Chapter 127: Summoned by the Son of Heaven (2)
Although Yinchuan Station is a big post, it has a bad fate. Because of the local soft soil collapse, the post house is depressed, unbearable, because of geological problems, it is built today and may collapse next month.
In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, Liu Zhuodu, the governor of Zhizhou, ordered Liu Ding, a post minister, to repair it, and later crashed.
In the third year of Longqing, Nie Shouzhong added three mansions, which allowed Yinchuan Yi to play its role. The main body of the current Yinchuan Station is the three mansions repaired by Nie Shouzhong in Zhizhou back then, which have been repaired and repaired for decades, but they have also survived solidly.
Before the old king rode a donkey to Yinchuan Station, he had already come down to walk in the car, and explained to Li Hongji the precautions after meeting Shangguan, and Li Hongji was naturally full of words.
When the two of them walked to Yinchuan Station, the two post guards guarding the door saw the old king's head and greeted him, and a post guard who was familiar with the old king's head said: "Oh, Uncle Wang, what kind of wind is blowing you over?" ”
The old king laughed loudly and said, "Li Qing, I haven't seen you kid for a few months, and you're still so unorthodox!" ”
Li Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, this time you have to drink two cups with my father before you can leave, the last time you came, my father thought I didn't keep you, and went back and chased me with a hoe for half of the village!" ”
The old king laughed, nodded Li Qing and said: "Your father is a cannon temper, just a little bit, after so many years, it really hasn't changed at all." ”
Li Qing smiled and glanced at Li Hongji, who was following behind Lao Wang, nodded, said hello, and asked, "Uncle Wang, are you here to get supplies this time, why didn't you see the ox cart coming?" ”
The old king shook his head and said, "I have something else to do this time. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Hongji beside him, and then said: "You have also seen this kid Zao'er, and when I was still here, he always followed me." Young man, I am afraid that it will delay him if I care for the elderly in Bailiyi, so I will show this old face today and come over to see if I can make a living for this baby. ”
Li Qing frowned and nodded, and said in a low voice: "This is a coincidence, He Inspector happened to be in the post today, you go and meet him first, with him to help talk, this matter should be much easier." ”
Lao Wang glanced at the courtyard of the inspection, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go in and have a look." ”
The old king was just about to leave, but Li Qing suddenly grabbed him, and then said, "Hey, Uncle Wang, don't be in a hurry. ”
"How?"
Li Qing explained: "You haven't come to this Yinchuan post for a few months, there are some big changes in this post, you always listen to me first." ”
The old king said: "I have been here in Yinchuan for decades, and there has not been much change, and it has only been a few months, and there have been big changes?" ”
Li Qing nodded, pulled the old Wang head to the corner, and then said: "Uncle Wang, don't you know, do you know that the current Yicheng has been replaced?" ”
Li Qing's eyes widened and he asked, "What's the matter, it's a change again, isn't it the one surnamed Zheng?" ”
Li Qing shook his head and said, "Zheng Yicheng was just pulled out by his family last month, saying that he went back to Henan to be a teacher. ”
The old king frowned when he heard this, he was taken down from the post surnamed Zheng, this Zheng Yicheng was not very old, and he was a newcomer to his hometown, but he wanted to rectify the post station and do a big job.
The new official took office with three fires, and this fire burned to the old king's body, not because the old king's head had a problem, but because the old king's head was the oldest in this Yinchuan station!
In the eyes of this Zheng Yicheng, an old qualification like Lao Wangtou is the real old fritter, and his next action to rectify the post station will definitely make a stumbling block, so with an order, Lao Wangtou jumped twenty miles away and ran to Bailiyi to lighten the burden on several officials and masters.
When the old Wang Tou heard that this Zheng Yicheng was transferred, he didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, the surname Zheng just wanted to do things, but he was not greedy, in his opinion, no matter whether the surname Zheng's ideas were good or bad, he was always a person who had the heart to do things.
But if this newcomer is greedy and greedy, he is afraid that he will hemorrhage profusely.
