273 The prince of Chongwang

"It's Bachelor Su in front?"

Su Hao took Deng Kui and a few others to urge the horse to the city gate, and an official dressed in five-grade uniforms led several entourages to meet him, bowed to Su Hao, and asked happily. Su Hao's title is a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy and an experience in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the former title is higher than the latter title, so when others call him, they all refer to the title of bachelor.

Su Hao hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and also bowed back: "It's Su Hao below, dare to ask......"

"In the Lower Runing Mansion, I am the same as Du Weiming, and I am appointed by the Governor of Liu, and I am here to wait for Master Su." The officer replied.

"It turned out to be Du Tongzhi, disrespectful and disrespectful." Su Hao said politely.

Next, it is time to introduce each other's attachés, the people brought by Du Weiming are nothing more than some kind of experience, governor, and care, all of them are more than twice as old as Su Hao, and they still have to meet with the official etiquette in front of Su Hao. Su Hao hugged each other one by one and returned the salute, and everyone felt envious, jealous and hateful in their hearts, needless to mention.

After the etiquette, it was to arrange the accommodation of Su Hao and Kanyuying. There are 2,000 people in the survey camp, and it is unrealistic to live in the city, and it is not compliant. Runing Mansion had been notified by the Ministry of War in advance, and found a confiscated grange outside the city as a camp for the survey camp.

Originally, there was a zinc house in the grange, and after the Kanyu camp was settled, some new ones were built, which was enough for these people to be stationed. Until the new premises were built, some of the soldiers in the camp were still required to live in tents. Du Weiming repeatedly apologized to Su Hao for this matter, Su Hao knew that it was very hasty to send the survey camp to Runing this time, and it was reasonable that people didn't have time to prepare, so they naturally didn't care.

Du Weiming saw that Su Hao agreed to this plan, so he assigned an experience to take the survey camp to the grange to camp. Deng Kui, as a lieutenant officer, was naturally responsible for leading the team, while Su Hao stayed with his own personal soldiers and staff team.

"Master Su, your residence has also been arranged, and it is the house of a former official. After this official became an official, the house has not been inhabited by anyone, and it has been deserted for seven or eight years. But don't worry, a few days ago, Governor Liu had sent someone to repair and clean it, and it was very clean. You go and see it first, and if you don't like it, I'll help you find another place. Du Weiming said.

"No hassle. There is a house to live in, how dare you let Liu Zhifu and Du Tongzhi bother more. Su Hao said. When he was in Huai'an, he also lived in an old house, which shows that the officials everywhere have some such old mansions in their hands, ready for emergencies.

Du Weiming led the way in front, and Su Hao walked side by side with him. A group of people rushed into Runing City and walked towards the official mansion that Du Weiming said. Along the way, Du Weiming and Su Hao just talked about some gossip, and did not involve the government affairs of Su Hao's trip.

Behind Su Hao, there were Li Zhen who had changed his appearance, Song Ling who accompanied Li Zhen, Xu Guangzu, Chen Guanyu, Zhou Ruyuan and others, and then dozens of personal guards led by Xiong Minfan, the captain of the guard. Bookkeeper Cheng Yi was also taken by Su Hao's side. His reason was that the singer was a girl and needed someone to accompany her. Boss Cheng Yi reluctantly agreed to this request, and followed behind the team at this time, his face was ugly.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the group came to the door of a mansion. The house looks quite big from the outside, the white walls are obviously freshly painted, the door is also newly painted, and there is the word "Sufu" on the door. It seems that Runing Mansion is still quite concerned about Su Hao's coming to take office, at least it didn't give him a dismissal.

There were already two officials waiting in front of the house, and when they saw Du Weiming and others coming, the officials hurriedly pushed open the door and welcomed Su Hao and his party in. Su Hao and Du Weiming said politely to each other, and then walked in hand in hand, and the others followed behind them. The fish walked all over the place, and they all entered the house.

After entering the house, Su Hao naturally couldn't be busy looking at his bedroom or anything, but with Du Weiming. Sitting in the lobby drinking tea and chatting, there were servants sent by Du Weiming from the Tongzhi Yamen to wait. Du Weiming told Su Hao that there is a tooth shop in Runing City, and you can buy some good slaves, maid rings, etc., if Su Hao wants to live in Runing permanently, these subordinates in the house need to be equipped.

Chen Guanyu also had the duties of Su Hao's housekeeper, and after entering the door, he began to arrange everyone's accommodation. The two girls, Ge Ling and Cheng Yi, were arranged in a corner of the inner house, which is said to be where the young lady of the original official's family lived. Li Zhen and Xu Guangzu unceremoniously occupied the master's bedroom, study and other places, leaving only one room for Su Hao.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Du Weiming said to Su Hao: "Has Mr. Su worked hard all the way? If you don't work hard, you can go to Runing Mansion with you, and Governor Liu set up a banquet, saying that he would wash the dust for Master Su. ”

"How dare you, I should have gone to visit the prefect in the future, but it would be rude to go again at this time." Su Hao said.

Du Weiming said with a smile: "Governor Liu is an unruly person, he ordered him to take Master Su to the mansion to rest first, and then go to the mansion."

"Then thank you Governor Liu for your intentions." Su Hao said.

