The northwest autumn wind blew to wrinkle Capital City Government pool of water, the wind crossed the water traceless, but under the water surface, is the undercurrent is turbulent. 西北秋风吹皱了京城官场一池水,风过水无痕,可水面之下,已是暗流汹涌。 After Rwandan Dowling, Yuan Guo, becomes Sima plain magnificence of Ministry of Rites Shangshu, greeted that domineering young Regional Prince, returns yamen that the Zhao Family jar that and Ministry of War adjoined , the seventy years of age old person appeared the gaseous state to be especially feeble. 继卢道林、元虢之后成为礼部尚书的司马朴华,迎接完了那位跋扈至极的年轻藩王,返回赵家瓮那座与兵部毗邻的衙门,古稀之年的老人显得格外气态衰弱。 The Shangshu province six yamen of reconstruction beginning in Yonghui supposes abreast in row, Liyang toward left at your right hand inferior, the commanding officer is honored as the board of personnel of day of officer to be naturally located in most left side, at that time held the post of Gu Jiantang of Ministry of War Shangshu, chose the yamen beyond expectation in the farthest right side, therefore from east to west , in descending order , are the government official household punishment labor guard of honor, by this obvious, what kind of popular Ministry of Rites in Yonghui years was, initial Capital City has had „Ministry of Rites vice minister to be inexpensive, if left a gentry official” the view, with the wielding Ministry of Rites of Rwandan Dowling Yuan Guo two Shangshu, Ministry of Rites then gradually the day changed for the better, now not to mention, the hall pavilion bachelor has Ministry of Rites, is unwritten. Custom. 重建于永徽初的尚书省六座衙门并排而设,离阳朝左尊右卑,主官被誉为天官的吏部自然位于最左端,当时担任兵部尚书的顾剑棠,出人意料地把衙门选在了最右端,故而从东至西,依次是吏户刑工礼兵,以此可见,礼部永徽是如何的不受待见,最初京城一直有“礼部侍郎贱如别部员外郎”的说法,随着卢道林元虢两任尚书的执掌礼部,礼部这才逐渐日子好转起来,如今就更不用说了,馆阁学士出礼部,已是不成文的规矩。 Sima Puhua from Xiangfu since two years, each time toward meeting the back supports is straighter than the young official, even if at present were late autumn , the feeling of whole face spring breeze. Today but old Shangshu returns to the appearance of yamen, falls in the clever as Ministry of Rites official eye, with being as if in a trance almost, after the old person gets sick enters dispiritedly the room took a seat, starts to keep sighing, the vice-minister Shanxi Orchid Pavilion and new vice-minister Jiang Yongle came in waves, old Shangshu had not detected, but also heaved a sigh there. 司马朴华自祥符二年起,每次朝会腰杆子挺得比年轻官员还要直,哪怕时下是深秋时分了,也给人满脸春风的感觉。可是今天老尚书回到衙门的模样,落在猴精似的礼部官员眼中,就跟丢了魂差不多,老人病怏怏地进了屋子落座后,开始长吁短叹,以至于左侍郎晋兰亭和新任右侍郎蒋永乐联袂而至,老尚书都不曾察觉,还在那儿唉声叹气。 Jiang Yongle sees so the scene, immediately the heart cool a section, the local official only knows his originally heads the honest officials division that the Ministry of Rites ancestral hall offers a sacrifice, reason that can be promoted for the vice minister, is Capital that flourishing Mao spring/lust and Chen Wang two big shot manage comments resulted in the good appraisal, this emerges from Ministry of Rites grades and salary suitable one group of colleagues, but the tiny big official employed in the capital are well aware, his Jiang Yongle can fish this to let the vice-minister who the person is jealous of more and more, nothing but was the past years after was Cripple Xu dies at the posthumous name incident, his Jiang Yongle dog shit transporting bet