Although the promotion of military positions is not the same as that of civil officials, and departments like Jinyiwei depend to a large extent on holy family members and merits, but like Suizhou, in just over a year, the general flag has been raised to thousands of people. It is still very eye-catching.
When the head of Beizhen Fusi was taken down by Yuan Bin, the thousands of households below them all stared at this position, but it turned out that Suizhou came to the top, which made everyone a little unconvinced. Overtly and secretly, he stumbled upon him. For example, the tasks that should have been completed, he was obedient, procrastinating, etc., and some people saw Suizhou with a cold face all day long, and felt that a person like him must be very harsh to his subordinates, so he made people Changed the way to approach Xue Ling and the others, and wanted to see if they could dig out some handles, so that they could complain to the top and pull him down from his position.
Look, don't think that Jin Yiwei is not a civil official, and he doesn't have so many minds. In official circles, there is never a shortage of tricks, sneak attacks and ambush. A spy agency like Jin Yiwei, who is used to investigating, does this kind of work. Even more so.
There are those who set traps secretly, there are those who read jokes behind their backs, and there are those who rush to flatter. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This sentence works everywhere.
Within a few days, someone will sue Yuan Bin, saying that not long after Suizhou took office, he forced them to train and added many training programs that were not there before. This is to torture the entire Beizhen Fusi. The rhythm of death, if you don't care about it, I'm afraid everyone can't stand it.
Yuan Bin is seventy-eight years old this year, and he has never seen any scenes. As the commander of Jinyiwei, he is condescending. He naturally sees all kinds of people's hearts clearly, but he didn't say anything, didn't do anything, neither did anything to Sui Zhou extended a helping hand, and did not call Sui Zhou over to reprimand him because his subordinates complained, he just waited and watched.
If Sui Zhou couldn't even solve these difficulties, then he wouldn't be worthy to sit in that position.
Sure enough, soon, everyone stopped.
Jinyiwei is also a military general in essence, and they also have to practice routinely on weekdays, but as the time from the founding of the country is getting longer and longer, many people will inevitably become more and more slack, and this daily practice is useless. Even the Jingying has become a showpiece on the battlefield. Although Jinyiwei still performs the function of "driving the guards directly, inspecting and arresting", it is no longer as fierce and fierce as when the country was first founded.
Coupled with the suppression of the East Factory, the West Factory was born, and more and more authority of Jin Yiwei was taken away, making them more and more aggrieved and incompetent, which is why they were investigating the matter of the White Lotus Sect. The reason why Jin Yiwei has always gained very little.
After Suizhou took charge of the Beizhen Fusi, the first thing to change was this ethos, so he gave a death order, starting at the beginning of each month, once every three days, in the morning, except for those on duty and those in the foreign office. Everyone must go to the school grounds for training for two hours. All training standards are compared to Beijing Camp, and Suizhou has added some additional training items.
For many people who have long been accustomed to sleeping until three poles in the sun and lingering in brothels and gambling halls at night, of course they can't stand it. Everyone complained a lot, and even went to Yuan Bin to complain, saying that this Sui Qianhu official is not a big official, but he is majestic. Not small, in order to show off his authority, he took everyone's life seriously, abused his subordinates, and had no humanity.
Originally, Yuan Bin couldn't just sit back and ignore such a large-scale complaint, but no one knew that Suizhou had already greeted him.
Before the training, Suizhou had already approached Yuan Bin, reported his plans one by one, and explained the purpose and reason. It happened that Yuan Bin couldn't stand Jin Yiwei being spoiled by Wantong. That's why many people ran The reason why Yuan Bin was unmoved when he came to report Suizhou.
In everything, you must first seek the understanding and understanding of your superiors. When you know that what you are doing is right, the opinions of your subordinates are not so important. Any behavior to change the status quo will encounter resistance, but if you are afraid of resistance, you will do nothing. If you do it, Suizhou will wait for someone to take over...
Seeing the complaint was useless, everyone could only follow Suizhou's order and come to the school grounds for training helplessly.
The first time, after a quarter of an hour, there are still nearly ordinary people who have not arrived. These people are all pulled to play the board, each of them has ten boards, and they have to continue training after the end. If they are late next time, they will add another ten sticks. , next time, and so on.
