Madam, protect me!

"This..."

After thinking about what Zhang Sheren said, everyone felt that it was really feasible.

Being promoted within half a month of taking office was not unique in the history of the court, but it was extremely rare.

The last time someone was promoted right after taking office was his father Li Xuanjing.

He couldn't blame the court for his promotion.

His current official position is the sixth rank, and if he is promoted one level, he will be the fifth rank.

Many chief officials of marginal yamen are just the fifth rank.

And it is reasonable to promote him in two months this time and wait a little longer next time.

Du Yu obviously agreed with Zhang Sheren's suggestion. After thinking it over, he said, "Where should he be promoted?"

Three provinces and six ministries are definitely impossible.

He can cause such a big storm in a place like the Ministry of Rites. If he is allowed to go to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, or all three provinces, wouldn't it be a big deal?

A few of the nine temples can be considered.

Especially those with very little power and a lot of things to do are most suitable for him.

A servant's eyes lit up and said, "Why not let him go to the Honglu Temple? The Honglu Temple Secretary is a fifth-rank official, and he was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Honglu Temple. It is reasonable and no one can find any reason to complain."

The Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign guests and court ceremonies. It has extremely close ties with the Ministry of Rites and the Taichang Temple. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple are often transferred and promoted between the two ministries.

But compared with the Ministry of Rites, the power of the Honglu Temple is much smaller.

They are only responsible for managing envoys from other countries.

To be precise, it is not management, but service.

Envoys from other countries are not considered officials of Daxia.

The Daxia court has no power to manage them. Even if envoys from other countries violate the law in Daxia, they will generally be handed over to their own country for handling.

For example, in the last Sifangguan case, the real culprit behind the scenes was also handed over to the Chu State for handling.

The most important thing is that the Honglu Temple cannot control officials from visiting prostitutes.

He was in the Ministry of Rites, the Secretariat was not relaxed, and the officials in the court were not relaxed either.

He went to the Honglu Temple and was nice to everyone.

Du Yu held Zhang Sheren's hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, I won't say anything extra. If this thing can be done, I will pay for your consumption next time in Lelai Tower..."

As the Sheren in charge of the Ministry of Rites, he was really scared by that man.

He just wanted him to be transferred from the Ministry of Rites. It didn't matter where he was transferred to, just don't let him pass him memorials.

Zhang Sheren smiled and said, "We are all colleagues, Mr. Du is being polite."

Soon, the gong sounded for the end of the yamen, and the officials of the Secretariat left the yamen.

Zhang Sheren walked out of the yamen and walked back to his mansion.

The Sheren of the Secretariat was a fourth-rank official, and was in charge of important government affairs. The court was also very generous to the officials who served as the Sheren of the Secretariat. Every Sheren of the Secretariat would get a mansion not far from the Secretariat when he took office.

However, they only had the right to live in this mansion.

When the Secretary of the Central Secretariat was transferred or demoted, the mansion was also taken back by the court.

When Zhang Sheren returned home, a figure wearing an apron came out of the kitchen, wiped his wet hands on the apron, and said, "Wait a minute, the meal will be ready soon."

While eating, talking about the turmoil in Chang'an in the past two days, the woman said, "Good investigation, those brothels and music halls should be closed, so that you men will not neglect your families all day and only think about finding those unclean women..."

Zhang Sheren ate a few bites of the food cooked by his wife, and then said, "Things are not that simple. Behind these cash cows, there are either royal relatives or relatives of the emperor. How can they be closed so easily? To put it another way, the existence of these brothels also has its meaning. At least, most of the extra energy of the dignitaries can be consumed here. If there were no brothels, with their power and means, some things would not be possible. Imagine, otherwise why do you think the court has always turned a blind eye to these things... "

The woman snorted coldly and said, "These are all excuses for you men. I tell you, I don't care if you socialize, but if you bring any disease home, I won't forgive you!"

Zhang Sheren defended, "How is it possible? Every time I go, I just fight..."

"You still fight?"

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When serving as an official in the court, you can't be too upright, otherwise you will be easily excluded. Madam, you don't want your husband to be excluded, right?"

"You!"

"Don't be angry, your husband is telling the truth..."

After finishing the meal in a chaotic manner, Zhang Sheren returned to the study, rubbed his waist that had been pinched several times, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said softly, "Master, I have tried my best..."

...

Ministry of Rites.

After leaving the yamen for a long time, Li Nuo walked out of the yamen.

The entire Ministry of Rites is running out of paper. They have to buy more tomorrow.

After leaving the yamen, Li Nuo did not go home, but went to the Song Mansion.

