When Wei Zheng dragged his already slightly tired body back to the Taiyuan General Military Mansion, he was directly startled by the lively scene at the gate of the General Military Mansion.

More than a dozen official sedan chairs of different colors were parked on both sides of the entrance of the General Military Mansion, plus the servants and guards who carried the sedan chair, hundreds of people in front and back, almost blocking the street at the entrance of the General Military Mansion.

Just when Wei Zheng showed a puzzled expression on his face, Wang Zhongyu behind him suddenly spoke: "My lord, these people are still quite knowledgeable about current affairs. After knowing that there would be no way out with the governor, I changed my door and came to see you overnight, hoping to get your approval..."

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he replied thoughtfully: "Change the court....not to my surprise, this is only one of the aspects." Don't forget, there are vacancies in the current Taiyuan Prefect and Taiyuan Governor, and these two positions are shortage. I'm sure most of them are staring at these two positions. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there were very strict rules on what grade of officials rode in what color official sedan chair, and no one could cross it.

Therefore, under the reminder of Wang Zhongyu in the rear of the side, Wei Zheng could see at a glance that the civil and military officials below the fourth rank of Taiyuan Mansion who came to meet him were all below...... is so anxious to leave a good impression in front of himself, if it weren't for the sake of running for office, Wei Zheng wouldn't believe it when he said it.

At this time, Wei Zheng continued: "It just so happens that I also plan to pick out a few good officials among the civil and military officials in Taiyuan Mansion for my use, since they are all here, then I just want to read them all at once." Let's see who it really is. I can pass my test. has the ability to become the prefect of Taiyuan..."

Then, Wei Zheng's words changed and whispered to Wang Zhongyu.

"General Wang, among these people, there should be a military attache you are very familiar with....You let him spread some rumors to these civil and military officials outside the General Military Mansion, and tell them that I, the governor of Shanxi, am very greedy for money, and I want to become the prefect of Taiyuan. When you become the governor of Taiyuan Mansion, you will bring me silver to buy..."

"Also, you have to do it to convince everyone of this rumor......"

Wei Zheng went around to the back door of the General Military Mansion, and after quietly returning to the General Military Mansion, a rumor quickly spread among the civil and military officials at the gate of the General Military Mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you all know......Your Excellency the Governor, who has just taken office, looks jealous and hateful on the surface, but in fact is very greedy for money."

"One of my colleagues who was the county magistrate in Datong sued me. When the Governor first took up the post of commander-in-chief of Datong, he was for money. He even held a feast in the General Military Palace, and forcibly distributed silver to all the gentry who attended the banquet in the name of providing relief to the victims....In just one night, the Governor General distributed millions of taels from the Datong Mansion..."

"I don't know if you have enough silver, but our Governor's heart is big, a few thousand taels of silver, and I don't look at him at all..."

"If you want the Governor to value you and give you a higher official, it is impossible to do it without a hundred thousand taels of silver."

At this time, a Qipin county commander retorted in a low voice: "Lord Wang, it's impossible...... The Governor has just killed so many corrupt officials on charges of embezzlement and bribery during the day, and now he collects the money, so the change is too great..."

This so-called Lord Wang replied with a look of disdain on his face: "Lord Li, it's no surprise that you don't even have ten taels of silver on you now... As poor as you are, I assure you, you won't even see the face of the Governor..."

Then, turning to his colleague with a thoughtful face, he continued: "As the saying goes, no one thinks he has more money in his hand, and neither does our Governor. It is definitely better to bring money with you than not to bring it at all. ”

And at this moment, perhaps to confirm this sentence, the door of the General Soldier's Mansion, which had been closed, was finally opened.

At the same time, a guard with a sword strode out and shouted to the adults in front of him.

"Your Excellency the Taiyuan Commander-in-Chief, send a congratulatory gift of 50,000 taels of silver to congratulate your Excellency on your promotion to the Governor of Shanxi ......"

The governor's henchman Wang Zhongyu gave 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention those who can't be called henchmen.

So, after hearing the words shouted by the guards with knives, a thick smile immediately appeared on the faces of the people with silver on their bodies outside the General Army's mansion. With the silver in his hand, he walked quickly to the door of the General Soldier's Mansion and waited for the Wei to summon him.

The civil and military officials, who did not have the silver with them, hurriedly ordered the stewards and guards to go back quickly to get the silver....

As for the few civil officials who are honest and honest, they have no money to give at all. The face that was still hesitant just now, at this moment, has revealed an unprecedented solemnity.

Because, if Wei Zheng really told everyone, he was a corrupt official, and he was also a corrupt official who became the governor of Shanxi. Those who do not have the silver to honor themselves will definitely be excluded in their future official careers...

When colleagues walked into the General Military Mansion with a large number of silver tickets, and then left the General Military Mansion with a satisfied smile on their faces, these people became more worried about their official future.

As the official sedan chairs in front of the General Military Mansion left one after another, several officials led by the general judge of Datong Mansion had to walk to the door of the General Military Mansion and said.

"Datong Mansion Commander Wang Yang and all the adults have come to meet the Governor, please trouble the guard brothers to report it..."

"Where's the silver...."Under Wei Zheng's explanation, the personal guard didn't seem to hear this, and directly stretched out his right hand in front of Lord Wang Yangwang, and asked with a proud face.

A smile full of bitterness quickly appeared on the faces of Wang Yang and several officials behind him.

As the saying goes, 'the seven officials in front of the prime minister....'

In order to see Wei Zheng, Wang Yang, who was the general judge of the Taiyuan Mansion of the Imperial Court, had to hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart and continued with a smile.

"This made a brother laugh....We are not as rich as other officials, and we often pay tens of thousands of taels of silver....Even if we give out silver, it is only a few dozen taels, and it makes people laugh at it. So, we really don't have any money, so please let this brother go in and report it..."

"You really don't have any money...," the guard asked rhetorically, with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Not really..."

After receiving Wang Yang's repeated confirmation, the guards walked into the General Soldier's Mansion with a complicated expression of unwillingness and dissatisfaction.

Just when Wang Yang and the others thought that Governor Wei Zheng would definitely not see him, an accident happened.

The guard who had just left couldn't help but lose the dissatisfaction on his face, but said to Wang Yang with a smile: "Lord Wang, there are several other adults, just now the last general offended....Lord Governor has an order, let you go in immediately....Lord Governor is waiting for you in the lobby..."
