Before dawn the next day, Qingzhou Yamen was already bustling.
The Song Prefecture's order quickly asked the officials to work in two groups, one to clean the Qingzhou Yamen, and the other to clean the hotel. That was the place where the prince stayed, so there was no room for sloppiness, and there couldn't be any dust, otherwise the monthly payment would be deducted.
A group of officials silently greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Song Dynasty.
The Song Mansion Ling and the Master even put on their official robes early in the morning and rode carriages to the city gate to prepare to welcome the Crown Prince.
Many Qingzhou bureaucrats had already arrived at the city gate in advance, and they all saluted when they saw the Song government order.
Qingzhou City is such a large city, and naturally there are many bureaucrats, and the division of labor is meticulous.
Under the Qingzhou Yamen, there are nearly a dozen departments, including the Prison Department, the River Protection Department, the Post Office Department, the City Protection Department, the Commercial Taxation Department, and the Agricultural Taxation Department.
For example, the Department of River Protection is responsible for managing rivers. Of course, the function of the Department of River Protection nowadays is not only to manage rivers, but also to catch fish.
If this common man wants to go fishing in the river basin managed by the River Protection Department, he must first pay ten cents in safety money.
I'm afraid that you might accidentally fall into the river. In order to ensure your safety, I will have to send someone to save your life when the time comes.
Ten cents is not too much, right?
Those whose ancestors have been fishing are complaining endlessly.
I've been fishing in the river since I was three years old, am I still afraid of falling into the water? Do you need your help?
What can we do if we don’t give it?
In short, each company has its own way of making money.
However, early this morning, when officials at all levels gathered at the city gate to chat, they discovered that the warden of Qingzhou Prison, Zhou Dafa, was wiping sweat there.
"Brother Zhou, the sun hasn't come out yet? It's not hot either! Why are you sweating so much?"
Zhou Dafa laughed dryly and said that he was recently weak and prone to sweating.
Give a bunch of officials a good laugh.
If you have nothing to do, don't check the box.
Zhou Dafa thought that you should laugh a little while now. It is best to laugh while you can, and quickly find someone to draw a portrait and frame it with better wood.
Qingzhou Yamen will definitely be bloodbathed!
Song Fu Ling did not dare to neglect. After arriving at the city gate, he quickly stood at the front of the team.
After waiting for half an hour, the official who was watching the situation in front gratefully came back to report the news.
"The Crown Prince's team is here!"
Song Fu Ling and others immediately straightened their backs. After a while, they saw Zhao Ziyun and other spies dressed in white tiger robes, each riding a tall horse, guarding the carriage in the middle, heading towards the gate of Qingzhou City.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, Song Fu Ling immediately led a group of bureaucrats to salute.
"Song Zhizhang, the lower official, brings Qingzhou officials to see the crown prince!"
Hearing a cough from the carriage, he said: "Excuse me, I was infected with wind and cold a few days ago. I won't meet you until I recover, so as not to infect you."
Song Zhizhang said hurriedly: "The prince is kind, and the subordinate officials are grateful."
He said again: "Your Majesty is infected with the cold. He should rest soon. The hotel has made arrangements."
"Your Majesty Song is interested, please lead the way!"
"Yes Yes."
Song Zhizhang quickly led the team in front and led Chen Ze towards the hotel.
There were not many people watching the excitement along the way.
Seeing this group of white tiger robes, they were so frightened that they ducked into the alley.
This hotel was built during the Sui Dynasty, and only princes, nobles and imperial ministers were eligible to stay.
The emperor's residence was called a palace. Under normal circumstances, he would not come to barbaric places like the eight southern states, so it was not built.
The hotel is not bad at all. It is divided into four courtyards, southeast, northwest and northwest. It has complete facilities and everything you need.
It can accommodate 1,800 people.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Chen Ze called Song Zhizhang to the side of the carriage, coughed and said, "I haven't recovered from the cold yet, so you don't need to accompany me."
"Yes, yes, everything is at your command."
"Tell me something."
Song Zhizhang hurriedly handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, listen!"
"I've been infected with the cold for a long time and I haven't been able to recover. A few days ago, I asked someone to help me with my fortune telling. It turns out that I shouldn't go out and I didn't pick a good day, so I suffered the disaster."
"The only way to recover is to do something happy."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Today I will host a banquet for officials and famous families in Qingzhou."
"It just so happens that my sixteenth birthday has not yet passed this year. Well, I will hold my sixteenth birthday party in advance today."
"Ah... sixteenth birthday, birthday?"
The coughing in the carriage became louder: "What? Do you have any objections?"
"No, no, Prince, don't worry, I will let someone take care of it right away!"
Chen Ze said again: "No, I will naturally let others handle the banquet. As a parent, you don't have to be busy, just do your own thing well, and then just bring your mouth to eat."
"I will keep everything simple for my sixteenth birthday."
"Yes Yes."
"But when the time comes, those famous families will have to give gifts. No, it will make me seem unkind. Besides, I don't like those antique calligraphy and paintings, especially those with bottles and jars. I hate them very much." Chen Ze He coughed and said again: "Song Fu Ling, please don't send some antique calligraphy and paintings when the time comes. I don't like it, but I think Song Fu Ling will warm my heart."
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand!"
"Okay, let's leave. I'm going to rest first."
Song Zhizhang hurriedly resigned and led a group of bureaucrats away.
Halfway through, a group of bureaucrats were confused.
"ha!?"
"Sixteenth birthday!? There will be a banquet tonight!?"
"Isn't this a fucking bullshit!?"
A group of Qingzhou officials looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
If you don’t like antique calligraphy, paintings and bottles, isn’t it clear that you want money?
It’s so bad, this prince will grab it when he comes up!
"What's the fuss about!?" Song Fu Ling scolded angrily: "From now on, this prince will be in charge of Qingzhou, and all the 10,000 troops in the Qingzhou camp belong to him. Anyone who makes him unhappy will die!"
"Your Majesty, how much do you need to pay for this?" An official smiled bitterly and said, "This is also the first time we have heard about the sixteenth birthday."
Song Fu Ling glared angrily: "How do I know how much to give!?"
After saying that, he ignored everyone, got on the carriage and headed towards the Yamen.
Song Fu Ling also has a headache!
He has been specially taken care of by the Crown Prince, and he must be warmed up by the Crown Prince!
How much does it cost to warm your heart?
Song Fu Ling knew that he must be bleeding heavily.
Of course, what's even more outrageous is...
Before Song Fu Ling returned home, someone sent a message to his family.
"master."
"whats the matter?"
The servant didn't seem to have recovered, and said in a panic: "Bai... the white tiger robe is coming to the door."
Song Fuling's pupils shrank sharply: "What are you doing?"
"Send, send me an invitation to attend the prince's sixteenth birthday."
"..."
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Everyone knows that Prince Zhennan is not a good person, and facts have proven that he is a fucking beast!
I just sent you to the hotel, and then you had the invitation delivered directly to your doorstep! ?
Damn it, this damn thing had been planned for a long time!
