Chapter 724: Taking office
The twenty-third day of the first lunar month, an unusual day.
A group of officials from the Guangzhou government and officials from Nanhai and Panyu counties were waiting at the east gate early, looking anxiously towards the official road, and the officials who knew each other could not help but chat a few words.
"Quiet!"
Diao Laixi's face was very gloomy, and when he heard the conversation of the officials behind him, he immediately turned around and reprimanded sharply.
Diao Laixi, as the same acquaintance of the five products of the government office, was the governor of the government after the former prefect left office at the end of last year. In the officialdom, he was very close to Xu Ji, the governor of the imperial history, and was once the most popular candidate for the new prefect of Guangzhou.
However, all this has become a thing of the past, and the new prefect is Lin Haoran, the prefect of Leizhou. Lin Haoran, regardless of his own strength, as well as his prestige in Guangdong, and even Beishan in the middle of the court, can firmly suppress this once extremely arrogant Diao Tongzhi.
"I'm afraid someone can't be quiet!"
Ouyang Gang, the magistrate of Panyu County, was born in Jinshi, was an official and upright, and he was never interested in Tongzhi Diao Laixi, and led the subordinate officials of Panyu County to stand behind, but he said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
When the officials heard Ouyang Gang confronting him like this, they had different reactions. Some officials looked at Ouyang Gang angrily, while others laughed at him, and some officials gave Ouyang Gang a thumbs up in support.
Diao Laixi inquired about the prestige, and the green tendons on his forehead suddenly rose, but he still resisted the urge to attack.
As things developed now, he did feel a strong sense of unease. I thought that that person would sell him a little face no matter what, and he had the ability to compete with that person, but that person was simply a stunned young man, and it seemed that he really wanted to start a war with their Xu Party.
The sun rises in the east, the golden morning sun paves the official road like gold leaf, and a mighty guard of honor comes in the morning light.
Eight sedan chairs, flags, and honor guards, playing "Ding Sike Guangdong Township Trial Solution Yuan", "Wuwu Branch Examination Yuan", "Wuwu Branch Hall Trial Champion!" ", "Six Yuan and the First", "Daming Wenkui", "Guangdong City Bo Si Ti", "Guangzhou Prefect" and other flags.
Many prefects have "XX Branch Township Examination" and "XX Branch Jinshi Number", which has made many scholars and people envy and worship, once upon a time there was such a spectacular pomp.
That "Da Ming Wenkui" flag, the whole Ming Dynasty is unique, and I am afraid that it will not appear in the next few decades, this is the most glorious title belonging to Lin Wenkui Lin Haoran, as dazzling as the rising sun.
"It's coming!"
When they saw this team of honor and ambush appear, this large group of officials who had been waiting for a long time immediately became solemn and respectful.
The six yuan lang in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Kuijun, who was given by the saint himself, was responsible for returning to Guangdong to open the sea and achieved outstanding results. Even if they are here in Guangzhou City, they keep hearing about Lin Haoran's various exploits, and they are given the title of "Lin Lei Gong" by the people of Leizhou, and it is even rumored that the people of Leizhou have begun to build temples.
The new prefect with such a prominent background and outstanding political achievements is undoubtedly a strong dragon.
The new prefect is also the person in charge of the purchase of ambergris in Guangdong, as well as his big backer in the capital, all of which are enough to occupy a place in Guangdong officialdom.
But I don't know if it's "a raptor crossing the river" or "a dragon swimming in the shallows and being played by shrimp". But no matter what, I am afraid that the officialdom in Guangdong will no longer be quiet, and it will even be reshuffled.
At the city gate, the ceremony of three successions was carried out, and the officials gathered around the sedan chair of the new prefect from the east gate to enter the city of Guangzhou, and the sedan chair "from east to west" represented the meaning of "purple gas coming from the east".
Daming has customization: one to four scarlet robes, five to seven green robes, eight to nine green robes. Among them, the four products are another big threshold, as long as the officials of the four products do not make big mistakes, there is absolutely no possibility of being relegated to remote places.
Lin Haoran was sitting in a sedan chair wearing a scarlet robe, wearing a winged black gauze hat, wearing the official uniform of Yunyan Buzi, and a plain gold belt around his waist, like a groom official.
In the crowd of people, firecrackers, gongs and drums, he seemed very calm. The sedan curtain was raised high, and he looked ahead without squinting, like an old monk in a trance.
Following the prefect of Leizhou, he first went to the City God Temple belonging to Guangzhou Prefecture for worship ceremonies.
The City God Temple is located on Huifu Street, and there is also a Guandi Temple next to it, which is a prosperous place in the city of Guangzhou. Usually, a large group of vendors gather at the entrance of the temple to set up stalls and sell their goods, but today they can only be one of the onlookers.
Because today is the inauguration day of the new prefect, especially Lin Haoran's literary name is unsurpassed in ancient and modern times, causing many people and scholars to come to watch, and the number of people is as high as thousands.
Lin Haoran got down from the official sedan chair, and the gate of the City God Temple had naturally been cleared, and those onlookers could only watch from afar.
"You must have a conscience, on the fifteenth day of the first month, why use you to burn incense and light candles."
"Do things like no reason, three watches in the middle of the night, beware of my iron chain and steel fork."
……
Lin Haoran was about to climb the stairs, but suddenly he paused and looked up at the couplet in front of the City God Temple, which was undoubtedly an exhortation to their officials.
It's just that I have to admit that this kind of exhortation doesn't seem to have any effect, otherwise there would not be such an evil as Diao Qingsheng.
After worshipping the City God Temple, the honor guard crossed Chengxuan Avenue on the central axis, and then entered Huimin Street.
Huimin Street is also known as Yamen Street, the first Yamen is the Political Division, and then the second Yamen is the Guangzhou Mansion, which is in charge of millions of people in Guangzhou.
"My lord, the yamen has arrived!"
Before the sedan chair arrived at the mansion, someone gently reminded him.
Following the layout of the Leizhou Mansion is similar, in front of which is the wall of the wall where notices are posted, and the sedan chair stops at the Mansion Square, and the eyes are the imposing Guangzhou Mansion Gate.
The eight-character wall, the door is very wide, the eaves are very high, it is worthy of being the government of the provincial capital, and the scale is far better than that of the Leizhou government.
The sedan chair did not stop, but went directly into the palace. On the left is the prison cell of the government office, and on the right is the Yin Hotel, and then the procession continues to enter the second gate, and then stops.
Lin Haoran got off the sedan chair unhurriedly and knelt down and knocked on the door of the ceremony.
After passing through the instrument gate, he went to the "Ring Stone Pavilion" in front of the middle of the Yongdao, a big stone erected in the fake pavilion, and the front was engraved with the three big characters of "Gongshengming".
Following a different perfunctory attitude in Leizhou Mansion, this time Lin Haoran solemnly worshiped "Gongsheng Mingshi", and the "Gongsheng Mingshi" from "Xunzi * Bulu" came to mind.
Then, it was time to go to the court.
Stepping into the platform and stepping onto His Majesty, he tidied up his appearance, stood on top of the public hall, and bowed to the throne of the emperor in the north. After the ceremony, pay respects to the official seal placed on the case, which can be regarded as an official appointment.
It's just that the Guangzhou Mansion is very large, and the back house covers an area of more than ten acres. Just like the later generations, he still has to worship the god Xiao He, the land lord, the horse god of the stable, the king of the stove, etc., which can be regarded as the official completion of all the ceremonies.
After these ceremonies, he completed all the processes and became the new head of the mansion.
Knock knock knock......
Time seemed to be counting, and the drum of grievances outside the gate suddenly sounded.
Lin Haoran didn't seem to have the slightest surprise at this, he had always been like a walking corpse, and his eyes seemed to have a little more brilliance at this time.
According to the practice of officialdom, it is generally not an urgent appointment, and everyone prefers to avoid these three fire moons. It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and he has a reason to break this stereotype, and he has to tell the millions of people in Guangzhou that he is worthy of the title of "Lin Lei Gong".
