Although the season has entered the beginning of August, the 24th autumn tiger is still in full swing, especially when it is close to noon, the sky is bright, the sun is so bright that people will feel dizzy just looking at it, and there are many uncontrollable noises around. , the noisy people are getting more and more heated.
Although Tang Song was riding in a luxury car, when he got home from White Horse Temple, he was still sweating when he got off the car. Without stopping at the concierge, he went directly to the main room of the back house. .
Knowing that Karamatsu was going home today, Crystal's close girls had already set up four ice basins in the room. As soon as Fang entered the room, there was a rush of cold air, which made Karamatsu shiver. This time, what a wonderful word.
After lying down on Mrs. Zhu under the window, Karamatsu let out a long sigh, "It's still comfortable at home."
Yuzhu, who was left by Shen Shen Siqiang to take care of her daily life, followed her in and opened the window first. "It's not good for your health to be hot and cold." After saying this, Yuzhu went out again. When he came back a while later, There is already a red lacquer tray in his hand, which contains seven or eight finely carved ice fish, and there is also a bottle of Persian grape wine.
Whether it is the Persian grape wine or the ice cellar in the mansion, they were both gifts from Wu Zetian that day. In such a hot weather, these two things are actually the greatest gifts.
The blood-red Persian grape wine was poured into a translucent glass bottle, and then poured into an ice fish town. Slowly, a circle of water droplets began to appear along the wall of the glass bottle. At this time, the wine was slowly poured out. After taking a sip, it feels cool and mellow in the mouth. I feel helpless.
Youyou sighed another long breath, and Tang Song was about to narrow on Mrs. Zhu. The concierge Lao Pang walked in from the outside, holding a stack of very famous thorns in his hand.
Old Pang is in his fifties, with a dark and thin complexion. He is a clean-blooded man who was personally recruited into the mansion by Shangguan Jin a few days ago. His old wife Pang Jiang also entered the house. One of them was the concierge, and the other was the kitchen lady. They were both considered prominent people in this small mansion, and the salary was generous, so the old couple became loyal to the new master.
"Master, these are all the famous assassins who have been sent in in the past three days. Some of them also sent various gifts together. The gifts have been collected in the warehouse. The gift list is attached to the famous assassins."
"Don't call me master, it sounds awkward," Tang Song said to Lao Pang with a smile, and took the famous assassin. It's really strange, he doesn't have many acquaintances in Beijing. Only a few people like He Zhizhang came close. Knowing that there were even fewer people giving him a house, why did the concierge receive so many famous assassins in just three days?
After reading all the nearly 20 gifts, I didn¡¯t know anyone in them. Then I looked at the attached gift lists. It was quite a long journey. The gifts he gave were not even light.
Karamatsu was puzzled by this. Could these people have made a mistake? Could it be that there is someone with the same name as him among the officials in Beijing?
After thinking for a while but unable to figure it out, Tang Song simply put the stack of assassinations aside and said, "Old Pang. Did these people say anything when they came to hand over the assassinations?"
"Come back to me Young Master, these people who brought the gifts have left a message. The masters of their families please take care of the Young Master in the selection of officials. I will come back to say thank you in the future."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Selecting officials? A moment of hesitation. Tang Song immediately understood what Lao Pang meant.
Although there are more than 1,300 years apart, how can the officialdom of this era have the same virtues as those of later generations? It is really impossible to keep any secret. Three days ago, when he accepted the assignment from Lu Yuanfang, he was clearly in the study, and he never interacted with anyone since he came out. Why, these people all knew about it, and even the gifts were given to him.
Although Karamatsu has not seen those files and documents yet, those who give famous people and gifts must be among them. As for what they are asking for, they must hope that they can pass the initial screening smoothly.
"I know, let's go, Lao Pang." After dismissing Lao Pang, Tang Song gently patted the pile of famous tattoos in his hand. The Shangshu Province is like the State Council in later generations, and it is connected with the Ministry of Personnel, which is the first of the six departments and is equivalent to the Central Organization Department in later generations. It seems that although I am not a big official, my position is really crucial.
¡°When I was not an official before, I never received a famous assassination in this mansion. Nowadays, as soon as he enters an official position, before he takes office, he has a thick stack of famous assassins, and the warehouse is also opened. The difference is really huge.
It seems that being an official is different!
