On this day, Yun Xi also reported to Lao Zhu himself on the tentative candidate for the promotion of Shanghu County and City, and reported that he wanted to change Shanghu County to be under the jurisdiction of Ying Tianfu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, and finally agreed. Then he ordered Zhang Yanfang to return to Beijing, and issued an edict to change Shanghu County to be directly under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu.

In early March, Zhang Yanfang rushed to the capital. He didn't know why he was asked to come to Beijing, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't come back before the last year of his second term?

Fortunately, Yang Ren knew about this, and he greeted the officials in advance, and asked the people from the officials to tell him to let him come to Wenhua Hall after seeing Zhang Yanfang.

On the day Zhang Yanfang arrived in the capital, he came directly to the ministry after resting at the post station for one night. The left waiter of the Ministry of Officials is Lian Zining, and directly told Zhang Yanfang: "His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince wants to see you." ”

Zhang Yanfang then felt quite inexplicable and came to the Wenhua Palace.

Yun Xi was correcting the recital that day, and the eunuch guarding the door said that a civil official who claimed to be Zhang Yanfang was coming, and immediately ordered him to come in.

Yang Ren said: "Zhang Yanfang arrived in the capital today? From Leping to here, counting when the edict was delivered to Leping, this is the fastest journey. ”

Yun Xi listened to Yang Ren's words, and calculated it, it was indeed very fast, basically the edict had just arrived in Leping, and then he set off on the same day or the next day. Doesn't Leping have something to hand over?

At this time, Zhang Yanfang walked in, and knew who Yunxi was by virtue of his clothes, and immediately saluted and said: "Zhang Yanfang of Leping Zhi County has seen His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun. ”

Yun Xi put down the pen and said, "Zhang Qing is exempt from courtesy. ”

However, Zhang Yanfang still finished saluting before standing up straight.

Yun Xi went up and down a lot of Zhang Yanfang. He looks about the same age as Yang Ren, both in their thirties, but he looks yellow and thin, which seems to be caused by a long-term lack of adequate nutrition, Yang Ren was also like this when he first came, and now he is much better.

Yun Xi also heard Yang Ren say that Zhang Yanfang's family has a large population, and his parents are alive; In his life, in addition to himself, he has three brothers, two younger sisters, and five relatives who are farming in the countryside, and they are counting on him to help. As for himself, he still has three children to raise, and he also has to teach his children to read.

It's good that such a person can barely eat enough, and he is not in a position to mention any nutrition at all. Yun Xi had some thoughts flashing in his heart, but it had nothing to do with the matter in front of him. He put aside what he was thinking about and said to Zhang Yanfang: "Zhang Qing arrived in the capital today, and he set off on the day the edict was delivered to Leping." Why, Leping has no political affairs to hand over? Although Leping is a small county, it also has a population of two or three hundred thousand. ”

Zhang Yanfang's expression remained unchanged and said: "Your Highness, now is not the time for the Spring and Autumn Period, nor is it the time for the county test. Although Leping is now unable to find the road and does not close the house at night, it is also stable and there are no bandits; The local lawsuits were also settled on the same day, and there were no pending cases, so they could leave on the same day. ”

The magistrates of the Ming Dynasty mainly had four items: money and food, education, criminal name, and public security. Taxation and county examinations are money, food, and education, and stability and lawsuits are criminal names and public order. Zhang Yanfang meant that he had done everything that the county officials should do, and there was no need to continue to stay in the local area, so he could leave for the capital immediately.

Yun Xi's eyes flickered: Is Zhang Yanfang explaining or showing merit again? Yun Hee wanted to see some clues on his face, but he couldn't see anything. Yun Xi thought for a moment, looked at the hourglass next to him, and knew that it was noon, so he said, "Zhang Qing, it's noon now, let's have lunch first." ”

Zhang Yanfang said: "Chen, I have eaten this morning, and I am not hungry now." ”

Yun Xi knew that he was a northerner and was not used to eating three times a day, but this was an excuse he used to delay time, how could he not eat it? said: "Since you have arrived in the capital, you have to follow the customs of the locals." ”

Yang Ren also persuaded him on the side, and Zhang Yanfang agreed to eat.

Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If he is the kind of rigid person, although he can be trusted, but he is not suitable for the promotion of the city's boss, then he can only be arranged to be the magistrate of another place. Good thing he's not.

Lunch was hearty. It should be said that the food in the East Palace every day is very good, every day is four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. Yun Xi has never lacked meat to eat in his two lives, but he is not too proud of such a meal. But for the officials, except for a few big landlords, they can basically eat meat during the New Year's holidays, so Yun Xi ordered to change the tricks to serve the food every day. Yang Ren is also like this, so that his face has become thin and ruddy.

Today's meat dishes are braised pork and stir-fried pork with cucumber. Zhang Yanfang was a little restrained at first, but when the braised pork was attracted by the fragrance, and seeing that the other people were not so strict in the face of Yun Xi, he threw off his arms and ate the meat and ate the portion that was given to him.

Yun Xi ordered him to serve him another plate. In the end, Zhang Yanfang ate three stacks of braised pork, two cakes, and other dishes.

When he finished eating, he hurriedly remembered something, stood up and said, "Your Highness, the minister is rude, please ask Your Highness to punish the crime." ”

Yun Xi smiled: "It's the first time you've seen Lone, and Lone is not to blame." "Yun Xi doesn't like the kind of person who always holds it, so he doesn't blame it.

Yun Xi saw that the people he was waiting for had not yet come, so he used the excuse of taking a nap and returned to the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Wenhua Palace. Yun Xi did not alarm Xi Yao and returned to the dormitory alone, waiting for news.

It wasn't until noon was almost past that the man he was waiting for finally arrived. Wang Xi walked in and said, "Your Highness, Jinyiwei is here." ”

Yun Xi was lying on the bed with half-squinted eyes, and opened his eyes when he heard the words. He was the one who was waiting for the brocade guard. Although Yang Renbao promoted Zhang Yanfang, Yun Xi could also interview by himself, but he was still not at ease, and asked Jinyiwei to check Zhang Yanfang after reporting to Lao Zhu. Because he needed to send an order to Leping, he estimated that he could arrive today, so Zhang Yanfang had been delaying his time when he came, and now he really arrived.

When the person from Jinyiwei saw Yun Xi coming, he saluted and said, "Chen Jinyiwei Zhen Yang Ben has seen His Highness." ”

Yun Xi agreed, and finished what he was holding. Take it apart and look at it. Yang Ben stepped back.

Yun Xi carefully looked at his resume, except that there were too many people in the family, there was nothing else inappropriate, and Leping was indeed a good governance. Fortunately, there are not many people in the clan, and the hometown is inland.

Yun Xi finished reading it and returned to Dongnuan Pavilion. The subordinate officials of the East Palace have also woken up. Although Yun Xi did not arrange a place for lunch break in the East Warm Pavilion, the backs of the chairs prepared for them were all movable, so they could put down some side rest. This carpenter can do it at this time, and it is not a troublesome job.

Yun Xi sat down in his seat and asked Zhang Yanfang to sit down, and the interview could begin.
