The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

Taichang Temple is the place where the Zhangling Temple is worshipped, responsible for the ritual system, astronomical numbers, and clothing.

The largest government office in the imperial city belongs to Taichang Temple, which covers an area six times the size of the secretary province and is located due south.

When Xue Bai came, he had already changed into a dark blue official robe. He also saw that there was still a monkey embroidered on the placket of the official robe

Child...... The embroidery is a mess, mainly recognized by the golden hoop stick.

He went to the gate and handed over the sign, and then heard the little official laugh and said: "Sure enough, the villain looked at such a young demeanor from a distance, and this official robe, and knew that the champion had finally come." ”

"I'm going to have to bother you to lead the way."

"Don't be so polite, the villain can't afford it. Taichang Temple has eight offices and four courtyards', and the Taile Department is in the northwest corner, adjacent to the Propaganda Department.

"Which department is on the south side?"

"It was the Rite House, independent of the 'Eight Offices and Four Houses'. The Rite House is responsible for the clan name and funeral rites, and is not under the jurisdiction of the temple secretary and the young secretary. ”

"It must be very noble?"

Remember the URL

"Qinggui is abnormal. Of course, the Taile Department is also a noble yamen, Xue Lecheng invited. ”

This is an independent yayuan in Taichang Temple, the environment is much better than the newspaper courtyard, a row of medicine gardens are planted in the courtyard, and there are old people wearing only a spring shirt to take care of herbs in front of the medicine garden.

Xue Bai was admitted to the hospital alone, stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, is Taile Ling here?" ”

"Do you see the old man's portrait?"

Xue Bai immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Liu Gong is funny. ”

"Haha, the old man is too happy to make Liu Ci, the weather is hot, and the official robe will not be worn.

Liu Guan leaned over and sniffed for a while, picked up scissors, cut off a mint leaf, and then lifted the basket and said, "Let's go, go to the hall and talk...... You're finally willing to take care of things. ”

"Forgive me Duke Liu, some time ago, the secretary of the province had a heavy workload."

"I read it, I read both Di Bao and Wen Cui Bao."

Liu Ci said, "The old man has also sent the secretary of the province to compile and repair the book, and he will soon go to repair the book, which is the trouble you found." ”

Xue Bai said: "I am looking for it, it is because Liu Gongbo has a good history." ”

"The old man speaks straight, for which he has not been promoted for many years, and to be honest, I thank you very much. Oh, do you know that when Wang Wei was appointed as Taile Cheng, the old man was Taile Ling? He's just like you, clinging to cronyism, but both have real talent. ”

"Misunderstandings, rumors, don't take it seriously."

"Why hide it? Lost the truth. Liu rested for a while, got up and said, "Come, the old man will show you ........"

The Department is in charge of rituals and music for sacrifices, court meetings, feasts, and the teaching of music and work. Under you and me, there are eight officials Lezheng, from the ninth grade, there are eight wardens and palms, and one hundred and forty musicians and dancers. ”

The two walked through the long corridor, but they didn't hear any music along the way.

Xue Bai couldn't help asking, "Taile Department looks a little quiet?" ”

"It's gone, it's in the hands of the old man." Liu Ci sighed: "This matter is a long story, but fortunately, you and I have idle time, and the old man will talk to you slowly."

This old man, like Wang Changling, likes to slander the king, no wonder he joined the government at a young age, and he still can't be promoted.

"When the saint was in the dive house, there was a loose music group, which is now the teaching workshop. also contributed to Dai Dingwu Zhou's demonic atmosphere. After the saint ascended the throne, he believed in the church. At that time, wherever there was dance music, the Taile Department and the teaching workshop could also perform at the same time, which was called a hot play. There was a hot scene, both sides tried their best, and the fight was a little too fierce, it was thirty years ago, the old man had just entered the door, and Ren Lezheng was ......"

In the second year of Kaiyuan, the teaching team was still the most favored group of people when Li Longji was the prince, and the hot scene began with acrobatics, and there were musicians shaking empty bamboos on the hundred-foot building.

The Taile Department felt that they always had to compete for a high level, so when they shook the empty bamboo, it was taller than the 100-foot building of the teaching workshop, and there were more people in Taichang Temple, so that the musicians and dancers cheered loudly, and the momentum was huge, and the arrogance of the teaching workshop was suppressed.

