Chapter 1893 Shenlv Zhiyin, selection for the test


    The July of the third year of Taixing is destined to be a month that will leave some imprints in history. When the turmoil on the altar of Longshou Yuan worshiped the general has not completely stopped and dissipated, there will be more turmoil one after another Appearing, it seems that they are going to send Guanzhong Sanfu, and even the rest of the Dahan area, to send ripples to the sky in one breath.


    The news that Taiyuan Wang Ying won the title spread like wind to Chang''an, causing a wave of waves...


    But before everyone discussed the reason, in mid-July, Hussar General Fei Qian ordered the establishment of two departments, the "Zhi Yin Supervisor" and the "Sen Lv Yuan", and announced to the world that Cai Yan was the Zhi Yin Supervisor. Supervision, Wei Duan offered wine for the Senate.


    As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves, not to mention that Fei Qian has dropped several big stones one after another. This personnel adjustment immediately caused a great shock in Guanzhong Sansuke.


    Although it was said that Cai Yan served as the supervisor of Zhiyin Supervisor, which attracted many people''s attention, but it was clearly marked that he would not participate in government affairs and military affairs, but was only responsible for recording and compiling history, so some people quickly turned their attention to Shenlu above the courtyard.


    After all, "Participating in and discussing state affairs" is the old profession of many people! Although it is only "participation" at this stage, the future can be expected!


    So, when it comes to the focus of Sanfu people''s attention, the popularity of "Senate" is obviously higher. It is precisely because of this that after the news of Wei Duan''s conferment came out, his mansion in Shifang was already crowded with guests. On the left, they all said that they "met by chance", and then congratulated them...


    Wei Duan also felt very excited about his new position, and ordered his family''s servants to prepare a banquet and entertain the guests.


    Of course, Wei Duan is certainly happy in his heart when his position has reached a new height and he has regained the favor of Hussars, but he is not without worrying things, such as Cai Yan. Women, is it fine to take care of your husband and teach your children at home, and leave things to men to do outside. Women are called to work outside, so what do men do? Cooking and mopping the floor at home?


    What also makes Wei Duan a little upset is that Hussar seems to want Wei Duan to endorse Cai Yan, which is the first thing for the Senate, which is to find the correctness of women as officials in the Han Law...


    However, Wei Duan believes that after all, there are only a few women who are as smart as Cai Yan and who can''t find any faults. Most of the women have long hair but short knowledge. , and then instigated these mindless riots...


    Another point is that until today, Wei Duan discovered that Fei Qian''s ambiguity towards Cai Yan was actually used here! With Fei Qian''s relationship, even if Wei Duan had some objections, it seemed that he couldn''t say it out for a while.


    take it easy.


    After the torment of the past few days, Wei Duan felt that Huqi Feiqian''s power skills were really unfathomable, and it was really rash for him to make another plan with a sympathetic heart. Facts have proved that only by following closely behind the hussars can the power and position be preserved and the wealth and honor can be enjoyed for a long time.


    Especially when the appointment was made, Huqi ordered Xianza to step down again, and then showed Wei Duan some signed seals. Wei Duan found out that he had been targeted by many people, and then some true and false things were brought to Fei Qian''s place!


    Wei Duan was terrified at the time, and didn''t know how to respond, so Hushi calmed down with gentle words and said: "Ren Xian is also unavoidably envied by others, and Xiufu has been a prominent family in Guanzhong for a long time, so naturally there are some old grievances...now that someone knows Xiufu Zhongliang, who has a strong character, is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so naturally he doesn''t believe these filthy words...』


    Hushi Feiqian''s consolation made Wei Duan extremely grateful besides being frightened. At the same time, I can''t help but sneer at those villains who slandered him with their lips, tongue and pen. It''s just some superficial things, so I''m ashamed to use it here! As Hu Qi said, after all, Webster was a prominent family in Guanzhong, if he couldn''t hold an important position, wouldn''t the other miscellaneous surnames be even more useless?


    Although he was awarded the title today, he has been tense from morning to dusk, and he has to deal with these guests. In addition, he is not too young. At night, Wei Duan is a little tired both physically and mentally. After greeting a few important guests, he confessed his guilt and turned back to the inner courtyard. He took a breath just as he sat down, and a servant came forward to report that some guests had heard the news and wanted to enter the room. Goodbye and congratulations...


