Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 205 The official is on duty, the rift in the six parts!

The three of Guan Peng and Su Ling Alu returned to the banquet one after another, as if what happened just now was just a small episode
But whether it was Guan Peng's ugly face, or Su Ling'a's whispering with Wu Shenglan and others after returning to his seat, they all indicated that this matter was extraordinary...

In the middle of the banquet, Li Gan asked the eunuch to take the copper coins made by the palace and sprinkle them down from the Chengtian Gate. The officials below picked them up with smiles, and even the maids and eunuchs outside were also smiling. participated in.

At this time, the censor of corrections will turn a blind eye and ignore this commotion.

Sprinkling money in the Zhengdan Dynasty has been a routine and has a long history.

"Emperor Kaiyuan held pity in the palm of his hand, and lived in the world for 20 years. It is said that Chengtianmen held a banquet, and all officials collected money downstairs." Decades later, court ladies living among the people are still reciting this poem to the world to express the emperor's favor.

After distributing the money, the banquet gradually came to an end, and at the end there was music playing again. All the officials knelt down and saluted. Li Gan left his seat and returned to the harem, announcing the end of this grand court meeting...

At the same time, the pilgrimage activities in various counties and counties have come to an end, and even many places have ended.

Qinghua County is far in the southwest, also known as Bazhou, which is the place where Bashan Chushui is desolate.This place is adjacent to the Kingdom of Shu in the south, and it can be regarded as a remote place in Daqian, and ordinary officials would not be willing to run here at all.

Qinghua County, Guiren County Yamen, a group of officials who had just finished their incense in the direction of the capital paid New Year's greetings to the county magistrate, and then filed out of the Yamen, smiling and going back to each house, to neighbors, Relatives and friends this New Year greetings.

The county magistrate, who was dressed in a blue official robe, had a short stature, but his beard was not gray, came out of the yamen first, and headed for the front yamen.

I looked at the festive appearance of the county government office with lights and festoons, and a smile appeared on my wrinkled face.

"Lord of the county! Lord of the county!"

Nearby, a red-faced official in soap clothes ran over, waving a letter in his hand: "Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. County Venerable!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

The benevolent and kind-hearted magistrate of Gui Ren seemed to be in a wrong mood, and nodded to me with a smile.

The big official from the post station seemed to be encouraged by something special, and he rushed a few steps excitedly: "Master County, without your letter, I sent it from the capital!"

The magistrate took it from the big official, and when he saw the words under the envelope, he was suddenly taken aback.

"The son-in-law Cai Bian worships, and the Duke Jun Qi of the middle of Mount Tai."

~~
Longxi County, Xiangwu County.

The seat of Longxi County is Xiangwu County, and it is also festive and peaceful today with lanterns and festoons.

In the county guard's yamen, Su Ling'a was dressed in a crimson official robe, with a smile on his face, receiving rich businessmen and small households who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Li Ganyouji was busy in the front, dealing with the official documents that had accumulated for a while.

Compared with a few months later, my face is obviously less of a kind of "mature and capable" temperament, and there is also a layer of blue stubble under my chin.

Being a pundit outside a county is completely different from being the master of a family outside a county. After those few months of training, I have gradually adapted to life there.

By the time Su Ling'a finished her work and was supported by the servant back to the front office, it was already morning.

"Oh~ I'm exhausted..."

Grinning her teeth, Su Ling'a beat her own back, and walked back to the front door.

"Sit, uncle."

Li Ganyouji got up and helped me sit up, and massaged my shoulders.

"He's not a bit filial to be considered the eldest son."

Su Ling'a was obviously very tired, so she picked up the snacks on the side plate and ate them, enjoying the service of my little nephew without any burden.

"Uncle, what do these people say?" Xi Zhen Youji asked me while pinching my shoulder.

"What else can I say?"

Xi Zhenwu laughed hotly, and took a sip from his wine glass: "Here is his arrogance, so naturally he is low."

Li Gan Youji's face was not ugly, and the actions of his subordinates were not too heavy.

"Hiss~ he's focused!"

Xi Zhenwu squeezed his neck slowly, bared his teeth and shouted to stop.

It was only then that Li Qianyouji suddenly realized the problem, smiled and relaxed, "You focus."

Su Ling'a wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and ate again, but leaned back under the chair, sighed a long time, with a look of relief in her eyes.

Li Qianyouji was silent for a moment, and comforted him: "Old uncle, in fact, the difference is less now, we need to make trouble."

