Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 12 Debriefing
、、、、、、、
Listening to Qin Xiyuan and Zuo Fanchen's request to see each other, Feng Wuxian couldn't help but show a smile. Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the world, and these two people are all first-class talents, which really complement each other. He nodded, and Xiao Fangzi hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to announce the two of them in. I saw that outside the door of the main hall, Qin Xiyuan and Zuo Fanchen, who were dressed in new official robes, walked in one after another, and then knelt down respectfully to ask for peace.
Feng Wuxian looked at these two Jiangnan capable ministers with a smile, only to see that Qin Xiyuan was about fifty years old, and his hair was not messy at all, obviously a person who paid great attention to his demeanor. However, looking at the appearance of him kneeling on the ground, he could see the tension in this person's heart, and this was the first time he had ground the saint so closely, and this kind of situation was naturally unavoidable. Looking at Zuo Fanchen on the side again, he was much calmer, because this person was Zuo Jinhuan's father, and he made a decision very early in the original situation, so Feng Wuxian couldn't help but look at him a few more times, which made the two of them get up.
"Qin Xiyuan, how long have you been transferred to Liangjiang?" Feng Wuxian asked seemingly nonchalantly.
Qin Xiyuan pondered the intention of the emperor's words, and then replied: "It has been five years since Weichen was transferred to Liangjiang at the end of the twenty-sixth year of Wanlie. ”
"Well, I have seen your resume evaluation, all of which are remarkable, and you have also made quite a lot of achievements in the governorship of Liangjiang. However, Liangjiang is a prosperous place, and you deserve this achievement. What I praise the most is your incorruptibility, it is naturally impossible to be spotless in such a fireworks place, but you can repeatedly refuse the filial piety of your subordinates, even your own brother-in-law is also restrained, this alone shows that your official raft is rigorous. Feng Wuxian said as he looked at Qin Xiyuan's expression. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the other party showed a look of panic.
Being an official is rigorous and self-controlled, although Qin Xiyuan is the most proud of himself. But there are not a few people who have offended, if he is not a powerful minister valued by the first emperor. He also got along very well with Zuo Fanchen, the governor of Jiangsu, and Lu Simang, the governor of Zhejiang, and he was afraid that someone had already wanted to take the opportunity to pull him down. However, when the words came out of the emperor's mouth, it was a great compliment, and Qin Xiyuan was moved. Immediately he fell to his knees again. "Weichen was valued by the first emperor in his early years, and thanks to the warning given by the first emperor, he always kept it in mind. As an official, he should benefit the people and fulfill his duties, which is all within his duty, and Weichen does not dare to live in Jb. ”
Feng Wuxian nodded, obviously very satisfied with Qin Xiyuan's words, "I am very happy that you have such knowledge, although the imperial court has always had the practice of leveling local officials. However, in the rich land of Liangjiang, it is always inappropriate to transfer an unreliable person to exploit the people, so after this debriefing. Thou shalt go back and be thy governor of the two rivers. Your previous two articles are very well presented, one is to rectify the Beijing officials, and the other is to exempt Jiangnan from taxes for one year, so that the people can rest and recuperate. are all models of sharing worries for the court. I remember that you are still the title of the second grade, and this time I will simply add you to the first rank, as long as you can make some achievements in the local area, I will never hesitate to reward. ”
Qin Xiyuan was worried that he would be transferred out of Liangjiang after this debriefing, but the emperor not only gave words of encouragement, but also added a grade for him, and immediately kowtowed with gratitude. "Weichen was born in Weima, and it is really a great fortune to be so valued by the first emperor and the emperor, and he should do his best to serve!" Speaking of this, he couldn't bear his inner emotions, if he wasn't worried about the loss of honor in front of the emperor, he was afraid that he would cry. After all, the higher the official rank, the heavier the fall will be if something happens, and it is common for him to not even be able to save his life when he is idle, so it is no wonder that he is excited.
Seeing Qin Xiyuan's appearance, Feng Wuxian couldn't help but comfort him a few more words, which made him retreat, leaving Zuo Fanchen alone. Zuo Fanyang had just heard Feng Wuxi's words to Qin Xiyuan, and he had already raised his throat in his heart, but now he saw that the emperor's eyes were on him, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Zuo Fanchen, although I have met you a few times, it seems that it is the first time that you have played it alone?" Feng Wuxi's tone was a little more casual, and he continued without waiting for the other party to answer, "Speaking of which, I and Jin Huan are also destined, not only worshipping the same master as him, but also appreciating his courage to do things. Well, you did give birth to a good son. Zuo Fanchen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the emperor to start with his son, and he was stunned for a moment before replying: "The emperor loves it, and that is the blessing of the dog." It's a shame to say that although Weichen has supervised him very strictly since he was a child, he still has some negligence, if it weren't for the emperor's mention, the dog would not have today's achievements. Weichen only has this one son under his knees, and he was almost delayed by himself, so he is extremely grateful to the emperor for his admonition and teaching. Weichen had no thanks, so he could only try his best to repay the emperor's kindness. ”
Feng Wuxian listened to Zuo Fanchen's remarks in a different way, and couldn't help but sigh. After asking a few more words about the envoy, he couldn't help but think about it, although the governor of Jiangsu is also a local feudal official, but his son and father live together as the governor, and there is no precedent in the court. However, if Zuo Fanchen is really transferred to the capital, it will be difficult to settle for a while, so he is in a dilemma. Speaking of Zuo Fanchen is also a capable minister, he must not be abolished because of a convention, he saw that this person's words and deeds are down-to-earth and generous, without a trace of deliberate artificiality, so he also has the idea of reuse.