After savoring this delicious experience, Tang Song handed the pile of famous tattoos to Yuzhu, and led her to the study room to find these people's names from the files and documents sent by Lu Yuanfang's order.
By the time the bottle of grape wine was finished, Yuzhu had returned with a thick stack of files and documents. Karamatsu picked up one and opened it. There was quite a lot of material.
This archive document is of course different from the archives of later generations.The same, but the content is not very different. Place of origin is very important in a resume. As long as there is a famous person within three generations of his ancestors, even if he is eight poles away, he must be highlighted. In addition, the experience of focusing on the imperial examinations, which subject in that year was ranked, and who was the teacher who took the exam were clearly written, and even the teacher was obviously joking or giving a perfunctory compliment. They are all described in an emphatic tone.
After that, there are some official experience. From a certain year to a certain year, he held a certain position in a certain place and what he did during this period. Behind each official experience, there is an evaluation form stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Civil Service. , is the overall evaluation of his official performance in this term.
Time passed slowly, and seeing that there were only two or three files left, Tang Song couldn't help but sigh when he put down the sixteenth file document. To be honest, although these people came to his disciples in advance, he didn't hate these officials in his heart. He even had a good impression of these people because of their proactive approach, so he hoped that these people could perform better. , then they will be included in the list as a matter of course.
"It's a good idea, but I have read the files and documents of these people. Except for a few two people, in Karamatsu's opinion, everyone else was just stable, which put Karamatsu in a real dilemma.
Choose one of the three, according to this standard. At least five of the sixteen documents he had read should have been selected, but now there are only two, and the third one is really reluctant. Aren't these people screened by the Department of Personnel Affairs of the Ministry of Personnel? As the head of the Department of Personnel Affairs, is it difficult for them to be of this level?
After reading these sixteen files and documents, Tang Song's comfort when he returned home was gone. Only now did he truly realize that the task that Lu Yuanfang seemingly inadvertently gave him this time was really difficult to handle.
Rest your eyes for a while. After chatting with the flexing Crystal, Karamatsu was about to pick up the seventeenth file document when he heard footsteps outside the door, and then Princess Taiping, still dressed in men's clothing, walked in from the outside. Behind him was an old man with a bitter look on his face.
"Sir"
Before Lao Pang could finish, Tang Song waved his hand to him, "This is a bad visitor, Lao Pang can't stop him."
Old Pang bowed and left. Tang Song put down the files and pointed at the beard hat in Taiping's hand. "Since the princess also knows how inconvenient it is to come to my house, why does she need to be such an unwelcome guest?"
With Crystal present, Taiping didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just smiled coquettishly. "What? I'm not welcome now?"
There are still a lot of files and documents waiting to be seen, and Karamatsu doesn't have time to play ambiguous with her. "If you have anything to do, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace. If you have any questions, princess, please speak up."
Taiping winked at Crystal. It means asking Tang Song to avoid Crystal. In response to this, Tang Song just looked at Taiping with a smile.
Taiping glared at him, came closer, patted the file documents in his hand, and whispered like a whisper: "That's exactly why I'm here."
While speaking, she handed over a list of names in her hand, "Since we are allies, we should take more care of these people."
Tang Song unfolded the list and took a look at it. There were no less than thirty names written densely on it, "Princess, are you kidding me? I am just a minister, and I have no right to decide on the final appointment of officials. In this case, you Why bother giving me such a thing? The end result is very likely that the princess will not be able to get what she wants, and I will not be able to explain it to the Prime Minister. If you can't do your thing, and you have to involve me, it's not worth the gain."
Hearing this, Taiping chuckled, "If you can't even pass this level, what will happen next? Besides, you don't know Lu Yuanfang too much. If he doesn't want to marry someone, it's the Queen Mother." He dares to insist on it. This is an old guy who doesn't care about human relations at all. He is also hard-working and likes to do everything. Whenever there is a large-scale official vacancy to be filled, he must take care of it personally. From the primary to the final election, there is no need to do it. No one else is allowed to interfere. This time, out of the norm, the right to conduct the preliminary screening has been granted to Qi Tangsong. What does this mean?"
