Of course, having said that, Tang Jianqiu cannot make the decision alone.
Although he is in charge of the Beizhen Fusi and has great powers, he still has to report some things to the commander and the commander. Many things can only be settled if they agree to the matter.
The people were very happy after hearing this. Although they were used to living a hard life, they also understood the principle of repaying kindness.
What's more, they had already received favors from Tang Jianqiu, and now it was even harder to say anything when they heard his words like this.
"Sir! You are truly a god! Your kindness will be unforgettable! You will be a cow or a horse in the next life! If you can return to your homeland in the future, you will raise funds to build a temple for your benefactor and pray for him!"
However, those who had previously pointed out that Tang Jianqiu was wrong lowered their heads in shame upon hearing this.
Others seemed to have a blockage in their throats and did not dare to speak. They only felt a little hot on their faces. Some even started to smooth things over:
"Let me tell you, how could Mr. Tang be as hateful as the rumors say? Someone must have made a mistake!"
"Now it seems that rumors are really harmful! I have always been on Mr. Tang's side! Mr. Tang is really our lucky star in Beiping East City!"
"It seems that Mr. Tang is really a rare honest official! In this way, we in Dongcheng will be blessed!"
The people all had their own opinions, and most of them were saying good things about Tang Jianqiu, but there were always a few who liked to find fault.
Tang Jianqiu didn't pay attention to these people who were clinging to power. He thought that these were just things he should do, and those who used power to bully others were the ones he really looked down on.
The one who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world, first attack the hearts and then conquer the city!
The people in this court are like water and fire, and the officials are like a battlefield. It is best to use the time to build up the strength secretly and wait for the enemy to be tired before attacking again!
What Tang Jianqiu did was a good deed, and rumors broke out in the local area. It could be said that it was spread from ten to ten, and this matter even spread to the imperial palace very quickly.
Tang Jianqiu's rescue work for the victims has spread completely in the streets and alleys, and has been completely spread among the neighbors in the countryside. Everyone, old, young, women, and children knows about it. Tang Jianqiu has naturally become a celebrity in Peiping, and more and more people appreciate him.
Even though what Tang Jianqiu did has become known to the world, there are still people who are dissatisfied with him, especially when they hear people all over the world talking about Tang Jianqiu's good deeds.
Even if Tang Jianqiu was rescuing the victims, it would still be unavoidable.
Those people may be jealous, or they may have novel brain circuits, they always like to find faults, and they even question Tang Jianqiu's goodwill;
About a few hours later, there was a group of talkative people gossiping about Tang Jianqiu behind his back: "Do you think Mr. Tang is really as good as the rumors say?
Beizhen Fusi is a cannibalistic place, let alone the Zhenfu envoy in charge of Zhenfusi. In my opinion, this is artificial! This man's heart is so far away from his belly! "
"Maybe he has bad intentions. No matter how many good things he does, he can't cover up the cruelty of Fusi in Beizhen! Could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to publicize it? It can also win the sympathy of the people in the world.
In this way, the good reputation of Beizhen Fusi will naturally reach the ears of the emperor. He is quite scheming! "
As if they had found a springboard, they mocked Tang Jianqiu endlessly behind his back, as if he had done something shameful, and their words were full of sarcasm.
The other one was a little less courageous. He quickly made a gesture of silence, and became worried about this:
"I think you should keep your voice down, don't let the Governor hear you, otherwise be careful with your heads!"
I thought that saying this would make them restrain themselves, but whoever thought that doing this would not get them relief, but what they got in return was endless ridicule and complaints;
"What am I afraid of? Why don't people talk about what he did? Also, didn't you notice that the governor was very close to the prime minister's son? Maybe the two of them had some shady deal!"
"Let me see, these two people are like Long Yang, who is obsessed with cutting sleeves. Don't look at him. He always behaves like someone who owes him money but has not paid it back. But it is completely different when he treats the son of the prime minister. Wow attitude!
I have lived for so many years and this is the first time I have heard of this strange thing! I really don’t know where to put this old face! "
As the man spoke, he patted his right cheek, wishing to tear off Tang Jianqiu's "hypocritical" face right now.
Ah Fei, who was sitting at his seat drinking, couldn't listen to what these gossipy men said. He slammed the cup in his hand onto the table with fierce eyes and murderous intent.
"Hmph! These bastards! How dare you be so lawless and disrespectful of the imperial officials, let's see if grandpa doesn't deal with them!"
As he said this, A Fei was about to deal with these short-sighted guys, but was stopped by Tang Jianqiu.
"A Fei, wait a minute, I don't care about these gossips. Punishing them can only be a temporary solution. Without this kind of measure and consideration, how can I hold the post of governor?
Even if you use violence to fight violence, you may not be able to convince the local people. If you make some practical criticism, it will be self-defeating.
It is human nature to resist unknown things. It is no big deal. At the moment, we must deal with various matters assigned by His Majesty. "
"What Mr. Tang said is absolutely true. This subordinate is overly worried."
For some reason, A Fei felt very pleased. This was a little different from the Zhenfu envoy he had seen before.
