Pingkang Fang, Right Prime Minister's House.

Yang Zhao walked through the courtyard, saw the steward Cangbi, and asked with a smile: "The steward is here to welcome me?"

This attitude seems very affectionate, but it is no longer as respectful as it was a year or two ago.

"Yes." Cang Bipi didn't smile, "Yang Zhongcheng, take off your boots and come with me." ”

Yang Zhao took off his boots and walked onto the corridor, looking left and right along the way. He is about to build a new house in Xuanyangfang, and now he is referring to the pattern of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

It wasn't until he entered the council chamber that he restrained his frivolity and put on a serious and respectful demeanor.

"Xiaguan, please be the right minister."

Li Linfu didn't see him through the screen, with a faint smile on his face, and asked, "What's the matter with Yang Chen?" Going back on his word and interfering in the affairs of Zhongshu Province, Xu is this has been too amiable recently?

Yang Zhao's heart sank, and he realized that he had been a little crazy recently.

Since the crown prince's military power was taken away, it has been some time since Suo Douji has attacked his political opponents...... Because there are really no political enemies in the court who can threaten him.

Today's question is almost like asking, "Do you want to take the lead?" ”

Remember https://m in a second.

"The right phase is misunderstood." Yang Zhao hurriedly said: "This matter is indeed not something that my brother wants to participate in Zhongshu Province, it is really ...... Xue Bai requested, and besides, it was difficult to disobey the holy will. ”

"The saint doesn't ask about state affairs, if he wants to appoint Xue Bai as the school secretary, he will show his true appearance."

"Maybe." Yang Zhao is no longer what it used to be, his eyes rolled, and he opened his mouth and said, "The sage has signaled the right phase?"

Li Linfu was silent for a moment when he heard this.

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "At the imperial banquet of Ziyun Tower, Eleven Niang and others are also there, the sage has said several times that he wants to talk about opera with Xue Bai, how can he be released from Beijing?" Brother promises, only this once, next time I will never go back to the Chinese book to save the documents approved by the right minister! ”

This attitude is still good, and it softens quickly. The most important thing is that Yang Zhao's appearance really makes Li Linfu look down on him.

This is not Wei Jian, Lu Xuan, Han Chaozong, Li Shizhi, Li Qiwu, Wang Zhongsi, Pei Kuan, etc., who have good fame and talent and may threaten the phase. The brothers of the Yang family, one is a spit pot, and the other is a mediocre and weak medicine jar, but the saint is tall and high.

"National affairs must not be changed without authorization." Li Linfu said in a deep voice: "Don't let the original appearance see that there is a next time." ”

"Don't dare!

Only then did Li Linfu wave Yang Zhao away.

Cang Bi immediately came in and said in a low voice: "Ah Lang, since the spit pot became the middle of the imperial history and the middle of the Duzhi Lang, it has been a little too rampant. ”

"I don't have a lot of ability, and I don't think I have a low self-esteem."

With this contrast, Xue Bai looked less crazy......

Xue Bai used to be humble, and when he came to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he never flattered, neither humble nor arrogant, but more than a year has passed, and now he has walked through the corridor of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and he still has the same attitude.

"The shaft is so calculating, since he has won the school secretary, what are you going to do?"

"I have to give an explanation to the right minister, so as not to blame the uncle of the right side." Xue Bai said: "It was I who invited Uncle Guo to Zhongshu Province in advance, so as not to be released from Beijing, these are all state affairs, I should not bother with the Holy Listen as before, so I specially said it." ”

"What can you say if you dare to go against your true nature?

"I dedicated the opera, and with the mind of the right minister, I should not be angry with me because of a small official position."

Cang Bi was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and secretly thought that Xue Bai dared to mock Ah Lang like this, he was really not afraid of death.

Unexpectedly, Li Linfu really had the mind to allow for the change of the official position of the next nine grades.

"I can't marry a vacant son, and I won't marry the daughter of a family of gate lords, because I already have someone I want to marry." Xue Bai said, "I'm not afraid of offending the world's families, making bamboo paper, printing annotations, leading the Hanmen to raise their sons to make trouble, and refusing to win over the big surname...... I dare to be a lonely minister, but I don't know if the right minister can tolerate me?

Li Linfu said in a cold voice: "You should have a way not to anger me. ”

"I'm looking up to you, get out."

"Thank you, farewell."

Xue Bai came today to put on an official attitude.

is about to enter the officialdom, and it is still in this high-profile situation, so what are his principles, where is the bottom line, what can be compromised and what cannot, must be laid out from the beginning.

