Chapter 35: Official debut
The eldest grandson Huanting gently lifted the curtain of the car, and a group of military deployment officers gathered outside, why did they forget to remind the driver just now? Patronizing the price increase.
It's a fool not to take advantage of it, and Li Xiang himself also wants to get off near the military headquarters, who knows that they have already arrived at the door, isn't this a good opportunity? It also made it clear to everyone that the eldest grandson Wuji had re-reconciled with the East Palace.
This is a very important symbol, the eldest grandson Wuji is known as the first minister in the Zhenguan period, his every move is with many people's hearts, when this word is spread, no matter what the East Palace does, it is much more convenient than before.
"My nephew retired and went to visit my aunt and uncle at the house another day."
Li Xiang's face was upright, as if he didn't think of this, and the eldest grandson Huanting also felt that Li Xiang was still young, and he might not have so many twists and turns in his heart, but he tidied up Li Xiang's clothes before getting out of the car, just like his own nephew.
"Don't express your opinions after you go, let you be let by the adults, don't be too arrogant, listen more and learn more."
After the eldest grandson Huanting said this, she also felt a little strange, she usually never said a word, but when she saw Li Xiang leave at this moment, she actually said these words.
"Auntie's teachings."
Li Xiang turned around and waved his hand, and then jumped directly from the carriage, Zhao Yunhui had already caught up with him in the back, the military department was used to seeing all kinds of troops, but for Zhao Yunhui and more than a dozen of them, it was still amazing, it could be seen from the queue that it must be strictly trained in peacetime, but I didn't expect that there were such elite cavalry in the abandoned East Palace.
"I've seen Lord Shangshu."
When Li Xiang got out of the car, seeing that many people around him were about to kneel down and salute, Li Xiang took the first step to salute Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Li Jing had not yet come out of the sedan chair and received Li Xiang's gift first.
"In the end, it is the eldest grandson of the emperor, wearing the official uniform of our military deployment officer, it is also a tiger and a tiger, and it will start soon, you go to the Liaodong Division first to familiarize yourself."
Li Jing got down from the eight-carried sedan chair and saw Li Xiang's official uniform, although it was still a little big, but he also had the appearance of being an official, most of the many royal children were wearing royal dresses, and few people wore official uniforms, at least among the emperor's grandsons, Li Xiang set a precedent.
"Zhang Ping, come here, take your family to the Liaodong Division first."
Li Jing also needed to deal with some other official duties, so he called a subordinate official from among those who watched the excitement, which happened to be the eight-pin clerk of the Liaodong Division.
After the two sides met, Li Jing went in first, and today the emperor will also come to the Ministry of War, and he said that he would go to the Liaodong Division, but if the emperor wants to inspect the Ministry of War, we must also be prepared.
"Little Zhang Ping, please say hello to His Highness."
Zhang Ping is a small official of nearly forty, and he is an old man in the military department, but because there is no one to promote above, he has always been in this position, I heard that there is a royal highness in the Liaodong Division, and this guy has also begun to use his brains.
"Get up, we will work together in a yamen in the future, I'll call you Lao Zhang, we don't have so many courtesies, today I came to the yamen on the first day, and please take me for a walk, this will be used as the money I invite you to drink, and we will have a serious drink another day."
Li Xiang took out a small ingot from his cuff, you must know that in this era, copper coins are still the best-seller, but Li Xiang doesn't want to carry so many things up and down, and the nobles still use gold and silver.
"How do you say this, Your Highness is now the direct boss of the small one, and the little one has not given His Highness a heart, how can he take His Highness's reward first?"
Zhang Ping hurriedly took two steps back, and when he saw the little ingot, he knew that he had to have at least five taels of silver, and he only had the usual monthly salary a month, plus other grain and cloth, and it was a little more than two taels of silver, and Li Xiang rewarded five taels of silver at once, which was something that had never happened before.
"Pick it up, if you don't take this money, you don't want to be on my side, I'm a person with clear grievances, since you don't want to be on my side, then I'll find someone who is willing to take my money."
Li Xiang deliberately pulled up a face, and then involuntarily handed over the little ingots to Zhang Ping's hands, Li Xiang grasped the psychology of these people very accurately, don't look at their infinite scenery in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, but the officialdom was relatively honest during the Zhenguan period, so these people did not have much to gain, and their usual life was also hard.
If you take the money, you have to do something, in the next time, Zhang Ping took Li Xiang to visit the yamen of the military department, and everyone heard that this is His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson, who has been in the limelight in the past few days, and they also saw a salute in the courtyard, which is considered familiar.
Everyone is also wondering at the moment, I have heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is messing around, and there is no time to educate his children, but our Royal Highness is very good at dealing with people, where did he learn this? Could it be that we all heard it wrong before?
Finally, he came to the Liaodong Division, one of the eight divisions of the Ministry of War, and also met his top boss, Liaodong Division, Pan Renhai, an old man in his sixties.
In the 21st century, there are still many people in their sixties, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, sixty-year-olds are definitely already old, and this old man can't hear in one ear, and the hearing in the other ear is not very good.
"Your Highness, our Lord Pan has already asked to return to his hometown twice, but the emperor is not allowed to ......"
After Li Xiang met with this Master Pan, Zhang Ping whispered beside him.
Li Xiang only understood what was going on at this time, the deputy palm print of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War should be left for some people, of course, it was definitely not for himself at the beginning, if there was no amazing performance in the court that day, this position was likely to belong to other royal children, maybe it was Li Tai, the king of Wei, maybe it was Li Zhi, the king of Jin, but it definitely couldn't reach his head.
This Master Pan is obviously unable to even handle normal official duties, let alone deal with national affairs, so this is like a mascot, and the deputy palm print should be here to do business.
"Lord Shangshu has an order, the emperor will arrive in two moments, and the officials of the various departments will greet him."
Li Xiang was about to learn more about the situation, who knew that the herald had already come, and the emperor had now started from the palace, and he would soon arrive at the yamen of the military department.
Li Xiang's first officialdom debut is about to begin......
