Chapter 356: Changping Prefecture
There was no fanfare, no send-off, but on an ordinary morning, Wang Shouren packed his bags, did not sit in a sedan chair, did not take a car, wore a moon-white Confucian robe, and was appointed as the governor of Changping Prefecture.
Get on your horse, take a dozen retinues, and take up the goose. Appointed to Changping Prefecture.
went with Liu Jin.
Speaking of which, the word talent is really deceptive, Wang Shouren thought that he could be called a talent by his teacher, he must be both civil and military, wise and brave, and he was a great person.
But I didn't expect it to be a eunuch.
However, Wang Shouren has no objection, even if he doesn't believe in Liu Jin, he also believes in his own teacher.
Maybe it's really a talent.
What's more, the teacher once told this eunuch to do any dirty work, don't get your hands dirty.
When I think of this sentence in my mind, I feel warm in my heart.
Xia Yuan didn't come forward to send him off, he didn't like parting, and he had been sad to parting since ancient times, so he just stood on the Anding Gate in the north of Jingshi and watched, watching the back of the man riding on the horse.
After walking far away, the back was far away, Xia Yuan retracted his gaze and said the first sentence, "Your Highness, the weather is good today, what are we going to eat at noon?" ”
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "How about roasting a sheep?" ”
"It's good, but don't roast it in the East Palace, the minister doesn't want to see Lord Wang."
Since he knew that his son was going to supervise the change of the law, it was recommended by Xia Yuan, Wang Hua saw that his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes, in the face of such a face, Xia Yuan was really troubled.
——
Changping Prefecture is only more than 100 miles away from Beijing, and has jurisdiction over four counties of Miyun, Shunyi, Huairou and Changping.
Changping is not a big state, and each county under its jurisdiction is also very small, but it is still a state, because the geographical location of Changping is too important, and it has always been said that the pillow of the Beijing Division, and it is of unparalleled importance to the Ming Dynasty, which is the location of the imperial tomb.
Since Zhu Di moved the capital, all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been buried here.
In the evening, Wang Shouren and his entourage came to this place, Le Ma stopped, and the city tower of Changping County was already in sight.
Looking further along the line, there is a tall arrow tower, and then there is a huge city gate, which is still open before the curfew.
Wang Shouren turned his head and beckoned to Liu Jin, Liu Jin jumped down from the carriage, ran over, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, what do you command?" ”
"You go in with your retinue and these men of mine."
"Eh, we're here."
Saying that, Liu Jin realized that something was wrong, "Then Master Wang, you don't go in?" ”
"I won't go in, you take these people in, and when you get to the Yamen of Changping Zhizhou, if those people ask me where I went, you will say that you don't know, remember?"
"Our family remembers it, but."
Halfway through his words, Wang Shouren had already flicked his horsewhip and headed in the direction of the other side, and the sound of horses' hooves splashed the dust on the ground.
Liu Jin choked back before he finished speaking, and stood in place and looked at it stunned for a long time, not knowing what this was about.
Seeing that he was about to go to work, but he ran away, does this count as abandoning his official position and running away?
Liu Jin, who was stunned for a long time and couldn't figure it out, returned to the carriage and shouted to the coachman in front of him: "Still stunned, let our family enter the city!" ”
The coachman in front did not dare to delay, and hurriedly answered, and then flicked the horsewhip, and the carriage entered the city with about 20 retinues, and walked along the avenue in the city for about two moments, and then saw the gate of the Yamen of Changping Zhizhou.
Before the procession approached, a group of people in official uniforms greeted them, followed by errand officers with signs, which read: 'Changping Prefecture Zhizhou', 'Miyun Zhi County', 'Shunyi Zhi County', 'Huairou Zhi County', and other words such as 'Su Jing' and 'Idler Avoidance'.
All the officials of the entire state of Changping gathered here to welcome the newly arrived governor.
There is a Ming generation, or from Xuande onwards, the governor has almost become a permanent official position, those important provincial capitals basically have the governor's yamen, and the governor's authority is also very great, if it is the governor of a province, then in name, the power and responsibility are higher than all the officials in the province, if the wrist is stronger, can hold the real power of a province in their hands.
And all the officials in Changping worked hard to welcome the governor, and in terms of specifications, it was also said in the past.
It's just that Wang Shouren didn't make a big splash when he left, and it can even be said that he left quietly, and no one knows where they got the news, so they calculated that Wang Shouren would be there today.
In the face of this team of twenty or thirty people, a group of officials naturally rushed to the carriage, saluted respectfully around the carriage, and the leading Changping Zhizhou spoke: "Zheng Zonglun, the official of Changping Zhizhou, led a group of officials from the four counties of Changping to welcome Governor Wang, and Lord Wang went to his post!" ”
“.”
No response.
A group of officials waited patiently for a long time, and when they saw that they had not received an answer for a long time, they couldn't help but look at each other after all.
I have long heard that this Lord Wang is useless, but I didn't expect it to be so useless.
Do you think you can stop me from waiting for me?
There was mockery in everyone's hearts, and the leader of Changping Zhizhou took a deep breath and spoke again, his voice was more than several times higher than that of Fang Cai, and he shouted: "Zheng Zonglun, the lower official of Changping Zhizhou, led a group of officials from the four counties of Changping to welcome Governor Wang, and Lord Wang will take office!" ”
This time, after a short silence, a voice finally sounded in the carriage, a gloomy voice, "Our family understands it, and everyone is greeting Governor Wang, and our family, the eunuch who guards the town of Changping Prefecture, is actually not looked down upon." ”
With the sound sounding, the curtain was lifted, and Liu Jin's face was revealed from inside, followed by the upper body, and then two legs stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing a middle-aged eunuch come out of the carriage, the officials present were in an uproar for a moment, the eunuch guarding the town?
Why haven't we heard the slightest rumor about this?
Is it also for the sake of changing the law?
In fact, not only did they not hear the news, but even the ministers in the court did not know about it, after all, this was the appointment of a eunuch to guard the town, and they were the emperor's domestic slaves.
Liu Jin smiled cheekily, "Why, don't you welcome our eunuch?" ”
Hearing this, the officials present seemed to come back to their senses and hurriedly said: "Welcome, why not welcome?" The father-in-law can come here to serve as the eunuch of this town, and Changping Prefecture is really prosperous. ”
Treating eunuchs as a creature, all the officials looked down on them in their hearts, but no one dared to despise this group, and everyone was very eager.
After that, Zheng Zonglun paused, and then asked, "Father-in-law, I don't know Governor Wang."
"Look at it, you're looking at Governor Wang again, aren't you? It's been so long since our family got out of the car, and we haven't seen anyone invite us in. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Jin's voice suddenly increased, and he asked in a sharp voice: "Our family is here at the will of the emperor, do you look down on our family, or look down on the emperor!" ”
The atmosphere on the field was stagnant, Zheng Zonglun scolded this dead eunuch in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "What's the matter, father-in-law, please inside, I have already prepared a banquet, just waiting for you to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”
Liu Jin snorted coldly and walked into the door, and the rest of the officials followed.
No one is going to mention any more governors, so let's stabilize this eunuch first.
