Chapter 923: Honest Fear


During the Yongle period, there was a proverb in the officialdom, and he did not cultivate in his previous life, and he was an official Qilu. otbnkotgt Later, Zhu Di had no choice but to lead his troops to bypass Shandong and go straight to Jinling, in fact, he gave up the back road and fought for his life, as long as the provinces along the way tried their best to block it, or Nanjing did not have so many traitors and could thwart the Yan army, Zhu Di was basically defeated.

However, whether it is said that the destiny of heaven is returned, or whether it is Jianwen Taicai, Zhu Di's seemingly hopeless move took a chance and took the capital Jinling As soon as the capital fell, Emperor Jianwen disappeared in the palace fire, and Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair in this way, and became the Shandong soldiers and civilians who were loyal to the imperial court and bravely resisted the enemy before the Ming Emperor.

The army besieged Jinan, Tie Xuan refused to surrender, but in the end, because he was outnumbered, the city fell and was captured, and Jinan was also slaughtered Tie Xuan was escorted to Jingshi, when he saw Zhu Di, he scolded endlessly, and Zhu Di, who was angry and did not kneel, asked him to cut off his ears and nose, and stuffed them into his mouth after cooking, and asked him how it tasted After venting his anger in his chest, Zhu Di's hatred for Shandong has not diminished, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are far better than those of other provinces, dredging canals and building Beijing, all of which fall on the strong men in Shandong, hundreds of thousands of strong men go out every year, and it would be good to be able to come back half of them, so it is not difficult to understand that the hatred of the Shandong fathers and elders for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor far exceeds that of any province In such a harsh environment, it is conceivable how sad it should be to be an official.

The annual tax and grain will certainly not be collected in full, bandits are rampant in the territory, and civil unrest is frequent, and the annual performance appraisal must be lost to Sun Shan, not to mention promotion, even if you can survive peacefully and move to other places, you have to burn high incense, as for the dismissal of officials, it is really commonplace, and it is not uncommon to die in crime.

It is because the officials regard going to Shandong as an official as a daunting path, and those who have a little way have avoided it, and the rest are those who have no backing, who have been convicted and degraded, or who have offended Shangguan and have been rectified, in short, they are a group of poor worms who have no hope.

These Shandong officials were already in danger, and after the fire in the three major halls, the imperial court designated the culprit as the Shandong White Lotus Sect, and the Shandong officials were even more panicked.

The three military and political officials in Shandong, Chu Yan, the political envoy, Liu Ben, the envoy of the procuratorate, and Ma Zhong, the commander of the Du Command, met all day long, and it was the responsibility of the envoys to investigate and handle the case of the White Lotus Sect in a coordinated manner.

However, the White Lotus taught the Tibetan soldiers to the people, and the political envoys were also duty-bound; If you want to deal with the White Lotus Sect all over the province, you can't do without an army, so you can't do without the commanders.

Fortunately, the yamen of the three divisions are in Jinan Mansion, and it is convenient for the three adults to meet, and they have discussed and discussed, and they have not yet discussed a charter, and there is a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the emperor actually sent Wang Xian as a messenger to come to Shandong to investigate the white lotus and arrest the Buddha's mother, which can scare the three adults enough, Wang Xian, who is also the number one murderer in the world who went to heaven and earth, killed gods and destroyed Buddhas over the years, there are too many legends about Wang Xian, true and false, some are not, the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty can say two paragraphs, in short, In short, this is an extremely difficult guy to deal with To what extent is it difficult to deal with anyone who is against him, whether it is the King of Han or Ji Gang or the nest in Shanxi, all of them have ended in a fiasco, and now Wang Xian, as the governor of Jinyi Wei, has countless Austrian aid from the DPRK and China, let alone those local officials who can compete with them "We can't afford to offend such a Chincha Lord" After gasping for a long time, the political envoy said the hearts of the three of them.

Liu Ben and Ma Zhong also nodded vigorously when they heard this, but for so many years, none of them had a good end in fighting with him, Ji Gang, who went out of Shandong, was robbed of his house and destroyed the Han King, and he was also stripped of his military power, and he was nested in Shandong "Fantai, you are the chief, you set the tone."

Although the three divisions are separated and do not belong to each other, there is no doubt that the political envoy in charge of civil affairs has the greatest power, and Liu Ben and Ma Zhong have said this.

"We must show the greatest enthusiasm, provide the best conditions, pay the highest respect, and make them feel at home and satisfied," Chu Yan groaned and gave his opinion.

"That's right" Ma Zhong is a martial artist, he spoke more directly, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words: "They all said that they don't stretch out their hands and don't hit the smiling person, let's all kneel down and lick his upper, he can't still step on our heads."

Chu Yan Liu Ben listened to what he said vulgarly, and frowned secretly, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not just a matter for a while, so Liu Ben asked directly: "Then what to do?"

"When will Uncle arrive?"

asked Chu Yan.

