Chapter 912 Chen Shaobao went to Liang secretly, and the new heavenly man emerged
Someone once said that the current busy post road of the Liyang Dynasty was spread out with the iron hoof of a lame man.
A huge convoy settled in the Xiaoranpo Inn in Youzhou. The inn is not big, but it is cleaner than the Zhongyuan Inn. In fact, the convoy traveled westward. After entering Youzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Beiliang Road from Jizhou and Hezhou, he found that there were many post houses along the way, and there were often feathered edicts and post cavalry galloping by.
The convoy made a joke before. I heard too much that the Northern Liang border army is rich in abundance of arrogant soldiers and the cavalry is the best among them. The big figures in the convoy have more or less heard of some border soldiers. It seems that there are cruel rules for the post cavalry to hit people on the road to the deceased. Therefore, when the vanguard cavalry has more than 60 people, and when the vanguard cavalry enters Youzhou, they meet a Northern Liang post cavalry who is riding a horse from north to south for the first time. If they find that the post cavalry appeared at the fork intersection, they will continue to run south, and it is very likely that the entire cavalry will be cut off in half, the vanguard cavalry will be a little panicked. You should know that the three or four carriages in the center were all sitting on the palace nobles with red pythons and white jade. What should I do if there was a conflict with the Beiliang cavalry?
The elite entourages from the capital of the sixty cavalry were suddenly panicked. Although officials from all over the country wanted to worship them as ancestors when they traveled west to Northern Liang this time, facing a few Beiliang post cavalry, the vanguard cavalry turned their horses to stop the convoy behind without saying a word. They would rather congested together than let the post cavalry open. The cavalry, who had already been ready to stop the horse, obviously did not understand what this huge convoy was thinking. When he continued along the north-south post road, he couldn’t help but turn his head and take a few more glances at the fork, with strange eyes, probably because he felt that those out-of-towners who looked quite military and prudent were too polite. Afterwards, a captain from the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War explained that the entire convoy learned that the feathered edict behind the post cavalry showed that this person was just an ordinary post cavalry in Youzhou, and the intelligence he conveyed was only the most common type.
However, the vanguard Huqiu Duwei, who was self-decided, was not scolded. An old eunuch wearing a big red python robe, expressed the voice of everyone in the convoy: “In Beiliang, we should be careful to sail a ten thousand-year-old ship.”
Now most of the soldiers in Liyang understand a truth: there are three types of soldiers in the world: weak brigades and strong troops, and the last type is called Beiliang Iron Cavalry.
Last time, the King of Xinliang only led less than a thousand cavalry to break into the capital, but it turned out to be in a state of no one. This storm that caused Tai’an City to lose all its face, directly led to a general of the royal family being held accountable and resigned from his post by the clan’s mansion. The Ministry of War did not intervene, but no one in the capital city knew that the government officials who held the military power in the world had no good face to the generals from the Jingji Group in the past six months. Every time they came to do business, it was almost like owing tens of thousands of taels of silver and not paying it back.
Then at the end of the battle on Guangling Road, the Dragon Cavalry broke out in a heavy snow.However, he came out of the pass, Xu Gong, the Minister of War, who returned from the Liao Dynasty, personally led the elite troops from the capital to intercept it. There were also cavalry troops from Jizhou and Qingzhou, and there were also local garrisons who tried their best to serve their lives. They were different and were disgusted. Now there are rumors in Tai’an City that the reason why Lu Sheng, who had experienced the Guangling war, jumped over the dragon gate like a carp, rather than Xu Gong, who made contributions to the border affairs of the Liao Dynasty, stood out because of the heavy thunder and little rain, made His Majesty the Emperor too disappointed with this Confucian general who was born in Jiangnan.
