People gradually exited the main hall of the King of Han Dynasty, whispering, and gradually dispersed.
This meeting at the Han Palace was actually similar to a court meeting, except that the person sitting there was His Highness the King of Han, not the emperor.
Formal court meetings are divided into major court meetings and small court meetings. For ministers, the large court meeting is actually more about the situation than the process, because the decrees announced at the big court meeting are all things that have been agreed upon at the small court meeting, and generally not
Something changed or something unexpected happened.
If something happens, such as someone jumping up and down at the court meeting, or protesting in court, it can only mean that there is an obvious political accident, and people will die.
In comparison, the Small Court Meeting is much more important. The Emperor will discuss with provincial ministers such as Zhongshu and Shangshu as well as the officials involved. Almost all major events will be resolved at the Small Court Meeting and then announced at the Great Court Meeting.
Of course, everything that happened in the main hall of the Han Dynasty before was similar to the court meeting, but different, because in the hall just now, there was only the voice of the Han Dynasty, and almost everyone else could only listen.
The signs of monopoly of royal power are obvious, and this is also one of the most important characteristics of the princes in troubled times. They are generally heroes who have emerged from the war, and they are definitely different from the emperor.
The three things sounded very concise and concise, and did not take too much time. However, they were so extensive that it was obvious that the ministers would need some time to think about them carefully and digest them.
This is how internal affairs work, and it is not like most people imagine, where so and so gets a memorial, the emperor is overjoyed when he sees it, and immediately issues it, and then everyone praises it, and everyone is happy.
That is the illusion that history books give people, because they only record important events, but simplify the process. The actual situation is that every decree issued by a government agency, regardless of its subsequent evaluation, is the result of the efforts of many people.
the result of.
His Highness the King of Han Dynasty handed down three things. The main purpose is clear, but the details need to be carefully discussed by the ministers before they can be enacted. Before that, everyone participating in the meeting must think about what role they can play in it.
Function, and what benefits can be obtained, which is what people often call the issue of gains and losses.
It is conceivable that soon there will be many more texts submitted to the Zhongshu and the Six Chief Officials' Cases, which contain the talents of the officials and their expectations.
This is officialdom...
And those who have already gone through this process are not at ease either.
For example, Su Dan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, quietly fell behind, and gradually got together with Wen Yanbo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, chatting in low voices, gradually separated from the crowd, and turned towards the alley in the house.
Not far away, a pavilion surrounded by trees appeared in front of them, but someone had already arrived first. Zhongshu ordered Chen Xiaoyi to sit upright on a stone chair, closing his eyes and concentrating.
On the stone table in front of me, fragrant tea was boiling steamingly. Two servants in the palace were carefully tending the tea stove and watching the fire. It was obvious that they had been prepared for it, and they might have ordered others to prepare it in advance.
Su Dan and Wen Yanbo looked at each other and said in unison, Jiang is still hotter.
In fact, it is not surprising. They are all close ministers of the Han Dynasty. Chen Xiaoyi also served as the chief historian of Li Po's mansion. Wen Yanbo also served as Sima and chief historian next to Li Po. Su Dan almost became Sima.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all familiar with the current Han Dynasty's palace, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the palace as having many ears and eyes. As for the temperament, habits, etc. of His Highness the Han Dynasty, they also have their own opinions.
With such convenience, wouldn’t you be a fool if you didn’t use it?
Su Tan was younger and first gave Chen Xiao a compliment, "I have seen Zhongshu before. Zhongshu is elegant and live a good life, which is enviable."
Chen Xiaoyi opened his eyes slightly, returned the gift with his hands, and said with a smile: "I am taking a break from my busy work, and I am waiting for guests. You two have arrived just in time, please take a seat..."
The two of them saluted at the same time and then came forward and sat down. They were polite and elegant. They were the nobles at this time. The etiquette theory has been engraved in their bones. They only answered simple questions.
and movements, making a "accidental" tea party full of a ritual feeling that can be painted.
As the aroma of tea overflowed, Wen Yanbo nodded and praised, "Good tea."
Chen Xiaoyi and Su Dan looked at Wen Dalin with a solemn face and both smiled secretly. Chen Xiaoyi's reputation for good tea had already spread in Jinyang, so the tea he brought out and could be drank in the Hanwang Palace was naturally good tea.
And they all know that Wen Dalin, a native of Jinyang, has a poor background. He has not enjoyed much after years of traveling. It is true that his articles and talents are temporary choices, but when it comes to other things, he has nothing in common with them.
Yes, it's just a good word when drinking tea.
In contrast, Chen Xiaoyi, an old minister of the Eastern Capital with all his family background, age and experience, needless to say, Su Dan came from a wealthy family, and the art of tea and wine was a course that he had to learn since he was a child. Otherwise, how could he have the face to say that he was a martial artist?
Family?
