"Ah!" The soldiers at the door were startled and stared blankly at Lin Jue. Seeing that this man was dressed in a long gown and looked elegant and young, he looked like a poor scholar. People in the Privy Council Yamen naturally have no good impression of scholars.
, so I’m not too polite. Who would have expected that it was actually the owner of the house.
"Don't joke, you will be beheaded if you make such a joke." A soldier said in disbelief.
Lin Jue shouted coldly: "You bastards, you won't let me in. I have important things to do, so how can I have time to stay here with you?
/p
All the soldiers were startled and hurriedly stepped aside to greet each other. Lin Jue frowned and thought: Why are there such bastards everywhere? The guards in front of the dignified Privy Council gate were illiterate and had extremely bad attitudes. This also reflects from one side.
Many things in the Zhou Dynasty were a mess, and there were no rules at all.
The Privy Council Yamen is surprisingly large, but it is understandable. In addition to the numerous agencies under its jurisdiction, there are also various relevant supervisors related to the military. The personnel are complex and the agencies are numerous, which is no less impressive than the Political Hall. Lin Jue found it after entering the gate.
A minor official led the way, and he was led into another large courtyard at the east end. This is where the twelve-room public housing is concentrated. In a large courtyard, there are seven or eight rows of tall and bright houses with cornices, and the east room is in the third row.
To the right, there are four large rooms, where the East House is located.
When Lin Jue arrived, more than twenty officials were gathered around chatting. After Lin Jue appeared, someone immediately recognized him.
"Master Lin, Master Lin is here. I have come to greet Master Lin. Why are you standing still? This is our new boss, Mr. Lin. Please come and greet me."
Everyone woke up one after another and came forward to salute.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, I have been looking forward to seeing you. When I learned that Mr. Lin was appointed as our hostess, all my colleagues looked forward to it day and night, hoping to catch a glimpse of you as soon as possible. I finally waited for you today."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin's reputation has spread throughout the capital. This time he used troops to suppress the rebellion. Everyone admires him. After taking office as the head of my boss, my boss can be proud in the Privy Council. From now on, our boss will be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.
It’s the first room. With Mr. Lin here, who dares to disapprove?”
"Exactly. If anyone is not convinced, ask him if he can annihilate tens of thousands of enemies with thousands of troops. Ask him if he can catch turtles in a jar, annihilate all the religious bandits, and capture the bandit leader alive?"
"..."
A group of people were talking in a flurry of flattery and smiling. Lin Jue smiled bitterly as he looked at the group of pampered and idle guys in front of him, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, okay, why are you guys so noisy? Mr. Lin has just arrived, and you are talking all over the place without letting Mr. Lin sit down. It is really rude. Mr. Lin, please take a seat.
, I will go and make you a cup of tea. This is good tea, and it’s Maofeng before the rain this year.” A short and fat official scolded everyone, turned to Lin Jue and said with a smile.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Okay, thank you very much."
With a smile on his face, the official led Lin Jue into the inner room and said with a smile as he walked: "Master Lin, the next official, Ma Pijin, is the commander of my house. Please take care of me in the future, Master Lin."
A group of officials behind them curled their lips and cursed in a low voice: "Flattery, he is the most shameless person."
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Ma who's easy to talk to. I'm a newbie here and I'm unfamiliar with the people and the place. I need you to take more care of me from now on."
Ma Pijin smiled like a flower and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, if you have anything to do, just tell me, and I will help you handle it properly. You have to be careful about that group of people over there.
These guys are all sycophants. They say nice things to their faces but they are the ones behind their backs. You don’t have to be polite to them."
Lin Jue laughed heartily and thought: "You are just laughing at each other at fifty steps and a hundred steps. You guys are like dogs when you see Shangguan. You have really lost the integrity of scholars."
However, Lin Jue has no intention of rectifying these people. He has not yet the energy to be busy with specific matters. The responsibilities of the pacifier are over. Only after he officially comes to serve in the Privy Council and understands the situation in detail can he make some changes.
.There is no need to offend these guys right now.
Ma Pijin indeed made the tea himself and served it, but Lin Jue had no time to taste the tea. He only smiled and said: "Master Ma, I don't know where Privy Yang's residence is. Privy Yang and I have informed him in advance that we will meet with him in the afternoon.
I just don’t know where his public house is. Can Sir Ma lead the way for me?"
Ma Pijin hurriedly said: "What's the point? It's my duty to go down to the official position. But I'm afraid Privy Yang hasn't come yet. Privy Yang has the habit of taking a nap, why don't I go down to the official position and help you take a look?"
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "That's very good, then you'll have a lot of work."
Ma Pijin stood up in a hurry and went out like a gust of wind. Lin Jue picked up the tea cup and took a few sips. He looked at a group of people standing outside and poked their heads around, so he smiled and said: "You adults, if you have anything to say, please come in and talk."
A group of people all rushed in with cheers and cheers, and bowed their hands.
An official whispered: "Didn't you hear that Mr. Lin was appointed as the imperial envoy to pacify the people on the East and West Road of Beijing to pacify the rebellious people in the prefecture? He completed the job so quickly. It is really very efficient."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's not true. I am returning to Beijing temporarily to arrange for the allocation of supplies."
