Chapter 542.
Yilungha only laughed, under the clanging and clanking sound of the railroad tracks rubbing together, but still carefully fetched water and poured Zhang Anshi a cup of tea.
Only then did he say with a smile, “When people live in the world, they may not all have to be like Your Highness, who has all the skills.”
He paused and continued, “In fact, the vast majority of people in this world, as long as they have a craft, it is enough to settle down. We ah …… actually, to put it bluntly, at the side of His Majesty, only do this one thing, as for the others, it is rather secondary.”
Zhang Anshi laughed, “I see that the eunuch’s other skills are not small either.”
He laughed dryly, “This is a pity for us, it’s not about the size of the skill, we are not a minister, not even a general, we are just a slave girl, why do we need so many skills? In this palace, when it comes to skill, there are many people who are better than us, but the one who serves by His Majesty’s side, isn’t it still us?”
Here, he looked up at Zhang Anshi: “But your highness is different, you are really rely on the ability to get his majesty’s trust, his majesty relies on, is your ability! Take this steam locomotive as an example, ah ah ah ah, we sit on the top of this, the heart is really afraid of tight, but after this fear, but also admiration.”
“You say this thing …… it relies on burning coal, actually can move by itself, with so many of us, hundreds of miles a day, this is really think all dare not think of things, but on the contrary, Your Highness even drummed up, even if it is Kong Ming again, the legendary wooden oxen and horses, in front of Your Highness this steam locomotive, but also To be inferior.”
Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Where, where.”
The two of them bragged about each other for a while, and Yizhuha went to see Zhu Di with the tea, and when he came back, Yizhuha said, “His Majesty invites you to an audience.”
Zhang Anshi nodded and then came to Zhu’s compartment.
Zhu was currently leaning against this large sofa fixed in the carriage, holding a tea cup, the carriage was shaking, but his hand holding the tea cup was steady.
Zhu leaned against the cushion, his eyes half-open, half-closed, seemingly thinking about something.
Zhang Anshi only gently said, “Your Majesty ……”
Zhu nodded and looked up at him, “When will you arrive?”
“It should be early tomorrow morning.”
Zhu Di revealed a smile and said, “Not slow, a thousand miles, but a day and a night more work.”
Zhang Anshi then smiled and said, “Why don’t Your Majesty take a nap, and when you wake up, you’ll be at the station.”
Zhu Di shook his head, “I can’t sleep a little, my heart is still thinking about the Raozhou station, hey ……”
When he said this, the smile on his face immediately converged and was replaced with a few depressing colors.
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty really has a lot of work to do in a day’s work, and this mere dispute between the Railway Division and the local governor’s office …… has already caused Your Majesty to be like this …… Now that there are so many things going on in the whole world like this… …”
Zhu Di is slanting a glance at him and said, “I want to be …… my silver spent worth it or not.”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Well, His Majesty is still His Majesty.
Zhu Di breathed out, “How do you feel about the matter in the zhangshi?”
Without hesitation, Zhang Anshi said, “Since it is impartial.”
Zhu Di gave Zhang Anshi a strange look and said, “I would have thought that you would be biased.”
Zhu Di said, smiled and waved his hand, “How is Hu Guang?”
At the mention of Hu Guang, the relief on Zhang Anshi’s face also faded. He also had a son, and since he could understand Hu Guang’s mood.
“He is a man of few words, and the minister …… is not in a position to say anything.”
Zhu Di nodded, “His son, how could he be an official in the Railroad Division?”
Zhang Anshi said: “is the minister persuaded him, said the royal grandson wants to make a difference in jiangxi, please hu family support, his brain is hot, then teach the family’s sons and daughters all in the railroad division to serve.”
Zhu sighed, “This is the loyal and honest man.”
Zhang Anshi said, “I …… also ……”
Zhu Di hmmmed, “Go down, take a good rest, when we get to Raozhou, there’s still a lot of busy work to be done.”
Zhang Anshi excused himself.
Early morning dawn, when the first rays of a new day’s sunshine spread over the land ……
The steam locomotive slowly entered the platform.
Here, too, it was more than an hour in advance, and only when the steam locomotive had stopped at the first two stations did we learn of the arrival of the Holy Spirit.
Thus, the governor of Raozhou, together with his colleagues and judges, came in a hurry to receive the driver.
