Chapter 23 The Imperial Historian
When Tang Dynasty returned to the villa at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, even he felt strange why he could have such extraordinary self-control and be able to sit still. And what surprised me even more was that the eldest princess Yuzhen did not force herself to comply.
He knew that in such a situation, if she pushed herself, it would be really difficult for him to guarantee that he would not make mistakes.
But she didn't, this woman didn't, so maybe she was really in love with me?
When he thought of this, Tang Chao's heart was pounding, is this okay?
But he was doing too much today, and he was so tired, and soon, his mind was interrupted, and he fell asleep, and he had a strange dream, he dreamed of watching a total solar eclipse with his former buddies Piggy and Xiaolong. At that time, they often talked about crossing, and they really hoped that they could travel to the former dynasty to have a good time, and they discussed with each other that they would bring a "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and a "One Hundred Ming Dynasty of the Twentieth Century".
When he was about to make his dream here, he was awakened by a sound of footsteps: "Lord Tang, I am Wang Xian, the minister of the imperial history, and Gonggong Gao asks you to go over immediately." ”
Tang Chao woke up in shock, only to know that he had a strange dream, not only "Twenty Actual One Hundred Ming" and "Three Hundred Tang Poems", but also the inseparable mobile phone before the crossing, and couldn't help but sigh faintly: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want?" ”
Wang Xian, a famous minister in the imperial history, listened to the poems of the Tang Dynasty and sneered: "Lord Tang, Gao Gong is just angry, he wants you to go, I advise you to hurry up." ”
Only then did Tang Chao realize the seriousness of the matter: "What, is something happening?" ”
Wang Xian sneered: "Lord Tang, you just took office and became a waiter of the Yellow Gate, why did you live in such a mansion?" ”
Tang Dynasty muttered in his heart, obediently, don't arrest corrupt officials everywhere like before the crossing, this Tang Dynasty's official governance seems to be better than I imagined, could it be that I accepted such a bribe and was arrested? instinctively defended: "I, I'm just living temporarily, with my money, how can I afford it." ”
Wang Xian smiled disdainfully: "Really? The tail of the voice was elongated, like a steel wire suddenly snapping from the middle.
Although Tang Chao was scared in his heart, he still replied: "Yes, I don't believe you ask my subordinates!" As he spoke, he gestured to the letter beside him.
Wang Xian didn't wait for the letter to speak: "Such a person is also worthy of talking to me, tell you, Lord Tang, I will report this matter to the emperor, you just hurry up, my father-in-law may not be able to wait." ”
Tang Chao was shocked in his heart, he didn't know what the person in front of him was from, but he had to quickly put on his clothes, he ***, just brutally broke into the place where Lao Tzu slept, is this still polite? I had to talk while getting dressed: "This hehe, this lord, I don't know what kind of official you are doing under Gonggong Gao?" ”
He originally wanted to curry favor with this official, but after such a question, Wang Xian's face immediately turned as red as a pig's liver, "What, Lord Tang, although your official quality is above me, don't forget, I am not a person who can be used by Gonggong Gao, I am a minister in the imperial history before the emperor, but because I want to investigate your case, I came over to help Gonggong Gao pass a word!" ”
The Tang Dynasty listened to his tone, and it seemed that the official position he held was not a minor official, but he didn't know what kind of official this was, so he asked: "Oh, I know, but, the kid has just entered the court, and he doesn't know how to be respectful and humble, and I ask Lord Wang to instruct me, what kind of official is the minister in the imperial history?" ”
Wang Xian glanced at Tang Chao suspiciously, and saw that he didn't seem to take his words in his eyes at all, and came to ask these irrelevant words, he sneered in his heart, anyway, I have already brought the words, if you don't rush to see Gonggong Gao, he will blame the old man later, but he can't blame me, so he replied: "Lord Tang is so idle, then the official will tell you that the task of the ministers in the imperial history is to impeach hundreds of officials to see if there are any criminal officials who are traitors and corrupt criminals!" ”
When Tang Chao heard this, his heart trembled twice, my mother, why is she so miserable, she just received a mansion, and she only lived in it for one day, she seemed to be about to be impeached, and quickly grabbed his hand: "Wang, Lord Wang, I really live here temporarily, really, I don't lie to you!" ”
At the same time, remorse swelled up in my heart, I also said that Wang Ju was a good official, and he gave me such a good thing, but I didn't expect that as soon as he was done, he would call someone to dismantle my platform. He knew that the matter of sending himself to the mansion in Zhongnan was only a matter of birth within a day or two, and it was carried out very secretly, except for Wang Ju's informant, no one knew about it.
Wang Xian smiled gloomily: "Lord Tang, I am just a four-grade imperial minister, and I am responsible for just reporting suspicious things to the emperor, these words, you are waiting for the time to confront the emperor in the future."
Seeing that he said so seriously, Tang Chao was anxious, and grabbed his hand: "Lord Wang, please raise your noble hand, just let me go this time, okay?" ”
Wang Xian took his eyes to look at the letter with a nervous look on the side, as if he was an eyesore.
Tang Chao's eyes rolled, could it be that he had something secret to say to me, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhuan, please go out for a while, I have something to talk about with Lord Wang!" ”
The letter went out in confusion.
