Volume 19 of Ding Volume: Wang Wenyan of Shexian County, Chivalrous Chronicles of Nine States
Lin Ruhai laughed, "He is my favorite disciple of the same year who is now the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is also a close disciple of Qi Yongtai, the current bachelor of Dongge and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Do you think he can do this?
Can’t you even consider it?”
"He is only sixteen years old after all. Whether it is to suppress the rebellion in Western Xinjiang or to come up with the strategy of opening up the sea and borrowing money, it is just a consideration from a higher level. As for these subtle details, you may not be able to imagine it, right?
"
The man in green shirt disagreed. He felt that his boss had a too high opinion of this young man who was in the limelight.
"Of course, this is definitely not a problem for Qiao and Qi. It's true."
Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Wen Yan, you will know if you get in touch with him if you have the chance. He is not such a simple young man."
"Oh? Dong Weng has seen him, what is he doing here?" Wang Wenyan was very curious. This person who was also famous in Jiangnan Shilin actually went south quietly. Why? Even if he wanted to
To avoid the limelight, you must have a suitable reason, just like those who watch the government.
"He went south with Cui Jingrong, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The imperial court intended for them to inspect and understand the conditions for opening up the sea in the south of the Yangtze River and to select a pilot site. Well, he is now a editor of the Hanlin Academy."
Lin Ruhai was also filled with emotion. He was also born as a third-level scholar, but he was only taught by one editor in the Hanlin Academy. Later, he embarked on this path, and this guy actually got an editor who was only qualified to be the top scholar with a second-class Jinshi background.
, I have to say that the court's kindness is different.
"Hanlin Academy Compilation?! The second-level Jinshi was awarded the Hanlin Academy Compilation? It's only been more than a year!" The man in green shirt was shocked.
He was born as a minor official, and when he was young, he once hoped to find a way out through the scientific examination. Unfortunately, he failed to pass the examination for several years, and finally had to work as a minor official in She County due to lack of livelihood.
From Shexian to Huizhou and then to Yangzhou, his journey was full of ups and downs. He was betrayed by friends and framed by colleagues. However, he finally broke out, but he only saw that he was the chief staff officer of the Salt Transfer Department in the Huaihe River.
However, he encountered something like Dong Weng being seriously ill, which made him feel that the law of heaven was impermanent.
He has always been full of yearning for scientific examinations, but unfortunately he is not a student. He also knows that if he fails to pass the scientific examinations in the Zhou Dynasty, he will never be in the center of power. However, he is still unwilling to accept it, so he enters the Lianghuai Salt Movement.
Yamen this path.
After all, this place is a little different from the normal local government yamen. With the emperor's favor and favor, you can have more opportunities here. It's a pity that the gods are not false, but this Dong Weng has encountered such a bad luck.
.
This even gave him, a high-spirited man who had experienced countless setbacks, a sense of disillusionment and frustration. After all, a personal staff like him, especially a low-level official who was not even a scholar, wanted to find a suitable boss again.
It is really difficult to win the recognition and trust of the other party.
If you want to find this kind of opportunity again, you don't know how many years it will take. And how many years like this do you have left to squander?
But now that Dong Weng is seriously ill, he is not the kind of person who is unkind and unjust, so he naturally wants to stay with him until the end. Although he is not a scholar, he has always held himself to the standards of a scholar, or even higher.
Although he didn't know what kind of arrangements Dong Weng would give him, he certainly knew that his Dong Weng's special position was different from that of other officials after being with Dong Weng for so many years.
This was entirely possible because of the favor of Emperor Yuanxi, the current Supreme Emperor. In a sense, the Salt Patrolling Censor was the Supreme Emperor’s personal minister and also the Supreme Emperor’s money bag.
From his own perspective, he is not too optimistic about his Dong Weng's future.
Although Emperor Yuan Xi has been in charge of the government for forty years, he is old after all, and has passed the throne to Emperor Yonglong. Even though there are some inside stories that are not common to outsiders, he does not think that others will have too many opportunities.
The righteousness is on the side of Emperor Yonglong. It will be too difficult for others to come back unless they get the full support of the Supreme Emperor, and the cost of harm to the entire Zhou Dynasty will undoubtedly be too high.
He didn't think that Emperor Yuan Xi, who had been in power for forty years, would do such hasty behavior just because of his temporary emotions. Even if he was old and confused, he couldn't be that confused.
But now Dong Weng's body has also determined that his fate seems to have ushered in a turning point. He did not ask what kind of arrangement Dong Weng would give him.
Recommending him to Dong Weng Xiangshan's colleagues is a way, but he is not optimistic about it, because Dong Weng's position determines that he will not have many close colleagues, which is almost exclusive of being a scholar. Even if he does, it is an ordinary relationship between classmates and fellow villagers.
, are definitely not fellow travelers, and it is unlikely that I will win the trust of these people because of my background.
It is more likely to give yourself a sum of money so that you can have a stable and prosperous second half of your life, but this is not exactly what you want.
"Well, it was compiled by the Hanlin Academy. Such an exception is mainly because the imperial court believed that his military achievements in suppressing rebellions in Western Xinjiang and his contribution to the strategy of opening up the sea and borrowing money were said to be particularly appreciated by the emperor." Lin Ruhai's eyes were calm, but
There was still a bit more appreciation in his tone.
