Chapter 84: Newcomers Meet New Officials
(Please collect and recommend)
The head of the Jinyiwei Nanfu Department is named Zhu Heng. His favorite story is how his grandfather lost his royal family membership due to a little negligence, so that he could only rely on his own efforts to gain fame.
The audience is usually subordinate to Nansi, so naturally they can only agree and express their beliefs and expectations in various ways, thinking that it will take long before Lord Zhu will be able to return to the imperial family and be named Duke and Marquis is no problem.
For this "next time", Zhu Heng waited for twenty years, and finally a young man was waiting for.
The young man is named Liang Xiu, who is in his twenties. He has a bit of a delicate appearance and a slender waist. Whether he is standing or sitting, his body is always a little crooked, not like a warrior at all, but he is going to replace Zhu Heng as the Nansi Funeral.
Even though he was mixed with feelings, Zhu Heng still had to greet him with a smile and hold the etiquette of his subordinates. From today on, he has been an ordinary citizen. He has served in the Jinyiwei for decades, but ended up like this. He was not convinced and before he even left the yamen, he had already had a premonition that he would live in endless regret and depression for the rest of his life.
"It's hard to control Nansi." Zhu Heng couldn't help but want to give the newcomer a warning, and at the same time he wanted to sit on this chair of his own for a while. "In the past few years, Nansi has not made outstanding contributions, but has never made any mistakes. Looking at the entire Jinyiwei, the only one who can do this is Nansi."
Liang Xiu stood in front of the table, feeling a little impatient, and said with a smile: "Yes, nothing is the situation of Nansi over the years. I was ordered to take charge of Nansi in order to change the status quo and regain the vitality of Nansi. As the palace said, 'I am not afraid of doing wrong things, but I am afraid of not doing things.'"
Zhu Heng was very embarrassed and stood up slowly. Under his butt was the chair he was warming up. Even if he wanted to let it go, he had to wait for it to cool a little. "Nan Si really needs a young man like Lord Liang. I am old and useless. I believe that under Lord Liang's control, Nan Si will definitely make great achievements."
Liang Xiu came forward in person and helped the old sect and surround the table. "Don't be surprised by the old man. Young people are reckless. I just can't speak. Actually, I also know that it is very difficult to take charge of Nansi. The old man can't just let go. When something happens in the future, I have to go to the mansion to ask for advice."
"I dare not, I dare not, I am a foolish person, so I can only choose my uncle Liang."
The two became more and more polite. Liang Xiu personally sent it to the gate of the Jinyiwei. Seeing his ex-girlfriend go away, he snorted, "Old guy."
On the first day of the new official's tenure, Liang Xiu had not yet decided which fire to call, so he did not attract all his subordinates. Instead, he entered the court and worked on the chair that Zhu Heng had just given out, handling daily documents, and reading them very carefully.
The clerk stood respectfully, thinking that he would never cause trouble, without asking questions, without saying a word, and even breathing was carefully controlled.
Liang Xiu slowly frowned, "Nan Si spends countless silver every year, what he does is repair houses and armor?"
"Sir Hui, the Nansi is in charge of the Jinyiwei Army, repair..."
"I know what Nansi does." Liang Xiu said coldly, "But I'm not here for this. What about Nansi's other responsibility? Why can't I see a word in the official document?"
The clerk replied carefully: "Sir, are you talking about seeking immortals and visiting Taoism? Although Nansi is responsible for this, there are too few clues and have not done business for several times a year, so..."
"Hey, this is how Nansi's 'no merits and no mistakes' come from?" Liang Xiu picked up a document, "Is this new captain named Hu Guiyang here?"
"Sir, Hu Guiyang should have taken office today, but for some reason he has not arrived yet."
"Be proud of your merits. When he comes, let him wait a little longer."
"Yes, sir."
Liang Xiu lowered his head and continued to read the official documents. The clerk breathed a little relieved. The fire of the new official hit the new lieutenant was a good thing for the entire Nanshi.
Hu Guiyang rushed to the Jinyiwei in the afternoon, and the minor officials who took him to the Nansi were quite curious about him and took a few more glances.
Hu Guiyang was not surprised. Last time he came to the Jinyiwei, he was a great hero who captured the demon fox. Suddenly, his brothers died one after another, and he lost his identity as a "Testing Hundred Houses" and became an ordinary school captain. Outsiders inevitably had many speculations, but it was related to the secrets in the palace, and no one dared to ask more questions.
The new lieutenant must pay a visit to our tutor to be considered to be truly in office. Hu Guiyang was left in the gatehouse for more than an hour, and there were many people coming in and out. Who could not tell when the tutor would be available?
"I'm still here too early." Hu Guiyang said to himself when there was no one, recalling the situation of Nansi introduced by Yuan Mao.
Although his adoptive father Zhao Ying has been in Nanshi for more than ten years, he has been away from it and is only controlled by his immediate superior Yuan Bin. He doesn't know much about the situation of our company and never mentions it to his adopted sons.
In the past few years, Yuan Mao spent almost every day in the Jinyiwei yamen, and he had a better understanding of Nansi.
"The Nansi governor Zhu Heng was an old stubborn person who was obsessed with seeking immortals and visiting Taoism. He was highly appreciated by the late emperor in his early years, but none of the people he was looking for worked. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has become much more honest. He did nothing except sending people to visit famous mountains and temples every year. Moreover, this person regards Nansi files as the treasure and refuses to show them to others. Your adoptive father has been hardworking for so many years and can only see a small part. As a handsome man in the imperial clothes, he cannot read them all."
