Chapter 1 This is not a Hongmen feast, this is a severed head meal
Unlike in the previous life, in this world, the Ming government divided the Western Regions into three political envoys, Altai, Hotan and Ili, and Hamiwei was directly assigned to the Gansu political envoys. Since the area around Lake Balkhash was taken by the Russians, the poor Ili envoys have become unusually small, and the population under their control is not as large as that of a province in a rich area, and all kinds www.biquge.info of statistics make the other envoys want to laugh.
But in any case, the Ili envoy was also one of the few feudal officials in the country, because the authority of this envoy was not limited to the administrative field, but also governed the military and political logistics of several legions in the jurisdiction. The situation in the Northwest Frontier has always been a bit special, a few years ago when the opposite side was Tsarist Russia, it was fine, but after the side was dyed red by Lenin over the years, troubles have been one after another, and countless conflicts have erupted. Under such circumstances, the imperial court also gave greater authority to the envoys - in fact, it is more appropriate to call them jiedu envoys.
Let me ask, even if the population under the jurisdiction of this political envoy is small, who will underestimate him?
And such a senior official was very enthusiastic about me.
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a thief, but I am a little confused about Chen Siying's enthusiasm. Although I am now a second-class jinshi who has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world, I am too far behind a feudal official like Chen Siying, no matter how you think about it, he doesn't have to pay so much attention to me, right? Whether you want to trap me or use me, just give me an order, don't I have to do it obediently?
In the evening, Chen Siying held a feast in the natural residence and invited many bureaucrats in Yili. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, he opened his mouth leisurely: "Zi Shu, ......"
"The juniors are here." I hurriedly bowed my hand. Although these messy etiquette is very troublesome, I have become accustomed to it after more than 20 years of travel.
"Don't be so reserved. I just want to ask, is your heart still okay? Chen Siying asked with a hearty smile, "Tell the truth." ”
Well? Is my teacher on good terms with him? I don't know about it. Because my teacher seems to be trying to show his ambition, or maybe to avoid suspicion or some other reason, he has long since stopped associating with any old officials who have official status.
But since he said so, I can only answer honestly: "My teacher's body is still healthy, but he seems to have been obsessed with Burgundian science fiction recently, and he has been sleepless all night, lying on the bed all night to read." ”
"Tut, after so many years, Xinquan is really still the same." Chen Siying shook her head and smiled, "As a disciple, you have to take good care of your teacher, so old people are doing things more and more like a child." ”
"What the master taught me." I quickly replied with a smile. Since Chen Siying has the heart to treat me as a nephew, then I naturally have to properly beat the snake with the stick and call him uncle.
At this point, I began to wonder if I was too suspicious. Maybe Chen Siying was so enthusiastic about me because of my teacher's face.
After talking and laughing for a while, Chen Siying suddenly left the banquet in a hurry, the old man seemed to have some gastrointestinal problems, and had to go to the toilet, and other officials rushed up to greet me when they seized the opportunity.
"Brother Zhen was a blockbuster this time, and the words of 'an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood' even His Majesty was shocked when he saw it, and he immediately praised it, presumably it was already in the emperor's heart. When he is prosperous and rich, don't forget my colleagues. ”
"Yes, yes, although Zishu is only the fourth in the second class this time, but this is what His Majesty personally said, 'The future of this sub-country, when it is tempered, the champion is still rewarded to those old men', in terms of scenery and gold content, the old man of the West Mountain is far inferior to Zishu."
"Don't dare. Compared with your lords, I'm just a young offspring who has just won the crown, and I'm still far from you in terms of talent and experience. In the future, we need a lot of support from all of you. However, if there is a place for late birth, the late born will definitely do their best. Late life is the first to do it as respect. "I've been practicing social kung fu for a long time. didn't twist at the moment, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, which attracted everyone to applaud in unison.
It's a pity that there are only civilian officials at this banquet, but there are no officers and nobles, and I still want to know some generals and colonels compared to civilian officials.
"If Zishu can come back from the broken leaves, he must have a smooth sailing career, and he will not be able to enter the cabinet one day." A middle-aged fat man laughed half-drunk.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the banquet instantly became weird. Everyone looked at me.
"Uh...... What do you mean by this, Lord Gan? "I'm a little confused. I vaguely remember this fat man's surname was Gan, and he was an official in charge of cultural affairs in the Ili Bu Political Envoy Department.
"Well, don't you know yet? Zhen Sheng, the procedure for you to take office must be carried out in the territory of Broken Leaves. "Maybe he's really drunk, this fat man doesn't have any scruples when he speaks, "You don't worship heaven and earth in Broken Leaf County, how can you complete the appointment procedure to appease the common people?" Although it is now occupied by the Rakshasas, you can work in Ili, but this process needs to be done......"
After hearing this, my heart was cold. It turns out that this is not a reception banquet, but a severed head meal! No wonder Chen Siying received me so warmly, and invited officials of all sizes in Yili to dinner, it turned out that I was able to go on the road with peace of mind before I died!
The Ming Dynasty has always refused to recognize the legitimacy of the Soviet Union regime, and has never established formal diplomatic relations, but has always recognized the Tsarist Russian government-in-exile in Frankfurt, or rather, the Romanovs. Although there has been a centuries-long friction between the two, there is a surprising unanimity in dealing with the Red regime...... Therefore, if I enter the zone of actual control of the Soviet Union, there will definitely be a rhythm of going and no return! If you are lucky, you will be killed by the Soviet Union army with guns, and if you are unlucky, you may be sent to Leningrad prison...... You read that right, squatting in prison is much more terrible than direct shooting, and the notoriety of the Soviet Cheka is known to everyone.
But why didn't I know I had to go through such a procedure? No one told me before I came, it's hairy!
"I'm a little anxious, can you allow the late student to go to the toilet first." I smiled dryly and slipped out of the banquet room.
When I came to the toilet, I trembled and dialed the phone of my teacher, Qian Ruoshan, a resident of Xinquan: "Hey, old man, I'm going to die!" I'm really going to die! You can finally marry your little sister to someone else, are you satisfied? ”
At this point, I've brought a crying voice.
