Zheng Kezhang made a special trip to Hong Lei to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday Generally speaking, the emperor can remember the birthday of his courtiers, and it is a great grace to reward some gadgets at that time

But for Hong Lei, this is not the case at all Hong Lei, a native of Tong'an, Fujian, although his father Hong Xu followed Zheng Chenggong together to oppose the Qing Dynasty in the early years, and then went through two generations of Zheng Jing and Zheng Kezang, and made great contributions to the world, and finally retreated to the second line as the minister of Yuanfu Wenyuan Pavilion University of the Ming Dynasty

However, the bad thing is that the Hong family has too much status in the political territory of the country

Hong Lei's cousin Hong Gongzhu is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of General Jinwu of Zhengerpin, and was awarded the title of Founding Marquis of Yueqing County; Hong Lei's cousin Huang Liangbi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the minister of the second cabinet, and the son of Nanzhang County, the founding son of the country; Hong Lei's nephew, Hong Wenping, is the procurator of the Yidong Criminal Department; Another nephew, Hong Wenxing, was the prefect of Guangzhou; The eldest son, Hong Yao, is the Wailang of the Salt and Iron Yamen Shipping Department, and the second son Hong Hui is the deputy chief soldier of the Yamen Metropolitan Supervisor of Military Affairs and Military Discipline in Yunnan; In addition, Hong Lei has been in the center of suffocation for many years, and his protégés are all over the Chinese government and the opposition; But this is nothing, the crux of the matter is that Hong Lei is still the maternal uncle of Queen Chen Miao

It is precisely because the Hong family and the Chen family are the biggest relatives of the Huaxia Dynasty that Zheng Kezhang can use Hong Lei and Hong Gongzhu to stabilize the situation in Dongning at the most critical juncture, but time has passed, and when he has firmly established himself in South China, Hong Lei will naturally withdraw from the center of the political stage

Hong Lei is also a smart person, so when Zheng Kezhang slowly showed his indifference to himself, he had to retreat out of the suffocating power center, but when he began to retire, Hong Lei was only in his early sixties, as a politician, this age is the most golden moment, how not to let him be lost, so he was angry and once asked to go back to his hometown in Fujian to recuperate, but how could Zheng Kezhang deal with it so simply, even if it was out of the need to appease other heroes, he couldn't let Hong Lei return to his hometown, so no matter how many times Hong Lei went to the book, Zheng Kezhang was not allowed, and in the end, the queen Chen Xianqiao came forward to compromise and placed Hong Lei at the foot of Lushan Mountain, which was called "Auxiliary Yuanchen, Nearby Consultation"

If it was just like this, Hong Lei, who was a little unhappy at first, could see the landscape after a long time, but at the end of the second year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezhang approved the promulgation and implementation of the "Wucheng Official Law", in which the "Official Law" clearly stipulates the age of Chinese officials, the first rank official is 68 years old, the second rank official is 65 years old, the third grade official is 62 years old, the fourth rank official is 60 years old, the fifth grade official is 58 years old, the sixth grade official is 55 years old, the seventh grade and below the seventh grade official is 52 years old, and the foreign officials are 50 years old

Although Hong Lei will not naively complain in the letters with Hong Gongzhu, Huang Liangbi and others, but Zheng Kezang, who knows well, cannot help but come forward to eliminate the influence, so there is a good story of today's personal congratulations to the monarch and ministers

Hong Lei was old and frail, and the birthday banquet prepared by his family did not drag on for too long, and the remnant banquet was not withdrawn, so Hong Lei waited for Zheng Kezang's summons, and then was hugged by several internal guards and carried to the palace where Zheng Kezhang was temporarily staying

The palace is just another courtyard where Hong Lei occasionally lives on weekdays, and the scenery is familiar in the past, but at the moment it is heavily guarded, thinking that even if Zheng Kezhang leaves, this courtyard will not be able to live in people

Hong Lei, who was outside the courtyard gate, looked at it with some regret, but the waiter who had been waiting for a long time didn't give him time to re-look at him, and hurriedly led him into the pilgrimage: "The old minister knocks on my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Don't be polite, come here, find a comfortable chair for Hong Qing" Zheng Kezhang commanded, after Hong Lei sat down, Zheng Kezhang chuckled and said, "Hong Qing, I am also borrowing flowers to offer Buddha" To eliminate the block in Hong Lei's heart, naturally it is not to accept a toast, and some birthday gifts can be solved lightly, not to mention that Zheng Kezhang can't participate in Hong Lei's birthday banquet, otherwise he will be noisy, so when the banquet is over, Zheng Kezhang will invite Hong Lei, and he will put on a humble posture to ask the old minister about politics, But asking politics is not a straightforward approach, in case Hong Lei is blocked back, there are no steps under the two sides, it will be embarrassing, so Zheng Kezhang can only say something inconsequential first, "A rough look on the road, Hong Qing's Zhuangzi is well organized"

"The saint praised it falsely, this actually has nothing to do with the old minister" Zheng Kezhang obviously wanted to extend from the Qi family to the governance of the country, but Hong Lei didn't eat this set, and responded neatly, "What is planted in this Zhuangzi, how is it produced, the old minister doesn't know anything, he only knows that the way of management of the Zhuangzi is still taught by the manager of the inner court."

Zheng Kezhang smiled embarrassedly, in fact, he knew what Hong Lei said, of course he didn't eliminate the fact that the lords and heroes of the Huaxia Dynasty still used the old-fashioned method to go out of the tenant fields and be the ones who only knew how to send food, so according to his instructions, there was a manager who ran the Wangzhuang business to give a special management training course to each nobleman who received the Yitian, so that they could grow more profitable cash crops on their own land, and gradually realize agricultural capitalismThe emergence of self-employed landowners is encouraged, but the government's restraint on the countryside is still very poor, so the implementation of the policy is not clear

"Hong Qing is old and old
