Chapter 17 The Emperor's Assassination (1)
When Jiang Riguang saw Ma Dezhi, he was thinking deeply and said with a smile: "Master Ma should not think too much. It is best not to think about things you don't understand. Although you have worked in the Anti-corruption Bureau for a lot of days, you don't understand many things. In order to make your work smoother in this printing and bookmarks, I still have to remind you of some things. First, you will do whatever the emperor tells you! You can ask the emperor a question. Whether the emperor answers or not is the emperor's business, but you must do everything in your hands. Second, our printing and bookmarks are the words of the court, and some things offend people more than you in the Anti-corruption Bureau. Therefore, be cautious when doing things! Third, the emperor will take your life at any time, so you still have to be a little enlightened!"
Ma Dezhi can accept the first two points. How few people have offended him in the anti-corruption situation? As for the third point, he disagrees with the emperor. He has met the emperor and is quite friendly. Even since he ascended the throne, he only killed some corrupt officials a few days ago. No other officials were dismissed.
Jiang Riguang smiled, picked up a stack of folds of the folds in his hand, handed them to Ma Dezhi, and said, "Believe it or not, you will have this enlightenment in a few days. This is a fold from Fujian after the great victory in Penghu. You just entered our book printing company and you can't do many things at all. Let's start with writing a press release. Take this and write a short piece of news. As for how to write this news, you can find the previous booklet and read it yourself!"
"Thank you, Jiang Yuan, for your guidance. You should work hard and become familiar with the affairs of the Bookmark Office earlier!" After Ma Dezhi said that, he took the pile of notes, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Jiang Yuanzheng, Jiang Yuanzheng!" Tian Bufei shouted loudly when he entered the printing press.
When Jiang Riguang saw that it was Tian Bufei, his gentle expression suddenly flew there without knowing that he had gone there, and said fiercely: "Didn't I ask you to go to the Capital University? According to the established etiquette, the opening ceremony will begin soon, "If this news interview is missed, your salary this month will be deducted half."
Tian Bufei looked unfair and said anxiously: "Mr. Yuanzheng, I came back for you because of your consideration. Didn't the emperor send an order yesterday to ask you to attend this opening ceremony? Why did you ask me to go but you didn't go..."
Jiang Riguang suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed: "Oh, I haven't been sleeping well these days. I have always forgotten things. I'm probably going to be over this time."
Tian Bufei immediately said with a look of shame: "Sir, what else do you want? Just hurry up and hurry up. Anyway, it's only a few incense sticks, and even if it's delayed, it won't be too long. The emperor will not blame him for the delay soon, but the salary of the officials?"
Jiang Riguang thought for a while and said, "Okay, this time you have made merit, and you will be exempted from the penalty."
Then he said to Ma Dezhi, who had just wanted to go out but stopped, and said, "You can go this time too. By the way, I will take you to see the emperor. The emperor appreciates you, but remember to talk about the situation of the printing office and let the emperor give him some people!"
When Ma Dezhi heard this, he secretly scolded Jiang Riguang for being cunning. Isn’t this explicitly pulling him to the emperor to “request for food”? He thought he was supporting him. It turned out that there was a purpose, but there was no way. He had to bow his head under the roof!
Jiang Riguang took Ma Dezhi and Tian Wufei out of the cabinet, but instead of walking towards the place where the soft sedan chair was parked in front of the cabinet, he turned around and walked towards a bunch of neatly arranged carriages next to the cabinet.
When Ma Dezhi saw the carriage in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder. This carriage was just found a few days ago. After Xia Tianxing, a businessman from the capital, purchased the carriage technology of the research institute and opened a carriage factory, he specially donated the first batch of carriages to the court. It was said that the emperor was in order to facilitate the affairs of the cabinet officials and was also responsible for picking up and dropping off the officials who were responsible for picking up and dropping them into the cabinet to use these carriages as public vehicles. However, there were too many officials in the capital. In order to control the number of people using carriages, it was stipulated that only officials of third-rank and above could use carriages, while other officials required waist signs specially given by the emperor to use them.
When he arrived in front of the carriage, he was stopped by several soldiers in front of the carriage. Jiang Riguang took out a token from his waist and shook it at the soldiers guarding the carriage. The soldiers in front of him immediately knelt down.
Then a man dressed in an officer immediately replied: "Mr. Jiang, we are also doing routine and offended. Are you going there? The official will make arrangements for you immediately!"
Jiang Riguang put away the waist card in his hand and said lightly: "Beijing University, please hurry up, the emperor is waiting for me there, so I have to hurry up!"
The officer quickly ordered his soldiers to drive a carriage. Jiang Riguang took the two of them into the carriage, but heard several soldiers outside the carriage muttering quietly there.
"Who is this? Why do you dare to sit in a special cabinet carriage that can only be seated in a third or above in a sixth rank?"
