Chapter 121
The Tongzhi of Guangyang Mansion is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He has a broad face, good features, and a two-faced moustache on his mouth. It is the good face of a deputy official.
This person led a group of officials from Guangyang Mansion to Zhou Chen's body. He immediately bowed his hands and said: "Xie Ming, the official Guangyang Mansion, welcome Mister Magistrate!"
With the leadership of this Xie Tongzhi, all the officials behind him hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "The lower officials wait for Mister Magistrate to welcome Mister Magistrate."
The rateless jailer of the Yangfu government, up to the fifth grade 6 cognizance and communication, almost all the officials and officials in Guangyang government have come to welcome Zhou Chen.
After all, it was their immediate boss who came to take up the post. How dare they, who are the subordinates, have the slightest negligence towards Zhou Chen.
"You don't have to be polite, just get up!"
Looking at the Yiying Guangyang government official in front of him, Zhou Chen sat on the horseback and raised his hand vainly, his voice indifferent He said: "It's not a place to talk right now, so I'll go to the government office first.
At that time, I will meet you one after another."
" Yes, my lord!"
Under the leadership of Tongzhi Xie Ming, a group of Guangyang government officials responded in unison, and then they got up and dodged to both sides of the street, prepared by Zhou Chen and the others. Pass on horseback.
It's just that Zhou Chen didn't ride the horse directly to Guangyang Mansion. Instead, he turned over directly from the horse.
These Guangyang government officials are here to greet Zhou Chen. They also include Grade 5 officials and Grade 6 judges of high grades. How could Zhou Chen ignore them? How about riding a horse on your own?
So Zhou Chen chose to turn over on horseback, preparing to walk to the palace with these Guangyang government officials.
After realizing that Zhou Chen, the new Mister Magistrate, did not abandon himself and the others on horseback, these Guangyang government officials also deeply felt the attention, and their faces were already very serious. The enthusiastic smile makes the moment more brilliant and overflowing.
For the officials of Guangyang Prefecture in the field, the influence of Zhou Chen's arrival on them is actually not that much.
After all, Xie Ming, the highest-ranking colleague among them, is just Grade 5, and it's one grade from Grade 4 to the position of the prefect of Guangyang Prefecture.
So Zhou Chen took office as the prefect of Guangyang Prefecture. Actually, there is no direct conflict of interest for the original officials of Guangyang Prefecture. Say.
What the officials of Guangyang Prefecture worry about today is nothing more than the temperament of Zhou Chen, the new Mister Magistrate, and whether he can get along well with each other.
Leave aside the temperament, but the ability to dismount and walk through Zhou Chen.
This is to the satisfaction of the officials of Guangyang Prefecture in the field. At least they know that Zhou Chen, the new Mister Magistrate, did not despise them.
Immediately, I saw Tongzhi Xie Ming walking up quickly, leading the way for Zhou Chen and saying: "My lord, please come with you."
While speaking, Xie Ming also extended the hand to prepare the result. The rein in Zhou Chen's hand planned to help Zhou Chen to lead the horse.
However, this Xie Ming is a dignified grade 5 official of the Ming Dynasty after all. How could Zhou Chen let him do this kind of horsemanship?
Don’t look at Zhou Chen as a Grade 4 official. Compared to Xie Ming, it’s two grades higher. But if Xie Ming gave him a horse to spread out, the officials above the court He must be involved in a crime of presumptuousness.
Because of the suppression of the patriarch lineage of the two Shanxi merchants and Fantian a few years ago, Zhou Chen offended many officials behind the Shanxi merchants at the Imperial court.
Even though this matter has been suppressed by Emperor Hongzhi for several years, these officials are still behind the scenes and are still preparing to catch Zhou Chen's handle. How could Zhou Chen make them get what they want? ?
So when Zhou Chen saw Xie Ming's actions, he directly shook his head to stop him: "Xie Tongzhi only needs to lead the way, and let other people do things like lead horses!"
While talking in his mouth, Zhou Chen handed the rein in his hand to a Bright Gown Guard who came up behind him and asked him to lead the horse behind him.
And Zhou Chen himself walked towards Bright Gown Guard officials such as Chen Yun and Xu Yan who had also been turned over from horseback, together with Xie Ming and other Guangyang government officials, and walked towards the government office. .
This place is not far away from the Guangyang government office. Even on foot, Zhou Chen and the others quickly rushed to the gate of Guangyang government office.
While leading Zhou Chen to the back house of the government office, Xie Ming smiled and said to Zhou Chen: "My lord, you are here today, and the others. A table of banquets prepared for you inside the ya.
My lord, you are a fatigue on this road, and it happens to be picking up the dust for you."
For this, Zhou Chen has nothing else. Doubt, after all, if you want to be in this officialdom, the entertainment that you should have is always indispensable.
If Zhou Chen refuses this reception banquet, Xie Ming's heart will most likely give birth to a lot of grudges.
Is this new Mister Magistrate hard to get along with? ! Are you planning to alienate us, the original officials of Guangyang Prefecture? !
Even if it is for the peace of mind of the officials of Guangyang Prefecture, Zhou Chen will definitely attend this banquet.
Slightly nodded, Zhou Chen smiled lightly and said to Xie Ming: "Then the official has to see if these wines and dishes prepared by Xie Tongzhi are not in line with the official's appetite."
Perceiving the kindness expressed by Zhou Chen, the smile on Xie Ming's face became more and more brilliant. He replied with a smile again and again: "The next official heard that you are from Hanzhong, so the next official specially asked the chef to prepare it. A table of Shaanxi cuisine is guaranteed to make you enjoy yourself."
While speaking, Xie Ming walked ahead and led the way, leading Zhou Chen and the others to the living room of the back house of the government office.
Of course, not everyone is eligible to participate in this reception banquet, at least they have to be from Grade 6 or higher.
This is finally customized by Xie Ming after considering Zhou Chen's special situation.
If Zhou Chen is just the new prefect of Guangyang Prefecture, then he will surely ask the officials of the Guangyang Prefecture to help Zhou Chen with the dust, but Zhou Chen’s side It also brings together all the Bright Gown Guards in the Western border of the mountain.
In this way, it is completely unrealistic to let everyone sit at the same table.
So Xie Ming decided to include all the characters from Grade 6 and above in the chief of the living room, and the others were arranged to sit in the ordinary dining room.
Although they are not sitting in the same room, the wine and dishes prepared by Xie Ming are equally rich, and he will definitely not treat the Guangyang government office and Bright Gown Guard large and small officials.