When I went to the Runing Prefecture to meet the prefect Liu Qichang, I naturally didn't have to bring too many entourages. Su Hao only called Chen Guanyu to go with him, and Xiong Minfan took a few personal soldiers to protect him, which was another matter.

Liu Qichang, the prefect of Runing, is a half-old man in his 50s, not tall, not good-looking, and belongs to the type that is difficult to find out if thrown in the crowd. Before Su Hao set off from Huai'an, he had specially asked people to collect information about Liu Qichang, and the result was that this person acted extremely low-key, and the concept of governing was not to seek merit, but to seek no fault. It has been three years since he became the prefect of Runing, and he has hardly done a single innovative thing, and the people's livelihood in Runing Mansion can be said to be deteriorating, which is inseparable from his incompetence.

Under the guidance of Du Weiming, Su Hao came to the lobby of the government office and met Liu Qichang with official etiquette. Liu Qichang hastily asked a few words about Su Hao's mission on this trip, and then said with a haha: "Master Su is young and promising, and he will definitely be able to make some achievements when he comes to Runing Mansion with the holy order." Come on, come on, the mansion has already arranged a table of light banquets for Master Su to wash the dust, let's talk while drinking. ”

"Thank you, Governor Liu." Su Hao responded.

The banquet was arranged in the back hall of the government office, and there were two tables in total, one table for the main and one for the secondary. Su Hao naturally sat at the main table, and Chen Guanyu, as Su Hao's entourage, could only sit at the second table.

There are two main seats on the main table, Liu Qichang, as the prefect, naturally wants to occupy one main seat, as for the other main seat, Su Hao has suspicions, I don't know if he will let him sit on it. In terms of grade, Du Weiming, as a fellow acquaintance, is the fifth grade, while Su Hao is from the fifth grade, Du Weiming is considered a Shangguan, and his rank should be higher than Su Hao. But from the unspoken rules, Su Hao is an official sent by Jingli, and Wanli and Wang Xijue are standing behind him, so it makes sense for him to sit at the top. Su Hao thought that if Liu Qichang asked him to sit in another main seat for a while, how should he pretend to resign, so that he could appear neither humble nor arrogant, as if he often attended this kind of sincerity.

Who knows, just when Su Hao was entangled, Liu Qichang invited a young man in his 20s out of nowhere and gave him up to another main position. The young man did not seem to feel anything wrong with this arrangement, he sat down calmly, and then raised his hand and gestured to the crowd: "You don't have to be formal, please take a seat."

Su Hao sat down suspiciously in the position he had arranged, this was the top position in addition to the main seat, and he happened to be face to face with Du Weiming, saving him the trouble of passing the buck to each other. Looking at Su Hao's confused look, Liu Qichang smiled and said, "Master Su has just arrived, so let's introduce it to you first." This is the prince of Chongwang, presumably Master Su has also heard of his name, right?"

Chongwang Shizi!

Su Hao suddenly understood, no wonder this guy was able to sit next to the prefect at a young age, and it turned out to be the imperial prince.

King Chong was a feudal king in the era of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, and the domain was Runing Mansion. The first generation of King Chong is Zhu Jianze, the sixth son of Yingzong, and the current King Chong is the fifth generation grandson of Zhu Jianze, named Zhu Yijue, who is of the same generation as Wanli. Zhu Yijue had no son-in-law, and in the 6th year of Wanli, he named the first son of Shu as the son, but the son died without waiting for the attack, so in the 14th year of Wanli, he named the second son Zhu Changjin as the son, that is, the son that Su Hao sees now.

Seeing Zhu Changjin appear at the prefect's banquet, Su Hao had mixed feelings in his heart, and he had a little different views on Liu Qichang.

In the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the rights of vassal kings were very strictly restricted. The purpose of this rule is very clear, that is, to prevent the feudal king from cultivating his own power and threatening the imperial power. According to the regulations, except for his birthday, the feudal lord was not allowed to drink alcohol or participate in various local celebrations. It is a very taboo thing for the prince to appear at this banquet at this time, if it is reported by the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, King Chong and Liu Qichang will be punished very severely, and the prince may even be demoted to a concubine.

However, such a thing happened, and it was in front of Su Hao. Su Hao's current identity is the experience of the Investigation Institute, and it is the first time he has met Liu Qichang, is he really not afraid that Su Hao will stab this matter to the Zongren Mansion? Liu Qichang dared to do this, which shows that he has no fear, and it is obvious that he is doing it for Su Hao, so what does he want to hint at Su Hao in this way?

At this moment, Su Hao thought a lot quickly, and hesitated whether he should leave with his sleeves and avoid sitting at the same table with Shizi and drinking. But he still didn't do it in the end, since the officials at this table dared to stay, and the prince dared to attend in a grand manner, then it means that they have assessed the risk, and if they leave immediately, the relationship with the local officials and the Chongwang Mansion will be completely severed, and his mission in Runing Mansion will be ruined.

Maybe Liu Qichang just wants to use this method to squeeze himself out?

That being the case, then I have to stay, and see what tricks you have to play. Su Hao made a quick decision. (To be continued.) You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation votes and monthly passes. For mobile phone users, please go to read