"We were so happy that we didn't notice the saint's uncertain face. I was leading the dancers in cheering when I felt a pain in my back. At first, I thought it was a male elk raised in the imperial garden who ran out to top people, but when I turned around, I saw that the eunuchs in the inner chambers had iron horse whips hidden in their sleeves, and they beat me and so on. ”

Xue Bai was surprised and said, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Liu Guan smiled bitterly: "Immediately, we shut up. Later, the pole of the Taile Department broke off. The next day, the sage issued an edict 'Taichang Lisi, it is not suitable to pawn haiyu acrobatics', and dismissed the Taichang Temple musician" From this incident, Xue Bai could see that Li Longji did whatever he wanted when he was young, and even his strength was not as good as it is now. But there are ministers to check and balance this son of heaven in the affairs of the court, and they can only be willful in these court affairs.

Xue Bai felt that it was boring to slander and complain in private, so he said something about the scene and said: "There is still a difference, the sect is in charge of the court ritual music, and the Taile Department is in charge of the sacrifice and the court meeting ritual music." ”

"Yes, sacrifices, court meetings." Liu Yan sighed.

It is indeed very different from the workshop, at least it is much more solemn.

There are both men and women in the musicians and dancers, and there are also a few women in the pawns and palms, which is convenient for management. Basically, they are all people who are old and really good at skills, and there is no such thing as the atmosphere of entertaining people with sex that has gradually risen in the workshop in recent years.

The dances and music used in the rituals were fixed, and they were not needed for court feasts, so there was no need for new dances. There are also Lezheng students who have arranged the teaching and learning of music work, and everything is in order.

What Xue Bai had to do was to arrange music and dance in the sacrifice, which was very relaxed.

After inspecting the Taile Department, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I am very ashamed of this share. ”

Liu Guan was ashamed when he heard Xue Bai say it, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, don't be ashamed, Zhuang Yuanlang has written a lot of poems that can be passed down to the world. I am old, and I can't move.

"Liu Gong rest assured."

"If you have time, you can teach the musicians some music once in a while, and everyone will admire you." Liu Ci said, "But don't learn Wang Wei's yellow lion dance, do more and make more mistakes." ”

Having said that, Xue Bai believed that Wang Wei had offended Princess Yuzhen because he married his wife.

At this time, Youle Gong stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Taile Fujun, Xie Dian is here, I want to see Xue Lang." ”

"Okay, okay, let the young people talk."

There was a person standing in the music hall, dressed as a clerk with a slender posture, and when he turned around, it was Xie Aman.

She was the wife candidate that Yang Yuyao originally selected for Xue Bai.

In the eyes of later generations, the children of Liyuan are musicians and excellent singers, but in today's Tang Dynasty, they are equivalent to the combination of court officials and Taichang Temple music officials. Xie Aman was a disciple of Yang Yuhuan, with a high status, a mansion, and a service in the pear orchard, with a salary slightly higher than that of a five-rank official. Coupled with the reward, she is actually a very wealthy figure in Chang'an City, and Pang Sanniang, Fan Nu and others have the luxury of their lives.

If Xue Bai marries Xie Aman, then the husband and wife will add up to each other, and the nobles of the city will have to pay tribute to them for three points, and the Yanfu in the workshop is also indispensable.

is like Jia Chang and Pan's couple, who are the most lively first-class people in Chang'an City...... Xue Bai probably didn't know how happy the god chicken boy was, so if he didn't do it, he had to be this little official in the green robe.

As soon as Xie Aman looked back, he looked at Xue Bai's eyes with some resentment. It's not that I love it, I just think it's a talented and beautiful boy, but it's a pity that my brain is not very good.

Xue Bai had seen Xie Aman a few times, but they were all far away, and it was the first time that he was looking at him in person from a close distance at this time.

She is good at dancing, so her posture is graceful, her waist twists between turns, her hands swing lightly, her movements are like dancing, her eyes are smart, and her cheeks are slightly red.