The Xiaoranpo Inn was neither cold nor warm in his attitude towards these emperor envoys who were visiting him, neither being diligent and flattering, nor being cold-eyed. The eunuch in charge of seals is not surprising to this and does not pick on such matters. First of all, eunuchs from Liyang rarely went out of Beijing to move around. At most, they had some secret contacts with the weaving bureaus in the Central Plains and local government-owned salt and iron, and would not openly appear in the sight of the officialdom outside the Beijing. Second, after the old emperor of Liyang took over the eunuchs from the world and the country were destroyed, these eunuchs were grateful to the Zhao family. Whether it was the old man who had experienced the war in the Spring and Autumn Period or the younger eunuchs they brought out, there had never been any rumors of disaster in the inner court in 20 years, and the eunuchs interfering in politics had disappeared. As strong as the previous generation of the Sili Supervisor, Han Shengxuan, was the master of the seal, and was only known as one of the three major devils in the Spring and Autumn Period in the world. He was loyal to the world’s leader, and he had no doubts about the Zhaoshi in Liyang. Later, Song Tanglu, who was young, took over the Sili Supervisor, and was well-known among all civil and military officials.
The Xiaoranpo Inn is not enough to accommodate a total of more than a thousand people, including the eunuchs of Xuanzhi, the imperial guards in the imperial palace and the Jingji cavalry. If there are other places, all prefectures, counties and government offices have been properly placed, and they promised not to disturb the people. As for whether they really did not disturb the people, the eunuchs in the python service in the Seal and Ribbon Prison naturally turned a blind eye. After arriving at the jurisdiction of Youzhou, there were many but not large post offices, and it was common for most of the orders to sleep in the open. However, the Yinshoujian took the initiative to discuss with Youzhou Post Office to avoid disturbing the rest and recuperation of the people of Northern Liang. Moreover, the convoy purchased additional items along the way and would never speak to Youzhou.
After three eunuchs in the big red python costume entered the inn, they gathered in the hall to discuss matters as usual, but did not rush to speak. Instead, they drank a pot of tea prepared by the servants by Xiaoranpo Post Office Chief, and patiently waited for news from a confidant eunuch. Soon the young eunuch respectfully led a young scholar-like figure and quickly walked into the hall. The young eunuch with his eyebrows down and his eyes left the hall, closed the door, and waited outside the door. When he saw the young man wearing a literati blue shirt, the three seal guru immediately stood up to greet him, lowered his voice and smiled slightly, “I have seen Mr. Chen!”
The saying “Mr. Chen” was originally a kind of respectful rhetoric from Lao Liyang, which was specially used to respect the military boss or the ministers who held authority. Once the people who received this title were full of plans, there were probably only seven or eight people. However, at that time, the Eastern Yue and Southern Tang dynasties, which were in harmony with Liyang, still had national strength and had a saying of their husbands, but it was extremely indecent. It means that those handsome men and actors had delicate voices and were not inferior to those of Yingying and Yanyan.. Jiangnan has the style of raising children and acting, and is known as the romantic scholar of famous people. There is also a little bit of ridicule of Li Yang. During the Yonghui period after Liyang annexed the Central Plains, the saying of the husband in Tai’an City gradually disappeared. After the Xiangfu Year, it rose again, especially in the inner court, and was highly praised by the eunuchs in the palace. When they met some Liyang nobles who were able to walk in the important places of the palace, they all liked to respectfully call them Xianggong. This time, of course, no one dared to confuse the two grandfathers of Jiangbei and Jiangnan. In the eyes of eunuchs with extraordinary vision, even one of the six ministers could not receive this honor among the civil officials. Only the Secretary of the Secretariat Qi Yanglong, the Secretary of the Secretariat Zhao Youling, the Left Master of Menxia Shengshang Huan Wen, and the Left Master of the Left Master of the Left Master Chen Wang, the Left Master of the Left Master Chen Wang, the Left Master of the Left Master Chen Wang. There are only four people who can make them call him “Host Master” with their surnames.
The identity of the person in front of him was revealed.
Chen Shaobao and Chen Wang are the next best candidate for the Liyang Prime Minister.
The eunuch in charge of the seal is a kind-hearted and thin old man. If he replaced the eye-catching big red python robe with Taoist robe, he might be a fairy-like and Taoist robe. He sat down after Chen Wang sat down, without hiding his worries in his expression. His voice was sharp but not harsh. He slowly said, “Mr. Chen really wants to go north of Youzhou and lose Mr. Chen as our backbone. Our heart is so shaking.”
