"There is always a step in the selection or recommendation of officials, how can it be so casually finalized."

After Bao Zheng retorted, he was about to beg the emperor for his approval when Pang Ji spoke first.

"If you can contribute to the stability of Bianjing, it's nothing for my son to suffer some grievances. Mr. Bao has always been very discerning in selecting and employing people. What a blessing it is for my son to be appreciated and recommended by Mr. Bao, who is strict in requirements." At present, Mr. Bao has recommended Pang Yuanying, the minister seconded, please make a decision."

Pang Ji saluted Zhao Zhen.

It's so good to turn black and white, when did his praise turn into a recommendation.

Bao Zheng wanted to refute——

"Okay!" A gleam flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and he readily agreed, "Since it's recommended by the two lovers, I can't go wrong. Someone here will draw up an order."

Zhao Zhen then asked the two of them which position Pang Yuanying thought was more suitable.

Now that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Bao Zheng wanted to arrange an eighth-rank idle job for Pang Yuanying.

Pang Ji insisted that Pang Yuanying should be the governor of Kaifeng.

"The position of Shaoyin is second only to Fu Yin. Even though Pang Yuanying is young and talented, he is only 19 years old, so it is difficult to take on an important role." Bao Zheng firmly refused.

"Since you are a young talent, why should you stick to your age? Since the Song Dynasty, there has been a precedent for child prodigies to enter the examination and be appointed as an official." Pang Ji argued persistently.

……

After half an hour.

Zhao Zhen rubbed his temples, and reached out several times to signal the two not to argue, but no one saw him.

"That's enough, Shao Yin. Give him three months, and if he doesn't do anything, he will be dismissed. After discussing this matter, everyone will step down!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he got up and left, looking quite angry.

Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang glanced at each other, both wanting to find out the reason for the emperor's sudden anger from each other's eyes.In the end, both of them found that the other was as ignorant as themselves, so they turned around in disgust and walked out of the hall at the same time.

An hour later, Grand Master's Mansion.

Pang Yuanying received the imperial decree to appoint an official, and also got his emperor's secret reply.Zhao Zhen told him that Pang Ji and Bao Zheng had been arguing for half an hour in the palace about his appointment as an official, and he was almost dizzy hearing it, but it happened to be the right time, so he could give him an official appointment.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen still remembered the promise he made four months ago.

Four months ago, when Empress Dowager Liu had just passed away, the Baxian King informed Zhao Zhen that her biological mother was actually the late Concubine Li Chen.Afterwards, Zhao Zhen had nightmares and insomnia every day, and for five consecutive days, he became depressed and fell ill on the couch.Everyone thought that the emperor was caused by excessive grief.As one of the emperor's companions, Pang Yuanying is of course obliged to visit the emperor with other companions.

After Pang Yuanying met Zhao Zhen, he found that Zhao Zhen was always looking in the direction of the window and door in fear, his face was not sad and regretful, but fearful.

The queen mother just died, Zhao Zhen is already in charge, he is already the boss of the Song Dynasty, and the things that can scare him are probably ghosts.Pang Yuanying quietly asked to see again when others were not paying attention, and asked Zhao Zhen if he saw any dirty things.

Since Zhao Zhen knew that Concubine Li Chen was his biological mother, he could hear Concubine Li Chen's call every night when he fell asleep, and saw a black shadow standing in front of the window.Out of the dignity of the emperor, Zhao Zhen has always been brave and insisted not to say that he is afraid of ghosts.

Now, after holding back for several days, someone finally asked about it, and Zhao Zhen vomited to Pang Yuanying like the flood that opened the gate.

Pang Yuanyingwen immediately said that he could stay and help catch ghosts.After staying with Zhao Zhen for one night, Pang Yuanying asked people to cut down the trees around the dormitory the next day, and removed a bird's nest under the tiles of the dormitory. The window sash can be fixed when it is opened, and there will be no swaying sound due to the wind.

Pang Yuanying also took two statues of Guan Gong and put them in front of Zhao Zhen's bed, hung a portrait of Guan Gong on the main wall of the dormitory, and pasted two large and door gods outside the door.He told Zhao Zhen the story of Li Shimin very seriously. After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin also suffered from insomnia and saw ghosts. In the end, he hung up the door god and Guan Gong as ghosts, and the problem was solved.

Who is Li Shimin, a generation of Mingjun, many emperors follow him as an example, and so does Zhao Zhen.As soon as Zhao Zhen heard that his insomnia experience was similar to Li Shimin's, he had a psychological hint that he might be a Mingjun like Li Shimin.

After being psychologically stable, Zhao Zhen naturally stopped thinking about it when he was sleeping at night without any noise around him, and the disease gradually recovered.

Before Pang Yuanying retires, Zhao Zhen will be appointed as an official to reward Pang Yuanying.However, Zhao Zhen felt that the matter of the ghost of his biological mother was not pleasant, and it was not easy to spread it, so he promised Pang Yuanying that he would be appointed an official if he had the opportunity in the future.

Pang Yuanying didn't feel that she had done anything, nor did she feel that Zhao Zhen was serious, so she forgot after listening to the polite words.Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen really did it, the emperor was indeed the emperor.

Since it was God's will to let him enter Kaifeng Mansion again, he will not be polite this time.

Pang Yuanying smiled as he walked back, he was going to be proud.

