The rise of the president in the harem

"What are you arguing about?" Gao Yue asked An Ri again.

An Ri listened for a while this time, and said succinctly: "The great tributary country has paid tribute to rare animals, and the two of them are arguing about where to raise them." As if knowing that Gao Yue would ask again, he added, "Zhang Shilang advocates keeping them temporarily." Master Ge does not agree to the entry of beasts into the palace."

"Well, let's go in." Gao Yue had a solid idea in his heart, and also had a rough judgment on the attitudes of the two people and the possible hidden purpose behind their respective propositions.

The yamen compound was quite crowded, especially at the gate. Gao Yue saw that many of the people blocking the gate seemed to be taking the opportunity to slip away, so he guessed that these people probably worked overtime for many days, and every day they worked overtime. It was because of disagreement with the immediate superiors, and many jobs had to wait for their quarrels to come to an end before taking action. Therefore, I felt dissatisfied and dared not speak out, so I had to use this kind of action to vent.

This kind of situation also exists in modern times. The solution is nothing more than a clear division of labor from top to bottom, and then the responsibility falls to the individual.

However, the current situation of the Ministry of Rites obviously does not meet the conditions for a clear division of labor.

The people in the Ministry of Etiquette in the Dark Sun looked like a group of logs. Gao Yue had entered the door but no one noticed. He immediately coughed in dissatisfaction and shouted loudly: "Mr. Bi Yan is here, why don't you pick him up soon?"

The denoising effect of this sound is really immediate——

The Ministry of Rites, which was as noisy as a vegetable market just now, immediately became quiet.The crowd immediately backed away to both sides, and they bowed to salute. Gao Yue stood on the other side of the gap and stood in the crowd circle, bowing to Gao Yue. Zhang Shilang.

"Let's all stay flat." Gao Yue walked through the crowd and walked in front of the two adults. An Ri followed behind him. Although his face was expressionless, the officials of the Ministry of Rites wanted to back away, mainly because his voice was a little loud just now. scary.Of course it was scary, An Ri roared with a little internal energy just now, probably everyone's ears are still hurting.

Originally, it was inappropriate for a harem concubine to appear in the former court's yamen.However, the name of Gao Yue was well-known in the previous dynasty when the "Jiangxiang" of the Ministry of Household Affairs was established, not to mention that the six tribes and three princes had quarreled in the imperial study for six days because of him, so Gao Biyan was different. The impression of ordinary concubines has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Among the officials of the Ministry of Rites present, many even went out of the household department to see with their own eyes the "accounting gold book" contributed by Gao Yue, and they still have a deep memory today.

Some people couldn't help but wonder, Gao Biyan came to the Ministry of Rites at this moment, could it be that there is some kind of gold and silver, and this time it is finally our turn to the Ministry of Rites? !

Therefore, after everyone heard that it was Gao Biyan who came, Gao Yue instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

It was not the first time Ge Wang saw Gao Biyan, but it was the first time he got so close.Only after seeing the real person did he fully understand why His Majesty the Emperor loves this person so much.

Ge Wang admired in his heart, Zhang Shilang looked at Gao Yue in a different way.When he saw Gao Yue, he naturally thought of his daughter who died in the harem battle. Although his daughter was not defeated by Gao Yue, Zhang Shilang was not forgiving at all, and it wasn't long before his daughter died. The people in the harem couldn't help feeling conflicted in their hearts.

Gao Yue glanced at the two of them, and they could naturally understand their respective attitudes towards themselves.However, I understand, but now I want to pretend to be confused, he smiled calmly, and said: "I was ordered to come to the Ministry of Rites to see the progress of the deployment of the Great Tribute. I just heard someone arguing, why is it?" ?”

Ge Wang moved Gao Yue into the hall, and opened his mouth first, saying: "This time the great tribute, all the countries have brought rare and exotic beasts to the capital, and Zhang Shilang proposed to keep the exotic beasts in the palace for a while. The minister thought it was wrong."

