Chapter 272 Hong Chengchou
In the northern suburbs of the capital, dozens of riders rode horses and galloped on the spacious and straight official road, which attracted many people's attention.
The cavalry were all covered with armor, obviously killing and attacking the fierce soldiers, and the leader was wearing a Confucian robe and obviously dressed in a literati.
At the foot of the capital, no one knows that since the Qin Gong took power and the literati led troops, it has become a thing of the past. In today's capital, it is extremely rare for civil servants to lead troops.
"Sir, the capital is ahead. The court rules and regulations are required. Foreign soldiers are allowed to enter the capital without orders. We will escort here!"
When the towering capital appeared, one of the cavalry suddenly stepped forward and bowed to the civil servant.
"The journey is long, I'm sorry, General."
Hong Chengchou bowed his hand and then took out a purse from his arms: "There is not a lot of silver, which is considered a waste of money for the brothers on the way."
The general was stunned, then took the purse and bowed to Hong Chengchou: "Take a good care!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Hong Chengchou bowed to the cavalry until the cavalry turned their heads and left. Hong Chengchou slowly turned around and stared at the distant capital city. His eyes flashed. After a while, he suddenly shook his head and sighed.
What is impermanence in the world?
He Hong Chengchou is the complete impermanence of the world!
When he was poor, he was appreciated by noble people and studied poetry and books hard, he was the only one who lived up to his hard work. He passed the imperial examination and ranked 14th in the second grade of the palace examination and was awarded the title of Jinshi.
When he was first appointed as an official, he was admitted to the Qing Lishu Department of the Ministry of Justice. He was repeatedly appreciated by noble people and became successful. In just a few years, he went to Shaanxi to supervise grain and participate in politics, and became the fourth rank of official!
Such an official career is not smooth!
But things are impermanent. With the turmoil of the court, the nobles who once admired him were dismissed one by one. He was even implicated because of this. One of them was supervised by grain in Shaanxi, and they crossed two dynasties from the sixth year of Tianqi to the Jingwu Dynasty, and they still supervised by grain in politics, without any movement.
Even with the rise of Wu Xun, his right to supervise grain and participate in politics was divided up by Wu Xun, almost becoming a decoration.
No one in the court supported and relied on it, and the local area was rebellious, with great military achievements and was crowded.
In this way, he almost thought that his career had been cut off.
But things in the world are so wonderful. The new governor of the three sides took office, and he was also a warrior who had been in office for the first time.
When the recruiting officials were reorganized into the Trilateral Governor's Office, he happened to be included in the recruitment list.
There is no doubt that this recruitment is a difficult choice for all civil servants who have been recruited.
After all, this three-sided governor is a warrior!
Moreover, as we all know, this trilateral governor is also the confidant of the Duke of Qin who is now assisting the country in charge!
Accepting the recruitment is undoubtedly surrendering to the military. What it means is very clear in the era when the trend of literary nobles and lowly martial arts has not yet completely dissipated.
If you refuse to seek a call, the consequences will be obvious!
Shaanxi has great military achievements. Now in the capital, the Duke of Qin has already covered the sky with his hands!
Rejection will obviously mean self-determination on the career of the officialdom and self-determination on the Ming Dynasty!
From then on, I am afraid I can only relax in the countryside and completely draw a clear line between power.
Such a choice, it is naturally very clear how to choose.
Hong Chengchou chose to follow his heart!
Life is so wonderful. After choosing to follow his heart, his career seems to be about to become successful again!
Hong Chengchou looked down at the letter in his hand, a letter of recommendation written by the Governor of the Three Borders.
Recommend him... Hong Chengchou to the Duke of Qin who is now covering the sky with one hand!
"call!"
After breathing a long breath, Hong Chengchou gently stroked the slight wrinkles on the envelope, his eyes became firmer, and he rode away.
...
"Hong Chengchou?"
When Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised when he heard this name.
"Report to the master, the official is indeed named Hong Chengchou, and he said he was recommended by the Governor of the Three-Border..."
After taking the envelope handed over by Wang Wu, Li Xiu opened it casually. After reading it, a look of thought appeared between his eyebrows.
There is no doubt that Hong Chengchou's name has left a rich mark in history.
From the heroes of the Ming Dynasty to the top Han officials in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
There is no doubt that regardless of whether he is loyal or righteous, at least his talent is clearly proven.
Nowadays, if you can be recommended by Zhou Yuji, Hong Chengchou's talent is naturally not to be said.
Of course, these are all secondary. What is important is the choice Hong Chengchou has made, or the position determined after accepting the recruitment of the Trilateral Governor's Office.
One of his ranks is a great military honor, and there are quite a few generals who can be used as civil servants. There are very few civil servants who can be used as civil servants.
But it can be expected that with the stability of his power as the Qin Duke, this flaw will be compensated sooner or later.
And now, it is undoubtedly just in a window period.
I have to say that the opportunity for Hong Chengchou to apply for the effect was very good.
It just so happens that he needs to hire people, and he just happens to be short of people.
"Take him here."
Thoughts flashed, Li Xiu put away the envelope and gave an order to Wang Wu who was standing in front of him.
"I'll go now."
Wang Wu bowed and walked away quickly.
At this moment, outside the Duke of Qin's mansion, Hong Chengchou stood alone, and his expression was obviously nervous.
In terms of the Gaomen Mansion, even in terms of the entire Ming Dynasty, which family is superior to the Duke of Qin!
And his mere fourth-rank official is really not worth mentioning in front of this Gaomen Mansion.
Step on...
When the footsteps sounded, Hong Chengchou's eyes suddenly lit up. He subconsciously sorted out his clothes, stood straight, waiting neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Sir, please!"
Looking at Hong Chengchou in front of him, he recalled the expression of the master just now. Wang Wu didn’t know where this inconspicuous civil servant might be appreciated by the master and become successful!
"But Mr. Wang is polite..."
Hong Chengchou, a seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's Sect, dared not show off in front of Wang Wu. After giving in for a long time, he walked into the Duke of Qin's mansion in front of him when Wang Wu was unable to stop his affection.
"Hong Chengchou, the governor of grain in Shaanxi, has met Duke Qin!"
In the hall, Hong Chengchou stood respectfully.
“No need for politeness.”
After looking at Hong Chengchou in front of him for a moment, Li Xiu slowly spoke.
"Are you still qualified for the Ministry of Revenue in Jiangnan who lacks a minister?"
After saying this, Hong Chengchou, who felt that he had made sufficient preparations, was completely stunned.
Such a straightforward approach was completely beyond his expectations.
There was no teaching exam, no inquiries, and no politeness, so he threw his glory and wealth in front of him.
After a long time, Hong Chengchou realized, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was silent for a moment before looking at the Duke of Qin in front of him, and bowed deeply: "A humble position will definitely be a life-threatening force!"
Li Xiu asked again: "How to do it, can it be clear?"
Hong Chengchou was neither humble nor arrogant, and slowly spoke out two words: "Tax!"
"good!"
Li Xiu smiled heartily.
"The Nanjing Ministry of Revenue will not have a Secretary of the Household Department. The boats and cars are exhausted. Yan Yan will take a break for a few days, so he will take office as soon as possible."
"A humble position will never disappoint Qin Gong's expectations!"
Hong Chengchou responded with a righteous expression.
"The situation is urgent, please ask Duke Qin to give him a quick horse, so you can take office as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and then smiled and said, "It's good."
"Wang Wu!"
"I'm here!"
Wang Wu immediately trotted and stood respectfully in front of Li Xiu.
"Appoint it and send Yanyan to Nanjing to take office."
"I'll go now."
Chapter completed!
