The dispatch of the inner court officials to patrol the border had a greater impact than Lin Xiu expected.

The next day, Lin Xiushu felt that he had been working for three days, and the registration day was four days, so he could be regarded as an old man in the Hanlin Academy.

So after practicing Qi Jiguang's marksmanship in the afternoon, he returned home early.

Then Lin Xiushu saw that Li Rusong, the son of Li Chengliang, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, Ningyuanbo, was sitting in the front hall of his house, drinking tea and waiting for him.

After meeting, Li Dudu didn't say a word, and directly opened the wooden box at hand.

I saw the white flowers in the box, except for silver, it was still silver! It's all fifty-tael-one silver ingots!

Then Li Rusong said again: "I heard that the Hanlin Academy recommended you to participate in the tour of the nine sides, right?" ”

The well-informed Lin Xiushu was shocked, it was not that he had never seen money, and he was not shocked by this amount of money, but he was surprised that the Li family was so sensible?

The idea of patrolling Liaodong Town by himself is just an idea at present, and the Li family took the initiative to come to bribe?

I feel that I have transgressed, this should be the first assistant treatment that Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing have enjoyed.

"Write off all your debts, and give you these silver taels!" Li Dudu's other identity is still a creditor, "As long as you go to inspect Xuanfu Town!" ”

Lin Xiu: "??? ”

Did I lose my ear, or did Li Dudu make a mistake in your mouth? Liaodong Town and Xuanfu Town are two directions.

Li Rusong emphatically said: "I'm not wrong, I personally ask you to go to Xuanfu Town." ”

Lin Xiushu was still inexplicable, "What am I going to Xuanfu for?" ”

"Help me take revenge on Xu Shouqian, the governor of Xuanfu!" Li Rusong gritted his teeth and said.

It turned out that the year before last, that is, when Lin Tailai was still doing good neighborly deeds in his hometown in Jiangnan and concentrating on learning, Li Rusong briefly served as the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town.

Then Li Rusong and Xu Shouqian, the governor of Xuanfu, had a conflict, and during the military parade, Li Rusong insisted that Xu Shouqian sit on an equal footing.

In today's context of the noble and the lowly, the chief military officer often has to be subordinated to the governor, and it is impossible to sit on an equal footing.

So of course Xu Shouqian was unwilling to sit with Li Rusong, this matter made a big fuss on the spot, and the angry civil officials and Li Rusong almost punched each other, but they were all stopped left and right.

Later, the matter reached the imperial court, although Li Rusong was the favorite general of the Wanli Emperor, he was attacked and had to be removed from the post of chief military officer of Xuanfu Town.

To this day, Li Rusong is still haunted, and he still holds a grudge against Xu Shouqian, the governor of Xuanfu.

After learning about the cause and effect, Lin Tailai said with disdain: "Almost a fight? You're all so weak?

If I had been there, I wouldn't have said a word! I will never allow an opponent who tries to throw a fist to stand in front of me! ”

Li Rusong: "."

Is that the point? Lin Zhuangyuan: Is your focus a little biased?

"To be honest, I still want to go to Liaodong." Lin Tai said.

Li Rusong persuaded: "For you, isn't it the same wherever you go to patrol? And the distance between Xuanfu is close, and the area is small, so it is easy to go back and forth! ”

Lin Tailai sighed, although Xuanfu is very good, he still wants to go to Liaodong.

After all, Liaodong is next to the "country of Hajj freshness", and there is also the Qing Dynasty Taizu who has just made his fortune.

Li Rusong tried his best to persuade again: "I can say very clearly that Xu Shouqian is despicable, greedy for money and bribery, and corrupts side affairs!"

Xuanfu is too close to Beijing, and conniving at this person to do anything wrong in Xuanfu will cause endless trouble to Beijing! ”

Lin Xiushu almost said a sentence of breaking off friendship-Li Dudu, before you say this, why don't you find a mirror and look at your father?

"Let's be honest, I want to go to Liaodong to have a look and draw a circle in Jianzhou." Lin Tai said.

Li Rusong couldn't do it, so he had to show his last hole card: "Xu Shouqian and Zhao Nanxing of the Ministry of Officials are fellow villagers." ”

Lin Xiu: "! ”

Li Rusong continued: "According to the rules of officialdom promotion, the governor of Xuanfu can become a squire in the military department in the next step, and it is not impossible for Xu Shouqian to be a scholar in the future!" ”

"You said it earlier! Then I'll think about it again. Lin Tailai replied.

Li Rusong said: "If you really want to go to Liaodong to see, you are welcome to go at any time!" Not bad for this chance! ”

sent Li Rusong away, and suddenly saw that Wang Situ sent someone over to spread the word, saying that the eldest son Wang Xiangqian had arrived in Beijing, so a family banquet was set up tonight and Lin Tai was invited to come over to gather together.

In fact, in the two generations of Jinshi of the old Wang family, the person with the highest achievement in history is Wang Xiangqian, who was still alive until the early years of Chongzhen, and was still in his eighties in front of the Jiliao Governor of the Military Department.

Wang Xiangqian's health is so good, from now on, he can continue to work for Daming for forty years, which is worth cultivating and using.

However, Wang Xiangqian has been working as an official in other places in recent years, and Lin Tai has not seen anyone when he comes to Beijing, but now he can finally meet him.

When he came to Wang's house, under the guidance of the servants, Aunt Lin went straight into the back hall and saw that there were already three people talking in the hall.

In addition to Wang Situ and Wang Xiangmeng, a senior imperial historian, there is another middle-aged man who has never been seen before, and it must be Wang Situ's eldest son Wang Xiangqian.

