Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 370 You are a capable person, I can put him to great use, eh?
"The meaning in these words seems that not only is there no dissatisfaction with Chen Zhi, but he wants to get close and win over him. What's going on? When Chen Zhi first came, Da Honglu had a prejudice against him, and often Reprimand? It has only been a month, but your attitude has changed and it has become so violent? What happened to Honglu Temple while I was busy? "

The predecessor of Dianke Ling was the Daxing Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was entitled to six hundred stones and was a seventh-rank official rank. In the past, before the unification of the New Han Dynasty, it was once a fifth-rank official, and then gradually decreased.

At the beginning of the Qin and Han Dynasties, Dian Ke was close to the Nine Qings. Later, he was listed separately and belonged directly to Dahong Luqing. Now, like Tai Leling, he belongs to a position of low rank but with higher authority. Because he is in The center is a good place to get in touch with foreign friends, so it is also a good place to get qualifications.

However, compared to the Taile Ling, the ownership of the Dianke Ling is relatively simple. The person in charge is the Baibang Pavilion, which is also commonly known as the guest pavilion. It is used to receive foreigners traveling from south to north, mostly envoys. According to the original saying of the imperial court, Dianke Ling was to take charge of guests from all over the world.

In addition, this is an organizational center all over the country, which can be seen from the subordinate officers of Dianke Ling - the subordinate officials of Dianke Ling are not as complicated as Taile Ling, but the structure is larger and the tentacles Throughout the prefectures and counties, in addition to the two capital safus who assist the officials in Luoyang, each of the following states has a state safu who is used to receive and manage foreigners in each state. There are also assistants.

It is conceivable that such a position has a heavy workload. Anyone who wants to make some achievements will have no time to spare.

The current Dian Ke Ling is named Shen Xie, and he comes from a low-ranking family. Unlike Chen Zhi, he was already at the end of his prime when he took this position. It took many years before I could serve as a Dian Ke Ling, so I took this position very seriously and acted conscientiously in my daily life.

As soon as the news came that the Huns had sent envoys, they also said that people from various Xianbei tribes would come to Luoyang one after another. After hearing the news, Shen Xie has been making overall arrangements. He is very tiring every day. Most of the time, he eats and sleeps in guesthouses. He didn't even pay much attention to the changes in Honglu Temple, let alone Da Honglu's likes and dislikes of certain people recently.

However, he still knew something about Chen Zhi. After all, the recent news in Luoyang City was related to Chen Zhi, and no one else could get around it. But he also knew that before Chen Zhi came, his boss He had a prejudice against Chen Zhi. When Chen Zhi came into contact with Honglu Temple as a subordinate official of Taichang Mansion, the great Honglu Zhao Min did not give him much good looks.

Why have you changed your tone and tone after not seeing each other for a while?

Unable to figure out his boss's thoughts, Shen Xie did not dare to express his position easily. He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Shangqing, shall I call one or two officers to bring Chen Zhi here by force?"

"Why bring it by force?" Zhao Min frowned, "If Chen Zhi misunderstands and thinks that I want to go against him, then the explanation will be wasted and unsatisfactory, so let someone report it. Just say that I asked him to come over to discuss the follow-up matters. After all, the Huns also arrested him, so there should be an explanation."

"Yes, I understand." Shen Xie was full of doubts, but after hearing this, he also knew what attitude to face Chen Zhi, but he could not help but mutter in his heart that when Chen Zhi killed the little prince of the Huns, the news spread When he arrived in the capital, Zhao Min even had conflicts with others in the court because of this and firmly opposed Chen Zhi's actions. As a result, if he wanted to call Chen Zhi over now, he would have to consider the other party's mood.

As if seeing the doubts of his subordinates, Zhao Min smiled and said: "You don't have to think too much, it's just an envoy of the Huns, it's not a big deal, since they took the initiative to provoke and act arrogantly in the capital, they should be punished, I oppose going to war with the Huns , not because of fear of the Huns, but because of the situation of the Han people themselves. As for Chen Zhi, he is a talented person, of course I respect him."

As he said that, he turned his eyes and glanced at Mingtang Ling Jifa who was present, and said with a smile: "The two of you have come to help us as foreign ministers. In the past few days, you have made many achievements in Honglu Temple. This is to abandon the sectarian views and work wholeheartedly. Public performance.”

Ji Fa quickly stood up and said: "This is all the credit of Chen Taile. How dare I take the credit? I am just playing the drums on the side, not even checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. But being able to work with Chen Taile is indeed a great pleasure in my life. I have benefited a lot." As he spoke, he smiled subconsciously, looking proud.

His appearance made Shen Xie more and more confused.

"Even this Ji Fa said this? His tone has become quite serious! I remember that when he first came here, this person also sought out our subordinate officials of Dahonglu and hinted that he and Chen Zhi were not on the same journey, and also said what Chen Zhi had done , it has nothing to do with him, and it looks like he wants to draw a clear line, but now he is saying this, and it doesn’t seem like he is lying. What happened in the middle?"

