Sichuan Governor Fei Hong basically went on the road after the third year of junior high school.

Shu Dao was difficult, and he had to set off long in advance, so that he could arrive in Beijing before the Great Dynasty Meeting.

In addition to him, in his ranks, there are three special people.

Of these, two were tied up and thrown in the prison car, while the other was normal.

In October last year, the Jingshi Attendant Office came to the decree, asking him to elaborate on the virtues and ways of government of Li Danhua, the prefect of Jiading Prefecture, Liu Fu, the prefect of Shunqing Prefecture, and Fu Maoxing, the prefect of Xuzhou Prefecture.

This is the first time this kind of will has been made. But what came from the chamber must have been ordered by the emperor himself.

And he also knows the rules of the attendant's room, if he doesn't reply for a long time, he will definitely place a supervision order to urge it, and the number of times he has been ordered is too much, and the basic official will come to an end.

So he did it himself.

But I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, this Jiading Governor Li Danhua and Shunqing Governor Liu Fu are flattering and sycophant, and they are oppressive and enslaved, and their life style is even more poor and extravagant, and they are extremely pompous.

This matter is not a trivial matter.

And why did the emperor, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly want to check these two people? Could it be that the emperor already knew?

But he, the governor of Sichuan, didn't know!

And he himself hated such an official very much.

So no matter from which point of view, Li Danhua and Liu Fu must be caught!

If you want to talk about their relationship in Beijing, Fei Hong is not afraid!

Fei Hong, the word is full, Chenghua 23 years Ding Wei Ke Hall test gold list first class, first place Jinshi and first!

But then again, it's not something to be afraid of, it's mainly a little embarrassing.

The emperor picked three people out to ask him, but the two prefects were corrupt officials, and the other Fu Maoxing was actually embarrassed to be useful, so he was mediocre, and he was only familiar with his boss, what did this kind of person have to say?

So the question is, how to write this letter?

The three prefects turned out to be nothing good, and there was no need for him to lie for these people.

Fortunately, in the end, his wife Pu reminded him.

Yibin County Gu Renyi, upright and unyielding, honest and honest, dare to resist for the people, although it is only Qipin Zhi County, but good officials are hard to meet, as a governor, even the emperor does not mention this stubble, but also for the court to raise the virtuous.

Fei Hong thought about it very reasonably, so he waited for this person at the end of the song.

I didn't expect the effect to be very good, and the instructions in the palace: Good, bring it to Beijing.

It was only at this time that Fei Hong understood the meaning of the emperor's actions.

Not to investigate these people, but to select the best.

This Gu Renyi is good luck.

It's a pity that his luck is average, this year Sichuan suffered floods in the flood season, and drought in the autumn and winter, it can be said that drought and flood are both serious, and there is a famine in the four prefectures.

Sichuan is far away from Beijing, and it is difficult to respond in a timely manner, whether it is to allocate silver or transfer grain into Sichuan.

Therefore, this year, Sichuan not only has its taxes and grain been sharply reduced, but tens of thousands of people have died of starvation under the famine.

He, the chief official who patrols Sichuan, will become responsible even if he is not responsible.

Do you want the emperor and the court to be responsible?

In this case, he will not move his seat again.

Even if it is a natural disaster, it is unreasonable to starve all over the wilderness on the one hand, and prosper on the other hand.

Gu Renyi also came to the fore in this situation, the disaster in Yibin County was not light, but this person opened a warehouse in time to release grain, and mobilized large households in the county to donate, which finally saved the lives of many people.

The 'fighting for the people' mentioned in the song is that he made a big fuss with the prefect in court for the issue of deducting some relief food.

The 50,000 stones promised above, he was not satisfied with giving him 40,000 stones.

Therefore, it became famous for a while.

After more than two months of traveling, their group finally arrived in the territory of Shuntianfu.

In February, the north is still full of dead trees, and most rivers can still see a thin layer of ice in the early morning.

The weather is bitter and cold, and it is not easy for the people, and next to the official road, from time to time, some homeless people will be seen begging along the road.

Such a scene was not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty.

However, every time I see it, it still makes people feel heavy.

Among them was an old farmer, ragged, his hair was scattered, and for some reason, he was carrying a doll in a bamboo basket, and it was cold, and the doll was so cold that his face was sore, and he kept crying.

"There are natural disasters in Sichuan, but I don't know why Beizhili is."

Gu Renyi in the team suddenly said this, and then he actually put down the shelf of the reader, ran to the prisoner car at the back of the team, and shouted, "Someone! Strip these two of them off their clothes! ”

Li Danhua and Liu Fu were smart, and cold sweat began to break out in the winter, "Gu Renyi!" You're crazy, what are you going to do? ”

"You're crazy! The baby doll has no clothes to keep warm, but you two corrupt officials are wrapped tightly! ”

"Don't be generous to others, you look at the righteous Ling Ran, aren't you also wearing cotton clothes and pants?"

Gu Renyi was stunned, "Okay, then we won't wear it." You two, go and take off theirs, and the official will take off his clothes himself! ”

Fei Hong, who was in front, lifted the curtain of the carriage, only glanced back, and said nothing.

It's like a tacit approval.

And this Gu Renyi was really like a madman, so he took off his cotton clothes, and handed them to the old farmer on the side of the road with Li and Liu, causing the two people to immediately curl up in the cold and scold.

Gu Renyi had already gone to the side of the road, "Old man, it's cold, let's put it on for your grandson." ”

This scene does not make the real benevolent people feel a sense of achievement, but only feel that the world is difficult and the people's livelihood suffers.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

The old man kowtowed to Gu Renyi, and the kowtow was sad.