If you look closely, this Wang Xiangqian has a thin face, which is kind and kind, and it doesn't seem to be the handsome temperament of a border town in history.

Lin Tailai stood at the door, looking at Wang Xiangqian with a smile, waiting for the other party to come forward to salute.

Wang Xiangqian smiled helplessly, so he could only get up and salute: "I've seen my uncle." ”

I am the second in the elephant generation, a forty-five-year-old person, and the difference of five years is half a hundred, but I have to call a twenty-two-year-old stranger an elder, which is really unreasonable.

Lin Tailai said in a serious way: "Virtuous nephew is exempt!" You don't have to be polite! ”

After they all sat down, Lin Tailai asked: "Do you want to elect an official when your nephew enters Beijing, if you need your uncle's help, just speak!" ”

Wang Situ interjected with a smile: "His official position has been appointed, but he may still need your assistance."

This official position is a very crucial step for him, and he can't be too careful. ”

The elders talk to each other, and the juniors don't speak.

Lin Tailai asked Wang Situ again: "If you want to hear the details, what do you need me to do?" ”

Wang Situ said: "Zikuo was appointed as the right political officer of Shanxi to guard the North Dao this time. ”

Zikuo is Wang Xiangqian's character, if you are not familiar with the official system of the Ming Dynasty, you will only be confused when you hear his official position.

In fact, this official position has nothing to do with Shanxi, but only borrowed the name of Shanxi.

In Daming, this is called borrowing, and similarly, Liaodong officials borrowed the name of Shandong, and officials of Nanzhili borrowed the name of Zhejiang.

And Koubei Province is actually Xuanfu, and it is divided into the right side of Koubei Province to participate in politics, which means that it is responsible for the civil affairs of the Xuanfu area.

The Daotai station is in the city of Xuanfu Town, and the governor of Xuanfu, the general army of Xuanfu Town, the commander of the Wanquan Division, and the eunuch of the supervising army are in the same city.

Lin Tailai said thoughtfully: "So the virtuous nephew is going to Xuanfu to take office?" ”

Those who are familiar with the rules of officialdom immediately understand that Wang Xiangqian's future route is planned.

Wang Xiangqian worked as a director, a foreigner, and a lieutenant in the military department, and then he was promoted to a serious military department.

In the future, personal development will definitely rely on the military department, and it will be more smooth in terms of qualifications.

From the right of Sanpin, the political division is guarded by the north road, and the next step is the governor of Xuanfu, and the governor of Xuanfu is the governor of Xuanda.

And now in the Ming officialdom, the secretary of the military department of the hall is generally served by Xuanda and Jiliao Governor Hui Dynasty.

When you reach the governor of Xuanda, you can consider being promoted to the secretary of the military department who sits in the hall, and even the governor of the Xuanfu can be promoted to the squire of the military department.

Wang Xiangqian's personal development plan is probably like the above, as long as he hears about the division of the north road, he can deduce it.

Therefore, this current step is very crucial, and it is the last step towards the level of supervision and feudalism. If this step is not taken well, there is no follow.

Wang Situ frowned slightly and said, "The situation in Xuanfu is more complicated now, the water is not deep but a little muddy.

In the town of Xuanfu, the governor and the deputy chief soldier approached. And the general army was close to the governor of Xuanda, who was stationed in Yanghe. ”

Lin Tailai said very understandingly: "That's right, not to mention that the Xuanfu also has the Patrol Press, Wanquan Division, Household Division, Criminal Division, and so on." ”

Anyway, the imperial court set up in the Xuanfu institution, it is really a stacked bed frame house, which is very characteristic of the Ming Dynasty.

Xuanfu City may be the most intricate city for yamen and officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the capital.

Liaodong also knew that the capital division and the general army were not in the same city, and the governor was in charge of one side of the Liaohe River, but the Xuanfu was all gathered in the Xuanfu town, and it was like a pot of porridge when it was fought.

Wang Situ sighed and asked, "If it is possible, when you visit the border towns, can you consider choosing to go to Xuanfu together?"

After all, you are a serious minister who is ordered to patrol the border, and you can escort Zikuo to Xuanfu and help him gain a stable foothold in Xuanfu. ”

Lin Xiushu was speechless, his latest promised land was obviously the Great Andong region, why did he ask himself to go to Xuanfu?

After thinking about it, Lin Xiu asked rhetorically, "Are you sure that if I escort Zikuo to Xuanfu, I will be safe?" ”

Wang Situ couldn't understand: "Why are you unstable after you?" Who would dare not sell the face of the border ministers? ”

Lin Tailai replied truthfully: "Uncle Ning wants to ask me to get the governor of Xuanfu." ”

Wang Situ: "."

The egg hurts, this egg hurts! Why are you always so bells and whistles!

If Wang Xiangqian followed Lin Tai to Xuanfu, wouldn't he become an accomplice?

How can a right-right politician who has just arrived and wants to be governor as soon as he takes office?

If it can't be done, Lin Tailai will run back to the capital to hide in the Hanlin Courtyard, and the governor outside can't help him.

But Wang Xiangqian's residence is on the right side of the Xuanfu to participate in politics, where can he go?

Lin Tailai said frankly: "This is the situation, do you think about it?" ”

Wang Situ hesitated for a moment and said, "Otherwise, you go to Xuanfu Huohe first." And Zikuo first asked for leave to stay at home, and then went to work later to see the situation? ”

This is also a safe approach, in case Lin Xiushu messes up in Xuanfu, Wang Xiangqian, who has not arrived, will still have a chance to change places.

Lin Tailai replied: "Then I'll think about it again, whether to go to Xuanfu." In fact, according to my original intention, I wanted to go to Liaodong Town. ”
