Chapter 906: Great Virtue and Great Merit

Ruixue Trillion Year.

Heavy snow can freeze the pests in the field, and can also maintain the moisture of the crops, so there is such a saying among the people.

The heavy snow of the New Year in Guide Mansion is very festive for the people.

After this heavy snowfall, it indicates a good harvest in Guide this year.

In addition to the joy of the croppers, the officialdom of the Guide Mansion is also about to be promoted by the prefect, and they are happy.

Fu Zhiyuan was promoted to three levels in a row and was promoted to the political envoy of Henan, which shook the entire Henan officialdom.

Stepping into the sky, one step to the sky is not enough to describe such an officialdom myth.

When every official knew that Fu Zhiyuan was promoted to the political envoy of Henan, they were dumbfounded, thinking that there was still such an operation. After Ma Yu's incident, Fu Zhiyuan is now a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven.

And now in the government of the Guide Mansion, the Fuyuan Wen patrol has arrived in advance.

You must know that the governor's yamen has no subordinate officials, only attachés. As for the civil and military patrols, they are filled by the miscellaneous military attachés, and the civil patrols are used to pass orders from civilian officials, and the military patrols are used to pass orders from military attachés.

The prime minister's door is a seven-grade official, and the governor's door also has eight grades, and this article patrols and arrests go to the local place to give orders on weekdays, and there is no good face for the magistrate.

But now that he arrived at the Guide Mansion, he restrained his arrogance and kowtowed to Fu Zhiyuan and said: "Congratulations on your promotion, Lord Futai said that Uncle Fang's appointment came from the special decree of the Son of Heaven and was recommended by the Jiuqing Society." The saint is the minister of Henan's right political envoy, and this kind of special simplicity is a rare Long'en in the world, and it is also the concern of the Son of Heaven in the hearts of the people of Henan. ”

"Therefore, Lord Futai should personally come to the palace to announce the decree and thank God together with Uncle Fang."

After listening to Wen Xun's words, Fu Zhiyuan's eyes were already moist, and the entourage on the left and right followed to wipe his tears.

It's a blessing from heaven!

Don't talk about being promoted three levels in a row, let's just say that this son of heaven is very simple.

You must know that the appointment of officials above the third grade of the Ming Dynasty must be recommended by the Jiuqing Court.

The general process is that when there is a vacancy in an important place, the officials will write the names of two or three officials, and then let the Jiuqing court discuss and recommend candidates, and then report to the Son of Heaven and the Holy Judge.

This is a gentleman in the court, showing that he is not a private official, and he shares the righteousness with the public. It is a model of the Ming Dynasty when the Son of Heaven and the scholars ruled the world together.

But Fu Zhiyuan's appointment is different, it is a special order from the Son of Heaven to the Ministry of Officials, and then Jiuqing will push it, and finally appoint.

It's been a long time since I've used this way of employing people.

Because the Son of Heaven does not go through Jiuqing's meeting, he will appoint people in the middle of the order, and it is easy to be slapped in the face by civil officials. The Son of Heaven wants to appoint a private person without the consent of the civil official, and use whoever he likes, huh? Dream on!

But all the ministers who have the backbone and dare to defy the imperial power will not agree. If the official secretary dares to do this, the people in the world will be boiling.

But Fu Zhiyuan is the Son of Heaven Tejian, and then Jiuqing will unanimously be elected as the political envoy of Henan.

What does this mean? It shows that Fu Zhiyuan is well deserved, whether it is the Son of Heaven and Wenchen, it is agreed that this position must be your Lord Fu.

Therefore, the official department is not afraid of being infamous and being attacked by the reading crowd and selling the favor of the Son of Heaven.

Finally, it can be summed up in four words, that is, 'the body is expected by the public'.

Fu Zhiyuan's eyes were wet at this moment, and his chief staff Master Tang had already stood up and bowed: "Congratulations to Dong Weng, congratulations to Dong Weng!" ”

The entourage below also bowed to Fu Zhiyuan and said, "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." ”

Fu Zhiyuan wiped away his tears and said in his heart, he was out of shape, he didn't expect that he would still be keen on his career after being an official for so long.

