Han family achievements

Chapter 123 Invitation

The second morning.

The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was jingled, and the concierge just woke up, and shouted through the door: "Prime Minister doesn't see any guests, please come back."

"Please inform me, Cheng Luoyang is here to ask to see Luoyang Ling." The person outside the door said loudly.

The concierge was taken aback, this was the first time someone came to look for Wang Lang, and it was Luoyang Cheng again, so he had no choice but to say: "Wait."

He sent someone to communicate inside, and after a while, the door was opened.

A middle-aged man with pale complexion and big eyes strode in.

The concierge instantly felt that this person was approaching menacingly, so he didn't dare to be careless, and led him to Wang Lang's small courtyard.

Wang Lang has always had the habit of getting up early, and he was practicing sword at this time, waiting for Luoyang Cheng to approach, still gesticulating.

"The next official, Luoyang Cheng Yintong, has seen the county magistrate." Yin Tong raised her hand, neither humble nor overbearing.

Wang Lang practiced for a long time before putting away his sword, wiped his sweat with a towel, and said, "Nanyang people?"

"Yes." Yin Tong said.

The aristocratic families from Nanyang are no worse than Yingchuan or other places. Simply put, the founding emperor Liu Xiu and empress Yin Lihua are all from Nanyang.For another example, He Jin, the former general, and Empress Dowager He, the current empress dowager, are also from Nanyang.

The corner of Wang Lang's generous face was expressionless, he looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"

Yin Tong's expression sank, he held up a memorial book, and said: "The impeachment of the eighteen major crimes by the lower officials is like a mud cow entering the sea, without any fluctuations. I specially ask the county magistrate Wang to sign it together with the lower officials."

Wang Lang stared at him for a long time, then stretched out his hand to take it, opened his eyes, and then looked up at Yin Tong.

Yin Tong sullenly raised her hand and looked at him.

This is the memorial to the impeachment of Wang Yun.

Wang Lang closed the official document, pondering for a long time, and said: "The so-called arbitrariness of power, chaos in the country, anyone can be detained, and there is no way to convict them. As for what you said about conniving domestic slaves to commit crimes and occupy people's fields, the court has closed the case."

Yin Tong said: "That's an unjust, false and wrong case concluded by the Tingwei's House in fear of Wang Yun's power. I implore the county magistrate to write to His Majesty together with the subordinate officials. The subordinate officials speak lightly, but the county magistrate is different. He comes from a famous family and is an aide of the prime minister's residence. Once the letter is written, it will definitely attract the attention of the government and the public. The treacherous and sycophant will be eliminated, and the court will be upright!"

Hearing the word "the attention of the government and the public", Wang Lang's eyes were slightly cold, and he handed the memorandum back, saying: "I won't sign it with you, find someone else."

Yin Tong suddenly straightened his back, and with a loud voice, he said loudly: "Magistrate Wang, is it possible that he is also afraid of Wang Yun's power? Or is it that even famous people in the East China Sea want to cling to such traitors!"

The voice was loud, and it was early in the morning, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion could hear it.

Wang Lang's expression remained unchanged, he just turned around and said, "Seeing off the guests."

Yin Tong laughed, and said sadly and angrily: "What kind of celebrity in the East China Sea has a false name, I, Yin Tong, don't bother to be with him!"

Saying that, he took off the jade pendant around his waist, threw it on the ground, and said: "This official, you don't need to do it!"

After speaking, he strode away.

Wang Lang walked a few steps, with an ugly expression, suppressing his anger.

Yang Biao hurried over while wearing his belt, and said, "Look, look, this man has gained a good reputation in just one cup of tea time. When this matter is over, some people will invite him to be an official. If you leave Luoyang first and go to various states and counties, the state shepherds, governors, and eunuchs will compete to invite you and be treated as guests, the future is really limitless..."