However, now was not the right time to learn about the situation. Shen Xie suppressed his curiosity, accepted the order, and went on to make arrangements.

As he left, someone beside Zhao Min stood up and bowed: "Your Excellency, Shen Dianke has been busy with government affairs recently, and he doesn't know much about the situation. He made sudden arrangements for fear of omissions, so why don't you go over and check with him to fill in the gaps?" .”

Zhao Min looked around and saw that it was Mei Jing, the master of ceremonies. He nodded and said, "Okay, go and talk to him to avoid misunderstandings with Chen Zhi."

"No!" Mei Jing nodded, bid farewell to everyone, and quickly chased after him.In the front, Shen Xie was walking forward with his head lowered, still thinking about the doubts in his heart, and preparing to ask one or two officials for clarification, so as not to misunderstand what he knew.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone calling my name. When I turned around, I saw that it was my friend Mei Jing.

The Master of Ceremonies Office, which is in charge of the Master of Ceremonies, was established by the New Han Dynasty. It is in charge of funerals and funerals. Its functions and powers are mostly auxiliary, and it often follows Da Honglu.

Mei Jing and Shen Xie are from the same hometown and have a good relationship. They came here because they really wanted to remind them, so they were not polite and went straight to the point: "Da Honglu asked you to negotiate with Chen Zhi, and also asked you to negotiate with him first. The meaning of familiarity is that now that the Huns are captured, others will inevitably criticize and express their opinions. They are most afraid of misunderstandings by the envoys of various tribes. They all live in the Baibang Pavilion. Everything they say and do is for you to observe. If there is any sign of something wrong, Don't make any arbitrary decisions. While informing Da Honglu, you can also send someone to inform Chen Zhi as a reminder."

"Why is this?" Facing his friend, Shen Xie finally asked his doubts, "It's enough to tell Da Honglu. That's what it should be. Why do you need to send someone to tell Chen Zhi? This is a bit against the rules. Yes, everyone seems to have high regard for Chen Zhi since Da Honglu, but I remember that this was not the case at first."

"Because you are busy receiving people from all over the world these days, you don't know that Chen Zhi, as the liaison person, has caused great changes in Honglu Temple. Even the chaos of the classics that Da Honglu hated most since he took office has been eliminated. Did he straighten everything out?"

"Did this Chen Zhi sort out the volume collection?" Shen Xie was startled, frowning and asked, "How many volumes did he sort out?"

"Not only did he sort out the many volumes, but it only took him three days to sort the files into categories. He also made a chronology and an outline of all the previous envoys, so that it would be convenient for the caretakers of the library. Store and retrieve.”

"All?" Shen Xie's eyes widened with surprise on his face, "You mean all the files? How is this possible?"

Mei Jing smiled and said: "I was also very surprised when I first heard it, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I have to believe it. Of course, there are still some miscellaneous chapters that cannot be classified, but Chen Zhi is really well-known. Among the many fragmentary details, I found some sentences, marked them out, and deduced several possible origins, which saved a lot of effort. Later, the people in the volume collection library only needed to grind their hands with water and compare them bit by bit. I believe you can find out the source.”

The volume collection hall of Honglu Temple is actually a place where the files of envoys coming and going are stored, which includes copies of the credentials of both parties and records of visitors.

As a dynasty in the Central Plains, the New Han Dynasty was rich all over the world. It was common for countries to come to the DPRK, and there were a large number of documents exchanged. Honglu Temple, as an external institution and reception institution, naturally had to shoulder the responsibility.

However, due to the chaotic management in the past, the volume library as the core place has always been in chaos. If the court needs to find something, it often requires a large number of people to search for many days in a row to find the relevant information. For the longest time, I even searched for records for nearly a month. Of course, there were many times when I could not find relevant records.

This time, the envoys from various countries included the Xiongnu who had just won a great victory, and the various ministries of Xianbei that the imperial court wanted to support and win over. The yamen has to send manpower over to help. Since the manpower is occupied here, other matters will progress slowly, affecting the operation of the entire yamen.

But the most different thing this time is that Taichang Mansion sent people to help, including Chen Zhi.

When Chen Zhi proposed to help organize the library, everyone at Honglu Temple was surprised, but no one thought he could accomplish anything. The prejudiced Honglu Zhao Min even wanted to After knocking on Chen Zhi, he set a seven-day deadline for him to find the corresponding interview records, otherwise no matter what.

In the eyes of others, this is a rather harsh condition.

But the answer sheet given by Chen Zhi shocked them beyond measure.

"I clearly remember Da Honglu's shocked expression when he saw the sorted volume library," Mei Jing shook his head and smiled, "After that, Chen Zhi continued to work on the selection and management of etiquette people. , gave some suggestions, which saved the corresponding bureaucracy a lot of tedious work, and made Da Honglu change his mind and be willing to reuse him. But at this time, Taichang Deng Meng came with an order to let Chen Zhi Go prepare for the literary review."
