274 Keep a low profile
"It turned out to be the son of the world, disrespectful!"
Su Hao stood up and bowed to Zhu Changjin, without any unusual appearance on his face or in his tone.
A trace of surprise passed over Zhu Changjin's face, he also raised his hand, bowed back to Su Hao, and said lightly: "This is what Governor Liu said about Master Su, right?" He is indeed young and promising, and he has been taught. ”
"Bachelor Su is a young talent who has been praised even by the saints, and his position as a bachelor was personally recommended by Shen Shoufu. According to the government, in less than 10 years, Mr. Su will be able to enter the cabinet as a minister. Liu Qichang said with a smile.
"How dare you dare, the prince and the prefect of Liu have both praised it, and the lower officials just happened by chance, and they did a few things that made the saint quite satisfied, so that they could get this holy favor. Here, he received an envoy from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Runing Mansion, and he also relied on the help of the prince and the prefect Liu. Su Hao said politely.
"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." Liu Qichang said, "Everyone, let's start the banquet first, and talk while drinking." ”
The routine of the banquet was almost the same, Liu Qichang said a few words to welcome the arrival of the prince, welcome Mr. Su from afar, etc., and then Zhu Changjin and Su Hao thanked each other, and then everyone toasted and drank together. The servants shuttled back and forth like flowing water, bringing all kinds of dishes, and the officials frequently raised their glasses, and before they knew it, they had already drunk five or six rounds.
"Bachelor Su came to Runing this time, and the official document said that it was to supervise Haoqiang's occupation of the land, I don't know what Bachelor Su thinks about this matter, and how he plans to operate it."
After the persuasion ended, Liu Qichang finally brought the topic to official business. In the public court just now, he and Su Hao just briefly exchanged the will of the imperial court, and now what he wants to ask is Su Hao's own attitude. In front of so many officials, as well as the prince of Chongwang, this is what Su Hao means to express his position.
Su Hao smiled slightly and said, "Governor Liu asked the lower officials, but he really stopped the lower officials. Xia Guan had never been to Runing Mansion before. This time I came to Runing Mansion, since I entered the city, it has only been two hours, and it is really difficult to say a charter from the next official in a hurry. ”
"Hey, it's not for you to talk about the charter, just a casual chat. I heard that Master Su was in Huai'an Mansion to clear the acres of fields. Resolute and resolute, all of them are courageous, and this trip to Runing is bound to continue to be brilliant. Liu Qichang still said with a smile.
Su Hao knew that Liu Qichang's words were definitely words like hiding a knife in a smile and acting resolutely. On the surface, it sounds like a compliment, but if you think about it carefully, it actually means that Su Hao acted rudely and ruthlessly. Behavior like this was actually very taboo in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. If Su Hao dared to say in front of these officials in Runing Mansion that he was going to do things vigorously in Runing Mansion, he was afraid that as soon as the words came out, he would have offended everyone to death.
According to Liu Qichang's thoughts, Su Hao is just an 18-year-old boy. The blood is strong, and there is no city, let others praise a few words, and they will definitely not be able to find the north, and they will inevitably say something arrogant, and then leave a bad image in the hearts of everyone.
It's a pity that Liu Qichang misjudged, Su Hao has the experience of two lives, and he is not an ignorant teenager. Along the way. He also discussed with Xu Guangzu, Chen Guanyu, Zhou Ruyuan and others about the strategy after arriving in Runing, and after saving Li Zhen, Li Zhen also gave him a lot of advice. At this time, facing the trap set by Liu Qichang, Su Hao was not tempted by it at all.
"Governor Liu laughed, some rumors are completely unbelievable, just false rumors." Su Hao replied with a smile.
"I heard that Master Su was in Huai'an's survey camp with a mere 200 people. Isn't it true that he faced more than 100 Japanese robbers and finally annihilated them all?" Du Weiming asked.
Su Hao said: "The matter of facing the Japanese is the truth. But. To say that Hao is just relying on a mere 200 people is a joke. Hao is still young, and he hasn't even married his wife, how dare he gamble with his life? At that time, there were 1,000 elite soldiers from Huai'anwei and 1,000 elite soldiers sent by the Jiangdao General Military Office. Of course, this pioneer is quite open, so Hao can get the praise of the saint. ”
"That's not easy! Come on, Master Su, in order to fight against the Japanese, I will toast you a glass below. Du Weiming picked up the wine glass, stood up and saluted Su Hao, Su Hao also stood up, clinked glasses with Du Weiming, and drank the wine.
Then, other officials in Runing Mansion also asked about Su Hao's corruption cases in Huai'an, the investigation and punishment of Zhang Xiang and others, etc., all of which were transmitted through officialdom channels, and everyone knew about them and had doubts. Since Liu Qichang made a prompt and Du Weiming started the way, everyone naturally pretended to be curious and began to ask Su Hao for verification.
Su Hao had already made up a set of rhetoric, saying that Qingzhang's matter was done by Han Wen, and he just sent troops to help measure the land; As for the investigation and punishment of Zhang Xiang, it was Pan Jitao's doing, and what he did was to help settle the accounts or something. Regarding the suppression of the powerful landlords in Huai'an, Su Hao also gave a greatly reduced answer, saying that in fact, it was only a Haoqiang who was killed, and the rest of the people were all fine after returning a few acres of land.
