On the tenth day of October, the imperial court sent a patrol to inspect the work of Nanzhili according to the imperial history.

Speaking of which, the patrol of the imperial history is lowly and powerful, and those who can serve as the imperial historian will not be high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but they must be court officials who are born as jinshi and are recognized by everyone as having a good personal character.

Patrol according to the imperial history is divided into two kinds, one is with the sword of Shang Fang, this kind of patrol according to the imperial history, mostly to go down to disaster relief, or to investigate a major case, can behead the civil and military officials below the fourth grade, the power is very large, the other kind of patrol according to the imperial history, is to inspect on behalf of the emperor, mainly to understand the following situation, find that there is a problem, can impeach the following officials.

This time, the patrol who came to Nanzhili to press the imperial history was actually Wu Weiye.

Su Tiancheng made a fuss for a long time, but he didn't understand the meaning, Wu Weiye stayed in the Hanlin Courtyard for a long time, what did he do in Nanzhili, besides, Wu Weiye has been going down to patrol for a while, and when he returns to the capital, he should also be familiar with his business, and it is not a matter to always run down.

He knew the news of the road, Zhou Yanru recommended Chen Yutai to Nanzhili to patrol the press, Wen Tiren recommended Xu Eryi to Nanzhili to patrol the press, but Zhu Youzhen did not approve it, and sent Wu Weiye to patrol the press, it seems that the emperor's dissatisfaction has been expressed, and the opinions of the first and second assistants of the cabinet have not been adopted.

Wu Weiye arrived in Nanzhili, and the first stop turned out to be Jiangning County.

It turned out that Wu Weiye still had to come to pass on the decree, that is, the court's disposition of Zhou Shunqing, according to reason, such a thing, the criminal department or Dali Temple directly issued an edict. It's okay, but this time it's the emperor's holy decree, which shows that Zhou Shunqing's matter has caused a lot of fluctuations in the imperial court.

Zhou Shunqing's case was specifically handled by Jiangning County. The final treatment was also based on Jiangning County, so Wu Weiye first came to Jiangning County.

Kneeling on the ground, when he heard the holy decree, the execution of Zhou Shunqing turned out to be a beheading execution, Su Tiancheng was stunned, he didn't expect it. It will be such an ending, it is unlikely, Zhou Shunqing is Zhou Yanru's own nephew, no matter what, Zhou Yanru is the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Shunqing is not accused of rebellion after all, he can be exiled, and it is not a big problem to save his life. Even if it can't be kept for the time being, it will be postponed until next autumn. There's room for movement.

Since Wu Weiye is here to announce the decree, it is a matter of course to behead the officials.

After the announcement was completed, when he came to the third hall, Wu Weiye spoke with a smile on his face.

"Master Su, I'm here to learn. At the beginning, I thought that you were sent to the county, and I thought it was an injustice of the imperial court, who would have thought that you were in Jiangning County. I have done so many things, handed over more than 20 million taels of silver to the imperial court, and I was able to get it in time, all of which are your credits, such a big thing, I can't even think of it. ”

"Master Wu said with a smile, you are in the Hanlin Academy, in the past few months, you have been patrolling everywhere, I don't know how much information you have mastered, look at me, in Jiangning County, worrying about so many things, what you see in your eyes are all trivial things."

"You are sarcastic about me, or we will change it, but I also have self-knowledge, I can't do these big things, by the way, you deal with Zhou Shunqing, this is a great action, in the court, it has caused a sensation. By the way, what do you think about renting the official land of the Nanjing military camp, I still don't understand it. ”

In Wu Weiye's view, the official is to persuade farmers to teach and ask farmers to farm well, and as for the matter of leasing official land, it is said that there is no need to worry about it.

"Hehe, I'm also thinking, let the farmers be able to grow more fields, the county government will have more income, think about it, the officials of the county government, there are so few people, it is difficult to support the family, can you still do things with peace of mind, even if I am strict, people can't go hungry to do errands, so you are in the capital, food and clothing are worry-free, you can't think of these things, I am the magistrate of Jiangning County, if I don't think about these things, I can't serve the emperor and the court well."

Wu Weiye looked at Su Tiancheng and didn't believe such an explanation, the official's fortune is the same everywhere, but the monthly silver is different, this is an open secret, not necessarily the situation in Jiangning County, it is very different, besides, the conditions in Jiangning County are originally good.

"Master Su, I feel that you treat me as an outsider, these are all excuses."

