Chapter 32 The road to the rivers and lakes is lonely

8days ago Historical fiction 7
In addition to being a fifth-rank official, Donghai also has another position: Interviewer of the Ministry of Rites.No grade.

Hu Ying told Zhang Ning that there are more than 50 people in various places who also have interview titles, most of whom are Juren, and some have no fame.For you, this road is also a shortcut to Zhongnan.

Hu Ying was fooling around here, and his abacus was very obvious, and he probably did not intend to hide it.

It’s nothing more than Zhang Ning and Yu Qian and Lu Zhen’s student. To Hu Ying develops him, it’s just a bridge for the back road. Even if it’s a small wooden bridge, he doesn’t lose much.

And what he said about Zhongnan shortcut is really that good?

Zhang Ning is not very optimistic about its future. His rank may be promoted quickly, but he is all redundant. As the saying goes, the emperor and the minister may be abolished one day. It is true that Emperor Yongle will be able to make a fortune. That is because the matter of Jianwen has always been a shadow in Emperor Yongle's heart. Will the next emperor still care about this matter?

However, Zhang Ning didn't care about the future. He just wanted to get the poem written by Peach Blossom Fairy to eliminate hidden dangers. If you want to do this, you can't live in the capital every day at two o'clock and one line every day like now. You can't do anything at this position.

If this matter cannot be solved, no future will be safe. Maybe one day I will find that thing, what is the use of being a great official?

For example, many fugitives who were not captured eventually chose to surrender because they were like maggots on the bones, which made people feel that they might lose everything at any time.

So Zhang Ning and Hu Ying had their own plans, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to take action, and the negotiation went very smoothly.

Zhang Ning guessed Hu Ying's plan, but Hu Ying was not sure about his true intentions.

So he learned a trick from Hu Ying and waited calmly. Sure enough, Hu Ying quickly took the initiative to propose: The interviewee in Yangzhou was transferred before, and Taohua Villa is another important clue. There is a shortage of people there. Ping An can go to Yangzhou to investigate this line secretly.

Zhang Ning couldn't get it, so he said happily: Follow Hu Butang's arrangements in everything.

At this point, Hu Ying had nothing extra to say, but only explained: The Donghai will do the specific matter, you will listen to him.

...Then Zhang Ning continued to pay the bill at the Ministry of Rites and did not mention any words about Gao Sheng, who was concerned about Huang Shiren.A few days later, Wang Qinian sent someone to call him over, perhaps the errand had been arranged.

When we met, Wang Qinian looked very enthusiastic and said with a look of spring breeze: From now on, you and I will be colleagues.

In fact, weren’t you a colleague before?However, Zhang Ning understood his meaning and clasped his fists and said: Lord Wang should give me more support.

Ping'an's direct subordinate was Wu Yong and Zhizhong, a doctor of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. He reported all the interview envoys to him in the future, and obeyed his orders.

Wang Qinian said calmly, I have done the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, and Ping An is about to be promoted to Yangzhou Prefecture's Promotion Officer, but you don't need to ask about the government affairs of Yangzhou Prefecture, because the government office already has a Promotion Officer.When you arrive in Yangzhou, you only need to hand over the official documents and receive an official salary in the mansion according to your rank; the prefect cannot control you, and you don’t have to listen to him, just obey Wu Yong.

There are some written rules in the officialdom of the state. For example, Zhejiang people cannot serve as officials of the Ministry of Revenue, and local officials cannot serve in their hometown provinces. Yangzhou belongs to Nanzhili, and Zhang Ning is also from Nanzhili. Now he goes to Nanzhili to be an official. I think this redundant official is extremely irregular. The only meaning of a nominal official position in the administrative system is probably that level.

Yangzhou Prefecture's official is a seventh-rank official, which seems to be very consistent with the rules of promotion at first glance. Generally, the ninth-rank official will be promoted to the seventh-rank official when he goes to the local area.

Zhang Ning felt that he needed to ask some questions, so he said: What should the officials do when they arrive at the local area and what should they not do?

Wang Qinian said: Let’s talk about what you shouldn’t do first, don’t ask about other interviewees. You only need to contact Wu Yong at the top; don’t mention the interviewee’s responsibilities in front of your colleagues.Because there may be a small number of officials in the court who colluded with the Jianwen Rebellion, two of them were found in the past few years...

When Zhang Ning heard this, his eyes twitched and said to himself that I really didn't collude with the Jianwen Rebellion.

Wang Qinian continued: Before you take office, I will give you a list of contacts and detailed works on the list.You only need to show the seal to the contact person, and you will arrange whatever you want to do in the future.Regularly report to Wu Yong on the content of the service, funding accounts, etc.

Zhang Ning nodded and soon understood the nature of these people. It was probably an intelligence agency with various secret spies.

This thing is not a strange thing in the cognition of modern people, so the knowledge he remembers from the information explosion era is still very useful, and he understands things very quickly.

He asked curiously again: According to Lord Wang’s opinion, what is the case with the sects in the martial arts world?There are scholars in the world, but is there a saying about martial arts?