extremely to the previous emperor thoughts, proposed. „Military is severe” posthumous name to pass, so-called Capital comments to lose face/show off, but is the fig leaf of royal government. Capital City high-ranking court official high-ranking court official who some look down upon Jiang Yongle, that is shouts him a dog shit vice minister straightforwardly! Previously what Jiang Yongle was also disinclined to haggle over, could not haggle over a pattern, he in Capital City for the officer many years, the foundation was not deep, will otherwise not spread at that time on rules the posthumous name that disaster, looked like in Jiang Yongle, the vice minister person in office of when production costs rise , prices rise was too, was not convinced you also to step on the dog shit, can make your officer remedial work turn embroiders the peacock? When vice minister Sir heard the son who suddenly military severe posthumous name master, cool weather of early autumn king Xu Fengnian does not have the indication to go into Capital City, Jiang Yongle frightened ignorant, originally he also somewhat covertly with the thought that Shanxi Orchid Pavilion contend, is hoping for perhaps was not careful steps on dog shit to be able really to become Ministry of Rites Shangshu time again, now where also dares is so rampant? The seat of Shangshu is greedy, but the poor life is more important. Therefore this goes hand in hand, Jiang Yongle stance suspends is lower than Chancellor sixth grade, was thinking today must consult to learn from experienced people with this vice-minister, how can achieve with Beiliang fights everywhere also has a very successful official career relatively as before. 蒋永乐看见这般光景,顿时心凉了一截,地方官员只知道他这个原本执掌礼部祠祭的清吏司,之所以能够升迁为侍郎,是殷茂春和陈望两位大佬主持的京评中得了上佳考语,这才从礼部品秩相当的一拨同僚中脱颖而出,可是芝麻绿豆大的京官都心知肚明,他蒋永乐能够捞到这个越来越让人眼红的右侍郎,无非是当年在为徐瘸子死后的谥号一事上,他蒋永乐极其狗屎运地赌对了先帝心思,提出的“武厉”谥号得以通过,所谓的京评出彩,不过是朝廷的一层遮羞布罢了。一些个瞧不上眼蒋永乐的京城公卿重臣,那可是直截了当喊他一声狗屎侍郎的！先前蒋永乐也懒得计较什么,也计较不出个花样,他在京城为官多年,始终根基不深,否则当时也不会摊上裁定谥号的那桩祸事,在蒋永乐看来,水涨船高的侍郎官身才是实打实的,不服气你们也去踩狗屎啊,能让你们的官补子变成绣孔雀吗？只是当侍郎大人冷不丁听说武厉谥号主人的儿子,新凉王徐凤年毫无征兆地闯入京城,蒋永乐就吓懵了,本来他还有几分偷偷摸摸跟晋兰亭一较高下的念头,希冀着不小心再踩一次狗屎说不定就能真当上礼部尚书了,现在哪里还敢如此嚣张？尚书的座椅是让人眼馋,可小命更要紧啊。因此这一路结伴而行,蒋永乐的姿态摆得比六品主事还要低,心想着今儿一定要跟这位左侍郎请教取经,如何才能做到跟北凉处处争锋相对还依旧官运亨通。 Old Shangshu has gotten back one's composure finally, puts out a hand to hint two assistants to take a seat, looks at these two vice ministers, Sima Puhua was not quite comfortable in the past, an age can, when the oneself son, is more excessive, can become the grandson, but officer differs first-order, only waits for oneself to return home to official, the officer remedial work of somebody chest front should change into the second grade golden pheasant, but the old person does not have this wishful thinking today, has some moods of having same problem actually, old Shangshu shot a look at a front door gently, coughs, after sleek/moist throat, this said slowly: „Now the Japanese officers receive orders to welcome cool king Rucheng suddenly, both Sirs are know.” 老尚书终于回过神,伸手示意两位副手入座,看着这两个侍郎,司马朴华以往是不太舒服的,一个岁数能当自己儿子,一个更过分,都能当孙子了,可官品不过相差一阶而已,只等自己致仕还乡,其中某人胸前的官补子就该换成二品锦鸡了,只是年迈老人今天没了这份小心思,倒是生出一些同病相怜的心情,老尚书轻轻瞥了眼屋门,咳嗽一声,润了润嗓子后,这才缓缓说道:“今日本官突然奉旨迎凉王入城,想必两位大人都是知道的。” Jiang Yongle makes an effort to nod, like chicken pecking meter/rice. 