At the gate of Shangshu Province, there were actually ten or twenty officials rushing in at this moment. They had obviously just entered the gate and were going to find Tang Song. Unexpectedly, they met someone coming in, so they turned around and pounced on them.
Although the middle-aged man in official attire did not explain the reason very clearly, Tang Song was able to grasp the general outline of the matter based on the words he shouted. Lu Yuanfang must have adopted his list, if not all, at least most of it.
As soon as this result came out, these people who were originally included in the candidate list and then lost couldn't stand it, so this happened.
Ten or twenty people came swarming over, but Tang Song did not run away as early as the official leader silently reminded him. Running is not the solution to the problem, and he may not come to Shangshu Province again in the future? More importantly, he didn't do anything wrong at all, so why did he run away?
Not only did Tang Song not run away, but he stood firm with his eyes raised and his eyebrows raised. He could wait for the official who was the first to rush forward to jump three steps in front of him. He exhaled and raised his voice like spring thunder and shouted: "Stop!"
This drink was so powerful and loud that the official who was the first to drink was suddenly startled. Although his mind froze, he didn't stop. He was bumped into by someone behind him and fell to the ground, tripping over and over. Four or five people followed closely behind.
This fall, and the gourd rolled in front of Shangshu was generally chaotic.
Although the Imperial City has always been a place of right and wrong, there have always been many people who tell small stories to fan the evil wind and ignite the will of the devil. In short, it is a clandestine trick. This kind of open-fire conflict is rare once a year. At this moment, ten or twenty officials wearing official uniforms of various grades are besieging another official. This scene was really hot, attracting many onlookers almost instantly, and people from the nearby Yamen were also coming to join in the fun.
Scholars are good at face, and officials are also good at face. The official who fell first was a scholar, so it would naturally be more respectable. He, who had such a good face, was so ugly in front of everyone in the imperial city. After he got up, he was so ashamed and angry that his face was as red as pig liver, and even his shouting voice was extremely sharp, "Shu Zi, I will fight with you."
Shouting in his mouth, the official rushed towards Tang Song.
Looking at his posture of lowering his head and bending towards his chest, it was very similar to the standard action of touching the pillar when a loyal minister died to persuade the king in the history books. Karamatsu curled his lips at this. Civil servants use their mouths, so why fight? It's really unprofessional to fight you.
As a time traveler, Karamatsu has watched a lot of action movies in his later life, and he even practiced it during a group fight at Huayue Tower a few days ago. Facing this most inferior opponent, he calmly turned sideways, dodged the official's headbutt, and then raised his foot to kick the fat butt that passed by him.
The officer's momentum of lowering his head like a mad bull was already strong, and Tang Song's kick of pushing the boat along with the current was added to it. He couldn't hold back his momentum anymore, and he fell down with a "bang" sound. This time, he couldn't get up again, he was so angry after falling. He was so angry that he fainted.
When he knocked this one down, Tang Song was already prepared to receive three punches and two kicks. After all, he had so many people! Unexpectedly, the official had already fainted. The expected punches and kicks were nowhere to be seen.
After all, he was an official who was worried about his face. At first, it was normal for Tang Song to act a little out of the blue because he was frustrated with his promotion. But now, after facing many onlookers, they did something inconsistent with their status. Otherwise, it would be said that the scholar had rebelled for three years.
The remaining officials gathered in a circle and pretended to argue with Tang Song, but Tang Song was unwilling to grant them permission. "Your promotion and transfer are all the responsibility of the General Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel. Where is the Yamen of the Ministry of Personnel?" Who doesn't know? If you have any grievances, just look for them. Why are you looking for me? Are you thinking that I am a lowly official and easy to bully?"
Tang Song took the lead and walked towards the officials with dignity. As he walked, he said in a deep voice: "As an official of the imperial court, you gathered a crowd to surround and beat a certain person during the office hours. This is a small matter for a seventh-rank minister. Although a certain official position is low, he is still He is not a person who allows others to bully him. If there is no official impeachment report to the imperial court about what happened today, I will go to the Yushitai or Dali Temple to seek justice for myself."