Wulin?Does peace refer to the military exercises organized by the Ministry of War?Wang Qinian was stunned.

Zhang Ning hurriedly said: I just asked, it is said that people from the world are wandering around and have martial arts skills.

That's true.

Wang Qinian nodded, there are several types of sects in the world. One is the legal monks and Taoists with imperial certificates, such as the Shaolin and Wudang Mountain sects, who preached Buddhism and Taoists; the other is the White Lotus Sect, Ming Cult and some cults among the chieftains. They have been explicitly prohibited by the court. They may deceive people and rob property, or have ulterior motives to rebel; there are also thieves from the rivers and oceans, gather in mountains and forests or hide in large rivers, lakes and islands, kill people and plunder for profit, and Hugang Humen; those who traffic in stinging salt, illegally trafficking in humans, and force good men to become prostitutes; the most common are merchant guilds, who often form gangs, and for the sake of market profit and transportation safety, often form gangs and take care of each other on boats and horses.Because the government cannot effectively control refugees, some legitimate sects and merchants are protected by the government. They have their own set of rules that can make up for the shortcomings of the law.

The world is bustling for profit.Zhang Ning sighed slightly, the heroes of the martial arts world are no exception, and they are mostly for profit.

Wang Qinian smiled and said: Right, the real people who make peace in the world are still the court and the country, and most of the knights are local tyrants.

Zhang Ning thought to himself: Come on, I'm so white... I look pretty white and a little fat.

Wang Qinian was happy to speak, pondered for a moment and then whispered: In fact, there are people who call friends to form "gang members", those book clubs and academies, that is, people in the scholarly forests.Be cautious when dealing with them. Maybe some disciples and officials are in the court. If they offend and get punished, they don’t know who did it.

Thank you Lord Wang for your advice.Zhang Ning bowed.

After coming out of Wang Qinian's study, Zhang Ning thought to himself that the hero's status here is not very good in the eyes of the people here. Since ancient times to the present, only Tai Shigong has written his works for them.

When the appointment document of the Ministry of Personnel came, Zhang Ning suddenly felt the hasty journey and was urged by the orders between the lines.

It turns out that the Beijing officials must set off immediately after being delegated, and they are not allowed to return after leaving the capital...

It's like being swept out.

The reason for this explicit provision is nonsense: some officials in the capital have been poor for a long time. When they hear that they want to be deported, they want to make money, and then they can lend money to buy things or even marry a concubine to go on the road. As a result, they will think of embezzling and repaying debts as soon as they arrive. In order to make officials a little more honest, there is such a rule that treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Well, I don’t have much luggage anyway, so I paid the rent in the yard I rented in Zhutao Hutong for half a year and didn’t have time to find someone to refund it, so let it be put there.

No one came to see him off, Hu Ying and Wang Qinian ignored him, maybe it was just to keep their identity confidential; Wang Zhen also went to seek a future after a while.

Just as I felt that the itinerary was a bit desolate, someone suddenly knocked on the door. When I opened the door, I found that Huang Shiren was coming with a group of clerks.

Oh, Ping An didn't even go to the Department of Service to greet his brothers even though he was promoted!Are you trying to save us?

Huang Shiren handed a red envelope straight to the point, and we don’t need to save on this kind of etiquette!

How can I be embarrassed about this?Zhang Ning wanted to refuse, but Lao Huang put it in his arms without saying a word.Then the clerks of the Department of Service also handed over a few words of worship.

Everyone was really straightforward, and they didn’t even buy two fruits and gave them decisively.

Come in and sit in quickly, have a cup of thin tea, and go to the Juke Restaurant to discuss it later.Zhang Ning said reluctantly, it is difficult to part when we meet, and I don’t know when I will gather with you again.

He was not familiar with the major restaurants in the capital, so he knew that he was a Juke restaurant. Last time Luo Moniang invited him there, the environment and dishes were OK.

Just as I thought of Luo Mo Niang, she saw her figure appearing in the alley, just getting off the carriage.

She saw a group of people bowing at the door, and was stunned to meet Zhang Ning's gaze and said: Oh, Zhang Sifu has been an official for less than two months and has made so many friends.I thought there wasn't even a person to give it to you.

The officials looked back at the beautiful lady, wondering, and heard someone whispering: Zuo Yude Yang's daughter.Everyone suddenly realized.

Unfortunately, I'll go back first.Luo Moniang frowned and put the gift she had taken back into her sleeve.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning said: I took it out, so I have to keep the things.

Luo Moniang said angrily: Our family is not rich, you have so many friends, are you still short of money?Forgot!

The officials present were very uncomfortable with this kind of politeness and looked at each other in shock.

At this time, Huang Shiren said: I see that we will spare this meal. I am so sad that I drink farewell wine. When the day I return to Fengchi, my brothers will definitely hold a banquet to welcome you!

Siwu Huang’s words are reasonable and he is more happy to receive people than to give them away.Everyone agreed tactfully.

Zhang Ning believes that, of course, there is one situation. If he comes back in a prison car, he will be afraid that he will not be able to eat everyone's welcome banquet. I guess he can't see anyone.