"Cousin!" Pang Yuanqing shouted loudly, pacing warmly from a distance, he smiled and bowed to Pang Yuanying, wishing him the honor of being promoted to the young governor of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Actually, I'm still confused." Pang Yuanying said politely.

Pang Yuanqing couldn't help but envy flashed in his eyes, "Uncle must have recommended you in front of the Holy One. Cousin is very lucky, but don't let uncle live up to your expectations. His old man has been looking forward to your success."

"Yes, I'll work hard." Pang Yuanying smiled, "By the way, I heard from my father that you wrote scriptures ten feet high to honor your grandmother, that's amazing!"

Pang Yuanqing lowered his eyes, "Usually, when I have nothing to do after reading, I would copy Buddhist scriptures and meditate. Since my parents passed away, my grandmother has taken care of me in every possible way. Apart from doing these things, I have nothing to show my filial piety. Cousin Don't make fun of me."

"Where, I think you are really good, and I admire you for writing so much. I like you!" Pang Yuanying patted Pang Yuanqing on the shoulder, "Then I will go to work first. If you want to play someday, you can find me and read books. Forget it hahaha..."

Pang Yuanqing nodded, and watched Pang Yuanying's figure disappear completely with a smile in his eyes, and Fang left with the servant.

After Pang Ji returned to the mansion, he wanted to call Pang Yuanying to come and give instructions.Unexpectedly, the servants told him that Pang Yuanying had already prepared many things and went to Kaifeng Mansion.If you ask more carefully, it turns out that there are some incense tables, bells, rulers and so on.

Grand Master Pang raised the corners of his mouth, and twitched his beard with rare pleasure.

Very good, he doesn't need to ask him at all, as long as his bastard son performs as usual, it will be enough for those people in Kaifeng Mansion to eat.

Kaifeng Mansion, the back door.

Two luxury carriages came galloping and stopped here suddenly.

Pang Yuanying jumped out of the car and went to knock on the door herself.

The person who opened the door was a little official with dirty clothes, and horse stuff still stuck to his shoulders.Seeing that Pang Yuanying was well dressed, he carefully asked who he was.

Pang Yuanying raised the imperial decree in his hand, "I came to Kaifeng Mansion to take office by decree."

"My lord," the petty official immediately knelt down and saluted in fright, marveling in his heart that this boy was appointed an official by the imperial decree at such a young age, "but... this is the back door of Kaifeng Mansion."

Not to mention new officials taking office, even ordinary officials should go to the front door when they are on duty and put on duty.

"It doesn't matter, I like to go through the back door." After Pang Yuanying said, he asked the little official to open the door and let his two carriages enter Kaifeng Mansion.

Immediately someone went to report Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao and others.

Bao Zheng had just finished talking about the situation with Zhan Zhao and the others when he heard that someone was coming, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so fast."

"My lord, how should the subordinates treat him?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"As usual, don't bully him just because of his identity," Bao Zheng said.

Zhan Zhao twitched his lips when he heard this, Master Bao was really kind and kind, and he was afraid that it was Pang Yuanying who bullied everyone.

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, and immediately figured out the meaning of his lord's words.The special emphasis on "his identity" shows that the adults are actually a little dissatisfied with him entering Kaifeng Mansion as an official based on his identity.

"Go down and have a look!"

Zhan Zhao immediately strode out of the study and headed straight for the main entrance.

Later, when he heard that the person was at the back door, Zhan Zhao was speechless for a while, and turned to the back door, but there was no one there.

"Where did the person go?"

"I just asked where the mortuary is," the official said honestly, "I went to the morgue with a dozen people carrying incense cases and other things."

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao quickly ran to the morgue.

The corpse room in Kaifeng Mansion is relatively close to the back door. It is a single large courtyard surrounded by trees, almost forming a natural green screen, which probably means to cover up the darkness.

Pang Yuanying arranged for his subordinates to set up an incense table in the center of the courtyard, and ordered them to set up eight Dharma flags on both sides, and set up Dharma mirrors to point in the direction of the mortuary.Another red-glazed jar was prepared, and many yellow symbols were densely stained on the outside of the jar.Pang Yuanying opened the mouth of the can and deliberately placed the can in front of the mirror.He put on the robe of catching ghosts, with a string of polished sandalwood Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, a mahogany sword in his left hand, and a Faling in his right. He was wearing the yellow cloth bag he usually carried on his back, which was still very bulging.

Pang Yuanying shook the decree in his hand and rushed into the mortuary room, while Qingfeng picked up the soul-receiving jar with the amulet on it and followed behind.

Zhan Zhao immediately flew to the door and blocked Pang Yuanying in time.

"What?" Zhan Zhao asked with a frown.

"Take office, get out of the way." Pang Yuanying ordered Zhan Zhao in a commanding tone, but he was not as cowardly as before.

Holding the knife in his arms, Zhan Zhao looked at Pang Yuanying, who suddenly became aggressive, amusedly, as if he was looking at a brand new person.

"Don't let me, what?"

Pang Yuanying pursed her lips and asked Zhan Zhao to take a good look at the imperial decree held in his entourage's hands, "I am now the Shaoyin of the Kaifeng Mansion, and my status is second only to your Lord Bao, so all of you in the Kaifeng Mansion, except Lord Bao, should obey me obediently, Including you. Get out of the way, I want to check the situation of the mortuary by order."

Pang Yuanying rang the bell next to Zhan Zhao's ear as he spoke.
