rebirth first official

After the rebels fled from the city, they occupied the mountains as bandits and robbed several caravans.

Li Jingruo mobilized troops from several other prefectures to suppress the bandits with all his strength, and in just half a month, they defeated the rebels.The rebels had to hide in the mountains, their whereabouts were secretive, and they dared not show up again.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is over, and the New Year's Eve is over.Liu Rukang kept his promise, and after New Year's Day, Gao Zhanming's promotion order was issued, and he was transferred to the county magistrate, starting from the sixth grade.

Gao Zhanming has been away from Beijing for three or four months, and the situation in the capital is different.

The most important thing is that the conflict between Li Changzhi and the Gao family has become more and more intensified.

The eldest son of Empress Xu is already six or seven years old this year. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, Empress Dowager Gao took the lead and held a canonization ceremony to make the eldest son the crown prince.

Li Changzhi doesn't like Empress Xu, and he doesn't even like her son. Regarding the Lichu matter, he has actually fought a tug-of-war with the Gao family for several years. There were wars in the Western Regions a few years ago, so he used the excuse that the war was not settled. But it has been procrastinating, especially Concubine Zhao's belly is strong enough to give birth to a prince. He has been holding Concubine Zhao's son in his palm and wants to make Concubine Zhao's son the crown prince.When Gao Zhanming left Beijing, Concubine Zhao was pregnant with another child, and her belly gradually became more noticeable. The emperor went to the imperial doctor to see it, and the imperial doctor said that this child was probably another prince.Li Changzhi couldn't help but the Gao family became more and more anxious.The Zhao family has more and more princes, but the emperor has neglected Empress Xu. In the past five or six years, Empress Xu has not moved at all in her stomach, not to mention princes, not even a princess.In order to consolidate the status of the prince, when the Chinese New Year came, the Gao family held a canonization ceremony forcefully, no matter what excuses the emperor used to delay it, they ignored it.

The Gao family mobilized half of the officials in the DPRK to come forward and jointly write a letter requesting the establishment of a prince, but Li Changzhi had no choice.However, while he was crowning the crown prince, he also made a series of "auspicious omens" with the Zhao family. First, an ancient stone tablet was dug out from a well in the suburbs of Beijing. The people of Wang Zuo can help Li Huang to revitalize the country, and then he said that the colorful auspicious clouds appeared in Fanyang Town, indicating that the prince who is about to be born in Concubine Zhao Guifei's belly will be extraordinary in the future.Taking advantage of this shareholder style, Li Changzhi ordered that Concubine Zhao's father, the Duke of Pingyang County, be promoted to the Duke of Pingyang. In this way, Concubine Zhao's father was on the same level as Duke Anguo, and Concubine Zhao's background was higher than that of Empress Xu.

At the beginning, Gao Qiang let Concubine Zhao into Beijing because the Zhao family held important military power, which was a hidden danger for the Gao family. She wanted to win over the Zhao family and make the Gao family even more powerful.At that time, the Zhao family was fairly honest, and they always had a flattering attitude towards the Gao family. Zhao Jinyan and Gao Qiang had also seen it before. She was short in stature, had a pock-marked face, was dark and ugly, and was three or four years older than Li Changzhi. Guessing that the emperor would not like it anyway, he took Concubine Zhao Gui into the palace.Unexpectedly, as soon as the first prince in Concubine Zhao's womb was born, the face of the Zhao family changed immediately. Not only did they no longer obey the Gao family's advice, but they also obeyed Yang Yang. It actually made Li Changzhi dizzy.The Gao family gritted their teeth with hatred for the Zhao family, but it was too late to regret it now.The Zhao family seemed to be a local tyrant, defying the imperial order time and time again, Gao Qiang made a move to govern them, and the Zhezi of Fanyang East Town flew to the capital like snowflakes, saying that there were riots in the two towns, and the bandits had the intention of rebelling , ask the capital to allocate funds for assistance, otherwise it may be difficult to suppress.In fact, what kind of bandits are going to rebel? It is clearly the 20 army in the hands of the Zhao family. This is already a naked threat!

The news of the locust plague in Jiazhou and Gao Zhanming's promotion also spread to the capital.

Liu Rukang, as a local governor and a senior official of the third rank of the imperial court, has the right to appoint his subordinates, but he must also report to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the capital.

Gao Zhanming had left the capital for less than half a year, and the streets and alleys of the capital still used this legendary figure who was born in a wealthy family and won three yuan in succession as a topic of conversation from time to time.Because Gao Zhanming did something wrong in the Hanlin Academy and was demoted from Beijing by the emperor, it further confirmed the rumors that he was a wimp who relied on his family background to protect his superiors.Just when people were waiting to see Gao Zhanming make a fool of himself, news of Gao Zhanming's promotion came unexpectedly!

It should be noted that many Jinshi started as judges. An Guogong Gao Yuanzhao also served as a county magistrate when he was young, but that was when he was in his 20s.Local officials want to be promoted, in addition to the recommendation of local officials and the appreciation of the chief, they often need a certain number of years as an assessment, usually two years, and those who have outstanding achievements will either be promoted in the local area or transferred to the capital. , It is possible for a particularly talented person to be promoted after a year of work, but Gao Zhanming has only been working for less than half a year. For others, Gao Zhanming may have just figured out his responsibilities. From Liupin!And he's not even 20 years old!

