Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 520 Winter Sprouts
As a central center, Taicheng generally maintains a curfew, but there are also special circumstances, such as major celebrations, or occasional gatherings initiated by high-ranking Taifu.

Shen Zhezi is naturally not in a high position, but he is very popular.As each government office finished its official duties for the day, people arrived at the Dongcao government office one after another.

Ji You and others, who had met in Taige earlier, came together again, and when they saw Shen Zhezi's dignified place in the official office, they all had weird expressions on their faces.

"I've always known that you, Wei Zhou, are different everywhere you go. But to be able to get such a good stable in Taichung, isn't that an exaggeration!"

Ji Youli went around for a week, and there was no lack of envy in his words. He has been an official in Taichung for a long time. Even though he moved into a new official office at the beginning of the month, the place he lives in is still cramped. It is almost the same as Shen Zhezi's place. Just can't compare.

"That's right, the son-in-law has to be good in daily life and appointment, which is really enviable."

The other person who expressed emotion was Xie Shang. Compared to Ji You, he was undoubtedly more qualified to express emotion.Because his current official position belongs to Xi Cao, the East and West Cao have always been two parallel departments under the government, but one is external and the other is internal.

However, the Xicao government office where Xie Shang was located was not so lucky. It was located in the east of Taicheng, almost close to Tongyuan, and it was not even their turn to schedule repairs.Today, they still live in the old government office with dilapidated porch and crumbling beams.

As Xi Cao's second-in-command, Xie Shang had repeatedly asked Chang Shi and even the directors in Taiwan to pay more attention to their office environment and living environment.However, Changshi's main service target is the Taibao, so he can't help but be a little slack about the following demands.Yousi, on the other hand, made a lot of excuses, just saying that the new bureau was really lacking, and asked them to be considerate of the difficulties.

Xi Cao is in charge of the promotion of officials in the government office, which is originally a weighty department, but because it only faces the inside of the government office, it inevitably has little influence in the entire Taiwan.But even if he can't compare with Tosoh in terms of position and power, such a disparity in treatment is really embarrassing enough.

Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing when he heard their emotion.Originally, he thought that although the official office was good, it was just a place to live, but when he saw Ji You, Xie Shang's faces full of envy and jealousy, he felt superior.It can be seen that there has never been any standard of good or bad in life, and the high and low are all compared.

Zhang Jian, as Shen Zhezi's deputy, was busy in and out of work, and he greeted every visitor with a smile, so Shen Zhezi didn't need to distract himself from socializing.The appearance of responding decently does not show the arrogance of Wang Zong, the former surname of China and North Korea, and the unfamiliarity with personnel entertainment from a clean-up background.

It was getting late and more and more officials were present, and the originally spacious government office gradually became a little cramped.After all, the so-called spaciousness is only relatively speaking, and it is not enough to compare with the large manors outside that often occupy several or even tens of hectares.Nearly a hundred people were present, already giving people a sense of crowding with no place to settle.

Although Zhang Jian is also busy running and resettling, but the conditions are limited, he can't change more space. Seeing that there are people outside the official office arriving one after another, his face is gradually showing bitterness, and he can't help but sigh secretly for the son-in-law in Taichung. The appeal is still underestimated.

Not long after, another young man in fox fur came to the scene led by his servants. Zhang Jian rushed to meet him, and only after he walked in did he recognize that it was Wang Huzhi. Going up: "The gate is cramped, it is really an abrupt and distinguished guest. Please wait a moment, Wang Yu, the son-in-law will come to greet you immediately."

Wang Huzhi stood at the door and was not in a hurry to go in. Seeing the noisy scene in the court, he had an unnatural expression on his face. Seeing the sweat on Zhang Jian's busy forehead, he said with a smile: "Brother Mingzhao Originally, it was also a clean job, but you have to reluctantly take on the common duties. It is really hard for you. The Taibao also said that after the abolition of Dongcao, a new creation also needs a clear-minded and talented old man like Brother Ming Zhao to take on it. Let things get on track as soon as possible. Brother Mingzhao is also a person who can do more work, so brother Mingzhao must be considerate."

After Zhang Jian heard this, the smile on his face faltered slightly, and then he said with a smile: "I am flattered by the reputation of repairing age. Dongcao is now back in the camp, and the Taibao is the head of the son-in-law. It can be regarded as employing people according to their ability. I am also in charge of food and salary, how dare I boast that I have worked too hard."

While he was talking, Shen Zhezi had already hurried over from behind, and he cupped his hands to Wang Huzhi from afar and said, "Brother Xiu Ling was able to miss the night to come here to gather together, I am really honored."

