Lang Jun is coming

This year's weather seems to be getting hotter faster. There was a heavy rain the night before, and the air it brought was stuffy, damp and sticky.The pagoda trees full of trees in front of the corridor were also smashed by the raindrops, leaving only a few sporadic flowers.

The accumulated water droplets fell along the branches and leaves of the locust tree, and then they were wiped away with their sleeves.

"This day is really sticky and uncomfortable."

Zhu He smeared the bridge of his nose beaded with water, and followed Pei Lian to complain.

Now the Tai Changqing in front of him has intentionally or unintentionally let him do all the government affairs.I just reported government affairs in the warm pavilion, and my whole body was soaked in sweat, and it was damp and sticky when I went out.Luo Zhongdan under Zhu He's scarlet official robes was drenched, and he wished he could fly back to the residence and take a shower to refresh himself.

Pei Lian ignored Zhu He's complaints, was walking quickly, and suddenly turned around and said, "How much tax money do you think the household department has left?"

"What?" Zhu He hurriedly stopped in order to avoid bumping into each other, and suspected that he had heard wrong, so he raised his voice and asked, "Could it be that your lord has something to ask the Ministry of Households to transfer money?"

I think that the Dachaohui at the beginning was simply digging flesh in the heart of Li Yuanshi, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.It has been almost half a year, and I have never given Taichang Temple a good face.

The aftermath of the past has not yet passed, and it will come again?

Zhu He had a bitter face.He really didn't want to ask for money in Li Yuanshi's face-to-face confrontation.

Pei Lian was playing with his whitebait bag, hooked the rope and smashed it on Zhu He's official hat.

"Why do you look like you are bitter and bitter? I just ask about the situation."

Everyday being disliked, every day straightening the official hat.After getting the guarantee, Zhu He regained his composure, and immediately replied: "Once the tax money arrives at the household department, it is distributed to various departments according to the usual practice, and the rest is kept in the household department for future use. No matter what happens, there will be [-]% left over."

"Fifty percent..."

Hearing this, Pei Lian muttered, but Zhu He added something.

"However, in recent years, there have been frequent disasters in various state capitals, and another [-]% of the money used for disaster relief can be withdrawn. It's no wonder that the household department is stingy."

Zhu He felt that it was really not easy for Li Yuanshi.There is only so much tax money, and it has to be divided up and used tightly, and it is often gone without a sound.

Miyagi and Fuzhi in the Heng Dynasty were connected by a short imperial street. On the other end of the imperial street, there were three provinces and six departments, nine temples, 24 divisions, and Fuxue.Corridors connect each department.

The two passed the Secretary's Office, turned along the long corridor, and saw the Shiba Gate sideways.Among the sparse flowers and plants, a few guards were vaguely seen standing at the Qingbo Gate, one of them was obviously of a higher rank, with a sword on his waist saying something to the others.

Today the rain has just stopped, but the sky is still cloudy and there is no sunshine.Pei Lian squinted for a while and suddenly said, "That person seems familiar."

Zhu He also looked sideways, and denied it after a while, "That is this year's martial arts champion. I heard that he was born as a blacksmith. How can you be familiar with me, my lord?"

Pei Lian didn't respond either.Although I also felt a little ridiculous, but the sense of familiarity just couldn't be erased, and I always felt that there was a name that was ready to be pronounced.

After explaining the matter, like a sixth sense, the man turned his head, his eyes fell on Pei Lian and Zhu He, and then raised his foot.

"What is he doing here?"

Zhu He felt that things were starting to develop in a direction that he couldn't figure out again.

The man was wearing armor, and before he arrived, the sound of the clash of the sword and the armor came first.After all, he is the No. [-] martial arts scholar, and he looks like a figure who can knock himself down with one arm.Zhu He glanced back and forth between Pei Lian and himself, and finally decided to hide behind them.He is determined not to be beaten.

The longer the stride, the faster the walk.In a short while, Pei Lian was only two or three steps away from the martial arts champion.Now, if you look closely, you are really a familiar person, but you only met once.

"Hey, it's really you!"

The man had a rough voice, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

Pei Lian smiled, "Farewell to Xinzheng, and the strong man will come back safe and sound. No, it should be the champion of martial arts."

This year's champion of martial arts is exactly the blacksmith Wang Ping who met in the first month and wanted to settle accounts with Prince Daxing.At that time, Pei Lian was really disgusted by others, but he didn't expect to meet him here in just four months.