Along with them, there was also the station master of Raozhou station, as well as the lower station chancellor, the chief bookkeeper and so on.
At this time, the mist has not yet cleared, but this platform has long been a sea of people.
Zhu got off the car, tiger eyes sweeping a glance, the crowd have bowed down.
Zhu Di only cold face, did not say a word, also do not pay attention.
Only Chen Jia, the stationmaster of Raozhou Station, stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty is saddled with a lot of work, please rest for a moment or two on the line first.”
Zhu pursed his lips and did not object.
When people came to Raozhou, he was instead in no hurry.
So they were accompanied by a vast number of people, and stayed only at one of the inns around Raozhou Station.
This inn was obviously operated by the Raozhou station, and because it was a new building, Zhu checked in and was immediately guarded by a team of inspectors outside.
This Chen Jia’s heart at this time is panicking, after all, have not seen such a big battle, and see is not good, the heart of the natural seven up and down, at once, secretly came to see Zhang Anshi.
“Your Highness ……”
With a chill in his eyes, Zhang Anshi said with a stern face, “You guys did this.”
“This ……” Chen Jia’s face turned a little pale, and her heart panicked even more.
Zhang Anshi said, “His Majesty has come here to investigate the dispute over the railroad division, and will decide the rights and wrongs! When His Majesty asks, you can answer truthfully, and don’t make a fuss about what is right and what is wrong, got it?”
Chen Jia just slightly relieved, bitterly said, “This matter is really ……”
Zhang Anshi didn’t want to listen to his nonsense that didn’t serve much purpose, and waved his hand, “Don’t come and talk to the king, it’s useless to give the king a word, after his majesty has rested, go and speak to his majesty.”
Chen Jia had to say, “Yes.”
Zhang Anshi added, “How are the injured people now?”
“Still in medical treatment, the situation, quite a few critical, but …… His Royal Highness the grandson, urgently deployed from Nanchang station to a few saintly hands, there should not be any accidents.”
Zhang Anshi said, “People must be preserved by all means, and other …… things are trivial.”
See this Chen Jia apprehensive, Zhang Anshi will face easing down, and comfort a few words: “have reason to go all over the world, no reason to move, if there is really any aggrieved, do not have to be afraid, how to how. Don’t worry, no one can wrongly accuse to your head.”
Chen Jia said yes in a hurry.
Zhang Anshi carried his hands, and suddenly smiled, “Then what are the people …… of Raozhoufu doing at this time?”
“Ah ……,” Chen Jia froze, a bit unable to find her flavor for a moment.
Zhang Anshi, however, waved his hand without saying anything else.
The reason why Zhang Anshi asked about Raozhoufu seemed to have guessed their movements.
In fact, the governor of Raozhou Prefecture, Chen Fu, as well as the two co-counselors, Wang Yan, have also begun to be apprehensive.
Only, Raozhou station people, seeking Zhang Anshi to probe the mouth, and for them, obviously …… but also need to ask someone to mediate.
The only one they could seek out seemed to be Hu Guang, the university scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion, who had accompanied them.
Hu Guang was physically and mentally exhausted, and after getting out of the car, he had actually wanted to poke around.
It was a pity that no one up and down the Raozhou station paid any attention to him, and when they had settled His Majesty, they followed Zhang Anshi’s side in a swarm.
He wanted to go up and ask, but he felt that it was not appropriate, after all, the personnel of the Railway Department, itself, for the Wen Yuan Pavilion University scholar, or the people in the Temple Hall are wary of.
Just when Hu Guang was anxious and lost, someone sought him out.
“Hu Gong ……”
Hu Guang, on the other hand, did not show any emotion, or rather, at this time, he no longer knew what way to respond.
Governor Chen Jia said:” Hu Gong nobleman much forgetfulness, the next official …… is Yongle seven years jinshi, then …… Princess Hu exam …… ”
Hu Guang only nodded his head and said, “The old man is slightly impressed.”
Chen Jia looked slightly relieved, then said: “the next official bad luck, can not stay in the capital, therefore, exiled first for the county magistrate, now joining the governor of Raozhou. Jiangxi is the place where the literary spirit is gathered, can come here to Raozhou to take office, the next official is also satisfied.”
Hu Guang said, “Is that so?”