"Did His Majesty ask you to stabilize Longxi? We have already stabilized Longxi, which is considered a failure of the Holy Order."

Xi Zhenwu turned his head and glared at me, then said: "As soon as it's over, he asked you to fight with us, and now he's pretending to be a good guy again?"

"You..." Li Ganyouji was helpless when I said it, and he said with restraint: "You also thought that these people are so difficult to deal with..."

"How long have you been operating in Longxi? Generations! How many days have you been here? Do you still want to beat him?"

Su Ling'a turned her head while blowing her beard and staring: "It's a loss, it's good to have a long memory, and you have to be cautious about things you were sure of before!"

Li Ganyouji gritted his teeth: "Uncle, you know...you just want to..."

When we first came, the local small households and giant merchants cooperated very well with the county guard of Su Ling'a, so the whole Longxi County quickly recovered its stability.

At this time, everything is smooth and smooth.

But only after coming to Su Ling'a and Li Ganyougou did they realize that the reason we were able to restore stability in Longxi so slowly was because the local small households and chambers of commerce needed stability.

Only when Longxi stabilizes, can we make smaller profits with the help of the vast Silk Road.

At that time, Su Ling'a and Li Ganyouji still had a clear understanding of that point. Seeing that we had taken control of Longxi so slowly, we thought about going all out and doing some small business, some of which would be better for Longxi, better for the court, and better for the emperor. Your Majesty better things.

But the two people who came here discovered that it was really too difficult.

First of all, it was very difficult for Xiaohu to pass the test. With or without our support, nothing can be done.

Secondly, the Changsun Party has been operating in Longxi for too long, and when it goes down to the county yamen and goes up to the yamen of various counties, one of them is our people.

But those two parties are still people who hope that the current situation will change.

On top of all the obstacles from the top to the bottom, doing something is inferior to reaching the sky. When Su Ling'a and Xi Zhen Youji realized that situation, they were dumbfounded for a moment.

However, both of us are willing to eat and wait to die. Under Li Qianyouji's instigation, Xi Zhenwu also gradually became inactive.

On the one hand, he wins over local small households and wealthy businessmen, on the other hand, he excludes the grandsons, and gradually gathers the power in Longxi back into the hands of my county guard.

After a few months of taking office, the two of them can be regarded as fruitless, but that's all.

Regarding the intertwined forces, even the top leader of a county can do nothing.

"Uncle, is he about to be transferred away by His Majesty?" Xi Zhen Youji asked suddenly.

Su Ling'a was silent for a moment, but still shook her head: "That matter...you are right."

Whether or not there was any movement in the past six months, Su Ling'a also felt that the matter of promotion was quite hanging.

"Your Majesty must be wrong."

Li Ganyouji gritted his teeth and said: "Old uncle, if he can really get promoted, we will definitely return to Longxi in our lifetime. If we just leave like that, is he willing?"

"Willing." Su Ling'a replied very bluntly: "If it's really possible to get promoted safely and securely, you'd be too willing."

I have forgotten what Cai Jing told me: everything should be stable first, and I must let others know that I am reliable.

It's obviously a good thing to mess around now.

Li Qianyouji was obviously choked, and then he held back and wanted to speak again.

However, Su Ling'a stretched out her hand, blocking the words I continued: "Don't think about it, what your Majesty wants to do, definitely has no deep meaning on my part."

"How could he know the situation of the whole county when he was the official historian?"

Xi Zhenwu looked at Li Ganyouji without any deep meaning: "Now he is only outside a county, how can he know the situation of the whole Xiaogan?"

"If he wants to toss according to his own ideas, he has to stand low enough and see far enough. Now that he has reached this point, he just needs to cooperate honestly. There is no way for every position. "

The old uncle's words cured Xi Zhen's internal friction, and I was silent for a moment, then nodded and walked in.

Xi Zhenwu looked at my back and sighed faintly.

~~
During the New Year's greetings when people come and go, the day of Zhengdan came to an abrupt end.

Cai Jing also took advantage of the few days of the Chinese New Year to take a good rest, and took Li Qianyougou and other ex-concubines out of the city for a stroll.

But holidays always pass slowly compared to workdays.

In that kind of relaxed situation, one day passed by in the blink of an eye, and soon it returned to the time when it was necessary to deal with memorials and go to court every eight days.

Compared with the small-scale small court meeting, the abnormal court meeting once every eight days is the time to discuss matters.

