Of course, Jiang Tian would not be too surprised by the sudden parachute drop of a deputy. After all, as a mature regime that has been in operation for nearly three hundred years, it would be arrogant to casually leave a powerful department to a person who has risen outside the system.
Therefore, no matter how professional and capable the other party appears, arranging a system to control and balance one's own people is a normal mode of long-term operation and maintenance; it is not a temporary tool that can be used once and thrown away, or it will be used in the future. A potential outcast to take the blame.
In contrast, Jiang Tian was more concerned about the background and stance of the secretary, Sheng Dianzheng, and the editor of Dongge, Yu Cong. As the secretary province of his own official, it was one of the three provinces within the province together with Gongtai Province and Dianzhong Province. It was also the seniority of the emperor's ministers, but it was also subject to the supervision and control of the outer court.
As for the rank of the editor of Dongge is not high, it is an enviable and noble position; because in addition to Zhongshu and the imperial court, all the bachelors of Hanlin Academy, Hongwen Academy and Jixian Academy are The office is located to the east of the Taiji Hall in the Imperial City, so the relevant people are collectively referred to as belonging to the East Pavilion;
Therefore, being a trainee in Dongge is also a noble and beautiful position that can only be indulged by those who have been ranked first in the imperial examination in all dynasties. Because the best among them would serve as imperial accomplices from time to time, serving the imperial edicts and singing at banquets; they also participated in the drafting of imperial edicts, or attended the official affairs of the political hall.
On the other hand, these bachelors and officials are collectively called imperial ministers; but the bachelors of each palace are actually led by the prime minister of the dynasty. Therefore, these imperial bachelors/waiting edicts/acceptors who came from imperial examination elites were under the dual leadership and restriction of the internal and external dynasties (Da Nei and Zhengshi Tang).
Therefore, to be able to serve in Donggeguanyuan, known as the Prime Minister/Preparation Prime Minister, it is not enough to rely solely on the prominent and powerful family background. Because this is also the highest achievement that hundreds of millions of people in the world and thousands of civil servants can achieve through the imperial examination. It is almost a carrot and a pit.
After passing through the Dongge Guanyuan, the starting point for being released to prefectures and counties will be much higher than most imperial examination backgrounds; the subsequent official career will also be smooth. After all, although there are paths in this world such as being a member of the family, entering the imperial court, being recommended, and conquering the country, it is recognized that the imperial examination is the most expensive.
"Demon Town Museum"
Although the editor of Dongge belongs to the lower level, he has no specific affiliation with the academy, and his rank is only from the eighth rank. They are incomparable to those who are on duty in Zhengshitang and Shangshu Province, or those who accept imperial edicts/waiting orders in Taijimen, or those who follow the emperor to record his words and deeds, such as the daily minister and the author.
In theory, he is mainly responsible for the compilation of documents on a daily basis, that is, the compilation of various national histories, records, and conferences from previous dynasties and today. It is a rather long writing project; often the emperor who ordered the compilation is dead, so it may not be completed yet. But still noble enough.
If he were sent out, he would be in charge of at least one Fuguo County or Chixian County in Gyeonggi Province; he would even be the left deputy in charge of transshipment, salt inspection, river engineering, and money supervision at the lower level of the road. There is no precedent for even directly placing a supervisory censor Li Xing. However, he was actually appointed as the deputy supervisor of the secret operations department.
Therefore, compared with those ready-made lists that are obviously produced after a period of deliberation, or the balance and compromise of all parties behind the scenes. The appointment of this deputy supervisor, who was parachuted in without warning, seemed a bit abrupt and hasty; therefore, this could only represent two possibilities.
Either, he is a transitional existence; for example, before there is no better suitable candidate, or when the parties behind the scenes are at loggerheads, he is hurriedly pushed into the trap due to imminent needs; or he is extremely lucky. A loyal and reliable person trusted by both internal and external parties.
After all, just judging from the words about this person’s origin in Cong, he is neither from a famous family nor a vassal prince, nor does he have a prominent national origin; he is just an ordinary small noble family in Luoyang, Henan, and his ancestors are known as It is the origin of Yu Jin, the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
But on the other hand, he was also responsible for supervising and supervising the renovation project of this underground ghost city from the beginning; it can be said that he is not the type who is only good at literary work or talking on paper. Therefore, the documents he subsequently submitted were also classified into three categories.
The first category is about the basic planning drawings of the underground ghost market reconstruction project and various details of the progress of each project; the functional layout of Jinyong City is mainly referred to. Jiang Tian only needs to make further additions, subtractions, adjustments and corrections based on actual needs.
The second category is a compiled briefing and a retrieval catalog of accompanying information; mainly about the records of various beasts and ghosts that were reported and killed in various places west of (Tong) Pass during this period. As well as reports on various incidents that are suspected to be related, with follow-up analysis.
From this, Jiang Tian can also be quite pleased to see that Xijing's enforcement of "animal disasters" is obviously much stronger than that of Luodu, which has always been secretive and unwilling to make it public on a large scale. Therefore, when the correct countermeasures and procedures are found, the situation can be greatly alleviated.
In the face of the gradually activated state machinery and regime violence, even the hordes of ferocious beasts entrenched in the mountains and forests are no more powerful than the roaming bandits, rebels, and rebels. As long as they are discovered by police sentries, they will be summoned to the army to kill them through summons.