Zhang Shilang spat blood into his stomach, and he was so angry that he was cursing his mother, this Ge Shenstick, he answered well, why did he seem to be deliberately suing after taking him, so he was not to be outdone, and said to Gao Yue: "Report to Bi Yan Your Majesty and Your Majesty thought that all the tributes from the Great Dynasty would be exhibited, and that they would be temporarily kept in the Rare House, and that it would be more convenient for them to be displayed and transported back. Mr. Ge said that they would be kept outside the palace, but he did not think that if the exotic beasts were not lost outside the palace, At that time, Fanbang will pursue it, and we will not be able to explain it. Second, if the strange beast is kept outside the palace, what if it runs out and hurts the people?"

Ge Wang said: "Then what if we put it in the palace and hurt the emperor or some noble person?"

Gao Yue was let to the upper seat. Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel without saying a word, she said with a smile, "My lords, stop arguing! Let me ask you, what kind of beasts did those foreign countries pay tribute to? Do you have a list?"

"Yes," Ge Wang said, and hurriedly took a list from the table and handed it to Gao Yue, and said as he passed it, "The lower officials have already checked, and most of these strange animals this year are birds."

"A bird?" Gao Yue raised her eyebrows, took the list and read it one by one.

Zhang Shilang said: "Not all are birds, there are also Beimo wolves and Korean tigers, two each, one female and one male."

"How did you deal with those who paid tribute to ferocious beasts in previous years?"

Zhang Shilang said: "In the past, they were handed over to Zhenyi to be raised."

Ge Wang hurriedly added: "In the past, the beasts were nothing more than eagles and falcons, but no jackals, tigers and leopards entered the palace! Lord Bi Yan, I still insist that such beasts do not enter the palace."

"Then where are these beasts now?" Gao Yue asked.

The two said in unison: "It's still in the Fan Guo Post."

Gao Yue said: "It's not appropriate for wild beasts to enter the imperial city. Hasn't this tribute list been reviewed before?"

Zhang Shilang said: "It has been reviewed. However, one of these matters was reviewed by Mr. Qiao in the past. Usually, he has no problem after reading it. He will stamp it and then submit it to His Majesty for review. How does Mr. Qiao operate this year? I don’t know the details.” The implication was that he didn’t know whether Lord Qiao had shown His Majesty after stamping the seal, which meant that the misfortune was pushed outward, and Qiao Shangshu was blamed.

Hearing what he said, Gao Yue glanced at him unexpectedly, thinking, this Zhang Shilang seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with his immediate boss, but when Qiao Shangshu was in power, he had to stay low and be a minor .Such people are mostly scheming and careful thinking, or they are unscrupulous, or they are fools.However, such people are generally cautious, and it is difficult to do anything too outrageous, because they don't have the guts.

It seems that even if Zhang Meiren really participated in the harem worm case, it probably has nothing to do with her father.

Having figured this out, Gao Yue didn't bother to pursue the unreasonableness of the gift list, because it was useless to pursue it now, it was nothing more than a result, Mr. Qiao decided to approve Fan Guo's gift list without showing it to the emperor. .

Gao Yue thought again, some time ago, Zhou Feiqi was in a 'dark sky' every day, Mr. Qiao may or may not have not handed in the paperwork, it is very likely that he handed in the booklet, and Zhou Feiqi didn't pay attention to it, after all, he has been going for nine days. It's all done, it can be seen that he is actually quite reluctant to be the emperor.

Still, that's okay, and it's not unsolvable.So Gao Yue said: "I heard that there is a garden near Xizhimen?"

Ge Wang thought for a while, and said: "There is one, but it is an abandoned deserted garden. Mr. Bi Yan asked what it does?"

Gao Yue actually asked that question, because he thought that Hyundai has a zoo in that location?The geomantic omen of the capital, what location to build, in fact, modern and ancient times are similar, now Taoist Chi Yun is playing tricks, in order not to cause trouble for him, Gao Yue thinks it is possible to put the animals in the zoo according to the current location to be on the safe side It won't have much impact on the feng shui of the capital, so he said: "Clean up the garden, and move all the beasts there for the time being. I will notify the garrison battalion to take care of it. It's much more at ease than putting it in a post house. "

No matter what, Ge Wang is a member of the Taoist sect. When Gao Yue said this, he thought about the location of that garden in his heart, and unconsciously calculated-wow, I didn't expect that broken garden to be so compatible with all the beasts? !This is a good way to raise dragon energy! ——Is this Gao Biyan...

