Chapter 163: The spark ignites Taiyuan
It turned out that He Shen's request for merit, in addition to putting Liu An's name in the second place of the merit excerpt, praised him Liu An greatly...
Moreover, He Shen also suggested to Emperor Qianlong that he be transferred to Beijing to serve in Beijing, and he was promoted and rewarded as an example to inspire many officials in the world.
Liu An is now the prefect of the fifth grade, and he is already the prefect of the first rank, if he is promoted to the first rank, wouldn't he want to become a member of the court from the fourth grade, or even the fourth grade...
In the Qing Dynasty, the promotion of six grades to five grades was one hurdle, and the promotion of five grades to four grades was another hurdle.
Especially the promotion of the fifth grade to the fourth grade, the fifth rank official is still the number one in the state capital, but it can only be regarded as good in the province, and it is nothing in the capital.
But the fourth-grade official is completely different, and the rank of the official, once promoted to the fourth-grade or above, no matter where he is, he is not a small person.
If you can't get over this hurdle, you will never have any hope of being promoted, and you can only wait for your sixties to return to your hometown.
And if He Shen can help Liu An cross this big hurdle, for Liu An, it will be simply rebuilt with Entong, and there is no difference.
"Xiaguan...... The lower official is here, thank you, sir!! ”
After reading this recital, Liu An slammed, knelt in front of He Shen, and said in a trembling voice.
To be honest, Liu An, who is nearly fifty years old, has enough qualifications in his own right, but he doesn't have a strong backstage, so he has been in the position of prefects in various places for ten years...
Liu An, who is nearly fifty years old, has always been in an embarrassing position where he can be promoted, but he can't be promoted.
And this is one of the reasons why He Shen values Liu An so much...
Promoting Liu Anguan to the next level is not difficult for Heshen, and the investment is not large, but the harvest is many...
By doing this, He Shen can not only accept Liu An for his own use and have a good helper, but also get Liu An's contacts in the local area for so many years, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone...
Since Liu An is so knowledgeable, then He Shen doesn't mind and pulls him along.
Seeing Liu An's grateful look, He Shen smiled slightly and said, "This official estimates, when you finish the affairs of Taiyuan Mansion, the emperor's will for you is estimated to be coming..."
"At that time, you will be promoted to one level, at least you will be a high-ranking official of the imperial court from the fourth grade, and you will no longer have to be in the position of the prefect, and you will not be able to go up and down..."
Liu An, hearing this, hurriedly said: "My lord, no matter what position the subordinate holds, he will definitely take the lead of the adult to repay the kindness of the adult. ”
Liu An's words, in the officialdom, are already clearly expressing his intention to take refuge in He Shen.
He Shen patted Liu An's shoulder with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, get up, you know, this official doesn't like these false courtesies..."
"However, when you become an official in Beijing in the future, you must remember what you are saying now..."
“………………”
"Xia Guan understands that he will not disappoint you in the future."
After Liu An saw this merit, his attitude towards He Shen became even more respectful.
Seeing Liu An's appearance, He Shen waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's talk about it today, you go and do things first." ”
Liu An was slightly stunned, but still bowed down and said, "Then the official has left." ”
“……………………”
Di Bao was copied, a big effort to extinguish the locust plague, known to the world, which also made people remember a young high-ranking official named He Shen!
This person's ability is terrifying, his temperament is overwhelming, and what is even more terrifying is that this person is just a teenager in his early twenties.
Such an amazing Tianjiao official is enough to make the subjects of the world gasp.
This person's future in officialdom is almost unimaginable...
“……………”
Taiyuan Mansion...
He Shen is about to leave, and he will return to the capital to accept the summons of Emperor Qianlong.
Night.
The officials of Taiyuan Mansion had already gotten up, bathed and changed their clothes, and cleaned up almost as soon as they watched.
Liu An, the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, got up earlier, because he hadn't slept all night, obviously, he had been waiting here...
The same is true of the other officials of Taiyuan Mansion!
The people are also ready early...
“……………”
The human heart is made of flesh...
Heshen, who solved the drought and locust plague in Taiyuan, in a sense, is the life-saving benefactor who saved everyone in Taiyuan.
“……………”
Morning.
The sky was so dark that there was no light in sight, and the clouds were so dark that the sky was blackened, and the moon and stars were invisible...
The north wind is howling, the wind is sweeping, like a knife rain, and the cold wind is biting...
Liu An tonight, wearing a unicorn suit given by the ministry.
Liu An, as a prefect, served as a locality, guarded the land of a government, and in order to show the power of Chaoyan that he represented, he often gave Chaoyan imperial official uniforms...
