Chapter 922: Flat Adjustment Ying Nanfu?
He went into the city quietly, for fear of being known and ruining his own good deeds. This Lu Chen's pomp is big enough, is this to greet him personally?
Gu Chengyu pursed his lips, Lu Chen must have come this time to be a bad person. Last time, he was put on a show by himself, and Lu Chen couldn't tell how he hated himself!
Why did the emperor have to get Lu Chen together with him? I don't know if he and Lu Chen are incompatible? This person likes to take credit for himself.
He sighed, "Let's go!" Go and greet Lord Lu! ”
Even if Gu Chengyu's grade is the same as Lu Chen's, but Lu Chen came from afar, if he doesn't go out to greet him, it can't be said.
"But the commander Lord Lu came to Yingnan Mansion? Then the lower official should also go to greet it! ”
Guo Haoshou heard that it was Lu Chen who came, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Lu Chennai is the second son of the Marquis of Zhan Yuan's mansion, or the maiden nephew of Concubine Jing, and he is cousin to King Gong!
This is a serious relative of the emperor, and the power of the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion in the capital is not small. If he can climb to the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion, wouldn't there be great hope for him to be promoted?
Li Taixing offended Gu Chengyu and found so much silver from the outer house. With this silver alone, Li Taixing can't turn over.
He has been serving as the governor of Yingnan Mansion for more than ten years, and when the last prefect was promoted, he was full of thought that he would definitely be promoted to the position of prefect.
Who would have thought that Li Taixing suddenly came and grabbed his seat, which made him feel very angry and helpless.
This time Li Taixing made a mistake, and his opportunity came. He must climb to the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion, even if the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion is King Gong's foreign family, he will not hesitate to do it.
It's been too long in the position of Tongzhi, as long as he can move his ass, he will be satisfied.
His requirements are not high, and he only thinks about the prefect seat of Yingnanfu.
Gu Chengyu knew what Guo Haoshou was thinking at a glance, and he had a general impression of this Guo Haoshou. People are a little treacherous, but their nature is not bad, they just like to drill camps.
However, there is nothing wrong with that. After all, the other party has no connections in the officialdom, if you want to climb up, then you can't please the top, or find a capable backer?
Guo Haoshou also showed favor to him before, probably because he was valued by the emperor. Now that Lu Chen is here, Guo Haoshou will most likely choose to move closer to Lu Chen.
Because of this thing, it is the most unreliable. Maybe the emperor values you today, your career is open, and your promotion is like a rocket.
But once you lose the emperor's holy favor, those courtiers you offend on weekdays can come forward and step on you.
At that time, you will be like a dead crab, and you will stop eating completely.
Therefore, you still have to cultivate your own power, so strong that even the emperor can't ignore you, just like the first assistant Xia Qing.
No matter what reason the emperor indulged in him, it was Xia Qing's ability.
And Lu Chen is much more stable than him, after all, he is a family in the capital. The family has a huge network, and as long as they don't do things to usurp the throne or collude with foreign countries, they will generally not be easily subverted.
Lu Chen asked the carriage to go slower, and seeing that it was about to reach the city gate, Lu Chen lifted the curtain and looked at the city gate.
Because of the presentation of the post and the tooth card, the officials and soldiers who defended the city already knew that the imperial court had sent a high official.
They evacuated the people who left the city and entered the city, and at this moment the gate of the city was full of gates, which was very different from the lively scene just now.
"See? It was a disaster relief silver tael sent by the imperial court, and those victims were no longer afraid of starvation. With so many chests, how much silver does it have to be? ”
Seeing such a big battle at the city gate, a common man hurriedly stepped aside and looked lively.
"Huh? You don't have to look at so many chests, but it's not a lot of silver. Didn't you say that it was only 50,000 taels? 50,000 taels of disaster victims is enough to choke, let alone strengthen the river embankment. Lord Gu has found so many victims to divert the river embankment in Yingnanfu for us, but it costs a lot of silver, can these 50,000 taels? What's more, there is Hang Tianfu! These are big projects. ”
One of them is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he is very reasonable.
"That's it! Master Gu is really a good official! For the sake of our people, he also gave up his face to ask rich businessmen to donate silver, and controlled the price of rice and grain not to rise. In order for us to keep eating, we have worked tirelessly to buy food from other state capitals. Compared with those black-hearted businessmen, Master Gu is really a Qing official who serves the country and the people. ”
"Yes! It is said that Master Gu wrote down the silver one by one in the account, and every time he used it, there was a detailed account. Not only is he not greedy for silver, but even these officials under him are strict. Who of the victims of the disaster today does not obey the adults? If Master Gu became the prefect of our Yingnan Mansion, how good would it be? ”
"That's impossible, Lord Gu is a Beijing official, and when the disaster relief is completed, he must still have to go back to the capital."
Several people admired Gu Chengyu very much, and the voices of discussion were not small, and there were people on the side who continued to join in and discuss with them.
Qingquan rode a horse to the forefront, and when he heard these people praise Gu Chengyu so much, he couldn't help but look at them in surprise.
This Lord Gu has just come to Jiangnan, and he is so loved by the people? I don't know how it was done.
Gu Chengyu sat in the carriage and slowly walked forward. He was closing his eyes and pondering, Lu Chen came, and it became very inconvenient for him to act.
The grain in the granary has not yet been replenished and is still being consumed daily.
I don't know if Lu Chen will write a piece of music and go to the capital to read it in front of the emperor.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the officials think that the matter of the Chamber of Commerce cannot be implemented at present, and please think twice about it! In addition, although Li Taixing, the prefect of Yingnanfu, has conclusive evidence of the crime, but now that Yingnanfu has no prefect in charge, what kind of system has it become? The officials must immediately draw up a list and make a decision by His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
Xia Qing changed the style of not opening his mouth until the critical moment, and as soon as he entered the prince's East Palace, he began to do things.
The crown prince nodded, "In response to the tax and bribery of Li Taixing, the prefect of Nanfu, wait for Gu Shaoqing to escort people back to Beijing, and then make a decision." This should be that there is no one in the southern mansion to sit in the yamen, so naturally it will not work. However, the palace heard that Guo Haoshou, the same acquaintance of Yingnanfu, has been an official in Yingnanfu for more than ten years, and he still understands the situation in Yingnanfu. What do you think if he takes over? ”
The prince skipped the matter of the Chamber of Commerce and did not mention it, and first talked about the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture.
"Your Highness! If Guo Tongzhi was qualified to be the prefect of Yingnan Prefecture, then when the last prefect was promoted, Li Taixing would not have been sent to take over, and the lower officials thought that Gu Shaoqing was a suitable candidate. Xia Guan saw that he knew the situation in Jiangnan very well, and he was very good at managing the river, so what did His Highness think if Gu Shaoqing was transferred to go? ”
Xia Qing stroked his beard, and nodded after speaking, as if he had put forward his opinion after careful consideration.
