"My lord, there are people outside asking to see you!"

Just as Mader thought that he might be poking another hornet's nest, the soldiers came over to report that someone was looking for him.

"Who is it?" Mader asked.

"This is the man's post! Adults, please take a look! The soldier took out a sticker and handed it to Mader.

"Hmm!" Ma De took the post, opened it and looked at it, only to see a line of books written on it:

"Xiaguan's new Xuande County Lingtian Wenjing respectfully worships under the command of the horse-made platform!"

"Tian Wenjing? Good! Finally, there is some good news! This time, I have one more in my team! Ma De smiled and closed the salute, and instructed the soldiers: "Please wait a moment for that Tian County Commander, and say that I will come later!" ”

"Wow!"

……

Who is Mader?

People of the future!

What does he want to do?

Stew the toad over a slow fire and boil this so-called Qing Dynasty!

But how slow is the slow fire? To what extent should the heat go?

This is one of the most difficult questions to grasp. The stubbornness of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be the culmination of all dynasties, and the ruthlessness of the Qing Dynasty emperor can definitely be called the crown. Therefore, while doing things, we must grasp a good degree.

So far, Ma De and others have a good grasp of this degree. not only gained Kangxi's trust, but also gained great power. However, in the same way, they also provoked a large group of "enemies". Although it is not a personal vendetta, and it is not so hateful that it will be rubbed to the extent of ashes, but it is not smooth after all.

Therefore, without knowing whether one's goal can be achieved, finding a favorite retainer who may be the next emperor and cultivating it is a way to continue one's dream.

Speaking of which, Ma De and the others didn't have much cold on Yongzheng, who is now the fourth elder brother Yinzhen. I don't know, although this fourth prince is very loved by Kangxi on the surface, his status among the princes and his influence on the courtiers can only be described as minimal. It is precisely because of this that Ma De and others understand why Yongzheng will be opposed by so many people after he ascends the throne. Just imagine, what was originally just an inconspicuous small employee, but suddenly became the CEO of a large multinational company, what will those high-level executives who were originally ambitious want to seize this position think? How can you be convinced? However, it is precisely because of the clever means of the fourth prince who is not eye-catching and can surprise and hit with one blow, Ma De and the others are not sure whether he can finally take over as the emperor, so they still regard this prince as the most likely person to succeed to the throne. Moreover, among the princes who are currently hoping to win the throne, only the prince's future henchmen are still at the bottom and can be won over by them. So, Ma De and the others targeted these people.

Now, in Fengtian, Old Man Fei has caught a Yin Jixiang, although this future governor is still just a child, but he is a super potential stock. Yu Zhong caught Yue Zhongqi, this is the top general in the Yongzheng period in addition to Nian Qianyao, in addition, Yu Zhong may be able to "catch" a Long Keduo in his hands!

And Mader is not idle, he has already caught several:

Li Fu, Ma De remembered that this guy seemed to have been the governor of Huguang and the governor of Zhili. The word Julai, a native of Linchuan, Jiangxi, and a Jinshi in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi. Forty years, after Ma De's Zhang Kai, Liu Yingxia, Li Liang and others were transferred away by Kangxi, the new official took office, and he was appointed as the governor of Fengyang Mansion in Shangzhi County, and in the past three years, his political achievements have been outstanding! It is the object of inspection and supervision of Ma De's key children.

Shi Yizhi, Ma De didn't remember what official this person was, he only knew that he was a famous minister! The word is a good string, a native of Liyang, Jiangsu, and a thirty-ninth year jinshi of Kangxi, and this guy was just nineteen years old when he was named on the gold list, which can be described as a young talent. The first grant was reviewed from the Qipin Hanlin Academy, forty years, Anhui officials were transferred, and after Ma De came to Li Fu, he thought about finding out that there was such a person in the Hanlin Academy, and recruited him to Anhui, Ren Taihe Zhixian! In the past three years, the political performance has been excellent every year.

Yang Mingshi, a famous minister, seems to be quite capable, and it is said that he indirectly killed Zhang Tingyu's brother Zhang Tingshi! The word Binshi, the number Ning Zhai. A native of Jiangyin East Gate. Kangxi 30 years of Jinshi, his seat teacher is the governor of Zhili and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Li Guangdi, and is deeply respected, from which he has received scriptures and learned from it, and his attainments are profound. Forty years, when Ma De "caught" Shi Yizhi, he forcibly took it away from Li Guangdi, and he is now the Anhui Grain Road!

