The torrential rain seemed to never end.The people in Huaijing City closed their doors and windows, happily enjoying the leisure given by God.And in the imperial palace known as the "City of Fire", a series of decrees powerful enough to shake mountains and rivers were completed in the hands of the Ninth Five-Year Master.

"Xiao Liuer, are those people still outside the palace?"

After the official finished writing the decree, he casually threw the high-quality rosewood brush on the table, not caring that the ink had muddied the letter written this morning.

Holding the jade seal in his hand, Xiao Liu'er responded calmly, "He's still kneeling outside Wende Hall."

Since the disintegration of the dynasty, officials who were unwilling to change the old system braved the heavy rain to follow the footsteps of the officials and knelt on the ground outside the hall.An hour passed, and the group of people over half a hundred years old still knelt down, the rain mixed with snot and tears, and every word was worried about Daheng, but they didn't move the officials at all.

I heard that Zhongshuling Lu Shijue pointed at the backs of Pei Lian and others and cursed for a long time, shouting so hoarse that his voice became hoarse.

I thought that the officials still cared about the faces of those veterans and wanted to take a step back.Unexpectedly, the official's face was relaxed, and he said lightly: "It's just right that you didn't leave. You read this decree to them word by word, and then go to Taichang Temple."

After receiving several edicts, Xiao Liu'er only felt that it weighed a thousand catties, and she was about to go out without delay, but was stopped by the official again.

"By the way, Liang Dousi, Secretary of Sinong Temple, should be cured of his illness. Letting Chen Shaoqing do it for him is not a permanent solution."

Hearing this, Xiao Liu'er turned around and found that the official who was still furious in the court had a smile on his face at this moment. It was the joy of finally succeeding after a long-term plan.

Opening the door of Wende Hall, the raindrops splashed down and splashed again, wet the hem of the clothes.It was as if a water curtain was hung from the sky outside, and the vision was blurred, only the colorful official robes in the rain curtain were very eye-catching.

Seeing Xiao Liu'er coming out, those officials all looked up expectantly, and when they saw the decree in his hand, they expressed nervousness again.

Xiao Liu'er stood in the corridor, unfolding the decree expressionlessly.

After about half an hour, the officials' decrees flew out of the high palace walls one after another, and made the faces of all the officials pale as paper, shouting that the country and society were going to be messed up.

In Zhongshu Sheren's mansion, Yu Jinghuai was only wearing a plain long gown with a large black sleeve on the outside, removing the slightly messy hair of the scarf.

While scratching the cat in his arms, he said: "Yang Qiyu and the other 26 people who cheated were punished with fifty rods, and they were not allowed to take scientific examinations for life. The Ministry of Rites and officials fined them with one year's salary. Zhu He, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, was promoted to Taichangqing. Si Nong Si Qing Liang Dousi is in good health, Shang Zhazi asked for his order to be reinstated."

At the end, Yu Jinghuai chuckled listening to the sound of rain outside the window, "Everything is really intertwined."

What Yu Jinghuai was holding was the cat that he brought to Nanyuyuan last time. Song Fu glanced at Yu Tu, who looked fatter than last time, and analyzed in a deep voice.

"These things are not bad. The government set up a Shilaozi Sansi, and divided most of the powers of the household department, the industry department, and the chief executive. Pei Lian was also appointed as the envoy of the third department, and Chen Juncong, Meng Ruanqing, Xie Qian, etc. Serve as deputy envoy. This is the decree to poke those people's lungs. If Liu Xiang woke up at home and heard it, he might faint again."

Just after noon, the official decrees came one after another.One of them clearly stated the establishment of three divisions, in charge of salt and iron, the Ministry of Households, and Duzhi.This is clearly taking over all of Daheng's finances, and also taking over some work from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and even the power of civil affairs from the Ministry of Households.

In addition to the above, Gu Huaibi took over the position of Meng Ruanqing's secretary and junior supervisor.Xinke Tanhua, Song Yiqing and Qin Qi are respectively serving as the censor in the palace and supervising the censor.

The cat in his arms was scratched comfortably. From playing with his fingers at the beginning, he rolled over and stretched his body, and fell asleep lazily with his head resting on the owner's arms.Yu Jinghuai followed the white down on Yu Tu's belly.He simply opened the window, and it was raining heavily outside, his eyes were hazy, and the banana leaves next to him stretched out lushly, as if they were newly born.

"Under the thunder, it is much lighter to fall above the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. The official stands on the top of the scale and looks down on the people. He sees and thinks more clearly. He is not the first emperor Zhenzong, what he wants to be is Taizong."

Yu Jinghuai stretched out his hand to scoop up the rainwater, feeling the coolness before midsummer, and then asked Song Fu, "I don't know what kind of person Shi Heng wants to be?"

Daheng started from Taizu and flourished in Taizong. Zhenzong can only be regarded as the king of Zhongxing.The officials have absorbed the teachings of the true religion and have been dormant for these years. Once they understand it, it will be an earth-shaking power.Song Fu remembered his son's palace examination and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Brother Bao clearly knows that all the officials and supporters are those who support the reform, but he still has to ask. In any case, the Quanzi Palace Examination Party is the royal party on the surface. Although Shi Heng doesn't want to get involved, he also I can't let my son have no way out under the wind and rain. When necessary, the Song family will stand behind him."

