Chapter 147: Anti-guests
Wu Zheng was walking in the long corridor with the documents, thinking about the new Shangguan in his mind.
Quan Zhijue joined the army and had already stayed in the courtyard where the files were stored in Jingzhao Mansion for three consecutive days.
During the three days, Liu Yi and the other two accompanied him. Wu Zheng and other government officials only handled some daily government affairs and did not participate too much.
As time went by, everyone felt that something was wrong and started to complain vaguely, saying that the newly arrived Marquis Dingxiang looked down on everyone too much and did not know their abilities.
After Wu Zheng heard this, he said that he would think of ways to change the situation.
He was originally one of the confidants of the former judicial officer Wei Xing. It stands to reason that when the superior officer changes, the power structure below will also change. He should have lost favor and be treated with caution.
But now the situation is different. The new one is sent on a temporary basis and is still close to the original Shangguan. His unlucky Shangguan Wei Xing even asked someone to bring him a message, asking him to assist Dingxiang Marquis.
He was also prepared, but he did not expect that in addition to the airborne Shangguan, there were several additional ones who were recommended, and each one had a greater background than the last, which forced him to think a few more steps.
Wu Zheng had always heard of the names of Guo Zhan and Gao Du, both of whom worked in the capital.
The key is that these two people were recommended by their husbands.
As for the third person, it's even more serious.
He was born in a royal clan, a background that ordinary people cannot compare to. He is even more capable, and his reputation has long spread throughout the yamen of Chang'an. What's more terrible is that this Dingxiang Marquis was Dingxiang when he was talking to the emperor at the hunting ground.
The candidates who came down can be said to have been personally recommended by the emperor.
Recommended by two husbands and endorsed by an emperor, these three people came and were valued by the new Shangguan, and then entrusted with important tasks. No one could say anything, but they were more or less unwilling to do so.
After all, he was a prince, well-known in Chang'an, and deeply trusted by officials. At the same time, he had a profound background, and his father and brother left a rich political legacy.
The whole yamen was excited because of this. After all, if you could cling to such a person, you would be able to rise to great heights and become a phoenix. However, it turned out to be the current situation, and you were dissatisfied.
Wu Zheng also felt that Marquis Dingxiang did not know what they were capable of, so he chose today, and after finishing the work at hand, he found a reason with the acquiescence of other colleagues and came here with the documents.
"Although the Marquis is famous, he is a high-ranking figure after all. He may not be good at specific things. The same goes for the other three. No matter how powerful their background is, no matter how tough their background is, and no matter how sophisticated their methods, they are still laymen in this yamen, and they may not be better than others.
If you are worthy of me, as long as you find an opportunity, you can still make the Marquis realize our value!"
However, as soon as he put down the documents, he went to find a familiar servant in the yamen and asked insinuatingly. The man was very understanding and whispered: "Over there, Dingxiang Hou's archives are looking through old documents."
"Read it by yourself?" Wu Zheng was a little surprised, "I thought the Marquis came here just to negotiate in advance, and then summoned people to come over and read it, but he actually read it by himself?"
As he was talking, he suddenly came to his senses and said: "Yes, but I forgot that the Marquis is accompanied by several outstanding people. With their help, the Marquis may be able to know the secret inside."
"I'm afraid this is different from what you think." The man shook his head and said, "The Marquis read it by himself, and the others just helped out!"
"Master Marquis, read it?" Wu Zheng was quite surprised, "Such... such a tedious thing, if Master Marquis does it, it will really consume a lot of energy, and if you don't know how to do it, it will be light, and you won't be able to see it.
I was irritable and missed other things."
When the man heard this, he showed a smile, and then said: "It's too early for you to say this. I won't say more. You can go and take a look for yourself." He flashed the document in his hand, "Wait for me
After finishing the work here, I want to go take a look."
After hearing this, Wu Zheng was filled with doubts and uncertainty. He slowly passed by, only to find that the further forward he went, the more people there were.
Before and after, there were no fewer than seven or eight people he could name.
"There aren't many people in this place where files are archived. It seems like they all gathered here. What are you doing here?"
With doubts, he walked forward for a while. Looking at a bunch of people carrying files hand in hand, Wu Zheng vaguely guessed the reason. He stopped one person and asked, "Were you called here to help sort it out?"
Although I didn't get the answer, I already felt in my heart that this must be the case.
Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We are not here to help. If you ask me, the Marquis of Dingxiang seems to be here to help."
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then asked: "How do you say this?"
"This is because..." Before the man could say anything, his name was suddenly called out, and then Wu Zheng listened -
"Come on, this time it's a family dispute again. You still have to classify it. The Marquis said that this time it involves land differentiation and industry. It can't just be put into the family category. It has to be added.
Note that this is a dispute over property."
"Okay!" The man responded, and then smiled at Wu Zheng, "I'm afraid you can see that the Marquis of Dingxiang was checking the files and helping to classify them. He read them very quickly, and
With a clear mind, you can often sort out the complicated things in just a few breaths, and you can also put forward key points for us to help classify, no, rather help me classify."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Wu Zheng was surprised, so he went forward again and found an acquaintance, who then explained clearly: "In the past two days, Marquis Dingxiang has been looking through the files and sorting them out. He can read very quickly.
Yesterday afternoon, I read through a single-room file and found that there were many areas that needed to be sorted out, so I notified the Governor and got permission to let me help sort it out."
As he spoke, the man showed a look of admiration on his face and said: "In recent times, I have always heard the name of this Marquis. It is true that he is not in vain. This method of organizing files is really good."
Absolutely!"
Wu Zheng was amazed in his heart and asked: "But Liu Dianjian and others are assisting?"
The man had a strange expression and finally said: "Assisting is true, but it's almost the same as me. We are always waiting for the Marquis' orders. After all, no one can compare with the Marquis's browsing speed." These words
After that, this person was also called over, and then he carried several wooden boxes to the single room next to him.
Is there such a situation? Does the Marquis have such great ability?
Wu Zheng became more and more alarmed, so he quickened his pace. Under the guidance of a few people, he finally saw his Shangguan——
Then they saw Li Huai sitting behind the desk in a single room. There were many files in front of him, and he was flipping through them quickly while holding one in his hand. Gao Du stood behind him with an expressionless face.
Guo Zhan took down a few files from the bookshelf and placed them on the table.
At this time, Li Huai put down the file in his hand and said a few words to Liu Yi who was beside him. The latter took it, nodded, and ordered the official in charge of the file to get up. The latter nodded repeatedly, and then called someone's name.
, let him place them according to categories.
It seems as if Li Huai is the master sitting here.
"Is this turning against guests?"
Wu Zheng was stunned on the spot.
It took him a while to understand, but the surprise on his face could not be eliminated.
I always feel like this situation shouldn’t be like this!
He was sighing when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him, and then he saw a sweaty young man walking past him nimbly. He didn't care about anything else and went straight to Liu Yi's side and pulled out a stick.
The bamboo tube was handed over.
