Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 224: Get promoted first and then do things later
The next day, Xie Xiuwen was still on duty and was hastily called into the imperial study.

"Xie Aiqing, I want to send you to Xiangzhou Mansion to investigate the case, are you willing to go?"

Besides showing loyalty, what else can Xie Xiuwen do?
"It's the honor of my humble servant to trust you so much. This humble servant will definitely try his best to find out the truth, so as not to disgrace the Holy Grace."

Emperor Wen Jing liked to listen to such straightforward words, which was much more comfortable than those old guys turning a corner and refusing.

"Well, since you are courageous, I will not wrong you. Come here and make an announcement."

Hearing this, Xie Xiuwen immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, while the Zhongshu Sheren beside him began to announce the decree.

"Today, Xie Xiuwen is granted the title of Chancellor Zuo Cheng of Shangshu Province. Tomorrow, he will go to Xiangzhou Prefecture to investigate the case of 'counterfeiting'. I will give you the right to do things cheaply, hereby."

Xie Xiuwen hurriedly thanked him for accepting the order.

In this way, the Xiangzhou government and his party are already a certainty.

Xie Xiuwen was promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng, that is, an official of the fourth rank. In the capital, he dared to call himself an official only because his faculties reached the fourth rank.

In other words, among Beijing officials, these fourth-grade officials are just the beginning. The higher you go, the harder it is to get promoted to this official position.

And Xie Xiuwen has only been an official for five short years, and he has been promoted several levels in a row, so it is hard not to be talked about.

However, Xie Xiuwen has real merits, so even if someone talks about it, it cannot be said that he relied on other connections to get to the top.

And it is obvious that the Holy One trusts him.

The Dazhi Dynasty now implements the official system of three provinces and six departments. These three provinces are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province.

Shangshuling is the second rank, and then there are left and right servants, which are officials of the second rank, and then there are left and right ministers of Shangshu.

In the Dazhi Dynasty, the left was the most respected, so Zuo Cheng had a higher status, belonging to the upper fourth rank, while Shangshu Youcheng was lower than the fourth rank.

Shangshu Zuocheng, this position is really powerful, not only to deal with some reports from various places, but also to discern the etiquette of the six departments and hundreds of officials, correct the faults in the province, and impeach the power of the censor.

All the documents of the six departments need to be sent to the capital province for inspection by the left and right prime ministers before they reach the relevant yamen.

Because it is stipulated that ministers should only ask Pushe for instructions on major matters in the province, and all other details will be handled by the left and right ministers.

As time went on, Zuo Pushe was gradually ignored, and the real power of Shangshu Province naturally fell into the hands of Zuo Cheng, so Zuo Cheng was also one of the consuls.

As for Shangshuling, that is, the prime minister, he usually doesn't care about trivial matters, and the focus of Shangshuling's work is generally in the Zhengshitang.

Because the work process in the three provinces was relatively cumbersome, the approval process was often rejected and resubmitted for approval. The process was cumbersome, so a "political affairs hall" was later set up.

The power holders of the three provinces discuss military and national affairs together here, and those who can be called elders are basically in the political affairs hall.

However, Xie Xiuwen, the Shangshu Zuocheng who has real power, has to go to Xiangzhou Mansion before he can move to the value house.

In fact, some veterans also expected Xie Xiuwen's promotion.

After all, after Xie Xiuwen made another meritorious service last year, they thought the Holy One would promote him.

But I didn't expect that the Holy Emperor only rewarded me with many things and didn't say anything about promotion.

Nowadays, he is promoted first and takes care of things later, which is a bit like Emperor Wen Jing's style of doing things.

There is no way, Xie Xiuwen's previous status is indeed not suitable for investigating the case of 'counterfeiting'.

The status of Shangshu Zuocheng is different, let's not talk about his high rank, just saying that Shangshu Province has six departments under his jurisdiction is enough to show his importance.

Moreover, sending such officials to investigate the case can also show that the court attaches great importance to this matter, and it can also have a certain comfort effect on those students.

Xie Xiuwen was going to Xiangzhou Mansion, so he had to bring enough people.

This time, the court assigned him to escort him all the way, and to cooperate with him in handling the case, there is also Feng Shu, the general of the Habayashi Army.

The two of them are considered to be familiar with each other, after all, they went to Taiyuan Mansion together on business before.

Feng Shu brought 50 people with him on this trip, mainly to protect Xie Xiuwen along the way and listen to his orders.

In addition, Xie Xiuwen also brought six of his own nursing home servants, and he felt full of security along the way.

Apart from Douzi and Chen Shuang, the people around Xie Xiuwen who need to use now are Li Shan and Li Si, who are brothers.

In fact, Li Shan and Li Si didn't have big names in the first place, and the household registration had always written Li San and Li Si.

Later, the two brothers joined the army, and the adults of Baihu helped them change their names in the army camp.

The two brothers later retired from the army, and when the imperial court arranged strength classes for Xie Xiuwen, they called the two brothers over.

Li Shan and Li Si received all the salary from the imperial court, but the Xie family was benevolent, in addition to the food and lodging that had always been generous, they would also pay an extra two taels of wine money every month.

In fact, the strength classes in various prefectures basically have such rewards, but the amount is uncertain.

As an ordinary nursing home, one can get two taels of money in a month, which is considered a lot.

If those nursing homes in the mansions of high-ranking officials often help their masters with their aftermath, they will naturally get more rewards, but the money is not so easy to get.

First of all, you have to be someone trusted by the master, otherwise, you will definitely not be used to clean up the mess.

Generally speaking, the strength lessons arranged by the imperial court are only responsible for some ordinary errands, so the really hard and beneficial work is not their turn.

Li Shan and Li Si were different, the two brothers were sincere and willing to contribute, and Xie Xiuwen's family did not have any juniors who caused trouble, so they never needed them to do some shameful things.

Xie Xiuwen has only one request for them, which is to try his best to keep the house safe.

The two brothers have been working in Xie's house for almost three years, and they also admire Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie's character. Naturally, the two of them went south enthusiastically.

Xie Rongzhao watched the carriage go further and further away. While feeling depressed, he also noticed his mother who was even more worried, so he kept brainwashing himself and not to show too much sadness.

Xie Xiuwen is well aware of the dangers of this trip, but for the sake of his future and his family, he has to work hard.

In Shili Pavilion outside the city, Xie Lin and Wang Qinshan had already prepared boji to greet them.

Xie Xiuwen had expected that Xie Lin would come here to see him off, but he didn't expect Wang Shangshu to be there too.

"Master Wang, how dare I ask you to send me off."

Wang Qinshan said with displeasure on his face, "You're not in court, why do you still call me Lord Wang?"

Xie Xiuwen choked, then said helplessly, "Master, please forgive me."

Seeing that Xie Xiuwen was deflated, Xie Lin was naturally in a good mood: "I can see that Brother Zicheng is helpless."

Xie Xiuwen glanced at him helplessly, "You are gloating!"

Wang Qinshan on the side said displeasedly: "You don't want to see my uncle so much?"

Xie Xiuwen accused him again and again, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Wang Qinshan helped him up: "Going to Xiangzhou Mansion, I'm afraid it will be extremely dangerous. Take this letter. Sima of the Governor's Mansion of Xiangzhou once had a friendship with me. If you encounter danger, you can seek his protection."
