"You know, the position of chief registrar is very important. You should get familiar with it as soon as possible. If you have any questions, you can ask Wen Yi Gong, Gong Yan, You Chang and others. Of course, you can also come to me."
In Zhuge Liang's palace, Wang Lian, a long-time official whom Yang Qing knew, and Ma Di, who joined the army, were also in the house. In addition, there was another person that Yang Qing saw for the first time. This person was Jiang Wan, Jiang Gongyan, who was sitting opposite him. Dong Cao was now in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two thousand officials and military officials had been removed. This person was loyal, elegant, and powerful, and had the talent to help the world and the people. In the original history of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Jiang Wan often sat in the Prime Minister's Mansion to provide enough food and troops to supply the front line, which shows his talent. Later, before Zhuge Liang died, he asked Jiang Wan to take over his place. In government affairs, he became one of the Four Wise Prime Ministers.
For such a great talent, Yang Qing did not dare to be scornful and was very courteous. Therefore, Jiang Wan had a good impression of Yang Qing when they first met. At this time, he, Wang Lian and Ma Di heard that Zhuge Liang asked them to give Yang Qing more advice. Qing Yier also quickly nodded to Yang Qing, not daring to say anything.
Yang Qing nodded in response, cupped his hands and said to everyone: "I will obey the Prime Minister's order, but I will trouble you all." Zhuge Liang encouraged Yang Qing a few more words and let everyone disperse. As soon as Yang Qing returned to his official room and sat down, he immediately ordered people to bring all kinds of legal slips to him for inspection. He wanted to quickly become familiar with the official operations of the Prime Minister's Mansion, past archives, register data, and of course his own The situation of subordinates.
Yang Qing watched for several hours. During this period, he ate once and felt a little tired, so he went to the back hall to rest. The official residence of the Prime Minister's Mansion still had a front hall and sleeping rooms in the back. He didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up and looked out the window, he saw that the sun was already setting. Seeing that it was time to leave for duty, he tidied up and came to the front door. When he came to the hall, he saw that Shi Dujun had been waiting for a long time.
"Master Registrar, it's time to leave. A group of staff and I have hosted a banquet in the restaurant to greet the Chief Registrar. Please don't refuse." Du Jun said respectfully.
Yang Qing was alone when he returned home. He also needed to get to know his subordinates when he first took office, so he did not refuse the invitation from his subordinates. He nodded and agreed and followed Du Jun to the banquet. While drinking and drinking, he was already familiar with his subordinates. In addition to Lingshi Dujun, there were two Lingshi and two imperial subordinates who were responsible for clerical matters. As for Lingxia, Shige and other subordinates, there were more than ten people. Many, they are of low character and did not accompany me today.
It was early noon when Yang Qing returned home, and his neighbors were all aware of his appointment as chief registrar. After all, there was a big fight yesterday afternoon when Li Shao, the Western Cao official, came to announce his appointment. The neighbors also followed Li Shao's departure. Came over to congratulate him. Xia Houyue was also among them. She only echoed a few words with the others and did not congratulate Yang Qing alone, and her expression was a little unnatural. Although Yang Qing also noticed at that time that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, he was busy with his duties and ignored the matter. At this time, looking at the candlelight in the attic next to him, he thought it would be better to go over and ask. Yang Qing walked out of the courtyard and was about to lock the door when he suddenly remembered the question that had been hidden in his heart for many days. He sighed and turned back into the house. He took another look at the attic opposite and thought to himself, it seems like he will have to find time to go to Wang's house tomorrow.
This is the second day after taking office. Yang Qing has adopted the policy of seeing more, asking more, talking less and doing less. In today's meeting of the Prime Minister's Office, he fully acted as an assistant to the minister, merely classifying the documents on the issues and Upload and issue, and record the results. He did not express any opinions during the meeting. Of course, government meetings are the core political activities of the prime minister's office. All the officials in the government gather at the Baiguan Hall for meetings, so he basically knows all the chief officials of each Cao Cao.
According to the pre-Han system, the main hall in the Prime Minister's Mansion was the meeting hall for hundreds of officials to discuss political affairs, also known as the General Assembly Hall below the Emperor. Because the Prime Minister held a high position, the main hall in the Prime Minister's Mansion could also be called a palace. There are many political activities held in the Baiguan Chaohui Hall, and the political discussions are mainly court meetings. The so-called court meetings are attended by the emperor personally or presided over by the prime minister to discuss important affairs or difficult issues. This kind of meeting is originally held in the palace, but Sometimes it is also held in the Prime Minister's Mansion. According to the different political affairs discussed, participating officials, and government offices, the court meeting can be divided into the meeting of public ministers and hundreds of officials, the meeting of government officials, and the meeting of officials.