At this point, Tang Song let out another thunderous shout, "Make way!"
The official standing in front of him involuntarily turned sideways. Tang Song walked straight into him with a bold step, and then entered the Shangshu Provincial Yamen without looking back.
"I'm really not good at fighting, and it's really embarrassing." Come on, they didn't even give them a chance, they just left like that, and before leaving, they kept taking advantage of all the excuses. Now, the dozen or so officials were left stunned in the middle of the crowd of onlookers, not knowing what to do. , they looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds, which made the onlookers burst into laughter.
?After laughing together, these people became more and more confused. Some people couldn't stand the excitement and said they wanted to turn around and go back to the Shangshu Province to grab Tang Song; some people said that this was after all, it was time to go to the Yamen, as if what happened just now could not be ignored. Furthermore, if this disturbs the official affairs of the Shangshu Province, then the person who is clearly in charge will also lose, and he should leave now to pay homage to the court to impeach Tang Song; some people say that although Tang Song is a hateful person, what he said just now is not bad, it seems that The promotion and transfer of officials is the final decision of the Ministry of Personnel. Now if there is any grievance, you should talk to the Ministry of Personnel first. Some people even directly advocated, and everyone simply went to the Political Affairs Hall to talk to Prime Minister Lu.
There were so many people talking and talking, and they all had different opinions, but no one could convince anyone. As they talked, their internal differences became more and more serious. There were even two impatient ones who quarreled. They were so The performance made the onlookers laugh even louder. At that moment, someone was saying strange things in the crowd, "Humph! Just a bunch of mediocre people want to be promoted. Are they really deceiving me that there is no one in the imperial city?"
These dozen people gathered together to seek bad luck from Tang Song, but now they failed to find bad luck. One of them fainted first, and although the others were not fainted, they were not much better. They died in the imperial city in full view of everyone. He has become the butt of jokes for others' entertainment, and his face has been completely lost.
It was difficult to unite the internal opinions, but more and more people outside were watching the jokes for fun, and the laughter became louder and louder. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and walked away, with this person taking the lead. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people turned into birds and beasts and scattered, and quite a few of them walked away with their sleeves raised to cover their faces.
When Tang Song entered the main gate of Shangshu Province, the chief official who reminded him before snickered and gave him a thumbs up.
Went directly to the office room. Xu knew what happened at the yamen gate, and also knew that he was currently in a bad mood, because none of the principals and others under Tang Song's supervision came to cause trouble. After waiting for a while, only the foreigner named Wei Bo came in and walked around to comfort him.
Although what he said were ordinary words, the rare thing about Weibo was that his words of comfort were indeed sincere, at least in Karamatsu's view, and his attitude towards him was a little closer than yesterday.
While the two were talking, Wang Feng, Tang Song¡¯s chief, poked his head outside. After asking, he said that someone from the Ministry of Rites was looking for something to do with the Tang Dynasty.
"Since you have official business here, I won't disturb you. In short, there is really nothing to worry about what happened just now. You have only been an official for a short time in the Tang Dynasty. In today's officialdom, if you don't do things, you will be fine. On the contrary, if you do things sincerely, you will inevitably have to worry about it. If you are looking for trouble. It is inevitable that someone will find trouble on you That's all, let's not talk about it anymore. Just go about your business. It's just a few steps away. There's no need to send him off." He finished. Wei Bo, a member of the imperial family, walked out of the house in a cool manner and said a few words to others after going out.
After Wei Bo left, Wang Feng, the person in charge, came in with someone from the Ministry of Rites, and Tang Song took a look. The first smile of the day appeared on his face sincerely, "Ji Zhen. Didn't you say last time that you were going to go to Gyeonggi Province to review the issue of Gongsheng students in each state and township? Why did you come back so soon?"