"The twelve families under the Nansi, including Zi Chou Yin Mao, have died in recent years and are very short of people. However, each house has a strong backer and cannot be poured into the outsiders. It depends on how you can pass Zhu Heng's level and get the three of us in."
Hu Guiyang had no special way, so he could only use the speculation of his background and argue with reason. If it really doesn't work, he would have to achieve his goal even if he cheated.
"Hu Guiyang, you can go to see the Lord of the Summit." A minor official came in and said coldly, not seeming to take his "mysterious" background too seriously.
Hu Gui stood up and prepared five sets of rhetoric in his mind, each set of which could deal with different situations.
There was only one situation he did not expect that Nansi Zhenfu was actually a young man, not the "old stubborn" that Yuan Mao had introduced before.
After the minor official introduced it, he immediately withdrew. The tutor was at his desk and wrote quickly. He didn't even raise his head except for a "Yeah".
Hu Guiyang was stunned and looked around blankly.
Nansi is located in a corner of the Jinyiwei Yamen. It covers a small area. The court is just an ordinary house. The most common decorations are a large number of statues and objects, Buddhas, Taos, witches and ghosts, and other gods and demons living in harmony. It is both warm and weird.
The Lord of the Summit still did not look up, Hu Guiyang said, "Congratulations, Lord of the Congratulations, Nansi has made such a great achievement, and the Lord of the Promotion is just around the corner."
Liang Xiu could not pretend to be inaudible and put down his pen, "Why is Nansi happy about it?"
"Nan Si searched for immortality and visited the Tao in order to find the art of immortality. Look at the appearance of the adults who are only in their thirties, they must have been reborn. Isn't this a wonderful skill? It can be said that it has never been seen before."
Liang Xiu is twenty-five years old this year, not much older than Hu Guiyang. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but a smile appeared on his face, "Someone has reminded me that you are smart and well-known. The former governor Zhu resigned today, and this officer is the new governor Liang Xiu."
Hu Guiyang bowed and smiled, "Then my congratulations are nothing wrong. The promotion of a new official is even more a happy event for Nansi."
Liang Xiu leaned over and stared at Hu Guiyang for a while, "You are a newcomer."
"I'm a newcomer."
"I'm the new official."
"The lord is the new official."
"Since that's the case, we should be open and honest, support each other, and work hard to eliminate the old attitude of Nansi, not seeking to make achievements, but seeking to be worthy of the great emperor's grace and the country's salary."
"That's great, sir, it's almost in my heart." Hu Guiyang stepped forward, "What do sir, sir, need me to do?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Liang Xiu lowered his head.
"Then let's talk about it when the adults think of it."
"Yes." Liang Xiu showed the intention of expelling guests.
Hu Guiyang was not the kind of person who acted according to the opportunity, so he took another step forward, "I have thought of it, please support me once."
Liang Xiu looked up again and looked at the new captain coldly. Although he was young, he had been struggling in the officialdom and had never met such a shameless person.
Hu Guiyang didn't care at all and said with a smile: "I know three strange people, each of whom is a skilled person. I hope to bring them to the Jinyiwei and follow me to investigate the case."
Liang Xiu frowned slightly, "Investigate the case? What case should be investigated?"
"The Fox Case."
"The demon fox case has been completed. Even if you follow up the investigation, you will not be able to use it. The Beishi will be responsible for it." Liang Xiu lowered his head and continued to process the official documents. After a while, he did not hear footsteps. He raised his head and found that Hu Guiyang was closer to him. He was looking at him with interest, "You can step down." Liang Xiu emphasized.
"It seems that the backer of sir is not Wang Zhi."
Liang Xiu was furious, "My backer... A little school captain dares to ask for "backer" in front of me?"
"I guess casually. If you can come to Nansi, your backer must be the powerful official in the palace. It's not like Wang Zhi, is it Wang Zhi's opponent? But these eunuchs should..."
Liang Xiu slapped the table and said, "Hu Guiyang, find out your identity first. This is not the Zhao family compound, and no one will indulge you in trouble!"
Hu Guiyang spread his hands and smiled, "Look, this is what the adults call 'open and honest'. Since they hate each other, it might as well make it clear that it will improve in the future."
Liang Xiu's eyebrows raised, but his body became more tilted. "You deserve to 'disgust' me? Hu Guiyang, don't think that you can reach the sky one day after you have made contributions. You are now a small captain in the Nansi and are all under my control."
Having said this, Liang Xiu put away his anger, sat down again, picked up his pen, and smiled and said, "The 12th Room of Nansi, Guifang is just short of people, so you can go there to do business. Since you have a backer, I would like to recommend a few people to join the Jinyiwei small matter, so naturally I don't need my consent."
"Thank you, sir." Hu Guiyang had a strange temper and a good temper, and he happily left.
A minor official outside the door took Hu Guiyang to Guifang.
This place looks like a "ghost house". A small house covered with dust. It seems that it hasn't been in for decades, with tables, chairs, benches and tills.
"What is Guifang's responsibilities?" Hu Guiyang asked.
"Responsibility? Uh...clean the house." The little official said inconfirm.
Hu Guiyang curled his lips and nodded, "Then start by sweeping the floor and sweep it from the inside to the outside."