Li Wei, needless to say. The word is youjiu, a native of Tongshan in the south of the Yangtze River, and Li Pan's brother! Born in the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, his family is wealthy, and he is not a beggar! Now seventeen, I don't like to study, I can't read big characters! Under close observation.

Liu Tongxun, the word Yanqing, a native of Gaomi, Shandong, the father of Liu Luoguo, a Qing official, is much more powerful than Liu Luoguo! Born in the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, he is now five years old, and gave up after preliminary observation!

Ji Yun, the word Xiaolan, a big cigarette pouch! …… I didn't find where it was, it should belong to the Qianlong Dynasty, and I don't plan to consider it in forty years!

……

Now, there is another Tian Wenjing!

Yongzheng admires three courtiers the most: Li Wei! Tian Wenjing! Ortai!

During the Yongzheng Dynasty, Tian Wenjing participated in the impeachment of corrupt officials; Inventory the arrears and implement the return of envy to the public; restricting the privileges of the gentry and strictly restricting the payment of money and food; Strict implementation of the armor protection system, etc. This old man's approach has always been harsh, so it has aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of officials and gentry inside and outside the court, and he has been impeached by Li Fu, the governor of Zhili, and Xie Jishi, the superintendent of the imperial history. However, Yongzheng is honest in his heart, calling him a "model Xinjiang official", and he is appointed as before. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, he was appointed as the governor of Henan and the title of secretary of the military department. For six years, he served as the governor of Henan and Shandong. Seven years, plus the crown prince Taibao. For eight years, he was also the governor of the North River. It was the year old, the flood in Henan, Tian Wenjing hid and did not report, the government and the opposition stole it, and Yongzheng still tolerated it. On November 21, 10 years, he died of illness.

Although Ma De didn't know so much about Tian Wenjing, he knew that Tian Wenjing was the number one leftist radical and dogmatist in the Yongzheng period with the full implementation of the emperor's will as the program of action.

Originally, Ma De, who knew some things, thought that Tian Wenjing and Li Fu were buddies, and they should be about the same age. However, according to this direction, Ma De checked for a long time and did not find someone Tian, and Li Fu also pointed out that he did not have a classmate surnamed Tian. Later, Ma De thought that Tian Wenjing didn't seem to be famous for his literary talent, maybe he was just showing off his talent or even being a child now, so he gave up. However, what he didn't expect was that the Xuancheng Zhixian County transferred to him this year was actually called Tian Wenjing. Moreover, this Tian is still a member of the Han Army with a blue flag, as early as the twenty-second year of Kangxi, he went to Jiuyan Prefecture as a prisoner and became a county magistrate, which is 20 years, and he has not been promoted. From this, Ma De concluded that this Tian County Cheng is very likely to be the governor of the Yongzheng Dynasty, except for Yongzheng himself, who is almost annoyed, hated, and hated by everyone! Otherwise, why hasn't this guy been promoted for twenty years? Only this kind of person can have the same smell as Yongzheng's radical and stingy guy who will be revenged!

"I don't know how much this Tian Wenjing will prick his head! Twenty years of county Cheng, even a turtle, can climb to the seat of the county, right? It's a shame that he can do it! Smiling, Mader didn't think about anything else, and walked towards the living room.

……

Ma De was imagining what Tian Wenjing was like, and Tian Wenjing, who was waiting for him, was not imagining him?

The meeting room of the governor's yamen was naturally not small, and Tian Wenjing sat on the chair in the hall a little cramped, and couldn't help but look around.

His literary talent is not high, if it weren't for the identity of a Han military banner, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to donate to the prisoners. Moreover, his ability is limited, and his personality is really not very good, otherwise he would not have been a county magistrate for twenty years in a row and could not be promoted. This time, he got the text of the ministry, and after learning the news that he was promoted to the magistrate, he almost thought that someone had deceived him. However, after confirming it, he was not very happy.

Anhui!

