Fortunate Young Gentleman

Ruyi Xiaolangjun Text Volume 573 Quzhou Chaos In the post room, Tang Ning looked at Xu Qingyang and asked, "If I remember correctly, Brother Xu should have been in the Censorate before, right?"

Xu Qingyang smiled and said, "About a year ago, I offended the powerful in the capital, and then I was transferred here to be a county magistrate."

At this time a year ago, Tang Ning was still in Chu as a marriage envoy, fighting wits and courage with the second prince of the grassland and the crown prince of Chu, and he didn't know much about what happened in the capital.

Although he had learned about the major events that happened in the capital during that period after he came back, Su Mei would definitely not care about the transfer of a minor official from the Censorate to Jiangnan, so Tang Ning didn't see this in the intelligence she collected.

Anyone who can stay in the capital after the imperial examination is better than the officials who are sent out. Xu Qingyang can stay in the Censorate to work, and his future is naturally better than being a small county magistrate in Jiangnan. The promotion process of the two is completely different.

He looked at Zhang Yansheng again and asked, "Brother Xu, did you offend the powerful? Brother Zhang, why? You were doing well in the Ministry of Works, why are you here?"

Zhang Yansheng said indignantly, "Brother Xu is an imperial censor, and he has the responsibility to supervise the powerful officials in the capital. Just because he spoke out for justice and redressed the grievances of the people, he was transferred without any distinction. What's the point of such a court? I was so angry that I asked to be transferred to Dingyang..."

Tang Ning looked at him. Xu Qingyang might have been transferred here because he offended the powerful, but he was not sure whether Zhang Yansheng was angry at the time...

After all, once or twice is a coincidence, it can't be a coincidence every time.

He forced himself to think healthily and simply, looked at Xu Qingyang, and changed the subject: "Which dignitary did you offend?"

Before Xu Qingyang opened his mouth, Zhang Yansheng immediately said: "It was Princess Yiyang. Princess Yiyang indulged her subordinates and oppressed the people. Brother Xu reported this matter to the court. His Majesty severely punished Princess Yiyang's servants and reprimanded her. Princess Yiyang held a grudge and secretly made efforts, so Brother Xu was transferred here."

Princess Yiyang was a shrew. Everyone in the capital was afraid of her. If she really wanted to make things difficult for a small official, the Ministry of Personnel would not give her this face.

Tang Ning looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, don't worry. I will help you get rid of your anger when I return to Beijing."

"Absolutely not." Xu Qingyang looked at him and said: "Although Princess Yi Yang has a bad record, she is still a princess of the royal family. If Brother Tang angers her, the consequences will be disastrous."

Tang Ning smiled and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry. I have dealt with Princess Yi Yang quite a lot."

Before leaving, he took the time to bleed Princess Yi Yang. Now she turned pale when she saw him. She was either pretending to be sick or pretending to have her period. Tang Ning was ordered to bleed, and she was the only one who had to hide from him. How could she dare to retaliate...

When Xu Qingyang saw him talking about Princess Yi Yang, his face was indifferent. He seemed to realize something in his heart and stopped talking, but the expression on his face became more complicated.

The three of them were once the top three in the Lingzhou provincial examination. Before the provincial examination, Lingzhou, whether students or people, generally believed that the champion of that time was either him or Zhang Yansheng.

But who would have thought that during the state examination, this brother Tang appeared out of nowhere and left them far behind with a gap that made people despair.

Later, when they arrived in the capital, he and Zhang Yansheng realized how high the sky was and how thick the earth was. There were so many talented people in Jiangnan and the capital, and there was still a big gap between them.

But when facing Tang Ning, the experience of the talented people in Jiangnan and the capital was exactly the same as theirs.

He was the first in the provincial examination, the first in the palace examination, the first three-point champion in more than ten years, and was newly admitted to the Hanlin Academy. He was also specially appointed to walk in the six ministries. Step by step, he has come to this day. He is the left Xiaowei Zhonglangjiang and the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, while the two of them can only live in a small county in Jiangnan, one as the county magistrate and the other as the county lieutenant, and barely get by under the suppression of the county magistrate...

