After Guanglu Temple, the Nancheng Army and Horse Department was also wiped out from top to bottom?
Ah Liu had been fighting in Nancheng for a few days, and after getting such a general situation list and discovering the deep darkness that shrouded the people in Nancheng, Zhang Shou also wanted to do this, but the problem was that the reason why he suggested
Such a royal chef selection meeting is because there have been too many big and small things happening in the court recently, so the attention has been diverted, not to continue to cause trouble!
Sending a Fourth Master Wang to the Wanping County Government could be said to be because he himself was almost caught as a runaway slave, so he adopted the principle of reciprocal retaliation. However, if the scope of the purge was expanded to include the Nancheng Army and Horses Division,
... Wasn't the diversion of attention before was in vain? The bosses in the court will suddenly realize, oh, what chef selection competition, it is a drunkard's intention and not the wine!
They are totally looking for trouble with the Nancheng Army and Horses Division!
Therefore, Zhang Shou not only used the metaphor of boiling a frog in warm water to calm Zhu Ying's anger, but also informed the young lady of another matter - needless to say, it was Hua Qi who told Zhu Tingfang to come back and take charge of the Nancheng Army.
Ma Si, by the way, promoted the command of troops and horses to the fourth rank. Sure enough, when he reluctantly said that Hua Qi was framed for upgrading, Zhu Ying immediately raised her eyebrows.
"Uncle Hua, how could you do this! Ah Shou, you are right. It is not appropriate for the Nancheng Military and Horse Division to move immediately. I will go into the palace and tell the emperor! Well, if it is too late to turn back, I will live directly with Concubine Yu in Yonghe Palace.
Now, you don’t have to worry about me!”
Seeing that Zhu Ying was about to leave immediately, Zhang Shou suddenly felt a little sorry. He couldn't help but squeezed Zhu Ying's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not go shopping without telling you again."
.Waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, our birthdays, we will go there together to join in the fun!"
"Okay!" Zhu Ying smiled happily. Then she glanced at the two people's tightly clasped hands and whispered, "I originally wanted to discuss Xie Wanquan's matter with you, but that damn fat guy Lu Sanlang actually took me
If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him. This matter has already been revealed. But it doesn't matter anyway, I will talk to you later!"
"Then we'll talk about it when we have free time!" Zhang Shou originally used this matter to embarrass Lu Wan, but he was not so anxious - he himself was still a bachelor and was in charge of Xie Wanquan's life-long affairs. He was not so leisurely yet.
!
When the orderer notified Zhu Hong and others, he sent Zhu Ying to the gate. Seeing her jumping on horseback, her gorgeous figure in red dress gradually disappeared from sight surrounded by people, Zhang Shou was relieved.
He rubbed his brows lightly, and then counted with his fingers how many days were left on August 15th. Even though he could calculate it casually, this kind of ritualistic calculation made him feel a little embarrassed.
Well, there are still four days...and this seems to be the fifth Mid-Autumn Festival he has spent in this world. Counting the first three, only Wu and Aunt Liu were busy making mooncakes, which was a somewhat lonely Mid-Autumn Festival and birthday.
Ever since he met Zhu Ying, he seemed to have lived a lively and exciting life every day, let alone his birthday. Compared with the slowness of living in the countryside, it really passed very fast.
Zhu Ying came out of Zhang Garden and hurriedly entered the palace without returning to Zhao Guogong's mansion. To some people who were watching Zhang Shou all the time, this was a sign of another big storm. For example, the great scholar of Confucius believed that Zhang Shou
The one who was the best at stirring up troubles even asserted to his disciples, relatives and friends that after Guanglu Temple, the next one to be purged would most likely be the Nancheng Army and Horses Division.
As for the replacement manpower... As long as the emperor is willing, there are many people in Ruiqiying who can be used. What's more, Zhang Shou once had so many students in Banshan Hall who were of noble background, but they were not valued at home in the past. Maybe they will be given to students again. Seeking welfare?
Just like the past few days, many students of Jiuzhang Hall were buried in the account book hill of Guanglu Temple!
However, in the morning court the next day, the emperor seemed not to know about the case that happened in Nancheng. Not to mention asking specifically, there was not even a hint. Magistrate Yashen of Wanping County, who happened to come to court, suddenly felt that his heart was like a Hanging in the middle, neither up nor down. Just when the whole court meeting was almost over, he finally waited for the emperor's voice.
"By the way, Wanping County Magistrate Shen Qing will stay here for a while. I have something to tell you."