Fu Zhiyuan walked out of the hall in a full official robe, bowed solemnly to the north, and said loudly: "Minister Fu Zhiyuan bows to thank God!" ”

After Fu Zhiyuan got up, Wen Xunzhu also followed over to congratulate Fu Zhiyuan again, and then said: "Uncle Fu Fang, Lord Futai, the envoy, and the important officials in the province will come to announce the decree, you hurry up and prepare, and thank God for your grace at that time." ”

Fu Zhiyuan said: "Got it." ”

While he was talking, Fu Zhiyuan's old wife came.

Fu Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are not in good health, why did you come out?" ”

The old wife said: "Hearing the good news, how can the concubine stay in bed." Congratulations to the master, the concubine immediately ordered to return to her hometown to report the good news, and comfort her father-in-law and mother-in-law in the spirit of the sky. ”

Fu Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, this is all the grace of the saint, hey, it's just that Fu has been honest all his life, it's hard for you, and I have suffered for half a lifetime." ”

When the old wife heard this, tears fell and said: "The old man is an official, worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the saint, worthy of the people, how can there be hardships and not hardships, today the lord can keep the clouds open and see the moon, and he will not change his will for the people, and the ancestors of the Fu family are enough to comfort." ”

Fu Zhiyuan nodded, and at that moment he ordered someone to send happy money to Wen Xun.

Several subordinates scraped together for a long time before they gave three taels of silver. Wen Xun saw that it was only three taels of silver, and he was not angry, but thought that this Fu Zhiyuan was really honest, and he should have done good deeds after traveling dozens of miles this time.

Fu Zhiyuan's entourage was happy, and the subordinate officials in the house here were not slow, several officials put on red clothes and stepped forward to congratulate, and the subordinate officials also wore red hats, and congratulated one after another.

The official seal in the palace was promoted, and it was a special purpose, and he was promoted three levels in a row, which is a rare event. With this east wind, of course, the officials also want to get rid of it and take advantage of it.

There are also officials in the mansion who sighed, when they first came to the mansion, they all felt that Lao Fu was too straightforward, his eyes could not be mixed with sand, and he had no background, so he was not as skilled as Lin Yanchao, and he was an official on the day of the Son of Heaven, and he was a protégé of the elder of the pavilion.

Therefore, they would rather befriend Lin Yanchao than deal with Zhiyuan and stay away.

But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

The last one to be promoted turned out to be Fu Zhiyuan, when can Qingguan mix so well.

What a collective miscalculation, everyone is blind.

And when Lin Yanchao rushed back to the mansion, what he saw was also the scene of the mansion being full of lights and the courtyard.

He is angry in his heart, and it is the feeling of making wedding clothes for others.

He bribed the emperor with 200,000 taels, but Fu Zhiyuan didn't give a dime, why did the emperor promote him? It's just a faint king.

And that's the special purpose! After the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, no, it should be said that after the Jiajing year, several officials had such grace.

Unbalanced, unbalanced.

There was no way, Lin Yanchao could only come to the main hall and congratulate Fu Zhiyuan.

At this time, several officials in the government, as well as the county magistrate and county magistrate who rushed to hear the news, were all congratulating Fu Zhiyuan.

The atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious.

For example, Lin Yanchao single-handedly promoted the former government officials, and now the grain capture sentence Ma Tong judged, and he was dealing with Zhiyuan with admiration: "Uncle Fang, at the beginning, he asked for his life for the people, and put life and death out of the way, we are officials, who does not respect Uncle Fang in his heart, and takes Uncle Fang as an example, and now Uncle Fang has been promoted to three levels, it is the eyes of the princes of the court and the central government who are as wise as torches, and the Son of Heaven sees thousands of miles." ”

The rest of the officials also said: "Uncle Fang was promoted this time, it can be seen that the court is upright, and the backbone of my scholar is still there." ”

Tall hats are put on one by one.

Lin Yanchao smiled and walked in, and when all the officials saw Lin Yanchao coming, they got up one after another to salute.