The so-called person from the Ministry of Rites is none other than He Zhizhang. After Wang Feng left, he turned around and closed the door of the office room, and said with a smile: "This trip to Gyeonggi Province is not short. I just came back last night. I didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene early this morning. Son, you didn't see the embarrassment of those people just now, now it's better. From now on, as long as these people don't leave the imperial city, they will be teased about what happened this morning. Really. Bringing humiliation to oneself¡±
Having said this, He Zhizhang pretended to bow his hands and bowed, "By the way, I also forgot to congratulate you on your successful official career."
¡°I¡¯m just a sesame and mung bean official, what¡¯s there to congratulate me on?¡±
Hearing Tang Song's words, He Zhizhang was unwilling, "Moving up from the seventh level is still sesame and mung bean? What about me going from the eighth level? Even if I can be promoted smoothly after taking the Gong test next year, it will only be a step down from the seventh level."
What He Zhizhang said is also true. The starting point for distribution of new Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty was low. They usually started from the eighth rank. He Zhizhang's status as a state leader was the eighth rank. As for many others, they started from the eighth rank.
Since the officials and officials are separated in the way of Liu Nei Liu Wai, it is really unnecessary to make it so complicated within Liu Nei. He Zhizhang's casual joke reminded Tang Song of the controversy that arose over that list a few days ago. Many thoughts.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Why did you come here today?"
He Zhizhang is a joker, especially in front of Tang Song. He said with a smile: "I originally wanted to inform Mr. Wei about my trip to Gyeonggi Province this time, but he happened to be here, so I bumped into him."
The Ministry of Rites ranks third among the six departments, and just like the Ministry of Personnel, it is under the jurisdiction of Zuopushe in Shangshu Province. After He Zhizhang went on a long mission, he came to report the situation to Yuanwailang, who was under Zuopushe of Shangshu, which is exactly what is mentioned in the title.?There is meaning.
Speaking of this, Tang Song happened to ask about Wei Bo's origin. He Zhizhang has been in the job for more than a year, and he is quite clear about this, "Our member of the Wei family has a great background."
After seeing Wei Bo¡¯s official room and clothes, Tang Song was mentally prepared, so he was not surprised at this moment and just asked: ¡°What¡¯s the origin?¡±
He Zhizhang lowered his voice and said, "He is a direct relative of Princess Luling."
"The King of Luling? Is he the Li Xian who is currently under house arrest in Fangzhou?"
He Zhizhang nodded, Tang Song sucked his lips and said with a smile: "In this way, Wei Yuanwailang is really a man with a great background."
Today, the battle between the military in the middle of the DPRK is actually the identity of the heir. The Wu party is not to say that it is respecting the martial arts. Li Xian was under house arrest for many years, and he only had Concubine Wei by his side. He obeyed her every word, and Wei Bo was a direct relative of Concubine Wei. If Li Xian had gained power, he would have soared into the sky. He was really powerful. Great origin.
He Zhizhang nodded, "But according to the current situation of the court, his status is really embarrassing. Therefore, although he is an official of the sixth rank, he never takes charge of the affairs. In fact, he gets along well with Mr. Liu."
"How is he usually?"
"This man is very arrogant, and there are not many people who can fall in his eyes. Fortunately, he neither takes power nor takes responsibility, and his background is deep. So although his temper is not pleasing, he has not forged much hatred."
"Huh?" He Zhizhang's answer was beyond Tang Song's expectation. Judging from his own contact with Wei Bo, he thought he was a person who was good at building relationships and was well-rounded in everything, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant. side.
Why does such an arrogant person treat him differently? As He Zhizhang said, he neither takes power nor takes charge of affairs. In this case, the original idea that he wanted to draw himself into confrontation with Liu Langzhong was completely unfounded.
How strange!
If you can¡¯t figure it out, just forget about it for now. Tang Song put this question aside and chatted with He Zhizhang about his experiences in Gyeonggi Province.
He Zhizhang has seen a lot in Gyeonggi Province, but what makes him excited the most is the quiet changes in the poetry style in today's poetry world.
With the turmoil caused by Qingyin Publishing House, the comet-like rise of Hongwen Publishing House and the spread of "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly" from south to north. It is also due to the decline of the Fourth Family that the current Anyi County Magistrate Chen Zi'ang proposed that the new literary style of "promoting character and promoting Xingji", which was strongly promoted by Qingyin Literary Society, has gradually become a scholarly one as if it were moistening things. accepted by the poetry community.
