"Governor? Master, do you want me, my disciple, to be the governor of the two Zhejiang roads?"
Gao Zhang pointed to the tip of his nose and looked at Master Hunjun in front of him with disbelief.
I always feel that this news is a bit too much of a surprise. What I want is to be able to jump to Hangzhou to be the governor like Su Shi.
By the way, he was responsible for the establishment of the Shipping Department, and supported the lieutenant general Tan Zhen, who was shivering in Hangzhou at the moment, to the position of the Shipping Department.
By the way, let's see if there is a chance to deal with the Zhu family and his son who will cause turmoil in the south of the Song Dynasty and lead to Fangla's uprising.
But in the end, Master Hunjun was so arrogant that he directly handed over such an important position as governor to himself.
You must know that the official title of governor first appeared in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but the duties and powers have been changing.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that the responsibilities of the governors were roughly determined. However, the governors in the Song Dynasty were temporarily dispatched.
By the Ming Dynasty, this gradually became a regular practice. In the Ming Dynasty, the governor had various administrative, military, supervisory, judicial and other powers in a province, and was the highest local governor together with the governor.
And in the Ming Dynasty, the governor was a second-rank official.
"Exactly, I had considered it before as my teacher, and wanted to entrust you, Xiao Gao, with being the governor of Hangzhou."
"However, since the magistrate of Hangzhou has only been in office for ten months, it is really inappropriate to change the position rashly, and it will easily attract criticism from all the officials and workers in the court."
"So after much deliberation, I have found that, apart from the governor of Hangzhou, this is the only governor position that is suitable for you to work in Hangzhou."
"Because as a governor, there will be no restrictions on you from the local government, so you can act calmly."
"In addition, Cai Qing also recommended a deputy to you, who is your good friend Cai Yao and Cai Liulang."
"..."
Gao Zhang looked at the Hunjun Master in front of him and was very proud of him. "My master, it was hard for you to come up with such a unique method. Why don't you praise me quickly?"
Naturally, Gao Zhang worshiped the official Zhao Ji without hesitation.
"Master makes plans for the disciple like this, and the disciple will be completely devastated, and there is no way to repay him..."
"Get up, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
After the official Zhao Ji helped Gao Zhang up, he spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"It is the custom of our dynasty that most of the municipal shipping departments set up by the ministers will act as agents. Regarding the Hangzhou shipping department, Yang Jian proposed to his teacher and put Tan Zhen, who is serving as the enshrinement officer in Hangzhou Jinming Bureau, in charge."
"Well, Cai Qing's family recommended a capable person to me, that is, Zhu Meng, son of Zhu Chong, who is now in Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau."
"After all, the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, under the control of the father and son, has been successfully managed, which is quite in line with the teacher's wishes..."
Gao Zhang stared blankly at the Hunjun Master in front of him, listening to the other party's gibbering that this traitor who caused great turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Northern Song Dynasty actually called him a capable person.
This made Gao Zhang really have the urge to pinch Master Hunjun's neck to make him wake up.
At this moment, I heard Master's words change.
"However, there are also ministers who once impeached Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng's father and son for their clever plundering, which caused widespread resentment among the people in Jiangnan..."
"But some ministers think it's just some local officials making a fuss, and it's hard for a teacher to know whether it's true or not.
Therefore, I hope that after you arrive in Hangzhou, I will take a good look at what the situation is like. "
Gao Zhang nodded frequently, listening to the master's instructions, the little abacus in his heart was crackling at the moment.
Naturally, he could tell that this faint-hearted master was dubious about the illegal behavior of Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng.
In short, I just hope that my beloved disciple will go over and take a look and determine what the situation is like.
If there is no problem between the Zhu family and his son, let him choose the better one between Tan Zhen and Zhu Meng to take charge of the Shibo Division.
After all, he is his beloved disciple, and he has made so many achievements, so he trusts him very much.
Gao Zhang naturally accepted this important task smoothly, saying that he would uphold justice and handle affairs, and would neither wrongly accuse a good person nor let a bad person go.
#####
After Yang Jianxiang sent Gao Zhang back, he saw the official Zhao Ji walking slowly in the study, his brows furrowed.
"Why are the officials so frowning, but did they forget to tell Duke Zhuangyuan something just now?"
After Yang Jian entered the study, he couldn't help but curiously asked the official.
Official Zhao Ji slowly shook his head, walked slowly for a few more steps, and then said to Yang Jian.
"Xiao Gao is still a child after all, although tomorrow, I will officially give him the post of governor of the Liangzhe Road."
"But I am still worried that those old officials will bully him because of his youth."
Yang Jian blinked and recalled his first impression after meeting Gao Zhang for the first time. Indeed, he was just a handsome young boy with red lips and white teeth.
It was only after repeated contact that I realized the young man's methods and power.
#####
I wanted to persuade Yu Guanjia not to worry about Gao Zhang for this matter, but in the end I didn't dare to say this.
I was afraid that Zhao Ji, an official who treated Gao Zhang as though he was a stranger, thought he was being sarcastic.
"In the official family, I remember, as a governor, I have the right to make arrangements..."
"Of course I know that I have the right to make the treaty, but even if he passes the news back to Tokyo and I vent his anger on his behalf, he will have been wronged after all."
"..." Yang Jian stared blankly at the official Zhao Ji, opened his mouth, and finally could only swallow what he wanted to say.
Well, it’s up to you to figure out what you old man wants to do.
I saw the official walking around in the study for a long time, seemingly unable to find a good solution and feeling very depressed.
He simply walked out of the study room and looked around. The Ouchi guards were standing not far away, holding their swords and looking around cautiously.
Official Zhao Ji suddenly let out a sigh, and then his eyes gradually moved downward. When they fell on the waist of one of the guards, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing official Zhao Ji's evil eyes staring at his waist, the guard's face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously tightened his legs and stood up straight.
Then he touched the beard on his face, and he couldn't help but beat the drum in panic.
Fortunately, at this time, the official Zhao Ji finally looked away and showed a strange and satisfied smile.
He turned around and walked to the side. In a short time, he arrived at the room where he, the official of the Song Dynasty, had his collection of weapons.
After the official Zhao Ji entered the room, he looked at the dazzling array of weapons in the room, and finally his eyes fell on one of the Xia Guo swords.
He copied it and weighed it in his hand. After some gestures, he handed it to Yang Jian.
"Guan, what are you doing..."
"Get it for me. Tomorrow, I will bring the sword to the court."
"What?"
