Chapter 9 Entering the hall to face
.”
Wang Yan said, "Return to the waiting system, I just met you, and have changed your appointment to the third department to serve."
"What?" Xu Ping was about to turn around and leave, but when he heard this, he stopped. "You are going to work in the Sansi? I wonder which official in the Sansi is now?"
"The lower official serves as deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue."
Wang Weizhong was the first boss to work with him in the official career. When he heard that he was a substitute, Xu Ping could not help but ask clearly: "Where will the Deputy Envoy Wang go to serve? I didn't hear that he would be allowed to do his job outside the office-"
"The deputy envoy Wang was promoted to the deputy envoy of Du Branch. The one who wanted to serve outside was Deputy envoy Li, who replaced the Xiaguan as the transfer envoy of Hebei Road."
This series of personnel changes made Xu Ping feel a little dizzy. He himself was just the deputy envoy of the Third Division. No one would ask for his opinions on personnel dispatch of this level. But what is this? Li Hong wanted to be a foreigner, and he had been on a mission to Khitan, and it was just right to go to Hebei Road, but why did Wang Weizheng's position change be? The ranking of the deputy envoy of the Du Branch was before the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, but it was just a court shift, and there was no big difference.
Unable to understand, Xu Ping could not pull Wang Yan in the big room to ask clearly. After saying a few words, he said goodbye and followed Li Zhang to the depths of the palace.
When he arrived outside Yanhe Hall, the small yellow gate had passed, and Xu Ping tidied up his clothes, performed the manners and entered the hall.
The emperor Zhao Zhen sat upright on the top. On one side were two prime ministers, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng, on the other side were Privy Councilor Zhang Shixun, Deputy Commissioner Li Zi and Wang Deyong. Two Hanlin scholars, Yan Shu and Mei Xun, sat in the lower side.
Xu Ping went forward to deliver the ceremony, Zhao Zhen ordered the audience to watch the seat, and the little yellow gate brought tea together.
It was already noon after this. Zhao Zhen and several ministers left the court without eating, so they took this opportunity to fill their stomachs. Xu Ping was not hungry. After so many years in this world, he had become accustomed to eating only two meals during the day.
After eating and drinking, Xiaohuangmen took down the things and started to formally discuss things.
Zhao Zhen said: "Xu Ping, two days ago - you submitted a memorial. When talking about the salt and iron judge Guo Zi checking Tang, Ru and Cai Sanzhou, he carefully explored the geography and felt that it could lead Luo River into the Bian River and seal the Biankou, so as to reduce the mud and sand in the Bian River. I thought about it over and over again and felt that this matter seemed to be feasible. I called you to report it today."
Xu Ping stood up and held the scepter to receive the order. Just as he was about to report the matter, Zhao Zhen said again: "There is another thing. The herds and envoy Mei asked that there are good methods for raising horses in your village. You can use a good male and female to conceive a hundred mares. Horse politics has always been a national plan. If this method is really feasible, it can alleviate the shortcomings of military and horses. Today I will invite you to report the two things together."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen remembered something and ordered the eunuchs around him: "A few days ago, the watermelons grown this year were put in Xu Waijian's farm. Go and get a few of them, and the ministers here will try them together."
The eunuch bowed and took a small yellow gate out of Yanhe Hall.
Xu Ping stood there with a little helplessness in holding the scepter. The emperor was more relaxed when talking to him. He remembered that it was just like he had come out, but it was a bit embarrassing to leave himself here.
Zhao Zhen gave the order, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Ping still standing there, he hurriedly said, "Sit down and talk, this is not the front hall, so you can relax. The ministers here are used to seeing each other on weekdays, so there is no need to be too polite."
Xu Ping thanked him and sat down in the seat. But he felt helpless. The emperor was young and felt that both sides were relaxed and it was conducive to the conversation. The prime minister here may not think so. Especially when he ascended to a high position at a young age, what he did the least think was that people said frivolous and unceremonious courtesy of ministers, which affected not only his reputation, but also his career.
I recommend a book with the same group, "Ming Dynasty 1629", which is a history of the rise and fall of dynasties, and I will see a story about a time traveler who has gone through the late Ming Dynasty from scratch, from childhood to great success.
