Chapter 510
Another year, Zhao Xing spent the New Year in Chuxiong, Yunnan. Although he was far away from his relatives and seemed lonely during the New Year, there was no shortage of lively around him. Every day, there were endless people coming to pay New Year's greetings. First of all, officials from all over Yunnan arrived at the first time, with generous gifts and flattering smiles.
Then there were officials from Yunnan and Guizhou, and officials from Guangdong and Guangxi also came over. The farthest, even officials from Shanxi and Shaanxi also came over to greet each other from thousands of miles to greet them.
Looking at their dusty faces and listening to their numerous praises, Zhao Xing was always modest and condolences. Then he agreed to their little requests as appropriate.
For example, after an official in Shanxi wanted to be transferred, he told his request and reasons, Zhao Xing thought it was right, so he promised him the position of prefect on the spot.
Those who move the prefect at the first level need to go through a very troublesome process.
First, the Ministry of Personnel needs to be assessed, and then the meritorious service needs to be checked. Then, the censors from Shanxi and Shaanxi gave recommendations, and finally arrived at the cabinet record. When something was missing, everyone discussed and then called to the Ministry of Personnel to nominate, and then reported to the Emperor.
The emperor agreed, and then went to the rank of the statutes and was affiliated with the cabinet. This was the so-called disciple of God.
After this process, it takes less than a year to think about it.
However, just as the officials were watching, Zhao Xing thought what the official asked was correct. So he wrote a manual to the governor of Shanxi, said something to the Minister of Personnel, and asked the Secretary of the Silijian Bingbing. Then, before the official could return to Shaanxi, his prefect's order was sent directly to Chuxiong.
Such immediate action ability is extremely enviable.
But in Zhao Xing believed that this was not abuse of power, but efficiency.
And just during the Chinese New Year, the emperor's special order came, and it was filled with condolences and praises.
Then he told him that the scientific examination will begin again in March this year. The old rules are that the emperor is the chief examiner, of course, the nominee, and Zhao Xing is the deputy chief examiner. This is practical.
For the grand ceremony of the country, no matter how big the matter is in Yunnan now, the emperor asked Zhao Xing to go back no matter how he presided over the grand event. In his words, he revealed that you must be.
The imperial edict was made public and was to be published in the mansion, so that all the subjects in the world knew about it. Therefore, a new wave of congratulations almost flooded the headquarters of the Chuxiong Zhao Xing.
Even Zhang Shenyan came over in person to congratulate Zhao Xing.
In this way, Zhao Xing, who was only 24 years old after the Chinese New Year, was known to everyone throughout the Ming Dynasty.
"Do you think I'm a little floating now?" Zhao Xing said this when standing in front of the huge dressing mirror coming from the West and receiving Zhifeng's help in dressing.
Zhi Fengyun, who helped to organize his clothes, said calmly: "What the adults think is for this country. Even in the midst of the party struggles, the Donglin Party members can only criticize the adults for some details, but they cannot mention any major things. And they do not need to refute your details personally. The Holy Emperor is in court, so they will make it clear."
Zhao Xing believes that this statement is correct.
"An upright officials also sneer at this. To be honest, since our emperor took over this old empire, all upright officials knew that this was a dynasty that was about to collapse. It was after you took office that you had made trouble, and let this dynasty roll towards destruction re-enter the right path and start to prosperity. Who can refute your contributions?"
Having tidied up his cuffs, Zhao Xing thought that the most upright person around him was also the most caring person, and he was right.
"What I want to meet today is a group of Golden Flower Officials."
Jinhuaguan is an official sent to the new imperial examination. He is accepting the banquet for Zhao Xing’s disciples and rewarded Jinhuaguan. Now he is called Jinhuaguan by the people and the court.
They were uniformly considered to be the emperor's disciples, but actually Zhao Xing's disciples.
"Xiaohe, what they do is directly related to the direction of the court. I should teach them well and make them cautious and cautious." Then I sighed: "A group of new officials represent a group of new ideas and a new direction. As a guide, I dare not slackew on at all times."
After sighing, Zhifeng proposed: "The Guizhou Administrator has been here for 5 days and has been wanting to meet with you. Let me talk to you about the implementation of the new policy in Guizhou. As a result, you have never had any time. Can you take some time?"
Zhao Xing seemed to have forgotten that there was another incident: "Is there any such incident?"
"have."
Zhao Xing thought for a while: "Let's arrange tomorrow. I'll take some time tomorrow no matter what." Then he smiled: "In fact, it's no big deal to meet him or not. It's mainly because he and I talk to you about the new policy, which is the most important thing."
"There is another thing. Zhang Shenyan, the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, submitted a memorial request to retire and handed over the memorial here. I hope you can check it out."
This was a big thing, and Zhao Xing frowned and thought for a long time, but he did not directly ask Zhang Shenyan to write to the cabinet and the emperor, but said: "You should be cautious when one of the three governors of the State Dynasty. However, Zhang Shenyan is old and always keeps a way out for himself. In this way, the major affairs of the State Dynasty will naturally delay. Let's do this. In the evening, you will give me his memorials and I will take a closer look and think about it."
Zhifeng agreed with a smile.
Now he knew that as long as his master said this, Zhang Shenyan, one of the three governors of the country, would eventually get what he wanted. As for the true meaning of his writing this memorial, it was no longer important. What was important was that his master had already annoyed him.
Zhao Xing could easily make a decision on the stay and departure of a rank-in officials with his hand. The most important thing is that the emperor, who was far away in the capital, never refuted his decision to his own master.
For example, in the previous paragraph, the Minister of Rites opposed the new policy, the emperor asked Zhao Xing about his solution. Zhao Xing said: "Those who are like-minded should share it; those who are disinterested in their hearts and virtues should be denounced." Then, the Minister of Rites was inexplicably dismissed from office because of a trivial matter.
There is no small matter in politics, so the officials all over the world immediately understood one truth from this small matter; that is, the inner emperor has the final say, and the outer emperor has the final say.
There is no good ending to go against Zhao Xing.
For example, Zhang Shenyan, in fact, there is no need to go through the Zhao Xing process when he retired. As a result, he left, and the memorial was beaten back. There was only one light sentence that needed to be pondered.
The old governor Zhang Shenyan cried bitterly with the folds, then burned the fold and rewritten a copy.
When Zhao Xing walked to the lobby wearing the emperor's 800 miles of new rewards, and with the python robe with the queen's stitches, officials from hundreds of provinces, including Guangxi, knelt on the ground with a jingle sound.
That was the sound of the golden money falling to the ground with their ropes that they had specially lengthened. This sound was explaining to Zhao Xing and to all outsiders that we are all royalists, we are all golden flowers, and we are disciples of the emperor and Zhao Xing.
Then he shouted in unison: "Students wish my teacher a good New Year."