At this moment, Ge Wang looked at Gao Yue who had automatically coated him with a mysterious halo!

Then I heard Ge Wang say: "Bi Yanjun's move is very wonderful, very wonderful!"

Gao Yue has always acted vigorously and vigorously. Since Lord Qin Tianjian thought it was wonderful, it seemed that the zoo should indeed be there, so he took a pen and paper and wrote a letter to the admiral of the garrison camp, Bian Yi.After Ge Wang took it, he handed it over to the confidant he brought, and ordered him to hand it over to Master Bian himself.

After this matter was dealt with, Gao Yue mentioned the purpose of this trip, and he asked: "Have you completed the arrangement process for this great court meeting?"

There are still two days before the big tribute, how could it not be perfect, but before Ge Wang opened his mouth, Zhang Shilang snatched the conversation, and he heard him say: "As early as ten days ago, Mr. Qiao has already decided the process. If Lord Yan wants to see it, I will go and get it right now."

"Okay, let's go." Gao Yue smiled.

Ge Wang took the opportunity to say: "The lower officials have also read the process. There are a few places that the lower officials think are inappropriate and have been changed. If Mr. Bi Yan wants to read it, the lower officials also have a copy here."

Gao Yue chuckled and said, "Then you can take it too."

After both of them went out, Gao Yue saw that there were still many people standing at the door doing nothing, so he got up and walked over, asking one by one: "Are you waiting for the two adults to give instructions? Are we still standing here?"

Someone said: "Back to Lord Bi Yan, the errand assigned to me today has been finished, and now I'm waiting for Zhang Shilang's next instruction."

"What about you?"

"The same is true for the lower officials."

"you too?"

"Back to Biyan-jun, yes."

Gao Yue nodded, then turned to An Ri and asked, "What time is it now?"

An Ri said: "You Zheng is three quarters."

That's almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Gao Yue asked the crowd again: "When do you usually go to the Yamen?"

Everyone said: "Chen Shi."

Gao Yue said: "Then you come to the Yamen an hour earlier tomorrow. Except for the guards, everyone else should go back first. I have something to discuss with the two adults. There is no need for you to wait here. Let's go."

When everyone heard this, everyone showed joy, and quickly bowed to Gao Yue to salute. After finishing, they quickly packed up their things and ran away.Seeing this, Gao Yue shook his head and sighed. With employees like this, how could this department be efficient.

Zhang Shilang came back a step earlier, seeing that there were only a few sporadic people in the courtyard, he was still puzzled, so Gao Yue called him from the hall, "Zhang Shilang, please come in, I have something to say to you."

"Oh? Oh." Zhang Shilang responded, and quickly stepped into the hall. He thought that Gao Yue was going to say something close to him, but he didn't expect Gao Yue to say to him: "Zhang Shilang, you can't go on like this Ah! Heartbroken!"

Zhang Shilang was obviously taken aback, feeling slightly dissatisfied.He thought that I have been in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and I have lived over half a hundred years. What do you mean by a brother who is not as weak as a weak crown?Of course, he didn't dare to say this directly, but his face was ugly, and he twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, unable to smile.

Gao Yue could tell what he was thinking by looking at his expression, but if no one wakes up about work matters, he can only be confused for the rest of his life, which is actually hurting him, although he may be unhappy when he hears these words Face, but as long as he is a little self-motivated, sooner or later, he will be grateful to Gao Yue.This is Gao Yue's experience as an executive for so many years, so Gao Yue ignored Zhang Shilang's attitude and said bluntly: "You can try to come to the yamen an hour early every day to sort out the affairs of the day first, and then divide them When you go to each department, you can set strict standards and conduct strict inspections. If you finish well, you can go to work early, and if you don’t finish well, you can go back to work and redo. This way, you can relax, and they can relax too. Wouldn’t it be better than asking you step by step now? Much less time and effort in action?"

