Chapter 6 Means
Ma Zhongfang, the governor of Quanzhou, is a military minister, the deputy envoy of the Xijing Zuozang Treasury, because Cao Keming recommended him to serve here, and he is also related to Xu Ping. After meeting, I learned that Ma Zhongfang still had an old relationship with Li Yong when he was in Beijing, and he was very affectionate to Xu Ping, and he had been accompanying him to keep him out of Quanzhou.
After Quanzhou, if you go back to Beijing, the next stop should be Yongzhou, and go north along the official road.
Daozhou is not on this avenue, where it leads to Guangnan East Road, Linshui and Xiangjiang River. The imperial court is demoted, this is an important stop, and then further south is Lingnan. Correspondingly, most of the officials who moved north from Lingnan also settled here.
Xu Ping rode a horse and looked at the official road to the north in the distance, and sighed secretly. Is this road already a road? I may not be able to do anything great in this world, but if I can build this highway to every populated place and leave my own mark, it will not be in vain to come to this world.
In the distance, the low mountains of Daozhou are undulating and undulating, and mulberry rice is planted all over, which is already a scene of fish and rice. Separated by five mountains and one mountain, there are two worlds, and recalling the past six years in Lingnan is like a big dream.
Ren Shouzhong gritted his teeth, but he didn't expect Xu Pingguan to be big, but his popularity was good. Along the way, coming out of Taiping County, either the people or the officials have always been taken care of. After a thousand miles of travel, I didn't find a chance to start. Look at it and go to Daozhou, hand it over to the local officials, Ren Shouzhong is about to return to Beijing to resume his life, and he is so angry that his eyes are on fire.
Walking along the road between the low mountains, Ren Shouzhong had fire in his heart, and fought all the way, and Xu Ping had no intention of appreciating the scenery on the side of the road when he was in a hurry.
The two places are less than 100 miles, and they had a meal in the middle. In the evening, he ran to the post house outside Daozhou City in one go. The sun had not yet set. The sky is full of red glow.
The Daozhou Post House is also near the water's edge. It is not far from the wharf and can go straight down the Xiangjiang River.
When it was time for dinner, two veterans were cleaning at the entrance of the post house, and there were a few post men washing rice and vegetables by the water not far away, and everything seemed quiet and peaceful under the sunset.
Ren Shouzhong lifted the reins of his horse and rushed straight to the door of the post house.
The veteran who swept the floor was startled, looked at the official uniform of the man on the horse, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Captain, please dismount." I'm going to go in and report it! ”
Ren Shouzhong said with a sharp voice: "Go in and tell Yicheng, let the local governor come to see me quickly!" ”
The veteran was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Ren Shouzhong's face was not good, he didn't dare to say anything, so he turned around and entered the post station.
Xu Ping just watched coldly and didn't speak. Now that he has arrived at the ground, he has confessed to Zhizhou Tongju, and he is not bound by Ren Shouzhong, and it depends on how long he will be arrogant.
Daozhou Zhizhou palace in the Xin Ruoji, with grace into the office. His father, Xin Zhongfu, was the governor of Taizong when he was the governor, and he was the prince of Shaobao. Xin Zhongfu has a military strategy for Wenchen. is also a famous minister for a while, speaking of which, Xu Ping and Xin Zhongfu are a bit similar, and Xin Ruoji should have a common language.
After a while, Yi Cheng ran out of the post house, and the official robe on his body was crooked, obviously just put on. When he arrived in front of Ren Shouzhong's horse, he saluted and said: "The small local post Lin Xuanzhong, I don't know what Shangguan is called?" Why are you here? Is there a clerical coupon? ”
"Post tickets? What a post ticket! Ren Shouzhong's face changed when he heard the official question, and the whip in his hand was beaten without a head or face, "What post coupon?" You said! This official is enshrined in the imperial medicine, sent by the Queen Mother, and comes out to do things according to the will of the Queen Mother, you still dare to ask for post coupons! ”
When Yi Cheng heard that it was the person next to the Queen Mother, he had to swallow his anger, held his head and asked carefully: "I don't know why Shangguan is here on business?" Small ones are also good to prepare. ”
"You little poster, ask so much what to do! Hurry up and call the general judgment of Zhizhou, I still have business to tell them, don't delay! ”
Yi Cheng took two steps back and said respectfully: "Sue Shangguan knows that the two officials of the Governor of Benzhou are not in the state city now, and Shangguan will have to wait a few days to see them." ”
"What? The two chiefs are not there, how do they do things for the officials? Leaving his post without permission and ignoring the official affairs of the people, Li Gongbu is a transit envoy, is he so indulgent under his rule? ”
At this time, Li Zhaoshu took Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry as the transfer envoy of Jinghu South Road, and stabbed the officials, although strictly speaking, it was not a superior-subordinate relationship with the Zhizhou General Judgment, but he had the responsibility of supervision.
Where can a little post man explain these things? I had to reply cautiously: "Shangguan misunderstood, it was the transfer envoy who inspected Guiyang Prison and summoned the military commanders of nearby states to where the governors of the prefectures were not in the city. The magistrate went down to inspect the county and has not yet returned. ”
Ren Shouzhong heard this, it was not good to have another seizure, he immediately thought for a while, he didn't know what to remember, his face calmed down, and he said to Yi Cheng: "That is the case, you go in and prepare a place for us to live, stay here for a few days, and wait for the Zhizhou general sentence to come back." ”
Along the way, I didn't see a single general judgment in the states. Xu Ping himself had done this ministry and knew that he had gone down to inspect. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather is not too cool and poisonous now, of course, hurry up and complete the patrol task of the season, otherwise when the weather gets hot, you won't be able to get along with yourself.
