Chapter 82 Appointment Letter

Li Jingruo's excerpt and the joint book of Jiazhou people were published in the capital, which naturally caused another sensation.

Gao Zhanming stayed in Jiazhou for two years, and in the first half of the year he was still a hotly discussed figure among the common people in the capital after dinner. He looked at the masters, but he didn't expect that Gao Zhanming came back into people's field of vision again in such a way.

The Gao family's children have always appeared in the folks as covering the sky with one hand and seeking the people's anointing. However, this time Gao Zhanming was not sheltered by the Gao family's ancestors, not supported by the dignitaries in the court, but elected by the joint names of tens of thousands of people, let alone It's the Gao family, or other parents and officials from poor families who have nothing to do, how can they be treated like this?So Gao Zhanming once again became a hotly-discussed figure in the capital, and compared to two years ago, the criticism of him has gradually faded, and more people are curious-what kind of person is he?At a young age, he has won three yuan in a row, and is deeply loved by the people. Could it be that he is really a once-in-a-century genius?

The previous malicious speculation about Gao Zhanming was almost settled, but now that this incident happened, many people immediately jumped out to rectify his name, and his poems and articles began to be recited in the streets and alleys, and more people recognized it His talents.

On the other side of Jiazhou, there is not so much confusion and discussion.What kind of person Gao Zhanming is, the common people have seen it with their own eyes.In two years, Gao Zhanming built many schools and medical clinics, developed water conservancy and other facilities for the livelihood of the people, and made the lives of ordinary people in Jiazhou much richer.Therefore, when Li Jingruo summoned people to petition Gao Zhanming, the gates of the government were overcrowded, and the common people were scrambling to name Gao Zhanming. Leave a note for yourself on the petition.

Early in the morning, Gao Zhanming went out in a carriage, ready to inspect the spring plowing situation, when he arrived in the center of the city, he was stopped by the people.

Gao Zhanming had no choice but to get out of the carriage, and was surrounded by people as soon as he got out of the carriage.

"Lord Gao, I heard that you are going to be transferred to Jiangzhou as the prefect? ​​Can't you stay in our Jiazhou as the prefect! I will never delay the tax payment in the future!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gao, I heard that you plan to open another academy next year. My son has studied for several years and is very knowledgeable. I want to teach in your academy!"

"Lord Gao, the governor said that we only asked us to sign the petition to get you promoted, but he didn't say that you were leaving! If I had known you were leaving, I would never have signed the petition! That copy Can the order be returned?"

"Master Gao, you must not leave!"

Gao Zhanming was dazed by the enthusiasm of the people, and responded with a smile: "I haven't written my horoscope yet, so things may not come true."

Enthusiastic people blocked Gao Zhanming's way and refused to let him go. Li Jingruo, who was sitting in the car, had no choice but to lift the curtain and explained: "I may not go to Jiangzhou. Mr. Gao made great achievements in Jiazhou, and he also cares about the people of Jiazhou." If you are more familiar with him, it depends on the imperial court's arrangements. Maybe he will stay in Jiazhou. But if you don't let him go, and delay the business of Jiazhou Prefecture, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the future."

After hearing this, the common people hurriedly made way for Gao Zhanming.

Gao Zhanming wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly got into the carriage, and urged the driver: "Let's go."

Before the carriage moved, I heard someone yelling strangely from behind: "Master Gao, I heard that you are not close to women, but like men. My nephew has admired you for a long time, and he is also a good-looking talent!"

Li Jingruo raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Zhanming playfully. Gao Zhanming squeezed his cold sweat secretly, and hurriedly said, "Go, go, go!"

The carriage finally moved, and the common people reluctantly gave way.

Before Gao Zhanming breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a cold hand slowly slipping into his clothes, stroking his back, which made his skin crawl.

Li Jingruo leaned forward with squinted eyes, and said in a very displeased tone, "Ma'am, you are really loved by others. Now no one proposes a marriage mat to you with their own girl, but there are still people who recommend themselves as pillow mats for their nephews. As a husband, I feel very sad." It's not a taste. I don't know how Madam plans to compensate me?"

Gao Zhanming noticed that Li Jingruo's hand tended to move down, and was afraid that he would cause some disturbance in the car. There were still many people outside, so he quickly grabbed Li Jingruo's hand, and said with a dry smile, "What did Yaoran say? Loved by others, can you, the governor, be worse than me?"

"Huh?" Li Jingruo hugged Gao Zhanming into his arms, rubbing hands with him.

Gao Zhanming had already recognized his own thoughts, and there was nothing to be awkward about. He turned his face and bit Li Jingruo's earlobe: "I don't care about you, but it's not that I don't know everything. My reputation of broken sleeves is passed on. Go out, the good girl dare not send me to spoil it, but Li Dudu, if I remember correctly, someone sent a letter from Tongzhou a few days ago, rushing all the way to marry the girl to you?"

Li Jingruo smiled: "I have already replied to the letter, telling him that there is a jealous wife in my family, and I dare not take concubines anymore."