He is hard, stubborn, sympathetic to the poor, does not want to be manipulated by others, in addition to unscrupulous means, the Tang Dynasty is not completely intolerant of these characteristics, what is more terrible is that today compromises, tomorrow and then change, today accepts the benefits of the high-ranking families, tomorrow but does not help them do things.

First to show the attitude, this is the first difficult and then easy approach, the world is rarely tough, such as Zhang Po, Yang Wei, have never fought when the fate was first decided.

In short, Xue Bai angered Li Linfu, appeased Li Linfu, and then showed that he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't go far, so Li Linfu let him fend for himself.

In fact, once it is proved that he is not the son of Xue Rust, he has no conflict of interest with Li Linfu, and getting the word "roll" is a good result.

However.

"Xue Bai!

Before he left the right minister's mansion, a call sounded behind him.

Xue Bai turned around to look, only to see Li Xiu running in a hurry, regardless of it, he grabbed him by the collar.

"Hugh, my grandfather can't see your mind!" Li Xiu said: "I advise you to think about it carefully, if you don't want to be the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what do we keep you to do?!" ”

Letting go of the cruel words, Li Xiu pushed Xue Bai and went straight away.

Xue Bai glanced at the lintel of the right prime minister's mansion again, shook his head, and went to the longevity workshop to help the master move.

Moving is not a simple matter, he helped for three days in a row, and recognized the door of the Yan family's house in Dunhuafang, and he was familiar with everyone in the Yan family.

As soon as all the items were placed, Wei Yun beckoned Xue Bai to advise him.

"Are you going to the secretary tomorrow?

"Yes.

"You don't have anyone at home to help you, when the clothes for the official uniform are given, you will bring it over, and the master will sew the official robe for you."

"So I'm afraid that I'm too tired of my master?"

"Don't bother." Wei Yun glanced at Yan Yan, then turned his gaze back and said, "When your teacher first got the school scholar, I had already married him, and at that time, he brought back eight pieces of clothing and asked me to sew official robes for him. ”

Xue Bai originally wanted to say, "I haven't gotten married yet, but fortunately I have the help of my master" Yunyun, he has always been very good at talking, but the strange thing is that he can't say it today.

It should be because of being glared at by Yan Yan a few times.

The sun is setting, and the spring twilight is sprinkled in the quaint house, which is peaceful.

Yan Yan walked through the corridor, glanced around, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know how to do needlework...... It's clear that Qinglan is very good at doing it. ”

The next day, the secretary of the province.

The secretary province is located in the southwest corner of the imperial city, not far from the cross street of the imperial city, facing the street to the north is Sinong Temple, and to the south is the imperial history platform.

This is responsible for the management and canonization of the scriptures, in short, the library of the Tang Dynasty.

When Xue Bai arrived at the Secretary Province, he looked around, and compared to the bustle of the Yushitai in the south, the Secretary Province seemed much quieter. There are no guards at the gate, only a gatehouse, and two handymen are cleaning the courtyard.

He stepped forward and said goodbye, and the porter politely said, "Wait a minute, the school clerk," and ran in, and after a while a young man in his early twenties came out.

"I have heard the name of Xue Zhuangyuan for a long time, and I will finally see each other today. Student Liu Taizhen, the word Zhongshi, is a disciple of Xiao Fuzi, and proofreads books with the teacher in the secretary province, please. ”

Mr. Wen Yuan is Xiao Yingshi, who is as famous as Li Hua, and is also one of Yan Zhenqing's genius friends, Xue Bai has met once.

Xiao Yingshi was nineteen years old, started as a secretary of the provincial orthography, moved to Jixian School, and now has moved to the secretary Lang from the sixth grade, which is Xue Bai's official.

Liu Taizhen is handsome, looks a little shy, but talks a lot, and introduces Xue Bai while leading him inward.

"During the Sui Dynasty, the secretary province was here, and there were more than 80,000 books, which were damaged by the war when the Tang Dynasty took over. In the fifth year of Gaozu Wude, Linghu Decai served as the secretary, and purchased and increased the number of people to copy the scrolls by hand; After that, Wei Wenzhen served as the secretary and supervisor to survey ancient books.......

