Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 166 Departure
And on the second day after the huge wild boar entered the city, an envoy from the Yellow Gate came to Qingqi Garden to declare:

"Zhongshumen's system says: I have a son of Jiang, who is talented and agile, and always thinks of serving the country... I have repeatedly overcome adversity and settled chaos in Yousi, and I have praised you from top to bottom...Specially to promote virtuous talents, so that talents can be used. Granted to the imperial court (Zheng Qi) Grade [-]), except for the left inspector of Yushitai Palace (upper grade [-]), and the right Jin Wuling Wei Zhonglang’s official recorder (lower grade [-])...don’t investigate it for use, and stop it.”

"I obey the decree." Jiang Tian bowed slightly, as a basic respect for the imperial power of this era; then he raised his hand to accept the imperial decree.

However, when the Huangmen envoy saw Jiang Tian's reaction, he frowned fleetingly; but when he saw Pei Wuben, the secretary of state who was accompanying him, he smiled again and said, "Congratulations to Jiang Lu." It’s over, I’m afraid it will be of great use in both Xiantai and Jinwuwei.”

And with this edict, it also represents that Jiang Tian and his previous predecessor, the identity belonging to Gao Ziming, have been completely separated and severed, and have been officially endorsed and confirmed by the court; Take this matter as an article.

However, before Jiang Tian ordered someone to stuff the envoy money; the envoy from the Yellow Gate took out another silk scroll from his cuff, which was slightly smaller and had a slightly different shape of sealing paste. But he said seriously: "Jiang Lushi, please accept the internal order."

After everyone regained their posture, he continued to speak in a high-pitched voice, "Shang said, sometimes there is a small night, to harm the capital, to confuse people's hearts, and to harm the sanctity... It is ordered not to set up a 'Qing Zhengsi', Select cadres, set things right, set the record straight...everyone who is below the fifth rank in the capital and the sixth rank in foreign officials should cooperate...doing things is cheap, and must not be violated."

"Si Jiang's family, Bowen, memorized, brave and extraordinary, can be Zuo." However, he looked up at Jiang Tian again, and then sighed after finishing reading: "Qing Zhengsi's commission, Jiang Lushi is the leader. This one, it can be seen how much the holy family has in mind; I hope that I will repay you in the future."

"Adhering to the imperial decree, you should use your life." Jiang Tian couldn't help expressing his position clearly after hearing this: Compared with the previous formal edict, this internal edict/slanted imperial edict is the real one. Where the meat is.Immediately, Lao Gu offered a plate of order money, and the other party did not refuse.

And Pei Wuben, the secretary of state who had been silent all the time, nodded reservedly to Jiang Tian, ​​saying that there is no big problem with the rules in the edict; after all, under the disputes between the officialdom and the court, even if a word is wrong, It may also be a thousand miles away and make the difference between life and death.

Therefore, he came here according to the instructions of the Patriarch of the Pei family, that is, to prevent someone from playing tricks on such details; It will be convenient for more exchanges and exchanges in the future.

Of course, at present, I'm afraid it's just a matter of setting the framework and title of a new department.The specific affiliation and staffing, budgeting, scope of jurisdiction and the resulting stakes, I am afraid that it will take some time to adjust/tear between the big shots in the court.

Moreover, the establishment of Qing Zhengsi was actually out of internal order, which also means that the Zhengshitang will not take the blame for future incidents.But in any case, there is such a title and reason; next, Jiang Tian can justifiably start first and gather a group of people who are working hard for it.

He immediately sat in the study, and after thinking quietly for a while, he was writing down the names of several types of needs and candidates.Then someone sent out a copy and handed it over to the Pei Mansion as a report, and also used it to inquire about the recent whereabouts and whereabouts of these people.

After all, since the Pei family has spared no effort to tie themselves and the public platform, why can't they give feedback?At least, the candidate recommended by such a friendly force is more reliable than other cats and dogs who have never met before, right?

However the next day.After receiving such a directory, the Pei family certainly did not dare to neglect it; it was immediately presented to Pei Wuben.However, when he was about to explain himself and arrange for someone to go down to make arrangements, he unexpectedly saw the "sister" who came forward on his own initiative, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Hui Xiang, are you feeling better? Why did you come out so soon, and you're not in the back garden?" Have a good rest."

"Of course I'm much better, and I can't lie down anymore, so I want to find something to do, and share some work for my brother and the family." Sister, who felt that her body had recovered, said without hesitation: "I heard Said, this is from the gentleman in Qingqi Garden? Can you take a look with me?"

"Forget it!" Pei Wuben was a little confused when he heard the words, but he handed them over without hesitation: "It's all something that interferes with the court, you can just take a look, and just don't spread it to outsiders."

"Brother, I have something to ask." Then, the elder sister who had finished reading the content in a few seconds, suddenly pleaded: "Can you tell your lord that I will handle this matter."