Wang Huzhi was a little embarrassed by Zhang Jian's words. After hearing Shen Zhezi's words, he turned his eyes away and said with a forced smile: "I'm going to disappoint my son-in-law. I can't stay here for a long time, so I can only congratulate the son-in-law here. Another thing is that the Taibao has something to say, there are many old friends in Taiwan, and the son-in-law is new, so there is no need to be in a hurry. Hey, I will get more help and be more calm when doing things in the future. If the office cannot be arranged, you might as well move it to Xiaosong Pavilion in the mansion, and it will be reserved for the son-in-law for a few days."

After Wang Huzhi finished speaking, he politely said goodbye and left.Shen Zhezi stood at the gate of the official office, watching Wang Huzhi's back gradually disappear into the night with a half-smile.

"My son-in-law, there are indeed too many guests, and the office is unusable. Do you want to make another arrangement?"

Zhang Jian stood aside and asked for instructions.

Shen Zhezi nodded after hearing the words, and said: "Since the Taibao has given instructions, let the gentlemen in the court be informed to move to Xiaosong Pavilion."

When Zhang Jian heard this, he turned his head to arrange the arrangement, and then another person came over and recounted the conversation between Wang Huzhi and Zhang Jian just now.Shen Zhezi was overjoyed when he heard the words. Wang Huzhi's words were clearly instigating Zhang Jian to compete with him for power in the office, but Zhang Jian's response was not lacking in reason.

From this point, it is not enough to say that Wang Huzhi is reckless, but it can give people a clear impression that the second generation of the Wang family is really dead.He neither has the overall and all-inclusive wrist and mind like the Taibao, nor does he have the unrivaled military power of Wang Dun in his early years. He has gradually become unable to grasp the development of the situation.

Of course, this is not enough to cause the Wang family to fall from the high-ranking order in an instant, but it is impossible to stand firmly in the center of the situation like Nandu's first generation.And history has also proved that even without Shen Zhezi's participation, they will eventually be marginalized by the successors.

Shen Zhezi didn't really mind that Wang Huzhi put eye drops on his subordinates. Right now, time was definitely on his side. Even if he didn't do anything anymore, he just needed to wait for Wang Dao's death with peace of mind, and he would gradually rise to power. In the future, when he takes charge of the center, the Wang family will no longer be in trouble.

Although this rhythm is stable, it is too slow for Shen Zhezi. A mere big river is not enough to completely block the north and south, making Jiangdong a paradise isolated from the world. If you want to really ride the waves in this era, then Must be aggressive.Firstly, Jiangdong is limited by the region, and secondly, because of insufficient background, the focus of this era is still the changes in the situation in the Central Plains.

Therefore, knowing that the current situation is very good, Shen Zhezi is not satisfied with this. He needs to win a more favorable position in the past few years before the situation in the Central Plains changes greatly, so that he can join the Central Plains Ding with more confidence. industry competition.

Not long after, all the guests from the Dongcao government office came out again, and moved to the Xiaosong Pavilion in the Taibao government office not far away, which was used for receiving guests.The high-ranking officials in Taichung also have their own special places for receiving guests. Although the name of Xiaosong Pavilion has a small name, its scale is even much larger than that of Shen Zhezi's Dongcao official office.

The distribution ratio of the spatial location in Taicheng is quite consistent with the political environment.Although the number of high-level Taifu officials is small, they occupy nearly half of the entire Taicheng City, and their authority is also extremely difficult for these lower-level officials to provoke.

Shen Zhezi's induction banquet was very lively, and the military guards even sent guards to open up several special passages for guests to come and go.

As more guests arrived in the follow-up, there were more than 200 guests at the final banquet, accounting for nearly half of the Tai Chen quota.With so many people present, not all of them were following others, and some of them were indeed negotiating with each other in terms of future ministry and official affairs.As Director Wang said, if we can maintain harmony in human relations, it will be much more convenient in politics, and at least we can avoid many unnecessary constraints.

Putting aside Shen Zhezi's own status and reputation, although the scope of his duties as Dong Cao's is only in personnel affairs, he is a senior official who faces two thousand stones inside and outside, so the scope of involvement is also huge, and his influence is by no means small .Apart from the young people present, many high-ranking officials from the Nine Ministers sent people to say hello even though they did not come in person.

In the past, it would be fine if there was no Dong Cao Zhi, but now that there is one, and the chief officer is not a weak person, so if those two thousand stone officials want to make a move in the future, they cannot ignore the role played by Dong Cao Yuan here. role.