Wang Lang turned his head and saw that he was still wearing the belt, and said expressionlessly: "The play is over, and the cynicism is also finished. When you finish wearing the belt, I will also leave you an impeachment note, and go away."

Yang Biao immediately put down his belt, his fat face was trembling with a smile, and he said, "It's rare to see your jokes about Wang Jingxing... Well, don't get angry, when you become an official, there will be more headaches."

Wang Lang frowned and wrinkled, slowly recovered his expression, wiped his sweat with a towel, his eyes somewhat cold.

Before he took office, he became a stepping stone for his subordinates to invite their names.

Yang Biao stood beside him, restrained his smile, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Wang Lang wiped his face, looked at the sky outside the courtyard, and said: "If you don't do it, you will be fine, if you do it, it will be amazing!"

"Tell me specifically." Yang Biao said.It's not easy to be a Luoyang order. With Yin Tong doing this, Wang Lang's situation will be very embarrassing, and he must find a way to break the situation.

Wang Lang glanced at him, turned and entered the room, and said, "Sooner or later you will know."

Yang Biao really wanted to know, but he had to hurry to enter the palace, and shouted at his back: "Then I'll drink with you tonight."

"I will have your big banquet tomorrow." Wang Lang said without turning his head.

Yang Biao was startled, seeing that Wang Lang had already entered, he said to himself, "Big banquet? Which one's big banquet?"

He couldn't think of which family would have a big banquet, and he hadn't received the invitation yet.

Yin Tong came out of the prime minister's mansion, looked back, smiled complacently, turned and went straight to the mansion of Hu Cao Shangshu He Yong.

But He Yong left early, and rushed to the sky, Yin Tong thought for a while, and suddenly said: "That's right, too often!"

He quickly turned around and headed for Taichang Cai Yong's mansion.

One Wang Lang is not enough to establish his reputation.

Cai Yong's reputation is infinitely stronger than Wang Lang's.This person's reputation is not in the officialdom, but in the literary world!

Compared with those great Confucian scholars who are dedicated to studying, Cai Yong is keen on showing off, as long as it is a lively occasion, he is basically indispensable.

Thinking of the excitement, Yin Tong couldn't help touching the official seal in his arms.

Before arriving at Cai's mansion, he raised his eyes and saw a beautiful woman coming out of it, with fair features and watery skin, Yin Tong was fascinated by it, and felt a little reluctant to step on Cai Yong.

But in a blink of an eye, he raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Please inform Cai Xiaoniang, I am..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman waved her hand and said: "I'm not Wen Ji, uncle is not in the mansion." After finishing speaking, she left directly.

Yin Tong stared at the woman's back with fiery eyes.

Then, I saw a plain-clothed woman chasing after her, saying: "Sister, take this back."

Yin Tong looked at the woman who came out, her eyes lit up again, although this woman was wearing a veil, she gave off a fresh feeling like bamboo orchids, especially the sad look in her eyes, I really felt pity for her.

Thinking of Cai Wenji's new widow, Yin Tong's heart suddenly became hot, and he stepped forward with a serious face, raised his hand and said, "Yin Shi from Yingchuan, Cheng Yintong from Luoyang, met Cai Xiaoniang."

Before Cai Yan could react, her cousin pulled her over, pushed her in, and said, "It looks like a disciple, go in quickly, if he acts recklessly, someone will beat him out."

Cai Yan was pushed in and yelled twice.

But her cousin stood at the door, pinched her waist, glared at Yin Tong angrily, and said: "It's you, or I beat you!"

Yin Tong was taken aback, and thought it was Chunlan Qiuzhu, but she didn't expect to be a shrew.

There was a cry of bad luck in my heart, and I became more and more determined to use Cai Yong as a stepping stone, so I snorted, turned and walked back.

Cai Yan, the cousin, chased after her and cursed a few times, and then left after feeling happy.

Yin Tong accumulated a lot of anger in front of the Cai Mansion, and soon came to Taichangwai.

"Sir..."