This was the first time Tang Song heard what Taiping said, but when he thought about it, it seemed to make sense. If Lu Yuanfang hadn't planned to do it himself, the files and documents submitted by the Ministry of Personnel should have been sent to the Shangshu Province. It should be piled up in his study. After all, as his minister, he only needs to make the final decision. The preliminary processing of archive materials is the job of subordinate officials.
Thinking about it this way, the task Lu Yuanfang assigned to him this time was indeed out of the ordinary!
Thinking of this, Tang Song stood up from Mrs. Bamboo and saidHowever, the injury has not healed yet, and after lying down for a long time, he stood up too quickly, so his body was inevitably swaying. Upon seeing this, Taiping stretched out his hand to hold his arm, then changed from supporting to holding his arm, and never let go.
Over there, Jingshuang, who had just stood up, coughed heavily when he saw this, and when Taiping turned a deaf ear, he walked over to Karamatsu and took his other arm.
Seeing Crystal like this, Tang Song couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ever since she became his secretary, this girl has become more and more arrogant.
Taiping ignored Crystal at all, and when Tang Song remained silent, he continued: "The fact that Lu Yuanfang can delegate power to you in this matter shows how much he trusts you. Since then, he will not accept the list you handed over." If it is fully adopted, it must be at least 60-70%. I have thirty-four people here, so if I calculate it as 60%, that would still be 20 people."
Tang Song didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but he sneered on his face, "What you think is quite good. In my opinion, this is just a test for me by Lu Xiang. If you don't care about the wise and foolish, I will repay Xiang Lu in the list. I am a minister and I am afraid that I will be fired by Prime Minister Lu before I even take up my post."
This time, a large number of officials from the fourth family have collapsed, and the vacated official positions are nothing less than a feast for all forces in the DPRK and China. However, because Lu Yuanfang was not well-educated, everyone could only watch and watch. There is no good solution for this peace.
Unexpectedly, the news suddenly changed. Lu Yuanfang actually changed his past behavior this time and let Tang Song speak out on a sensitive matter involving the appointment and dismissal of so many officials. When he first heard the news, Taiping couldn't believe it. , after confirmation, there will be ecstasy.
This time she finally no longer has to hide and occasionally eat leftovers from others like before. With Karamatsu, she wants to take a big bite of this feast.
Since the news was confirmed, Taiping has not left the house in the past few days. He has been thinking about the list all day long. When the list is made, he will come to find Tang Song immediately, but he does not want to delay any more.
It can also be seen from this urgency that she is really determined to win this matter. She came with such a mentality, but she saw that Karamatsu was just pushing away. Although she was still holding Karamatsu's arm intimately, her expression was slow. He slowly calmed down, "Ever since Su Muleng, your assistant, presided over last year's scientific examination and came up with such an examination regulations, Lu Yuanfang has never stopped admiring you. He recommended you to become an official several times in public, but privately I don¡¯t even know how many good things he said to you in front of the Queen Mother. Hey, how can Lu Yuanfang say good things to random people? If there is a test, he has already passed the test of you. This time he can finally introduce you to the official position and directly appoint you as the minister. The governor is responsible for liaising with the officials in charge of him, and the intention of re-employment is obvious."
Having reached this point in one breath, Taiping suddenly let out another charming chuckle, "This opportunity is really rare. This matter is no better than others. Tang Songqian must help me."
After hearing this, Tang Song was about to speak when he saw old Pang, the concierge, coming in from the outside again. This time, he handed over a famous letter with a gold cover, which was extremely luxurious.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There is no introduction such as official title or place of birth, there is only one name - Wu Hui, this owner is really arrogant when he writes the name on the card like this.
Although Tang Song didn't know who this Wu Hui was, he also knew that this person probably had some background, so he shook his famous thorn at Taiping, "Who is this person?"
The charming smile on Taiping's face disappeared, "The great steward of Prince Liang's Mansion, the subordinate officials set up by the imperial court in Prince Liang's Mansion are actually just decorations. This person is Wu Sansi's real confidant."
It seems that Wu Sansi is Taiping's honest cousin, but when he came to Wu Sansi, he couldn't smell the slightest trace of family affection. It's not surprising when you think about it. Who made Wu Sansi want to be the prince and also be favored by Wu Zetian?
In order to compete for the position of heir, Tai Ping really hated Wu Sansi. There was no family ties in the Tian family. This was Tang Song's real experience.
Putting this aside, why did Wu Hui come to the door at this time?