What is the place there? He was not worried that Anhui's fire would only receive a maximum of two and a half cents in five years, nor was he worried that he would not be able to do the post of county magistrate, but he was only worried that the governor of Madma, who was said to be good at finding fault and dismissing officials, would look at him unpleasantly.

I know what kind of character I have, and when I arrive in Anhui, there is a ninety percent chance that I will offend people, but if I offend this Governor Ma, what should I do? Although he doesn't care about anything, he has been a county magistrate for 20 years after all, and it may be a bit inappropriate to let him be a common man again. What made him feel a little strange was that before he arrived as a county magistrate, he actually got a handwritten letter from Master Madema, which asked him to come to Anqing for a while before going to work!

What is the purpose of a governor who wrote a letter to see a county magistrate?

"At least, this Governor is still a clean official, so he shouldn't be too embarrassed, right?" Thinking about what he had seen and heard along the way, Tian Wenjing knew that the rule of officials in Anhui was far better than many places he had passed. To be able to govern such a poor province as Anhui into what it is today is absolutely impossible for many people to do. However, thinking that he was also a clean official, but he had never been popular, Tian Wenjing didn't have much confidence again. …… The legend of this Master Ma doesn't seem to be popular, so isn't it also a thorn?

……

"Let Tian Daren wait for a long time!"

When Ma De walked to the living room, he saw a middle-aged man of medium stature, who looked a little dry, ordinary enough to throw a brick and knock down a large area, with a slight nervousness in his peaceful expression, a very ordinary person. Ma De didn't see at all that this was a "lonely minister through the ages" who would be attacked by almost all the civil and military officials of his time.

"Xiaguan Tian Wenjing, meet the master of the Taiwan!"

Tian Wenjing was a little surprised when he saw Ma De, although he knew that Ma De was not very old, he still didn't expect Ma De to be so young! At most, he is in his thirties, and it is a little surprising that he has achieved the three-province system at this age! However, surprised to surprised, Ma De's first-grade crane supplement was not a lie, Tian Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up from the chair and gave Ma De a big salute.

"You're welcome. Please take a seat! Motioning for Tian Wenjing to sit down, Ma De smiled again and said to the other party: "Lord Tian has worked hard from afar!" ”

"Don't dare. The fate of the court is in the body, and the subordinate officials dare not say that it is hard! Tian Wenjing said with a debt.

"Hehe, Lord Tian is Gui Geng this year?" Mader smiled and asked again.

"This ...... Huitai people, Xiaguan was born in the first year of Kangxi, and he is forty-one years old this year! Tian Wenjing didn't understand why Ma De asked this, but he still answered the question respectfully.

"Forty-one!" Ma De nodded, and asked again: "I heard that Lord Tian has been a county magistrate in Jiuyan Prefecture for twenty years?" ”

"This ...... The lower officials are stupid, and they are really disappointed by the emperor's grace! Tian Wenjing's expression darkened, and he lowered his head and said.

"Stupid? Ha ha...... Tian Daren's words are not very authentic! Mader laughed.

"...... the Lord?" Is it really to take a note of Ma Wei? Seeing Ma De laughing inexplicably, Tian Wenjing slightly felt that his scalp was a little fried.

"You're still very clean! I sent someone to check, twenty years of county Cheng, your reputation in Jiuyan Prefecture is very good! If it weren't for the fact that you weren't a county magistrate, I'm afraid this 'blue sky' hat would be indispensable. Mader added.

"Your Excellency has won a prize!" Tian Wenjing replied cautiously. Mader's compliments did not reassure him. Speaking of his promotion, it is also interesting. He was originally just an eight-grade county officer, and he was not in the ranks of the Ministry of Officials Examination at all, so it was very difficult to be promoted, and coupled with his stinky temper, it was not too surprising that he could not be promoted after being a county officer for 20 years. However, his promotion this time was the result of the current Jiuyanzhou county magistrate. The county magistrate did not recommend him because of his incorruptibility or talent, but because he looked too closely at him to do whatever he wanted. Who said that the county decree could not be abolished at will? In desperation, I thought of such an idea and wanted to send him away. The result was also coincidental, probably because he had been a county magistrate for 20 years, and the officials took pity on him, so they actually approved the recommendation of the county order and transferred him to Anhui.

