The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 575 Uprooted
Zeng Jian couldn't help but sighed and said: "Lord Chang, you should have thought it through clearly, the contracting of Huangzhuang is a matter personally supervised by His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince."

Chang Caifan couldn't help trembling when he heard the word "Assistance King", but then the teacher Yuan Pengnian's words rang in his ears, "Assistance King's demarcation of Huangzhuang has already committed public anger, and there are few people in the court. It will not damage your interests. If the assistant king punishes you for the Huangzhuang incident, I guarantee that even the Ministry of officials and the cabinet will not be able to get through it. This court is not the court of his assistant king alone..."

Thinking of this, he shook his heart, stood firmly on the side of his benefactor, cupped his hands and said: "Even His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince cannot go against the will of the people of the world."

"Chang Caifan, are you going to fight to the end?!"

Chang Zhixian just turned his head to one side and ignored him.

"Okay!" Zeng Jian then looked behind him, "Where is Li Hongcai?"

"My lord, the student is here."

Zeng Jian said in a deep voice: "The magistrate of Fenyi County often knows incompetence and lazy administration, which hinders the affairs of the state and is a disgrace to the reputation! It is really unbearable to occupy the position. From now on, Li Hongcai will be temporarily appointed as the magistrate of Fenyi County. There must be no mistake!"

"Students... the officer obeys!"

Chang Cai was taken aback when he heard the words, "No, Mr. Zeng, the next official is not..." He was panicking and wanted to make excuses, but he didn't see Zeng Jian handing out the official document of the court's transfer of officials. Feeling flustered, he said, "Master Zeng, can you let the lower officials take a look at this transfer order from the Ministry of Officials?"

"There is no transfer order, I am..."

"Haha!" Chang Cai said knowingly, I knew that Master Yuan had already said that the imperial court would not touch me, it was really just your surname Zeng putting on airs!

He immediately snorted heavily, "Hmph! Master Zeng is so majestic.

"Although I often have a certain person who is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, he is also a serious official of the court! You are just the head of the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials. What right do you have to change it to me at will?! There is no court transfer order, so I still have the final say on the division of Yixian County !"

Seeing that Zeng Jian turned his head to talk to the man named Li Hongcai in a low voice, but he didn't "dare" to answer, he was even more proud at the moment, "Master Zeng, if you want to move me, you should first respond to Tianfu, please send a letter from the Ministry of Officials, and the cabinet will review it." After using the seal, it will not be too late to show off again."

He reached out his hand to signal the door, and said in a cold voice: "Master Zeng, please. It will take at least a month to go back and forth to Nanjing. You should leave as soon as possible. I can order you to prepare the car."

Although Chang Caifu said that he was arrogant, he was actually very afraid that the assistant king would really take care of him, so he made up his mind that as long as Zeng Jian and those eunuchs were held back, he would send someone to inform his teacher, and let him act quickly in the court .At that time, it will be the co-regent's battle with a group of court officials, and naturally there will be no pressure on my small role.

"Back to Nanjing?" Zeng Jian finished telling Li Hongcai, then turned his head and said, "Ah, no need, although the subordinate officials have low power, they can still move you."

He said that he took out a wooden box from himself, and handed a piece of paper inside the box to Chang Caifan, and said with a smile, "Master Chang, take a look at what this is?"

Chang Caifan took the paper carefully, and his pupils shrank suddenly. The official seal, the cabinet seal, and the jade seal were all on the paper, and there was also the signature of Huang Dao Zhou Huangge on the back. It was Li Hongcai who was transferred to Fenyi County The magistrate's appointment order!
It was just that when he saw the last position, he was taken aback for a moment—the last Zhu Zhu turned out to be the first emperor Longwu, and the time was also the first day of August in the first year of Longwu.

It was the blank letter of commission issued to Zhu Linmi by Longwu when he ordered him to train soldiers at the beginning. The above procedures are all complete, and it will take effect after filling in the name.

Zhu Linming knew that the land reform would be the enemy of the "landlords" of the Manchu Dynasty, and that going through the formal process would inevitably be hindered everywhere, so she remembered these "big killer weapons" that had not been used up before, and handed them to Zeng Jian.

Although Long Wu has passed away, who in the world would dare to make irresponsible remarks on the late emperor's will!
"This, how is this possible?!" Chang Caifan's face was pale, and the hand holding the letter of appointment was trembling, "How could you...have the late emperor..."

Zeng Jian took back the letter of appointment and pointed to the door, "Master Chang, please."

Chang Caifan staggered to the entrance of the second hall as if he had lost his soul, then turned around and stared fiercely at Zeng Jian, "Master Zeng, don't be complacent, the imperial court will definitely transfer me back soon! It's a good time The whole county is full of my people, even if you squeeze me away, you will still be unable to move an inch!"

"That doesn't bother Mr. Chang."

Zeng Jian turned around and ignored him.

Not long after, in front of the Yimen of the Fenyi County Government, a total of 17 people gathered here, starting from the county magistrate, master Bo, Dian Shi, and even the accountant.

Li Hongcai, who had just taken office, heard the little official introduce everyone to him, then glanced around, and his gaze fell on Ge Sheng, the county magistrate, "Master Ge, I order you to immediately summon the third class of yamen servants and rush to Hujiazhuang in the eastern suburbs of the city. I am going to take back The Huangzhuang farmland occupied by the Hu clan."

Ge Sheng was taken aback, Chang Caifan had already greeted them on the way here just now, no matter what the new magistrate wanted to do, he would boycott them.

He was promoted by Chang Cai, so he was naturally very obedient, so he pretended to be embarrassed: "My lord, the county has a lot of business affairs recently, and there are only 30 to [-] people left in the yamen. Look, why don't you take it easy..."

Zeng Jian interrupted him and said, "Ge Sheng, right? That's enough, you've been dismissed." He turned to the young man behind him, "Qin Banming, you will be the prime minister of Fenyi County from now on."

The dozen or so people below felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Just now they heard that Mr. Chang had been transferred away, they thought it was just an official fight, but they didn't expect it to fall on them again in an instant.

"My lord, you can't..." Ge Sheng just said a few words before being dragged out by the entourage brought by Li Hongcai.

Even the magistrate of the county was replaced by Mr. Zeng in front of him, so changing the county magistrate is still the same as playing?No one present dared to dispute this.

Li Hongcai looked at Zhao Runbao, the official history of Fenyi County, "Master Zhao, may we gather the servants of the county government today?"

"Today..." Zhao Runbao was in a cold sweat, "I'm afraid it's..."

Zeng Jian turned back again, "Jiang Sheng, now you will take up the post of Yidian Shi."

"The subordinate obeys the order."

After Zhao Dianshi was framed out, Li Hong smiled and said to Bo Liangjing, "Master Liang, what do you think?"

Liang Jing glanced back at Zhao Runbao's back, then looked at the dozen or so people standing behind Zeng Jian—they were Zeng Jian's confidantes and the eight capable new scholars assigned to him by Zhu Linming—and couldn't help thinking to himself Swallowing and smearing it, he thought that it was clear that Fenyi County was going to be completely changed!I've seen someone who is ruthless, but I've never seen someone who strikes so swiftly and mercilessly... Why should my thin arms twist my thighs?
He wiped off his cold sweat, bowed his head and said: "Go back to your lord, I will go and gather some people, so I can go to Hujiazhuang today."

"Yes," Li Hongcai nodded in satisfaction, "Master Lao Liang is here."
