Chapter 1289: Awesomeness

On the day of the grand dynasty meeting, I was "competing for the road" on the official road, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Cao Yong was puzzled. Although he didn't want to do anything, he couldn't tell anyone to turn around the sedan chair and take a detour immediately. In that case, he would become a topic of conversation for others.

After thinking about it, he said to Cao Man: "Go and ask which adult's sedan chair is in front of him?"

Cao Man bowed and responded, and went forward to inquire.

Cao Yong lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and guessed the identities of both parties.

Most of them are senior officials above the third rank, and officials below the third rank will not bring so many followers to court.

For a moment, footsteps came from outside the sedan chair. Cao Man came back and said through the curtain: "Master!"

Cao Yong opened the curtain and before he could ask, he saw someone standing beside Cao Man, looking familiar with the light.

The man was in his thirties, had a national face, a slightly tall figure, and was wearing a blue cloth robe.

"Manager Li?" Cao Yong asked with confusion.

The man stepped forward, knelt down and said, "It's the villain Li Zhong who has seen Lord Cao, please feel free to you."

This Li Zhong is not someone else, but a companion to Li Wei.

After Li Wei donated his official position in Beijing and joined the Sixth Ministry, he had no one to use. His uncle Li Yun gave Li Wei the chief to Li Zhong's family to serve.

Compared with those old servants in the countryside of Xuzhou, Li Zhong was the eldest son of the official family. After following Li Yun for many years, his vision was naturally extraordinary.

This Li Zhong was valued by Li Wei and was often taken by his side. Therefore, Cao Yong had also seen this person.

Cao Yong was shocked and shouted, then hesitated and asked, "Is the sedan chair of your adult in the intersection in front of you?"

Li Zhong said: "It's my master. I just met Manager Cao and knew that Lord Cao was here. My master had retreated and asked Lord Cao to get up the sedan chair first."

This is not because acquaintances give way. The governor of other places is the second rank without the title of Shangshu, but Cao Yong, the Minister of Revenue, is from the first rank.

Cao Yong didn't say anything, nodded, and said, "That's how it will take."

Li Zhong retreated and went to return.

Cao Yong lowered the curtains of the sedan chair and had no intention of greeting Li Wei at the intersection.

After a while, the sedan chairman lifted the sedan chair again and walked forward staggeringly.

It was not until outside the Meridian Gate that the sedan chair was stopped, and Cao Yong called Cao Man into the sedan chair.

"But after asking, who is fighting with Li Wei?" Cao Yong asked.

Looking at the situation just now, Li Wei's sedan chair was originally in front of Cao Yong, and there was a T-junction on the north side of the road. The sedan chair that competed with Li Wei came from the intersection.

In this way, it cannot be said that it was Li Wei's fault.

After all, Li Wei was walking straight, but the sedan chair was coming from the side.

"It's the sedan chair of the Governor of Liangjiang Fan Shiyi." Cao Man replied: "Li Zhong said that, the one that was inserted there suddenly became hot under the dark light. He almost met the people here, which made Lord Li angry and refused to give in."

Cao Yong nodded and sent Cao Man out.

With Li Wei and Fan Shiyi, it is impossible for them to simply have a "match of loyalty" for the intersection.

Cao Yong was puzzled. One of these two people was the governor of Zhejiang and the other was the governor of Liangjiang. They did not belong to each other. What would be the conflict?

If it is for Li Wei's "control of theft cases of the seven prefectures and five prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River" that affects the Liangjiang area, it is not a blame on Li Wei. After all, it was arranged by the emperor, and Li Wei just followed the order.

Cao Yong looked at his pocket watch and waited for another two quarters of an hour. It was estimated that the time was about the same, so he got off the sedan chair and went to the front to schedule the shift.

After a while, the rituals and music started, and everyone was included in the palace gate.

Today, the Holy Lord is in the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

At this time, whether it is the governor or the minister who came to Beijing to meet, the officials who reported it was mostly good decision-making, most of them were voices of gratitude and praise, and all the auspicious things in the Ministry of Rites’ reports.

Unlike the constant "Jiahe" auspiciousness in spring and summer, there are many auspiciousnesses published by the Minister of Rites.

Ghats appear in Gansu, red geese appear in Heilongjiang, and white animals of various colors from all over the country, white wolf, white deer, white fox, white swallow, white dove, etc. These are living creatures; auspicious snow, auspicious rain, auspicious clouds are astronomy, the sea does not rise, the river is clear, the river is clear, the dead wood regenerates, the cow has the upper teeth, the dog raises the slightest, the cow has the slightest stone, the bird has the front red, and the land has the lotus, which is a strange phenomenon of wood, stone and livestock.

In addition to "Jiahe" and "Zhicao" in the southern provinces, some flowers and trees are rare in the north, and they are also sent to the capital as auspicious auspiciousness.

In addition, some copper tripods and bronze bells were unearthed, which also became auspicious objects.

In the more than a dozen provinces and several generals in the Qing Dynasty, there was no place without auspiciousness.

Many people present are familiar with such a scene of gratitude and praise.

During the Kangxi Dynasty, when the Kangxi reign was 60 years old and the 60th anniversary of the throne ascended the throne, auspiciousness was concentrated.

Cao Yong remembered clearly that even Yongzheng had received auspicious auspiciousness, as if it was a "sweet spring in the land" in Wangzhuang.

Many auspicious signs are like the one on the dragon throne who is the number one saint from ancient times to the present.

The Minister of Rites reported the auspiciousness for most of the time. When he finished reading it, he was already shouting at the top of his voice.

Cao Yong raised his head and looked at Yongzheng on the dragon throne.

But he had a stern face and no joy or anger.