During today's court meeting, Cai Jing brought up the matter of the deputy examiner again. Whether it was unexpected or he returned with merit, it actually fueled the arrogance of the eldest grandson and others.

Qin Hui and a group of officials from Zhongshu Province and Menshang Province became more and more disappointed. After working so hard for so many days, it felt really bad that they had nothing to gain.

The little ministers who went to the Manchu Dynasty had a more muddy understanding of the situation and felt that the situation was settled, but even fewer people sighed for the reason of His Majesty the Emperor.

During the small court meeting a while later, I just thought that His Majesty was a master of inaction, but now it seems that he has lost the arrogance of a young man and lacks a little stability.

It's just a test, so why be so serious?

That was the last time. Really seasoned politicians will never care about one-sided gains and losses, and the most important thing is to consider the overall situation.

Compared with the eldest grandson, time may be the weakest weapon of the emperor.

Maybe wait another ten years, 70 years, I can understand that, only then can Xiaogan truly usher in a true king of inaction...

At the same time, there were some changes in the eyes of the ministers looking at the eldest grandson Cai Xiaoren.

For those who want to defect to the Cai party, the weaker Xi Zhen is, the more beneficial it is to us. In fact, the actions of the eldest grandson in recent days have touched the sensitive nerves of many people.

With the help of the power of the eight ministries, small packages and small acquisitions, it is so beneficial to reap the benefits, and it is the interests of many people to move. The situation of the Xiaochao meeting later attracted the fear of many small officials.

Military generals, vassal kingdoms, seven grassland kingdoms... and even officials from counties and counties all approached me.

It is difficult for civil officials and military commanders to be friendly with each other, and it is difficult to be excluded by the civil official group, let alone Xi Zhen's friendship is just complicated!
In such a situation, is Cai Jing afraid of me?
As long as people in my camp know it, even if it is the civil servants of the eldest grandson who have taken refuge, there will be no part of them who will be very happy. This is the natural decision of civil servants and it is difficult to change.

Therefore, the weaker the eldest grandson was, the less he noticed the eyes below me. At this moment, it was only the civil servants, and even some military officers who cast dignified gazes.

When Xi Zhen was sitting under the dragon chair, she caught sight of Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, which moved my heart...

However, the thoughts of the few ministers were the same, the ministers of the eight departments before the court meeting became more and more excited, and felt that they had stabilized.

The next thing to do is to decide the winner among the eight parts.

It's just that before returning to Shangshu Yamen, the eldest grandson said so...

"Now is the best time to relax!"

The eldest grandson looked at the young servants present seriously: "Perhaps no one just wants everyone to relax their vigilance, and then they can do it in one fell swoop!"

Whoever no one is referring to, everyone knows.

The servants were all stunned, and let the eldest grandson be a little bit, and we gradually realized the problem.

Who is Qin Xiang?
Lao Yinbi is cruel and ruthless, very rational... It stands to reason that I would be too impulsive when I am not sure about something, and I would even be so stubborn about one thing.

And His Majesty the Emperor is even more willing to suffer.

Judging from the half a year since my ascension to the throne, although all the methods are relatively indiscriminate... Yes, it is unexpected, but the traces of long-term layout can be clearly seen in it.

From this, it can be seen that His Majesty has no ideas of his own.

Did I really lose my mind with the performance of the meeting today?

Could it be to relax the vigilance of myself and the others, and to complete the counterattack while at the forefront?
The eldest grandson looked around at the servants present, and said solemnly: "The situation in the court is abnormal. It is already the first day of the first lunar month, and it is only a month before the announcement of the candidate for the deputy examiner of the general examination. Walk……"

If the house is really stolen, all the eight officials including the eldest grandson will become the laughing stock of everyone, and they will be called little fools, and that title may stay with us for the rest of our lives.

"Cai Xiaoren, the colleagues from the Disrespect Department are here, so something will happen, right?" Lu Yin couldn't help but frown and said.

Gao Shilian also said in a yin and yang way: "Yes, Xiaoren Cai, there must be countless of us now, right? If so, how will the quota of the first deputy examiner be determined? From which department?"

Yan Lide, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, was also a little eager to speak.

I just need it, and I will contribute very little in the fight against Zhongshu and the door. The sooner I decide now, the more at ease I will be.

Yan Lide and Lu Yin looked at each other, and they sensed the hostility in each other's eyes, and the atmosphere in the duty room gradually became subtle.

There can only be one deputy examiner for the examination.

Cracks gradually appeared within the eight parts...
