Chapter 636: A Little Story
The words spoken by Emperor Xinwu at the enthronement ceremony had spread throughout the Great Shang at this time, from south to north, from east to west, or fast horses, or carrier pigeons, scattered from the direction of the capital, like a powerful whirlwind, sweeping the whole world.
The shock caused is naturally not small, and there are those who disdain, those who are afraid, and those who are happy. Even the monarchs and ministers of some neighboring countries who were relatively close to Dashang already knew what kind of emperor this powerful country in the Central Plains was.
There are those who admire its ambition, and there are those who sharpen their knives and prepare to take the opportunity to invade after the Central Plains is in chaos.
Hai Zhenru, who was the county magistrate of Jingsui County at the time, received a report from the imperial court at the end of February this year, and at first he was overjoyed when he saw such news, and he burst into tears with excitement, and his hands holding the newspaper kept trembling, and he shouted in the back hall of the county government: "The sky has eyes, and the sky has given me the lord of the prosperity of the great business......
He never drank alcohol, so he drank two jars of coarse grain wine excitedly, and was drunk all night, and even copied many copies of the newspaper, and Zhang Ti was in a corner of Jingsui County, so that the scribes of the yamen read this proclamation many times a day, telling the people of Jingsui County what kind of person they are today.
The people celebrated with their crowns, and the entire Jingsui County rejoiced for half a month. Even after half a month, everyone has a hopeful smile on their faces, and they all feel that their good days are about to come.
However, after the initial excitement, Hai Zhenru gradually calmed down, and he suddenly realized that if Emperor Xinwu really wanted to inspect the world, then the resistance was simply terrifying. In the future, will Emperor Xinwu choose to compromise because of these resistances? In this way, the good government that can promote the world will die in the middle of the way.
But if Emperor Xinwu insisted on going his own way, spared no effort to support the Xuanyi Praetorian Guard, and forcibly promoted such a policy, it was very likely to cause a situation where the world of big merchants was full of wolves. No, not possibly, but it will be like that. More than half of the world's acres of land and business are in the hands of the powerful family.
When the time comes, these people are cornered, and they are likely to raise their arms and revolt.
The people are blind, they are ignorant and unreasonable, and they are easily instigated to rebel with those people......
After sorting out these clues, Hai Zhenru began to suffer from gains and losses, he hoped that such a good government could be carried out forever, but he was afraid that the Central Plains would be full of smoke at that time.
However, what could he do in the face of such a situation? He really wanted to write to the emperor and tell him that it was too impatient to say it blatantly, and that it was a good policy to make Xu Tuzhi. However, how could the book of such a small official as him be placed on the emperor's dragon book case?
Just when Haizhen was suffering from gains and losses, the leader of the Wenju who defected to him last year, Gu Qi and Gu Jingran, came and said to him: "My lord, get ready to go to Beijing." ”
At that time, Gu Jingran was still followed by a young man.
At that time, he didn't care about this young man, he just looked at Gu Jingran strangely, and asked, "Go to Beijing?
Gu Jingran said: "In a few days, the official will will come down, and the adults will be promoted to Jingzhao Mansion." It's also good to prepare early at this time, rather than being too busy. ”
As he spoke, Gu Jingran introduced the simple-looking young man again: "Come to introduce the adult, this little brother's name is Mu Changchun, he is the junior colonel of the Xuanyi Qinghua Guard, and he is here to escort the adult to Beijing." ”
Hai Zhen was suddenly startled, staring at Gu Jingran with burning eyes, and asked, "Who is Mr. Jingran?"
Gu Jingran didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Don't hide it from Lord Hai, a few years ago, the students were for the Xuanyi Forbidden Military Academy, and they did all kinds of logistics and transfers, and later they were in Li Sangongzi...... Well, it is now that under the permission of Li Zhi'an, the governor of the forbidden army, he broke away from Xuanyi and served as a clerk in the former prince's mansion, and later participated in scientific research, well, that's basically it. If the student had been working in the Xuanyi at the beginning, the position of the eighth prince's greedy commander should be the student. ”
At that time, Hai Zhenru was stunned for a long time, stared at Gu Jingran incredulously for a long time, opened her mouth, and asked dryly: "In this way, with Mr. Gu's birth and knowledge, it is not a problem to want to come to Qiuqiu High School, so Mr. Gu must have a purpose when he came to assist Hai last year, can you tell Hai, what is the purpose of that governor?"
Asking like this, he smiled self-deprecatingly again, and said: "Hai was born poor, studied hard to get a public name, and worked as a county magistrate for eighteen years.
Gu Jingran said with a smile: "Jing'an Hou doesn't have any intentions for Lord Hai, the reason why students are here is just to learn from adults. ”
"Studying?"
"Yes, study. Of course, it is not to study the Four Books and Five Classics, the rules and regulations, but to learn how adults are officials. Belch...... In the words of the third son, should a student be called an 'intern'? ”
Gu Jingran replied like this, but Hai Zhenru began to be stunned.
He didn't ask the Xuanyi Governor how he knew about himself, such a stupid question. With Xuanyi's intelligence ability, it was too easy to know the specific situation of such a petty official as him. What he cared about was that the governor asked Gu Jingran to 'intern' by his side.
This seems to be the temporary intention of the Grand Governor, but behind the Great Governor who is known as the Absolute Prince on the rivers and lakes, is the current Xinwu Supreme.
In this way, he couldn't help but think too much, and it seemed that the Supreme was iron-hearted to promote an official like himself......
In late March, as Gu Jingran said, the appointment documents of the imperial court came down, and he was exceptionally promoted to the governor of Jingzhao Mansion. Then began his journey to the post.
The road is not smooth, and it can even be described as a road paved with blood. If it weren't for the Xuanyi lieutenant named Mu Changchun and his subordinates, Hai Zhenru understood that he would have been dead for a long time.
The most dangerous battle took place near the Western Capital, hundreds of Jianghu people suddenly attacked in the small inn where they were resting, killing more than a dozen Xuanyi, Mu Changchun did not retreat in a bloody battle, and was seriously injured.
When Hai Zhenru saw that she was about to die, another group of people suddenly came out of the small inn, led by a Qinglou woman named Feng Xiaoju, her martial arts did not seem to be high, but she commanded properly, and resisted the gang of Jianghu people.
Then, the people of Wanmatang arrived and completely killed the gang of Jianghu people.
Later, Hai Zhenru learned that the Qinglou woman named Feng Xiaoju turned out to be a general school of Xuanyi Qinghuawei.
After that, Hai Zhenru was escorted by Xuan Yiwei and Wanmatang, and after that, such a fight was naturally indispensable, until the night before approaching Beijing, Wanmatang everyone said goodbye and left, leaving the disciple of the 'Thunder Knife' Ma Xingkong, a man named Ma Zhanlei to protect him and continue to enter Beijing.
However, the countless assassinations along the way completely made Hai Zhenru understand that the noble family and the powerful martial arts, these people who stand at the top of the big business, they report a resolute attitude of resistance to the 'inspection of the world' of the new martial supreme.
He also understood that Emperor Xinwu wanted to use his iron courage to make an example for others, starting from the capital, and purging the world step by step!
And Hai Zhenru also understood the danger, so at this time, when he was about to enter Beijing, he said the words "too much, sharp".
After saying these six words, Hai Zhenru's hand holding the reins shook unconsciously, and this trembling mood was very complicated, with fear and excitement.
He has an iron courage, he is not afraid of offending anyone, and he is not afraid of the things that need to be done after entering Beijing, what he is afraid of is that his efforts will be in vain in the end.
And the excitement in my heart is because I have caught up with such a big trend and participated in it myself.
These two emotions are mixed together, and I don't know what kind of taste it is.
Hai Zhenru took a long breath, turned her head to look at another middle-aged staff member, and said, "Bosu, you and I have known each other for fifteen years, and you are also a person with outstanding wisdom, but you have been with me conscientiously for fifteen years. Bosu, my heart is too chaotic now, please solve your doubts. ”
When the middle-aged staff member named Jing Bosu next to him heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Dong Weng, what are you worried about? Don't you often say that big businessmen accumulate evils, should there be fierce medicine? Why are you afraid of the tail now?"
"But this medicine is too fierce...... Haizhen said: "Hai is not afraid of the powerful in Beijing, not afraid of the family gang, this strength makes Hai someone do it, but he is afraid of ......"
What was he afraid of, Jing Bosu naturally understood, frowned slightly, did not speak, just let out a long sigh. He was also worried, afraid. So at this time, you can't enlighten Hai Zhenru.
Hai Zhenru shook her head silently, then turned her eyes to the side, looked at Gu Jingran, and asked, "Mr. Gu, I think you should be very familiar with that governor, Hai asks you, what kind of person is he?"
Gu Jingran smiled and said, "Lord Hai, who is Li Sangongzi, I can't explain it in the future, but what Lord Hai said just now is quite appropriate." Well, tell a little story to adults, Jinghe was twenty years old, and he came to Li Sangongzi's mansion at the beginning of the next year...... Oh, to put it bluntly, I was very depressed at that time, if it wasn't for Li Sangongzi to save me, I was afraid that I would freeze and starve to death. ”
Hai Zhenru frowned and listened quietly, this little story is secondary, he mainly wants to hear what he wants to know in this story.
