Chapter 145: The new year, the new governor!

After returning from Zhang Sima's house on the morning of the third day of the Chinese New Year, Tang Cheng and Li Yingwan got on the carriage without any delay and headed straight for Yunxi County.

This is the first New Year's Eve after the two got married. Li Yingwan must go back to her parents' home. Tang Cheng returned to Yunxi to accompany Li Yingwan, but his main purpose was to meet Zhao Laohu, Zhang County Magistrate and others.

After a few months of separation, Tang Cheng really thought about these people. Compared with the current environment in the state yamen, he was so comfortable when he was in the Yunxi County yamen before.

Since he had a fuss when delivering his wedding letter that day, Tang Cheng has never stepped into the door of Lao Li's house again except for having to come on the wedding day.

People are still so personal, but when Tang Cheng came back with Li Yingwan this time, compared with the wedding report, the treatment he enjoyed was a world of difference. The people from the old Li family seemed to change their faces, and the intimacy was really unspeakable.

Li Yingwan's parents were better. Li Yinggui, Li Yingsheng's brothers and their family almost made their faces laugh. They whispered a virtuous sister-in-law, which made Tang Cheng feel goosebumps all over his body.

The more they did, the more they felt that Tang Cheng felt fake. He couldn't help but think about a question in his heart. If I was unlucky again, would they change their faces? Speaking of which, it was considered a relative who was close to pretending to be faked and insincere, but the relatives of the relatives also became like this, and that was really meaningless.

Because it was awkward to stay here, after having a meal at Lao Li's house, Tang Cheng went to Zhao Laohu's house.

The fire cage was burning with a pot of sizzling hot wine, and a few more side dishes to drink with the hot wine. The two of them sat cross-legged on the couch, drinking and talking, while watching the sudden rise of snowflakes outside. Such a day would be so comfortable.

"Envoy Sun is going to Chunzhou, Lingnan?" After hearing Tang Cheng's words, Zhao Laohu sat cross-legged on the couch and shook his head and said, "Our Lord Jun is really a tumbler. A few days ago, I got the news from Daocheng. I knew that Sun Jun and Lin Baiyu were involved. Lao Zhang also said that the envoy was afraid that he would suffer this time. The best result would be to escape without hesitation. Who knew that there was new news that Lao Sun had a big face this time, Chunzhou! If I expected it, it would be just a matter of crossing. First time, the imperial court would almost cook the deposed princeling party, and he would have to get up immediately."

"New news?" Tang Cheng held a wine cup and added a full amount of money to Zhao Laohu, "What new news?"

"Don't you know?" Zhao Laohu held the wine cup and slapped, smacked his lips and said, "Isn't it that big thing for your state yamen? It is said that after Jingshi Jin's memorial was presented to the Chang'an memorial, His Majesty pointed to the name of the envoy Sun and said two words - Ability officer!"

He picked up a piece of roasted lamb leg and threw it into his mouth, then put it in a mouthful of wine. Zhao Laohu continued while eating: "Although there are many people involved in this case, the highest one is just a record officer. It is a big deal to be in Jinzhou, but when he arrives in Chang'an, he doesn't forget it. His Majesty must be because Jinzhou is close to Fangzhou, so he watched it so carefully. Unexpectedly, Sun Envoy made a fortune because of the opportunity. His Majesty must have forgotten that case, but remembered him! I was afraid that the emperor is a little soft-hearted, so he has a high evaluation of those hard-working officials and remembered it with a firm memory."

At this point, Zhao Laohu put down the wine cup in his hand, "Hey! Your Majesty promised to be a 'capable person'. With these two words, it is more valuable than the five "Excellent" exams of the Ministry of Personnel! What are these two words? It is the reason for promotion. As you say, he has a new backer with Shangguan Zhaorong. With the excuse and a new backer, we are only in our forties, and our future is unlimited!"

Zhao Laohu's words made Tang Cheng fight like a story. Unexpectedly, Sun Envoy really went to Datian to listen to a corruption case in the Jinzhou Prefecture Office. He was the one who worked the most vigorously, but who would have thought that the one who benefited the most in the end was Lao Sun.

Even someone as smart as Zhao Laohu thought that Sun Envoy had just encountered the great fortune, but Tang Cheng clearly knew that this was the result of Lao Sun's deliberate work.

For Tang Cheng, seeking the greatest benefit from the worst result is a move made by Sun Envoy, who has already fallen into the phoenix, is simply a living case. Who among the people in the yamen can guarantee that they will not be unlucky? It is simply a trick to seek survival in death!

While siping the hot wine, he recalled the whole thing again. Tang Cheng's reaction to Sun Jun's fast reaction that day and his decisive behavior after making decisions, he gained a new understanding of his new understanding.

Then the two of them talked about something about the Yunxi County Government. Regarding Tang Cheng's question, Zhao Laohu smiled and said, "What are you going to fight for with County Magistrate Zhang? People, you have to look forward to the long term. He is only in his early thirties this year. How old is I? Even if I win for a moment, what if I have such a mortal hatred, I will be sad in the future! I helped you before the New Year, and I made a fortune in the tung oil business, and I also pointed out that I enjoyed it after retiring. Don't worry, your uncle is always old, but I am not confused."

"How old is the fourth uncle, just say this? If Lian Po is over 70 years old, you can still command the army and fight, here and there." Tang Cheng smiled and added wine to Zhao Laohu. If he had such an idea, Tang Cheng would have completely let go of his mind. Once Sun Jun left, he would have no trust in his power, he would have to come from below. Yunxi County is a base for him. If this base is in chaos, it would be really no longer reliable.

Tang Cheng didn't say much about Zhao Laohu, and there was no need to say much about it. The two of them are now relatives, but also have a sense of being close to each other, and have interests and entanglements. Whenever he needs help, Zhao Laohu must be reliable. Some words are said in front of the closest relatives, which makes them seem reckless.

After meeting Zhao Laohu, Tang Cheng visited the magistrate Zhang County and Lin Xuezheng the next day. After meeting, they were very intimate. Tang Cheng did not hide it when he talked to them. In fact, there was nothing to hide from him. Yao Dongqi's affairs, Zhang County Magistrate Zhang and Lin Xuezheng were participants and the main beneficiaries. As for the dispute between Wenhui, it had long been spread throughout the counties in Jinzhou. Ordinary people may not know. Zhang and Lin were both an official and a local leader of the scholar-in-law, so there was no reason they didn't know.

While drinking and talking, Tang Cheng tactfully revealed that if he wanted to leverage his strength in the future, he would ask the two commanders to take care of him. Since he was facing a common enemy and had a good impression of him, Lin and the two of them would not refuse. After the banquet was over. When Zhang County Magistrate sent Tang Cheng out, he patted his shoulder with a slightly drunk feeling and said, "If it is really hard for the state yamen to stay, you will come back. If you follow me, Ma Dongyang is not a governor after all. Even if he finds too much for the county yamen, he can still protect you."

Compared with Zhao Laohu and Sun Envoy, although County Magistrate Zhang was not so scheming, he was even more scholarly. Tang Chengzhen was grateful for this from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, County Magistrate."

Then he visited a series of people, from the old monk Chengning in Wanfu Temple to the county magistrate Zhang Ziwen and Zhang Xiangwen's parents. During this period, Tang Cheng also went back to his hometown. Although he mainly gave New Year gifts to Mr. Yan, Liu Sanneng did not leave anywhere.

After walking this circle, three or four days passed. Seeing that the yamen was about to open, Tang Cheng did not delay any longer and returned to Jinzhou with Zhang Xiangwen.

The boudoir sits with a knife, and the people cut new things every day. The leaves are aphrodisiac, and the flowers are sent to the spring. Caicheng asks the husband, where is the real thing?

The seventh day of the first lunar month in the Tang Dynasty was the "Manday" Festival. Every time, people were cut ribbons and made people. They were either carved with gold foil. After cutting it, they were put on the screen in the house or worn on their heads and temples. It was called "Manday Win".

Rendan was a major festival in the Tang Dynasty, which was similar to the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival in later generations. Therefore, the time for opening the yamen every year is set on the eighth day of the first lunar month after Rendan Festival.