蒋永乐使劲点头,如同小鸡啄米。 Because the pogonotrophy reveals one's aspirations the incident in Shanxi Orchid Pavilion that Tai'an City becomes conversation topic, the facial expression is invariable, worthily is honored as „demeanor beautiful” Shinzaburo. 因蓄须明志一事在太安城传为美谈的晋兰亭,神情不变,不愧是被誉为“风仪大美”的晋三郎。 Then Sima Puhua spoke some ordinary government words, such bureaucratic way of talking, if yamen discussing official business in ordinary day, the 70-year-old senior can say that 1-2 double-hour do not bring to gasp for breath, this was gate cultivation base. However today old Shangshu verbose has not kept, stops the thread of conversation, puts out a hand stone from Mt. Shoushan paper weight that strokes a side gift of the emperor, the silent moment, a few words as if used very big physical strength saying that „when distinction, that Regional Prince told this officer, will have the time to come our Ministry of Rites to sit.” 接下来司马朴华说了些平淡无奇的官场话,这样的官腔,如果是平日里的衙门议事,古稀老人能够说上1-2时辰都不带喘气的,这就是公门修为了。但是今天老尚书没有絮絮叨叨个不停,止住话头,伸手抚摸一方御赐的田黄镇纸,沉默片刻,一句话似乎用了很大气力才说出口,“分别之际,那位藩王跟本官说了,有时间会来咱们礼部坐坐。” Shanxi Orchid Pavilion took matter easy. 晋兰亭泰然处之。 Jiang Yongle is dumbfounded, does not know is the misconception, he always thought that Shangshu Sir said, looked at oneself one unintentionally, is full of the color of pitying, like looking at a just before execution pitiful creature. 蒋永乐则目瞪口呆,也不知是不是错觉,他总觉得尚书大人说完后有意无意看了自己一眼,其中饱含怜悯之色,如同在看一个临刑的可怜虫。 Sima Puhua eyes hide collect lowly, added one tepid, „that person added, must talk about old days.” 司马朴华眼皮子低敛,不温不火地添了一句,“那人还说,要叙叙旧。” Shanxi Orchid Pavilion narrowed the eye, stroked the maintenance fine beard, the smile said: „?” 晋兰亭眯起眼,捋了捋保养精致的胡须,微笑道:“哦？” Jiang Yongle streaming with sweat, talking about old days, looks for Shanxi Orchid Pavilion? Looks for itself? The official who Ministry of Rites can amount to something having it all? 蒋永乐汗如雨下,叙旧,是找晋兰亭？还是找自个儿？或者是把礼部上得了台面的官员给一锅端？ Old Shangshu that two withered such as the finger of firewood, the subconsciousness is stroking gently that side quality of material mild stone from Mt. Shoushan Ruishi paper weight, does not know that with the Shinyu concubine flesh similar reasons of 28 ages, is enormous and powerful in the feeling emperor's graciousness. 老尚书那两根干枯如柴的手指,下意识摩挲着那方质地温润的田黄瑞狮镇纸,不知是跟二八芳龄的新纳美妾肌肤相似的缘故,还是在感受皇恩浩荡。 young Regional Prince said that must come Ministry of Rites to sit is real, said that must talk about old days is also real, but Sima Puhua leaked said that actually the cool weather of early autumn king beside this, exchanged greetings much with his second grade senior official smalltalk. Now after tall Tingshu length, this group „the Xiangfu new officer” does not know probably, more venerable „Old minister Yonghui” knew, the Tai'an City government had a big joke long ago, that was the Beiliang say/way presents tribute leased out from the fine to the warhorse of pasture, Sima Puhua held the post of the Ministry of Rites gentry official at that time, had seen in the after memorial to the throne of hand writes the Beiliang Malaysia high about six chi (0.33 m), could not bear laugh loudly, shared this interesting rumor with important goods Ministry of Rites colleagues immediately, Sima Puhua did not forget the review „Beiliang this Malaysia also is really enough big, can compare favorably with the mule that our Tai'an City drew the excrement. Big of the world, really is really every possible strange thing, counts this Beiliang to be strangeest”, finally waits till cool horse Rujing, has not grasped scholar Sima Puhua of blade for a lifetime, understands that the warhorse by the horse's head does not calculate highly, but only to warhorse back! 