Great Qing Xiangguo

Chapter 79

The ministers of the South Study Room all went to Changchun Garden to serve them. Recently, the emperor has been very busy dispatching troops to conquer Galdan.Ministers were called to Danningju from time to time to ask questions.The emperor was very thoughtful and wanted to ask about every detail.The ministers are even more vigilant, and they dare not slack off for anything related to the northwest, and report it immediately.

At this moment, the South Study Room received several discounts for the co-payment, and Mingzhu called Chen Tingjing and Xu Qianxue to go to Danningju to play the emperor.Mingzhu said: "Received the note from Alani, the Shangshu of the Lifan Academy, and reported to the governor of Yunnan Wang Jiwen that he worked very hard to pay the salary. All the money, food and military horses collected in Yunnan have arrived in Xining! Alani is here to replace Wang Jiwen. Please credit."

The emperor was overjoyed, and said: "I have said long ago that Wang Jiwen is not a person who can only read dead books. He went to Yunnan with the army and did a lot to put down Wu Sangui's rebellion! Ting Jing, such a good governor who is in charge of financial management, I Why have I never heard you say half a good word about him?"

Chen Tingjing said: "Wang Jiwen's salary is so fast, it is indeed unexpected. I have been worried that Yunnan Association's salary will be difficult. Yunnan is not rich, and it has been warped for years, and now the copper tax has been cancelled. I originally thought that Wang Jiwen should play Please ask the imperial court to reduce or exempt the co-payment."

The emperor said: "But Wang Jiwen still completed the payment as scheduled."

Chen Tingjing said: "I think that a good official of the country should be loyal to the court and love the people. If you only care about the court and don't care about the suffering of the people, you can't be considered a good official. What I said is not to criticize Wang Jiwen."

The emperor was very upset and said: "I really don't know where the festival between Chen Tingjing and Wang Jiwen came from."

Chen Tingjing said: "Your majesty, I have no feud with Wang Jiwen. I just speculate based on reason and discuss the matter as it stands."

The emperor knew that Chen Tingjing's words made sense, but the imperial court now needs to encourage the provinces to cooperate with each other.The emperor pondered for a while, then promoted Wang Jiwen to the official position, and said: "Wang Jiwen will act as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and he will still be in charge of Yunnan affairs!"

Mingzhu led the decree and said: "I will draw up the decree immediately."

The emperor asked again: "Who is the right governor of Huguang?"

Mingzhu said: "The meeting of the Nine Ministers has been discussed in accordance with the order, and it is planned to push Hunan Governor Zhang Qian to replace him!"

Chen Tingjing participated in the Jiuqing meeting yesterday, and of course he would like Zhang Qian to be the governor of Huguang.But he was related to Zhang Qian after all, so he didn't speak at the meeting.

The emperor said: "Zhang Qian is also a person who can handle affairs, and he is also a clean and honest official, sure."

Xu Qianxue said again: "Qi Zou the emperor, there is Wang Jiwen's excerpt here, the Daguan Tower has been completed, please write the name of the building with the emperor's imperial pen!"

The emperor said: "Wang Jiwen has made meritorious service as governor of Yunnan. Let Wang Jiwen do this beautiful thing that has left a name through the ages."

When Wang Jiwen was promoted to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, his colleagues, subordinate officials, aides, and squires wanted to congratulate him.On this day, the governor's yamen held a banquet, and hundreds of guests arrived in a dark crowd.Wang Jiwen raised his wine glass high, and said: "I, Wang Jiwen, can be appreciated by the emperor, thanks to your great help! I thank you here!"

Wang Jiwen raised his glass first and drank it down.The guests congratulated repeatedly and raised their heads to toast.After drinking for half a day, Wang Jiwen suddenly realized that he did not see Kan Zhenzhao, so he asked Yang Wenqi in a low voice, "Hey, why don't you see Mr. Kan?"

Yang Wenqi said: "Master Kan, Mr. Kan left the house early in the morning, and he might be in Daguanlou again."

Wang Jiwen was unhappy, but he said: "Mr. Kan worked hard day and night for the Daguanlou, it's really hard work."

Yang Wenqi said: "Lord Zaitai, Yong Shu said something ugly, he Kan Zhenzhao is too noble! On such a happy day, no matter how busy he is, he still has to drink a cup of wedding wine from Master Zaitai!"

Wang Jiwen patted Yang Wenqi on the shoulder and said, "Wen Qi can't say that. Mr. Kan is informal, which is exactly the style of ancient celebrities. Let them drink here, and follow me to the Grand View Tower."

Wang Jiwen and Yang Wenqi left the governor's office and rode their horses to the shore of Dianchi Lake.Seeing the Daguan Tower from a distance, Wang Jiwen was quite proud, thinking that his life's achievements would be handed down through this building, and his name would really last forever!When I got to the Daguan building, I saw two yamen servants standing outside the building, bowed and said: "Master Kan, Mr. Kan ordered that no one is allowed to go up."

Wang Jiwen turned his head and said, "Wen Qi wait here, I'll go up and have a look."

When Wang Jiwen went upstairs alone, he saw Kan Zhenzhao holding a jug in one hand and writing: Daguanlou with the other hand.

Kan Zhenzhao looked at it for a long time, nodded slightly, and wrote a couplet:
The sky is flat and flat, with thousands of hectares of blue, shallow and deep, and the picture shows the scene of farming and mulberry.

The cloud screen is always standing, looking at the green place of Wanfeng, thick and light, and circles the scale of this pavilion.

Kan Zhenzhao was so engrossed that he didn't know that Wang Jiwen was quietly standing behind him.Wang Jiwen couldn't help but shook his head and nodded again, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, good words and good words!"

Kan Zhenzhao looked back at Wang Jiwen, did not speak, raised his neck and took a sip of wine, then wrote: Governor of Yunnan Wang Jiwen wrote a couplet and inscribed it.

Wang Jiwen pretended to be surprised, looked at Kan Zhenzhao and said, "Mr. Kan, it is necessary. Wang dare not do such a thing of seeking fame, for fear that future generations will laugh at him."

Kan Zhenzhao was full of wine, and laughed: "Kan is not a villager in the mountains, so he will not be famous in the world. Later generations only know that there is a master of Taiwan, and they will not know that there is me, Kan."

Hearing this, Wang Jiwen bowed deeply to Kan Zhenzhao, and said, "Mr. Kan is kind, thank you very much Jiwen! Please pay respects to Mr. Kan!"

Kan Zhenzhao was already very drunk, and looked at Wang Jiwen with a half-smile, but didn't return the salute, and was still drinking wildly with the flagon.A flock of white gulls flew past the building and gradually went away.
