Chapter 308 Everything is difficult
(The business trip is extended, and you can only update it by hand on your phone. There may be many typos. If you get home, correct it. The words on your phone are too small)
Wang County Cheng, who moved into the East Flower Hall, had a comfortable Mid-Autumn Festival. The gifts sent by the county clerks and yamen runners almost filled half of the house, mostly with local specialties. His concubine Axia complained that the food in this room could be eaten, and it would be a pity to throw it away if it was broken.
Wang Xingren smiled and scolded, "Woman is short-sighted. Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat. If you can't eat them, you can take them out for sale. Besides, this is the beginning, and there will be a long time for the future."
He ordered the servant to find the store with gifts and get the money at the sale price. The shop owner dared not offend the newly appointed county magistrate, so he had to buy it back with a wry smile, and cursed behind his back, "I want money, I'm shameless."
There is no harm in this without comparison. Except for a few people who applauded what Wang County Magistrate did after taking office, most people remembered the good things of Jiang County Magistrate. The Jiang County Magistrate who was suspended from office lived a comfortable and comfortable life. He brought stones and a few servants to eat breakfast early in the morning, and received some compliments from the people. Then he rode a horse and took a bow out of the city to hunt. At noon, he would beat the tip of the village shop until the sun set, and the group returned with a full load.
Wang Xingren was so busy that the summer grain was put into warehousing and was punished by the people. Jiang Anyi was suspended and not removed from office. The order he issued was still valid in a legal sense. Wang Xingren ordered the yamen runners to shackle a few people who took the lead in causing trouble, which aroused public anger. Hundreds of people surrounded the yamen. Qin Zixiong refused to obey the orders and asked the yamen runners not to beat people. Wang Xingren had no choice but to release the people.
It was so annoying to think about it. County Magistrate Yan bullied the people like that, and the people could swallow their anger. He had just restored some old examples. Why did the people remain unyielding? Wang Xingren thought of Yan Kaichen's dry walnut face, stood up and looked in the mirror. A scholar's brain with white and black beard in the mirror was very handsome no matter how he looked. Could it be because he was kind-faced?
Since moving into the East Flower Hall, Wang Xingren has not been to the chief clerk's yard. In subconsciously, the two of them were not obvious, but now they live in the East Flower Hall, and they are looking down at the chief clerk Liu invisibly. Wang Xingren thought that Liu Jiusi should come to him and give him some gifts and take care of him.
As a result, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Zhuanzhu came to the door as expected. Thinking about the unhappiness during this period, Qin Zixiong did not cooperate. If Liu Jiusi was slandering, then his life in Fuluo County would be sad. He asked his concubine to choose four things that were about to deteriorate from the gift. Wang Xingren walked into the chief ward with him. As soon as he entered the ward, he heard the melodious sound of the piano.
"Brother Liu, I'm so comfortable!" Wang Xingren said this from the heart. He was so busy that he couldn't even take care of his intimacy with his concubine these days.
The sound of the piano slowly stopped. Liu Jiusi stood up and smiled and said, "How can Lord Wang be free to come to my lowly place?"
Wang Xingren heard the sarcasm in his words and said with a wry smile: "Brother Liu, you and I are always in love, why do you laugh at me? I've been so busy that I've hit the back of my head. I really don't have to chat with Brother Liu. Didn't I come here just when I have time?"
The relationship between the two was indeed good in the past, so Liu Jiusi no longer defeated him. He asked Wang Xingren to sit down and the servant gave Qingwu tea.
Liu Jiusi smiled and said, "Since Jiang Zhuangyuan wrote the poem about Qingwu Tea, the price of Qingwu Tea has increased now, and the tea tax has been charged hundreds of coins this year."
Wang Xingren sighed: "If you want to talk about poetry, you can't accept it. This poem of Qingwu Tea is indeed so fresh and elegant. After reading it, people think of drinking it. This Qingwu Tea is famous for Jiang Anyi, and it is also considered an elegant event for literati."
