Chapter 144: Fellow Countrymen
Zheng Shihai was not overjoyed after hearing this, and asked after a moment of silence: "If you can sit in this position, it will definitely be good, but have you figured out all the joints here?"
Zheng Sicheng replied: "The child has been helping his father with this for the past few months, as long as the child comes forward to visit, there is no problem, but there are still two key people who must be seen by the father in person." Watermark Advertising Test The first one of the watermark advertising tests was Wu Yong, one of the leaders of the Binxian Waiya. “
Zheng Shihai's face changed and said: "He, the poor teacher at the beginning, I heard that he defected to King Rui a few years ago and got a half-official position in the Yushitai, but this person??"
Zheng Sicheng said: "Wu Yong has been smooth sailing these years, originally it was just a supervision history of the Imperial History Tower, but a few days ago, the emperor just promoted him to the Imperial History Zhongcheng, and he is already an official position of the third grade, which is higher than your father." “
Zheng Shihai said with a look of embarrassment: "This is embarrassing for my father, he is originally from Binxian County, you also know, Feng and Chuan squeezed him back then, and I also secretly agreed, who made him so stalked." “
"I can't help it. Father, he is now the middle of the imperial history, and what he does is the work of censoring officials, if we don't take him down, no matter how many links we have opened up before. How much money was spent, and he wrote a little bit about what he didn't have, and our efforts were all in vain. Zheng Sicheng said.
"I really lost my eyes back then! Eh, yes, let's go and see this imperial historian. Zheng Shihai gritted his teeth and said.
After getting Zheng Shihai's nod, Zheng Sicheng handed over the address of Wu Yong's current mansion, Zheng Shihai rested for a while, and went to visit Wu Yong that night.
After reporting his name at the gate of Wu's mansion, a family member soon came out and invited Zheng Shihai in. Zheng Shihai followed the family into Wu Yong's mansion, and as soon as he walked through the courtyard, he saw Wu Yong standing at the door of the living room to greet him.
As soon as he saw Zheng Shihai appear in his sight, Wu Yong hurriedly walked down the steps and arched his hand: "Lord Zheng." I heard that you were coming over a few days ago, and I thought that I would wait for you to arrive to visit you, but I have been idle, rude, rude. “
Zheng Shihai responded politely. While looking Wu Yong up and down, he still looked like a scholar in the past, but his gestures were very different from the past, and the officialdom training over the years had made this former teacher become more sophisticated.
"Lord Wu, where are you talking about this, in front of you, the old man still has to call himself a lower official, he must be a lower official to visit you. Zheng Shihai bowed down and said, "It's just that the lower officials are also busy these days, as you know, this time I mainly came to the Senate to discuss the matter of moving to Kuan Township, and I was only free today, so I hurriedly came to visit the adults. “
Wu Yong laughed and said: "The boss is still as approachable as ever, always put official affairs first, and take the court to heart." “
Zheng Shihai said humbly: "Lord Wu, don't make fun of the lower officials, you and the lower officials are fellow villagers, and you know the lower officials best, I have no other skills, but I will only honestly follow the orders of the imperial court." It is precisely because of this that he is often deceived by others, just like what happened to adults in Penn County before. Originally, I also wanted you to enter the yamen and make full use of your knowledge to serve the people, but I didn't expect Feng Youchuan to hide from me to make things difficult for you, and the lower officials were also very angry when they heard about it. “
Wu Yong sneered in his heart and thought: "Back then, you and Feng Youchuan sang one with a white face and the other with a red face, and played the king of Rui around. If it weren't for King Rui's rescue, I would have been arrested and put to death by you for a reason, but now it's better to push everything to Feng Youchuan. “
Thinking like this, he said: "Yes, Wu Yong has long forgotten about this matter." Zheng Shihai flattered: "My lord, I am a noble person who forgets things a lot, and I don't care about the officials." “
After chatting for a while, Wu Yong asked tentatively, "Is Lord Zheng's trip just to catch up with this official?"
Zheng Shihai said with a smile: "You and I are fellow villagers, adults often come forward for the people to avenge the people's grievances in Binxian County, and as a gentleman, he has taught and educated people in Binxian County, although the adults have left for many years, there are still many students who miss you in Binxian County." Xiaguan's trip is not only to catch up with the adults, but also to represent the people of Bin County and the students of the adults to visit the adults. Adults are busy with official business, but please don't forget your hometown and your students. “
Wu Yong replied: "Lord Zheng is really good at talking, but you don't have something to look for me, but I still have something to find you." After speaking, Wu Yong took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zheng Shihai and said: "Over the years, Lord Zheng has done his best for the court and served the people wholeheartedly. “
Zheng Shihai unfolded the paper in surprise and looked at it, it turned out to be a praise table, which listed Zheng Shihai's political achievements in Yuanzhou for the benefit of the people, and at the same time there were one or two thousand people's handprints, and these people asked the imperial court to promote Zheng Shihai's official position.
This praise table was handed over by Tong Zhangyi when he came to Nanyang City last month, Wu Yong was very surprised when he saw this praise table, he knew Zheng Shihai's bad deeds, and he didn't expect the people to ask for officials for him. Tong Zhangyi said with a wry smile that the people of Yuanzhou all know that Zheng Shihai is a corrupt official. But Zheng Shihai is cunning, and he can't grasp the handle at all, and he can't find evidence, so he has to come up with this method, ask for an official for him, and hope that he will leave Yuanzhou as soon as possible, so that the people of Yuanzhou can get out of the dire life as soon as possible.
