When Wu Shigong was walking back to his new house, he always felt as if his father-in-law Xue Lian couldn't wait to push him into this position. His feeling was not wrong, he had so urgently pushed his son-in-law to this position.
Xue Lian did have many reasons for being promoted to the position of acting commander of the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department. They can be summarized as follows:
First of all, Xue Lian couldn't hold on any longer. A full month has passed since the big explosion in Wanggong Factory. As for Nancheng, one of the most serious areas where the disaster occurred, its commander was injured.
Able to be a director. The deputy commander in charge of the Nancheng disaster-stricken area was killed in the explosion. In fact, these two positions have been vacant for a month. The Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department is now leaderless and really needs to arrange a helmsman immediately.
.So, Xue Lian’s arrangement was: first, let his son-in-law Wu Shigong occupy the position of deputy commander. And let the commander keep his position, but he could recuperate at home and occupy this position. Then let his son-in-law Wu Shigong occupy this position.
Act as commander first. After his son-in-law Wu Shigong is familiar with the situation of the Military and Horse Division, he will let the sick commander go. At that time, his son-in-law Wu Shigong will be able to naturally assume the command position. This idea is very good, but Xue Lian
He couldn't delay it indefinitely. He had to give the Ministry of War an explanation. One month ago, it could be said that Xue Lian's son-in-law was not able to take office for the time being because he had to attend a wedding. But now that he is married, he can't
You can go even further and ask your son-in-law to finish his honeymoon before taking office.
Secondly, Xue Lian really needs the help of the Military and Horse Command Department. Xue Lian now has no money and no one, and the disaster relief work cannot be carried out at all. If his son-in-law takes the position of acting commander of the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department, even if
It's because he no longer has the ability to completely control the situation of the Nancheng Army and Horse Command Department; no matter how busy the Nancheng Army and Horse Command Department is with its business and the manpower is tight. Under his own request, the Nancheng Army and Horse Command Department can always
Squeeze out some manpower to alleviate your immediate needs and carry out some disaster relief work.
In fact, the first two reasons are not the most important. Xue Lian has the confidence and ability to delay the appointment of his son-in-law for another seven or eight days. By then, he will be able to arrange the manpower to assist him.
Qi, he could also greet the backers of the leaders of the Nancheng Army and Horse Command Department, basically straighten out the relationship between the Army and Horse Department, and then send his son-in-law to take office safely. But now a more important problem has occurred.
That is, political needs. Xue Lian needed his son-in-law Wu Shigong to take office immediately. In fact, regardless of objective reasons, Xue Lian also knew that his disaster relief work was a mess. In the previous month, several censors had already done something for Xue Lian.
Several memorials were written to impeach Xue Lian for his poor disaster relief, but Wei Zhongxian suppressed them all. But yesterday, Wei Zhongxian called Xue Lian, personally inquired about the progress of the disaster relief and explained the reasons to Xue Lian. It turned out that Wei Zhongxian
I learned from Dongchang that in the past few days, civil servants have been actively circling to launch a big storm and take advantage of the ineffective disaster relief to violently attack Xue Lian, the disaster relief commander-in-chief, and Wei Zhongxian, his backstage general, and win over
Knock them to the ground, and then step on ten thousand feet. Xue Lian is not afraid of this storm, because it is not the first time he has been attacked by civil servants, and he is not worried that Wei Zhongxian and his own status will be shaken by this, because as long as they
If they gain the emperor's trust, then their position will be as secure as Mount Tai. However, they must also give the emperor a decent reason! What Xue Lian adopted was a trick of hard work and no credit. Look, Xue Lian was at the scene of the disaster every day.
, Going out early and coming back late, isn’t that hard work? Look, Xue Lian got drunk on the night of her daughter’s wedding, but summoned officials for a meeting the next morning, isn’t that hard work? Look, Xue Lian was drunk
Lian let his son-in-law take office on the fourth day of his marriage, and went into battle like Weng's son-in-law, and rushed to the front line of disaster relief with his son-in-law. Isn't that hard work? This is definitely a good deal for the emperor.
reasons.
Based on the above reasons, Xue Lian hurriedly appointed Wu Shigong to take office.
Of course Wu Shigong felt that his father-in-law Xue Lian's behavior was abnormal, so he was a little worried about his father-in-law. However, he did not expect that a large chessboard had been set up in the court, with the civil servants group, the eunuchs, and the noble group.
