272. Succession

"What a fucking sulking." Tian Jitang has been either in Xinpingbao or Li Zhuang in the past year, and he has not felt too much oppression, and the scene in front of him reminded him that this is the real Ming Dynasty, and everything in Li Zhuang feels like a dream.

At this moment, he suddenly made up his mind, no longer thinking about the set of Mingzhe to protect his life, and after he went back, he would stay by Master Zhang's side and be a useful pawn!

At this time, from Fuqian Street to the direction of the East Gate, firecrackers sounded under several bell and drum towers, and then the gongs and drums beat desperately, Tian Jitang was a little stunned, and said: "Why is there still a while before the New Year, is Datong City so lively?" ”

"The new governor has taken office, and the new governor has entered the city!"

Without waiting for the answer of the people in the branch, there were a lot of idlers on the street who were noisily running over, and behind them was a full set of governor's honor guards slowly walking, the top horse went first, and then there were all kinds of umbrellas and covers, including the servants holding various weapons, a large green tweed official sedan chair carried by eight people was surrounded in it, there were nearly 100 people from the ceremony, no matter how you look at it, it must have exceeded the rules, even if the governor has no reason to use so many honors, but in Datong City, in addition to the acting king who can't easily get out of the Forbidden City, it is the governor who is the largest, Is there anyone who can't open their eyes to find fault with the governor's military door in this matter?

"This is to the yamen to take the guard."

The governor's seal is not the official seal of the boxy, because nominally the governor is a dispatch officer sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he does things in the local manner, and then slowly adds a lot of responsibilities, and now includes the local military and political, cultural and educational, criminal name, warehousing and other almost the duties of the governor, and the local affairs are grasped by the governor, and the only thing that can check and balance the governor is the patrol, but the official position of the governor is low, and it will soon be replaced, and the main role is only to check and balance. Local military and political affairs are rarely really intervened, and the governor's power and responsibility are heavy, and his prestige is so great, naturally there is no city to say much.

Tian Jitang subconsciously said: "Is Governor Wen bad?" ”

"No," replied the shopkeeper, "I heard that he was transferred to Baoding, and he is still the governor." ”

"Datong is in Baoding, and the imperial court is still relying on it."

"Well, but Governor Wen is old and not in good health, so it is estimated that he will not take another step."

Wenqiu, the governor of the official voice, is okay, do things at a glance, not to be careless and not cool, mainly Datong is safe and sound, the important thing in the towns on the nine sides is safety, everything else is virtual, Wenqiu has been the governor of Datong for many years, and the overall situation is calm, and there is not much movement, nothing is safe, so the evaluation of the official voice is not bad.

Of course, the imperial court transferred him to Baoding, which also means to rely on, if it is usual, Datong is an important town, and Baoding is only the backup of Jizhen, although it is close to Beijing, the status is always one level worse.

In recent years, due to the great trouble in the east, Liaozhen has become the first key place, and the imperial court is also cautious in the choice of governors and supervisors of Liaodong, and then the imperial court is also very cautious about the defense of Jizhen and Baoding, after all, the eastern affairs have not yet subsided, and people of insight in the court have begun to worry about the collusion between the eastern and northern prisoners, and it is possible to make trouble all the way to the northern border Great Wall defense line, at that time Baoding is also a front-line military region, and the status of a westerly military town like Datong is completely different.

In fact, Ji Liao is considered one, the imperial court supervisor or strategy is soon called Ji Liao Governor, Baoding is also included in it, three towns in one defense, in the second year of Chongzhen Huang Taiji first entered the customs, the three towns defense has become the most important border defense, but unfortunately even so, to the Ming Dynasty rotten officialdom is still useless, every time these defense areas are beaten like a sieve, can be called a thousand holes.

Of course, Tian Jitang didn't know about these things, and he didn't care about them, so he lost interest after inquiring for a few words, and then he subconsciously asked, "Who is the new governor?" ”

"The new governor's surname is Han," the people in the shop didn't know, and then someone on the street shouted: "I heard that he was transferred from Shanxi's political envoy." ”

"Oops!" Tian Jitang's face was shocked, and he sighed.

Everyone in the store had the same expression, first shocked, then sighing, and everyone was sad.

Lingqiu Mine Dispute, Han Tong was played to death by Zhang Hansheng, the Han family was defeated, and a bunch of house slaves died, Han Qi favored the Han family at that time, but he was in Shanxi, which was beyond the reach of the whip.

You must know that whether it is Lingqiu, Li Zhuang, or Xinpingbao, these places are all under the rule of Datong Mansion or Datong Military Town, that is, under the direct governance of Han Qi, don't say that Zhang Han now has an official body, even if he is a white-bodied businessman, the governor of the military gate wants to deal with him, it is also a very light-hearted trivial matter, as the saying goes, the county that breaks the family, the Taishou who destroys the door, and the status of the governor wants to deal with Zhang Han, in the eyes of many people, I am afraid it is to reach out and twist a bed bug to death.

At this moment, the back door of the branch opened, and someone led a red horse from the stable, straddled and rode up, and galloped away in the direction of the outside of the city.

"It's going to be a lot of trouble from now on...... Tian Jitang sighed, and his face gradually showed a look of perseverance, no matter what, the more he wants to support the proprietor at this time, this is a person's most basic ethics!