Just like those saber-toothed tigers and mammoths hunted by primitive people in history. Although all kinds of ferocious beasts have various advantages in rapid self-healing and strength and speed, it is just a lot of effort and effort. It has even become the target of a private bounty.
On the contrary, ghosts with sanity and relative concealment are more troublesome. Because before it completely transforms, there are not enough identification and screening methods; it is easy to get mixed up with ordinary poisonous eucalyptus. There have even been some targeted assassinations suspected to be related to ghosts;
Or someone started to pretend to be the perpetrators of ghosts and beasts, and chopped up the corpses at the scene, trying to hide the robbery or murder. In a sense, compared to the raging "beast disasters", the human heart is the most terrifying and unpredictable thing in the world.
Therefore, this leads to one of the reasons why Xijing urgently needs Jiang Tian to return; or in other words, the big shots in the court need him with special identification ability to find ways and countermeasures like the original ferocious beast incident. To identify ghosts before they appear and change.
Therefore, this leads to the third category of eucalyptus content. Since the imperial court issued the "Tenka Temple Temple Registration/Collection Order", various foreign objects found and submitted in various places in Kansai, as well as related incident records. But there's not much in it that's really meaningful.
For example, a pair of iron rings that make people feel numb all over and unable to move when touched; a certain piece of pebbles that can quickly absorb impurities and purify dirt when placed in water; another example is a pair of iron rings that can emit after being roasted by fire, making people feel numb. A piece of dead wood with an intoxicating fragrance; a wine flask that continues to sound after knocking.
In comparison, the foreign objects that can be found in the temples are even more pitiful and rare. For example, there is a hanging banner of the King of Heaven that can move automatically at night without wind; a bronze statue that chimes with the sound of bells; seeing it too often gives people a sense of déjà vu, as if they are approaching the science column.
In addition, there is an appendix with a special seal, which is said to be a confidential document from Zuomi Pavilion of Shangshu Province. Among them, there are specially listed volumes of the Department of Strange News and the Department of Demons and Luos, which are used to record various abnormal events and strange rumors under the rule of the successive dynasties since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, after Jiang Tian took a look at it, he would find that most of them are far-fetched stories; or that they were created to please those in power, creating various urban legends or prophecies. For example, the Nestle on Zhuque Street gave birth to a white crow, and a dragon appeared in Longxing Pond;
Another example is that among the mass graves on Gouqing Ridge, there was a person who once spoke like a dog in the night, thinking that it would predict misfortune; but he was beaten to death by Jing Zhaoyin at that time. Another example is that a clam as huge as a cart was presented from Nanhai, and it survived when it arrived at the capital; but when it saw a certain prime minister, it rotted like mud.
But, but! Since Liang Gong's name first appeared in history books, the number of witnesses of various omens and rumors seems to have become more and more frequent. For example, after the fall of Tongguan during the Anshi Rebellion, there were many places claiming to have seen heavenly beings coming to the world.
Among them, the Nestorians claimed that it was the Emperor Father Aroko (God) who sent the archangel with fluttering white feathers to the earth; there were also the Zoroastrian/Zoroastrian Christians who claimed that when the meteors and fire rained across the sky, it was the supreme god Ahura Mazda who commanded the army. One of the ten incarnations of the god Velesh Rana, descended to earth on a white horse at the end of the day.
The Tantric Sect of Buddhism claims that this was the mantra of the Great Sun Tathagata performed by Vajra Zhi, the protector of the country at that time. The Lou Guan Sect and Maoshan Sect, which serve the royal family, say that this is the Beichen Star Falling among the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Constellations, which governs the world of rapid changes...
From then on, almost every few years or ten years, some strange and strange news would appear. For example, when someone crossed the sea in Penglai to Liaodong, they saw a strange cleavage shark hunting a giant whale; someone captured a crocodile-eating sawtooth lizard in the Annan Protectorate.
Someone else encountered a giant insect in a cave as thick as a car hub in the Tiger Wolf Valley at the foot of Mount Tai. Another person dug out a stone man as white as jade in the Bird Rat Cave Mountain in Hexi, but it was killed by thunder and exploded. Like flesh and blood. Someone in the capital also displayed a snail as big as a basin and a large guide several feet tall.
There was another butcher in Mianchi County, and his children were devoured by the big pigs he bought; and in Beimang Mountain, some good people saw a giant beast walking in human form, and gathered their cronies to hunt it down. As a result, several people died in chaos the next day. Gang, the essence and blood are dried up, the organs are gone,...
Although most of the anecdotal and demonic incidents did not have any evidence handed down; but seeing many such examples, Jiang Tian couldn't help but have a strange conjecture. Could it be that this continuous change is actually related to the arrival of time travellers?
In other words, Jiang Tian let his mind wander a little more; such abnormal changes occurred from time to time after the arrival of the senior time traveler. In this case, could this be caused by the time and space gap caused by time travel and the leakage of some invisible force?
However, compared to the huge size of the Tang Dynasty, the sporadic changes and signs caused by these weak power leaks and claims were easily eliminated and covered up. Until he came to this world and expanded the invisible space rift, was there a limit to more mutations?
In other words, every time I use this half-assed auxiliary system to travel between time and space, I am also strengthening this rift and the impact of the intersection of different time and space?