The Gongqing Baiguan meeting is a large-scale court meeting, so it is also a court meeting in a narrow sense. The emperor may personally come to this palace to discuss with the ministers. Sometimes the emperor will also issue an edict for the prime minister to preside over the meeting, and then report the results to the emperor for decision. The prime minister's office discussion means that the emperor will hand over relevant issues to the prime minister, let him discuss with the officials in the government, and then report the handling opinions. As the name suggests, the Yousi Conference means that each Cao Cao and his subordinates discuss relevant matters together. Of course, the prime minister sometimes participates in important Yousi Conference.
At present, the meeting of the ministers and officials is still held in the palace, but it has never been held in the Prime Minister's Mansion since Zhuge Liang opened his government. The reason is naturally that he must abide by the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers. Nowadays, the political affairs of the court are already handled by him. It would be too ostentatious to hold the meeting of ministers and officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In order to avoid criticism, national affairs must be nominally handled by the emperor in the palace. Decide. Another reason is that Zhuge Liang deliberately cultivated the ability of the emperor Liu Chan to participate in politics. After all, the government will eventually return to the emperor. Therefore, the core deliberation activity of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still the government deliberation, which Yang Qing already knew from the classics yesterday.
Yang Qing finished arranging things early in the afternoon and took a leave of absence from Chang Shi Wang Lian. Today he was going to Wang Pu's annex to clarify the questions that had been pressing in his mind for several days. Of course, he still had to go to Wang's house first. A trip to the main house, after all, it would be better for Wang Pu and his son to take him to the annex for verification.
Today only Wang Tong is at home, Wang Pu is still on duty at the county governor's mansion and has not returned. The Wang family has learned that Yang Qing has taken over the post of Prime Minister's Registrar. When they first heard the news, Wang Pu and his son couldn't believe it. Although they had seen with their own eyes Yang Qing's talent in solving crimes and apprehending murderers, and they were also aware of Yang Qing's growing talent in literature these days, they never imagined that Prime Minister Zhuge would conquer Yang Qing, a commoner from a poor family. As the main book. You must know that Wang Pu, the governor of the prefecture, is an official with a rank of three hundred stones, while Yang Qing's rank has jumped to four hundred stones, let alone the real power and status of the prime minister. .
Although Wang Tong had thousands of dissatisfactions in his heart, he still saluted respectfully on his face and said, "I don't know that Mr. Yang is here. Tong is not welcome at a distance, but it is very rude." Yang Qing naturally heard that Wang Tong Tong Tong said with a sour tone and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, why are you still out of sight? You are an old acquaintance. From now on we should treat each other as brothers." Wang Tong said: "How dare you, how dare you? It was Tong Duo who offended me in the past. I will look forward to seeing you again in the future." Master, please don’t worry about it.”
This guy is quite flexible, so Yang Qing stopped teasing him and said directly: "Brother Wang, Qing came here uninvited today. I really have something to ask for. I hope Brother Wang will agree."
Wang Tong didn't expect that Yang Qing would still have something to seek from his family. He snorted in his heart, no matter how high you suddenly become, your foundation is shallow after all. You can't compare with a big family like his who has been serving in the state and county for many years. This is not the case. It's okay to ask for help before you come to me. Let's first listen to what you are doing before making any fuss.
Wang Tong inadvertently straightened his back and said curiously: "I don't know how my Wang family can help the master. Just ask the master, and Tong will definitely help."
"It's not a big deal. I just went to Brother Wang's villa a few days ago because of the Xinlan case. The scenery in the hotel was so beautiful that I couldn't forget it for a long time after seeing it. So I wanted to go to Brother Wang's villa today when I had free time. Let’s take a tour of the museum.” Yang Qing replied: “Brother Wang will not agree to this small matter.”
Wang Tong was a little stunned. He originally thought that Yang Qing, the new chief secretary, had big things to ask for from his family, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter. He was already prepared to take advantage of Yang Qing, but now his momentum was exhausted and he had no choice but to agree, so he had to force a smile and say: "No, no, this is the honor of my Wang family."
