After thinking about it for a long time, Li Hao asked: "Uncle, how could I be sent to Kaifeng Mansion as a magistrate, didn't you originally say that I would only serve in the idle yamen first." ”

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said: "It's not good to be an official in Kaifeng Mansion, it is the capital of the world, and it is in charge of Yin Zhengjidian's affairs, and he teaches the law to guide the people and persuade him." The prison lawsuits in the central capital are all subject to and listened to, small matters are dictated, and major matters are performed. If the will has been broken, the Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory will be picketed without relent. Eliminate the thieves, and if there is a traitor, the subordinate officials of the precept will be arrested and treated. Those who occupy the capital with household registration, enslavement, and Taoism will be given a ban and their accounts will be registered. ”

"What a weight, you, the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, are in charge of the account and rent of Kaifeng Mansion, and you have just stepped into the officialdom to hold such power, if you have merit in Kaifeng Mansion, you can directly reach the heavens, why are you not satisfied."

Li Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Of course I know that this official is good, then naturally the official fortune is prosperous, look at my uncle looking at me, as if he can do a good job of this official." If I want to be a general judge or the governor of the state government in the local government, I can give it a try, but this is the magistrate at the feet of the Son of Heaven. As the saying goes, three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng. Isn't this just full of evil, I feel that this award is because someone wants to harm me, I didn't offend anyone. ”

Hearing Li Hao's words, Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "Where are you talking nonsense, how many people can't be Beijing officials if they want to, what do you have to complain about, and say that someone is harming you." “

Li Hao felt the bitterness in his heart after hearing this, and then he heard Xue Shi say to Ouyang Xiu: "Don't scare Brother Hao, if you have anything, just tell him quickly." ”

Hearing this, Li Hao looked at Ouyang Xiu, and then listened to Ouyang Xiu say: "If you can think about it now, I am very satisfied, and I am so satisfied that you have no profit and wisdom, and you only see power, and there is no danger behind power." To be an official, it is necessary to be diligent and honest, and have the courage to do things, but you must be cautious and walk on thin ice, otherwise this road will not be long. ”

"But this time you can rest assured, no one wants to harm you, this time your official position is determined by His Majesty, so I said I don't know why you can have such a holy grace."

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "But the holy grace of the official family is not necessarily a good thing, although it is not for me to take care of the troublesome matters of punishment and prison lawsuits, but I have never been in contact with the household registration and rent, if I don't do well in the officialdom for the first time, wouldn't it be a way to recruit people, especially in Bianjing City, it is even more eye-catching." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Then there is good news, that is, your Shangxian is a smart, wise, resolute and resolute person, and he will definitely not embarrass you." ”

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "The current Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion Bachelor Cai heard that with his majesty, he is famous in the capital, and he is an official under him, so it is not very good. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Bachelor Cai is going to be transferred out of Kaifeng Mansion, and he will be transferred to the three envoys, and now I am a bachelor of Hanlin and a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and I know Kaifeng Mansion with the right to know." , Is it good for me to be on the constitution? ”

Li Hao immediately laughed after hearing this, and said, "It turned out that my uncle came to be my Shangguan, so naturally it couldn't be better." ”

Ouyang Xiu immediately said: "Then you can rest assured now, and you will not perform your duties for the time being, I will give you some documents these days, you are familiar with it first, and it will not be too late for you to take office after I arrive." ”

"In addition, I am mentioning a few words to you, Master Cai has been in charge of Kaifeng Mansion for several years, and he has been strict in his work, and now he is still in the prestige of moving up, as long as you don't make a big move or bend the law for personal gain, you only need Xiao Guicao to be casual in front of you, and you have enough time to slowly learn and adapt. But if you really do something corrupt and pervert the law, and break the law of the court, I will know it then, but I can't spare you, and the law of the court can't spare you. ”

Hearing this, Li Hao stood up and saluted, and said, "The little nephew will live up to his uncle's high expectations, enforce the law impartially, and serve the country." ”

Ouyang Xiu said, "Okay, remember what you said today, let's sit down first." ”

After Li Hao sat down, he asked, "But the little nephew still has something unclear, and I want to ask my uncle." ”

"You ask."