年轻藩王说要来礼部坐一坐是真,说要叙旧也是真,只不过司马朴华漏说了一段,其实新凉王在这之外,跟他这位二品高官客套寒暄了不少。现在高亭树范长后这拨“祥符新官”大概都不知道,只有资历更老的“永徽老臣”才晓得,太安城官场早年有个不小的笑话,那是北凉道进贡了一批出自纤离牧场的战马,司马朴华当时担任礼部员外郎,看到过手的奏章上写着北凉大马高近六尺后,忍不住捧腹大笑,就立即跟一大帮礼部同僚分享这个趣闻,司马朴华不忘点评了一句“北凉这大马还真是够大,都能比得上咱们太安城拉粪的骡子了,天下之大,真真是无奇不有,又数这北凉最奇怪”,结果等到凉马入京,一辈子都没握过刀的读书人司马朴华,才明白战马高度不是以马头算的,而是仅至战马背脊！ Makes such huge joke, harms Sima Puhua unable to gain ground for many years, as officer of Sir Sima is getting higher and higher , are less is mentioned. Does not want today, that young Regional Prince to expose this scabs, told Shangshu Sir with a smile „Shangshu Sir, does not know where inside Capital City has the high about six chi (0.33 m) excrement mule, this Prince must experience, is trip has not been made in vain, is right”. 闹出这么个天大笑话,害得司马朴华抬不起头好些年,只不过随着司马大人的官品越来越高,也就越少被人提及。不曾想就在今天,那个年轻藩王又揭开这个伤疤,笑着跟尚书大人说了一句“尚书大人,不知京城里头哪里有高近六尺的拉粪骡子,本王一定要见识见识,才算不虚此行,对不对啊”。 At that time how Sima Puhua can also answer, has the submissive hollow laugh not to speak, was difficult to be inadequate also nods to say is? 当时司马朴华还能如何作答,就只好低眉顺眼干笑着不说话,难不成还点头说是？ At this time old Shangshu more is more aggrieved, always confessed that the cultivating vital energy time good old person, the five fingers gripped unknowingly tightened the paper weight. 此时老尚书越想越憋屈,一向自认养气功夫不俗的老人,不知不觉五指攥紧了镇纸。 Jiang Yongle has started to calculate must plead illness in excuse to ask for leave, is really not good, clenches teeth to fall a tumble solid, falls his black and blue! 蒋永乐已经开始盘算着要不要托病告假,实在不行,就咬咬牙结实摔一跤,摔他个鼻青脸肿！ Shanxi Orchid Pavilion started talking finally, but the spoken language made Jiang Yongle be confused, „Shangshu Sir, lower official your family place just received several cages to be from spring the autumn crab of god lake, when was lushest, regardless of steamed the scholartree salt, all was good. What day the Sir has time, tastes with the lower official together?” 晋兰亭终于开口说话,只是言语却让蒋永乐一头雾水,“尚书大人,下官府上刚收了几笼产自春神湖的秋蟹,正是最为肥美之时,无论清蒸还是槐盐,皆是不错。大人何日得闲,与下官一起尝一尝？” Old Shangshu un, on the face had the happy expression, „hears to have in the poem the high person who placed second in the imperial civil service examination of name of wizard, new recent work one spreads over the national capital crab excellent work, may be called the pinnacle of poetic creation. Has the liquor to have the crab to have the poem, 32 good friends, are how beautiful!” 老尚书嗯了一声,脸上有了笑意,“听闻有诗中鬼才之称的高榜眼,新近作了一首传遍京华的品蟹佳作,堪称绝唱。有酒有蟹有诗,三两好友,何其美哉！” Jiang Yongle became the Ministry of Rites vice-ministers to have the luck ingredient, but talked circuitously dozen of riddle time unequalled Ministry of Rites Yamen to fool around together in everyone for a long time, cultivation base was actually not bad, tasted slightly, slightly was only slower than to plan to listen to Shanxi Orchid Pavilion the implication of Shangshu Sir. 蒋永乐当上礼部右侍郎有运气成分,可是在人人绕圈子打哑谜功夫无与伦比的礼部衙门厮混久了,修为其实不差,略微回味,只比尚书大人略慢一筹就听出了晋兰亭的言外之意。 