Chapter 349 Arrangements in Beijing
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more serious as the emperor's gloomy face. No one said anything. According to the emperor's temperament, a storm was coming.
Kong Sheng knew the emperor's thoughts and said, "Long live, the thief is rampant, which is really hateful, but on the other hand, it may not be a good thing. It means that the thief is desperate and has to jump over the wall, not far from being destroyed. As for those masters, you can send more experts from the Dragon Guard to Huazhou to fight against teeth and snipe these fierce fangs. In addition, draw pictures at the levels and investigate them in a step. Long live, you might as well give a reward for the sects in the world and let them help. In this way, this group of thieves will definitely not have to escape and die not far away."
"Kong Qing's words are reasonable." Shi Fangzhen's expression eased a lot, and he said to King Ning: "The matter will be under the responsibility of King Ning, and I will report the progress at any time."
King Ning respectfully replied.
Chen Chengji said: "Long live, Huazhou is about to be recovered, and Governor Lu lost the hands of the thief. The most urgent task is to send capable people to comfort the people and safeguard the country. Otherwise, the people's hearts will be unstable after the chaos and are afraid that something will happen again."
Shi Fangzhen had calmed down at this moment, knowing that even if the thief was capable, he would not be able to sneak into the palace to assassinate him. Since the First Emperor, he had never heard of any emperor being killed by a master in the martial arts world. The most important thing at the moment when Chen Chengji asked to send the governor to Anmin.
I arranged the available people in my heart, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while. Now Huazhou is in crisis, and even my ex is killed by a thief. At this time, I have to go to Huazhou to take up my post. I really have to be brave enough to achieve it. Moreover, after this chaos, the people of Huazhou have withered and it is difficult to recover their vitality without more than ten years. To work in Huazhou means that I will not be promoted in about ten years. These ministers in the court are all more slippery than loaches. Who would be willing to do a chore that is both risky and unrewarded?
"Shangshu Pan, do you have a suitable official recommendation?" Shi Fangzhen turned the problem to the Minister of Personnel Pan Linfeng.
Of course, Pan Linfeng knew that being the governor of Huazhou at this time was not as good as being exiled to Qianzhou, but the emperor dared not say anything. He searched several officials who had ordinary relationships and reported it. Shi Fangzhen shook his head repeatedly and said, "These people are all Taiping officials, and they have nothing to do. Now in Huazhou, how can these people be competent."
Taiwei Zhu, who closed his eyes and rested, opened his eyes and said, "Long live, the old minister has a choice. Jiang Anyi, don't know what he thinks?"
Shi Fangzhen's eyes lit up. It would be appropriate to send Jiang Anyi to Huazhou. Jiang Anyi was both literary and military, and had strong ability to govern the local area. The only thing that was inappropriate was that Jiang Anyi was only a seventh-rank official now. Even if he returned to the capital and was only a sixth-rank official. After he was promoted, he could only serve as a fifth-rank official like Wei Youcheng. Although Huazhou was Xiazhou, the governor was also a high-rank official under the fourth-rank official. This time he was promoted too quickly, for fear that all the ministers would complain. Moreover, Jiang Anyi was only twenty-four years old. Based on this qualification, if he was counted in another twenty years, wouldn't he be able to be granted no title?
Chen Chengji immediately stood up and opposed: "Long live, although Jiang Anyi is capable, his official position is too low. Suddenly, he is promoted to the governor, and it is not conducive to Jiang Anyi himself."
"I'm going to discuss it," Yu Zhijie, the Minister of Revenue, first came forward to express his opinion. It's not that he doesn't want his disciples to be promoted, but this official promotion is too dangerous, so it's better not to make any mistakes.
Most people in the hall expressed their opposition, but Kong Sheng did not speak out. He also arranged the ministers in the court in his heart. Those who had enough qualifications would rather delay for a few years than go to Huazhou. The emperor was quite moved when Grandmaster Zhu mentioned Jiang Anyi. It seemed that the official rank was just a big problem.
Kong Sheng was born into a scholarly family and descended from the Master. The Kong family was a unique family, and was ranked alongside the three masters of Shilin. Kong Sheng had no relationship with Jiang Anyi. As a predecessor, he liked Jiang Anyi's poems and essays very much. He once said that Jiang Anyi's poems had fairy spirit, elegance in the poems, and righteousness in the poems, and greatly appreciated him.
Kong Sheng was already in the position of prime minister, with only Chen Chengji in front of him. Chen Chengji was six years older than him. He would most likely go further in the future and become the left prime minister. Jiang Anyi was just a young man. Even if he had the ability, he would not be able to move towards prime minister before he was forty. In history, except for the troubled times of the Warring States Period, ministers who could enter the cabinet to visit prime minister were at least 10 years old. This should be the case. Even if he first entered the officialdom at the age of 20, it would be impossible for him to be from an official under the sixth rank to a third rank without twenty or thirty years.
However, Kong Sheng decided to help Jiang Anyi, who made him like his poems and essays? Kong Sheng smiled and said, "Jiang Anyi's rank is not a problem. The key is whether he can do this job well. If Jiang Anyi is capable of both ability and competent, he can first serve as the governor of Li and Huazhou. It will not be too late to transfer the position of transfer to the post after he makes political achievements."
Zhu Xupu helped him and said, "I have had contact with Lord Jiang. Although Lord Jiang is not old, he is both literary and martial, and he is brave, resourceful and courageous. He is truly a rare talent. I am willing to recommend Jiang Anyi as the governor of Huazhou."
