After the three halls, it is the gate of the inner house, which is where the prefect's family lives, and there is a garden and a pavilion inside, and the environment is very elegant. When Zhu Yuan came to the gate of the inner house and was about to go inside, Xue Tian hurriedly stopped Zhu Yuan and said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, inside is the inner house of Xia Guan, where Humble Jing and his children live, it is really inconvenient to meet guests!" ”

Zhu Yuan didn't want to see Xue Tian's wife, and when he heard him say this, he stopped at the gate of the inner house.

"Lord Xue, your Kaifeng Mansion is good!" It took two years for Kaifeng Mansion to be built, and Xue Tian had just moved in less than two years, so naturally everything was new.

Xue Tian smiled embarrassedly when he heard Zhu Yuan say this: "There, the magistrate is not newer than anyone's mansion, but should be compared to his political achievements. ”

"Lord Xue, you see that there are so many people in the team brought by this king, that post station really can't live, why don't you lend this mansion to this king for a temporary residence? When the king returns north from his errand, he will return it to you immediately. ”

Xue Tian didn't react when he heard Zhu Yuan say this, and asked, "Lord Qincha, what did you say?" ”

"The king said he was staying with you!"

Xue Tian heard it clearly this time, how can this work? This is not the same as the law of the imperial court, it has always been a post station for Qin missions, how can you rob the yamen of the magistrate to live?

"Lord Qincha, this is not in harmony with the law, not to mention that you are a prince, and it is not in harmony with the etiquette and law to live in my mansion. The post station was also newly built last year, so let's ask adults to live there! ”

But Zhu Yuan didn't listen to Xue Tian's explanation at all, and said directly to Ding Changsheng behind him: "Lord Ding, you call everyone in, the soldiers live in the halls on both sides of the hall, if the rooms are not enough, set up tents in the square in front of the lobby, and the second hall is the king's residence, and the third hall is quiet, let the teacher live!" ”

Ding Changsheng didn't care what Xue Tian said at all, he got Zhu Yuan's order and drove into the prefect's yamen with three hundred wolf-like guards.

Ding Changsheng led the Praetorian Guard, the emperor's Imperial Forest Army, not to mention the two hundred brocade guards, these guys are used to being in Beijing, what does it matter what happens to you, they rushed into the left and right rooms one after another, and threw out all the bookstores that were working.

Xue Tian saw that Zhu Yuan was so lawless, and said angrily: "King Yan, you are breaking the law!" You come in to live, what will you do? What about the official's family? Is Kaifeng Mansion still open? ”

Zhu Yuan snorted and said, "Your family can still live in the back house, Lord Xue rest assured!" As for Lord Xue's official business, you can go to Xiangfu County attached to Guo to work! ”

"What about Xiangfu County? What do they do? ”

"Naturally, I'm with Lord Xue! Lord Xue, please go out, this king has been in a hurry for a day and is going to rest! By the way, please also ask Lord Xue to inform the governor Wu Peichang and the political envoy Zhang Jiayu that they will come to the palace tomorrow, and this king will read out his father's holy decree! After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, he walked into the lounge of the second hall, ignoring the angry Xue Tian.

Xue Tian stood at the door and said, "Okay, King Yan, you wait, this official wants to go to the book to join you!" Xue Tian called Huan, but Zhu Yuan didn't pay attention to him at all, and Xue Tian had no choice but to take the officials and officials out of his Kaifeng Mansion.

Tongzhi, the second-in-command of Kaifeng Mansion, was also confused, he had never seen such an unreasonable Qincha, standing at the gate and asking: "Master Futai, what should we do?" ”

Xue Tian had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "You take someone to Fuxiang County first, and this official is going to see Governor Wu!" ”

Wu Peichang, the governor of Henan, was suspended at home at this time pending investigation, so he did not go outside the city to greet Qin Cha today. Wu Peichang placed Zhu Yuan and his entourage in the post station because of his careful thoughts, and the reason was very simple. The post station is next to the governor's yamen, and the scale of the post station is very small, and the guards of the Qin Cha can't live in it at all, so it is convenient for Wu Peichang to monitor the prince Qin Cha.

Of course, Wu Peichang was bold and didn't dare to be unfavorable to Zhu Yuan, he was just afraid that his arrangement would be seen by Zhu Yuan, so he wanted to monitor Zhu Yuan's every move.

Wu Peichang heard that Xue Tian was coming in the mansion, and thought that Xue Tian had arranged for the Qin to come over to report, but he knew that he knew that this was the case after seeing Xue Tian.

Xue Tian was like a motherless child, and when he saw Wu Peichang, he vomited bitterness: "Lord Futai, this King Yan is really rude, he actually forcibly occupied the Yamen of the lower officials, there is no royal law left, the lower officials ask Lord Futai and the lower officials to jointly write a letter to impeach the King of Yan!" ”

Wu Peichang also had a headache when he heard that Zhu Yuan did not live in the post station according to his own arrangement, but forcibly occupied Kaifeng Mansion. Kaifeng Mansion occupies a very wide area, there are more than ten small gates and back doors, and there are seven or eight hundred people who follow the Qin Mission, which is completely impossible to monitor.

