Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.

Heavy snow can freeze pests in the fields and soil, and can also maintain the moisture of crops, so there is such a saying among the people.

The heavy snow during the New Year in Guide Prefecture is very festive for the people.

After this heavy snowfall, it indicates that Guide Mansion will have a good harvest this year.

While farmers are in the joy of the festival, the officialdom of Guide Mansion is about to be promoted and is full of joy.

Fu Zhiyuan was promoted to three levels in a row and to the right governor of Henan, which shocked the entire Henan officialdom.

It is not enough to describe a rise to the top and reach the sky. Such an official myth.

When every official knew that Fu Zhiyuan was promoted to the right governor of Henan, he was dumbfounded and thought that there was such an operation. After Ma Yu's incident, Fu Zhiyuan was now a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Now, in Guide Mansion, the Wen Police Officer of the Fuyuan has arrived early.

You should know that the governor's yamen has no subordinates, only escorts. As for civil and military police, they are appointed by miscellaneous military officers. The civil and military officers are used to pass on orders by civil servants, and the military officers are used to pass on orders by military officers.

The prime minister's disciple is a seventh-rank official, and the governor's disciple is also an eighth-rank official. The policeman usually goes to the local government to pass orders, but he has no good expression on his face to the local officials.

But now when he arrived at Guide Office, he restrained his arrogance and kowtowed to Fu Zhiyuan and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Lord Fu Tai, Lord Fu Tai said that Fang Bozhi's appointment was from the emperor's special order and was awarded by the nine ministers. The emperor was the right governor of Henan. This special slip is a rare kindness in the world, and it is also the concern of the emperor to the people of Henan."

"Therefore, Lord Futai should go to the mansion to announce the edict and thank the heavens with Fang Bo."

After hearing what Policeman Wen said, Fu Zhiyuan's eyes were already wet, and the followers on the side were wiped away tears.

This is simply a joy from heaven!

Not to mention the three levels of promotion, just talk about the emperor's special long ethics.

You should know that the appointment of officials above the third rank of the Ming Dynasty must be recommended by the Nine Palaces.

The general process is that a certain person is vacant, and the Ministry of Personnel will write the names of two or three officials, then ask the nine ministers to discuss, elect candidates, and then report them to the Emperor's Holy Sect.

This is the meaning of the title of the people in the court, and the people who are not allowed to be private and to share the same principles with the public. It is a model for the emperors and scholars of the Ming Dynasty to rule the world together.

But Fu Zhiyuan's appointment was different. The emperor issued a special order to the Ministry of Personnel, and then the nine ministers would recommend it and finally appoint it.

This method of using people has been used for a long time.

Because the emperor did not accept the nine ministers' advice, the subordinates slapped the emperor in the face. The emperor wanted to use his personal position without the consent of the civil servant, who would use whom he would like to use? Huh? Go dreaming!

Any minister who has backbone and dares to despise the imperial power will not agree. If the Minister of Personnel dares to obey the order, all scholars in the world will be in a state of excitement.

But Fu Zhiyuan was the emperor's special secret, and then the nine ministers would unanimously recommend it as the right governor of Henan.

What does this mean? It means that Fu Zhiyuan deserves his reputation. Whether it is the emperor or the civil servant, he agrees that you must be the one who is Fu.

Therefore, the Minister of Personnel is not afraid of being criticized by the public and being attacked by the scholars, selling the favor of the emperor.

Finally, we summarize it in four words, that is, "I am confident in the public's expectations."

Fu Zhiyuan's eyes were wet at this moment, and his chief aide, Master Tang, had already stood up and bowed: "My little man, congratulations to Dongweng, congratulations to Dongweng!"

The servants below also bowed to Fu Zhiyuan and said, "Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master."

Fu Zhiyuan wiped away his tears and said to himself that he had lost his composure just now. He didn't expect that he would still be keen on his career for so long.

Fu Zhiyuan walked out of the hall with his whole official robe, bowed to the north solemnly, and said loudly: "My memory, Fu Zhiyuan, thanked God for your kindness!"

After Fu Zhiyuan got up, Police Officer Wen also followed him to congratulate Fu Zhiyuan again, and then said, "Fu Fangbo, the National Guard, the Central Envoy, and the provincial officials will come to announce the edict. You should prepare quickly and thank God at that time."

Fu Zhiyuan said seriously: "I understand."

While talking, Fu Zhiyuan's old wife came.

Fu Zhiyuan hurried forward and said, "You are in poor health, why are you coming out?"

The old wife said, "When I heard the good news, why did I stay in bed? Congratulations to the master, I immediately ordered my wealth to come back to my hometown to report the good news and comfort my parents-in-law in the sky."

Fu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "It should be that this is all the grace of the Lord. Alas, it's just that Fu is honest all his life, and it's hard for you to suffer for half a lifetime."

When the old wife heard this, she burst into tears and said, "As an official, you are worthy of the heaven and earth, the emperor, and the people. How can you endure hardships and not suffer? Today, the master will be able to see the moon clear, and he will be dedicated to the people and not change his ambitions. The ancestors and ancestors of the family are enough to comfort him."

Fu Zhiyuan nodded, and immediately ordered his servants to send wedding money to Police Force.

Several servants pieced together for a long time before they gave three taels of silver. Police Officer Wen was not angry when he saw that only three taels of silver was gone, but thought that Fu Zhiyuan was really honest and had been traveling for dozens of miles.

Fu Zhiyuan's follower was happy, and the officials in the mansion did not slow down. Several of the second-in-commissioned officials put on red clothes and went forward to congratulate. The officials under him also wore red hats and congratulated one after another.

The official seal official in the mansion was promoted, and it was a special order. It was a rare event in a row. With this east wind, the officials also wanted to benefit from it and take advantage of the situation.