Everyone saw that Suizhou was really serious, and no one dared to be late for the second time.
But for the training plan he listed, including putting a bowl of water on top of his head, standing under the sun and squatting for half an hour, he also had to hold a 10-pound weight in both hands. If the water spilled, Even if it violates the regulations and needs to continue to extend for half an hour, many people objected that it was too painful and tiring, and Jin Yiwei, who had been spoiled for a long time, said that they could not stand it, and it was impossible to complete it within two hours.
Without saying a word, Sui Zhou went on stage and demonstrated it in person. Everyone saw with his own eyes that he came down for half an hour, not to mention that the bowl above his head hadn't fallen, and even the water in the bowl hadn't spilled a single drop, so he was completely convinced.
Xue Ling and those people don't need to say, they have always followed in Suizhou's footsteps, and Suizhou can do whatever he wants, and there is no use. , I can only give up my heart and train with a straight face.
However, Suizhou did not insist on strict requirements. At the end of each month, he would invite everyone to dinner, and those who performed well would be rewarded with additional rewards. Of course, the money was all from public funds. His people are in charge of the Nanbei Town and Fusi Company. The money is often used privately by public funds and spent indiscriminately. The people below don't want to touch it. Everyone has no benefits, so naturally they can only extend their hands to the bottom.
After Suizhou took office, he ordered people to re-do the accounts, and each expenditure must be recorded clearly, so that an extra amount of silver can be withdrawn to appease people's hearts, and naturally everyone is happy.
After three months like this, when everyone gradually got used to this kind of harsh training, there were fewer complaints. The atmosphere of the entire Beizhen Fusi was completely new, at least there were some changes compared to before. This change is of course a good thing. Yes, if nothing else, the efficiency of case handling has improved a lot this month.
A boss who leads by example and has clear rewards and punishments is of course much better than a boss who only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble, and who only takes the benefits to himself all day long. Although Suizhou is much stricter than the original pacifist envoy, there are also strict rules. Strict advantages, at least those who have a good relationship with the old boss can no longer steal and play tricks, and those subordinates who can't hold the boss's thighs don't have to worry about being put on small shoes...
Unconsciously, Sui Zhou's position became more and more stable, and he gradually put his own brand on these people.
On this day, Tang Fan came out of the yamen of the Ministry of Officials. He was in good spirits on happy occasions, and even walked a little lightly with his feet. Seeing that it was still early, he turned in a different direction, instead of going home, he went to Beizhen Fu. manage.
Since Suizhou was promoted, he has not been here. The loose access control in the past is now much stricter. The people on duty don't know him. When I stopped him, I heard that he wanted to see Sui Zhou, and his expression became even more strange.
"Who are you? What's your purpose in looking for Lord Zhenfu Envoy?" The Jinyiwei on duty asked, his attitude was not very good. If it wasn't for Tang Fan wearing an official uniform, he would have suspected that the other party would come to find his own happiness.
No wonder he thought so.
Most of the civil servants cherish feathers and cherish their reputation. Generally, they are reluctant to be "invited" when they come to the door. There are very few people like Tang Fan who come to the door voluntarily.
Tang Fan said: "I, Tang Fan, are a friend of your Zhenfu envoy. Please let me know. If he has already been sent to the government office, please ask him to come out."
Strictly speaking, Suizhou can't be called the governor of the government, because he is only temporarily taking this position, but in the officialdom, people have always been elevated, like deputy Qianhu, others directly call Qianhu, remove the deputy. Words, people who listen to it are also comfortable and refreshing.
The person on duty gave him a suspicious look, and he didn't believe that someone like his new Beizhen Fu Envoy would actually have friends. Besides, this person's rank was also low, and he thought that this person could not be just bragging. Do you want to climb the town and make the envoy
Seeing his doubts, Tang Fan smiled and said, "Excuse me, this brother, if he doesn't see me, I'll go home."
It's not that the other party is deliberately making things difficult, but recently the rules have become much stricter. If you rashly go in and disturb, and the weight of the person in front of you is not so heavy, you might be beaten.
So the man said with a stern face: "Sir Zhenfu has something important to do, you can come back another day!"
Tang Fan snorted: "Then let me ask, is he still inside or has he gone home already?"