Today, the beauty returned to the Song Mansion. Li Nuo had a meal at the Song family in the afternoon and then went home with her.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Li Nuo saw the beauty for the first time at the dinner table in the Song Mansion.

But she didn't even look at him, and ate by herself.

Halfway through the meal, Song Zhe suddenly looked at Li Nuo and said, "Recently, your official position may be transferred, you must be mentally prepared."

Li Nuo had already prepared himself, otherwise he would not have submitted those memorials.

Su Qing asked, "Why so fast, where to transfer?"

Her husband had been an official for twenty years and had only been transferred a few times. Li Nuo had only been an official for a short time, so she was a little surprised that he was transferred so quickly.

Song Zhe said: "The three provinces have initially decided that he should go to Honglu Temple and serve as the chief minister of Honglu Temple."

Su Qing had no idea about official positions and asked, "Have you been promoted or demoted?"

Song Zhe said: "The official of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang, is in the sixth rank, and the minister of Honglu Temple is in the fifth rank. In terms of official rank, he has been promoted one level."

Su Qing said: "That's a good thing. Why do you look like this?"

Song Zhe shook his head and said: "Although the official rank has been promoted, the power has been reduced a lot. It can be regarded as an overt promotion and covert demotion. It seems that this time the brothels are rectified and the official's prostitution has caused public outrage, so this will He was promoted to the edge yamen..."

Although the Book of Rites talks about power, it is the lowest among the six.

But compared to Honglu Temple, it is much better.

According to the practice of the Daxia court, Honglu Temple was used for the retirement of officials of the Ministry of Rites.

At such a young age, going to a marginal government office like Honglu Temple and sitting on the bench is not a demotion.

Other departments still have some power in their hands.

For example, the Ministry of Rites is also responsible for maintaining etiquette and law.

Once the officials of the Ministry of Rites are conscientious, they will make it difficult for officials as low as the ninth rank and high officials as high as the first rank.

The daily routine of officials at Honglu Temple is to meet the requests of envoys from other countries and deal with disputes between envoys from other countries.

Before Li Nuo said anything, Su Qing slapped his chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "This is how your court does things. Let the top scholar in the sixth subject do such a thing. Isn't Li Xuanjing very powerful? Just look at his son Being bullied like this!”

Song Zhe explained: "He is the minister of Dali Temple and has no control over the appointments of the court. However, this is not entirely a bad thing. Under normal circumstances, it will take five years to rise from the sixth rank to the fifth rank if it is fast, and it will take five years if it is slow. It takes more than ten years, and some people may not even be promoted in their lifetime. It only took him two months. No matter where he is transferred in the future, he will never be lower than the fifth grade..."

I have a father-in-law who is an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Not only has his official career been smooth, but at least I can get news of his promotion in advance every time.

Although being transferred to Honglu Temple was something Li Nuo had not expected.

But being promoted was beyond his expectation.

As my father-in-law said, it is easy to transfer from the position of the Minister of Rites to be the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, but if he is transferred back again, he will no longer be the Minister of Rites.

If he could be transferred a few more times, it wouldn't matter where he became an official.

He still has more than 3,000 days to live, enough time to play with them slowly.

After dinner, the lady was called by the old lady to talk.

Song Yiren was practicing swordplay in the yard, and Li Nuo walked past her, but she seemed not to notice.

Li Nuo came back and asked, "Did I offend you?"

Song Yiren glanced at him lightly and said, "No."

Li Nuo said: "Then your attitude towards me was not like this before."

Song Yiren looked calm and said, "I'm not your wife, what attitude do you want me to have?"

Li Nuo was speechless by her rebuke. She picked up the sword and said, "Get out of the way, I'm going to practice sword practice."

Li Nuo walked to the corridor, and she was practicing her sword by herself in the courtyard.

Li Nuo didn't ask for trouble. After the beauty came back from the old lady's place, he went home with her.

Su Qing walked out of the room and saw Song Yiren who was still in the courtyard, and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going back with them?"

Song Yiren put away her sword and said, "Where are you going back? That's Song Jiaren's home. Why should I go back there?"

Growing up, Yiren rarely talked back to her.

Su Qing could feel the resentment in her heart, but he was not angry. He just said: "You are her sister. Other women can live there. Why can't you?"

Song Yiren was surprised that her mother wasn't angry when she talked to her like that just now.

She was ready to be scolded by her.

It seems that she is really not the mother she used to be.

Can love really make such a big change in a person?

Mother is like this.

The same is true for Song Jiaren.

Not even Yuqing's determination could stop her from falling in love with him.

It's so touching...

From the start, she was redundant.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Su Qing, and said, "I'm going back to Sanqing Sect..."
