Ying Tianchang

Shen Yue scolded bitterly, with one hand resting on his chest and the other holding a sword, showing his loyalty and iron gallant chivalry.After a long while, Shen Yue raised his head and glanced at the people around him, then stared at Zhang Zhiqing again, "Master Zhang, I will ask you again, are you guilty?"

Zhang Zhiqing knew that today would be unlucky, but the governor of Heyun is a high-ranking official, he violated the king's law, and he should be escorted to the capital to be interrogated by the Holy Majesty himself.He has a stalk in the neck, fight! "Being loyal to the king and doing righteousness for the people, although I have no regrets in dying, but today there is no evidence of innocence in court, just relying on Mr. Shen's three-inch tongue, I will set up a private court in broad daylight to force the court to kill the official. Is it? My lord—not guilty!"

Shen Yue smiled, "I have long heard that Mr. Zhang looks like Guan Gong, and I was so courageous. When I saw it today, it was true—even dared to disobey the Holy Majesty's will. I really learned a lot." He flicked his sleeves, Returning the sword to the sheath, he turned to face the crowd, and said respectfully: "Master Gu is the leader in the seat, and I dare to ask Mr. Gu for advice?"

The one who was targeted was Jining Governor Gu Cun, the old man was hiding in the crowd, when he heard his name, he hurriedly stood up and dared not say anything, but Shen Yue was very polite to him, and bowed to him, "I am an official today!" I first went to Jining, and I haven't had time to pay respects to all the adults, so I know it's very presumptuous, so I apologize in advance." After saying that, he bowed his hands in a salute, his words were extremely sincere, and he was a different person from the stern one just now.All the people present were either Jining officials or people from the Department of River Transportation. The Ministry of Industry had no branch in Jining. Except for Zhang Zhiqing and Yuan Wailang, Shen Yue had the highest position. It is more than enough to make a little trouble for him, so Shen Yue is quite courteous to them, and strives to be courteous.All the officials didn't figure out Shen Yue's way, they just refused to answer, they all looked at Gu Cun who was called by the imperial envoy.

Gu Cun sighed, knowing that if he doesn't speak today, he won't be able to speak in the future.He has been an official for many years, and he is mature and prudent, so he immediately said implicitly, "Master Shen has just arrived in office, and the handover procedures have not yet been completed. It is a bit inappropriate to handle Mr. Zhang's affairs at this time. Why don't you go through the handover first, and I will listen carefully later. The Holy One spoke."

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who said it was an oral order?"

Gu Cun was stunned, he thought to himself that you are only a young man with fresh blood, and you are so eager to do things, if you have a purpose, why didn't you show it just now?

Zhang Zhiqing slapped his thigh, "What Master Gu said is true! Dare I ask Master Shen, what is his intention?"

Shen Yue's face remained unchanged, and he asked in a harmonious voice: "If there is His Majesty's order, would Jining Prefecture dare to appoint Governor Zhang?"

These words were obviously aimed at Gu Cun, Gu Cun frowned, and said: "That's natural."

Shen Yue raised his hand, took out a bright yellow scroll from his bosom, and slowly unfolded it—"Gu Cun accepts the order!"

The officials present were terrified. These people had been in office for many years, and most of them had never received the order. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do.Even if Gu Cun was old enough, his white hair trembled in shock and his steps were vain, and he was able to kneel down tremblingly only with the support of the master secretary. He collected himself and said loudly: "Your servant, Gu Cun, accepts the order!"

The officials panicked and hurriedly bowed down to the ground. Shen Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that this test had been passed.The decree was simple, but it was only two sentences. He finished reading it calmly, handed the bright yellow satin scroll into Gu Cun's trembling hands, and said in a gentle voice: "Old man, his ambition is a thousand miles away. Master Gu, the Holy Majesty said, 'He believes You are still the same Gu Sui who pleaded for the people's life back then."

Gu Cun was already in tears, he clenched the scroll tightly, trying to restrain the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely do my best to help Mr. Shen build embankments and rescue disasters. Teach the flood to invade an inch of my land in Jining!"

Shen Yue smiled slightly, and reached out to help him up, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Your Majesty has high hopes for you. You should take care of your health and seek benefits for the people."

Gu Cun held Shen Yue's hand, wiped away the muddy tears from the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "Master Shen taught me a lesson."

Just when the old and the young were sympathetic to each other, there was a sudden boom in the hall, and it turned out that Zhang Zhiqing's huge body fell headfirst.The officials didn't wake up like a dream until now, and hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate.

