Chapter 144: A Matter of Etiquette
Hearing Ambassador Sun's words, Fang Yingwu smiled and said, "What is this, I am already very generous." There are more ruthless ones, but they are not necessary. ”
"What else?" Ambassador Sun asked shamelessly.
Fang Yingwu said jokingly: "Yulin City is so big, it shouldn't be difficult to inquire about the whereabouts of Peng's second son." We're going to deliberately go to Peng Ergongzi now, guess what he will do to us when he sees us? ”
"Humiliate us or dispose of us again, of course!" Ambassador Sun looked ahead and suddenly stopped, because he saw Peng Ergongzi striding towards him in front of him
"I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao." Ambassador Sun couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Fang Yingwu was also stunned, his mouth seemed to be too bright recently. It was probably because this son-in-law returned to the office of the guard house after doing other things, and happened to bump into the alley outside the guard house.
Could it be that this is the heaven and the Buddha, but the blame?
Peng Gongzi saw the person on the other side clearly, and after a moment of confusion, he said angrily: "Why did Lord Xue let you two go?" ”
Fang Yingwu snorted lightly and said arrogantly: "What are you, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand!" ”
The second son of Peng could stand this kind of agitation, and ordered left and right: "Take it and send it in!" I'm going to see for myself how Lord Xue decides the case! ”
When even two sergeants like wolves stepped forward to take the man. Fang Yingwu and Ambassador Sun glanced at each other, did not resist, and were honestly escorted to the Zhenfu Division again.
said that in the lobby, Xue Zhenfu was thinking about what had just happened, thinking about how to reduce the impact on himself. Suddenly he heard a commotion outside the hall, and he looked up. Seeing that the second son of Peng was majestic and high-spirited, he escorted Fang Yingwu back
"Uncle Xue! Why did you let go of the two criminals so easily? Peng Ergongzi stood in the hall and shouted.
Peng Er Gongzi shouted. let Xue Zhen stroke his head as big as a fight, and his heart was bitter. Finally, the people sent Fang Yingwu away. Why was he arrested by Peng Ergongzi again?
He understood that this Second Prince Peng might not know the inside story, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered the situation in the ear of Second Prince Peng.
Taking advantage of this, Fang Yingwu arched his hand and said loudly: "Good Yulinwei, he has been arrested twice in a row, but there is an old saying that there are only three things." I took my leave under it! ”
Then Fang Yingwu pulled Ambassador Sun and quickly left. is still the same sentence, you can't give Commander Peng a chance to come forward in person!
In the inner Ya Peng, the commander heard the report. said that Fang Yingwu left very happily. He sneered at the left and right: "Scholars are cowardly and afraid of things, presumably that Fang Xiucai is nothing more than that." ”
When he left the office again, Ambassador Sun responded with a feeling to the other party: "I want to thank you for today's events." If you hadn't rescued you, prison would have been inevitable. ”
Fang Yingwu waved his hand and said: "No thanks, the matter has already implicated me, even without you, I have to save myself." ”
Ambassador Sun sighed, "Although there is nothing to do today. But it's hard to stay in Yulin City, so it's time for me to resign and go back to Shanxi. As for Guangyouku, whoever likes to take over will take over! ”
Fang Yingwu persuaded: "This is an old man's words, but Master Sun doesn't need to worry. Maybe something will turn around. ”
Out of the alley, Fang Yingwu and Sun Lin parted ways. Ambassador Sun went back to the warehouse, while Fang Yingwu went to the Governor's Procuratorate.
Although there is no master in the governor's courtyard for the time being. However, there were still a number of left-behind miscellaneous servants and scribes on duty. Fang Yingwu came here as a staff member of the governor's staff, holding the governor's red edict and a card ticket. The entire procuratorate immediately jumped up.
Clean the courtyard portal and sort out the stranded official documents. Inform the whole city of the yamen to welcome the matter, prepare the vehicle sedan chair and blowing team before and after only one day and two nights to prepare, all kinds of things are very busy.
However, Fang Yingwu, as the governor's representative, is still the only one at present, just sitting in the governor's courtyard, drinking tea and listening to reports and instructions, and passing a leadership addiction -- specific matters are naturally handled by other people.
Another day later, according to the itinerary, Governor Yang will arrive in Yulin today, and hundreds of officials and military and civilian representatives of the whole city will go out of the city ten miles to greet him. However, Fang Yingwu didn't have to go out of the city to greet him, he only needed to wait for the owner to take office at the gate of the governor's court.
It was already noon, and Fang Yingwu was sitting in the gatehouse, dozing off boredly. In a daze, he heard a high-pitched horn, and the handyman next to him woke him up, "It's coming, it's coming!" ”
Fang Yingwu got up and wiped his face, stepped out of the door, and led a group of handymen to stand respectfully outside the gate and wait.
The mighty procession poured into the alley in front of the Governor's Courtyard, and Governor Yang's car had been replaced by a carriage on the journey to an eight-lift sedan chair, a real eight-lift sedan chair.
The sedan chair stopped outside the gate, Governor Yang got off the sedan chair, and Fang Yingwu hurriedly stepped forward to salute him.
After that, there was a series of new official inauguration ceremonies, and professionals such as local temple blessings and onmyoji came forward to guide and preside.
Fang Yingwu hurried up to chat with another governor's staff, that is, Master Cui. Very tacitly, exchange with each other what they see.
The two of them are both Governor Yang's right-hand men, and they are responsible for their own affairs, so they need to communicate more to fully grasp the overall situation.
Fang Yingwu remembered something and asked, "Fang Cai's civil and military officials are outcast, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes." I wonder if Commander Peng and others have ever knelt down to Futai? ”
Master Cui shook his head and sighed: "The commander of the guard post and the general knowledge below have all knelt down, but the commander of the guard post and above, including the commander and the deputy chief soldier, have not knelt down. As for the chief officer, he was not in the city, and I heard that he had gone to patrol the border. ”
Fang Yingwu also shook his head, Governor Yang had just arrived, and his authority had not yet been established, and there was a long way to go.
The Ming Dynasty has gradually become a noble and lowly military officer, and the military attache grade is not worth anything compared to the civilian official grade. Although it has not yet reached the exaggerated level that the ministers of the Ministry and Yuan dare to kill the general soldiers after Jiajing, it has begun to enter this trend.
Now it is still in the transition period, and there are no detailed rules to indicate how the etiquette of meeting civilians and military should be, and it largely depends on the spontaneous mentality.
For example, between the deputy governor of the border town and the commander, they are nominally of the same grade, but in fact they are in a relationship between superiors and subordinates. But savoring what is reflected in it is very meaningful.
When the commander of the Sanpin military attache Peng met Governor Yang for the first time, he refused to show a big courtesy, which can already explain a lot of problems.
"Sure enough, as you said, it's a proud soldier." Master Cui also felt the pressure.
Fang Yingwu chuckled: "It's just a paper tiger, Futai wants to make a contribution, and he can't give in to this generation, and he will be a precursor to the test." (To be continued.) )