In those days, there were no ubiquitous journalists, and there was no omniscient Internet, and people could only know a rough idea of what was happening in other parts of the country, but not the details. Previously, there were rumors in the officialdom about how Su Hao was murderous and how young and frivolous, which formed an extremely bad impression on the officials of Runing Mansion. Now, Su Hao is sitting at the wine table talking and laughing, and he is also very humble to those officials whose official positions are smaller than himself, which makes everyone start to doubt the previous rumors.
That's right, this is just a teenager who hasn't grown a beard, how can he have such a big achievement? It must be because he can play some fresh tricks and get Wanli's favor, so he can soar, and the stories about what Japanese and Qingzhang are just materials made up by the cabinet to paste him with gold.
Thinking about this verse, everyone relaxed. Originally, I was worried that Su Hao's arrival would cause a lot of trouble to everyone, but now I realized how ridiculous this idea was. The officials sent by the imperial court to Runing Mansion to supervise are not only Su Hao's group, those officials are of higher grade and more seniority, and in the end, they will not leave without a place to go? Su Hao, a young man, what big waves can he set off?
"So, Master Su, what are you going to do in Runing next?" Du Weiming asked for Liu Qichang.
Su Hao said: "I came to Runing by holy order. If nothing is accomplished, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain when I go back. Hao's idea is that this powerful occupation of land must still be investigated. Although Runing Mansion is under the governance of Governor Liu and his colleagues, all kinds of waste are prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but these individual flies and mosquitoes. There are still a few of them. Hao plans to visit the people in a few days, and he has to catch a few flies to come out, Du Tongzhi said, right?"
"Understood, understood!" Du Weiming laughed and said, "What Master Su said is very true, although I dare not slack off every day, but I am not careful. There is always something that cannot be taken care of. If Master Su can pick up the gaps for us and others, the people of Runing Mansion will be blessed. ”
Su Hao's answer made Liu Qichang quite satisfied. Su Hao said that he wanted to catch flies, which meant that he would not fight tigers. An official was ordered to come down to investigate the case, but not a single fly was caught, so it was naturally unreasonable, so Liu Qichang was also mentally prepared to abandon some small landlords as cannon fodder. Even. If Su Hao didn't find any suitable people, Liu Qichang wouldn't mind providing him with a few small landlords who were usually not very obedient, and let Su Hao lock them away and go back to Beijing to make a business.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Master Su was ordered by the imperial court to come down to investigate and deal with the lawless and powerful. This government is here to put a sentence, no matter which state or county Master Su goes to, all states and counties must fully cooperate. There must be no slackness. We don't have too many scenic spots in Runing Mansion, but some products are still unique. When Master Su goes to the states and counties, everyone must come up with the best things to entertain, do you hear clearly?" Liu Qichang explained to the local officials present.
"Yes, yes, the lower officials welcome Master Su to our Xincai County. Although there are no famous mountains and rivers in Xincai County, there is a Wangyue Garden in the city, and the clear spring in the garden is sweet. There are also mountains and stone pavilions, which has always been a place for literati to drink and chant poetry, and they also invite Bachelor Su to taste one or two. This is Shao Mengsheng, the magistrate of Xincai County, echoing it appropriately.
"It's such a good place, that bachelor is going to see it." Su Hao put on a good look. The proposals of the crowd to invite him to visit the tour were accepted one by one.
Because Su Hao's performance was very friendly, the atmosphere of this banquet became more and more enthusiastic. The officials stepped forward to toast Su Hao and talked, and Zhu Changjin, the prince of Jiachong Wang, also raised a few glasses to Su Hao very reservedly, Su Hao naturally showed a flattered look and hurriedly replied.
Full of wine and food, Liu Qichang stood up and announced the end of the banquet, and everyone got up and walked out.
Zhu Changjin, as the prince, was naturally the latest to arrive and the first to leave, and everyone stood in the courtyard of the government office to see off the prince. Before Zhu Changjin got into the carriage, he patted Su Hao's shoulder and said, "Master Su is so young, but he is so sophisticated, Xiao Wang admires it." Another day, Xiao Wang will set up a banquet and invite Mr. Su to narrate. ”
"Hao must obey his fate!" Su Hao responded.
Send Zhu Changjin away, and it will be Su Hao's turn to leave next. Liu Qichang symbolically sent him two steps, and then arranged for his master Di Yunshi to be responsible for sending him out of the gate of the government office. Outside the gate, Di Yunshi took out a brocade box, handed it to Su Hao, and said, "Master Su has just arrived, and it costs a lot of money to set up a home. This is a little caution on the part of the prefect, in order to be the capital of Master Su's home. ”
Su Hao pushed each other with his hand and said, "How dare Hao let Lord Fuzun break the bank?" This is absolutely unacceptable. ”
Master Di Yun said: "Bachelor Su is out of sight, the prefect admires Bachelor Su's talent, so he gives a thin gift, Bachelor Su is so prevaricated, wouldn't it give the prefect face?"
"Uh...... Then Su Hao is better to obey than to be respectful. Su Hao had to pretend to be embarrassed, put the brocade box away, and handed it to Chen Guanyu, who quickly put the brocade box into his arms.
"Then Su will leave, and the grace of Governor Liu's mansion will be reported by Su in the future." Su Hao arched his hand to Di Yunshi, took Chen Guanyu and Xiong Minfan and others, and left.
