Chapter 140: Officials Dispatched
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. ⊥ top novel,
On this day, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and white, the sun is high, and the fragrance of flowers wafts in the air.
Yang Xiaoyu sent someone to the car dealer to rent five big carriages and sent all the children brought back by Chen Yingren to the car!
He also gave Wang Chong five thousand taels of silver, which he used to buy clothes and household goods for the children.
The two daughters of Xiao Xiang'er and Xiao Hong'er were also officially given to Wang Chong as concubines by Yang Xiaoyu.
A group of five carriages and twenty guards slowly left the mansion and left the city.
After arranging this matter, Yang Xiaoyu began to deal with the Ling family!
However, a good thing fell on his head unswayingly.
In the second year of the Apocalypse, mid-May!
The imperial court was convinced of Wang Jing's rebellion, and the capital Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi confiscated Wang Jing's mansion in Beijing, and the maidservants in the mansion were sent to the Jiaofang Division.
The imperial court sent Zhao Yongnian, the left deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate, to Zhejiang as governor.
The new governor, Zhao Yongnian, carried the holy decree down from Beijing and went along the canal to the Hangzhou wharf.
Officials above the fifth grade in Zhejiang, rich gentry and celebrities, all took carriages to the wharf to greet them. /
The scene was majestic and magnificent, and in order to curry favor with the new governor, a group of officials paid for juggling from the people.
The dragon and lion dances are vivid, and there are two cowhide drums on the shore.
The eardrums of the dock officials were aching at the sound of the drums, but they were not unhappy, on the contrary, they had extremely kind smiles on their faces, and their eyes looked at the endless river.
The turquoise river was calm, and a large ship slowly approached from the water in the distance.
When the officials on the riverside saw the big boat, they took a few steps forward until they reached the edge of the pier before stopping.
A middle-aged man dressed in a four-rank civil official uniform stood up and directed the jugglers of the dragon and lion dances to approach the shore to greet the governor.
The big ship on the river sailed rapidly, and in a short time, it had reached the middle of the river, and it was only 500 steps away from the wharf.
The big ship approached the shore, and the prepared soldiers stepped forward to set up ladders.
A middle-aged man with a slightly yellow face and a huge body stepped off the boat first, followed by a group of soldiers.
"See the Governor!"
A group of officials, large and small, saluted the middle-aged man who walked down the boat.
At this critical moment, the drums on the shore stopped, and the acrobatic personnel of the dragon and lion dances knelt down to greet them.
The scene became silent for a while, and the silence was incomparable.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a second-grade civil official uniform, his sharp eyes swept over the officials present, a smile rose on his face, and he said loudly: "Everyone, please get up, this official has just arrived, and he will rely on you in the future." ”
"Governor Xie!"
A group of local officials in Zhejiang stood up loudly.
"This is the commander of Yang Du, right?" The middle-aged man took a few steps forward, looked at Yang Yong, who was the leader on the left, and asked with a smile.
Yang Yong was dressed in the regular uniform of a second-grade military attache today, and his identity was about to be revealed, and he smiled slightly: "It's the lower official!" ”
Officials at the same level of the second rank do not need to claim to be subordinate officials, but the imperial court has always emphasized literature over military force, and the governor supervises the military and civilians of a province, so his status is much higher than that of Yang Yong's commander.
The middle-aged man smiled, nodded slightly to Yang Yong, and then asked Lord Wang of the Judge and Lord Liang of the Political Division.
After greeting the second and third rank officials, the middle-aged man took the holy decree handed over by his subordinates from behind him, and said loudly: "Before the official left Beijing, Lord Ye of the cabinet personally handed over the emperor's holy decree to the official and brought it to Zhejiang. ”
When the officials heard the word holy decree, they hurriedly knelt down to receive the decree!
The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the performance of the local officials in Zhejiang, and he opened the holy decree and read it aloud.
The holy decree from the imperial court is very strange, neither rewarded the Zhejiang officials, nor angered the Zhejiang officials because of Wang Jing's rebellion, and the few hundred words on the holy decree are almost all words of admonition, without any substantive content.
After the middle-aged man finished reciting the holy decree, the officials knelt down to give thanks.
Next, the middle-aged man asked Yang Yong: "Does Ling Gongzi come to the dock?" ”
"The dog official has a low position, and he has occasionally felt cold recently, so he can't come to greet the governor in person, please forgive me!" Yang Yong didn't know what the middle-aged man meant by asking, but he was not an old fox in the officialdom, and replied with an impassive expression.
"I see, since this is the case, then the order of this official department will be handed over to Yang Du's command envoy to Ling Gongzi!" The middle-aged man took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Yong on the spot.
Yang Yong's puzzled eyes flashed away, and he took the letter and put it directly into his sleeve, without a trace of expression on his face.
Next, the officials invited the new governor to go to Wangjiang Tower, and the local rich gentry took the wind and washed the dust for the new governor.
The middle-aged man did not shirk, smiled and boarded the carriage with all the Zhejiang officials, and the group beat gongs and drums, and entered the city lively.
~~~~~~~
In the afternoon.
Yang Xiaoyu sat on the main seat of the hall, his brows condensed, and his face was sad.
There was news from Yang's Mansion just now that Yang Yong was looking for him in a hurry and asked him to hurry back to his house.
Yang Xiaoyu guessed that Yang Yong's search for him should be about the Ling family?
After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaoyu tidied up his clothes and left the house with dozens of guards.
When he came to Yang's mansion, Yang Xiaoyu did not delay for a moment, and ran straight to Yang Yong's study.
Pushing open the closed study door, Yang Xiaoyu strode in, he saw Yang Yong sitting in front of the study staring at a letter on the desk, and hurriedly said, "Father, but what's the matter?" ”
"See for yourself!" Yang Yong handed the order to Yang Xiaoyu.
Yang Xiaoyu thought it was an ordinary letter, but when he saw the big seal of the Ministry of Officials for the first time, he thought that he was dazzled, so he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked at it, it was indeed an official document of the Ministry of Officials.
Two large vermilion characters hang brightly on the top.
Yang Xiaoyu slowly read the first line of words, and when he finished reading the last line, there was a look of shock on his face, and his mind was blank.
He couldn't understand why his subordinates were appointed?
But his heart is more of a snickering joy!
After a while, Yang Xiaoyu calmed down his excitement and asked slowly, "Father, what does this official document mean by the subordinates?" ”
"It's also incomprehensible for my father, this official document was handed over to my father by Governor Zhao, otherwise, my father would think it was a fake official document!" Yang Yong frowned deeply and said in a deep voice.
"Father, the child thinks that this matter is a good thing, if the child's guess is correct, this appointment is decided by the cabinet, with the consent of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and finally the official document issued by the officials, and the cabinet issued this appointment, which is just to envelop the father, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a reward for the child to kill the remnants of the white lotus."
"My father also guessed this, but what makes my father a little puzzled is that the cabinet wants to reward you, and you can completely make an official document and promote you to Nanzhili Caoyun Thousand Households, there is no need to install you in Jinyiwei, besides, you are the next commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, and entering Jinyiwei to contact the secret affairs of the imperial court is not a good thing for them!"
"Father is too worried, according to the child's guess, this matter is inseparable from the recommendation of He Tao of Hangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, besides, the child exterminated the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, thanks to the court, Jinyiwei commanded Luo Sigong to let go of the child This meritorious man!" Yang Xiaoyu smiled with a little meaning.
