Chapter 40
The chief minister Zhang Jiangling has been in poor health recently, mainly because he is suffering from hidden diseases and has difficulty walking. Therefore, he did not go out easily except to go to the palace to meet the emperor. The ministers and ministers of the various yamen who have important matters will go to Zhang's house to pay homage to him and ask him for instructions.
A mere classic history, in front of Zhang Jiangling, who is powerful in the court, was like an ant walking at the feet of an elephant. No matter how he jumped or shouted, he could not let the elephant see his small figure and hear his faint voice, but now he was accidentally noticed by Zhang Jiangling.
Zhang Shoufu's mansion is in the Xuanwu Gate area. In the study room, there is a guest sitting in the guest seat, slowly savoring the fragrant tea. Zhang Shoufu reviewed a batch of official documents just sent after the case. The study room was quiet, with only the sound of searching out the paper when the official documents were occasionally flipped.
This guest is Cui Xiangsheng, the great scholar who once went to Guiyang to give lectures. Zhang Jiangling has always been a habit. Even if a close friend visits, if he still has official duties, he must complete the official duties first. Unless he needs to think and communicate, he cannot be stopped on the same day, he will never be in the backlog. Even if he is seriously ill, he will still deal with the official duties.
Cui Xiangsheng knew that this was Zhang Jiangling's habit, and he was like this to anyone, not intentionally neglecting him. It was a great courtesy to be invited into the study room, so he was not annoyed at all, just waiting patiently.
Speaking of the friendship between Cui Xiangsheng and Zhang Jiangling, it means not getting to know each other without fighting. When the emperor heard about Cui Xiangsheng's reputation, he wanted him to become an official in the court, but Zhang Jiangling rejected it with a word, thinking that this person was a corrupt scholar and not a material for becoming an official, which thus ended Cui Xiangsheng's career.
Cui Xiangsheng was originally a very utilitarian person. Zhang Jiangling cut off his future. How could he not hate him? He really hated Zhang Jiangling to the core. However, this prime minister of the dynasty was powerful all over the world, and even the emperor was trembling in front of him and respected him as his father. How could Cui Xiangsheng do anything to him?
Therefore, Cui Xiangsheng was not upset about Zhang Jiangling's almost humiliating evaluation, but admitted it calmly, saying to others: "Cui has always been unintentional to be an official because Cui is self-aware. Although what he learned is extensive, he is not good at using it in the world. He should only be able to spend his time and study knowledge."
Cui Xiangsheng was very good at making a fool of himself, and suddenly turned passive into activeness. Zhang Jiangling's evaluation not only did not become a stain on him, but instead demonstrated his broad mind and demeanor, positioning him as a well-educated scholar, further improving his prestige in Shilin.
After hearing about this, Zhang Jiangling greatly appreciated his mind and spirit. Zhang Jiangling did not have any personal prejudice in his evaluation of him that day, but he felt that although he was famous and knowledgeable, he was not very useful in the use of the world's scriptures. He was only suitable for lying on old papers, studying scriptures, and researching knowledge. Now he has a good impression of him. With his intentional approach, it is inevitable to become friends.
Zhang Jiangling did not expect that this great scholar had hated him to the core because of his comments. In fact, there were countless people like Cui Xiangsheng in the court and the country. However, no matter how much they hated him in their hearts, they could only show their great respect and respect for Zhang Jiangling. Unless this giant fell down, they would never dare to expose a trace of hatred they had endured for a long time.
"Absurd! A little classic history has forgotten its true meaning and is arguing against the truth. It uses all kinds of things that go beyond the rules!"
When Zhang Jiangling saw the official document about Ye Xiaotian, he couldn't help but frown. Cui Xiangsheng had received a reminder in advance and deliberately came for Ye Xiaotian to avenge his aroused a revenge at the Qiyun Banquet in Guiyang that day. When he heard this, he immediately put down his teacup and asked with a smile: "Mr. Taiyue is in charge of the center, and he has to deal with all kinds of things every day. Do you even have to ask about the matter of a Shishi official?"
Zhang Jiangling said: "This person's affairs are a bit special, so he was sent to Zhang's case."
Zhang Jiangling said a few words to Ye, then lowered his head to read the official document, picked up his pen and thought about his opinions on the disposal. Cui Xiangsheng suddenly realized and said softly, "Ye Xiaotian, it turns out it's him, that's no wonder."
When Zhang Jiangling heard this, he looked up in surprise and said, "Why, Xiangsheng actually knows this person?"
Cui Xiangsheng said calmly: "Yes, when Cui traveled to Guiyang, he had seen this person. This person was ignorant and was a gangster. He just flattered him and flattered him. He was promoted by him and was called a scholar. He transformed himself into a scholar. He became a scholar. It was really a shame to the scholar! Later..."
Cui Xiang first colluded with what he saw and heard and what he heard and what he was interested in this time, and excluded Shangguan, built a mansion, and added fuel to the fire. Zhang Jiangling was furious and said, "There is such a thing, such a person, who is so arrogant, and treats the government as a juggling hall!"
Cui Xiangsheng said in a helpless tone: "Mr. Taiyue worked hard and was in charge for many years. Under the painstaking management of Mr. Taiyue, my Ming Dynasty was already clear and clear. It was clear and bright. It was just that there was still some remote place, the road was difficult to move, and the news was blocked. In the eyes of the native people, they only knew the chieftains but did not know the court, so that the monsters like Ye Xiaotian were born."
Zhang Jiangling said calmly: "Even if thousands of mountains are separated by thousands of mountains, it is not only the land of the Ming Dynasty, but also the Taoist education of the Ming Dynasty!"