Gao Zhanming gave him a sideways glance, and pulled his hand out of his clothes.Li Jingruo also stopped playing, and leaned aside with a smile.

When the voices outside became quieter, Gao Zhanming lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the scenery outside the window, a sweet smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

After more than a month, the edict of the capital came down.

That day Gao Zhanming was inspecting outside, and he didn't return home until dusk, when he heard about the letter from the capital.He hurried to the study to find Li Jingruo.

Gao Zhanming opened the door and walked into the study, only to see Li Jingruo sitting at the desk with a roll of appointment letter in his hand.Li Jingruo's expression was a bit serious, at least not a happy one.Gao Zhanming sat down beside him, hesitated for a moment, did not read the appointment letter, and asked, "Rejected by the court?"

Li Jingruo nodded, and pushed the appointment letter towards Gao Zhanming: "You can read it yourself."

Gao Zhanming didn't open it. He pursed his lips and guessed, "Are you...calling me back to Beijing?"

Li Jingruo didn't seem surprised that he could guess this matter, so he only nodded slightly.

Gao Zhanming sighed.Although Li Jingruo didn't discuss it with him, both of them knew it well.The Gao family will not let Gao Zhanming stay in Sichuan for too long. In two years, ordinary Jinshi will experience two years in the local area. If they have a future, they should be recalled to the capital to become a Langguan. Gao Zhanming clearly understands the Gao family's thoughts. It is impossible for Li Jingruo to be unclear, so at this juncture, he asked the people of Jiazhou to jointly write a letter to Gao Zhanming. In addition to intending to promote Gao Zhanming, he also wanted to buy Gao Zhanming two more years of free time so that he could make more achievements.However, it was not successful in the end, and Gao Qiang didn't want to wait any longer.

Gao Zhanming finally picked up the letter of appointment, unfolded it, and said, "It's a generous move, so let me be the censor."

The Yushitai is a relatively independent supervisory agency. It can supervise hundreds of officials at the top, and it can plead for orders in the name of rectifying the officials. Logically speaking, the Yushi is the eyes and ears of the monarch. The censor is actually to be the eyes and ears of the Gao family.

Li Jingruo tapped lightly on the table: "Madam, what are you going to do?"

Gao Zhanming threw the letter of appointment aside, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I will return to Beijing."

Li Jingruo nodded.The letter of appointment has been issued, and Gao Zhanming can't help it now.This was different from the day when Gao Qiang verbally recruited Gao Zhanming. After all, there was no document from the Ministry of Officials. Even if Gao Zhanming refused in private, it would not hurt Gao Qiang's face.Now, it is a letter of appointment with the official seal. If Gao Zhanming doesn't want to do it, the only way out is to retire from illness, which is obviously not in his interest.This time the Gao family did not discuss with Gao Zhanming, and directly issued an edict in the name of the emperor, asking the Ministry of Officials to issue a document, obviously not wanting to give Gao Zhanming a chance to refuse.

But even if the deal is done, Gao Zhanming doesn't feel too disappointed.Returning to the capital is a matter of time. Whether he can stay in the place for a few more years depends on whether he can further prove himself, expand his network and reputation, so that the road after returning to Beijing will not be too difficult.Li Jingruo's hard work was not in vain, at least he and the people of Jiazhou handed over the joint letter, which has already attracted attention. This was originally Li Jingruo's most fundamental purpose.

Li Jingruo sighed: "I won't be able to return to the capital for a while, and we will be separated if you leave. Ma'am, I feel so sad in my heart."

Gao Zhanming originally wanted to laugh at him, but he couldn't get out of his mouth.No matter what Li Jingruo said was true or not, he also began to feel frustrated and sad.

In the past two years in Jiazhou, he has cultivated his own influence, with the help of Li Jingruo and Liu Rukang, and the support of officials and common people, and things went smoothly.But when he went back to the capital, there were his uncle, aunt and cousins ​​there, but he was truly "unaccompanied".Li Jingruo didn't have any influence in the capital, so even if he wanted to help him, he couldn't help him. Besides, Li Jingruo had only been a governor for two years, so it was impossible for him to leave as early as he did.

Li Jingruo held his hand and said with a smile, "Tonight..."

Gao Zhanming's face became hot, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Li Jingruo didn't let him go.If they go on, they will really be separated, and he doesn't know how long this separation will last. He really can't bear it, and he is not willing to refuse again.He looked at Li Jingruo's sincere eyes, rolled his Adam's apple, and finally turned into a sigh: "Then you... Take it easy..."

Li Jingruo hugged Gao Zhanming into his arms, put his foreheads together, and his eyes met.The candlelight on the table jumped up and down, clearly reflecting their gentle outlines into each other's eyes.

Li Jingruo said softly, "Wait for me."

Gao Zhanming no longer wanted to ask.Even though he didn't know exactly how ambitious Li Jingruo was, or how far Li Jingruo was capable, he didn't need to ask.One day, he will see it with his own eyes.There is still a long way to go in the future.

"it is good."