New person who placed second in the imperial civil service examination youth Gaoting who old Shangshu mentioned set up in that poem, there are to add the finishing touch a language: But the indifferent view crab, when looks at you to run amuck! 老尚书提及的新科榜眼郎高亭树那首诗中,有画龙点睛一语:但将冷眼观螃蟹,看你横行到几时！ Jiang Yongle is also immediately heavyhearted, the principle is this principle, but urgent matter, is that only swollen with arrogance northwest big crab must intrude Ministry of Rites Yamen at present immediately, your Sima Puhua is deep-rooted in Tai'an City, there is a high-ranking aloof Shangshu status, but Shanxi Orchid Pavilion is previous emperor gives now the Son of Heaven scarlet person as the storage feudal official, had Emperor your majesty to support, you two could boil, but my Jiang Yongle was only the vice-minister who a government position was suspended in midair, once that Regional Prince really must attack brutally, whom didn't ask me to look for? surnamed Xu when runs amuck to me does not know, I only know father was very likely to leave Ministry of Rites Yamen quickly horizontally! 只是蒋永乐立马就又忧心忡忡起来,理是这个理,可眼下燃眉之急,是那只气焰嚣张的西北大蟹马上就要闯入礼部衙门,你司马朴华在太安城根深蒂固,又有显贵超然的尚书身份,而晋兰亭则是先帝作为储臣交给当今天子的大红人,有皇帝陛下撑腰,你们两个熬得过去,可我蒋永乐只是一个官职不上不下的右侍郎,一旦那藩王真要大打出手,不找我找谁？姓徐的到底横行到几时我不知道,我只知道老子极有可能要很快横着离开礼部衙门了！ Shanxi Orchid Pavilion took the lead to say goodbye to leave, Jiang Yongle started to speak but hesitated, old Shangshu has beckoned with the hand toward this vice-minister, points to the door. 晋兰亭率先告辞离开,蒋永乐欲言又止,老尚书已经朝这位右侍郎摆了摆手,下了逐客令。 Scared Jiang Yongle does not know how oneself leaves the room, is in a daze in the courtyard corridor. 失魂落魄的蒋永乐都不知道自己是怎么离开屋子的,在院子廊道发呆。 Different the cicada sound in summer whole city is grating. 不同于夏日满城的蝉声刺耳。 Enters after autumn, the cicada called did not hear vaguely gradually. 入秋后,蝉鸣依稀渐不闻。 The Zhao Family jar six yamen do not plant Takagi according to the law, late autumn at this moment, this courtyard does not hear a cicada cry. 赵家瓮六部衙门按律不植高木,此时此刻的深秋时分,这座院子早已不闻一声蝉鸣。 Jiang Yongle depends on the porch pillar dejected, without the reason feels twice as the cicada to be mournful. 蒋永乐颓然靠着廊柱,没来由倍觉寒蝉凄切。 - -- Although Ministry of Rites Ministry of War is a neighbor, being away from is not actually near, to the Ministry of Rites officials, is unfortunate lucky, otherwise had the dispute, the scholar meets the soldier, reasons things out to reason things out with the fist with the mouth, naturally is the latter „occupies principle”. But to Ministry of War, regarding this group of official rank heights is different, but is the Ministry of Rites official of sour writer, is one group to look that was sick hit did not reveal the ability the embroidering pillow, therefore soldier ritual two usually were two yamen that in the Shangshu province most did not touch on slightly. However under two are in inverse proportion, was used to be only glad to the Ministry of War big uneducated person who the board of personnel looked straight at to look at one another, unavoidably in the heart depressed Nanping, left three Shangshu in several years, Ministry of War was Gu Jiantang, Chen Zhibao and Lu Baijie, Ministry of Rites is Li Gubai, Lu Dowling and Yuan Guo, but the trend over the next