In late August, Zhang Xun entered the Yimeng Mountains again, this time to create a long scroll. It turned out that a few days ago, the Yimeng Landscape Scenic Area was officially completed, and Zhang Xun was thinking about how to promote it, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. As soon as "Yimeng Landscape Map" came out, there was no need for publicity, and the world knew it.

For two whole months, Zhang Xun's footprints were all over the Yimeng Mountains, and everywhere he went, Zhang Xun was fully integrated into the nature of heaven and earth, and there was only this landscape in his eyes. The pen turns at will, and Zhang Xun has reached the realm of "the unity of heaven and man" when painting. In these two months, Zhang Xun was completely selfless except for maintaining basic survival needs, and he had only one belief in his heart, which completely showed the harmonious scene of Yimeng landscape and villagers living and working here in peace and contentment. When Zhang Xun finally stamped the painting, the Yimeng Mountains rose with ten thousand rays of light. Zhang Xun knew that he was done. The literary qi came from all directions, making Zhang Xun's consciousness clear and exhausted.

The holy voice came from the sky again: "The original saint raised people in front of Laiwu Zhang Xun, and did his best for two months, and worked hard." The creation of a huge scroll "Yimeng Landscape Map", Zhang Xun's peerless works in the past three years have been frequent, in order to praise his merits, he was specially given the title of "Bachelor of Painting", and gave the title of "Grandmaster of Painting". ”

King Lu was sitting on the king's chair in the Qinzheng Palace, and Deng Yiwei, the general judge of Zibo Prefecture, was impeaching Zhang Xun, the commander of Yiyuan County, for several major crimes: "First, conniving at his wife and concubine to operate the Zuixian Mansion and competing with the people for profit; second, threatening businessmen and forcibly apportioning huge expenses to build the Yiyuan Canal, a political achievement project, for them; third, after the drought, forcibly retaining 50,000 people, seriously affecting the development of neighboring counties; and fourth, leaving his post without authorization, he was absent from the county government for two months or as short as a week. King Lu couldn't listen anymore, and then the holy voice sounded, and it was finally clear. As soon as Deng Yiwei heard the holy sound, he vomited blood and fainted to the ground. King Lu looked at Manager Hu, and Manager Hu called two little eunuchs to carry Deng Yiwei out for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat. King Lu said: "Wang Xingwu, the servant of the ministry, is out of the ranks. After Wang Xingwu came out of the ranks, King Lu said: "The widow named you as a messenger, go to Yiyuan to assess Zhang Xun's performance after taking office in Yiyuan, and if you are qualified, Zhang Xun will be immediately promoted to Zibo General Judge." As for the post of Yiyuan County Commander, it was appointed by the Zibo Prefecture itself. Wang Xingwu replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhang Xun immediately rushed back to the backyard of the county government, but fortunately, he finally rushed back before Xinlan gave birth. Knowing that Xinlan would not give birth for the time being, Zhang Xun went to the bathroom and quickly took a shower to clean himself up. At noon, I fed Xinlan some porridge, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Xinlan showed signs of going to give birth, and Zhang Xun immediately went to the next door to call Wen Po over. Zhang Xun waited anxiously outside the door, and after half an hour, he only heard the sound of crying, and after a while, Wen Po came out to report the good news to Zhang Xun: "Congratulations to Lord Zhang, mother and son are safe." Zhang Xun gave Wen Po a big red envelope and walked into the room. Seeing Xin Lan lying on the bed who was very weak but with a happy smile on her face, Zhang Xun stepped forward and gently held Xin Lan's little hand and said, "Xin Lan, thank you for your hard work." At this time, Bihe came up with the newborn baby in her arms and said, "Lord and Madam, you see how lovely this child is. After Zhang Xun and Xinlan saw the child, Bihe put the child back in the cradle. Xin Lan said: "Husband, you can name the child!" Zhang Xun said: "I have already thought about it, how about my son be called Zhang Xing?" Xin Lan said: "Zhang Xing, a good name, that's it." ”

