"Who stipulates that at dinner," the man said lightly, "you still have to wear official uniforms?"

"And what about your third class officer?" Wang pretended to say: "Even if they are off work, they should all live in the mansion, don't think about me."

The house doesn't raise idlers, and it can't afford idlers, so the man said coldly: "You have asked enough, now it's time for the official to ask you, who are you?" ”

"This official Taifu Temple Shaoqing Wang Ban" Wang Ban said in a deep voice: "These are the officials who follow His Majesty's southern tour, let me ask you one last time, are you really the prefect of Huai'an?" ”

"This official is exactly." The man had already seen that these people were officials from the capital, so he was not surprised, and said without changing his face: "What are you looking for me?" If it is an official business, please show the decree of the upper peak. ”

"Hmm" Wang Split was stunned, he couldn't imagine that the other party was still so calm after knowing his identity. I couldn't help but blurt out, "What's your name?" ”

"The official's surname is Hai Mingrui, the word Wangfeng." The thin, yellow-faced man said: "You said that you are Lord Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, please show your Guan Fang Wenyi, and this official must also verify your identity." "It turned out that he was Hai Rui, and I don't know when he was transferred from Nanjing to Huai'an.

If Wang Jian had been mixed up in the area of Jiang Ximin and Fujian, he would inevitably change his attitude immediately after hearing this name, and no longer provoke this Haiyan King, but he was a northerner and had been an official in Beijing, and Hai Rui had not yet reached the point of being famous throughout the country, so Wang Lu didn't know him at all, and thought he had met an official with a stimulated brain.

"This" Wang pretended to nod depressedly and said: "Okay, let you recognize the person, let's talk about business, the young man behind him took out Wang Jian's seal letter from the baggage and showed it to Na Hai Rui."

Hai Rui looked at the light and knew that it was not a fake, so he nodded and said, "It turned out to be Wang Shaoqing." Disrespectful and disrespectful, I don't know what you have to do here, what is the convenience of this official business? ”

Hearing that he was still official, Wang pretended to snort and said, "Don't pretend, I don't believe you don't know." What am I here for? ”

Lord Wang laughed. This official never deceives people! Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "I'm not a fortune teller, how do you know why you came here?" ”

"You" Wang Ji said angrily: "At this time, the official of Taifu Temple, what else can you do here?" ”

"There's a lot of work to do." Hai Rui said lightly: "For example, inspecting Ma Zheng and buying good horses," the official can't guess

"Do you have horses on this side of the Huai River?" The royal costume almost collapsed, and before he could speak, the attaché on the side couldn't help it first, "They followed the emperor south, and they didn't do such an errand once or twice, which time the magistrate was not careful to flatter." One bite an adult, lest the greeting be inconsiderate. Even if it was the governor's political envoy, he didn't dare to hold it up in front of them. So he didn't take this Huai'an prefect in his eyes at all, and pointed to it and said sharply: "You surnamed Hai, don't pretend to be stupid with us, you dare to say that you don't know about the emperor's southern tour?!" ”

"The emperor's southern tour" Hai Rui Mu said: "Of course I know, the lower officials have already received the text from the imperial court. ”

"And you don't know what we're doing?" The official glared at the cannibalism.

"What do you have to do with the emperor's southern tour? Hai Rui looked puzzled.

"We are officials who stand for the emperor." As a Beijing official, when facing the magistrate. There is always a sense of superiority, so Wang Yi didn't want to lose his nobility in front of Hai Rui, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Hai, the emperor will be stationed in your mansion the day after tomorrow, how are you prepared?" ”

"Exactly" in accordance with. The emperor's request" Hai Rui Zhengse said: "It has been prepared." ”

"Ready?" Wang Split and the others looked at each other and said, "What are you preparing?" ”

"The inn has been cleaned". Hai Rui said: "The emperor can be in charge at any time."

"What else? Wang Jian asked.

"And," Hai Rui thought for a moment and said, "Oh." I also bought some souvenirs and asked the emperor to try them

"What's there?"

"Pu Cai, Chawei, and bundled hooves" Hai Rui said: "All specialities, the emperor has never eaten them."