"Speak quietly, don't be too stupid. He is a celebrity in front of the emperor. Although he is a sixth rank, those third-rank officials are not polite when they see the chief of the printing and bookmarks. A few days ago, they often saw him and the chief minister of the cabinet, Sun Chengzong. It is said that the time is the time for Jiang Yuan to enter the cabinet to be a senior secretary!"
"It's really amazing, it's strange. A few days ago, I saw an official who was not a third-rank rank using this carriage. Who is that?"
"That's even more powerful. Have you heard of the Anti-corruption Bureau? The officials in the court must be the third rank, but even the first rank are respectful when they see it, for fear that Yang Lian and Yang Yuan are unhappy!"
"You guys are muttering what, don't work yet!"
Ma Dezhi turned his head to look at Jiang Riguang. When he saw Jiang Riguang, he looked indifferent and was not easy to ask questions. However, Tian Bufei said excitedly: "Our Master Zheng of the Yuan Dynasty is a person trusted by the emperor. Although it is not a third-rank, so what? Didn't the emperor give our Master Zheng of the Yuan Dynasty a special privilege? So Governor Ma, you are very familiar with Yang Lian Yuanzheng and Jiang Yuanzheng now, and there will be a bright future in the future!"
Ma Dezhi thought it was really true that this was the case, as if it was worth it this time.
"Tian Bufei, I have asked you to control your mouth for a long time, but you are still stubborn and still talk nonsense. You are fined half of your salary this month. If it weren't for the lack of staff in the book printing house now, I would have transferred you away and would have allowed you to talk nonsense here!" Jiang Riguang looked at the scenery outside the carriage, and didn't even look at Tian Bufei.
"Sir, the official is just telling the truth. Why is it a fine again? I was fined half of my salary last month by you. This month, what should I do with my parents, wife and children?" Tian Bufei actually acted like a hooligan.
When Jiang Riguang heard Tian Bufei say so pitiful, he turned his head and said, "Tian Bufei, this trick is less. You have not been married yet. You will be deducted all the wives and children from there! However, if you persist until the end of the month, I will still consider letting you go!"
When Ma Dezhi saw this scene, he was shocked to be able to get along with his mouth. He didn't expect that Jiang Riguang would have such a side.
…………
"What do you guys do?" Jiang Riguang arrived at the Peking University. As soon as he got off the carriage, he was stopped by some Jinyiwei who were in charge of guarding the safety.
"Assigning to the opening ceremony of the Navy University on the order of the emperor!" Jiang Riguang said while taking out the waist tag from his waist.
The Jinyiwei carefully checked Jiang Riguang's waist sign and said, "It turns out that it is Lord Jiang from the Printing Bookstore. Please go here!"
Jiang Riguang walked into the Peking University. The bustling Peking University was much more solemn, with Jinyiwei walking everywhere. The rest were some sparse Peking University students. This Peking University is still mainly engaged in short-term training, so it is an exaggeration to call a university, and it is a college. This time, the Naval University was very troublesome because it was re-established. It happened that Peking University was relatively idle, so the Naval University became an affiliated unit of Peking University.
Due to the current emperor's concept of frugality, this opening ceremony of course ended in a simple way, but Zhu Youxiao found some things to do. Many of the students in the Navy University this time participated in the Battle of Penghu. Zhu Youxiao asked some students to have a discussion after the ceremony.
In a newly built hall at the Capital University, Zhu Youzhai sat high above the hall a chair specially prepared for Zhu Youzhai. He was surrounded by officials of all sizes and Jinyiwei, and the hall was full of excited students.
Jiang Riguang secretly looked at the hall, and his heart was a little sank. There were so many people, if the emperor pursued him this time, he would be over, but he still gritted his teeth and walked into the hall through the side door and towards Zhu Youxiao.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing today? Why are you here now? The emperor has been impatient for a long time and has asked someone to go to the cabinet and your mansion to find you!" Wei Chao saw Jiang Riguang coming in, and said hurriedly.
Jiang Riguang was shocked when he heard this. He thought that the emperor had nothing to do with him. It seemed that he had made a big mistake this time, so his face changed drastically and he asked, "Eunuch Wei, I'm busy with the book printing company, and forgot what the emperor ordered. What's wrong with the emperor looking for me Jiang Riguang?"
Wei Chao pulled Jiang Riguang away and said, "Actually, there is nothing, but the emperor said he wanted to give an interview to the heroes of this Penghu War and write a column to introduce it!"
Jiang Riguang felt relaxed and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law! I also asked my father-in-law to report to the emperor, saying that the matter at the printing office was too busy, and some things were delayed a lot of time, so it would be a little late this time!"
Wei Chao turned around and walked towards Zhu Youxiao, whispered in Zhu Youxiao's ear, and then Zhu Youxiao's eyes were casting at Jiang Riguang, with a little anger in his eyes, but when his eyes turned to Ma Dezhi, it was obviously relaxed.
Chapter completed!