……

Han Qi brought a lot of followers, and after entering the governor's station, he and Wenqiu sat opposite each other and drank tea, waiting for the people to handle some trivial things for the handover.

The governor does not directly control the financial power, unlike the local seal officials, who must first clean up the treasury and check the deficit when handing over, and only after the amount is determined can the predecessor leave office, and the successor will take over the seal, otherwise it will fall into a stalemate, and even the successor will impeach the predecessor...... However, it is like a broken face, and the officialdom is not very good...... The deficit is something that everyone will have, it's just a matter of how much, if the deficit is not too large, the general successor will bear it.

Han Qi and Wenqiu both had a light and breezy face...... Those affairs related to money and food are handed over to the master's staff to do, they sit and drink tea, chatting about some anecdotes about the court and the place, Wenqiu will first go to Beijing to report on his work and face the saint, and then go to Baoding to take office, Han Qi introduced some Jingshi's restaurants to Wenqiu, he has just returned from Beijing, and he has the latest target map.

Officials can't go to Yanle Hutong under the Department of Education, and Han Qi and Wenqiu's friendship is not enough, otherwise Han Qi still wants to exchange with Wenqiu about his experience of going to Yanle Hutong.

After less than an hour of chaos, the subordinates of the two governors came to report separately, and the inspection handover was completed.

Wenqiu pointed to a rectangular guard on the table and said with a smile: "Brother, this guard is here, so we can hand it over." ”

In addition to the customs defense, there is also a complete set of royal flags in this house, which is equivalent to the function of the Shang Fang sword, which can impeach officials of several grades, and can be directly dismissed without waiting for the court, or directly beheaded people, even if they have official positions.

Of course, this thing is not used casually, and if it is used incorrectly, it will also bear political consequences. The famous Shang Fang Sword beheading Mao Wenlong incident planted a thorn in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, and later Yuan Chonghuan really suffered a considerable price because of it.

Han Qi's eyes were a little greedy, he was a second-class Jinshi, he was not selected for Hanlin, he was directly released to the county, and later the imperial history was selected by the museum, and the imperial history was taken according to the inspection of the affairs, and then the four-grade senator, and then the military preparation road, and then the political envoy, it was the promotion roadmap of the local magistrate standard, this governor he had been thinking about it for a long time, and now he was successfully selected due to fate, which has a deep background, but he finally got what he wanted.

"The student is going to Jingshi." Wenqiu got up and said goodbye: "The New Year is coming, it is better to be sooner rather than later, the students say goodbye, and the boss can arrange it calmly." ”

The governor can't take his family with him in office, of course, he is not strict now, and there are also officials who will bring their children and nephews to help with things, and they will also take concubines in office, after all, people are not grass and trees, and they have been officials in different places for many years, and it is too inhumane for the chief teacher to be accompanied by the five girls, Han Qi brought a lot of people this time, Wenqiu was a little disapproving, and still said the words "calmly arranged", which was slightly sarcastic.

Han Qi didn't pay attention to this, no matter what you say, anyway, I will be a good official, but Han Qi thought about it, because he said to Wen Qiu: "Is the Tianchengwei Daliangshan Inspection Division set up by the boss?" ”

"That's what the students set it up for." Wen Qiu said: "Because there are many bandits in the mountains all the way from Tianchengwei to Xinpingbao, they often go down the mountain to disturb the place and rob the merchants. ”

Wenqiu's words are beyond reproach, and the imperial court has established or abandoned many inspection divisions, of course, the Tusi are not counted.

Han Qi said: "The students heard that the command of Tianchengwei's palm print is still effective, the place is quiet, Xinpingbao heard of bandits last year, Zheng Bingbei and Ma Shen General are also effective, and there has been no movement since then, the inspection department is located in Li Zhuang, in fact, it is not very useful, if the inspection security has been returned, otherwise the students will have something to deal with." ”

Wenqiu heard this: "Li Zhuang's inspection is not a student's willful behavior, but the governor, the patrol, and Yang and the military are all agreed, if Master Han insists on removing, I am afraid it will not be beautiful." ”

Reading out such a string of names, Han Qi also felt a little powerless, but he then gritted his teeth and said: "Inspect Zhang, he has always been illegal, if he can change his ways, it would be good, otherwise the boss can't blame the student for being ruthless." ”

Of course, Han Qi wants to deal with Zhang Han, and he plans to do it as soon as he arrives in Datong.

In the past, he was in Taiyuan, and the whip was out of reach, even if he gritted his teeth with hatred, there was nothing he could do, but now he is in Datong, if he doesn't take Zhang Han's child for the first time, then he Han Qi is not worthy of the surname Han.

Wenqiu was also a little surprised to see Han Qi's appearance, the dignified governor hated a businessman patrol so much, one was a military and political officer with the title of the left deputy capital imperial history, and the other was a businessman-born miscellaneous nine-grade inspection, and the difference in strength was really not like that, even if Zhang Han was involved in smuggling, he allowed a lot of benefits to all aspects of various places in advance, thus creating a good relationship network, but the relationship network is just a relationship network, and if there is a benefit, it is the best for the family, if it is for some benefits, it will turn against a real governor like Han Qi, I'm afraid that even Zheng Bingbei, who is closest to Zhang Han, may not be like this, let alone others.
