Everyone was very fast, and there were a few officials behind them, hurrying to the Taiji Palace.

Zhang Yang's steps were unhurried, "This guy is alive and well now?" ”

Xu Jingzong was also worried, "It's good to eat and drink every day, it's a waste of money to raise it for so long, or kill it quickly?" This person even said that he wanted to weave in Lishan. ”

Listening to the words, Zhang Yang's expression seemed calm, as if he was listening to something inconsequential, "It's been three months, how is Gaochang's investigation?" ”

"Hui Shangshu has already been checked, most of them are uncles and nephews doing things outside, I heard that behind them is mainly people in the matrilineal lineage, most of the news is very fragmentary, and there are not many people who can be found, as long as these people are near the Tianshan Mountains, Gao Chang will be aware of it, and they have already stared, whether they do it all depends on the meaning of Shangshu."

Walking to the front of the Tai Chi Hall, everyone was still chatting in groups at this moment.

Zhang Yang looked at the position at the front of the class, and Wei Zheng was really not there.

"Lao Xu."

Xu Jingzong bowed, "Dare to ask Shangshu how to command?" ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "You come forward, go and have a good chat with this surnamed An, and after chatting, buy some medicinal materials to dispel wind and cold and replenish qi, and go to visit Zheng Gong." ”

"Xiaguan understands."

Lishan's weaving technology can not be easily handed over to others, and it is impossible to give this surname An, the current factory technology is not mature, improving the technical level has always been the direction of Lishan, technology is the foundation of Lishan.

There are many discerning people in this world, and you can see at a glance that the core of cotton cloth is weaving technology, and there are only a lot more people looking for this technology in the future.

Zhang Yang stood still in his place.

The emperor has always come to the court according to the hour, and the main topic of discussion at this court meeting is the imperial examination, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the generals of the Weifu are more discussed.

The Weifu also needs to replenish manpower, especially those who have learned the art of war and can manage the army.

As for the civilian side, there has been a shortage of people for a long time.

In order to resist the family, Li Shimin made up his mind to open the imperial examination, and did not bow to the gate lords of the scholar clan.

There is no scholar gate to supplement the officials in the court, which also leads to the shortage of people in the court has always been the norm.

The Ministry of Rites opened up the Foreign Affairs Academy, and also had the power to recruit personnel on its own.

The imperial examination did not have much impact on the Ministry of Rites.

It's not something that the Ministry of Etiquette can meddle in.

The matter involved the distribution of officials, and most of the people remained silent except for Li Shimin's cronies.

There is a place in Gaoling County that is the intersection of the Wei River and the Jing River.

There is a spectacle where the clear Jing River and the turbid Wei River meet and are separated by two sides.

At the confluence of the river, on one side is the muddy water coming down from the Loess Plateau, and on the other side is the clear Jing River.

This is the so-called clear distinction.

The Foreign Affairs Yuan should also be clear in its work, and should not be mixed with things that should not be mixed.

Li Shimin listened to the discussion of the ministers, and looked at the left side of the court, Zhang Yang, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was now standing in the second row of the court.

The boy stood here with his eyes half-closed, and he had no intention of speaking, and even wondered if he was asleep.

There are a lot of gags in the court.

Among the six departments, ranking among the Shangshu, there is only one person who dares to sleep early in this position, Zhang Yang.

The itchy teeth can only endure it at the moment, and in time he will definitely hang him in front of the Chengtian Gate.

This is the goal, Li Shimin has been warning himself, don't forget.

At the end of the early dynasty, Zhang Yang was sleepy-eyed, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had almost gone.

Zheng Gong's instructions could not be ignored, and there were only a few elders in the court.

Zhang Yang walked out of the Taiji Palace, took a deep breath and prepared to face the many affairs of Zhongshu Province, and went to Zhongshu Province.

Today's weather is good, and it should be the day to go to Lishan to build a new home.

"You're also going to Zhongshu Province today?" Li Chengqian was surprised.

To say that Zhang Yang usually doesn't go in any other direction at all, he walked straight out of the Chengtian Gate after leaving the Taiji Palace, and he won't stay for a long time at all.

In this direction, you will pass by the Ganlu Temple, and go straight to the Zhongshu Province.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is a Chinese scholar, Zheng Gong is seriously ill, I want to do some political affairs."

"I see."

Looking at Zhang Yang's entangled face, Li Chengqian explained: "You don't have to worry, everyone in Zhongshu Province is the minister of the humerus, everything is important to affairs, and it will not make things too difficult for you." ”

"Really?" Zhang Yang still smiled awkwardly.