"The imperial court's rewards for military merit are not unimportant." The man in blue shirt couldn't help but sigh.
"Wen Yan, it depends on the person. It's natural for civil servants to achieve military merits, but it may not necessarily be the case for military generals." Lin Ruhai shook his head, "But this time it is different. Feng Ziying has achieved military merits, and the court rewarded him with the title of uncle.
Marquis of Hulun, and allowed him to concurrently serve as a nobility, and what the Hanlin Academy wrote more is that this strategy of opening up seas and borrowing money deeply suits the emperor's mind, and it also solves the urgent needs of the cabinet."
"Oh? Concurrently with the title of Duke?" The man in green shirt only knew that Feng Ziying was born in a martial arts family, but she entered the Hanlin Academy through the imperial examination. This is two extremes, but he did not know that there was also the possibility of concurrently with the title of Duke.
.
"Well, his elder died in the battle of Hulunsai more than ten years ago. Wen Yan should have heard of that battle. It was a fierce battle between the northern imperial court and the Tatars. At that time, Prince Zhongxiao, who is now the emperor, and
Prince Zhongshun only escaped because of the hard work of his elders, so the current emperor should be able to make up for the debt of the imperial court..."
Wang Wenyan, the man in green shirt, nodded. He didn't understand why Dong Weng introduced the other party's affair with Xijue in such detail. What does this have to do with Dong Weng?
"He is also the eldest daughter of Shen Jue and Shen Jiyu, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong Province. His father and his teacher have found a good match for him. He is also the eldest daughter of Shen Jiyu, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong Province." Lin Ruhai's eyebrows flashed with a trace of gloom. .
Wang Wenyan suddenly realized that his boss was a little envious of Mr. Shen, the same year and fellow countryman, for recruiting a good son-in-law?
Wang Wenyan coughed dryly and felt a little funny, but he couldn't put it into words.
At the same time, he could also understand that Dong Weng had to think about his own daughter when his time was running out. He might have thought about Feng Xiuzhan, but he didn't expect that someone else had taken advantage of him, and he was the same year. As a fellow countryman, I'm afraid this feeling of frustration is really uncomfortable.
"Dong Weng, there is no need to worry. Miss Hui Zhi Lan Xin will definitely have a good marriage. Although Feng Ziying seems to be shining brightly now, she is actually a big tree attracting wind. Although there are two teachers to look after her, she is so dazzling. I am afraid that my colleagues and fellow villagers are also highly suspicious and jealous, and I am afraid that they will suffer a lot in the next few years..."
Wang Wenyan's words stunned Lin Ruhai. Then he realized that his words seemed to have misunderstood the staff. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wen Yan, you misunderstood. I am not jealous that Shen Jiyu has found a good son-in-law... "
"Ah?" Wang Wenyan didn't respond. You're not jealous, but why is that unhappy and worried look on your face?
Seeing Wang Wenyan's puzzled face, Lin Ruhai thought for a moment and then said calmly: "Do you know what I mean when I mentioned that Feng Ziying can also serve as a noble because of his military exploits?"
If Wang Wenyan had some realization, he raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Dong Weng, what do you mean..."
"Yes, Feng Ziying and Yu'er were in Linqing four years ago when they were in danger during the Linqing Civil War. Feng Ziying rescued Yu'er and her former teacher Yu'er, who is now the prefect of Jinling, Jia Yu Village, and single-handedly killed Li Sancai, who is now the Minister of Industry, and Qiao Yingjia. Inviting cavalry troops was the only way to suppress this civil uprising, otherwise Shandong would have suffered great chaos... It was precisely because of this that Qiao Yingjia, who was the same year as me, was particularly optimistic about Feng Ziying and recommended him to Qingtan Academy. Only by reading can you be as dazzling as you are today..."
Wang Wenyan was stunned. He really didn't know that Feng Ziying and his boss had such a complicated relationship.
He has been following Lin Ruhai for four years, and Lin Ruhai treats him confidantly and is very sympathetic to him. Basically, she hides nothing from him, but she has never talked about it.
Seeing that Wang Wenyan was a little doubtful, Lin Ruhai also smiled slightly, "These matters are related to Yucun, and there is nothing worth saying in itself, so I didn't say anything to anyone."
Only then did Wang Wenyan come back to his senses.
As the prefect of Jinling Prefecture, Jia Yucun is also a fourth-rank official. If it is rumored that he was a teacher in Lin Mansion, there will probably be resentment.
Of course, ordinary-minded people may not care about this. Has any hero ever been down and out? The saying that a hero does not care where he comes from is also a good saying.
Just being spread among others and spreading from the Lin family are two different things. If Jia Yucun is narrow-minded, he may not think that his boss is using such things to deliberately enhance his own status.
"Dong Weng is determined to be upright, that's what it should be." Wang Wenyan nodded. He also admired his Dong Weng's broad-mindedness, while observing Lin Ruhai's expression, "But as Dong Weng said, Feng Ziying and Miss had such an encounter.