A lot of Taiwanese admonishers who failed to play a role in the post-abolition matter had just held back for a long time at the court meeting, but they did not wait for the emperor or others to talk about the incident in Nancheng yesterday. Now the emperor finally opened his mouth, but only left After seeing Magistrate Shen, a young and impatient censor suddenly couldn't hold himself back and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that yesterday at the Xinglong Teahouse in Nancheng..."
Before he could finish his words, he was blocked by the emperor's barrage of words.
"I heard that the Xinglong Tea House case has been transferred to Wanping County Government. You are a dignified censor and have countless things to deal with. How could you suddenly pay attention to such a case where the witnesses and physical evidence are solid and the people of Nancheng are so angry? ?If you want to ask, go back and go directly to Wanping County Yamen to ask Shen Qing, don't waste time at the court meeting!"
The emperor actually said the word "waste of time". Not to mention the censor who thought he was a strong-willed man was dumbfounded. Even those who heard the news last night believed that Zhang Shou was going to cause trouble, so they invited his fiancée Zhu Ying into the palace to lobby the emperor. The people who made the decision were also greatly surprised. Why did the emperor have such an attitude?
"As officials of the imperial court, you all claim to be busy and diligent people, so why are you all so idle? Zhang Shou asked someone to play the music. He thought it was just a coincidence that he met a few flower-shooting parties who were very interested in hunting, so he just took it easy. Except for them, who would have known that a series of people would be caught by following the clues, and one of them is a tyrant in Nancheng, who needs to be interrogated as soon as possible to give the suffering owner justice."
"Why, listening to your tone, I feel that there is still room for further investigation into this case, so I want to remonstrate with you to eliminate all evil responsibilities?"
When the emperor said this, his face was full of seriousness, and his solemn tone could not help but make the imperial censor turn pale.
How could he advise the emperor to get rid of his evil deeds... He wanted to advise the emperor bitterly not to build prisons continuously, which would cause the capital to be in turmoil, but who knew that in the end he was defeated by an army!
In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and said: "That's not what I meant. What I want to say is that since it is an unexpected case, we should discuss the matter as it is and not want to be implicated, so as not to..."
"When Zhang Shou asked someone to tell the story, he said that it's just the traitors among the people who have done a lot of evil. They just need to be investigated and dealt with strictly. What does it mean to discuss the matter based on the situation and not to be implicated?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and then his voice became extremely stern, "Someone said Are you planning to use this matter to implicate others? Who is being implicated? Or, have you heard rumors about someone colluding with these traitors, eh?"
At this moment, I don’t know how many people looked at the unlucky censor with sympathetic eyes - even the Bachelor of Confucius. Of course, there were countless people who were happy. After all, the censor used the pain to The lessons learned have saved others from thunder!
But who would have thought that Zhang Shou actually planned to stop there, and the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of getting involved?
The deep quagmire in Nancheng, even if the big guys don't pay attention to it on weekdays, how can they hide it once they pay attention? It's like pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud, it's a mess, and the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Department is even worse. It's like a puddle of mud, but it's much worse than that of Guanglu Temple. How could the emperor, who never liked being in mud, be able to endure it?
Even though the ministers were curious and surprised, in the emperor's fierce questioning, no one stood up and followed in the footsteps of the unlucky censor. Therefore, the unlucky man could only do things for one person and kowtow without the crown. Dare to say more. Although the emperor did not continue to pursue the question, everyone knew that this censor, who had not been able to harden his iron bones, had ruined both his fame and fortune.
Seeing the courtiers retreating one after another, Magistrate Shen, who had just been named by the emperor to stay, suddenly felt anxious.
Although the emperor seemed to have said that he would not be implicated, the case was sent to his Wanping County Yamen, and all the prisoners were sent to the prison of Wanping County Yamen, and all the victims were with him. In the past, the Shuntian Mansion Yamen was blamed for all major events. How could he not be under great pressure? At this moment, everyone had left, and he did not dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He could only lower his head and ask: "The emperor has something to inquire about."
"Don't worry, I won't bother you to ask about the progress of such an ironclad case."
The emperor looked at the throne that was lying on all sides, and wanted to yawn lazily, but in the end he held it back because of years of imperial education, and then said earnestly, "The reason why Wanping County in Daxing divided the capital into two is because Gyeonggi is too big and important, so that you can use your heart, not just to decentralize power, otherwise it will not be the county magistrate in the world, only Jingxian is the sixth grade, do you understand?"
Magistrate Shen was a little stunned. What did the emperor mean by this? Why did he suddenly mention the rank? And when he heard the emperor's next words, he was as if he had been hit in the head with gold, and he was stunned.