“Hu Gong is more famous in the dynasty, Jiangxi up and down, who has not spread Hu Gong’s great name. But the next official …… heard something …… something ……”
Hu Guang raised his eyebrows and said, “What is it?”
Chen Jia looked stumped, and was not sure if she should say anything, or if she should engage in further probing.
Readers deal with, is so, first to report their own name, and then look, each other whether there has been a teacher-student, the same year, the old relationship, and then further test each other’s situation, and ultimately then decide what they should say.
But now Chen Jia, quite a bit of urgency, thought about it, or said, “I heard that Hu Gong in the dynasty, a lone hand.”
Hu Guang’s eyebrows were raised and he said coldly, “What kind of words are these?”
Chen Jia hesitated for a moment and said, “It is all rumors in the streets, and I heard that …… Hu Gong is not in favor of the new government, just …… forced to do so. This time the railroad division into Jiangxi, Hu Gong did not favor, but …… some people hope that Hu Gong can make an example, and even asked Hu Gong …… s clan to be a mandarin, I do not know if there can be this matter?”
Chen Jia said, revealing a look of regret.
Hu Guang is a university scholar of Wen Yuan Ge, the son of such a person, was arranged as a mandarin, it is simply a strange shame, in exchange for anyone, is never acceptable.
Chen Jia carefully observed Hu Guang’s face.
However, he saw that Hu Guang’s face was as pale as paper, just like a dead person.
Chen Jia’s heart is slightly fixed, he seems to have expected, his words, may have a strange effect, the party still with a few points of apprehension heart, seems to have a few points of the bottom of the air all of a sudden.
So he lamented, “If a university scholar like Duke Hu is still like this, then a person like my humble servant really deserves to die without a burial place.”
Hu Guang frowned and stared at him, but with a stern face, “What exactly do you want to say?”
Chen Jia busy said: “Hu Gong, the railroad division since the Raozhou, this Raozhou up and down, the lives of the people ah, but this involves the grandson after all, we are the arm of the leg, even if there is dissatisfaction, but there is nothing we can do, but this kind of thing, tolerate for a while, but a year down, really teach people to tolerate it, and then tolerate it, I do not know how many people, to be broken and dead. ”
After a pause, he went on to say, “Because of this …… this time there is this dispute, just never thought that, but because of this dispute, it has made a mess to the point of reaching heaven.”
Hu Guang said, “Can’t stand it? Then what have you done?”
Hu Guang at this time can not help but feel that this person in front of him is ridiculous to the extreme, but also did not show half, only eyes with cold light, waiting to hear the following.
Chen Jia was silent at this time, and seemed to be hesitating as well.
Instead, behind him, co-conspirator Wang Yan, probably really anxious, can not help but step forward, but hurriedly said: “did not do anything, is the railroad division of the people, pushing people too far, they colluded with the unruly people, seduced many of the people to go to the railroad division to settle down.”
“But Hu Gong you think about it, this place, whether it is farming or water conservancy, all need manpower, no one, can teach people how to live? So at first there were people ……”
Chen Jia, who was on the side, was busy coughing desperately.
Only then did Wang Yan stop talking.
Hu Guang still had a cold face and said, “If you guys refuse to tell the truth, do you still want to wait for His Majesty and the Brocade Guards to investigate thoroughly? Well, then you guys continue to cover it up ……”
Chen Jia is still waiting for Hu Guang to loosen his mouth, which can give up on this, so he quickly said, “Hu Gong …… and other people of the next official, at this time need to rely on Hu Gong.”
Hu Guang only said, “Then what are you trying to hide?”
“My humble servant does not dare to hide.” Chen Jia thought for a moment and said, “Hey, the truth is, it is because of the party’s conflict, so it triggered a fight, some local good gentry were indignant, thus the armed fight, this kind of thing is like this, once the war is started, it doesn’t end so easily. The next official as governor, since to do for the local side of the people, if not, is not a corpse?”
“Naturally, the next official also broken dare not, openly confrontation with His Royal Highness the grandson of the emperor, indeed in the secret to the local good people to give a helping hand, but the other, but do not dare to make a mistake. Just …… just ……”
Hu Guang said, “Just what?”
“It’s just that the good local people, who are really indignant, set up a game.”
“……”
“Deliberately invited this Division of Railroads, in the name of mediation, to the capital city, and after ……”
Hu Guang interjected, “And after that you made your move?”
