Chapter 363: Finally reinstated
With the growing power in his hands, coupled with the continuous refuge of officials in the DPRK and China, Wang Zhen has truly become an existence under one person and above ten thousand people.
But even so, under the existing rules and decrees of the Ming Dynasty, he still can't cover the sky with one hand, in fact, even if he is the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen, he can't do whatever he wants. For example, the appointment and dismissal of local officials is still largely in the hands of the ministry, and the prince can only achieve his own goals by exerting influence on the ministry.
Because of this, when the original governor of Ulzhou was dismissed due to sudden impeachment, Wang Zhen had no time to respond accordingly. Originally, that Zhizhou was specially arranged by him, in order to naturally take care of his hometown, as well as his relatives and friends there. But now, because he was impeached by the imperial historian for various crimes, this one could only return to his hometown in disgrace, and the position of Zhizhou was vacant.
For this reason, in the past few days, the prince has been thinking about which henchman to send to take over this position. To be honest, this may seem like a big deal, but it's not easy to have a proper arrangement.
Because of Wang Zhen's current status, most of the people who can enter his eyes are officials above the fourth rank in the DPRK, and those who can be cited by him as a confidant are even more high-ranking officials who hold real power in their hands. However, this Ulzhou Zhizhou is just a magistrate on the sixth grade, and it is located in the northern frontier, except for being able to curry favor with the prince, there is almost no benefit.
Let's ask, who will accept such a thankless and dangerous position? Not to mention them, even their protégés and disciples don't have much interest in this. Even those who want to embezzle will find it difficult to gain because of the poverty of the geographical location there and the existence of Wang Zhen's family, but will cause a riot because of the people who shield the Wang family for evil in the local area.
The location of this Ulzhou Zhizhou suddenly became a hot potato, and even Wang Zhen couldn't arrange a suitable person for a while. Fortunately, everyone in the court knew what this position meant to the prince, so no one would covet this position, and after a while, the problem was naturally solved.
But who would have expected that this gave Hu Hu an opportunity, and he actually promoted Lu Zhen to this position in front of the Son of Heaven! When Wang Zhen, who was outside the Wenhua Palace, heard this, the whole person froze, and then, his whole face quickly became a little pale: "Old man Hu, you really refuse to give up!" If you want Lu Zhen to be reinstated, you can even put him in my hometown, is this to cause trouble for me there? ”
The anger in his heart was naturally self-evident, but Wang Zhen helplessly found that he was really helpless in the face of this matter. Because the Son of Heaven had already granted Hu Hui's request, and Hu Hu was a secretary of the ministry, he had enough power to decide on the appointment and dismissal of this official position.
For a moment, Wang Zhendu regretted taking the opportunity to remove Lu Jin's official position before, otherwise he would not have had this opportunity to become the governor of Ulzhou. This may be regarded as shooting yourself in the foot in a certain sense.
And with the attitude and ability that Lu Zhen showed in the past, as well as the festival with himself, Wang Zhen is almost certain that once the other party arrives in Ulzhou, he will inevitably attack his family, which is not the result he wants to see.
Now that things are inevitable, it seems that the only thing that can be done is to remind the family members first, so that they can prepare accordingly. Wang Zhen is also a decisive person, and when he had a thought in his heart, he turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, the door of the palace opened silently, and Hu Hu and Yu Qian had already exited the hall one after another. After seeing Wang Zhen with a gloomy look in front of the door, Hu Hu didn't see any surprise, but just smiled at him: "How is Wang Gonggong doing lately?" ”
If it was placed in the past, although the two sides had already fought several times and had already been opposed, Wang Zhen would still return the salute and say a few words to Hu Hu. But today, he obviously didn't have this distraction, he just glared at the other party, and snorted: "Hu Butang is really a good method, our family admires it tightly." ”
"Don't dare to be, as the so-called avoiding the real is false, this is the key to the art of war." Hu Hu touched the white beard under his chin and replied with a smile.
Wang Zhen didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only snort coldly again. And Hu Hu didn't communicate with him more, just smiled, passed by him, and walked away. As for Yu Qian, he never said anything face-to-face with Wang Zhen from beginning to end, after all, with his current status, it was not enough to compete face-to-face with this powerful eunuch.
It wasn't until they left that Wang Zhen's face looked a little better, and his mind quickly turned to retrieve it. In fact, Hu Hui's words are also reasonable, since his advantage is in the DPRK, he must make this advantage bigger, as long as the DPRK and the CCP are all his own henchmen, will he still be worried about not being able to clean up these guys?