If the women he met used flowers as metaphors, they were like peach blossoms, lotus flowers, begonias, Du Juan, and peonies, and Xie Aman was like hibiscus. Hibiscus is not as captivating as a graceful peony, just like a slim little girl.

"Xue Lang can be regarded as a Taile Agency." Xie Aman Wanfu said: "The concubine asked me to urge you to write the drama of "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

"Oh, if something important happens, you can also let me contact the concubine, it will be more convenient for me to enter the palace than Mrs. Qiuguo." Xie Aman said again: "In short, the concubine brought you to Taile Cheng, which is arranged like this...... You write it. ”

"Xie Dianshi doesn't know that I am looking for someone to ghostwrite the drama?"

"I know, talent, only a few pens to write the most beautiful artistic conception, but you also have to have a snack to supervise and revise, so that we can rehearse the play as soon as possible." Xie Aman reminded: "You don't want the concubine to be angry, do you?" ”

This is what Xue Bai really wants to do in Taile Cheng's tenure.

He really didn't want to be like Wang Wei, who ended up being demoted because he didn't know what to do.

To cling to the crony, you must have the consciousness of clinging to the crony.

"Okay." Xue Bai said: "You don't have to worry about the drama, just go through it one last time, let's prepare for the rehearsal of the concubine." ”

Xie Aman couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Can you start rehearsing without a drama?" How to experience that artistic conception. ”

"It's all here."

Xue Bai raised his hand and pointed to his head.

Xie Aman only felt that his brain was not good.

"Xie Dianshi is pretending to be Xiaoqing?" Xue Bai asked.

Xie Aman's eyes lit up and asked, "Does Xue Lang think it's okay?" ”

"Yes. Xu Xian's selection of concubines can be arranged? ”

"Xu Hezi." Xie Aman said: "The concubine has thought about it, and has asked the palace to tailor clothes, and it will be a good day to look good, Yang Yuhuan invited the three sisters to a banquet in the palace, played dominoes, and ate pastries together." ”

Xue Bai's righteous brother was also mentioned in the middle.

The strange thing is that Yang Yuyao, who has the deepest friendship with Xue Bai, just snorted coldly and said lightly: "Speaking of Taile Cheng, I can understand why Princess Yuzhen demoted Wang Wei to Jeju back then. ”

"Yes."

Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "If the third sister annoys him, I will persuade the saint to belittle him tomorrow." ”

"Consider it."

At this time, Xie Aman entered the palace to report a trivial matter.

"Back to the concubine, Xue Lang is measured, and he has arranged ....."

"Really? He's kind of thinking about doing things for me. ”

"He will also cut a few costumes, and then ask the concubine to watch the selection."

"It's hard to get in love, if you put up a shelf again, I really won't spare him."

After that, Yang Yuhuan looked at Yang Yuyao and couldn't help but be curious: "What did the third sister say?" ”

"Tired."

Yang Yuyao was even more unhappy, snorted and got up and left, regardless of whether they were missing one person to play cards.

After leaving the palace and boarding the car, Mingzhu had already sensed that she was in a bad mood, and gently stepped forward to comfort her for a while, and asked, "Yao Niang, what happened?"

"Do you think I'm old?"

"Yao Niang's country is fragrant, and the country is captivating." Mingzhu was puzzled: "Even if you are blind, no one should say such nonsense?" ”

"If it weren't for that, how could Xue Bai be engaged to the daughter of the Yan family without authorization? And she Yang Taizhen, bypassing me and sending someone directly to him, it seems that she is closer to him than me, hum. ”

Mingzhu then understood, so she had to comfort softly: "Yao Niang is not angry anymore, how can she complain about the concubine?" ”

Why don't I dare complain about her? When she was young, I cleaned up the bedwetting for her. I feel great when I become a concubine today, if I reach out to my person tomorrow, I have to give her up?

The pearl didn't dare to say more about the affairs between the sisters, and carefully paid attention to not letting others hear it.

Back in the house, Mingzhu comforted Yang Yuyao in a different way.

With such a good pearl, how about you say I teach him a lesson?

"Yao Niang first dissipated her anger, and then didn't mention the prodigal."