Li Qing saw the worry of the old Wang, sighed and said: "Uncle Wang, the current post surnamed Liu, who is five big and three thick, I heard that he is an official who donated money, and it is estimated that he is a person who wants to get a vote and leave, you estimate that it is a little difficult to do this time." ”
The old king sighed secretly, he was really afraid of something, he turned around and looked at Li Hongji, who was leading the donkey not far away, and turned to Li Qing and said, "Good boy, I know everything." ”
Li Qinghan touched his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Wang, whatever you said, I grew up watching you, what is this." ”
Lao Wang Tou talked to Li Qing again, and after saying hello, he went straight to the post station.
Lao Wangtou naturally did not go directly to Liu Yicheng, but went to the courtyard of He Patrol familiarly.
In this Yinchuan Station, in fact, the best relationship with the old king is this He Inspection. Not because of anything else, just because the people around them have walked wave after wave, only the two of them have been poking firmly in this Yinchuan Station.
The name of He Inspector in the mouth is He Ning, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was assigned to the post station because of his military exploits, and then stayed for 20 years, becoming the "oldest" old man in Yinchuan Post except for the old king.
Of course, in the big dye vat of Daming officialdom, the bad habits in the officialdom naturally have not fallen, but dozens of people have been together for a long time, and they don't hold a shelf, and they get along very well.
The ancients got married and had children very early, and He Patrol was no exception, when the old king entered the courtyard, he was teaching his grandson to write in the courtyard.
He Ning saw Lao Wang Tou enter the courtyard, and hurriedly greeted him, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, Wang Ergou, why are you here?" ”
When the old king heard He Ning call his name, his face immediately drooped, and he said angrily: "Lord He, I guess only you remember my name in Yinchuan Station, right?" ”
He Ning slapped his head and smiled, and said, "Forget and forget, I am happy for a while, and I forget your taboo!" Why, are you here to receive supplies? ”
The old king was not polite to him, and directly explained his intentions, He Ning's face was a little solemn after hearing this, if this matter was in his authority, he would do it without saying a word.
However, he did not have the right to appoint and dismiss the personnel of Yinchuan Post in this inspection, and the civil officials and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty took turns to control the government, and the military generals have not been regarded by the people.
He can be regarded as the second-in-command in Yinchuan Post when he says that he is inspecting, but the big and small things in Yinchuan Post are all Yicheng patting the table alone to get ideas, otherwise when the previous Yicheng is transferred away, he will transfer the old king back.
It was rare for the old king to ask for someone, and He Ning couldn't tell him clearly, so he had to nod and said, "I'll help you talk about this matter, but whether it succeeds depends on what the new post man has to think." ”
He Ning was not verbose, and after speaking, he gave an order, and went straight to the courtyard of Yicheng with the old king.
On the way, He Ning told the old Wang Tou in detail about the new Yicheng, and he knew that it was naturally much more detailed than Li Qing.
The new post is called Liu Dexin, he himself said that he is from a big family in Shaanxi, and he is responsible for part of the business in the clan, the world is difficult, the business can not go on, and he has no face to return to his hometown in Shaanxi, so he has to sell his property, ran to Gansu, donated an official, and plans to come over to support the elderly.
This newcomer Yicheng doesn't believe that anyone who listens to Henan dialect will be from Shaanxi. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, anyway, Yi Cheng said so, the big guy just listens to it, it's normal to be away from home for a long time and forget the hometown sound!
The old king followed He Ning into the courtyard of Yicheng, the yard was not big, and vegetables were planted on one side, and a young woman with a plain face and a graceful figure squatted in the yard and pulled green onions.
There was a well in the courtyard, and a tall, thick-eyed, somewhat heroic man was fetching water with a wheel.
As soon as Lao Wang saw that there were female dependents present, he hurriedly pricked his head down, He Ning had contact with this Liu Dexin a few times, but he didn't care, and laughed as soon as he entered the courtyard: "Liu Yicheng, take the liberty to visit, excuse me, disturb!" ”
When Liu Dexin saw the visitor, he also laughed, but the sound was like thunder, and it shook people's eardrums.
"What a patrol! Sit down, sit down! ”
The two were just about to talk, when another person suddenly came in from outside the hospital, and hurriedly said: "Two adults, Zhizhou is here!" ”
Hearing this, He Ning was a little surprised, but the newcomer, Lord Liu, had a numb scalp and was very weak in his heart......