The two sides will fight to the death on this chessboard. He did not expect that he had unknowingly become a pawn on this chessboard. It was just his little worry about his father-in-law.
, and soon drowned in the great joy of obtaining the official position.
Wu Shigong walked up to the steps of the gate of the small courtyard where he lived, walked to the highest point of the gate, and looked in the direction of the sun. After traveling through time, more than half a month had passed, and even after the most important event in life, marriage
However, Wu Shigong’s identity is basically that of a soy sauce gangster. He spends every day peacefully and does not think about tomorrow’s things and the day after tomorrow. But starting from today, his life has changed.
To achieve his goal, he will start a new life course. This is also the first day of his second life in a real sense after time travel. He opened his arms and shouted loudly in the direction of the sun, just like he did in his previous life.
Once he went out to fight with gangsters who were a few years ahead of him. After beating the gangsters to pieces, he screamed with the same cry as his nose and eyes were swollen. But he didn't know that his future life journey would be to the readers.
It was so wonderful; for him, it was a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. He didn’t even know that once he embarked on his life journey, he would never look back. If he knew this
If anything, he will immediately teleport to his room, throw those official seals and official robes into the toilet that the two maids are fighting over, and then huddle in his room and enjoy a stable life.
Yes, he hugs his wife every day, teases and teases the maid, the soy sauce of happiness.
Full of confidence, Wu Shigong turned around and took the first step down the steps, walking energetically towards his new house. This was a small step for him personally, but it was a big step for the author.
Because what makes the author extremely proud is that the author has successfully made so many smart readers read more than 50,000 words (just kidding to liven up the atmosphere. But a small spoiler, strictly speaking, Wu Shigong
The excitement of life can only really unfold after the second volume leaves the capital. The first volume can only be said to be a very large preface).
Wu Shigong entered the room and saw the official seal, official robes and official boots on the table in the room. Wu Shigong picked up the official seal and turned it over and over with relish. Looking at the official seal, which was not even half the size of a palm, Wu Shigong thought
:What is this? This is my favorite thing in my life!
The official seal and official robe were sent over by Xue Qiang and a man named Xue Yong. Hearing Zhu Yun on the side say that they were still waiting outside the yard, so Wu Shigong didn't bother to vomit with Xue Qiang and walked out again
I found the two of them in the yard and asked them the questions in my heart without shame. And first of all, I finally understood one thing, agency means agent.
After listening to the introductions of Xue Qiang and Xue Yong, he learned that the commander of the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department was injured, so although he was now the deputy commander, he had the power to act as commander temporarily. This official seal was also given to him temporarily while he was acting.
Regardless of whether he is temporary or not, he is still the leader! The real saying is: as long as you have a good father-in-law, who will have to suffer the pain of studying? Wu Shigong sighed in his heart: He really has a good marriage!
However, Xue Qiang and the others couldn't say anything else. Xue Qiang and the others were Xue Lian's personal soldiers. They were not strangers to the Military and Horse Command Department, but they were not familiar with it. They only knew that the Military and Horse Command Department mainly engaged in catching thieves.
, putting out fires, maintaining law and order, and guarding city gates. Let’s not talk about guarding city gates (actually, Wu Shigong made another empiricist error here. In the Ming Dynasty, guarding city gates was the most important and most lucrative job.
). His role is just like the current Nancheng Public Security Chief and Fire Chief (temporarily, of course). Unexpectedly, with this time travel, he, the boss of the police, would be cleared from the wrong.
Since he couldn't ask any more questions, Wu Shigong asked them to go back first. Suddenly, he remembered something, returned to the house, found a hundred taels of silver from his box, handed it to the two of them, and asked Xue Qiang to lead the way.
, send the money to Sun Chengxiu. In the past few days, I have been so busy that I almost forgot about this matter. Don't starve your good friend to death.
Wu Shigong returned to the house and picked up the official seal again and never tired of it. Xue Yufei, who was sitting next to him, found it particularly funny when he saw him playing with the official seal. Wu Shigong saw his wife sitting next to him and laughing very playfully.
He also smiled and asked Xue Yufei casually: "Does Fei'er know what the Military and Horse Command Department does?"
After hearing Wu Shigong's question, Xue Yufei put away her smile and answered seriously: "I don't know about me, but I have a relative who is the deputy commander of the Xicheng Military and Horse Command Department. If my husband wants to ask, I can find him."
Come."
This made Wu Shigong interested, but then he learned that the relative was the second uncle of Xue Yufei's cousin-in-law. This relationship was too far away. Besides, he was going to take office tomorrow, so where could he find his cousin-in-law in such a short period of time?
