The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 344 Xie Shen returns to Beijing
The resignation of governor Hou Xun is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Xie Shen.

He will inevitably face Eunuch Hu's revenge alone.Just like what Hou Xun said, no one can shelter Xie Shen from the wind and rain.

What made Xie Shen even more helpless was that just after Hou Xun was sent to Beijing, there was a new governor candidate.

On the first day of August, Zhao Jing, the former Fujian chief envoy, was transferred to Shanxi by an order from the imperial court to take up the post of governor of Shanxi.

To say that this Mr. Zhao Jing Zhao has a lot of background, he was a Jinshi in Chenghua for 17 years, and he was in the same year as Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua.

But unlike Mr. Wang Hua's righteousness, Zhao Jing is quite good at interpersonal manipulation.First, he worshiped Wan An, the chief assistant at the time, as his godfather, and then successfully passed the selection of officials and stayed in the household department of the capital.

With the help of Wan An, Zhao Jing made steady progress all the way, and achieved the position of Zuoqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Later, when the new king ascended the throne and Wan An fell from power, Zhao Jing was the first to jump out to play Wan An Wude when he saw something bad was going on.

Wan An took Zhao Jing with him in one hand, but he unexpectedly raised a white-eyed wolf. It was really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Later, Zhao Jing hugged the thigh of Liu Ji, the former chief assistant, and became a capable general under his command.

Under Liu Ji's arrangement, Zhao Jing served as the right minister of Fujian and became a senior official.

Later, when Liu Ji fell from power, Zhao Jing went to hug the thigh of Li Guang, the favorite minister of the emperor.

Compared with the previous two, Li Guang was more shameless and more in line with Zhao Jing's wishes, so Zhao Jing often sent the collected rare treasures to Li Guang's mansion to please Li Guang.

After Liu Ji fell from power, most of his fellow party members were counterattacked.But Zhao Jing was the only one who was not affected, and continued to be his Fujian right minister in a leisurely manner.

Of course, Li Guang played tricks behind his back and opened up the contacts of the officials.

From this point of view, Mr. Li Jing and Li are just like slaves with one or three surnames.

It just so happens that such a family slave with three surnames lives a healthy life, while a capable minister like Hou Xun who is loyal to the country is suspected by the emperor.

The most terrible thing is that Zhao Jing's current backstage is none other than Li Guang, the powerful eunuch.

Although in the original history, Li Guanghui fell in the 11th year of Hongzhi, which is next year.

But the history of this time and space has undergone many changes. God knows whether Li Guang will lose his power and commit suicide at this time next year.

Even if history moves forward according to the established track, there will still be a full year before Li Guang will fall.The conflict between Xie Shen and Li Guang is difficult to describe in words, either you die or I live.As Li Guang's thug and henchman, Zhao Jing's appointment as the governor of Shanxi must be the result of Li's eunuch secretly fueling the flames.

Its purpose is also obvious, that is to take revenge on Xie Shen.

One of them is the magistrate and the other is the governor, Xie Shen is under the direct control of Zhao Jing.

If the other party wants to do something, isn't it easy?
If your boss wants to put on small shoes for you, you are absolutely powerless to fight back.

Fortunately, the day before Governor Zhao Jing took office, the capital sent another decree to transfer Xie Shen back to the capital.

Xie Shen can only sigh with emotion that routines always win people's hearts.

From the release of Hou Xun to the transfer of Zhao Jing, to the transfer of Xie Shen back to Beijing, all of them should have been contrived. All of them were played by the emperor between applause and applause!
From this point of view, there should be no danger to Hou Xun's life, and demotion is probably the most severe punishment.

But what puzzled Xie Shen was why the emperor indulged Li Guang and Hu Zan's party so much.Could it be that Li Guang really confused Emperor Hongzhi through alchemy and medicine, making the emperor dependent on Li Guang and unable to do without him?

If this is the case, it is not difficult to explain the successive transfers of Hou Xun and Xie Shen.

The meaning of the emperor is that I don't care how much you trouble me, but don't make Li Guang's idea.

At least for now, Eunuch Li is the confinement of Emperor Hongzhi.

Of course, the emperor also knew that it was wrong to protect Li Guang in this way, so Hou Xun was not severely punished, and Xie Shen was directly transferred back to Beijing.

This can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, at least Xie Shen didn't go into battle naked and fight Li Guang's thug Zhao Jing tit for tat.

The journey back to the capital from Shanxi is not difficult, but it is always bumpy and time-consuming compared to water and land routes.

In addition, Xie Shen had to bring the female relatives, which increased the time consumption.

Stopped and rested along the way for more than ten days.

When the carriage entered the capital, everyone looked tired, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as busy and dusty.

After setting up his family members, Xie Shen went to the Ministry of Officials to go through the relevant procedures.

Because the imperial decree was issued too urgently, the transfer order of the Ministry of Officials was written very briefly, and Xie Shen was not assigned a new official position.

Therefore, after resigning from office, Xie Shen's official position is still You Chunfang You Zanshan concurrently serves as the editor of the Imperial Academy.

In fact, Xie Shen, the position of Hanlin Xiuzhuan, is basically just a name, and it is impossible to go to the Hanlin Academy to work.

From a fourth-rank member to a sixth-rank member all of a sudden, although he knew it was only a short period of time, Xie Shen was still very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi did not forget Xie Shen, and soon issued an imperial decree, granting Xie Shen the censor of the right capital and the right concubine of Zhan Shifu Youchunfang.

You Shuzi is a fifth-rank official, but because he is an official of the East Palace, he is worth a lot more than ordinary fifth-rank officials.

As for the position of Yushi of Youqian Capital, it is the fourth rank.It is also an important institution like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so it can be said that it is not noble.

You must know that except for the Zhengyin officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the left and right imperial envoys, and the left and right deputy imperial envoys of the adjutants.The censor of the left and right capitals is already the top official position in the row.

Those who can reach the level of Qiandu Yushi, as long as they don't commit suicide, have a good chance of being promoted to deputy capital imperial envoy.As for whether he can go further to foreman the Metropolitan Procuratorate and become the leader of Lantai, it depends on luck.

All in all, Xie Shen's half-year release in Lu'an was very worthwhile. Not only did he change from a sixth-rank praise to a fourth-rank imperial censor, he also gained a wealth of experience in local politics.

Although since Chenghua, the standard for joining the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty was to have a family background, it did not require experience at the grassroots level.

But this is not to say that the experience of grassroots governance is useless.On the contrary, grassroots political experience is the most valuable thing for these cabinet reserve cadres.

The cabinet ministers are the emperor's small team, who not only have to offer advice and suggestions to the emperor, but also have the right to draft bills.

The so-called bill drafting means that the cabinet ministers wrote the opinions on the handling of the memorial on a small note, attached it to the memorial, and handed it to the emperor for reading.

If the emperor has no opinion, he will criticize with a Chinese ink pen.

Of course, most of the time the emperor was too busy, so this task was handed over to the eunuchs of the inner minister, the chief inspector of ceremonies, who were called batch red.

The plan to add approval to the ticket constitutes a complete set of procedures for the circulation, reading and approval of memorials, which greatly reduces the workload of the emperor.
