Chapter 4 The Legend of Cats and Ghosts (19) - People are not as good as heaven (II)
☆☆☆
Thinking of the "envoy" to be received, Jian Yan sighed helplessly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the hot favorite minister around the Queen Mother, the righteous brother of Lord Silan of the Imperial City, I am afraid that there is no comparison in the palace with this identity, and there are even more rumors outside. Why did the official family name himself as a "firefighting officer"? Since Lan Yuanxiao was asked to supervise the Kaifeng Mansion and rectify the submarine fire army, he should choose an official or general who was familiar with the affairs of the mansion and knew the fire situation to help him in his work.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to go to the prince to discuss. Who knew that the prince sold Guan Zi to make himself think, this is embarrassing...... Although he couldn't figure it out, as a catcher, he keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy!
The heavy rain that fell last night also extinguished the resentment in the hearts of the people of the entire Bianliang City. Jian Yan couldn't help but laugh privately: This envoy is quite effective, the official asked him to supervise the firefighting, and it rained in the eyes of God.
I didn't see anyone come from morning to noon, and I thought it was over. When Jian Yan returned to his house, he took a vacation and enjoyed a rare day of leisure.
At this time, a report came from outside the door: "Lord God Catch!"
His subordinates know their habits, and if they are fine, they will not bother. Jian Shi raised an eyebrow on one side and said, "Come in!"
This Kuaishou explained the situation, and it was the person sent by the palace who arrived. At this time, the people were greeted by Sun Tan, the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, and walked around the house, and after a while, he was invited to the Plum Blossom Hall, and asked Lord Shen to rush over.
Jian Yan jumped lightly, jumped from the rocking chair to the door, and walked out of the Divine Catcher Division quickly.
At the entrance of the mansion, Chris is a big girl on a sedan chair, and she came to Kaifeng Mansion for the first time. When she was active in the capital before, she often heard people talking about Kaifeng Mansion. In the hearts of the people of the capital, the hall of the government is a symbol of justice.
There are fourteen halberds standing at the entrance of Kaifeng Mansion. I heard that in the fourth year of Kaibao, when Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong served as the tenth year of Kaifeng Mansion, Emperor Taizu specially gave fourteen halberds to Kaifeng Mansion in order to commend his younger brother, in order to highlight the prestige of the "Heavenly Mansion" in the capital.
In the teahouses and restaurants in the capital, it is common to hear people talking about the successive governors. In particular, the stories of those who solve cases like gods are talked about by people, and Chris occasionally listens to them, and he also thinks them are wonderful, which makes people have to admire the wit of Lord Fu Yin.
After entering the gate of the mansion and passing through the Yi Gate, a boulder in the courtyard attracted Chris's attention. This is probably what the people call the "ring stone inscription", which is engraved with three big characters on the north and south sides: "Gongsheng Ming, clear and prudent". This boulder is a symbol to warn officials that only by serving the public and being fair can they be discerning, honest and honest, and ultimately serve as an official for one term and benefit one party.
Chris said: It is important to rely on the integrity of officials themselves, but it seems more reliable to establish a more perfect supervision system.
After the boulder is the main hall of Kaifeng Mansion. Looking at the gate of the palace from afar, there is a solemn atmosphere, which is daunting.
"Two adults, please come here!" the man's voice was deep, and his name "Tan" was echoed, which was as thick as a tank.
It was Sun Tan, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, who received Chris.
In order to know himself and his opponent, Chris spent a whole day yesterday reading through the official records of Kaifeng Mansion, and he had seen Sun Tan's name in it. According to the original official quota of Kaifeng Prefecture, there were two magistrates and two judges, but the four of them worked overtime every day, and they were only able to deal with the criminal and prison lawsuits of the left and right military patrol courts. There are also a large number of civil cases that are so numerous that they have become a big problem. Therefore, Fu Yin Shen decided to ask for someone from the imperial court!
It was recorded in that document: "In the third year of Zhiping, Gengyin, the imperial court obeyed the request of Shen Yu of the Zhikaifeng Mansion, and added a member of the judge, with Wailang, a member of the ancestral hall, and Sun Tan, the head of the secret pavilion, to be in charge of the official affairs of the embassy. ”
However, it happened in February last year, and I heard that this year's cases in the courts were handled very properly, and there is no backlog of cases. Chris guessed how one more person could become so efficient? Could it be that this person is very capable? He was recommended by Shen Yu! It can be seen that Shen Yu has a good eye for people!
It was only later that Chris learned that it was not a simple matter to recommend talents to the imperial court in the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty used a system of joint sitting. If the person being referred is ineffective or has made a mistake, the referee will be punished accordingly. And there is no time limit retroactively, once the incident happens, even if many years have passed, the sponsor will be punished. So recommending someone must be a cautious thing!
"My lord?" Sun Tan is a person from Kaifeng, with a Beijing accent, "Today, Lord Yin is busy with official business, but I am afraid that I will not be able to meet with the envoy, so I will be accompanied by the lower officials, please don't blame my lord!"
Chris shook his head, saying it was okay.
In fact, she still wants to meet this Lord Fu Yin. First, he is Shen Kuo's nephew. Although Shen Kuo is his uncle, in fact, Shen Yu is four years older than Shen Kuo, but he is a little younger; secondly, I heard that the reputation of "Qiantang Sanshen" in Hangzhou is well-known, and "Sanshen" refers to Shen Kuo's grandfather Shen Zeng, father Shen Zhou, and uncle Shen Tong.
Shen Kuo and Shen Yu were born in a scholarly family and have a family history. I heard that the Shen family's family style is strict, and the children are diligent and inquisitive. Shen Kuo finished reading all the books in his family at the age of fourteen, and then traveled to Zhou County with his father Shen Zhou. He came into contact with society at such a young age, which not only increased his knowledge, but also broadened his horizons. It was only after Chris became acquainted with him that he knew a wide range of knowledge, and he knew a lot of very advanced scientific knowledge, even beyond his current era. It's a pity that in the Great Song Dynasty, scholars and doctors appreciated "literary brilliance" more, and they had to be able to write inscriptions, poems, and articles, as well as noble conduct and outstanding virtue. Like Shen Kuo, who likes to delve into natural science, he is called "strange and skillful", and he is often ridiculed for not doing his job properly and being a plaything.
As for Shen Yu, he doesn't have as many interests and hobbies as Shen Kuo, he is more focused on his studies and career. In the year of the weak crown, Shen Yu was admitted to the Jinshi, and he was also a high school leader, and was directly appointed by Emperor Renzong as the general judge of Jiangning Mansion.
Shen Yu was the first year of Huangyou, and two years later, in the third year of Huangyou, Shen Kuo's father died, and he became the master of Shuyang County. At that time, Shen Kuo was still young, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with becoming an official without participating in the scientific examination. But after a while, he was often compared with Shen Yu by the elders in the family, and it was just a matter of hearing people ridicule him for not doing his job, and he also said that he couldn't read, and he relied on his father's shadow to get an official, not by his true ability, and he was not as good as his juniors.