"Although Jingxian County has the sixth rank, which is higher than other seventh-rank county magistrates, it is lower than the local magistrates of the fifth rank. Therefore, when Emperor Taizu was there, he tried his best to Against all objections, all positions such as Doctor of the Imperial College were set at a relatively high level to show that the country is a nurturing scholar. Similarly, important positions such as the magistrate of Jingxian County were once in the fifth rank."
County Magistrate Shen is not the kind of capable person who is young and powerful, has good qualifications, and is envied by many colleagues. He is already in his early forties and has spent eight years pulling a broken cart to steadily rise to this position, and he still has a He had such an unfavorable title as Jiangge's old disciple, so when faced with the pie falling from the sky, his reaction seemed slow and confused.
He didn't even know how to respond to what the emperor said. It took him a long time to hold back his answer: "Emperor Taizu is far-sighted and I have always respected him."
He regretted it as soon as he said it. Isn't it nonsense? How many people in the world don't respect Emperor Taizu?
But the emperor didn't seem to care about Magistrate Shen's nonsense. He smiled slightly and said calmly: "So, within a few days, I will restore the old system of Emperor Taizu, reset Wanping, and make the two magistrates of Daxing the official." Fifth grade. Oh, not only the capital city, but Nanjing also applies it. The two county magistrates of Shangyuan and Jiangning are all full fifth grade."
Magistrate Shen felt like his whole body was trembling. In the officialdom, the fifth rank is a hurdle, and the third rank is another hurdle, especially for the officials in the capital than the local officials. It is even difficult for local officials to return to court with the fifth rank at the same level. Appointed in the ranks of Beijing officials. For example, even for a sixth-rank Jing County magistrate like him, it will be equally difficult to be promoted to the fifth rank in the future.
Many times, he can only go out to guard the roads or patrol the roads, and then look around to see if there are any suitable opportunities.
But now, with just one word from the emperor, he might reach the fifth rank out of thin air! Where can such a good thing be found?
Even though the emperor did not promote him, Magistrate Shen was still moved by the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant. He immediately bowed and said: "I thank the emperor for your trust. From now on, I will fulfill my duties and work conscientiously to ensure peace and order in the capital. Xiaoxiao." It is difficult for such people to run amok! In the previous case, I will definitely deal with it impartially, just like the former King Dayin of Shuntian Prefecture!"
You know just take Wang Datou as an example!
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and thought, had I come up with such conditions, would you have expressed such an attitude? But of course he left County Magistrate Shen not just for this reason, otherwise he would not even be able to join Daxing County. The order was left alone. So the emperor coughed lightly, and when Magistrate Shen raised his head, he stretched out his fingers and hooked his hand at the person.
This action was originally a bit frivolous, but now Magistrate Shen was thinking of your kindness and took a few steps forward without thinking. As a result, the emperor took advantage of the situation and grabbed this young man. The magistrate of Wanping County is also not good-looking.
"Shen Qing."
The emperor seemed not to notice that the hairs on the back of Magistrate Shen's hands were growing, and his whole body was shaking violently. He said with a smile: "The magistrate of Cangzhou Lu County has been absent for a long time, and before that, the magistrate of Cangzhou was It has always been intermittent that there are people there for a while, and no one for a while. I hope to divide the east of Hejian into Cangzhou Prefecture, that is to say, Cangzhou will be established as a prefecture, and Changlu will continue to be established as a county."
Seeing Magistrate Shen looking at him blankly, he smiled and said: "I heard that Shen Qing organized a poetry club in her spare time, or is it the head of the club? You are all disciples of Jiang Qing who has become an official. Once Jiang Qing leaves, You can’t help but feel a little discouraged, aren’t you?”
At this time, Magistrate Shen was so shocked that his back was cold. He hurriedly broke away from the emperor's hand and fell to the ground. He wanted to apologize but didn't know how to say it. The emperor not only did not feel disobedient, but directly helped him up. , his tone was actually kinder than before.
"That senior brother of yours, yes, is a guy who is so courageous that he even had a quarrel with Jiang Qing. I heard that he has some insights into military strategy, maritime affairs, and agriculture and commerce, but he is always complaining, saying that he is The Ministry of Industry is so idle that it’s almost going to be moldy? Tell him to write me a report on Cangzhou Maritime and Agricultural and Commercial Affairs. If he writes it well, he can be the governor of Cangzhou."
Magistrate Shen was frightened that his senior brother's complaints were all known to the emperor. But when he heard the second half of it, not only did he break into a cold sweat, but he even felt a little unspeakable envy. But when the emperor said After that, his envy turned into excitement.
"You are just Jiang Qing's disciples, but there is no need to regard yourselves as Jiang's private individuals. I employ people equally, and I appoint them according to their talents!"
