The problem is so big that I can only say that I try to do it, but I am really not sure.

Zhang Jing patiently persuaded him: "The soldiers all listen to Mrs. Wa, and the local soldiers all listen to Peng Mingfu, I will say hello to the two, as long as you pacify these two, everything is fine." ”

Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "If I have enough silver, it won't be a difficult task...... Money can make the mill push ghosts, and for the sake of the silver, they may still be obedient. Saying that, he spread his hands and said: "But I have no power and no money, why should I appease others?" ”

Zhang Jinggan smiled: "You can help urge it." ”

"I'll just ask." Shen Mo sneered: "Have you cashed in the bounty of three battles and three victories?" ”

Zhang Jing shook his head and said: "No, this money was promised by the Ministry of War and allocated by the Ministry of Households, so I have to wait until Zhou Xun takes office and let him sell this favor." ”

"What if the adults don't give it to you?" Shen sighed silently: "Or deduct a part, this is very possible." ”

"Do your best." Zhang Jing sighed and said, "If there is really no way, let them go back as soon as possible to avoid the situation from worsening." ”

Shen Mo nodded and said softly, "I know." ”

The next day, the decree arrived.

Among the guards of honor who escorted the eunuchs into the city, there were a group of mysterious people outside the city that day, but today they all hung pure black cloaks, wore red flying fish suits, and then looked at the sharkskin gold sheath embroidered spring knife on their waists.

Ignoring the civil and military officials who greeted him in front of the city gate, Jinyiwei went straight to the governor's yamen with the eunuch who passed the edict, and announced the holy decree in front of the incense case...... Of course, Governor Zhou was still waiting for the decree in Suzhou, and he had to wait for the eunuch to obtain a seal from Zhang Jing before he could take office.

From this moment on, the owner of this governor's yamen was replaced by Hu Zongxian, who no longer had anything to do with Li Tianchong...... According to the usual practice, Li Tianzhong should immediately hand over the seal letter and leave the yamen, so that the new official could accept the visit of his subordinate Wenwu.

Who knew that there was a problem - taking Li Tianpet and holding the seal letter, no one would give it. Since he took office, he has been conscientious and painstaking, and has put all his strength into the task of building a meritorious career.

Who knew that all the good things were like a dream, but when he woke up, it was a reality that he couldn't accept - never to use it, which was more uncomfortable for an official who was only thirty-eight years old and was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period than killing him.

A few days ago, he had been comforting himself: 'Everything is a rumor, and when the decree comes, it will be broken.' Now the decree has finally arrived, and everything is true...... He couldn't hear anything but the sound of his heartbreak, and he couldn't see anything but the darkness of his eyes. So much so that the people on the side called him many times, but there was no response.

Everyone looked at each other, surrounding him and not knowing what to do, and Zhou Nanbi, the envoy of Zhejiang, saw that the new Governor Hu was already uncertain. He had the heart to please his future boss, so he gritted his teeth and reached out to press the big seal in Li Tianpet's arms, and he wanted to use force to take it.

Li Tian was unwilling, and he seized the seal letter at once. Before Zhou Nanbi could ask for credit from his new master, he heard Li Tianzhong scream: "Give it back to me!" Before he could finish speaking, he pounced on him like a mad bird.

Zhou Nanbi was frightened, and hurriedly hugged the seal and turned around and ran, and the two chased and fled, staging a ridiculous farce in the compound of the governor's yamen...... But everyone couldn't laugh, and Hu Zongxian's face was even more pale.

Still the leader of the brocade guard couldn't stand it, and when he saw Li Tianpet running to his side, he stretched out his hand and pushed him down at the door of the official office.

Zhou Nanbi thanked him breathlessly, but who knew that the leader of the brocade guard said to him with contempt: "The dog still knows how to love the old." "By implication, you're not as good as a dog.

Zhou Nanbi smiled with embarrassment: "The dog is very good, very good." He ran to Hu Zongxian's side as if he fled, knelt down and said, "My lord, the lower official has taken your seal letter." ”

Hu Zongxian looked at him coldly, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, but just asked in a deep voice: "Lord Zhou, you are in charge of the provincial punishment, you should know the Da Ming Law well." ”

Seeing that the adult's face was not good, Zhou Nanbi said with a weak heart: "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan is quite familiar. ”

"Then may I ask Lord Zhou, what is the governor's seal?" Hu Zongxian asked lightly.

Zhou Nanbi swallowed and foamed: "It is a symbol of the power of the Admiral Military and the governor of a province." ”

"If anyone openly robs, what is the crime?" Hu Zongxian's tone did not change.

