Cry for Song

Chapter 87 Recruitment of Development and Reform Department

Today, Wang said that it was a good day: A Yun's case has been a sure way to win for the time being. Both the king's heart and public opinion are leaning towards A Yun on the balance of law and human feelings. It is still a small matter to win a chance for A Yun to avoid death, but the revision and improvement of legislation have been put on the agenda by Zhao Yu; the second happy thing is That is, the people in the house gathered together. The third thing, naturally, if the gold mine is found, the lights in the palace in the south of the town are bright on this day, and the lights in the garden are colorful. The king personally picks up the wind for everyone in the banquet hall of the garden.

The capital is not night, and the lanterns are on for the first time. The hawking along the street in Bianjing City is still endless. The shops facing the street are full of lights. The large and small restaurants and teahouses in the capital are full of seats. The juggling on the tiles, and the fireworks and willow alley are beautiful in spring,

Jinxiu Building is still the most popular of these restaurants. The lobby is intertwined. The singers sing and the hawkers who shuttle in the restaurant are endless. Diners praise the dishes again and again, talking about national affairs and anecdotes,

"Cloud Abstract" has released a new issue. Do you want it as a guest official?" A newspaper boy shuttled through the lobby, holding a cloud pick and shouting,

"This way, let's have one."

"This way, I also want it."

Hearing the name of Yun picked, many guests on the table stood up and greeted them. The child ran back and forth. The guest took out a few copper coins and put them on the table. The child put down the cloud pick and ran to other tables. When the cloud pick was not picked out, it was the time for the newspaper boy's happiest, because no more mansion newspaper could be like cloud pick. It sells so well,

Thanks to the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. Everyone reads poems and recites. Even the little newspaper boy can recite a few duets. In addition, the works published on this cloud extract are all the works of today's literary masters. Not only that, the cloud extract has more news than other mansion newspapers, as well as comments on the news,

Whether it is a literati doctor or a common people who come to the restaurant, they like to talk about poetry, or talk about the things in the court, or even Xixia and Liao. Everything that is new is a topic that people talk about.

Without much effort, the newspaper boy finished his work. "Thank you, Mr. Cui, I'll go first." When passing by the counter, Xiao Tong and Cui Xi said politely,

"Wait a minute." Cui Xi stopped him, called the clerk again, took some steamed buns and stuffed them into the book boy, "Take it with you." Xiao Tong thanked Cui Xi for holding the food out of the Jinxiu Building,

Looking at the child's thin back, Cui Xi shook his head with a sigh,

"Little Mr. Cui, you are so kind-hearted." The diners on the table closest to the counter looked at it and said,

"Poor, look at those children, they can't even have a full meal. My heart is not as good as the prince's heart. We can only care about people's food and clothing, and we can't save people's lives."

"Your prince is really majestic. Who would have thought that our king of Zhennan would appear in court for a little girl and save her life."

"It can be said that our prince is great. The biggest advantage is that the prince doesn't care how capable he is, but he is kind-hearted. There is nothing to say. If you want to see the result today, it's too urgent." Cui Xi curled his lips and raised his thumb to praise,

"Your old shopkeeper didn't follow the wrong person back then. By the way, I heard that the prince of this restaurant has given it to the old shopkeeper."

"Yes, my uncle gave me this restaurant and went to retire. The prince not only gave my uncle the shares of the restaurant, but also gave my uncle a pension every month.

"Looking at what you envy, this restaurant is not all yours now."

"That's what I said, but we didn't catch up with the good time. Don't give me this restaurant, just give me nothing. Now let me work with the prince and be a housekeeper in the house."

Several people at the next table are also regulars. Hearing Cui Xi's words, he laughed and said, "You are really a full man. You don't know that the hungry man is hungry. You have such a big restaurant, and you are still saying cheap words here."

"Hey hey." Cui Xiran smiled twice and did not deny, "How do you know that all the family members of the royal palace have books, and there are teachers who teach classes. The prince also encourages the people in the house to participate in the scientific examination. Do you know who invited them?" He took the wine pot handed over by Xiao Er, just sent it to the questioning table, and casually filled the three or four guests on the table with wine.

"Who is it?" The diners on the table asked,

Cui Xi lowered his voice and said, "Bachelor Hanlin... Ouyang Xiu."

"Wow." Several people couldn't help talking, "This is really amazing. Ouyang Hanlin has done several major examinations, and now there is no large number of Jinshi in the royal palace."

"This shopkeeper, I have something to ask."

Cui Xi felt that someone gently patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and stood a middle-aged man, about 34 years old, who didn't look like a person from the capital. "This guest officer, what do you want?"

"Oh, I was just talking about whether the prince who helped people to plead justice in Kaifeng Mansion today is called Wang Fang."

"Hey, you have asked, how can outsiders know the prince's name, but our restaurant was the prince's asset at that time, so the small ones still know something."

Cui Xi has followed Cui Fu in this restaurant since he was a child. Naturally, he saw a lot of people. Those who can say Wang's name must know Wang. Looking at this person, his appearance and manners are very extraordinary. Naturally, he dares not neglect,

"I just think it's him." The middle-aged man said to himself, and then asked, "Then I'll ask the shopkeeper again how to get to the royal palace."

