Chapter 225
The **** who delivered the decree talked a lot, but Qin Lang was unmoved, and still refused to follow the order to return to Beijing. In the end, the **** had no choice but to return to Chang'an with the two salted salted ducks that Lao Wang had given him.
Sitting in the carriage, the white-faced and beardless old **** secretly mentioned the two salted salted salted ducks, which smelled salty and were very attractive.
Looking at the dark red meat and the salty smell, the old eunuch's saliva couldn't help gushing out.
He pinched it with his hands and found that the meat was tight, especially when the salted duck was spread out and stretched with sticks, it was really like a board.
The duck body is flat, the tail oil is plump but not exposed, and the fat and thinness are distinct.
Being a **** is actually very hard work, physically disabled, and despised by others. If you don’t have any official status, you don’t even have the clothes you need to change frequently. You can only leak urine and wet pants every day. I can't even lift it up.
Even if you suffer through it, you finally end up with an official job, you can finally have some money, you can buy a few more clothes, and you have some free time, you can change your clothes frequently, and you can even buy some spices and the like to put on your body. smell.
But after all, he is still an **** who is looked down upon by others.
Nowadays in the palace, the two eunuchs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Dianzhong, serve as introverts, but the chief officials are all civil servants, and they are extremely suppressed.
It is extremely difficult to come out occasionally to pass on a word of mouth. If you come out to take a look at the scenery, you can get some rewards.
Eunuch Wang Lin liked the two ducks that Duke Yi sent.
The more it smelled, the more fragrant it became. I couldn't help but took a small bite and found that the salty fragrance was tough and delicious.
If it is steamed according to the advice of Master Yi Guogongzhuang, it will definitely taste better.
On the way, Wang Lin couldn’t help but take another bite. Every time he said that, he only took one bite. As a result, he took one bite to the left and one to the right, and actually ate two duck legs on the way.
It was really delicious when I ate it, but now my mouth is full of salty taste.
Arriving at the East Palace, Wang Lin hurried to report to the emperor without having time to drink water.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard that Qin Lang refused to come back, and let out a cold snort.
"It's even on the nose and on the face!"
The emperor waved his hand, "Go and send Shi Xu Jingzong, the chief of the Zhenfu Department."
Xu Jingzong was looking at official documents in the yamen of Pingkangfang. After Qin Lang was dismissed, Xu Jingzong had been excited for a long time and was full of anticipation. Chengdu has never loved anyone.
He is still just Shi, the chief of the Zhenfu Department, a sixth-rank official.
He can't even control the orders of the five schools below, let alone Wu Heita and Liu Shili, who are now the left and right generals of Jinwuwei from the third rank.
In the Zhenfu Department, he was very sad, he was like a housekeeper, he had to trouble him in everything, but he couldn't control a few people.
I heard that the emperor summoned.
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but his heart trembled, could it be that the emperor finally remembered me, and finally wanted to reuse me?
Xu Jingzong trembled with excitement, his face turned red.
Hurry up to take a bath and change clothes, but the servant said impatiently, "Xu Changshi dare not delay, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
Xu Jingzong laughed aloud, "I'm leaving now."
Tidy up the skirts and go to the East Palace with the servants.
On the way, he quietly inquired, but the servants ignored him. Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth, took out a golden bean and handed it over.
This is worth a penny of gold, or two thousand.
But the waiter just rolled his eyes, and refused with some disgust.
Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded this damned slave for being greedy, so he could only bear the pain and touched another grain.
As a result, when the **** looked at the two golden beans, he always felt that they looked like the two treasures he had lost. The more he looked at them, the more they looked like them, and he felt that Xu Jingzong was deliberately humiliating him, and his pale face became even paler with anger.
"Xu Changshi, please respect yourself!"
"If this happens again, our family will report to the emperor."
Xu Jingzong was startled, two golden beans fell to the ground, he quickly bent down to pick them up.
Wang Lin gritted his teeth, felt more and more that Xu Jingzong was extremely vulgar, and he was an 18th bachelor. With this appearance, he still wants to take the position of Lord Yi and take charge of Fusi?
Phew!
The next road is extremely embarrassing.
When entering the hall, he forgot to take off his shoes, and was reprimanded loudly by the Qianniu guard on duty, which made him even more embarrassed.
"Chenzhen Fusi Cheng Xu Jingzong pays homage to His Majesty!"
In a hurry, Xu Jingzong reported all his official positions wrongly.
Li Shimin raised his head and was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking when did I give him the title of Governor?
Xu Jingzong came back to his senses, terrified and uneasy, "The minister is dead, and Shi Xu Jingzong, the chief minister of the minister, pleads guilty!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"Xu Jingzong, long time no see, but you have learned how to add an official to yourself? Have you learned something?"
Xu Jingzong was ashamed.
I think he is also a dignified celebrity, a son of a famous gentry family, once an eighteenth scholar of the Qin Palace, and made many plans for the emperor, but now he is ignored, and now the emperor is saying such things, but there is no old love at all. Read it.
"The subject is dead!"
Li Shimin couldn't bear to see him like this.
He waved his hand, "Forget it, get up, sit down and talk."
Xu Jingzong thanked God and sat down on his knees.
"I ask you, what is Qin Lang doing recently?"
Xu Jingzong didn't expect the emperor to ask this, and his mind turned quickly. What exactly is the emperor asking? What is the purpose of asking this?
