Chapter 175: Since they want to play, let’s play a big one
Tang Cheng, who had been living a leisurely and comfortable life, suddenly became depressed. The reason was that he had planned a long-term banquet for Xuezheng, Xuezheng, Taoist Jinshi, and Mingjing scholars were suddenly swept away.
Originally, as Daya Zhizhengyuan became more and more famous during this period, his own poetry became more and more famous. Tang Cheng, who also possessed the status of a Taoist student, was already very famous when handling this matter. After all, whether it is Xuezheng or Xuezheng, they have never been to Daya Zhizhengyuan. They are also quite interested in seeing this garden that has been stirring up a trend recently, and listening to the release of new poems under the music of the national player Pipa. This is true for Xuezheng and Xuezheng, let alone those students of the Jinshi and Mingjing subjects.
This banquet was long before Tang Cheng's plan, and because it was mixed with the matter of applying for a place in the Taoist quota for Meng Haoran, he paid great attention to it. Unexpectedly, when things were going well, he suddenly rushed. Therefore, Tang Cheng's depression can be imagined, and what made him even more depressed was that the reason why this arrangement was stormed was because of a large-scale literary meeting organized by He Zhongda and others.
He Zhongda, the time for this literary meeting was set on the day when Tang Cheng was preparing to invite Xue Zheng and others. As for the location, it was the Du family garden, which was separated from Daya Zhizheng Garden on the side by a wall. What's even more amazing is that this literary meeting was a rare time for his regular release of new poems in Daya Zhizheng Garden.
From the time of the conference to the choice of the venue, to the time when the conference begins, no matter Tang Cheng, even a fool, it can be seen that this is from Daya Zhizhengyuan, and it is a point-of-mouth that he is not allowed to give in.
When Tang Cheng heard the news from the Wenhui in the yamen and knew that the banquet he had planned for a long time had been swept up, he was as if he was forced to hold it back in one breath. He was so uncomfortable all over his body.
Tang Cheng, who had been holding it in his arms for a while after the case, said: "If you want to fight, then fight."
Just as Tang Cheng was planning how to fight back this literary meeting, a sergeant hurriedly walked in outside his office, saying that the Lord wanted to summon him.
It is time for Fangzhou official road to be built to be important. Yu Dongjun has been very busy these days, so how could he meet himself at this critical moment?
In this way, Tang Cheng could only temporarily put the matter that he was thinking aside. He stood up and followed the servants to the Yu Dongjun office. On the way, he thought about it, but he could not grasp why Yu Dongjun suddenly wanted to see him.
When I arrived outside Yu Dongjun's office, the servant went in for a while and came out to tell Tang Chengqiexian to wait. The observation inside made the adults talk to people.
After waiting for about half of the incense stick, five people came out when the door of the Dongjun official room opened. Four of these five were the officials of the Ministry of Works who were dug to Jinzhou to build roads.
"Go in," and nodded with the Ministry of Works officials with a smile and nodded. Tang Cheng, who was gently pushed by the servant, went straight into the office.
It is the hottest time of the year. Although there are two ice basins in Yu Dongjun's office room, perhaps because of the large number of people just now, the room still seems a little hot at this time. The massive amount of information and mountain and geographic maps placed on Yu Dongjun's desk visually adds a sense of heat.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
"Ah, Tang Cheng is here." Because he was too focused on the information in front of him, Yu Dongjun did not notice that someone had entered the office room again. After hearing this, he said without raising his head, "Sit down."
Tang Cheng found a bench and sat down. After waiting for a while, Yu Dongjun, who had finished reading the last bit of information, raised his head. He was very busy and didn't even say a word of greeting and said straight: "Tang Cheng, the head of the Ministry of Works intends to transfer you over. What do you think about this?"
The Ministry of Works has four departments under its jurisdiction. The so-called main department refers to the Ministry of Works with the greatest power. Tang Cheng guessed it all over the way, but never expected that Yu Dongjun would ask him to say this, "Ministry of Works?"
"Yes, Ministry of Works." Seeing Tang Cheng's surprised and puzzled look, Yu Dongjun smiled slightly: "I asked someone to copy the regulations you submitted that day and then sent them to the Ministry of Works. It seems that all the colleagues in the department are very interested in this." At this point, Yu Dongjun laughed louder. Although he looked tired, the laughter was full of joy, "The people who went out just now were also urgently recalled by the Ministry."
