Ming politicians

Su Tiancheng had a month and a half to visit relatives, that is to say, he had to rush to Jiangning County under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu in Nanzhili to take up his post before May [-]th.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Su Tianhao couldn't wait to speak.

"Third brother, when will you go to the Imperial Academy, I want to follow along to see."

"I will not go to the Imperial Academy."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"I have been released to Jiangning County under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion, and I have been appointed as the county magistrate."

Su Tianhao looked at Su Tiancheng, and was speechless for a moment. He had thought that Su Tiancheng had entered the Imperial Academy and could take care of himself. Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng was sent to the county.Although Jiangning County is a Gyeonggi County, and the magistrate is also a sixth-rank rank, it is far away from the capital after all.

"Brother, I'm leaving the capital tomorrow. You are alone in the capital, so take care."

Su Tianhao nodded numbly, he really couldn't figure out why.

Su Tianhao left the inn and would not follow him back to Taiyuan Mansion, Su Tiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to stay in the capital anymore, and there was no need to stay. He went back earlier and made the necessary arrangements. The long march of thousands of miles has just started the first step. From now on, he will take every step steadily.

"Master, Master Xu is here."

"Oh, please, wait, I'll go out to meet you."

As soon as Xu Er looked at Su Tiancheng, he didn't speak for a long time.

"Master Su, we are all appointed officials by the imperial court, and I dare not claim to be your mentor anymore, but I remember your poems, there are talents from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years, it's great Damo, I believe in you, wait and see. Although I claim to be free and easy, compared with you, the gap is not small. If I have the opportunity to come to the capital in the future, don’t forget me. We still drink with tofu. When will we leave tomorrow? to see you off."

"Master Xu, you have to go to court, you can't delay."

"Haha, I've already resigned once, so there's nothing to worry about. You left the capital and took up the post in Jiangning County. I don't know how many years it's been. Anyway, I'm still your incompetent teacher. , Sending you off is a big deal. We had a predestined relationship in our previous life. I admire your choice. You gave up the glory and wealth and thought about doing real things. It is not easy. There are too few talents like you in the imperial court. Longevity, a journey in the mountains, a journey in the water, a change in the wind, a change in the snow, Mr. Su, take one step at a time, don't worry, take your time, I am waiting for your good news."

Xu Eryi was still so upright, after saying these words, knowing that Su Tiancheng was leaving the next day, he turned around and said goodbye.

Not long after Xu Er left, Xiong Zijian, Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang, and Luo Chang arrived at the inn at the same time.

Seeing the four people, Su Tiancheng was very surprised. Before he could speak, Xiong Zijian spoke.

"Mr. Su, congratulations. I have heard that you are ranked second in the high school palace examination. We have already discussed it. You must not let it go outside. The brothers all know the painstaking efforts of the young master. Everyone is in Pingyang Fucheng. Farming is over, we plan to let some brothers go back to Mount Emei temporarily, waiting for the son's notice."

Su Tiancheng looked at the four of them, smiled wryly and shook his head. It turned out that they were discussing something. No wonder they couldn't come to the capital after such a long time, and all four of them came.

"Needless to say, I have already been transferred to Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Nanzhili Province, as the county magistrate."

In the room, it fell silent for an instant.

Xiong Zijian stood up first, and then Sun Yuankun and others also stood up.

Before Su Tiancheng understood the meaning, Xiong Zijian took the lead in kneeling on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted, and Sun Yuankun and others also knelt down.

"Young master's painstaking efforts, we understand. The brothers have made all preparations. As long as you say a word, you will go through fire and water, and you will not hesitate."

"Don't be like this, Young Master Xiong, get up quickly."

Xiong Zijian didn't get up, and neither did the others.

"Xiong swears here today that he will follow the young master for the rest of his life."

"Sun Yuankun swears here today that he will follow the son for the rest of his life."

"Liu Shiliang swears here today that he will follow the son for the rest of his life."

"Luo Chang swears here today that he will follow the young master for the rest of his life."

Su Tiancheng cupped his fists in return.

"Brothers trust me so much, and I swear here today that we will share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and create a new world."

21ri, Maoshi.

Su Tiancheng left the inn, and all the innkeepers and clerks gave them out. The innkeeper refused to accept the money. In desperation, Su Tiancheng wrote a song "Long Lovesickness" and gave it to the innkeeper. The innkeeper's body trembled with joy. up.

Walking out of the inn, Su Tiancheng saw Xu Eryi, Wu Weiye and others.

Xu Eryi, Wu Weiye and others sent 10 miles away from the capital, but Su Tiancheng insisted that they could not continue sending them away.

Everyone drank a big bowl of wine, broke the bowl, Su Tiancheng got on his horse, swung his whip and left without looking back.