Before he finished speaking, the guard at the door said annoyedly: "Leave quickly, dare to say more, I will send you to Tingwei Mansion!"

Yin Tong looked at the dozens of guards who came out, immediately recalled the chaos of Taichang yesterday, hesitated in his heart, but still refused to give up, and said: "I am Luoyang Cheng, I want to see Taichang, I have something important to report."

"Don't talk nonsense, go to your county magistrate." No matter how many guards there are, today's idlers can't get too close!

Seeing this, Yin Tong had an ugly expression on her face, while turning around, she was thinking about who would be the most suitable for her.

When he raised his head, he saw Li Ru, Shangshu of Xingcao, leading a group of Xingcao officials, big and small, walking towards Taichang talking.

Yin Tong immediately rushed over and shouted: "The traitor Li Ru! You cling to Wang Yun, frame Zhongliang, and arrest your colleagues. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

Li Ru was stunned and stunned by the sudden scolding.

However, he immediately said, "Take it back."

The Xingcao guards behind him rushed over and were about to push Yin Tong down, and some people had already pulled out their shackles.

Yin Tong was happy and fearless, raised his head and chest, and cursed loudly, saying: "Traitor! Nanyang Yin Tong, I will never join forces with you, if you want to kill or cut, I will listen to you!"

Reckless, Li Ru only regarded him as a redundant official who was cut off, and said indifferently: "Ask clearly, and transfer to Youzhou."

Yin Tong was startled, and shouted even louder: "You are trying to kill me! My Nanyang Yin family will never quit!"

Li Ru frowned, this man speaks so strangely.

But he came here because of yesterday's chaos, he didn't have time to pay attention to Yin Tong, and walked quickly into Taichang.

Yin Tong was still yelling, but was dragged away by the gag after a few words.

Cai Yong is now entangled in various affairs, and seems to remember that Li Ru was a doctor of imperial studies before, and when they met, he ignored the case and started discussing the syllabus instead.

But in the palace at this time, Yang Biao convened various ministers and ministers to discuss the "Policy Outline".

"Government Outline", these four words are enough to explain everything, and it is the foundation of the future governance of the imperial court. Originally, Yang Biao wrote a very vague one, but Liu Bian ruthlessly returned it.

But compared to the great politics of a country, there are too many things that can be debated, especially when it is still a 400-year dynasty, with many bad policies and chaos.

After several days of fighting, the progress was rather slow.

A Zhonghuang door came in, holding a plate of official documents, and said: "Prime Minister, this is today's official document, the playbook."

Yang Biao sullenly, nodded majesticly, just about to reach out to take it, but saw the small yellow door pulled away the three above.

Yang Biao noticed that the name on the top was Wang Lang, and hurriedly said, "Is this for Your Majesty?"

Zhonghuangmen said: "Yes."

For Liu Bian, Yang Biao and others are not qualified to read it.

Yang Biao nodded, thinking about Wang Lang's words in the morning, he became more and more curious about how Wang Lang became a blockbuster.

Inside Jingfu Hall.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there is another world as soon as you get out of bed, Liu Bian has been a little lazy lately.

Tang Ji got dressed early, brought a breakfast and put it beside Liu Bian.

Liu Bian was lying on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, flipping through the playbooks with cold hands, reading so engrossedly that the breakfast had been cold for several times.

I don't know how long it took, but in the numbness of Kuaikan, Liu Bian suddenly regained his composure, froze for a moment, sat up abruptly, put on his clothes in a hurry, and said, "Go to the study."

Pan Yin noticed that what Liu Bian was holding was Wang Lang's memorabilia, and together with Tang Ji, he helped Liu Bian wrap up tightly and hurriedly left the bedroom and came to the study.

Liu Bian went in, looked at the charcoal stove, and said, "Pay attention to the ventilation."

Then he sat on the chair and quietly examined Wang Lang's playbook.

The number of words in the memorial is not many, but the content is very substantial.