"Lord Tian, do you know why I want you to come to see me?" Mader asked again.

"I don't know. Please also show it to the master of the production platform! "Finally got to the point, Tian Wenjing said in his heart.

"Actually, the main reason why Ben Du came to you is ...... I'm afraid your Xuancheng County Order won't be able to do it. Because, Xuancheng County has already sent someone to take over. Mader said.

"What? My lord, this ...... The subordinate official is a transfer from the Ministry of Officials, you do this, ......" Tian Wenjing heard this, and immediately stood up anxiously. Jiuyanzhou is in Shanxi, and he traveled thousands of miles to Anhui, but Ma De told him...... Your official is gone! What is this?

"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry!" Ma De smiled and motioned to Tian Wenjing to be calm, "I know that Lord Tian, you sold ten acres of land to make up enough for the journey, and it is not easy to go back and forth, so although someone has already done the Xuancheng County Order, I don't mean to send you away!" ”

"That'...... I don't know how to place the lower officials? Tian Wenjing asked with a little caution in his fists.

"Lord Tian, look...... How about I give you another county for the time being? Mader thought for a moment and suddenly smiled.

"County?" Tian Wenjing's face changed several times, and it took a long time before he took a deep breath, and slowly hugged his fist to Ma De with a dark face, "Xiaguan, thank you for your kindness!" ”

"Master Tian, it's good that you can accept it! Hahaha......" Madder laughed.

"......" Tian Wenjing stared at him for a while with a gloomy face, and then said to him in a deep voice: "Lord Taiwan is busy with official business, and the lower officials dare not disturb, please retire for the time being." ”

"Don't worry! Lord Tian, this official hasn't finished yet! Ma De saw that Tian Wenjing wanted to leave, and immediately stopped him.

"I don't know what else the Lord of the Taiwan Maker commands?" Tian Wenjing's face was very bad.

"Hehe, Lord Tian, don't blame me for resigning your position as a county magistrate, there is really a reason for this!" Mader said.

"There's a reason?"

"yes." Ma De glanced at Tian Wenjing and said with a smile: "Lord Tian, you have been working in the county for twenty years alone, presumably because of limited ability, I really don't worry about handing over Xuancheng County to you!" I think that even Lord Tian yourself should have this kind of thought, right? Yes? Hahaha......"

"......" Ma De's words were really a little stinging, Tian Wenjing's face turned red all of a sudden, and his expression instantly stiffened.

"Haha...... Tian Daren seems to be a little unhappy? Mader continued to laugh.

"Do you think the lower officials should be happy?" Tian Wenjing asked with resentment, and asked stiffly, the angry look on his face could no longer be hidden, "Xia Guan is just a small seven-rank sesame official, my lord, as a three-province system, don't you think it's ...... Are some too bullying? ”

"You say I bullied you?" Ma De asked with a smile.

"Didn't you do that?" Tian Wenjing stared at Ma De angrily, and said in a loud voice: "Since my lord doesn't like the lower officials, why don't you just dismiss the lower officials, and why do you tease me like this?" ”

"That's a rush! How dare a mere seven-grade official be so rude to this governor? Do you really not want to be an official? Mader sneered.

"Tian Moufu is thin, I'm afraid I can't be a subordinate of the Lord of Taiwan!" Tian Wenjing clenched his fist at Ma De and said coldly.

"Okay, since you think so, then I'll dismiss your county! Anyway, someone else doesn't sit, and someone else wants to sit! Mader sneered.

"Hmph, so, Tian thanked Lord Tai for raising his noble hand and saying goodbye!" Hatefully arching his hand towards Ma De, Tian Wenjing turned around and walked out.

"Did I let you go?" Mader exclaimed suddenly.

"Tian is already clothed, what else does the master want to do?" Tian Wenjing turned around sharply and asked sharply.

"No matter how bad I am, I am also a governor, you are so rude to me, so cheap and want to leave?" Ma De asked with a sneer.

"Lord Making, Tian has never met you, where did he offend you? Why can't you get along with me as soon as we meet? Hearing Ma De say this, Tian Wenjing couldn't hold back any longer, and questioned Ma De sharply.

