The weather in late spring and early summer is already a bit hot. When the delicate sun rising from the east emits fiery light, Shangguan Tingzhi, who was lying drunk in the gazebo, held his swollen forehead and opened his confused eyes to see Looking at the messy table in front of him, he recalled the scene of drinking yesterday, and then heaved a long sigh again.

But then Shangguan Tingzhi's complexion changed, he looked up at the rising sun, shouted "Oops", jumped up and rushed into the room, washed as fast as he could, and then He put on his shirt and started running to the door.

A servant had already prepared a horse for him outside the gate, Shangguan Tingzhi flew on the horse, and then hurried to the Datang Daily where he worked, when he passed an intersection, he saw a steamed stuffed bun stall, Shangguan Tingzhi drank it After drinking all night, I felt empty and uncomfortable in my stomach, so I asked the stall owner to wrap a few steamed buns for myself and put them in my carry-on bag for breakfast.

Shangguan Tingzhi was originally a student of the Imperial College, but last year, he suspended his studies from the Imperial College, and then applied to the Datang Daily, becoming a junior newspaper man, so that he can better contact all aspects of society and grow himself At the same time, they can hone their writing and knowledge. When the imperial examination begins, they can also participate in the imperial examination.Capital Datang 724

In fact, many scholars like Shangguan Tingzhi would choose to work in a newspaper office during the interval between imperial examinations, because working in a newspaper office can not only increase their experience, but also get in touch with more people and build some connections for themselves.Moreover, if a piece of sensational news can be reported, it will attract the attention of many people, which will clear many obstacles for their future imperial examinations.

Shangguan Tingzhi rode his horse to hurry, but in the end he was a step too late, when he arrived at the office of Datang Daily.His old-fashioned boss was already standing at the check-in counter with a face full of anger, and several other colleagues around his age were standing there with their heads bowed. It seemed that they were also arrested for being late.

Seeing this situation, Shangguan Tingzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet, face the boss's murderous gaze, and stand together with those colleagues who are in the same situation, and then bowed his head and said nothing, preparing to face the next squall rainstorm.

But what Shangguan Tingzhi didn't expect was that he was not the last one to be late.After him, two more colleagues came one after another. At this time, the face of his old-fashioned boss was so dark that he was about to wring out water.

Speaking of Datang Daily as the official mouthpiece, many scholars naturally want to come in and work, but it is corresponding.Datang Daily’s admissions are also very strict. Take Shangguanting as an example. At the beginning, more than 200 people came to apply for the job with him, but only 15 were admitted in the end. After a period of time, only he and one other person were left to become the official Mr. Newspaper Office.This shows how strict Datang Daily is in recruiting personnel.

Such a strict recruitment system is naturally very tight on management. For example, the department where the Shangguan Court is located is responsible for reporting on the interpretation of the imperial government's decrees.It can be said that it is a very important and serious department.Similarly, Shangguan Tingzhi's boss is also known for being rigid and serious, and he manages his subordinates very strictly, let alone being late.Even if there is a typo in the article, he will be reprimanded by him.

Originally, the Shangguan court thought that he was the only one who was late today.After all, in the past, few people would be late due to the strictness of the boss, but he did not expect so many people to be late today. This surprised him, but he was also a little thankful. After all, there were so many people who were late with him, so he must be punished. Not too heavy either.

"Speak up, tell me the reason for your lateness, if you don't satisfy me, then I will look good to you!" The stern boss glanced at his group of young subordinates, and asked with a look of resentment.In fact, he was also surprised in his heart. He had always emphasized that he was not allowed to be late, and his subordinates were also very obedient, but today, so many people were late all at once, which made him feel very strange.

"Editor Xu, I actually went out very early, but I don't know what happened today. I was blocked on the road as soon as I went out. I took several detours and finally arrived at the newspaper office, but in the end I was late!" The first person immediately said with an aggrieved face, their boss is surnamed Xu, and he is also the editor-in-chief of the department. Generally, everyone is called editor-in-chief Xu.

"Editor Xu, I am also stuck on the road. You know that my house is far away. Now the population of Chang'an is increasing. There are also more and more people going out to work every morning, and the road congestion is also increasing. Seriously, shall we send an article to appeal to the court to pay attention to the traffic situation in Chang'an?" The second latecomer also asked.This guy is very clever, not only attributed the reason for his lateness to traffic jams, but also to work, which made other people admire him.

The old-fashioned editor-in-chief Xu just ate this paragraph, and his face turned pale when he heard the words. He thought for a while and said: "This suggestion is good. The traffic situation in Chang'an has been too serious in recent years. Let's As the mouthpiece of the court, Tang Daily is also obliged to make suggestions for the court, I will report this matter to the president to see what he means?"