several years, obviously, Ministry of War is emptying the position of Shangshu now, traded Ministry of Rites to give a try, if Sima Puhua one day died suddenly, that also wasn't the next day has the powerful official high-ranking court official in toward to be able on to present the candidate? Makes Ministry of War feel a fact that loses the spirit of enterprise, was vice-minister permits Gong even not in Capital City, your majesty expelled to go to eastern Liaoning to Emperor directly! Only is left over vice-minister Tang Tieshuang who raises from the place, is a day of official employed in the capital has not worked as foreign family, how can achieve success one way or another in packing staggered Capital City? In addition even the Capital City common people know that Tang Tieshuang is the trusted aide of Gu Shangshu direct descendant, but predecessor Shangshu Lu Baijie can not your majesty intention, say indiscriminately allocates, obvious relegates Guangling Circuit, even the official employed in the capital is released externally common being kicked upstairs is not. Ministry of War Yamen a group of people without a leader has been hard to be on the rise in the temple, the character who temporarily leads is also unable to defend oneself, where comes to seek the skills of some kindness benefits for the subordinate, the Guangling Circuit tactical situation aggravates the situation disadvantageously. 礼部兵部虽是邻居,隔着其实并不算近,对礼部官员而言,是不幸中的万幸,要不然起了纷争,秀才遇上兵,一个用嘴巴说理一个用拳头说理,自然是后者更“占理”。而对兵部来说,对于这帮官阶高低不同但都属于酸文人的礼部官员,属于一帮看着厌烦打了都不显能耐的绣花枕头,所以兵礼两部素来是尚书省内最不沾边的两座衙门。但是两部此消彼长之下,习惯了只乐意对吏部正眼相看的兵部大老粗,难免心中郁难平,同样是短短几年内走掉三位尚书,兵部是顾剑棠,陈芝豹和卢白颉,礼部是李古柏、卢道林和元虢,可未来几年的走势,显而易见,兵部如今连尚书之位都空着,换礼部试试看,若是司马朴华突然有一天死了,那还不是第二天就有权贵重臣在朝会上提出人选？更让兵部感到英雄气短的一个事实,是左侍郎许拱甚至都不在京城,直接给皇帝陛下撵去辽东了！只剩下一个从地方上调来的右侍郎唐铁霜,是个一天京官也没当过的外来户,如何能够在盘根交错的京城左右逢源？加上连京城老百姓都知道唐铁霜是顾老尚书的心腹嫡系,而前任尚书卢白颉又不得陛下的心意,说是平调,明摆着是贬谪去广陵道,连京官外放常见的明升暗降都算不上。兵部衙门群龙无首就已经难以在庙堂上抬头了,暂时领头的人物还自身难保,哪来为下属谋些恩惠福利的本事,广陵道战况不利更是火上浇油。 The Ministry of War officials were really one night became the grandson. 兵部官员真是一夜之间成了孙子。 This day, what real his mother is endures hardships. 这日子,真他娘的是遭罪啊。 Under this perilous situation, tall Tingshu and Kong Town Rong two swimming against the stream younger generations focus attention on extremely, youngster that these two reputations rise up, person who placed second in the imperial civil service examination youth Gaoting sets up loosely willful, is in itself the scholar who one armor comes, depended on Shanxi Orchid Pavilion and the others adding fuel to the flames, the poem name gradually spreads over the government and people high and low, previously Great Pillar of State Gu Jiantang returned to Capital, under coming Ministry of War Yamen to visit familiar place, is in the glare of the public eye, tall Tingshu at the scene that in front of Gu Lu two Shangshu talked and laughed merrily, making one come clearly into view until now. tall Tingshu making a rapid career advance, without a doubt, looks that which now needed several years of time to save the prestige, as well as by suppose the hall pavilion to go to the carp to jump Dragon Gate as the next stair newly. The scaled height of burst pavilion tree, quiet Kong Town Rong must be low-key, but youngster of this Beiliang family background was intimate with some imperial prince it is said long ago, even if cannot be regarded a hidden dragon, can still be a not to be underestimated young flood dragon, furthermore Kong Town Rong and Yan Chiji are the recognized iron hit the relations, but that palace gate court attendant Emperor your majesty wife's younger brother! 