Chang Tao set out from Mengjin, riding a fast horse, and rushed to the capital city day and night.
The attendant officer advised: "Sir, if we travel so fast, your body will not be able to bear it."
Chang Tao was overjoyed when he heard this.
Is there such a good thing?
What he wants is the effect of being unable to bear it, and having to drag his exhausted and weak body to the court to meet the emperor!
Mr. Jia Shao almost fed himself the food. Chang Tao felt that if he still couldn't seize the opportunity -
Then just go home!
The attendants were a little scared as they watched the county magistrate, who became more and more excited the more tired he became while traveling day and night.
Sir, please take a break, you are working too hard!
Evening of the fifth day.
Chang Tao, who was eager to make progress, dragged his trembling body and pale face into Beijing and knocked on the door of Prime Minister Zheng Xiasheng's house.
then.
Zheng Xiasheng and Li Duan were discussing matters in the study.
Because tomorrow, Li Duan will set off for Shaanxi to provide disaster relief.
But His Majesty first experienced the "Palace Maid Murder Case" and then the "Confession of Sins Incident", and his temperament became extremely sensitive and unpredictable.
He was even no longer willing to attend court.
Occasionally, when he attended a court meeting, he would fly into a rage and angrily denounce all officials for having "no respect for the emperor and his father."
This situation of discord between the emperor and his subjects has lasted for a whole year.
All the officials in the court were trembling with fear every day: Do you know how we survived this year!
How to solve the drought in Shaanxi when the emperor and his subjects are not united?
The drought could not be resolved, and His Majesty thought of the "Confession of Sins" from time to time. It was like a thorn in his throat every day, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat.
Although the edict of repentance has not been issued, it is enough to make the emperor lose face!
Under such circumstances, it is really dangerous for Li Duan to go to Shaanxi.
Therefore, both the master and the disciple looked very solemn.
The miracle never came!
"Report to the Lord, the Magistrate of Mengjin County requests to see you!"
Hearing this, the elderly Zheng Ge Lao's heart began to beat fast.
Li Duan was also shocked.
Mengjin? That's a really deadly place!
At this critical juncture, if something happened in Mengjin... I can’t imagine how angry His Majesty would be.
But, the county magistrate came to the capital without an imperial edict, which obviously meant something big had happened!
Zheng Xiasheng rubbed his forehead tiredly: "Let him in."
The elder has already prepared for the worst in his mind.
Never thought about it.
The first words that the magistrate of Mengjin County said when he came in stunned the master and his apprentice in the study: "Master, great joy! An auspicious omen has fallen from the sky in Mengjin!"
What?
Li Duan said in a deep voice: "Tell me in detail!"
After a cup of tea.
Zheng Xiasheng laughed out loud.
Li Duan's face was full of disbelief as if "there is such a good thing".
Miracle, this is a miracle!
The master and the disciple looked at each other, and their previous dejection was swept away: There is great potential in this matter!
As long as we do it well, I can instantly heal your Majesty's grudges and repair our relationship!
However, this kind of "auspicious sign" can be easily exposed. The magistrate of Mengjin County was bold enough to go directly to Beijing.
If things are not arranged properly and things go wrong, and the flattery ends up hitting the horse's leg, then it will be like: flattering someone and end up hitting his reverse scale.
Therefore, Zheng Xiasheng was still a little hesitant.
Chang Tao was puzzled by this. After all, Mr. Jia Shao had already considered these issues in advance!
Mr. Jia, you are truly a talented person!
The magistrate of Mengjin County was very clear-headed and knew that he could not take all the credit by himself: because he dared to brag in the court and in front of His Majesty, it seemed that he had lived too long!
Therefore.
The magistrate of Mengjin County took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, my Lord, this matter has been perfectly resolved... I met a great talent, his name is Jia Shao..."
"That day in prison... the fishing boats from Mengjin will soon reach the capital."
After hearing the words of the Mengjin County Magistrate, the study became quiet.
Zheng Xiasheng and Li Duan looked at each other and saw the amazement in each other's eyes.
What a peerless young man who is good at planning and making brilliant plans!
Although he is in the underworld, he can see clearly the affairs of the government.
Not only does he play politics to perfection.
A small detail of "giving fish" still carries the flavor of human life.
His Majesty the current Emperor is really dependent on this "flattery"!
