Lord Yuan

Chapter 77 Reopening the position of servant
Luoyang, Shangshutai.

This huge institution that symbolized the glorious history of the Han Dynasty gradually began to show its decline.

Grand Tutor Chen Fan's work of recording Shangshu and increasing his title caused all the memorials presented by lower-level officials to be sent to Tai Fu's house.

Yuan Shao thought he was already accustomed to the rather leisurely official position of Minister.

Unexpectedly, this is really leisurely, so leisurely that it’s a bit ridiculous.

Others are eating public food and doing nothing.

Their Shangshutai is good, they are all eating public food and have nothing to do.

Fortunately, the chief of the Shangshutai is Yin Xun, one of the Eight Gus, and his moral conduct is unparalleled in the world.

Yuan Shao had nothing to do, so he went to talk to Yin Xun.

At the beginning, Yin Xun always cited busy business as an excuse.

Yuan Shao was not surprised by this. Anyone who holds the position of Shangshu Ling would feel helpless looking at the unmotivated officials at all levels under his command.

Until Yuan Shao casually told him that his teacher was now Yongle Shaofu, surprise suddenly appeared on his usually calm face.

"Could your teacher be Li Ying and Li Yuanli?" Yin Xun was quite surprised and stared blankly at the young man in front of him who looked very dignified.

Compared with those officials who stick to their own jobs, he actually noticed this young man very early on who seemed to like to find things to do on his own initiative.

It is a good thing for young people to be energetic.

Yuan Shao was not surprised by this.

The teacher's reputation may not be prominent in the Luoyang court, and may even attract the hatred of some officials.

But in the hearts of Han scholars, the presence of a teacher is like a bright light that can never be extinguished, allowing the scholars to always stick to their true intentions and use it as a model for learning.

Li Ying ranks first among the eight princes and has always been sought after by countless scholars.

Even Bagu, who is among the famous celebrities, is no exception.

Yuan Shao naturally couldn't act as if he were taking it for granted. His pupils were huge and he trembled with some surprise: "Does Shangshu Yin know about my master?"

"That's natural." Yin Xun nodded with a kind face, and even Yuan Shao, who was harassing him all day long, became much kinder.

"I just mentioned it accidentally. I am not trying to attract the attention of Shangshu Ling as my teacher. I hope you will forgive me. If I disturb Shangshu Ling, I will go about my business."

A flash of panic flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he pretended to give up.

When Yin Xun saw this, how could he make Yuan Shao fulfill his wish?

Then he shook his head and called the left and right ministers to sit down.

"This is a student of Li Yuanli, who is now my Minister of Secretariat. What do you two think about it?" Yin Xun smiled, which made people feel the spring breeze.

The left and right ministers were over forty years old, and they were all adjutants of the ministerial order.

As for Shangshu Pushe, according to Yin Shangshu himself, this has always been arranged by senior officials and ministers, and it is almost an unwritten rule of the Shangshu Taiwan.

Therefore, Yin Xun actually did not choose to arrange for Shangshu Pushe to do anything in many cases, and allowed him to do nothing at home.

He was specially promoted from the civil service to serve as two left and right ministers for his own use.

Now that he heard that the young man sitting in front of him was a student of Li Yuanli, his expression suddenly became solemn and solemn.

"Since he is a student of Shaofu Li, he must be very talented and quick at learning. It would be better to join the civil service, where daily affairs would be relatively free."

"Seconded."

The left and right ministers are in front of each other.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao suddenly became unhappy.

He is not here for a vacation. He needs to arouse enough interest in Yin Xun during this period and draw a closer relationship with him.

Only in this way can Yuan Shao use various means to get the opportunity to issue an edict.

The Minister and the Prime Minister don't know why.

On the contrary, Yin Xun immediately shook his head: "Shilang Yuan has come to my place no less than ten times in the past few days. What he said was that he wanted to work more, but what you two said was to push him away. Outside." Yin Xun pressed his hands, closed his eyes and thought.

"In my opinion, since the Minister of Public Affairs is always too busy with official duties, it would be better to add another servant and divide them into left and right servants, so as to reduce his hard work."

"I don't know what they think."

Yin Xun seemed to be talking about an ordinary thing.

But in the ears of Zuo Cheng, it was as shocking as a thunder on the ground.

Shangshu Pushe is not an ordinary low-level official.

With six hundred stones, he usually does a lot of work, such as approving leave notes, distributing salaries to officials at the Shangshutai, locking doors and households, and many other duties.

If the minister's order is not available at the time, there will be a servant of the minister to take charge of it.

Therefore, those high-ranking officials and ministers all want to use their operations to recruit people to serve as ministers and servants.

This is a good way to get first-hand information about the edict.

But now, his immediate superior, Yin Xun, the chief of Shangshu Ling, has chosen to open another servant at this juncture, diluting the power of the former servant.

Obviously, this is Yin Xun's dissatisfaction with the former servant, and it has been written on his face.

The left and right ministers were very taboo about this.

After looking around and seeing no one, he whispered in a very low voice: "When a new official position is opened, it often has to go through the Taifu or the current majesty. Doesn't this move of the minister mean that Zhao Pushe is being roasted on the fire?"

"Yes, it is possible that the Minister does not know who is behind it. It would not be a wise move to offend him for this."

Yin Xun's expression suddenly changed, and anyone could see that his anger was building up.

"I am the minister, and I have this authority. Don't talk about reinstating a servant, or demoting him."

Yin Xun became more and more angry. Seeing the timid attitude of the promoted official in front of him, he suddenly became angry.

This is not the situation he wants.

Then he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I am doing this for the chancellery, not for myself. Don't try to dissuade me. Even if Zhao servant is here, I will still do it."

In this regard, the left and right ministers had nothing to say and could only nod dejectedly.

Yin Xun immediately looked at Yuan Shao, who seemed to be quite touched by this, and was a little surprised.

He opened his mouth and asked, "What are you thinking, Mr. Yuan? How do I feel about this move?"

Yuan Shao didn't expect that Yin Xun would be so courageous, so he directly chose to draw out the salary from the bottom of the cauldron.

Looking at this posture, it is obvious that before I come, the Zhao Pushe mentioned in his mouth is deeply disgusted by Yin Xun.

Today I am just using this excuse of my own to open up a lot of room for discussion.

Yuan Shao did not dare to neglect, and then spoke slowly: "The Shangshu Terrace is a busy place. Officials at all levels must work together to make the Shangshu Terrace run normally. If Zhao Pushe is really busy with things and cannot escape, the Shangshu It is reasonable to order the memorial to reopen the left and right shooting."

Yin Xun's face softened slightly.

But the left and right Cheng was shocked when he heard this.

This young man is still too young to understand the ups and downs of officialdom.

Yin Xun is the minister, and his position is low and powerful. What's more, with the Yin family behind him, his power is not afraid of Zhao Pushe.

In addition, Yin Shangshu Ling was ranked as one of the Eight Gus among the scholar class, and his reputation was outstanding.

And you, although you are a student of Li Yuanli.

But I don't know.

The truth is beyond reach.

If Zhao Pushe knew what he was doing, it would definitely be a troublesome matter.
