Chapter 644 Return to Beijing (1)
Back at Zuolei Camp in Luxiang, he read out the decree copied in Wulidun Camp, and at the same time rewarded the remaining knives, scythes and purses to the group brave who killed the thieves.
The group brave men in the two trenches inside and outside were in full joy. Pan Er, Chen Zhankui, Chen Tianru, Zhang Biao, Li Tianbao and others were not happy, and they all squeezed into the "coach tent" and listened to Han Xiufeng's explanation of where to go in the future.
"Shi Zhen and Xu Jiu went to Beijing with me. There are not many personal guards accompanying me. I plan to draw ten brothers from the firearm group and then five people from the left and right second battalions. Zhang Biao, I have to bring ten guns, and I will write to them on Jiang Zonghai and Guan Yunzhong."
"Mr. Han, let alone draw ten brothers, even if you draw ten more, Master Jiang and Mr. Guan will not say anything!"
"They don't know, but I can't help but know."
Han Xiufeng smiled and continued, "I have already agreed with Lord Hu that he will not only not treat you as an outsider, but will also take care of you. However, at most, he can only draw ten brothers from the camp to stay and serve together. Other brothers have to go back and can't just go for promotion and wealth, even if he doesn't want his hometown."
"Mr. Han, Hubei is now the world of Hunanese people. It is difficult for us Sichuan people to stand out here. Besides, we were here this time to bring our brothers to see the hairy. Now that we have seen it, it is time to go back. Anyway, I don't plan to stay in Hubei to serve." Li Tianbao couldn't help but say.
"Okay, if you want to go back, you can go back, but you can only go back to Badong first. After all, the emperor ordered my Sichuan East regiment to help with the suppression. You have to wait until Lord Hu defeated Wuchang and you can return to Ba County."
"It's okay to go back to Badong first, we will listen to you."
"Zhankui, Tianru, where are you?"
Chen Zhankui originally planned to take this opportunity to get a job, but he thought that Qian Junchen not only died in battle, but even more than 300 brothers he brought from his hometown were killed in battle. He said without hesitation: "I'll go back too, it's good to go back to organize a group training."
Seeing that Chen Zhankui was planning to return to Ba County, Chen Tianru hesitated and looked up and said, "Mr. Han, I want to stay in Hubei to take a try, but I don't know what errand can be done."
"As long as you try your best, it is easy to make achievements. If you want to be careful, I will recommend you to work with Bao Chao. He and us are also fellow townsmen, and will definitely take care of you."
"Thank you for your support!"
"It's all my own, don't be embarrassed, decide whether to go or stay."
Han Xiufeng paused and then said, "Xu Jiu, hurry up and select the people who come to Beijing with us. After we have chosen, we will leave. Changsheng, let you leave the matter here. Li Xubin will send someone to change defense tomorrow morning. After you send your brothers back to Badong, you will go to Wulidun Camp to pay homage to Mr. Hu's friend Wang Jiabi. He is the general manager of the Donation Transport Bureau. He will explain to you about setting up a branch when you return to Ba County."
"Don't worry, Brother Fourth, I will make arrangements for the brothers outside."
...
At the same time, Hu Daren and Yan Shusen had already taken Cheng Yi to Luxiang under the order of Hu Linyi.
The group heroes said that Han Xiufeng was doing official duties to the group leaders. He did not want to delay Han Xiufeng from doing the official business, so he simply found a clean place to sit down and wait. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, several group heroes gathered around and happily asked what official Shaoqing of Taipu Temple was.
"You should have heard of the six ministries and nine ministers," Yan Shusen took the water that bravely helped him to bring, and explained with a smile: "If the previous dynasty is put on the previous dynasty, the six ministries, the chief censor of the Censorate, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and the envoy of the Tongzhengsi will be the Dajiu; the Minister of the Taichang Temple, the Minister of the Taipu Temple, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, the Minister of the Hanlin Scholar, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, the Minister of the Imperial College, the Minister of the Imperial College, the Minister of the Yuanma Temple, and the Minister of the Shangbao Temple will be the Xiaojiu, and the Minister of the Taipu Temple will be the Xiaojiu, and the Shaojiu of the Taipu Temple will be only a little worse than the Xiaojiu."
"Master Yan, where is my Qing Dynasty?" A Tuan Yong couldn't help asking.
"What officials do the Great Nine Ministers of the Qing Dynasty refer to? Because there are different opinions on the Internal Affairs Office, Lifan Yuan and Eight Banners and the Eight Banners General Office. But Xiao Nine Ministers understand very well, generally refer to the Minister of the Zongren Mansion, Zhan Shishi, Taichang Temple, Taipu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Imperial College, Shuntian Palace, and Zuochunfang. Lord Han now lives in the Shaoqing Temple, which is a little worse than Xiao Nine Ministers."
"Then can we Lord Han become Xiao Jiuqing in the future?"
"As far as I know, as long as you don't make any mistakes in office, it will be a matter of time before you can be promoted to Xiao Jiuqing."
"What kind of rank is Xiao Jiuqing?"
"There are four grades and three grades."
"If Lord Han becomes the third-rank Xiao Jiuqing, then how can he be more important than Lord Duan?"
Yan Shusen asked with a smile: "You mean Duan Dazhang and Lord Duan, are you?"
"Well, it's Lord Duan from our Ba County!"