在这种危殆形势下,高亭树和孔镇戎两位逆流而上的晚辈就极为瞩目,这两个名声鹊起的年轻人,榜眼郎高亭树更为风流恣意,本身是一甲出身的读书人,靠着晋兰亭等人的推波助澜,诗名逐渐传遍朝野上下,先前大柱国顾剑棠返京,来兵部衙门旧地重游,众目睽睽之下,高亭树在顾卢先后两位尚书面前谈笑风生的场景,让人至今历历在目。高亭树的飞黄腾达,毋庸置疑,现在就看需要几年光阴积攒声望、以及会以哪个新设馆阁作为下一个台阶去鲤鱼跳龙门了。相比高亭树,沉默寡言的孔镇戎就要为人低调许多,只不过据说这个北凉出身的年轻人早年跟某位皇子亲近,即使算不得一条潜龙,也能是一条不容小觑的幼蛟了,再者孔镇戎和严池集是公认的铁打关系,那位黄门郎可是皇帝陛下的小舅子！ Different from other about five vice ministers in a room, the Ministry of War two vice ministers always with not locating one room, even is giving a thought to the hut time, attended to Shangshu oneself being no exception, when afterward Chen Zhibao became summer Guan of Shangshu province, warded off an alone institute. The two writing desks of permits Gongtang iron frost in the Ministry of War great hall one on the left and other on the right, assume the potential of thing confrontation. At that moment vice-minister Tang Tieshuang sat after that west side writing desk, is handling the government affairs, occasionally looked up a weather, did not haggle over in the hall talking in whispers of many officials. The reassignments of national capital western army three big battalion of 7000 troops, are Tang Tieshuang are then responsible for making a final decision personally, now young Regional Prince enters Capital City swaggering, Anxi General Zhao Gui and reckless ride Colonel Yuchi Changgong troops, degenerates into the funny character who escorts together, let alone Tang Tieshuang will be doomed rapidly to become the government laughingstock, the entire Ministry of War will also follow disgracefully, completely conceivable tomorrow early toward the unusual looks of various officials. 不同于其它五部左右侍郎不在一屋,兵部两位侍郎历来同处一室,甚至在顾庐时代,顾尚书自己都不例外,后来等到陈芝豹成为尚书省的夏官,才辟出一栋独院。许拱唐铁霜的两张书案在兵部大堂一左一右,呈东西对峙之势。当下右侍郎唐铁霜坐在那张西边书案后,正在处理政务,偶尔抬头看一眼天色,并不去计较堂中诸多官员的窃窃私语。京畿西军三大营七千人马的调动,便是唐铁霜亲自负责敲定的,现在年轻藩王大摇大摆入了京城,安西将军赵桂和胡骑校尉尉迟长恭的人马,一起沦为保驾护航的滑稽人物,别说唐铁霜注定会迅速成为官场笑柄,整座兵部也都跟着丢人现眼,完全可以想象明日早朝各部官员的异样眼神了。 As for the real situation of cool headstrong war, vice-minister Tang Tieshuang did not open the mouth, others do not dare to touch a mildew place to discuss absurdly, related to military aircraft important matter, in public, the little darling cultivated the silent Zen to be subtle. 至于凉莽战事的真实情况,右侍郎唐铁霜不开口,其他人就不敢触霉头地妄自议论,涉及军机要事,在公开场合,还是乖乖修炼闭口禅微妙。 In a military chooses under the honest officials Chancellor Si leadership, the Ministry of War great hall presents several strange faces, each one dragon Xiang is vigorous and mighty strides, even if visits Ministry of War heavily is also not ill. 在一名武选清吏司主事的带领下,兵部大堂出现几张陌生面孔,个个龙骧虎步,哪怕踏足兵部重地也毫无不适。 Has the Tang iron frost of grim yama nickname for the first time to show the smile, after setting out, moves toward that several people with stride, does not need that lower official to introduce, a fist pounds layer on layer/heavily in a chest of tall and strong man, laughs saying: „old Dong, your fellows, or comes one not to come, must come to collect one pile simply, made?” 