Chapter 32 The Imperial Court Rises Again

Su Yi sneaked out, didn't dare to stay outside for a long time, she hurriedly ate a bowl of rice, and slipped back with the manuscript, but Wu Jin was not in a hurry, he specially asked for a pot of wine, to slowly enjoy his first meal in this dynasty, although he had attended a banquet at Su Hanzhen's house, but at that time, everyone's minds were not on eating, what they ate, what they drank, he had no impression at all.

Today is different, no one bother, there is time, he needs to pour a slow drink, he thinks so, but he can't get his way, only hears a familiar laugh from upstairs.

"Old horse, this wine brother drank happily! I'm in a good mood, and the wine is good, I'll treat you to this meal, let's get drunk and never get drunk. ”

This is Luo Xiucai's voice, isn't he in a pawnshop? Could it be that the fifth uncle also has lunch here?

Wu Jin walked up to the third floor with a wine glass, and saw Luo Xiucai at the top of the stairs, only to see him sitting with a middle-aged man drinking, Wu Jin looked around again, there was no fifth uncle next to them, he shook his head, and was about to go down, Luo Xiucai had sharp eyes and saw him at a glance.

"Isn't that Childe? Please come up. ”

Wu Jin was helpless, so he had to pick up the wine glass and walk up, and asked him with a smile: "Luo Xiucai, why are you here?" ”

"Huh! I met a friend, so we came to drink together, and I'll introduce you to it. ”

Luo Xiucai introduced Wujin first, "This is my new owner, Huangfu's family, the nephew of the old noble, we all call him Wujin Gongzi." ”

He introduced the middle-aged man to Wujin again, "This is my friend with a knife in both ribs, called Ma Buyun, the post man of Pingjiang Station, I will go to Pingjiang County to eat and live in the future, although I am looking for him." ”

Pingjiang County is today's Suzhou, Pingjiang Post Station, equivalent to the general manager of the political axe guest house, although the position is not big, but he is the kind of person who has a very social relationship, Wu Jin in the later generations when he was a businessman, this kind of person he must befriend, although he wants to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but some habits in the bones are difficult to change for a while.

He raised his glass and smiled to salute him, "It turned out to be Brother Ma, and the younger brother toasted first." ”

He drank all the wine in the cup, this Ma Buyun was very bold, he saw that although Wujin was young, he knew how to understand the world very well, and liked it in his heart, he hurriedly returned a glass of wine, then patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "It seems that the little brother is also a refreshing person, since Luo Xiucai said, then he will also be my friend in the future, rely on his parents at home, rely on friends when he goes out, and then Pingjiang County, just come to my old horse, not to mention anything else, eat and live in my bag." ”

"Definitely! Certain! ”

Although Wu Jin knew him with a deliberate friendship, he felt that he was good and very bold, so he couldn't help but feel good, so he smiled and said: "I'll go and bring the wine and food, let's drink at the same table, and I'm here for a treat today." ”

"Okay! I just like friends like that. ”

Wu Jin turned around and instructed the man: "Bring my wine and food." ”

The two guys hurriedly brought up Wu Jin's wine and food, and the three of them sat together, Wu Jin first asked Luo Xiucai with a smile: "What about my fifth uncle?" Still in the pawnshop? ”

Although Wujin is young, easy-going and lazy, and does not put on a show, he has a leader's temperament between his gestures, although Luo Xiucai has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and has read countless people, he is a little afraid of him, especially Wujin is his big boss, this fear is even more obvious, he quickly explained: "Lao Gui is still counting goods and settling accounts, I asked him to come along, but he refused." ”

"Hey! My fifth uncle is a serious person, let's not talk about him. ”

He filled Ma Buyun with a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Is Brother Ma here for a business trip to Weiyang?" ”

Ma Buyun took a sip of wine and shook his head, "Originally, I didn't go out much, but the guy under my command who was responsible for delivering the Di Bao was on sick leave, so I had to come and take a trip to send a few Di Bao to the state government and the Weiyang County government, and by the way, I came to see a group of old brothers." ”