The other party said: "It's still inside."
Tang Fan nodded: "Then I'll just wait for him here."
After speaking, he directly lifted his official robe, sat down on the steps next to him, took out a book from his arms and read it.
Jin Yiwei, who was on duty, squinted: "How can you be presumptuous at the entrance of Beizhen Fusi!"
What are you kidding me, a man who was sitting in front of the Zhenfusi's door was ruthlessly famous and ruthless, and it was so scary that people couldn't get up, okay
Tang Fan glanced at him slowly: "I told you to tell you but you refused, I'm here to read books and wait for others, so I won't get in your way, and besides, I didn't block the gate, it's not You got your butt on the side!"
The man on duty was speechless, and wanted to say something. The companion who was also guarding the door gave him a wink, and leaned over and whispered, "Are you stupid, so what if you go in and tell me, if he is Zhenfu? My friend, we must not offend anyone, if not, just drive him out!"
The man rolled his eyes at him: "You can really say, why don't you go by yourself?"
The companion smiled and said, "Just go, I will be praised by the envoy later, don't be jealous!"
The man was very unbelievable, but as soon as his companion turned around, he really went in to report.
After a while, he saw his companion hurried out from inside, smiled at Tang Fan and said, "My lord, the pacifier is busy now, but he asked you to wait for him first!"
He opened his mouth wide and watched his companion diligently introduce Tang Fan, before returning after a while, he quickly asked, "Who is this person?"
The companion said: "A friend of the Zhenfu Envoy, don't you know him? He said it just now, his name is Tang Fan. I heard that he still lives in the Zhenfu Envoy's house."
The man took a deep breath: "So good friendship?"
The companion said: "Isn't that right?"
The man paused and said depressedly, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
The companion laughed: "It's your own clumsiness, I have already reminded you, and you still haven't reported it. If the repressive envoy is to blame, I can't be reprimanded by you!"
The man was depressed and speechless, thinking that he had missed another chance to show his face in front of the boss.
Regardless of what the two Jin Yiwei thought, Tang Fan came to the school grounds under the guidance of the person on duty. Before he could see anyone, he heard shouts of killing in the distance. When he looked closer, he realized that the original school grounds Are fighting.
The two figures in the center of the field rose and fell, and the sword lights criss-crossed. They were not fighting dazzling fancy moves, but merciless and deadly killing moves. If you look closely, one of them is not the same. Suizhou!
He competed with another person in the field, and there was a circle of people around him, all of whom were booing and applauding.
Tang Fan swept around and found Xue Ling's figure in the crowd, so he walked over and patted someone's shoulder coldly.
Xue Ling was startled and was about to get angry, but when he looked back, his anger turned into joy: "Why are you here?"
Tang Fan chuckled: "I'm an idler, wandering around, you guys are competing? Why are you even playing the suffix?"
Xue Ling said with a smile: "The elder brother made a rule that there will be a competition at the end of each month. The contestant can challenge anyone, and the winner will be rewarded. Many people have been trained hard by the elder brother before, so they all hold back for a while. I'm so angry, I gave him a battle letter, and all of them were beaten down by the big brother, hehe, those people still don't know how powerful the big brother is, how can I not know
During the conversation, the winner and loser had already been decided on the field. The person who competed with Suizhou thought he was looking for the opponent's opening, and took the embroidered spring knife and swept over from behind in an attempt to make a sneak attack. As if his eyes were closed, his toes jumped into the air, flipped over in midair, kicked his opponent out, and when his body fell to the ground, with the strength of the ground, a carp hit hard and stood firm. on the ground.
The whole process is like flowing clouds and flowing water, extremely neat, and full of beauty of power. The onlookers applauded and cheered one after another!
Standing in the field, Sui Zhou was wearing only a pair of trousers, his upper body was naked, sweat dripped down his forehead and neck, and then slipped on his body. Such a strong physique also comes from continuous and hard training, and he does not slack off because he is suddenly in a high position.
He stared at the opponent who had been kicked to the ground by him, put his embroidered spring knife on the ground with his backhand, and said coldly, "If you don't accept it, come back."
At this time, Sui Zhou was completely immersed in the fight. For him, there was no difference between sparring and dueling. Since he has already played, he must go all out and take it seriously. This is not only respect for himself, but also for his opponent. respect.