Listening to Hai Rui's words, Wang Fu and the others opened their mouths wide. They couldn't close for a long time, they didn't know if Hai Rui was really stupid or fake, if he was really stupid, how did he become the honor of this mansion? If it's fake stupid, is it true that his old birthday star eats arsenic and has lived enough?

After a long time, Wang Fu came back to his senses, and secretly calculated: "In any case, I have to pass this pass first, otherwise I will have to be unlucky with this mallet." In order to let the superintendent do his best, Sister Yuan ordered him to be jointly and severally liable with the magistrate, and the superintendent was also subject to the punishment of the magistrate.

Thinking of this, he gave up the meaningless question, and went straight to the point: "Lord Hai, whether you really don't understand or are fake, the emperor will be here soon." You don't have anything to prepare here. Didn't you think about the consequences? Then he raised his voice and said, "Please immediately mobilize all the officials and rich merchants and people of the city, and I will command everything, and use this day to make up for it; I'll say a few more words in front of the emperor and Yuan Ge Lao to help you turn around

"Lord Wang's kindness, the lower officials have understood it." Hai Rui didn't appreciate it and said: "But don't bother?" The king pretended to be angry and said, "You are not afraid of death." Don't implicate others in your bad luck! ”

"How do you say this" Hai Rui said with a blank face: "This official is not greedy or readful, and obeys the holy order, who will want my life."

"Since the emperor went south, the states and counties along the canal, which one has not been wholeheartedly prepared. Big things to buy, lest the hospitality is not good, regardless of the cost? Wang Fu sneered and said, "There are more than seventy officials like this." Because of negligence, faux pas, negligence and other crimes, he was dismissed and investigated. There are even those who were caught in prison by Dongchang! Isn't it a capital crime for you to deliberately neglect the Huai'an Mansion? ! ”

"Lord Wang's words have confused the lower officials." Hai Rui arched his hand towards the north and said: "Last month, the lower official received an edict from the province, and the edict is in. The emperor clearly demanded that the local government should not disturb the people in the name of receiving the driver, not wasting in the name of taking the driver, and not allowing the looting in the name of taking the driver. His face changed again, and he said to Wang Ban with a cold face: "Now you come to tell me that you must buy and prepare extravagantly" is contrary to the holy oracle. Whose idea was it? ”

"Of course it is," the emperor meant. Wang Crack said in a sullen voice, he was almost depressed to death.

"Then please show the holy decree, Hai Rui stretched out his hand.

The king was a little dizzy by him, and smashed his mouth. "You know. There are some things that can only be understood but not spoken, and we must understand the meaning." said in a low voice: "The emperor's holy decree." It's just for show, how can you take it seriously? I don't see other people, how should I prepare, how can I prepare? ”

"I don't see it." Hai Rui said with a stiff face: "Forgive the official for being lonely and unheard." I only know about the affairs of this house. ”

"You!" An official who came with Wang was angry. Pointing at Hai Rui, he said, "I think you are just trying to make trouble!" ”

"This officer acts in accordance with the divine decree! Never go beyond the rules". Hai Rui's eyes were like lightning as he stared at the man. He was shocked and said: "It's you, first, you don't have a holy decree, and second, you don't wear official clothes, so you are here to talk nonsense, and ask this official to do this and that, it's really troublemaker!" ”

"I can't tell you!" Wang Yi was so angry with him that he had no cultivation, and took out an envelope from his arms and said, "This is Yuan Ge Lao's handwritten letter." See for yourself". He was worried that he would have an argument with the magistrate, and no one would listen to anyone. So I played a warrant with Sister Yuan, of course, Sister Yuan asked him not to take it out unless it was absolutely necessary.

Obviously, in Wang Li's view, now is the last resort.

Hai Rui took it and looked at the letter by the light, which read, "I hereby send someone to your place to supervise the handling of the driver, and please be sure to cooperate with Yunyun." The signature was Yuan Sister, a member of the Cabinet University, and his private seal was also stamped.

