Chapter 280 Di Qing leaves
It was time for spring to bloom again, and the turmoil in the capital was finally coming to an end, and everything began to get on the right track. Feng Shiyuan was on the back of the stalkers, the imperial guards in front of the hall were purged, the Cavalry and the Infantry Division had relatively less influence, and a large number of middle and low-level officers were replaced. However, the absence of soldiers in chaos made the court feel relieved.
In the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Xu Ping looked at Di Qing who was cleaning up and preparing to travel far, saying, "Last year, your two armies confronted each other in the capital, and there was a lot of movement. Later, the storm in the imperial guards, some people blamed you for the heads of you. It's okay for the others, you have tattoos on your face, and you are remembered by those who are interested and can't help but talk badly about you. If you can't stay in the imperial guards in the capital, you should go to the local area to find a military position. The war in the northwest is about to begin, and you can lead troops there, make some military achievements, and gain a background."
Di Qing crossed his hands and said, "Thank you, the counselor, for speaking up for justice, Di Qing will never forget it!"
Xu Ping smiled and said, "You did not do anything wrong, but you were just slandered by villains. You don't need to thank me for help. If Dangxiang wants to rebel in the future, the war may start near Yanlu. Yanzhou inspection is just vacant, so it is natural for me to recommend you. Zhang Yushi dismissed from his post and sent to Yanzhou. Although he is a little pedantic, he is a straight person. You just need to do things with peace of mind."
Di Qing agreed to the promise, and Xu Ping encouraged some words of loyalty to serve the country, so he asked him to go.
Gao Daquan impeached himself in advance, which triggered a great purge of the imperial guards, and there must be a rebound in the three yamen. Because of Li Yong and Xu Ping's relationship, no one could do anything about Gao Daquan, and his few people were in trouble. Especially Di Qing, because he had always had tattoos on his face when he was exiled, he was very conspicuous and was attacked. The imperial guards in the capital were not good enough, so Xu Ping recommended him to Shaanxi Road and served as the inspector of Yanzhou. For Di Qing, it was a blessing in disguise, which was considered a promotion.
After the matter was settled, Zhang Guan stepped down as the chief censor of the Censorate just after the New Year and went to Yanzhou to serve as the governor of Yanzhou. Yanzhou is the first prefecture of Yanlu and a must-pass place for Dangxiang. It is particularly important. Letting Zhang Guan go shows the court's current importance to the situation in the northwest. However, in Xu Ping's opinion, Zhang Guan is really not a talent to be in charge of the border, and the mainland is suitable for him.
After Zhang Guan left, Kong Daofu returned to the court and was in charge of the Censorate again. Fan Zhongyan's punishment was gradually cancelled. This is the usual way for the court to deal with censors. Even if there is a demotion, even if it is severe, it will soon be able to rise again. The demotion of the censors is often only a manifestation of the attitude of the court. Officials only suffered some setbacks for a while and rarely affected their future careers.
After seeing Di Qing off, Xu Ping returned to the mansion and chatted with his family for a while, and then arrived in the back garden.
Since Xu Ping returned to the Third Division last year, the money bags of middle and lower-level officials in the court have been bulging again, and the atmosphere is peaceful. Xu Ping's Yongning Marquis' Mansion is full of guests every day, and the back garden is very lively. Provincial Lord Xu has rich and generous, so many officials regard his back garden as a place to visit and become a semi-open park.
At first, Xu Ping was not used to it. No matter who came, he tried to take time to accompany him. Later, he couldn't come with it, so he let them play there casually. Gradually, he got used to it. Every day, he just looked at the posts he received, and then decided whether to go over to meet him. The corresponding back garden was also divided into several parts, and the private space belonging to the Xu family was surrounded, and the rest was simply used as a place for officials to gather.
This is the atmosphere of the times. There are always a few wealthy families, royal families, relatives, or old children of heroes in the capital, which have become places for officials to play and gather. After all, when they go out to the wilderness, no one provides food and drink, so where can they enjoy themselves in these places? Xu Ping is not a hospitable person, but he has always been generous and his family has become such a place. He has less singing and dancing, but eating and drinking is much better than other places, and middle and lower-level officials come the most.
When I arrived at the back garden, I sat in the pavilion filled with flowers and asked the servants to call Zheng Jian over.
After Zheng Jian gave the ceremony, Xu Ping gave up his seat and served tea, and said, "This time you are promoted to the waiting list, I have not congratulated you yet."
Zheng Jian bowed: "Thank you for your recommendation, I should thank the provincial master."
"Where is your achievements, it is natural to be promoted, and there is no need to thank me. By the way, I heard that you are inconvenient recently?"
Zheng Jian said embarrassedly: "Last year, Fan Xiwen was put into office and waited for the system. It was a bit difficult for the daily use at home. Zhu Jing thought about the deep affection of sisters and subsidized them. Originally, the family did not lack use, but the money was not enough to make money after waiting for the system."
Xu Ping smiled and said, "You have to have these troubles when you are promoted. I will ask you to pay a thousand guan in the account to use it first."
Zheng Jian thanked him and sat there a little shyly. His wife and Fan Zhongyan's wife were sisters. Although Zheng Jian himself was not very close to Fan Zhongyan, he was still in contact with money. Last year, Fan Zhongyan was put on duty and his income was reduced a lot. The Fan family spent a lot of money. Zheng Jian was recommended by Li Di and Xu Ping to become a minister of attendance. It was a good thing, but the imperial edict for promotion costs money. This is the rule in the officialdom. Zheng Jian cannot avoid the common people. The internal pen of the imperial edict, plus the capital of the official's report, and various rewards, is a considerable expense. Zheng Jian is indeed a little tight on his hands.
In fact, if you think about it, you can find that a certificate of monks can be sold for 100 or 200 yuan. Even if you only spend money on various documents and court robes for promotion, it will be a considerable amount. There is no way, the court will not do any loss-making business, and these will cost money.
After talking about some miscellaneous things, Zheng Jian said: "The incident of the Beijing Bank's loan issuance from outside the country last year has finally subsided. I have taken people to see the accounts and it has basically been settled. However, at the end of last year, after Feng Shiyuan committed the crime, he sent people to manage loan fraud to escape with the money and committed several lives. It has been found that there has been no news from the people who escaped. The people from the Censorate were very dissatisfied. People in the court kept mentioning that because several banks were opened, many major cases were created among the people, and there were sounds of shutting down the banks."
"This is a common thing, don't take it seriously. Doing things can make everyone satisfied. Remember, as long as we look at the big picture, grasp the overall situation, and some minor details, don't pay too much attention to it. Like the case you mentioned, there are several lawsuits for life and one or two thousand tanzhes of money, which is indeed a big case. But this big case is just for Kaifeng Prefecture, and there is no need to involve national government such as banks. Zhang Daoyi has already gone to Yizhou, and Xu Yan takes over Kaifeng Prefecture and asks him to investigate it."
Zheng Jian sighed: "I always feel unwilling to accept the evil people!"
Xu Ping said: "Don't worry about these things. You are now in the Audit Department, and you can't be distracted by it. In the past or two years, you have to formulate the rules of the Audit Department so that you can follow the rules in the future. This is more important than anything else. Especially after the affairs of the Beijing Bank last year, it is still important to sort out the regulations as soon as possible."
Zheng Jian Yingnui expressed that he understood Xu Ping's meaning.