Seeing Zhang Shilang not saying a word, Gao Yue said again: "I understand that the servant has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years and has his own method, but have you ever thought that that method may only be suitable for you, and I see you working so hard. I can't bear it either, what I said just now is the words of Jin Bo, and I can't think of it, if your lord wants to relax, you might as well give it a try!"

"Jin Bo's words?" Zhang Shilang was really moved when he heard Jin Bo.

Gao Yue was amused, thinking that to these ancients, you are not as good at teaching science as metaphysics. No wonder Zhou Feiqi said that day before changing the system, he had to use the theory of gods and ghosts to do a good job of marketing...

"Yes, Jin Bozhiyan, Hai, look at me, why are you talking about this? Did you bring the process? Show me quickly!" Gao Yue reached out and took the stack of papers in Zhang Shilang's hand, The paper is neatly bound and is a booklet.

But Zhang Shilang hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to ask more questions, but couldn't save face.

Gao Yue glanced at him, secretly smiled in her heart, but ignored him.

At this time, Ge Wang also came back with his brochure. Seeing that the people in the yard had dispersed, he asked wonderingly, "Bi Yanjun, why are the people in the yard gone?"

Gao Yue laughed and said: "Seeing that they have nothing to do, I asked them to go back first. Tomorrow morning they will come to the yamen an hour earlier. Remember to arrive early, so don't let them wait for nothing. Oh, yes, my lord I saw that there was a method written down in the gold book..." He told Ge Wang what he had just said to Zhang Shilang again, and he just started talking, and he saw Zhang Shilang's face showing a worried look. It seemed that he didn't want Gao Yue to tell Ge Wang about this method, but he couldn't directly stop him, so he had to stare blankly.

Alas, Gao Yue thought to himself, this servant has nothing to do with the city, and he is not a person who can be an undercover agent.It seems that if there is a problem with the Ministry of Rites, it probably lies with Mr. Qiao or someone else.

The process of the two booklets is roughly the same. There are four places that Ge Wang felt were inappropriate, and he marked them all. The first place is that the beasts entered the palace. Xizhimen Zoo has been resolved.The second place is the Great Court Tribute Banquet, where the harem concubines perform their skills.Gao Yue has heard about this before, because there are beauties who entered the palace this year, in order to give them more opportunities to show their faces in front of the emperor, the Ministry of Rites added this link at the request of Sifan, and the Queen Mother heard about it. In order to balance the psychology of other concubines in the harem and appease the expectations of the former court officials, concubines from the Great Zhou Dynasty were specially approved to run for this opportunity to show their faces.But Ge Wanghui felt that this was inappropriate because he considered that the concubine is not an actor, and the envoy of Ting Yuezhong would lose the royal dignity, so he suggested canceling it.

Gao Yue also felt that it should be cancelled. He considered that there were only three beauties left among the four beauties, and Bai Yuming from Qiandao Kingdom was killed by a gu on the face. If someone comes out, I'm afraid the mission will not let it go. If the evidence is convincing now, it's fine that this Gu worm is related to Qiandao Country. The problem is that the Gu worm was done by the Bai family. It's Qiao Liangren who played Gu on them, so it's a bit confusing.Unless some people are found to give false testimony, but in that case, how can the righteous way in the world continue?What about those who gave false testimony afterwards?Keeping them alive is a hidden danger, can't they all be killed?

Therefore, before the matter is investigated clearly and the truth is revealed, it is the best policy to avoid incidents.

Therefore, it is feasible to cancel the concubine's performance at the Great Tribute Banquet and adjust the time to the Mid-Autumn Royal Banquet.For the royal banquet, the presence of the emperor and all the officials is enough to give the concubines a chance to perform and let the relatives of the emperor see their children's living conditions in the royal family.In front of foreign missions, the harem will never show up.

Seeing the third place, Gao Yue couldn't help frowning, and he asked: "Why did the mission bring capable people and strangers to Beijing this time? They also want to perform for His Majesty's court? His Majesty agreed to this matter? It has also happened in previous years." arrangements?"

Ge Wang looked at Zhang Shilang, meaning that you should come.