    After all, not all Guanzhong noble families live in Chang''an City, so it''s normal to come late.


    But Wei Duan was really tired at the moment, so he waved his hand and said: "It''s late today, so I''m gone, just arrange for him to have a drink in the front yard, don''t slack off... If there is such a thing again, don''t bother me again..."


    Wei Duan is actually very clear about these people''s thoughts. The so-called request to meet in the room is second to congratulations. He probably cares more about the newly added positions in the Senate.


    Wei Duan can think of "participating in the law" today, and "participating in politics" tomorrow, so others can naturally think of it, so don''t look at the Senate as if it seems insignificant at the moment, but the future can be expected...


    Besides, the Senate is close to Chang''an Hushi Mansion, which is basically equivalent to being right under Feiqian''s nose. If you have the opportunity to show off, you will naturally get more opportunities for promotion!


    If it had been before, Wei Duan would have been willing to put his confidants in it, or simply held up the so-called "respecting the virtuous and not avoiding relatives" sign to block people, but he just survived a difficult situation before, and finally won the hussar again Chong En didn''t dare to show off right away, giving Fei Qian a bad feeling of indiscriminately giving personal favors, weaving wings, and forming cliques and friends.


    Unable to enter the room to congratulate Wei Duan face-to-face, the people who hurried over from afar were naturally quite disappointed, but they did not dare to force the invitation, so they sat down at the table under the guidance of Wei Duan''s servants. Compared with the others, Xue Yong, who was at the back of the crowd, was more worried in his heart.


    Since Xue Lan was convicted of framing others and exiled to Longxi, the Xue family has not been as good as before. Although Wei Duan occasionally sent someone to secretly deliver some things, but after all, there is no pillar in the family, and external help cannot last for a long time.


    Now that he heard that Wei Duan was reappointed for a high position, Xue Yong hurried over. Because there were no carriages and horses, he didn''t know how many hands he had when he heard the news, so naturally he arrived a lot late and couldn''t see Wei Duan face to face.


    Now hearing that the courtyard is full of voices of envy, Xue Yong doesn''t know what it feels like.


    Back then, his father Xue Lan stopped Pang Tong in the street. Others didn’t know what was going on, and Xue Lan didn’t make it clear to Xue Yong, but Xue Yong also more or less guessed that Wei Duan was behind it…


    Now that Wei Duan has regained the importance of hussars, does it mean that Xue Yong''s father can also be exonerated and pardoned from exile?


    Xue Yong naturally didn''t dare to go to the hussar general''s office to ask, so he could only come to Wei Duan to see if Wei Duan could extend his hand to help, but he came full of hope, but he couldn''t see him. Is it really because Wei Duan is tired and unable to meet guests, or is it because he knows he is coming and deliberately does not want to see him?


    With a stomach full of worries, even in the face of delicious food, it is still unwilling to eat. Seeing that all the guests were still drinking happily, I felt desolate and uncertain, and felt like I was sitting on pins and needles, so after eating some casually, I found Webster''s servants and took a temporary rest in Webster''s guest room.


    In banquets of nobles in the Han Dynasty, guests were usually left to rest directly, but the standard of hospitality was naturally somewhat different.


    In the middle of the night, another person came drunk and fell asleep after entering the room, snoring like rolling thunder.


    Xue Yong himself had something on his mind, so naturally he tossed and turned until dawn, when he was extremely tired and closed his eyes in a daze, only to be awakened by the morning drum in the workshop, he got up quickly and asked Webster''s servant again, but Knowing that Wei Duan had left long ago, he went to the General''s Mansion to take up his post...


    This…


    What else can I do?


    Forced to stay and wait for a day, even if Xue Yong has the heart, he doesn''t have the skin, not to mention that many guests got up one after another, and then left in a scattered way after washing, Xue Yong can''t force him to stay alone. It''s not a big deal, it''s just a matter of bringing back my worries and going home.


    Out of Webster''s gate, Xue Yong couldn''t help but look back again.


    The lintel of Webster''s door stands tall, and the decorations and characters on it are carefully wiped by the servants, without any dust, and the words "Jingzhao Webster" are shining brightly...


    『ε=(ο｀*))) Alas...』 Xue Yong turned around, let out a long sigh, and walked forward slowly.