On the second day, Zhang Xun was taking care of Xinlan in Xinlan's room, and Bihe came in and said, "Master, Master Li is waiting for you outside." Zhang Xun said: "Then you take good care of Xinlan, I'll go out and have a look." Seeing Master Li, Master Li said: "Zhang County, Lord Wang, the servant of the Qin Mission, has arrived at the post station five kilometers outside the city gate, let's go to meet it together." Zhang Xun nodded and said, "Let's go, Lord Wang is an old acquaintance, he is here, I have to go to greet him." ”

When I came to the city gate, Zeng Xiancheng was already here. Soon, I saw a carriage driving towards the city gate, and when I saw the style of the carriage, I knew that Lord Wang was coming. The carriage stopped, Zhang Xun and the three of them went up, and after Lord Wang got out of the car, Zhang Xun bowed and said, "Zhang Xun has seen Lord Wang. Lord Wang has worked hard all the way!" Subsequently, Zeng Xiancheng and Master Li also bowed. Lord Wang said: "Go to the county government first, Zhang Xun, you take my carriage." So he got into the carriage. Zhang Xun followed Lord Wang's carriage, and Lord Wang said: "Your Majesty asked me to come this time mainly to assess your performance in Yiyuan County, just have a number in your heart." In addition, do you have any candidates to take over the Yiyuan County Order?" Zhang Xun said: "The lower officials will think about it and report the candidates to the adults tomorrow." Lord Wang said, "Okay, I'll stay in Yiyuan for a week." Just tell me in the meantime. In addition, because you have the title of "Grandmaster of Painting Dao" this time, the Hanlin Academy will send a great Confucian to give you clothes and badges, and you will welcome you at this time tomorrow. ”

When he came to the Yiyuan County Office, Mr. Wang talked to Zeng Xiancheng and Li Zhushu respectively, and asked them about their evaluation of Zhang Xun's performance after he took office as the Yiyuan County Commander. (Although Lord Wang's trip to Yiyuan this time is just a formality, it should be like that.) Zeng Xiancheng and Master Li both told the truth, and said to Lord Wang that if they asked about Zhang County on the street, they would only say that Zhang County was good. Mr. Wang really went to ask some people, especially those who had donated money to the Yiyuan Canal project and the hungry people who had come from Yinan, and made detailed records and asked them to sign and draw for confirmation.

Zhang Xun went to the city gate to greet Qiao Wuliang, the vice president of the Hanlin Academy, Qiao Lao, the great Confucian is the highest literary position, of course Zhang Xun is very respectful. When Qiao Lao saw the original work of "Yimeng Landscape Map" in Zhang Xun's study, he was simply amazed, and it took a long time to regain his calm. As one of the few great Confucians in the Lu Kingdom, Qiao Lao's cultivation is naturally extremely high, so Zhang Xun is willing to miss this rare opportunity. After asking Qiao Lao for advice, Zhang Xun benefited a lot.

Seeing off Qiao Lao, Zhang looked for Zeng County Cheng and Li Zhushu and said: "Three provinces, Mingming, I am about to leave Yiyuan and go to Zibo Mansion to serve as a general judge, Lord Wang wants me to recommend a successor, I am very embarrassed! Both of you have helped me a lot since I took office in Yiyuan." I thought about it, but I called you here, and you discussed it yourself. Zeng Xiancheng and Master Li said: "Congratulations to Master Zhang for his promotion." "This Zeng County Cheng and Master Li have worked together in Yiyuan County for many years, and their relationship is also very good on weekdays, which is also the reason why Zhang Xun let them discuss it by themselves. The two thought for a while, and Zeng Xiancheng said: "Lord Zhang, it's better to let Mingliang take over the post of Yiyuan County Commander." Xia Guan has always been in charge of armament and public security, and he is not familiar with other affairs, so it is not suitable to be a county order. Zhang Xun said again: "Okay, you can discuss it, and I will let Jinsong take up the position of the bright chief bookkeeper." ”