有冷面阎王绰号的唐铁霜破天荒露出笑脸,起身后大步走向那几人,根本无需那名下官介绍,一拳重重砸在其中一名魁梧男子的胸膛,大笑道:“老董,你们这帮家伙,要不来就一个都不来,要来就干脆凑一堆,约好了的？” That several people have not worn the official's costume, curls the lip by the middle-aged man who the vice-minister called old Dong, „knows that you were the poor devil life, if looked for you, you could ask the liquor to drink?” 那几人没有身穿官服,被右侍郎称呼老董的中年男人撇了撇嘴,“知道你是穷鬼命,要是一个一个来找你,你请得起酒喝？” A Dong man side sturdy man plays to say with a smile: „Vice minister Sir, your Ministry of War Yamen may be really difficult, with against thief......” 董姓男子身边的一个粗壮汉子玩笑道:“侍郎大人,你们这兵部衙门可真难进啊,跟防贼似的……” Tang Tieshuang stared fellow one of the having a big mouth, immediately said with a smile: „Went out saying that leading you to stroll everywhere.” 唐铁霜瞪了口无遮拦的家伙一眼,随即笑道:“出去说,带你们四处逛逛。” Full room official zhang (3.33 m) two monks cannot feel the mind, had not heard that Ministry of War has the transfer order to in the army from two Liaoning promote into Capital is an officer. 满屋子官员都丈二和尚摸不着头脑,没听说兵部有调令要从两辽边军中提拔入京为官啊。 Emperor division gentry official Kong Town Rong does not work in the Ministry of War big main room, but looks for doctor of Chinese medicine report/give report military affairs exactly, after seeing this scene, is only some surprise, has not thought deeply, after waiting for vice minister Tang to bring the person leaves, goes out of the great hall. 车驾司员外郎孔镇戎不在兵部大堂屋内做事,只是恰好来找郎中禀报一份军务,看到这一幕后,仅是有些诧异,也未深思,等着唐侍郎带人离开后,才走出大堂。 Suddenly was stopped by calling, Kong Town Rong pauses to turn the head to look, just elected tall Tingshu who honest officials Chancellor Si was promoted to the gentry official from the military unexpectedly, two people did not have happening together, Kong Town Rong do not know that this also wanted the big contemporaries to have anything in the Capital City fame compared with many vice ministers, asked indifferently: „Does big person, have the matter?” 突然被人喊住,孔镇戎停步转头望去,竟是刚刚从武选清吏司主事升任员外郎的高亭树,两人从无交集,孔镇戎不知这个在京城名气比许多侍郎还要大的同龄人有什么事情,淡然问道:“高大人,有事？” Imposing tall Tingshu smiles saying: „Heard that Kong the brother likes to collect the book on military strategy, I took advantage of a mistake to one exactly a short time ago present edition of «Tiger Bell Passing through», said honestly, if gives up reluctantly to give to Kong the brother, but also really does not abandon, but Kong the brother takes studies at school temporarily one year or so, I am glad.” 气宇轩昂的高亭树微笑道:“听说孔兄喜好收集兵书,恰好前不久我无意间捡漏到一部奉版《虎钤经》,坦白说,若是忍痛割爱送给孔兄,还真不舍,但是孔兄取走借读个一年半载,我还是乐意之极的。” If just left Beiliang to enter Capital at that time, Kong Town Rong pounded without delay on a fist, if were 1-2 years ago, Kong Town Rong will not make this person who placed second in the imperial civil service examination youth say, will turn around immediately, but now, Kong Town Rong contour pavilion tree says calmly, shook the head to say with a smile: „I am a vulgar boorish fellow, but stayed in Capital City for a long time, heard among the scholars ‚borrowing books such as to deliver the wife, delivered the book such as to present as a gift the concubine, therefore the book

如果是刚离开北凉入京那个时候,孔镇戎二话不说就一拳头砸过去了,如果是1-2前,孔镇戎都不会让这位榜眼郎说完后就会立即转身,可现在,孔镇戎不动声色地等高亭树说完,摇头笑道:“我是个粗鄙莽夫,但在京城待久了,也听说过读书人之间‘借书如送妻,送书如赠妾,故而书送得,唯独借不得’的趣谈,怎么,高兄要打破常例？” tall Tingshu gawked, said with a smile frank:
