Wanyan Lu, the chief envoy of Hunan, arrived at the provincial border yesterday.
Liu Lin, the inspector-general, rushed to the reception pavilion in front of the provincial border three days in advance.
Admiral of Hunan is just a private name in Changsha officialdom. His official title is actually Admiral of Huguang.
Erunte, the admiral of Huguang, did not want to come at all. But because the soldiers in Zhenyu (gān) were rioting over pay, he was afraid of Yuzhu's impeachment, so he had no choice but to come.
In order to maintain the authority of the feudal officials, as usual, as long as the governor issues bullets to impeach lower-level officials, the court will approve them.
Erlente is a bannerman, and Yuzhu is a great nobleman among the bannermen. It is conceivable that Yuzhu must have the military rank of admiral.
The military rank of admiral can only supervise officers at or below the rank of commander-in-chief, but not the head of Erlente.
However, Erlente never expected that Yuzhu would be given military power to control the military attachés of the province, including him.
Not only that, I also rewarded Yuzhu with a very deadly thing: the Yibilong Sword.
To put it bluntly, with this knife in his hand, the lives of the commander-in-chief, deputy generals and generals under Erlente were all in the palm of Yuzhu's hand.
When Yuzhu is in a bad mood, he can find an excuse for a military emergency and kill a disobedient commander to establish his authority. Who can bear this?
Just when the officials were waiting impatiently, suddenly a fast horse rushed up to Wanyan Lu, got off the horse, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Master Fantai, Master Futai's guard of honor has passed the sheep."
The building cave is about to cross the provincial border."
"Watch the reward and then repay." Wanyan Lu couldn't help but feel refreshed. Yuzhu was finally here.
Even though Admiral Huguang is a first-class military general, in the current era when the civilized elite and the military are humble, his actual status is far inferior to that of the Chief Envoy Wan Yanlu and the Inspector Liu Lin, let alone compared with the governor Yuzhu.
To put it bluntly, when Wanyan Lu and Liu Lin were present, it was not Errent's turn to speak freely.
After waiting for more than half an hour, "When..." I suddenly heard the sound of the thirteen gongs.
Wanyan Lu quickly straightened his clothes and stood beside the official road in a very orderly manner.
Inspector Liu Lin glanced at Wanyan Lu who was acting pretentious, but said nothing and silently stood beside Wanyan Lu.
All the officials in Hunan were arranged neatly according to their rank to welcome the arrival of their immediate superiors.
"Dang..." Accompanied by the crisp sound of gongs, eight pairs of avoidance and silence cards appeared on the official road, and then a tall horse appeared. On the horse's hand, Goshiha raised a gold-plated official title card high.
Liu Lin's eyesight was not good, and Wanyan Lu not only saw it clearly, but he actually read out loud: "In the 45th year of Kangxi's reign, the first place in Bingxu Enke Palace Examination was awarded the title of Jinshi. Alas, this is the examination hall
He’s from a good family background.”
Liu Lin was so angry that her lips trembled. How could he not know that Wan Yanlu was deliberately using Yuzhu's fame to secretly disparage him?
Alas, there is no way, Liu Lin is a judicial officer, so naturally she is much shorter than Yuzhu, who is a successful Jinshi in the imperial examination.
I haven't seen the shadow of the eight-carriage sedan yet, and the prominent official title plates appear one after another, which is dizzying.
I saw, under the warm sunshine, the gilded official titles of Marquis of Yong Yi of the Third Class, Right Minister of the Ministry of War, Right Deputy Censor of the Imperial Palace, and Governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications under the warm sunshine.
After the ceremony was more than halfway over, a large green cloth sedan with eight berths appeared in front of everyone, surrounded by the soldiers.
"Get off the sedan." Following Wu Jiang's long shout, the official sedan slowly settled down.
The curtain of the official sedan was lifted up, and Yuzhu stepped out of the official sedan and stood on the ground.
"The Chief Envoy of Hunan, Wanyan Lu, humbles his position and leads the provincial officials and gentry to pay homage to Mr. Futai." Wanyan Lu bowed to the ground and bowed respectfully.
Liu Lin also bowed her head and saluted.
Erlente originally wanted to imitate their behavior, bow his head and salute, and do some perfunctory activities, that's all.
It was a pity that Ma Rui, the commander-in-chief of Yueyang Town, who was standing behind Erlente, had particularly sharp eyes. He had already seen the Yibilong knife held in Zhou Quan's hand.
"Commander-in-Chief of Yueyang Town, I bid you Ma Rui and pray for peace in the army." Ma Rui cleverly chose to salute with Zha Qian.
According to the conventions in the officialdom, civil and military professions have different rules for addressing each other.
Civil servants in Hunan Province, on formal occasions, must follow the name of the chief envoy Wanyan Lu and call Yuzhu "Master Futai".
Under normal circumstances, an officer like Ma Rui would respectfully address Yuzhu as Master Fujun.
Errent only hesitated for a moment, but Wanyan Lu had already approached Yuzhu and said affectionately: "Master Futai, it was really hard work on the saddle and horse along the way."
With this delay, Erlente was immediately squeezed out of the crowd and seemed particularly out of place.
At this time, the jade pillar was like the sun, tightly wrapped in countless sunflowers.
It is no exaggeration to say that no matter who Yuzhu looked at at this moment, he was greeted with a bright smile.
Amidst the sound of cannons and cannons in praise, the jade pillars stood in the middle, facing south and facing north. Officials from Hunan Province, led by Wanyan Lu, knelt in front of the jade pillars.
Logically speaking, Yuzhu should have arrived in front of the reception pavilion outside Changsha Mansion before announcing his decree in public.
However, Yuzhu did not have that much time to accompany the bureaucrats in circles and detours.
