eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 262 Another Competitor

Wang Qiong also did a good job in Zhejiang.He is now the governor of Zhejiang, just one step away from the governor.

What happened in Zhejiang is probably a good aftermath.

Several families were copied, dozens of officials were arrested, and hundreds of people were killed. The Shaofu of the imperial court took over the shops and began to sell them again.The movement seems to be not small, but as long as the social order is not in chaos and the government structure is not in chaos, everything can work quickly again.

After the first month of the 18th year of Hongzhi, Wang Qiong officially took office. Soon after, he was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang Province and also served as the chief envoy, with administrative and military powers added to him.

So first stabilize the spring plowing, and attack the bandits who want to make trouble at this time.

On the other hand, he learned the lesson of the former official who abandoned Mei Kejia when he was deeply involved in the land, and chose to repair each other with Mei Kejia, because he knew that repairing with this person means repairing with the palace. What are you scolding, he is the governor of Zhejiang, and there are soldiers in the governor's yamen, are you afraid he is a bird?

Mei Kejia did it by selling silk.

Therefore, the Zhejiang government encouraged the people to change rice into mulberry, and encouraged the operation of silk workshops.

In this way, the society is stable, the spring plowing is smooth, and the business is restored. It didn't take long for Hangzhou City to regain its vitality.

As for those undercurrents turbulent underground, or criminal officials and criminal businessmen who slipped through the net and want to take revenge, this account can never be counted on his head.

Wang Qiong has been staring closely at Mei Kejia's face. This businessman is too thoughtful and will not reveal anything unless it is a major event, but at this moment he can see the shock.

It is impossible to speak!

Mei Kejia was speechless for a while,

"The imperial court wants to set up a governor of Zhejiang and Fujian?" Mei Kejia was shocked after reading.

As he said that, he strode back to the desk to get something, and showed it generously in front of Mei Kejia.

The ability of Wang Qiong, a pragmatic and shameless official, began to show, and then the father-in-law in the palace also gave some things, and the officials who could be obtained in Beijing also flattered him.
Except for the fact that Peng Ze, who is the envoy and drops his bookbags all day long, wants to get angry with him, he is living a very good life now.

In his impression, the emperor always made decisions before acting, with a strong purpose, and would never give orders out of nowhere.Even if it was his return to Beijing.

What Wang Qiong raised is actually a very crucial question.

"Report to my lord! The letter from Eunuch Gu said it was delivered urgently by the supervisor of ceremonies, please read it as soon as you receive it!"

The servant was helpless, and raised his voice again.

And to be more realistic, without the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, he could still make a decision in Zhejiang. With the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, wouldn't he be put in shackles?
So being an official is sometimes the same as studying - if you don't advance, you will retreat.

So Wang Qiong knew that there should be something going on here!
"Boss Mei, what do you mean by saying that the Supervisor of Rites suddenly gave me this horoscope? Would you like to help me with the details?"

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "... I'll see, the Supervisor of Rituals wants Zhong Cheng to try?"

"It's hard to say. You are in Zhejiang, but you have cut off your wealth. Cutting off your wealth is like killing your parents. You listen to me. If the court asks, just say that I forced it. I will take care of it. "Wang Qiong then gave him another step and said: "It's not all about you. You came out from Zhejiang. What happened to you? Does Your Majesty have to trouble me? You don't care about your head, I can't Cherish it!"

In just a moment, Mei Kejia felt a chill down his back.If he hadn't thought about it for a while, maybe he didn't even know where the cause of death was!

After much deliberation, he set his sights on Mei Kejia again.Mei Kejia came to Beijing to meet the emperor, right?

But for a cunning person like Wang Qiong, there is nothing wrong with him, so why would he take responsibility for you?
He is not his own mother, so he must have something to ask for.

"This time I went to Beijing, traveling thousands of miles, the journey is long. I don't have anything to say, so I will assign a team of my guards to accompany me all the way."

"It's okay to try. But other than these eight words, don't say anything. How can I try this as an official? Where can I try? There is no Tatar here. There must be a reason for the imperial court to set up a governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. If I want to be as desperate as Yang Yiqing, it's nothing, but who is the enemy?" Wang Qiong admitted that he wanted to be promoted, completely without the cowardly attitude of ordinary scholars.

The bigwigs in Beijing should all know about it, so they went about their own activities, but even if he tried his best to pay the supervisor, he had to deliver it urgently, and it would take seven or eight days anyway.

I really don't know how such a foreign object appeared in the scholar.

"Zhongcheng." Mei Kejia stood up and replied politely.

"The next businessman has no official position, how would he know?" Mei Kejia looked directly into those tortured eyes, his heart still not fluctuating.

Mei Kejia calmed down slowly. He didn't know the relationship between Wang Qiong and the Supervisor of Rites, but there was some way to have this character.

If the supervisor of ceremonies can come, it means that the money he sent by Wang Qiong is not in vain.

The real factor is that the emperor wants to launch a "general attack" in Zhejiang and Fujian, so let him meet his family before that!

Mei Kejia realized that this was a wooing talk.

"Is there anything Zhongcheng needs to do?"

It was today that Mei Kejia came to the door and said that he was going back to Beijing, which surprised Wang Qiong.

"On this point, maybe Zhongcheng can use his relationship to inquire further?"

At the end of April and the beginning of May, why did you suddenly return to Beijing?
Mei Kejia didn't want to explain too much, because it involved some secrets between him and Zhu Houzhao, who was still the crown prince, and only said: the imperial decree promised to return to Beijing to visit relatives.

Mei Kejia was flattered, "I'm a businessman, and I can't even wear silk. How dare I use the guards that Zhongcheng is worthy of? Zhongcheng is about to break my heart. Besides, the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, the country is peaceful, the people are safe, and the four directions are stable. Trust me, there will be no problem."

"Zhongcheng has outstanding ability and works for the king and the people. Even if he can't do it this time, he will do it in the future. It's not impossible to even join the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister."

Mei Kejia's heartbeat also started to speed up.

But this draw is very level, because in this respect, their interests co-exist.Wang Qiong has been here for less than half a year and has just settled down. To be honest, he doesn't want to curry favor with a new person anymore.

Mei Kejia felt that since this person was able to get this information from the Supervisor of Rituals, it meant that he had a good relationship, but he didn't know that the reason for the good relationship was to break the sea ban, that is to say...

The contents of the letter are simple, eight words: the imperial court intends to set up a governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.

Wang Qiong narrowed his eyes, "You don't know?"

No wonder the emperor wanted to allow him to return to Beijing to visit his relatives at this time.

"Boss Mei, please forgive me. How about I read the letter from the Supervisor of Rites?"

Mei Kejia raised his hand, "Please come, Zhong Cheng."

Wang Qiong was deeply moved after reading it. He is 46 years old this year, and he is in the position of governor. He is in charge of a province.As long as you are wasting your time, you can hit [-] with a nap, and you will know your destiny at that moment!
After all, Yang Yiqing's opportunities and military achievements are not available to everyone.In particular, he himself knows that his official reputation is not good. If he doesn't work hard to fight for it, he probably won't be able to see the Forbidden City a few times in his life.

In the end, Wang Qiong was reprimanded: "The voice is too low to hear!"

As soon as Mei Kejia said this, Wang Qiong felt comfortable. It was different from talking smartly, and people could catch the words.

"Zhongcheng, but the supervisor of ceremonies..." Midway through speaking, Mei Kejia seemed to wake up suddenly, "Zhongcheng made an atonement, I made a slip of the tongue."

Therefore, the recent memorials to Zhejiang have all been successful.

"I can't hear you! Only Boss Mei is here, no outsiders, please speak up!"

"I don't think about joining the cabinet. I just talk about things in Zhejiang, Boss Mei. There was a lot of turmoil in Zhejiang before. If you don't like it, I don't like it either. After I come, everything should be very different. Right? So as long as I'm here, Boss Mei, you don't have to worry about anything."

Poor information.

What does this have to do with Huaixiao and Huaiyan, even if it is, it is an incidental factor.

"Don't lose your word, don't lose your word." Wang Qiong patted his arm, "What is there between you and me? I didn't avoid you, and you shouldn't avoid me. This letter, you can read it !"

As for the letter from the Supervisor of Rituals... the meaning is also very clear, that is, the candidate has not yet been decided.

Why undecided?
Showing that he also has a chance?It should be the governor of Zhejiang, and one step further is the governor.How can you say there is no chance at all?
Wang Qiong walked back and forth with her hands behind her back, feeling a little anxious in her heart. At this moment, she could see the difference between Beijing officials and local officials.

Wang Qiong didn't get what he wanted, so he could only laugh and laugh at himself, "Yes, yes. I'm an old fool. However, Boss Mei thinks, is there any hope for me?"

"Boss Mei,"

Wang Qiong couldn't see the depth of Mei Kejia. After the Spring Festival, if you want to visit relatives, you have to return to Beijing before the festival.

But at this moment, servants from the mansion came over and talked into his ears.

Gu Dayong was sent to Zhejiang by the emperor. There are too many old foxes here. Zhu Houzhao thought that there must be an honest person to tell him the truth, not 100%, at least most of the truth.

Mei Kejia lowered his head and smiled slightly. The Wang Qiong sent by the emperor is quite interesting. He is smart and cunning, a little shameless but seems to be very righteous. He knows a little about all kinds of religions but is a scholar, and you said he knows how to do things. Official, seemingly smooth but also directly express dissatisfaction with some people he doesn't like.

Wang Qiong could see clearly that what the imperial court wanted in Zhejiang was silver, and what His Majesty wanted in Zhejiang was the stability of the people.If he does these two things well, Zhejiang will not be chaotic, and his black hat will be very stable.

I told him this, but I didn't agree to it as if I wanted his life.

"It's nothing. About the Zhejiang matter, Boss Mei, just report it truthfully."

Oh... Mei Kejia understood, this is for him to speak well in front of the emperor.

"I'm a servant who speaks lightly, so it's not surprising that I still look to the Prime Minister."

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Qiong was delighted. His words were worth a hundred.Because he is in Zhejiang, his words... the emperor is the easiest to believe.

So he said with a smile: "Don't blame me...you and I will do our best and understand each other."
