Chapter 152 Coming to Jining Again
"Drive, drive......"
On the mountain road 60 miles away from Jining City, more than 400 horsemen are galloping at high speed with two carriages, and there are several Ming and Yellow Dragon Flags on the first carriage, showing the dignity of the identity of the owner of this carriage, this team of people and horses is extremely fast, and in an instant they have rushed out of the mouth of the canyon where the two mountains are facing each other, and the tall city wall of Jining City is already visible in the distance.
In the spacious carriage, the third master and Hongqing sat side by side, but they never spoke, they closed their eyes and recuperated, left and right should be said, this way, they have already been said thoroughly, the things that should be explained, have already been explained, the rush of the trip 120,000 points tired, the father and son have no interest in talking more, just quietly waiting for the moment of breakup - disaster relief is like firefighting, the father and son completed all the procedures for leaving Beijing three days ago, without the slightest delay, nor did they choose a safe waterway, Instead, he rushed to his destination by carriage, the difference was that the third master was going to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan, while Hongqing was going to the Yamen of Hecao, the governor of Jining, alone, but there was a way to go together, and the father and son sat in the same carriage.
"Lord Wang, the three forks have arrived!"
After the rapid procession rushed out of the mountain road, it did not stop for a moment, and rushed forward along the road like a whirlwind, and when it galloped straight to a three-way crossing, the convoy came to a steady stop, and the new commander of the palace guard, Sahaninggu, jumped off his horse, and walked to the front of the carriage, bowed, and said a word respectfully.
"yes, got it."
Hearing the sound, the third master Huo Ran opened his eyes, but his body did not move, and after replying in a calm voice, he turned his gaze to Hongqing, who was sitting on the side in a regular manner, and said in a deep voice: "Qing'er, go to Jining, and be careful, don't act impulsively, and be cautious in everything." ”
"The father taught me, and the child remembered."
The third master's confession is just a routine, these days, the same words, he old man has said it many times, I have heard Hongqing's ears calloused, but I can mumble in my heart, when it is time to be humble, Hongqing is not ambiguous at all.
"Well, just remember, let's go, when you return to Beijing, Ama will make a marriage for you!"
The third master has absolute confidence in Hongqing's ability, don't look at his age, but he really does something, but he is extraordinarily sophisticated, even if this time he went to the Yamen of the Governor of Hecao is the first time that Hongqing has run an errand independently, the third master has nothing to worry about, but seeing Hongqing's serious little appearance is quite interesting, this is a trick, and after explaining a sentence, he suddenly changed his tone and teased Hongqing with a smile.
“……”
As soon as he heard the word "Dingqin", Hongqing's forehead suddenly burst into black lines, his eyes rolled, and he gave the third master a big roll of his eyes in annoyance.
"Hahaha......"
As soon as Hongqing's embarrassed little look came out, the third master couldn't help but laugh wildly, laughing so much that tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes, and he really couldn't say more, so he just waved his hand indiscriminately and motioned for Hongqing to go away.
"Take care, father, the child is leaving!"
Along the way, because of the matter of marriage, Hongqing has not known how many times he has been teased by the third master, although he is still inevitably annoyed, but after all, he is tired, and he is too lazy to say it again, just respectfully saluted, got off the carriage by himself, stood on the road, and after a while, three hundred of the four hundred horses were divided, and the luxurious horse farm surrounded by the third master turned onto the southward fork in the road, and went far away like flying.
"Little prince, the prince is far away, I'll leave later."
Liu San'er rode a horse for the first time to catch up with the long distance, and after three days of wild running, the poor little ass was grinding off the skin, and it was quite difficult to walk at this time, but the spirit was still very full, and he crossed his legs, and he rushed to Hongqing's side like a crab, and asked for a word of advice.
"Let's go, go to Jining City!"
Hongqing glanced at Liu San'er, didn't say much, turned around, got into the carriage behind, and when the curtain fell, Liu San'er was already roaring excitedly, and then saw the team of people and horses turn to the east fork, like a whirlwind to Jining City, dozens of miles away......
"Look, here, here, here!"
At the Wuli Pavilion outside the north gate of Jining City, Shandong Governor A Jintai and the new Governor of Hecao Liangzhu each led their subordinate officials to stand beside the road, waiting for the arrival of the Qincha driver, with a cloud of smoke rising from behind the hill not far away, the excited new Shandong political envoy Meng Guangzu couldn't help but sigh.
"Ready to take over!"
As soon as I heard that Meng Guangzu was talking nonsense there, Ah Jintai's heart was suddenly crooked for a while, originally, Hongqing's business trip to Jining this time is not about the ground in Shandong at all, logically speaking, as the governor, A Jintai can come to pick up the driver, or not to pick up the driver, if you come, it is human favor, not to come is common sense, and there are two deputies - the political envoy Meng Guangzu and the envoy Sunada, one is the third master's doorman, and the other is the third master's servant, the two guys can be vigorously tinkering to take over, Stunned to make A Jintai not want to come, he was disgusted with Meng Guangzu's villain Dezhi in his heart, and at this time, seeing Meng Guangzu's excitement as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, he couldn't help but be a little angry, but he was annoyed, and when he thought of Hongqing's shrewdness like a demon, A Jintai didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to straighten the official robe on his body, and gave the order with a solemn face.
