Chapter 54 Zuo Cheng Cai Que

The Great Xia Dynasty attacked the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was already dead. Although one or two princes formed an exiled regime, they ran away like a rabbit and were probably arrested soon. The Song Dynasty had no hope of continuing again, so more people would be escorted to Bianjing City next.

However, there is also a difference between escort and escort. The first level is like Su Shi, Ouyang Bian personally welcomes him out of the city gate, while the second level is like Cai Que. He was the first to summon him among a group of people.

Cai Que was arranged in a very good yard, which was much better than his original residence in Bianjing City. The officials who received him said truthfully that everyone originally lived in the inn, but the emperor ordered that you should give you better treatment. This yard is not only your place to stay, but also for you. Kaifeng Mansion has already given you a name. When the wife and son come over, they can all be able to live there.

Cai Que was warm in his heart. In this group of people, civil and military officials, and even Zhao Xu, he was the only one who had such treatment. Although the others were not imprisoned and imprisoned, they were just entertained in the inn, so how could he have such treatment?

The next morning, an official came to inform him that Ouyang Bian will make time to meet him in the afternoon.

Cai Que quickly said, "Why did Your Majesty have time so quickly?"

The official smiled and said, "What Mr. Cai wants to know is the one who was summoned, right?"

Cai Que was not embarrassed, but bowed and said sincerely: "I would like to give you advice."

The official smiled and said, "I dare not, Mr. Cai will probably be promoted soon. You are the first person to be summoned, even Zhao... is not as good as you."

Cai Quexi said: "I ask you for auspicious words!"

As he said that, Cai Que quickly took out a crystal jade pendant from under his sleeve, and then handed it over as soon as he shook hands.

The official was stunned, but just smiled and accepted it.

In the afternoon, Cai Que took a shower and changed his clothes early and waited for someone to pick him up. Of course, it was inconvenient for the Song Dynasty government to wear it, but there were no Xia Dynasty clothes, so he could only choose regular clothes to wear.

The carriage and horses arrived on time, followed Cai Que and headed for the palace. Along the way, Cai Que brought the scene on the street into the present. The prosperity of Bianjing City was much more prosperous than it was a long time ago. Cai Que couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

He passed Zhuque Street and headed towards the palace. Under the guidance of the palace servants, he finally met Ouyang Bian. When Cai Que saw Ouyang Bian, he immediately bowed down to his knees.

Ouyang Bian was not surprised and helped Cai Que up with a smile.

"Keep the right way, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Cai Que was stunned for a moment and thought, "These carriages and horses were all sent by you, so why did it seem like I was late?" But since Ouyang Bian said that, Cai Que quickly apologized and said, "It's my delay, I'm tired of waiting for a long time."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "What I said is not today's affairs, but the matter of coming to the Xia Dynasty."

Cai Que suddenly realized that this was Ouyang Bian's attitude of seeking talents to him. Although he didn't know whether what Ouyang Bian said was true or false, he still had to cooperate with the performance that should be coordinated. Cai Que quickly knelt down again and choked up and said, "Your Majesty, it's really because I'm late. I'm tired of waiting for you for a long time. I'm here this time because I hope to work hard for Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly. The Song Dynasty did not have the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping, and the Daxia Dynasty did not have such a method. Don't kneel down at any time in the future.

Guan Zheng is not just doing things for me today. The achievements accumulated by Guan Zheng are beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, Guan Zheng cannot be made public, but Cai Zhi will suffer some grievances."

Cai Que naturally knew that what he did should not be made public, but he was not worried. Since Ouyang Bian said it, it means that he would definitely make some compensation in some places, so there is no need to worry, just wait for Ouyang Bian’s arrangements.

Sure enough, Ouyang Bian continued: "Next, go to Jifu to get familiar with your work. The Secretariat still needs a Zuo Cheng, who is also in charge of the overall situation in the Song Dynasty. Zuo Cheng's work also makes you familiar with the style of work here."

Cai Que was overjoyed when he heard this.

The Secretariat is the general administration agency of the whole country. The Secretariat has six ministries and twenty-four departments, and the Secretariat has the Secretariat as its deputy;

The official has a doctor, and the deputy director is the deputy.

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the financial responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of etiquette and tribute, the Ministry of War is responsible for military registration and instrumentality, the Ministry of Justice handles criminal and criminal proceedings, and the Ministry of Works is responsible for engineering construction.

All national government affairs are under the jurisdiction of the department.

The three supervisors of the Nine Temples, when they meet the supervisors, they become specific functional institutions and implement the political orders conveyed by the Secretary of the State.

Local prefectures and counties also submit to the Shangshu Fu and orders, and regularly submit household registration, account and political achievements to the Shangshu Department.

Therefore, the Shangshu Province is still the general hub of state affairs and the highest administrative body.

Below the Minister of the Secretariat, the above doctors are the left and right ministers.

The Zuo Cheng is the fourth rank;

The right chief is the fourth rank.

He is in charge of the rituals of defending the six officials, correcting those who are in the province, and impeaching the censors for inappropriate propositions.

Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, and the chief general of the right chief;

The Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, and the general of the Left Chief.

In other words, although the Zuo Cheng was not as well-known as the Minister of the Secretariat, the Zuo Cheng was in charge of the so-called three upper divisions of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites. Although his power was slightly worse than in the Song Dynasty, it was really the intention of Ouyang Bian to use him.

What Ouyang Bian said was [to get familiar with the work], that is, when he gets familiar with the work, there may be more important work waiting for him.

After arranging work, Ouyang Bian asked Cai Qu about some of the situation of the Song Dynasty and some suggestions from Cai Que, and then the meeting between the two ended.

Cai Que said goodbye and left, Ouyang Bian looked at Cai Que's back and smiled.

Today, the issue of talent is no longer a big problem, but talent like Cai Que is still rare.

Cai Que's reputation in later generations was not good, but it was mostly due to political enemies. Since Ouyang Bian and Cai Que dating, although Cai Que has been eager to do some things and has some problems in personal ethics, he is indeed a person who does practical things.

Ouyang Bian did not restrain people by morality, but by law. When he was in charge of his duties in his court, the first thing he was to be able to do things, not moral models.

Cai Que was very happy after receiving Ouyang Bian's appointment. What made him happier later was that Ouyang Bian also rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and treasures, etc., which alleviated his many inconveniences.

He had a lot of property in the Song Dynasty, but before he came, many of the property were frozen by the Daxia Ministry of Revenue. Cai did not want to take back this part of the property, after all, it would damage his reputation.