After the official decree is issued, Yuzhu can legitimately take over the military and political power of Hunan. This is the key point.
"The cabinet has issued an edict..." Yuzhu finished reciting the decree appointing him as governor of Pianyuan, and ordered someone to bring out the newly cast silver seal of the Ministry of Personnel.
Wanyan Lu and Liu Lin were both old officials. When they saw the new silver seal, they knew one thing: Hunan's officialdom was about to suffer a major earthquake.
Old officials all know that the new governor usually takes over the official seal from the previous governor.
If the imperial court casts a new official seal, it means that the imperial court is very dissatisfied with the officials in Hunan and hints at a major change of blood.
After the official welcome procedures were carried out without fail, dozens of Hunan officials took advantage of the situation to surround Yuzhu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Master Fuyuan, since Huguang was divided into provinces, all the scholars in Hunan must rush to Wuchang to participate in the college examination and the provincial examination. Not only is the distance long, but also
The financial burden is so huge that it makes the scholars in Tong Province miserable."
"Yes, yes, Lord Futai, you don't know something. I, the scholars in Hunan Province, have been suffering from Wuchang Prefecture for a long time."
After Yuzhu heard this, he couldn't help laughing or crying.
Originally, Yuzhu thought it was just an ordinary squire's complaint.
Unexpectedly, dozens of candidates knelt down to him and handed over thousands of words of love.
Yuzhu didn't read the love letter, but he already understood it in his heart.
In the third year of Kangxi's reign, after Huguang was divided into provinces, the quotas for talents and candidates in Huguang were not divided into provinces and were still mixed together.
In other words, Pianyuan and Huguang have been divided into two provinces, but scholars in Pianyuan who want to take the scholar examination or be elected must go to Huguang Gongyuan in Wuchang Prefecture.
Looking at people's petitions, the request is actually very simple. It is to build a new Hunan Gongyuan Academy, apply for the imperial court to send Hunan to study politics, and allow scholars from all over the province to go directly to Changsha Prefecture to take the exam.
However, what seems to be a matter of course for Hunan people is almost impossible to do in Yuzhu's hands.
You must know that Yuzhu is the governor with military power and will return to the capital sooner or later.
Holding the jade pillar of an elite soldier in his hand, if he did such an act of inviting fame, he would be praised by scholars in Hunan as the Buddha of all families.
Hehe, what would Kangxi think of him?
You can't have your cake and eat it too. There's always a trade-off between reputation and military power.
However, Yuzhu knew it was the same thing in his heart, but on the surface, he still needed to deal with it.
Even if this cannot be done, Yuzhu cannot cause fire and burn himself.
If the scholars in Hunan thought that Yuzhu was unwilling to help, they would be in big trouble.
As the saying goes, good things never go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
The public opinion of this era is actually in the hands of scholars.
It is said that word of mouth makes a fortune. In the circle of scholars, word of mouth spreads, and even a gentleman will become extremely stinky.
Yuzhu cannot seek fame in vain, but his reputation is so bad that it will indirectly affect Kangxi's opinion.
The consequences of offending scholars, look at Yongzheng who spread his family around, what else don't you understand?
As soon as Yuzhu entered the provincial border of Hunan, he was surrounded by the people. Obviously, behind this matter, there must be the support of the entire Hunan Province's high-ranking officials.
To put it bluntly, without the support of the Chief Envoy Wan Yanlu, the people would not even be able to see Yuzhu's face, let alone surround Yuzhu and submit a petition.
Yuzhu's kind face comforted the senior officials. After all, he had not yet arrived in Changsha to officially take office, so it was understandable.
After boarding the sedan again, Yuzhu's eight-carrying sedan, surrounded by his subordinates, marched toward Changsha Mansion in a mighty manner.
From Linxiang County on the border of Hunan Province to Changsha Prefecture, it is about 360 miles.
However, since he arrived in Yuzhu's territory, he would carry out his orders as soon as he had the power.
Due to the increased speed, Yuzhu arrived at Changsha Mansion in only eight days.
The Yamen of the Governor of Pianyuan is located in the Youth Palace of Youyi Village, Kaifu District.
As usual, when a governor comes to take office in Changsha, he must enter through the Zodiac Gate. The Zodiac Gate is the south gate of the old city of Changsha.
Unlike other governors, Yuzhu has many titles.
According to the bad custom in the officialdom, in order to show official prestige, one should have as many official title cards as there are titles.
When Yuzhu entered the city, all the pedestrians and vendors on the street were in bad luck. They were either dispersed or knelt down by the roadside.
In this era of cannibalism, the governor of a province can definitely decide the fate of any official or civilian in the province.
The former governor Pan Zongluo, relying on his support in the court, did not take Yuzhu seriously.
Therefore, Pan Zongluo did not even go to greet him outside the city.
After Yuzhu got off the official sedan, he met Pan Zongluo and greeted him in front of the governor's Yamen.
Since Pan Zongluo looked down on Yuzhu, why should Yuzhu be polite to him?
After Yuzhu returned the gift, he shouted loudly: "The sinner Pan Zongluo accepts the order!"
Pan Zongluo didn't expect that his big backer in Beijing would not protect him. He was dumbfounded and panicked on the spot.
Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to Pan Zongluo, who was stunned by fright. He walked straight into the lobby of the governor's Yamen and stood in the middle, facing south and facing north.
"Come here, take off the hood of the criminal Pan Zongluo, put it in a prison car, and take him to the Criminal Department of the capital." After Yuzhu issued the decree, he pretended not to see Pan Zongluo's pleading eyes and directly ordered the arrest.
"Hey." Niu Tai waved his hand, and the soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, swarmed up and captured Pan Zongluo in the blink of an eye.
