Yuan Zheng turned around and saw a minor official running out of the gate. He heard the sound of laughing. He looked at his face, yellow face, mouse whiskers, and a big squid on his lower jaw. His head was covered with his eight-character eyebrows, and he smiled like he was crying.

"Here you come." Yuan Zheng bowed.

The little official hurriedly smiled and introduced himself: "The youngest is Lingshi of the north house. His surname is Cao and his name is Yong. He ranks eighth. If you call me Cao Ba, you will be assigned to our north house. Today, the youngest will lead you to register and go to our courtyard."

Yuan Zheng frowned slightly and said, "The north room? Liu Shumi was assigned to him?"

The Privy Council has twelve rooms, which are in charge of twelve types of affairs. The north side of the house is in charge of Hebei Road, Hedong Road officials and soldiers, northern border defense, Guoxin Affairs, etc.

In other words, now that Youzhou has been lost, this room is also the most hit among the twelve rooms, and it should be the most idle one now.

When Cao Ba saw him stunned, he thought he didn't know what the northern room was. He smiled and explained: "Our Privy Council has twelve rooms, which are:"

He heard his mouth turn and said, "The north side of the house Hexi house is in the Beijing house school and reading house Guangxi houses, militia houses, militia houses, and horse houses, and small officials are in charge of affairs!"

After reciting, I didn’t stutter, and I memorized it thoroughly in one breath.

This man and Cui Shiyi talked about together, which is a perfect match.

Yuan Zheng smiled and reached out and said, "Please lead the way."

Cao Baying said, turned around and left with a smile.

Yuan Zheng asked casually: "Did Lord Liu send you to receive me?"

Cao Ba smiled happily, stretched out his thumb and pinched his index finger, "I am a little big little grasshopper, which is not worthy of Master Liu's discourse? The small one is responsible for the chores in our northern room. You come to the yard to record these trivial matters, so you can see my ugly face, and I am afraid you will use a bowl of rice less for lunch."

When Yuan Zheng heard that it was not someone Liu Wei arranged, he was less wary of him and said with a smile, "Cao Lingshi is really good at telling jokes."

Cao Ba's words were so much like Cui Shiyi, and continued, "You are worthy of being the master of the Yuan Mansion. You can see that your family is upright and virtuous. Anyone who sees you will laugh at me, Cao Ba'iban. I am not used to this, but I am really not used to it."

"Why are you laughing?" Yuan Zheng saw that he was really funny and asked with a smile.

Cao Ba was a little proud when he told the joke, and seemed to be proud of it. "Everyone said that I have grown my appearance that I shouldn't have grown up. It's so ugly that it's so evenly, it's rare!"

Yuan Zheng couldn't help but smile and looked at his face carefully. It was indeed ugly and could not choose a beautiful place.

After joking all the way, he had a little more favorable impression of Cao Ba. He was a person who could laugh at himself and live a comfortable life. He was not narrow-minded.

"Which room was our No. 1 pick and second pick?" Yuan Zheng asked.

"The top scholar in Wen!" Cao Ba mentioned Wen Zhun's eyes were shining, and his face was full of worship, "The emperor ordered him to be in the Beijing room. He is the second best person..."

He smiled and said, "He was assigned to the Hexi Room."

When Yuan Zheng heard him mention Xiang Kuohai, his tone was different from the accuracy of the text. He pretended not to understand and asked, "Which one of these two rooms is better?"

Cao Ba rats trembled, "Everything is good, all is good! In front of the Jingfang Zhenxing Hall, the army officers, the army officers, the army officers, and the matters of the Imperial City Office.

"Hexi Fang is in charge of Shaanxi Road, Lin, Fu, Feng, Lan, Shi, Xizhou, Baode military officials, western border defenses, and foreign officials. One is the important area of ​​the capital and the other is the border defense gate, which is good!"

Although he concluded that it was good, Yuan Zheng heard the difference. In the two places under the jurisdiction of the Beijing House, the Palace Front Office and the Imperial City Office, the actual power was in the hands of the Tanghou, and the Privy Council was just working together to do all the weapons, count the soldiers and horses to do these false jobs.

However, the Hexi House where Xiang Kuohai is located is in charge of the real power to dispatch troops and deploy troops and make defenses.

Yuan Zheng sneered in his heart, and as he spoke, he went to the yard of the north room. Under Cao Ba's leadership, he looked around inside and out, and greeted all his colleagues and returned to his public housing.

The public housing is not big, with several rows of bookshelves on the back, and a desk in front is his office.

Yuan Zheng looked around and stood firmly under the words "Northern Defense" and saw the last volume of the book half-covered, and reached out to take it down.

"...Lin Jiuyuan led 50,000 troops to Youzhou to cooperate with the Northern Army to resolve the siege of the Northern Barbarians..."

The record has been recorded so far, and there is no further information.

He gently dusted the ashes on his head and sighed.

Cao Ba kept watching his movements quietly and suddenly said, "I heard that the Fourth Master has been to Youzhou?"

Yuan Zheng put the booklet back to its original place, "Yes."

"The Northern Barbarians are really powerful?" Cao Ba asked.

For the people of Daliang, the Lin family army was destroyed by the Beiman.

Yuan Zheng couldn't help but sneer, "Whether it is a good thing to dig your own grave, or Daliang."

Cao Ba looked a little weird, "Fourth Master, have you ever seen General Lin?"

Yuan Zheng lowered his eyes and said for a while: "I haven't seen it."

Cao Ba moved his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped, but he still didn't speak.

At noon, Cao Ba came over again and led him to the kitchen, while introducing: "Lunch is based on the token of entry and exit. Each level has its own procedures. You can eat it in the dining hall or take it back to our room by yourself. If you are busy and have no time to come over, you can ask the younger one to bring it back to you."

Yuan Zheng was grateful to him for his words now, so he could understand the operation of the northern room and the Privy Council.

His position in the north room is in charge, and he is the highest-level one. There are three people at the same level as him.

In addition to Liu Wei, he also has a head above him, one of the three deputy envoys of the Privy Council. He had dealt with him before, named Ma Dawei, and was Liu Wei's confidant. He has not seen him yet.

The Privy Council has a large area and many people, and there are five such kitchens. Yuan Zheng and the others are the largest. As soon as they enter the door, they see a long queue inside.

Some recognized Yuan Zheng and greeted him with a smile, while others did not recognize him, and they all looked at him curiously.

The man in front reached out to greet him from the team, "Yuan Si!"

When Yuan Zheng saw that the person standing in line with cranes standing majestic as if they were not Wen Zhun, who was it?

Yuan Zheng went over to say hello to him, Wen Zhun leaned over and whispered: "I'll wait for me in the back porch later, and I have something to say to you."

Yuan Zheng was slightly stunned, and Wen Zhun had already walked along the team.

Yuan Zheng received his lunch, beef meatballs, chicken glutinous eggplant, crispy fish slices, plus three side dishes, and the portion was pretty good.

He took the food bowl and left Cao Ba and walked back alone.

There is a long corridor behind it, facing several large banyan trees. The branches and leaves of the banyan trees are covered with eaves, covering the corridor with more shade.

However, it was noon, and the heat on the ground kept fluttering up. There was no one else here except for the accurate text.

Yuan Zheng walked to Wen Zhun's side, "Is there anything third master?"
Chapter completed!
