Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 281 Zong Mou Hasn't Sobered Up Yet? (Fourth watch is asking for a monthly ticket)

Zong Ze, once again came to the official office of the Ministry of Officials, looked straight at the official office that had been here so many times, and couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

Because of the drunkenness on the first day, the whole person was depressed the next day.

Naturally, Zongze could only lie down obediently in the inn for a day. Until now, he was much more energetic, so he decided to continue to the official department.

After all, housing prices in Bianliang, Tokyo, are outrageously expensive. Even many dignitaries who sit in high positions may not be able to have a house of their own in Tokyo.

It's not something that a clean and honest official like him can afford.

Standing here, I can't help but think of the chat with Chen Shilang and the newly acquainted Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan that day.

The prodigy No. [-] scholar who is very talkative, talented and knowledgeable is indeed very unusual. Communicating with him can even make people forget that he is still a child.

Of course, Zong Ze still remembered that he was complaining about the gang of bastards in the official department for not doing anything, and his old friend Chen Shilang jokingly asked this child prodigy champion to help him.

But at that time, I, who had already drank a little too much, actually had hope for this.

It's just that Zong Ze originally wanted to look for Chen Shilang again after he woke up after being drunk.

But I was also worried that I would go to my old friend and ask the child prodigy champion if he would take what he said at the wine table that day seriously. Isn't that a bit too embarrassing?
In the end, Zongze's strong self-esteem made Zongze control himself. No matter what, during the banquet that day, he calmed down a lot after the enlightenment of Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan and Chen Shilang.

No matter what, I have to go to the official department again today to see what's going on.

If they really want to kick themselves over there, they will continue to be county magistrates.

After all, I can govern one side of the civil affairs, do more things for the local people, and contribute more of my strength to the court.

After exhaling, Zong Ze lifted the front of his green official robe and stepped up the steps towards the official government office in front of him.

#####
He had just arrived on the steps, and an officer who had led him many times before to meet the officials of various divisions hurried forward to meet him.

"It turned out to be an official Zong. The official Zong kept the little official waiting. Yesterday Langzhong Wang told the subordinate officials that as soon as the official Zong came, he would take you to see him as soon as possible."

Zong Ze's mind suddenly flashed the image of the official with power in the official department with a cold face and a strange voice.

I went looking for this person before, either pushing back and forth, or just perfunctory, and kept delaying my selection of officials.

But now, let the guard who guards the gate lead him there, is there any need to ask?

Presumably at this moment, they had already chosen their own place, thinking of the words they had inadvertently heard in the communication between officials and officials.

Zong Ze gritted his teeth and forced a smile towards the guard.

"Since Wang Langzhong invites you, I will take care of you, little brother."

"Don't dare, please invite the Zong officials to accompany the junior officials..."

After a short time, Zong Ze came to the courtyard he had been to before under the guidance of the guard.

But this time, the guard didn't let himself wait for him to go in and report at the gate of the yard like in the past.

Instead, he signaled himself to follow him in directly. Zong Ze didn't doubt that he was there, and walked into the courtyard with him, and came to Wang Langzhong's public house.

"Wang Langzhong, the Zong officials have arrived."

Following the yelling of the guard, Wang Langzhong, who was sitting behind the desk with a deep frown, shouted directly.

"Please hurry up..."

"Hurry up, please..." Was this word really addressed to Zong?

Zong Ze froze on the spot in a daze, and finally controlled his emotions, after entering the public room.

Neither humble nor overbearing returned a salute to Wang Langzhong who had already stood up.

"The next official can't be called Wang Langzhong."

Seeing that this is still a rigid face, this Wang Langzhong almost wants to subconsciously throw his face away.

But in the end, considering Zong Ze's current status, he is completely different from before.

Wang Langzhong could only suppress his inner displeasure, and smiled at Zong Ze.

"Zong Zhizhou must not be so modest, now you are an important official from the fifth rank, a lower official..."

"What did you say?!" Zong Ze suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted.

Zong Ze was originally tall and burly, coupled with his suddenly round and angry eyes, it made Wang Langzhong tremble with fright.

"Zongzhizhou, let's have a good talk. I have offended many officials in the past, so please ask Zongzhizhou Haihan..."

"Me? Zhizhou?" Zong Ze raised his finger and pointed to the tip of his nose, his face full of disbelief.

"That's right, you were elected as the magistrate of Dengzhou. If you don't believe me, look at your edict, as well as your fish talisman and fish bag..."

"...These things were already prepared yesterday, but I didn't expect you from Zongzhi Prefecture to arrive yesterday.

Although the officer wants to send you to your door in person, I really don't know where you live in Tokyo..."

Zong Ze picked up the edict and looked at the words and seal on it.

I felt like I was dreaming, and even reached out to pinch myself secretly, for fear that I was still in a drunk dream and hadn't woken up yet.

#####
"I remember, Wang Langzhong, you told this official before, saying that the Ministry of Officials felt that my ability was too mediocre, and it was okay to govern a county.

Therefore, a new position has been selected for me, and I am also the county magistrate..."

Zong Ze fixed his eyes on this Langzhong Wang, and his voice was hoarse, revealing a bit of uncertainty and anger.

"Why did Wang Langzhong's attitude change so drastically in just a blink of an eye, and even the selection of this official has changed so drastically?"

"Zong Zhizhou is joking, we are all courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, as the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor."

"I don't have any personal grudges against Zong Zhizhou. It's all about my duty. As for why this is so, how can I know the reason for this?"

Zong Ze was still in a daze until he was sent out of the official office by Wang Lang Zhonggong.

He even took the fish talisman out of the fish bag and looked at it again, as if he was afraid it was fake.

Step by step, he went down the steps, stood under the steps, turned his head, and looked towards the officials' office.

Still feeling a strong sense of unreality, he walked to the side of the street opposite the Ministry of Officials, and after standing in a trance for a long time, Zong Ze touched the edict he had already carried in his bosom.

Turning around, he walked quickly towards the direction of his friend Chen Shilang's house in the same year.

Now, I am afraid that the only one who can help me confirm the truth is this old friend...