The opponent he was staring at felt as if he was locked by a ferocious beast, he couldn't help shivering, and could no longer provoke any fighting intent, he hurriedly put away the knife, and cupped his hands: "No! No! No more! The adults are strong and strong, and the subordinates are willing to bow down!"
The people around burst into laughter. This man had already won all the people in the Beizhen Fusi for two consecutive months. He was probably a little proud of himself, so he proposed to challenge Suizhou. Many people have been defeated by Suizhou before. However, he thought that he would definitely be the exception, but he didn't expect that he would admit defeat in the end, which was a bit embarrassing.
As soon as the other party conceded defeat, Sui Zhou's fierce aura softened suddenly, he walked over, pulled the subordinate up with his own hands, and patted his shoulder again: "You are already very good, Sir Yuan intends to let us come with Jingying. A discussion to boost morale, and it will be up to you to win glory for our Beizhen Fusi!"
The subordinate was a little embarrassed at first, but when he heard this sentence, his heart surged again, and he said excitedly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best, and I will not lose face to our Beizhen Fusi!"
This way of hitting and pulling is really convincing.
Tang Fan put his hands behind his back and looked at the scene with a smile. He didn't rush forward. After Suizhou had inspired his subordinates, announced the end, and everyone dispersed, he walked over unhurriedly: "Zhenfu is so majestic. Ah, it seems that the right place is just around the corner!"
It's not that Suizhou didn't notice Tang Fan, but it was inconvenient to speak before. At this time, everyone had dispersed, only he looked at himself with a smile, thinking that he was not wearing an inch of thread on his upper body, but a trace of embarrassment flashed across his cold face. .
"How did you find this place? If there is no urgency, wait for me to bathe and change."
Tang Fan smiled and said, "You change it yourself, I'm not in a hurry. I'll invite you to dinner today, Xiankelou, do you want to go?"
Sui Zhou was going to the house where he changed his clothes. Hearing this, he stopped and raised his brows: "Where did the money come from?"
Master Tang is not financially free now. He spends half of his own money every month, and Suizhou keeps half of it, in order to prevent him from spending money recklessly. Money, basically no way.
Tang Fan laughed: "It fell from the sky!"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Suizhou was not in a hurry, he went to take a bath and changed his clothes, and only then did he find Tang Fan who was drinking tea in his own duty room.
"Let's go, let's eat!" Seeing him coming, Tang Fan got up and said.
Sui Zhou first shook his head, and then asked, "Are you promoted?"
Tang Fan had long expected that he could guess it, so he was not surprised when he heard this, and nodded cheerfully: "Yes!"
Suizhou: "What position?"
Tang Fan: "In the Ministry of Punishment, Henan, the Qing officials and the chief minister, the late mother gave a gift of five grades to Anren, and another hundred taels of silver."
The above three items are even a belated reward for Tang Fan's outstanding performance in the East Palace case and the child abduction case.
Sui Zhou's brows moved, and he immediately stretched out, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "This is a good thing, and it is indeed worth celebrating!"
Tang Fan said with a smile, "Although I don't insist that I have a high-ranking official and a rich salary, it is a joy to do something and get the due reward. You won't let me treat me this time?"
Suizhou nodded, but said, "You don't have to go out to eat, let A-Dong buy more ingredients tomorrow, and I'll cook at home."
When Tang Fan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. Suizhou could guarantee that he absolutely saw the light in those eyes, and he couldn't help laughing and laughing: "Do you like the meals I cook more than those in Xiankelou?"
Tang Fan laughed, and his elegant and elegant demeanor disappeared immediately: "That's natural, how can dishes made by Sui Guangchuan himself be worse than those produced by Xiankelou?"
His generous compliments made Sui Zhou unable to help his mouth rise a little more.
When the head of the family is in a good mood, the other two are naturally blessed.
That night, Suizhou rarely cooked, and made fish-flavored pork shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised lion head, and A-Dong also wrapped Tang Fan's unforgettable chicken feather vegetable dumplings, plus a cup on the red mud small fire. The simmered green plum wine—because A-Dong was young, this sweet and sour wine was only allowed to drink.
