Chapter Ninety-One: The Governor of the City
On the way back, remembering Chen Hong's embarrassed expression at that time, Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
In front of everyone's eyes, Chen Hong didn't dare to repay the debt, and bowed to Lin Zhao in public.
Naturally, the great opportunity could not be missed, so Lin Zhao picked up the teacher's shelf and admonished him a few words, not to mention how ugly Chen Hong's face was.
The reason why the bet is to let Chen Hong perform the teacher ceremony means that this guy has to bow his head every time he meets, and he can be humiliated for a long time and retaliate in a civilized way.
However, the life circle has no intersection with Chen Hong, so Lin Zhao did not take it to heart...... But sometimes things are so evil, the next morning, a servant came to report, the emperor's edict arrived!
The Emperor's Edict?
Lin Zhao was really a little surprised, a few days after he returned to Jiangning on the front foot, how did the edict come so quickly?
Offences? Probably not, otherwise it wouldn't be easy to leave Bianjing!
Could it be another delegation? That's too fast, right? Lin Zhao imagined that even if the emperor had the heart to activate himself, it should be at least a few months later. A few days ago, the movement in Bianjing was too big, and it was necessary to avoid the limelight. What's more, Zhao Ji also has to give his queen mother some face, right?
So it should be a punishment, even if it is an appointment, it must be degraded!
But he is only an eight-grade sesame official, how far can he be degraded? Lin Zhao accepted the decree with trepidation, and it was an official of the Ministry of Rites who came to announce the decree, and he was very polite to Lin Zhao because he had the guidance of Zhang Zongyi in Langzhong before he came.
The emperor's decree was attached great importance to the emperor's decree and was respectful. Gu Qi had a worried face, he thought that his nephew would be able to stay away from the court and danger for at least a while, but he didn't expect to ...... again so soon No matter what the content of the edict is, it is a curse or a blessing...... In the antechamber, the decree is announced!
There was not a word about the punching of King Qi, and Zhao Hao on Bianjing's side had already been forced to speak, it was just a misunderstanding. Of course, the discerning person still knows it...... The content of the holy decree is just one thing, Lin Zhao has a new place to go, and he is transferred to the Liangzhejiang Road Lifting City Division.
With the rise of the Maritime Silk Road in the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of overseas trade, the city shipping department was set up in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Mizhou, Xiuzhou and other places on the southeast coast, and a promotion officer was set up in each place to deal with related affairs!
Lift, control, too!
The Liangzhelu City Ship Division is located in Hangzhou, and Lin Zhao's new position is to serve as the promotion officer of the Hangzhou/City Ship Division.
What are the specific grades of the official position, and what exactly is responsible for, Lin Zhao is not very clear for the time being. However, there are still some concepts of the city, the responsible agency for overseas trade in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, which is equivalent to the customs of later generations!
If it is to be placed in the future generations, it will definitely be a first-class good unit, and everyone will compete for it.
However, although the amount of overseas in the Song Dynasty seems to have increased a lot, after all, the proportion is still too small, and the degree of attention is really average.
The scholars and doctors, who have always regarded themselves as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, have a great sense of superiority, and they don't look down on those barbarians from overseas at all, and they don't pay much attention to overseas trade. At that time, there was a lot of tribute trade, or a loss-making trade!
Therefore, the Yamen of the City Bo Division may have some oil and water to be gained, but the important surname and status are really not high. Aspiring officials, especially Qingliu, don't look down on them at all, and being promoted to the city department is a bit of a derogatory in disguise!
As expected! beat King Qi, in the end, it angered the queen mother, Zhao Ji didn't take any practical action, and it was obviously not good if he didn't give an explanation. Since he did not judge the crime in accordance with the law, and prevaricated with misunderstandings, it is reasonable that his official position has been degraded.
Well, let's go to the city!
Although Bianjing is good, in recent years, it has been a big whirlpool, the center of the storm of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is good to avoid it temporarily.
Fortunately, it is in Hangzhou, the place is good, not a poor country. Fly up to the peak, worship Lingyin Temple, go to the West Lake to go around, the broken bridge and the remaining snow, the three pools reflect the moon, maybe you can meet a white lady...... And Hangzhou is not far from Jiangning, so if you have the opportunity to come back to visit relatives or something, it is much more convenient!
But after Lin Zhao learned more about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly!
Perhaps because the city shipping department was not very valued, and the organization and subordination were very unclear, and its responsibility was to take charge of the cargo ships of the Yinan Domain. It is reasonable to say that it is under the jurisdiction of the Transshipment Division, but at the same time, it is also subject to the local governor, general judgment, and county, and the supervisor is also inspected, and the transshipment envoy is in general.
That is, a small official with sesame mung beans, he has to be controlled by officials from all walks of life in Hangzhou, and he is under the eaves, and it is not easy to mix in the future.
At the same time, Lin Zhao also remembered that Chen Hong's father, Chen Qi, was the magistrate of Qiantang County, Hangzhou, and the city department was located in Qiantang County.
What is the concept? I thought that I would have no intersection with Chen Hong again, so I could not meet from time to time in the future. Yesterday, he said that he was deflated by the Qinhuai River, and he came to say that his father Chen Qi would not declare his personal vendetta? What's more, there is still the grievance of Chen Xuan's death, and before he took office, the enemy family already had a ...... Lin Zhao didn't know that when he went to Hangzhou, there was more than one enemy!
At the same time, Zhao Zhongshan, Marquis of Fushui, was also on his way to Hangzhou. The last time the matter of Jiangnanju was big, it was he who jumped Zhao Hao to Jiangnanju to find fault, but he had the intention of sowing discord and using Zhao Hao...... He never expected that Lin Zhao would have the courage to punch the prince, Zhao Hao was injured, and the Empress Dowager Gao was distressed. In addition to holding the main culprit Lin Zhao responsible, if he knew that he was playing a role in it, he would not be spared.
