Chapter 166: Digging the Corner of the Brocade Guards (I)
Although Yang He only briefly mentioned the names of Li Chong and Wu Wei in the secret compromise, Ansai's achievements were too amazing, and every word in the secret compromise made the young Emperor Chongzhen excited, and he looked at the square several times in a row, and the two people who were originally inconspicuous also attracted his attention.
"Well, I've heard that the people's sentiment has improved in several places in Shaanxi before, and after reading this excerpt, I realized that this was the case! It seems that Yang He has done a really good job in Shaanxi, but all the subtleties in this excerpt are vague, and Luo Yangxing (the commander of Jinyiwei) has to send someone to check and reply one by one. I think that although this matter is presided over by Yang He, as the governor of the three sides, the government affairs are complicated, and it is difficult to do everything personally. This Li Chong and Wu Wei are the people who do things concretely, and the key to preparing for them should be the clearest" Chongzhen easily calmed down a little from the excitement, and secretly considered in his heart.
"After years of drought locusts on the nine sides, the soldiers have been in the belly, and the people have been devastated, and these wine bags and rice bags in the DPRK and China have no way to deal with it, just lie and deceive and bow down! If it weren't for Ma Mao, I wouldn't have known that the disaster situation in Shaanxi had reached that point! Yang He is a real talent, but Donglin's gang of mediocre talents can't tolerate him, and they squeeze him out of Beijing! Hey, I didn't expect him to have a considerable amount of thieves and people in Shaanxi, and this time he made a great contribution, I will order him to enter the cabinet this time, but I want to see what these Donglin gentlemen have to say! Thinking that he could see those Taoist gentlemen who were usually serious and had a set of great principles being slapped in the face, Chongzhen felt a little relieved.
"Li Chong and Wu are so great that they are a county order. A classic history, a little condescending, since these two people care about the people's society and share the worries of the monarch's father, why should I be stingy with the reward! Chongzhen couldn't help but lightly patted a few cases and blurted out.
It has been more than a year since he ascended the throne, and the national step is quite difficult, and Emperor Chongzhen has not shown a few smiles, but has been furious from time to time. The waiters around him are also to blame at every turn, so it is appropriate to see Chongzhen's reaction so big. A few of the little geldings were shocked. I thought I was going to be unlucky again. When they heard the last sentence, everyone secretly saw Chongzhen's face, and they knew that the emperor was in a good mood, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Strange in my heart. Li Chong, Wu Wei. What is the origin of these two people, who made the emperor so happy, Amitabha. I wish these two people many blessings and longevity, and it is good to make the emperor happy every day, so as to save the miscellaneous family from worrying every day!
Even Empress Zhou looked at the emperor with a smile, she saw how troubled her husband was on weekdays, seeing that he had been worried about state affairs for more than a year, his temples were slightly frosted, but he was only in a hurry, and he couldn't help much. Seeing Chongzhen in a good mood at this moment, she was also very happy, personally poured a cup of "Taixi Bai", got up and walked over and handed it to Chongzhen with both hands, turned around and poured herself a cup, raised her glass and said softly: "Concubine congratulations to Your Majesty for winning people." ”
Several senior investigators sent to Ansai by Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town were already on the way, but Wu Wei didn't know anything about them, and he was still concentrating on digging the corners of Jinyi Wei in Hukou Town!
Deputy Steward Liu is nominally second only to Yicheng and is the second-in-command of Hukouyi, but Yicheng is a sesame petty official who does not enter the stream, and Deputy Steward Liu is even more unpopular. What he did all day long was to shout at Zhang Luo's post guards to do a good job of guarding inside and outside the post station, and a mandarin duck robe was not much better than that of ordinary sergeants, and it was dusty, and many places were patched, looking like a veteran soldier in the border army.
Although it looks very inconspicuous, its real identity is a Jinyi Guard's trial hundred, a well-known military attache from the Liupin Imperial Court! Compared with Wang Baihu, the highest military governor in Hukou Town, it is only a line behind, and when it comes to noble status, how can the guards be compared with the army of the Son of Heaven!
