After nearly ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the morning, Mr. Li, a candidate for foreign affairs as a farmhouse minister in the evening, dragged his body that suffered a tragic (or happy) death from the imperial staff. When he returned to his apartment, he saw Zhang San coming up to him and heard his report: "1 little boy
Fulfilling his mission, he happened to find a suitable house outside the east gate of Chang'an. I heard that his family offended a big shot and was sent to another place, so he wanted to sell the house. Today, I went to negotiate the price and waited for the master.
Let me know after reading it! If you buy it, you can take your mistress over and reunite her."
Li Gui said angrily: "No need! Sir, I'm just as disappointed. I've already been sent out of the capital and will be on the road in three or two days. Why are you looking at a house?" What? Zhang San was shocked and almost didn't believe this sudden good news.
"Is what the master said true? Don't tease me..." "Bah! I have no intention of joking with you." Li Gui walked towards the backyard. Although he only received two strokes of the imperial stick, just in case, he
It’s better to take some medicine.[]
Zhang San followed the master and sighed as he walked: "The capital is really not easy, and even with the master's bravery and martial arts, it is difficult to find a place. It really makes me cry..." "Are you crying with joy?" "Is that so... Master?"
Don’t get me wrong!”
A humble person like Zhang San is also a person with ideals. He follows Mr. Li to show his power and accept some small gifts in the government office. He is respected as an uncle by everyone in front of him. This is what he pursues.
But in the capital, Mr. Li couldn't open an office or build a mansion, so he had no place to serve as an uncle for a long time, and his life was as lonely as snow.
There was nothing to say all night, so Li Gui got up early the next day, washed himself under Xiaozhu's clothes, and hurried out without even bothering to eat.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Gui appeared in the lobby of the front yard of the Ministry of Personnel. Except during the Chinese New Year, this place always looks like a busy city. If the temple is a vanity fair for high-ranking officials and dignitaries, then this place is equivalent to a talent market responsible for the employment of all middle and low-level officials in the world.
.
Under the astonished gaze of a group of hard-working officials to be elected, a young boy who was obviously not an official of the headquarters slammed the imperial edict on the clerk's desk, and walked straight through the front hall to the back hall without saying a word.
What's more, he is arrogant, rude and acts like no one else.
What surprised the officials to be elected even more was that the Suzube clerk, who had always been very arrogant when meeting officials, just turned a blind eye and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Judging from the return of the imperial emissary, it was obvious that this person was also here to elect officials.
But the aura is too strong. Is he a minister, or a disciple of the prime minister?
Li Gui passed through the courtyard gate and went directly into the office of Mr. Zuo, the director of the Literary Selection Department.
Mr. Zuo stood up and cupped his hands. He didn't know whether to congratulate or comfort him. The Empress Dowager's move of "Crying the Golden Palace" was really a killer move. In the end, he had to talk about business first: "I received an urgent edict yesterday, so I knew you would definitely come today.
.
"Where are they located?" Li Gui asked.
Zuo Langzhong was already prepared. He took out a stack of paper and handed it to Li Guang, saying: "This is the current vacancy. Please take a look first."
Mr. Li took it and looked at the first one. His eyes flashed and he pointed: "That's him!" Zuo Langzhong looked around and saw that it was a mistake by Si Yun who was transporting salt from Changludu in the third grade of Hejian.
Got it!
Mr. Zuo quickly snatched the book from Li Gui's hand, peeled off the top few pages, and then handed it to Li Gui again, "You should read it if you are in the sixth grade and below!"
Li Gui smiled and said, "Brother Zuo, why don't you recommend one or two?" Zuo Langzhong suggested with sincerity: "For your reputation and long-term plan, three sides, Guangxi,
Yunnan and Guizhou are both good places to go, and Qiongzhou is also good, but we really can’t go to Hanan. Other places are not miserable enough and are not suitable for raising a family." Li Gui, who was greedy for wealth and prosperity, broke into a cold sweat and lowered his head to flip through the book.
. I accidentally saw the word "Lin'an". It seemed like a good place, it should be in Zhejiang. As the saying goes, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou in heaven. Hangzhou is ancient Lin'an. Although it is not as good as Suzhou, it is not bad, and it is far away from my hometown.
Very close. He pointed again: "This is okay!"
Zuo Langzhong showed a childish expression and said happily: "You are really knowledgeable, Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan?"
Yun Yunnan?! Mr. Li is speechless. Who can tell him why this dynasty used Lin'an, a landmark place name with historical significance, for a certain prefecture in Yunnan?
Li Gui still didn't want to be too far away from Suzhou, so he put down the registration book again and asked: "When I changed my position, this group of officials had special privileges, and they were not restricted by the province and the five hundred miles..."
Zuo Langzhong shook his head and said: "Don't mention it again, Jiangnan will not work. It will be a big deal if you are really elected to Jiangnan. It is expected that I and you will be dismissed and demoted."
Assessor Li sighed: "A wanderer is homesick, so there is nothing I can do." Seeing Mr. Li's tasteless behavior, Zuo Langzhong thought to himself that he was trying to hide his reputation? That's right. If Mr. Li, who was attracting attention at this time, was discovered,
When you go to a remote state capital, you are not deposed but almost like being demoted. It is too flamboyant, and you are afraid of being criticized for seeking fame and reputation and slandering the Holy Mother. These days, there is always no shortage of words.
After thinking carefully for a few more times, Mr. Zuo once again made a suggestion: "Now that South Zhili is divided into rivers, there is no need to avoid the south and north of the Yangtze River. If you can't go to the south of the Yangtze River, you can still go to the north of the Yangtze River. It is very convenient to go down the canal to Suzhou.
