Chapter 57: Aftermath
It's almost the summer of the year, the weather is starting to get hot, everyone starts to move and sweat, sticky, the hard-working common people are busy all day long, they don't think so, as long as there is a harvest, don't you sweat more? What's the matter, just wipe it, but these are unbearable things for the upper class, sweating all day long, how ungraceful, do you want to live a pleasant life like this?
Everyone is a tasteful person, isn't it just a little hotter in summer? It's hard for us who love life and live in the upper class, what are we afraid of, we have ice, a few plates of ice in a room are fanned by someone next to it, that's cool, and then a bowl of rock sugar water is even cooler, don't want it, cough cough, this is nothing, the emperor still has a special place to escape the summer, sweating profusely or something, far away from them, say it and let the working people below live, but there is no way This is class society.
As the saying goes, a broken leg ran under a mouth above, last year because of the affairs in the northwest and Jiangnan, the emperor couldn't go up to escape the summer, too, the sergeants and the people are suffering, but you go to the summer palace for leisure, are you afraid that Murong Jiangshan will sit too steadily? And this year, things are basically solved, there is no major event, the emperor wants to enjoy it, so he decided to travel on the tenth day of May, the emperor expressed his intention, just wait for the following arrangements to travel, as for the details of the trip? As the emperor, there are still many important things waiting for him to decide, so don't bother him with these small things.
In the imperial study, the emperor listened to a few scholars and a few ministers discussing who should hold the vacancy in Jiangnan, such as the Jiangnan political envoy, Jiangnan governor, Jiangnan prefect and other more important positions, everyone wants to recommend their own people, although because of the Jiangnan anti-thief incident went down many officials, so that everyone is a little sensitive when they hear Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is fat after all, and doing well is the key to the future family and the children of the family and the family to enter the cabinet, everyone wants their own people to go.
Yan Shizhong, a scholar of Wenyuange University: "As for the post of political envoy, the minister thinks that it is better to be the current prefect of Shanxi, after all, he once served as the prefect of Jiangnan Wei'an, and he is relatively familiar with Jiangnan, and it is better to send an official who is familiar with Jiangnan in the current situation in Jiangnan." ”
Qian Yucheng, the eldest scholar of Wuyingdian, felt that Yan Shizhong was really cunning and cunning, who didn't know that the Shanxi prefect he mentioned was his person, and now the first assistant is about to retire in three years, and the cabinet will vacate a position, and if the Shanxi prefect goes to serve as the political envoy of Jiangnanbu, isn't this preparing for him to enter the cabinet? When the time comes, two of the four votes of the cabinet will be on his side, won't he have the final say in everything, and whether or not we will have to eat in the future? So he said loudly: "It's good that the prefect of Shanxi is good, but I heard that he is not very strict in governing his family, isn't this why the prefect of Yangzhou?" Because his family is not strict and he almost had a big incident, he must be cautious and cautious. ”
For the people under him, Lord Yan still trusts him, what is not strict in governing the family, isn't it just two more women? There are still very few such prefects in Yangzhou, so they still contribute to their own people: "Oh, the prefect of Shanxi is just not rich in heirs, but he is a person who governs his family quite strictly, which can be assured." ”
Lord Qian was happy, it seemed that Yan Fox didn't know the latest news about the people under his door, so he said: "Hehe, Lord Yan, don't you know that the outer room of the Shanxi prefect is making a lot of noise?" It seems that Lord Yan is still too busy. ”
Hearing this, Scholar Yan hesitated a little, so he could only rest his mind, but he refused to be weak, so he said sarcastically: "Hehe, it seems that Lord Qian's news is not ordinary." ”
Lord Qian was choked when he heard this, and he was well-informed, didn't he say that I was a woman with a long tongue? I really don't want to eat at all, hmph, I was about to go back ironically, but the emperor spoke: "Gu Aiqing, who do you think is good to be the political envoy?" ”
Gu Shizi, who was planning to be a passerby next to him, listened to the emperor's roll call coldly, and was a little depressed The emperor dragged him in, so he replied with a panacea: "Minister, listen to the emperor." "Just continue to be his passer-by, he doesn't participate in this kind of thing, you must know that he is a powerful man, what is he doing with those things of a powerful man Li Wenchen, the emperor does not have a trick like you, haven't you seen the faint eyes of a few scholars, as a powerful man he is very powerful and conscious, a few don't be afraid that he will participate, he thinks it is better to go home and coax his daughter to participate, so let him go.
The emperor would not let him go, so he continued: "Aiqing has recommended candidates, you can say it, for everyone's reference, after all, Aiqing has just returned from Jiangnan, and no one knows better than Aiqing when it comes to understanding Jiangnan." “
Speaking of this, Gu Shizi still said with a panacea: "Minister, listen to the emperor." “
The emperor was not hopeful about Gu Shizi's answer, but he saw that everyone was full of thoughts, and he was the only one who was drinking tea leisurely next to him and couldn't see him before ordering him, and when he heard this answer, he was about to let him go temporarily, but unexpectedly Gu Shizi said again: "It's just that the minister has some small buildings, I don't know if I should say it or not." ”
When the emperor heard this, he became interested and said, "Aiqing said to listen to it." ”
Gu Shizi tidied up his cuffs and said slowly: "The minister thinks that some officials in Jiangnan who have not participated in the anti-thief side can still make up for their merits, after all, now that Jiangnan has just stabilized, sending new officials to serve in the past, not to mention that it will delay local government affairs." ”
A few scholars heard it and thought it made sense, but who knew that those officials were not involved, it was really difficult, who was to blame for the accident at that time? It's better to send someone again, even if it is delayed for a while, it is better than when something big happens, who is to blame if something happens? There are a lot of people in the Da Rui Dynasty now, and Jiangnan can still send this official, it seems that Gu Shizi wants to protect that official, I don't know who he wants to protect?
So Scholar Yan said: "Minister, I think it is reasonable, it is okay to take a good look at some of these officials." ”
The emperor asked more directly; "Aiqing, does anyone recommend it?"
Gu Shizi also said generously: "The minister thinks that the prefect of Yangzhou is good, and the minister still had his help when he caught the thief." ”
The emperor also knew about this, and he also felt good about this Cheng prefect, and he was happy to give Gu Shizi face and said: "Then let him atone for his sins and continue to be the prefect of Yangzhou." ”
So Cheng Zhifu still did the prefect back, when the prince said that if he did well, he would protect him, he thought that the prince would let him return to his hometown without distribution, he was already very lucky, he was ready, who knew that the prince was so powerful, he actually let him keep his original position to atone for his crimes, this is really a big surprise, he couldn't believe it, or he asked Mrs. Cheng to twist it before he came back to his senses, and since then he has offered the prince as a god in his heart, which is not to be mentioned.
