An hour later, Wang Tao still found some information about Lianzhou. Most of this information was obtained from some fragments of words. To put it bluntly, Lianzhou is a disgusting place. It was the Acne of the Ming Dynasty. No one knew it.
I don’t want to mention it. No pop-ups in Qishuwu
When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, it is natural that the majesty and grandeur of the capital city are indispensable, the prosperity of Tianjin like Beitongzhou is indispensable, and the unique style of Suzhou and Hangzhou is indispensable. As for Lianzhou, a place that has been neglected since childhood, who has the interest to pay attention to it.
Almost all information related to Lianzhou contains words such as barbarism and armed fighting.
In later generations, this was an old frontier area, not only extremely poor but also causing trouble from time to time.
In addition, it is adjacent to Annan. Although the Annan Kingdom surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, it often behaved unruly. The Ming Dynasty also carried out military operations against Annan frequently, making this area even more chaotic.
Liu Chengfeng gasped at the air conditioner. Would he dare to go to such a place, where he was really asked to become a native emperor? He might encounter a rebellion from the native barbarians someday. If there was another instigation from Annan, the Liu family would still be on tenterhooks.
of living.
Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, these Ten Thousand Households of Marquis, just treat it as a false title."
Wang Tao also smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of barbarians there. The Han people are all in the counties and prefectures. The Han and barbarians are in the same situation. In addition, the land is barren, and it is close to the sea and Annan. It is really not true.
It’s a good place, but fortunately it’s just a fiefdom, and the court still appoints officials. If you can’t get in, you still have an annual income, so you don’t have anything to worry about?”
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said nothing more.
After a while, Zhou Tai, Zhu Haide and others came to pay their respects.
Liu Chengfeng's will was sent, and other people's wishes were also sent. This time the reward was definitely beyond everyone's expectation. For example, this time Zhou Tai did not go to Dali Temple, but went straight to Shunyao Mansion.
, although the promotion official of Dali Temple is docile
The prime ministers of the Yaofu Prefecture are all fourth-rank officials, but in Dali Temple, there are temple ministers, shaoqings and temple prime ministers, who are much older than him. In the Shunyao Prefecture, he is the second-in-command of the Shunyao Prefecture.
With a snake head and a dragon's tail on one side, Shunyao Mansion is obviously better.
Furthermore, with the establishment of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the functions of Dali Temple have become lower and lower. In the Song Dynasty, Dali Temple could directly question and judge officials, and even had the power of picketing. But now,
These rights have long been divided up by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment have taken over part of its responsibilities.
Today's Dali Temple, to put it bluntly, specializes in reviewing the case. After the Criminal Department judges the case, it will send the case file to Dali Temple for a formality. As for other matters, they do not need to interfere.
But Shunyao Prefecture is different. Although it is called a prefecture, it governs five states and nineteen counties. It is not as big as a province, but it has the scope of authority of half a province. Not to mention the Gyeonggi Province.
, with millions of entrances under his jurisdiction. Basically, the power and rank of the Shunyao Prefecture Governor are equivalent to those of the local governor. As for the Shunyao Prefecture Prime Minister, he is roughly regarded as the chief envoy of a province.
The status is absolutely transcendent.
Zhou Tai was overjoyed with this appointment and was naturally beaming with joy.
As for Zhu Dehai, he was directly promoted from a small Qianhu household to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Yiying Infantry Army. The army and horses under his command increased by more than ten times from a thousand. This was still the most elite military horse in the Ming Dynasty. How could it be the same as that of an ordinary Qianhu household?
Can be compared.
Everyone else received a reward. It can be said that the reward exceeded everyone's expectations. After everyone accepted the decree, they naturally couldn't forget Liu Chengfeng. Without Liu Qianhu, how would we be today? In addition, Zhou Tai had praised everyone before
Now that I think about it, if I get promoted in the future, I will inevitably have someone to protect me. If something goes wrong in the future, someone will help cover up and intercede. Liu Qianhu, the holy family member, is prosperous. If he doesn’t have a ready-made relationship, how can he still worship him?
Another pier?
Qianhusuo became lively again. In fact, Liu Chengfeng felt the most depressed. Wanhuhou seemed to sound glamorous, but in fact it was not much different from his Fengcheng uncle. It was just that his salary had increased a little. He was unknown.
Inside, everyone looked at him with admiration. After all, Liu Chengfeng was the first marquis of his surname to have the ability to grant a fiefdom, which shows that the palace valued and relied on him. However, Liu Chengfeng knew his own pain, and he had his front teeth knocked out.
It can only be swallowed into the stomach.
Seeing that everyone has errands, they are immediately preparing to go to various places to take up their posts. Among them, there are thirty people going to the capital. I am afraid that they will be ready to leave tomorrow morning, but according to the decree, although Liu Chengfeng has been knighted, there are still many people in the palace.
There is no intention of letting him move. It seems that he will have to stay in Beitongzhou for a while.
It was obviously his first achievement, but the result was so good. You can imagine Liu Chengfeng's mood. He reluctantly welcomed the crowd, held a banquet at night, and had to have a drink with everyone. In the early morning of the next day, Liu Chengfeng got up early again.