Luo Xiucai was afraid that Wu Jin would look down on Ma Buyun, so he hurriedly introduced first, "Childe, although my brother is the head of the post station, he is a first-class official, and his status is not low!" ”

Ma Buyun smiled proudly, "Look at what you said, it's just a small first-class official, not enough to mention, not enough to mention!" ”

Luo Xiucai saw that there were still some doubts in Wujin's eyes, and knew that he didn't quite understand the trick here, so he explained to him with a smile, "In fact, there are three kinds of people in our county government and county government, officials, officials, and servants, needless to say, there are only four officials in a county, county order, county officer, county lieutenant, and master book, and the lower-level servants are small minions who run errands, some of them are sons who inherit their father's position and serve for generations, and some of them are selected from the annual service and have no status; And the officials are different, they are a kind of semi-official, also called adjutant officials, mainly responsible for six Cao and patrol and catch fast, there are grain and rice, generally divided into four levels and twelve levels, one level every two years, six years to a level, like each Cao chief, head catcher, etc., it belongs to the first-class officials. ”

Wu Jin only then understood the name of this, applying the bureaucratic system of later generations, it is estimated that this official is the county magistrate, deputy county magistrate and the like, this official is the civil servant of various departments and bureaus, and as for the service, it belongs to the informal establishment of clerks, auxiliary police, joint defense team members, etc., roughly so.

This Ma Yicheng belongs to the general manager of the county guest house, and at the same time enjoys department-level treatment, no wonder he is a little proud.

He hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Ma's status is not low, I am disrespectful, and this glass of wine is considered an apology." ”

Ma Buyun saw that although Wujin was young, he was very good at talking, so he couldn't help but praise secretly, stood up and raised his glass and smiled: "There are brothers at the wine table, let's have fellowship with each other and drink equally, come!" I'll give you a drink. ”

The two drank a glass of wine, and then Wu Jin remembered what he had just said about Di Bao, he had heard of it in later generations, it was the ancestor of the newspaper, it was said to be an official office, he had never seen it, so he asked him curiously: "What does Di Bao look like, can Brother Ma show me, I have never seen it." ”

"Alas! It's all boring topics in the imperial court, what the emperor says, what ceremonies are held, etc., but there is interesting news in this issue. ”

Ma Buyun took out a few points of the Di newspaper from his bag and handed it to Wu Jin, the layout of the Di newspaper was not large, and it was the size of A4 paper in later generations, with five or six pages, all bound together.

Ma Buyun turned to the third page, pointed to a message on it and smiled: "Brother, look at this news." ”

Wujin read it once, and the news was very short, and there were only two sentences: 'In the imperial history, Cheng Chen Zhi impeached Zongzheng Siqing, and Huangfu Yibiao, the king of Dunhuang County, sat on a stolen 8,000 taels of silver, and Huangfu Yibiao was deposed from Zongzheng Siqing. ’

Wu Jin's heart lit up, he knew that this must be the official receipt that played a role, half a month ago he gave the receipt to Su Hanzhen, he didn't expect it to play a role so quickly, he pretended to be confused, and asked: "Who is this Huangfu Yibiao?" ”

Next to him, Luo Xiucai said: "This Huangfu Yi table is the backstage of our Donghai County Don't drive Huangfu County." ”

"Oh! It turned out to be the backstage of Huangfu County. ”

Wu Jin's face was abrupt, he looked at the news carefully, and frowned, "This news is very ordinary, I can't see anything!" ”

Ma Buyun smiled: "Brother has nothing to do, but you have to care about the affairs of the court!" Let me tell you! This Huangfu Yibiao is the current emperor's uncle, belonging to the emperor's Conglong faction, he was deposed this time, in the name of sitting on stolen goods, but in fact annoying the prince. ”

Wu Jin suddenly remembered another thing at this time, the prince is Su Hanzhen's backstage, this imperial uncle is the backstage of Huangfuqu, the backstage is feuding, will the front desk be safe? Will there be any new struggle between Su Hanzhen and Huangfu Qu?