When it was time to tie the rope, a maid said outside the door: "Madam, Xue Lang is visiting." ”

"I didn't see him." Yang Yuyao snorted coldly, "I should let him know what happens if he doesn't know practice." ”

I also have your ability to increase your ability, lean on the Yan family, climb up to the concubine, and it is not rare to come to see me. ”

When she saw Xue Bai in the hall, Yang Yuyao couldn't help but snort coldly, very dissatisfied.

Xue Bai didn't have any rhetoric, only showed her his sincerity.

"What my intentions are, Yu Yao should be able to feel it."

The two moved from the lobby to the boudoir to talk.....

Now it's June, the weather is getting hotter, and as she speaks, Yang Yuyao sweats and pants.

This weather makes people's emotions hotter, and they can't wait to get to Lishan to find a mountain stream and plunge into it.

After a long time, Yang Yuyao let out a long sigh.

During this period of time, Xue Bai ignored her wishes, got engaged without authorization, and contacted Yang Yuhuan directly. She was really unhappy, and she was at the juncture of love and hatred.

After teaching Xue Bai a hard lesson, she finally lost her anger.

After resting, she complained again.

"It's all your fault, it's just that you want to be motivated too much, and you've been making waves."

"It's been too radical lately." Xue Bai explained all kinds of reasons at this time, and said: "You can't solve the troubles in the officialdom, I don't want you to worry about it, so I haven't come over these days." ”

"Actually, I know it all." Yang Yuyao was inexplicably easy to understand him at this time, and said, "That...... As long as the daughter of the Yan family doesn't stop us from dating, it's fine. ”

"Hmm." Xue Bai said: "In a few days, I'm just afraid that I will be released." ”

"What?" Yang Yuyao sat up and said angrily: "Who dares?!" ”

"This is the way officialdom must go, and I have to have this qualification. If it goes well, I'll be back in a year or two. ”

Yang Yuyao was still annoyed, but she knew that Xue Bai was not a man she could control, so she thought about it and said, "Then I will choose a suburban county in Gyeonggi Chang'an for you, and I can often go over to see you." ”

"Okay."

Xue Bai didn't push it back.

He did come to let Yang Yuyao dissipate his anger today, not for this, but he didn't expect her to have this heart and take the initiative to mention this matter.

Yang Yuyao became happy at this time.

Thinking about it later, she still had some expectations.

"Xianyang is the closest, Zhaoying, Liquan, Weinan, Lantian, Juxian, it is convenient for me to find you, if I can find such a position for you, you will have to entertain me well."

"How does the third sister want me to entertain?"

That's all it takes to be today. Yang Yuyao bit her lip and said with a smile: "When you get to that deserted county, you can be full of eyes tied to me, without those goblins." ”

"Okay."

These are all Gyeonggi County on the edge of Jingzhao Mansion, but in her mouth it is just a suburban county, and you must know how many important ministers started from these positions.

For Xue Bai, if he can take this step, any return is worth it, but it is actually difficult.

State affairs are in the hands of Li Linfu, and according to the power of the Yang Party, if you don't go out of the ranks, there are very few methods that can be used; Seeking the Holy Favor is not enough, you can't let the Son of Heaven ask about this trivial matter every time you are promoted, and Li Longji has no intention of letting Xue Bai go out of Beijing to cultivate qualifications.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuyao really gave a solution.

"Do you know where the best is? Zhaoying County, Lishan is two miles southeast of the county, and I have another business in Lishan.

"Huaqing Palace?"

Yang Yuyao said: "Yes, if you are appointed as the captain of Zhaoying, it will be easy for you and me to find a chance to stay, and this is the most likely to face the saint of the county lieutenant of Qi, with your ability, I think you can be transferred back to Chang'an in a year or two." ”

Xue Bai has just begun to understand the various Qi counties, and at this time, he can't help but nod and take Zhaoying County as a choice.

"Is it a good arrangement?"

"Soon the saint will move to the Qingqing Palace, I will find a way to let you accompany you, and then you and I will find an opportunity to seek this official position."

In fact, today Xie Aman said to Xue Bai that Yang Guifei had made proper arrangements, and she would take Xue Bai to Huaqing Palace to rehearse the play, so that he could prepare early...... There is no need to talk to Yang Yuyao about this.

Xue Bai was a little moved, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Yu Yao's arrangement." ”