It was said that it was the opening of the yamen. In fact, the Tang Dynasty was the same as in later generations. Before the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the people in the yamen were unable to settle down and do business. Some time ago, Tang Cheng was busy giving New Year gifts to others. After the opening of the yamen, it was his turn to come and go. Needless to say, the people from Sitian Cao had to come here, because the Zhang family and the Zhang family were now in his house, so relatives such as Zhang Xiangwen and Baocheng were also forced to give New Year gifts.

In this way, from the eighth day of the lunar month to the thirteenth day of the first lunar month two days before the Lantern Festival, Tang Cheng's family has never stopped guests in these five days. They have come one after another. Seeing that the posture is really crowded, the neighbors point at the Tang family in an envious tone and said, "I didn't see that the Tang family is so prosperous that they are not so popular."

There are many guests, Tang Cheng is busy accompanying the male guests, while Li Yingwan is busy receiving female guests who come with him. He meets people every day and every day. Li Yingwan's face is not tired at all, but her face is blushing and never stops smiling.

Alas! I was lonely and cold for so long a few years ago, and I was regarded as a poisonous widow to avoid the plague and hid for so long. Now that my wife is honored by her husband, Li Yingwan really enjoys such prosperity and the attentive and attentive intentions of those female guests in front of her.

Even the Zhang couple in the Tang Dynasty were not idle. Knowing that they were two, who would not come to the Tang family to greet him and say a few auspicious words? They sat in the middle hall wearing new clothes, looking at so many decent people who had never dared to look at him before, the Zhang couple in the Tang Dynasty, from the beginning to the naturalness of their nature, the whole journey of their mental journey could not be described by writing.

A person carries the hope of a family, carries the dignity and honor of his family. In this regard, Tang Cheng must also ensure that he cannot have any problems, otherwise, this family that has just improved will be reborn, or even permanently sink.

On the three days of the Lantern Festival, the imperial capital Chang'an was Jinwu. The imperial city was opened. The emperor and the emperor, along with the empress and civil and military officials, climbed to the palace city tower to watch the lanterns and celebrated with the people. The government offices outside Chang'an were on holiday for three days to enjoy the emperor's kindness.

As the bells of the yamen rang out on the morning of the 17th day of the first lunar month, the Jinzhou Government Office officially ushered in a new year. On this day, Sun Envoy went through the various yamen and said a brief farewell, and left the southern gate of Jinzhou and headed for Chunzhou.

On this day, Sun Envoy exercised his rights for the last time and released Feng Haizhou, who had been imprisoned for two months, from prison. On that day, Censor Jin still sold his face. In addition, Feng Haizhou's own corruption case was extremely light, so his name was not included in the submitted memorials and documents.

Compared with Feng Haizhou cited by Tang Cheng, the others involved in this fraud case were much more miserable. On the same day on the 17th day of the first lunar month, they were officially escorted to Daocheng. After all, this was a case that shocked Shengting and personally criticized by the imperial pen. Their final outcome was far beyond the scope of the Jinzhou Prefecture Office. We can only wait until the new observer takes office before he can see what he means.

On the night of the 17th day of the first lunar month, Si Tian Cao's original yamen gathering temporarily turned into Feng Haizhou's feast. During the banquet, Feng Haizhou was naturally grateful to Tang Cheng. Even those other swords and pens witnessed that Tang Cheng still protected Feng Haizhou in such a case that alarmed Shengting, and they also felt their own feelings.

After working in the yamen for so many years, it is really not easy to meet such a responsible and willing to take responsibility for his subordinates!

For a moment, Tang Cheng's position in the hearts of his subordinates was one step further. After those calm actions before the New Year and the incident of Feng Haizhou, Sitian Cao in the new year was extremely united.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Tang Cheng felt a lot more relieved. Although Sun Envoy left today, in the days before he left, he finally solidly consolidated the foundation of the rear. In this way, he at least no longer had to worry about the fire in the backyard that would be attacked from both sides when fighting in front of him. Even when he really wanted to do something, someone could use it and it was powerful to borrow it.

It was also during this banquet that someone mentioned a "interesting news". It is said that the atmosphere of the Biejia Mansion in the New Year was very bad. The Biejia himself never smiled, especially after hearing that His Majesty actually praised Sun Envoy as a "capable officer" and was about to be transferred to the governor of Chunzhou, Ma Bojia was furious and used himself for more than 20 years and washed his pen that cherished Ruobao.