It's a pity that Gu Renyi sent a lot of food along the way, which made him a little hungry at this time. There was no dry food in his arms.

"Old man, where are you going this winter?"

The old man said, "Go to Jingshi." ”

"Defecting?"

"No, I heard from the people in the village that I want to earn some wages in the place where Jingshi works."

"Yes...... How to set off at this time? ”

At this time, one or two men followed behind, and when they came here, they were also a little breathless, and they squatted down and said, "If you run out of food, if you don't go to work, you will starve to death." ”

Gu Renyi sighed, "There are still a hundred and ten miles away from Jingshi here, you ......"

"Official...... Presumably it is also a team entering Beijing. Recently, there have been a lot of people coming to Beijing from all over the country, so we will go over while asking for food anyway, and then we will talk about it when we get to Beijing. ”

The old man silently put on his grandson's clothes again, the clothes were very large, just warmer in a circle, and because of this, the little doll stopped crying.

Gu Renyi didn't expect that this man still knew some things about the imperial court, so he said: "Today, the saint loves the people like a son, and the people and pastors in Hebei are gradually canceling...... You, if you persevere, it will definitely be better in the future. ”

"The pastoral work in Zhuo County was canceled last year." The old man said quickly.

Gu Renyi was taken aback, "Then why can you only beg?" ”

"If the people and herdsmen are abolished, the court will recycle the horses, and the horses raised by the little old man are not qualified, so they can only be fined, and the original few acres of thin fields can only be sold."

If Gu Renyi was still a jinshi who had just left Beijing, he probably wouldn't be able to hear the connotation.

But he has been a county magistrate for six years.

What does it mean to be unqualified?

What does it mean to be qualified?

There's a lot more room to maneuver in here.

But thinking about it like this, Gu Renyi was quite shocked in her heart, and turned her head to ask the others, "You ...... Do you too? ”

The crowd was silent.

……

……

"Zhongcheng, my subordinates want to enter Beijing later."

In a pavilion, Gu Renyi knelt in front of Fei Hong, who was sitting upright.

Fei Hong ate very hard dry food, just water, and hurried continuously, in fact, his complexion was not very good, "Yishan (Gu Renyi), why are you an official?" ”

"Naturally, he is the master of the king, and the next is An Lishu."

"Do you want to be promoted?"

"It doesn't matter if you believe it, or if you don't believe it. Xiaguan has been a county magistrate for six years, and he has never thought about being promoted. ”

Fei Hong sighed, "You should think." If you want to do more for the people, think about it. Back then, when His Majesty was still the crown prince, he encouraged the officials of the East Palace to hone their skills so that they could sit in a higher position. You are a small Qipinzhi County, even if you break your leg and say something, how many people can you save? People in Beijing often say that if you want to seek an official, you must first seek a career. This sentence is not unreasonable, it depends on how you interpret it. ”

Gu Renyi kowtowed, "Xiaguan naturally understands the meaning of Zhongcheng's mention. But seven years ago, Xiaguan went to Beijing to catch the exam, and six years ago, Xiaguan traveled to take up his post, when the land of Gyeonggi had already implemented the policy of changing herding to agriculture and returning the people to the fields. Xia Guan is really puzzled, if he doesn't solve this doubt, even if the Son of Heaven in the Jinluan Palace asks in person, Xia Guan can only support him, and he doesn't know how to answer, and at that time it will be the same loss of Zhongcheng's face. ”

Fei Hong glanced at this middle-aged official with a little meaning.

“…… Then when you go, don't wear official clothes, and bring two people. When I arrived in Beijing, I went to the Cultivation Lane to find the official. Also, don't delay too long, be sure to enter Beijing before March. ”

Gu Renyi was overjoyed, "Thank you, Zhongcheng!" ”

Fei Hong actually had something to say, and he stood up, his hands facing away from him.

It was a long time before he suddenly turned around, and his eyes had become extremely serious.

"The affairs of Shuntianfu, you can ask, you can watch, and even play, the March Dynasty will be Your Majesty asking the world. But this is Gyeonggi, and the relationship between Gyeonggi is intertwined, and many people and things are not just as simple as Li Danhua and Liu Fu, two corrupt officials, and sometimes even involve the palace.

You are fighting in Sichuan, in the final analysis, it is the governor of this official who is carrying it for you. But when you arrive in Jingshi, you, the seventh grade, are too small, and the governor of this official is too small, if it is still the same as before, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect you. But having said that, the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, and the words of a petty official of the seventh grade, the Son of Heaven believes it more, so it is impossible to say that it is very big, and you have to grasp the key points accurately. ”

Gu Renyi was upright, "The lower official only said what the lower official saw and believed." Since he is the Son of Heaven, he must be able to discern loyalty and treachery. ”

"That's not what I mean."

"What do you mean?"

Fei Hong helped him up, and he wanted to say something from the bottom of his heart, "Yishan, today is extremely talented, seeks to break the independence of the people, and has his own arrangements for doing things and sending officials, so this is not a question of whether you can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, this is a question of whether you disrupt Your Majesty's arrangement." Do you understand? ”

"That'...... Does Your Majesty know these things, or does he not know about them? Gu Renyi asked with a puzzled face.

But Fei Hong did not give an accurate answer.

However, the place of Jingshi has always been complicated, and not all questions have clear answers.

And the fate of man is to walk out of this uncertain fork in the road, out of a completely different landscape.

It's just that what Gu Renyi doesn't understand is what Zhongcheng is referring to in the land of Gyeonggi, which is intricately linked?