After finishing speaking, Song Fu also asked: "Brother Baoren, have you thought it through?"

"laugh--"

No, Yu Jinghuai trembled while hugging the cat and laughing, his eyes flashed disdain and said: "It's because of the reputation, or because of the power, who has benevolence and no wife and no daughter, even if you want those loess to add to your body, you can't take it with you." What is the walking thing doing?"

After speaking, both of them laughed lightly.At the end, I heard Song Fu jokingly promise, "If you take a step first, I will see you off personally. If I take a step first, I will let my son see you off. I will not let you be miserable."

Song Fu, the newly promoted imperial party member, suffered from insomnia again.

In the backyard of the Song Mansion, two figures sat side by side on the stone steps, their gazes coincidently falling on the slightly rippling crescent moon in the pond in front of them.

After being speechless for a while, Song Fu sighed and said, "That's all. The officials asked you to be a spokesperson, so you can do it with peace of mind. As for Zhao Yanchen... It's always a matter of different ways, and we don't want to conspire with each other."

Having said that, he showed a little embarrassment.How do you say the two are still in-laws.The reform of the official system made Song Yiqing's school secretary squeeze into Zhao Yanchen's censor platform as a royal party without warming his stool. However, judging by the appearance of the other party in the morning, he is determined to adhere to the old system up.

Song Yiqing did not expect the government's decree to be issued so quickly.In just seven days, he went from Tanhua to the Eighth Rank Zhishi Museum, and now he is serving the Imperial History in the Seventh Rank palace, and he has not yet adapted to such a rapid change.

After thinking about it, Song Yiqing looked worried, "But Second Sister..."

Song Fu interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"You don't need to worry about this. Zhao Yanchen is a bit stubborn, but he is also a gentleman, and he has always disdained to use despicable methods."

The father and son sat and talked for a long time, before going back to their rooms to rest before dawn.

Song Yiqing was unable to participate in the Chang Dynasty on the first day he took office.It's not his reason, but the official's oral order to stop the court for three days.It is said that it was rained yesterday, so that the wind and cold would not disturb the bodies of the ministers, so they took a special rest for three days.

When reporting to the Yushitai, Song Yiqing did not see Zhao Yanchen, and the servant Yushi introduced the layout of the Yushitai to him, while explaining: "Zhao Zhongcheng was caught in the rain yesterday, and he was ill in bed. You are dead If you get the name, you can take the job after receiving the waist badge."

Song Yiqing: "..."

The officials were really right.

On weekdays, Zhao Yanchen decides the big and small affairs of Yushitai.As a nearly invisible subordinate, Shi Yushi mostly would not take the initiative to express his opinions in the court.Regardless of whether the old party Zhao Yanchen and the new party Song Yiqing are incompatible, they are just colleagues in his eyes anyway.

After getting her name, Song Yiqing was completely dumbfounded when she was familiar with Yushitai's position.

Looking at the impeachments collected by Yushitai, from the fifth year of Jianyuan, more than half of them were impeachment of Pei Lian.From being disrespectful to ancestors, to not paying attention to character.

Of course, if you look further, there is also an article about the impeachment of Pei Yanfu, the political adviser.The reason is that Pei Lian was so pampered that he injured the son of Secretary Supervisor Zhang Lequan, who is now Dali Temple Secretary Zhang Wenyu.

In the palace, from the Wende Hall, the little yellow gates each carried the edict and walked quickly, singing loudly, "The imperial edict of the official family——"

It wasn't until the edict was passed to Xiao Liu'er in front of the Chongzheng Hall that it was launched.

H'wen changed the second umbrella [the old bell]: two [umbrella, the old Ryu/

"The emperor's imperial edict said: The emperor set up a plan, Xuanli was appointed as the special officer, and the three divisions were in charge, but Qing Pei Lian. Today, you are specially appointed as the envoy of the third division, and given a purple robe goldfish bag. Support the community, make Haiyu peaceful, and use it as a deputy. My life!"

Xiao Huangmen on the other side bowed and listened, feeling that Daheng was really about to change.The official said it was "planning", although the canonized was the third envoy, but in his heart he was already at the same level as Pei Yanfu.Not to mention that when he passed the edict just now, he found that the edict was written on white hemp paper.Daheng canonized the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister, all of which were written on white linen paper, so there is a saying of worshiping the prime minister in Xuanma.How is Pei Lian different from Xuanma worship?

Pei Lian raised the hem of his clothes and knelt on the masonry to thank En for accepting the imperial edict.

Xiao Liu'er smiled and said, "Congratulations to Pei Sansi."

Jumping from the fourth rank to the second rank, and jumping three steps in the middle seems to be light and easy. If you change it to someone else, you can climb up slowly for many years.From now on, this person in front of you will be the youngest deputy prime minister in the history of Daheng.

Sitting on an equal footing with her own father, Pei Lian was not overjoyed, and even thanked Xiao Liu'er calmly, and listened to the other party's explanation.