"Hmm, I remember that you once served in the Ministry of Officials, and then you were appreciated by the first emperor before becoming a foreign official?" Feng Wuxian asked as he pondered the severity of the matter.
Zuo Fanchen had already vaguely heard the emperor's intentions, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen had served as the head of the ministry for three years before, and then because he voted for the first emperor's fate, he was fortunate to be transferred to the foreign official, and it has been twenty years. ”
"Well, since you used to be an official in the center of the imperial court, it will be easy to do." Feng Wuxian smiled and said, "I think you also know that because Zuo Jinhuan was transferred to the governor of Shandong, the court and the central government have already made a lot of complaints about your appointment as the governor of Jiangsu, and I intend to transfer you back to the capital." The previous vacancy of the left servant of the ministry has always been empty, and since you have been familiar with the envoys of the ministry, I will point this vacancy to you. ”
Although this sentence is light, it is great news in Zuo Fanchen's ears. The governor is from the second grade, and the servants of each department are the second grade, although it is only a first-class difference, but one is the center of the court, and the other is the place, which is a world of difference. When he heard the emperor's words, he was ready to resign, but when the emperor opened his mouth, it was a great grace. Even if he is self-controlled on weekdays, he is a little excited at the moment, and he grabbed the gold bricks on the ground tightly with both hands, and then kowtowed deeply, and replied in a trembling voice: "The emperor is long, it is difficult for Weichen to repay, he must do his best and never live up to the emperor's love." ”
Feng Wuxian smiled and watched Zuo Fanchen leave, only to find that the little Fang Zi beside him had suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help frowning. He called a little eunuch at random, and only then did he learn that the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, Ping Haishi, had come over at the mouth of the Empress Dowager, and Xiao Fangzi hurried over. This was not a big deal, but Feng Wuxian always felt a little strange, but he put it down when he thought about it.
Cining Palace is very lively, except for the queen Hai Ruoxin and the imperial concubine He Xueming, the rest of the concubines are also all here, in addition to the palace concubines who rarely come together. Xiao Fangzi, who arrived in a hurry, was startled when he saw the posture, and after kneeling down to say goodbye, he learned that it was the Queen Mother Xiao who occasionally had a dream, so he summoned everyone to come and solve it.
"It's also strange to say, in the past two years, the mourning family has never dreamed of the first emperor, but last night somehow, the first emperor suddenly dreamed, saying that it was to let the mourning family make a wish in Yuanzhe Temple, and then let the transcription of a thousand "Diamond Sutras" in order to make up for the killing of the year." Xiao Shi saw that all the women were a little uncomfortable on their faces, so they sighed deeply, "Although the mourning family has always believed in Buddhism, they were originally suspicious of such mysterious things, but the first emperor's dream is not trivial, and it is better to believe it than to believe that it is not, so the matter of the "Diamond Sutra" must be helped by you." ”
Xiao Shi's words, Hai Ruoxin and He Xueming agreed with a smile, and the other concubines and concubines still didn't know the reason, and they all agreed with a smile. In any case, there are not many palace maids in each palace who know how to transcribe, but it just takes some effort, but they can please the queen mother, who will be left behind? Even Concubine Rong Yana and Concubine Zhen Mingxiu also opened their mouths and were willing to transcribe ten parts to do their best. Since Lai Shan entered the palace that time, Yana's temperament has become a little silent, but she has been a lot smoother in dealing with people.
Only then did Xiao Shi turn his head to look at Xiao Fangzi, "The emperor was dealing with business before, and it was inconvenient for the mourning family to disturb him about these things. Xiao Fangzi, you will inform me of this later, and see what the emperor means. However, the mourners thought that the emperor was a person with deep filial piety, and they would definitely not despise these. ”
Xiao Fangzi agreed repeatedly, but at the end he smiled and said: "The queen mother and the emperor are close relatives, so naturally they can anticipate the emperor's intentions." The dream of the first emperor is a good omen, and the so-called transcription of the "Diamond Sutra" is also for the overall situation of the imperial court, and the emperor is filial piety, and he will not disobey the queen mother. ”
As soon as his words came out, all the concubines were in ruins, and the Queen Mother Xiao couldn't help laughing and scolding: "No wonder the emperor trusts you wholeheartedly, you listen to this minion's words, it is actually a set, and the lip work is really good." That's it, since the mourning family has summoned you, there are naturally other things. In the past few days, the emperor has never been fortunate to have concubines, and has been resting in the palace of diligence, is there really so much state affairs? ”
Xiao Fangzi saw that the faces of the other concubines were a little strange, and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the slaves don't dare to deceive." There were a lot of newspapers in various places before, and the emperor was a little busy, and sometimes when he saw that the time was not right at night, he simply rested in the Qinzheng Palace. "He is a smart person, of course he knows the intention of Xiao Shi's words, it is nothing more than asking questions on behalf of the concubines. Fortunately, Feng Wuxian did not summon any other palace maids, otherwise this vinegar sea would be in trouble. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 12 Debriefing