He thought about it and then picked up his pen to write a note. After Cui Xiangsheng gave Ye Xiaotian his eyes, he picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened and pretended to drink tea. He glanced at the corners of his eyes. Seeing Zhang Jiangling giving a note with a calm expression, a hint of pride could not help but look slightly in his eyes.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
God sneezes, and it's a heavy rain on earth.
Zhang Jiangling, who is more like the emperor than the emperor, will write a manual instruction. How should local officials react?
As soon as he rode a fast horse, he ran into Huxian Post Station. As soon as he rushed into the post station, the horse fell to the ground with a loud bang. The person on the horse had a big "Online" embroidered on his chest, and there was a three-sided small red flag on his back. This was an eight hundred-mile fast horse. No one must stop him for any reason along the way, even if the horse kicked someone to death in the street, he would not have to be sentenced.
The war horse fell down with a bang, and the postman rolled on the spot, agilely avoiding the side pressure of the war horse. However, after struggling for a few times, he was unable to stand up because his legs were numb and weak.
The postmen in the post station were shocked when they saw him rushing in on a fast horse. Of course, they recognized that this was the eight hundred-mile military post. This post station had never seen such the most urgent military post news, so they immediately snatched a few people to help the postmen up.
The postman shouted in a hoarse voice: "S..change horse..."
The Huxian postman who was holding him said sympathetically: "Brother, the horse can be replaced, but you can't stand it like this. Then do you go south or west? I'm afraid that if you hold on, the horse will be exhausted before it can be exhausted."
Generally speaking, the military post can also change people by changing horses, and send messages to the next station like relay. However, to such a 100,000-year-old military post, it is impossible to hand over the people to the postmen at the local post station at will.
The man made a harsh swallowing action, but his lips were dry and cracked. There was no saliva to swallow. There was a postman next to him who handed the water bag. He didn't answer it, but said with difficulty: "Here... I'll change the horse, I... want to go to the county government..."
In Huxian County Government, Hua Magistrate was hearing a civil case. Suddenly, a "reporter" came out from behind the screen and whispered to him. Hua Magistrate was shocked and immediately announced the postponement and retrial. After saying that, he hurriedly withdrew before everyone left.
In the second hall, the postman was lying crookedly on the chair. He was drinking a pot of herbal tea when Hua Qingfeng hurried in. When the postman saw his official robe with a seventh-grade official seal, he immediately struggled to stand up. He took off the bag that had never left his body, took out a water-painted sealed letter tube from it, and presented it to Hua Qingfeng with both hands.
Hua Qingfeng hurriedly took the letter tube and said, "No need to be polite, sit down!" After hurriedly approaching the case, he checked the seal of the seal without error, and then used a paper cutter to cut the seal and took out a official letter from it. Hua Qingfeng opened the official letter and looked at it urgently, and his face changed a few times.
Before opening this official letter, Hua Qingfeng was really frightened. He was so anxious that he could only have riots and rebellion in nearby prefectures and counties. The court was going to send a large army to suppress it. I didn’t know if it would affect the county for a while, and I didn’t know what the court had paid him. When I opened the official letter, I realized that it was Ye Xiaotian who committed the case.
No matter what case Ye Xiaotian committed, he was just a poor official. He wanted to use the 800-mile military post to pass the news, which was too much of a big deal. So when he saw this, Hua Qingfeng was quite dissatisfied. But when he looked at it, it was actually a severe punishment instruction written by Zhang Jiangling, the chief assistant of the dynasty, and he was shocked.
This official letter was not a post newspaper from the court. The Prime Minister's handwritten instructions were still on the way. This was a manifestation of the officials at all levels below who were able to alarm the Prime Minister. In their opinion, either this person was extremely guilty and went straight to the Heavenly Listening, or offended the Prime Minister's relatives and friends, which made the Prime Minister furious. Then... this unlucky insect will undoubtedly die.
If he had something unexpected at this time, or even fled for fear of guilt, who would bear the thunderous anger of the Prime Minister? Therefore, the messenger sent by the court, Ye Xiaotian, had not arrived yet, and the local officials first figured out the intentions and dealt with them resolutely.
The postman was sent by the Nanzhili Presidency Department. The official letter described the situation they learned more and more, instructing Hua Qingfeng to immediately control Ye Xiaotian when he saw this official letter.
Originally, officials committed crimes and were waiting for the impeachment office to be concluded. Before there was no result, they could not be arrested. They could only be ordered to wait for participation at home. The salary during this period was also constant. However, the instructions of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice were: immediately put Ye Xiaotian in prison and take close care of him. If he escaped, Huxian would ask questions.
Hua Qingfeng was so scared that his heart trembled. After thinking about it, he really didn't know what Ye Xiaotian had committed. The chief minister of the dynasty personally asked him about it. The official letter of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice was vague about it, and there was no way to guess it.
Although he had secretly formed an alliance with Ye Xiaotian after the last banquet to fight against the aggressiveness of County Chief Xu and Wang Zhuan, this kind of thing was not something he could bear.
Hua Qingfeng held the letter in his hand and was secretly upset: "It's hateful, once this person leaves, I can't hear the sound of my hand alone. At that time, I'm afraid that the story of Meng Qingwei and Wang Ning's defeat of me will be repeated!"
Hua Qingfeng was secretly upset, and after all, he was unwilling to take people to arrest Yeben County. There were 100,000 urgent matters to him!"
After a moment, Xu Boyi came to the second hall. He first glanced at the half-slimmed on the chair, as if half-dead were looking at the postman, and then bowed to Hua Qingfeng, "Why are you summoning me if you don't know about the county master?"
Hua Qingfeng handed the official letter to him and said, "Come on!"
Xu Boyi took the letter in his hand, looked at Sanxing and was overjoyed: "The big thing is harmonious! This time, Ye Xiaotian is dead and alive!"