As soon as the news spread, there was an upsurge of discussion about him in the capital immediately!

That day, Liu Da went to his family's Cuju Tavern to inspect the business, and just entered the door when he heard a few people sitting at the door arguing fiercely.

"Look, I said the other day that Gao Zhanming's future is limitless. When Su Xing won three yuan in a row, he was 19 years old. Gao Zhanming even won three yuan. You just say that he was cheated by his family status. Now he has done the same thing in Jiazhou , what else do you have to say?"

"Come on, it's only been a few months, and he has become a county magistrate. If you say that there is no background for this matter, who will believe it? It must depend on the Gao family! He is not good at being a Hanlin, so go If he is in Sichuan, he can become a judge? It must be the Gao family who can't wait to bring him back to the capital and secretly instigated him."

"That's not necessarily true. Do you know who the Jiazhou prefect is? That's Concubine Zhao's cousin! The Zhao family and the Gao family are so incompatible, if Gao Zhanming has no real skills, the Jiazhou prefect will not be able to pass!"

"What about Concubine Zhao's cousin? It's not Zhao. Who knows if he has colluded with the Gao family! Besides..." The man lowered his voice, "What good things can the Gao family produce? Hua Chong, who is domineering in the capital and has no law, he became a Lang Guan before he was 20 years old."

"You are making too much sense! My cousin was a Jinshi last year. He has read several articles by Gao Zhanming, saying that Gao Zhanming has real talents and practical learning. My cousin said so, so is it still fake?"

"Forget it, my cousin is still a subordinate official of the Ministry of Rites. He said that there are frauds every year in the imperial examination. The powerful children of the family were selected! When the Ministry of Rites examines the test papers, they are very knowledgeable."

"Come on, what are we fighting for? It has nothing to do with us. Is your surname Gao? Is your surname Zhao? Or is your surname Li? Stop arguing and watch the game!"

Liu Da entered the back hall of the arena, ordered someone to make several cups of good tea, spit into some of them, and then called a waiter, pointing to the person talking at the door: "Take these few The cups of tea are given to those people, the green cups are given to the person in brown clothes, and the one with dark skin." He ordered a few people who had said bad things about Gao Zhanming just now, snorted, and said, "The red cups are for those people." A few more. Remember, don’t send them by mistake!”

The waiter got his life, and inexplicably took the tray and brought the tea over.

Gao Qiang was quite surprised when he heard the news of Gao Zhanming's promotion.When Gao Zhanming asked to be released from Beijing, she was actually very unhappy.She is willing to promote Gao Zhanming, and the future path is paved for Gao Zhanming, so Gao Zhanming just listens to him honestly, and he will definitely become her right-hand man. less?As a result, Gao Zhanming disobeyed her again and again, and refused to follow the path she paved.First, she rejected her proposal to issue an imperial edict to appoint an official, and insisted on taking the imperial examination, and then took the fault of the Ministry of Rites to herself, and was released to Shu in the midst of the controversy.

Gao Qiang is a strong woman.Although she is a woman, she is no less ambitious than a man.Many of Gao's brothers had to obey her orders.Li Changzhi has been firmly in his hands since he was a child.For those who dare not listen to her, she will teach them a lesson.

The reason why Gao Zhanming was sent to Jiazhou thousands of miles away that day, instead of Tonghua two prefectures around Gyeonggi, was actually because she wanted to make Gao Zhanming suffer.Gao Zhanming always said that he wanted to prove his ability. She really felt that Gao Zhanming was a bit talented, but no matter how talented he was, what was really reliable in this world, and the only thing he could rely on was his power and family status?Just look at Su Yu, even if he is praised as the once-in-a-century Qingliu, so what?It's just a Hanlin, and it can only be used for the entertainment of the emperor. No matter how famous it is, it doesn't even have a title. If there are ten or eight papers for reform, which one will be approved?Can he manage the national salt affairs?Can the mining industry be governed?If you change and change, you can only toss and toss those students in the Imperial College, but it's just a false name!

Gao Zhanming disregards his gifted family affairs, but focuses on showing himself. This kind of person who is arrogant about his talents, if he is not allowed to suffer, he will not understand the reason.Far away in Jiazhou, not to mention the poverty, there is no such big tree as the Gao family.She fully thought that after a year, Gao Zhanming would know how good the Gao family was, and come to beg her to return to Beijing after being depressed.At that time, the previous turmoil will be over, and she will transfer Gao Zhanming back, and Gao Zhanming will be obedient.Unexpectedly, she actually underestimated Gao Zhanming!

Gao Qiang looked at the papers presented by the Jiazhou Mansion and remained silent for a while.

Guo Yulian took a good look at her words and said, "Queen Mother, I didn't expect Gao Zhanming to be really capable. After he has made some achievements in Jiazhou Mansion in two years, the Queen Mother will call him back to Beijing, so as to silence those who talk about right and wrong. .”

Gao Qiang hummed, put the folder aside, and said: "Send someone to call the emperor, the Ai family has something to say to the emperor."
