Lu'an House, Shanxi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people in the city have been talking about the most recently, and the new prefect, Lord Xie, has arrested the people who are resisting taxes.

What made them even more fond was that those people who resisted taxes were released less than a day after they were detained in the government office.

This kind of thing is extremely rare not only in Lu'an Mansion, but also in the Ming Dynasty.

However, some knowledgeable seniors gave explanations. This is the new prefect to show mercy to those who resist taxes. Let them remember the kindness of the house in their hearts.

The Lu'an earthquake and epidemic struck one after another, and the people had a hard time, and Fuzun was not comfortable. But this is not a reason for the people to resist taxes.

The common people can express their pleas to the government and express their requests for exemption from the taxes of the disaster year, but they should not use violence.

Wrong is wrong, since Fuzun released those anti-tax mobs, it proves that he is willing to give these people a chance to mend their ways.

With such strength, he is worthy of being able to win the champion.

Since then, the people of Lu'an have admired this parent official even more.

But this is not the end, a few days later, the gentry in the city Huo Yuanwai was ordered by the Xie Governor to be locked in the palace to hear the trial.

Who is that outside Huo Yuan? In the entire Shanxi territory, there are several wealthy businessmen.

is such a big man, Governor Xie said that he would take it.

Huo Yuanwai's trial was a major event, and many people rushed to the outside of the government to hear the trial.

Governor Xie did not stop the people from watching, and decided to hear it publicly.

Huo Yuanwai was charged with hoarding goods, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and ramming and beating officials.

Each of these crimes is not small, and one alone can be punished severely.

At first, Huo Yuanwai wanted to quibble, but the prefect took out ironclad evidence and Huo Yuanwai was completely wilted like a frosted eggplant.

Governor Xie tried Huo Yuanwai in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the Huo family was not only raided, but all the men in his clan were sentenced to forced labor, specifically to repair the damaged houses in the city.

After Huo Yuanwai heard the verdict of the raider, a mouthful of blood spurted out and he fainted.

That doesn't change anything, though. The Governor of Xie took advantage of this incident to establish his authority, and the rest of the merchants in the city took out large sums of money to repair the house. The restoration of houses after the earthquake has been revealed.

On April 15, it rained heavily in Lu'an.

The rain was pouring down, forcing the people not to dare to go out, so they had to look at the rain in the house and sigh. Even Xie Shen could only stay in the mansion and exchange a few words with Qianqian.

Finally, the rain stopped, but Lu Chongtian came to report that the lieutenant had arrived at the mansion.

Xie Shen was startled and hurriedly asked where the envoy was. Knowing that it was in the front hall of the mansion, Xie Shen hurriedly said, "I'll go here." ”

Ignoring the need to change into official robes, Xie Shen walked quickly to the front hall.

Seeing that it was Gu Dayong who came to announce the decree, Xie Shen was slightly stunned at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father-in-law Gu, don't come unharmed."

Xie Shen greeted with a smile, and the corners of Gu Dayong's mouth rose slightly: "Our family is here to announce the decree this time, Lord Xie, please accept the decree." ”

Xie Shen didn't dare to hold it up, so he pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, and bowed his head.

"Thank you carefully."

Gu Da cleared his throat and announced in the voice unique to the inner prison: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." Reward virtuous labor, the work of the imperial court; Show pro-virtue and people's affection. Gu Wei's minister of discipline has the celebration of strict mercy and praise, which is really often good. Xie Shen is the prefect of Lu'an, and his brother is self-taught, not scrupulous with others, trained in the family, and became a virtuous brother. Futai performance, famous class, life rank push, light and longevity. At the beginning of the chapter of the dependents, there is a sign of the world's business. Zite named his brother as Wen Lin Lang to increase the light of the forest and enjoy the joy of mulberry elm. His sister-in-law, Chen, is hardworking, righteous and educational; The court favors the number, and the etiquette is more important than the praise. The heart of the retribution, the birth of the life of the seal, but also the virtue, the beginning of the name of the name. His wife, Xu Shi Huilang, is knowledgeable and courteous. Zuo Liangren's Confucianism, the line of heavy township evaluation; became the name of the husband and became a government official. The two of them are specially named as respectful people, and they are full of crowns and curtains, and they will always show the style of the family. ”

After the will was read, Gu Dayong said in a deep voice: "Lord Xie, take the order." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Shen thanked him for his gratitude and accepted the decree.

The silk silk used for this decree is woven of the finest raw silk, and there is a lifting dragon coiled around it, which is extremely majestic.

This holy decree seems to be a reward for Xie Shen's eldest brother and sister-in-law, but it is actually a reward for Xie Shen's meritorious service in managing the epidemic.

As the so-called brother is more expensive than his brother, if there is no Xie Shen, a literary and opera star, how can the Xie family have the honor and favor it has today.

As for why the Son of Heaven did not reward Xie Shen, the reason is also very simple.

It is already an unprecedented thing to be a prefect at the age of seventeen, if it is sealed again, will it be necessary to be crowned a governor?

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The reason why the Son of Heaven no longer rewarded Xie Shen was to protect him.

Wen Linlang is a loose official, and Gongren is the wife and mother of the fourth official.

The official position granted by the Son of Heaven to Xie Shen's eldest brother Wen Linlang was equivalent to giving Xie Fang a position where he only took money and did not work. Xie Shen's wife Xu Qianqian and sister-in-law Xie Chen also received the reward of the four meritorious people.

This is already a great kindness.

Even Gu Dayong, who announced the decree, was a little jealous and said: "I have never seen the emperor give such a reward to a fourth-grade official, Lord Xie is really in the emperor's heart." ”

Xie Shen smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all Your Majesty's grace." ”

Gu Dayong waved his hand and said, "After the holy decree has been announced, can we ask for a glass of wine here from Master Xie?" ”

Xie Shen smiled: "Grandpa Gu has enough to drink." ”

Xie Shen first enshrined the holy decree on the wooden frame of the incense case in the study, and then led Gu Dayong to the side hall and said, "I didn't expect it to be Father-in-law Gu who came to announce the decree." ”

For this future eunuch of the West Factory, Xie Shen has to win over him. This is much more promising than Liu Jin, and if he can form an alliance, it will be of great benefit to the development of his career.

Unlike when he first entered the officialdom, Xie Shen, who has seen a lot of dark sides, is no longer as clear as the eunuchs like Chia'er.

Because he knew that if he wanted to do great things in the Ming Dynasty, there was one kind of person who could not be offended, and that was the eunuch.

The pretentious high is useless except to get a false name. Those sour literati may be interested in this, but this is not attractive to a time-traveler like Xie Shen.

Gu Dayong took a sip of rice wine and said with a smile: "To tell the truth, our family was also very surprised by His Majesty's sudden decree this time. ”

Xie Shen nodded, and arched his hand to the north again: "Your Majesty's grace, the minister will serve his life." ”

The emperor's decree to reward Xie Shen was expected, but at the same time, it was somewhat unexpected for Xie Shen to canonize Xu Qianqian and her sister-in-law as four respectful people.

However, this at least proves that the Son of Heaven is very satisfied with Xie Shen's administration in Lu'an, so it seems that this wave of grassroots is not at a loss.
