Chapter 32: Return to Beijing
"In May of the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing, tens of thousands of anti-people besieged Huaiqingfu City and besieged it for several days. Chen Di, the county magistrate www.biquge.info of Qinyang, led 80 government officers and 300 righteous people to break the enemy army. The anti-people leader Zhen Henan was captured alive, and all the anti-people surrendered. Chen Di should be the first credit! Chen Di is the commander of Qinyang County, and he works hard to make Qinyang a peaceful and prosperous world, and the road is not left behind, and the door is not closed at night。。。。。。 Minister, Henan according to the envoy Gao Wenze. Minister, Huaiqing Prefecture Governor Long Zixing Joint Protection. ”
On Emperor Jiajing's desk, there is a joint defense of Chen Di by Gao Wenze and Long Zixing.
Emperor Jiajing looked at Long Yan Dayue and said three "good" in a row.
Lu Fang, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, asked Emperor Jiajing: "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?" ”
Emperor Jiajing handed the fold to Lu Fang: "Look at it, this Chen Di is really a young genius!" With a few hundred people, he subdued tens of thousands of anti-people! Such a person is overkill to be a county order! Should be reused! ”
Lu Fang has long regarded Chen Di as his own person, Emperor Jiajing is so happy, he naturally wants to say a few more good words for Chen Di: "The Holy Tomorrow is not the emperor, and the Ming Dynasty has produced such talents, which is a blessing from God to the emperor to respect heaven and love the people!" ”
Emperor Jiajing said: "Proposed purpose, Chen Di will return to Beijing, be promoted to the third level, and the officials will be selected and sent to errands!" ”
Lu Fang shouted long live again.
Qinyang County, Henan.
Thousands of people are seeing Chen Di off.
A septuagenarian said: "Alas, for many years, there has not been a good official in Qinyang who loves the people like you!" How can this be said and go! ”
Chen Di arched his hand and said: "The old man has a good reputation!" I can't bear the folks of Qinyang, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey! ”
At this time, Huang Batian was already wearing the uniform of a military attache who was a seventh-grade guerrilla. After the siege of Huaiqing was lifted, Chen Di begged General Wang to recruit Huang Batian and his brothers, who were now the guards under Huaiqing.
Huang Batian picked up a bowl of wine: "Lord Chen, you have removed the scourge of Liu Mingtian for Qinyang, and let our brothers have an official salary, don't say much about gratitude, it's all in the wine!" ”
Huang Batian drank it all.
Thousands of Qinyang people knelt like jade pillars at this time.
"Master Chen, don't go!"
"Master Chen, how can we live when you leave?"
The people wept.
Chen Di said: "Folks, everyone get up!" As an official, it should naturally benefit one party. It's a pity that the term of office has not expired, and the emperor has announced that I have entered Beijing! I Chen Di can't forget Qinyang, and I can't forget the people of Qinyang! ”
Thousands of people gave Chen Di a Wanmin umbrella.
Before Chen Di took office in Qinyang, the people of Qinyang, who were suffering from the three disasters of water, drought and locusts, and the four evils of bandits, witches, Liu, and Wang, were breathless. When he left office, the four evils were eliminated, and the three disasters seemed to be no longer in Qinyang for a while and a half. That's a lot of work.
Chen Di said goodbye to the people of Qinyang and embarked on the road back to Beijing.
Old housekeeper Yan, Liang Erhei and maid Xiaohong accompanied Chen Di back to Beijing together.
Chen Di was ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing. The story of this 14-year-old boy county commander riding a donkey and leading hundreds of people to defeat tens of thousands of anti-people has already been spread all over the officialdom. Therefore, the post stations passing through on the way back to Beijing are all extremely attentive.
You must know that Chen Di is only fourteen this year. The emperor ordered him to return to Beijing and add a third-level appointment, then he would be an official of the fifth grade!