As soon as Xu Er looked at Su Tiancheng's receding back, he muttered to himself.

"My Ming Dynasty is about to have an earth-shattering great man."

On March 29, Su Tiancheng and his party arrived in Taiyuan Fucheng.

Along the way, he kept a low profile and did not disturb anyone. He planned to stay in Taiyuan Mansion for a few days and then return to Pingyang Mansion City. There were still many things that needed to be arranged.

Outside the city of Taiyuan Prefecture, a carriage was parked there, and a maid was standing in front of the carriage. <screen.

Needless to say, Zhu Shenxin must be in the carriage.

Su Tiancheng is already an official of the imperial court, and with the imperial decree in his arms, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a guest of honor, that is to say, there is no way for him and Zhu Shenxin to have any results.

Su Tiancheng was still a little strange, how did Zhu Shenxin know that she was back, all the way, she stayed overnight at Xiaoxing, hurried on her way, and did not reveal her identity, could it be that Zhu Shenxin knew fortune-telling.

The princess has a noble status, and Su Tiancheng is already an official of the imperial court, so of course he can't do anything wrong.

He handed the reins to Wang Dazhi, stepped forward quickly, and walked to the side of the carriage. <The screen is on the side, looking at him, without speaking.

Inside the carriage, there was no movement.

Su Tiancheng was a little embarrassed, neither advancing nor retreating.

After waiting for a few minutes, he made up his mind and spoke again.

"I'm bothering the princess, I still have some things to do, I need to go back and deal with them, so let's just leave it alone."

"Is the second man so impatient? I've been waiting for you for several months. Can't you wait for such a short time?"

Su Tiancheng almost staggered, what does this mean, even if you wait a few years, it will be useless.

The princess is 16 years old, and she is indeed at the age of marriage, but she cannot marry because of the three-year system, but the royal family rules are very strict. If you want to marry the princess, you have to become a guest of honor and cannot enter the court As an official, they cannot live together after marriage, cannot take concubines, and wait for the princess to be summoned. Such a day, Su Tiancheng would never choose.

"Princess, the lower official has been transferred to Jiangning County, and he will take office soon."

There is no need to say more.

The scene was silent again, Su Tiancheng sighed softly, he kept the handkerchief of the county initiative all the time, and the jade ruyi was also carefully preserved, but he can't fight against the imperial power, at least not now.

"Don't call me princess, I hate this title, I'm going to find my brother right now, I'm not going to be princess anymore, I want to follow you to Jiangning County."

"Cough cough cough..."

Su Tiancheng really has some headaches. It seems that Zhu Shenxin's temper is strong enough. The title of the princess is not necessary. Born in the royal family, while enjoying it, one has to pay for it.

"The princess must not have such an idea, or accept the reality..."

Before Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Zhu Shenxin came out of the carriage and jumped off the carriage.

Zhu Shenxin's face was full of tears, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and her complexion was also pale.

Seeing Zhu Shenxin's expression, Su Tiancheng was shocked. Boys and girls who are just in love, treat their feelings wholeheartedly. He has also had such an experience. He can abandon everything for love.

This kind of feeling can only be smoothed out with time.

But does Zhu Shenxin have such an opportunity?

Zhu Shenxin is the princess, all actions are restricted, it is impossible to get in touch with many boys, not to mention the princess, even girls from official and gentry families, it is impossible to get in touch with many boys , Once their feelings are released, it is difficult to take them back, and they may be addicted to them for a lifetime, unable to extricate themselves.

Facing such a reality, Su Tiancheng didn't just sigh.

It is impossible for him to abandon his future, and even if he abandons his official position, he cannot marry the princess. His reputation has already spread, and the emperor and court ministers all know it. The most important thing is that he is no longer alone. There are thousands of people, for the future of these people, it is impossible for him not to fight.

"I don't care about reality, I just want to follow you, wherever you go, I will go there."

Su Tiancheng thought for a while.

"Princess, I have something to say, I can't say it. Please calm down a little bit, give me a year, and I will give you an answer. I have the grace of the emperor, and I can't make a decision at will. Please forgive me. "

"Then you go to Jiangning County, can you take me with you?"

Isn't this nonsense, just kidding, taking the princess to take office, I'm afraid I haven't started to do things, the impeachment memorial will arrive, don't think about doing other things, go back to the capital obediently, admit your mistakes to the emperor, I Su Tiancheng was overwhelmed, and eloped with the princess, which violated the dignity of the royal family, and left the emperor to deal with him.

"Don't be arrogant, the princess. Since I have been talking for a year, there must be an answer. I haven't talked to the matchmaker yet, and the princess is still in the period of guarding. Don't say anything unnecessary."
