Chapter 224: Wait for the monarch not to come

When he heard that Yan Wenqing had come to inquire about the gods of the mountains and rivers, his eyes were slightly surprised.

Usually, the officials of the Zhaoshen Division rarely deal with officials from other departments of the imperial court, and those guys from the three provinces and six departments will not run here without anything.

As for the Hanlin Academy, it was completely a place where the scholars of the Fusang Dynasty were gilded, and almost every scholar who ranked among the top in the palace examination regarded the position of compiling and editing the Hanlin Academy as a stepping stone to a higher place in the court.

The people of the Hanlin Academy will not run to the Zhaoshen Division.

Therefore, if you don't count the time that the officials of the Zhao Shen Division get along with each other on weekdays, then the time they spend dealing with the gods of mountains and rivers is far more than the time they spend dealing with people.

Because of this, the so-called officialdom rules in secular dynasties and countries are useless when they are brought to the Zhaoshen Division.

People are sophisticated, officialdom rules, in the Zhaoshen Division are meaningless, the secular dynasty almost all of the Zhaoshen Division is independent of that set of officialdom order, except for the only one of the Zhaoshen Division, the official residence of the second grade, other Zhaoshen Department officials, in fact, the highest is the fifth rank official.

But as long as he bears the name of the edict gods, it is not an exaggeration to say that a country is rampant.

There is no shortage of officials who have sharpened their heads and want to drill into the edict gods, but the imperial court has adopted the most confidential way to select officials for official positions such as the edict envoys, deputy envoys, mountain and water temple superintendents, and landscape god supervision.

Therefore, the Zhaoshen Division has always been the department with the least travel pool.

After a while, the scholar who changed into an official uniform and had a new temperament slowly walked into the side hall of the Zhaoshen Division.

The edict envoy looked at Yan Wenqing with a smile, the two officials saw each other, and out of courtesy, both sides saluted each other almost at the same time.

The envoy stood up from the main seat, bowed slightly to the other party, and said, "Lord Yan." ”

Yan Wenqing was sincerely frightened, lowered his body, saluted the man and said: "The lower officials dare not pretend to be adults in front of Lord Gongsun, and Lord Gongsun can call Wenqing by his name." ”

Gongsun Li smiled and stretched out a hand to him, motioning for the other party to sit down.

Yan Wenqing chose the seat closest to the door, sat down slowly, and straightened up.

This hall is usually used to receive guests, relatives and friends, and to chat, if you want to talk about business, Gongsun Li should invite yourself into the main hall.

Yan Wenqing was quick to think, and he could see at a glance that it was most likely that this Gongsun didn't want to talk about business today, so he invited himself to the side hall.

I know that most of this trip will be fruitless, but since the master has clearly expressed the attitude of "not talking about business", he, a six-rank official, can't order the second-grade edict envoy to have a strong chat with him, right?

Therefore, after this champion sat down, he did not speak for the first time, but just brewed words in his heart, thinking about what to talk about, and then it was "idle talk".

Seeing that this person was seated and did not speak, he only reminded the other party with a smile when he was alienated from him: "Wen Qing, please use tea." ”

No longer being called an adult, Yan Wenqing suddenly felt relieved and much happier.

He turned his head and smiled at Gongsun Li on the throne and said, "Okay." ”

Yan Wenqing gently untied the tea lid, smelled the fragrance and tasted the tea, and the thoughts in her heart were like flowing water.

Gongsun Li can see it now. Obviously, our champion Lang has just entered the officialdom, so he is always walking on thin ice, and he feels that he calls him to the side hall, but he doesn't plan to talk about business.

In fact, Gongsun Li didn't mean this at all. It's just that the officials of the Zhaoshen Division have never been accustomed to the set of rules of officialdom, so they don't have so many overt and secret subtexts in their actions, and they just do things according to their preferences.

Compared with listening to people chattering, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and then slowly cutting into the topic, he prefers the guests to get straight to the point, and the two sides talk about things directly, and if they can do it, they can't do it.

This is Gongsun Li's principle of doing things.

He smiled at the moment: "Wen Qing doesn't have to be so restrained, ha, I think your new official may not know much about Luojing, the so-called officialdom rules of the three provinces and six ministries are actually useless in the Zhaoshen Division." ”

Yan Wenqing immediately put down the teacup, got up and saluted the envoy of the Imperial Priest and said, "The lower officials are ignorant, let Lord Gongsun laugh." ”

"It doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way. Gongsun Li followed and got up, stretched out a hand, pressed it twice, and motioned for the other party to sit down. Yan Wenqing sat down slowly, but he was still sitting on pins and needles.

The young man is thin-skinned, and his face turns red when he encounters a little trouble.

Gongsun Li looked at his appearance and remembered how he looked when he first entered the officialdom when he was young, what is the difference between him and Yan Wenqing today?

"Ha, if you want to sail a 10,000-year-old ship above the court, you just can't lose your treading on thin ice. I'm just saying that you don't have to be so reserved at the Imperial Division. You don't feel like you're doing anything wrong, there's no such thing. The edict envoy treated him kindly, which immediately made the champion feel a lot better, and he bowed slightly at the man again, without saying much.

The man on the throne shook his head with a smile, and asked in an "anti-guest" manner: "I heard that Wen Qing came to me this time about sealing the gods of mountains and rivers?"

