There are many treasures in this country

Xiao Suo had never been married before, but it was just a prevarication lie.

My aunt has never been in touch with his family, and she has never even sent greetings at the funeral of her parents. I don't know why she is so eager to marry her daughter to him now.

It is absolutely impossible to do this kind of relationship, and no kind of relationship can be done.

He told a lie today, he felt a little uncomfortable, and when he went back, his expression was not very good, listless.Ouyang Xu asked about Babao, and when he learned the inside story, he smiled to Shan Gu who was also worried: "It's okay. His aunt told him about marriage, maybe it's because the girl's family didn't meet his expectations, so he's upset."

"Where is there a match?" Shan Gu said: "You have to choose slowly. But you don't have to worry about it. You two are very promising now. We can't look down on ordinary sisters. They must be virtuous. It’s good to be courteous, gentle and pleasant!”

"My aunt is getting further and further away."

"Where is it far?" Shan Gu raised her eyebrows and said, "You two are both old and young. If you were in someone else's family, you would even have a son! Tomorrow I will go to Zhang Luo and ask people from all over the world. If you don't believe me, there will be no good. It's gone."

When Ouyang Xu saw these words, he quickly raised his hands to beg for forgiveness, and quickly hid.

Six days later it was time to enter the imperial court, Shan Gu made new clothes for the two of them ahead of time, one blue and one green robes, although not expensive, they were more clean and elegant.It's a pity that it didn't come in handy.

The Ministry of Officials distributed court uniforms to the new examinees according to their official ranks, including crowns, robes, jade belts, court boots, and seals, two sets of winter and summer, which cost 20 taels of silver.

Xiao Suo felt distressed and had to give it up, so he had to send Babao to the bank to take out 30 taels, and handed over the money for his and Ouyang Xu's court clothes, and changed the blue cloth robe he was wearing. .

Ouyang Xu was sent to Anle County as the county magistrate, a seventh-rank official position; Xiao Suo entered the Yushitai as a servant censor, a sixth-rank official, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

The little official led him to Yushitai, first went to get the certificate by name, and then went to see Zuodu Yushi Yanjun.Although Xiao Suo knew him, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and bowed respectfully.

Yan Jun nodded and said in a gentle voice: "Excuse me. Although I am your superior, I am also your colleague. You don't have to be so restrained. We are all the king's salary, and we must always think about sharing your worries. Especially It is the Yushitai, which is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and it should be even more so. This officer tells the new officials every year, you have experienced it for the first time today, and you will have to listen to it in the future, so don’t be annoyed.”

Xiao Suo hurriedly said: "Students dare not."

"You still call him a student?" Yan Jun laughed, "It's time to change your tune. From now on, you will be a serious court official."

"Yes," Xiao Suo said with his head bowed, "I've made a note of it."

Yan Jun pointed to the person in front of the hall and said: "This is Zhengfeng Yushi Sinan, the head of the Supervision Department and your immediate boss. You just came here today, and you are not familiar with the affairs in the stage. He will take care of you later. You take office."

Xiao Suo saw that this man was about 30 years old, he had handsome eyes, sculpted eyebrows, good figure, and a kind expression on his face, which made people want to get close to him.

Along the way, Si Nan introduced to him: "There are two major yamen in our Yushitai, one is the Supervisory Division, and the other is the Supervisory Office. The Supervisory Division admonishes the king and his officials, and the Supervisory Office maintains the law and order. There are servants in the Supervisory Division. There is a censor in the Inspectorate. The head of the supervisory department is the Zhengfeng censor, and the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the constitutional censor. There are no subordinates in the Yushitai, only authentic ones. You are the sixth rank, and I am the fifth rank. .”

Xiao Suo nodded, and asked, "Your Excellency, is it Lord Yan?"

Si Nan laughed and said, "Above the Zhengfeng Yushi and the Zhixian Yushi are the fourth-rank Yushicheng, the fourth-rank Yushi Zhongcheng, and the third-rank and so-du Yushi."

Xiao Suo said embarrassingly: "The lower official is stupid, thank you for letting me know."

