In a blink of an eye, on the morning of April 27 in the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124 AD), after preparations, I went to Kaifeng Mansion to take office today, dressed in the morning and put on the crown and stepped on the carriage, there was a prince's guard of honor in front of the car, Zhang Heng, the chief of the guard, led the 16 guards to open the road, followed by 16 guards, the door of the mansion stood Zhu Lian Princess, housekeeper Wang Jin, Huiji Tian Zai'an and spring, summer, autumn and winter four incense, I waved my hand to all of them, put down the curtain and said casually: Drive. With the slow start of the wheels, all the way through the Tongji Gate, through the colonnade, out of the Xuanyou Gate, through the left Yintai Gate, through the left Jiasu Gate, through the left Changqing Gate, through the Zuoye Gate, out of the inner city of the Inner Courtyard Road, turn west into the Xuande Gate Heng Street, go to the Royal Street and then go west soon to reach the location of the Kaifeng Mansion.

Jingshi Kaifeng Mansion, also known as Nanya, was built in the first year of Liang Kaiping after the fifth dynasty (907 AD), Kaifeng Mansion was built in accordance with the Northern Song Dynasty Li Jie's "Construction French Style", the layout is regular, solemn and elegant, the tall roof, fine painting, everywhere embodies the architectural style of the Song Dynasty. It is composed of more than 50 large and small halls and buildings, such as the palace gate, the instrument gate, the main hall, the council hall and the plum blossom hall as the central axis, supplemented by the Tianqing Temple, the Mingli Temple, the Qingxin Building, the Prison, the Yingwu Building, etc. Kaifeng Mansion not only has Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong serving as the governor here, but also a large number of outstanding politicians, writers and military strategists such as Kou Zhun, Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi, Sima Guang, Su Song, Cai Xiang and Zong Ze serving here.

The car passed the Spring Pavilion, stopped before arriving at the wall, the guards came to lift the curtain, I tidied up my clothes and stepped out, the guards moved to the steps and put them up, I walked down the car steps, looked forward and saw the door of the Kaifeng Mansion Gate and everyone immediately knelt down and said: The lower official knocked to see the prince, congratulations to the prince on his appointment as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. I smiled and looked at the people at the door, then slowly raised my hand and said, "Everyone, please get up and come inside to speak." And went straight to the door of the Kaifeng Mansion, and stopped with a smile on his face after coming to the front of everyone, and the chamberlain submitted the holy decree, the office documents and related documents, and saw the burly man on the left hand and said: Congratulations to the prince Lord Yin for his arrival, and the judge Li Tietou, please enter the mansion with his subordinates. I nodded and said, "Judge Li leads the way."

Under the guidance of Judge Li, we stepped into the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and when we passed the Yi Gate, we saw a huge stone standing in front of us, which is the legend of the very famous "Ring Stone Inscription". It is engraved on the south side of the boulder "Gongshengming", reminding all officials that only by being fair and dedicated to the public can they be discerning and honest; On the north side of the boulder, it carves "Erfeng Erlu, the people's fat and the people's ointment; The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive", which is intended to warn officials to keep themselves clean, serve as officials, and benefit one party. This ring stone inscription is Song Taizong from the five generations after the Shu lord Meng Chang precept hundred official text extracted four sentences, that is, "Eryu Erlu, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, the heavens are difficult to deceive", personally written and given to the state, government, county magistrates and other officials across the country, ordered the local government to carve on the stone, placed behind the house gate, as a time reminder for officials at all levels, at that time it was called "ring stone inscription". Since the Song Dynasty, this megalith has become a common practice, and later generations often stand on the wall of the official office facing the lobby, and the calligraphy has also been changed to the famous calligrapher Huang Tingjian.

