Chapter 115 Exceptional Promotion
On August 22, the fourth year of Hongtai in the Daxing Dynasty, it was just dawn at three o'clock in the morning (5:45 a.m.).

In Lin'an County today, it is Old Fu who guards the city gate.

From a distance, he saw people running towards the county. These people were wearing neat military uniforms, and they were chasing a group of people. Old Fu fought with them, and they were bandits from Yinhu Mountain.

"Stop, who are you!" Old Fu yelled.

"Hurry up and open the city gate, we are the army of the guard."

"Is there any proof that you are not thieves, show the proof." Old Fu shouted, he was very afraid that these people in military uniforms were thieves, if they were, the consequences would be unimaginable if they rushed into the city.

Perhaps, the proof doesn't work anymore. Only by taking away their weapons and holding them up can the safety of the whole city be ensured.

"Don't come here again, we won't be polite if you come here again."

"Hurry up and open the door, the son of Duke Yan is here."

"Confiscate the weapons, we will escort you, and let you enter the city." Old Fu shouted. "Call someone."

Early in the morning, the sound of drumming resounded throughout Lin'an County.

This is the drum that the county will only beat when there is danger. All the government officials hurriedly put on their clothes and went out with their knives.

It is very likely that the bandits from Yinhu Mountain are calling.

"Give them the weapon." Liu Xuanyi said feebly, with a lot of blood on his face, dizzy, with only a little consciousness left.

"Give them the weapons." The guard who was carrying Liu Xuanyi shouted.

The bandits on Yinhu Mountain retreated, and when they reached the plain they stopped fighting and withdrew.

There were more than 100 and close to [-] government officials holding knives and looking nervously at the group of sergeants.

"Doctor, we need to find a doctor."

There were many injured soldiers. Old Fu felt that it was unlikely that they were bandits. There were too many people injured here. It was obvious that they had fought with bandits. However, for the sake of the safety of the entire county, he had to confiscate the soldiers' weapons. arms.

The doctor came soon, and many doctors woke up at Maoshi, and those who didn't wake up were also awakened by the sound of drums.

Su Huan and others also heard the sound of the drum, put on official uniforms, and went to the county government office.

The atmosphere in Lin'an County was very serious. Everyone hoped that it was just a false alarm and that the thieves outside did not attack.

Capital...

Above the court, various ministries reported major emergencies across the country, where taxes were not paid, where drought was severe, there were Tartars attacking the city at the border, and a certain general died in battle against the enemy.

Emperor Hong Tai's head got dizzy when he heard it. The main reason is that the drought is the most serious problem. Once the people have no crops, how many refugees will appear and how many people will starve to death. These refugees may cause rebellion.

Dealing with the drought problem is imminent.

Emperor Hong Tai has decided that he will send officials from various ministries to the drought-stricken mansion, and take certain measures according to the local conditions to reduce losses.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Pi Langzhong stood up again.

Mr. Pi discovered that after he returned to the headquarters for work yesterday, everyone deliberately did not talk to him, alienated him, and treated him like the plague.

It seemed that he was about to be slapped by the leftist in the next moment. Everyone was afraid of being implicated, and they used actions to prove that Pi Langzhong and I were not in the same group. We supported the Prime Minister and would never sing against him.

This feeling of being rejected by others is unimaginable if you haven't experienced it before. It's lonely, helpless, and painful. Pi Langzhong couldn't sleep all night. It's all because of his talkativeness. I didn't guess what Xiangye was thinking. It's okay now , future, promotion, and beauties are all far away from him.

After thinking about it all night, Pi Langzhong felt that only by following the good will of the Prime Minister can he be able to have both sides and get promoted and make a fortune.

Emperor Hong Tai sat on the dragon chair to see what Doctor Pi was going to say.

Some red-robed officials deliberately stayed away from Pi Lang, for fear that he would say something offensive again.

"I came home yesterday and realized that I had no information. Mr. Su has such a good reputation among the people. He is a truly capable minister." Pi Langzhong was completely shameless. "Although Mr. Su has a low official rank, he is always thinking about my great prosperity. There are droughts everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, but Lin'an County, which Mr. Su governs, is safe. This further proves Mr. Su's ability. I suggest that your Majesty make an exceptional promotion to him. He was promoted to the official rank of ninth rank as county magistrate and temporary ambassador of the Ministry of Works. He will be promoted to full rank after passing the examination and will be appointed as an imperial envoy to manage water control in counties in Hangzhou Prefecture and be responsible for the drought in Hangzhou Prefecture."

"Didn't Pi Qing say yesterday that Su Qing is just a rank nine official?"

"Your Majesty, this minister deserves to die." Pi Langzhong knelt down and said, "Lord Su is a competent minister. How can a capable minister be limited to his official position and have nothing to do? This violates the legal system of the ancestors and the original intention of establishing a dynasty. After reflection, the minister , I deeply realized my mistake, Mr. Su is a rare talent in our dynasty, if this kind of talent is lost because of my muddled words, I would like to die."

"I implore Your Majesty to make an exception and promote Mr. Su to the post of the county magistrate and temporary ambassador of the foundry department. After the examination, he will be promoted to a full-time official. He will be appointed as an imperial envoy to manage the water management of the counties in Hangzhou Prefecture and be responsible for the drought in Hangzhou Prefecture."

"My minister seconded the proposal, Mr. Su has outstanding abilities, so he should be promoted exceptionally." Standing next to Mr. Pi, the doctor stood up, holding a wat board, with a very serious expression.

"The minister also agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry also stood up. "The old minister seconded."

At this time, no one mentioned that Su Huan was just a scholar. It seemed that everyone deliberately ignored this point, probably because he was the person Xiang Ye favored.

Emperor Hong Tai and Li Xiang had discussed it a long time ago, and now the whole court is supporting it, and there is no disagreement, so the matter is naturally easy.

Emperor Hongtai said: "Yes."

"Your Majesty, I still have to play." Pi Lang said.

Emperor Hong Tai looked at Pi Langzhong: "Tell me."

"I am willing to go to the Hangzhou Mansion to be a deputy beside Mr. Su and learn how to deal with floods. Please allow me your Majesty's permission."

"Huh?" Emperor Hong Tai was surprised. This was a very low-status approach.

The others were also very surprised. They surrendered their status to be a fifth-rank official to serve as a deputy to a regular ninth-rank official. There has never been such a reason in ancient times.

"Your Majesty, the sage said, don't be ashamed to ask your subordinates. I have read the books of the sages, and I should learn how to do things from the sages. I think this trend can grow, and I hope your majesty will approve."

It seems that the emperor still has any concerns. It is one thing to make an exception for promotion. It is not fair to let a high-ranking official serve as a deputy to a low-level official.

People are born with high and low.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Su is an imperial envoy. If your Majesty comes in person, Mr. Pi will serve as the deputy to the imperial envoy, not to a chief registrar." Li Xiang spoke.

Prime Minister Zuo turned around and looked at Li Xiang.

"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is very true, and I agree with you." Pi Lang said.

"Then, I agree." Emperor Hong Tai naturally listened to what Li Xiang said. "Pi Qing will set off today, and study hard with the imperial envoys. I hope we can have more practical officials."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Pi Langzhong knelt down and kowtowed, hahaha, the two Prime Ministers spoke for Su Huan, so he must be the prince left behind by the people, right?After thinking about it a lot, it's fine to have a thigh anyway, as long as I can get on well with Su Huan, will I be afraid that I won't be promoted in the future?
