Chapter 432: An official is not like an official, and he is willing to be an emperor's sword
From the moment Song Cheng stepped into Jiangnan, he had already felt that the official style in Jiangnan was not right.
Although there is also no shortage of flattering officials in the capital, after all, there is a difference between the top and bottom, and it is orderly, even if the children of the court officials are all carrying their tails.
However, this land south of the Yangtze River is simply a miasma.
The local officials did not have the appearance of their father's officials, not only conniving at the unscrupulous behavior of the local officials and gentry, but also some high-ranking cadres were able to mobilize the officials for their own use.
Song Cheng first glanced at Hou Haotian who was watching over there, and then looked at Feng Zhong, who had already softened, and said domineeringly: "You don't dare!" ”
Now the Ming monarch Hongzhi is in the court, and now the Ming court has the iron-blooded army of Beijing and the border army. Even if there is chaos here in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as Wang Shi goes south, everything can be pacified.
As for one's own life and death, it doesn't matter anymore.
If he is poisoned, he will be fine, but if he does not die, he will definitely let this Suzhou Haiyan River clear, and he will definitely uproot this official gentry group.
The reason why he suddenly changed his mind and exposed himself this time and deliberately chose to hide Cheng Xin in Su Mansion was because he wanted to be an emperor's knife in a dignified manner.
Although he did not have Wang Yue's strategy and Wang Yue's ability to use the art of war, his strength was that he cared for the people and could conscientiously master the people.
The noon sun fell on Song Cheng's body, and the mixed body seemed to exude a heroic righteousness.
"Yes!" Feng Zhong faced the extremely strong Song Cheng and found that today's sunlight was particularly dazzling, so he had to respond aggrievedly.
Now he only hopes that Jiangnan Business will do some more work, give this Ying Tian Governor who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and directly let this scum who licks the emperor die without a place to be buried.
As for the black gauze hat that he was taken off, the court also had to return it to him.
Sometimes he really doesn't understand, obviously now that the world is peaceful, this emperor wants to do so many things, he just wants to force everyone to rebel.
"Lord Song, I don't know the authenticity of this holy decree yet, can I let my son take a look?" Hou Haotian was holding an incense fan, looking questioning.
"How old are you!" Wang Yu had long seen that Hou Haotian was unpleasant, but he said directly.
Supposedly, this edict was not personally issued and read out by a high-ranking official in Nanjing, so there is indeed a certain degree of authenticity, and local officials also have the right to check the contents after reading it.
It's just that after Wang Yu finished reading it out just now, he didn't show it.
But he didn't expect that Feng Zhong, the prefect of Suzhou, and Su Songbing, and Chu Jian did not question it, but as a result, this little boy asked to see the holy decree.
"This son is the son of Yingtian, and he is the pillar of the country, and he does not dare to take lightly the affairs that concern the people of Yingtian!" The corners of Hou Haotian's mouth rose slightly, looking very proud.
Hou Haotian is indeed fed by God, and he was originally born in a family of eunuchs, but he was born with great wisdom. Even if you don't study very hard, you were lucky enough to get the first place in the penultimate ranking in the second year of Hongzhi.
Although he has won the fame of lifting people, he also knows that the road of the imperial examination is difficult, not to mention that he is actually a little worse than other people. Instead of fighting hard for the fame of the Jinshi, it is better to support his father to ascend to the throne.
With his ingenuity and intelligence, he is a behind-the-scenes military advisor, and he naturally eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays to be a carefree nobleman, and this kind of life is even happier than that of the emperor.
Lift people?
Wang Yu didn't expect that the other party would be admitted to the fame, and he couldn't help but re-examine this son-in-law with an evil smile on his face.
Song Cheng knew that the richer the family, the better the educational resources, but he decided to meet this arrogant son for a while: "Do you suspect that the holy decree of this governor is fake? ”
This......
Feng Zhong, the prefect of Suzhou, turned his head to look at Hou Haotian suspiciously, but he didn't understand why this smart Zhiduoxing had doubts about this matter, no one would dare to falsify the holy decree.
The holy decree of the Ming Dynasty not only has all kinds of anti-counterfeiting technology, but also has strict regulations, and the scrolls alone are very valuable. The first product is jade, the second product is black rhinoceros horn, and the third product is gold, and Song Cheng is appointed by the third product this time.
The edict in front of him was made of the finest silk, and the scroll was a standard gold scroll, and the dragon pattern on the back of the decree was even more impossible to fake.
Judging from all the things that have been exposed, this holy decree must not be fake, and Song Cheng must be the governor of Yingtian who has just been appointed by the imperial court.
This decree is naturally false, but the person wants to know the content of the decree, whether it is ...... As the guard reads! Hou Haotian put away the painting fan in his hand, and said with an evil smile on his face.
Naturally, no one dared to do anything to fake the holy decree, but this holy decree was read out by the guards brought by Song Cheng after all, and it was not sure how many words were added to it.
In particular, as is always the case, the decrees that are made public to local officials are usually displayed after they are read aloud, rather than being put away immediately.
Now the guard was suddenly nervous about putting away the decree, and even if it wasn't forged, there must be something else.
If he could catch them red-handed and falsely spread the will in public, but he didn't need to take action himself, as long as he stabbed the whole thing to the capital, the emperor would naturally clean up Song Cheng.
Song Cheng put the holy decree back into Wang Yu's hands, and Wang Yu's eyes suddenly closed helplessly.
Really!
Hou Haotian caught Wang Yu's small action, and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, knowing that this time he had made the right bet, and Song Cheng would be in a state of no return.
Once Song Cheng's false holy decree was confirmed, he not only saved Feng Zhong and Chu Jian, but also solved Song Cheng's thorn in the side through his extraordinary wisdom.
Suzhou prefect Feng Zhong and Su Song Bingbei Dao Chu Jian stretched their necks, and soon saw the content of the holy decree above, the vigorous calligraphy was a hundred times stronger than himself.
It's just that!
After reading the content of the holy decree above, they turned their heads and looked at Hou Haotian in confusion, but they didn't understand why Hou Haotian wanted to hold on to the holy decree.
"Word for word? How so? ”
Hou Haotian stepped forward to read the entire content of the holy decree carefully, but after reading it twice, he was dumbfounded, and it was not at all what he thought.
It's just that!
He turned his head to look at Wang Yu without giving up, this person's expression just now was obviously wrong, why was there no problem with the holy decree at all? Could it be that you didn't see it?
"Let's read it!"
Wang Yu asked angrily, and then snapped the holy decree together.
The holy decree was hurriedly handed over to the person next to him, and he was already flushed with suffocation at this time, and he ran to the tree in front of the Su Mansion Gate, and then poured three thousand miles happily.
Boom la la la......
The smoothness after this kind of hardship is simply a long drought and nectar.
"Insulting Sven!" Suzhou Governor Feng Zhong and Su Song were prepared to do it, and Chu Jian suddenly rolled his eyes when he saw that Wang Yu was here to explain in public.
Su Bonian's father and son didn't think there was anything, and they were still watching this good show from the sidelines.
It is said that there is no vanity under the fame, and now Song Cheng's performance has far exceeded their expectations, this Song Qingtian makes them seem to see a fierce minister.
Song Cheng's gaze fell on Hou Haotian again, but he asked quietly: "Hou Juren, there is no problem with the governor's holy decree, right?" ”
"I didn't ...... No! Although Hou Haotian was extremely unhappy in his heart, he also shook his head helplessly.
The appearance of the young man who dared to love just now had a strange look on his face and demeanor, not because there was something wrong with the holy decree, but because he wanted to finish it as soon as possible and go to the thatched house.
Song Cheng asked people to put away the holy decree, and immediately said with a straight face: "Since there is no problem, then the governor will have to perform the duties of the governor of Yingtian!" ”
Hey?
Su Bonian heard Song Cheng's words, but he didn't understand what Song Cheng was going to do.
Hou Haotian was very sensitive to the crisis, and immediately chuckled in his heart.
It's just that he quickly thought of his dignified identity, and there was a father of the Nanjing household servant to support him, and the governor of Yingtian, who was very young, did not dare to touch him.
In fact, officialdom has always been the protection of officials and officials, and few people really have nothing to do and complain about, and this kind of official has not ended well in history.
Song Cheng first glanced at Hou Haotian, and then said lightly: "Hou Haotian, you can contract the top brand Sisi of the Moon Picking Building in the Qinglou yesterday?" ”
Su Qu's illness has been loosened, and when he echoed: "Hou Haotian, you don't want to deny it, this kind of thing is known to everyone, you can't rely on it at all!" ”
"Back to the Governor of Song, Xiaosheng has been fond of poetry since he was a child, so he often asks three or five confidants to go to the Qinglou to chant poems to cultivate his sentiments, I don't know what's wrong?" Hou Haotian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior, so he smiled slightly.
Song Cheng's face did not change, and he said seriously: "Naturally, it's not appropriate!" Since you are a son of the heavens, you should study the scriptures and history to gain merit, but you spend all day drinking, and you often prostitute yourself, which is simply insulting! This governor has taken off your fame and fame, and it is in the style of the sky! ”
Originally, he didn't want to make a big fuss, but when he saw Hou Haotian just standing up to the arrogant and proud appearance of his fame, he temporarily decided to give him a little color.
Since it is to rectify Jiangnan, it is necessary to take what they care about the most, and the arrogant son in front of him obviously cares about the fame of his son.
Of course, there is a deeper intent here. Because he learned that the boy in front of him turned out to be the military advisor of Jiangnan Firm, then he should be even more angry with him, so that Jiangnan Merchant might reveal more flaws.
"You...... Do you want to pick me up for fame? Hou Haotian didn't know Song Cheng's true intentions at all, and pointed to his nose in disbelief.
The reason why he is stronger and more respected than other Yanai is that he has achieved the fame of lifting people.
The result?
This newly arrived governor of Yingtian actually wanted to remove his fame, and even more so to make him a negative teaching material for the Jiangnan literary style, which was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
Song Cheng saw Hou Haotian's shock in his eyes, but he said with a firm gaze: "This governor not only wants to repose your reputation, but also investigates you for gathering crowds to fight!" Come and escort people back to the Yamen of the Heavenly Patrol Governor! ”
"Aren't you afraid of offending my father? My father, Hou Zhan, the left waiter of the Nanjing household department! Hou Haotian said loudly in the face of the sudden prison disaster, emphasizing his identity.
Different from the other five departments in Nanjing, the Nanjing Household Department is in charge of the money of Nanzhili, and can not only pass the customs for Huaiyan to come in, but also participate in the taxation of the customs, which is actually a department with real power.
Now that his father has accumulated enough qualifications in the officialdom and has a backer in the capital, as long as he is willing to spend money on operation this time, his father will definitely be able to return to the court as a household attendant.
Even the squire in the capital has to sell his father a face, not to mention that he is still an unknown rising star, a man who sells his reputation in the capital.
"Why should we be afraid of this governor in his uprightness? As for the Hou Shilang you mentioned, there is no way to teach the son today, and the governor of this country also has to refer to him, and the court must not reuse this kind of person! Song Cheng didn't take Hou Zan in his eyes at all, and seemed ruthless and deliberately stimulated Hou Haotiandao.
Hou Haotian was really angry at the moment, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "You...... Do you really want to do that? ”
"You've got something! Come on, bring people down! Wang Yu has always looked down on Hou Haotian, so he ordered with a wave of his hand.
Hou Haotian has always been the existence of the stars holding the moon, and at this moment, he is also playing the temper of the eldest young master: "I see who dares to touch this son!" ”
Syllable!
Wang Yu stepped forward with an arrow, but before Hou Haotian could react, he slapped him loudly.
Yes?
Everyone present couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Wang Yu slap Hou Haotian.