A bear child ran in the distance, and when the child ran closer, he saw that it was Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

Seeing that it was Zhang Yang, Li Zhi ran forward quickly, "Is my brother-in-law also going to see my father?" ”

Zhang Yang's eyes looked at the yellow tea eggs in the basket, "I went to Zhongshu Province to do business, not to see your father." ”

Li Zhi carried the basket, "Brother-in-law wants to eat tea eggs or not, they are all boiled by the palace maids, thinking that I will bring some to my father." ”

Zhang Yang took the basket and took out two and put them in Li Zhi's hands, "Thank you for the tea eggs of His Royal Highness King Jin, and take the rest to your father and emperor to eat." ”

Li Zhi was stunned in the courtyard with two still warm tea eggs in his hands.

Zhang Yang carried a basket of tea eggs, walked farther and farther, peeling and eating as he walked, "Do you want one from His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Li Chengqian disagreed with Zhang Yang's behavior of taking food from children, "It's lonely." ”

Zhang Yang continued to walk, continuing to eat eggshells and peeling them all the way.

Zhongshu Province started to be busy early, and the eldest grandson Wuji sent away a few officials, and looked at Zhang Yang, who was walking with the crown prince.

The eldest grandson Wuji Hu said suspiciously: "What did this person do when he came to Zhongshu Province?" ”

The little official on the side replied: "I heard that Zhang Shangshu is also a Chinese scholar waiter, and most of the time he came to Zhongshu Province to have important things to do." ”

He is also a Chinese scholar......

The eldest grandson Wuji held his forehead in distress, almost forgetting that there was such a number one squire in Zhongshu Province, he had never seen him come to Zhongshu Province, and the only time was brought by Fang Xuanling.

Zhang Yang walked into Zhongshu Province with a basket of tea eggs, and asked when he met people, "Do you eat tea eggs?" His Royal Highness the King of Jin cooked it. ”

The other party looked at the tea egg in disbelief.

Zhongshu Province is the central political center, who will share tea eggs here.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that we are working too hard, come and invite everyone to eat tea and eggs......" Zhang Yang did not wait to refuse, and then stuffed one to the other party after speaking.

"It's not good when it's cold." Zhang Yang admonished.

Put down two tea eggs on Fang Xuanling's table.

Fang Xuanling was about to say something, but saw that Zhang Yang had already spoken, "Fang Xiang, don't be polite, the tea eggs boiled by His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

For a while, it was like a fish in his throat, since it was the tea egg boiled by His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he was also sensible to the King of Jin, why did Zhang Yang come to Zhongshu Province for the first time to buy people's hearts.

In front of the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Yang looked at the basket that was already empty, "Zhao Guogong, the tea eggs are gone." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the song with a straight face, "It's okay, the old man doesn't like to eat." ”

Zhang Yang glanced at it again, "Zhao Guogong? ”

Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath, as if suppressing the anger in his heart, and said, "Do you have anything else?" ”

"Zheng Pingshi sat in that position, and Zheng Gong was seriously ill and entrusted with some government affairs under the bed's instructions." Eldest Sun Wuji pointed to the seat next to him.

After Gao Shilian left, there were three phases in the court, which were divided into servants, Zhongshu Ling, and Shangshu left servants.

The relationship between these three people is special, and the position of the proper prime minister has always been vacant.

This also designed the original Li Shimin to ascend the throne and arrange the rule of officials, but it was also difficult to seal the minister.

So that many matters in Zhongshu Province are handled by the three Shangguan together, and Li Shimin can also listen to some more opinions, Li Shimin has always been very careful in the arrangement of power, and there has never been a situation of a monopoly of power during the reign of Tian Khan.

Now it seems that there is a vague appearance of the three heads of the cabinet.

Zhang Yang sat down in Zheng Gong's position, and there was no music on the table.

As a Zhongshu waiter, this is Zhang Yang's first time on duty in Zhongshu Province, Li Chengqian listened to the report of the little official, and looked at Zhang Yang from time to time.

The man had been in a state of calm since he sat down, and there was no music in front of him, and he did not take care of it.

He sat motionless for half an hour.

Li Chengqian frowned and thought about it, and said that this person was asleep?

Zheng Gong was not in Zhongshu Province, and most of the recitals were handed over to Zhao Guogong and Fang Xiang.

Some people also wanted to hand the chapter to Zhang Yang, but seeing him sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, he hesitated and handed it to Zhao Guogong and Fang Xiang.

"Are you going to sit like this for a day?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but speak.

The words were not loud, but there were still a lot of eyes around looking at Zhang Yang.

As soon as this person arrived in Zhongshu Province, he distributed the tea eggs to everyone, and the so-called eating people with short mouths and short hands made everyone ignore him.

Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward, "There is just a tricky matter here, I need you to take a look at it and give some guidance." ”

The prince took the lead in breaking the siege and walked in front of Zhang Yang.

The crowd bowed their heads again and went about their business.

After sitting for a long time, his legs were numb, Zhang Yang stood up, "I don't know what is difficult." ”

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "In Xiangzhou, there is a governor who wants to open an official school, but the other party has been prevaricating, so he brought the local squire here, and he wanted to ask clearly, hoping to open the official school. ”

has been busy for two years, and Li Chengqian has been staring at the opening of the official school.