Everyone bypassed the ring stone inscription, which is the main hall of the Kaifeng Mansion, which is the place where the Kaifeng Mansion Yin issued decrees, handled government affairs, and the government held major activities to openly try important cases. There is a solemn atmosphere in the lobby, and the display in front of the lobby is the well-known "dragon head", "tiger head" and "dog head" three copper guillotines, which is daunting. Under the guidance of Judge Li, I went up to the front and sat on the desk in the middle of the lobby, and then I saw that the people followed under the leadership of Judge Li Tietou, saluted again, and stood up after the salute was divided into three on the left and six on the right, and then I heard the judge Li Tietou in front of the left arched his hand and said: Lord Yin of the Prince's Mansion, please allow the lower official to introduce the people in the lobby, seeing me nodding, he pointed to the other two on the left and continued, these two are the Tuiguan Di Fuqing, the Mansion Zhang Gu, and pointed to the six Dao opposite, these six are the soldier Cao Ouyang Xiu, the criminal Cao Zhang Kai, Gong Cao Wang Jie, Li Cao Chen Da, Hu Cao Shen Kuo, and Cao Miao Long. Every time I reported them, I smiled and nodded when I saw them give me a gesture to show my respect and knowledge.

After Judge Li's introduction, I already have a general understanding of the senior management in Kaifeng Mansion. After all, so many people looked at me, in order to avoid embarrassment, I said to everyone in the hall: Everyone, this prince is newly appointed as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and he may be relatively unfamiliar with the overall government affairs. Everyone in the hall replied loudly: The subordinates and others are subject to the instructions of Lord Yin of the Prince's Mansion, and the subordinates are willing to serve the prince. Seeing this, I nodded slightly and said: Very good, Judge Li will first take the prince to familiarize himself with all the places in the lower mansion, and the others will follow the steps and deal with government affairs first. After all, it was the first day to take office, and it was only the nominal prince, that is, the emperor's transitional position, and everyone in the hall did not expect me to do anything specifically for the government.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Judge Li, I went to various places in the government to familiarize myself with the environment. Passing through the main hall of the government is the meeting hall, which is the meeting place of the chief executive, and when you enter the door, you can see that the room is displayed with neat sandalwood chairs and tables, and the overall decoration is classical and solemn. After that, there is the Qinzheng Hall and the Plum Blossom Hall. This is the central axis built according to Li Jie's "Construction of the French Style", the west side of the central axis is the stele pavilion, the west prison of the Fusi, the school field (the place of the martial arts examination), the Yingwu Building (the place of the martial arts welcome and the place of the martial arts examination during the imperial examination), the Tianqing Temple (the national Taoist temple) and other buildings, and the east side of the central axis is the Yin Hotel, the Ming Rite Temple, the Gongkui Building (the examination room during the imperial examination), the Gui Ji Hall (the collection of the roster), the Qingfeng Building and other building complexes. The most impressive thing is the big wall in front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion before, on which the high relief is carved in the picture of the pig, the legend of the pig, has a high degree of wisdom, understands people's words and knows human nature. Angry eyes are open, can distinguish between right and wrong, can recognize good and evil, loyal and treacherous. It usually appears at the door of the criminal law enforcer, and when he finds an evil official, he touches him with his horn and eats him.

After visiting all the way to noon, he ate in the canteen of the government with everyone, and then came to the lobby after a short rest, and asked Judge Li to roughly introduce the situation of the palace, Judge Li immediately bowed his head and bowed and saluted and said: Prince Qiyu, after the first year of Liang Kaiping (907), Liang Taizu Zhu Wen founded the country, promoted Bianzhou to Kaifeng Mansion, built the name of Tokyo, and currently the government has jurisdiction over sixteen counties, namely Kaifeng, Weishi, Chenliu, Yongqiu, Fengqiu, Zhongmu, Yangwu, Yanjin, Changyuan, Dongming, Fugou, Yanling, Kaocheng, Taikang, Xianping, Chen Liu.

After listening to Judge Li's general introduction, I can't help but think that this Beijing Division Kaifeng is so complicated, it is not an easy thing to manage well, and how to make the management of so many states and governments in the country more humane, which has to make me one of the key issues to consider next, and to realize the refinement of a city, humanized management and the transformation of the government's service functions, this is not something that can be completed overnight, and the next can only be piloted in Beijing Kaifeng. Thinking of this, I said to Judge Li: Very good, hard work Judge Li, in order to be familiar with the affairs of the government, I ask you to take all the documents about Kaifeng, and let the prince study them by himself, and other government affairs can be handled according to the regulations, and there is no need to ask for instructions if there is no important matter. Li Tietou saluted and said goodbye to get the relevant government information......