"Oh." Everyone was stunned.
"Sir, I heard that the Qing Cult bandits who rebelled this time are very powerful. It is said that they eat human flesh, have green faces and fangs, and are invulnerable. They are extremely ferocious. It is said that the leader of the cult can summon magical soldiers to come down from the sky to help, and he can control many monsters.
I don’t know if it’s true that he practices sorcery. Your Excellency can defeat the bandits this time. That’s really impressive.” Another official asked.
Lin Jue laughed dumbly and waved his hands: "Who spread these news? It's really nonsense. Didn't the King of Jin escort many religious bandits back to the capital? Haven't you seen them? They are just common people who have been bewitched by someone with ulterior motives.
.Just like you and me, we have hands, feet, a nose and two eyes. How can there be such a thing as three heads and six arms, green faces and tusks? Talking about eating raw human flesh is even more nonsense. It is true that most of them only eat vegetables and not meat. You guys
Where does the name Qingjiao come from? It’s because they don’t eat meat and only eat vegetables.”
"That's it, let me tell you, how can there be such bizarre rumors? Mr. Zhang is still arguing with me. Mr. Zhang, you have nothing to say this time. If you admit defeat, you have to treat me to a drink." The official said to the other person.
A black-faced official said proudly.
The black-faced official smacked his lips and said, "Just please, do you think I can't afford it? Look how proud you are."
"Hahaha." The winning official burst into laughter.
Lin Jue frowned. These guys were so bored that they actually bet on this matter, so he asked himself for confirmation. The bloody battle ahead was extremely dangerous, but these guys in the Yamen behind were betting on such a thing. It was really annoying.
.
"Can Hai Dongqing, the bandit leader, be able to summon heavenly soldiers and generals? Master Lin hasn't said yet." The official asked.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "What's your name?"
The official said hurriedly: "I am the next official, Wang Youdao, and I will write the history of the order."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang is very curious. Since you are so curious, I will ask you to go to Jingxi East Road to be responsible for educating the guilty cult bandits. You can also get close contact with those Qingjiao followers.
, any problems will be solved. Educating religious bandits is a dangerous thing, they will use knives if they disagree with you, Mr. Wang must be careful. Also, if there is a member of the cult who failed to educate successfully, you can
You are not allowed to return to Beijing. Did you hear that?"
"Ah?" Wang Youdao opened his mouth in shock and stood blankly.
The surrounding officials covered their mouths and burst into giggles, gloating over the misfortune. The black-faced official had a mean mouth, so he covered his mouth and whispered: "Master Wang, I'm afraid it will take ten years before I can treat you to a drink.
.Don’t worry, I won’t rely on you for this dinner and dinner.”
Lin Jue snorted coldly and said: "My lord, you should also go with us, and you two will be partners. You like to drink and bet together, which means you have a good relationship, and we just happen to go do this together."
"Hee hee hee, hee hee hee, hee hee hee, hee hee hee." There was a burst of suppressed laughter from all around.
Lin Jue raised his eyebrows, and everyone immediately stopped laughing. Only then did they realize that they were actually very dangerous. The new boss didn't seem to be easy to mess with.
"Listen to me. I, Lin Jue, am very tolerant of people and things, but I don't want people to sit idle and do nothing. Although I perform my duties informally, I have my principles. First, do things with the appearance of doing things.
, instead of idle chattering and goofing around every day. If you have finished the things at hand, you can improve yourself by reading and writing. Secondly, when you follow me, you must follow my rules. Whatever I say is what I say, and you must listen to me if I am wrong.
Thirdly, I hope that you will not flatter or flatter others in the future. In fact, what you scholars should do is to act like a human being. How is it appropriate to nod and bow with a playful smile? Listen to me, and don’t mess with me, otherwise,
I will punish you one by one."
Everyone was red-faced and shocked and speechless. Master Lin suddenly went berserk, and they were not mentally prepared. Originally, they thought that a young man like Lin Jue who was in charge would be able to be manipulated by them and applauded. Who would have expected that this was not the case at all?
.This guy will fall out whenever he wants. He won't give me any face. He's very harsh.
"Now, all go out to do things. I know that there are many military affairs under the jurisdiction of Dongfang. You are still in the mood to chat. Be careful. If you can't do something well, I will kick him out and teach you.
Get out of here." Lin Jue shouted.
The officials rolled their eyes and cursed in their hearts, but they behaved extremely humbly and bowed silently to exit.
Lin Jue let out a long breath, sat there for a while, and suddenly felt a little regretful. He didn't have to worry about the affairs of the yamen, and he didn't have to offend people so early. The most taboo thing when he first came here was to make trouble about these things, which was actually harmful to him.
There was no benefit. But for some reason, a ball of anger suddenly emerged in his heart. He didn't know how it burst out. In fact, he didn't know how many officials he had come into contact with. Among the major yamen of the imperial court, these
There are so many officials of this type that I should actually be used to, but why are they like fledglings who have no patience and the government.