Ma Zhizhou and Lin Yanchao have always been at odds, and deliberately said at the moment: "Sima, Master Fu has been promoted, this is a great joy, we are blessed by the people of Germany, and it is also the benevolence of Lord Fu." ”

Ma Zhizhou actually said in his heart, how about you, Lin Yanchao, who built a hundred miles of embankment and opened thousands of acres of silt fields? What about giving the people money to stabilize food prices?

You have worked for a long time, but it was Fu Zhiyuan who was promoted by the imperial court, not you Lin Yanchao, you are not working in vain.

The officials below also have long had opinions on Lin Yanchao's large-scale construction work.

thinks it's too much of a toss, and it's better to be an official who doesn't want more than one thing, but after Lin Yanchao came to return to Dezhihe, he issued layers of indicators and was meticulous, as strict as today's KPI assessment.

The officials are used to living a quiet life, and they are asked to work hard one by one, but they can only work Lin Yanchao's wrist.

But the other officials are smart and do not speak.

Ma Zhizhou said to the left and right as if no one was around: "Therefore, when you are an official, you must cultivate virtue first, and if you are virtuous, you will have merit, and merit is just the way of the end." ”

Lin Yanchao didn't bother to take care of it, smiled, and didn't say anything.

"This is a fallacy," at this time, Fu Zhiyuan got up and said: "Everyone, Lin Sima has the talent to manage Zhong, and he can warp the world, Fu is really not as good!" ”

Now the people of Guide are not suffering from the flooding of the Yellow River, and the people have enough food and clothing, all of which are the work of Lin Sima. What is great virtue, great virtue is not in the conduct of officials, but in every common person's porridge, food and clothing! The good life of the common people is the great virtue, compared with this, the small virtue of Fu is insignificant. ”

Lin Yanchao was stunned, Fu Zhiyuan's words of blatant praise of himself also had a meaning, the matter of silting the field belonged to Xiaode, so he didn't care about himself for the time being.

The officials were also stunned, they didn't expect Fu Zhiyuan to praise Lin Yanchao so much.

At this moment, someone outside applauded: "Well said! ”

Everyone looked at it, but saw Governor Yang Yikui, wearing a big red scarlet robe, crossed the threshold, strode into the house, and behind him, the political envoy Gong Daqi, Yang Yigui, and the provincial dignitaries came together.

Fu Zhiyuan, Lin Yanchao hurriedly greeted him: "I don't know Futai, the domain has arrived, and I will miss the distance!" ”

Yang Yikui said with a smile: "The lieutenant envoy's carriage is broken, and he is still changing horses and cars at the post station." Yang and all the adults, one step ahead, one to congratulate Brother Fu, and the other to take the opportunity to fight a dozen autumn winds, so there is no rumor that he has been a villain, and it is just right, if it is not so, I can't hear Brother Fu's brilliant words! ”

Saying that, Gong Daqi and other officials all laughed in unison.

Fu Zhiyuan, Lin Yanchao and a group of officials from Guide Mansion also laughed.

Yang Yikui turned around and asked the officials in the hall, "May I ask you, what is great virtue and what is great merit?" ”

The officials looked thoughtful.

But seeing Yang Yikui's uprightness, he said: "Honest and self-controlled, nothing is done, and it is not taken from the people, is it virtue?" Isn't it work? ”

"Not being superior, not afraid of violence, putting the people first, isn't it virtue? Isn't it work? ”

"Asking for life for the people, regardless of life and death, regardless of honor and disgrace, is it virtue? Isn't it work? ”

"Repair the embankment and open the field, the green seedlings are lost, and the people are hanging, is it moral? Isn't it work? ”

"Regard the people's hatred as your own hatred, take the people's grievances as your own grievances, cut off traitors, eliminate harm for the people, declare righteousness in the world, and return the sun and moon to Zhaozhao, is it not virtue? Isn't it work? ”

Yang Yikui's words echoed in the hall, and all the officials listened with solemn expressions, and some people couldn't help themselves.

The hall was silent, while Fu Zhiyuan and Lin Yanchao had mixed feelings.
