Chapter 72: A Dangerous Promotion
The first update
Emperor Zhengyang really knew about the four princes looking for Zeng Fan, but he was an old man, and he had been an emperor for thirty years, no matter how poor his talent was, he would have understood everything. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so I waited until the court meeting, the south study finished the discussion, and sent out the two princes who had listened to the government, and the old man still sat on the kang, holding tea and contemplating, empty. Zeng Fan silently packed up the folds, wrote them on the note according to the policy just agreed, and sandwiched them in the fold. This is to be shown to Emperor Zhengyang again, he is sure, and he will help him write a Zhu batch again, stamp the imperial seal, and then file and distribute.
"The fourth child went to look for you?" Before Zeng Fan was busy, Emperor Zhengyang spoke first.
Zeng Fan was stunned for a moment, nodded subconsciously, but immediately put down the pen, got up and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
"What did you say?" Emperor Zhengyang was satisfied with his reaction, Zeng Fan had been by his side for more than ten years, and he watched him grow up step by step, and there was still some trust in him. In other words, he trusts in the way he sees people.
"The four princes were worried about the emperor's dragon body, so they came to ask the ministers for an idea. The minister said that if the prince is pure filial piety, do his best, and do not let the emperor worry, it is more filial than caring about the emperor's dragon body. The fourth prince was smart, so he took his leave and left. Zeng Fan said slowly. He didn't tell a lie, but if he said what he said, I was afraid that the old man would not be so calm.
Emperor Zhengyang nodded, thinking that this was true, but thinking that the fourth child inquired about his physical condition and asked Zeng Fan, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, and thought for a while, "It seems that the sixth child also looked for you last year?" ”
"Yes, the six princes had nothing to do at that time, they went out of the palace to play, and went to Weichen's house, Weichen gave him two books, so he asked him to go back to the palace quickly." Zeng Fan was even more unburdened, Emperor Zhengyang had not yet fallen ill at that time, and the six princes were so jumping up and down to make friends with important ministers, which made Zeng Fan even more disdainful.
Emperor Zhengyang smiled bitterly again, and let out a long sigh, the sixth child is fake smart, and the fourth child is fake filial piety, which makes Emperor Zhengyang a little discouraged.
"Little monkeys, they're gone, your lady is sad, isn't she?" Emperor Zhengyang decided to change the topic.
Yes, she has always been strict with her children, but she loves them the most. Now even the nephews in the family have returned to their hometowns to become relatives, she is very lonely now, yesterday Erchen took a little milk dog back, it is estimated that today will be a little better. Zeng Fan smiled bitterly.
These days, he has been accompanying Li Ping as much as possible, but even he feels lonely, let alone his wife who is at home every day. also said to Qin He, and took a newborn baby dog from the kennel in the palace and went back to Li Ping to raise. In fact, what he wanted most was to ask a trained cat and dog to go back, otherwise why would he find Father-in-law Qin. But Qin He has also known Zeng Fan for so many years, everyone has become friends, and after listening to what Zeng Fan said, he suggested that he should not ask for any well-trained and docile kind, and really bring that kind back, isn't his wife the same as nothing? Is it really a play? In fact, it takes time to get one.
Zeng Fan thought about it, the milk dog is easy to get, and he still needs to take it from the palace? Zeng Fan was ready to go back. But Qin He was a warm-hearted person, so he directly sent one to Zeng's house, along with a series of gadgets to raise a dog. I'm afraid that the Zeng family doesn't have it, and the ones bought outside are not as good as those in the palace, and the people who send them are all little eunuchs in the dog house, teaching Li Ping and the next daughter at home for a long time, it's really a hand-in-hand teaching, I'm afraid they won't.
However, Qin He said that a very soft and shady little white lion milk dog slept in a special small cradle, and even Zeng Fan, who came home from work, felt cute. Li Ping finally found something to do, feeding the puppy and wiping it with a warm cloth, which was really more careful than taking care of the child at the beginning. Zeng Fan is finally relieved now.
"Alas, the dog house in the palace is also afraid that those girls will be fine, and they finally have a companion, so you think well this time." Emperor Zhengyang thought about it, "Zicheng, is it okay to let you go to Liangguang?" ”
"Liangguang?" Zeng Fan frowned, Liangguang is the general name of Guangdong and Guangxi, since the previous dynasty, there was a Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang, but later it was divided and merged, but from the first emperor, it was combined into the general system of Liangguang, and the Ya Guangzhou. The old man is now telling him about Liangguang, not Guangzhou, but he is now the second product, and the governor of Liangguang is from the first product. It's not to belittle his rhythm, it's to raise his rhythm again.
"You're not happy?"
"Your Majesty, the student has never dealt with local military and political affairs, but he is afraid that he will have a low eye, or should he start as the governor of Guangzhou?" Zeng Fan knew what the old man meant, now the two Guangxi are in a grim form, many things are about to break out, and the governor and governor are also military positions, one is in charge of the army of the two Guangzhou, and the other is in charge of the army of the government. However, now there is no distinction between military and political affairs, and whether it is a governor or a governor, in fact, they must be in charge of the military and political power of one side. He didn't change places, and he still chose to be in the army, which was nothing more than expressing that he didn't dislike the officials, but that he knew that he was somewhat unconfident in his abilities.
"There is really something, you don't have the right to make a temporary decision, can it be true that you are like Brother Hao, and finally sink into the sand and hate the officialdom?" The old man smiled bitterly.
"But the students are still too young, so the students have told you before that they want to go back to their hometown for a few years, familiarize themselves with local military and political affairs, and see what can be done to nip the crisis in the bud." Zeng Fan didn't call himself a micro-minister this time, but called himself a student. The fact is that after he entered the Hanlin Academy and was officially conferred, he has always been by Emperor Zhengyang's side, not so much as his most trusted courtier, but a student cultivated by Emperor Zhengyang.
And Emperor Zhengyang was also very comfortable with his self-title, and many things also hit his heart, but he let out a long sigh and shook his head.
"Now no one dares to do it in that position, if you really do it, if you dare to run away, come back and cut him with a thousand knives. If you don't escape, if you die there, the gain outweighs the loss. ”
"Then please ask the emperor to give an order!" Zeng Fan knelt down, this half-level fruit is not easy to rise. And even Emperor Zhengyang said this, in fact, it also means that the form is severe.
Zeng Fan has been in the South Study for so many years and knows very well about the two forms. Guangzhou is also a port, and the officials there are not easy to do, and foreigners have no duties but have rights, and the DPRK and China have even disrespected foreigners for fear of attracting dissatisfaction and reprimanding them. At this time, making the foreign adults superior to others is a big problem for the security of Guangzhou alone;
There is also the worship of God in Guangxi, which is actually self-contained. It's a matter of time. The imperial court did not take action, to put it bluntly, there was no money, but what Zeng Fan thought was that if they didn't fight at this time, it would be difficult to fight again when they accumulated enough strength. It's just that Emperor Zhengyang can't make this determination, and the previous governor of Liangguang is too lazy to care, afraid that something will happen. Everyone knows that this official is not easy to do, and the position of the governor of Liangguang has been vacant for a few months.
