Chapter Forty-Six: The Reception Feast

Li Shuo also understands that he has a long way to go, he entered Shaanxi alone, the officials are not familiar with him, and he is not familiar with those officials, it can be said that his eyes are black, and he can only touch the wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shuo's outfit has not yet been packed, and his own official comes to visit, this person's official position is not low, but he is a political envoy named Cao Dezhang.

Originally, the highest governor of a province was not the governor, but the political envoy of Chengxuan, and the governor was to inspect in place of the Son of Heaven, and it was originally a temporary official position, but since Xuande, most of the governors have not returned to Beijing, and have become the highest governor of a province instead of the political envoy.

Therefore, at this time, although the envoys and governors were called colleagues, they were subordinate deputies.

Li Shuo just came to Shaanxi, of course, he would not be stupid enough to put on any official prestige, and welcomed Cao Dezhang into the lobby.

Cao Dezhang arched his hand and said: "Lord Futai has just arrived in Chang'an, so I shouldn't have bothered, but many officials in Chang'an are looking forward to seeing Lord Futai's face, so let me come over as a lobbyist at this time, and I want Lord Futai to go to the banquet." ”

Li Shuo chuckled and said: "This official has been tired all the way, and he is indeed a little tired, but even if it is the kindness of his colleagues, this official is not easy to refuse, and he is willing to go to the banquet with Cao Bu's political envoy." ”

Cao Dezhang also smiled and said, "Lord Futai, please, the lower official will lead the way." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Shuo followed Cao Dezhang to a restaurant not far from the mansion, and his name was quite elegant, welcoming friends.

At this time, Li Shuo's situation is different from that of Hongbin Lou in Beijing, he is a junior and a subordinate to Li Guopu and Yuan Chonghuan, but at this time he has become the master, this is his home field.

After entering the Yingpeng Residence, hundreds of officials of all sizes in Chang'an City went downstairs to greet him, Li Shuo just arched his hand, did not speak, and went up to the second floor.

Under the guidance of Cao Dezhang and a cadre of officials, Li Shuo sat on the main seat before all the officials sat down.

Li Shuo opened his mouth and said: "This official has just entered Chang'an, I don't know what position you adults hold, can you introduce me." ”

Of course, when these people are introduced, not all officials introduce themselves, but those high-ranking officials who introduce their positions.

The officials knew it in their hearts.

"Xiaguan Song Mingyi, Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Si Zuobu Political Envoy." After listening to these, Li Shuo thought quickly, and turned out Song Mingyi's resume in the Ministry of Officials in his mind, Song Mingyi was a thirty-two year jinshi in Wanli, and served as the head of the Ministry of Household in Beijing, the prefect of Ningbo, and Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department Counselor, participated in politics, and then was promoted to Shaanxi Political Envoy by the Ministry of Officials, and stayed in Shaanxi for a full ten years, which can be described as deep-rooted, and the Ministry of Officials was excellent in the assessment.

Li Shuo nodded and said, "Lord Song is the predecessor of this official, and I hope Lord Song will mention more in the future." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Song Mingyi said modestly.

"Xia Guancheng announced that the political envoy Si Zuo will participate in politics, Huang Ketao."

Huang Ketao, Wanli thirty-five years of Jinshi, after the lift, idle for two years, after being appointed by the Ministry of Officials Kaifeng Prefecture in Mu County, after the expiration of the term, transferred to the Beijing Division of the Ministry of Officials as the director, the first year of the Apocalypse, transferred to Shaanxi, appointed as the prefect of Chang'an, four years of the Apocalypse, and the announcement of the political envoy Department of the Council, six years of the Apocalypse, the resignation of the prefect of Chang'an, Ren Cheng announced the political envoy Division left to participate in politics, the Ministry of Officials assessment is excellent.

Li Shuo nodded and said, "When Lord Guo Yunhou, the head of the household department, served in Kaifeng, you served as a county commander under him. ”

"Lord Futai is right, Xiaguan has worked with Guo Shangshu."

