As Taicheng was built, popularity gradually recovered. Although relatively speaking, the workload of Taichen was much lighter than that of local officials, according to regulations, Taichen had to live in Taicheng to work. If he was absent for a long time, it would always cause criticism, either for his illness, old age, or for his negligence.

Therefore, when the living environment in Taicheng improved, the officials of Taicheng rushed back one after another, and there were more and more pedestrians on the way, and their vitality was recovering.

Because Wen Qiao had a stroke and his level was also placed there, he was qualified to ride a chariot in Taicheng. Shen Zhezi followed him with his chariot with his hands down, like a small follower. On the road, he met those Tai ministers who were walking through various government offices to do business, and those people stopped and worshiped the Secretary of State.

But soon, Wen Qiao discovered that compared to him, the Shangshu Ling, the young follower seemed to be more popular in Taicheng. When others walked in front of him, they were very respectful, but they stepped back after the ceremony. But halfway through, more than ten Tai ministers had gathered around Shen Zhezi, most of whom were young people, and they were chatting and laughing.

Wen Qiao had not completely let go of Shen Zhezi. When he saw so many people gathering around him, his face was quite eye-catching, and he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. He waved his hand and asked the servants to stop, turned his head and snorted coldly: "Is the court selecting talents and providing salary to support you, is it just to make you laugh and wander around Taicheng?"

Hearing the rebuke of the Shangshu Ling, everyone was silent. Shen Zhezi knew that Wen Qiao was still having trouble and could not make it easier to provoke him again. So he bowed to everyone and said, "Today I will enter Taiwan, I will live for a long time, and I will gather with you when I am free."

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise or joy. There was so much noise in Shen Garden, and they all guessed whether Shen Zhezi had the opportunity to join Taiwan. They didn't expect that they would come today, and Shangshu Ling personally invited him to accompany him. This treatment is really enviable.

Although their thoughts were different, they all came forward to congratulate him and agreed to meet again in the next day. Then they all dispersed to find relatives and friends to inform the news. The son-in-law was about to perform his duties and become an official, which is a big and small news in Taicheng.

After dealing with these people, Shen Zhezi rushed up a few more steps and saw Wen Qiao sitting on the chariot and looking at him with a smile: "I thought you had caused too much turmoil, so I showed it to the public, but I didn't expect that I was a partial person. It turns out that you have a wide range of friendships in Taiwan and have many acquaintances!"

"We should still provide more protection for Mr. Wen and not dare to take it."

Although Shen Zhezi was respectful, he felt a lot of complaints in his heart. He was more popular than you. How could you do it? Xintai City has repaired it for you. No matter what, it should be more popular than Wen Qiao who lost all his money and was detained for his friend to redeem him.

Fortunately, Wen Qiao did not hear Shen Zhezi's heart, but just ordered: "Follow me to the Tai Pavilion first, and your family will send you to the imperial edict to review later, and then go to the Duke's Mansion to take up his post."

Shen Zhezi nodded and followed with a well-behaved attitude. This time, he was not too arrogant anymore. Even if someone said hello, he just nodded and responded without saying much. However, as the news of his entry into Taiwan and taking office spread, more and more people came out of the official office to see what was going on.

So along the way to Shangshutai, Wen Qiao entrusted Shen Zhezi's blessing and enjoyed the welcome treatment of a cross-channel. However, he was not happy. Unexpectedly, this kid just entered Taicheng and caused such a big disturbance. Yu Tan did not show up, but he personally escorted him, which fell into the eyes of others, and it was inevitable that he could not help but feel a little scarred, and even confirmed that he supported Shen Zhezi and caused the rumor that Chenyuan had caused this storm.

This time, the party not only did not vent his anger, but was first criticized by Princess Xingnan in the princess's mansion, and then on the way back, he added to his injustice. How could Wen Qiao feel? So after returning to the official office, he just pointed to one of the doors and said, "I went in and sat in meditation. Don't bother me again if I have nothing to do!"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he felt unfair. He had no intention of bothering Wen Qiao. He had just come back and had time to rest for two days before he slipped into Taicheng. He was still unhappy!

As the most important administrative office in Taicheng, the Shangshutai is also extremely large in scale, even accounting for nearly one-third of the entire Taicheng! It’s not that Wen Qiao wants to make such a big name, but because the Shangshutai is divided into Cao’s affairs, and nearly half of the Taicheng is under its jurisdiction in terms of regulation.

The division of Cao in Shangshutai also increased and decreased with the times, from the most basic six Caos, gradually developed to twenty-thirty Caos. Until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was merged into the six ministries. As for the other divisions, they were all divided into the various departments of the six ministries.

The change in power of Shangshutai can also be called a history of counterattack. It was originally just an official affiliated to the Shaofu, responsible for managing the collection of rules and pictures. Later, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it gradually summarized political affairs and was used by the emperor to separate the power of the three ministers and became the highest administrative department.

However, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Shangshutai was too big and became the target of the emperor's guard against. Then the Zhongshu was in charge of the edict to control the Shangshutai. However, in the Southern Dynasties, even the Zhongshu had become the target of being guarded against, and thus the poor family had the opportunity to take charge of the masterpiece.

Therefore, the evolution of the political structure in ancient times was really interesting. Shangshu, Zhongshu, and secretary were originally ministers of close attendants. In order to concentrate power in his own hands, the emperor promoted these easy-to-control servants. However, soon after these servants had power, they all stood opposite to the imperial power, which seemed to have become an unsolvable cycle.

Shen Zhezi was not lonely for too long in the Shangshu Deck. Not long after he sat down, Yu Tiao had already rushed over. After entering the door, he pointed at Shen Zhezi and laughed: "Wei Zhou finally can't escape from the net. Today, he will be a disciple of Taichung Xun Dian."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he laughed. Although there are not much constraints on officials nowadays, there are also some. For someone like Yu Tiao who is not short of money and power, it is indeed unreasonable to put a layer of shackles on himself when he enters Taicheng to serve as an official position. It is far less peaceful and free than being in the wild.

From this perspective, the style of seclusion in Ruan Ji and Ji Kang in the early days of the Wei and Jin Dynasties can be said to be a evasion of ****, but later on, they are more of money and lazy to do things.

After Yu Tiao sat down, he sighed again: "However, like Weizhou Dacai, he should have been in charge of work long ago. It is a pity for the people to stay idle for a long time."

Although Shen Zhezi had heard of any kind of praise, Yu Tiao still felt a little ashamed. He has not won the championship this year and has been used. If this is still idle for a long time, many poor families in their fifties are still waiting for election in the Ministry of Personnel. I really don’t know what to say.

Yu Tiao was also working at the office now, but when he came over and saw him in a hurry, he agreed to hold a banquet at the Shangshu Desk to celebrate with Shen Zhezi in the evening, and then returned to his official office.

Next, Shen Zhezi met Ji You, Xie Shang and others here again. It can be said that there were endless visitors. As we came and saw Wen Qiao's secluded gaze in the distance.

After staying in the Shangshu Desk for about an hour, his family sent the imperial edict and the family reading, so Shen Zhezi said goodbye to Wen Qiao.

Although Wen Qiao had already been impatient with Shen Zhezi treating his official office as a living room, he still asked him to come in and instruct: "There are no more people in the platform than others. There are many people watching. Remember not to be scattered like before. I know that your ambition is not in the center, but since you have returned to Taiwan, it is better to behave like you, so don't be too tempted. Taibao may have a warning, so you can listen patiently."

These were also serious words. Shen Zhezi nodded seriously to express his teachings. However, Wen Qiao had already learned about this guy's ability to disobey him and had no trust. After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Get out quickly, get out quickly!"

Shen Zhezi laughed and then went out. As soon as he left the Shangshu Desk Office, he saw Yuan Dan standing by the road as if waiting for him, so he quickly walked over.

"I heard that the prince-consort had already entered Taiwan with the imperial edict, and the Taibao asked me to come and guide the prince-consort."

Yuan Dan stepped forward and said with a smile. He was worried that Shen Zhezi had occupied his career, and at the same time, Xie Shangli was full of resentment, but he could always maintain a harmonious relationship after meeting.

"Although I have not served in Taicheng, I have many contacts. Brother He Laoyan welcomes you in person!"

Shen Zhezi also expressed his gratitude and asked his family to hand over a picture book to give it to him. This is also a customary rule in Taichung. New officials should give Shangguan and colleagues a meeting gift. As for the gifts they give, they all vary from person to person. Some are ordinary items, and some simply give money directly.

Yuan Dan originally did not intend to receive the gift, but after his eyes fell on the picture, his face changed. He could no longer say anything he refused, and murmured: "It was Wei Tai Fei's seal. This gift is really too expensive. I was just ordered to come and guide the prince-consort, and I am really ashamed of accepting it!"

"I also follow the customs of entering the country. Brother Yan Dao, please don't refuse."

Wei Guan was a great calligrapher in the Central Dynasty. People at that time learned his brushwork. Although many of his strokes flowed to Jiangdong, most of them were cherished and kept secrets from others, so they were also very precious. In the early years, Shen Zhezi went to the capital to seduce Ji Kuang, and searched all the two sects in the capital to find the original works of Wei Guan. But now Li Chong, who has obtained all the true teachings of Wei, is a guest of his place, so he doesn't think it is too strange.

Besides, his family also has a future saint of calligraphy who often interacts with civil servants. Wei Guan's original works can be used as gifts for orders in Taicheng, and no matter who gives them, the recipient is worthy of face.
