Chapter 48: Separation of Powers
"Yo, Chen Qing..... Oh no, Lord Chen, are you just back?"
At the door of the mansion, the tired Chen Qing with sleepy eyes, and the horseman Lao Meng finally rushed back, and Chen Qing, who couldn't open his eyelids after running back and forth for two days, suddenly lost his sleepiness after seeing a bunch of familiar faces sitting and drinking porridge at the door.
"Gu Zhuangyuan, when did you come?"
Gu Beiquan, who was known as the champion, twitched slightly, put down the porridge bowl and got up: "Xiaguan has seen the prefect." ”
Although the others were reluctant, they all put down their porridge bowls and saluted: "I've seen the prefect." ”
"Where, where, they are all classmates, don't be so polite......" Chen Qing smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he was polite.
Ma Erniang on the side watched so many scholars salute Chen Qing, and not only secretly said in her heart: This son of the Chen family is really promising, and he will become the prefect directly, it seems that he has really survived a good life, unlike the stinky boy in his own house, who can't read or shit, and is also infected with his dead ghost father's rotten habit of gambling money......
While thinking about it, he hurriedly served a bowl to the young prefect: "Hurry up, the meat porridge that has just been cooked, I put ginger, just to go to the cold." ”
There are so many officials here, but you have to take the opportunity to get to know each other, maybe you can get a good job for your two sons.
Chen Qing smelled his index finger and hurriedly filled a bowl with Lao Meng.
"Our Governor Chen is busy." Zhuang Yuanlang looked at Chen Qing, who was drinking porridge like a starving ghost, and disdain flashed in his eyes: "I heard that we arrived in Liuzhou City a few days earlier, but there has been no change here, I don't know what the prefect is busy with?" ”
Chen Qing drank porridge, and he didn't really want to deal with the other party when he heard this, just like the ghost of Liuzhou City now, I'll give you a busy month, and you will change it for me?
"Lord Chen has also seen the current situation, but what do you think?" Another tall scholar asked slowly, drinking tea.
Chen Qing didn't even raise his head to hear the voice of Shen Yuan, the eyes of the new science list, and his heart was suddenly depressed......
These guys, when they are full, they can't see him drink a mouthful of porridge, right?
The groom on the side felt uncomfortable when he heard it, although he also felt that his master was a little improper, but people were still running around for Liuzhou, and they were in a hurry all night, what did you do? It's so noisy......
"Daddy, why is it so fragrant?"
In the carriage, the ghost baby smelled the fragrance and was obviously hooked, and opened the carriage curtain with sleepy eyes.
What a cute doll!
Everyone was stunned when they saw it, and the dolls in the carriage were like porcelain dolls offered in the temple, which made people feel pity, and a group of disgruntled Jinshi showed a gentle smile on their faces.
I thought that Chen Qing himself was mediocre, but he was born a doll and looked good......
Call.......
Suddenly, the morning breeze blew, and the curtain of the carriage was blown open.
Everyone's faces froze!
It's so big.......
Ma Erniang, the woman who gave birth to two children, turned red, what happened to this doll? How old is the doll? How is it so majestic down there? What did you eat to grow up?
"Ahem!" Chen Qing choked on the porridge, hurriedly put down the porridge bowl, stepped forward and closed the curtain of the carriage: "Ahem...... That Ma Erniang, do you have loose children's clothes? Give me two pieces to put on. ”
"Oh, huh? Chen Qing? Do you have a baby? ”
Chen Qing was struggling, and was about to find a reason to prevaricate, when a huge noble head poked out of the carriage.
"I'll ......"
Ma Erniang was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and the others were also startled.
"What is this?"
"Ah..... this ..... ahem....." Chen Qing sighed and explained: "It's a mountain turtle, according to some people's description of an auspicious rui, isn't it ..... some unspeakable evil things happened in Liuzhou, so I want to pull a Xiangrui over, so as to calm the people's hearts." ”
Poof!
Some people immediately choked on the porridge, and Gu Beiquan, the champion leader, also sneered: "Our prefect, I've been so busy that no one can see me in the past two days, just busy with this?" ”
"Chen Qing ....." Another familiar middle-aged face next to him finally spoke: "Your Majesty and your heavy responsibility is to value you, the more you are like this, the more you can't live up to the grace of the saint, you ......"
Listening to the voice, Chen Qing didn't need to look at it to know which one it was, this kind of guy who likes to use the tone of an old-timer, which one else is there besides Liu Yiqi?
He was not in a hurry, this group of jinshi was not convinced by him, he knew the reason in his heart, he was recruited by Penguin as an executive when he was a program ape from three books, and a group of students who had resumed diplomatic relations in Qingbei were not convinced by him.
But at the beginning, that group of high-achieving students at least had excellent skills, the code was good, the arrogance was a little arrogant, and the work was unambiguous. He didn't bother to spend his energy on them.....
