Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 96 What Tian Shigong asks is nothing but worship
"Xiaguan Tian Shigong wishes the Grand Scholar well."

Chen Yunfu looked at the respectful Tian Shigong in front of him, thinking about one thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang only promoted himself at noon today, and it has only been a few hours since Tian Shigong knew about it?
The official document of this appointment has not yet been issued, and it is impossible for Tian Shigong to have an internal response in the palace, so it is said.

This wind was released by Yuqiansi.

What is Lao Zhu's plan in mind?

Temporarily suppressing the confusion in his heart, Chen Yunfu stood up and bowed his hands in return: "Tian Shilang is above Chen, why is he so humble."

The smile on Tian Shigong's face was more or less flattering: "The Grand Scholar is really too humble. Now everyone in the court doesn't know that you have taken up the post of Wenyuan Pavilion and Tongzheng Envoy. Hearing about this, no, the first time I came to congratulate the grand scholar."

"This is Shao Butang's mansion."

"Your Majesty, this is also a letter from the concierge of the Grand Master's Mansion."

This Tian Shigong is a good runner.

Although Chen Yunfu was displeased, he still nodded and said in a gesture: "Tian Shilang, please sit down."

"Bachelors sit first."

Chen Yunfu didn't bother to be polite to this Tian Shigong, he just sat down and went to get the teapot, the latter walked up to him with quick eyesight and two small steps, picked up the teapot and poured it for Chen Yunfu, even more respectfully cupped it with both hands and presented it to Chen Yunfu.

This posture is too low.

A majestic right servant of the official department, bowing down and serving tea to himself?
To be honest, at this moment, Chen Yunfu felt a sense of self-satisfaction. To put it more simply, he wanted to float.

"Tian Shilang is too polite."

"Should, should."

Tian Shigong rubbed his hands, and carefully sat down opposite Chen Yunfu with a respectful and flattering smile.

The upper body is leaning forward straightly, and the buttocks are only lowered by a small half, so that once Chen Yunfu speaks, he can stand up and answer at any time.

This is also the standard sitting posture for subordinates in officialdom when they face their superiors.

"Tian servant sir."

"The subordinate is here."

As soon as Tian Shigong heard Chen Yunfu speak, he stood up, causing the latter to wave his hands repeatedly: "Let's sit down and talk if we have anything to say."

"Okay, okay." Tian Shigong continued his zama-step sitting posture, and said respectfully: "The senior scholar, the lower official is also the official department who was transferred from the Shaanxi chief envoy Si Zuo to participate in politics last year. Many tasks in the official department are also the same. I have just mastered a little bit, so I want to report to you, Grand Scholar, for advice."

Instead of going to the Shangshu to report and ask for advice on the work of the official department, you came to me?

Chen Yunfu wanted to laugh, he didn't want to hear it at first, but when he thought that he was still in charge of the work of the Minister of General Affairs, he could indeed understand something, so he nodded.

"Since that's the case, please tell me, Tian Shilang, I will listen with all my ears."

With Chen Yunfu's permission, Tian Shigong corrected his posture and reported all the affairs of the officials in detail.

He is the servant of the right, in charge of the official affairs in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian.

"Great scholar, the shortage of officials in the three provinces is very serious now. Many prefectures and counties don't even have chief officials, and the officials can't sleep day and night. I hope that this year's Spring Festival will be held soon, so that talents can fill the vacancies in the three provinces." , Of course, it would be even better if the Grand Scholar can show you something."

Chen Yunfu held his teacup in thought, and just about to speak, Shao Zhi had already changed his clothes and walked out, and both of them got up.

"Shao Butang (uncle).

Here Chen Yunfu calls Uncle Shao Zhi because everyone inside and outside the court knows that he has a good relationship with Shao Zhi. It's come to this point.

Even so, it was enough to make Tian Shigong more humble when facing Shao Zhi.

