The warrior Xun returned to the household department and first went to see Su Dan.
In the winter, other departments are preparing to take a break, but the household department must not take it easy. It is carrying out various finishing works and preparing for some things next year. It is still busy up and down.
The warrior Xun brought back some tasks from the province, which gave Su Dan a headache, but he had to do it.
So he called the other two ministers over to discuss it together. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together.
Zhang Xingcheng took office last year, Zhang Gongjin took office this year, and with the addition of a samurai, the three ministers of the household department are actually among the newcomers.
It’s just that Zhang Xingcheng was highly recommended by Su Dan.
A native of Hebei, he was born in the Zhang family of Zhongshan, and was a descendant of Wang Shichong. He once served as the Minister of Duzhi in the State of Zheng, and after he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he served as the imperial censor. Su Yuanzai probably recommended him because of his lack of talent.
Zhang Gongjin was young and was also a descendant of the Zheng Kingdom, but his official qualifications were better than Zhang Xingcheng's.
He surrendered early and first served as Cangliao of Jiangjun, traveling between Jin and Luoyang, transporting grain and grass to Luoyang, and then leading some people to Jin, similar to Ren Yazi.
Later, I don't know how fortune turned, and I relied on Li Wu, the general manager of Liangzhou, and went to Liangzhou to become the Liangzhou Sima and join the army, and he became prosperous.
Last year he returned to Beijing to report on his duties as a doctor in the household department, and this year he was promoted to a minister in the household department. His promotion was so fast that it was astonishing.
Both Zhang Xingcheng and Zhang Gongjin were men capable of both civil and military affairs. Typical products of the pre-Sui Dynasty, they both rushed to serve as generals or prime ministers.
Looking at these two people, Samurai Yu could only feel ashamed in his heart.
…………
A few people gathered together and discussed for a long time. When it was time for dinner, Su Dan planned to invite some ministers to his home for another discussion.
At the end of the year, officials are free and it is time for officials to interact with each other and communicate with each other.
It's just that the three ministers didn't show much respect. As soon as Su Dan showed some interest, Zhang Gongjin tactfully said that he had an invitation tonight and had to go ahead.
The warrior Xun was also full of lawsuits and took the opportunity to leave.
Zhang Xingcheng has now become a disciple of Su Dan, and he has nothing to say. After the two of them left, he told Su Dan that Kong Yingda from the Imperial Academy invited him to talk, probably to talk about academic affairs.
He was not the only one who made the invitation. Zhang Xingcheng wanted to hear it.
This made Su Quan very envious. The martial arts Su family was famous for their good calculations and was one of the great figures in the world. However, although they always claimed to be a scholarly family, they lacked this kind of literary spirit.
There is no way, generations of people have been in charge of money bags, and they are tainted with the smell of copper, so they are naturally alienated by people in the literary world.
Zhang Xingcheng is different.
He studied under Liu Xuan, a famous Hejian scholar. Both Liu Xuan and Liu Zhuo were from the Liu family in Hejian, and they were also called Er Liu. They had students all over Hebei.
Liu Xuan died tragically. When the war broke out, Liu Xuan rushed back to Hejian County, but was trapped in the county town with no food and clothing. He only managed to survive by relying on charity from some of his disciples.
It is said that at that time, there was only one table left in the place where he stayed. He was only a hundred miles away from his wife and children in Jingcheng, but could not see each other. His situation was extremely miserable.
After Wang Cong surrendered Dou Jiande and the war gradually stopped, Liu Xuan left the city.
When he was over sixty years old and returned to his hometown Jingcheng after all the hard work, he was already suffering from hunger and cold. However, because some of his disciples were thieves, the disaster was serious in Jingcheng. The officials of Jingcheng closed the city gate tightly.
Don't let him in.
He was so far away from his family but felt like they were at the end of the world. Liu Xuan cried loudly under the city, refused to patrol, and eventually starved to death outside Jingcheng City.
This was a great Confucian who was as famous as Liu Zhuo. He wrote a lot, and his output was no less than that of Liu Zhuo. However, his end was so miserable that reading about it is enough to make one's hair stand on end.
As a disciple of Liu Xuan, Zhang Xingcheng was also one of the thieves, but he was indeed a member of the literary world.
Kong Yingda studied under Liu Zhuo, and he and Zhang Xingcheng were both township party members and fellow disciples. It was reasonable for Kong Yingda to invite him to the gathering.
…………
The aroma of tea was still there, but the room was empty after people left. Su Dan kept smiling bitterly.
He likes to surround himself with friends and live a life full of stars, but he has been tightly restrained by the emperor these years, so he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
At this time, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his subordinates were colorless and running away one after another.
In fact, he really wanted to follow Zhang Xingcheng to have a look, but he didn't invite him...
Su Dan was depressed, but he thought of his two former subordinates.
Duan Lun was originally trying to find a way out, but he didn't get what he wanted. He somehow ran away to the Shaofu to help Wei Jie.
Dou Guangda "rebelled" from the Ministry of Revenue, started anew, and rebuilt Sinong Temple.
Speaking of which, these two people are the same as Su Yuanzai. They are serious and powerful people, and they don't care about the things of scholars.
Thinking of these two people, Su Dan gathered his mood and ordered people to send invitations to them, hoping to invite them to visit the house for a chat.
In the past, everyone was stirring the spoon in the same pot, and stumbling was inevitable. It was not because Su Dan was petty and had to drive people away.
Now that both of them have their own futures and are serving as officials in the court, it is time to repair the relationship between them.
Well, he wouldn't admit that it was because of the neglect from his subordinates that he remembered his old friend.
…………
The warrior Xun got off work, and it was a favorable wind when he left the imperial city, which made him less cold and cold.
When he arrived at the place where his entourage gathered, the attendants were already waiting there. They led him the horse and escorted him all the way out of the imperial city.
When they arrived near the Chengtian Gate, a steward of the family came over in a hurry, saying that the Holy Spirit was coming, and the aunt asked him to go back quickly.
The warrior Xun was a little confused. He checked again and again. He was overjoyed and ordered his people to follow him home quickly. At the same time, he thought about what good things he had at home that he could bring out to entertain the emperor.
But then I became a little suspicious. Is the emperor's visit... really a good thing?
If Li Yuan had been around at that time, it goes without saying that he must have been bored in the palace and came out to relax. But today, why would he come to sit in the home of his warrior Xun?
Thinking of this, Warrior Xun's heart skipped a beat. He remembered the emperor's reputation and immediately pulled the reins of the horse. Shouldn't he go back so quickly?
Of course, this kind of unreasonable thought is just an instinctive reaction. Even if the emperor has a special hobby, he can't be found on the head of his samurai. There are so many people in the capital. If the emperor has the intention, he won't be able to rush to send it.
He is the right warrior.
The guy touched the top of his head and felt relieved. Then he thought about the two little beasts at home. Well, it's impossible. The emperor has so many things to do. How can such a trivial matter be worth the trouble?
The warrior Xun was thinking a lot. He turned around and glared angrily at the steward who came to report the news. He ran out in a hurry without knowing the purpose of the emperor's visit. Damn it.
Are you here to see the second mother in the family? The warrior Yu's mood was up and down, and he could hardly sit still on his horse...
