Chapter 129: Buying People's Hearts, Starting with Officials and Slaves (Seeking Everything)

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Wang Ji and the others went to their respective duties with the documents of the Shangshu Office and the warrant of the Son of Heaven.

In this Weiyang Palace, or in this big man, different things need different levels of orders.

The distinction between the validity and the level of these orders is not based on whose name is written on them, but by whose seal they affix to them.

The seal of the Son of Heaven, the seal of the general, the seal of the Shaofu, and the seal of the guard...... and even the seals of various other petty officials.

They all play different roles and govern different affairs.

The higher the level of the seal, the greater the power it represents, and the more important it is to do what it can do.

Of course, there are two exceptions in the Weiyang Palace at this time: the first exception is that the seal of the Son of Heaven is not in the hands of the Son of Heaven, but in the Shangshu Department; The second exception is in some trivial matters, the face of the Son of Heaven can sometimes play some role, which can save the step of showing the seal.

Wang Ji and the others had different things to do, so the orders they needed to issue were naturally different.

This naturally has a loophole that can be exploited - after all, when the Son of Heaven comes forward, the three princes and nine kings have to sell some face on some trivial things.

……

In the front yard of Shaofu Temple, the young Yu Wuwu led the slaves and hired workers who entered the palace the day before, waiting for the arrival of Shaofu Lecheng.

At this moment, Yu Wuwu was carrying a warrant written by the Son of Heaven, which was only stamped with Liu He's private seal, not the emperor's seal.

Liu Hegui is the Son of Heaven, and according to common sense, his private seal has the same effect as the emperor's seal.

However, because he has not yet been in power, the role of his private seal is naturally not as effective as that of the general's seal, nor as effective as the seal of the Shaofu, and it may not even be as useful as the seal of the court order.

It's just that for the "little thing" that Yu Wuwu wants to do today, having the warrant of the Son of Heaven is completely enough - after all, in the eyes of others, the Son of Heaven just wants to arrange some slaves and miscellaneous servants who are easy to use.

Yu Wuwu had just stood in the courtyard for less than a quarter of an hour, and a group of people came to the front yard from the direction of the main hall.

What surprised Yu Wuwu was that the one who was the leader turned out to be a Shaofu Le person with a real rank of two thousand stones.

Behind him should be the orders of the various offices, offices, and officials of the Shaofu.

Yu Wuwu roughly counted the rounds with his eyes, there were as many as twenty or thirty people, no wonder they all said that the Shaofu was the most complex and the most subordinate officials in the Jiuqing, and this time he really looked at the vision.

"The subordinate Yu is worry-free and asks Shaofu An." After Yu Wuwu finished saluting, he saluted the subordinate officials behind Le Cheng and said, "Your subordinate Yu Wuwu asks you to make Jun An." ”

"Eh, Yu Langzhong, hurry up and be polite, you are the official of the Son of Heaven, you don't have to be so polite, you and I can treat each other politely." As he spoke, Le Cheng immediately stretched out his hand to help Yu Wuwu up, and the other subordinate officials standing behind him naturally returned the salute again and again.

On the way from Changyi to Chang'an, Le Cheng actually didn't have much dealings with Yu Wuwu, because Yu Wuwu's rank was too low at that time, and Le Cheng, Jiuqing, rashly made friends and curryed favor, which seemed a bit deliberate. It's not as cost-effective as making friends with An Le, who is competent for Zuo Fengyi.

And now, Yu Wuwu is already a genuine official of the Son of Heaven, and he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so Le Cheng naturally still has to make friends.

It is true that Le Cheng is the Huo Party, but the Son of Heaven calls the general the middle father, and the Huo and Liu families have become a family, so isn't the Huo Party the Son of Heaven and the Party?

So why does Le Cheng have too many scruples?

Yu Wuwu hasn't figured out how to speak, but Le Cheng, who is well-informed in the officialdom, waved his hand and said: "Yu Langzhong, you are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, from now on, you and my Shaofu Temple will inevitably have to assist each other, I will first take you to recognize the Lingcheng in this temple." ”

"Everything is up to the government." Yu Wuwu said respectfully.

His Majesty said that after entering the palace, everything must be drawn slowly.

At that time, His Majesty also said a country slang that looked vulgar, but it was quite expressive: like a dog, tbetween its tail and be a man.