Zhang Yansheng's expression was exactly the same as his. They were friends in the past, but after only two or three years, the gap has become so big, which really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Tang Ning looked at them and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, Brother Zhang, don't worry. I will transfer you back when I return to the capital this time."

Zhang Yansheng looked at him and said in surprise: "Is this possible?"

For those who grew up in the north, if they can stay in the capital, who would be willing to come to Jiangnan?

The poem only says that Jiangnan is good, but it does not say that the cockroaches in Jiangnan are bigger than those in the north. Clothes can't be dried even after hanging for half a month. The family needs more than ten sets of clothes. His salary last year was all donated to the cloth shop and tailor...

Tang Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."

The examination and transfer of officials in Jiangnan were previously under the jurisdiction of Fang Hong, the left assistant minister. As the acting assistant minister, Tang Ning, in addition to the word "acting" in his name, has even greater powers than Fang Hong before. Transferring two officials back to Beijing is just a matter of a transfer order.

Zhang Yansheng seemed to have thought of something, his face fell again, and he said: "No, if Brother Xu returns to Beijing, he will fall into the hands of Princess Yiyang. It is safer to stay here. If Brother Xu doesn't go back, I won't go back either."

Xu Qingyang said: "You go back, you can't get used to the climate in Jiangnan, or the capital is more suitable for you."

Zhang Yansheng waved his hand and said: "If you don't leave, I won't leave either."

Tang Ning stroked the goosebumps on her arms and said, "Don't worry, I won't break up your two miserable brothers... I left Princess Yiyang's fate for you brothers. When you return to the capital, you just want her to visit in person." You can apologize..."

With Chen Huang's attitude towards Jiangnan, it will definitely not be easy for local officials in Jiangnan to be promoted in the future. If the two of them stay in Jiangnan, they will probably waste their lives.

Xu Qingyang thought for a while, smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Tang."

Zhang Yansheng also clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Tang!"

Meeting old friends in a foreign country is naturally a joyful thing, especially when they meet two people at once. Tang Ning asked Chen Zhou to prepare wine and food and have a few drinks with them before the dust-free banquet in the evening.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Yansheng was already a little drunk. When he talked about the incident in Lingzhou, he hooked Xu Qingyang's neck, patted the table and said: "I knew at that time that Brother Tang is different from us, Qingyang, you Tell me if..."

Tangning looked at them, nodded slightly and said, "It's different..."

…

At the dust-washing banquet in Quzhou, the atmosphere was different from that in Ezhou.

In fact, since Ezhou, other officials of Jiangnan West Road, even the governor of a state, have been gentle and soft-spoken when talking to Xiao Zhanggu, the official department. As for the Hongmen Banquet, they have never encountered him even once.

Don't reach out to hit the smiling person. In this situation, Tangning would not go too far. As long as it was not related to money, he would turn a blind eye to some innocuous minor flaws.

Quzhou is not a big place, so if nothing happens, the exam can be over in two days.

During the banquet, Tang Ning and the governor of Ezhou made an agreement to start the assessment of the counties in Ezhou tomorrow. The governor of Ezhou made some arrangements for this. During the banquet, the guests and the host had a great time and dispersed after the banquet.

When Tang Ning returned to the inn and was about to wash up and rest, Chen Zhou knocked on the door, walked in, and said, "Sir, the governor of Quzhou wants to see you."

While at the banquet, Tang Ning noticed that the governor of Quzhou seemed to have something to say. She was not surprised at this moment, so she put on her coat and said, "Invite him in."

After a while, he looked at the Quzhou governor who came in from outside and asked, "President Sun came here late at night, but what is the important matter?"

The governor of Quzhou took something out of his sleeve and put it on the table.

Tang Ning took a look and saw an envelope on the table. The seal on the envelope was familiar to him. There was a similar pattern on the secret letter that Emperor Chen gave him.

The governor of Quzhou bowed his hand to him and said: "The news about the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River was reported to your Majesty by me. Your Majesty sent a secret letter a month ago, ordering me to cooperate with Mr. Tang to thoroughly investigate the matter. Today I finally finally Wait until Mr. Tang..."