In the past, Tang Jianqiu was the type who would never speak even if he could use force to solve the problem, but now he chooses to convince others with virtue. He can be said to be a man, able to bend and stretch!
Tang Jianqiu could become a hero in the eyes of everyone, but he was inevitably jealous of others, including Qianhu, a member of the Jinyi Guard who always hated Tang Jianqiu;
This scene was all seen by Zhao Jingzhong, who was one of the thousand households of Jinyiwei. He clenched the tea cup in his hand angrily, wishing to crush Tang Jianqiu completely!
"Nice work!"
At that moment, he was quite jealous, with sparks of hatred shooting out of his eyes. As a royal guard, he hated Tang Jianqiu extremely.
If Lu Kui hadn't recommended him, Tang Jianqiu would never have been able to take the position of governor!
He was almost qualified to take the position, but he was already in his thirties, but he was only a member of the Imperial Guard, while Tang Jianqiu was promoted to the fourth rank at a young age. How could he not hate this?
His adoptive father had clearly promised to help him, but in the end, he only left behind a thousand households. Although this official position was not low, he wanted the respected Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu Envoy more than the thousand households who shouldered heavy responsibilities!
Zhao Jingzhong even believed that the position of governor should belong to him!
Jin Yiwei Qianhu thought to himself: "Tang Jianqiu, just wait for me! This position is only reserved for you temporarily. I will ask my adoptive father for instructions later. Be careful that the hair on your neck is not safe!"
Jinyiwei Zhao Jingzhong had made up his mind. By chance, he came to the palace and found Wei Zhongxian, who was in charge of the East Factory. He was loyal to Wei Zhongxian and had no second thoughts!
Hearing the footsteps approaching from far away, Wei Zhongxian's lips inadvertently raised a smile:
"Have you finished your character? Why do you have time to visit our house?"
Wei Zhongxian made a rare joke, he could guess who the other party was without looking back.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Jingzhong quickly bowed and clasped his fists to reply, as if he was seeing his biological father and hurried forward to show his courtesy. He was very excited in his words, fearing that he would be slighted in the slightest.
"I have been busy with work recently and have not been able to visit my adoptive father. I hope that my adoptive father will forgive me."
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian just looked back at Zhao Jingzhong who was smiling apologetically, and instantly understood what the other party meant, and said unhurriedly:
"Don't our family know you yet? You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Tell me why you came here?"
Zhao Jingzhong, a member of Qianhu of Jin Yiwei, was immediately happy when he saw the opportunity. He seemed to be impatient and stepped forward quickly:
"Father! Jingzhong is determined to get the post of governor, no matter north or south. Besides, didn't you promise to give me the post of governor?"
Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry. He calmly stood still in the water, as if he was used to it, and said slowly:
"This matter cannot be rushed. Our family did not expect Anyuan General Lu Kui to show up halfway. Jingzhong, please bear with the calm for a while, and I will leave this position to you when the time is right."
Besides, he was just thinking about it, and his nephew Fu Yingxing had not yet benefited from it.
In addition, there are his son-in-law, aunts and cousins, various relatives and even old friends who have not been entrusted with care. Now, it is difficult to achieve great things if he is so eager for success.
As if he did not expect to end up in such a situation, Zhao Jingzhong panicked for a moment and asked for instructions again and again: "But my foster father..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Zhongxian couldn't listen anymore. He just made a gesture to stop there.
"It's nothing, not to mention that our family really admires this kid Jianqiu. It's best to know how to be neither competitive nor arrogant, nor humble nor arrogant. You should learn from him on this. It would be a good thing if he could become an adopted son and be used by me!"
A calculating look flashed in Wei Zhongxian's eyes. At this moment, he was thinking about how to get Tang Jianqiu, a man who was not afraid of power, to condescend to come under his command.
What a freedom it would be if we could conquer such a person who is not afraid of violence, has an awe-inspiring righteousness, and is loyal! What a joy it must be!
"Father!"
Zhao Jingzhong was anxious. He was already worried about this matter, but now that Wei Zhongxian said such words, how could he not be anxious? Isn't this a slap in the face?
Besides, he already hated Tang Jianqiu. If Tang Jianqiu really agreed, wouldn't he become a sworn brother? He doesn't care!
"How come this is happening? This is not like you, Jingzhong. You have to keep your composure in everything. Don't make it too embarrassing. You can go back first."
"Father!"
Zhao Jingzhong planned to say something else, but he suddenly changed his mind when he met Wei Zhongxian's fierce eyes.
"This is!"
Zhao Jingzhong dared not speak out when he was angry. He could only hold back the resentment in his heart and kept cursing in his heart:
"Damn it! Tang Jianqiu, you want to compete with me for the position of Jinyiwei's governor. Even my adoptive father has a good impression of you! This matter won't just be settled like this, Tang Jianqiu! Let's wait and see!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Jingzhong left in anger, and his resentment towards Tang Jianqiu had reached its peak.
He swore that he would get rid of Tang Jianqiu when the time came!
However, Tang Jianqiu did not know what Zhao Jingzhong was thinking. He only knew that Zhao Jingzhong would defect to the eunuch party. Naturally, he did not know the specific details, but he only had a rough idea;
