Chapter 30: Mourning from the Horn of Los Angeles in Winter (2)

"Young man, please pay homage to the prince." On this day, Yan Xiaoyi hurried to Wang Youshan's mansion.

"Xiao Yi, seeing you in a hurry, do you have something to ask Brother Hua for something important?"

"When you say it to the prince, it was the judge Kong Tong of Henan Prefecture who called Shisanlang over and said that he had something important to come to him."

"Brother Hua is practicing swords and guns in the backyard. Hurry up and go find him, don't miss Shangguan's errands. He practiced hard day and night these days, and he forgot that he had the county magistrate's dispatch."

After receiving the news from Yan Xiaoyi, Zeng Baohua changed into a regular dress and hurried to Henan Prefecture.

"Shisanlang, the officials and the three provinces have the intention of the eunuchs, do you know?" Kong Jie said straight to the point.

I know nothing! I've been busy practicing these days, and even on the street patrols and on duty can save as much as possible. Anyway, I've become a regular person. But I can't say that.

Zeng Baohua bowed and replied: "If you go back to the magistrate Kong Tong, the young man will be patrolling the streets and on duty. Such important edicts are probably just passed to the magistrate Hu, but have not yet been passed to Xiaguan."

Kong Jie also asked this and continued to nodded, "The official family was inspired by the late emperor raising a large number of concubines, actors, and eunuchs in the palace, which consumed huge amounts of money. In order to save expenses and raise money for the people, he issued an edict to leave only 100 female officials, 30 eunuchs, 100 eunuchs, 20 eagle houses, and 50 imperial chefs in the palace, and all the rest were removed. Older people were given priority, and all young palace maids were returned home, and those who were homeless would be allowed to be married to a good family. Those who were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Eunuchs and other departments were also revoked."

Zeng Baohua heard about this and it has been circulated for several months. However, there is a lot of involvement in it, and there is no further information. I didn't expect that it will finally be settled now.

After a pause in Kong Jie, Zeng Baohua quickly said, "I heard about this matter. The official family is wise and sympathetic to the people, and has the spirit of Shun, Yao and benevolence."

Kong Jie reached out his hand and pressed it slightly, smiled faintly, and continued, "According to this edict, there were more than 900 people in the Huangmen of the Eunuchs who were abolished by the Provincial Eunuchs. However, these people were homeless after leaving the palace and had no plans to make a living. The Xuanhui Court envoy Meng Gong pleaded for mercy, requesting that these officials be placed in the Beidu and conservative of the old palace and the old temple. The Privy Council envoy An Gong also wrote a letter to plead, and the officials agreed. All the abolished officials were limited to the road within five days, and they could carry their own wealth and goods, and all the prefectures and counties could assist them without any obstacles."

Zeng Baohua listened quietly. These things had nothing to do with him. It was impossible for Judge Kong Tong to find him because of this. It must be that the following things were related to him.

"Zhisanlang, these provincial officials have been placed in Beidu. Everyone knows that it is a demotion. According to the system, the army needs to be escorted. However, these middle officials are all slaves of the official family, which is related to the face of the heavenly family. Moreover, they have no convictions, so no one is good-looking. So the Prime Ministers mean that we are the two counties in Luoyang and Henan. The county magistrates each bring fifty patrols to escort these middle officials to Beidu, so that everyone can explain it. But..."

I knew there was another but, as if officials from all ages have been, they would not be able to continue saying this but without saying this.

"There is only one county magistrate in Henan County, and he has both errands in the east and west departments. So you have to go to Shisanlang for a trip. When you come back from Beidu, it is already spring, and Xu Dalang's virtuous nephew should have returned to Beijing from Fengxiang."

"Give up the official order!"

After coming out of the government office, Zeng Baohua looked back and looked back. Why did every time I came to this government office, I was arranged clearly? Is this the first-level official position to kill people? Or is the wisdom of these Shangguans really higher than that of themselves?

That night, in a remote attic somewhere in the imperial city, people were surging here. Jiang Zuoen was sitting in the upper head. Wang Zhidao, Gu Mo and others were there, and those with official positions in the Feilong Stable were present.