"The secretary province was once renamed 'Lantai', the secretary was called 'Lantai Taishi', the secretary was called 'Lantai Shilang', and the secretary was called 'Lantai Doctor'. In the past, the Bureau of Writings and the Bureau of Taishi were attached to the Ministry of Secretaries, and were in charge of the revision of national history and astronomical calendars, which were very powerful

But in the first year of Kaiyuan, only the position of being in charge of the library remained, and it became the Qingshui Yamen, which was clear but not expensive. At one time, even the official corridor was occupied by the imperial history platform and the secretary province was almost in name only here liu taizhen glanced at xue bai as if he wanted to see if this school secretary was

I just want to borrow the school scrivener as a pedal for promotion.

Xue Bai's face did not change, and he still had a calm and elegant attitude.

Liu Taizhen then smiled and said: "However, in the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the sage ordered the revision of the book, and ordered more than 20 scholars and famous Confucians to revise and compile huge periodicals such as "Four Records of the Group of Books" and "Ancient and Modern Books", and the secretary province can be said to have come back to life. After that, he served as the secretary and supervisor, so that this period flourished again!

With that, he took Xue Bai through a courtyard gate and raised his hand to point.

In front of it is a very open official courtyard, there are many people are busy, papermaking, pen making, paper cutting, sewing books, a lively scene, the courtyard is filled with a smell of bamboo paper and ink mixture.

"Ten paper cooks, ten decorators, six pen makers, and twenty craftsmen."

Liu Taizhen introduced Xue Bai like this, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, guess who this is?" ”

"Champion Lang is here!"

An old craftsman who was making brushes turned his head to look, immediately stopped what he was doing, and grinned: "The champion who made bamboo paper is here!" ”

The ten decomers immediately put down the utensils in their hands and cheered.

"Hahaha, Xue Lang should be here the most! Look at the bamboo paper we made! ”

"Old man, let me tell you, the bamboo paper made by Xue Lang, the bamboo is running fast, and it is inexhaustible hahaha."

Suddenly seeing this scene, Xue Bai was a little surprised, and he didn't even know how to deal with the enthusiasm of these people.

Before he joined the office, he thought that the Tang Dynasty had always been intriguing.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of entering the office, the first craftsmen I saw who didn't even have official bodies were actually working diligently.

Not only are they diligent, but it can be seen from the sincere smiles on their faces that they sincerely hope that the price of paper will be lower, and that there will be more books in the world.

Passing through the courtyard where the craftsman was, Liu Taizhen took Xue Bai through a long corridor.

In front of me was a large hall, much larger than the hall on the side.

Xue Bai walked to the door and looked inside, only to see that there were probably hundreds of bookcases inside, and there were people sitting behind each bookcase, copying books.

"There are six pavilion chiefs, eight palms, and eighty regular calligraphers!" Liu Taizhen felt proud every time he saw this scene, and muttered: "This is the Tang Dynasty Secretary Province, the Book Copying Hall." ”

After this, he was silent.

The wind blew through the treetops, the surroundings were quiet, and Xue Bai heard the sound of "rustling" copying books.

The sound of writing on paper with a brush should be very light, but the simultaneous writing of eighty regular script hands still converges into the sound of Wenhua inheritance.

"Rustle.....

Xue Bai was suddenly a little happy, and the first voice he heard after stepping into the official career was this, "Zhong Shi, where are you taking Xue Lang?"

Leaving the copy hall, he walked a little way to the official corridor, and in front of him, an old man in a purple robe suddenly called Liu Taizhen under the eaves.

Liu Taizhen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Back to Supervisor Chen, I was about to take Xue Lang to see the teacher." ”

Liu Taizhen hesitated slightly, so she had to retreat.

The workers' market is the name of Yun'er.

"The old man and Xue Lang are old friends, just come to guide him, you can go yourself."

At this time, the old man in the purple robe standing there was none other than Chen Xilie, who was the left minister of the current dynasty, the prince of Yingchuan County, a scholar of Chongxuanguan, and a secretary of the Ministry of Officials, a secretary and a young eunuch, and a secretary of the provincial library.

Xue Bai was not surprised.

He has inquired, and the current secretary and supervisor is Li Huang, the grandson of Tang Gaozong and the son of Li Sujie, King Xu. Chen Xilie, the secretary and young eunuch, is in charge of books, and he is one of the few authorities in this leftist minister.

"I've seen the left phase.

"Come, it's the first time I've come to the secretary province, and the old man will show you."

Chen Xilie stroked his beard and smiled, led Xue Bai inside, and said: "The secretary is not expensive, only cares about books, but there are many scholars who flock to him, do you know why?" ”

"Books are the most important thing for the benefit of all generations."

"You, do you know how many ministers this secretary has saved?" Chen Xilie said: "Linghu Decai, Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan, Yan Shigu, Ma Huaisu, He Zhizhang....... and Zhang Jiuling, like you, started with the school secretary as the official, and the official was the ruler. ”

As he spoke, he patted Xue Bai lightly on the back and said, "This place once sank, and was even bullied by the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the old man led the secretary province with the left minister, just to revive the prestige of Lantai!" Now that you have entered this door, you must work hard to add another minister to the secretary province in the future. ”

"I hope to live up to the high expectations of the left minister." Xue Bai replied casually.

They are all rolling on the power field, and they tacitly did not mention the previous discord, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Walking into the middle hall of the official corridor, some of the officials of the secretary province had already been recruited by Chen Xilie to introduce Xue Bai.

"Secretary Cheng, Jiang Gong will be clear, and the words will be bright.

Jiang Jiang will be over sixty years old next year, he has a generous face, his forehead is full of wrinkles, he looks very kind, and his temperament is completely an old pedant, and he should get along without the deceit of officialdom.

There are four secretaries, among them, Xiao Yingshi is an acquaintance of Xue Bai.

Later, he was introduced to a short official in his fifties.

"Secretary Lang, Chao Heng, a native of Dongying, was originally named ...... Abe Zhongmaru, because of the wind of the Tang Dynasty, refused to leave, hahaha. ”

"Xue Lang's name, I've admired it for a long time." Chao Heng was very enthusiastic, although his official position was high, his face was full of smiles when he greeted Xue Bai, "Mr. Maha is also my friend, I often hear him tell his story." ”

Xue Bai's reaction was very flat, and he responded politely.

He knew that Chao Heng was not a bad person, but he didn't like Dongying people.

After that, it was time to release the materials and some trivial matters, Chen Xilie didn't have a frame at all, these were arranged personally.

Xue Bai is a nine-rank official, the clothes are cyan, and the undershirt and pants are made of white fabric, as well as a pair of official boots, a hairpin, a banner, and a wooden wat board.

"You must know that not every official has given clothing, this is the grace of the saint to you." Chen Xilie explained again.

Xue Bai received it, turned to the direction of Miyagi, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

Chen Xilie nodded with satisfaction and said: "You see, if an official wants to gather the four seasons clothes, he needs ten pieces of silk cloth, and now a horse of silk costs four hundred and eighty yuan, and the clothes alone cost five thousand yuan, and the whole line is more than five times, plus the line next to him, if there is no grace of the saint, how can a poor man buy it?"

"What the left minister said is very true."

"Therefore, you have to have a well-meaning family to help the poor, but you take them to make trouble, isn't it chilling?

Xue Bai understood that Chen Xilie had no other means, so he planned to "turn the spring breeze into rain" like this

Influence him, anyway, this left minister has idle time.

"Dare to ask Zuo Xiang, how much is my Yulu?"

"The old man will take you to get it at that time, if I remember correctly, the school scrivener's January rice is converted into coins, according to the price of grain today....... it should be 1,897 yuan, you only have this official position?

"Yes, there is only one official position."

Yu Lu didn't even have two cos, and it cost hundreds of yuan just to get this official position, which shows that it is difficult for this Tang officialdom to seek an official position.

Others are not like Xue Bai who can invent stir-fried vegetables and bamboo paper, and I don't know what he lives on.

After explaining everything, Chen Xilie finally said: "Wait until next month, and you can come to the official business."

"Next month?

"If you're busy, just wait until the next ten days.

"Zuo Xiang rest assured." Xue Bai said: "I'm not busy, I can come tomorrow to see things." ”

"What's the hurry? The official uniforms were not cut. ”

Xue Bai said: "Contributing to the country, how can it be delayed because of improper clothes?" ”

Chen Xilie was speechless for a while, so he had to stroke his beard and said: "Young enthusiasm is a good thing, if you can handle the family affairs properly first, it will be better." ”

Before the time of feeding, the officials of the secretary province were already eating in the side hall.

The dishes that will be eaten are very rich, and they are the same specifications as the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Officials, and there are meat and vegetables, which is very amazing. This is the benefit brought by the secretary province led by the left minister, and after the officials sat for a while, they went down to their offices and returned home, looking quite idle.

Xue Bai wanted to stay a little longer to communicate with the papermakers, but he had to go to Yan's house first to send the clothes over, so he had to go to the office early on the first day.

The drum beat in the imperial city sounded, and he walked in the sun with his clothes in his arms, and looked back at the majestic government office, thinking that he should bring a little change to this idle secretarial province