Some officials in the mansion also sighed that when they first came to the mansion, they all felt that Lao Fu was too straightforward and could not get mixed with sand in his eyes, and had no background. They were not as skilled as Lin Yanchao, and they were a lecturer every day and a proud disciple of the Pavilion Master.

Therefore, they would rather flatter Lin Yanchao than stay away from Zhiyuan.

But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

The last person who was promoted was Fu Zhiyuan. When could the honest official do such a good job?

It was a collective miscalculation, and everyone was blind.

When Lin Yanchao rushed back to the government office, he saw the scene of the lights and colorful lights in the government office.

He was so angry that he felt like he was making wedding dresses for others.

He bribed the emperor 200,000 taels, but Fu Zhiyuan didn't give him a penny. Why did the emperor promote him? He was simply a foolish emperor.

And this is a special order! After the emperor ascended the throne, no, it should be said that after the Jiajing year, several officials had such grace.

Imbalance, imbalance.

There was no choice but to go to Zhengtang with a tough bullet and congratulate Fu Zhiyuan.

At this time, several officials from the prefecture, as well as the magistrates who rushed over to hear the news, were congratulating Fu Zhiyuan.

The atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious.

For example, Lin Yanchao promoted the former prosecutor, and the current grain capture magistrate Ma Tong, was dealing with Zhiyuan with admiration: "Fang Bo, when he asked for his orders for the people, he put life and death aside. Who among us officials did not admire Fang Bo in his heart and took Fang Bo as an example? Now Fang Bo has been promoted to three levels in a row, which is the wise eyes of the court, and the emperor has seen thousands of miles."

The other officials also said: "Bo Fang's promotion this time shows that the court is still upright and the backbone of my scholar is still there."

Wear the high hat one by one.

Lin Yanchao smiled and walked in. When the officials saw Lin Yanchao coming, they all stood up to greet him.

Ma Zhizhou and Lin Yanchao have always been disagreement, and now he deliberately said: "Sima, Lord Fu has been promoted. This is a great joy. We are the blessing of the people who are destined to be kind to the people."

Ma Zhizhou actually said in his heart, what? So what? Lin Yanchao built a hundred-mile dike and opened a thousand hectares of silt fields? So what if you give the people money for green seedlings and stabilize the price of grain?

You have been working hard for a long time, but the court promoted Fu Zhiyuan, not you, Lin Yanchao. You are not working for nothing.

The officials below have long had opinions on Lin Yanchao's large-scale construction projects.

I think it's too much trouble. It's better to have less money than an official. However, after Lin Yanchao came to De De to govern the river, he issued various indicators and was meticulous, just as strict as today's KPI assessment.

Officials are used to being idle and asking them to work are complaining, but when they are taken by Lin Yanchao, they can only work hard.

But other officials are smart and don't speak.

Ma Zhizhou said to the left as if no one was around: "So you should know that being an official should be the first priority to cultivating virtue. If you have virtue, you will have merits. If you have merits, you will be the last step."

Lin Yanchao was too lazy to pay attention to it, and smiled and said nothing.

"This statement is wrong," Fu Zhiyuan stood up and said, "Everyone, Sima Lin has the talent of Guan Zhong, and can compete with the world. Fu is not as good as Fu!"

"Now, the people who are respected by the flooding of the Yellow River, and those who are warm in clothing and have enough food are all due to Lin Sima. What is a great virtue? Great virtue is not in the ethics of officials, but in the porridge, meals and clothes of every commoner! The people who live a good life are great virtues. Compared with this, Fu Mou's little virtue is insignificant."

Lin Yanchao was stunned. Fu Zhiyuan said that there was another meaning in his words that the silt field belonged to Xiao De, so he would not care about him for the time being.

The officials were also shocked. They did not expect Fu Zhiyuan to praise Lin Yanchao so much.

Just then someone applauded outside and said, "Okay!"

Everyone looked at the governor Yang Yikui, wearing a big red robe, crossed the threshold and strode into the house. Behind them, Gong Daqi, the left governor, Yang Yigui, and the provincial officials came together.

Fu Zhiyuan and Lin Yanchao hurriedly greeted him and said, "I don't know how to comfort the Taiwan Strait, but the arrival of the vassal state will make you miss the welcome!"

Yang Yikui smiled and said, "The carriage in the middle is broken, and he is still changing horses and carriages at the post station. Yang and all the lords take the lead, first, to congratulate Brother Fu, and second, to take the opportunity to fight Qiufeng, so he did not make a public comment and became a bad guest. It was just right. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have listened to Brother Fu's brilliant words!"

As he said that, Gong Daqi and other officials all laughed.

Fu Zhiyuan, Lin Yanchao and the officials of Guide Mansion also laughed.

Yang Yikui turned around and asked the officials in the hall: "May I ask you, what is a great virtue and great merit?"

The officials showed deep thoughts.

But seeing Yang Yikui said seriously, "I am honest and self-reliant, and I will not take any advantage of the people. Is it virtue? Is it merit?"

"I am not good at the best, not afraid of violence, and put the people first, is it virtue? Is it merit?"

"Ask for the people without regard for life and death, without regard for honor and disgrace, is it virtue? Is it merit?"

"Build a dike and open a field, and the green seedlings are lost, and the people are hanged upside down. Is it a virtue? Is it a merit?"

"Take people's hatred as one's own hatred, take people's hatred as one's own hatred, kill treacherous and slanderous, eliminate harm for the people, exert great righteousness in the world, and return the sun and the moon to Zhao Zhao, is it virtue? Is it merit?"

Yang Yikui's words echoed in the hall. When the officials listened, their expressions were solemn, and some people were moved.
Chapter completed!
