Chapter 117: First Arrival in Zhejiang (Recommended Votes Plus Update)
How the Ke family told Zhu Youxiao about Zhu Hao's black state, Zhu Hao didn't have a chance to hear it, because at this moment he had already embarked on the road to Zhejiang, along the way, Ming Jin opened the way, and the Qin sent the honor guard to accompany him, but he did not meet again, anyone who did not open his eyes blocked, and the group was like this, and after a boring march for half a month, they finally arrived at Hangzhou Mansion, where the Zhejiang political envoy was located.
When Zhu Hao set off, a group of officials in Zhejiang received documents from the imperial court, knowing the purpose of Zhu Hao's trip to Zhejiang, and the approximate time of arriving in Hangzhou, so Zhu Hao and his entourage, as soon as they arrived in Hangzhou, all the officials in Zhejiang waited outside the city gate to greet Zhu Hao.
The honor guard in front of them, seeing the Zhejiang officials in front of them, did not dare to make a mistake, hurriedly turned around, and reported to Zhu Hao who was sitting in the sedan chair, and after Zhu Hao heard the report, he hurriedly let people fall off the sedan chair and walked out of the sedan chair.
Zhu Hao's honor guard, when he saw Zhu Hao coming out, he immediately lined up on both sides with great interest, and gave Zhu Hao the middle road to get out of the way, and Zhu Hao walked slowly in front of the hundred officials in Zhejiang.
When Zhu Hao came closer, he saw two people led by Zhejiang Baiguan, both dressed in red robes, one looked about forty years old, and the other was much older with white temples.
Seeing this, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "These two people should be the left and right political envoys of the head of the hundred officials in Zhejiang!" ”
Just when Zhu Hao was thinking like this in his heart, when the officials in Zhejiang saw Zhu Hao stepping forward, they knelt down one after another, and then the first two spoke: "Minister Zhejiang Zuobu political envoy, Xiao Jingao"
"The political envoy of Zhejiang, Li Shoujun"
Then after the two of them fell with Li Shoujun's introduction, they shouted in unison: "Lead the officials of Hangzhou, welcome His Royal Highness King Qinchaxin, and respectfully invite Sheng'an!" ”
When Zhu Hao heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said loudly: "Holy bow! ”
This dialogue is actually a formal etiquette, which roughly means that the local official asked the Qincha: "Is the emperor in good health?" Then the Qin Cha replied: "The emperor is in good health!" "It's a regular conversation.
After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he smiled with his hands, palms up, slowly helped him from the bottom to the top, and said: "Everyone, please get up, this king is here to do an errand for the saint, and I will bother you in the future!" Zhu Hao's words were just polite words on the scene.
Through Xiao Jingao and Li Shoujun, what they introduced themselves just now, Zhu Hao knew at this moment that the two people who had just knelt in the front row were the younger ones were Li Shoujun, the political envoy of Zhejiang's right, and the slightly older one was the political envoy of Zhejiang's left, Xiao Jingao.
Zhu Hao greeted the two again, the hundred officials of Zhejiang surrounded him, and walked to the city of Hangzhou, as the saying goes, there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, Zhu Hao entered Hangzhou City, and saw a forest of shops on the side of the street, a thriving picture, Zhu Hao saw this, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know if this is deliberately decorated by Hangzhou officials, or Hangzhou City is like this, if it is like this, then the prosperity here is really no less than the capital!" But in this bustling city, it is easy to breed corruption! ”
Zhu Hao sighed in his heart, and suddenly found that after he followed the hundred officials of Zhejiang into the city, he passed through several streets in a row, but the more he walked, the more secluded he became, which made Zhu Hao suspicious in his heart.
Although Zhu Hao has never been to Hangzhou City, he also knows that the highest authority in Zhejiang, the Xuande Bu Political Envoy, even if it is not in the bustling neighborhood, it will definitely not be in such a secluded place.
Zhu Hao had doubts in his heart, so he turned his head to look at Li Shoujun, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and asked tentatively: "Lord Li, where are we going?" How far are you from the Yamen? ”
Li Shoujun, the right political envoy of Zhejiang, listened to Zhu Hao's words and hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Qiqi, the political envoy is not in this direction!" The political envoy will take you there later! ”
Listening to Li Shoujun's answer, Zhu Hao was even more puzzled, and then asked again: "Didn't you go to the political envoy?" So where is this going to take this king? Is it to go to the king's way? The reason why Zhu Hao asked this is because the Qin Cha itself is here to do the imperial mission, and naturally the first stop is to go to Zhejiang's highest political envoy to meet and understand some information with the hundred officials in Zhejiang, of course, there are individual cases where the Qin Cha first went to the Qin Cha Xingyuan, settled his own residence, and then went to the political envoy to listen to the report of the hundred officials, so Zhu Hao asked this question.