Usually, Liu An is reluctant to wear this imperial unicorn suit, but today he is wearing it neatly.
He came out of his mansion, and the wind seemed to be about to puff up his imperial unicorn suit, and the sleeves of his coat were rolled up...
Against the strong wind, He Shen and many officials have arrived at the gate of Taiyuan Mansion...
At the gate of Taiyuan Mansion, many lanterns have already been lit.
The people of all the offices and divisions of Taiyuan Mansion actually came...
On the lantern, there are words such as "Prefect", "Fucheng", "Terracotta Division" and so on.
The hundreds of officials of Taiyuan Mansion, braving the howling wind, gathered here, and Liu An felt a lot of emotion in his heart...
Suddenly, the middle gate of Taiyuan City was opened, and everyone didn't have time to think about it, so they saw Heshen's frame, slowly coming out of the gate, and all of a sudden, all their thoughts disappeared.
Dozens of people from the Contextual Wu Family stepped forward one after another and saluted to He Shen...
Seeing this, He Shen was silent for a long time, with mixed feelings in his heart, and after a long time, he bent down and solemnly returned the salute.
“…………”
The carriage of the guard of honor with Shen walked slowly, and in the dark night, it walked through familiar towns and villages...
Originally, both sides of the official road were full of fields, and there were no people, so it should be dark in the dark night.
However, through the car window, He Shen saw a spark burning on the plain.
Although the light of this fire was small, it was by no means the fire of a lantern nearby, but a slight spark, flashing in the dark field in the direction of the capital.
In the field in the distance, the fire suddenly jumped, and then it became several fire points, and then dozens of fire points, hundreds of fire points, or even thousands, tens of thousands of fire points...
“…………………”
The dense fire points are connected into one piece, and countless fire points are extended and meandering, connecting into a complex and long line of fire.
A whole boundless fire dragon appeared in the official road, and because of the folding and ghosting characteristics of the fire itself, the strong wind moved slightly, and a sea of fire was immediately formed.
From a distance, this entire official road seems to be cast like firelight.
A fire point is a person, and countless fire points are countless people...
There are more and more people in the mighty world, gathering together to form a sea of people and a sea of fire...
Under the dark starless and moonless sky, the wind swept the wind and clouds, and on both sides of the blurred official road, there were figures one after another...
These figures, standing on both sides of the official road in Taiyuan, can't see their faces clearly, but these people are the people of Taiyuan Mansion...
Many, many people want to try their best to take a few steps forward, and want to see their heart-saving benefactor again, Heshen and Lord...
However, they seemed extremely rational, for fear of blocking Heshen's way and delaying Heshen's affairs.
So, they are in a dilemma, they are not, they are not...
Next to the official road, there are countless people...
He Shen opened the window of the carriage and looked at the crowd next to the official road, the familiar faces.
He knew that these were the people who had suffered together with him in the locust plague...
Some people whispered, "Walk slowly with your lords." ”
"And adults for thousands of generations, forever."
In the crowd of people, there will always be uncontrollable voices of advice, which continue to sound!
“………………”
There are more and more people next to the official road, and the people in the sea of people have not crossed the thunder pond by half a step...
They were saddened by the loss of this great benefactor, and at the same time, they were moved by the kindness of Heshen...
The people's demands have always been very simple, they just want to live a plain and happy life, and the funny thing is that such a simple wish cannot be realized at all in the feudal era.
Day 2!
Early in the morning, the sun is out!
The rising sun is shining in all directions, the dew is sparkling on the lawn around you, and the breeze blows the fragrance of the earth...
As Linjing City got closer and closer, He Shen's brows became tighter and tighter, and his mood became more and more complicated.
The reason for the tension is that the situation in the capital is different from that of Taiyuan Mansion, in the territory of Taiyuan Mansion, He Shen, as a Qincha, inspected the place on behalf of Emperor Qianlong, and there are almost no forces that can threaten him...
The only locust temple and others who could use the locust plague to target him were also eliminated by him in advance.
“………”
However, the capital is different, there is a feudal period, an emperor who holds supreme power, and countless political enemies...
Every political enemy can pose a great threat to Heshen, and every political enemy is not something that Heshen can easily deal with...
Even, even the ordinary people living in the capital, because they have lived in the center of the capital for a long time and are well-informed, are not as easy to fool as the people of Taiyuan Mansion.
Although He Shen is well aware of these threats, he must also be cautious, like a wisp of thin ice...
In the face of the capital, there is a pool of muddy water with intricate cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, as well as intertwined and intertwined forces...
Even if He Shen is the soul of the Demon Ancestor Yang Jian, he can only take it step by step, be careful, and if he is not careful, he may be doomed.
