Chapter 277: Going Home for Chinese New Year
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, on the Little Year of the Year, Zhu Hongsan finally handled the affairs in his hands. The cabinet in the Ming Dynasty had the right to vote for the promulgation, and some major matters of the country were proposed by the cabinet, and then handed over to the Sili Supervisor to approve the dividends, which means making a decision. Although Zhu Hongsan was lazy, it was a modern person's thinking, and he was not at ease with the dead eunuchs at all. So the right to approve the dividends is now in control of Zhu Hongsan.
However, Zhu Hongsan doesn't have to criticize the reds for everything. Zhu Hongsan made a small improvement. The cabinet ticket was planned to be sent to Zhu Hongsan. The newly established Military Affairs Office was refining the essence of the memorials that had already made comments on these cabinets, and then selecting important military information and government affairs matters and handing them over to Zhu Hongsan for confirmation.
In this way, the Military Affairs Office is well off from the Sili Supervisor in the Ming Dynasty, but the Military Affairs Office still has to take care of organizing the information sent from the Jinyiwei and the East Factory, so the Military Affairs Office's power is a little larger than that of the Sili Supervisor.
Now Zhang Jiayu, the military officer, has been transferred from outside, and the leader is Chen Bangyan from the "Sanzhong of Lingnan". After Chen Zizhuang surrendered to Zhu Hongsan, the aristocratic families in Guangdong began to join Zhu Hongsan. Chen Bangyan was one of them. Chen Bangyan set up a museum to give lectures in his early years and was a master of scholars in Guangdong at that time. This time, Zhang Jiayu was transferred from outside, and Zhu Hongsan, the important position of the military officer, handed over to Chen Bangyan.
Zhu Hongsan said to Chen Bangyan: "Mr. Ling Bin, there is nothing to do to have a holiday. Don't work overtime during the New Year."
Chen Bangyan bowed and said, "The State Supervisor has some final work, which can be completed tonight. If the State Supervisor has something to do, let's go first!"
Zhu Hongsan nodded, packed up and went out to go home.
Now Zhu Hongsan's home is no longer in Zhangjiazhuang, Dongguan. It has become a commercial area. The former Chu King's Mansion has completely become a service institution of Zhu Hongsan's regime. All departments are squeezed into this small village. Zhu Hongsan only has a three-entry yard for daily rest here. His current home is in Guangzhou City.
In May this year, Zhu Hongsan saw that the houses were getting increasingly tense, so he moved his wife and children to Guangzhou City first, found a large yard to live in, and moved after the King of Chu outside the city next year.
Zhu Hongsan came to the cabinet yard and saw that there were still crowds of people. Cabinet members were preparing for the income and expenditure of Hongguang's first year and the budget for next year. After going to work on the 16th day of the first lunar month, an annual budget meeting would be held, so the cabinet was seizing the last time to make a budget.
Zhu Hongsan stood at the door and looked at it, but didn't go in. It seemed that the cabinet would work overtime again tonight. Zhu Hongsan's business is over. He is going to go back to his home in Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year with his family.
After leaving the gate, a luxurious carriage was parked at the door, and the guards were full of guards. This was Zhu Hongsan's guard company, which was said to be a guard company, but now there are 600 people, far exceeding the company's organization.
Now the guard company commander is still Zhu Hongyi. When he saw Zhu Hongsan coming out, he set up a horse to escort Zhu Hongsan home.
Zhu Hongsan's carriage came to the Dongguan Wharf. The one who greeted Zhu Hongsan to get out of the dock was the new magistrate of Dongguan, the third son of the Ma family, and Ma Jingyuan. The unlucky Ma Laosan was thrown into Xin'an County by Zhu Hongsan to be the county magistrate two years ago. There was nothing big about that person who was less than 10,000 people going to the county. Because he was approaching the patrol of the seaport and Zhu Hongsan expanded the scale of the navy, the entire Xin'an County has been annexed by the military port, and there were more sailors in it than the people in the county. Ma Jingyuan's status was very awkward. How could he, a civil affairs officer, reach into the navy?
Ma Jingyuan worked for two years in a frustration, and during this period he searched for Ma Mingyuan and Ma Xiaofang countless times. Ma Mingyuan had little feelings for this illegitimate younger brother, and in addition, Tong Yangjia, the mortal enemy in the court, looked at him, and had no time to deal with this unlucky younger brother.
Ma Jiyuan didn't like this younger brother. Ma Jiyuan looked down on his own concubine son. Ma Rufeng is still farming in Zhaoqing, so Ma Jiyuan didn't even ask about it, and he still cared about this younger brother.
Only Ma Xiaofang was very concerned about this third brother. After all, the brother and sister were almost the same age and had the deepest relationship. Ma Xiaofang saw that the third brother was like this and had looked for Zhu Hongsan many times.
Zhu Hongsan was still worried about the fact that Ma Jingyuan bullied him when he was a child, but he could not withstand Ma Xiaofang's soft and hard work. At this time, Dongguan magistrate Gong Dacheng was transferred to Guangzhou Tongzhi, so Zhu Hongsan left this position to Ma Jingyuan.
Ma Jingyuan is already thirty-eight this year, and his years of wasted years have already worn out his edges. When he received that the King of Chu was going home for the New Year today, he was preparing for a farewell at the dock early.
It was not until noon that he saw the King of Chu's carriage coming. Ma Jingyuan hurried forward and said, "Dongguan County will bid farewell to the State Supervisor!"
