Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 57
Autumn is the harvest season, and it is also the busiest time for water transportation. The not-too-wide Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is crowded with tank boats coming and going, but a big black-stem boat is running majesticly in it.According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, only slot boats are allowed to pass through the North Canal from Tianjin to Tongzhou, and other ships are not allowed to enter, let alone civilian ships, even the boats and boats of the top officials of the imperial court. The only one that can pass without hindrance Non-water boats can only be the dragon boats of Emperor Kangxi.Right now, although this Wushao boat is also filled with big signs such as silence and evasion, the ship is heavily guarded and full of sturdy soldiers, but it is obviously not the dragon boat of Mr. Kangxi. Besides, I couldn't help but be full of curiosity—who on earth has so much energy to be so free on the Forbidden River?

who?Except for Yinzuo, no one else dared to be so presumptuous. Even if the other imperial envoys want to take a boat when they go out of Beijing, they first go by land to Tianjinwei and then change to a boat. They dare not put the boat on the forbidden river. mortal sin.However, Yin Zuo was not playing tricks on this matter. This was the arrangement of the old man Kangxi. In addition to dispatching a navy warship from the Fengtai camp to serve as Yin Zuo's seat, Kangxi also sent two soldiers from the Shanpu camp to guard the palace. More than a hundred people served as Yinzuo's guards on tour, not only that, but the old man also gave Yinzuo a troop survey and cooperation, with which he could dispatch an army of less than a thousand.

Yinzuo enjoys such honors, but he doesn't feel the slightest bit of complacency in his heart - if he wants to get the benefits, he must first build his tools. The military power has been given, and this job is still a mess. What awaits him is definitely not a good result. It is probably impossible to escape punishment like the fourth brother last time.If he messed up the errand, not to mention that the old man couldn't explain it to him, the other brothers might take the opportunity to make trouble, and he didn't have any reliable figures among the courtiers, so he would just be unable to afford to walk around.

Although Yin Zuo had some idea of ​​how to do it, he was not sure about it after all: if he went to investigate with such a great fanfare, I'm afraid that the gang of officials had already made preparations, and it was uncertain whether they could find out the problem. That kicker is a corrupt official behind the scenes, I'm afraid it's really hard to guard against, the fourth brother was set up by someone, it may not be his turn, and the officials can be more polite.But it's useless to worry about things now, and I can only bite the bullet and go on doing this job, and we'll just have to wait and see.Yin Zuo could see it, lying alone on the rocking chair in the main cabin, drinking tea from a small teapot, and humming a little tune, it was very pleasant, and he couldn't help but think wildly in his heart.Just remembering Lan Yue'er who just got engaged not long ago, before she had time to enjoy herself, she saw Liu Yao's big head poking into the door with a sneaky look on her face.

Damn, what is this little demon doing?Yin Zuo snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Yao, what are you doing hiding at the door? Hide and seek?"

"Hey, I didn't sleep, I'll probably be in Tianjin Wei soon, I'm afraid I'll oversleep, Ke Keli wanted to wake me up."

Well, we are coming to the end of the land so soon, and the time has really passed, mother, it is time to prepare well, refresh yourself, and deal with that screw-up official, and if you have no chance to be fooled by someone, you will not be ashamed It looks good.Yinzuo nodded to indicate that he understood, Liu Yao made a grimace, and his big head disappeared in a flash.

This little demon is good at everything, but he doesn't have a good type, so he doesn't look like a good material for an official.Yinzuo shook his head with a wry smile, stood up, stretched himself, and prepared to deal with the officials who came to greet him.

Liu Yao has been following Yinzuo for four or five years, and he has made a lot of contributions in Zhaomoduo a few days ago. Originally, in terms of merit, it would not be difficult to release a fourth-rank guerrilla general. If Yinzuo No matter how hard you try, it's a matter of course to get a third-rank ginseng general. It's just that this guy doesn't want to leave Yinzuo's side, and he doesn't want to go with a bright future. It can only be left to him.But then again, Liu Yao is optimistic and cheerful, and will play some pranks from time to time, Yin Zuo is really reluctant to send such a living treasure away, but he also asked Liu Yao for the title of the second-class guard, Counting it, he is also a top-ranking military officer of the fourth rank.

It was already noon, and the Tianjin Wei Wharf, where coolies were supposed to be loading and unloading goods, was crowded with a large line of officials, all of them neatly dressed, waiting intently for the arrival of Yinzuo's boat.Although the weather in September was much cooler than midsummer, the sun was still scorching hot. However, the pampered officials were all sweating from the heat, and they didn't dare to hide in the shade for a while, so they had no choice but to stay in the shade. Take juanzi to wipe.

Although the opening official was beating his heart, he dared not make any complaints. Everyone knew that the imperial envoy was no small matter. He was the prince of the elder brother, who held the power to decide everyone's life and death. Brother has never dealt with court officials very often, no one can see through this elder brother's wrist, but everyone knows that this elder brother is a powerful character, no matter what happens, he dare not leave a bad impression on the imperial envoy, everyone Had to wait in line honestly.

"Come, come." A sharp-eyed official shouted in the crowd, and there was a commotion in the whole team.Governor Wu He of Zhili gave a fake cough with a cold face, and the officials, big and small, immediately fell silent, stood up, and waited silently for the arrival of Dajia Yinzuo.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were eight Governors-Governors of Zhili, Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Lianghu, Shaanxi-Gansu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan-Guizhou. The important task is ranked first among all the governors. He is known as the head of the ministers in Xinjiang. He cannot take up the post unless he is a relative or noble minister. In the eighth year of Kangxi, the post of governor of Zhili was removed and the governor of Zhili was re-established. He only governed the affairs of Zhili province. It is one of the most prominent positions among border officials.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, all those who could serve as governors were generally civil servants, and they were basically Jinshi, with the exception of Wu He. However, he has successively served as the admiral of Sichuan, the chief envoy of Shanxi, and even the current governor of Zhili. Coupled with his dexterity, he has always been favored by the old man.Although Yin Zuo didn't have much dealings with this Master Wu, he knew that he was one of the old man's favorite generals, and he didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest. Wu He and others...