However, after Zhu Hao's words were asked, Li Shoujun, the right political envoy of Zhejiang, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, your line is near the political envoy department, and the lower official is not taking you to Xingyuan at the moment, His Royal Highness is concerned about official affairs, and the lower official admires, but this person is iron rice and steel, His Royal Highness came from afar, and it was lunch time, my Hangzhou official set up a table in Chunjiang Building to show his heart, one is to catch the wind for His Highness, and the other is not to let His Highness work hungry, and at the same time I want His Highness to taste, this authentic Jiangnan snack!" After eating, the lower official will take His Royal Highness to the Xingyuan Placement, and then go to the Political Envoy Division, Your Highness will see that this is good? ”
When Zhu Hao heard Li Shoujun say this, he didn't like before he crossed over, when he saw the Qing official on TV, as soon as he heard about the wind and dinner, he categorically refused, but said happily: "It's so good, it's just that you adults have broken the bank, and this king has thanked you here, but this meal is disrespectful!" ”
Zhu Hao thinks that since he came down to investigate the case, the ultimate goal is to find out the case, and if he refuses to invite the banquet as soon as he comes, then the magistrate will be directly vigilant, and at the same time, he will lose an opportunity to understand the local officials. I don't want to see that happen.
Therefore, in order to be able to find out the case as soon as possible, Zhu Hao naturally will not refuse this banquet, he wants to take this opportunity to have more contact with these officials in Zhejiang, get familiar with the officials in Zhejiang, and at the same time want to paralyze these people as much as possible, so as not to make them wary of themselves, so as to facilitate their subsequent verification.
Holding Zhu Hao in such a heart, he put down the shelf, and Xiao Jingao, the political envoy of Zhejiang's left, and Li Shoujun, the political envoy of Zhejiang's right, chatted casually, and the two of them were naturally very happy to see King Xin's words so good.
This group of people gradually changed from the tense atmosphere when Zhu Hao had just entered the city to talking and laughing. In this harmonious picture of the guests and hosts, the group talked and laughed quickly, and arrived at the destination of the trip, Chunjiang Tower.
This Chunjiang Building is a three-story treasure top of the quaint building, it seems that it should be some years, Zhu Hao and his party just arrived at the Chunjiang Building, they saw the shopkeeper and men of the Chunjiang Building, all of them are waiting outside the door, and the entire three-story Chunjiang Building, there is no guest, it is lunch time at the moment, even if the business of the Chunjiang Building is not good, it is impossible to have no guests, obviously the shopkeeper of the Chunjiang Building, is to know the officials of Zhejiang, today to feast Zhu Hao, the prince, for him to catch the wind, Cleared the guests out in advance.
For the shopkeeper who did things like this, Zhu Hao suddenly became interested in his heart, so he looked up, this shopkeeper of Chunjiang Building is here, this shopkeeper is a middle-aged fat man in his thirties, with a mustache on his mouth, narrow eyes and a god, and he is a shrewd businessman at first glance.
Xiao Jingao, the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu next to Zhu Hao, saw Zhu Hao looking at the shopkeeper of Chunjiang Building, so he hurriedly called the shopkeeper of Chunjiang Building over and introduced Zhu Hao to Zhu Hao: "His Royal Highness King Xin, this is Cheng Million, the shopkeeper of Chunjiang Building, he is not only the shopkeeper of this Chunjiang Building, but also a famous wealthy businessman in Zhejiang, with many industries, and he is a big profit and tax owner in Zhejiang!" ”
After listening to Xiao Jingao's introduction, Zhu Hao was shocked, and suddenly remembered what Qin Hui had said to him at the beginning, and secretly said in his heart: "Cheng million? The fraudulent Xie Yuan that Qin Hui said, Cheng Sanjin's father? ”
Zhu Hao thought of these in his heart, so he hurriedly smiled and said tentatively to Cheng Wan: "Outside Cheng Yuan, I have admired the name for a long time!" I heard that Ling Gongzi is the solution to this year's township test? Cheng Yuan's foreign teachers are well-gratifying! ”
Hearing Zhu Hao raise him like this, Cheng Wan's fat face immediately smiled into folds, and then said: "It's all the adults who carry the dogs, the prince is here today, it is the honor of the small people, and the expenses of the prince and the adults today are all counted on the villain's head!" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Cheng Wan's words, and said secretly in his heart: "Lao Tzu said that these Zhejiang officials are not so kind!" Lao Tzu just came to Zhejiang, and he dug such a big pit for Lao Tzu! Who is this Cheng Million? It is the father of Yuan Cheng Sanjin who tried to solve Yuan Cheng Sanjin in Zhejiang this time, this time Lao Tzu came to Zhejiang, the first thing to check was this Cheng Sanjin, and as a result, these people actually brought themselves to eat at people's homes, this is short in the hands of people, and the mouth of people is short, if Lao Tzu eats this meal today, how to handle Cheng Sanjin impartially in the future, even if Lao Tzu can learn to be selfless with an iron face, but this reputation of "eating people's Lao Tzu, running other people's boys", Lao Tzu still doesn't want to carry it! These bastards are really too deceitful to do this! ”
Thinking of these in his heart, Zhu Hao did not turn his face immediately, but said with a smile on his face: "Cheng Yuanwai, this is wrong!" This king is not only a relative of the emperor, but also the son of heaven, how can he do such a thing of eating without giving money! All the expenses for today will be paid by the king, and it is so decided, let's go in as adults! This king is very yearning for the food of the south of the Yangtze River! ”
