Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 892 Order

  At this time, seven or eight carriages passed by the carriage Zhang Jing was sitting in.

  Before the carriage, there were more than a dozen guards carrying gongs to clear the way.

After that, there are guards with signs, which read: "Changping Prefecture Magistrate", "Miyun County Magistrate", "Shunyi County Magistrate", "Huairou County Magistrate", as well as "Idle People Avoid", "Imperial Order Inspection" and so on.

  Changping was originally a county. Not long ago, this place was upgraded to a state, under the jurisdiction of Changping, Miyun, Shunyi, Huairou and other counties.

The coachman suddenly became a little nervous, he stopped the car first, and someone in the car was about to get off, he thought in his heart that this was the officials passing through Taohuazhuang, but unexpectedly, on this official road, when they reached the intersection of Taohuazhuang, the next day The team guards took the lead and headed towards the path leading to Peach Blossom Village.

The coachman was stunned, and while waiting for Zhang Jing to get off the car, Zhang Jing took the fare and gave him the fare, but the coachman still stared straight at the team going away, and couldn't help but said, "Excuse me, may I ask where the Taohuazhuang is? Have there been any officials?"

  Zhang Jing is from Taohuazhuang, shaking her head: "There is only one Juren."

  Speaking of juren, Zhang Jing thought of her family member Zhang Juren in her mind. Zhang Juren was 60 years old and passed the provincial examination. This is a great thing in Taohuazhuang.

However, he is getting older, and it is even more difficult for him to be named on the gold list and become a Jinshi. If a person wants to be an official, they are usually low-level officials, but they are just local masters and edicts. Even a small county magistrate wants to fight for his head.

  This Zhang Juren simply stayed at home and took care of himself.

  The coachman couldn't help but said: "I saw the sign of Zhizhou. How can I visit a Juren?"

Juren is a very powerful person in the countryside, but in the eyes of the state officials under Shuntian Prefecture, he is nothing. This is Gyeonggi, and he is a fourth-rank official. In Changping Prefecture, they keep their promises.

   "Perhaps..." Zhang Jing was a little envious. It seems that it must be because Zhang Juren is old, or these years, he has assisted the government in local affairs. Zhizhou passed by here, let's drop by to see him.

   What a glorious thing this is.

  Zhang Jing said: "Perhaps it is the relationship between Zhizhou and Zhang Juren."

   Who knows about the affairs in the officialdom, this is beyond my own ability to spy.

  The coachman smiled, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "It's getting late, see you later, I'll be here on time tomorrow at noon. If you're going to Xincheng, remember to come early and wait, don't be too late."

  Zhang Jing bowed to him.

   Then, carrying the burden on his back, he walked onto the path.

  When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw the gentry and Zhang Juren of this pile early on. When I heard that Zhizhou had come suddenly, I was startled, and came to the village entrance with Baochang Jiachang to greet him.

  Zhang Juren walked in the front, wearing a Confucian shirt and a scarf, and he was looking energetic. He had ordered people to prepare to kill chickens and sheep, and prepared to entertain the officials.

  As soon as Zhizhou got off the sedan chair, Zhang Juren wanted to step forward, and said with a smile: "I learned from Zhang Wending, I have seen..."

   But Zhizhou seemed very anxious and didn't seem to have any thoughts.

  This made Zhang Wending mutter in his heart, why, since he came to visit me, why is he so contemptuous.

  Knowing how much higher status Zhou was than him, he still forced a smile.

  At this time, someone came forward: "Is this the Peach Blossom Village where Master Zhang lives?"

  Bachelor Zhang...

  In Taohuazhuang, has there ever been a bachelor named Zhang?

  Zhang Juren coughed: "The last school is Juren..."

  The other party seemed to be muttering too, looked left and right, it must be the wrong way, so several civil servants whispered.

  As for Zhizhou, he looks calm and calm, but at first glance, he is hard to get close to.

  He still seemed a little anxious.

  Zhang Juren was even more confused, but he saw someone watching from the crowd. He saw Zhang Jing at a glance, and in order to relieve the embarrassment, he waved to Zhang Jing who was crowded among the people in the same village: "Zhang Tongnian, come here."

When Zhang Jing heard Zhang Juren call him the same age, she felt emotional. Back then, he and Zhang Juren did pass the child test together. As a result, after Zhang Jing became a child student, he became a child student for the rest of his life, and Zhang Juren was amazing. Passing through the trials and tribulations, he finally passed sixty and became a juren. There is a huge difference between the two of them.

  Zhang Jing hurriedly stepped forward in fear and trepidation, and said to Zhang Juren: "Brother Nian, what orders do you have?"

Seeing that these officials were muttering, Zhang Juren didn't pay attention to this side for the time being, and said: "You are also a person who has studied and studied, and you came at a good time. Where have you been these days, and you are usually not seen. "

  Zhang Jing faltered, but dared not talk about his work in Xincheng.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Juren said, "Now the magistrates and the masters of the counties come, nine out of ten, they are here to see the old man. If you think about it, if there is any misunderstanding between them, I will entertain you here first, and I will ask you later." Greetings with them, how about you, don't stand here stupidly, I will accompany the officials to talk later, those civil servants, you accompany you in the outer hall, after all, you have been to school, you can always catch up with a few words .”

  Zhang Jing nodded: "Yes, yes."

  As a fellow countryman, Zhang Jing should help with this. Zhang Jing is a recruiter who wants to entertain the officials and lords, and those civil servants should not be neglected.

