Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

Finally, Sheng Xiaoqi also visited Sheng Changbai under the leadership of the envoy.

In any case, after Sheng Changbai came back, these brothers and sisters could come and visit Sheng Changbai.

Sheng Changbai is still a little relieved, it is worthwhile for Sheng Changbai to worry a lot about these younger brothers and sisters.

At the third quarter of Shen Shi, Sheng Changbai finally waited for Sheng Hong to come back.

Sheng Hong traveled in a horse-drawn carriage, and because of the traffic jam, it inevitably took longer than Sheng Changbai's commute on horseback.

"Greetings to father."

After Sheng Hong went to Weirui Xuan, Sheng Changbai also looked for him.

"Father heard about what you did in Xuzhou, and advised farmers to cultivate mulberry trees, build rivers and embankments, and serve as an official can benefit one party. It has lived up to the family motto of our Sheng family, which has been taught by my father for so many years."

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Sheng Hong still wants to put on airs like an old father.

"It's good that I didn't disappoint my father." After coping with it, Sheng Changbai began to ask: "Father, I was doing well in Xuzhou, why was I suddenly transferred back to the capital?"

"Let's go to the study and talk." Sheng Hong said after pondering for a while.

"Dongrong, go out and watch, don't let people come to the study."

After arriving at the study, Sheng Hong ordered Dong Rong to say.

Coming to the study again, and asking Dongrong to guard the door, Sheng Hong looked like he wanted to say something private.

"Bai'er, this time you were asked to return to Beijing because of the official's name." Sheng Hong said with a serious face.

"For no reason, why did the officials think of me?"

Although Sheng Changbai has the right to report to the emperor, there is no conflict between Sheng Changbai and Huang Zhizhou.

Apart from a routine memorial to the emperor, he did not have any personal communication with the emperor.

A small general judgment released to the outside world is not worth worrying about by the already battered old emperor.

"Because you have made good political achievements in Xuzhou, my in-laws and I entrusted someone to say a few good words for you in front of the officials. We thought it would save you some time. I didn't expect the officials to listen to you. After that, I thought of you and wanted to call you back to Beijing."

"Mokan" is the assessment of civil and military officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is in charge of the state government and the chief of the Baisi. There is a small test every year and a big test every three years. According to "goodness" is the behavior and morality, and "best" is the ability to handle affairs, points are used. The method is divided into nine grades and injected into the examination certificate, and the advancement and retreat of officials are determined according to the performance appraisal at the expiration of the period.

Dazhou set up a court of justice to preside over the evaluation and promotion of officials, but most of the officials above the Beijing Dynasty had to be promoted by the emperor himself.

Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai's father-in-law were obviously kind, and wanted the old emperor to help Sheng Changbai move to a higher level of official.

Unexpectedly, this kind word reminded the emperor of Sheng Changbai.

"Father, why bother you and me in the future, Lord Taishan? I haven't reached the crown yet, and my position is too high at a young age. It may not be a good thing."

When Sheng Changbai said it, it was inevitable that he had some dissatisfaction.

"Changbai, no matter what, it's a good thing that you can return to Beijing. How do I see you still not willing?"

Sheng Changbai's displeasure was also heard by Sheng Hong.

"I still have a lot of unfinished business in Xuzhou. Of course I won't be reconciled if I haven't finished everything. Besides, there is no place for peace in the current situation in the capital."

After hearing what the old emperor meant, Sheng Changbai was even more unhappy.Sheng Changbai really didn't want to get involved with the current old emperor.

When the old emperor was young, he was still benevolent, diligent, and caring for the people, and he was considered a qualified emperor.

But after the death of his sons, the old emperor has only one benevolence left.

The whole day is spent playing Tai Chi with the ministers in the hall, trying to delay the establishment of the reserve.

Not doing any serious business, arguing about these things all day long is not nourishing at all. Sheng Changbai playing with the old emperor is obviously a waste of time.

"You are at peace locally, but haven't you missed this opportunity to 'change the world'?"

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, after the new emperor takes office, there must be a big wave of job adjustments.

Therefore, neutral factions like Sheng Hong, even if they knew the situation in Bianliang was dangerous, wanted to stay in Bianjing one by one.

When the new emperor wants to clear out the old ministers of the previous court, it is better to be close to the water and get a chance first.

The emperor couldn't think of those officials who were released outside.

"Forget it, father, do you know how the officials will arrange me?"

Sheng Hong was still very much an official fan, and Sheng Changbai told Sheng Hong that he didn't care, and Sheng Hong would not support him, so Sheng Changbai stopped talking about it and asked about his new position.

"In the past few days, I also asked someone to inquire about the tone of the official family. The official family seems to want you to be a censor."