"Everyone is here, let's start." Jiang Zuoen tried his best to maintain his majestic and calmness, but the people close to him who were sitting on the left and right could see the uneasiness in the corner of his eyes.

"There were traitors in the court who slandered the loyal and righteous ministers of our eunuchs. Fortunately, the official family was wise and wise ministers such as Meng Gong were safeguarded, so that the disaster would not be caused. In order to avoid suspicion, most of our eunuchs moved north to the Northern Capital, please guard the Taimiao ancestral tomb. The way, you can tell me the arrangements." Jiang Zuoen said silently after he finished speaking.

Wang Zhidao said loudly: "We are 269 people in the inner flying dragon stable, plus other yamen of the Neifang Bureau, as well as the inner government, the inner servants and other eunuchs, totaling 876 people. Five days later, the third day, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, set off. Gu Shu,"

"I'm here!"

"You deployed for the Pioneer and led 40 Lex men to open the way."

"Follow the order."

After arranging one by one, Han Sun, who was standing behind Jiang Zuoen, turned his eyes and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Dear, our Feilong Steady has thousands of good horses and hundreds of servile servants outside the city. What should we do about it?"

"Those who have to support the Holy Army to take over will have more trouble." Jiang Zuoen waved his hand. He glanced at everyone and found that everyone was depressed and absent-minded. Alas, people have dispersed and the team is difficult to lead.

Zeng Baohua returned to the West Hall and told Guo Yanyi to select 50 people from the list and gather for training several times. He also asked Wen Shidao to move his Wen to the East Hall, prepare food and grass for fifty people, and prepare to set off in five days.

"Hua Ge'er, Pusanlang is here, and he also comes with a porter. He takes a load of money and says he is asking for it from Han Shun."

"Call in!"

"I have met County Magistrate Zeng and I have greeted the officials!" This time Pusanlang's attitude was much more humble, which was completely different from the past when he was respectful, reserved, and neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh, Pusanlang, why did you have time to come to the yamen today? Is there something wrong?" Zeng Baohua guessed the reason for his change in attitude, but on the surface he still asked him in a tone as usual.

"If you go back to the county magistrate, you will fulfill your mission and get back all the debts that Han Shun owes to officials." Pusanlang bent over slightly, with a flattering smile on his face. This smile in the past only happened when he was facing his adoptive father Ambassador Jiang.

"Oh, he has paid back all 250 knots?" Han Shun owed 600 knots of gambling debts, and Pusanlang shared half of the debt collection share. He has been urging him to repay these days, but only 50 knots were urged back. The imperial guards only need to return dozens of knots.

"If you go back to the county magistrate, you will be 300 stalemates."

"Ah, I have paid back all three hundred guan? Where did Han Shun get rich?" Zeng Baohua asked in surprise. Three hundred guan is not a small amount. Even if it falls from the sky, this pile of money can kill people.

"The little one is also guessing where this little bastard got rich. Even if he sells ***, he won't make so much money so quickly." The only thing Pusanlang has remained unchanged is that he will trample on Han Shun whenever he has the chance.

"It's just that Han Shun, who is holding a dog, has a lot of bad money in the money he returns, and is still short of more than a dozen chunks. The young man was afraid of tainting the eyes of the officials, so he replaced the bad money with newly minted official coins and made up for the shortage. He was the young man who respected the officials."

You are a bunch of birds, and you have a great ability to change your mind when you see the wind. Zeng Baohua said calmly and nodded slightly: "Well, then thank you for your hard work. I will remember your filial piety in my heart."

After wandering in the officialdom for a long time, he also saw more and more county magistrates, county magistrates, Zuo County Wei and others in the official style. Zeng Baohua also learned to be three points.

Pusanro was overjoyed. He was just waiting for this sentence.

"Do you know about Ambassador Jiang and his friends' placement of Beidu?" Zeng Baohua asked inadvertently.

Pusanro's waist was even more bent. Of course I knew, I was so worried these days. It took several years to feed hundreds or thousands of guan to my adopted father, who was at his disciple. He left without leaving any preparation for me.

It's so difficult for me!
