The day after the giant wild boar entered the city, a Huangmen envoy came to Qingqi Garden and announced:
"Zhongshu Menxiazhi said: I have a son of the Jiang family, who is talented and agile, and always wants to serve the country... He has repeatedly overcome difficulties and settled chaos in Yousi, and has been praised by superiors and subordinates... He specially promotes talents and puts them to good use. He is awarded the imperial court minister (Zheng Qi) (from the top of the eighth rank), in addition to the left patrol judge of the Yushitai Palace (the upper eighth rank), he also serves as the right Jinwu Lingwei Zhonglang General to record the affairs of the mansion (from the seventh rank)... Separate surveys will be used until the edict is given."
"This is my order." Jiang Tian bowed slightly as a basic courtesy to the imperial power of this era; then he raised his hand to receive the imperial edict, which was made of white silk silk.
However, when the Huangmen envoy saw Jiang Tian's reaction, he frowned briefly; but when he saw Pei Wuben, the feudal minister accompanying him, he smiled again and said: "Congratulations to Jiang Lu It’s over, I’m afraid it won’t be used in both Xiantai and Jinwu Guards.”
With this edict, it also means that Jiang Tian is completely separated from his past predecessor, the identity that belonged to Gao Ziming, and has been officially endorsed and confirmed by the court; in theory, no one can do it again in the future. Make a fuss out of this matter.
However, before Jiang Gao ordered people to stuff the messenger money as usual, the Huangmen envoy took out another slightly smaller scroll from his sleeve, and the shape of the seal was slightly different. And Zhengse said: "Jiang Lu, please accept the internal order."
After everyone had regained their posture, he continued to speak in a high-pitched voice: "As I said, there are times when the night is young, which brings harm to the capital, confuses people's hearts, and undermines the saintly virtue... Therefore, there is a special 'Qingzhengsi' in the decree. Select officers to bring order out of chaos, to set the record straight...Everyone who is in the fifth rank of the capital or below the sixth rank of a foreign official must cooperate...act in an expedient manner, and no violation is allowed."
"The people of the Jiang family are knowledgeable and memorized, and are brave and brave. They can serve as assistants." However, he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Tian again, and then sighed after reading: "Qing Zhengsi's commission, Jiang Lu is the first to do it." This share shows how much the Holy Family is in my heart; I hope that I will be able to repay you in the future."
"In order to obey the imperial edict, you should serve your life." After hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but express his position clearly in his heart: Compared with the previous official edict, this internal edict/oblique seal edict is the real one. Where the drama lies. Immediately, Lao Gu offered a plate of money, and the other party did not refuse.
Pei Wuben, the vassal minister who had been silent at the scene, nodded reservedly to Jiang Tian, saying that there was no big problem with this edict; after all, under the disputes in the officialdom and the court, even if one word was wrong, it would be wrong. It is also possible that a misunderstanding may lead to the difference between life and death.
Therefore, he came according to the instructions of the Pei family head, that is, to prevent anyone from using tricks on such details; on the other hand, he also wanted to be familiar with this strange man in the world who had an important relationship with the Pei family in advance; In the future, it will be easier to move around and communicate more easily.
Of course, I'm afraid it's just a matter of deciding on the framework and status of the new department. The specific affiliations and staffing, budgeting, jurisdiction and the interests that extend from this, I'm afraid it will still take some time for the big bosses in the court to get along/fear each other.
Moreover, the establishment of the Qingzhengsi actually came from an internal decree, which also means that if something happens in the future, the political hall will not take the blame. But no matter what, there is such a title and reason; then, Jiang Tian can justifiably start and gather a team of people who are working hard for it.
He immediately sat in the study room, and after thinking quietly for a while, he wrote down several types of names that were needed and available as candidates. Then someone sent a copy to the Pei Mansion for reporting, and also used it to inquire about the recent whereabouts and whereabouts of these people.
After all, since Mr. Pei has spared no effort to build a good relationship with himself and his public platform, why can't he give feedback on it? At least, the candidate recommended by such a goodwill force is more reliable than other cats and dogs whom I have never met, right?
But the next day. After receiving such a list, the Pei Mansion did not dare to neglect it at all; it was immediately presented to Pei Wuben. However, when he was about to explain himself and arrange for someone to go down to take care of it, he unexpectedly saw "Sister" who took the initiative to come. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Huixiang, are you feeling better? Why did you come out so quickly and you are not in the back garden?" Have a good rest?"
"Of course I'm getting better, but I can't lie down anymore, so I want to find something to do, and share the work for my brother and the family." Sister, who felt that her health had recovered, said without hesitation: "I heard Said, this is from the gentleman in Qingqi Garden? Can you take a look at it with me?"
"Forget it!" Pei Wuben was a little confused after hearing this, but he handed it over without hesitation: "These are all things that interfere with the court. You can just take a look at it, and don't spread it outside."
"Brother, I have something to ask of you." Then, the elder sister, who had finished reading the content in a few seconds, suddenly spoke up and begged: "Can you tell me, sir, that you can leave this matter to me?"
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this!" Pei Wuben hesitated when he heard this: "You have just cultivated yourself, how can you be so worried and worried? What's more, this is the one who assigned it..."
"It is precisely because that person asked me to do this that I want to do my best to repay you." Sister A immediately raised her eyebrows and argued eagerly: "At least, I can be a candidate for my family. , take good care of one or two."
"In this case, it's a serious matter, let me ask Aye before we make any calculations." After hearing this, Pei Wuben looked at it with some surprise, as if his sister was uncharacteristically taking the initiative to ask; he seemed to feel something vaguely, and then immediately Zhanyan smiled and said:
In fact, five days ago, when he was having a lot of fun, he also noticed something. The younger sister, who obviously seemed to be suffering from severe physical and mental trauma, suddenly became energetic and recovered from the medicine; and on the outer wall of the back garden of Pei Mansion, a thief who escaped from Xingqing Palace was also caught.
However, since the retired old man in the family said that "it is rare to be confused," why would his brother bother to make people hate him and deliberately expose and investigate this matter? In fact, he temporarily sent all the slaves on duty that night to a manor outside the city.
Then, following the reply from the head of the Pei family in Ju Shoutang, all the people from the outer house heard the sound and gathered in front of Sister A to wait for orders... At the same time, Jiang Tian was riding in a private carriage. So we embarked on the road to Dongdu.
That's right, this time the Qingzhengsi was established not in the city of Chang'an in the Western capital, but in Luoyang, the eastern capital where the emperor was stationed; therefore, Jiang Tian needed to go to fulfill his duties and thank his Majesty. Therefore, this was also the first time Jiang Tian came to this world and left the capital city to travel far away.
But on the night before leaving. He still took the opportunity to practice at night and took a bunch of freshly picked flowers from the hibiscus garden to take a trip to the back garden of Pei Mansion in the north of the city. It is not only a visit and greeting after a long time, but also a secret entrustment of the people and things in Qingqi Garden.
I wanted to say a few words through the window and then leave. As a result, facing the sister who was wearing only a thin coat and a transparent nightgown, Jiang Tian leaned out to greet her without hesitation. Jiang Tian still went to sit in her dormitory with great hospitality; and then lingered there for more than an hour. , only to return with dew all over his body.
Originally, on the straight (relaxed) road to the Eastern Capital, there were official carriages and military carriages that came and went regularly; they were ready to be requisitioned and dispatched at any time. However, since there was no particularly tight deadline, Jiang Tian didn't mind making his trip more comfortable, so he used a private carriage.
Although, the carriage and horse racing business in Chang'an City is already an extremely huge industry. We can provide carriages of grades 3, 6 and 9 according to the needs of people of different status and rank. However, despite the kindness of the Pei Mansion, Jiang Tian still got into the private carriage specially provided by the other party.
It was only after he got on the carriage that Jiang Tian discovered that it clearly belonged to the original carriage. Even the repair of the broken lamp holder was vaguely visible. It's just that all the ostentatious exterior decorations have been removed, making it appear simple and refreshing.
However, the interior is quite spacious and comfortable. The floor was covered with velvet carpets, and the walls were carved with lacquer and inlaid with lamp branches and shelves; the corners were also wrapped with silk cloth to prevent collisions. The interior is divided into two parts, resting and living, with various functional small furnishings.
In addition, there is a small bucket at the back of the car for horse feed, spare parts and other items. The cart was pulled by two strong and muscular draft horses, which were smooth and stable whether walking or accelerating. In addition, Jiang Tian's horse, Sa Lu Zi, was hung up in case he got bored in the car and could go out for a ride.
The driver of the car was none other than Li Huan, who was responsible for leading the team during the safari. Of course, in the words he re-introduced himself: such a big thing happened during the safari, he couldn't bear the blame and invited him to go, and turned to the Pei family as redemption.
Jiang Tian was well aware of this. This was obviously the first candidate recommended to him by Pei before he took office. But Jiang Tian still has to admit this, because having such a person who specializes in outdoor activities will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble and worry during the trip.
However, there was another person on the trip this time. But it was Zhang Wusheng, a disciple of Jinwu, who had explored and cracked Fan Tower together. But now he has been promoted to deputy of the team. Then he was appointed by the general of the Lingwei Zhonglang to Jiang Tian as a follower to the Luodu government office.
And the dispatch of such an acquaintance who had fought side by side undoubtedly represented a certain attitude and stance from the Jinwu Guards. However, after the carriage drove out of Guangxia Gate, it happened to meet Murong Wu and others who were on their way to Dongdu on business at the Caoting three miles away from the city.
Well, these three families, Yushitai, Jinwuwei, and Pei Mansion, are all under Jiang Dan's command, and we can play a table of mahjong.