"It's just a fluke. I didn't expect you, Mr. Xiaolang..."

In the middle of speaking, Wang Ping scratched his head in embarrassment when he realized the official uniform of the man in front of him and recalled the figure going to the north of the city at that time, not knowing how to address him.

Zhu He reminded at the right time, "Pei Lian, Minister of Taichang Temple."

Wang Ping didn't know exactly what rank the Taichang Temple minister's official rank was, but he knew that the scarlet official uniform was at least the fifth rank or above.I was glad that I didn't hit this person recklessly at that time, and I was surprised that the person with such vigor was actually a civil servant?

Seeing Wang Ping's sudden restraint, Pei Lian probably knew what this man was thinking, so he offered to suggest it.

"It's just a title, just call me Wei Song."

After all, Wang Ping didn't have the nerve to call someone's name, but called "Brother Pei".After a pause, he felt that the name "Pei Lian" sounded familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it.

He was trying to remember, when he heard Pei Lian ask, "Why is Brother Wang at Qingbo Gate?"

Wang Ping used to be a straightforward person. Hearing Pei Lian address him like that, he suddenly felt that this person was not as good as other civil servants and mothers-in-law.He smiled very boldly: "The officials asked me to be the head of the Jingfang. The imperial city guards and government are under the jurisdiction of the Jingfang."

The military power of the Heng Dynasty was divided into the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.The Privy Council is divided into twelve chambers, and the Beijing chamber is naturally in charge of all kinds of defense and security matters in the capital, so it is not surprising to be able to appear in Qingbomen.

After finishing speaking, his face turned red, but Wang Ping's open-minded temperament became embarrassed, and he hesitated to express his thanks.

"Brother Tuo Pei's advice. You're right. It's not a lonely thing for a big man to serve the country. I want to lead the troops to beat up the big gangsters so that they don't dare to grab food."

Speaking of excitement, the long sword at his waist was drawn, and the sharp blade flashed white light, causing a soft moan.

Zhu He was taken aback by this unexpected act of drawing his sword, and saw that Wang Ping was full of blood and could not be disturbed, so he had to silently push aside.

Fortunately, all three of them had official duties, so they had to leave after a few pleasantries.Before leaving, Wang Ping slapped Pei Lian on the shoulder and asked him to have a drink another day.

Pei Lianwen's human body was slightly shaken by the hammer, and he responded with a smile without changing his face.

When the people walked away, Zhu He asked in a low voice: "Why are you so close to him?"

Pei Lian glanced sideways, and Zhu He quickly explained, "It's just that this person is too rough..."

He didn't dare to complain about being frightened when he drew his sword, because Pei Lian didn't know how to appease his subordinates, but only disgusted him...

Immediately arrived at Taichang Temple, the Qingbo Gate was no longer visible, and naturally Wang Ping was nowhere to be seen.Pei Lian still looked in the direction where the man left and said, "Heng Chao lacks such bloody people."

It is rare for Zhu He, who speaks a word without idleness all day long, to speak silently.Compared with many people in the officialdom, his mind is a little bit bigger, but he also knows the fact that the Heng Dynasty lacks good generals.

Even today, the Privy Council is still restrained by civil officials, and it is extremely useless even to fight a war.The successive officials were terrified that the Heng Dynasty would repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasties, and the imperial power would fall.Therefore, I never dared to put such a thing as "military power" out of my palm, which caused a good army to be crippled by civilian officials.And we can only see the current official's attitude towards this matter.

Zhu He felt that his immediate superior was going to do something, so he kept it secret and refused to let him know.All the signs these days indicate that they seem to want to separate.

"Is your lord leaving?" Zhu He felt sad in his heart.Although the two didn't get along very long, he was often poached by this person and did some wicked things, but it was really reluctant to part.

The matter explained by the official in his mind was suddenly interrupted, and Pei Lian hung the whitebait bag on his waist.This time he didn't take Zhu He's official hat, and for the first time returned to his serious entrustment.

"I'm leaving, you are the Minister of Taichang Temple. Anyway, you are familiar with the matter of asking for money. The official business is handled properly, so don't worry about going wrong."

The other party promised in both words and deeds that he was about to be promoted and increased his salary, but Zhu He couldn't be happy from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to say more hypocritically. He held back his chest and promised, "Don't worry, my lord, you will be transferred. Taichang Temple will always be with you."

Pei Lian raised his eyebrows as he looked at the self-impressed person, but he didn't say any words of disgust.
