According to the rules of the traditional Confucian scholar, before and after the crown, you must travel to study the Quartet. The family is as far away as the north and the south, and the shy at least must go out of the state. Zhang Wence was born in the official family, and his father and grandfather had been officials at the state and county level, so they could go far and have little insight.
Later, he went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination. The jinshi and the post not only saw Chang'anhua, but also was summoned by the emperor. Fortunately, he visited the palace. Although it was only trembling to attend the banquet that time, I was also invited to enter the gates of many princes and aristocrats, so I know how elegant the residence of the prince of Chang'an.
In contrast, Qingzhou Anwang Mansion is not so grand and majestic. The style of the pavilion is only considered to be ordinary and ordinary, and it can not make people feel afraid.
Zhang Wence followed Liu Ming and others, stepped into the door of the palace, and did not feel like entering Longtan Tiger's Cave. Although he did not dare to look around, he could see that the officials and officials who came and went were ordinary and not as good as walking on thin ice.
Of course, they were not summoned by King An as soon as they entered the house. Instead, they were led into the waiting room of a compound. The rooms are quite large, and there are not many golden decorations, and the decorations can only be called elegant, which is a lot worse than those of the princes.
"Perhaps His Royal Highness An is not as terrible as rumored." Zhang Wenze thought so after he took his seat, his eyes stayed on the clerk who brought them.
The other person is a young man, in his early twenties, personable, easy-going and talkative. On the way, I have been chatting with Liu Mingming, showing an intimacy, and the two seem to be very familiar, and they have not praised the other's performance test and other things, and expressed their admiration.
"Liu Gong rarely came back. He Sima and Xu Senjun have already said. When Liu Gong meets His Royal Highness and finishes his business, he will come to invite Liu Gong to He Sima House for dinner. At that time, we will also learn from Liu Gong Learn how to be a local governor. "
The clerk smiled and said, "Liu Gong waits here, eat some tea and snacks, and take a break. His Royal Highness is receiving the Henghai Jiedushi, and it will not be too long."
"Jun Xu can just be busy." Liu Mingming smiled with a good smug concealed face, and asked in a friendly manner to the younger generation.
Zhang Wence looked at Liu Mingming's gesture with a clear look.
After entering An's Mansion, several officials stopped on the road to talk with Liu Mingzhi. The other party was indeed deeply rooted in An's Mansion.
Zhang Wence sighed and couldn't help worrying. He remembered what Liu Mingming had said to him last night, and he was more firm in his speculation.
"Liu Ming is so powerful. Even when I saw His Royal Highness, shaking out his scandal in Weizhou, I was afraid it would have no effect ... I might not even have a chance to speak. An throne It ’s extremely rare to see us on a high-weight basis. It ’s extremely rare to see us. Where can I have time to talk to my county magistrate ... ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Wence has made some determination.
It was said that there was no need to wait too long, and Zhang Wence and others were bored in the cabin for a little while, and then they were passed into the government affairs hall to meet King An.
As he walked into the huge government hall in the team, Zhang Wence and his colleagues walked with their heads buried to show respect, and only looked around with the light from the corner of his eyes.
Behind the thick corridors on both sides of the main hall, there are rows of book cases. Many scribes are burying their cases, or writing a quizzical book, or looking at the official book. Everyone is focused and there is almost no noise in their hands.
This is the pre-case clerk regiment of King An. He cooperates with King An to handle daily military and political affairs. In his hands, he has mastered the military and political secrets and various affairs of dozens of states and counties in nine towns. King An's absolute confidence.
As for what is ahead, although Zhang Wence can't see it, he can also imagine. In front of them, above the three-foot high platform, after the majestic throne, Longpanhu held the Tang Dynasty's most powerful and highest prince, which is also the most powerful prince in the troubled times today!
"Let ’s wait to see His Royal Highness King!"
Zhang Wence followed his colleague, leaning north to face Wang Xingli who was sitting south.
"You don't have to be polite, just sit down."
A full, smooth and easy-going voice sounded.
Unlike Zhang Wence's expectation, this voice didn't show much majesty. When they saluted, got up, and sat in two rows in the futon, there was no courage from the main seat.
Zhang Wence was relieved, and he couldn't help thinking: "It seems that King An is not a majestic and coercive person ... nor is it so scary ..."
Drawing this conclusion is important to Zhang Wence, and it is related to his next move.
Choosing one of two terrible beings to deceive or disobey is, of course, a relatively less terrifying one.