"I have always been cautious in my words since I became an official, and I seldom submit memorials. How can I look like an official?"

Sheng Changbai didn't think that he didn't like to talk, and the emperor wanted to make himself a troll.

"Maybe it's because of you that the officials have taken a fancy to you. In the pre-selection of officials, three things are the most important. The first is not to love wealth, the second is to cherish fame and integrity, and the third is to know the governance system. It is also because you meet all the conditions. , the officials will want to transfer you to Yushitai."

According to what Sheng Hong said, Sheng Changbai is actually quite suitable in terms of integrity, character, and political experience.

"Father, is there any room for maneuver in this matter?"

Sheng Changbai himself could not influence the emperor, so he could only let Sheng Hong think of a way.

"The official family is satisfied, so there is no room for maneuver. The official family chose you as the speaker because they believe in your character. The speaker is also noble, and others can't ask for it. What else do you not want to do?"

Although the censor is an offending position, it is indeed a good position, with a humble position, one can criticize the prime minister at the top, and the county magistrate at the bottom.

The remuneration is also high, the salary and subsidies are also large, and you can also invite people to be famous in Shilin by swearing.

Fearless of the powerful, upright and upright, dedicated to the public, caring for the common people, as long as he catches the wind and finds a few people in power to scold them for their scandals.

You can gain a huge reputation among the Shilin people.

But this time is definitely not a good time. The officials that the old emperor needs at this time must be against the civil and military kings of the Manchu Dynasty, King Yong and King Yan.

Doing the censor according to the old emperor's will is against Sheng Changbai's original intention.

Not following the old emperor's wishes, of course the old emperor is unwilling, and he doesn't know how to make things difficult.

"The officials transferred me to Yushitai at this time. They must want me to speak up for him and do the right thing in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. How can I do this job?"

Establishing a reserve as soon as possible is in the interests of everyone except the old emperor.

Sheng Changbai thought about it, and the old emperor thought of himself at this moment.

Maybe it was back in the imperial examinations, in order to get a better ranking, when Sheng Changbai wrote the policy theory, his attitude towards the establishment of the reserve was a bit ambiguous.

Let the old emperor think that Sheng Changbai is an imperial party, a pure minister, and the future troubles left behind.

Thinking that this incident might have been buried by Sheng Changbai himself, Sheng Changbai couldn't blame Sheng Hong and his future father-in-law for showing his merits in front of the emperor at this time, and accidentally buried it with soil.

Having said this, Sheng Hong also understood that this is not a good job for Sheng Changbai: "After taking office, you just keep it as it is and continue to be cautious in your words and deeds. After that, let's think of a way to find a time to call out Yushitai as soon as possible. gone."

"It can only be so."

Originally, it was a pleasure to be a professional troller, but because the timing was not right, it was a pity that I couldn't spread the troll as much as I wanted.

"Now that you have returned to Beijing, your marriage with the Hai family should be put on the agenda. The official family's health doesn't seem to be in good shape recently. Only when you and the Hai family complete the wedding as soon as possible can people feel at ease. It will be delayed by some accident, and it will be delayed for too long.

You should stop using your age as an excuse, Weifu and Master Hai both mean this now, and this is also an important reason why the two of us want you to return to Beijing to serve. "

What Sheng Hong said was somewhat cryptic.

But the meaning is not difficult for people to understand. If the old emperor dies, it is a national mourning.

A commoner's family even has to mourn for the emperor, and is not allowed to feast or marry within a hundred days.

The officials of the Sheng family, who were able to serve as officials, were considered to have received a lot of favor from the emperor.

Be careful, no matter what, you have to break off the one-year marriage, and show gratitude and respect to the emperor.

In case the old emperor didn't know when he would pass away, Sheng Changbai's plan to get married next year after his [-]th birthday could not wait any longer, so the marriage had to be arranged as early as possible.

"Listen to father's arrangement."

There was really no room for refutation, so Sheng Changbai agreed.

The next day, Sheng Changbai entered the palace, waited for a long time, and finally met the old emperor.

The old emperor's body seems to be getting weaker and weaker. The old Zhao's family has a genetic disease, and the emperor used a lot of cinnabar, mercury, and lead as painting materials in the house decoration. He has lived in this environment surrounded by heavy metals all his life. It's not easy at this age.

In this case, being able to live more than 50 years old is definitely considered a long life.

Encouraged by the emperor, although he didn't say a few words, Sheng Changbai also saw the ardent hope of the old emperor.

I hope that any courtier who persecutes the emperor severely, Sheng Changbai will find some faults and complain back.

"Promote Dr. Taichang, Xuzhou Tong judged Sheng Changbai as Dali Zheng, and supervised the censor."

