Chapter 267: The Most Poisonous Is the Human Heart
The left and right political envoys are from the second grade, and the left and right political participation and discussion are from the third grade and the fourth grade. When he arrived in Beijing, this official position may not be nothing, but in the local area, he is a feudal official. And the land of Shandong from the beginning of Yongle began to dredge the Grand Canal, held a meeting to pass the river, levy a large number of conscriptions, and for several years there were droughts and floods and locust plagues, so the evaluation of the officials of the political envoy department was mediocre, many people have not moved the nest for many years, before Du Zhen fell from the sky to occupy the position of the right political envoy, naturally there are many people who are not satisfied.
Du Zhen is a cold-faced person, he is not smiling and does not have much contact with his colleagues, and there are few people who are secretly spreading rumors, saying that he was ordered by the Holy Decree to secretly investigate whether the officials of the political envoy department are corrupt. So, as soon as the pioneer Du Zhen left Jinan Mansion for Qingzhou, many people secretly moved. After the matter was completed, a group of people detained Qiu again, wanting to search for the virtual physical evidence, if it wasn't for Du Juan rushing back, and even took out Daoyan's original letter, and it was very threatening, they would never stop.
But this news came too quickly!
Although the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di favored the eunuchs, and Zheng He and Zhang Qian and others sailed overseas, in the eyes of most civil and military officials, the eunuchs were nothing more than insignificant eunuchs. At this moment, after the political envoy Zhang Hai and the others knelt down to receive the holy decree and got up, they all turned their resentful eyes on Zhang Yue, who was standing behind Lu Feng in a green shirt.
Everyone knows that Zhang Yue and Du Zhen are teachers and students, and everyone knows that Zhang Yue is the nephew of the British duke. In this silent and stiff atmosphere, a hysterical voice suddenly sounded among a group of officials who had just been dismissed from their posts and lost their souls.
"I want to see the emperor, I don't believe that there is no justice in this world!"
With one of them, several other officials could no longer bear the anger in their hearts, and there was an uproar in the lobby. Zhang Hai, the political envoy of Zuobu, who has been in office for five years, stared at Zhang Yue, and his eyes could almost burst into flames: "Zhang Yue, you rely on the authority of the British government to bully us, don't think you can escape the public discussion of the world!" You are acting in Qingzhou to buy the people's hearts with bad intentions, I ...... We're all going to impeach you! ”
Although he knew that there would be the aftermath of the trapped beast fighting, Zhang Yue didn't expect that someone would stand up at this moment, and he would put a basin on his head sternly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled coldly and was about to speak, but he saw Zuo Xuan, who was participating in politics next to Zhang Hai, suddenly took a step forward, and actually stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose and scolded.
"Du Yishan's crime of overstepping his authority to transfer troops is not forgiven, and you have ulterior motives for privately releasing bandits! Your teachers and students have joined forces to deceive the emperor and persecute Zhongliang, unless everyone in the world is blind, there must be loyal people who will stand up for us! Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are born in a famous family, there are gods when you look up, you must know that the retribution of heaven is not happy! ”
Lu Feng just looked at a group of civil officials who were usually high-spirited and never looked down on eunuchs, and he was proud in his heart, who knew that these people suddenly changed their faces and made a loud noise, and he couldn't help but be stunned. However, hearing their cold words and cold words towards Zhang Yue, he gradually became a little annoyed.
This matter was entrusted to him by the emperor before leaving, Zhang Yue was just assisting from the side, did this group of people forget that he was the main owner of this trip? This is clearly looking down on him!
Most of the eunuchs are dead drills, and the more he thinks about it, the more annoyed he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more tasteless it becomes, so he simply coughed, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is the emperor's holy decree, and our family was sent to read it, what does it have to do with Lord Xiao Zhang?" As soon as the words fell, someone below glared at him, followed by an angry scolding.
"Embarrassed! It's you eunuchs who deceive the emperor! ”
I haven't read a book and don't know words, Lu Feng knows nothing about this idiom, but he always knows that the four words are not good words. He suddenly turned blue, and was about to order the sergeants in the hall to take down all these lawless officials, but he felt someone reach out and press his shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Yue nodding to himself, and he involuntarily took a step back.
Although he is a newcomer, Zhang Yue has always had a lot of eyes. After arriving at the political secretary, he asked the official of the political secretary to inquire about the situation of the Du family's mother and daughter. This time he was a Qincha, and the people below didn't dare to hide it, and he was supposed to tell the truth about the situation in the first month, where would he not know the situation of Qiu and Du Juan. At this time, he took two steps forward, and saw a pair of eyes full of hatred under him, but he smiled indifferently.
