Around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun set to the west, but the sunshine outside was still bright, and it did not seem to be late at all. However, Zhu Pingan had already left work from Taicang early.
"Leaving so early? Haha, I guess I can't hold on anymore and have to go home to rest."
"I think if we persist for one day at most, Zhu Pingan will sign and seal the inspection and end the inspection."
After Zhao Langzhong and others saw Zhu Pingan out of Taicang, they laughed and joked. In their opinion, Zhu Pingan couldn't bear it, so he went home early to rest. If this continues, Zhu Pingan will probably keep pretending at best.
One day, the inspection of Taicang Bank will be concluded with signature and seal.
This makes it clear.
As a result, Taicang’s late-night dining hall became fun again.
After leaving Taicang, Zhu Pingan, Liu Mu, and Liu Dadao rode back. After arriving in Xicheng, Zhu Pingan first went to Qintian Prison.
As the central government agency of the Ming Dynasty, the Qin Tianjian had its own independent office office just like the Six Ministries. It was also located very close to the Six Ministries, east of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, behind the Ministry of Rites, south of Honglu Temple, and north of the Taiyuan Hospital.
Unlike other yamen that open to the south, the gate of Qintian Prison opens to the west, which is probably a matter of Feng Shui.
Signing in when entering is a common rule for all yamen, and Qintian Prison is no exception.
When signing his name, Zhu Pingan glanced at the entire sign-in page without leaving a trace. There were not many foreign government officials who came to the Qintian Supervisory Office. There were only three or four people in one day. One sign-in page signed all the people who had been visiting for three days.
officials.
After reading this sign-in page, you will know which officials have come to Qintian Prison in the past three days.
There was a familiar name in the sign-in booklet on this page, which immediately attracted Zhu Pingan's attention.
"Taicang Jia Xu".
Jia Langzhong's sign-in immediately caught Zhu Pingan's eyes. Judging from the time, he was the last one to sign in yesterday.
The purpose of Jia Langzhong's visit to Taicang can be guessed without even thinking, it is simply to change the Kumen's auspicious time.
Zhu Ping'an knew what was going on, and there was no confusion on his face.
After signing in, Zhu Pingan put the brush on the pen holder, smiled and exchanged greetings with the gatekeeper, and then entered the gate of Qintian Prison.
The internal layout of the Qintian Prison is similar to that of the Liubu Yamen. The main entrance is also three-bay. There is a plaque of "Qintian Prison" hanging in the center of the main entrance. There is a photo wall inside the gate, and then there is a large courtyard. There are observatories, Huntian Terraces, etc. in the courtyard, as well as Taoist temples.
Colorful decoration. Further inside is the second door, also known as the Yimen.
Entering Yimen is the main hall of the Qintian Prison. This is where the officials of the Qintian Prison conduct official business. The deputy supervisor of the Qintian Prison also received Zhu Ping'an here.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord... Zhuangyuan Lang is here to replace the door of the treasury, right?"
The deputy supervisor of the Qintian Prison is a fat Taoist priest named Zhang Siming. He wears a gray and white Bagua Taoist robe, but he feels like a Buddhist Maitreya. He is smiling all the time.
Wearing a Taoist robe is a bit nondescript, and shouting a Taoist number will make people act out in minutes.
"Master Zhang is very aware of everything and he hit the nail on the head. He immediately guessed Ping An's intention." Zhu Ping'an complimented.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. The number one scholar is responsible for inspecting Taicang. Qian'er just came to Qintian Prison to ask for a good and auspicious day to change the Treasury door. Naturally, I came here today for this matter." Zhang Siming smiled and shook his head.
"I dare to ask Mr. Zhang, can the auspicious date for the replacement of Kumen be determined?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"It has been decided. There are two days for the No. 1 Scholar to choose from." Zhang Siming nodded and smiled.
"I wonder which two days it is?" Zhu Ping'an was very interested and leaned forward to ask.
"Zhengding and two Kun are in the middle, three Ren and four Xin are the same. Five stems and six armor are in the middle, seven gui and eight gen are in the middle. Nine Bing and ten are Yi, Zi Xun and Chou see Geng. The sixth month is Jia, the seventh month is Gui, Tian De Jia takes Ji, and Tian De Degui takes Wu. Taicang is a metal, the earth is born with gold, and metal is born with water. Therefore, among these auspicious days, one is the 20th of June three days later, and the other is the 18th of the next month. These two days are the best. The bright stars are shining high, which is an auspicious day for the construction of the gate."
Zhang Siming stretched out his hand and pinched a few seals. He muttered something in his mouth and slowly told the auspicious day for replacing the door of Taicang's silver warehouse.
It is said that there are two auspicious days for him to choose, but Zhu Ping'an knows in his heart that there is actually only one, and that is June 20th three days later.
As for the eighteenth day of next month, there is still a month from today. It takes too long, and the day lilies will have bloomed on the eighteenth day of next month. The inspection was delayed for a month, not to mention affecting the Taicang office, and Emperor Jiajing did not have the patience.
"When I went up today, I got a reply from the Ministry of Industry, saying that the fine iron warehouse door will be cast one day, and these two auspicious days will not be affected. I will issue a document to decide which one the champion thinks is suitable. Which one is next?" Zhang Siming was not in a hurry, the old god was watching Zhu Pingan, waiting for Zhu Pingan to choose a date.
Zhu Ping'an knew that this auspicious day must be attributed to Jia Langzhong. They must hope to replace the door as soon as possible, and they will be relieved if the inspection is completed as soon as possible.
Those with a guilty conscience are worried that they will have more dreams during the long nights.
"Then let's set it in three days."
But it doesn't matter, three days is enough, Zhu Pingan said softly, his dark eyes shining with confidence and determination.
"Okay, let's set it three days later. I'll have someone issue the document right now. After it's printed tomorrow, it will be sent to the Sixth Department and the government office in Taicang."
Zhu Ping'an's choice was within Zhang Siming's expectation. After hearing Zhu Ping'an say the chosen date, the smile on Zhang Siming's face became even thicker. Being entrusted by others, this is the end of the matter. Finally, he lived up to his trust.
"This will make you tired, Mr. Zhang." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked him.
After the date for replacing the Kumen was determined, Zhu Ping'an said goodbye and left Qintian Prison, heading towards Xiyuan.
After entering Xiyuan, Zhu Pingan went straight to Wuyiyi. It seemed that Wuyiyi was very busy today. Almost all the officials in the department were writing at their desks. They were very serious and meticulous, and they had a very arrogant attitude. Even Zhu Pingan After entering Wu Yi Shang, almost no one noticed.
After entering his room, he found that Li Chunfang was not there. He consulted the officials who were with him and learned that Li Chunfang and several other officials who were good at Qingci and parallel prose were all called to Tongshou along with Yan Shoufu and Xu Gelao.
The palace went to do some creative work. I went there in the morning and I haven't come back yet.
The official of Si Zhi obviously paid more attention to his subordinate's article than Zhu Ping'an. After saying a few words, he lowered his head and started working on the article wholeheartedly.
Apparently other officials in Wuyiyi are also engaged in creative work.
Zhai Jiao Qing Ci again? Under the leadership of Yan Shoufu, Qing Ci has become the top priority of Wu Yishen's work...
Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, sat down and wrote a note asking to see Emperor Jiajing, and was going to hand it over to the chamberlain to send to Wanshou Palace to ask to see Emperor Jiajing.