Now Sheng Changbai's sending salary officer and the serving officer have all become Cong Qipin.

The old emperor raised Sheng Changbai's salary again.

It has increased a bit, but not much, and it is only a few pennies per month. If Sheng Changbai wants to go against his heart and fight against the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this little bargaining chip is far from enough.

Although Sheng Changbai also sympathized with the old emperor, none of his biological sons grew up and all died young.

But since he lost his own son, he should adopt other people's children earlier.

I can't do it myself, and I'm not willing to adopt my eldest nephew. The country I created has not developed for several years, and there is constant internal friction just for the position of a prince.

An unhappy person affects the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Thinking about it, there is no need to sympathize with the old emperor too much.

Sheng Changbai, the newly appointed supervisory censor, is mainly responsible for supervising the Ministry of Rites.

Although the Ministry of Rites is not low in the ranking of the six departments, it is indeed a department with little real power and mundane affairs in normal times.

If it hadn't been for the relatively perfect imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty and it had been assigned to the management of the Ministry of Rites, there would only be one Qinggui left in the Ministry of Rites.

Not thinking of the emperor's promotion, after Sheng Changbai took office.

The first thing is to remonstrate. The old emperor himself is not in line with etiquette. He is so old and does not set up a reserve for the country. The country has no heirs, so how can the court be stable.

The old emperor assigned Sheng Changbai this position, which is indeed suitable for finding fault.

The civil and military officials are all ordinary people, none of them are saints, so how can anyone not find something that is not in line with etiquette.

Some small details, some small mistakes, nothing happens in normal times.

But when the emperor wants to recruit people, the mistakes in morality and etiquette are enough for the emperor to dismiss officials.

The emperor gave Sheng Changbai this position, so it was impossible for Sheng Changbai to take advantage of it completely.

But Sheng Changbai can make his own choice about which officials to join.

Unwilling to mess around, Sheng Changbai could only find a few happy, disheveled corpses, greedy and insatiable, and throw them to the emperor to vent his anger.

All officials can file a complaint, but the advantage of a spokesperson is that they can report on rumors. They only need to catch wind and shadows, and they can sue without evidence.

After the complaint, the emperor nodded, and others will investigate the evidence

Just spread the word and not be responsible for the evidence. It's still very cool to do this kind of thing.

There are still very few people who do not make mistakes at all, even an official can restrain himself well.

But it may not be able to restrain the family and clan members. If someone in the family and clan makes mistakes, the officials themselves can also be implicated.

Even among the officials, the Sheng family has a relatively high moral bottom line.

But if you really want to go to the Sheng family to find faults and investigate, you can find a lot of mistakes.

Apart from other things, Sheng Hong's brother-in-law, the Kang family, killed many people in the backyard. Sheng Hong did a lot of work to help the Kang family cover up, which is enough to be regarded as a perversion of the law.

Therefore, it is necessary to have high moral standards for the officials, otherwise the officials have to cooperate with the emperor to bite, and it is easy to make everyone feel insecure and panic.

On the court side, Sheng Changbai handed over several people to vent his anger on the emperor.

After the first fire was set on Yushitai, the old emperor was temporarily dealt with.

Sheng Changbai began to care about family affairs again, and Sheng Changbai cared mainly about other people's affairs.

Sheng Changbai didn't need to worry about his own marriage, it was Wang Ruofu who took care of it.

The most recent thing at home is that Mo Lan's wedding ceremony is coming soon.

"Mother, you can temporarily suspend my wedding preparations. Mo Lan's wedding ceremony needs you to take care of it."

The daughter's Ji Ji ceremony mainly involves changing her childhood hair style, twisting her hair into a bun, wrapping the bun with a bun, and inserting the bun with a hair stick.

The head of the ceremony is the female parent, and the female guest invited is the girl's Jiaji, which means that the woman can marry when she is an adult.

There are more female guests and the status is higher, so the women who do the ceremony will naturally have more face.

This kind of thing should have been handled by Wang Ruofu, but Lin Xishuang was just a concubine, so she was not qualified to handle this kind of thing.

But Wang Ruofu still has too much grievances with Lin Aoshuang, so he is not willing to take care of Lin Aoshuang's daughter Mo Lan.

Just thought that Sheng Changbai was too busy preparing for the wedding, and planned to omit Mo Lan's wedding ceremony.

Mo Lan and Lin Haoshuang think that they have never been weaker than others in their lives, and they will not accept Mo Lan's gift wherever they can.

Lin Aoshuang couldn't hold Wang Ruofu, but she could hold Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong went to Wang Ruofu again, but Wang Ruofu declined, Lin Aoshuang made trouble with Hong Lang again, and the cycle went on and on, and the family broke out again.