"It turns out that all of you adults also know that the retribution of the Heavenly Reason is not happy! You keep talking about being blinded, bullying and bullying, and saying that you are not ashamed to say that heaven is just! Today's emperor knows people and is good at being strong and powerful, and everything he does in his life is a cadre's decision, who can be blinded, who dares to be deceived! On the contrary, you took advantage of the distress of your colleagues to bully other people's wives and daughters, and all kinds of means were used to the extreme, but all scholars in the world who have eyes and ears will be despised! ”
Since he said it, Zhang Yue was too lazy to be polite at this time, so he simply said it happily: "You claim to be loyal, but you can't feed the people, keep one side peaceful, play the truth at the top, and talk about the road below, where is the word loyalty, where is the good word?" It has not been a year or two since the White Lotus cult spread in Shandong, and all of you have been magistrates in Shandong for at least five or six years, seven or eight years, and you have been indifferent to seeing the cult grow bigger, but you can see that the new Lord Du is still standing by and watching the evil cause of the trouble, do you have an inch of merit for the people and an inch of merit for the imperial court? To allow cults to become a place of disaster, if we want to say that we have ulterior motives, this is what we have ulterior motives! Also, are you dazed? Gonggong Lu is an angel who summons the holy order, and if you insult him, you will insult the emperor! ”
"You...... You're arrogant, you're bloody, you're ...... You actually colluded with emasculation! ”
Zhang Yue buttoned down a big hat, and Zuo Buzheng made Zhang Hai retort angrily, and suddenly felt as if something was blocked in his throat, and suddenly fell down and fainted. At this moment, the others couldn't help but be in a hurry, and when they wanted to refute again, Lu Feng didn't give these people a chance, and with a wave of his hand, a group of wolf-like sergeants immediately pounced. This group of guards of the Beijing camp often did this kind of trick in Beijing, and their methods were so skillful that after a while, the hall was empty.
This hall is the hall where the officials of the political secretary are meeting on weekdays, tall and spacious, after Lu Fengyi commanded the order, he suddenly felt a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, you are really eloquent, you actually scolded a person on the spot!" These guys are indeed dazed, and they dare to question the emperor's holy decree, this dismissal is too light, they should be punished for the crime of disrespect, and then chase their seals, so that their children and grandchildren will not be allowed to go out! Don't they keep saying that they are scholars, and our family has to cut off their roots as scholars! ”
Sure enough, it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain!
Zhang Yue understands that the heart of a eunuch is small, and it may not be necessary to repay the grace of a drop of water when the spring is reciprocated, but it is ironclad to repay it. Seeing that Lu Feng's face was full of anger, he said with a smile: "This time we are at the will of the emperor, as long as we report all kinds of things on this trip, the emperor will naturally have a holy judgment." It's wrong to say more, it's wrong to do more, why bother to leave someone with a chance to grab the handle, father-in-law, don't you say? ”
"Lord Xiao Zhang reminded me very much, our family almost made a mistake! These guys are all one foot in the ghost gate, what do you have to do with them? When the time comes, it will be truthfully reported that none of them will be able to escape! ”
Thinking of Zhu Di's past temperament, Lu Feng patted his head and suddenly realized, and immediately bowed to Zhang Yue sincerely. He is only thirty now, and although he lacks an important thing under his head, he sees that the future is very good, and of course he is not willing to give it up easily. Thinking that Zhang Yue has always respected himself along the way, and he often reminds him at critical moments, the more he looks at others, the more pleasing he is. In contrast, he vaguely felt that the newly appointed officials looked down on him as a eunuch, and he was jealous in his heart.
When he left Jinan and went to Qingzhou, he glanced at Jinan Mansion hatefully after getting on the horse, and some vicious thoughts turned in his heart. And Zhang Yue on the side took his move into his eyes, and couldn't help but have a plan in his heart.
Qingzhou post is outside the south gate of Qingzhou, divided into the front post and the mansion. In addition to the main hall, the back hall, the gift room, the storehouse, the kitchen and other dozens of rooms, there are also 20 stables, with nearly 100 horses, enough to cope with the general official mail. The mansion is to entertain officials, the gatehouse is bright, the main hall is three, there are four courtyards, all of them are three main rooms, two rooms in the north and south wings, arranged by the post according to the official grade.
Although he is a petty official who is not in the stream, Yicheng Xu Sansheng is very satisfied with his situation. It is more difficult to usher in the delivery, but as long as you manage the accounts well, you can always have a surplus after receiving money, grain, firewood and charcoal every month, but it is much easier than bothering to drill the camp and become an official. Besides, he has been a post for ten years, and he has the know-how to serve the officials.
Serving the civil officials is not tight, and the most they can do is to sue for small shoes to wear, but serving the military attache or the royal clan is different, and the slightest sloppiness may be whipped. So, when he learned that Lord Qincha was going to live in the mansion of Qingzhou Station this time, he was so sad that even his hair turned white. There are also 500 soldiers from the Beijing Battalion with him, and he can't even vacate his house! It wasn't until the evening of that day that he ushered in those who stood in front of him that his worries turned into joy.
At this time, the strong man who followed him walked around the entire mansion, and his face was full of courteous smiles: "Master Peng, since it is Lord Xiao Zhang who is on a mission this time, why don't you go to live in Qingzhou Mansion?" The little ones are only worried about the shabby and shabby mansion......"
"It's not like we haven't lived in it last time, what's shabby and shabby?" Peng Shisan looked at the clean and bright main room with satisfaction, and then turned around and ordered, "You tell those handymen to serve carefully, our family has a good temperament, and that Father-in-law Lu is inevitably a little picky, but as long as you are respectful, there will be no mistakes." All in all, you remember, when the time comes, you will do whatever the adults tell you to do, and your benefits will be indispensable afterwards! ”