"Now you have nothing to say." Wang Fu sneered.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Who knew that Hai Rui didn't buy the account of the scholar, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Ge Lao's order conflicts with the holy oracle, and the subordinate officials don't know which one to obey."

"Of course it's the old man!" Wang Split's attaché said hurriedly.

"That means you don't listen to the emperor?" Hai Rui asked rhetorically with a smirk.

"Of course not" the man hurriedly said: "The emperor should listen more, but the emperor also has the same meaning as Yuan Gelao." ”

"I have the pleasure in black and white here, but it means the opposite." Hai Rui's eyes were like lightning as he stared at the man: "Where is your commandment?" It can't be a fabrication! ”

"You" The man was dumbfounded by Hai Rui, and then Wang Split said in a deep voice: "Since you can't communicate with Lord Hai. Please gather your men, and the official will scrape the word to them, and I believe that there is still a sense of reason! ”

"This," Hai Rui said, "you will have to wait until tomorrow to see them."

"Why?" Wang Jian said.

"Because they don't live in the government." Hai Rui said: "The official dismissed the cooks of the government, so they could only go home for dinner. ”

You, "You're really good." Wang Split laughed angrily and said, "Who followed a boss like you." It's really gone to eight lifetimes of blood mold. ”

After waiting for a night, Wang Fu and the others finally waited until the next morning, when the drum sounded again, there were seven or eight low-level officials dressed up and hurried in, but when the drum sounded three times, it was still these seven or eight people, and there was no half of a figure

"Where, where." Hai Rui said lightly: "All the officials in this mansion have arrived, please speak to Lord Wang."

"Done?" Wang Ri's eyes almost fell to the ground, although he was a Beijing official, he also knew that there were at least more than 100 people in the yamen at the government level. Why is there only seven or eight in this Huai'an Mansion. couldn't help but say with a dark face: "Don't joke with Lord Hai, is there anyone who is late and hasn't arrived?" ”

Without Hai Rui, he said: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty." Each prefecture should have a prefect, a co-intellectual, a general judge, an officer, an experience, a governor, a light mill, a school inspector, and a prison

"Really?. The king forbade asking those humanitarians.

Indeed, those people said with sad faces: "My lord, since the Lord of our mansion came, what kind of elite soldiers have been streamlined, and all the scribes, officials, officials, and messengers who are paid by the government have been opened, that is, we people, if not the officials have files." The state pays salaries, and I am afraid that it will also be streamlined. ”

"There's so much going on in the whole house. Who's going to do it? Wang Split's eyes widened at Jiang Dao.

"We" a few people whispered: "Of course, Lord Fuzun alone has more than half of it." ”

"What if we catch the bandits and keep the law?" Wang Ban will be suspicious: "It also depends on you weak scholars to do it?" "Then you don't need to" those people into one, "Our adults will temporarily convene the strong men of the armor."

"What can those people do?" The king pretended to say: "It's all from ordinary people's families, isn't it to use them to add chaos?" ”

"Adults don't know, our people here are fierce, and in addition, the men are very capable of fighting." Although they had a lot of opinions about Hai Rui, they still couldn't hide their admiration: "In previous years, officials went to the countryside and were often beaten back, but Lord Fuzun used the villagers to govern the villagers, so there was no such problem,"

"So, Hai Jui dismissed all the officials?" Wang Split completely collapsed, he felt that Hai Rui was from another world, and completely ignored the rules of this world. At this moment, he lost the courage to continue, and asked a group of Huai'an officials in a trembling voice: "Do you listen to me, or listen to him?" ”

Everyone looked at Wang Split, then at Hai Rui, and whispered: "We listen to Lord Fuzun" The implication is that unless you withdraw Hai Rui, we really don't dare to listen to you.

"Good, good, good" said three good words in a row, Wang Ban said: "I don't care, you can do it yourself, I'll go back, waiting to see your good show" said with a wave of his sleeves and said: "Go!" "He has grass growing in his heart now. I really don't know how to explain to the mean and unkind Lord Yuan.