Chen Wang, who was a private visit to the capital, only a handful of people in the capital were qualified to know this time, and he could count it with one hand. He smiled and said, “Eunuch Liu, don’t worry, this time I send an imperial edict to Qingliang Mountain, there will be no mistakes.”
If someone else was so perfunctory, no matter how good the eunuch was in charge of the seal and the eunuch, he would secretly feel angry. But since Chen Shaobao said this, the old eunuch would be a little relieved.
The public practice in the officialdom is originally a smart person who can become a superior official, so they often speak and do things with mystery. Both parties can’t help but think deeply about it. They wish they could break it into eight petals in one sentence, which is called “the realization is not enough.” Especially the old Minister of Personnel Zhao Youling and Yonghui Chuxiang Yin Maochun chatted with them, the extremely smart temple pillars. Who would dare to take it lightly, afraid that the casual words “The weather is good today” when they retired from the court can make the officials in their ears chew for a long time, catch the wind and shadow, and think carefully, how tired it is. Of course, this kind of fatigue still makes many officials enjoy it. But there are still a few people in a temple in Liyang. Even in the Tai’an City “Zhao Family Gun” where all the talents in the world are in the trap, some people still stand out. For example, the old chief assistant Zhang Julu, Tantan Weng Huanwen, and now there is finally another Chen Wang in the Xiangfu era. When talking to these three people, no matter the size of their official hats or their official titles, they don’t have to work hard to deal with them. In short, it is a worry-free thing. The reason is very simple. If you can’t flatter these true scholars and ministers by their words, you will not be punished for their words. The three of them may not be official saints without desires, but even if they have something to ask for, probably not everyone can understand what the so-called gains and losses they are in that realm will be
In the past few years, the Tai’an City officialdom has been highly praised by Jin Lanting, who has risen to the top, but what is the truth? Perhaps Tantanweng’s slap in his early years has long revealed the secret.
A mountain is higher than another mountain, and smart people will always meet smarter people. It is easy to be an official by relying solely on intelligence, but it is not easy to be a senior official. It is extremely difficult to be a Shangshu who truly holds power, and it is even more difficult to be the chief minister who leads the world’s ministers.
Now the officialdom in Beijing is convinced, and it is not an exaggeration to look up to Chen Shaobao no matter how high he is.
Compared to Zhang Julu, who once made Tai’an City tremble, Chen Wang’s disadvantage is that his reputation is almost nothing, and he is both a mentor and a father-in-law. After all, Chen Wang was born in a cold family. Although his father-in-law is also a royal relative, he actually helped him very little. The advantage is that Chen Wang is a well-deserved minister of the emperor and a confidant who is supported by the current emperor. The most important thing is that whether Chen Wang was helping Yin Maochun to preside over the Beijing-based local reviews, or serving as the “imperial teacher” in the diligent room, or finally being promoted to the Secretariat, his behavior and character were all in the eyes of the entire Tai’an City. Compared to the old manager Zhang Julu who showed his sharpness after making a big splash, Chen Wang always gives people the impression that he is gentle and not an aggressive character in his bones. This is tantamount to great good news for civil officials in the temple. Because this means that once Chen Wang becomes the top leader of the Shangshu Province in the future, the entire Liyang officialdom will usher in a relatively stable period of peace. Even if there are still various official conflicts, there will only be promotions and demotions, regardless of life or death. There will not even be a miserable scene where the career of one’s life is forbidden due to hatred by one person.
It’s strange that almost everyone in the Liyang officialdom now does not understand what Chen Wang wants to become an official, who is rising step by step. Chen Wang has never said it personally, and he has never expressed such emotions.
This time Chen Wang appeared in the convoy, and the eunuch Liu, the eunuch in charge of the seal, was shocked when he saw the Zuo Sanqi Changshi himself. As for why Chen Shaobao secretly joined the convoy, Eunuch Liu and his men were secretive and dared not even speculate. So at this moment, Chen Wang asked him to leave the convoy immediately and go north separately. The three eunuchs in python sermon looked at each other.
Chen Wang’s expression showed a trance. After quickly retracting his thoughts, he chuckled softly: “The three father-in-laws may have forgotten that my hometown is in Youzhou, Beiliang.”
Returning home in glory