"It is reported that the date of departure from Beijing is February 2, and the capital is 800 miles away from Jinan Mansion," Ma Zhong pinched his fingers and calculated: "If you ride a horse, it should be half a month away."

After a pause, he said: "But maybe, it is said that this master once rushed from Nanjing to Beijing in three days." ” "That's to save the driver," Liu Bendao: "You don't have to rush so much when you come to Shandong to take office."

"If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens," Chu Yan thought about it for a while, and said: "Let's hurry up and arrange the stall in the provincial capital, and go to Dezhou in seven days to meet the Qincha Dajia" Dezhou belongs to Jinan Mansion, which is the provincial boundary between Shandong and Hebei, oh yes, Hebei has now been changed to Beizhili.

Liu Ben and Ma Zhong had no objection to going to the provincial border to greet Lord Qincha.

"This time, we all have to get busy" Chu Yan thought about it for a while, and specifically instructed: "From Jinan City to the border of Dezhou Province, the path that Fanqin Cha passes through must be paved with loess, and no garbage is allowed to be seen."

Also, it is the season of the spring famine, and the official road is full of people fleeing the spring famine called Huazi, so that all the prefectures and counties will be mobilized to lock up all these people, and you must not stain the eyes of Lord Qincha."

"Done."

Liu Ben nodded and took the errand.

"Outside the provincial capital, Lord Qincha is just passing by after all, so let people clean up their faces and make superficial articles.

The most important thing is Jinan City, our Jinan is a good place, lotus flowers on all sides, willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake, to take advantage of this advantage, so that the Lord Qincha can live well, eat well, play well, everything is fine. ” "It's so simple to eat, although Shandong is poor, for a Qin to eat and drink, there is still no problem Taishan Aunt is famous all over the world, let's pick some of the most beautiful service Qin Cha, keep him happy."

Ma Zhong said: "It's just that this Qin Messenger is the most important thing, where it should be located" When he said this, he glanced at Chu Yan.

There is a public case here, although Jinan Mansion is known as a city of mountains and half a city lake, but the real essence is Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, Pearl Spring line, Yuan Dynasty, these beautiful scenery are all owned by Zhang Rong, the Duke of Jinan at that time.

Wait until the national dynasty, the original Jinan palace became the official office of Shandong Province, and later Hongwu nine years, the province was withdrawn and changed to the political secretary, and three divisions were separated, and the judicial power and military power that were originally attributed to the governor of the province were assigned to the envoy and the commander of the envoy.

Since these two divisions are at the same level as the political secretary, they naturally have to move out of the original provincial office.

At this point, the political envoy monopolized the beautiful scenery of half of the city Every time Ma Zhong came to the Yamen, the political envoy with the beautiful scenery here, he would be angry for a while, and when he went back to see his small official office, he was even more angry, inexplicable.

In line with the principle that he can't live and can't make the other party happy, he deliberately said: "I am ready to vacate my yamen and give it to Lord Qincha." ” "It's better to free mine," In this matter, Liu Ben and Ma Zhong were on the same position, and immediately understood: "Anyway, I used to have a garden there, and the Black Tiger Spring is also famous, and Lord Qincha should like it." ” Listening to the two of you and me, Chu Yan felt a greasy feeling in his heart.

Since it comes to Teng Yamen, it is natural to give the best Teng to Qin Cha, otherwise when the time comes, Qin Cha will take a look at the palace and see that the political envoy Yamen is far superior to his own line, and these two sluts will add oil and vinegar again, and I don't know how to blame.

Thinking of this, although his flesh hurt for a while, he still gritted his teeth and said: "It's better to free mine, since you entertain Qincha, of course you have to use the best." ” "Fantai's words are very true," Ma Zhong said with great joy: "Sister Taishan, I'll look for you." ” "Give me the chef's meal."

Liu Ben also smiled.

"Okay."

Chu Yan trembled in distress, and nodded with a smile.

In the next few days, the three adults worked together to clean up the cityscape of Jinan City, painted all the houses facing the street, and pulled all the beggars and displaced people who were unsightly out of Jinan City, and even asked officials to pretend to be ordinary people and patrol the streets so that emergencies could be dealt with in time.

The three of them did their best to inquire about Wang Xian's relevant information, from his likes and dislikes, and even the entourage around him, as long as they could get information, they would study it all to be foolproof.

Chu Yan also vacated the yamen of the political envoy, and even removed all the plaques and replaced them with a newly made Qincha Xingyuan plaque.

All the gardens in the yamen have been cleaned up, and even the residences of the people around Wang Xian have all been replaced with new furnishings.

As for Wang Xian's residence, it is even more carefully designed, and every furnishing is not the best, only the most expensive On the eighth day of the second month of February, the three adults took their subordinate officials and went north to Dezhou, and came to the junction of Shandong and Zhili, looking forward to the great ride of Lord Qincha:
