Chapter 137: The decree descends to the palace, and the saint recommends himself
In February, the capital has added a bit of spring. Wangfu, although the house of the champion family is not noble, it is a standard three-entry house, and the willow tree on the edge of the small pond in the backyard spits out new shoots.
Wang Hua is already a middle-aged man over forty years old, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face with Chinese characters, and an image of a middle-aged genius in the south of the Yangtze River.
is different from those romantic talents, Wang Hua is indeed a clean and upright gentleman. It is said that when Wang Hua was young, he lived in a rich man's house, and the rich man had no children.
One night, the rich man asked his concubine to commit adultery with Wang Hua and ask for a son, and the concubine took out a note and said: This is the master's intention.
The paper reads: "I want to be planted in the world", but ...... Wang Hua was never moved. Wang Hua's teaching period in Qiyang expired, bid farewell to Qiyang literary friends and prepared to go home to participate in the township examination, Qiyang's students set up a banquet for him, placed Wang Hua in the river pavilion to rest and gave two prostitutes, Wang Hua dismantled a door panel and returned across the water.
Although Wang Hua has the ability to be romantic, he has always been able to restrain his desires, which is probably the reason why he was finally able to accumulate in the imperial examination.
Resting at home today, Wang Hua, who was wearing Cheng Zi's clothes at home, already looked slightly blessed, and was sitting in the pavilion enjoying the faint spring in the garden.
Although the scenery of the royal street on West Chang'an Street was infinite back then, that glory was already a thing of the past, and now no one cares about it in the position of Hanlin Cultivation.
Although Hanlin Xiu is noble, he has no real power at all, and although he can win the respect of other officials, he can't exchange it for other people's money and knees.
Whenever I take a break at home, some people will come to visit me in the first few years, but in the last two years, few people will take the initiative to visit.
Hanlin officials weigh one
The word "boil", if you can survive it, you will enter the cabinet to worship the infinite scenery, but if you can't survive, you still spend this life in vain.
Wang Hua was still an unambitious talent at the age of thirty-four, but now that he can become a noble Hanlin official, he naturally will not have too much dissatisfaction with life.
It's just that people's desires are endless after all, compared with Yang Ting and the kind of young and ambitious Hanlin officials, he was indeed too backward when he entered the Hanlin Academy at the age of thirty-five.
Yesterday, when the emperor summoned him and proposed that he want to be the governor of Nangan, he almost didn't even think about it, and decided to follow the arrangement of the Son of Heaven.
With his political wisdom, he naturally knows that this is actually a political gamble. If you perform well when you arrive, with a style of clear rewards and punishments like today, you will naturally have to be rewarded by yourself, which is far stronger than your qualifications in the Hanlin Academy.
If he is unsatisfactory in his tenure as governor of Southern Jiangxi, although he may not be dismissed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the sequence of ministers, and he will not have the opportunity to enter the cabinet to pay respects in the future.
Wang Hua considered his shortcomings in the age of the Hanlin Academy, and he really wanted to do something practical in his prime, so he did not regret this choice.
However, he is a responsible person, and now he chooses to take over this burden, and he is most worried about how to be the governor of Nanjiang and how to do it
"Arrest thieves, appease displaced people, and maintain local law and order."
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Wang Shouren hurriedly walked over, with beads of sweat on his forehead. This famous Wang Sage is seventeen this year, and he is still an unmarried teenager, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his appearance is seven points similar to Wang Hua.
Because he was very active since he was a child, he once wanted to become a general, which made his body appear relatively strong, and he was resolutely a sunny boy.
When Wang Hua saw his son who was covered in sweat, he couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "What did you do just now?" Why are you sweating all over? ”
"I just practiced archery in the garden? Dad, do you want to try it with the child, now the child's archery skills have improved greatly! "Wang Shouren is a strong character, even if he is provocative.
Although Wang Hua personally taught his son archery back then, he had not practiced archery for more than half a year, so he said with his strengths and weaknesses: "Although the gentleman's archery art cannot be abolished, this dynasty emphasizes Confucianism and poetry, and my father will test your couplets today!" ”
"Dad, please come out of the upper link!" Wang Shouren took the sweat towel handed by the servant and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the sweat towel.
Wang Hua glanced at the spring in the garden, and then said: "A year of spring and long spring hair!" "This couplet is an inlay couplet,
In "Spring Changchun", the word order is reversed, with the span of spring in front and the latter
"Changchun" is a flower name that will
The "periwinkle" flower is embedded in it. I have to say that this is a very difficult couplet, and it is indeed not easy to find the next couplet for a while.
Wang Hua knows that his eldest son has been very smart since he was a child, so he has always been sharp, so he has always wanted to find an opportunity to sharpen his son's sharpness.
If I had given up the idea of being unconventional earlier, I am afraid that I would have already been in high school with my own talents, and I would not have had to be admitted until I was thirty-four years old to wake up.
The housekeeper brought the tea, and he glanced at his young master worriedly. Wang Shouren sat down at the stone table, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup that had just been delivered, pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea lightly, while seriously thinking about this couplet.
"This uplink is indeed a bit tricky, as a father, I will give you three days!" Wang Hua saw his son's troubled appearance, so he happily excused himself.
Not to mention that his son is only seventeen years old, even if he is the champion, if he really wants to find a subtle link, I am afraid it will take half a day younger.
"May summer half and half summer!" Wang Shouren took a sip of tea, and his eyes lit up. Yes?
When Wang Hua heard the next link given by his son, he stopped the teacup that had just been brought to his mouth, and looked at his son in disbelief.
"Dad, my downlink is quite neat?" Wang Shouren put down the teacup and asked with joy.
This lower link is also an embedded couplet,
In "Xia Ban Ban Xia", the word order is reversed, with the position of summer in front and the position of summer in the latter
"Banxia" is a Chinese herbal medicine that will
"Banxia" is embedded in it. With such talent and such a sharp mind, it is no wonder that Wang Shouren wants to claim to be a saint, and he is indeed above his peers.
"Yes, there is progress!" Wang Hua quickly came back to his senses, brought the tea cup to his lips and said slightly to hide his expression.
Wang Shouren was conceited, so he inquired curiously: "Dad, the child thought about it last night, but he still didn't understand what reason you had to be involved with the Ganzhou Mansion, please solve the child's doubts!" ”
"Hugh is going to mind your father's business!" Wang Hua has never liked to talk nonsense about things that have not been finalized, so he just picks up everyone's long shelf.
Although Wang Shouren is self-defeating and shocking, he can only helplessly accept the teasing of fate in the face of his father and honestly keep his mouth shut.
Even if he felt that he was even more powerful than this champion, but the other party was his father, a mountain that could never be stepped on.
"Master, there is a holy decree, there is a holy decree!" It was at this moment that a servant hurried in and reported. Divine decree?
When Wang Shouren heard the news, he suddenly became even more puzzled, and turned his head to look at his mysterious father in confusion.
Although he prides himself on being very smart, he can't figure out how his father has a connection with Ganzhou Mansion anyway.
If his father makes a mistake, then it is indeed possible to release Ganzhou Mansion as the prefect, but I haven't heard of anything bad done by my father, and my father's appearance does not look like he has been degraded.
As for this holy will, it is even more inexplicable, and there is no discipline at all. Today's sky is very blue, and from time to time there are spring swallows flying through the air with new mud.
After a cup of tea, Zheng Guozhong, who came with the decree, finished the decree.
"Chen Hanlin revised Wang Hua's decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Wang Hua had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately thanked him respectfully.
Although he gave up the identity of Hanlin Xiu, a noble minister, but became a feudal official of one party, things are still more joyful than worried.
After Zheng Guozhong handed over the holy decree to Wang Hua, he earnestly admonished: "Wang Xiu, Your Majesty is very concerned about the affairs of Ganzhou, you don't have to live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" ”
"Please convey to Gonggong Zheng that the minister will do his best to serve His Majesty Longen!" Wang Hua took the holy decree to promote himself to the fourth rank official on behalf of himself, and he also said seriously.
Wang Shouren had just come out to receive the order, and his eyes suddenly lit up slightly and he muttered: "Governor of Southern Jiangxi? Won't I become the eldest prince of the governor's family? Zheng Guozhong took the Xie Yi sent by Wang Hua and left with his entourage.
Wang Hua took the holy decree in his hand, and his heart also swelled with joy, after many years of hard work, there is a place for him to use, and Nangan will be a big stage for him to display his talents.
"Dad, why has the child never heard of the governor of Nangan, when was this official position?" As soon as Wang Shouren's doubts about his father's trip to Ganzhou Mansion were solved, he discovered a new problem.
Wang Hua saw that his appointment as the governor of Southern Jiangxi was officially finalized, so he explained seriously: "The area around Ganzhou Mansion is at the intersection of four provinces, and I heard that there are many thieves there in the early years, and now Zhuang Ying, the magistrate of Guangchang County, was killed, which has become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is now aware of the unrest in this area, and this is a new position created by Your Majesty in order to bring those chaotic lands back to kinghood! ”
"In this way, Your Majesty is really far-sighted! Now set up a governor of Nanjiang early to suppress the Liukou, no matter what the next results are, it will curb the Liukou in that area and continue to grow! Wang Shouren learned that the governor of Nanjiang was added by Zhu Youzhang, and he also admired it from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Hua knew that everyone had underestimated Hongzhi who was still in the Qing Palace earlier, but he led his son to the inner house, and said worriedly: "The more Your Majesty attaches importance to Nangan, the more your father will not allow any mistakes!" ”
"Daddy, you can put a hundred hearts, the child will accompany you to work, and then I will help you make suggestions to solve the problems of Nanjiang, and you will make contributions in Nanjiang!" Wang Shouren saw his father's worry, and even reached out and patted his chest to reassure.
Wang Hua glanced at his son, but he knew that his son was involved in military affairs, and in the past two years, he had repeatedly tried to write to the emperor to offer advice to quell the peasant uprising.
It's just that the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty are all people who are rich and rich, but everyone can talk on paper. Wang Hua saw his son's confident appearance, so he said elegantly: "Since this is the case, then tell me, how should your father start to solve the trouble of Nanjiang after he takes office?" ”
"Dad, you naturally want to follow His Majesty's example!" Wang Shouren's chin was slightly raised, and he seemed to be rightfully authentic.
Wang Hua's brows furrowed, but he said puzzledly: "What did Your Majesty do?" ”
"The 12th regiment battalion in the capital is treacherous and old and weak, so His Majesty selected elite soldiers and generous salaries to form a battalion of 3,000 heavy cavalry. The Beijing army is still like this, and the local government soldiers must be even more unbearable, and the death of Zhuang Ying, the magistrate of Guangchang County, proves that the officers and soldiers are incompetent. After the arrival of the father, he can form an elite regiment of thousands of people in the jurisdiction, and then ask the court for ordnance and some good horses. If it is left to the children to practice, they will definitely be able to go straight to the rogue lair, or even catch them all! Wang Shouren had already made up his mind in his heart, and he should seriously offer advice.
Wang Hua found that his son's military talent was indeed amazing, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who do you think your father is?" Both armaments and good horses, do you think the imperial court may agree? ”
"Dad, if the court is ruled by Wan An or Liu Ji, such a request will naturally not be granted, how can those old guys save and come. But if today's son is an emperor with great ambitions, and now His Majesty has decided to solve this land of thieves, the child is sure that His Majesty will definitely meet these conditions! Wang Shouren found that his father was still thinking old, and he seemed confident and authentic.
Since the new monarch ascended the throne, he has also been silently paying attention to the court, judging from Emperor Hongzhi's move to build the A.R.D. camp, it has already shown that the emperor wants to lead China on the road to rejuvenation.
Based on his observation of Emperor Hongzhi, as long as he can solve the rogue in the Southern Jiangxi region, armaments and war horses are not a matter at all, and even this emperor will not even blink an eye.
Wang Hua found that his son was very suggestive, and seemed to be able to really get weapons and war horses, so he asked seriously: "Is there anything else?" ”
"Bandits can't appear out of thin air, and they can't disappear for no reason! The child thinks that after his father arrives, he can start to check the household registration register of each province, so as to cut off the back road of the bandits, and make it impossible for them to hide, so as to force the local people not to be easy thieves! Wang Shouren had already carefully analyzed the causes of the Liukou, and immediately proposed to the point.
Wang Hua glanced at his son deeply, and found that his son was indeed not an ordinary arrogant genius, so he promised seriously: "Okay, you will first go to Nanchang, Jiangxi to get married, and then go to Ganzhou Mansion to help your father solve the trouble of Southern Jiangxi!" ”
"The child is not in a hurry to get married, and the father's affairs are the most important!" Wang Shouren's heart moved slightly, and he said very seriously.
Wang Hua's face was straight, and he immediately set up everyone's shelf and said, "This matter is not negotiable!" ”
"Okay!" Wang Shouren originally thought that his marriage could be delayed a little longer, but he didn't want his father's attitude to be so strong, so he had to compromise and authenticate.
It's just that his father is about to go to serve as the governor of Nangan, and he will get a chance to display his talents.