When Tang Cheng heard this, he became a little anxious, "What should I do if they go when they go to the road construction in Jinzhou?"
"I knew you would have this question." After hearing this, Yu Dongjun laughed again, "The chief officer sent someone to rotate again, which will not delay your Jinzhou road construction process. I don't need to say more about what the Ministry of Works will call them back. Tang Cheng, what do you mean?"
This is really not for the Eastern Army. After the provision of the local regulations he had personally drafted was delivered, the Ministry of Works immediately dispatched these people back, obviously for the same thing. The Ministry of Works was poor before, and got up every year to fight with the Ministry of Revenue. Now that they know that they still have such a big gold mountain in their hands, it would be strange if they were not in a hurry. This not only involves the interests of the court, but also mainly involves the interests of the Ministry of Works' own department.
Almost as he understood this, Tang Cheng had an idea in his mind. He didn't want to go to the Ministry of Works, especially now he didn't want to go.
Don’t want to go to the Ministry of Works. This is a long-standing idea that Tang Cheng had. Whether in the past, present or future, Tang Cheng never thought of becoming a technical bureaucrat. Traveling through the Tang Dynasty was to build roads and bridges? This... is not only funny, but also not in line with Tang Cheng’s geographical ideals.
Tang Chengming had clearly determined his position on his officialdom after the words of Sun Envoy of Jinzhou that day. He wanted to be an official and the chief official. Only in this way could he have the right to make decisions and own a piece of land of his own, which was also the most important basis for fully implementing his ideals.
Whether it is for interest or ideals, Tang Chengdu never thought of going to the Ministry of Works; as for now, it is worth mentioning, what's going on now? What can he do when he leaves as an official? What can he do when he goes to the Ministry of Works as an official? Not to mention that he leaves, he is equivalent to giving up all the foundation he has established in Shandong East Road, and it is very likely that he will even have to leave the imperial examinations that have been prepared.
If this is gone, except for the better reputation, everything else will be worth the loss.
"Sir." Facing Yu Dongjun's expectant gaze, Tang Cheng tried his best to make his voice clearer and slower: "I still want to stay in the Daoya, so please help me."
When Yu Dongjun heard this, his face was suffocated. Seeing this, Tang Cheng continued without delay: "I want to watch the Jinzhou and Shannan East Road Network be completed with my own eyes. Before that, I want to stay in this road and add a little bit of strength to this."
Seeing that Yu Dongjun's face had not changed much, Tang Cheng felt his heart, his eyes suddenly became deeper, and his words slowed down to a speed of word by word, "This is my subordinate's ideal, please help me." At this point, Tang Cheng had already stood up and bowed his hands. His eyes were extremely earnest.
If he had said this in front of another Shangguan, Tang Cheng would never say it. If he really said it, not only would he not get what he wanted, but he might also become a laughing stock.
But at this moment, sitting in front of him was Yu Dongjun, who was an alternative official who "the earth collapsed and the mountain collapsed and the hero died. Then the ladder collapsed and the stones in the sky were hooked together" as an alternative official who pursued and ideals throughout his life. Therefore, Tang Cheng's statement about ideals accurately hit a corner of the heart of the adults.
Alas! After a long sigh, Yu Dongjun looked at Tang Cheng with a complicated look, which was both regretful and admirable...
The iron must be hot. What Tang Cheng said later was repeatedly proof: with the detailed regulations and the officials of the Ministry of Works, whether he went to the imperial city or not, he did everything he should do, and those officials of the Ministry of Works also knew the whole process; and the documents that they should say were already detailed in the regulations.
In this case, what's the point of him going to the Imperial City Works Department again?
When he walked out of Yu Dongjun's office, Tang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he notice that he was sweating profusely at some point.
Looking back on the experience just now, Tang Cheng is still scared when he thinks about it now. It’s really dangerous! Fortunately, he speaks quickly, otherwise it would be like the East Army forcibly ordering...
A local government office like the Ministry of Works is not as good as other places. Once you go in, it will be difficult to release it. While breathing a long sigh, Tang Cheng also made up his mind to take part in the scientific examination in November this year, and he cannot wait or delay it.
As a subordinate of Yu Dongjun, this was not a premonition at all. Tang Cheng knew very clearly that if he did not participate in the imperial examination and found another way out, he would definitely be taken to the Ministry of Works by Yu Dongjun in the end.