Although Huang Ketao said a little understatement, but Li Shuo did not believe it, as early as when he was in Beijing, Li Shuo had studied many important ministers of Shaanxi officialdom, when Huang Ketao was in Beijing, he was close to the Donglin Party, and when the eunuch party was in power, he could protect himself wisely, all by Guo Yunhou at that time, Li Shuo analyzed the reason why Guo Yunhou protected Huang Ketao, and came to the conclusion that this Huang Ketao is Guo Yunhou's protégé, when the two of them were in Kaifeng Mansion, the relationship was good, when they were in Beijing, every festival, Huang Ketao would always visit Guo Yunhou, and Huang Ketao was able to transfer Shaanxi to serve as the prefect of Chang'an, and Guo Yunhou also made great efforts.

Huang Ketao is a bit strong, and in some things, he will always make his top bosses Song Mingyi and Cao Dezhang unable to come to power, but because he is good at management, there are also a group of officials who are completely loyal to him, and Guo Yunhou is also supported by Guo Yunhou in Beijing, even if Song Mingyi and Cao Dezhang can't look at Huang Ketao, there is nothing they can do.

Huang Ketao is the thorn in the Shaanxi officialdom, but Li Shuo attaches great importance to the thorn, an old and serious official like Song Mingyi dislikes Li Shuo the most, because Lao Cheng's weight means that he is inflexible and stubborn.

After the two finished speaking, an official spoke again: "The lower official will be sentenced to Zhu Cheng, according to the prosecutor's envoy." ”

The Sentencing and Prosecution Department is in charge of the laws of a province, and is responsible for interrogating people, and Li Shuo will often deal with this Zhu Cheng in the future.

"Zhu is a native of Shaanxi?"

"Lord Futai is right, the lower official is from this Chang'an Mansion."

Li Shuo nodded, he was a little embarrassed, because this Zhu Cheng is no better than others, he is a native of Shaanxi, and he has never held a position elsewhere, such a person, let him catch rich businessmen and urge him to ask for food, he will do his best.

After everyone introduced them one by one, Li Shuo would say a word, and the etiquette was thorough.

Among the dozen or so officials introduced next, the one that caught Li Shuo's attention the most was Xu Mengchao, the commander of the Command of the Guard, and Dai Shihui, the commander of the Tongzhi.

Li Shuo picked up the wine glass and stood up, and many officials didn't dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly got up.

"The emperor trusts, hereby appoint this official as the governor of Shaanxi, this official is sincerely afraid, but it is a fait accompli, this official can not retreat, can only work hard for the emperor to do things, I hope that all colleagues in Shaanxi can unite as one, govern Shaanxi well, and relieve the emperor's worries." After finishing speaking, Li Shuo drank it all.

All the officials did not dare to delay, and they all drank their wine glasses.

After a glass of wine, Li Shuo said again: "All of you here are the predecessors of this official, if there is anything inconsiderate about this official in the future, I hope that you adults will mention it more, and you must not break the discipline and the law." ”

Li Shuo's words are the words of the official, who dares to take the officials below seriously, these people all know what kind of character Li Shuo is, and they are the ones who dare to compete with the powerful Wei Zhongxian.

"Lord Futai is serious, who of you don't know that Lord Futai is the closest person to the emperor, the emperor is a heroic young man, a hero among the Futai adults, and the monarch and the minister are one, and they will be able to create a prosperous world together." Cao Dezhang hurriedly said.

It is true that Cao Dezhang, as a political envoy, said such a thing unreasonable, but he was also forced to be helpless, Song Mingyi is a clear stream, Huang Ketao is Guo Yunhou's protégé, and he is a complete eunuch member, when he heard that Cui Chengxiu was arrested, his heart was cold, fortunately the emperor was not pursuing it, only sentenced Cui Chengxiu and others to blame, just when he was a little relieved, Wei Zhongxian died again, and his heart was raised to his throat again, he was really afraid that the emperor who was far away in Beijing would start a reckoning, And Li Shuo, who was standing in front of him, became his lifeline.

At this time, the most famous person in the Ming Dynasty was not Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, nor Yuan Chonghuan, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, but Li Shuo, the governor of Shaanxi, for no other reason, and was favored by the emperor.

Defect to Li Shuo as soon as possible, even if the great reckoning in the future comes, if Li Shuo says a plea, the life of the official position can be saved, how dare Cao Dezhang not care about such a major event related to the life of his family, so after Li Shuo entered Chang'an, the busiest person was him, the right-hand political envoy.