Before the meal, A-Dong filled Tang Fan and Suizhou with wine, then took the initiative to hold up the cups and said to them, "Congratulations to the promotion of Big Brother Sui, congratulations to Big Brother Sui for promotion!"
The two of them naturally laughed and drank it, Tang Fan said: "Actually, the three-year capital inspection has not yet been completed. Theoretically, I have not yet reached the time of promotion. It is just that Zhou Langzhong, the Qing official in Henan of the Ministry of Punishment, died of a sudden illness, and it happened to be empty there. A position is made, so I will fill it up first."
Sui Zhou nodded: "In officialdom, there are always more monks and less porridge. Although your yamen is not a fat man, but you managed to vacate a place, there must be many people who have broken their heads. You may have taken someone's job. Envy and jealousy, it's better to be careful when you first go."
In fact, there is no need for him to instruct him. Tang Fan looks free and easy, but he is not lacking in smoothness and prudence.
A-Dong asked curiously, "Brother, what rank are you now?"
Tang Fan said: "I was from the sixth rank before, but now I am the fifth rank, which is a level and a half."
A-Dong said happily: "After a few years, the eldest brother is estimated to be able to achieve the first rank?"
Tang Fan was annoyed: "You are my father when you become the emperor, and my family runs the Daming officialdom!"
A-Dong covered his mouth and smiled: "You want the emperor to be your father, but the emperor is still not happy!"
Tang Fan thought to himself, how sad it would be if I had such a father! As he raised his hand and gestured to beat her, A-Dong had been working harder and harder to learn kung fu from Sui Zhou since he was kidnapped. Tang Fan could only stare at her.
So everyone in this world has something that everyone is good at.
For example, A-Dong is not good at reading, but his talent in martial arts is unmatched by others, while Tang Fan can read and become an official, but when it comes to learning martial arts, no matter how hard he works, he has also experienced the Nancheng Gang. Afterwards, he also wanted to learn two tricks to stand by, but after half an hour of sprinting with A-Dong, the little A-Dong was sweating, but he still stood firmly in place with his teeth clenched. He was already stumbling around, foaming at the mouth and giving up.
He decided that instead of learning kung fu for self-defense, he should do less dangerous things in the future.
After getting the approval from the Ministry of Personnel, he can naturally report to the new department, but before that, Tang Fan still has to visit his old boss and senior brother Pan Bin to thank him for his cultivation over the past two years.
When Pan Bin learned that Tang Fan was about to be promoted to the punishment department, he was both relieved and disappointed.
It is gratifying that he and Tang Fan are both brothers and sisters of the same sect. With this level of relationship, they can look after each other in officialdom in the future. This little junior brother has a future, and it is not harmful to him.
What's lost is that Tang Fan is already a fifth-rank official on the 25th of this year. After leaving the Imperial Academy, although he entered Shuntian House on the way, he has now returned to the Sixth Department, and he has followed the orthodox promotion path of the former cabinet ministers. Young and promising, promising future.
On the other hand, although I was awarded a Jinshi back then, but because my ranking was not high, I was not able to be selected as a Shujishi, so I was one level less qualified than Tang Fan. Now that I am over forty years old, I have become a governor of Shuntian Prefecture. It seems to be very remarkable to outsiders, but in fact he understands in his heart that it is really difficult to go up further, because he has neither a background in the court nor the strong ability and qualifications himself.
Looking at Tang Fan, Pan Bin inevitably felt a wave of self-mutilation and self-pity that "the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach".
No matter what, he couldn't face Tang Fan with a sad face, and they didn't owe him any money, so Pan Bin was still in high spirits, took out his identity as a senior brother, congratulated Tang Fan first, and then Yin Yin instructed him to guard against arrogance and impatience, and not to become complacent because of this. The biggest enemy in the officialdom is often not others, but himself.
These are all based on experience. Tang Fan is naturally humbly taught. In the end, he stayed at Pan Bin's house for a light meal. The two brothers and sisters are still in the capital. .
Besides, when Tang Fan handed over the errands in Shuntian Prefecture and reported to the Punishment Department, it was already summer in early May.
This year is the fifteenth year of Chenghua.
And just two days after entering the punishment department, Tang Fan found out that he was inexplicably isolated.