At this moment of Zhang Wence's relaxation, his eyes were no longer so rigid, and he swept left and right without any trace.
Because of this action, he saw a person, which made him slightly hesitated.
Weizhou officials were seated in a row, some distance from the main seat. In front of them was a woman with a purple gown and cold eyes, with a charming, charming and mature figure.
Zhang Wence just shook the other side of his eyes, and he couldn't help trembling. He felt as if he had seen an abyss and a high mountain. There is a dangerous breath in the abyss that cannot be seen directly, and there is a strong cowardice on the mountains!
Zhang Wence quickly drew his gaze, Mo said to take a closer look, even dare not face up, his heart beating.
He noticed that Liu, who was like a giant in front of him, was sitting in a critical position at the moment, and he was afraid to breathe. Even if he was closest to the woman in the purple robe, his eyes were staring at the floor, he did not dare to move half a minute, as if he was afraid that the other party would think he was rude.
"Who is this woman who made Liu Mingzhi so frightened? Does she say that she is Her Majesty King An's first master? But aren't Her Majesty's masters all demons? Is this woman actually ... Is it a demon ?! "Zhang Wence thought in his mind.
He felt fearful, but not nervous. Of course, as a learned man and head of a county, he certainly knew that even if the other party was a big demon, he would only be able to protect the security of King An, and there would be no political issues. Insights, and even the ability to interfere.
As long as he doesn't protrude to the United States, and is not rude to An Wang, the other party will have no control over him, let alone affect his career and his destiny.
At this time, An Wang's easy-going voice sounded again. "Yuantai, you got the first-class evaluation last time. The Weibo Jieduo praised you too. It seems that you did a good job in Weizhou and did not lose. The face of the lone king, the lone king is very pleased. "
Yuantai is Liu's well-known character.
Liu Ming quickly got up and arched his hands, very respectfully: "The well-known did not dare to forget his identity, let alone His Highness's teachings. The performance evaluation of Class A was the result of his colleagues working hard and repaying His Highness. Your Highness is disappointed, and the well-known is satisfied! "
"Okay, that's very good." Wang An's voice was still steady, as if to approve, but it was not obvious. "For Weizhou government affairs and military affairs, apart from the report on the paper, what else does Yuantai want to say?"
Liu Mingming's waist has not been lifted, and he thought for a while, "The documents are very detailed and there is no omission ... The presence of His Royal Highness in Datang is really a blessing to the community!"
"Okay, take your seat."
The corner of Zhang Wence's eyes, Yu Guang, looked at Liu Ming's seat, and the other party still looked cautiously. But he was very close to the other party, and he still realized the lightness and confidence in Liu Mingming's eyes, which is the grandeur that everything is under control!
"Is everything originally expected by Liu Ming? It seems that he is honest and horrified in front of King An, and most of them pretend. It seems that King An ... can't see through his true colors. Everyone says An Wanghui's eyeballs, but this is actually the case ... It is impossible to demand King An, after all, his Majesty has nine towns and dozens of states, how can he search for good and evil ... "Zhang Wence smiled bitterly.
When he was thinking about this, he felt the sight of King An, and passed by, and then An Wang's voice continued to be salty: "Except for Yuantai, you are either the governor of Wei County, or the county magistrate. Wang now asks you, is Weizhou really prosperous and the people live and work in peace? Is Liu Qishi free from corruption?
After hearing this, Zhang Wence couldn't help shaking his head secretly, thinking: "An Wang's perfunctory question is more like affirming Liu Shishi's credit. Who can say no?"
Zhang Wence followed the crowd and quickly rose to worship in the middle. "His Royal Highness, Assassination Shi Xiande, Weizhou Changhe!"
At this moment, Zhang Wence has extinguished the idea of "attacking" Liu Liu on the spot.
He was disappointed, because King An could not detect Qiuhao, and his last hope was shattered.
But at the same time he couldn't help but feel grateful, because he could continue to be a county magistrate and keep his status and wealth.
Before that, when Zhang Wence was standing at the head of Weixian County and facing the Yicheng Army on the other side of the Yellow River, he chose to stick to his heart and offend the powerful.
After that, if Zhang Wence can still stand at the head of Weixian County, he will choose to be inflamed.
A good official disappeared, and a villain was born. When the situation did not allow officials to be honest and honest, they could only choose to worship at the foot of power.
This is not their fault, because whether the officials in the world are black or white does not depend on themselves, but on the soil under their feet, depends on the true superiors, whether they have seen their merits and evil deeds, have they Rewarding sin for ignoring merit, leading them from white to black.
"Seat everyone."
King An's voice sounded again.
Zhang Wence saw the smile on the corner of Liu Ming's mouth, which was a well-defined smile.
Next, if King An doesn't greet them, they can retreat.
Sure enough, Zhang Wence heard King An saying, "The lone king's time is always not enough, so I won't talk to you any more, let's just talk about the results ... Grand Commander?"
Then Zhang Wence saw the woman in the purple robe, and rummaged through the book in front of her, saying in a calm and calm tone as if studying: "Through a thorough investigation of the Tsing Yi Shumen, Liu Zhou, the Weizhou Assassin, is a half-office official and greedy with huge ink The dark government, collusion with the tyrant squires, and the merger of land property, caused more than 1,680 people to be displaced, and 53 people to be slain ... For half a year, the implementation of the 'New Deal' has been weak, which is equivalent to an empty paper. ..... "
Hearing this, the smile on Liu Ming ’s mouth suddenly froze. The whole person was almost like a ghost, almost jumping up!
Zhang Wence was startled in shock, and looked up incredibly, no longer caring about etiquette, and looked directly at the purple robe woman who was studying, and the whole person was almost stupid.
Qing ... Tsing Yi Yamen, this woman turned out to be ... the prestigious Tsing Yi Yamen leader Song Jiao? !!
The other officials in Weizhou were all stunned and almost thought that they were listening.
At this time, shouldn't we commend Liu Mingming and add him to the ranks? Why did he suddenly start counting his crimes as soon as the words turned?
Tsing Yi Yamen actually grasped all the responsibilities of Liu Ming, when did they know? How could they know!
How could this be!
However, no matter how Weizhou officials reacted, Song Jiao turned a blind eye, and her voice did not stop. "Jixian County Order Song Kexing, serving as Ji County County Order for three years, was a modest official before, and barely counted as nothing. However, after Liu Mingming came to office, he quickly became the minion of the other people who ran across the county and the fish and flesh, and did all the bad things, and found out through the Tsing Yi Shumen ...
"Liu Zhengjie, the magistrate of Gongcheng County, flattered by the grandma of the Association. During his term of office, he searched the people's money and flattered his superiors ..."
"The magistrate Zhang Cheng ..."
As Song Jiao kept thinking, almost all Weizhou officials were named, and the merits and demerits of the past six months came together in great detail.
Except for a few such people, the rest of Weizhou officials, including Liu Mingming, have shaken like a sieve!
Without waiting for Song Jiao to finish reading, they fell to the ground as if mourning, and began to scream injustice. Later, even the voice of forcible arguing was gone, because the fact was too red.
When Song Jiao finished reading, there was sweat on the floor.
Zhang Wence lay on the ground, his thoughts turned over, and his mood was mixed, and he couldn't even say a word.
He never imagined that Tsing Yi Yemen knew so clearly about Weizhou! This is simply incredible! Dozens of prefectures in nine towns, so many officials, have the Tsing Yi Yemen investigations? how can that be! But if they didn't check it, how could they know so well about Weizhou?
Yemen in Tsing Yi ... so horrible? !!
Zhang Wence's limbs were cold, and he felt himself falling into the abyss of fear.
Song Jiao's voice finally stopped.
The voice of King An resounded above his head: "The lone king has just given you a chance and asked you if you have anything to say. The lone king wanted you to get lost and to be honest with the lone king. It's sad, it's not that you cheated the lone king, but that the lone king can no longer trust you. Come, hold on! "
The voice was still smooth, with no pretentious majesty.
But Zhang Wence dare to guarantee that any voice he heard in his life was not more powerful and coercive than the voice at this moment!
After hearing these words from King An, he finally understood that the real horror was not King Tsing Yi, but King An!
His Highness King An, who dominates dozens of states in nine towns, manages every day, and can clearly observe Qiuhao!
Wang An could even achieve this level?
How did An Wang do it?
This is simply incredible!
Zhang Wenze's fear of An An in his heart, took time to penetrate the liver and gallbladder, and penetrate the bone marrow!
He finally understood that anyone who wanted to blind King An ’s eyes and thought that he could blind King An ’s eyes, even a well-established old King ’s Mansion like Liu Mingzhi, could only end up eating the evil results, and there would be no second End!
Such an An Wang does not need the towering majesty and golden brilliance of the mansion to show his wealth and wealth, making people fear his extraordinary status and unparalleled power, because he is as powerful and powerful as a **** himself. Awe will come from the bottom of my heart!
Can only come from the awe of my heart!