"Exactly. The young man said, "Earlier, Xia Guan had been to almost all the bookstores in Luojing, but he had never found a book explaining the matter of sealing the gods and goddesses of the mountains and rivers. ”

What such a big thing is to seal the gods and goddesses of a country, how can it be printed by the world without authorization?

Even in Luojing, which is the land of Gyeonggi, the city is still mixed, and those who come from outside the territory have many spies who lurk in Beijing to spy on intelligence all year round.

If you give these people with bad intentions a detailed explanation book of the gods and goddesses, wouldn't they be lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot?

It's just that the young champion in front of him is simple-minded, and naturally he can't get involved with the spies of the enemy country, so Gongsun Li didn't speculate in that direction, let alone mention the matter in front of Yan Wenqing, but planned to find an excuse to bury the real reason why the Fusang Dynasty did not make the details of the Fengshan and Shui gods public.

He just nodded and smiled: "Indeed, I Fusang is a big country, there are so many places in the shape of mountains and rivers, and many new local gods and goddesses will be added every year, except for the 'three mountains and five mountains' in a country, which is almost determined to die forever, some small places, even if it is a remote place, many officials of our Zhao Shen Division have personally gone to the place to observe the mountains and rivers, demolish the obscene shrines, and supervise the construction of landscape temples." It is constantly changing at any time, and the amount of work is large, and when a few pages of paper are printed, the imperial court simply does not plan to print these detailed rules. ”

Yan Wenqing nodded, thoughtful.

Gongsun Li immediately said: "But since you came to the Zhaoshen Division for this trip, I will definitely not let you run in vain, after all, it is our champion, who dares not to give you face, ha." ”

He made a joke, which made Yan Wenqing a little embarrassed.

Lord Gongsun laughedΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The lower officials were ashamed. Yan Wenqing wiped the sweat from his forehead.

People say that he is not informal, but if he is really informal, I am afraid that he will be criticized.

This matter is like a human relationship, giving gifts and receiving gifts. Of course, the person receiving the gift can laugh and say that there is no need to bother, but if the person who gives the gift really does not give it in the future, it will be difficult to continue the incense. But if the giver keeps giving, even if the recipient never accepts the gift, he can still feel the heart of the giver.

Then again, it's really an iron-clad relationship, but there is no need to pay attention to these false courtesies.

Maybe two old friends, they haven't seen each other for several years, and they are everywhere.

Suddenly, once I know that the other party is in danger, I am afraid that he will go to the rescue without hesitation.

However, in a lifetime, how many best friends can there be in such an iron-clad relationship?

Can 10% of 10 friends?

Ninety percent of the relationship still needs to be maintained by incense, otherwise after a long time, the distance is far away, and the age is older, the friends who once had nothing to talk about may gradually drift away and become bookless.

Greeting the cold may not be very useful, and it must not be good to greet you for a long time.

Yan Wenqing said: "If Lord Gongsun is willing to solve the doubts of the lower officials, Wenqing must remember this kindness." ”

"It's serious, it's serious, ha. He smiled and asked, "It's just a trivial matter to tell you this, but before I speak, I also want to ask Wen Qing, why are you interested in this matter, is it possible, you also want to use the position compiled by the Hanlin Academy as a springboard, so that I will be the superintendent of the Shanshui Ancestral Temple in the future?"

This is really straight to the point.

In other words, Gongsun Li's words were no longer straight to the point, but opened the door, and the two stood directly on the mountain to chat.

There is no more direct and effective way to communicate.

Yan Wenqing shook his head and said that this is not the case, he told his true thoughts truthfully, and when he left his hometown and entered Beijing to take the exam, he was waiting for Junshan to walk on the night road, and was told to Gongsun Li about gathering fire with spiritual power to illuminate the road ahead.

The latter listened and nodded lightly from time to time, without interjecting to interrupt Zhuangyuanlang's words.

In the end, Gongsun Li did not beat around the bush, but gave a straightforward reply: "Ha, I see, I already know." According to your meaning, you want to build an orthodox mountain temple for the little fox who gave you a ride?"

Yan Wenqing got up and said deeply to the envoy of the edict gods: "The lower officials don't dare to act on their behalf, and this time they came just to understand the rules of the gods and rivers of Fusang, and they don't dare to bother Lord Gongsun." ”

"You're a ...... It is said that there is no need to be restrained, just understanding the rules is a fart, we guys who hold the court money, we have to do something practical. ”

Gongsun Li suddenly burst into a foul mouth.

The envoy sat on the throne, pinching his chin in one hand and thinking thoughtfully.

After pondering for a while, Gongsun Gongsun Li smiled and said, "If you inherit the love of others, you naturally have to return it to others." You go back first, and I'll take care of it." ”

When Yan Wenqing heard this, he didn't dare to ask anything, only said that no matter whether the matter could be fulfilled or not, he had thanked Lord Gongsun.

When the champion Lang left the Zhaoshen Division, Gongsun Li casually picked up a cloak from the chair, draped it on his body, walked out of the side hall, and casually summoned a mountain and water temple superintendent.

The envoy of the Fusang Dynasty Edict smiled and said, "Accompany me on a trip to Wait for Jun Mountain." ”