    Chang''an City has fully awakened. Under the sunshine in the morning, the flow of people has gradually increased. Many people carry burdens or drive to and from the car, and there are shopkeepers on the side of the road shouting loudly to attract customers.


    A scene of vitality and prosperity.


    Xue Yong lowered his head, a little listless.


    Walking around the corner of the square, and walking forward for a while, I suddenly heard someone beside me calling: "But Mr. Xue''s family? 』


    Xue Yong habitually took another two steps forward before realizing it. When he looked back, he saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a smile. The middle-aged man was wearing ordinary clothes. Although he didn''t know the grade, the jade Zhang hanging on his waist was gentle and radiant.


    『Excuse me, who is your lord...』 Xue Yong asked, clasping his hands, but he didn''t know him.


    The middle-aged man smiled gently and said, "It''s normal that Mr. Xue''s young man doesn''t recognize X." A certain old man had a relationship with his father in his early years, and now he visits the old man in Chang''an, but unexpectedly... this... Knowing that Mr. Xiao Lang went to Wei''s mansion, has there been a turning point? 』


    『This... is hard to describe in a single word...』 Xue Yong looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be full of concern, and didn''t know how to answer for a while. These days, the Xue family has more often met with blank stares and cold reception, with little warmth at all. Even if it is the first time they meet strangers, in Xue Yong''s heart, there is a three-point gratitude...


    Under the street, it is naturally impossible to discuss in detail. The middle-aged man and Xue Yong stood by the street, said a few words, made an appointment to visit Xue''s house next time, and then bid farewell.


    The middle-aged man smiled, watched Xue Yong walk away, then turned around unsteadily, walked around several streets and alleys, and turned into an inconspicuous courtyard in the back street of General Hussar''s Mansion , raised his head and saw a strong man sitting in the hall, he bowed his hands and saluted, "I have seen the Lord..."


    『Have you seen the Xue family boy? Are you not suspicious? ’ said the strong man calmly.


    The middle-aged man replied: "Never. The Xue family will visit again in about three days...』


    『Good. The brawny man nodded, "If it''s useful, just list it in a row." 』


    The middle-aged man responded, then hesitated for a moment, and said in a sly way: "This... I don''t know the present, Lord Wang..."


    Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the strong man focused his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Now you and I are working under the Huang family!" You cannibals, you should do your duty! As for other people''s gossip, don''t ask more questions! 』


    …(╯>д<)╯˙˙…


    Wang Zhen, whom the middle-aged people were talking about, was sticking his head out of boredom at this moment, and then placed it on the table. Ever since Wang Zhen frightened outsiders that time, he seems to have fallen into this problem.


    In fact, the head is quite heavy. Even if it is placed on the table, a brocade mat should be placed on the chin.


    Wang Zhen woke up in the early hours of this morning, before the ugly hour had passed.


    Mainly because I slept too much.


    After being idle for too long, it seems that every part of my body will become agitated, like caterpillars crawling, and I feel all kinds of discomfort.


    『Mother, here is the delivery...』 This is the voice of the personal maid, and you can tell it immediately without thinking and identifying it.


    Wang Yan still closed his eyes, then hummed twice, and said vaguely, "I don''t want to eat..."


    The personal servant girl looked at the food on the lacquer plate, and seemed to have lost her appetite, so she put it aside, turned around and sat next to Wang Zhen, and then imitated the example, took a brocade forging mat, and put her head on the table. Put it on.


    Wang Zhen squinted at his little maidservant, then looked away, his eyebrows were drawn down, like a thin and long character "八", hung on his face, and he said after a while, "Go outside and ask." , what''s going on recently? 』


    The personal servant girl agreed, got up and went out.


    Wang Zhen''s eyes followed the maidservant, and he sighed again involuntarily. It''s easy to get in and out of a maidservant. If Wang Zhen wants to go out, he must be followed by a group of guards. Trouble...


    After about an hour or two, when the sun gradually climbed up the treetops, the personal maid came back, and then Balabala told Wang Zhen about the recent major events, such as generals, Enke, all in the market The children of the gentry arguing with each other don''t even need to ask specifically, just stand aside and listen for a while, that''s all.


    "correct! The maid clapped her hands, "I heard that General Hussars added a...uh, that, um, let me think about it..."


