Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight of the actor's self-cultivation
The Shaanxi Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Punishment is operating as usual. Criminal case files from Shaanxi, Gansu and other places as well as the Hou Army Governor's Office, the Pingren Division, the Jingfu Army Guards, the Hedong Salt Transportation Division and other places are summarized here, and are carried and distributed by small officials.
To all the officials present here.
There are a lot of files, but there are too many lice. The officials of the Shaanxi Qing Dynasty Department have long practiced the leisurely working method. A pot of tea, a newspaper, a file, drink tea, read the newspaper, and review
File, time passed slowly.
In general, the work seems busy, but the officials are still very relaxed.
The officials of the Shaanxi Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Punishment were leisurely in their busy schedule. He Ao, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, had returned from the Yan Mansion. When the junior official whispered in his ear to remind the doctor Zhai Juntao, Zhu Ping'an, who was sitting at the door, had already passed the junior official's lips.
The shape is read out.
However, doctor Zhai Juntao did not make any comments, and Zhu Pingan did not give any hint.
About half an hour after returning from He Ao, the doctor Zhai Juntao sent someone to ask He Ao, the Minister of Punishment, for instructions again. The junior official brought a reply. After hearing this, Zhai Juntao waved the junior official to leave.
"Come here, serve tea to Master Zhu. Ping An, don't be restrained, just treat this as the Hanlin Academy. He Shangshu will send someone to inform us when he is done." The doctor Zhai Juntao smiled and ordered someone to serve tea to Zhu Ping'an, and asked Zhu Ping'an to
Peaceful, less restless, and looks very enthusiastic.
"Thank you for your safety, Mr. Zhai."
Zhu Pingan stood up and cupped his hands to express his thanks. He slightly raised the corners of his lips and gave a disdainful smile. Zhu Pingan couldn't hear what the little official just said, but he could read it through lip reading. The reply that the little official brought was:
Dry yourself first.
Haha, Ao Ying? Is this psychological warfare?
Sure enough, no one who can reach the position of Minister is a fuel-efficient lamp. Sometimes waiting is the most painful thing. Several reminders from the Ministry of Punishment made people feel that the matter was urgent. However, when I came to the Ministry of Punishment, they left me alone.
Don't say anything about your feelings, just let yourself wait. Urgency and uneasiness will slowly ferment in waiting. The longer the wait, the greater the collapse of the defense line in the heart.
Then, if the other party waits for work, he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, maybe He Shangshu didn't take himself seriously at all, and it was just a habit.
If they were ordinary young men who were new to the officialdom, they would probably have collapsed while waiting, just as they thought... However, it was a pity that they met Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an is more laid-back than the officials of the Shaanxi Qing Li Department. He sits comfortably at the table near the door. The person who is dressed in a decent official uniform is in good spirits. On the desk is a volume that he just borrowed from the Qing Li Department.
Zhu Yuanzhang's "Admonitions to Encourage Officials", I read a page from time to time.
While reading, I would pick up a cup of hot tea in my hand. Holding the tea cup in my left hand, holding the tea lid in my right hand, I would gently flick the rim of the cup a few times. The Longjing tea leaves in the tea cup would fly up and down under the flick, and the fragrance of the tea would be released as they danced.
Already.
In modern times, Zhu Pingan rarely drank tea, and even when he drank tea, he was not very particular about it. When watching TV, he was very puzzled by the fact that the ancients always took the lid of the bowl and flicked it twice when drinking tea. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that he understood
The reason why.
Drinking tea was an elegant thing for the ancients. They paid attention to observing its shape, watching its color, smelling its smell, and tasting its taste. This is done by using the lid to stir the edge of the teacup. The stirring of the upper water will cause the tea to form convection in the teacup, just like the tea ceremony.
Flying makes the tea more flavorful and the tea aroma more intense. If you like to drink clear tea, just stir it a few times less; if you like to drink strong tea, stir it a few times more.
In addition, modern tea cups have a metal filter for filtering tea leaves to prevent tea leaves from being drunk into the mouth. In ancient times, there was no such device. The ancients used the tea lid to move the tea cup to move the tea leaves and residues to another place.