He is forty years old, Wanli years in this pot mouth, the boss has changed a few terms, but he has not moved the position, the first person to train him more than ten years ago was bad, the next few are also not good, the most recent boss was arrested by the Nanzhen Fusi as a eunuch to eat a bit. After a few times, although he was lucky to stay away from the center of the storm and was not affected, he was already so dark in the Jinyi Guard circle that everyone avoided it.
After seeing too many ups and downs, Liu Xianbaihu has long had no idea about his future, and after more than 20 years, he has long been inseparable from Hukouyi. He settled here, married a wife and had children, he was busy every day, ushered in and sent, diligent, everyone only regarded him as Liu's deputy steward, if it weren't for the fixed time every year to find a way to go to Fucheng to report on his work, and locked at the bottom of the box, even his wife was not allowed to see a brand-new official uniform, he almost forgot that he still had such an identity!
The post station is not a good errand, over the years it has become more and more unbearable to maintain, on the one hand, the money allocated is getting less and less, and it has been deducted by the Shangguan Yamen step by step, on the other hand, it has to deal with the big and small officials who come and go, these people are very pompous, swaggering through the market, eating, drinking and lazar are all supported by the post station for free, these are still insufficient, and often extort, the slightest failure will make a big fuss, so that the whole Hukou Yiyin eats grain, and cannot make ends meet. If it weren't for the state government to know the disadvantages and for the sake of its own interests, the post station was allowed to borrow money from the state treasury, but I am afraid that this Hukou post would have been closed long ago!
Liu tried to do not fulfill his duties, he also reported to his boss several times that he was mixed as an official and blackmailed, but without exception, he was in the sea, and even his boss thought he was troublesome and did not want to see him. Which official does not have three friends and two friends, relatives and six dependents, it is already the unspoken rule of officialdom to open a letter of introduction and let him eat and drink for nothing, why do you want to touch this interest if you have nothing to do, you really don't know whether to live or die! You don't want to do it, don't stand in the way of my lord, my promotion and fortune brother!
After coming and going, Liu tried the hearts of the hundred households and also faded, looking at these grievances and turning a blind eye, in addition to the money and grain he sent to the post station, there was also a piece of money and food for the Jinyi Wei to try the hundred households, although the salaries of the Ming Dynasty officials on the surface were extremely meager, and at the end of the period, they added waste paper to the treasure banknotes, but compared to ordinary people, they were still alive, but the two sons had grown up, but they had not yet found a place to settle, but it was a hidden worry in his heart. Originally, his family was an official from Liupin, and his eldest son could inherit his position, which was equivalent to the "top position" of a modern state-owned enterprise, but he didn't follow up with Shangfeng a few times, and he was only perfunctory.
It turns out that the current bastard rules are not as good as the original, and it takes a lot of money to get his wish, and he only got a real number under the entrustment of many parties, five hundred taels of silver, and the money is made up! It is actually a clear price, and Tong Su is not deceived!
Poor Liu Xian Baihu is a bitter official, where there is so much silver filial piety, and the matter of his son will naturally be yellow. wanted to sprinkle, but the boss made him honest with a word: "Now the quota of the eunuch party has not been filled, I heard that you are very close to so-and-so?" ”
The two sons are now arranged to do the work of managing Mafu in the post station, and many times they have to do it themselves, and they are covered in mud and sweat every day, and their wages are very low, but they can make ends meet. His wife and children didn't know his true identity, but they didn't care, his wife was still busy talking about his eldest son's family, the other party was either an ordinary trader or an ordinary farmer, and the family had a bit of a background, but they were not a decent family.
Speaking of which, although he is an official in size, but this unpopular and powerless official is only afraid that no one takes it seriously, and his family's family background is not much better than ordinary people, but who is willing to let his daughter marry into such a family and suffer hardship?
Lao Tzu has been a post pawn for a lifetime, and his son has to be a post pawn, how did he promise Lao Tzu at the beginning, saying that he would be transferred back to Beijing after only three years, and he would not recognize anything if he changed people? Bastard, such a bad waste of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is from the official body of the sixth grade! Liu tried to be as indignant as a fire in his heart.
At this moment, the luck of the old brocade guard came, someone came to the door, and without saying a word, the shot was two thousand taels of silver! (To be continued......)