“It’s not the next official who does it, it’s …… the good people down below ……”
The cold light in Hu Guang’s eyes intensified a few points, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Why are you doing this?”
Chen Jia laughed bitterly: “If you do not give a lesson, then …… Raozhoufu, there is really no one ah. Not to mention that these local good people, need to rely on manpower to maintain life, which once no one, all industries are also depressed, even if it is the next official, the court to measure the officials, is the money and food and population, can Rao state government, this year’s population fell so much this year, the money and food can be paid, but also compared to the previous year last year at least plummeted by seven or eight percent, the official …… can What can I do? This railroad division people, is to be under the official, rack in the frying pan cooking, under the official …… hey ……”
He shook his head, sighed and said, “The next official will not be able to finish the money and grain from the Ministry of Revenue this year, and will have to be dismissed from his post, instead of doing so, it would be better to do what he can for the people in the area.”
Hu Guang pursed his lower lip and said, “How many people were injured?”
Chen Jia hurriedly said, “There are seven or eight, don’t worry, my humble servant has checked, almost all of them are clerical officials of the Railway Division, the kind that can’t get on the stage, but my humble servant didn’t expect them to be so petty.”
Hu Guang at this time has been angry seven smoke, but then see this Chen Jia, a chagrin look, but his chagrin, but not because of the injured, but in, such a little thing, even to the point of His Majesty’s personal presence.
So Hu Guang looked at him coldly and said, “Have you not thought about how it should end? If you had known it would come to this, why did you have to start in the first place.”
Chen Jia smiled bitterly, looked at Hu Guang with prayerful eyes and said, “So this time, only begged to Hu Gong head. Hu Gong, we all for the Sacred Learning disciples, the next official took off his black hat, is secondary, but the good people up and down the Rao State …… please Hu Gong give a helping hand.”
Hu Guang, however, said in a cold voice: “His Majesty has his own holy judgment, the facts are all there, I can’t say anything.”
Chen Jia and that Wang Yan looked at each other.
They would obviously have expected that Hu Guang must have been the brightest of the brightest.
Therefore, Chen Jia set his mind, but not too fast and not too slow, said: “In fact, …… there is a way, just …… this need to be Hu Gong can be beautiful words, if Hu Gong can help one or two, then Hu Gong in Raozhou up and down the officials and the people in terms of If Hu Gong can help one or two, then Hu Gong in Raozhou up and down the officials and people, is the regeneration of parents, the same as the grace again.”
Hu Guang laughed coldly, but did not retort, only saying, “What method?”
Chen Jia thought about it and seemed to think that right now, he could only pin it on Hu Guang.
So he slowly said: “that some clerical officials, appeared in the capital city, although beforehand was invited to mediate, but then did not have a text, no text, even if there is no real evidence. So the next official, this side did a few things, one: please bite the bullet, they to the capital city, never official business.”
“Secondly, after they arrived in the capital city …… they were arrogant and domineering, and they were rampant, which caused public anger.”
“Third, in the course of the dispute, they uttered treacherous words, and even …… even threatened that the imperial grandson was their backer, and that they were the Son of Heaven on the ground of this Raozhou Prefecture.”
At these words, Hu Guang shivered violently.
Chen Jia didn’t seem to be able to see the sudden change of color on Hu Guang’s face, but smiled and said, “Lord Hu. As long as these three things are confirmed, even if His Royal Highness the Emperor’s Sun himself comes, he will definitely not take sides with them, but will instead have to clean up his family.”
Hu Guang silently eased his breath before sneering, “Do you guys say what you want?”
Chen Jia said: “This is where the problem lies, all the witnesses and material evidence, the next official have been arranged properly, there are also a number of good people in this house, willing to testify to expose, just …… just …… the next official and the local good people, after all. After all, people micro words light, and so the saint to ruling time, if someone around can for the next official people, etc. beautiful words, then the matter …… can be completely sit down.”
Said, Chen Jia pitifully looked at Hu Guang, and then even shed tears, said: “Hu Gong, please Hu Gong can Raozhou life as a thought. This place, after all, is also regarded as Hu Gong hometown, skin does not exist Mao will attach, today is Raozhou, tomorrow …… such as Raozhou general downfall, is the Ji state government.”