"This, I'm afraid there is something wrong!" Pei Wuben hesitated when he heard the words: "You have just cultivated, how can you be so worried and troubled? What's more, this is still assigned by that person..."

"Because it was assigned by that person, I want to do my best, and it's also a kind of reward." Sister raised her eyebrows immediately, and argued eagerly: "At least, I can also be a candidate for my family." , take good care of one or two."

"Since this is the case, the matter is of great importance, let me ask Aye, and then make a fuss about it." Pei Wuben listened, but looked at it in surprise, as if there was some younger sister who took the initiative to ask questions uncharacteristically; he seemed to have a faint sense of what it meant, and immediately Zhanyan smiled and said:

In fact, that night five days ago, when he was enjoying himself, he also felt something.The younger sister who seemed to have suffered a lot physically and mentally, suddenly regained her spirit of recovery without medicine; and on the outer wall of the back garden of Pei Mansion, a thief who had escaped from Xingqing Palace was also caught.

However, since the retired old man in the family has said "it's rare to be confused", why does his elder brother bother to make people hate him, deliberately expose and investigate this matter?In fact, he temporarily sent all the servants who were on duty that night to the manor outside the city.

Then, following the reply of the Patriarch of the Pei family in Ju Shoutang, all the people in the outer house came after hearing the sound, and gathered in front of Auntie, waiting to be dispatched... At the same time, Jiang Tian was riding in a private carriage, So he embarked on the road to Dongdu.

That's right, the establishment of Qing Zhengsi this time is not in Chang'an City, Xijing, but in Luoyang, the eastern capital where the emperor resides; therefore, it is necessary for Jiang Tian to go to take up his post and thank you.Therefore, this is also the first time Jiang Tian came to this world and left this capital city to travel far away.

But on the eve of leaving.Taking advantage of the night practice, he took a bunch of freshly picked flowers from the Hibiscus Garden and took the time to go to the back garden of Pei Mansion in the north of the city.It is not only the visit and greeting after a short time, but also the secret entrustment of those people and things in Qingqi Garden.

I wanted to say a few words through the window and leave.In the end, facing the elder sister who came out to greet her without hesitation in only a thin little dress and a transparent nightgown, Jiang Tian went to sit in her dormitory with great hospitality; and then lingered for more than an hour , before returning with a dewy body.

Originally, on the straight (relaxed) road to Dongdu, there were official carriages and military carriages that came and went regularly; they were requisitioned and dispatched at any time.However, since there is no particularly tight deadline, Jiang Tian doesn't mind making his trip more comfortable, so he uses a private carriage.

Although, the chariot and horse dealership in Chang'an City is already an extremely large industry.According to the needs of people with different identities and ranks, we can provide horse-drawn carriages of different grades.However, despite the kindness of the Pei family, Jiang Tian still got into the private carriage specially provided by the other party.

It was only after getting in the carriage that Jiang Tian realized that it clearly belonged to the car that belonged to Koda Ya at the time, and even the repaired place of the broken lamp holder was still vague.It's just that all the ostentatious exterior decorations have been removed, making it look a bit unpretentious and refreshing.

However, the inside is quite roomy and comfortable.The floor is covered with velvet carpets, the walls are carved with lacquer, inlaid with lamp branches and shelves; and the corners are wrapped with silk cloth to prevent collisions.The inside is furnished with all kinds of small pieces with complete functions, which are divided into two parts: rest and living.

In addition, there is a small bucket for horse feed, spare parts and other things at the back of the car.Pulling the cart are two muscular and full-bodied draft horses, both walking and accelerating smoothly.In addition, Jiang Tian's mount Sa Luzi was hung up, in case the car was boring, and he could come out and ride for a while.

And the driver of the car was none other than Li Huan, who was in charge of leading the team during the safari.Of course, in the words of his new self-introduction: In the safari, there was such a big accident, he couldn't shirk his responsibility, so he invited him to go, and turned to Pei's subordinates as a token of atonement.

Jiang Tian is also well aware of this, and this is obviously the first candidate recommended to him by the Pei family before he took office.But Jiang Tian has to accept this sentiment, because there is such a person who specializes in outdoor activities, which can undoubtedly save a lot of trouble and worry during the journey.

However, there was another person in this trip.It was Zhang Wusheng, the younger brother of Jinwu who explored and cracked Fan Lou together.It's just that now he has also been promoted from Huochang to team deputy; then he was appointed by Lingwei Zhonglang's mansion to Jiang Tian as the servant who went to Luodu office.

And the dispatch of such an acquaintance who had fought side by side undoubtedly also represented a certain attitude and standpoint from the left and right Jinwu Guards.However, after the carriage drove out of Guangxia Gate, they "just happened to" meet Murong Wu and others who were going to the Eastern Capital on business at the Caoting for a routine farewell three miles away from the city.

Well, these three families of Yushitai, Jinwuwei, and Peifu have all gathered together under Jiang Tian's command, and they can play a table of leaf games (mahjong).