Xue Tian sued here, but Wu Peichang had no choice, and now he has been suspended from his official position because he was impeached by Zhang Jiayu, that is, he has no right to go to the book. Wu Peichang sighed and said: "Lord Xue, there is no way for this official, now that the official is suspended at home, there is no way to jointly write a book with Lord Xue, and even Lord Xue himself can't write a book." This official received the news that all the cabinet elders in the DPRK and China had been dismissed from their posts by the emperor, and now the head of the DPRK and China is the Military Aircraft Department. This official estimates that no one will pay attention to your book when it arrives in Beijing. ”

Wu Peichang is right, Xue Tian, you are a fourth-grade prefect, of course, there are five people and six people in the local area, but when you go to the imperial court, you are not a fart, the soft-shelled turtles in the Jinshui River are bigger than your official position, and no one pays attention to the twists and turns of a fourth-grade official like you. At the same time, now all the officials in Beijing are focusing on the execution of the military plane, and no one will pay attention to the twists and turns of your prefect, so Wu Peichang is here to persuade Xue Tian to endure it.

Xue Tian couldn't help it when he heard Wu Peichang say this, and he seemed to have to endure it with his own words.

Wu Peichang saw Xue Tian calm down and asked, "Lord Xue, have you finished arranging everything that the official told you half a month ago?" ”

Wu Peichang was afraid that Qin Cha would really find out what was wrong, so after receiving Ma Mingyuan's letter, he immediately began to fill in the holes, revise the accounts, and fill all the loopholes as much as possible.

Xue Tian's spirit was shocked when he mentioned serious matters, and he said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, Lord Futai, the lower officials have all been dealt with, and those big families in the city have made it clear, don't say useless words when Lord Qincha interrogates them, and they have all agreed!" Fortunately, the political envoy Zhang is also suspended at home, otherwise he is afraid that something big will happen if he secretly stirs up the situation! ”

Wu Peichang groaned: "Those big households are nothing, it's just a matter of some money, and there is no problem with the river embankment outside the city, after all, the river embankment is placed there, mainly the problem of resettlement of displaced people, which is the point." ”

In recent years, because of the cessation of war, many Henan refugees who had fled to Huguang, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili have returned one after another, and in addition to the displaced people from Shandong, Shaanxi, and Shanxi who have been driven south by the local government, Henan has now collected a total of more than one million displaced people.

These displaced people are basically destitute, and they need assistance from the local government when they arrive in Henan, which is a lot of expenses. Half of the tens of millions of silver dollars Zhu Hongsan invested in Henan were used on this, and naturally this is also the hardest hit area where the upper and lower government offices in Henan have extended their hands.

As for the reconstruction of Kaifeng Mansion and the renovation of the Yellow River embankment, these major projects have now been basically completed, and the surface is as clean as new.

Wu Peichang thought about what was missing, and asked: "Lord Xue, the most important thing is the resettlement of the displaced people outside the city, now there are tens of thousands of displaced people outside Kaifeng City who have not been resettled, and there are several counties under the jurisdiction of your Kaifeng Mansion, you must say hello in advance, if there is any problem, the elder Ma Ge in the court will not let you and me go!" ”

Xue Tian also knew that the matter was important, after all, Kaifeng was left in the densely populated prefecture in Henan, and the remaining Luoyang, Nanyang, Henan and other prefectures were not as good as here, and the most important thing was that Kaifeng was the Yellow Flood Area, which must be the top priority of the Qincha inspection.

Kaifeng Prefecture has jurisdiction over 28 counties in four prefectures, and the southernmost Shenqiu County already borders Anhui Province, but Shenqiu is too far away from the Yellow River, and Qincha will not pay attention to it, only Chenliu, Lanyang, Yizheng and other counties around Kaifeng need to be careful.

Xue Tian heard Wu Peichang's question and hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, Lord Futai, the officials of several counties around Kaifeng have gone to see it in person half a month ago, and the hundreds of farms where the displaced people are located have also been prepared, I believe that they can't see anything." ”

Wu Peichang nodded when he heard Xue Tian say this, and said: "I didn't expect that Zhang Jiayu guy was respectful to me on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly collecting black materials from the official. ”

Xue Tian was just a four-rank prefect, and he didn't know about the battles of those bigwigs in the court, and now he heard Wu Peichang say this and asked: "My lord, why is Lord Zhang so difficult to get along with us?" All the benefits are shared by Mr. Zhang! ”

"Hey, Lord Xue, you don't know, Zhang Jiayu is the henchman of the elder Li Zhi, in order to deal with Lord Shoufu, Li Gelao naturally has to collect evidence against Lord Shoufu, this official is the same year as Lord Shoufu, and he was still a waiter of the Ministry of Finance when he was in Guangzhou, so he is naturally the target of their attack."

Xue Tian couldn't help it when he heard Wu Peichang say this, Xue Tian was a native of Zhongxiang, Huguang, although he didn't go south to Guangdong with Zhu Hongsan back then, but he naturally belonged to the Chu Party in the middle of the court, plus Ma Mingyuan had a great favor to Xue Tian, and he was directly promoted from a seven-rank prefect to a four-pin prefect, and Xue Tian was deeply engraved with Ma Mingyuan's mark. So this time, Xue Tian spared no effort to help Governor Wu Peichang, because he knew that if Wu Peichang was unlucky, he would also be unlucky.

After the two finished discussing at the governor's yamen, Xue Tian came out of the yamen and returned home, only to remember that his home had been occupied when he arrived at the yamen. Xue Tian scolded Zhu Yuan in his heart, but there was no way, the soldiers guarding the door did not let him in at all, so Xue Tian had to turn to the back street of the house and enter the back house from the small door.