Damn it, it’s not a good thing for the boss to appreciate it too much, especially when the boss still firmly believes that the Ministry of Works is the best place.
After being frightened by the faction, Tang Chenghui's office room explained a few words to Feng Haizhou and others, he left the yamen and returned to Daya Zhizhengyuan. It was really scary to stay in this yamen now.
Back at Daya Zhizheng Garden, Tang Cheng had just sat down in his study. Before he could finish a cup of calming the gods, he saw Guan Guan coming in from outside.
"Acheng, are you tired?" Seeing Tang Cheng's face was tired, Guan Guan asked, and the man had turned behind him and reached out to help Tang Cheng gently pinch his shoulders.
Tang Cheng has always been a friend of Guan Guan, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"I'm tired but not tired, but I was a little scared." As he spoke, Tang Cheng laughed in disgrace, "What's the matter with you coming to me?"
His subordinates were both slight and heavy, and they were both slow and slow. Seeing Tang Cheng smiling strangely, Guan Guan thought he was joking, so he didn't ask again after laughing, "There are more and more customers who have to 'meat accompany' these days, and Wu Niang and the others are a little moved..."
"Guan Guan, are you interested?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Guan did not directly answer yes or no, "Acheng, you invested so much money in the garden..."
"Haha, it turns out you are worried about this. Don't worry. If you keep up with the momentum in the garden, the money you invested will be collected sooner or later." As he spoke, Tang Cheng turned around, withdrew the smile on his face, and looked at Guan Guan seriously and said, "When I made an agreement with Yue Chaoqun that day, Guan Guan, you are here, and no one can stand without trust! I am a man after all, and since I agree, I will do it."
Seeing what she was going to say, Tang Cheng waved his hand gently, "Guan Guan, from the beginning when I wanted to build this garden, I never thought of making money by relying on women's bodies. This has nothing to do with Yue Chaoqun's agreement. You can talk to Wu Niang and the others later, so they must understand."
"What?".
"Our Daya Zhizhengyuan is different from Yueminglou. It is not a brothel." After emphasizing this sentence in a very heavy tone, Tang Cheng smiled indifferently and said, "It will rain, and my mother will get married. If there are guests who don't want to come again because of this, then let him go."
After Guan Guan left, Tang Cheng sat in the study for a while, then stood up and left Daya Zhizhengyuan and headed for Liulinfang next door.
In the Yueming Building of Liulinfang, when he heard that Tang Cheng was visiting, Yue Chaoqun personally welcomed him downstairs, and he was very intimate with his words and laughter.
After the two went upstairs to sit down, Tang Cheng heard Yue Chaoqun's instructions to call the Red Gu Mingjing, the top brand of Yueminglou, and hurriedly reached out and shook his hand and said, "Forget it, forgot, Brother Yue is kind, you and I will be able to speak."
"A man is not romantic and indifferent to a young man." Upon hearing this, Yue Chaoqun teased him, but he also reached out to condemn the servant according to Tang Cheng's intention, "What's the matter with you here today?"
"It's not the matter of He Zhongda's literary meeting," Tang Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. "He came to Daya Zhizhengyuan in front of his gong."
"I have heard of this, too." Yue Chaoqun was a bachelor. Before Tang Cheng could say anything, he said directly: "Young brother needs my help if you have anything to do, just say it."
"I came for this, Brother Yue knows me!" After Tang Cheng smiled, he put down the teacup in his hand and whispered to Yue Chaoqun.
Yue Chaoqun became more and more surprised when he heard it. After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said, "This is the agreed thing, I should do it myself. Young brother, you are such a big deal."
"This time, hundreds of brothels in Liulinfang were involved. The number of people was large and the time was accurate, so Brother Lao Yue was too worried."
"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk about." After hearing this, Yue Chaoqun laughed, "I've been in Liulinfang for some years, and I've never seen such a lively life. Taking this opportunity, I just opened my eyes."
"Yes, that night must have been very lively," Tang Cheng and Yue Chaoqun looked at each other and smiled, "Since they want to play, let's have a big game."
As the time of the literary meeting is getting closer, Lord He Zhongda, who has been in contact with each other recently, is naturally very busy. In contrast, the clouds and winds in the Daya Zhizheng Park are light and light. In addition to this openly busy and leisure, Yue Chaoqun has not been idle at all these days, and all this is for that night!