"You are coming from a long way. You follow this road and go straight to the west. After walking a few streets, you can see the high buildings of the royal palace after passing Liangmen."

"Thank you very much." The middle-aged man thanked Cui Xi and returned to his dining table. Cui Xi saw a woman and a six- or seven-year-old child on the table. The man asked the clerk to pay for the meal. The three of them went out of the Jinxiu building and got into the carriage. The driver drove the carriage to the west.

"Mr. Cui should put up a special sign, which says to show the way to the prince. You see, the prince helped people win the lawsuit today, and there will be more people looking for the prince in the future." Several regular customers who just chatted talked and laughed,

"You don't know that there are many people who go to the royal palace and find the prince to do things, but our prince doesn't do everyone's business, and there are also a lot of nails. Moreover, even if the prince wants to help you, the common people, the prince will come out and don't want to help. Even if you are a court official, you will be blue." Cui Xi said, listening to other tables shouting to pay the bill, he quickly turned around and went to the counter.

Several people eating at the dinner table laughed while drinking wine and eating dishes: "Have you heard? Two days ago, an ambitious official went to see the prince. As a result, his nose was blue and his face was swollen. There were many new things in the palace. He could hit the pillar even if he stepped on a wooden board.

With a coax, a table of people laughed when they knew about this. There were also two people sitting on the table between the two chapters. One of them lowered his head deeply when he heard this and couldn't wait to stick it in his rice bowl.

"Ha ha, Brother Lv, if you bow your head again, just take it under the table."

Lv Huiqing looked at the speaker with resentment. This man's name is Li Jiao, and he is Lv Huiqing's classmate. "You also said that it's not good to go to eat somewhere. You have to let me come here."

"Come on, drink. People here don't know you and me. What are you afraid of?"

Lv Huiqing sighed, "You, haven't you known me as a brother for so many years? I'm not like you. I have a good brother."

Li Jiao said disdainfully, "Come on, my brother can't help me. We feel sorry for each other. Otherwise, with his brother-in-law, we will be a three- or four-grade official."

Bo of them sighed, as if they both felt that their official luck was not good,

"I also want to see the results of this A Yun case, but I didn't get it." The guests at the table next to him put down the cloud pick and said to Cui Xi, who was busy back and forth,

"How can it be so fast? Even if the result is judged today, it will take a few days for this cloud extract to be proofread." Cui Xi replied with a smile,

"If you want to say yes, it's not a big deal in this issue. I think the most interesting thing is that the court is going to set up the Development and Reform Department, and it also has to openly campaign for the promotion of the Development and Reform Department. I wonder if this is to compete with the martial arts style. You see, as long as you win the Jinshi, you can participate."

Listening to the discussion at the table next to him, Li Jiao said to Lv Huiqing, "Brother Lv, I think you are also superfluous. What else do you want to do next to the king? Just go directly to the department of Wang Shenzheng."

"You think I didn't go. When I signed up that day, you didn't know how many people there were there. Moreover, there were so many people participating in the scientific examination this year. This is like thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge. Although we are also Jinshi, how can we compare with today's descendants? Oh, you know you asked me if you didn't go."

Li Jiao shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's not that you don't know how I'm going. My brother's brother is most opposed to these new policies. Even my brother warned me not to participate in these things."

"It's okay not to participate. You don't see how much the emperor is favored by the king and his father. I guess this new policy is also the meaning of the emperor. There are heroes in troubled times, and the times make heroes. Now we can only do what we like." Lv Huiqing deliberately said more about the four words he liked,

"You have thrown it on the pillar. I think you'd better die."

"There is a will, but there is a way. Wang is too young to achieve great things. Moreover, you haven't heard that as early as the time of Emperor Renzong, Wang Anshi put forward tens of thousands of words. Wang, Wang, hum, he didn't help his father."

"So you still have a way."

"Of course." Lv Huiqing said, took out a small package from his arms and put it on the table. Li Jiao reached for it, and Lv Huiqing slapped him on the back of his hand,

Slowly opened the small cloth bag, which contained a booklet of old books. Lv Huiqing carefully dusted the soil and pointed to the booklet and said, "Look, what this is."

"Tang people's music score, this is a good thing. Where did Brother Lv get it? This is for Wang Anshi and Wang Jiefu."

Lv Huiqing smiled proudly: "How can that be done? Wang Anshi is very rigid. If he knows that I deliberately please him, I will definitely not be able to enter this development reform company. I gave it to his brother Wang Anguo. That man is a good flute and becomes an idiot."

"My son's road can't go through. You take the brother's road. It's really yours. Thanks to what you think, why do you have to get into such a difficult thing?" Li Jiao said puzzledly,

"I said you are really stupid. No wonder it's your brother who works with Sima Hanlin, not you. Look at the current situation in the court and China. There are so many people in Sima Hanlin can't suppress Wang Anshi's desire to change. What does he lack at this time? He lacks talent and wealth in danger."

Luan Huiqing said that he would not say more about this. He knew very well what the Development and Reform Department would do and reform the shortcomings of the court. That is to say, as long as the Development and Reform Department feels that it is a corruption, it can be reformed. This is not a general right.