"Now that you've seen the situation here, what do you think?" Chen Qing rinsed his mouth while drinking tea and asked slowly: "If there is any excellent attention, I will never be greedy for merit, so I will write a guarantee to give up the position of the prefect to the meritocracy, and now the imperial court is the time to employ people, as long as you dare to make a military order to ensure that you can solve the situation in Liuzhou, the imperial court will also be promoted exceptionally if you want to come, how about it, which adult is willing to try?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the Jinshi, who was chattering just now, suddenly fell silent.
Chen Qing looked at it for a moment and suddenly sneered: "Oh, it's no idea to do it for a long time?" ”
"Lord Chen!" Gu Beiquan suddenly said angrily: "Is it child's play for you to make the above arrangement?" The imperial court has already made arrangements, of course, each performing its own duties! ”
"Oh, it turns out that Gu Zhuangyuan recognized the arrangement of the imperial court......" Chen Qing put down the teacup and put away the smile on his face: "That being the case, how does this official do it, it's not your turn to criticize, right?" ”
"You ......"
Gu Beiquan's face turned red with anger, and the other Jinshi also looked bad, but Shen Yuan only sneered slightly, and his eyes were still so arrogant.
"Since each has its own duties, let's take the court documents as an example." Chen Qing looked at Ma Erniang and the groom who were stunned next to him, and smiled: "There are no outsiders, let's discuss it here." ”
Chen Qing took out the document and said: "The document says that Gu Zhuangyuan is the general judge, and Shen Bangyan is the same knowledge..... huh?" ”
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unreasonable, why should the second official be one grade bigger than the champion?
For this unreasonableness, many Jinshi who have no background are also puzzled, but Gu Beiquan, who is the champion, just snorted coldly and didn't say anything, and he didn't even dare to have a bad face on the new science list next to him.
The reason is that he knows the background of the other party.
This Shen Yuan was born in the Warlock Academy, with this background, it is useless to take the ten champions by himself, the Great Jin Dynasty, the difference between warlock civil officials and non-warlock civil officials, but one heaven and one underground, if it weren't for the fact that warlocks were too rare, it would not be their turn to be ordinary people like them to be officials.
Chen Qing didn't dwell on it for long, and continued: "According to the practice of the state capitals, the general judgment and the same knowledge can be released, and they can also work in the same city with the official. ”
"My Liuzhou is one of the main trade routes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the matter of river defense is particularly important. It is imminent to rebuild the river defense and attract merchant ships to return, who wants to take this errand? ”
"This ......." Gu Beiquan choked suddenly, he didn't expect that this clay leg surnamed Chen was born and had not undergone any government affairs training, so he actually said it as soon as he came up.
Also know to throw out the most troublesome mess.
Everyone knows that Jiangfang involves major interests, and is responsible for the registration and management of shipping goods, and has to deal with the general army responsible for mobilizing soldiers.
Suddenly said sullenly: "The lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and I am afraid that I can't take such important government affairs, or ...... Lord Shen, take a look? ”
Shen Yuan was born as a warlock, so he thought he would be more confident than himself.
Shen Yuan frowned when he heard this, he wanted to fight for this Jiangfang matter, not only did he have a lot of credit, but he also had a lot of oil and water, but his news was better than Gu Beiquan, and he knew who the new chief soldier was when he came from the capital.
It's okay for the others, but it turned out that this time it was the madman from the Wei Chi family, and he was really a little weak.
After thinking about it, he said: "Lord Chen, now that there is a shortage of officials in Liuzhou, it is a waste of manpower for me and the other three to govern in Liuzhou Mansion, why don't we ..... it out?" ”
He figured out that if Jiangfang couldn't fight, the rest of the grain transportation, supervision, and farming were all government affairs with a slow return cycle, especially in the current situation in Liuzhou, the government affairs let out by the other party were thankless, and instead of fighting for power in a mess, it was better to be sent to an important county town to be the chief official.
Not only is it unregulated, but it is also more capable of political achievements.
Gu Beiquan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he obviously thought of this, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Shen is right, now that the manpower is so insufficient, it is better to put it out......"
The corners of Chen Qing's mouth twitched, he knew that the other party would answer like this.
When he left the capital, Wei Gongcheng had already revealed to him that the new chief soldier in Liuzhou seemed to be the eldest brother of Wei Chipeng, and he was an extremely troublesome person, but as long as this champion or the list had some background information, he would not think of fighting with the madman of the Wei Chi family.
But he doesn't buy it, what madman is not crazy, he has to grasp all the government affairs in Liuzhou, whether it is city defense or river defense, he will not allow it to fall into the hands of others, which is related to the plan to seal the gods later.
When the king of heaven comes, he has to fight!
