The scale of Jingnan County God's Temple is not large, the main entrance of the main hall hangs the plaque of "City God's Temple", and the left and right sides are hung with peach wood couplets: "Be a good person, have a good heart, be a soul, dream steadily, do some good deeds, and God knows the ghosts and gods."

Zhu Ping'an, under the guidance of Zhang Xiancheng and others, entered the Chenghuang Temple from the middle of the Yimen of the City God Temple.

After entering the main hall of the City God Temple, Zhu Ping'an found that the god enshrined in the Chenghuang Temple in Jingnan County was Wen Tianxiang, a famous patriotic and loyal minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was also a historical figure that Zhu Ping'an had always admired.

It is probably that Wen Tianxiang once resisted the Yuan Dynasty on the land of Jingnan County, so Jingnan County enshrined him as the god of the City God Temple.

In the hall, the three animal sacrifices and all kinds of utensils have been furnished, and they are waiting to worship the city god.

After everything was ready, Zhu Ping'an led Zhang Xiancheng and others to kneel and kowtow to Chenghuang three times, burn incense and worship, and swore in the land, "The next official Zhu Ping'an, who was ordered by the emperor to take up the post of magistrate of Jingnan County, swore with God, but the gods are smart and upright, and the gods are leading the underworld, yin and yang. If you are greedy and greedy, frame your subordinates, and abuse the people, God will bring disaster. The subordinate Zhu Ping'an, respects this oath, in order to show my heart, exhaust my duties, and dare to sue. ”

This is called the oath with the gods, which is the top priority of worshiping the city god, swearing to be loyal to the gods, loyal to the duty, taking yin and yang as each other's surface, and realizing the co-governance of man and god, so that he can enter the council. Chenghuang will inspect the performance of the county magistrate after taking office, and reward and punish him.

After worshipping the city god, Zhu Ping'an, under the guidance of Zhang Xiancheng and others, went to the county government of Jingnan County to worship and receive favors.

Accept excellence, which is a sign of taking office.

Zhu Ping'an only carried the appointment document issued by the Ministry of Officials and his own Yu, in this link, with the official document of the appointment of the Ministry of Officials and Yu to verify his identity, he could accept the seal of the magistrate of Jingnan County.

In this way, it can be regarded as the magistrate of Jingnan County.

When he arrived at the county office, Zhu Ping'an soldiers divided into two routes, let Liu Dadao drive the carriage, carry the paintings, go to the back house from the side door to clean up and settle down, and took Liu Mu and others with Zhang Xiancheng and others from the main gate of the county government into the county office.

"Meet the county."

The third-class officials of the county government had already lined up and waited, and after Zhu Ping'an and others entered the county office, they knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Excuse me, everybody."

Zhu Ping'an nodded to the officials, made a gesture of invitation with both hands, and motioned for the officials to get up.

"Xie Xianzun." The officials stood up in response.

"The county is here, please, the Yimen is here, and after the Yimen, it is the lobby of the county government. Our Jingnan County Ya was built in the eight years of Dade in the Mengyuan Dynasty, it has a history of more than 200 years, and then in the 12th year of Hongwu, the 20th year of Yongle, and the sixth year of Zhengde, it was expanded three times, and the county has been repaired many times, and it has today's appearance: the office sits in the north and faces the south, the left Wen and the right Wu, the front and back of the palace, and the prison is in the south. ”

Zhang Xiancheng led Zhu Ping'an to continue walking, and while walking, he served as a commentator on the side, and briefly introduced the history and layout of the county government with Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an nodded, observed as he walked, and after arriving at Yimen, Zhang County Chengting stepped in and asked Zhu Ping'an to enter Yimen first, to show the county respect for the head of a county, and he followed Zhu Ping'an and walked in.

As Zhang Xiancheng said, after passing the Yimen, the county hall came into Zhu Ping'an's eyes.