Cao Yong secretly felt fortunate that the Beijing officials didn't need to do the Xiangrui game, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

Some of those auspicious things may be true, while others are explicitly "falsified".

Not only does it sound like a joke, but when the emperor is in a bad mood, it can also be settled; but if there is no auspiciousness, it may also cause dissatisfaction to the king.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, this is what he is talking about.

After the Minister of Rites reported the good news, it was the Ministry of Revenue. Zhang Tingyu reported the money, grain, taxes and other places, which increased significantly.

The Ministry of Revenue is finished, and it is the Ministry of Works again. It also builds a new river embankment, a lot of silt, etc.

To sum up this dynasty, the emperor is wise, the world is peaceful, the weather is good, the country is prosperous, the people are safe.

The censor, who is more active in every court meeting, is now honest.

No matter how "iron-solid" he is not an idiot in the officialdom, of course he would not talk about those disappointing things for the last time before the Emperor's 500,000th birthday.

Amid the praises of all officials, the grand dynasty will be held from Mao (6 am) until early noon (eleven noon).

Cao Yong just felt that his legs were about to stand up straight.

Several older adults have already had their children and disciples to help them.

After a few hours, it was not only because I was tired of standing, but the number of times the Hall of Supreme Harmony was opened was limited, which was very cold.

Even though Cao Yong had small sweaters in his official uniform, his body was filled with heat this morning.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, Cao Yong poured half a pot of hot tea in a row before he could calm down.

When Jiang Jian came in front of the yamen, he told the new gossip in the yamen.

The content of the gossip is the "competition" between the two governors this morning.

Behind Li Wei's sedan chair, Cao Yong's sedan chair came; behind Fan Shiyi's sedan chair, there was also an official sedan chair, which was the Taipu Temple Minister, and there were several six officials riding horses behind.

Due to the dispute between Li and Fan, the intersection was blocked for a quarter of an hour.

Everyone also found out about the details of Li Fan and his two people.

Although the two have similar status now, their weight is different.

The disciple of Emperor Li Wei was a member of the residence of the emperor and was born in a donation. In recent years, he was fortunate to become the governor; Fan Shiyi was the grandson of the founding Yuanfu and the governor of the family father and brother, and could not count a single slap.

Not to mention the other places, just the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Fan Shiyi's father was the governor of Liangjiang in his early years, and his uncle died as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang during the Sanchang Rebellion.

Logically speaking, these two people have different weights and should not be able to fight, so why did they make a fuss?

There are different opinions. Some say that Fan Shiyi is angry that Li Wei is not following the rules and scatters a lot of money in the six ministries, which hits him in the face of the Governor of Liangjiang; some say that Li Wei is arrogant and crosses the border in the south of the Yangtze River, which makes Fan Shiyi dissatisfied.

There are many kinds of things, and you can use whatever you say.

No matter what the reason is, the two major governors in the south of the Yangtze River are not in harmony, which has become well known.

Although this book is different from Cao Yong, there is Cao Song in the south, and Cao Yong has to think more. Cao Song is an official from Liangjiang, but because of the matter of "anxious thieves", he has to listen to Li Weixuan's summons.

If Fan Shiyi takes his anger, he will inevitably not like Cao Song, a subordinate.

After falling into the yamen, Cao Yong went home to change his official uniform, talked to his wife twice, and then took a few Chang to "Fenghezhuang" near Xidan Archway.

The dinner that Cao Yong and Li Wei had made an appointment is here.

It is said to be a restaurant, but in fact it is in a private restaurant in a courtyard, with Huaiyang cuisine as the main taste.

By the time Cao Yong arrived, Li Wei was already waiting in the private room.

Without others, there will be less politeness and greetings.

Because Cao Yong went to Jiangning at the end of last year, the two of them had not seen each other for only half a year.

Compared with that, Li Wei became clearer and more conspicuous, and the dense pockmarks on his face became more conspicuous.

However, because he has been in the upper position for a long time, he has no vulgarity.

The momentum is even stronger, exuding a murderous aura, not like a civil servant, but more like a general who has removed his armor.

"What is the reason? Why did Fan Shiyi make trouble? Jiangnan is related to the important part of the country and people's livelihood. If you two are in a relationship, the emperor may be angry." Cao Yong didn't say nonsense and said bluntly.

Li Wei touched his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Where is I want to make trouble? There is really no way. Fan Shiyi wants to catch my braid. The memorials he impeached me have been handed over to the imperial court. As early as when he first entered the Tongzhou Wharf in Beijing, he argued. That time, I read his seniority and gave in. He didn't say a word of thanks, but he became even worse today. If he retreated again, I would be a joke."

Although Cao Yong and Fan Shiyi have been colleagues for two years, they are not together and have seen each other for a limited number of times.

In Cao Yong's impression, Fan Shiyi had the style of a Confucian general, which looked exactly the opposite of Li Wei's toughness.

I didn't expect that he would act so domineeringly.

"What is the reason? It's not because you are robbing responsibilities. If he is not even satisfied with the emperor's arrangement, then he is so slim that he will not be the governor." Cao Yong said.

Li Wei sneered and said, "I know people but not my heart. Maybe the adults really admire him. He told his aide that his cousin Fan Shijie was not accused of the governor of Shaanxi because he was implicated by Nian Gengyao, but because he committed a villain. That villain was me. After I left the capital, I first went southwest and then south of the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away from Shaanxi. Where did I have to do with Fan Shijie? It was just nonsense..."

In the previous chapters, Cao Yong was said to be the second grade, but the mistake was already from the first grade, haha.

*** has risen to the fifth place in history, thank you everyone. However, I was chasing too close to you, so I beg my friends to continue to help.
Chapter completed!
