As soon as Zhao Weixian left, a new official came to take office!
The visitor is none other than an old acquaintance—Duan Peng!
The solemn atmosphere in Weiyuan Tower has changed. If anyone dares to look mournful when taking office as a new official, he will be damned if he will reap the rewards. A batch of red lanterns were replaced upstairs in Weiyuan, and red ribbons covered the eaves and ancient trees of the entire courtyard.
Several officials from Weiyuan Tower organized a troupe of musical instruments and instruments and sang in the square in front of the government office. Everyone who passed by knew that the new governor was taking office today!
From county magistrate to state magistrate, Duan Peng was promoted three levels in a row, which shocked everyone's attention. This is not a simple operation like moving luggage from Xinghua to Qingyuan. Some people have been officials for a lifetime and cannot complete this operation. They work as county magistrates until they retire.
At the beginning, Duan Peng was also ordered to clean up the mess because of the chaos in Xinghua. This time, the plague among the mountain people was calmed down, and the people were managed well. The court suddenly saw this piece of gold and immediately entrusted it with important tasks!
It looks like this on the surface!
The operation behind the scenes is pretty cool.
Xia Song had almost no power of his own in the south, and the north of the court was in chaos. It turns out that Jia Chaochang's forces and Xia Song's forces were fighting a bloody battle on Jingdong Road. Everyone was bleeding for one official position. The arrival of Bao Zheng pushed the bloody officialdom battle on Jingdong Road to a climax. The south is relatively stable. Xia Song has always wanted to get involved in several important towns in Mingquan, Lingnan, but he never got the chance!
The locations of these places were so important that they almost supported the entire imperial court's finances! The war in the northwest has just ended, and people's livelihood is in dire straits. Now whoever has money can get things done, and those who don't have money can only get a blank look!
As if overnight, Duan Peng was 'taken' to the side and was labeled as Xia Dang!
Even the scholars in the imperial court were divided into several factions.
One group consists of genuine scholars who have worked their way up through the imperial examinations by studying the Eight Classics. These people have the brightest minds and the most arrogant hearts. Duan Peng is such a person. Because he reads a lot and can write books by himself, he is also called a writer.
The other type is more shameless. Most of these people rely on my ability to help them embark on the official career path. To put it nicely, they are called Yin Feng. Unfortunately, Xia Song is such a person.
This is why Xia Song, who is fat and fat, is not popular in the first place. People who read a lot and use their brains too much will become quite thin. Xia Song was very fat and unsociable. In addition, he only had an official position because of my death, which made those scholars even more ashamed.
But in fact, if Xia Song really showed his strength and took the exam by himself, he would not necessarily lose to those imperial examination candidates, because he was also capable, but he took a shortcut and was criticized.
There are also some people who are even more shameful, like Jia Chaochang, who got to the position purely by flattering others. These people are simply the trebuchets among the garbage.
Now Duan Peng has made a very bad start!
This man, who is said to be one of the rare outstanding young backbones in the DPRK in recent years, and who has a professional background, actually hooked up with someone like Xia Song, and there was no sign of it, so Xia Song took him under his tutelage , everyone was shocked!
Xia Song's reputation in the court is now even more prominent!
The Zhao Guan family's care and preference for him became more and more blatant!
Especially after Zhao Guan's family took Chen Xichun into the harem, Concubine Chen became pregnant with a dragon seed. Zhao Zhen felt as if he had eaten honey. He smiled every day, praised Xia Song many times in court, and paid tribute to ministers openly and secretly many times. Hint to right him!
Yes, support him to the position of Pingzhang!
Damn it, there was Jia Chaochang in front of him who had already made Chao Gang a mess. This guy was openly selling his official position in the court and making a big fuss. Anyone who dared to have a different voice would go to the court.

It was so hard that he couldn't fall down, but now it was better, Xia Song climbed up!
Xia Song is notoriously greedy for money, otherwise who from a scholarly family would marry their daughter to a businessman!
Bianjing City is still criticizing Xia Song for this!
The most important thing is that Xia Song is completely different from the mainstream scholars!
This person did not put the teachings of Confucius and Mencius at the highest position in his heart. To put it bluntly, everything must give way to interests. This was Xia Song's creed. If Xia Song went up, how many people would be unlucky.
Duan Peng actually got together with Xia Song for the sake of his future!
Moreover, there was no news at all in the DPRK!
Zhao Weixian wants to return to Bianjing. This is a matter known to everyone in the court. Far away from the center of power, no matter how powerful he is, he will be unable to do anything.
When Zhao Weixian returned to Bianjing, the position of Quanzhou prefect became vacant. Many people were working early, hoping to occupy this good position as soon as possible.
Quietly, Duan Peng actually followed Xia Song's line. When Xia Song came out to speak out, everyone was shocked beyond measure!
No one thought that Duan Peng, a nerd, could have such extraordinary skills. He could find a connection with Xia Song in Xinghua, and this nerd could be so good at politics. He would vent his anger on people like Xia Song for the sake of his future. This Is there still hope for the DPRK?
Not only the people in the court, but also Duan Peng himself was in shock!
They wrongly blamed Duan Peng!
It is true that Duan Peng was involved in this matter, but when he first heard that Liang Chuan wanted him to try it out and maybe become the magistrate, he originally only heard it as a joke.
The difference between the word "Zhijun" and "Zhifu" is completely different.
Not to mention how many levels there are in between, the road that needs to be walked here is more than a hundred and eighty thousand miles, and there are thousands of connections that need to be used and countless experiences that one needs. Without a link, countless people have stopped at this threshold. .
Duan Peng had thought about it, but he just laughed at himself a few times for not overestimating his abilities. How dare he really have such extravagant expectations!
It seemed like I was still sleeping that day.
An envoy from the imperial court came to announce the edict. The clerk staggered as soon as he entered the door, with joy on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he said happily: "Congratulations to the county magistrate, congratulations to the county magistrate, for being promoted to the third level!"
Duan Peng thought he heard wrongly. Who would promote him to the third level of Zhijun? What about dreaming?
When he received the dreamlike decree, he came back to his senses. What he felt was not joy, but incomparable fear and disbelief!
He thought of what Liang Chuan had said to him, thought of Liang Chuan's understatement, and then thought of the far away court. The personnel appointments in the court were like a child's game, and the personnel arrangements of the dignified imperial officials were unexpectedly... A word from a commoner became a prophecy!
How can this be!
This is the dignified magistrate of Quanzhou. He is not a subordinate in his Xinghua Army. He can be appointed as he pleases. Many scholars have turned gray and have not been able to change into red clothes. He is sitting in the county government office. Good things actually fell from the sky!
Duan Peng was shocked. Such a large group of people in the Xinghua Army were very greedy. If they could follow Duan Peng to rise to the sky, they would get a lot of wealth in exchange!
For a time, the people who came to congratulate Duan Peng were almost over the threshold!
If they were promoted to other places, they would not want to go. Quanzhou Prefecture is different. It is close to home. Many Fengshan people make a living in Qingyuan. The oil and water are unparalleled in the world. If they can go there Catching fish for two years is a great pleasure in life!
Unexpectedly, Duan Peng came to Quan Mansion to take up his post without anyone. He rode a green donkey and took his followers Fan Wei and two of them alone.
He didn't even have any big or small luggage, just an official robe, a few simple clothes, and not a single suitcase.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
.
When Song Guangdou left Xinghua, it was like moving a mountain. There were countless treasures packed in large and small boxes to move back to his hometown!
One master and one servant, Fan Wei pulled the donkey, Duan Peng thought about it all the way, and was puzzled all the way.
Everyone was stunned when Gray Donkey entered Qingyuan City. A group of Quanzhou officials waiting at Chaotian Gate at the north gate, from the general magistrate to the clerks below, were all eagerly waiting at the city gate.
Once the documents from the imperial court are delivered, it is also important to arrive on time for the appointment. Because of the long journey, many officials, such as officials who went to the southwest to take up their posts, never returned.
However, Xinghua is only separated from Qingyuan by a mountain. Just past Luocheng is Xinghua. It only takes one more day to walk. If you hire a bearer, you can get there in a little more than half a day!
These people stood with their waists numb and their feet numb, waiting from sunrise to afternoon. The sun was getting stronger, but there was still no trace of Duan Peng!
But they don't dare to leave. When a new official takes office, what they need is respect. Everyone is here but you are absent. It's not that you don't give the leader face!
This time it was not just officials from their Weiyuan Building who came to congratulate them. All the main officials from several counties near Qingyuan, Taocheng and Changkeng in Luocheng were present. This is the rule. If you want to live comfortably in the next few years, this sacrifice is still necessary. necessary!
A little further away, like the magistrate of Changkeng County, he had come to stay at Yuehua Restaurant long ago after receiving the news, just waiting for this moment to prevent the new official from seizing the opportunity of being an official.
Huang Shaoping, the general judge, was already a little impatient. He had been in Weiyuanlou for a long time. It turned out that Zhao Weixian was parachuted in and made him lose his temper. He was born in a wealthy family. Most of these feudal officials were They, the Zhao family, had nothing to say, but when Zhao Weixian left, he thought that his position as the prefect was almost certain, but he didn't expect that another Duan Peng would come out!
Damn it, he came from behind and was on top of him all of a sudden! This makes Huang Shaoping not angry! There is nothing you can do about being angry. If someone is more capable than you, the official level will kill them. Fortunately, Huang Shaoping has long ignored the battles in the officialdom in these years. He wants to retreat to the second line. He usually fishes by the river. When he is angry, he just does that. Yes, I will be relieved soon!
This time, he was really on fire with triple burner!
"What a bully! Why don't you come? I'm waiting here to show my feelings for him. It's better for him to hang me and my colleagues up. Are you kidding me?" Huang Shaoping had a gray beard, blowing his beard and staring at the side. People vented their dissatisfaction loudly.
It is true that Duan Peng is one level senior to him now, but he is still more important in officialdom. It is only a matter of time for him, Huang Shaoping, to be promoted sooner or later. In terms of the number of years he has been an official, he is much earlier than Duan Peng, so he still has the qualifications. Let’s set the score!
To be honest, no one is familiar with what Duan Peng looks like. Although the two places are close to each other, there is not much contact between them. The rule that officials are not allowed to leave their jurisdiction during their term makes these people never interact with each other!
There are no photos or faxes these days. Send the portraits first so that these officials from Weiyuan Tower can take a look. They only know that Duan Peng is very young!
In fact, Duan Peng had already passed Chaotianmen on that gray donkey!
Everyone just preconceived that Duan Peng would carry the sedan chair and make a grand appearance. After all, he was only in his early forties. He was young and promising and had a bright future! How many young people can cultivate that kind of calmness, and how many of them want to show off!
Everyone is sure that whenever they see something grand, Duan Peng must be sitting in the sedan chair!
This is how the oolong started!
A small official approached Gao Chun very anxiously and said: "Master Gao, I have relatives in Xinghua. I have been to Xinghua several times. I was lucky enough to see the true face of Mr. Fu Zun. I saw how he just passed by." The middle-aged man riding a donkey looks like a master of the palace!"