"It's okay." Sinan waved his hand, "It's the first day you come here, of course you don't know. In fact, the censors are not the head of the censor. The real head of the censor is the second-rank doctor censor. It is Da Sikong. It’s just that the censor doctor is old, really old, and sick. He has not been a director for several years. The Holy One is kind. Although Sikong can’t be a director, he still retains his official position. One is to show his kindness and make him feel at home. Self-cultivation; the second is to leave an old and knowledgeable person for the young officials of Yushitai to consult, so that no major mistakes will be made. Now Yushitai is in charge of Zuodu Yushiyan."

Xiao Suo asked again: "Is there no Yushi Youdu in that station?"

Si Nan drew up the curtain and led him into the house, and said, "Speaking of Youdu Censor, he was an official under the third rank at that time, but he was actually one rank lower than Zuodu Censor. Later, the first emperor restructured the system, and the first to third ranks were only divided into subordinates. Yes, there is no longer a distinction between the upper and lower ranks, and the left and right censors will be on the same level. But the right censor is in charge of local affairs, and he is on patrol all year round. In fact, he is one point lower than the left censor. Our censor platform has been understaffed in recent years, and the right capital censor Both Shi and Yushi Zhongcheng are still vacant. The original head of the Inspectorate was Mr. Tan Zhaohui Tan, but he had just been promoted to Yushicheng recently, and the constitutional Yushi was vacant, so he took over first. You are here At that time, as long as you do things well, you don’t have to worry about not having a chance for promotion.”

Xiao Suo lowered his head and said yes.

Si Nan nodded slightly, and said again: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. There are often factional disputes in the Yushi Yamen. The general who came from the Inspectorate and the supervisor who came from the Supervision Department are fighting for leisure. You say I am strong, and he says I am good." , What a fool. You new officials must not be infected with this bad habit. Forming a party is a serious crime, I don’t need to say that.”

Xiao Suo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please remember, don't worry, my lord."

After Si Nan finished speaking, he talked to him about the affairs that the censor Shi usually had to deal with. Seeing that it was not early, he said, "Today is the time for rest and bathing. There is no one at the gate of the yamen. You can go back after receiving the official certificate." That's it, just come over at Maoshi the next day."

Xiao Suo hurriedly said: "Just now I have received the official certificate and official seal, thank you for reminding me."

"Just get it." Sinan thought about it and asked again: "Where do you live now, do you have a house in Beijing?"

Xiao Suo was ashamed: "The lower official is from Yuezhou, and his family is poor, so he doesn't have a house in Beijing, and now he lives in a friend's house in Nancheng."

"Nancheng?" Si Nan shook his head, "No, no. Nancheng is too far away from Dongcheng, and the yamen works at midnight, how can you make it in time? Even if you make it in time, it will be too much trouble. You can apply for an official residence, but there is a shortage of houses and they are newly built. That piece of land was allocated half a year ago, and I'm afraid it won't be built again for a while."

Seeing him in such a difficult situation, Xiao Suo felt warm in his heart, and said: "Thank you, my lord, for being thoughtful on behalf of the lower officials. In fact, the lower officials are used to running around and are not afraid of far distances. Since there is a shortage of court houses, the lower officials should still live in Nancheng."

"This is absolutely unacceptable." Sinan said, "If you run like this every day, how can your body bear it? Even if you can bear it, the bearer who carries the sedan chair can't bear it. The imperial court has rules. Officer, you can no longer go in and out as casually as before, and your words and deeds are respectable for the court, and you usually have to take a sedan chair. You are borrowing to live at a friend's house, do you want the bearer to live at your friend's house too?"

What he said was reasonable, and Xiao Suo felt embarrassed.After buying the court clothes today, he will be completely poor, not to mention buying a house and land, even renting a cowshed in the expensive Dongcheng City is difficult.

"That's it." Sinan saw his thoughts: "I have a vacant house in Dongcheng, just behind the official residence of the imperial court. You stay there temporarily, and when you have money in the future, it's not too late to find a way out."

Xiao Suo was startled, quite sorry: "How can this happen, how can I be so good!"

Sinan smiled: "You don't have to be embarrassed, I didn't let you live in vain. There are flowers, vegetables and fruits I planted in the yard. You happened to help me take care of them in the past, so I hired you to be a gardener."

