In the meantime, Li Hao changed into his official robe on the carriage. He stopped the carriage and stood up straight to admire it. Then he asked Fu Deng, "Master, do I look more dignified in this outfit?"

After hearing this, Fu Deng immediately replied: "Of course, the young master looks exactly like Pan An in this official robe."

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "The temperament I am talking about, it seems that Pan An is because your young master is good-looking, you know." Then he got in the car again and said: "Let's continue on our way to Kaifeng Mansion." But he didn't sit down.

When he got in the car, Li Hao felt that the green official robe really didn't match his temperament, and he didn't know when he would be able to wear the purple color.

After sitting for a while, the carriage finally stopped. When Li Hao opened the curtain and walked out, he looked at the Kaifeng government office, which was the most grand among the government offices in the past.

It looks grander, and I think that I will now work here, which can be regarded as an important step in a long road.

After getting off the carriage, Li Hao said to Fu Deng: "You should go back home first and pick me up here around Yinshi. If I don't come out, just find a place to wait for me outside."

After Fu Deng agreed, he took the coachman and drove back to the mansion, while Li Hao walked towards the gate of Kaifeng mansion.

The yamen servant in front of the door looked a little strange when Li Hao approached in a sixth-grade official uniform at a young age. So he stepped forward and asked, "I don't know who you are, what business do you have to do when you come to Kaifeng Mansion."

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "I am the new official of Kaifeng Prefecture. I am here to review my duties and take office today."

After hearing this, the yamen servant hurriedly saluted and said, "It turns out that Mr. Li is in person. I'm sorry for the rude offence."

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "It's okay. I wonder if Mr. Ouyang has arrived."

The yamen servant hurriedly said: "Master Fu Yin has arrived and should be working in the office now. If Master Li wants to find Fu Yin, let me lead the way."

Li Hao said: "Okay, I'll trouble you."

"Your Excellency, you're welcome." After the officer finished speaking, he turned around and led Li Hao into Kaifeng Mansion.

As soon as you enter the gate of the mansion, you can see a screen wall in front of it. To the south are the three big characters "Kaifeng Mansion", which are vigorous and powerful. They were mentioned by Song Zhenzong himself when he was appointed to judge Kaifeng Mansion. To the north is a deer that looks like a deer but is not.

The monster looks like a sheep but not a sheep. It has bright eyes and is waiting to see. It is called Haechi. It is a legendary mythical beast that can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyalty from evil.

Walking around the screen wall and walking forward, there is a stele pavilion with the "Stele of the Names of Kaifeng Prefecture". The stele records the names and official positions of ninety-four prefects from the establishment of Kaifeng Prefecture to the present in the second year of Jiayou.

After leaving office and other circumstances, Ouyang Xiu's name has now been engraved on it.

Further forward, there is a huge stone inscribed with four "Stone Inscriptions on Precepts": "Your salary is your salary, the people support the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the gods are hard to bully."

After walking past Jie Shi Ming, we arrived at the office of Kaifeng Mansion, which is where the governor of Kaifeng Mansion issues government orders, handles government affairs, holds major events, and publicly hears important cases. Here, the yamen officer asked Li Hao to stop and asked himself

After being informed by the officials in the hall, they said goodbye to Li Hao and left.

Li Hao was waiting for the summons outside the hall. Fortunately, after a while, a man came out of the hall and led Li Hao around the lobby into the inner courtyard, where he saw Ouyang Xiu sitting at the table.

Seeing this, Li Hao saluted and said, "I am going to the Dali Temple to judge affairs. Li Hao, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, has met Mr. Fu Yin."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu said: "Master Li has just taken office today and he must work hard and serve the country."

Li Hao saluted and said: "I will keep this in mind when I am a subordinate."

Then Ouyang Xiu told the yamen: "Go and invite Wei Gongcao to come over." Then he asked Li Hao to sit down, and then said to Li Hao: "The meritorious cao is in charge of correcting, refuting, and substituting, and is in charge of official books, examinations, and furnishings. That's it.