Liu Bian frowned, scrutinizing every word.

Pan Yin poured tea for Liu Bian, a strange look flashed in his eyes, it was the first time he saw Liu Bian read a memorial so seriously.

In Wang Lang's memorial, he suggested that Luoyang County should be upgraded to a "fu". You must know that "Fu" is the name of a first-level institution of the imperial court. Even if Luoyang County is upgraded, it should be regarded as a county.

Merge the counties and counties around Luoyang County, the chief officer of Luoyang Prefecture cannot be called Ling or Taishou, but "Yin", who is the sole specialist of the Eastern Capital, and other counties and counties can no longer be used.

In addition, Luoyang Yin was appointed as the lieutenant of Sili to take charge of all civil affairs in Dongdu and Sili except military affairs, such as arresting robbers, reassuring the people, water and fire, etc.

At the same time, the eight gates were restored and elite soldiers were deployed to defend the eastern capital.

……

Liu Bian watched silently, with many thoughts turning in his mind.

Wang Lang's memorandum is really good, it coincides with some of his thoughts, and even mentions some things that he has overlooked.

Sili may not seem big, but nine counties lead to one hundred and one counties, which is really too many counties!
If it is extended to the entire big man, there are thousands of them!

Liu Bian thought for a long time, picked up a pen, and recorded his thoughts.

There are many things that cannot be done overnight and cannot be done for the time being, but he has to write them down so as not to miss them in the future.

Liu Bian was so busy that he ran out of time. It was not until evening that he raised his head from the memorial and official documents, stretched with difficulty, and moved his sore shoulders.

He looked at Pan Yin who was not far away, rubbed the corner of his stiff face, and said, "Tell me something nice."

Pan Yin was startled, thought for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if it counts or not. The prime minister will hold a banquet tomorrow, and the invitation will not be issued until the end of time."

Liu Bian rubbed his shoulders. He also found it interesting when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "The invitations are only sent when it's dark? What kind of banquet is he throwing, and who is he inviting?"

Pan Yin said: "The villain has inquired and said that it is a younger sister's birthday, and the guests are all famous people in Beijing and people from aristocratic families, but none of them are in court."

Liu Bian slowly stopped rubbing his hands on his shoulders, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "This is even more interesting."

The birthday of each younger sister is worthy of the prime minister's banquet, or should the invitation be sent only after dark?Are you still in the wild?
Pan Yin looked at Liu Bian's expression and said, "I heard that Cai Xiaoniang was also invited."

Liu Bian was startled, and looked at him strangely.

Cai Wenji?What is she invited to do?A newly widowed young woman.

Pan Yin was also puzzled, and said, "The villain doesn't know the inside story either."

Liu Bian put his hands behind his back, propped his shoulders up and down vigorously, looked out of the door, and said indifferently: "It's really interesting. Send someone in to see what our prime minister is going to do."

"Yes." Pan Yin answered with lowered head.

Liu Bian moved around for a while, then stood at the door.

"Xun You, are you coming to Jizhou now?" Liu Bian asked.

Xun You sent Ying Shao to be the shepherd of Jizhou.

Pan Yin knew that Liu Bian was concerned about Yanzheng, so he said cautiously: "Based on the distance, it should not have arrived."

Liu Bian hummed, and said, "I'll meet Liu Zhang sometime."

Pan Yin said: "Yes."

"His Majesty,"

At this time, a Zhonghuangmen trotted over and said out of breath: "Your Majesty, servant, said that someone was beaten, and the injury was not serious."

Liu Bian frowned, and immediately said: "Let Wang Lang take office early and deal with it."

Pan Yin listened, hesitating whether to report the trivial incident about Wang Lang in the prime minister's mansion this morning, but before he could figure it out, Zuo Li suddenly trotted over with a nervous expression, and said, "Your Majesty, the students from the Hongdu school are on strike. , There are also people agitating at Taixue."