Second uncle? There is no big brother in this era. However, it’s good to keep this thread, maybe it will be used in the future. After thanking Xue Yufei, Wu Shigong decided to ask Master Zhang. But Master Zhang had already been with Xue Lian
He was out. So Wu Shigong called Shumo over and asked him to keep an eye on him and tell him if Master Zhang came back. Shumo had been free for the past two days and was afraid that his young master would abandon him.
So she stayed in her room feeling uneasy like a resentful woman. After listening to the young master's instructions, she quickly accepted the task happily.
But until after dinner, Shu Mo reported that Master Zhang had not come back. Forget it, let’s wait until he takes office tomorrow. That night, Wu Shigong was very excited and had a crazy third night with Xue Yufei. The next day, Xue Yufei was simply crazy
I can't get out of bed. The two words "power and color" and "power and color" are indeed inseparable.
In the early morning, Wu Shigong, who was in great spirits, wore an official robe and carried the official seal in his arms and went out. Before leaving, Xue Yufei gently stuffed her purse into Wu Shigong's arms. Zhu Yun said to Wu Shigong at the side: "My uncle ordered me the address of the shop.
"My slave has already copied it and put it in her purse." Xiu Zhu, who was standing aside, felt indignant. Wasn't it me who served you last night? Zhu Yun, you came so early. Your ugly appearance of fighting for favor makes me despise you.
Xue Qiang and Xue Yong had been waiting at the door with their horses for a long time. Wu Shigong suddenly found that Shu Mo was also waiting aside. Wu Shigong asked Shu Mo strangely: "Why are you here?"
Shu Mo carefully replied: "The young one is the young master's personal servant. When the young master becomes an official, he needs someone to serve him." While talking, Shu Mo looked at Wu Shigong's face, for fear that he would be unhappy.
There was not much more than him, so Wu Shigong mounted the horse and waved, asking Shu Mo to follow. Xue Qiang stepped aside and rode on the same horse as Shu Mo. As soon as the horse started running, Wu Shigong did not grasp the center of gravity well, and was so close
He fell off the horse. Wu Shigong didn't know how to ride a horse at all. The reason why there was no problem on the wedding day was because Xue Qiang was holding the horse and walking slowly. Fortunately, Wu Shigong was pretty good at riding a horse and gradually mastered the trick of riding a horse.
The horse was also able to trot.
Xue Mansion is not far from the Yamen of Nancheng Military and Horse Command, and they arrived within a quarter of an hour. But in such a short period of time, Wu Shigong was already sweating profusely from the stimulation of the horse. At the door, all the households of more than 100 households
The officials had all arrived. When they saw Wu Shigong's arrival, they all stepped forward to salute to greet him.
After Wu Shigong returned the gift, everyone welcomed him into the door. After walking through the school grounds, they welcomed Wu Shigong into the lobby. Wu Shigong sat down after the big case in the middle of the lobby, put his official seal on the big case, picked up the roster on the side, and started
Wu Shigong clicked the button in a decent manner. Wu Shigong didn't know about this rule at first. This was what Xue Yong told him yesterday. Wu Shigong put three deputy commanders, one official and fifteen households one by one in a decent manner.
Everyone is here.
Wu Shigong was very satisfied. He put down the list and was about to give a passionate speech. But at this moment, a man from a hundred households below suddenly said: "Commander Wu, we have finished ordering. It is not too early now, brothers."
Go to work."
There is a thorn in the side! But before Wu Shigong could figure out the situation, Ruan Xiong said on his behalf: "Business matters are important, so let's let it all go."
After hearing this, all the officials dispersed without waiting for Wu Shigong's reaction. Zhou Shikun hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wu Shigong, and left the lobby. Now in the lobby, except for Wu Shigong and the four of them, the only ones left were
He found the official named Xu. Wu Shigong looked at the three people he had brought with him. Xue Qiang had a mocking look on his face, looking like he was watching the fun;
"Shu Mo has the best attitude and his face turns red with anger, but he is also the most useless and can't be of much use."
Wu Shigong suppressed his anger again and turned to look at the official Xu, who was in his forties, thin, with a goatee, and was a little timid when facing his own gaze. Wu Shigong was actually angry.
He laughed and said to Official Xu, "Could this be the legendary show of force?" The hall was quiet.
No one thought that Wu Shigong, who came to make soy sauce, would bring such huge changes to the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department.