Originally, when Jiang Anyi was summoned to Beijing, Shi Fangzhen intended to promote Jiang Anyi to the court. Because Wei Yishen retired, he was given the position to Wei Youcheng. Then Shi Fangzhen planned to serve Jiang Anyi in the Imperial College or the Nine Ministers of the Six Ministry and Nine Ministers, so that he could live for a few years, play the role of a direct scholar in Chongwenguan, and teach the prince carefully. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the matter of Huazhou suddenly occurred. Now it seems that Jiang Anyi is the best candidate for the governor. As Kong Sheng said, the official rank is not a problem, the key is to see whether he can do his job well. Shi Fangzhen has made up his mind to let Jiang Anyi use his official position under the fifth rank to be a governor.
Jiang Anyi had just passed Pingzhou and entered Fuzhou, and was only 300 miles away from the Yongchang imperial capital. He didn't know that he was still on the journey, so he was arranged by the emperor to Huazhou in the northwest by the emperor.
Along the way, Jiang Anyong was very excited. His brother had already told him that he would propose marriage to Siyu for him after returning to Beijing. His dream was about to come true, and Jiang Anyong wanted to sing a song to bring Beijing into the city.
After entering the city from Qixia Gate, Jiang Anyi asked his younger brother to take Shi Tou and others home first. He was an official. This time he returned to Beijing under the imperial edict, and he had to report to Guanglu Temple first, and then move into the inn, and wait until the emperor summoned him before returning home.
Song Sili, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, Jiang Anyi, is not familiar with both Shaoqing, both Shaoqing, Chen Yinguang, are thin in shape, and Jia Nan, the Right Shaoqing, is a big fat man. The two are called the "two fat and thin generals" of Guanglu Temple. Not to mention that Chen Yinguang has been on missions to Beimo together and spent a while together day and night, even the Right Shaoqing, Jia Nan, has drank wine several times after meeting him. This fat man is an interesting person, comparable to Guo Huaili, and is more elegant than Guo Huaili. Jiang Anyi couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.
When he arrived at the gate of Guanglu Temple, he looked up at the sky. The sun was hanging high. It had not passed yet. At this time, Song Sili was probably still discussing affairs in Zichen Hall. When he was hesitating to find who to look for, Jia Nan walked out of the gate with a fat body, and several people were following him, talking and laughing, and it seemed that he was going to go out for tea.
"Mr. Jia has always been nice, Jiang is polite." Jiang Anyi stepped forward and bowed and said.
Jia Nan didn't notice Jiang Anyi. When Jiang Anyi stood up, he recognized the person. He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Anyi's wrist and laughed: "Brother, you are back. I have told you that you should not be polite with your brother. Why do you still have so many politeness? You won't treat your brother as a relative."
Holding Jiang Anyi's hand, Jia Nan said to the people waiting around him: "Brothers, I have no time today. I'm sorry."
Jiang Anyi recognized two, one of them was from Taipu Temple, and the one next to him was from the Sinong Temple, and he couldn't name it. It was estimated that the other people were all figures among the six ministries and nine ministers. Everyone said a few words to Jiang Anyi and said goodbye. Following Jia Nan into Guanglu Temple, Jiang Anyi looked at the harmless smile of humans and beasts, and thought to himself that Jia Shaoqing had a wide communication and had many people he knew. From the fourth-rank Shaoqing, he was not too young in the court. Jia Nan was only forty years old, so it was difficult to be able to be a Shaoqing. He could be the governor when he was released from outside. I don't know what he was.
The Guanglu Temple Yamen is a three-entry courtyard. In the middle is the official party of the temple minister Song Sili, and Jia Nan is the first one on the right side of the right Shaoqing official party. Jiang Anyi unconsciously glanced at the left side. There was the official party of the left Shaoqing Chen Yinguang. He didn't know if he was there, so he would go in and say hello.
"Mr. Chen is not here today," Jia Nan said with a smile: "Don't worry about sitting here with me, no one will disturb me. Come on, make me the newly arrived Qingwu tea this year. Oh my, look at my pig brain. Qingwu tea is produced in Fuluo County. You have tasted a lot of famous teas you made in Anyi. My brother is showing off. Let's change to Anshan Silver Needle."
After a few words, Jiang Anyi felt very comfortable and smiled: "It seems that there are people in Beijing who are drinking Qingwu Tea."
"I forgot to say something under the bamboo to the green mist, and it is better than the feathered guest drunken clouds. The dusty heart is washed away and the fun is hard to be completed. The sound of a cicada tree is slanted." Jia Nan recited in a loud voice and sighed: "Tea is famous for its poetry. The blessings and beauty left by An Yi for the rich people are enough to be famous for future generations."
Jia Nan curled his smile, and the fat face appeared silent, as if it was touching his heart. Jiang Anyi was surprised, Jiao Qianyanshen asked many questions, and asked casually: "This time he went to Beijing with the imperial edict, did Brother Jia hear the news, how to arrange for me? Could it be that he would return to the Ministry of Rites to be my Minister of Wai Lang?"
"Drinking tea, this Anshan silver needle has been a famous tea since ancient times. The soup is yellow and the buds are strong. An Yi, look at the white hair like feathers, the trees are like flags, floating and rising and falling, and become interesting. It is a bit more elegant than the green mist tea." Jia Nan changed the topic and pointed to the tea ceremony he sent.
It seems that Jia Nan knew some news, but it was not convenient to tell him clearly. Jiang Anyi naturally would not force him, and he planned to take the time to find Tian Shoulou later. He was well-informed and should know the news.
"The tea tastes sweet and sweet, and Qingwu Tea is indeed inferior to that of a thousand-year-old famous tea." Jiang Anyi smiled and said, while talking nonsense with Jia Nan, he asked about Guanglu Temple's arrangements for him and what should he pay attention to.