"This is the imperial physician Li Yuanjun, who is in charge of the matter of asking the doctor Tang Shi in the palace, if Your Majesty is sick with the Holy Body, you can let Li Yuanjun send the imperial doctor to consult."

"This is the ancestor envoy of the examination worker, in charge of the weaving handyman, and also in charge of bronze, lacquerware and other things, what the Son of Heaven wants, you can come to let the ancestor envoy supervise the creation."

"This is the East Garden Craftsman, an official who specializes in the production of artifacts in the Imperial Mausoleum, Emperor Xiaozhao, and the East Garden Craftsman has been busy for a long time......"

The first is to be responsible for collecting taxes on mountains, seas and ponds, and managing local contributions for the use of the court; The second is to manage all the food, clothing, daily life, safari and fun of the Son of Heaven, the queen concubine and the palace people.

This covers almost everything related to the Son of Heaven, and the personnel are naturally very complex.

Le Cheng introduced the past one by one, and Yu Wuwu kept all the positions and responsibilities of these people in mind, and he must have to deal with them often in the future.

After all the introductions, Yu Wuwu suddenly found that there seemed to be some orders missing, such as Shangshu Ling and Fu Jie Ling, which were not included.

It seems that these not present Lingcheng are only nominally under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, but in fact they are under the jurisdiction of Huo Guang, the secretary of the Lingshang - they manage the seal of the Son of Heaven and have important duties.

"Xiaguan Yu will inevitably disturb the envoys in the future, and I hope that the envoys will not hesitate to give advice."

"I hope Yu Langzhong will teach you." A group of subordinate officials said in a cloud.

After another half-truth and half-false greeting, Yu Wuwu found an opportunity and said the business logically.

"Yuefujun, these people behind Xia Guan are all the old people of Changyi Palace, Your Majesty misses the old, so he brought them all, Your Majesty said, he is used to the old people, so he doesn't want to replace them, and he still wants them to serve his daily life." After finishing speaking, Yu Wuwu took out the warrant written by Liu He from his arms.

Le Cheng took the silk book, slowly unfolded it, just glanced at it cursoryly, and said simply: "A few days ago, the Queen Mother and the concubines of Emperor Xiaozhao all moved to Changle Palace, and they just took away many servants, and many positions were vacant. ”

After Le Cheng finished speaking, he said to the Lingcheng behind him: "The princes will take the people down separately and tell those slaves and miscellaneous servants who are left behind that they are all old people in His Majesty's Hidden Mansion, and they must not be bullied at will, otherwise they will all be flogged fifty." ”

"Yui!"

"Yu Langzhong, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?" Le Cheng said with an elegant and easy-going face, still flattering.

Shaofu often walks in front of the king, so Le Cheng knows that the close ministers of the Son of Heaven are the most important, and he may be able to soar one day.

Just like a general, wasn't he just a small Shangshu by the side of Emperor Xiaowu back then?

That's why Le Cheng has a hint of flattery for Yu Wuwu, and if he is replaced by other Lang officials, let alone flattering, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him.

"The arrangement of the prince is very proper, and the subordinates are extremely impressed." After thanking Yu Wuwu, he continued, "Your Majesty still has something to discuss with the prince. ”

"Yu Langzhong, this is serious, Your Majesty has something, just give an order, how can you discuss the word?" Le Chengcheng was terrified.

"Your Majesty said that from today onwards, whether it is the old people who are retained or those who come from Changyi, each person will be given an extra five hundred yuan per month, and His Majesty will give them additional vegetable money."

"It's not hard to hire a servant and a handyman, but is this slave also going to be paid?" Le Cheng asked a little puzzled.

The status of slaves and maids is the same as that of cattle and horses, where do cattle and horses need vegetable money, and where do they need money?

"Your Majesty said, the monarch and the ministers, the father and the son, only the father's mercy can be filial piety, so I want the slaves and maids in this palace to live better."

The Son of Heaven is kind, but also naΓ―ve.

There are so many slaves and maids in the Han Dynasty, how many people can the Son of Heaven save like this? You can't force everyone to give the five hundred vegetables to the slaves.

Although he was funny in his heart, Le Cheng said very respectfully: "The Son of Heaven is merciful, I will let people do it on the same day." ”

……

In the final analysis, what Yu Wuwu does is just a chore, so it is not difficult to do.

And Gong Sui and Wang Ji, everything they did was related to military power, which was the most sensitive thing.

Today's four more 10,000 words, this is the fourth one. I beg you to give you a monthly pass!!