"This is not a big deal, because one is an official in Beijing and the other is an official in the foreign affairs. However, according to the rules, the governor's general is usually appointed as the fourth-rank candidate for the Jingtang. After being a young minister of the Taipu Temple like Lord Han for a year and a half, he can only be promoted to the position of the deputy envoy of the Tongzheng Department." Yan Shusen smiled and added: "The mansion report a few days ago said that the emperor ordered our Sichuan governor Yang Pei to return to Beijing to be appointed as the fourth-rank candidate for the Jingtang."
"Mr. Yan, as you said, Lord Duan's official position is not as good as our Lord Han?"
"You can't say that, after all, there is still a difference between Beijing officials and foreign officials."
"Beijing officials are one level older than foreign officials?"
"It's not that the Beijing officials are one level older than the foreign officials, but that there are too many Beijing officials and there are not so many lacking in Beijing, so it can't be compensated."
...
Wu Zhongyi and Wu Zhonggan had just received the news that Han Xiufeng was promoted to Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, and had just asked Li Xubin's friends about what official position was.
I don’t know if I don’t ask, but I’m shocked when I ask.
It turns out that although Shaoqing in Taipu Temple is only a fourth-rank official in charge of the horse farm, he is actually not only in charge of the horse farm, but also a close minister of the emperor!
Thinking that Han Si has not only been promoted to Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, but will continue to be a "little military machine" after returning to Beijing, Wu Zhong felt that it would be difficult to become an official who was bigger than Han Si by just trying to fight for military merits. He wanted to rely on "one-level official to crush people to death" to help his elder brother with no hope. He said gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, his lord is getting bigger and bigger. If we miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to help his elder brother in the future."
"What can we do to him? We are not civil servants, and we can't even impeach if we want to submit a memorandum."
"Even if you are a civil servant, even if you can get a memorial, it's useless. Those high-ranking officials have never been impeached. I heard that even Lord Hu has been impeached and has been scolded by the emperor, but Lord Hu is still the same as the governor."
"What do you think you should do?"
"In the past, he was a local snake with all his hands and eyes. He wanted money and people, so he dared to bully people with power. But this is not Ba County, this is Hubei, we are the local snake!"
"Are you talking about it on his way to the capital?" Wu Zhongyi asked with a close eye on him.
Wu Zhong clenched his fists and said, "This army is in chaos, with defeated soldiers everywhere and bandits everywhere. If he died on the way to the capital, the court would have no way to investigate even if he wanted to investigate!"
Wu Zhongyi didn't want to miss this opportunity, nor did he want to implicate his wife, children, and said in a deep thought: "If he didn't know that we were here, it would be nice if he was not prepared. But he knew that we were here, it would be impossible for him to be unprepared. Maybe he would set up a trap and wait for us to get inside."
"But if you miss this, you will really have no chance in the future. Second brother, do you believe his nonsense?"
"I don't believe a word of him."
"That's it!"
"Third brother, I know you want to help your elder brother revenge, but why don't I think about it? But we can't just think about taking revenge. If the revenge is not achieved, we will just take it in first!"
Wu Zhongyi thought that you must be an official, your courage has become smaller, and you don’t want to do anything for your glory and wealth, and you don’t dare to avenge your elder brother. You simply pretended to be very convinced, but secretly wondered how many brothers you arranged, what excuses to intercept them quietly.
Han Xiufeng, who had just explained the affairs of the group heroes to Pan Er and others, was talking to Hu Daren and Yan Shusen, knew that the Wu brothers would not give up.
With the enemy in front of him, Han Xiufeng really doesn't want to take this opportunity to get into trouble and do something that the relatives are sore and hates, and he doesn't want to make the enemy deeper and deeper. He simply said bluntly: "I'm not afraid of the two jokes. Wu Zhongyi, the Wu Zhongyi, under Lord Li Xubin, and the brothers of Wu Zhong, have a bit of a misunderstanding with Xiufeng before serving the court. Moreover, this misunderstanding is quite large. Xiufeng guesses that they won't watch Xiufeng go to Beijing to take office like this."
Hu Daren was shocked: "Mr. Han, why did you have any misunderstandings with them?"
Han Xiufeng said lightly: "It happened many years ago and I can't explain it clearly for a while. Xiufeng just wants to ask you if you can think of a way to make them feel at ease. If you don't have a perfect solution, Xiufeng can only find a way by himself. But in this way, Li Xubin will not only not be happy, but may even be implicated."
Hu Daren realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir, this matter is left to Daren. If the Wu brothers dare to act rashly, you should ask me!"
Han Xiufeng took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then said, "The emperor ordered Xiufeng to return to Beijing immediately, and Xiufeng would have to set off tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Let's go and do the big responsibilities now, and it will never delay the adults' appointment!"
"Okay, Xiufeng is waiting for the good news for me."
Thinking of Qiu Ba's being able to do anything, Hu Daren and Yan Shusen did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and said goodbye to find Li Xubin. Looking at their departure backs, Liu Shanyang couldn't help but remind: "Ambition, it's better to seek others than to seek others in this kind of thing!"
Han Xiufeng packed up his things and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although my Han Xiufeng's life is not as precious as Hu Linyi, if I die in Hubei, not to mention Hu Linyi will be unlucky, even Guan Wen will be in great trouble."
"Zhixing, you mean..."
"The emperor has never seen Hu Linyi, nor Guan Wen. He must have thought that after I return to Beijing, he would ask what kind of person Hu Linyi and Guan Wen were. And Hu Linyi could think of this, even Guan Wen's fool knew in his heart, so I couldn't have something wrong. If something happened to me, the emperor would definitely wonder if they didn't dare to let me return to Beijing alive."