Let him report on your work and write a record, and then let him take you around Kaifeng Mansion later."

Just as he was talking, he saw that someone had arrived. He looked like a capable man in his thirties, wearing an eighth-grade blue official robe. After entering, he bowed to Ouyang Xiu and said, "See Mr. Fu Yin."

After Ouyang Xiu excused himself from the ceremony, he said to him: "This is Lord Li, the newly appointed official of Kaifeng Mansion. Let Wei Gongcao report on his duties for him, and then take Lord Li around Kaifeng Mansion to familiarize himself with the situation."

After listening to what he said, Wei Gongcao saluted Li Hao and said, "I'm going to join you, sir."

Li Hao said: "You don't have to be polite, you still have to trouble Wei Gongcao."

Wei Gongcao said: "What are you talking about? Then please come with me, sir."

Then the two of them resigned to Ouyang Xiu and left the hall. Then Wei Gongcao took Li Hao to Gongcao and explained.

On both sides of the office are the office offices. On the left is the left hall, which is where Judge Cao's office is. It just so happens that Judge Cai has not returned from work and is not in the office. Following in order are the yamen of Gong Cao, Fa Cao, Bing Cao, and then

Behind is the Yamen of the Zuojun Xunyuan. On the right is the Right Hall, where the Lord's office is, followed by the Yamen of Cangcao, Hucao and Shicao, and behind them is the Yamen of the Youjunxunyuan. As for the Ambassador's Court

The Hefu Courtyard is next to the meeting hall behind the office.

Then he took Li Hao into the Gongcao Yamen and ordered people to register Li Hao. Then he took Li Hao to all the Yamen and introduced the chief officials of the departments present one by one. Then he walked out of the office Yamen and went to the central square to present Li Hao.

Hao introduced: "Kaifeng Mansion covers an area of ​​more than 60 acres, and there are more than 50 large and small pavilions in the government office, which demonstrates the extraordinary style of the capital of the world."

Then he introduced the newly built Qianlong Palace to Li Hao, saying that it was built by Zhao Zhen a few years ago to commemorate Song Zhenzong's former post as Kaifeng Prefecture. All the officials in charge were dispatched from the palace and were not under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

.However, being able to set up a palace within the government office is a unique blessing in the Song Dynasty.

Then we walked to the northeast corner of Kaifeng Prefecture, which is Mingliyuan, which is the examination room of Kaifeng Prefecture's rural examination. In addition, in the northwest corner, there is also a Kaifeng Prefecture school ground, where martial arts and celebrations are held. For these venues, Li Hao still

It is understandable and necessary.

But the last place he arrived at was very strange to Li Hao. He saw that the entire building was a Taoist temple, with the name Tianqing Temple engraved on it. So he asked curiously: "Why is there a Taoist temple in Kaifeng Mansion?"

After hearing this, Wei Gongcao explained: "In the past dynasties, the governors would also hold the post of merit envoys and Taoist officials. Now Ouyang also holds this position. He is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of Buddhist and Taoist officials in the country. As for heaven.

It was just an accident that Qingguan was built in Kaifeng Mansion. In the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Emperor Zhenzong ordered all prefectures and counties to build Tianqingguan. Because the capital city was prosperous, there was no land available in a hurry, so it was built in the government office.

With this temple, it is now used as a government office. Now the emperors of the Three Qing Dynasties are enshrined in the temple. I heard that it is also very efficacious. Would you like to go in and worship?"

Li Hao said: "I won't go this time. I will come back to worship Sanqing when I have time in the future. That's all the yamen in Kaifeng Mansion, right?"

Wei Gongcao said: "We have gone through all the yamen in Kaifeng Mansion. The only one we haven't gone to is the jail inside the mansion. There are three in total. One is Kaifeng Mansion Prison, which is directly managed by the Secretary of Records, and the left and right jails.

There are prisons in the military patrol courts. If you want to see them, I will lead you there."