The lobby seems to have just been renovated, neat and new, and the layout is similar to the old county government sites that Zhu Ping'an visited in modern times. On the two pillars in front of the lobby, there is a large-character couplet written on a red background and black lacquer, "The law is carried out without relatives, and the order is carried out without reason; The reward is only serious, and the punishment is light". There is a plaque hanging above the lobby, the book "Mirror hangs high", below the plaque is the ambiguous pavilion, in the middle is a three-foot black lacquered public case, on which are placed the four treasures of the study room and the red and green head sign for the trial, behind the public case is a white wall, the middle is framed with a wooden frame, the white background in the frame, and a huge picture of "sea tide day" is painted on it.

The mirror above the head hangs high, and the sea water behind it is sunrise, which means that the official should be as bright as the sun and the moon, and as clear as the sea.

This is the main point of his future work, Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and stepped into the warm pavilion, and stretched out his hand to cross the public case.

"County honor, now worship and be preferred?" Zhang Changru, the county magistrate, stepped forward and asked softly.

"Yes, yes." Zhu Ping'an nodded.

"I'm tired of being unhappy, I'm not happy." Zhang Changru, the county leader, looked at the main treasure Wenyuan and reminded.

"Please forgive me for the offense, the procedure dictates, and please show the three treasures to the county."

The main treasure Wenyuan, but the Zhixian taro with the seal was attached, holding the big seal in both hands, and bowed down to Zhu Ping'an and said.

The so-called three treasures are the Yu, the official documents of the Ministry and the sword, which are the credentials to verify the identity of the magistrate.

"It's heavy." Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded, turned his gaze to Liu Mu, and said softly, "Brother Mu, please Sanbao." ”

"Yes, Childe." Liu Mu responded and respectfully handed over the three treasures he was carrying to Zhu Ping'an.

"Please." Zhu Ping'an put the three treasures on the public case, and stretched out his hand to Yin Bo and the others to make a gesture of invitation.

Li Da was the first to come up to inspect it, and he looked at it several times, and then Zhang Xiancheng, Yin Bo and others also stepped forward to check them one by one.

After checking and confirming that it was correct, Yin Bo handed over the county magistrate's hand to Zhu Ping'an, and Zhu Ping'an, under the witness of everyone, removed the seal, took out the county magistrate's seal with both hands, and put it on the public case.

"Meet the county."

Zhang Xiancheng and Yin Bo took the officials of Jingnan County to step forward, stood under the hall, bowed twice, and formally met Zhu Ping'an.

"Everyone, please get up, this official was transferred to Jingnan Zhixian by the emperor's order, and it is a great responsibility to govern the people. However, Ping An has just arrived, and he is young and inexperienced, so he will have to rely on you a lot in the future. I also hope that you will work together with this official to work together, put your liver and gall into the guts, work state affairs, and jointly create the people of the south. Zhu Ping'an stood up and bowed.

"The county is humble, we should follow the Taiwan edict carefully, and in the future, only the county respects the horse's head and looks forward, and the state affairs are the people." Zhang Xiancheng replied in unison with everyone.

Then, the officials, soap officials, wardens, scripture grandchildren, lobbyists, monks, Taoist officials, yin and yang students, medical officials, and academic officials went from bottom to top in turn, and stepped forward to bow to Zhu Ping'an twice, and Zhu Ping'an got up to accept the salute.

Ascended to the court, lined up the office, painted the mao, and went to the county seat and the countryside to post notices to tell the people in the jurisdiction that Xinzhi County had taken office.

After the event, Zhu Ping'an participated in the reception banquet prepared by Zhang Xiancheng and others as usual, and the guests at the banquet were the main path.

In this way, in the evening, Zhu Ping'an completed all the procedures for going to work, and the whole person was almost exhausted.

"Uncle, is the handover still smooth?"

The bun core mustache painting had already prepared foot washing water for Zhu Ping'an, brought it to his feet, and let Zhu Ping'an soak his feet, she helped Zhu Ping'an massage and rub his shoulders behind her, and asked in a low voice while massaging.

"Since it's going well, why is my uncle still frowning?" The painting asked, puzzled.

"It's because it's so smooth." Zhu Ping'an squinted his eyes and said slowly.