Liu Jiusi smiled and said, "Your brother is enjoying his fruits. It's too late to be happy. It's no problem to double the tax this year, and it's possible to triple it. After the share, the county can leave a lot of money, and finally have a good New Year this year."
Speaking of money, Wang Xingren's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips. The snake was big and the hole was big. The county had more money left, so he naturally had more benefits.
After taking a sip of tea, Wang Xingren remembered the purpose of this and said with a smile: "Brother Liu is resourceful, and I have always admired him. Recently, Wang has had a confusion, and I hope Brother Liu can solve his doubts for me."
Liu Jiusi filled Wang Xingren with tea and said, "Brother Wang has praised me, I'm afraid I can't solve the problem that you can't solve."
Wang Xingren decided not to go around the corner and told Liu Jiusi that Yan Kaichen was troubled by the people who were not doing anything, but he was opposed by the people. Liu Jiusi drank tea silently, and his hand was unconsciously twisted on the strings beside him.
The sound of the piano became longer and longer. Wang Xingren did not urge him, but looked at Liu Jiusi's study while drinking tea. On the bookshelf in the study, there were books piled on the table, on the walls, and on the small table in front of the window, there were pots of green plants. The whole study was very elegant.
In a trance, Wang Xingren was a little lost. He remembered his hard study when he was young and his ambition when he was an official. These were like those misty tea fog and soon disappeared.
Liu Jiusi's voice sounded in his ears, "Brother Wang, I have gained something, don't blame me if I say something wrong."
Wang Xingren quickly laughed and said, "I hope to hear the details."
"The wisdom of the people is related to the wisdom of the people." Liu Jiusi rolled his beard and said confidently: "When Yan County Magistrate was there, the people did not know the officials, and the orders issued by the people were inappropriate, but the common people did not know how to resist. After Jiang Anyi took office, he drove Xu Mingyuan away, punished the taint officials, and let them fill the gap. These things were told one by one that the government could not do whatever they wanted. Especially when Zhang Putian was killed, Su Changhe was hit to death, and a debate was held in front of the coffin, so that the people could know what is true good and evil, and invisibly the wisdom of the people was opened to distinguish right from wrong."
Wang Xingren couldn't help but nod when he thought of the granary he had paid for.
"After the people's wisdom is activated, it is impossible to go back to the past, so I feel it is difficult to do everything." Liu Jiusi looked at Wang Xingren and felt a little sympathetic to the acting county magistrate.
"It's all the damn Jiang Anyi who made trouble. He's very carefree. I have to ask someone to teach him a lesson." Wang Xingren cursed gritted his teeth.
Liu Jiusi sighed: "Brother Wang, after hearing my brother's advice, I will fight with Jiang Anyi. This person is very not simple. You see, he is a little panicked when he is suspended. If an ordinary person suffers this disaster, he will definitely rush to the prefecture to plead with him. You see, he is a little scared when he hunts and plays every day. If you say that someone teaches him a lesson, then Xu Mingyuan is extremely powerful and isn't he running away in panic."
A word awakened Wang Xingren. When he remembered Jiang Anyi's methods, Wang Xingren was a little sweating, and was glad that he did not act rashly. He was wondering where Jiang Anyi's confidence came from.
After Liu Jiusi got the answer, Wang Xingren sat down and said goodbye. The osmanthus in the back garden was fragrant. Wang Xingren walked around the garden with his hands behind his back, thinking about sending someone to the prefecture to ask for a true faith. It seemed that the summer grain was only allowed to be Jiang Anyi's method.
After following my brother's love and sister-in-law's wishes, the clerks and runners in the yamen are not easy to save money, so they have to find some ways to comfort them. Wang Xingren felt a headache, and he was doing this in Dai County today.
The official documents of Lizhou Prefecture's removal of Jiang Anyi's official position were sent to the Ministry of Personnel on August 27.
