Chapter 164: Xuanfu Makes Tongzhi
In the back hall of the county ya, Shanyin County, Datong Prefecture, Wang Peng, who had just been dismissed from the post of county commander, was sitting in the back hall of the yamen sulking.
Although he has been back for several days, the news that he has been dismissed from the post of county magistrate has spread in the county government and the entire Shanyin County. However, Wang Peng's heart was always full of unconvincing thoughts.
As time went on, this idea became more and more intense......
"Why can't you be a good official if you want to......"
"Why is it so difficult to be a good official in the Ming Dynasty..."
"Could it be that our Ming court has really decayed to the point of hopelessness, and even a good official can't tolerate it..."
When Wang Peng's face continued to change with various thoughts, the gray-haired old housekeeper walked into the back hall quickly, glanced at Wang Peng with a heartbroken face, and hurriedly said: "Master, someone outside the yamen is looking for you..."
"Find me...."Wang Peng's face directly showed an expression full of surprise.
Because, since the news of his dismissal spread in Shanyin County, the so-called people go to tea and cool. No one from the county government of Nuoda has come to visit him again.
Now that he suddenly heard that someone would come to visit him at this time, a smile immediately flashed on Wang Peng's unpredictable face, and he commanded the old butler with an excited face; "Quick, get someone in right now...."
Soon, under the leadership of the old housekeeper, Wei Zheng, Zhou Shuyuan, and Zhang Wu appeared in the back hall of the yamen.
At the dinner a few days ago, although Wang Peng had seen Wei Zheng and Zhou Shuyuan, he didn't see it very clearly. So. When it first started. Wang Peng did not recognize Wei Zheng, the general soldier of Datong. also did not see his future direct boss, that is, Zhou Shuyuan, the envoy of Datong Xuanfu.
However, because Deputy General Zhang Wu and Zhang have been in Datong Mansion for almost two years, Wang Peng and Wang County Commander are still very familiar with Zhang Wu.
After seeing Zhang Wu in the middle of the three people, Wang Peng quickly stood up from his seat and said respectfully: "Xiaguan... No. It's no longer a prefectural order. The grass people have seen General Zhang, and I don't know what General Zhang has to do when he comes to the grass people..."
After glaring at Wang Peng, who had no eyes in front of him, he said with a dissatisfied face: "Lord Wang, don't you have long eyes." Not only am I here, but our Datong General Soldier Wei and Xuanfu Envoy Zhou are here, and we haven't come to see General Wei..."
"Lord Commander-in-Chief..."Wang Peng was stunned suddenly, and he didn't react for a while.
It wasn't until Wei Zheng sat down on the main seat of the back hall with a smile that Wang Peng suddenly woke up, hurriedly walked in front of Wei Zheng, and said respectfully: "The grass people don't know that the chief soldier is coming to the cold house. I have neglected the Chief Soldier, please forgive the General Soldier..."
Wei Zheng waved his hand and said, "Okay." Sit down, I'm not here today to trouble you. ”
Then, directly under the gaze of Wang Peng's incomprehensible eyes, he ordered Zhou Shuyuan: "Lord Zhou, you first announce to Lord Wang an order issued by the General Military Mansion..."
"Yes, my lord..."Zhou Shuyuan happily took out a letter of appointment stamped with the seal of the Datong General Military Mansion, and said to Wang Peng.
"Lord Wang, after the decision of the Chief Soldier, I temporarily appoint you as the envoy of Datong Xuanfu. At present, this decision has been reported to the imperial court, as long as the imperial court agrees, from now on, you will be the imperial court's five products of the Datong Xuanfu envoy..."
Wang Peng, who was still annoyed by his loss of office just now, was directly stunned by this surprise.
lost a seven-pin county order, but now it has become a five-pin Xuanfu envoy. Although this Xuanfu envoy Tongzhi belongs to a military general, in terms of grade, after all, it is several levels higher than the county order. Therefore, this result is tantamount to pie in the sky for Wang Peng
After he reacted from the surprise, Zhou Shuyuan had already spoken again: "Lord Wang, from today onwards, you will be my subordinate." However, from now on, although you are a military attaché, you are still doing what a civilian official should do..."
"As for what to do, the chief soldier will tell you in person."
Hearing this, Wang Peng immediately looked at Wei Zheng with grateful eyes.
Although Wang Peng is a rare good official in the Ming Dynasty, as long as he is a good official, he will have his own political ambitions, hoping that he can wrinkle further in the court and have a higher official position. Although I don't know why the chief soldier weizheng values himself so much, I don't know what the purpose of the chief soldier is doing this.
However, at this moment, Wang Peng had one thought in his heart, that is, he had met Bole. And Wei Zheng is this Bole.
Then, he swore to Wei Zheng and said: "Please give an order to the chief soldier, and the subordinate will go to the soup and fire, and do not hesitate to repay the kindness of the chief soldier..."
Wei Zheng nodded and agreed: "I don't need you to repay any kindness." As long as you are in the same position as the county magistrate of Shanyin County, and do things well, it will prove that my Wei Zheng has not misjudged anyone. And your official position will continue to rise. You must know that what I Wei Zheng likes is not flattery, but down-to-earth work..."
"As for the first thing you did after serving as the Xuanfu envoy, it is not only related to whether our Tiger and Leopard Army can develop and grow in the future and defend Datong Mansion, but also related to the stability of the entire Datong Mansion and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Daming people..."
"More and more displaced people are pouring into Datong Mansion, and I believe that Lord Wang should be no stranger. The first thing you will do when you take office is to organize these displaced people and unify them to the General Military Government for relief. ”
"At the same time, all the young and strong people among the displaced people were selected and exchanged for food from the general military palace in the way of guòtuntian in the territory of Datong Prefecture. And you, Lord Wang Peng, are responsible for the relief of tens of thousands of displaced people in the entire Datong Mansion and the Tuntian signal. ”
"I have two goals for you: first, to ensure that the tens of thousands of displaced people in Datong Mansion will no longer starve to death and freeze to death, ensure that these displaced people do not disturb the security of Datong Mansion, and ensure the stability of Datong Mansion."
"Because, only in this way, can our Tiger and Leopard Army have a stable rear and fight against the Shaanxi rebels with confidence."
"Second, before the spring of next year, organize these displaced people to reclaim at least 2 million acres of fertile land. Then, all these fertile fields will be planted with grain to ensure that the Haw Par Army will no longer have to worry about food and salary after the expansion of the army in the future..."
"How's it going, is there a problem......
Under Wei Zheng's questioning, the three of them looked at each other as if they had discussed the strangeness, and at the same time converged on Wang Peng, who had gradually calmed down, waiting for Wang Peng to come back. (To be continued......)