Zheng Sicheng asked confusedly: "I didn't see anything coming out of my father's house, and I didn't say anything to flatter him." “
Zheng Shihai glanced at his son and said: "You still have to go through the training, this teacher generally cares more about his students, so he told his father that Yuanzhou is full of his peaches and plums." What teacher don't like to hear that and don't want to see their students make a difference? That's what he's thinking about, and that's what he's proud of. “
Zheng Sicheng suddenly realized: "Father is really tall! Before, the child was still thinking about how to find some elegant treasures for this old scholar." “
Back at the residence, Zheng Shihai was about to go inside, when a family member greeted him and said, "Master." There are guests visiting. “
Zheng Sicheng took the name card handed over by the family and said, "Who is it so late?" When he saw the name on the name card, Zheng Sicheng said with a panicked face: "Father, this is the second key person we are going to visit." “
Zheng Shihai took the name card and looked at it, his face darkened, he also knew this person, Li Beiguang. King Gong's henchman, who followed King Gong in the early years to make meritorious contributions, was the deputy general of the Blade Army in Nanyang City a few years ago.
Originally, Zheng Shihai also wanted to climb up through Li Beiguang's road, but this person only recognized money, and he had sent a lot of things to Li Beiguang over the years. But I haven't seen anything in return.
Zheng Shihai turned his head and said to his son: "The second key person you mentioned is him? We have given him a lot over the years, and he doesn't even have a fart, if I knew that the second person was him, I wouldn't have gone to his house, and why did he come here in the middle of the night?"
Zheng Sicheng said: "Father, don't underestimate him, he has been calling for wind and rain under King Gong all these years, don't look at the face of the deputy general of the Blade Army, I heard that many people recommended by King Gong are to be screened by him, but the child really doesn't know what he is doing on this big night, no matter how many gifts he gives on weekdays, he doesn't see much people, why did he come today." “
Zheng Shihai sighed and said, "Everyone has come to see him, anyway, I have to beg him again." With that, he walked inside with a smile on his face.
"It's been a long wait, it's been a long wait, it's been a long wait, so General Li has been waiting for a long time. As soon as Zheng Shihai stepped into the room, he shouted, "The lower official has not entered Nanyang City for many years, and went to visit his old friend, I don't know that the general's visit has made the general wait for a long time, and I ask the general to forgive me." “
Li Beiguang turned around and said, "Don't get in the way, General Ben and Lord Zheng are also old friends, just don't blame me for bothering me late at night." “
"Where, where I don't know what happened to the general's visit late at night. Zheng Shihai asked.
"It's not a big deal, but I heard that Yuanzhou, which is managed by adults, is a typical narrow township and is listed as a key area in Qiankuan Township, so I have come to mention that my lordship is leading by His Royal Highness King Gong, and it is extremely important. If it becomes His Royal Highness, it will not be far from the position of the prince, and my lord will have to do it well, I heard that Lord Zheng wants to retire in this Nanyang city? If this matter is done beautifully, it is easy for your lord to be careful and satisfied. Li Beiguang said.
Zheng Shihai didn't expect Li Beiguang to take the initiative to lead the topic to himself, and promised that he immediately said with a spring breeze on his face: "I have long heard that General Li can fight for King Gong externally, and he can give advice to King Gong internally, and he is the right-hand man that His Royal Highness King Gong can't do without. “
Saying that, Zheng Shihai gave his son a look, Zheng Sicheng hurriedly returned to the house and took out a land deed and handed it to Zheng Shihai. Zheng Shihai glanced at it and presented the title deed to Li Beiguang: "General Li, I have wanted to visit you for a few days, and I have not been available. “
Li Beiguang stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, didn't even look at the title deed, and asked casually, "What is this?" “
"I heard that General Li was brave and extraordinary. Good at riding and hunting, this is a wasteland on the border of Yuanzhou, no one cultivates, there are a lot of wild things, it is very suitable for hunting, the lower official bought this land, the general on the land deed can write the name of a slave casually, and the general can go hunting after the autumn. Zheng Shihai took the title deed and said with low eyebrows.
Li Beiguang took the title deed, looked at it several times, and said with a smile: "Yo, my lord is really careful." I didn't bring anything for the adults when I came, but the adults prepared gifts for me, which is really embarrassing. Then he handed the title deed to Li Si, the entourage behind him.
"So be it. Li Beiguang continued, "Your Excellency and His Royal Highness have been discussing official affairs for the past few days, and General Ben and His Royal Highness King Gong have a banquet in the Fengxuan Tower in the city the day after tomorrow, so you can come over with you." “
Zheng Shihai said with a spirit when he heard it: "Thank you for the general's recommendation, thank you for the general's recommendation, the officials of the world will definitely go to the banquet on time." “
After some greetings, Li Beiguang was about to say goodbye, and Zheng Shihai sent his son Zheng Sicheng to send Li Beiguang back to his home in person. As soon as Li Beiguang got into the carriage, he was shocked by the things in the carriage.
"Lord Zheng, what do you mean by this? Li Beiguang pointed to the car full of antiques and said.
"Father said, the first time to meet King Gong is not good to go bare-handed, these are filial piety to His Royal Highness King Gong, there is a share of His Royal Highness, there is a share of the general, and I also ask the general to express his father's sincerity to His Royal Highness. Zheng Sicheng said.