None of them expected that there were only fourteen words in the will!

"Quickly kill Zhang Zhiqing, and lead the rescue work together with Shen Yue."

Shen Yue observed the surrounding situation and knew that today's situation was under his control, so he slightly raised his voice and said softly: "My lords, don't panic, the Holy Majesty is aware of Zhang Zhiqing's actions, and ordered his subordinates to come to Jining to assist everyone Handling this case while doing disaster relief, the Holy Majesty wants to be executed in public, I wonder what you think about it?"

At this time, Zhang Zhiqing had already fallen and the monkeys scattered. Everyone came to their senses and began to scramble to incriminate the former Governor-General, denouncing his hegemonic behavior. It's all about stealing state funds, neglecting duties and ignoring civil affairs, and then it becomes more difficult to hear, and everything is said about bullying men and women, raising fourteen concubines and the like.Gu Cun felt that his face was dull, and said to Shen Yue in a low voice: "Lord Shen, Zhang Zhiqing is the governor of the river transport appointed by the Holy Majesty. With so many serious crimes, the court's face may not be very good."

Shen Yuezheng was happy to hear this, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Gu, there are quite a few officials in Qilu who have been taken care of by Zhang Zhiqing."

Gu Cun blushed and stopped talking.Shen Yue laughed secretly, and then gently advised: "I heard that Jining is the worst disaster, and my father is also very concerned. He said that after all, my lord is old and has bad joints, so it is better not to kiss the embankment."

Gu Cun was really shocked. His family was poor in his early years, and he only went to Beijing to rush for the exam when he was in his forties. It was Shen Chifeng who took the exam back then, so he was his teacher, but Shen Chifeng had students all over the world, so he had no hope of being accepted. This sect master remembered, so although he knew that the son of the sect master was appointed this time, he did not intend to mention this.

Shen Yue's words just rightly satisfied the old man's vanity and sense of justice, and Gu Cun unconsciously puffed up his chest, "Then when he was elected in the middle school, the master of the sect carefully told him to be an official in Qingming, and then he went to the office I dare not or forget it for a day."

When he changed his name, he turned the official business into a personal friendship. Seeing this, Shen Yue added in a timely manner, "Uncle Gu is right. My father also told me to leave Beijing the day before yesterday. My father also said that my nephew I'm new to the officialdom and have little experience, so I have to rely on Uncle Gu a lot for everything I do when I go south, I hope you can teach my nephew a lot on his behalf."

Gu Cun twitched his long beard, and said with a smile: "My nephew is well-known in the world when he was young, and regardless of the high school ranking in the palace examination, the song "March in the Army" alone is enough to shame us scholars! Keep it in mind, it is right to take care of you. What advice you give, I really don't know what to say."

Shen Yue hit the snake with the stick, "How to deal with the Zhang Zhiqing matter? The Holy Majesty didn't propose a crime, and I'm afraid it means that we should impeach him──"

Gu Cun's wrinkled old face showed a sly look, as if he was mocking Shen Yue's ignorance, "Let's leave the matter of impeachment to Yushitai. This old man has a lot of friendship with Lin Zhongcheng, and Zhezi will come up soon."

Shen Yue blushed when she heard this, and quickly changed the subject, "Then, can Uncle Gu send some people to my nephew? Beijing has already allocated funds, and the relief supplies from Jiangnan will arrive soon. My nephew wants to open it quickly." The treasury of the river transport is also good for storing food, medicine, stone and wood.”

Gu Cun was very excited when he heard that, the disaster relief matter was as urgent as sparks, but the various supplies at the Governor's Mansion were delayed again and again, and both the quantity and quality failed.It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, so he can't do anything even if he stays on the embankment every day!At this time, thinking of being free from the constraints of the governor's yamen, it is hard to restrain the refreshing feeling in my heart, and the appreciation for Shen Yue is also from the bottom of my heart, "Young man, you have it!"

Shen Yue didn't dare to say that, secretly using his internal energy, his ears turned red, and he handed out the key to the storehouse of the Heyun Yamen.When Gu Cun saw it, he was overjoyed, and after chatting with him a few words, he left in a hurry. He wanted to go back to the government office to explain, to clean up the warehouse here to receive supplies, to prepare Zhang Zhiqing for crimes, and to send someone I went to Jinan to collect the remaining supplies from the warehouse of the Heyun Yamen, but I was busy.As soon as Gu Cun left, everyone in the hall also left with excuses, Shen Yue responded with a smile, sent everyone out of the door one by one, and then led An Sheng to the Heyun yamen to report.
