To The Land of Nevernight

When he was getting the title on the gold list and riding his horse through the streets, Tang Shen once thought that the official he wanted to be the most was an official of the Ministry of Industry.

Since then, he has entered the official career and has been in many official positions for six years.When he was promoted to the right deputy censor of Yinyin Division, he even said to Tang Juan: "I want to be an official of the Ministry of Industry the most." But Tang Shen was just talking, he never thought that he could really go to the Ministry of Industry.

Who would have thought that the world is unpredictable, and now he has gone to the Ministry of Industry.

At the age of 22, he became an official of the third grade, which was not the only thing in the reign of the emperor in this dynasty. Wang Qin was appointed as the Minister of the Household Department at the age of 23, which is even more terrifying than Tang Shen.

The position of right servant of the Ministry of Industry is quite interesting. Tang Shen's previous position was none other than Su Wenyun who had just been promoted.He became the right servant of the Ministry of Industry when he was 24 years old.During Su Wenyun's tenure, because he also served as an errand for the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he mainly listened to the emperor's dispatch and did not go to the Ministry of Industry many times.

Now that Tang Shen was replaced, the first thing he did was to move back to Qinzheng Hall.

Most of the Palace of Qinzheng is still the same as before.

Tang Shen has been away for two years, and there is not much change.Among the four ministers, only Xu Wei changed from the right minister to the left minister, and Geng Shaoyun, the former minister of the Ministry of punishment, became the right minister.When Tang Shen returned to Qinzheng Hall, many colleagues were very moved and congratulated him one after another.But one day, the Youshilang's mansion was filled with presents.

This dynasty does not prohibit courtesy exchanges among officials, as long as they are not out of line, they will not be targeted by Yushitai.

The spring of the 33rd year of Kaiping was spent in such a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.

In summer, when the Yellow River was flooded, the fourth prince, Zhao Jing, sent a letter to Beijing, requesting the imperial court to send people to relieve the disaster and save the people.Tang Shen took the post of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry for half a year, and finally took over his first errand.Zhao Fu ordered him to take people to Jizhou to deal with the flood.On the other side, the household department and the military department jointly rescued the victims.

Tang Shen then set off for Jizhou.

When Don Juan learned that her brother was going to control the flood, she was very surprised: "Brother, I don't even know when you will be able to control the flood?"

Tang Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know when I will."

"what?"

"What do you think the officials of the Ministry of Industry do?"

Don Juan didn't know why.

Tang Shen said with a smile: "Although I only know a little about flood control, I am the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, not a craftsman of the Ministry of Industry. On the chessboard, when have you ever seen the commander go to the front and leave the soldiers behind?"

This is a senior official, and this is a powerful minister.

Tang Shen was an engineering student in his previous life, but that doesn't mean he can manage floods.His understanding of floods is limited to the news broadcasts every summer, and how to deal with floods is mostly just a few words. Blocking is worse than dredging, and a good drainage system is established.But these things are too difficult for ancient times. Fortunately, the population in ancient times was small. As long as you leave the place where floods occur all the year round, the disaster situation may not be as good as that of later generations.

In July, Tang Shen took people to Jizhou and did not return until September.

When he came back, Wang Qin looked at him for a long time, and hugged him in his arms distressedly: "It's thinner, and it's darker."

Tang Shen laughed, pushed him away, and said, "Do you know who I met in Jizhou?"

"Who?"

"gentlemen."

Wang Qin showed a surprised expression.

Tang Shen held back for so long just to see Wang Zifeng's astonished appearance.Now he is satisfied, and said truthfully: "Mr. has traveled in the south for a year, seeing all the mountains, rivers and rivers. Because of his age, although there are still many places that he has never set foot in, he can't go one by one. He can only go back to Chang He happened to be near Jizhou, and when he heard that I was in Jizhou, he came to Jizhou to meet me, and beside him were two boys, Wen Shu and Fuqin."

Wang Qin hugged him into his arms calmly: "Playing the piano? Am I not playing the piano?"

Tang Shen: "When you play the piano, do you have a good book?"

Fu Wei's two close boys, Wen Shuboy is good at playing the piano, and the Fuqin boy is good at reading, this is an interesting fact that everyone knows.

Wang Qin smiled and said, "Little brother, do you want to hear me play a piece?" After speaking, Wang Qin pulled him to the study, "What piece do you want to listen to? "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" or "Long Lovesickness"?"

Tang Shen laughed and said, "I know how to play chess and play the piano all day long, so you might have something interesting to say!"

Wang Qin showed a disappointed expression, he sighed and said: "Sure enough, you think I am boring. Yes, I have been studying since I was a child, and only learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I have never seen so many interesting things like you. .I heard that you once sold a kind of fruit juice, which was sweet and sour, but I couldn't even think of it."

Tang Shen was shocked: "Where did you hear that?"

Wang Qin blinked at him, but didn't speak.

Tang Shen couldn't let him go, he threatened and lured him, and even used beauty tricks. In the end, Wang Qin was beaten by him, and he pressed his face into his chest, and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, it's not dark yet. , do you really want to prostitute yourself in the daytime?"

Tang Shen immediately behaved: "Then tell me, where did you know that?"

Wang Qin sighed in his heart that he had been determined by this person in his arms for the rest of his life, but his face was full of smiles, he said: "I heard it from your servant Yao San."

Tang Shen opened his eyes wide.

Wait, how did Wang Zifeng and Yao San get involved? !