He thought about it, and couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't dare to peek at the expression on the emperor's face and guess, he was in a difficult situation, and the emperor hummed heavily.
"I asked you such a simple thing, and you have to think about it for so long? Could it be that you are speculating on my heart again?"
Xu Jingzong hurriedly replied, "I dare not, I just really don't know."
"I don't know? You are the head of the Zhenfu Department, Shi, and you are in charge of the affairs of the department. The first job of the Zhenfu Department is to monitor the sky and the earth, but you say you don't know?" Li Shimin was extremely dissatisfied.
Xu Jingzong was ruthless and had already made a decision.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. Since the resignation of Yi Guogong, I have been ordered to take charge of the affairs, but the minister is only six-rank, and it is not, and it is not..."
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, the Zhenfu Division was established by Duke Yi by order. Officials, officials, servants, soldiers, etc. were all recruited by Qin Lang, and the ministers were later transferred by order. They were never Yi. Duke Yi's confidant, so he has never been trusted by Lord Yi. After he left, the officials in the Sizhong refused to obey me, and most of my orders were yin and yang, and even Qin Lang resigned. , Lieutenant Dugu Yanyun, etc. all directly resigned with the crown, they would rather be Qin Lang's trilogy and generals, than stay in the department as officials..."
"The minister also asked the department to monitor Qin Lang according to the duties of the Zhenfu Department, but although Wei Chang, Lin San and others reported regularly, they were worthless..."
Xu Jingzong complained to the emperor, suing Qin Lang overshadowed the sky in the Zhenfu Department, and it was deeply rooted. The officials in the Zhenfu Department only respected Qin Lang, even if Qin Lang left, they still listened to Qin Lang.
This complaint was very harsh. According to him, the Zhenfusi was no longer the imperial court's Zhenfusi, but Qin Lang's personal Zhenfusi.
Li Shimin's face was ugly.
Xu Jingzong secretly looked at the expression on the emperor's face. Seeing his appearance, he was secretly delighted, thinking that the emperor had listened.
"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, please recall Duke Yi to serve as the governor, and the minister please transfer!"
Xu Jingzong couldn't afford to worship.
Li Shimin's face was uncertain.
After a long time, the emperor sneered a few times, "Xu Jingzong, you are the chief history officer who I transferred to the Zhenfu Division. The Zhenfu Division soon transferred you. After a long time, you actually told me that you have nothing to do in the division. Influence?"
"You'd rather make excuses for your incompetence!"
Xu Jingzong fell on the ground secretly shocked, very terrified, but he did not expect this result.
The more Li Shimin looked at Xu Jingzong, the more unhappy he became. He summoned Xu Jingzong to ask what Qin Lang was doing recently and why he couldn't think of leaving. Who would have expected that Xu Jingzong would accuse Qin Lang of evil at this time, and even I am incompetent, unable to control the Zhen Fusi, what I said is so fresh and refined.
In the eyes of the emperor, this can only explain one thing, that Xu Jingzong is incompetent, he is really incompetent. He actually said that he had never really mastered the Zhenfu Division.
The Zhenfu Division was established in Qin Lang's hands, and how many meritorious services he has made. It is the most handy tool he has used since he took power. excellent.
Xu Jingzong is so incompetent, so it can be said that the achievements of the former Zhen Fusi have nothing to do with him.
Such waste, what else do you keep?
Qin Lang's exclusive power?
In Li Shimin's eyes, Qin Lang is capable, very capable. He also doesn't believe in the so-called authoritarian theory.
"Since you ask for a transfer, then I will transfer you to the Imperial College as an assistant teacher of the Taixue!"
"Back off!"
Xu Jingzong lay on the ground, feeling powerless.
He couldn't believe this result, and he didn't want to believe it. He thought the emperor was dissatisfied with Qin Lang, so he decided to sue. Who expected this result?
Taixue teaching assistant? This is only an official position on the seventh rank, not to mention that this kind of teaching assistant has no real power. There are six schools in Guozijian, and Taixue is still ranked after Guozixue. The teaching assistants of Guozixue are all from the sixth rank, and the teaching assistants of Taixue are from the seventh rank.
Taixue has six teaching assistants, and there are six Taixue doctors on it.
If it is said that he was demoted from Chang'an Ling to Zhenfu Secretary Shi, it was a heavy blow, but now he is demoted to Taixue teaching assistant, he really fell straight into Jiuyou Hell.
Is it impossible to stand up in this life?
"Stand back!" Li Shimin ordered again in a deep voice.
Xu Jingzong finally regained some strength and struggled to get up, not daring to lift his head.
"The minister resigns!"
Bowing deeply, Xu Jingzong staggered out.
Li Shimin looked at that figure with contempt.
"Trash!"
He never thought that Xu Jingzong, whom he had placed in the Zhen Fu Division from the very beginning, would be so incompetent.
"Horse Week!"
The emperor passed the decree.
Ma Zhou, who was newly promoted to serve as the censor, entered the palace to meet the emperor.
"You go to the Political Affairs Hall and ask Zhongshusheren to draw up an edict, and return to the post of Sanqi regular servant in Qinlang's sect. After you get the edict, send it to the sect in person, let Ru Huiyong seal it through, and then you go to Sanyuan in person Proclamation, tell Qin Lang to come back immediately!"