Shao Zhi didn't know the purpose of Tian Shigong's visit, so he sat down and said: "Tian Shilang has to visit the door today, so I will stay for a light meal, let the old man enjoy the friendship of the landlord, and Tian Shilang can drink a few glasses of thin wine and gossip. It's common for three or two."

I heard that the elegance of these ancients is ink marks. If it is Chen Yunfu, four words can explain it clearly.

What are you doing here?

Of course Tian Shigong wanted to stay, but seeing that Chen Yunfu didn't seem to want to stay by himself, he waved his hand and refused.

"No, no, this official is here to find a senior scholar to report the official vacancies in the three provinces of Zhejiang face to face, and secondly to visit the Ministry Hall, but this time he came uninvited. I hope the Ministry Hall will forgive me if there is any disturbance."

While speaking, he took out a brocade box from the sleeve of his robe and put it on the table: "It's the first time I come here and I don't know what the Butang likes, so I prepared a small gift on my own initiative, and I hope the Butang will not dislike it."

The brocade box was opened, and inside was a Jade Guanyin.

It is crystal clear and bright in color. Chen Yunfu doesn't understand jade but he can see that it is a good piece.

Chen Yunfu thought, if he was at home, this jade would be given to him.

Moreover, what Tian Shigong said was clear enough, for the first time to visit, it would be better to be empty-handed.

The value of jade is difficult to grasp, just like antique calligraphy and painting, it is really the most suitable gift, what is it called, elegant bribe.

The smile on Shao Zhi's face was still there, but he just refused: "Tian Shilang is too polite, the old man has taken your heart, please take the things back."

"This."

Tian Shigong was hesitating, when Chen Yunfu spoke.

"Do you want Tian Shilang to stay and have a light meal before leaving?"

The words were words to keep people, but the tone was not the enthusiasm to keep people. Tian Shigong knew that Chen Yunfu was a little annoyed, so he dared not delay, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.

"I still have something to do at the Xiaguan's house, so I won't stay here any longer today, and I'll come to see you next time, next time."

As he was about to turn around and leave, Chen Yunfu called out.

"Tian Shilang dropped something."

Not only people have to leave, things have to be taken away.

"That's right, that's right, look at your memory." Tian Shigong didn't forget to cover his face, turned around, picked up his things and left.

Neither Shao Zhi nor Chen Yunfu sent them off.

After Tian Shigong left, Shao Zhi looked at Chen Yunfu and said, "My son-in-law, this is Tian Shigong?"

"Come to find me."

Chen Yunfu smiled wryly, told the reason for Tian Shigong's visit, and finally brought up the matter of official vacancies in the three provinces.

"What does Yue Zhang think?"

After pondering for a while, Shao Zhi said with a smile, "Tian Shigong is sending you a disciple for your son-in-law."

"That's right." Chen Yunfu shook his head, sighed and said, "Yue Zhang's words are not false at all, my boy has just been transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion, and some people can't sit still, they are rushing to worship you. "

What Tian Shigong said is not difficult to understand. He is the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the administration of the three provinces, and now there are a large number of official vacancies in the three provinces, so Tian Shigong said, "It would be great if the university scholars have instructions." In a word, he expressed his position to Chen Yunfu. If Chen Yunfu wanted to arrange some of his own people to serve in the three provinces, then he, the servant in charge of the administration of the three provinces, would definitely obey.

In the officialdom, you help me and I help you, everyone, as long as Chen Yunfu recognizes Tian Shigong's heart, then Tian Shigong will naturally become Chen Yunfu's person, and he can follow the trend.

Since then, he has transformed himself into a member of the Chen party. Speaking out, he is also a person who has found an organization and has a mountain background.

"The virtuous son-in-law didn't agree?" Shao Zhi joked, "How can I say that Tian Shigong is also the right servant of the Ministry of Officials."

"This kind of bureaucrats who are only thinking about running for officials and seeking political resources for themselves, how dare I accept them."

Chen Yunfu shook his head and smiled.

"Let him go."