Director Wang's willingness to place Shen Zhezi in this position is enough to show that he is not a narrow-minded person.In the past, it was impossible to confer such a position on a person as a starting official, but Shen Zhezi's old honor is too high, even many high-ranking people who have been officials for many years can hardly be compared, so it is really difficult to follow the rules and arrange it. Use.

However, this is not enough to make Shen Zhezi grateful to Director Wang. After all, the current situation is already different from the past.

In this banquet, because the participants are all Taiwan ministers, the topic will not be limited to romance.Therefore, at the meeting, Shen Zhezi also identified Taichang, Guanglu, the Ministry of Officials and other officials from many departments who will be in contact with government affairs in the future, and will have to deal with them frequently in the future.

After all, it is in the important area of ​​Taicheng. Although the atmosphere of the banquet is good, it is not good to celebrate all night long.Therefore, when it came to Haishi, everyone left one after another.

Although Shen Zhezi only drank lightly, but because he was the protagonist of the banquet, he was a bit overwhelmed with alcohol in the end. The gift of the guests could only be left to Zhang Jian and other officials, and he himself went back to the official office to rest.

Although he has entered Taicheng to officially take office, Shen Zhezi still has a buffer period of a few days.Woke up early the next morning, put on the brand-new official robes sent by Yousi, first went to the Taibao official office to listen to the teachings, and called on the officials by the way.

When Shen Zhezi arrived, most of the officials of the Taibao Mansion had already arrived, which made him a little embarrassed. He was late on the first day of employment, so after entering the room, he first confronted the chief who was seated at the top. Shi Meitao made a bow and said: "The new post under the post, Meng Lang has not restrained for a while, and if there is any violation of the rules, I respectfully wait for the long history to be held accountable."

As the chief steward of the mansion, Mei Tao didn't show up and didn't send anyone to congratulate him, but he naturally knew that such an upstart had come to the mansion.After he heard the words, his demeanor was calm, and he just said to Shen Zhezi: "I and other subordinates of the government usually have to come to the mansion at Maoshi to prepare for inquiries. Shen Yu is not late, so don't blame yourself, and take your seat first Right. If the Taibao has any inquiries, he will hear about them later, if not, they will return to their respective departments in a few hours."

After Shen Zhezi thanked him again, he turned to the vacant seat at the end, but before he could sit down, he heard a person from the front say: "Shen Yuxin entered the stage, and he has already responded with one guard, and there has been no such noise in the stage for a long time." , sitting one after the other right now, makes me wait for the seat to panic."

Hearing this slightly sarcasm, Shen Zhezi followed the reputation, and saw a middle-aged man with a long beard looking at him mockingly. After a little thought, he realized that the name of this person was Yin Rong. Hao's uncle.

Shen Zhezi didn't know the reason for his malice. After hearing the words, he just laughed and said, "It's the best thing in the world to add meals in the year and make clothes in the cold weather. The old waves have not faded, and the back waves have risen. At the end, I was lucky to live in the front. Yin Jun may wish to be quiet, so why should he complain about the world, if he is really panic, why not avoid the banquet."

When Yin Rong heard what Shen Zhezi said, his face changed slightly, and then he snorted coldly: "Sprouts grow in the cold winter, and fine waves rise from the bottom of the abyss. Maybe there is a new interest for a while, and it remains to be seen whether it will grow or not." quantity."

Shen Zhezi had just entered an official position, so there was no need to be tit-for-tat with others. After hearing the words, he just smiled, didn't say anything more, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit in the vacant seat next to Xie Shang.

Looking at Xie Shang's consoling eyes, he just smiled and stretched out his finger to draw a cross on the table in front of him. He didn't know why he offended Yin Rong, but he knew that this old boy offended him. For one day in office, this old boy can't even think about getting out of the government and getting two thousand shi in his own hands!

Although he can't directly hinder the opponent's career, as long as there are some alternatives of two thousand stones, he can always find a few stronger competitors for him and force him into a hell mode.From now on, he is the cold winter and the abyss of this old boy!
The first day on the job was really boring.After waiting in the Taibao Mansion for more than half an hour, Shen Zhezi met Wang Dao, and did not discuss any official business. Wang Dao just gave him a warrant, asking him to use it to call on the chief officials of various palaces and temples, and continue to fool around. By the way, I will make a copy of the names and readings of officials at all levels recorded by the Ministry of Officials, and keep it as a reference for future office selection.

　In the new month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass. . .
