Chapter 358: Draw a fist to determine the governor
"It deserves to be a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River!" After nightfall, Zhang Lingyang left the palace quietly under the support of Xiaofuzi, Han Xiao, Feng Xi and others, and came to the bustling Qinhuai River.
If you want to say prosperous, Jiangning Mansion is definitely a first-class prosperous place in the world, and even the capital is slightly inferior, Yangzhou is inferior to three points, and Hangzhou is not inferior to Jiangning, but it is less expensive.
On the banks of the Qinhuai River, pedestrians are constantly surging, and from time to time there are rich children dressed in silk and satin in and out of the painting boat, even if he stands far away, Zhang Lingyang still hears the sound of silk and bamboo and the laughter of women from the painting boat.
"Long live the lord, do you want to go up and have a look?" Xiao Fuzi on the side saw that Zhang Lingyang's eyes kept looking at the painting boat, so he asked.
"It doesn't have to be!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, you send someone to check and see who the famous prostitutes are in Jiangning Mansion, and when the time comes, just take them to the palace and sing a few songs for me!" ”
As an emperor, he went in and out of Fengyue places. It's indecent to pass it out.
For the sake of his reputation, Zhang Lingyang still did not set foot in the painting boat.
After playing in the night market for a while, Zhang Lingyang went back to the palace to rest and said no more.
The next day, Zhang Lingyang summoned the governor of Jiangsu, Pharmacist Li, and sent political envoy Zhao Chenyang to inquire about the local people's livelihood.
Speaking of which, Zhou Chang, who followed Zhang Lingyang south this time, served as the prefect of Jiangning for a period of time, and he is very familiar with Jiangning Mansion.
It was also from Zhou Chang's mouth that Zhang Lingyang learned that Pharmacist Li and Zhao Chenyang, the two first-in-command and second-in-command in Jiangsu, did not agree with each other.
But the identities of these two people are very valuable, one is a relative, and the other is from the royal family, in the final analysis, they are all relatives of Zhang Lingyang.
But these two relatives, since Zhang Lingyang arrived in Jiangning, they will quarrel in front of Zhang Lingyang every day over some trivial things, which makes Zhang Lingyang very annoyed.
Regarding the rights and wrongs of the two, through the observation of the past few days, Zhang Lingyang has made an obvious assessment.
In fact, in the final analysis, both sides are at fault, as the governor, Pharmacist Li wants to seize the absolute right to speak in Jiangsu, how can Zhao Chenyang, as the second-in-command, be willing?
Besides, regardless of seniority or prestige, Zhao Chenyang is much higher than Pharmacist Li, but in the end, Zhang Lingyang let Pharmacist Li serve as the governor of Jiangsu, and his imperial family still sits in the position of political envoy, so you can imagine Zhao Chenyang's mood.
is also because of this, many things were provoked by Zhao Chenyang.
But in the final analysis, Pharmacist Li himself also has problems with his ability to govern, otherwise he would not have been repeatedly caught by Zhao Chenyang.
Pharmacist Li was originally just a prefect, and he didn't know how many years he stayed in the prefect's office, and he never got excellent in the evaluation of the officials every year, and he was promoted to the governor of Jiangsu because of his daughter Concubine Li. When it comes to personal ability, I am just a middle-class person.
Therefore, Zhao Chenyang, who is subordinate to him, can fight with him well.
"It seems that Pharmacist Li is not suitable to serve as the governor of Jiangsu!" After some understanding, Zhang Lingyang gave Pharmacist Li a character, after all, in a province like Jiangsu, the ability of the top leader must be outstanding.
"But if you want to move, where do you put Pharmacist Li?" Zhang Lingyang was also a little hesitant in his heart, after all, with Pharmacist Li's ability, if he served as a Beijing official, he was afraid that it would not take long to become a victim of the court battle.
Besides, the local governor is known as the official of the feudal territory, and the official residence is second-class, and there is no suitable position for Pharmacist Li among the Beijing officials.
But fortunately, with a secret letter from Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital of the Inspectorate, Zhang Lingyang thought of an idea.
After Li Guangtai's investigation for many days, it was found that the mastermind behind the emptiness of Shandong's treasury was the governor of Shandong. In the face of such a local dignitary, although Li Guangtai had already received Zhang Lingyang's order before, he still did not dare to arrest him in time, so he came to ask for instructions.
Without thinking too much, Zhang Lingyang naturally ordered someone to go to Shandong with the holy decree and hand it over to Li Guangtai, and ordered him to immediately arrest the governor of Shandong and all the officials involved in the following after receiving the holy decree.
Naturally, the position of the governor of Shandong was once again vacant.
Who to take over as governor of Shandong next has become Zhang Lingyang's headache.
It just so happened that on this day, Pharmacist Li and Zhao Chenyang once again made trouble in front of Zhang Lingyang because of a trivial matter.
"Alright, don't make any noise!" Zhang Lingyang, who was overwhelmed, scolded sharply.
Although Pharmacist Li and Zhao Chenyang, who had already figured out Zhang Lingyang's 'helping relatives and not helping others' temperament, stopped arguing after Zhang Lingyang's reprimand, looking at their faces, they were still unconvinced.
The two important local ministers are constantly fighting every day, whether it is for the people or for the court, it is a blessing and a curse, so Zhang Lingyang said: "It just so happens that there is a vacancy in the position of the governor of Shandong, and I will give the two of you a chance: to draw a fist to determine the victory." The person who lost went to Shandong to serve as the governor of Shandong, and won that person to serve as the governor of Jiangsu, what do you think? ”
"Wechen obeys!" Without waiting for Pharmacist Li to speak, Zhao Chenyang spoke directly.
Zhao Chenyang's brain is alive enough, and he knows that no matter whether he wins or loses this boxing, his position will be promoted anyway.
On the other hand, Pharmacist Li, seeing that Zhao Chenyang answered in such a timely manner, he came back to his senses in an instant. After all, although the governor of Shandong is also a feudal official of the second grade, how can Shandong be prosperous in Jiangsu?
Seeing that Pharmacist Li's face was pale, Zhao Chenyang sneered: "What? Could it be that Governor Li didn't dare? ”
"What is the old man not daring to do?" Pharmacist Li was the most unprovoked, Zhao Chenyang just stimulated it so lightly, Pharmacist Li's brain was hot, and he should make a decision to decide the outcome without thinking about it.
"Rock, scissors, paper!"
Pharmacist Li, who opened his right hand, couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Zhao Chenyang was out of a stone, and said in his heart: "It seems that I won!" ”
"Ahem!"
Over there, Zhang Lingyang, who acted as the referee, coughed lightly and said, "Two wins in three games, you still have two more chances!" ”
Zhang Lingyang, who knew that Pharmacist Li's ability was limited, didn't want Pharmacist Li to continue to serve as the governor of Jiangsu, so he said so.
After all, Zhang Lingyang didn't say that boxing is a one-game victory, right?
Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Pharmacist Li opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but feeling that he was aggrieved.
Obviously, you won by yourself, but you suddenly came up with a win-of-three game, which shows how aggrieved Pharmacist Li is in his heart.
Seeing that Pharmacist Li's face turned the color of pig liver, Zhao Chenyang's face was actually proud.
guessed two more games, and the results were obvious, the next two games were won by Chenyang, and therefore, Zhao Chenyang became the next governor of Jiangsu.
Pharmacist Li, on the other hand, wants to pat his ass and leave, and go to poor Shandong to do those thankless things......
