Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 135 The new official iron face, the emperor ruled Gan disease

"Eunuch Guo, what do you mean?" Xu Yuangai frowned slightly, looking very puzzled.

Yunniang looked at Xu Yuangai as if she had some understanding, but seeing that Xu Yuangai couldn't comprehend Eunuch Guo's words at all, she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand and smiling.

"Lord Song, farewell!" Guo Yong was too lazy to point out directly, so he left here with his entourage.

Song Cheng knew that Guo Yong had to come to this dilapidated place because he left the office ahead of time, so he cupped his hands at Guo Yong with some apology and said, "Eunuch Guo, go slowly!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Song for his promotion!"

"It's still called Master Song, this is our Lord Fuyin!"

"I don't know that today is Mrs. Fu Yin's birthday, so I'll cut off a few more catties of good meat!"

……

When the people in the courtyard saw Guo Yong leading his entourage away, Dang Lian enthusiastically surrounded him, talking in a hurry.

Not to mention that officials of the third grade are already unattainable existences, and now they are all living in Beijing, and they are managed by the Shuntian government office.

Now that there is such a good opportunity to hug her thigh, if you don't rush to curry favor, you are really stupid.

Song Cheng can clearly understand the details of the case, but he immediately becomes overwhelmed when faced with the neighbors who suddenly become tens of times more enthusiastic.

Yunniang gets along well with her neighbors, she also understands human relations, she politely declined those neighbors who wanted to give gifts: "Mr. I work in the Tianfu Yamen, so this house will not be rented anymore! Even if the gift is received, there is nowhere to put it now, and now I just hope that when we move in a few days, you can help!"

"Naturally, we will be there!" The neighbor naturally agreed to this small request.

Xu Yuangai was still thinking about Yunniang's beauty at first, but seeing Yunniang's current appearance in the crowd, he couldn't help but feel bored.

No matter how unwilling he is, how much he never forgets Yunniang, but Song Cheng, who has always been looked down upon by him, has been promoted to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and his own is getting more and more elusive.

"Mr. Xu, stop!" Song Cheng suddenly stopped when he saw Xu Yuangai turning around to leave.

Xiaotao, who was busy, saw Song Cheng calling Xu Yuangai to stop, but she looked over with a bit of bewilderment. She didn't understand why the uncle would talk to Mr. Xu who was plotting against the young lady.

Xu Yuangai held his father under his cover, and said with a fake smile: "Master Song, what can you do?"

"I heard that you drank with Zhu Lin in the Jiaofang Division last night, can this happen?" Song Cheng quickly entered a new role, and asked seriously.

Xu Yuangai frowned, and said sarcastically: "Master Song, you haven't taken office yet, so you want to handle Zhu Qi's case to please His Majesty?"

"This case has nothing to do with His Majesty, and His Majesty did not specifically ask me to re-examine the case. It's all just speculation. Since I want to take over the post of Governor of Shuntian, I naturally have to investigate the Secretary of the Jiaofang. For the case, give justice to the deceased!" Song Cheng had his own pursuit, and Dang even expressed his stance honestly.

Regardless of whether there is the will of the emperor, it is now a major case of human life. Even if it is an official prostitute, he must get to the bottom of it, so as to bring the murderer to justice.

If he couldn't intervene earlier because he was only the young minister of Dali Temple, but now that he has been appointed by the emperor as the governor of Shuntian Fu, it is natural to seek justice for the deceased.

During lunch at Dali Temple today, I heard someone talking about Xu Yuangai drinking with Zhu Lin last night. Since I met Xu Yuangai here, I naturally wanted to ask clearly.

Xu Yuangai felt Song Cheng's will to investigate this case, but he responded arrogantly: "Whom I drink with is my business, you have no business with me!"

"If you don't entertain the truth now, then we will have to meet at the Tianfu Yamen!" Song Cheng guessed that Xu Yuangai was there last night, so he said with a bright attitude.

Xu Yuangai knew that this person really has this ability now, so he said angrily: "That's right, I drank with Zhu Qi in Jiaofangsi last night, what does this mean? If you suspect that it was my fault, then Bring out the evidence, otherwise you will never want to pour dirty water on me!"

"Apart from the two of you, was there anyone else?" Song Cheng asked calmly, ignoring Xu Yuangai's arrogance.

Xu Yuangai found that the black wood was really scary, so he threatened: "At that time, there were only me and Zhu Qi! If you want to investigate, you can do it slowly, but don't blame me for not warning you, the water here is enough to drown you !"

As he said that, he didn't intend to pay attention to Song Cheng, and immediately turned around and left here.

His mood at the moment is very conflicted. He is worried that Song Cheng will dig deep into this case and find out some shady things, but he also expects Song Cheng to dig deep into this case and be drowned.

Without the protection of the emperor, a small Shuntian governor would be no different from an ant, and Wu Qi had positioned himself very accurately.

Huh?
Song Cheng looked at the back of Xu Yuangai's escape, and vaguely felt that this case seemed not simple, at least the Funinghou Mansion could not drown him.

"Husband, you haven't taken office yet!" Yunniang reminded with resentment when she appeared behind her.

Song Cheng found out that his current case was really unfair, so he made a decision and said: "Yes, I am now... no, tomorrow I will go to the Shuntian government office to take up my post!"

"You are going to be the palm seal officer this time, and you will take the bronze seal of Shuntian Mansion, so the appointment depends on the auspicious time and auspicious day, how can you say that tomorrow is tomorrow!" Yun Niang knew the rules of officials, and she just blamed her explained clearly.

Song Cheng frowned slightly, but shook his head seriously and said, "You can't delay taking office! We must arrange for an assistant to conduct an autopsy and on-site investigation as soon as possible, otherwise this case may become a headless case. I must take office tomorrow to handle this case!"

"Since my husband insists on this, let's go to the Town God's Temple right now! According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, one must worship and stay overnight at the Town God's Temple to be appointed as the governor of a government office, and then take up the post tomorrow!" Yun Niang understood her husband's temperament, and immediately came up with an idea.

Song Cheng was about to nod, but he suddenly reacted and said, "Today is your birthday..."

"It's enough to have you by my side! Xiaotao, let's pack up and accompany the master to stay overnight at the Town God's Temple tonight!" Yunniang smiled, then turned her head and told her maid.

Xiaotao didn't expect to leave suddenly, but she knew that Miss was a person who could make up her mind, so she nodded and ran into the house to pack her clothes.

The neighbors didn't understand why Song Cheng hurried to the Town God's Temple, but learned from Yunniang that he wanted to take office as soon as possible to solve the case, and hurried to help arrange the carriage.

Dimly, they felt that Shuntian Mansion really had a good official who could be the master for the people.

Since Shuntian Fu Yin is the nominal manager of Beijing, it has attracted widespread attention from the people of the capital, causing the news to quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"Song Cheng, that black-faced young man?"

"If it's him, it's really troublesome!"

"It's more than a nuisance, this person is simply reckless!"

……

After learning that the new governor of Shuntian Prefecture is Song Cheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, some people immediately panicked.

No matter what Zhu Youtang's true inner thoughts are, with the emergence of conspiracy theories, people in Funinghoufu and other Wu Xun are already in panic.In particular, they have always maintained their status as superior to others, and they have indeed done some shady things.

Once these things are found out, not to mention whether it will affect the entire Marquis Mansion, they will definitely lose their heads, so everyone in the Marquis Mansions will be in danger.

Just like this, after learning that Song Cheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, took over as Shuntian Fu Yin, and learning about Song Cheng's character, Wu Xun in the entire capital became uneasy.

Dashi Yongfang, Wangfu.

This palace is not that palace, but a family surnamed Wang, but this family is also considered extraordinary. The owner of this house is Wang Hua, the number one scholar in Chenghua for 17 years.

Wang Hua was born in a famous family, a family of officials in Yuyao, Zhejiang, and his ancestor is said to be the famous Wang Xizhi.

Although he has the gift of photographic memory, the chance of the imperial examination is too great, and the rural examination has repeatedly failed. It was not until the age of 34 that he was No. 1 in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provincial examinations (later he was demoted to the second because he thanked the examiner for wearing white clothes).

For a 34-year-old Juren, the prospects are often already greatly reduced. Who knows that it will take several years to get a Jinshi and rank, and the difficulty of the examination is also not small.

It's just that life is so magical sometimes. A scholar who has failed many times has experienced a fantastic year. Wang Hua won the No. [-] Scholar in the capital the following year, and it can be said that he soared into the sky.

Since he was relatively free in the Imperial Academy, and he entered the official career later, he devoted more time to his eldest son Wang Shouren.

Once, Wang Shouren asked Mr. Private School: "Teacher, what do you think is the most important thing in the world?"

The teacher's answer is: "Of course, like your father, study and become an official!".

But Wang Shouren said: "No, it's not this!".

The school teacher felt very strange, so he asked Wang Shouren, "Then tell me, what is the most important thing in the world?"

Wang Shouren said proudly: "Be a saint!"

"Arrogance! Extreme arrogance!" The teacher was so angry that his white beard trembled wildly, and he turned around to complain to his parent, Wang Hua.

After Wang Hua learned the whole story, he did not punish the arrogant Wang Shouren, but arranged for his son to travel to the frontier.I, who is as arrogant as myself, also discovered my own insignificance through traveling, so I am humbly learning.

It's just that my painstaking efforts couldn't dispel my son's thoughts, and he still didn't change his original intention of becoming a saint after returning.

After seeing his son staring at the bamboo for seven days, he still wanted to become a saint, but he knew that his education had failed.Just a few days ago, when he couldn't bear it anymore, he decided to send his son to Jiangxi to get married.

The current Chief Secretary of Jiangxi, Zhu Yanghe, visited his home in the past, and after seeing the young Wang Shouren's cleverness and beauty, he decided to marry him.

Although it seems that I have lost money now, many high-ranking officials wanted to marry children after I was the number one scholar in high school, but my son had already "sold" me.

"Father, I'm leaving for Jiangxi tomorrow, and I'm about to pack my things!" Wang Shouren, who was investigating things, saw Wang Hua coming in from the room, and immediately pretended to pack his things.

Wang Hua looked at this son who still did not give up being a saint with complicated eyes, and said lightly: "You don't need to rush to Jiangxi!"

"Father, have you changed your mind?" Wang Shouren's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked expectantly.

Wang Hua didn't expect his son to resist this marriage, so he immediately said with a straight face: "What are you thinking? I will go to Ganzhou, Jiangxi after a few days for my father, and you can go with you when you arrive!"

"Father, what are you going to Ganzhou, Jiangxi, as a Hanlin editor?" Wang Shouren couldn't figure out what was going on in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, and asked his father to go there, so he asked in confusion.

Wang Hua followed the patriarchs of this era, and immediately put up his father's airs and said: "Don't ask more questions!"

"Yes!" Seeing that his father was unwilling to disclose, Wang Shouren replied helplessly.

Just like that, when everyone in the capital was staring at Song Cheng, they didn't know that the Zhuangyuan Palace also ushered in a small change.

As night fell, the lights of the Qianqing Palace came on.

Zhu Youtang, who was wearing a uniform, was sitting at the desk. If he wanted to truly control this vast empire, he needed not only the ability to handle government affairs, but also not to be too slack.

All the government affairs of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces are gathered here, even if it is just to tick it, it will take a lot of time.

Fortunately, Wan'an is indeed a qualified senior assistant to the government, and the proposals and opinions in each memorial are just right, and there are not many things that need to be revised by himself.

In the history books, it seems that the world was really peaceful during the Hongzhi period.

Only when you are really in it can you see the real face clearly, not to mention that it is impossible to truly cut off the disasters in various places, and there are also many disasters.

The Ningyuan capital of Liaodong was invaded and plundered, and the captives captured Lanzhou and other places. The bandits in Guangxi gathered more than [-] people to kill and plunder Yishan and other counties, and Jiangxi was the most powerful.

More than [-] thieves from Jiangxi fled to Ganzhou Prefecture, and successively looted Xinfeng, Huichang, Guangchang and other counties. Among them, Zhuang Yingyu, the county magistrate of Guangchang County, was killed.

Zhu Youtang seems to attach great importance to the Jiangxi thieves, but he knows that if it is not properly resolved now, it will confuse the Ming Dynasty for a relatively long time like the original history.

Because Ganzhou Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture are located at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces, and the terrain in this area is dangerous, bandits and bandits frequently riot here.

The more famous example is Zhang Lian, the flying dragon emperor during the Jiajing period. The flying dragon army expanded from 10 to 20, and once shocked the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi.

The current thieves with more than [-] people are far from being able to compare with Zhang Lian, the Feilong Emperor who occupies the land and proclaims himself emperor, but if we don't deal with the root cause now, there will only be more and more thieves in Ganzhou Prefecture and other places over there, and The situation will also become more and more serious.

After all, Zhu Youtang is the emperor of this empire now, so naturally he wants to stamp out the first signs of fire, instead of waiting for the fire to rise to the sky before going to put out the fire.

That's why, he didn't intend to delay the matter until the eighth year of Hongzhi, but set up the governor of Nanjiang in advance now, and the first governor of Nanjiang was Wang Hua.