"Wait" Hai stood up and said, "I have a letter here, which is addressed to Yuan Ge Lao." If you show it to him, you will not be troubled by you, Madame Wang. ”

Wang Wei was stunned, took the letter, looked at Hai Rui carefully, and said softly: "Why are you bothering to come here? ”

"But I want to pitch without shame." Hai Rui said lightly.

Hearing Hai Rui's words, Wang Ban took a deep look at him, and then left with his subordinates with a complicated face.

Looking at the figures of those people in the distance, the subordinates of Huai'an Mansion said worriedly: "My lord, we will be fine, right?" ”

"Put your heart in your stomach." Haiduan got up and said, "When the sky falls, I'll stand on it, and you guys beat the drum to buy sugar." To each his own business, not to each other. ”

"Yes." The officials were really relieved when they heard that Hai Rui would be responsible, although their boss would not trust others, but Hai Rui's words. They believed.

The king ran all the way at twice the speed of the trip, and finally returned to the southern tour at noon that day. told Yuan Ge Lao about what happened to him in Huai'an Mansion, Yuan Fei was so angry that his face turned purple, and said: "In the past few years, I have heard people talk about the sea pen holder, but it is just a story, and I can't imagine that it is really a two hundred and five who are not afraid of death." ”

Wang Wei took out Hai Rui's letter from his bosom and said, "There is another letter written by Hai Rui to you. ”

Yuan Fu took it, opened it and took a look, only to see Hai Rui's general effect: "We have received a holy decree asking us to entertain Congjian." But as far as I know, in order to receive the emperor, a lot of money is spent in various places, and every time the emperor goes, all places are everywhere. Filial piety to the emperor", looting people's wealth and extravagance, which is obviously not in line with the emperor's "simple and thrifty, not allowed to welcome." of the Lord's Decree. Now that the emperor is about to come to Huai'an, we are deeply embarrassed by this, such as doing things frugally according to the holy decree, and we are deeply afraid of being scolded; If you follow the example of other places and entertain lavishly, you are afraid that it will go against the emperor's original intention of being considerate of the people. May I ask Ge Lao, what should we do? ”

After reading Hai Rui's letter, Yuan Shi's face turned purple with anger, he knew that this was Hai Rui's army, and if he followed the established itinerary. The holy driver also went to Huai'an to stay, and the preparation time was no longer enough. At that time, Hai Rui was unlucky, the emperor was furious, and he had no good fruit to eat.

Thinking that he had called for wind and rain for half a year, he had let a small prefect put it together, Yuan Fu couldn't help but hate the root of his teeth, and said: "Hai Rui, let's ride a donkey to read the account book, and we'll see!" He had already made up his mind, and sooner or later he would have this bad breath.

"Elder Ge, don't be in a hurry to deal with that sea net peak at this time, he can't run anyway." Wang Ban whispered: "The question now is, does the emperor still want to stay in Huai'an?" ”

"It's a fart!" Yuan Fu scolded: "Let the fleet speed up, cross Huai'an overnight, and let the emperor stay in Yangzhou." ”

"That's the only way," Wang said suddenly, "I think Hai Rui fought with this idea." ”

"Still use your!" Sister Yuan really wanted to whip him, so she scolded viciously: "Hurry up and go to Yangzhou, if there is another leak this time, you don't have to come back!" ”

"It's me again?!" Wang Lu said with a bitter face: "Elder Ge, I am running back and forth, my crotch is also worn out, and my waist is about to break, so you can't change people,"

"I can't." Yuan Fu said with a dark face: "This is your punishment." ”

"Well, well, Wang Split is going to die of depression.

A day later, the fleet of the southern tour passed through Shanyang County, and went south without stopping, Hai Rui, dressed in cloth, stood on the shore, looking at the fleet that covered the sky and the sun, and couldn't help but whisper: "Chengxing Nanyou is not martial law, who is the nine provincial letters?" The spring breeze is the whole country to cut the palace brocade, half as a barrier and half as a sail

"Okay, you dare to compare the current saint to Emperor Suichang!" A voice sounded behind him, startling Hai Rui's face pale.

Today's chapter has since turned back to the protagonist's perspective. ）
