Chapter 2333 No choice is easy(1/2)
Chang'an.
Senate Law Court.
When Wei Duan looked at the new political system of Longyou and Longxi posted in the Senate and Law Yuan, he felt very depressed in his chest and abdomen, as if someone had stuffed a stone into it. His diaphragm was so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
Wei Duan maintained a slightly stiff smile on his face, and then slightly responded to those who saluted him from time to time, but there was only pain in his heart.
Wei Duan wanted to yell, "I didn't make these laws! I don't know anything about this! If you have problems, go to Hussar! Go to Hussar! Don't come to me!"
It's a pity that Wei Duan didn't dare.
Because Wei Duan is the dean of the Senate.
Since General Fei Qian ordered a list to be announced in the Senate, it means that this matter is in the hands of Wei Duan, and Wei Duan must do this well, otherwise what is the point of holding this position?
Especially when I saw the contents of the New Deal related to position salary and job responsibilities, it was more like a warning. If you are passive and slack in your work, you may be dismissed in the blink of an eye...
What's more, there are many young and old people staring at his position!
The flags reading "Shen Lv Yuan" were flying high in the distance on both sides of the entrance hall, seeming to represent this kind of honor and responsibility. It's like Wei Duan must bear it no matter how uncomfortable he is now, because if he is exposed, he
He did not participate in high-level decision-making, so what would the children of the Chang'an clan think?
It turns out that there is no "Shenryu" in the Senate, or it is just used to take the blame. So what will other people think about the president of the Senate?
This is a sad story, but it is a pity that Wei Duan must finish it and tell it well.
When the new policies were announced, a circle of people gathered around them. From time to time, various voices, loud or small, were heard, and these people were just ordinary middle- and low-level officials, such as Zhongjie.
The middle-level and high-level officials took the handwritten copy and slowly looked at it in their own halls and bureaus, considering it word by word.
Although for Wei Duan, the position in front of the Senate Courtyard is like a pair of crystal shoes. It looks crystal clear, graceful and luxurious, but it is actually one size too small. It is not only awkward but also painful to put on. But the problem is that these shoes are now worn.
It was on Wei Duan's feet, but it was seen in the eyes of others.
What if I wear these shoes? Such beautiful, gorgeous, tasteful and classy shoes cannot be worn once in life, so what if I am a socialite? Even if they are only worn temporarily, if I can take a group photo to prove that I have worn them, that is
Okay……
As a result, some opinions were raised one after another.
Wei Duangao sat in the hall of Shenluyuan, and then a small official bowed his hands and said, "I am reporting to the court, all counties in the world are divided into large and small, thick and thin, rich and barren, and they are also divided into mountains, forests, seas and rivers in the frontier and inland areas. However,
These salaries are all the same, which may be unfair..."
Wei Duan nodded as if he was confident and said: "What you say is even reasonable. If not, why don't you take the lead? I will write a policy statement on this issue, explain a few things, and attach some suggestions. I will submit it in three days!"
The clerk was stunned for a moment, then blinked twice, swallowed, and left after taking the order.
Another person came to pay homage and said, "What is the clear warning from the court? What should be the ratio between salary, responsibility and salary for this position? If the salary is too high and the responsibility and salary are too low, then what happens if the salary and responsibility are abandoned? What if the responsibility and salary are too heavy?
The job salary is too low, and if it is not achieved due to temporary negligence, how can it be enough to support the elderly and children in the family?"
Wei Duan nodded again, "What you said is true! Since you have thought about it, you should discuss it. You should also write a strategy and discuss what should be done. I will hand it in within three days!"
After a few times, all the big and small officials in the Senate learned the lesson and expressed that they had no objections and that everything was fine and no problem.
no problem?!
How can this be done?
If everyone has no problem, it means that Wei Duan has a problem. Naturally, Wei Duan cannot bring these problems to his head. After pondering for a long time, he issued an order to let all the members of the Council of Laws and Law Schools, large and small,
The officials were divided into two groups. One group went out to collect various opinions, and the other group solved the problems collected...
Then it becomes fun.
The team responsible for collecting the items didn't need to solve them themselves, so they had all kinds of strange problems. No matter what, we'll talk about it after the collection is back...
Then the team responsible for solving these problems cried for their parents, gritted their teeth and racked their brains to come up with ideas and suggestions...
Five days later, after Wei Duan received the first round of opinions and solution suggestions, he announced that the two groups had swapped positions. The group that had previously collected the problems was now responsible for solving the problems, while the group that had previously solved the problems could go out to collect again.
Second round of comments.
The sudden joy of joy, the sorrow of sorrow, the stunnedness and the excitement are all in harmony.
After two rounds, many details of projects such as this were formulated and clarified during repeated discussions, and Wei Duan suddenly gained a little more insight when presiding over these projects.
It seems like this is what the Chancellor of the Senate Law Yuan should do?
Assign a group to study the terms, then set a time for handing over the study results, then make a comprehensive assessment, and finally determine the details, demonstrating the authority of participating in the law...
Seeing his subordinates respectfully presenting various summaries one by one, and realizing some of the true meaning of Shen Lv, Wei Duan finally felt some happiness, but for some reason, there was always some trace of sadness in this happiness.
Hidden in it, lingering and lingering, there is even some absurd sense of humor.
