Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

In the second year of Yonghui, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month was the day of wear and tear.

In Xuanyangfang, Wannian County, at the Langya County Mansion diagonally opposite the county government office, white flags were flying and cries of mourning filled the sky.

Niu Jinda, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, passed away.

On that day, the emperor issued an edict: "Those who are in need in areas where there are insects and rivers can receive relief from the Zheng and Yi warehouses. Yong and Tongzhou each send one of their doctors to serve as envoys to ask questions."

In the early Tang Dynasty, there was a court meeting on three days and a court meeting on three days, which meant that one court meeting was avoided.

However, the operations of the various departments remained the same, and important political and state affairs were still handled through the Zhengshi Hall and Liangyi Hall.

It was very rare that Zhengcang was used for relief and loans. It was only the relatively large losses that made Emperor Yonghui make up his mind.

At any rate, Emperor Yonghui was not as temperamental as Taizong, and he was more happy in providing relief.

No way, since the change of Yuan Dynasty, there has been either water here or drought there. Some people are still coveting the throne. If it cannot be stabilized as soon as possible, problems will arise.

If the court doesn't give the victims money and food, they won't be able to recover as quickly as possible, so they can't cover their mouths and prevent them from crying, right?
Emperor Yonghui was murmuring in his heart, is the name Yonghui so big that he can't afford it?
The nineteenth day of the first lunar month.

Huangmen Shilang, Pingchang County Gongyu Wenjie and Yinqing Guanglu, are still the same as the third rank of Zhongshu;
Liu Shi, the minister of the Zhongshu family, is the minister of the Zhongshu family. He is still the same as the third rank of the Zhongshu family.

The word "Shou" in official terminology refers to holding a high position as an official of low rank.

The minister of Zhongshu is in the fourth rank, and Liu Shi's former position as the minister of the Ministry of War is in the lower rank of the fourth rank. The word "Shou" is appropriate.

This time, Liu Shi's rank was officially raised.

In Honglu Temple, Shaoqing wanted to go to Zhu, the temple's prime minister Tian Dazhen, and Dianke made Mugu feel a little unhappy.

The ministers of Zhongshu Province and Menxiasheng can all be regarded as prime ministers with the same rank as Zhongshu Menxiasheng. Why can't their own ministers do the same?
Taking off his captain's hat, Fan Zheng took a sip of He Gouxiong's tea soup, which was neither salty nor bland. He smiled and said, "You guys are really free!"

It really doesn't matter to Fan Zheng whether he should be a member of Tong Zhongshu's third rank.

How can Xiao Fangzheng, who doesn't read much and is almost half-disabled in martial arts, become one of the Nine Qings? His ancestral graves are almost erupting volcanoes, okay?
I have to fight for the name of that prime minister, but I don't want to get a penny more in salary.

Although the restaurant kitchen is indeed good, the official kitchen is not much different. They are also products grown and raised in designated places!
For example, the ducks eaten in the official kitchen are definitely not the ducks whose crops are forcibly stuffed with sand, gravel and chaff from the East and West markets, but the live ducks supplied by the Hook Shield Department of Sinong Temple, with half-empty crops and strong vitality.

For example, today, the eater seals the throat with a knife, lifts the duck's feet and the base of the duck's wings upside down to bleed. After the duck stops struggling, he untucks the duck's neck from under its wings, throws it into a wooden basin, scalds it in boiling water and plucks out its feathers.

Who knew that the duck was stirred by the water, jumped out of the wooden basin, and ran around in panic. The servants chased the duck for more than a mile in a hurry before they finally killed the duck.

Shishou was so frightened that he fell to the ground and begged Fan Zheng to blame him - because half of Hongluqing was covered in duck blood.

If you pay more attention to it and predict good or bad luck based on it, even if your hands are eaten, you will not be able to escape the blame.

Not everyone may believe those mysterious things, but when they want to deal with you, they will definitely believe it!

"Since I know it has happened, make the duck meat more fragrant and let me convict it eloquently."

Fan Zheng spoke seriously.

The eater was sifting the chaff with his hands, and Tian Dazhen kicked him on the butt: "If you don't hurry up and prepare the duck meat, please punish it!"

Silly, couldn't you hear the court official saying it was a "fault" instead of a "crime"?