Zhao Zhongshan is a little weak-hearted, the thirteenth aunt is not easy to mess with! I didn't dare to continue to stay in Bianjing, so I wanted to go out to avoid the limelight. Where to go? His father is Zhao Zongyong, the king of Yuhang County, so naturally he went to his fiefdom of Hangzhou...... The children of the royal family are very well informed. Zhao Zhongshan soon received the news that Lin Zhao would be appointed as the promotion officer of the Hangzhou/City Shipping Division, and he was immediately puzzled!
Dad and eldest brother have been operating in Hangzhou for many years, and the imperial court has noticed some of the moves, and they are somewhat worried. At this time, Lin Zhao suddenly went to Hangzhou, even if he was just an unpopular promotion official, and the city department was not the main yamen...... But Lin Zhao's identity is special, but Wang Anshi's person, no, to be precise, it should be Emperor Zhao Ji's person...... This time, Lin Zhao caused a catastrophe in Bianjing, if it weren't for the support of Emperor Zhao Xuan, how could he be safe? personally took Lin Zhao to pay tribute to Tang Jie, and protected Lin Zhao in disguise...... Zhao Hao was beaten, how angry the Queen Mother was, and even reprimanded Zhang Piguang, who was "nosy...... But in the end, he swallowed his anger and said that Zhao Hao's beating was a misunderstanding...... What is the power that can make the Queen Mother stop? Who else will there be besides Emperor Zhao? The maintenance of Lin Zhao has reached this level, but it is the treatment of a henchman!
Zhao Zhongshan even doubted whether some of Lin Zhao's actions were instructed by Zhao Hao behind his back, whether it was the Ayun case or Zhao Hao's case, the final big winner was the emperor!
Although Zhao Ji is only in his early twenties, he is about the same age as himself, but his tactics and methods are not bad at all.
Many people think that Lin Zhao's demotion to Hangzhou was Zhao Ji's explanation to his mother and younger brother, but Zhao Zhongshan thinks that this matter does not seem to be so simple...... Thinking of his own affairs, Zhao Zhongshan was even more uneasy, he felt that he had to discuss with his father and eldest brother as soon as possible, and he should be careful to guard against Lin Zhao......~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ who also received the news and Chen Hong, after Qin Huaihe was humiliated that night, he had been thinking about revenge, so he was quite concerned about Lin Zhao.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao was transferred to Hangzhou, and Chen Hong almost laughed out loud when he received the news. His father is the magistrate of Qiantang County, and to some extent he is Lin Zhao's top boss. The Chen family is in Hangzhou, and it can be regarded as a deep-rooted snake-like existence...... Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao, this is fate, where to go is not good, partial birth is Hangzhou. If you don't go to heaven and hell if you don't go in, then don't blame me for being rude!
But that night was really embarrassing, Chen Hong had a lot of hatred in his heart, and he couldn't eat for several days. He is a quick surname, otherwise he would not have seen Lin Zhao that night, he was full of hatred, humiliation and revenge, and ended up lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot...... A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, this will not work in Chen Hong, and it is another thing to go to Hangzhou to clean up Lin Zhao. Before that, you have to take revenge and vent your evil anger...... From Jiangning to Hangzhou, it is not close to say, and some sections of the road are still in the wilderness. In recent years, although the public security in Jiangnan is good, it is not surprising to encounter bandits who rob homes and houses...... Hmph......~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ on the flower boat of the Qinhuai River, Yu Tong was very efficient, and came to report: "Miss, I have already found out, the son who guessed the lantern riddle is named Lin Zhao, and he was originally a scholar in the Meng Mansion in Jiangning......"
"But the author of 'but sniffing the green plum'?" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Mu Sihong had already reacted, Lin Zhao's song "Dotting Lips" was quite famous in Jiangning, and some people in Qinhuai River also staged it. If it were him, it would not be surprising that he guessed the riddle...... Yu Tong nodded and said: "It's him, this person went to Bianjing last year, and because he solved a big case, he became an official." The official family gave him the background of Jinshi and served as the chief secretary of Honglu Temple to envoy Liao...... Years ago, he was a man of the year in Bianjing......"
They had their own sources, and they soon learned about Lin Zhao's deeds!
Mu Sihong couldn't help but marvel, in just half a year, he has done so many earth-shattering things, this Lin Zhao is really unusual! Wang Anshi's confidant, the emperor is so fond of him, it can be said that he has a bright future...... Originally, it was just an exclamation, she couldn't care how good Lin Zhao was, and she didn't care! You can hear Yu Tong continue: "The imperial court has just issued an edict, and Lin Zhao will be appointed as the official of Hangzhou/City......"
The two words Hangzhou jumped into his ears, and Mu Sihong was suddenly shocked!
This person's ability is extraordinary, and the key is that the power behind it is strong, and there are many big names who support it...... Can he go to Hangzhou to open up the situation? Can you take advantage of him?
I haven't been able to think of a good way, the reason is that there is no power, and now it seems to be a good opportunity...... Especially that night, the conflict between Lin Zhao and Chen Hong, and I also heard that Lin Zhao and the Chen family had a grudge against their son...... So much better!
The Chen family is afraid that they will not give up, but is Lin Zhao a kind person? A person who dares to punch the prince and kill the prime minister must be bold...... If you grasp it well and make use of it, a Chen family will not be a problem...... Even those who are behind the evil are not impossible...... Mu Sihong breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered: "Let's go, let's go to Hangzhou too!" ”
It is foreseeable that this spring, Hangzhou will be very lively......