"Brother Wujin, there is actually a famous hall here!"

Ma Buyun smiled again, he glanced at both sides, and lowered his voice: "Actually, I also read another newspaper from the previous two days, and I didn't bring it today, it said that Zongzheng Temple announced that the King of Chu officially opened the mansion, I didn't see the famous hall, but our Feng County Cheng of Pingjiang County told me that the general prince can only open the mansion at the age of fourteen, but this King of Chu is only twelve years old, obviously not in line with the rules, this is Zongzheng Temple is currying favor with Queen Shen, and Zongzheng Temple Qing is this emperor's uncle Huang Fu Yibiao, the more he rules for the King of Chu to open the mansion, which of course annoys the prince, But the raw rice was cooked rice, and the prince was helpless, so he instructed Yu Shitai to impeach Huangfu Yibiao under the pretext of sitting on the stolen goods, and the emperor also knew that the King of Chu had broken the rules when he opened the mansion, so he pushed the boat down the river and dismissed Huangfu Yibiao to give the prince a face. ”

Wu Jin nodded, and praised with a thumbs up: "Brother Ma is really powerful, and he can even see this kind of court secret." ”

Ma Buyun hurriedly waved his hand, "I know a fart!" It's all what we Feng Xiancheng told me. ”

Luo Xiucai was also unwilling to be lonely and interjected: "I heard that this Feng Xiancheng was originally a waiter of the Imperial Court's Ministry of Rites, but he offended Uncle Shen Guo, and he was demoted to Pingjiang County as a county magistrate the year before last. ”

"I have gained a lot of knowledge with Brother Ma today."

Ma Buyun hurriedly told Wu Jin: "Brother, this is a big crime to talk about the emperor publicly, let's talk about it in private, don't spread it." ”

"I know what to do, come! Let's drink, I'll toast you two. ”

"Drink! Drink! ”

.........

Huangfu Yibiao was deposed five days ago, but early this morning, Donghai County Beiqi Huangfu Qu received an urgent letter from the capital.

Flying pigeon transmission began to rise from the Tang Dynasty, with the pigeon training means more and more advanced, this convenient way of communication gradually spread in the Daning Dynasty, not only the government with carrier pigeons, private individuals also use a large number of this way to transmit information, between the general shop and the sub-shops, between the wealthy and powerful, etc., the use of carrier pigeons has been very common.

The pigeon letter received by Huangfu Qu was sent by his backstage Huangfu Yibiao, Huangfu Yibiao was killed by the prince and lost his official, and he hated it to the core, and he didn't dare to directly target the prince, so he thought of another person who harmed him, Donghai County Assassin Shi Su Hanzhen.

If this Su Hanzhen can be killed, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the prince's development of power in Donghai County.

Huangfu Yibiao's instructions to Huangfuqu were very clear, and Huangfuqu was ordered to seize Su Hanzhen's handle as soon as possible and impeach and remove him.

Huangfu Qu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, it was not so easy to catch Su Hanzhen's handle, Su Hanzhen had only been in Donghai County for a month, and he was an honest official, so he had no handle to catch at all, unless he broke a fortune, breaking wealth is the most distressing thing for Huangfu Qu, and it made him more uncomfortable than his wife and concubine giving him a green hat, but he didn't dare not carry out Huangfu Yibiao's order.

He remembered that the last time Huangfu Yibiao asked him to raise 300,000 taels of silver, he has not moved so far, one is 300,000 taels of silver, and the other is to impeach Su Hanzhen, both things are very tricky, but he can't do nothing!

Huangfuqu weighed it for a long time, so let's find a way to impeach Su Hanzhen first, and let the matter of 300,000 taels of silver go!

Impeaching Su Hanzhen, he has an entry point, and he has been observing for a long time.

Huangfuqu pondered for a moment, beckoned a confidant family member to come forward, "You go to the county government and call Master Cao for me, go now, and ask him to come over immediately." ”