Li Hao asked: "I have only met the official family once at most in the palace examination, it stands to reason that the official family should not be so loving, my uncle, who has the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, is it not because I can be this official that I specially transferred my uncle, I have such a big face." ”

Ouyang Xiu said after hearing this: "That's because you think too much, my transfer to Kaifeng Mansion has been arranged for a long time, if it weren't for the purpose of presiding over this examination, I would have arrived some time ago." However, if it is said that you were transferred to Kaifeng Mansion to serve under my sect, it was not done by the official family, then I don't believe it, so it is indeed strange to do so. ”

"Isn't it that Prime Minister Han is speaking for me again, have the officials listened to Prime Minister Han like this?" Li Hao guessed.

Ouyang Xiu said affirmatively: "Then there is naturally none. ”

After finishing speaking, the two of them fell into deep thought, they really couldn't think of it, and they didn't want to think about it later, Li Hao waited for another dinner in Ouyang's mansion before leaving.

In the next few days, Li Hao began to close his door, thinking at home about how to be a good official in Kaifeng Mansion. Looking at the document given by Ouyang Xiu, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to manage the household registration and rent, just because Kaifeng Mansion must be managed by itself in addition to Kaifeng and Xiangfu two red counties, but there are also six Caos of Kaifeng Mansion, Gong Cao, Cang Cao, Hu Cao, Bing Cao, Fa Cao, and Shi Cao Li's Cao Shen Military is directly responsible, and he is just coordinating the household registration and taxation, and it is more about supervision and accounting, which should not be difficult after getting started.

As for the affairs of the other fourteen counties under Kaifeng Prefecture, they have their own points to manage the official affairs of the counties and towns in Kaifeng Prefecture, and they are above their own officials, and they can be directly responsible to Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and if they don't want to take care of it, they don't have to worry about it.

Just when Li Hao was still thinking about how to do a good job in this promotion, Li Hao's official status was basically known to those who were interested.

The Sheng family of this matter, Sheng Hong talked about it with the old lady in Shou'an Hall. Sheng Hong said: "I didn't expect Hao'er to be awarded the position of Kaifeng Mansion Governor, but it is much better than the Hanlin Academy in Changbai." But to say that the first-class official is much better than the second-class, but today's champion and list are all general judgments, but he, Tanhualang, can serve in Kaifeng Mansion, is not Ouyang Bachelor spent a lot of effort on this. ”

After hearing this, the old lady said: "I don't think this matter was recommended by Master Ouyang, even if I really want Brother Hao to stay in Bianjing, it stands to reason that I will not choose the location of Kaifeng Mansion, so with Brother Hao'er's age and qualifications are too eye-catching, doesn't this turn a good thing into a bad thing." ”

After hearing this, Sheng Hong said: "It makes sense according to what my mother said, but if it wasn't for Master Ouyang's intention, then who would arrange it." And how could Bachelor Ouyang be so coincidental to serve in Kaifeng Mansion. ”

Later, he replied: "Maybe it's very simple, it's just because Master Ouyang knew that he would go to Kaifeng Mansion, so he thought that he could support it nearby, so he did it." ”

Then he exclaimed: "Then Master Ouyang is too good to Brother Hao."

After hearing this, the old lady said: "Maybe so, although this seat is troublesome, but with Master Ouyang taking care of it, there will be no chaos in the future." And this is also a place where it is easy to make achievements, as long as you stay in the previous term, you will be promoted naturally at that time. ”

While the Sheng family was talking, Yan Fu also came to the door. found Li Hao to congratulate, and then pulled Li Hao to Fanlou to set up wine.