    The words came to my lips, but I forgot the name. The personal servant girl patted her forehead in Wang Heng''s eyes, but still couldn''t remember for a while, and finally said as if giving up, "Anyway, it is a new government office. It is said that a woman is the chief official, that...that Cai what?" …Uh, it’s the Mr. Cai that I mentioned last time…』


    『That’s Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji...』Wang Zhen patted the head of the personal servant girl lightly, "Your head is hopeless... Cai Zhaoji is the chief officer... It’s really interesting..."


    『Xiao Niang, why don’t we go and have a look? 』The personal maid covered her head and rolled her eyes. I''ve been bored for too long, I feel that everything is fun, and it''s a woman as the chief officer, so of course I''m more interested.


    『Hmm…』Wang Zhen shook his head subconsciously and said, 『No! What catches your eyes? Now... eat, eat! 』That is just the lover of General Hussars, what''s so interesting about it?


    The personal maid answered in a muffled voice, and went to get the lunch box.


    Although the food was basically cold, the weather itself wasn’t that cold, so Wang Zhen and the two of them didn’t feel any discomfort, and ate every bite.


    However, Hussar General is really...


    Are you not afraid that your subordinates will have opinions?


    Or…


    Wang Zhen was eating, and suddenly stopped, holding the chopsticks in the air, as if they were frozen suddenly.


    『Miss? The maid felt strange and called out tentatively.


    "Snapped! ”Wang Heng clapped his chopsticks and stood up, “Hurry up! Change clothes, change clothes! Where do you say the newly established government office is located? Walk! Go and see, go and see! 』


    Personal maid: "..."


    It was you who said not to go to see it just now, and now it is you who said that you want to change clothes and go and have a look...


    『You elm lump! ’Wang Zhen slapped the maidservant’s head again, ‘I didn’t go before because I didn’t think it would be interesting to just go and see Cai Zhaoji, but now I’m going because of the female official, female official! understand? Do you want to stay in this small courtyard all the time, or do you have the opportunity to walk around? ah? 』


    『(*)=3, that’s right, I’m still smart! 』


    The personal maid hurriedly went to get the formal clothes and put them on for Wang Zhen.


    Although Wang Zhen was guarded by soldiers and guards, he was not under house arrest after all, so after saying a word, he waited for the guards to take a car and a group of people went outside the Hussar General''s Political Affairs Hall...


    When he got to the ground, Wang Zheng realized that he was already late. There were already many vehicles outside the Zhengshitang, and there were also many women who looked like officials'' families, wearing skirts, gathered in one place in twos and threes . If three women are equal to a hundred ducks when they are together, there are at least a thousand ducks in this area!


    Chirping, chirping, laughing and joking, one after another.


    When men are in a crowd, single women will tremble when they pass by, but the reverse is also true. When a large group of women get together, the male officials who occasionally pass by are also uncomfortable, and their footsteps are obviously followed by the sound of women''s laughter. mess up...


    Although many children of the gentry think that Zhiyinjian cannot participate in politics, he is just a pen holder and has no room for development, but it is like the people who lined up to buy luxury goods in later generations, and the majority are always women. In the Han Dynasty, what luxury goods are better than authority? more expensive? When the news spread, the women among the Guanzhong gentry''s interest in women entering the government far exceeded the original imagination of ordinary gentry men!


    "when! Dangdang! 』


    The cloud board was knocked, and the guards maintaining order shouted, "Quiet! 』


    Such a large group of ducks was finally pinched by the throat, and suddenly felt so quiet and comfortable...


    Changing out of her usual underskirt, Cai Yan, who was wearing a Jinxian crown, was wearing a red and black mianfu. Under the left and right guards, she went out of the hall, looked around slightly, her voice was not loud, but her aura was calm, " Today, according to the order of hussars, the selection of virtuous men, not limited to men and women, is based on their talents. Those who want to apply for a job can enter the hall and try! 』


    After the main content was finished, the specific details were naturally reiterated by the subordinates. Cai Yan slightly bowed his hands, and then returned to the hall.


    Wang Zhen stared at the Jinxian crown on Yuan Qu Cai Yan''s head, and then involuntarily touched his own head, but there was no hat, just a step.


    『You stay here! ”Wang Ji gave instructions to the maidservant, then walked forward with her head held high, and said in a clear voice, “Langya Wang’s daughter-in-law, I would like to try it! 』