"You can kill ...... on the spot" Zhou Nanbi finally understood what Hu Zongxian meant, and hurriedly kowtowed: "My lord Mingjian, Li Tianzhong is no longer the governor, but he still occupies the seal of the adult, and the humble position is taken for you, which is not illegal." ”

"The letter has not yet been delivered, so you have to treat him as a governor." Hu Zongxian snorted coldly, finally reached out and took the official seal, and issued the first edict as the governor of Zhejiang: "Lord Li did not punish you, but this official will not forgive...... Someone's coming! ”

The officials were all frightened enough by his dismount, and hurriedly ran out and shouted: "Yes! ”

"Take off Zhou Nanbi's official uniform and detain him in the backyard for the time being," I only heard Hu Zongxian say undoubtedly: "When this official is present to Dali Temple, he will be sent to Yanjing." ”

Zhou Nanbi's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, and he was kicked and stunned by Hu Zongxian's fierce horse, and hurriedly begged for mercy. Hu Zongxian ignored him, and said to the officials who were silent all over the courtyard: "This official doesn't need flatterers, as long as people who are honest and do things, have you heard it?!" ”

After the civil and military forces responded, Hu Zongxian looked at the door, wanting to let Li Tianpet come in and comfort him...... Who knew that his figure had disappeared, not only him, but even Zhang Jing quietly disappeared.

As soon as he saw the two Zhejiang bigwigs disappear like this, Hu Zongxian was at a loss for a while, and let people entertain him on a good business, so he went to the backyard.

Zhao Wenhua had been waiting behind for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Ruzhen, why do you thank me?" ”

Hu Zongxian sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "This is for me to submit a certificate of nomination!" Although he has a good personal relationship with Zhao Wenhua, he has not seen Yan Song's father and son after all, and he can only be regarded as a peripheral member of the Yan Party. Now that the veteran Yan Ge has handed over such an important position to him, he naturally wants him to make a clear statement, which is also the proper meaning of the question, not to mention that it is not in the public, which is very face-saving.

He replied without thinking: "Brother Merlin is very kind, thank you too much, you can only follow it." ”

This is a sign of allegiance, Zhao Wenhua was quite satisfied, he smiled and said: "Don't dare to follow!" As long as you work hard, for another year and a half, you will be the only one to be the governor. ”

Hu Zongxian's heart was clear, and he hurriedly said humbly: "I'll give Brother Meicun a hand." ”

"Don't worry about my business, it is said that Your Majesty will promote me to the secretary of the Ministry of Works, which is the fattest errand in the whole world, better than the governor of the southeast who is frightened all day." Zhao Wenhua smiled and said: "Brother, which sentence, do a good job, brother, my future is on you, I will fully support you!" ”

"Then thank you, Brother Meicun." Hu Zongxian gave up his hand again, and the two laughed and went to the back hall to drink and celebrate.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian inside are celebrating happily, but Li Tianpet on the street outside is depressed, walking aimlessly, mixing garlic under his feet from time to time, and falling hard. Zhang Jing, who had changed into civilian clothes, was like an old father and hurriedly helped him up.

Whenever he was helped up by Zhang Jing, Li Tianpet would immediately push him away and continue to walk forward. Zhang Jing followed silently, while he couldn't think that something was wrong.

Li Tianpet stumbled to the West Lake like this, his face and hands were black and green, and his skin was torn, and he was wearing a crimson official uniform representing dignity and majesty, which had become dirty, and he no longer had the appearance of a dignified provincial official.

Looking at the depressed reflection in the clear lake water, Li Tianpet couldn't accept it, and was about to jump down when he raised his legs, but was hugged by Zhang Jing and said loudly: "Jiquan, if you die, what will happen to your seventy-year-old lady?" She could save your son! ”

Li Tianpet froze suddenly, no longer struggling, just leaned on Zhang Jing's body, and muttered: "It's over, this life is over......"

"Silly boy, it's a good thing not to be an official." Zhang Jing comforted him softly, as if comforting himself: "Hehe, stay away from the rights and wrongs of officialdom, no longer have to worry about it every day, and be afraid." No longer trying to keep your position, but to calculate others or prevent being calculated by others. ”

He stared intently at the deep lake, and his voice was full of relief: "From now on, no one will regard us as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and a stumbling block." Although there is no prestige of Bainuo on the stage and under the steps, as well as the luxury of delicacies from the mountains and seas, brocade clothes and jade food, we can finally sleep on the three poles, pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, and see Nanshan leisurely, you can do your filial piety in front of your parents' bed, I can watch my children and grandchildren celebrate under my knees, which is something that can't be bought by a thousand gold. ”

Li Tianpet finally began to sob, and finally cried: "I'm not reconciled...... Unwilling to ......"

Zhang Jing gently patted his back, as if comforting a crying child, and said softly: "Cry, cry, after crying, we will be completely liberated, and in the future, we will only laugh, let them be sad, let them cry." ”