On the other hand, avoid taking a sip of tea while drinking tea, which is degrading to politeness.
Oh, yes, tea cups in ancient times did not have that metal filter. I had just finished my apprenticeship in the Hanlin Academy, and I was still thinking of finding a way to make money. By the way, if this filter screen was "borrowed" from the Ming Dynasty, would it be possible?
Get started?
Well, in modern times it can be said that everyone has a cup with a filter. The market has proven that it works in modern times, but there is no reason why it wouldn’t work in ancient times. Ancient people liked drinking tea more than modern people. After all, in
In ancient times, the only beverage available was tea, and people had no choice. It can be said that the market was bigger than today.
This can be done. Of course, this will be discussed in the future in the long run.
While Zhu Pingan was drinking tea and thinking about the filter, Zhai Juntao, a doctor in the Shaanxi Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Justice, looked at Zhu Pingan from time to time without any trace. Then Zhai Juntao was shocked.
Zhu Ping'an sat comfortably, sipping tea elegantly, and thinking about the filter, which was also regarded as reading a book by the doctor Zhai Juntao.
Then, Zhai Juntao came to a conclusion that shocked him. This young man who had just entered the officialdom was so calm in this situation. He was as calm as a mountain despite the rain or shine. People who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years may not be able to achieve this situation.
A young man's Qi cultivation skills have reached such a level.
After Zhu Pingan drank three cups of tea and read two books of Ming Dynasty laws, Zhai Juntao, the official of the Qing Dynasty, finally got up and took Zhu Pingan to meet with He Ao, the Minister of Punishment.
However, before meeting with the Minister of Punishment, Dr. Zhai first took Zhu Ping'an to the Ministry of Punishment Nursing Home to collect the files regarding Zhu Ping'an's memorial.
There were three officials in the Zhaomo Office, all with official positions around the eighth rank, and about ten copy clerks. When Dr. Zhai and Zhu Ping'an came to visit, they all put down what they were doing and came to see them.
The Zhaomo Institute of the Ministry of Punishment is somewhat similar to the offices of modern governments and enterprises and institutions. It is mainly responsible for organizing archives, accepting documents, polishing the six-room archives, documenting documents, recording stolen goods and redemptions, etc.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Pingan smelled the strong smell of calligraphy and ink.
Dr. Zhai always had a friendly smile on his face, and he called the officials in the care center familiarly, which made everyone feel flattered. If they hadn't learned about Dr. Zhai's character through lip reading at the Shaanxi Qing Li Department, Zhu would have
Peace will also be clouded by this person's affinity.
But now...
It's nothing more than an actor's self-cultivation.
After leaving the Zhaomo Institute, we went directly outside the office of He Ao and Minister He Ao. The room in which He Ao worked was almost the simplest and most dilapidated room in the Ministry of Justice... If you just look at the office environment, He Ao must be selfless and dedicated.
He is an upright official at work, but... how can He Shangshu, who can collude with Yan Song and become a member of Yan Song's party, be so upright?
He Ao is very famous.
His fame comes from his two imperial staffs, which were used by two generations of emperors to make him famous. In Jiajing, his brother, Emperor Zhengde, wanted to tour the south, but He Ao admonished him to stop him, but Zhengde gave him a beating with the imperial staff; Jiajing
In the early years, during a discussion about the "big gift", He Ao disobeyed the order and was beaten with a royal stick by Emperor Jiajing. He was almost beaten to death. Two strokes of the royal stick brought He Ao great fame.
Pity.
He Ao was pretty good in his early years, but now he has become a member of Yan Song's party and has deteriorated.
"Why did Ping'an sigh?" Dr. Zhai had very sharp ears. When he heard Zhu Ping'an's sigh, he thought it was Zhu Ping'an who was afraid. He secretly laughed in his heart that he was still young. Now he knew that he was afraid. It was too late. What was he doing in the memorial earlier?
"Nothing." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Zhai showed an understanding smile and didn't ask any more questions. (To be continued.) 8