"Solo, play fun!"
The car drove quickly, and the smoke and dust behind the hill had just risen for a while, and the cavalry of the brigade was already hugging a luxury carriage and roaring out of the bend of the mountain, rushing towards Wuli Pavilion like a spark, and when it was about to get closer, it was Meng Guangzu who snorted and shouted, which immediately made A Jintai so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but he was afraid of the relationship between Hongqing and Meng Guangzu and others, so he could only endure it angrily.
"Xiaguan Shandong's governor A Jintai led the subordinate officials of Tong Province to welcome Lord Qincha!"
"Xiaguan Hecao Governor Liangzhu led his subordinates to greet Lord Qincha!"
……
In the case of stealing and selling grain depots last year, A Jintai also made some contributions, although the position was not mentioned, but he got the title of the secretary of the processing department, which was considered to be a level, and now he is already a dignified member of the second grade, and the ranking has been above the governor of Hecao, who is also the second grade, and when the carriage stopped, he was already the first to take a step forward, bowed down and sang, and Liangzhu, who was transferred to the governor of Hecao last year, did not dare to be careless, and then also stepped forward and bowed and saluted - Hongqing is just the identity of the deputy Qincha, Before the holy decree was revealed, according to the rules, there was no need to pay a big salute, and besides, although the official titles of Ah and Liang were far below Hongqing, they were feudal officials after all, and they didn't need to make a big salute when they usually met.
"Lord Ah, Lord Liang, all the princesses, please excuse me."
As soon as the curtain on the carriage moved, Hongqing had already stepped out of the carriage under the service of Liu San'er and others, and walked unhurriedly to the two people who bowed and saluted, raised his hand very familiarly, and said politely.
"Lord Xie Qincha is very loving."
Although Hongqing people are still in their childish years, what they have done over the years has already spread all over the Qing Dynasty officialdom, and no one dares to regard them as childish, even if Hongqing is polite, everyone does not dare to lose their manners, and they are grateful.
"My lord, it's been a long time, but you're still in such spirits, it's really gratifying."
Although Hongqing doesn't like to be polite, he can play this set, but he is also very familiar with it, and he opened his mouth with a smile and praised A Jintai.
"The little prince is polite, polite, the lower officials are old, they can't compare to the youth and heroism of the little prince, ashamed, ashamed."
A Jin Tai is the prince's disciple, and it is not the same as Hongqing, but because of the previous disaster relief, it can be regarded as some friendship, at this time seeing Hongqing so kind, his heart is quite useful, and he smiled so much that his old face was wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and the displeasure that came to greet him from afar earlier disappeared.
"A man, this Beizi came to Jining on a business trip, just to coordinate the matter of the Hecao Yamen, but it has nothing to do with the place, you come to welcome from afar, it is really a lot of chatter, you preside over the overall situation of Shandong, the government affairs are busy, you can't be delayed because of this Beizi, if it is also played by the official, then it is the pass of this Beizi, and the wind and dust are all exempted, and please ask Lord A and the princes to return together, all the intentions, Benbeizi all understand, you think so good?"
Hongqing was not arrogant because of the emperor's order, nor did he plan to entangle with the local officials in Shandong, so he ignored the anticipation of Meng Guangzu and others there, and gave an order with a smile, although the words were polite, but the inside was full of persistence that could not be refused.
"This ......"
As soon as I heard Hongqing say this, Ah Jintai didn't know what to do, there was nothing else, although Ah Jintai was quite reluctant to come to meet him, but after all, people were already here, no matter what, he had to do his best to be a landlord, and he still wanted to eat and drink at public expense, but when he saw Hongqing said so resolutely, he was a little speechless.
"My lord, my lords, Ben Beizi is carrying the will of the emperor's law, there is an urgent matter, and it cannot be postponed, and there is no way to greet him, and he also invites tens of millions of Haihan Ze, and they will all return to their original belongings, and Ben Beizi has thanked him first."
Although Hongqing is bold, he is careful and cautious when he can do things, and he doesn't want to have the slightest handle in the hands of others, and he has money in his own pocket, and there is really no need to mix a meal with public money to eat and drink, and he doesn't want to miss the right thing because of such a local official, so he made a group gesture to the subordinate officials in Shandong, and thanked him politely and resolutely.
"It's okay, the little prince's official business is important, so don't bother the officials, say goodbye, say goodbye."
Hongqing had already said this, Ah Jintai was not reluctant, and after a few polite words, he led a group of Shandong officials to disperse on their own.