Zhu Hongsan got off the car and saw Ma Jingyuan, and he was very happy. What is the most successful person in life? Isn’t it just to see his former enemies bowing their heads in front of him?
"Ah, it turns out to be my third brother. How can I celebrate the New Year! Why don't I go back to Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year with me!"
"I dare not, the supervisor will hand over Dongguan to his subordinates for management. The subordinates will ensure that the factory starts day and night, and that the important affairs of the supervisor will not be delayed!"
It seems that Ma Laosan has also grown up, no longer the same stupid as before. Zhu Hongsan saw that he did not say anything, got off the carriage and got on the boat back to Guangzhou.
I saw Ma Jingyuan on the boat waiting until the ship left the dock before getting up and going back. Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Hongyi said, "Brother, how do you think Ma Laosan?"
Zhu Hongyi didn't comment and just nodded. Zhu Hongyi knew that Zhu Hongsan had always held a grudge against Ma Jingyuan who broke his head back, but so many years have passed, this revenge should have faded.
On the evening of the 23rd, Zhu Hongsan's ship arrived at the Pier No. 1 in Guangzhou. Now Zhu Hongsan is the actual controller of Guangzhou. There are more than 12,000 regiments in Guangzhou alone. Officials from all over Guangzhou all came to greet the local emperor.
Zhu Hongsan got off the boat and saw that the officials from one prefecture and two counties in Guangzhou were led by the prefect Yu Shilong and the Tongzhi Gong Dacheng to greet him.
Zhu Hongsan looked around and found that only Guangzhou Prefecture, and no other provincial-level cadres did come. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, saying that these stinky old masters were still pretending to be stinky.
But there was no way. Zhu Hongsan came to this era for so many years and knew a lot about the temper of these intellectuals. The Ming Dynasty literati were not as charming as the Qing Dynasty, and they were very hard. When Emperor Zhengde came to Suzhou in Jiangnan, the prefect of Suzhou actually dared to say that he would leave quickly in front of the emperor. This was unimaginable in the Qing Dynasty.
So Zhu Hongsan also knew that these literati were so naughty that they didn't take it seriously. Today, the prefect of Guangzhou was also the prefect, Yu Shilong, thanked him for promoting him from a magistrate to the prefect, and then organized people to welcome the King of Chu to avoid the cold.
Yu Shilong respected Zhu Hongsan on the surface, but he was also very disgusted with this prince who was eating, drinking, gambling, and cheating, cheating, stealing and stealing all poisons. After finishing his face, he took people back.
The one who stayed at the dock was the new Nanhai County Magistrate Li Fugui. This guy helped Feng Ziyong build the Guangzhou Development Zone and moved from the position of promotor to Nanhai County as a magistrate. Although they were all seventh ranks, the meaning was different. The magistrate was called Bailihou, but in fact the local emperor was the local emperor. So Lao Li was grateful to Zhu Hongsan and came to the dock to greet him early.
Seeing that Li Fugui was still staying at the dock, Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and patted Li Fugui on the shoulder, saying, "It's better to be as old as newcomers. It seems that Old Li has feelings!"
Li Fugui felt that after being photographed by Zhu Hongsan, he knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "Your Highness of the State Regent is my old Li's rebirth parents. I am willing to die for the State Regent!"
Seeing that the county magistrate is so shameless, the officials of Nanhai County were so disgusted. They were disgusted. The county magistrate Li was very shameless. They didn't know that this was completely revealed by Li Fugui's true feelings. If Li Fugui was asked to block the knife for Zhu Hongsan now, he would never say anything. It is so realistic for ordinary people. Whoever treats me well will work hard for him.
Zhu Hongsan helped Li Fugui up and said, "Old Li, take your wife and children to my house for the New Year in a few days!"
As soon as this was said, the officials in Nanhai County were stunned. They didn't expect that they could get so many benefits by just flattering themselves. It was the treatment of royal relatives. I knew that they would cry together just now.
They didn't know that Zhu Hongsan thanked Li Fugui, and thanked him for not caring about his life in Zhangjiazhuang at that time and calling the police to force the rape of the rapist Zhu Hongsan to escape.
Li Fugui nodded repeatedly and stood up to send Zhu Hongsan's carriage back to the temporary Chu Prince's Mansion.
The temporary Chu King's Mansion was the house of a sugar merchant in Leizhou Prefecture, but after the Leizhou incident, these sugar merchants were beheaded by Zhu Hongsan, and their property also fell into Zhu Hongsan's hands. Zhu Hongsan chose a large house to live in by himself, and rewarded the others to others.
The gate of the King of Chu's mansion was heavily guarded, and soldiers stood at the door. One of the three regiments stationed in Guangzhou was specifically responsible for guarding Zhu Hongsan. This regiment lived around the temporary royal palace and could arrive immediately if there was anything. There were 600 guard companies in the palace. The guard companies were all veterans who had made military achievements on the front line. Each of them had the rank of a second lieutenant. It can be said that they were ten. Zhu Hongsan was particularly afraid of death now, and his security was the top priority.
I had already notified my family to come back today, so the whole palace was full of joy. There are nearly a hundred eunuchs in the palace now. Some of these people went south after the city of Nanjing was destroyed, and some of them volunteered to be eunuchs recruited by Cao Fang in the local area. After cutting, they entered the palace. Don’t think that being eunuchs is simple. In ancient times, when medical treatment was underdeveloped, castration was a skill, and it has always been a unique skill for several families.
