Chapter 67 Who is coming?
"Master Xiao is extremely talented. My brother has heard his name for a long time. I have been thinking about when I can see his face with my own eyes. Then I will die without regret! Just now when I came in, I saw the lord's spirit was glowing, and I felt like a god. The feeling of admiration cannot be suppressed, so that I lost my temper and made my brother laugh!"
This flattery was quite in place, Xiao Chen directly gave him seven points, and the remaining three points depended on his actual performance.
Immediately hugging each other and helping each other up, they were polite for a long time, and finally smiled at each other, very satisfied with each other's performance.
Lin Dongyang coughed, took out a piece of yellow paper from his bosom, opened it, and said loudly: "The eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies, Bingbi, the director of Xigong Jishichang, and the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, Xiao Chen, will receive the order!"
"Slave Xiao Chen, accept the order!" Xiao Chen quickly knelt down.
This is the secret decree from Li Wanjiang to Xiao Chen, so Lin Dongyang didn't read it out in public just now.
The so-called secret decree is not a secret. In fact, it is nothing more than praising Xiao Chen and others for repelling the assassins and protecting the noble concubine. I am very relieved and rewarded...
After Lin Dongyang read the imperial decree and handed it to Xiao Chen, it was a compliment, so there is no need to elaborate.
"Master Xiao, brother has a merciless request, sir, you must agree to it." Lin Dongyang restrained his smile and looked serious.
"But I have an order, and I will obey it!" Xiao Chen's promise was really neat.
Because I know that his so-called unfeeling love must be the kind that I like...
"Haha, I knew Lord Xiao that you are a cheerful person!" Lin Dongyang was overjoyed, "Please give me a pair of calligraphy."
"Oh? This, this..." Xiao Chen was scratched on an itchy spot, happy in his heart, but embarrassed on his face.
"If my lord doesn't agree, I won't leave!" Lin Dongyang spread out the four treasures of the study on the table, and personally rubbed ink for Xiao Chen.
"I can't beat you, Mr. Lin!" Xiao Chen reluctantly picked up the pen, thought for a while, and wrote four large characters: Dangerous behavior and dangerous words.
If the state has no way, it will act dangerously; if the state has the way, it will act dangerously.
It means that if the king is tyrannical and immoral, the courtiers must behave righteously, but they must not talk nonsense.
If the king is virtuous and wise, then the courtiers should not only behave righteously, but also speak out.
"The writing is good, the words are good, and the words are good." Lin Dongyang's praise came from the heart.
It is really suitable to hang in your own study.
"This is the embellishment pen that my brother gave to my lord, and my lord must accept it, otherwise this word brother will not be taken for nothing." Lin Dongyang took out a silver ticket from his arms, and gently placed it on the table .
"Is this embarrassing?" Xiao Chen glanced out of the corner of his eye, seeing that it turned out to be a silver note of two hundred thousand taels, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted.
"Lord Xiao, please don't be polite. My brother and my niece are in the palace, and I have to ask you to take care of me in the future." Lin Dongyang began to mention people.
"Oh? But I don't know what your nephew is..." Xiao Chen really didn't know. After all, there are hundreds of concubines and nobles in the palace. He has been in the palace for so long, and many of them can't remember their names. , let alone others.
"My niece's name is Yang Feng'er. She has been a widow at home because of her husband's death. Last year, the emperor visited here in the south. She had the honor to serve her for one night. The emperor liked her very much and made her a nobleman." Lin Dongyang said hastily.
"Oh, so it's Yang Guiren." Xiao Chen searched in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't match the number.
By the way, Li Wanjiang is really not picky, you even want a widow?
"Feng'er also admires the adults very much, but the adults are always busy with work, but they dare not disturb each other easily." Lin Dongyang laughed.
"While I have the pen and ink, brother, I'll write a note to thank you, can I trouble you to pass it up?" Xiao Chen understood, so he didn't mention this matter, and changed the subject.
"Brother grind ink for the adults!" Lin Dongyang was overjoyed, and said in his heart that this Xiao Chen is so young, but he is really sensible!
If I still have something to say, it's hard to say, so people will take the initiative to hand it over!
Because it was the imperial decree handed down by Lin Dongyang, so Xiao Chen must mention Jiangdong County and himself in Xie En's notebook.
Then how Xiao Chen worded is very important.
"Your Excellency has a good governance in Jiangdong County and has achieved outstanding achievements. This brother is in his eyes. He must report the truth to the emperor. I think the emperor will be very happy." Xiao Chen has already thought about the words.
Lin Dongyang seemed a little hesitant, and whispered: "Uh...Master Xiao, in fact, our Jiangdong County looks prosperous on the surface, but there are also many hidden dangers and disadvantages..."
"Ah?" Xiao Chen was surprised to hear this, but it was also greatly unexpected, holding a wolf hair in his hand, and was stunned on the spot.
For a moment, I didn't understand what Lin Dongyang meant by this?
Lin Dongyang, please sit down first, Brother Rong will have a heart-to-heart chat with you...
But it turns out that the governor of Jiangdong County is a great job, and the annual income of various kinds of silver is at least a million taels. This makes many people in the court jealous and want to replace him.
Lin Dongyang just got the news that the higher-ups were interested in transferring him to the capital to be the censor of Zuodu, that is, to make up for Chen Jisheng's vacancy.
Zuodu Yushi is one of the Nine Ministers, with a high position and authority, so he must be considered a promotion.
But he didn't want to go at all.
Once in Beijing, there are many dignitaries, many parties, and the situation is complicated, but it is extremely difficult to mix, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of irreparable doom.
The predecessor Chen Jisheng is a precedent!
Second, since Li Wanjiang ascended the throne, his temperament has changed greatly, he has become suspicious, sentimental, and moody. As the saying goes, being with a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you stay by a tiger all day long, you will be trembling like walking on thin ice.
The third reason is naturally because Zuodu Yushi is an errand that offends others!
The kind of full-time complaint picker.
If you don't participate in others, you can't do it. People say that you are slippery, neglect your duties and pervert the law.
You can't join people. Speaking of the emperor's feet, civil and military officials, which one has no background?
Offending anyone can make you feel bad!
To sum up, it’s better to be the governor in Jiangdong County, where you can make a fortune and make friends, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control you...
Oh...it turned out to be Jiang Zi, Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
Jiangdong County is located in the southeast, with extremely developed land and sea transportation. It is also one of the four major granaries in the world.
Mr. Lin has worked hard and painstakingly over the years, and Jiangdong has been able to stabilize, prosper and develop continuously.
If you replace your lord with a mediocre person who doesn't understand the local conditions, I'm afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted...
Lin Dongyang scratched his head happily, what a Mr. Xiao!
Just know what I mean bro!
Now that the words have been spoken, Xiao Chen also knows how to write this excerpt.
After Lin Dongyang finished talking about the business, he chatted for a few more words, and then left.
When he got up to hold hands, Xiao Chen asked very caringly: "Sir, do you want to greet the imperial concubine?"
"Hey, to be honest, my lord, I have ordered my family members to go in and serve..." Lin Dongyang smiled.
"Oh? Haha, that's good, that's good!" In fact, Xiao Chen already knew it, and he just said it deliberately to ask for favors...
After sending Lin Dongyang back, he heard someone outside the courtyard yelling loudly: "Is Xiao Xiao there?"
yeah?
Who is coming? Such a big breath!