"This is really not an excuse, think about it, Nanzhili is generally relatively wealthy, especially Jiangning County and Shangyuan County, are in the city of Nanjing, how prosperous this Nanjing city is, rich businessmen, abound, people are generous, wear gold and silver, look at the officials of the county government, still worried about life, plus my requirements for officials, is very strict, never allow to accept gifts at will, let alone favoritism, in this case, can not solve their money, can not increase income, the following officials, Can you stay clean for a long time? ”

"Oh, you say that, it does make sense, in the past few months, I mainly went to Shandong, Henan and other places to patrol, the local conditions, generally not very good, this Nanzhili, is indeed different, is my hometown, Taicang and Kunshan in Suzhou Prefecture, that is completely different, if there is no silver, it is really very difficult, I have learned, I have learned."

"Who doesn't know that Suzhou is rich in the world, your brother's family conditions are good, and there is no need to worry about silver at all."

Wu Weiye smiled and did not deny that the conditions in his family were indeed good, the local gentry in Taicang.

"Master Su, this time I came to patrol Nanzhili, in fact, it is to understand the situation, the focus is on the situation in Jiangning County, the emperor is very concerned about the situation in Jiangning County, even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have also noticed here."

Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly, this is not a good thing, the gun shot the first bird.

"Lord Wu, Jiangning County is not a big deal, if you want to say that Shangyuan County is even better, much richer than Jiangning County, if you have time, learn more about the situation in Shangyuan County."

"I won't overstep my authority without an order."

Wu Weiye's face became a little serious.

"Master Su, you and I are classmates, like-minded, some words, I said it directly, I will never hide it, you are in Henan disaster relief, in the imperial court, there is also a controversy, now the facts are in front of you, some people have nothing to say, Shaanxi, Shanxi, including Shandong and other places, the imperial court has gone to disaster relief, what is the result, the rogue is wanton, the emperor is very worried, but the situation in Henan is very good, I also heard about one thing, it is said that the bandit leader Gao Yingxiang sent people to Mengjin to contact, thinking that Mengjin suffered a famine at the mouth of the Yellow River, There must be countless displaced people, recruiting people, isn't it easy, I can't imagine that the people sent to it were caught by the local peasants and sent to the government, and the peasants all said that the emperor was sympathetic to them and vigorously provided disaster relief. ”

"Oh, there is such a thing, I heard that Lord Yan has just arrived in Mengjin County, and he can stabilize the people's hearts so quickly."

"Yes, it's a very good job, although Lord Yan has just taken office, he is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and he also made a concession to the court, and implores Mengjin County to be exempted from taxes for one year, and the emperor has already granted it."

Yan Zizhang is the supervising imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Beijing official of the seventh grade, according to the local level, it needs to be promoted and used, at least it is also the general judgment of the sixth grade of the government office, which is reasonable, I can't imagine that he took the initiative to ask to go to Mengjin County and serve as the magistrate of the seventh grade. As for the former magistrate, he had already been escorted to the capital and beheaded for public display, and his family members could not escape the tragic fate.

"Lord Su, this is what I admire about you, Lord Yan went to Henan District with you for disaster relief, after returning to the capital, there was a great change, and he took the initiative to ask for an assignment, and he went to Mengjin County, Henan, I don't know what ability you have, which affected Lord Yan."

"Where is my credit, Lord Yan sympathizes with the victims and wants to do things for the victims, so he took the initiative to ask for a high wind and bright festival in Mengjin County."

Wu Weiye has never mentioned Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, which was expected by Su Tiancheng.

Wu Weiye himself was impeached, because he took the Qinglou woman to the capital to participate in the examination and the palace examination, and was impeached by Wen Tiren, saying that it was misconduct, in this case, he naturally would not discuss right and wrong, otherwise, it would be regarded as deliberate revenge, which was obviously the act of a villain.

After the two chatted for a while, Su Tiancheng found Liu Joong-ki.

Zhou Shunqing's decision should be implemented by Liu Zhongji.

Liu Zhongji saw Wu Weiye and admired it very much, you must know that Wu Weiye is also the flower of the palace test, and among the scholars, he is very famous.

Liu Zhongji's sophistication also attracted Wu Weiye's attention, and he learned that Liu Zhongji was just a student of Pingyang Mansion, talking decently, behaving freely, and already having an unusual style in his gestures, Wu Weiye admired Su Tiancheng even more.

If you have the ability, that's just one aspect, the greater ability is to be able to influence the people around you and play the role of everyone, which is the greatest ability.

This time, Wu Weiye did not discuss the issue of poetry with Su Tiancheng, and became the editor of the Hanlin Academy, after patrolling several places, what he thought of in his mind was also the matter of the national economy and people's livelihood, and he had no heart to study any poetry.

Wu Weiye is okay to drink, but he is not Su Tiancheng's opponent.

In the Four Seas Restaurant, he was drunk and still muttering in his mouth, the imperial examination is not as good as Su Tiancheng, and this drinking is not as good as Su Tiancheng, except for being older, he is completely convinced, and he will study hard with Su Tiancheng in the future.