Lord Wang stayed in Yiyuan for a few days, and he had asked everything he should ask, so he went to Zibo Mansion to ask Governor Yu what he thought of his subordinate Yiyuan Zhang Xun. The prefect of Yu had a good impression of Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun helped a lot in this year's drought, and the evaluation was naturally very good. After listening to this, Lord Wang said to Governor Yu: "Zhang Xun is about to be promoted to the general judge of Zibo, and this official believes that with the cooperation of the two of you, Zibo's tomorrow will be better! This is also Your Majesty's expectation, I hope you will live up to the king's grace, make new contributions to Your Majesty, and make new contributions to the country." Yu Zhifu replied: "Yu Weiguo, the prefect of Zibo, will live up to the king's grace, unite sincerely with Zhang Xun and Zhang Tongju, govern Zibo Mansion well, and share worries and burdens for His Majesty." Lord Wang first nodded, and then said, "Then the official will return to the capital and report to His Majesty." "Governor Yu sent Lord Wang out of the Zibo City Gate, and Lord Wang returned to Yiyuan again. Lord Wang called Zhang Xun and asked him to go to Zibo in three days to take up his post. Zhang Xun nodded his head and then handed over the "Yimeng Landscape Map" to Lord Wang and asked him to transfer it on his behalf and dedicate it to His Majesty. Lord Wang bowed down to take it, put it in the carriage and said to Zhang Xun: "Then the official will return to the capital, so don't send it." Zhang Xunmu sent Lord Wang away.

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Xun and Li Mingliang handled the handover, and Li Mingliang then handed over the post of chief bookkeeper to Jiang Jinsong. After everything was done, the new Yiyuan County Commander Li Mingliang respectfully bowed to Zhang Xun and said, "Thank you Lord Zhang for your contribution to Yiyuan, and please invite Lord Zhang to the banquet." On behalf of the people of Yiyuan, let me express my gratitude to Master Zhang. Zhang Xun replied: "Then it's still Baifu Building, or the seven of us." ”

At noon, in the largest private room on the third floor of Baifu Building, Zhang Xun and other seven people gathered together again. When the wine and food came up, Li Mingliang took the lead in raising a glass and the six people toasted Zhang Xun together and congratulated Gao Sheng. Zhang Xun drank it all, and then said affectionately: "It has been more than a year since I took office as the county magistrate of Yiyuan County in March last year. Over the past year or so, I have done my best with you to contribute wisdom or money or efforts to the development of Yiyuan, coupled with the support and support of the people, so that Yiyuan is now thriving. I have already left office, although I was promoted to Zibo to make a general judgment, and I am in charge of Yiyuan, but after all, I can't devote myself to it like you. All this is not easy, and I hope you will cherish it!" Li County Ling said: "Please rest assured that Lord Zhang, we will definitely live up to Lord Zhang's expectations, live up to the trust of the people of the county, and do our best for the development of Yiyuan." After finishing the business, the atmosphere changed, and the cup was changed.

Back in the backyard of the county office, Bihe and Yuchan were sorting out their belongings, and Zhang Xun didn't care about it without too much of anything. I first went to Xinlan's room to look at Xiao Zhang Xing, and asked Xinlan, "Xinlan, is your health better now?" Xinlan replied: "Husband, I am much better, I can watch my children grow up healthily day by day, what is a little fatigue." Zhang Xun said: "Then you have a good rest, and I'll go see Wen Xin again." Xin Lan nodded and said, "Sister Wen Xin is also more than five months pregnant now, so she has to take good care of her." Husband, go!" Zhang Xun came to Wen Xin's room, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he smiled. It turned out that Wen Xin was touching his belly with one hand, and he told the fetus in his womb the story of his father helping his mother seize the oiran.

The next day, Zhang Xun and the four daughters got into a carriage and went to Zibo Mansion, and when they arrived at the city gate, the carriage stopped. Zhang Xun looked outside, and it turned out that the people spontaneously came to see him off. Seeing the big umbrella with a dense name, Zhang Xun knew that this was the Wanmin umbrella. Zhang Xun bowed deeply to the people and said: "Zhang Xun has just entered the officialdom, and thanks to everyone's support in Yiyuan, he can show what he has learned and display his ambitions. Zhang Xun thanked everyone for seeing me off, and Zhang Xun will always remember everyone's support and encouragement. It's cold, let's go home and rest! Zhang Xun is gone, and I will come to visit you in the future. ”