You must know that Hou Haotian's father is a household servant in Nanjing, and it has been rumored that he will be transferred back to the capital this year, and he is one of the core members of Jiangnan business.
There has even been gossip that the mastermind behind Wang Yue's assassination is this strategizing Hou Haotian.
Hou Haotian covered his aching face and asked in disbelief: "You dare to beat my son, do you dare to report your name?" ”
"I am the second team of the Search Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I am Wang Yu of a thousand households!" Wang Yu was naturally not afraid, so he coldly reported his identity.
Hou Haotian secretly wrote down the name, but said provocatively: "When my father returns to the capital, I will let you understand the price of this slap!" ”
Syllable!
As soon as the words fell, another loud slap fell.
Hou Haotian was really angry at the moment, even if he wanted to fight with Wang Yu, he was only firmly caught by the two people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"This slap is a slap to wake you up! Your father is a fart, don't compare your family power with my son, your father is not worthy of lifting shoes for my grandfather! Wang Yu found that the boy in front of him was simply a frog at the bottom of the well, and he was also deliberately stimulating the tunnel.
Hey? His grandfather?
Feng Zhong, the prefect of Suzhou, and others, who were eating melons next to them, couldn't help but look at each other, and they dared to love this extremely arrogant young man in front of him.
Song Cheng faintly felt that Wang Yu knew his intentions, so he said lightly: "This Wang Qianhu is the elite of the Imperial Procuratorate who is highly valued by His Majesty, and his grandfather is our Ming Dynasty Wang Ge Lao!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Who in the world doesn't know that Wang Yue is an authentic emperor, but Zhu Youzhi ascended the throne and revived Wang Yue, so that Wang Yue was able to step into the pavilion from a person who lived in the palace.
On the other hand, Hou Zhan, the squire of Nanjing's household department, although he has a little qualification, I am afraid that the emperor doesn't even know who he is, let alone be promoted and reused in the future.
If you really want to compare the family situation, the extremely arrogant Hou Haotian is actually not worthy of lifting shoes, and Hou Haotian, who realizes this, is even more ashamed.
As for the achievements of the two, the Jiangnan firm created by Hou Haotian cannot be put on the table, but Wang Yu is already an authentic military officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The city of Suzhou seems to be boiling all of a sudden.
"Song Qingtian really came to our Suzhou City!"
"God opens my eyes, we finally have a good official in Suzhou!"
"I heard that he took off the official uniforms of Feng Dog and Chu Dog as soon as he took office!"
……
As the news spread all over the streets and alleys of Suzhou City, after learning that the famous Song Qingtian came to Suzhou City, the people here rushed to tell each other as if it was the New Year.
Any era needs a role model, and now everyone knows that Song Cheng is a rare Qing official in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and Song Cheng's image of honesty and integrity in the drama is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Now that Song Cheng has come as the governor of Yingtian, whether it is an ordinary person who has been robbed of people's land, or a bitter master whose relatives have been poisoned, Song Cheng has become their hope.
"The governor does not need to file a pleading, he can always come in and complain!" Song Cheng faced the passionate people, and he also gave a very reasonable order.
In this day and age, there is an economic cost to suing.
A standard piece of paper costs money, it costs money to find a master to write a good paper, and it costs money to send the written paper to the yamen, and the yamen is often "the yamen is open, and there is no money to come in".
It's just that now Song Cheng can accept oral complaints, which not only reduces the financial burden of the sufferer, but also greatly improves the efficiency of the trial of the case.
After all, this is an unfair world, who has no grievances, what Suzhou City lacks is the real blue sky, a good official who is not afraid of offending the gentry and making decisions for them.
In Suzhou in March, a Song Qingtian came to Suzhou City, and Song Qingtian abandoned Wang Yue's practice of lurking and raiding with strange tricks, but upright justice for the people.
However, the matter of Suzhou City has not yet been sorted out, and as a result, the news of the poisoning of Yin Zhi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, the governor of Zhejiang, came from the south. (End of chapter)
