The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 272

Feelings are really strange sometimes, you can feel them even though you don't say them.

Xie Shen hugged Xu Qianqian into his arms and said in a low voice, "You are mine, no one can take you away from me."

Miss Xu only felt dizzy for a while, and murmured an "um".

Under the locust tree on a moonlit night, Xu Qianqian and Xie Shen also blend into the painting, which is beyond words.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Xie Shen was awakened by Chen Hu'er to go to work in the Imperial Academy.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty had a strict system of rest and muting. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, only gave officials three days off in the first year of the enactment, which is simply outrageous.

You must know that most of the dynasties before the Ming Dynasty adopted ten-day rest, that is, one day off for ten days, and at least three days off in a month.

However, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang directly cut across the board, causing officials to complain endlessly.

However, maybe this system of rest and bathing is too inhumane. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, his descendants sympathized with his courtiers and improved some details. For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that in addition to statutory holidays such as New Year's Day, Winter Solstice, and Lantern Festival, officials can follow the ancient system at the beginning of each year. Xunxiu.

This is a great grace, civil and military officials have shouted long live, and this fine tradition has been inherited.

But even so, the number of days off for officials in the Ming Dynasty was still very small.

But there are always exceptions to everything.

The Ming Dynasty also opened up a gap for officials to take vacations, that is, Shujishi can take a rest every five days, and Guozijian can take vacations on the first and fifteenth of every month.

Therefore, even Xie Shen took half a day off yesterday to host the reception banquet for the future Taishan Xu Guan.

You can ask for leave in an emergency, but you can't ask for it consecutively, otherwise it is easy to leave a bad impression on the leader.

Xie Shen's current immediate boss is Mr. Wang Huawang, he is a model of impartiality and selflessness, Xie Shen naturally does not want to be in trouble.

Xie Shen was still a little sleepy when the sedan chair landed in the Imperial Academy.

After yawning and rubbing his eyes, Xie Xiuzhuan opened the car curtain and stepped out.

At this moment, Xie Shen was actually a little envious of Shujishi.

After all, Shu Jishi enjoys privileges on top of vacation, and can take a bath once every five days.And he had to go to work every day for editing and editing at the Imperial Academy, and he had to skip work if he wanted to rest.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is still some truth to this rule.

After all, Shu Jishi is just a reserve cadre, and has not been formally appointed.Without the appointment of an official, the standard requirements of an official cannot be fully followed, and it seems reasonable to give special preferential treatment.

Although the Hanlin Academy's editors and editors have higher rankings in the examination than Shu Jishi, but because they have entered the officialdom, they naturally have to use the official standards.

Xie Shen sighed helplessly, and stepped into the office.

Seeing Xie Xiuzhuan coming, the doctors of the Five Classics saluted one after another.

Xie Shen smiled, nodded slightly as a return of courtesy.

It's strange, Mr. Wang Huawang is always the first to arrive on weekdays, why hasn't he come today?Could it be that he specially asked for leave to accompany Wang Shouren?
Xie Shen brewed a cup of Yuyao Immortal Tea to refresh himself, and just after taking a sip, Dr. Cui Zhilu leaned over and said, "Xie Xiuzhuan, Eunuch Deng from Yumajian is here, I'm afraid it's for you."

Xie Shen frowned and said, "Eunuch Yuma Supervisor? What is he doing here?"

If it is said that the cabinet corresponds to the inspector of ceremonies, then the Imperial Academy, which is the training camp for the future cabinet, will more or less overlap with the inspector of ceremonies and other eunuchs, but the inspector of the horse will be completely out of reach.

Xie Shen also had no friendship with this Eunuch Deng, the Horse Supervisor, so why would he pay a sudden visit?

Cui Zhilu sighed and said, "This lower official doesn't know either, but Xie Xiuzhuan should meet him."

Xie Shen nodded.

It is not surprising that there are many people in the court, there is no need to offend the eunuchs in the palace.

Xie Shen straightened his clothes and strode out of the office.

I saw a young eunuch in gorgeous brocade robes standing in front surrounded by a group of eunuchs.

"This is Xie Xiuzhuan."

Cui Zhilu hurriedly stepped forward and introduced.

Deng Yuan nodded.

"Our family has come to discuss with Mr. Xie something important, so let's talk in the office."

Deng Yuan's voice was not as sharp as Xie Shen imagined, but rather thick.

Xie Shen cupped his hands and said, "Please, Eunuch Deng."

The two entered the office, and the busy doctors of the Five Classics, servants, and books all retreated out with interest.

Just kidding, the eunuch Yumajian is second only to the eunuch Silijian.Most of the eunuchs who can be imperial horse supervisors are the emperor's confidantes. It is not guaranteed that Deng Yuan came to the Hanlin Academy to pass on the emperor's oral order.

Seeing that the office was empty, Deng Yuan suddenly bowed to Xie Shen, "Xie Xiuzhuan, save me!"

Xie Shen hurriedly supported Deng Yuan and said, "Eunuch Deng, what are you doing!"

Are routines popular now?
"Xie Xiuzhuan didn't know something, but Li Guang has always been jealous of Mr. Liu. Originally, there was a vacancy in the supervisor of ceremonies, and Mr. Liu could be elected by him, but Li Guang's servant slandered the emperor and sent him to Hangzhou. In this way, Mr. Liu may not have a chance to enter the Prison of Rituals."

Deng Yuan's voice was mournful, but Xie Shen's heart sank.

Couldn’t the Duke Liu that Deng Yuan mentioned just now be Liu Wen?

The status of the chief inspector of ceremonies to eunuchs in the palace is equivalent to that of the cabinet to civil servants, so anyone who can enter the chief inspector of ceremonies as an eunuch of Bingbi means that he has been approved by the emperor.

This Deng Yuan should be on good terms with Liu Wen, so he will fight for Liu Wen's injustice, right?
But what does this have to do with saving him?

"Grand Liu has a great kindness to me. Naturally, our family can't watch Xiaoxiao slander him in front of the emperor. On the empress's birthday, our family complained to the emperor about Li Guang's despicableness at the birthday banquet, and asked the emperor to let him go. Mr. Liu was transferred back to the capital. However, he was reprimanded by the emperor."

Xie Shen knew the ending without Deng Yuan going on.

Speaking of this kind of thing at the queen's birthday banquet, this Deng Yuan is really not afraid of death.

What's more, Li Guang's holy family is now in prosperity, and the emperor may not listen to Deng Yuan's words. He picked such an unlucky time and it would only have the opposite effect.

Fights between eunuchs are no weaker than those between civil servants, and they often end in death.

For example, Liu Wen and Deng Yuan are the same people, and Li Guang will kill them all to wipe out the roots.

Anyway, Xie Shen also has some friendship with Liu Wen, so it's better to sell Deng Yuan a favor.

"Eunuch Deng might as well try to find Duke Xiao, maybe he has a way."

The Xiao Gong that Xie Shen said was the great eunuch Xiao Jing.

This boss is from Nanping, Fujian, and entered the palace since childhood.In the third year of Hongzhi, when the ceremonial supervisor was vacant, Xiao Jing joined the ceremonial supervisor to participate in government affairs because of his high morals and prestige. Since then, he has lived a magnificent life.

This big man lived to be 90 years old. He has served four times as a eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, and eunuch who was in charge of printing four times. He has served six emperors.

What are the elders of the Three Dynasties?This Xiao Jing is the elder of the Six Dynasties!
Hearing Xiao Jing's ranking, Deng Yuan was slightly taken aback.
