Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 620

"Po Lu River Station":
Walk as far as Yan Qi Road, come from the upper country to travel.

After experiencing the rain on the lake, I stayed in the cold boat on the side of the station.

Shuo Qixiong Sanfu, closed the door to control Kyushu.

There are [-] households in Wuling, and Zhulou rises from Jiaan.

Since Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, in order to convey the central government orders to the world, 41 post stations were set up around the capital, and later increased to 46.

"Luhe Station, also known as Tongzhou Station, is the first station in Jingmen, a rare water and land station in the world."

Du Yinxi walked out of the cabin, and what caught his eyes was the burning light tower not far away. It was about fifteen feet high, and it was an octagonal thirteen-level solid brick tower with dense eaves. It was built during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

On the side, the one who came out of the hatch together was a young man with piercing eyes and thin cheeks, but it was a pity that there was a scar on that face, which ruined everything.

"Du Gong—" The young man stood with his hands folded, with an extremely friendly attitude.

"And Nong, this lighthouse has to be seen, it is a great scene in Tongzhou."

Looking at Wang Fuzhi's cheek, Du Yinxi had to sigh, secretly saying that it was a pity, but he also cherished his talent and filial piety, and his heart ached.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong captured Hengzhou, hooked celebrities everywhere, and threw those who disobeyed into Xiangshui.Unfortunately, his father Wang Chaopin was arrested.

24-year-old Wang Fuzhi cut his face with a knife, pierced both wrists, applied poison to make the wound fester, and then went to the Zhang Xianzhong barracks alone and said: "I have become a useless person, and my father is over 70 years old. To you It's useless, please let us father and son get together."

Zhang Xianzhong was overwhelmed by his awe-inspiring aura and released the father and son.

Since the Kingdom of China, talent has been the first priority, and officials do not stick to their appearance, but being ugly and having scars on their faces are two different things, which can be called disability.

This not only hinders the view, but also lacks the majesty of the official, and it is difficult to control the people. Naturally, it is impossible to be an official, and the official career is near ruined.

"Duke Du didn't want to come to the capital to see him, why would he want to visit the pagoda?"

Wang Fuzhi's strange way, loose sleeves, blown by the river wind, is graceful and graceful.

"Luhe Station is the station before entering Beijing. Not only do I have to rest here to wash away the dust, but I also have to accept the reception from the Ministry of Rites."

Du Yinxi said softly: "I can't control the schedule of Yiying. If the time doesn't matter, I can take a tour in Tongzhou."

"However, you can go to Tongzhou to stay, and the hard work going north is not in vain."

"Being recommended by Mr. Du to be imprisoned, the husband only feels happy, but not tired."

Although he was nearly thirty years old, Wang Fuzhi was in high spirits and cherished such a rare opportunity.

"This is what you deserve..."

Du Yinxi shook his head, looked at his face, hesitated to speak.

Wang Fuzhi said relaxedly: "It is the greatest blessing in the world to be able to exchange my father's life with mere flesh and blood. I can't ask for it, and I don't feel sad."

"You have a good attitude."

Du Yinxi smiled, stroked his hands, looked at the rows of shops on both sides of the canal, and couldn't help being in a good mood.

The small boats with black awnings, like a dragonfly on the water, shuttle back and forth in the gaps in the congested canal, revealing a prosperous scene.

Although this was far from what he had imagined, he had finally regained some vitality, just like this Daming.

For a moment, he was quite sentimental.

Although shipping has become a trend nowadays, in the eyes of many conservatives, although the canal has all kinds of problems, it is calm and can be seen and felt.

The sea is unpredictable, and it is difficult to survive under the overturning.

Although Du Yinxi supported sea transportation, he was still worried and went north from the canal.

Having been the governor of Jiangsu for more than three years, it was already in his expectation once he entered Beijing.

I don't know if this time he was promoted secretly to be a servant, or to be a minister?
It's a pity that there is nothing missing in the six parts, so you can't go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, right?Although Qingliu is good, his real power is not great.

For a big official like him, it was difficult to adapt for a while.

After arriving at Luhe post, sure enough, officials from the Ministry of Rites had already estimated the time and waited there.

The post station also prepared a room, with plenty of hot water and delicious food, which made him relieve his fatigue.

"Du Zhongcheng, please take a break today and leave for Beijing tomorrow."

The governor also has the power to supervise and command the army, and as a rule, he has to be the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The etiquette training from the Ministry of Rites only took an hour, but Du Yinxi accepted it completely and learned it very quickly.

"Is there a bulletin?"

"Wait a minute, it's been a few days since I posted it." Yicheng smiled politely.

Sitting on a chair, Du Yinxi looked at the news about North Korea's restoration in the Daming Gazette, especially the purchase of grain at low prices, trade, and control of naval forces, and felt that the court was not decent enough.

It is not the first time to help people restore the country, how can you be so petty?

But he understands that these words cannot be spoken out loud, it has become a matter of public discussion, and he can only follow them instead of complaining.

After reading for a quarter of an hour, he turned the page and saw another piece of news: Zhu Mou, Minister of the Household Department, resigned as Minister of the Lifan Academy...

"This--"

Du Yinxi was stunned, but his heart suddenly became hot.

Standing up, he looked at the boats in the distance and Yiyi willows by the river, his mind was full of thoughts.

How could it be such a coincidence?When he was called into Beijing, there was a vacancy in Li Fan Yuan.

Although there are three words for Li Fan Yuan, and it is not followed by a department, and the Yuan seems not to be on the right track, and its power is also small, not as good as a division...

But there is no doubt that Li Fanyuan Shangshu is a second-rank official position, far above his second-rank official position.

According to the usual practice, even if you are promoted to be a servant at the first level of a Beijing official, it is only a mediocre tune, while the Shangshu is Zuoqian.

"Six Ministers is a difficult job. I have insufficient qualifications and I am not a minister of the hidden residence. Even if I am given six ministers, it will be difficult to sit firmly."

"The Lifan Academy is just right, with little power and just right ranks. After straightening out, whether it is transferred to the Sixth Ministry or entered the cabinet, it can be said to be a matter of course."

The more he thought about it, the hotter his heart became.

Tossing and turning at night, I couldn't fall asleep until midnight.

At dawn, Du Yinxi got up, took a boat, and headed west to Beijing.

As for Wang Fuzhi, he was exhausted by boat and car, and temporarily rested in Tongzhou for a few days.

Once Chongwenmen passed, Du Yinxi was surprised by the spacious and orderly outer city: Is this still the same Beijing when I entered Beijing for the exam?
Although there were too many doubts in his heart, he could only quickly wash away the dust, changed his clothes, and waited outside the imperial city.

The young eunuch led him in, and after walking for a long time, he finally came to a shady place.

Octagonal Wing Pavilion.

The emperor was playing chess boredly, and the player who played chess with him was Zhu Mou, the man of the day, the Minister of the Household Department.

"General—"

"Your Majesty's move can be described as a stroke of genius, I bow to you."

"You kid let me, don't think I don't know."

Zhu Yixi scolded with a smile, then waved his hand in disgust, telling him to go away.

Zhu Mou didn't take it seriously either, and left with a smile.

Before leaving, when he saw Du Yinxi, he just nodded slightly.