"Of course I'm going to have trouble with you! With such a big temper, what kind of errand can you do well in my governor's yamen in the future? Mader said slowly.

"I ...... What do you say, sir? Tian Wenjing just wanted to get angry, but his anger was suffocated by Ma De's words!

"Twenty years of county! This is not an ordinary rarity, but a very rare one! Such a rare figure, of course, the Governor can't help but check it out! Ma De glanced at Tian Wenjing leisurely, "Lord Tian, your temper is too hot!" It's really a little joke, and you can't make a joke! ”

"My lord, Tian doesn't know what you mean!" Tian Wenjing looked at Ma De vigilantly and said carefully.

"Lord Tian, you can't really be so sluggish, right? I said, "You will be working in my governor's yamen from now on!" The lord of the governor's yamen, how to say it, is still an official position of the imperial court, and it may not be worse than the seven-grade county order, right? Mader said with a smile.

"Big ...... My lord, do you want to transfer Tian to your governor's palace as the head of the palace? Tian Wenjing asked with some disbelieving.

"That's right! Actually, I didn't mean to take away your official position, the reason is mainly that before the official ministry came, I had already sent someone to take over the Xuancheng County Order...... You can't come, I'll have to call them back, right? That's too impersonal, isn't it? Mader said.

"My lord, that ......"

"What's that? You're just a bad temper. Ma De pointed to Tian Wenjing, and said: "Although the imperial court has official positions such as the chief book in the governor's yamen, I have never used the main book since I was the governor, and you are still the first, so you must seize the opportunity......

"Why did your lord let the subordinate be the head of the governor's yamen?" Tian Wenjing asked suddenly.

"Why? Because you've been a county magistrate for 20 years! …… The county has only eight grades, and it has not yet entered the stream. But that's where you come in. Being in a position at the top is easily deceived by the following. Although I have thought of many ways to prevent this kind of thing from happening since I took office in Anhui, it is difficult to say that everything is absolute because there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. ......" Speaking of this, Ma De glanced at Tian Wenjing again and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are an official like you who has been under the government for 20 years all of a sudden, and you have a good reputation, so I think you should be clear about the ways of those officials below, and you should be able to help if you are put in the yamen, so I plan to transfer you over!" …… Master Tian, don't let me down! ”

"Adult ......"

"Hehe, since it's all decided, you better prepare. Don't worry, as long as you do a good job, I can transfer you to the Inspectorate to have an experience, according to your temper, this official position should be more suitable for you, if you perform well, maybe you can get a job in the future. However, I'll leave it here, if you can't do it well, I can't do anything, you can only go back and be your county governor again! Anyway, you have experience in this, too! Mader continued.

"Thank you, sir! It will live up to the expectations of adults. "When I was transferred, I had just been promoted to the seventh grade, but as soon as I came to the place, I was demoted back to the eighth grade, and then I directly became a flat-headed commoner, but in the blink of an eye, I actually became the master of the governor's yamen, which is from the official position of the sixth grade! Tian Wenjing has been in the same position for 20 years and has not been able to move the nest, neither promoted nor lowered, but this time he has experienced it all, and he feels a little unbelievable! But fortunately, in general, he still moved up another level.

"No thanks. I'll come to the yamen tomorrow to do some work, so you better hurry back and prepare! Mader said.

"Yes! Under...... The next official retires! He saluted Ma De again, and Tian Wenjing slowly retreated with a little dazedness.

"This man's temper is really not very good. It's good to just put it around and observe it first, otherwise you might cause trouble again! Seeing Tian Wenjing retreat, Ma De shook his head and thought. Now he has caught several famous ministers of the Yongzheng Dynasty, but the current situation is still not optimistic! Especially the fourth elder brother is now touring south with Kangxi, and Li Pan and Li Scale's brother Li Wei is also "unemployed" at home...... So, nothing can be relaxed.

……

"I have a bad temper? What's wrong with me? Obviously, he asked me to come to visit, and when we met, he teased me, but in the end, why did he blame me again? …… It's inexplicable! ”

Ma De was thinking about something, and Tian Wenjing, who walked out of the governor's yamen, also came back to his senses. Just like Ma De's opinion of him, this benevolent brother does not have a good opinion of Ma De.