Just when Wei Duan still couldn't figure out what this ridiculous sense of humor was all about, Zheng Xuan, who was on the outskirts of Chang'an, finally made up his mind.
Most of the leaves on the branches of the trees in the courtyard have fallen, and the rest may not last long.
Zheng Xuan looked up at the trembling leaves on the branches, as if he saw himself.
At this age, some things are not so important...
It's just that others may not agree with things that Zheng Xuan thinks are unimportant, such as the position of Crown Prince and Tutor.
Xi Lu sat aside, his manners were upright and his manners were elegant.
"Hongyu..." Zheng Xuan suddenly said, "You have been following me for nearly ten years..."
Xi Lu raised his head and glanced at Zheng Xuan, then nodded in agreement.
Zheng Xuan looked at Xi Lu and sighed slightly, "Hongyu... this time the imperial conscription, the teacher is too old to travel far..."
Xi Lu raised his head, "Huh?"
Although Xi Lu didn't say anything, there was still some unconcealable disappointment in his voice.
Just like a certain Piao in later generations, Xi Lu wanted to leave Chang'an. He didn't want to stay in Chang'an anymore. It wasn't because there was any danger in Chang'an, or there were any problems in his life in Chang'an, but because he wanted to leave Chang'an.
It's because Xi Liu didn't get much attention here in Chang'an.
Xi Liu's previous reputation and all the knowledge he had mastered did not play their due role. Of course, Xi Liu, an ordinary low-level official, also looked down upon him. The difficulties and distress of being unable to achieve high levels and low positions made Xi Liu
I am disappointed with Chang'an day by day.
It's like a newly graduated college student who wanted 10,000 before graduation, and then found out after graduation that he was actually one in 10,000, or even 1 in 20,000...
Looking forward, it seems that the future is unclear, and looking back, my efforts have not made me move forward much. This kind of inner doubt about myself is easy to accumulate, and eventually some other emotions will evolve from it, and then at some point.
At some point, it may explode.
Zheng Xuan seemed to be aware of Xi Lu's thoughts, so he took out a scroll of letters from behind and handed it to Xi Lu.
Xi Liu subconsciously took it and opened it to take a look. He couldn't help being stunned, and then looked at Zheng Xuan with his mouth open.
"My master has recommended you to the angels in the court..." Zheng Xuan said slowly, "The emperor is recruiting you sincerely today. If the angels return empty-handed, it would be disrespectful to the emperor... Therefore, I recommend you to my master."
As a servant, you can face the Emperor directly, lecture on scriptures and discuss matters, and you can also develop your aspirations..."
Xi Lu pinched the letter in his hand, trembling slightly, and then fell to the ground: "Master... But, after the disciple left, Master's here..."
"It doesn't matter... A few days ago, I received a letter from Zini and wanted to come to Chang'an..." Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "Even if Zini has not arrived, there are hundreds of medical clinics in Chang'an... Hongyu doesn't need to
I’m worried...』
Xi Xi was still a little hesitant, or he seemed a little hesitant.
Zheng Xuan lowered his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Hongyu... is riding in the Shenluyuan to announce the new policy of Longxi Longyou, do you know?"
"New policy in Longxi and Longyou?" Xi Lu swallowed his saliva and said, "Disciple, disciple... I know a little bit..."
In fact, Xi Liu didn't understand it at all, and even resisted these new policies. Xi Liu felt that it was because of these new policies of Husband that Xi Liu never had a better carrot pit. Xi Liu always thought that he was in a better situation.
Full of talents and memorizing classics, he should be able to easily ascend to the center of the court, and chat and laugh with all the great scholars. After accumulating some fame and connections, he should be expected to be Sanhuai...
It's a pity that the first step of this wonderful dream has not been taken yet. Xi Lu just fell down with a bang, his tail vertebra was broken, and he still couldn't get up. Of course Xi Lu didn't think it was him.
I walked carelessly, but I couldn't help but curse in my heart that there was water, ice, and pits in front of the Hussar's courtyard. Isn't this the responsibility of the Hussar?
Therefore, Xi Liu has always been vaguely repelled by these new political measures of Hussar. He is unwilling to listen, unwilling to think, and even less willing to put down his own airs and learn from it. Like a stubborn primary school student,
He feels that if the teacher of a certain subject doesn't give him a smile, he just doesn't want to take the teacher's class. Little does he know that it is not the teacher who suffers in the end, but himself...
"Hmm..." Zheng Xuan smiled, "Let's go and take a look. Even if you are below the level of the Emperor's Pill, you can tell a few things. Otherwise, if the Emperor inquires..."
Xi Lu's eyes suddenly condensed.
"Go! In three days, you will return with the angel! I am old and can't help feeling sad, so I won't send you off..." Zheng Xuan waved his hand, "If there is another chance in the future, you and I will be our master and disciple."
When we meet again..."
Although they say this, both of them know that if they say goodbye, they will say goodbye forever.
Zheng Xuan looked up at the sky, then closed his eyes.
Zheng Xuan has seen enough of the stale things in the Han Dynasty and has been around enough. Now only Chang'an is new. Zheng Xuan still wants to see more new things in his remaining life...
But Xi Lu was still nostalgic for the old things.
After all, we are not fellow travelers.
"Master..." Xi Lu knelt down for two steps and prostrated himself on the ground.
To be continued...