This move marked the inevitable decline of the imperial poetry style that had dominated the poetry world for hundreds of years since the Six Dynasties and Qi and Liang Dynasties. When this new literary theory, which was more in line with the spirit of the times, finally replaced the imperial poetry style, it was the most glorious period in the thousands of years of poetry history. The most splendid and prosperous Tang Dynasty will completely break through the darkness before dawn, announcing its arrival with the majestic momentum of "you don't see the water of the Yellow River rising from the sky".
The reason why such a non-mainstream literary proposition proposed by Chen Ziang as a marginal figure in the poetry world has achieved such a great dissemination effect in such a short period of time can be said to be the greatest contribution to Tang Song, who accelerated this process through his own efforts. . Shengsheng advanced the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the history of poetry by nearly twenty years. It can even be said that he pushed open the door to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the history of poetry with both hands.
As a traveler who loves ancient culture, Karamatsu cannot share this strong sense of pride and accomplishment with others. But as He Zhizhang spoke, waves of surging torrents inevitably surged in his heart.
Twenty years. How many flag poets can be achieved? How many iconic works can be achieved? How strong should be the sense of accomplishment that comes from thinking about these questions?
Even putting aside these things that cannot be said clearly to others, Hongwen Seal Society has also benefited a lot from this process. After all, this new style of poetry and this brand-new literary proposition were exclusively released and promoted by Hongwen Yinshe. The more people accepted the idea of ??new literature, the authoritative status of Hongwen Yinshe and its affiliated "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly" gradually became more and more popular. The smooth expansion process of Hongwen Seal Society in the North is one of the best examples.
One day, the land will not be divided into north and south, and people will be old and young. Hongwen Yinshe and "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly" will surely become a banner leading the public opinion of Shilin. In this era, those who win Shilin means winning the hearts of the people.
This is the solid foundation that Karamatsu has laid for himself as a time traveler.
While the two were talking, they heard a commotion outside. Before Tang Song could ask questions, He Zhizhang ran out to ask questions. Later, he returned to the door and waved to Karamatsu, "Go out and take a look, there is a lot of excitement."
There was nothing going on in the official room, so Tang Song simply followed him to the door of Shangshu Province. Along the way, he met many officials who behaved in the same way as them.
By the time the two of them arrived at the gate, there was already a crowd of people inside and outside the gate. Fortunately, He Zhizhang opened the way, and Tang Song followed him through the layers of people at the gate.
When I finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, I saw that the gates of the temple supervisors on both sides of the imperial city were already full of people. This time it was obviously a collective outburst from all the major yamen in the imperial city, which triggered this lively scene. They are a group of people walking in the middle of the imperial city.
This group of people numbered about a thousand, and they lined up neatly. There were people wearing various costumes in the team, including white-haired old farmers in rough clothes, potbellied businessmen in brocade clothes, scholars in Qingjin, and craftsmen in silk clothes. There are even singers and dancers wearing heavy makeup. In short, this group of people is represented in every industry that the world can think of.
And walking in front of this group of people from all walks of life was the chief minister of the current government, Wu Chengsi. A step behind him, followed by another man wearing royal robes. It was also under He Zhizhang's introduction that Tang Song finally met Wu Sansi himself for the first time.
Wu Chengsi looked solemn and held a watch in both hands while bowing. Leading Wu Sansi and more than a thousand people's representatives to the palace solemnly, Tang Song, like everyone else around him, didn't know what Wu Sansi was performing, but everyone knew that this time it would be something serious.
Subsequently, chaotic news came in. It was said that the more than a thousand people who could enter the imperial city were only a small part. Just outside the imperial city, there were still about 25,000 people gathered. As for what they were going to do, it is still unclear to this day. Not revealed.