Wang Xian waited for the letter to close the door, and smiled with satisfaction: "Lord Tang, I was still worried just now, you climbed to the high position of the Yellow Gate Squire at a young age, you must be a smarter person than you do, now it seems that it is indeed true, since Lord Tang has closed the door, there is no third party here except you and me, you should always know the meaning of Gonggong Gao sending me?" ”
"I know, I know!" Tang Chao said while taking out a large stack of jiaozi, stuffing the whole 10,000 taels into Wang Xian's hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, boy, I just took office, I don't have much money, these few pieces of broken paper, I will give them to Lord Wang to buy a few boxes of cigarettes to smoke!" As soon as I said it, I felt that I had said something wrong, ***, I thought I hadn't crossed yet, but fortunately Wang Xian didn't care.
When Wang Xian saw it, he immediately smiled, and excused himself: "How can this be done, I am an official who is responsible for helping the emperor to check the hundred officials?" ”
Seeing his face, Tang Chao hurriedly said: "Where and where, just a few things, it is not a respect, accept it!" ”
At this time, Wang Xian had already counted the silver tickets in his hand, obediently, it was 10,000 taels, seeing that this kid was generous, he could make this friend, and he accepted it half-pushed.
Tang Chao saw that he accepted the silver ticket, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he thought depressedly, ***, look at your sour and mean appearance, I don't know how many court officials who have just taken office have been blackmailed by you, and wait for me to stand on my feet, and then settle accounts with you kid!
Hmph, you are just a petty official of the fourth grade, and you actually came to blackmail me, the waiter of the Yellow Gate of the third grade, and you will feel good in the future!
The Tang Dynasty didn't know that Wang Xian was a well-known upright and famous imperial minister during the Tang Dynasty Xuanzong, and even a prime minister like Li Linfu dared to impeach, of course, he was not afraid of the Tang Dynasty that had just taken office.
Wang Xian accepted the silver ticket, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Tang knows current affairs like this, and he has a bright future in the officialdom in the future, Wang Xian is here to wish you success, okay, since Lord Tang looks up to me so much, I, Wang Xian, will not accept your money in vain, hehe, to tell the truth, you just took office, it seems that you come from a small country Nanzhao, right?" ”
"Yes, because of this, I don't understand many places, please give me advice!"
Wang Xian said in an old-fashioned manner: "I dare not give advice, but in some places, you can put forward a suggestion for the adult's reference, for example, Gonggong Gao is the most relied on by the emperor now, since you are the Huangmen squire, on the first day of your tenure, you should visit his old man before the ceremony, and secondly, Li Linfu and Lord Li, you should also go to thank you, I know, you seem to be recommended by him?" ”
"Yes, Lord Xie, do you need to see anyone else?"
Wang Xian smiled: "Haha, for the sake of Lord Tang being so studious, the old man will tell you from the bottom of his heart, all the big officials, you can't lack any of them, you have to go to visit and visit, otherwise, I'm afraid you will be like me, and you will be a royal historian in the old age." ”
"W-what does this mean?" Tang Tang was stunned.
"Hehe, Lord Tang is so cute, okay, let me tell you, I told you not to learn from me, impeaching people everywhere, offending people everywhere, and the result is a bumpy career."
Tang Chao said strangely: "Lord Wang, I don't understand this, the kid looks at Lord Wang's behavior, doesn't he look like a person who will offend people?" ”
Wang Xian laughed: "Lord Tang, you don't have to comfort me, I know my own business, for example, today, I received 10,000 taels of silver from you, you must have a grudge, and you will definitely rectify me if you have power in the future, right?" ”
Tang Chao waved his hand again and again: "Where is it, the kid is sincere." At the same time, he said in his heart, your old boy is right, you will definitely offend a lot of people by doing this.
Wang Xian waved his hand: "Okay, Lord Tang, I believe in you, but to be honest, if I get other people's money like this, others will always feel uncomfortable, and it is naturally not good to say anything in person, not necessarily behind the scenes, hey, but I also have my difficulties, I am an official, and I also need money, otherwise, even this official position, I'm afraid I can't keep it, don't say it, Lord Tang, look at this!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of yellow paper from his bosom, and the paper was full of words the size of flies, but it was full of names, and there were more than ten people.
Before Tang Chao took it, Wang Xian said: "Lord Tang, my names on this are arranged according to the size of power, if you are interested in visiting, you might as well visit them one by one, these sixteen people, all must be seen, if you think it is not enough, the rest, it's not a big deal, you decide for yourself." ”
Tang Dynasty's eyes were fiercely dark, obediently, the meaning of the word "visit", Tang Dynasty had already understood, but the money in his pocket seemed to be too little, and he couldn't help but regret a little, how could he give Wang Xian so much just now, I knew that I would give so many people's gifts, I should save some money, but now I am stretched.
Although he thought so in his heart, how dare he show it on his face: "Lord Xie, thank you so much!" ”
Wang Xian immediately took his leave, and when he left, he just urged him to hurry up and see Gao Lishi. He thought in his heart, this kid can be a waiter of the Yellow Gate at a young age, and it goes without saying that he is rich, so he can receive this 10,000 taels of silver with peace of mind, where did he think that he was so poor.
What to do? Just to see Gao Lishi alone, the 20,000 taels of silver tickets on his body seem to be a little less, but there are also a large number of officials such as Li Linfu, Han Xiu, Gao Xianzhi, Wang Ju, etc., who are either prime ministers or Shangshu or Jiedu envoys who hold great power, and it seems that it is not possible to visit one less person, which can stump him.