And in order to do this, it is most important to gain the favor of the Son of Heaven. The prince, who wanted to understand all this, quickly put on another face, and entered the Wenhua Hall with a smile on his face.
If Hu Hu knew that it was his own words that woke up Wang Zhen, so that he could go further on the road of seizing power, he would definitely regret it......
Whether you regret it or not, for Hu Hu today, the most important thing is to implement things first. So this time, the officials once again showed far more efficiency than usual.
If you follow the normal rhythm, from an official being valued by the imperial court, and then being entrusted with an official position step by step, to finally taking office, it will take half a year, or even more than a year. This point is the norm of the Ming Dynasty today, unless it is an important position in the court, it will definitely drag on for a while.
Especially for the appointment and dismissal of local officials, once the predecessor has an accident or dies of illness, and then wants the court to send relevant personnel over, the time will always be a year later. That's why I have the right to say so-and-so, which means temporary.
But this time, for the six-grade petty official of Ulzhou Zhizhou, it is unprecedented. In just one day, all the relevant procedures in the ministry were completed, and then the appointment was directly handed over to Suzhou in an expedited manner of 600 miles.
If there were equivalent officials in the capital who knew all this, they would definitely be so jealous that they couldn't sleep all night: this is too bullying, why should I wait for a few months in this official position, and a person who has been dismissed from the government and treated in Suzhou can get such courtesy?
Of course, some officials who saw the way out of it didn't think it was a good thing for Lu Jin. Because everyone knows what kind of place Ulju is, and it's really hard to say what the result will be if you go there to be a governor.
But no matter what, Lu Jin's name soon spread again in the officialdom of the capital, some were jealous, some were watchers, and even some people who wanted to please the prince were all ready to make a move, planning to attack him!
It seems that this appointment is about to cause another storm......
@@@@@
The imperial court's six-hundred-mile expedited was really not built, and in just a few days, thousands of miles away in Suzhou City, Lu Zhen had already received this order, and in addition, there was a letter from Hu Hui.
The content of the letter is very simple, only mentioning one point, Ulzhou is Wang Zhen's hometown, and everything will be left to Shansi.
When he saw this simple letter, Lu Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't expect that after only a few months, I would rush to the front line again." And it's still the first line in the real sense, maybe you have to fight with the Mongolian people again. ”
Ulzhou is really not a good place, not only does it have the existence of the Wang family that cannot be provoked, but it is also looked at by people, maybe when, there will be a general situation when it is in Guangling.
But Kang Sichuan beside him obviously didn't have so many ideas, but just smiled and congratulated: "This official knows that you are not a thing in the pool, even if you encounter trouble, you will soon soar into the sky." Sure enough, after only a few months, you have been entrusted with important tasks by the imperial court again. Moreover, he is still the governor of a state, which is much stronger than the original general judgment. I think it won't take a few years, you will be able to enter the court as an official, and then it will not be too difficult to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, and it will not be too difficult to enter the cabinet. ”
"My lord's words, the officials are terrified." Lu Jinxian hurriedly said humbly, and at the same time, he quickly changed his title, no longer need to be called a student or a subordinate, but can be called a subordinate official.
Speaking of this, Lu Zhen remembered a little more: "By the way, there are still some chores on hand that have not been completed, I don't know ......."
"You are already the six-rank governor appointed by the imperial court, and I, the prefect, dare not let you deal with such trivial matters in the yamen anymore. You can go with confidence, and everything will be dealt with by the officials. At this time, Kang Sichuan is naturally happy to be a favor.
"In this case, thank you for taking care of you." Lu Zhen thanked him again. After chatting with the original proprietor again, he went to the account office to receive his salary for this month, and then left the prefect's yamen. Of course, when the real one leaves Suzhou, Kang Sichuan naturally still has to express something, after all, the two have a relationship, and they have to leave some affection.
After leaving the yamen, Lu Zhen rushed straight home, and along the way, he also told Qinggele, who was accompanying him, the news that he was appointed as an official again. When the latter heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. To be honest, he who followed Lu Jin's side with a purpose, naturally didn't want Lu Zhen to be idle in Suzhou all the time, and now that he is reappointed as an official, there is hope for the former guarantee.
The two talked and laughed lightly all the way, and finally returned to the alley of their courtyard. And when he got there, after looking inside, Lu Jin's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, because in front of the house, a middle-aged man was standing waiting for a long time......