Under the watchful eyes of Manhuangcheng, this strange team finally arrived at the Chengtian Gate of Miyagi City. Due to the good position occupied by the Minister of Public Affairs, Tang Song clearly saw Wu Chengsi leading Wu Sansi and others to perform the three-kowtow-nine-bow ceremony that was only seen at the Great Court. Afterwards, Wu Chengsi, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hands high. of table seal. Immediately, the eunuch on duty took the watch and quickly sent it into the palace.
Wu Chengsi and others just knelt down and waited. When Tang Song and others were about to see the outcome of this great bustle, they saw several other ministers from the political hall coming one after another, forcing those watching the fun at the door to return quickly. Withdrawing, the first person to reach the door of Shangshu Province was Mr. Li Zhaode. Tang Song saw with his own eyes that his face was ashen, and his tone was extremely harsh when he ordered everyone to return to the Yamen.
Li Zhaode was the highest official of the Li Party in the government after Di Renjie resigned as prime minister. What on earth made him so angry?
Although everyone returned to the Yamen and sat in the official rooms, there were only a few people in Manhuang City who were willing to do things. However, no one took advantage of this rare opportunity to escape, and the imperial city, which used to be quite noisy, fell into a strange silence.
Everyone is waiting. Wait for a reason, wait for a result.
What exactly is Erwu going to do?
What will be the outcome of what they are going to do?
Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the time to disperse the Yamen at noon. Just when many officials smacked their lips in regret, the final news finally came back.
The purpose of Wu Chengsi leading Wu Sansi and more than 26,000 people to the table this time was to ask the Holy God Emperor to give him the title of "Emperor of the Wheel God of Yue Ancient and Modern Times"
After receiving the seal, Wu Zetian happily accepted it and summoned the Erwu and some representatives of the petitioning people. He comforted everyone, and then summoned the political hall to discuss matters and issued an edict for amnesty for the world.
Wu Chengsi¡¯s move was obviously a drunkard¡¯s intention. After Tang Song confirmed the news, he only had one thought in his mind, ¡°The merger of the two martial arts is certain, and history may really change unexpectedly.¡±
As if to support his view, a similar scene happened again the next morning. Wu Chengsi is still the leader, and Wu Sansi is still following Wu Chengsi closely, but this time the team behind them has been replaced by Siyi Hu people wearing various Hu costumes, and they vaguely represent They were hundreds of foreign people from Jisi Prefecture under the command of Wu Zhou.
This time they submitted a petition to cast copper and iron as Tianshu in Luoyang in order to "depose the Tang Dynasty and sue the Zhou Dynasty". The scale of the Tianshu was shocking in the world. If it could be built, it would be more than a hundred meters tall. Make it the most distant palace city and become the highest thing in the divine capital.
It is named Tianshu, and the purpose of its establishment is to depose the Tang Dynasty Zhou Dynasty. The regulations set are so supreme that its symbolic meaning is obvious.
On the first day, Wu Chengsi led people's representatives from 160 prefectures directly under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou to pray for the emperor to grant him a title. On the second day, he led nearly 700 people's representatives from Jisu Prefecture to request the construction of Tianshu, which was unprecedented in scale. He appeared as the general representative of the people of the world, and his meaning was already like a lice on a bald man's head - it was obvious.
Fortunately, Wu Zetian also comforted these Siyi barbarians with gentle words.However, there was no immediate response to the presented seal. Instead, it was handed over to the political hall for discussion.
Needless to say, this was another quarrel. Li Zhaode took the lead in objecting, and his words were so passionate that he had no regard for the dignity of the prime minister. Wu Chengsi, the chief minister who was involved in the incident, not only did not avoid it as usual, but instead went into battle shirtless. The two prime ministers were there. There was a huge quarrel in the political hall, and a fight almost broke out.
Afterwards, the entire court was like a hornet's nest that had been overturned. The disputes in the political hall were magnified ten times and hundreds of times before being staged again. The memorials flew towards the inner court like snowflakes. In this regard, Wu Zetian was just like when encountering major events before. All the same, without saying a word, just watching the controversy.
It was in this chaos that Tang Song was called to Lu Yuanfang's official room. ()¡ª¡ª
