When it was time to go to court, Gao Xuan, the servant of the household department, deliberately slowed down his pace, just to wait for Qin Jue.

Two years ago, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Su woke up to take office, and Qin Jue succeeded Mr. Su as the top leader of the Ministry of Officials.

Last winter, Zhang Xiuzhang and Lao Shangshu in the Ministry of Household Affairs accidentally slipped and broke his leg when he was going to court.The position of Minister of the Ministry of household affairs was vacated.

Gao Xuan thought that the position of Shangshu was definitely his own, and he was so happy in his heart.Waiting for the emperor's decree to appoint at any time.Unexpectedly, this wait has been waiting from last year to this year.Seeing that more than half of this year has passed, and this position is still not available, Gao Xuan is in a hurry.

I just wanted to ask Qin Jue, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Uncle of the State, if I could get some tricks from him.Seeing Qin Jue coming out, he hurriedly took two steps behind and made a bow: "Master Qin, please stay a while?"

Qin Jue also returned the half-respect, and said politely, "Master Gao, what's the matter?" He could imagine with his toes what this old boy was planning.

To be honest, this person who has been in the household department for many years and works hard, although he has not made any great achievements, he has not made any mistakes, and his qualifications alone are enough.

But what is the status of the six ministers? In the previous dynasties, they were prime ministers.Those who can sit in this position must not only be able to work, but also be able to work.Vision, ability, and courage are all indispensable.

Especially the household department.The household department is in charge of Daxia's money bag, and the selection of the chief officer of the department is even more cautious. This one is really not good.

However, as an official in the same dynasty, even if he knew some results, he still had to have the face he deserved.

Gao Xuan cautiously said: "Since Mr. Zhang became an official, there has been no head of household for nearly a year. I wonder if Mr. Qin has heard about His Majesty's plan?"

Qin Jue said calmly, "Never!"

Gao Xuan obviously didn't believe it: "Master Qin, why bother to lie to me. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, uncle of the country, how come you have no news at all?"

Qin Jue said: "Lord Gao, be careful. Although Qin is the head of the official department, he doesn't dare to speculate on the king's heart, so please don't make things difficult!" It is impossible to entangle any more, so I can only say goodbye and leave sullenly.

The officials all shook their heads when they saw it from a distance, this Gao Xuan is really stupid.

Your Majesty would rather leave the position of Minister of the Household Department vacant for nearly a year, and not mention the successor at all, and anyone with a discerning eye can see for whom it is reserved.Only this Gao Xuan still couldn't understand, or he didn't give up.

O fool!

Jiang Wenyuan saw that his daughter was carrying a big wooden box all the way, and she always took it with her when she got in and out of the car, and put a meal in front of the box when she ate.

Although the daughter has her reasons for doing things.But when I stopped to rest at noon that day, I still couldn't hold back and asked, "Baby, what kind of living thing is in your box? Do you want me to hold it for you?"

Jiang Yuqing shook his head, stroked the box gently, and smiled sadly: "It's grave soil. I took it from the graves of heroes outside Yumen Pass.

Most of them have never been to the capital in their entire lives. I want to take them to see how prosperous the land they guard is. "

Jiang Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with red eyes: "It should be! After returning to Beijing, we will build another Hall of Valor next to the ancestral hall in the back garden, and enshrine them forever in it. They should not be forgotten."

"Daddy, thank you!"

Jiang Wenyuan touched his daughter's head, evoking a slightly bitter smile.

My daughter looks so happy and lively every day.He thought she had forgotten those pains, but it turned out that she had been immersed in that pain and never came out.

Some people and some things are destined to be engraved in the depths of her memory forever, never deliberately remembered, but never forgotten.

Jiang Wenyuan knew it, and everyone knew it too.

Afterwards, when eating and resting, everyone will reserve a seat for "them", put a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and add food.No one felt scared, and no one felt bad luck.

After a month and eleven days of turbulence, the convoy finally entered the capital on the evening of September [-]th.The moment he looked at the city gate, Jiang Yuqing gently patted the box beside him and smiled, "Partners, we have arrived in the capital!"

Jiang Yujiang and Jiang Yuchuan had been waiting at the city gate for a whole afternoon.At this time, seeing the convoy approaching from a distance, he couldn't help but get excited immediately.

Don't look at the logo, the Jiang family's motorcade has no logo either.It can be recognized at a glance that there is a deer and a tiger running side by side with Geinna's convoy.

These two peculiar animals are also talked about because of the legend of the owner's family.

Sitting in the second carriage, Jiang Yuqing saw his brothers from a distance.Seeing his brothers waving in this direction, he stuck his head out of the carriage and waved vigorously at them.

When the carriage came near, the family got out of the carriage.The second brother hurried forward to salute.

"My son has met his father and mother!" 15-year-old Jiang Yuchuan has grown into a handsome young man, slightly taller than his father.He is full of vigor and calmness as the son of a prince.

Jiang Wenyuan patted his son's hand in relief: "Good job! You did a good job!"

"Father and mother taught me well!" He patted his sister's little head again: "My baby has grown up and become more beautiful."

Jiang Yuqing enjoyed rubbing her brother's hand, flattering her: "My brother has also become handsome. And my brother also passed the Jieyuan exam. You are the best and most handsome brother in the world."

Jiang Yujiang on the side refused: "Oh, only your seventh brother is handsome, isn't the eldest brother handsome?" Jiang. Master Duan Shui. Yu Qing went online immediately: "Handsome, of course handsome. My brothers are all handsome, our family There is nothing ugly!"

Everyone laughed, boasting others can also boast themselves, I have seen it.

