Ji Qingling's prediction was soon confirmed, and the day before the Shangyuan Festival, the summoned envoys from the capital finally arrived in Ganzhou with the holy decree.

When Gu Yanzhang was informed and hurriedly walked into the lobby of the state government, there were already two people standing in it to greet the envoys with him.

One of them was Zhizhou Meng Ling.

As the brother-in-law of the three kings Zhao Hao, even though Gu Yanzhang has been an official with him for more than a year, and he has been a hand-in-hand, he has only seen a few faces.

The other person looked to be about sixty years old, with good facial features, medium stature, wearing a crimson official robe, with a silver fish bag around his waist that only important ministers above the rank of servant could wear, and a faint look of majesty on his face, but he didn't know who it was.

Gu Yanzhang walked into the lobby, and the people inside turned their heads together.

"This is Gu Tong's judgment." Meng Ling pointed at Gu Yanzhang and said to the summoned envoy.

He also introduced the angel to Gu Yanzhang and said, "This is Xu Jizong Xu Duzhi." ”

Gu Yanzhang saw that the man was wearing a soft-footed head and a scarlet robe, dressed as a eunuch.

The eunuchs of the Great Jin Dynasty can not only bear the burden of horses, but also be sent as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and they can also change their military ranks and join the army to lead the troops.

In fact, more than 20 years ago, when the Western thieves invaded, a eunuch named Qin Shunju led the army to resist, although he was less than 50 years old, he led more than 40 large and small battles, and finally died on the battlefield.

During the 100 years of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were not many famous chamberlains. The chamberlains who can get ahead in the palace are generally in the palace since childhood, and they are both literate and martial, and they are not much worse than the scholar class.

And because of the natural closeness between eunuchs and the Son of Heaven, they are more likely to be trusted than ordinary courtiers, because once they have the opportunity to go out as officials, many of them can make some political achievements.

Gu Yanzhang did not have the same dislike for eunuchs as ordinary officials, and when Ji Qingling was in Jixian County, whenever he talked to him about his inner servants, he discussed his actions and achievements, and did not focus on the mutilated body. He was preconceived, even if he later entered Beijing and found that many literati and officials around him had a contemptuous attitude towards eunuchs, he did not change because of this.

At this moment, he was recommended by Meng Ling, and he only skipped it in his heart, and immediately matched the person.

It was Xu Jizong, who was promoted to the inner service class by the west head worship officer, and then moved to the deputy capital.

So he came forward and saluted.

The other party returned the salute unhurriedly and praised it casually.

"This is Zhang Zhizhang Sheren." Meng Ling pointed to another strange man in his sixties, and introduced, his tone was several times more enthusiastic than just a few times, and a smile appeared on his face.

Gu Yanzhang stepped forward to salute in response.

However, Meng Ling couldn't speak clearly, and Gu Yanzhang didn't understand for a while which word "treat" this surname Zhang was, and the so-called sheren was one of the Tongshi sheren, the pavilion door sheren, and the Zhongshu sheren.

He thought about it, glanced at Xu Jizong next to him, and found that the other party looked at this person with a flattering smile on his face.

Gu Yanzhang's mind turned, and he immediately understood.

can call a high-ranking chamberlain in the palace, and a brother-in-law of the three kings so flattering, this should be the one who treats him.

Empress Dowager Zhang's uncle.

The people of the cabinet in the middle of the court.

But what is he doing here?

Before Gu Yanzhang could make a fuss, Xu Jizong had already coughed lightly twice and stretched out his hand to the side.

A small yellow door standing at the back immediately came over with a lacquer plate in his hand.

The lacquer plate is covered with a silk of a clear huáng sè, and when the silk is uncovered, two volumes of holy decrees are placed on it.

The order of the summons often depends on the official rank, Zhang Jizong took the holy decree, walked away two steps, unfolded the scroll in hand, and said: "Meng Ling listens to the edict." ”

Meng Ling immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

Zhang Jizong solemnly read the edict.

The edict affirmed Meng Ling's official experience in Ganzhou, announced his return to Beijing, and stated that Zhang Zhi would take over the post of governor of Ganzhou.

Gu Yanzhang stood aside and listened, and gradually figured out the taste in his heart.

The Son of Heaven really values the benefits of the ash worm, but because of Meng Ling's identity and ability, he is not worried that Meng Ling is here, nor is he worried that he will easily come over and take over alone, so he simply sent the Queen Mother's uncle over to sit in town.

Naturally, if the ash worm can really make a great contribution, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, to the brother-in-law of his younger brother, Zhao Rui is naturally more willing to give it to his mother's uncle.

Meng Ling seemed to have expected such a thing, he received the will and stood aside.

Soon, it was Gu Yanzhang's turn to take the order.

This time, Zhang Jizong recited a piece of praise for the four and sixth, and recognized the ash worm that was offered by Gu Yanzhang and found in Ganzhou.

This is not an outrageous promotion, that is, there is no ash worm, seeing that the merit test at the end of the year, Gu Yanzhang can also be promoted by relying on his political achievements in the previous year, because he was not much surprised, but stepped forward with a calm face to receive the order and thank you.

After the decree was promulgated, in order to wash the dust for Zhang Zhi and Xu Jizong, Meng Ling summoned people to set up a banquet in the lobby.

However, Xu Jizong resigned, and said: "Jizong is still responsible for the emperor's errand, one is to inspect the ash insects and trees, and the other is to take a look at the passers-by here." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Gu Yanzhang and said, "Please ask Gu Tongju to lead the way." ”

Zhang Zhi also said: "That is the case, Zhang Zhi is fortunate to have a look." ”

The mountain that keeps ash insects is outside the city of Ganzhou, and now most of the ash has been collected, originally Ji Qingling asked Li Jin to leave a few trees, just in case the Son of Heaven wants to send someone to inspect, but this ash flower for some reason, left on the tree, after less than a month, it will all melt, and it will not be able to see the original appearance, only dirty and white pasted on the trunk and branches.

Gu Yanzhang did not shirk, and took an angel, the uncle of the Queen Mother, the newly appointed governor of Ganzhou, and an old governor who had served as an official in this place for several years, but even a few people in the state did not know much about it, and went to the outer city.

The privet tree and the ash worm saw very quickly, it was only spring at this time, and the ash worm was not put on the tree, but the house that Li Jin and his wife cared for was full of ash worm seeds.

Xu Jizong asked many questions, and recorded them one by one with the small yellow door behind him, preparing to return to Beijing so that he could communicate with the emperor.

After seeing the ash worms, I went to visit the homeless.

Xu Jizong rode on the horse, turned his head and said to Gu Yanzhang: "Now the displaced people of the Daimyo Mansion have arrived in the capital, there are 100,000 of them, and the Kyoto Prefecture is busy appeasing the displaced people and providing relief to the victims, Your Majesty is worried about the drought and locust plague in Fuzhou, Jizhou and other places, so he asked the officials to look at the situation along the way, and now they have come to Ganzhou, which is the transit place to Jianzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, and I can estimate how many displaced people there are. ”

Before Gu Yanzhang could speak, Meng Ling on the side had already interjected: "If you want to ask about the number of displaced people, you really have to come here to know, now there is a camp outside the city, and you can see it at a glance." ”
