Chapter 79: Pure victory over mirror light (3)
"Sir! I can't do it!"
Zhuo Siheng hadn't seen Pan Guangling turned pale and trembling when he was frightened. He almost jumped out of the distance and waved his hands vigorously towards him: "You let me continue to work in the labor camp. I still have a lot of things to do."
Now that we have started, we can’t let go of the Yan Kiln matter!”
"So what you told me before about your 'caring for the people' and your desire to be a local magistrate like Ximen Bao were all just to make your boss happy?" Zhuo Siheng pretended to suddenly realize.
"How dare I! Everything I said to you, sir, is from the bottom of my heart!" Pan Guangling was so anxious that he almost cried, "But being a chief historian... I really can't do it... I don't know anything except for things like work and cao.
No, how can you shoulder such a big responsibility?"
Zhuo Siheng gently lifted his hem and sat back gracefully: "You are born to be able to do these things, so you are really a prodigy. Don't you need to learn this? Do you want to be a little worker forever? You clearly have it in your heart.
You have greater ambitions, but why are you afraid of opportunities? Do you not believe in my arrangements and trust, or do you not believe in your own abilities and ambition?"
A series of sharp questions were uttered in a gentle tone. Pan Guangling had sweated more than when running a horse. He was anxious and uneasy, and could not give an answer.
Seeing how pitiful he looked, Zhuo Siheng felt soft-hearted, so he comforted him: "It is my duty to act according to my ability, but it is what you should do at this time to obey the orders of your superiors. You cannot do it just because you have not tried something.
Then put the blame in every possible way, Think about it, if we were like this, wouldn't the people be in trouble every day? You and I both hope that the day of Qingyan in Xianglong will come soon, do you just plan to wait for others to do it? Three
What will you do if I am transferred from here in the next year? Wait until the next appointment of Zhuo Siheng comes? Then what will you do if the next person is He Mengchun or Cui Lu? Just be as cynical and full of resentment as before, and continue to waste your time.
How about your time with the people? Xue He... As parents and officials, we must not be like this!"
Pan Guangling heard the word he called her warmly, but the rest of his words were extremely important. His heart was like a hundred rivers crossing the sea, and there were rushing currents everywhere, as if the person in front of him at this time was not Zhuo Tongpan, but one of his
The elder brother was teaching earnestly, full of sincere personal care, and every word led him to the farthest reaches of the world that he had never been before.
Zhuo Siheng stood up and stood in front of Pan Guangling, looked into his eyes and said: "You yourself said that pursuing fame and reputation is not a bad thing, but the bad thing is that you only have these two things in your heart. I believe you are not such a person.
I have been here for nearly half a year. If I am transferred after the expiration of my term in more than two years, what I hope most is that you can take over all my administration and planning. Only you have this ability.
With an innocent heart that has no ambitions, we can realize the peaceful paradise in our minds in Anhua County with our own hands. Don’t you want to watch the ideal in your heart be realized bit by bit with your own hands?"
He actually had a lot more to say, but he stopped because Pan Guangling had started to cry.
"Sir...I'm afraid I can't do it well..."
Pan Guangling cried like a teenage boy. He grinned and sobbed at first, then burst into tears. He didn't care about etiquette and just wiped his tears with his sleeves.
"I...I don't want to live up to the teachings and trust you have placed in me!"
After saying that, he knelt down again. This time it was not to salute, but to hug Zhuo Siheng's waist firmly, and began to cry loudly. While crying, he shouted: "Sir! I promise you! I will definitely live up to you."
! I want to be the best official in Quan Anhua County... No! The best official in Quan Jinzhou! I want everyone here to live a good life! It’s not just about food and clothing! It’s about everyone being happy.
Those days! I...I must do it! I will learn! I will study hard! I promise you! Sir...I promise you!"
Zhuo Siheng was touched and a little dumbfounded. Forget it, his younger brothers and sisters, related or not, have long been unable to be pulled by a carriage. It doesn't matter if there is one more. The so-called debts are too heavy to bear. So he patted him gently.
He still hugged the shoulders of Pan Guangling, who was kneeling on his waist and crying wildly, and said softly: "Okay, okay, my brother has never cried like this. You are seven or eight years older than him, why are you crying?
Like a child, I know, you must be able to do it, come on, stop crying, wipe your face, if your eyes are swollen from crying, how can you go back to the county office to meet your colleagues?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Yan's comfort made Pan Guangling cry even harder. He would scream at one moment as an adult, and at another, he would not let go. Such a sweet-tempered person, Zhuo Siheng, had almost never been seen in the Imperial Capital. Apart from being funny and distressed, it was actually real.
Give him a sense of responsibility and teach him well from now on.
At this time, in the mountain post courtyard, the post guard was holding tea and his face turned pale with fright. The sound of crying was still heard from inside the house. He tremblingly asked Lu Hui: "Lu Yi Cheng... this Zhuo Tongpan looked at Si
You're so gentle, how can you be so aggressive when your subordinate makes a mistake? A tough guy like Secretary Pan actually scolded him like this...I...I don't dare to go in..."
Lu Hui looked at the door where the sound of crying came from, took the tea tray and said: "It's okay, it may not be just a scolding. You go down first, I will send it off later, don't disturb them to talk about business."
…
When he returned to his residence that day, Zhuo Siheng finally arranged the rest of the matters, and told Pan Guangling to take two days to learn official document writing and clerical essentials, and to follow the previous instructions.
He was so frightened that Pan Guangling immediately nodded in agreement, saying that he would definitely practice professional skills as a civil servant.
But his official uniform was damaged, and when he took it to the servants to wash, the servants thought that Mr. Zhuo was going to visit the countryside again today. They definitely didn't expect that the patches of snot and tears on his chest were caused by the tears of the new chief minister of Anhua County.
Sitting in the study, Zhuo Siheng checked his next schedule: the meeting with Song Yunhe was scheduled at the Yan Kiln, and he could just go with him to see the new firing conditions in the Yan Kiln. He also had an idea in his mind.
Even the quality is not enough, the quantity must be able to keep up with the demand. The rock kiln site is too small, there are only three furnaces, one for firing biscuits and two for firing glazes, which is really not enough. We have to find a way to provide all aspects. This is necessary.
You have to see it for yourself.
There are also some field arrangements and newly planted sisal gardens. Even if Lord He wants him to do all of these, he has to go down and see for himself.
By the way, there is also Lu Hui's matter, which is not urgent. We will discuss it after he and his mother have discussed it, and the result is probably similar to what he expected.
But Wang Botang has not made any sound since he was escorted by Cui Lu, so he has to guard against this...
Zhuo Siheng gathered his thoughts until midnight, ate some late-night snacks, and then sorted out his political affairs and read the letters. There were no letters from home. Maybe Huiheng had worked hard preparing for the exam and had no time to write. The exam was almost over after counting the days. I wonder how his sister did in the exam.
, are you exhausted...
As he thought, he leaned on the table and answered the important letter. Maybe he was so tired today that he fell asleep without realizing it...
…
Imperial Capital, Tianzhang Hall.
After the court ceremony in the early morning, the first person summoned by the Emperor Tianzhang Palace for routine political inquiries was Princess Xuanyi.
"Brother is too busy these days, so I can't even see him even if he wants to."
When Princess Xuanyi entered the palace, she felt as if she were coming home. She did not call her "brother" like the ordinary brothers and sisters of the Tian family. She had been calling her "brother" for almost thirty years and had never changed.
"You are very busy yourself. A few days ago, Concubine Luo wanted to hold a family banquet for the Summer Solstice. You had to mark the papers in person, as if you were really the chief official of the imperial examination. Why, I came here today and thought I was too busy.
?" The emperor said with a smile and ordered people to get the tea and snacks that the princess usually loved to drink and dried fruits, and also asked someone to get a cushion for the chair - the eldest princess was sent to Yeting because of her father's death in the early years.
As a slave, she suffered from cold pain in her waist and knees. The emperor did not allow her to stand for a long time. The imperial doctor at the princess's house who always attended to the disease also stayed at the emperor's order for a long time specifically for this disease.
Naturally, the princess never needed to be as polite as her Tian family brother. She sat down with a smile. The rest of the palace people had long been accustomed to it and followed the emperor's instructions to complete all the trivial matters. They all slowly withdrew, leaving only the two brothers and sisters.
Narrative.
"My sister has completed the tasks assigned by her brother. The five people selected for this selection have been finalized. Congratulations to my brother Huang Gang for his noble academic style and good governance throughout the boudoir. The women of our court also understand the righteousness and practice good deeds. So,
The finished article is truly amazing!" Princess Xuanyi couldn't help stroking her palms when she was excited about it.
The emperor smiled happily and said: "So this is an article that you like very much about having a sister?"
"Brother, read this article." The eldest princess took out a fold from her sleeve and handed it to the imperial brother in person, "Luo Nvshi and I have ranked this article as the top one in this selection. This is the article for the number one scholar in our imperial court.
"
There was a kind of coquettishness in her tone when she talked about business. The emperor was so coaxed that he said with great interest: "That girl Yuanzhu asked such tricky questions. I thought no one could catch her eyes. I didn't expect you to disagree."
If it’s so the same, then I’ll have to read it carefully.”
The eldest princess brought the original answer sheet. As soon as the emperor unfolded it, he let out a sigh and looked at his sister in surprise: "Why does this handwriting look so familiar?"
The eldest princess smiled silently and asked him to continue reading. The emperor laughed and scolded his sister for being mysterious, but he also focused on reading and was unknowingly attracted by the article. He was not a person who showed off his words easily, but he did not hide it in front of his sister at this time.
The eyes were filled with astonishment, and I sighed at the wonderful article. After reading the whole chapter, I still had more to say: "The words are so straightforward, elegant, and smooth. How can such a good article be written by a girl in the boudoir?"
"They answered the questions on the spot. It was really impossible to find someone to write them for them. It was indeed women who answered the questions."
"Whose daughter is so well-bred?"
The eldest princess smiled and said nothing, and took out another fold. It listed the birthplaces, family origins and names of five women. The first one read the author of this article:
Chapter completed!