Editor-in-Chief Xu then looked at other people, and these people also defended themselves one after another. Almost all of them were victims of the road congestion, and according to one of them, when he came, he found that there was even a section of Suzaku Street. They were all blocked, and hundreds of large carriages blocked the wide Suzaku Avenue tightly. He also took a long detour to reach the newspaper office.

After the others finished explaining their reasons for being late, Editor-in-Chief Xu finally set his sights on Shangguan Ting, but at this moment his complexion was very bad, and his tone became more severe: "Ting Zhi, Others are late because the road is blocked, your home is so close to the newspaper office, it must be because the road is blocked, right?"

Shangguan Tingzhi smiled wryly in his heart. Editor-in-Chief Xu was a friend of his father, and the two lived very close together, and they came to the newspaper by the same road, so Editor-in-Chief Xu naturally knew whether the road he came was congested. There is no way to lie, and in the end, I can only admit it honestly: "Qi to the editor-in-chief, I was late because I overslept this morning, please punish me by the editor-in-chief!"

"Hmph! If you know how to sleep late at a young age, what are you going to do in the future? Go back and write me a letter of confession. In addition, you will be fined for not going out for interviews for ten days, and you will stay at the newspaper office to proofread articles written by other people. Are you convinced?" Editor-in-Chief Xu did not let him go just because he was good friends with Shangguan Tingzhi's father, on the contrary, he punished Shangguan Tingzhi even more severely.

For example, Shangguan court is not allowed to go out for interviews for ten days. Although it is very difficult to go out for interviews, in order to interpret some government orders of the court, their departments often need to send people to interview some ministers of the court. It is a good opportunity to get acquainted with officials from the DPRK and China, which will be very beneficial to the future imperial examinations, so most people are scrambling to go out for interviews.

In addition, there is proofreading of other people's articles, which is even more of a hard job. You don't deserve credit for doing a good proofreading. If you make mistakes, the proofreader has to bear the main responsibility.

Hearing his punishment, Shangguan Tingzhi could only helplessly agree. After all, no matter whether it was public or private, he dared not disobey the words of Editor-in-Chief Xu.However, he also slandered in his heart, thinking that Editor-in-Chief Xu was avenging his personal revenge, and that the other party was indeed a friend of his father, Shangguanyi. In addition, Editor-in-Chief Xu also had a daughter, whom he wanted to marry to Shangguan Tingzhi, but Shangguan Tingzhi had already known her at the time. After getting married, he really couldn't tolerate other women in his heart, so he rejected this marriage. From then on, Shangguan Tingzhi felt that Uncle Xu was much stricter to him.

After receiving the punishment, the latecomers were reprimanded by Editor-in-Chief Xu before returning to their seats.Originally, Shangguan Tingzhi still had an interview task today, but now it can only be handed over to others.And before he sat down, other colleagues around him fell into trouble one after another, handed him the manuscript they had written before with a smile, and told him to proofread it as soon as possible, and they were all still waiting for the manuscript to be delivered.Capital Datang 724

Looking at the half-foot-thick stack of manuscripts in front of him, Shangguan Ting wanted to cry, but there were so many manuscripts in just one day, how long would it take for him to finish proofreading?

Although complaining in his heart, Shangguan Tingzhi started to work very hard. He first made himself a cup of strong tea, drank a few sips to refresh himself, and first finished writing the confession, as a person who relies on pens for food , There is no pressure to write this kind of thing.

Next, Shangguan Tingzhi began to proofread the articles of his colleagues. This was a very labor-intensive job, not only to correct the typos in the articles, but also to correct some sentences that did not make sense, or where the allusions were wrong.Shangguan Tingzhi had just proofread a few articles, and he already felt his head was a little swollen.

I saw Shangguan Tingzhi "rubbing" his temples, just feeling a little hungry at this moment, he looked up and looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he secretly took the food he bought on the road from his bag. Take out the buns, and read the manuscript while eating.

Just when Shangguan Tingzhi was solving his stomach problem, suddenly there was a commotion outside the newspaper office. Someone came in and said something to Editor-in-Chief Xu, and then Editor-in-Chief Xu, who had always been calm, ran out regardless of his identity. Immediately afterwards, this caused the entire newspaper office to be very surprised, not knowing what happened outside.

However, a well-informed person went outside to inquire, but he ran back quickly and shouted excitedly in the newspaper office: "Princess Jinyang is here, everyone hurry up and get ready to welcome her!"