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Are you in Chang'an City?" ”

"Here, at this moment, people are in Anyefang."

"Then I'll go down with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have a look."

Li Chengqian nodded happily and said, "You will also go with Gu." ”

Tang Shanzhi put down the file in his hand and kept up.

Since Tian Khan married Princess Yuzhang to Tang Shanzhi, he is naturally a member of the clan, and he has always been close to the prince.

Because his father Tang Jian was relegated to his hometown, and I don't know if this Tang Shanzhi will hold a grudge, the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Zhang Yang still smiled politely.

Tang Shanzhi also returned the salute with a smile, "Zhang Shangshu is really ......"

Zhang Yang smiled: "Qi Yu Xuanang? ”

"It's hard to put into words."

Speaking was like squeezing toothpaste, and Tang Shanzhi finally squeezed out the words.

The two followed the prince all the way, and Zhang Yang asked again: "I don't know if Tang Guan is okay now?" ”

Tang Shanzhi replied all the way: "He returned to Chang'an City at the beginning of the year, saying that he was going to compile books in Chang'an City, but he was beaten by his father and still did not change his mind, so he let him go." ”

"It turns out that this is the case, the Tang Guan brothers have really twisted and turned for their lifelong ambitions."

The face wall was also punished, and the two fathers and sons were sent back to their hometowns, and Tang Jian naturally couldn't easily return to Chang'an City if he wanted to set an example.

Zhang Yang whispered: "Is Tang Guan suspected of resisting the decree when he returned to Chang'an City this time?" ”

Tang Shanzhi pondered all the way, "Your Majesty will not get along with a junior, and he has never come to ask, even if there is a suspicion of resisting the decree, it is Tang Guan's own business, it is already the year of wearing a crown, if there is a disaster, he should bear it himself, there are many brothers in the family, even if he dies, it doesn't matter." ”

"My own brother said that he didn't care, and Brother Tang admired it freely."

Tang Shanzhi shook his head and said, "What? Does Zhang Shangshu want to take care of my family affairs? ”

"I just asked casually, I didn't mean it, Brother Tang misunderstood."

"That'll be fine."

Li Chengqian led the way, listening to the conversation between the two, speechless for a while.

Talking with people can be Fengyue or poetry, and officials in the DPRK and China can also talk about political affairs or knowledge.

Why does Zhang Yang have to talk about family affairs when talking to people?

Asking random questions about other people's family matters can make people feel offended.

Maybe it's because Zhang Yang has a withdrawn personality and is not good at talking.

The prince was silent, and Zhang Yang and Tang Shanzhi were also silent.

The atmosphere was also a little more awkward.

I was also worried in my heart, and as soon as Zhang Yang opened his mouth, he was afraid that there would be some embarrassing words that people couldn't answer.

"The day after tomorrow is a lonely marriage, you two must come." Li Chengqian was the first to break the silence.

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

Tang Shanzhi also wanted to say this, but he was preempted.

The guards escorted the three of them to the gate of Anyefang, and when they saw that Li Chengqian was about to push the door in, Zhang Yang hurriedly stopped, "Wait." ”

Li Chengqian was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

"How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to go in and talk to the other party?"

"Naturally, the conversation is to sit opposite each other, or have tea and drink together."

Zhang Yang looked at Tang Shanzhi again, "Brother Tang, did you bring any money?" ”

Tang Shanzhi's face darkened, and he replied decisively: "No." ”

"Huh? Isn't this money bag hanging from his waist? ”

Tang Shanzhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, took out the money bag, and explained: "I forgot it for a while." ”

Zhang Yang took the money bag and opened it to look at the copper coins in it, which looked about thirty yuan, and handed the money bag to the guards on the side, "Please go to the Chengnan wine shop to ask for a pot of good wine, and then three catties of mutton, if there is any surplus, let the restaurant prepare more dishes." ”

The guard looked at the prince hesitantly.

It wasn't until Li Chengqian nodded that he hurriedly left to run errands.

Zhang Yang led a few people to the other side of the street and waited, it is always bad to stand in front of other people's houses.

"When the drinks, meat, and dishes arrive, we'll visit again." Zhang Yang explained to Li Chengqian.

"Why do you want to use the money of the lower officials, I heard that Zhang Shangshu has a lot of money, why is this so?" Tang Shanzhi breathed out of his nostrils, and he had a bad attack in front of the prince, so he could only ask like this.

Zhang Yang smiled and explained: "It's a shame to say that the daughter-in-law in the family is in charge of money. ”

Tang Shanzhi looked up to the sky and sighed, "The clever rhetoric is admired by the lower officials, if there is such a situation again, it must be learned." ”

"Brother Tang, I'm not an excuse, my family is really a daughter-in-law who manages money."