Before Tang Shen could react, Wang Qin pressed his lips to his neck, kissed him lightly, and said pitifully, "When I heard what he said, I just felt how boring and boring my life is. Look at me, no Knowing how to wash clothes and sweep steps, and not knowing how to wash hands to make soup, I, Wang Zifeng, lived for more than thirty years, looking back now, it was a life of mediocrity!"

Tang Shen always felt that something was wrong, your prince Feng is mediocre, it's okay to be scolded for saying this.

Wang Qin continued: "So look, don't say that I have seen all the mountains and tasted all the herbs, I don't even know what fruit juice is."

Tang Shen understood now: "So, you want to drink fruit juice?"

Wang Qin opened his eyes wide in surprise, and said in surprise, "Jing Ze, do you want to make fruit juice for me?"

"...Wait, I didn't say that."

"I couldn't be happier!"

Tang Shen: "..."

Fruit juice is actually not very delicious. The production conditions in ancient times, coupled with Tang Shen's half-knowledge of brewing fruit vinegar, sold well in Tangjia Village at the beginning because the villagers had never drank good things.Wang Qin has never tasted any kind of rare wine since he was a child, but after taking a sip of the fruit juice, he sighed: "Sweet and refreshing, with endless aftertaste, and the fragrance will linger on your teeth and cheeks after drinking it."

Tang Shen was surprised, he took a sip: "As powerful as you said?"

Wang Qin kissed him on the forehead and said, "Because you did it, for me."

After returning to Beijing this time, Tang Shen stayed at Shangshu Mansion for eight out of ten days.Wang Zifeng is so good at coaxing people, Tang Shen was so fascinated by him that he started to doubt himself one time: what kind of luck did I have to get Wang Zifeng's favor?

I almost felt that I was not good enough for Wang Zifeng.

After Wang Qin learned of this, he regretted it.

"In everything, it's too much to go too far," Wang Zifeng wrote the words "Xu Xu Tu Ye" with a pen, and sighed, "When will he be more active...well, at a certain time and place?"

Wang Qin ordered someone to find a craftsman to make these four characters into a plaque, hang it in the study, and remind himself every day.

Tang Shen's career as an official has been smooth, and his relationship has been wonderful, which can be described as a double harvest in his relationship and career.

However, in the 33rd year of Kaiping, October [-]th.The emperor's birthday has only passed a few days. This morning, when Wang Qin and Tang Shen were wearing court uniforms, Wang Qin straightened Tang Shen's skirts and said casually: "A few days ago, Li Jingde sent a military report from Youzhou. It is said that there was a small battle between the Song and Liao armies, in which he said a word."

Suddenly mentioning Li Jingde and Youzhou Military News, Tang Shen was quite surprised: "What are you talking about?"

"I saw chaotic flames shining in the sky, and the Liao soldiers kept shooting down with arrows. Do you know how the Song army broke through the siege?"

"how?"

"The only way is to go forward without hesitation, and there is nothing but the eyes."

Tang Shen knew as early as he heard the first sentence that this was absolutely impossible to be a military newspaper written by Li Jingde.Wang Qin had some ulterior motives in saying this, he grabbed the other person's hand, raised his head and asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Wang Qin looked down at him, if it was in the past few years, he might have said to Tang Shen again, "Don't ask, don't ask, it has nothing to do with you".But now he thinks of the picture hanging in his study, and also thinks of some words that Wang Quan once said to himself, and what he said to Wang Quan.

What he liked was never a protected Tang Jingze.

Wang Qin hugged him into his arms, and whispered three words: "Yinyinsi."

Tang Shen's eyes widened.

"Jing Ze, this time, really don't act rashly."

Tang Shen knew it in his heart, but his anxiety was like wildfire, spreading across the wilderness, instantly igniting a mountain of fire.

By morning, everything was calm.

Tang Shen was standing in the queue of third-rank civil servants, he raised his head, and saw Wang Qin standing in the forefront from a distance, standing beside Wang Quan.It seemed that nothing happened, and there was nothing that required them to move forward as Wang Qin said in the morning.However, just as he was about to go down to court, Zhao Fu raised his hand and ordered Ji Fu to read out an imperial edict.

Ji Fu's shrill and high-pitched voice resounded in the hall.

"...Since the next year, I think it's not easy for the people. The Bank of the Ministry of War has achieved very good results. I hope the world will be prosperous, and I will work with the people..."

"Abolish the Yinqizhuang of the Ministry of War in the 36 states, and change it to the Yinqizhuang of the Great Song Dynasty."

"...I use the Yinqi Village of the Great Song Dynasty as an envoy for the people and for the convenience of the world."

After the imperial decree was read out, Ji Fu held both sides of the imperial decree tightly with both hands, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.

In the Zichen Palace, there was also a dead silence.

Tang Shen's body tensed up, and he didn't dare to take a breath.No one knew how long it had passed before they heard a faint sound of footsteps, and everyone raised their heads. From a distance, Tang Shen saw that tall and thin figure taking a step forward and standing in front of the officials.His posture is like a green hill, with arrogance and strength of his own, standing straight.

Wang Zifeng held up the jade wat, and said in a clear and gentle voice, "Your servant is in command."

Youzhou, Shengjing Yinyinsi and all Yinqizhuang of the Ministry of War in the world are under the management of Wang Qin, so it is only natural for him to come out to accept the order.

At this time, Yu Chaosheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who was in charge of Jiangnan Yinyin Division, was left.

I saw Yu Chaosheng standing where he was, with a look of astonishment on his face, and he didn't move for a long time.The next moment, a figure stepped out from Wang Qin's left side.Left Prime Minister Xu Ai also held up the jade wat, his face was calm, the ancient well was calm, and he said in a calm voice: "I think this is impossible."