The fourteen-year-old official of the fifth grade, except for those noble descendants of Meng Zuyin, the Ming Dynasty has never been.
Chen Di went all the way to the capital unimpeded.
After entering Beijing, he first reported to the Ministry of Officials. Then I went to visit my teacher Yan Song.
As soon as he entered the Yan Mansion, Yan Song greeted him.
"Haha, you're really a young talent! You did a good job in Henan, and I heard Gonggong Lu say that the emperor is full of praise for you! Yan Song said.
Chen Di said humbly: "It's not all Yan Cifu, you taught well!" ”
Yan Song smiled: "Your kid's mouth is very sweet." ”
After a moment, Yan Song restrained his smile.
Chen Di saw that Yan Song's face was not good, so he asked, "Yan Cifu, who are you?" ”
Yan Song sighed: "You just returned to Beijing, you don't know the situation in Beijing, right?" ”
Chen Di asked, "Jingli?" Situation? Please also give you the help of Yan Cifu. ”
Yan Song said: "Zhai Luan has already torn his face with me. The spokesmen of the Six Science Corridors are all his people, and these days, he has gathered the spokesmen of the Six Science Corridors to weave all kinds of charges and attack our people. ”
Yan Song said "our people", which means that Chen Di is also regarded as a strict party.
Chen Di said: "In this way, the officialdom of the capital must be rumored?" ”
Yan Song said: "Not only is the wind and the rumors are loud, but also the grass and trees are soldiers!" Extremely suspicious! Our people can only be cautious and try not to let the officials under Zhai Luan catch the handle. ”
Yan Song said again: "The emperor's will for you is to return to Beijing and add a third-level appointment, don't be too happy." Don't forget, Zhai Luan is now also the secretary of the ministry! He will never give you anything to lose! ”
Chen Di is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally knows that in the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing, the first assistant Zhai Luan and the second assistant Yan Song set off a party dispute. I don't know how many officials have fallen victim to party strife. Chen Dicai didn't want to be a victim. Now he can send him to the following as a magistrate to avoid this bloody storm in the officialdom of the capital.
Chen Dubai said goodbye to Yan Song and returned to his courtyard.
After returning from Qinyang, Chen Di brought back Liang Erhei and the maid Xiaohong, and there were more people in the courtyard.
At dinner, it was also lively.
Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, Xiaohong, plus Liang Erhei, Yan Lao Butler, and Chen Di gathered around the table to eat.
Originally, Chen Di was the master, and according to the rules, the maid and the housekeeper could not eat at the same table with him.
Chen Di doesn't care which set of rules, the rules are used to break.
Chen Di teased Xiaoqing while eating: "Sister, you haven't seen me for more than half a year, do you miss me?" ”
Xiaoqing smiled stupidly and didn't answer.
Liang Erhei ate an amazing amount of food, and he actually ate six or seven bowls of rice in one go. Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, and Xiaohong were dumbfounded.
Old Butler Yan smiled and said, "I've seen something that can be eaten, but I've never seen you eat so much." You kid, this is going to eat poor, our lord! ”
Chen Di smiled: "A few bowls of rice are not poor for me." ”
Chen Di finished eating and went back to the bedroom to rest.
Lying on the bed, he fell into deep thought.
When I went to Yan Song today, I saw that his tone had already regarded himself as a party.
But Yan Song is a notorious traitor in the history books! Do you want to follow Yan Song for 10,000 years?
Chen Di suddenly thought of Hu Zongxian.
Hu Zongxian is a famous minister of Jiajing. Later historians said that the imperial court could not live without the southeast for a day, and the southeast could not be without Hu Zongxian for a day.
Hu Zongxian was also attached to Yan Song, and with Yan Song's favor, he grasped the power, and then pacified the southeast troubles.
Learn from Hu Zongxian yourself! To Yan Songxu and the snake.
It's not the means to do things that matter, it's the result that matters.
If he can really benefit the people, Zhongxing Daming will not be in vain for this journey.