Jiang Wenyuan looked at his eldest nephew who hadn't seen him for six years, and was more handsome and calm, and he patted him on the shoulder happily: "In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big. That's good!"

Lu's was quite proud and said: "Which child in our family is not good? But, Yu Jiang, shouldn't it be time for you to start a family too?"

Facing the third aunt who urged her to get married as soon as they met, Jiang Yujiang was also very helpless, so he could only vaguely say: "If my nephew is interested, I will definitely tell my third aunt!"

Jiang Yuqing didn't want his elder brother to be embarrassed by his mother, so he stepped forward and took Jiang Yujiang's hand and said coquettishly: "Big brother, do you want to hug one?"

Jiang Yujiang let out a chuckle, and pampered her forehead: "No, you've grown up. You can't be hugged anymore. But it's okay to carry it on your back!" He turned his back and squatted down, just like when he was a child like that.

Jiang Yuqing was so happy that he trotted and jumped onto the back of his elder brother, the corners of his little mouth curled up high.Lu's mouth reprimanded her for being naughty, but she was happy in her heart. Even though they haven't seen each other for a few years, there is no stranger between siblings.That's great!

Everyone exchanged a few words at the gate of the city, and then rode into the city.If you have anything to say, wait until you get back home.

Compared with six years ago, the capital seems to be more prosperous.Although it was evening, there were not a few vendors selling stalls on the street.

Jiang Yujiang said that the curfew was lifted in Beijing two years ago.Therefore, even at night, the people in the capital can come out and move freely.After two years of development, it has now formed a large-scale night market.

The people in the capital gradually began to enjoy this convenient life.

The original Qingzhou Hou's Mansion has become the Duke's Mansion.The plaque on the door was also replaced by the emperor's own inscription: "Chiang Jiang Guogong's Mansion" six big characters with gold lacquer on the vermilion background.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the gate was wide open, and Butler Zhao led all the servants to stand on both sides to greet him.

Seeing Jiang Wenyuan and his wife getting out of the car, they knelt down to salute and say hello.

After six years, Jiang Wenyuan lived in this magnificent mansion again, and seeing everything that was once familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, Jiang Wenyuan couldn't help but feel emotional.

This time, it will probably last longer.

The family has prepared rich food and wine to welcome the masters.Jiang Wenyuan was grateful to the servants for guarding the house for them for so many years, so when they came back, he rewarded them with two months' money.The servants were all overjoyed.

The dinner table for the family banquet is ready. In addition to the four members of the Jiang family, there are also Jiang Yujiang and Qiu Miracle Doctor. Jiang Wenyuan asked for another chair and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

After people moved the chairs, Jiang Yuqing put the wooden box on the chairs, and when he put the bowls, chopsticks and wine cups, the two boys of Jiang's family suddenly understood.

When he looked at the simple wooden box again, there was only distress and respect in his eyes.

After dinner, Jiang Wenyuan called Steward Zhao and told him to invite the best craftsmen tomorrow to build another Hall of Valor next to the ancestral hall in the mansion. up a step.

After several days of exhaustion, everyone was a little tired.After eating, they briefly talked for a while, and then they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day, September [-]th, is the meeting of the Five Dynasties.This dynasty implements the court system of one court meeting every three days, and the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year are large court meetings.

Jiang Wenyuan got up before dawn, put on the prince's purple court clothes, and went to the gate of the palace early, waiting for the emperor's call.

Not too early after the court meeting started, he heard calls from inside: "Xuan Jiang Guogong, Jiang Wenyuan, to the palace!"

This was the first time Jiang Wenyuan had set foot on the Golden Luan Hall in his nine years as an official, but he did not feel cramped at all.With a calm atmosphere, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, with both elegance and fortitude, he bent down and knelt down to salute: "I, Jiang Wenyuan, see Your Majesty, long live long live!"

Emperor Xia Jing walked down from the throne himself and helped him up: "Ai Qing, you have worked hard all the way, please get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor was so attentive that the ministers stared at him for a while.But it's useless to be hot-eyed, who made you have no one like Jiang Wenyuan.

Afterwards, the emperor asked about Suzhou in detail, and Jiang Wenyuan answered them one by one.

The emperor was very satisfied and asked, "What is Aiqing's future plan?"

Jiang Wenyuan said: "But listen to Your Majesty!"

The emperor said: "Since Mr. Zhang of the Household Department became an official, the post of Minister of the Household Department has been vacant. Even so, Aiqing will bear this burden for me!" After the words fell, all the ministers looked like that .

Jiang Wenyuan knelt down and kowtowed again: "Minister, Jiang Wenyuan thanked the Lord for his kindness, and he must fulfill his responsibilities and live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

After coming down to court, several officials who had been friends with him on weekdays just patted Gao Xuan on the shoulder, said: "Look away!" and left, only Gao Xuan was left in place, mouth full of bitterness.

It's not that he doesn't know that His Majesty prefers Jiang Wenyuan, but that position has never fallen, so he always has such a three-point unwillingness to be two-point fluke in his heart.

Now that the dust has finally settled, he can also extinguish that delusion.From the bottom of his heart, he would not be convinced if anyone else took the position of Shangshu.

Only Jiang Wenyuan, even he couldn't say anything bad.Don't you see, the current national treasury of Daxia is so abundant, and this Duke directly or indirectly contributed most of the credit.

Forget it, if the Ministry of Household Affairs can come to such a talented person as the chief official, his life will be much easier in the future.After figuring this out, the gloom in Gao Xuan's heart dissipated a lot, and he strode out of the palace.