The same is true of the transit envoys, who are on patrol in the states during this season, and after this month, they will honestly return to the yamen and stay until the autumn.
The Yamen of the Transshipment Division of Jinghu South Road was in Tanzhou, and Li Zhaoshu couldn't wait to patrol all the southern prefectures, so he had to find an excuse to call the governors to Guiyang to listen to their reports.
Guiyang has many mining and metallurgical places, which are necessary places for transshipment and use, but the neighboring Daozhou is exempt.
When he arrived at the post house, Ren Shouzhong ordered Xu Ping to have a separate courtyard, ordered his Xiaohuangmen and soldiers to guard it, and drove Gao Daquan, Sun Qilang and Xiuxiu out together.
Sun Qilang said angrily: "We followed the officials from Kaifeng to Lingnan, and from Lingnan to here, why did you drive people out?" Officials need to be taken care of! ”
Ren Shouzhong stepped on the dismounting stone at the door of the post house, and sneered: "Along the way, a few of you have been eating and drinking, and I haven't spoken to be a favor." Now that you are on the ground, you still want to live with Xu Pingbai, where is that kind of good thing? I have the will of the Queen Mother, I want to hand Xu Ping into the hands of the local governor, I can't be careless, how can I let you be by his side! Xu Ping is a domineering person, everyone in the capital knows it, who knows if there is anyone who is not angry, if he secretly makes something, he has three long and two short, how can I deal with it? ”
Gao Daquan said coldly: "You lock the officials in the post house, who knows if it will be bad!" If you don't let us watch, we can't rest assured that you can't do it! ”
Ren Shouzhong sneered: "The affairs of the official family, how can there be a place where a few of you have a lot of mouths!" This is the post house of the imperial court, there is no official body, and there is no post ticket, how far can you guys roll! ”
After speaking, Yang Chang entered the post house.
Xiuxiu watched Ren Shouzhong's figure disappear into the post house, and said anxiously: "What should I do?" If this person does this, it will inevitably be detrimental to the officials! ”
Gao Daquan thought for a while, and said to the other two: "That's the dock, let's go find a place to rest first." If you don't let us live in the post house, can you still stop us from saying hello sooner or later? As long as we watch closely, it is difficult for that eunuch to really dare to poison him! ”
After sending away Gao Daquan and a few people, Ren Shouzhong Shi Ran came to Xu Ping's residence, and saw that Xu Ping was blowing the wind in the ventilation area of the courtyard, and said proudly: "Zhizhou Tongju is not here, there is no way, I have to stay with you for a few more days." The post house here is clean and tidy, and there is no one else to live, you want to live comfortably! ”
Xu Ping looked at Ren Shouzhong, was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that the cabinet chief can't bear the loneliness after all, and he took my subordinates away, thinking that he wanted to release means to deal with me." Back then, for Li Xianggong, the waiter let the food go before letting him eat, and the same was true for Kou Xianggong and Cao Shumi. Now that Li Xianggong is the prime minister, I don't know what happened to his servant who treated him harshly? ”
Speaking of Li Di, Ren Shouzhong's face became ugly. How is the servant who treated Li Di harshly back then? Speaking of which, Li Di is a literati in the end, and he has a generous temperament, so he didn't let the palace beat the chamberlain to death, but just belittled the evil state army. When he arrived at the place, the magistrate accused the servant of lawlessness and exiled to Salmon Island, and he didn't know if he still had his life.
Seeing Xu Ping's face sneering, Ren Shouzhong came back to his senses and said viciously: "What are you, you can also be compared with Li Xianggong!" With the Queen Mother here, you can also be the prime minister? Take a pee photo before it's too late! ”
Xu Ping just smiled and shook his head. It's hard to say whether he can become the prime minister, but the queen mother doesn't have many birthdays, but it's a certainty, and when these eunuchs lose their backers, they will slowly get it back. I really can't figure it out, Empress Dowager Liu is already a lot old, and these people around her really think that she can live to be over eighty years old like Wu Zetian and ensure that they are rich and prosperous for a lifetime.
Seeing Xu Ping's nonchalant expression, Ren Shouzhong was even more angry in his heart, and said to Xu Ping: "Since you talked about Li Xianggong, then let you taste the methods of the past!" I'll be hungry for three days, and I'll find dog food for you! ”
"If you have the ability, you will starve me to death!"
Xu Ping smiled as he turned around and went back to the room.
The experiences of Kou Zhun, Li Di and Cao Yu had already spread all over the world at this time, and Xu Ping also saw that the methods of these servants were nothing more than disgusting themselves. Those ministers are all face-loving people, especially Cao Yu, who is too strong, so he fell into the way of the inner servant. Kou Zhun pulled his face, and there was nothing.
I have been a human being for two lives, and I will fight with a eunuch for these false names, but I will endure it for a few days, and when the governor of this state returns, everything will pass. When one day he makes a fortune, he must peel off the skin of this eunuch.
In the evening, Ren Shouzhong really asked Xiao Huangmen to intercept Xu Ping's dinner, and made a big bowl of half-cooked sandwich rice, no vegetables and no soup, to make Xu Ping's dinner.
If you eat it and drink two bowls of water, you will have to break your stomach. Xu Ping put the food delivered to the windowsill, ignored the little yellow door that was watching outside, and fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
