Chapter 743 Entering Xiyuan
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun shifted to the west, but the sunshine outside was still bright, and it did not seem to be late at all. However, Zhu Ping'an had already left work from Taicang early.
"Leaving so early? Haha, I guess I can't hold on anymore and I have to go home to rest."
"I see, Zhu Pingan will sign if he persists for one day at most. With the seal, the inspection is over."
Zhao Langzhong. After people sent Zhu Pingan out of Taicang, they laughed and joked. In their opinion, Zhu Pingan couldn't bear it, so he went home early to rest. If this continues, it is estimated that Zhu Pingan can persist in pretending for only one day at most. I will sign and seal the inspection of Taicang Bank.
This makes it clear.
So, Taicang’s late-night canteen became fun again.
After leaving Taicang, Zhu Pingan, Liu Mu, and Liu Dadao rode back. After arriving in Xicheng, Zhu Pingan first went to Qintian Prison.
Qintianjian was the central government agency of the Ming Dynasty. Like the Six Ministries, it had its own independent office. It was also located very close to the Six Ministries, just east of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, behind the Ministry of Rites, and south of Honglu Temple. , north of Tai Hospital.
Unlike the general yamen that open to the south, the gate of Qintian Prison opens to the west, which is probably a matter of Feng Shui.
Signing in when entering is a common rule for all yamen, and Qintian Prison is no exception.
When signing his name, Zhu Pingan glanced at the entire sign-in page without leaving a trace. There were not many foreign government officials who came to the Qintian Supervisory Office. There were only three or four people in a day, and they signed on one sign-in page. It took three days for the visiting officials to arrive.
After reading this sign-in page, you will know which officials have come to Qintian Prison in the past three days.
There was a familiar name in the sign-in book on this page, which immediately attracted Zhu Pingan's attention.
"Taicang Jia Xu".
Jia Langzhong's sign in immediately caught Zhu Ping'an's eyes. Judging from the time, he was the last one to sign in yesterday.
The purpose of Jia Langzhong coming to Taicang can be guessed without even thinking. It is nothing more than the idea of changing Kumen on a good day.
Zhu Ping'an knew what was going on and there was no wave on his face.
After signing in, Zhu Pingan put the brush on the pen holder, smiled and exchanged greetings with the gatekeeper, and then entered the gate of Qintian Prison.
The internal layout of the Qintian Prison is similar to that of the Liubu Yamen. The main entrance is also three-bay. A plaque of "Qintian Prison" hangs in the center of the main entrance. Inside the gate is a photo wall, and then a large courtyard with an observation deck and a mudroom. The rooftop, etc., also has Taoist-colored furnishings. Further inside is the second door, also known as Yimen.
Entering the Yimen is the main hall of the Qintian Prison. This is where the officials of the Qintian Prison conduct official business. Zhu Ping'an, the deputy supervisor of the Qintian Prison, was also received here.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord... Zhuangyuan Lang is here to replace the door of the Taikoo, right?"
The deputy supervisor of Qintian Prison is a Taoist priest with a fat head and big ears. His surname is Zhang and his name is Siming. He is wearing a gray and white Bagua Taoist robe, but he feels like a Buddhist Maitreya. He is smiling all the time, but wearing a Taoist robe is a bit nondescript. When he shouts a Taoist number, he can make people laugh every minute. Just make a play.
"Master Zhang understood everything clearly and hit the nail on the head. He immediately guessed Ping An's intention." Zhu Ping'an complimented.
“I don’t dare to take it, I don’t dare to take it as the No. 1 Scholar, who is responsible for inspecting Taicang. Qian’er just came to Qintian Prison to ask for a good and auspicious day to change the Treasury door. Naturally, I came here today for this matter.” Zhang Siming He smiled and shook his head.
"I dare to ask Mr. Zhang, is the auspicious date for the replacement of Kumen determined?" Zhu Ping'an asked.
"It has been decided, there are two days for the No. 1 Scholar to choose from." Zhang Siming nodded and smiled.
"I wonder which days they are?" Zhu Ping'an was interested and leaned forward to ask.
"Zhengding, two Kun are in the middle, three Ren and four Xin are the same. Five stems and six armor are in the upper part, seven gui and eight gen are in the middle. Nine Bing and ten are Yi, Zi Xun Chou is Geng. The sixth month is Jia, the seventh month is Gui, Tian De Jia takes Ji, Tian De Gui takes Wu. Taicang is a metal, and the earth is metal, and metal is water. Therefore, this is a good day. Three days later, it will be the 20th of June, and the other one will be the 18th of the next month. The stars will be shining brightly on these two days, which are both auspicious days for the construction of the gate. "
Zhang Siming stretched out his hand. After pinching a few magic seals, he muttered something in his mouth, and slowly told the auspicious day for replacing the door of Taicang's silver warehouse.
It is said that there are two auspicious days for him to choose, but Zhu Ping'an knows in his heart that there is only one, and that is June 20th three days later.
As for the eighteenth day of next month, there is still one month from today. It takes too long. By the time the day lilies bloom on the eighteenth day of next month. The inspection lasted for a month, not only affecting the Taicang office, but Emperor Jiajing did not have the patience.
“When I went up today, I got a reply from the Ministry of Industry, saying that the fine iron warehouse door will be cast one day, and these two auspicious days will not be affected. Whichever one the champion thinks is suitable? I will issue a document to decide which one." Zhang Siming was not in a hurry, the old god was watching Zhu Pingan, waiting for Zhu Pingan to choose a date.
Zhu Pingan knew that Jia Langzhong must have contributed to this auspicious day. They definitely hope that the door will be replaced as soon as possible, and they will be relieved as soon as the inspection is completed.
Those with a guilty conscience are worried about having too many dreams during the long nights.
"Then let's set it in three days."
But it doesn't matter, three days is enough, Zhu Pingan said softly, his dark eyes shining with confidence and determination.
"Okay, let's set it three days later. I'll have someone issue the document right now. After printing it tomorrow, it will be sent to the six departments, Taicang and other government agencies."
Zhu Ping'an's choice is As expected by Zhang Siming, after hearing Zhu Ping'an say the selected date, the smile on Zhang Siming's face became even stronger. He was entrusted by others and had to do his own thing. In this way, he finally lived up to his trust. .
"This will make you tired, Mr. Zhang." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked him.
After the date for replacing the Kumen was determined, Zhu Ping'an said goodbye and left Qintian Prison, heading towards Xiyuan.
After entering Xiyuan, Zhu Pingan went straight to Wuyiyi. It seemed that Wuyiyi was very busy today. Almost all the officials in the department were writing at their desks. They were very serious, meticulous, and quite irritating. With his posture, even when Zhu Ping'an entered Wu Yiyi, almost no one noticed.
After entering his room, he found that Li Chunfang was not there. He consulted the officials who were with him and learned that Li Chunfang and several other officials who were good at Qingci and parallel prose were all following Yan Shoufu and Mr. Xu Ge. We were called to Tongshou Palace to work on creation together. We went there in the morning and haven't come back yet.
Official Si Zhi obviously paid more attention to his subordinate's article than Zhu Ping'an. After saying a few words, he lowered his head and started writing the article wholeheartedly.
Obviously other officials of Wu Yishen are also engaged in creation.
Another Zhai Jiao Qing Ci? Under the leadership of Yan Shoufu, Qing Ci has become the top priority of Wu Yishen's work...
Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, sat down and wrote a request to see Emperor Jiajing. The book was prepared to be sent to the Longevity Palace by the chamberlain to ask for an audience with Emperor Jiajing. (End of this chapter)
