Chapter 1176: My Traveler Grandson is a Little Stupid (14)
After being so busy for nearly half a month, they were completely ready.
And officially began to rush to the capital on the road.
Because there is the boss Wen Junsi.
So their family is on the official road.
In addition, there are also guards with family members or something, so this time there is no special hire of people from the dart bureau, although there are some bumps along the way, but it is safe, and there are post stations every other distance to rest, so it is not difficult, compared to ordinary people to rush is much better.
Ordinary people who are not qualified to go on the official road.
Not only is the road not easy to walk, but also need to beware of roadblocks or mountain bandits, and there is no post station on the way, it is rare to meet an inn storefront, and I don't know if it is a black shop.
In short, there is no experienced one to lead the way.
It is dangerous for ordinary people to go far away.
Even if they have encountered one or two groups of refugees on the road, but those refugees do not dare to go to the official road at all, so their family really went all the way to the vicinity of the capital.
I took a temporary break at a post station closest to the capital, ready to take a rest, and entered the capital full of energy to do other things.
Then the family saw that a soldier had killed a horse, and when he came to the inn where they were staying, he asked for a horse, and then hurried away again.
"Hey, it's eight hundred miles expedited.
Looks like something happened. ”
As soon as the soldier left, the post man who was in charge of seeing him off at the post station sighed with emotion, and the other people around him who saw it also started to talk about it.
"I'm afraid something really happened to the Southern District Government.
I just don't know the size of the matter.
Mother, fortunately, I didn't let you go back to your hometown, even if there is no rebellion in your hometown now, I'm afraid you will be a little scared, and you may encounter danger at any time, so let's not continue to rest here, let's hurry into the capital.
I am afraid that this debriefing will not go very smoothly.
There may even be some and so on.
Therefore, there is no need to rest here, there is time to rest after entering Beijing, and it is estimated that it is impossible to summon us, the petty officials of the seventh grade, to report on their work without waiting for the affairs of the Southern District Government to be completed. ”
By observing the soldier's accent and some other accessories on his body except for standard clothes, Wen Junsi could easily guess that the soldier was most likely from the Southern District Mansion.
At the same time, he immediately understood that there was an accident in the southern district government, and it was something that could not be controlled, if it could be controlled, it would be impossible for the governor in the past to send troops for 800 miles to ask for help.
Because of this plea for help, it means that not only did he not take credit for his past this time, but he may even be belittled, if it is not really impossible to control the situation, which official will do this?
If there is such a big matter, I am afraid that the entire court will be busy dealing with this matter, even the officials have no time to take care of the debriefing of such a seven-grade petty official, so naturally there is no need to rest here, before the situation on the side of the southern district government is not completely stabilized, it would be good for him to be able to deal with the debriefing before the New Year.
As for promotions or something.
Then we have to wait for the debriefing.
Even he was a little suspicious, and it was very likely that he would be arranged to go to the Southern District Government to be a general judge.
Because the officials from the prefect to the general judgment on the side of the southern district government will definitely be removed from their posts and investigated, and the position is just vacant, and then there is a lot of waste over there, and it is definitely impossible for those who want to gild to run over there, and if they don't let these officials with no background fill in, who will they find to fill in the official position?
In just a moment, Wen Junsi had already thought of a lot of content, and even guessed about his future promotion.
You can see how shrewd it is.
It's a pity that this brain is not an official.
"Well, then I won't rest here.
Let's hurry to Beijing.
Fortunately, I have already delivered the news to the housekeeper in the capital in advance, and now the yard should be cleaned up, and the old family should hurry up and clean up, and try to enter the capital before dark. ”
If you don't rest here for a while, it doesn't matter to Qiao Mu at all, it's good to go to Beijing early to settle down, anyway, you have to go sooner or later, settle down a day earlier, and worry about it a day earlier.
Qiao Mu and the only official in their family all agreed, and the others naturally did not refuse, and everyone quickly moved the things they had moved down yesterday back to the car, and set off again less than an hour later.
Two hours later, when the sky was about to get dark, their family finally rushed in front of the gate of the capital, and did not dare to rest at all and went straight to their house more than ten years ago, for the two sons to enter the Beijing imperial examination, specially bought the small courtyard in Xicheng District.
This side of the capital has always been rich in the east and rich in the west, poor in the south and cheap in the north, and the east is basically an official and noble, without a certain status, even if there is no money, it can't buy a yard over there, when their family bought a yard, there were only two people in the family, so they could only spend a huge amount of money to buy a small courtyard of three sizes in Nancheng District.
As for why go in such a hurry.
Mainly because there is a curfew in the capital, and the city gate is far away from the courtyard they bought at the time, if you don't want to be discovered and interrogated by the forbidden army patrolling at night, it is naturally better to hurry up and go back to your yard early.
They went home and rested.
The palace was still bustling.
The soldiers of the eight-hundred-mile rush had already delivered the news to the palace two hours earlier.
The six Shangshu and all the official capitals above the third rank also gathered at the side of the imperial hall an hour and a half ago and began to discuss the matter.
But an hour and a half passed.
There is still not much progress.
Because there are so many questions.
There was a rebellion of displaced people in Nanhui Mansion, and the gathering of a million troops was definitely not a trivial matter, but the officials in the court did not think that those displaced people could have much ability, so they quarreled for a long time at the beginning about whether to continue to provide disaster relief and pacification, or directly send soldiers to suppress it?
This involves being benevolent to the monarch.
After all, no matter what, those displaced people can be regarded as official coercion and rebellion, and they will not survive.
That's when they rebelled.
Therefore, a large number of officials who have always implemented the spirit of Confucian benevolence and righteousness hope to continue to provide disaster relief and pacification, and are unwilling to use troops at will.
However, there are still some officials who generally believe that disaster relief is useless, and they must be suppressed first, and then disaster relief, these officials have the support of a large number of military generals, and they do not fight in this peaceful year, where do they look for credit and promotion, and now they have the opportunity to naturally not let go.
Besides, the homeless people are very easy to deal with.
As long as they lead the army away.
The credit is definitely low-hanging fruit.
They had been arguing for nearly an hour.
Finally, the results are coming out.
As a result, he was directly scolded back by the head of the household department with no money and no food, which made it even more difficult.
There is no way to do it, the silver grain of the household has always been relatively tight, and now it is just the time to harvest the autumn endowment, and when the autumn endowment has not been collected, the treasury is almost empty.
The rats will cry twice when they go in.
How can they have money and bread for them to help their troubles?
As for sending troops to quell the rebellion, those who serve as soldiers also have to eat, so they can't be left hungry, and there is no way to supply this part.
Therefore, on this big night, all the Beijing officials above the third grade can only worry about silver and grain in the palace and the emperor.
This penny can not only stump the hero.
It can also stump the Manchu civil and military.