"The third division is still located in the government, and the official house has been arranged properly. Mr. Pei can take a look first to see if there is anything that needs to be added or subtracted."

Pei Lian nodded, "Please trouble the manager."

From now on, no matter what official positions Chen Juncong and Meng Ruanqing were in the past, they will be the new party of the third division in the future.Daheng is dusty, it's time to wipe it off.

The officials said that there would be three divisions, but it really vacated a lot of land in the government, and I don't know how it was squeezed out of the limited space.

Hang up plaques and move tables.The thunder and bang rang all day long, and other officials around were unbearably disturbed and scolded their mothers repeatedly.However, there were not many people. After all, half of the people lying down in the rain yesterday were still strong in combat.

"Put this vase by the window, and the table faces the sun..."

Pei Lian wandered around with his hands behind his back, pointing out the newly assigned handyman in the palace, passing by the window, and by the way reached out his hand to break off a branch of crabapple and put it in a newly placed thin-mouthed long-necked green glaze bottle.The pink and white flowers set off the porcelain vase immediately made the solemn arrangement of San Si more lively.

An active handyman saw it and said with a smile, "It's still Pei Xiangya."

He intentionally tried to please her, and even put his mind into addressing her.

Pei Lian looked sideways slightly, and watched the handyman beating his drums with his smiling eyes.

"Don't call me that kind of name again."

The handyman, who listened in a half-warning tone, secretly scolded himself for being confused, but unfortunately there was no room for turning things around, and he could only bear with it when he flattered him on the horse's hoof.

He was sweating coldly on his forehead, but the other party really seemed to say it casually and didn't continue.With lingering fears in his heart, he put away his thoughts that he shouldn't have, and retreated in a panic to do his work.

"Promotion and honors will always be accompanied by people who are in power, so why should you care?"

Chen Juncong took advantage of the situation and sat on the soft couch that had just been placed, and said seriously.

Not to mention Pei Lian, since the imperial edict of promotion, he and Meng Ruan Qingming have received a lot of favors in secret.Even Xie Qian, who is the lowest rank among the three divisions, is interested in making friends.Fortunately, last year's No. [-] scholar was able to hold his temper, and kept declining with various reasons.

Pei Lian also walked over and sat down, brushing up the hem of her clothes.He is naturally more free and easy than a civil servant, and his sitting posture also looks carefree.

Anyway, in the third division he was in charge of, even if Zhao Yanchen saw him, he couldn't impeach him.

"It's still not good." Pei Lian shook his head.

The other party didn't say it clearly, but Chen Juncong knew it.Pei Lian was avoiding calling her own father.How can there be two "Pei Xiang" in one court?

After being busy all day, the arrangement in the third department is not bad.Pei Lian glanced around and asked suddenly, "Why don't you see Yizhi?"

Chen Juncong was slightly stunned, and he forced the loneliness in his eyes to respond: "Xu is somewhere else in the Third Division."

Since the layer of cloth that was intended to be concealed was completely torn off, the two of them have never been happy again.Don't mention joking, even the meeting is because of business.Today in the third division, Meng Ruanqing walked around him even more.

The handyman carrying objects in front of him came and went, and occasionally one of them accidentally bumped into it, and the guards reprimanded him.Under the noisy voices, Pei Lian's exquisite mind was thinking again and again, but she still couldn't help opening her mouth.

"You and Yizhi..."

It's halfway through but I don't know how to finish it.

"Brother Wei Song." Chen Juncong raised his eyes, and smiled wryly under his tired face, "You can teach me how to please people."

That's all I said, I already know a lot of things without mentioning them.Pei Lian didn't know how to answer, and couldn't answer.These two friends of his were really mistaken and destined to be rough.

Fortunately, Chen Juncong was just having fun while suffering, not insisting on a response.In order to save the topic that is about to reach a dead end, Chen Juncong asked seriously: "I don't know where to start the reform?"

Pei Lian immediately showed her face and replied mysteriously: "We have to wait for Pei to meet someone."

Outside the door, when Meng Ruanqing was turning the corner along the corridor, he heard a word from inside through the window.

"Zhongwei wants to ask for leave and go home."

This is naturally what Chen Juncong said.Then he heard Pei Lian's voice again.

"When?"

Meng Ruanqing paused, turned around and asked the handyman who tended the flowers and plants, "Is Fushi Chen inside?"

Suddenly being questioned by the official, the handyman responded quickly while being excited.

"It's Chen Fushi and Pei Sansi, who have been talking inside for quite a while."

They all said that these three were good friends, and the handyman didn't think too much about it. He originally thought that Deputy Envoy Meng should be a little happy, but he turned tense and left.

Inside the room, Pei Lian frowned, and asked a lot, "Why is Brother Zhongwei in such a hurry to go home?"

It is not too far from Huaijing to Shunchang Mansion, but it still takes a long time to go back and forth.Chen Juncong would rather leave the reformed stall and go back...

As if to verify Pei Lian's thoughts, Chen Juncong's eyes overflowed with bottomless firmness, and he replied concisely: "Announce the engagement."