After all, Zhang Shilang has senior qualifications in the Ministry of Rites. Seeing Ge Wang looking over at this time, he felt complacent, and said, "I heard Master Qiao mention this matter before I was dismissed from office. At first, it was because there were many insects and monsters in the harem, and there were few royal guards who could manage it." After a certain early court, the princes proposed to recruit talents from all over the world to expand the royal guard in the Imperial Study Room. Later, this matter was handed over to Mr. Cheng of the Southern Guard Factory. Probably because the wind spread, Fanbang heard that there were many strangers in the Central Plains The virtuous, this time he brought capable people from his own country here, wanting to compete with the strangers from the Central Plains. It seems that Mr. Qiao later asked His Majesty for instructions, so that each subordinate can only bring one person into the capital."

He didn't hear Zhou Feiqi mention it, Gao Yue just nodded, ready to ask Zhou Feiqi before making a decision after going back.However, in Gao Yue's view, it is really safer and more reliable to form a supernatural guard team than to build a Taoist temple for the Taoist priests of Chiyun Temple outside the palace.

There is one last place left in Ge Wang's annotation. Gao Yue turned to that place and saw Ge Wang's writing: Although Dazhou is a state of etiquette, foreign countries should respect etiquette, but they should also pay more attention to regulations. Where you can't enter, there should be rules, and there can't be no restrictions.

It turned out that the Ministry of Rites wrote that at the request of various countries, the Ministry of Rites took the missions to visit the imperial city.The tour line starts from the Imperial Palace, the first stop is the Temple of Heaven, followed by: Tianqu Yueri Bridge, Feiyan Zhaoyao Temple, Houhai Taiyi Temple, Liushou Tianyi Tower, Tianfu Bai Garden, Xianchi New Street Building , Xuanyuan Shennong Altar.

Gao Yue: ...

This moving line, huh, huh, isn't this nima just going around Pingjing City counterclockwise?This is definitely not possible. Who knows who are those missionaries?In this case, if there is a master of metaphysics hiding, and some small tricks along the way, it must be messed up by Taoist Chi Yun, right?That's a big deal!

Therefore, this visit to the imperial city must be cancelled, don't even think about it!Thanks to the fact that I came to the Ministry of Rites to take a look, this is letting them go, causing trouble, a group of metaphysics illiterates, who don't know how to solve it!

From this point of view, there is indeed a problem with the process of the Ministry of Rites, and it is a big problem.

However, there are still two days before the big tribute, and Gao Yue didn't want to startle the snake, so he quietly picked up the two booklets in front of him, and said to Ge Wang and Zhang Shilang: "I will take these two procedures back to your majesty." Take a look, those that are suitable and those that are not are determined by His Majesty. You two adults have worked hard today, go back and rest earlier, if I am free tomorrow, maybe I will come again."

When the two heard this, they hurriedly saluted him off.

Gao Yue and An Ri left the office of the Ministry of Rites, got on their horses and took two steps, and he said to An Ri, "Go to Qiao Shangshu's mansion to have a look. He is recuperating at home these days, and His Majesty is busy, so I will go to express condolences on behalf of His Majesty." Condolences."

An Ri didn't say much, he only responded, and then he was half a horse behind Gao Yue, while guiding him.

At this time, in the Mansion of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Taoist Master Zixian had just arrived.The butler was pressed back by the soldiers of the garrison battalion who had received the news earlier. At this time, he was being tied up and thrown in the yard of Qiao's mansion.

Daoist Zixian held a spell in his hand, set up a magic circle around him, and then forced him to vomit the worm again. At this moment, he just cleaned up the still non-twist-shaped Gu worm that the housekeeper spit out.He glanced at the thickness of the Gu worm, and he had already guessed that the worm was a worm that was full of heaven, that is to say, it was a worm that had grown in the housekeeper's body for 81 days, but the housekeeper vomited it twice but only spit out part of it.Now the flesh on the housekeeper's face still hasn't drooped, so it can be seen that some worms are left in the body.This kind of situation is rare, so Taoist Master Zixian immediately used double spells.

The second spellcasting on his side had just begun, and Gao Yue and An Ri also arrived.

After Gao Yue entered, he immediately saw Taoist Zixian and Captain Zhou Huan in the courtyard.He hurried over and asked, "What's going on?"