Hearing this, Xiao Suo had no choice but to agree with shame: "Then I would like to thank my lord, I will definitely help you take care of the flowers and plants. As for the rent, my lord can deduct it from my salary."

Si Nan laughed it off, and just said "no need".

Xiao Suo was trembling all day, and he didn't feel tired until the afternoon when he went back.When he got home, Ouyang Xu was packing his luggage. He was sent to the outskirts of Beijing to be the county magistrate. He needed to arrange things ahead of time. He would take up his post tomorrow and go to the local area to familiarize himself with the affairs.

Shan Gu's eyes were slightly red, and she leaned next to him to help him pack, sometimes asking if he wanted to take this bag, and sometimes asking if he could carry it.

Seeing this, Xiao Suo couldn't say that he wanted to move out.He waited until dinner, when he saw that everyone was in a good mood, before he informed about this matter.

Wang Tiezui gave it back, but Shan Gu frowned: "How can you do it alone, who will wash and cook for you, and who will clean up your house? There is no way, I have to run away."

A few days ago, Wang Tiezui had inherited Chunyuan, and now besides storytelling, he also took care of the business of the teahouse, so he was so busy every day that he didn't touch the ground, and he only wished he had no time to spare himself.

Shan Gu has to take care of him, has to deal with many things at home, and has to go out to set up a stall, so she is very tired, and she never has a moment to spare.Xiao Suo moved to Dongcheng, the journey is far away, if she wants to run on both sides, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.

Xiao Suo persuaded him again and again, saying that he could take care of himself, including washing and cooking.Shan Gu couldn't help it, so she shed a few tears, refused to eat, and started to pack things for him again.

Sinan's house is not big, the yard is full of flowers, vegetables and fruits, Xiao Suo likes it very much.

He put down his things, cleaned inside and out, let Babao live in the outside room, and lived in the inside room by himself, and went to the carriage and horse shop to hire two bearers—the imperial court only provided sedan chairs, but not the bearers— Set them up on the corner gates.

When Xiao Suo went out at night, he realized that this house was the official residence of the imperial court for newly promoted officials.Si Nan was given a set at the beginning, but now he has purchased the property himself, so he can leave this place for him to live in temporarily.

The houses in this area vary in size and size, and they all serve the same purpose.Xiao Suo and Babao passed through the alley all the way, and saw many official sedan chairs coming and going, and many official servants gathered in groups at the back doors of each house.

From a distance, I only heard a small guy in the crowd in front chatting his teeth: "Hey, do you know? The emperor gave General Shen Yan a marriage, but it was not some Pingyang princess, but the princess who came to marry from the south. Si Tianjian has The day is over, we will get married on the [-]th of next month!"

"Princess Fanzi is not as honorable as Princess Pingyang. Didn't General Shen refute it?"

"No."

The author has something to say:

This chapter mainly runs the background and explains two things (you can skip it if you are bored).

1. The chapter posted last night (should be early this morning) was incomplete, so I reposted it.My Jinjiang is always so erratic, everyone’s comments are often seen a long time after they are sent, and the small envelope is still flashing after reading the information on the site... I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

2. This article is superficial, mainly following the system of the Tang Dynasty (prosperous age), with many systems of the Ming and Qing Dynasties mixed in.In the Tang Dynasty, the official system of the Northern Wei Dynasty was followed, not the ninth rank and eighteen ranks of later generations, but the ninth rank and thirty ranks.Starting from the fourth grade, there are not only genuine and secondary grades, but also upper and lower grades within the same grade.For example, the fourth grade is divided into the upper grade and the lower grade, and the same is true for the fourth grade.However, it is customary to say that the lower ranks do not specifically indicate that when addressing the lower grades of the fourth rank, it is sufficient to directly say the fourth rank.The upper level will specifically explain that when it is called Zheng Sipin Shang, it must be called Zheng Sipin Shang.In addition, Yushitai was a supervisory institution in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Zuodu Yushi began in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.What is mentioned in the article is the "supervisor" procuratorate, which is different from it.The overall structure of Yushitai was modified by the author himself, so there is no need to study it carefully.

Above, answer to the little angels who have doubts.If you have other questions and suggestions, please feel free to write them in the message.

Everyone is welcome to send (tu) words (cao), bow and thank you~