He knew the name of the tea just by smelling it with his nose, and he also knew the properties of the tea, but it was just not convenient for him to reveal it in front of a "bumpkin" like Wen Yanbo at the moment.
The three of them drank two cups in silence, and their bodies became warm. Obviously, this tea is very suitable for drinking in autumn.
Chen Xiaoyi opened his eyebrows, sighed comfortably, and opened the topic, "My lord is quite urgent. Do you two know the reason?"
Wen Yanbo shook his head slightly and said: "Previously, the king led his army to cross the river and march into Henan... But due to the needs of the war, today's meeting was possible?"
Su Dan thought for a while and then said: "It has become a rule to reward merit at the end of the year. Is it possible that the king is doing this because of his military exploits?"
Chen Xiaoyi understood as soon as he heard it. These two people had no idea. They were all guessing. Even if they were reasonable, they could not be accurate. In fact, all three of them knew that the three things Li Po said this time had been mentioned before.
The signs are not too surprising.
But having said that, they have followed Li Po for many years and are very familiar with Li Po's style of doing things. Except for leading troops in battle, they do everything else in a calm and unhurried manner. They never seek immediate success and look at the long term.
, in their words, it means that the Lord has the power of an emperor.
But now they have just returned to Jinyang and haven't seen anyone. After staying in the house for a few days without any news, they have thrown out a few big things and intend to complete them before the year. They are very different from what they did before, and their minds are also
They all picked it up.
In fact, what it boils down to is that they think that Li Po is impatient, and something has obviously happened, but they are unaware of it. This can be said to be a dereliction of duty, which is very heartwarming for them who are conceited about their talents.
thing.
The three of them fell silent again and drank a few more drinks. Wen Yanbo sweated on his forehead before he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we should just do our best."
Su Dan looked at it sideways and said to himself, you are making it easy. The officials only need to follow the instructions step by step. Who can we ask for reasoning from the Ministry of Household Affairs? Just after the autumn harvest, tax collection is a troublesome thing. If possible, we have to talk to the King of Rites.
Ze went to deal with him, and he couldn't escape the issue of the title...
This does not count. Grain and grass need to be transported to the south, soldiers and horses stationed everywhere have to spend the winter. Hedong has been measuring acres of land and sorting out household registrations. Furthermore, the distribution of fields is also a major event, and military villages and civilian farming must be separated. So many things
If we are all in one place, will the number of people in the household department be enough?
Then there are personnel appointments and dismissals, the establishment of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is also a big trouble... and minting...
Thinking of this, Su Dan's mouth was full of bitterness, and his pretty face turned a lot darker. He couldn't help but scolded his mother in his heart. Damn it, I am also seeking death myself. My stomach is full, and I am still thinking about coining. Damn it.
.
He couldn't help but say: "It's better to give it some time. Some things...can't be rushed..."
Wen Yanbo looked at Su Dan's bitter face, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and held back his laughter.
Of course, it’s no wonder that he was a little gloating about others’ misfortunes. There is a natural competition between the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husbandry. The Ministry of Personnel has always been the head of the six departments. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Ministry of Husbandry is powerful and powerful no matter what time of year. Who knows when, Su
The family is about to step on the head of the officials.
Just like now, the king wants to be granted a title. This is a matter for the official department, but the household department wants to get involved. For Wen Yanbo, this is not a good sign. Even if he has no opinion on Su Dan himself, it is
Be wary.
Chen Xiaoyi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yuan Zai, the lord is a reasonable person... Wen Dalin said what he said is true. We just try our best. If there is any discord, the lord will not blame us."
The old minister is still able to keep his composure. Zhongshu's burden is no lighter than that of the Ministry of Revenue. See what they say? A look of shame appeared on Su Tan's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "What Zhongshu said is that Su Tan has been taught."
Chen Xiaoyi was "disgusted" at that time. I know very well who you are, Su Yuanzai. I have never seen you so respectful in the past. You acted so hypocritically today. After that, I wanted to blame everything on Zhongshu.
Do you want to come? Just dream...
These guys are very jealous, but they can't be compared with the people in Guzang City in the northwest. Every sentence seems to contain temptations and other meanings. People who are a little stupid may fall into the trap in just a few sentences.
How many times.
And they gathered here by chance, not to discuss with each other or anything else. This was one of the roads from the main hall of the Han Dynasty to the inner chamber.
It was also a place that His Highness the King of Han was accustomed to pass by. In view of His Highness the King of Han's previous "lazy administration", the entrance to the inner house was difficult to enter, so they found a place where the King of Han must pass to block him.
The three of them sat there for more than half an hour. People kept coming over to report something, but they were dismissed with a few words. Occasionally, a servant would come over cautiously and whisper a few words in their ears, reporting the whereabouts of His Highness the King of Han.
The three guys who drank a lot of water gradually realized that something was wrong. Such a blatant spying move was very taboo, especially for the king, as something might happen.