The promotion and dismissal of all officials was in charge of Shao Yuantu, the doctor of the examination. After reading the official documents handed over by the head, Shao Yuantu smiled and said, "This Zhuangsheng Jiang is really capable of trouble. He was demoted to Fuluo, Lizhou, and was sued. Others became bigger and bigger, but he was better off going back. According to Lizhou's official documents, he was demoted to Lizhou. Alas, the title of Erlangzi is really not for nothing."
When he saw that Doctor Shao was about to use a seal on the official document, the head of the side kindly reminded him: "Mr. Shao, Jiang Anyi has been quite loyal to the holy family. Have you asked Lord Shangshu before you talk?"
Shao Yuantu glared and shouted: "It is the responsibility of the appointment and removal of officials under the sixth rank. Should I make an exception for Jiang Anyi? Besides, the appointment and removal of such small officials have always been just reported to the Shangshu, and act according to the routine."
After saying that, he stamped the official document and approved the reply and agreed to demote Jiang Anyi. As for how to punish him, the Ministry of Justice also received official documents from Lizhou.
Although Chen Xiaoming, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, lacked feelings for Jiang Anyi, he did not promptly give instructions, asking the minor officials to pay attention to the notice if Lord Shangshu came back from Zichen Hall and informed him.
When the Secretary of State returned to the government office, Chen Langzhong immediately brought the official documents to ask for instructions. The Secretary of State of State for a while was pondering, he knew a little about the purpose of Dianjiang Anyi going to Fuluo County, Lizhou. He even heard from the Secretary of State that the emperor intended to govern the clerks, and Fuluo County was the pilot site for Qingdian. All signs indicate that the loyalty of Jiang Anyi was not reduced, and even heavier.
However, the Secretary of the House of Revelation did not want to miss this opportunity. It would be difficult for Jiang Anyi to make things difficult for him. Why not do it? However, the reason for this kind of trouble cannot be done by himself. The best way to kill someone with a knife is to use it.
After thinking for a while, the Secretary x had an idea and said, "It is not entirely the responsibility of our Ministry of Justice to hear the official's breach of law. Moreover, Jiang Anyi was reported by someone, so the matter should be transferred to the Tongpu Department."
Langzhong Chen received the order to send the official documents to Tongpusi. When Langzhong left, the eyes of Shangshu x's secretary became cold, and the personnel of Tongpusi changed. Duan Cizong was appointed as the governor of X Prefecture and his leave was repelled by Wang Ke.
Wang Kefu was scolded by the emperor and took away his position as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. He was so sad that he was closed at home for a while and hated Jiang Anyi. The more the news of Jiang Anyi rose, the stronger Wang Kefu's loss and jealousy became, like a poisonous insect biting his heart. He fell seriously ill at the end of last year.
His wife, Wang Liu, came to the office and asked to see Queen Wang, and cried with tears. Of course, Wang Kefu had to be ashamed of the emperor and regretted it was sick. He asked the empress to plead with the emperor and let Wang Ke restore his post, otherwise he would be sad to death.
Family affection is connected to heart, Queen Wang finds opportunities to ask for soft words and asks each other again and again. The emperor is also a human being, not to mention that the couple has a deep affection. Finally, on the night of the Lantern Festival, An Shouduo persuaded her for a few drinks, but she didn't even keep the door in the drunken mouth and agreed.
The next day, when the queen woke up, he mentioned that Shi Fangzhen didn't like Wang Kefu from the bottom of her heart, and refused to agree, so she was blocked by the emperor without any jokes. The position of the Minister of Rites was pushed, and Shi Fangzhen made a vacancy, and happened to be Duan Cizong to be in the outside office, so Shi Fangzhen simply sent Wang Kefu to Tongpusi to stay at Zuoshi (I don't remember Duan is left or right).
When the official document was in Wang Kefu's hands, Jiang Anyi's fate was imagined.