They got up and sent some of them to take office. There was a lot of excitement in the ten-mile long pavilion, and firecrackers were set off, but Liu Chengfeng felt sour and lacked energy.
Why hasn't the palace sent him to the capital yet? Logically speaking, he has already understood this matter about Beitongzhou. This appointment is also a temporary appointment and cannot last long. But now it seems that the palace has forgotten him, leaving him without a trace all day long.
Spirit.
Liu Chengfeng wanted to cheer up and do something good in Beitongzhou, but his wish was not fulfilled. There were already too many people working in Beitongzhou. Both Liu Daxia and Wang Ao were as busy as a revolving door every day.
It's not Liu Chengfeng's turn yet.
Wang Ao and Liu Chengfeng had a teacher-student relationship, and Liu Chengfeng went to visit him a few times. However, Wang Ao seemed to be very busy when he arrived in Beitongzhou. The few times he saw him, he said goodbye in a hurry, which made Liu Chengfeng even more...
depressed.
As for Liu Daxia, Liu Chengfeng had no friendship with him at all and was not willing to have anything to do with him. Civil and military careers were different, so there was no need to visit him.
Therefore, Liu Chengfeng could only sit idle and wait for the imperial edict to come. The longer he waited, the more irritated he became. He had to mobilize the Qianhu Office to shake the ground in Beitong Prefecture. The result was that there was no rebel party in Beitong Prefecture.
Lian Xi
The thieves have all disappeared. If a dog takes a mouse, who dares to make trouble with the pro-insurgents? I go to the house and try my best to look for some unsighted guys to deal with. If they make trouble again, why don't I send them to my door and let the pro-insurgents capture them and take them to the City God's Temple for repairs?
?
On February 15th, Wang Ao finally sent someone to ask Liu Chengfeng to speak. It seemed that this time, his mentor suddenly had some free time. Liu Chengfeng didn't have any bad intentions. He knew that Wang Ao was not
The kind of person who is full of food and is holding on well. He also has a lot of official duties now. If he asks himself to speak, he will definitely reveal something.
So he quickly dressed up and immediately went to see the imperial envoy. The people outside were polite to him and led him into the flower hall inside. They also served tea. Liu Chengfeng settled down and just drank a cup of tea. Wang Ao
arrive.
Wang Ao looks a lot older these days. Liu Daxia is killing chickens to scare monkeys, but the order he received is to appease, one has a black face and the other has a red face. This appeasement is actually an amnesty. It looks easy, but it is actually difficult to do. For the same offense,
Liu Daxia felt that he should be severely punished, but Wang Ao thought that this was just a coercion and should be appeased. The two sides had to deal with each other, but Liu Daxia was stubborn.
Temperament, once decided, it is difficult to change, others do not dare to persuade, so they have to let Wang Ao negotiate. Sometimes it is his own negligence with Liu Shangjiu. As for Wang Ao, if Liu Daxia is allowed to attack at will,
How can I appease my heart? The more I kill, the more uneasy my heart becomes. Instead of doing this, it would be better to kill one less person. Anyway, these people won't cause any trouble.
Seeing Liu Chengfeng, Wang Ao's face became a little warm. He couldn't help but smile at Liu Chengfeng and said, "Chengfeng, how are you doing lately? You don't have to get up to salute. Sit down and talk."
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was about to stand up and bow to his master, Wang Ao lowered his hands and tried to look as pleasant as possible.
Liu Chengfeng still bowed before sitting down and said: "It's not bad, but I've been doing nothing all day and I feel unhappy."
In front of Wang Ao, Liu Chengfeng had nothing to hide. With things like this, everyone knew what he was thinking. It was unavoidable that he was being pretentious.
Wang Ao smiled: "Why, you don't want to stay in Beitongzhou anymore?"
When Liu Chengfeng saw that Wang Ao was straight to the point, he naturally had a heart-to-heart with Wang Ao and said: "To be honest, my teacher, my disciples are always in a state of anxiety. They have obviously made great achievements, but they feel as if they have been sent out.
When we were in Beijing, the emperor said that this was just a temporary errand, and he would have to return to Beijing sooner or later, but now..."
Liu Chengfeng sighed, now he couldn't figure out Zhu Youtang.
Wang Ao smiled, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and then said calmly: "I understand your thoughts. In fact, not only me, but also the emperor may not know your thoughts."
Liu Chengfeng knew that Wang Ao had something to say, so he didn't interrupt and just tried to listen.
Wang Ao continued: "Your Majesty can't transfer you to the capital right now. Do you know why?"
Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "Please ask my teacher for advice."
Perhaps because of the confusion of the authorities, Liu Chengfeng still hasn't figured out Zhu Youtang's thoughts, but judging from Wang Ao's appearance, it seems that Wang Ao knows something about it.
Wang Ao said calmly: "The problem lies in the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. His Majesty ordered you to be the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Do you know how much criticism there was behind this? To tell you the truth, since the imperial edict was issued, there have been letters of objection every day.
, At this juncture, His Majesty just wants to settle down and settle down, why would he transfer you to the capital at this time and provoke the anger of all the civil and military officials?"