.”
This is a professional. Li Gui hurriedly asked: "Is there ever a shortage in Jiangbei?"
Zuo Langzhong was a bit puzzled: "There is only one magistrate of Jiangdu County. But you can add a prefectural magistrate, and it will still be the sixth grade."
Mr. Li made a calculation in his mind - although he was only the magistrate of Wu County, Shike felt aggrieved, but he was still a Zhengyintang official, and his rank was not lowered, so he could act as the acting magistrate of the sixth-grade government.
The name Jiangdu County may not be very eye-catching, but its other name is Yangzhou City, where people with a fortune of one hundred thousand yuan rode a crane down to Yangzhou! Jiangdu County is the capital of Yangzhou Prefecture, one of the most prosperous cities in the world.
Yangzhou City is only about 300 miles away from Suzhou by canal waterway, and the customs and customs are very similar. Yangzhou, a rising star in this dynasty that thrived on salt, is also famous for imitating Suzhou trends. It is definitely easy to adapt to it!
After thinking about it, Li was probably looking forward to it. He really didn't expect such a perfect place to be left for him. He was very satisfied in every aspect.
Mr. Li was very excited here, but Mr. Zuo showed a bit of worry.
Jiangdu County is the capital of the country and the core of the salt and water industry of the country. Affairs are complicated and difficult to manage. Officially, the Salt Transportation Department, Prefecture, and County are in the same city, and it is only two miles away from Nanjing.
Hundreds of miles of waterway. In addition, I heard that the governor of Fengyang, who was in charge of the four prefectures and three states in Jiangbei, also wanted to move from Huai'an to Yangzhou. The combination of various factors made the relationship very complicated.
Therefore, the magistrate of Jiangdu County has always been a hot potato. Seasoned and skilled officials are usually chosen to serve, and many officials are even unwilling to go to Jiangdu County. Is it possible for Li, a young man with a bit of extravagance, to do it?
Let's not talk about it, but let's say that in the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a group of officials who were waiting to be elected suddenly saw the young man who broke into the back hall of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and came out. It took only a stick of incense to come out.
Taking a closer look, I found that there was actually a new ultimatum in Hua's hand...,
An old official he knew asked, "Where did Mr. Li choose?" Li Gu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Jiangdu County!" Suddenly, a surge of injustice filled the lobby of the official department. Isn't it true that every month after everyone logged in?
First choice? Why did he get the official position with all the procedures in just one stick of incense? Or is it a prosperous place like Yangzhou City, which is simply a shady scene in broad daylight?
In fact, no matter how capable Mr. Li himself was, he could not change his left hand to his right hand. He took the new edict on the spot. According to the system, the Ministry of Personnel had to report it to the Cabinet before it could take effect. However, the Queen Mother sent an order to the Ministry of Personnel and told Li Gui to get out within three days.
The capital, so we can use the prepared blank edicts for special cases. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the procedures within three days by following the normal procedures.
In the blink of an eye, night came, and many people heard the news and came to visit Master Li, but unfortunately they all came to no avail.
Li Gui, who had disappeared without a trace, sneaked into the Prince Consort's Mansion alone, and was naturally summoned by Princess Guide.
The two faced each other, and there was actually a little bit of separation and separation in the small room tonight. The couple's hearts were like rifts, their relationship was simple and rough, and they were constantly fighting each other.
Even the candlelight tonight is not as bright as in the past, it is a bit dim, and it flickers on and off.
"I want to thank you this time." The eldest princess took the lead and gently brushed away the unhealthy redundant emotions and returned to normalcy.
It's really rare to hear you say thank you, Li Gu thought. "Your Highness said something serious, I am just trying to protect myself." Guide Qiansui said, "No, that's not what I was referring to."
Li Gu was slightly surprised. Didn't it mean that he was the first to discuss the emperor's wedding?
"You also know that I am in charge of the salt industry, and I will have to go to Yangzhou sooner or later. You probably lowered your status because of me, and left Jiangdu County as a state official, which is a difficult place. I understand this.
.”
This... is really a misunderstanding. Li Gu wanted to speak, but then shut up. Now that the matter has come to this, let her continue to misunderstand. Don't let the favor go to waste.
"The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows. Why don't you compose a poem?"
Li Gui shook his head and said: "But it can't be turned into a poem."
Guide Qiansui lowered his head for a moment and said something in a low voice. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to Li Gu. "I will raise you, don't worry about it!" Mr. Li's ears are quite sensitive.
As good as his tongue. Although he clearly heard what the eldest princess said, he still leaned forward suddenly and asked: "What did you say?" "Forget it if you didn't hear it." My son? You raise him? Li Gui's heart
Repeated several times in a row, if you still don't understand the meaning, he is not the romantic and clever Li Tanhuā, but a very good guy. No wonder His Highness Chitose looks a little sentimental today unlike usual.
It’s really hard to laugh, why is it like this again?
When he was in Suzhou, Guan Xiuxiu was pregnant, but he left his hometown and came to the capital. The baby was probably born around the first month of the year, but thousands of miles away, he could only wait for news from his hometown in vain.
Now that he was about to leave the capital and go to the south, another person appeared in front of him. But this one probably would not be recognized for the rest of his life. Would he be able to get Lin's consort with the surname Lin in vain in the future? Li Gu thought a little tangled.
"I will do everything possible to make his surname Zhu..." Guide Chitose said firmly.
Li Gui feels that it is necessary to have a heart-to-heart talk with His Highness Chitose now about the future.