Zhang Juren said again: "Then you stand behind me first, and you must not say anything casually, so as not to bump into the official driver. They just said about a bachelor, but they don't know what it is. Go ahead, go to the back .”

"it is good."

Zhang Jing bowed to Zhang Juren, thinking that there was still a burden behind her, so she gave the burden to the neighbors to help, and then thought that she was a little anxious because she didn't wear the Lun scarf, and she was going to work. I was busy with work, and gradually I didn't pay much attention to scholars. Now it's a good thing, I don't wear a scarf on such an important occasion, I'm afraid it will make people laugh.

  He looked extremely unconfident, and looked at Zhizhou surrounded by countless people from a distance.

   Then, there was a clerk who seemed to be looking down at the official document.

  But at this time, it was too late.

  In the distance, there was a horseshoe.

   Someone came again.

  Zhang Juren's heart skipped a beat, what happened.

  The mighty horse team then arrived at the entrance of the village.

   But Nazhizhou and the officials below seemed to be relieved.

  The cavalry team was led by a man wearing a unicorn uniform, but it was Tang Yin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

  He came by decree to make a decree.

   But there are guards on the left and right.

   Originally, Tang Yin was supposed to come by car, but he was used to riding horses, and his mentor encouraged everyone to ride and shoot, so he came galloping on a flying horse all the way, and then turned over and got off the horse.

  The face was sullen just now, but the high-ranking magistrates and county magistrates suddenly burst into smiles.

  Everyone stepped forward one after another and surrounded Tang Yin.

  Tang Yin is also a fourth-rank official, but he is an imperial servant, a star of tomorrow. Although the Zhizhou is the same as him in rank, his status is quite different.

   Zhizhou saluted Tang Yin with a smile: "Master Tang, I and all my peers have been looking forward to your coming."

Tang Yin didn't quite understand Zhizhou, Fang Duwei's disciples all had a weird temper, dealing with them didn't exist, countless people in the officialdom were thinking about making money, thinking about how to deal with people, but Fang Jifan's disciples didn't need This, because even if you are not a fan of others, they are still willing to be friends with you.

  Tang Yin looked like he was doing business: "This official came by order, and came here to read out the imperial order. Dare I ask, where is Zhang Sen's family?"

   "This... Zhang Xueshi... Zhang Xueshi..." Zhizhou smiled wryly: "Because the official document came too urgently, when the subordinate officials heard that the imperial envoy was coming, he didn't dare to neglect, so he rushed here. This... this..."

  Tang Yindao: "People who are looking for a hometown will know it when they ask."

   As he spoke, he saw Zhang Juren in a Confucian shirt and a scarf in the distance, so he nodded: "You... come."

  Actually, Tang Yin was quite peaceful and already very polite, but in the eyes of others, he seemed to be domineering.

   After all, Tang Yin was born as a sailor, and those sailors who screamed at every turn could not be restrained by their gentleness, they had to have a tigerish spirit.

  After Zhang Juren saw it from a distance, he was shocked when he heard that he was calling himself, but he didn't know who it was.

  He was busy rolling up his sleeves, thinking about how to deal with it, how to say some beautiful words, and how...

   Tang Yin was impatient: "Come quickly."

"Oh." Zhang Juren didn't dare to go any further, so he hastened his pace. After taking two steps, he turned around and saw that Zhang Jing was following suit, amused and annoyed, and said in a low voice, "My dear brother, you don't need to come, this is It’s amazing, I’m going to make a call.”

   Zhang Jing was dizzy, and suddenly thought of something, with a face of shame, hurriedly stopped, and took two steps back.

   Zhang Juren came in front of Tang Yin and wanted to bow.

  Tang Yin said: "Is this Zhang Sen's home? I wonder if Zhang Sen has parents in the hall? Or an uncle."

  Zhang Juren was stunned, Zhang Sen...a bit impressed, but who is this person.

   Just when he hesitated.

   Tang Yin said: "Then, is his father's name Zhang Jing, but I don't know where Mr. Zhang is?"

  Zhang Jing...

  Zhang Juren's face turned pale instantly.

  Zhang Jing is just a little boy.

  First he was Zhizhou, and then he was on a business trip. He only came here for Zhang Jing. What did he do outside? He rebelled?

  In the distance, many villagers heard Zhang Jing's name, and some said, "Isn't Zhang Tongsheng here?"

  Tang Yin followed the voice and looked.

  But I saw someone pushing Zhang Jing out.

  Zhang Jing seemed very panicked, not knowing what happened.

Tang Yin saw that this was the rightful owner, and actually passed by the petrified Zhang Juren, and hurriedly walked up to Zhang Jing: "But Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tang Yin, my official, is a servant of the Imperial Academy. Studying for a bachelor's degree, polite..."

  The villagers were in an uproar.

   Attending a bachelor's degree.

  Everyone knows what a bachelor's degree is.

  Hanlin...Hanlin...What a noble status.

Let’s just talk about Zhang Juren, he is already a person who trembles when he stomps his feet in the local area, but if he wants to become an Hanlin, he has to be admitted to the Jinshi. . Even so, if the ranking is not good, it will not succeed, at least the results of the imperial examination must be among the best. But even so, he broke through countless harsh hurdles, but he only entered the Imperial Academy and became a lowly scholar. After ten or twenty years, he may not be able to become a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.