Shishou was overjoyed, got up and crossed his arms, turned around and ran to the official kitchen.

He wanted to say to Zhu Daqi: "Your Majesty is kind, and I admire you. But, as you are in Honglu Temple, which is in the same line as the Ministry of Rites, and is also in charge of ominous rituals, your Majesty doesn't have any taboos at all?"

Fan Zheng smiled and said: "It's just a taboo, so I have to transcend it."

Laugh out loud.

To be able to hang out in Honglu Temple, you must have some culture. You can't just blend into the official system after being enlightened, right?
Therefore, Fan Zheng's "transcendence" is almost instantly understood.The dozens of people in Honglu Temple who were in the Yamen at this time felt much relieved.

It is not a sin for the court official to eat his hands, he has many benefits, and he will not be picky about it.

If you work under such a court official, you will be able to live a few more years.

The official chef prepared the meal, and the duck was tied into a gourd shape and sent to Fan Zheng's case.

Fan Zheng coughed lightly: "I would like to say a few words: I hope that after the duck is saved by me, it can fly freely in the next life. Eat!"

Just say a few words, and that's just two sentences. Fan doesn't have the bad habit of talking nonsense back and forth.

Under normal circumstances, if any official can talk about something useful for a quarter of an hour without showing off his official authority or talking nonsense, it is a big deal.

The reality is often that people talk endlessly on stage and curse secretly in the audience, spouting tens of thousands of words, but nothing can be summed up.

Fan Zheng was not Lu Feijia, nor was he Lu Jiasheng. He could not defeat the whole gourd duck by himself, so he could only kindly invite Yaochao Zhu, Tian Dazhen and Mugu to cut chopsticks together, which made the officials in the temple feel that the hall officials were close to their subordinates.

Mugu is quite old, and this kind of gourd duck that has been raked badly is what he likes the most.

Some people may avoid eating due to illness, but Mugu was in excellent health. He even returned from Luozucheng, so nothing happened.

Of course, compared with An Xinggui, Tang Jian, and Wang Xuance in the envoy circles, Mugu's achievements cannot be demonstrated.

No way, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty were too unruly.

How can you see the light of stars when the sun is scorching in the sky?

"Your Majesty, in the Dianke Office, two of the guests who accompanied General Xian of Youwu Guard in Kuangji and went to Luoche City in Tubo to pay homage have returned."

Mu Gu set chopsticks.

There are 15 people in charge of the ninth rank of the Dianke Department, and some of them often accompany them on missions but their achievements are not obvious.

No matter what, An Xinggui, Tang Jian, and Wang Xuance are not often found. Officials who can perform their duties normally are extremely difficult.

You know, there are still many officials in the world who are just messing around.

Fan Zheng's voice was calm: "Ask them to come to my father's house tomorrow and report what they saw and heard. Si Cheng will remember to record it in detail."

Tian Dazhen suppressed his smile: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is a holiday!"

Fan Zheng laughed and forgot about this part.

"The morning after tomorrow, remember to write down their merits clearly and pass the exam."

Not to mention Fan Zheng's partiality, the reputation of Shangzhong was almost the highest in the Tang Dynasty, but Mugu knew the difficulty of sending an envoy to Tibet.

Not to mention the road and the hillside, the key thing is that the feeling of wheezing, dizziness and nausea is particularly uncomfortable.

Fan Zheng didn't care where Songtsen Gampo was buried. He wanted to know Princess Wencheng's current situation, the changes in the Tibetan power hierarchy, and whether there were any changes.

No way, this condescending snow leopard is not weak in strength and also occupies a favorable location. Fan Zheng has to be concerned about whether they have the intention to advance eastward.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was a powerful insect with wolves on all sides. If it used all its strength to deal with Goguryeo, its old enemy, it might make Tibet powerful again.

If we take care of both sides, frankly speaking, we can't do it.

Fan Zheng suddenly thought of the mistake made in the first year of Yonghui, and tacitly allowed Tuyuhun to take advantage of Tubo's national mourning to fight back against Tubo, but he lost his righteousness. When Tubo wanted to destroy Tuyuhun in the future, it was really inconvenient for Tang Dynasty to intervene. (End of chapter)
