Chapter 199 The Governor's Instructions
This winter in Hangzhou is particularly cold, with more snow than usual for a few years, and even ice.
But no matter how bad the weather was, it could not stop Aman's brisk steps. She wore a beautiful silk jacket and ran to the silent room on time, and sent a sincere invitation: "Uncle, let's go out for fun."
Silent and afraid of the cold, he would never go out in this kind of weather, so he smiled and said, "Aman, let's roast loaches." After that, he kicked out the hard-earned iron pillar and asked him to dig loaches in the lake... In winter, all the loaches were hiding in the mud, completely losing their agility, the stupid ones were just right to catch, and the fat ones were just delicious.
Rou Niang was grinding the ink for Chen Si. He chuckled and said, "Sir, are you still writing a letter?" Chen Si returned and stayed for three or five days, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about those messy things for now, so as not to affect your appetite."
Aman nodded seriously and said, "Baking loaches is more important."
Chen Si laughed and asked Rou Niang to prepare the ingredients. Rou Niang was also familiar with the journey. After a while, she came back with a tray. In addition to the essential seasonings, there were also several plates of mushrooms, mushrooms, chicken wings, fresh shells, etc., which were all the favorites of Chen Si and Aman on weekdays.
Aman was so happy that he was about to fly up and circled around Rou Niang and said, "Sister is so good." Uncle Shen was very depressed when he heard this.
Chen Mo and Rouna worked together to open the cover of the smoke cage outside, and then divide it with an iron rack, which was a square barbecue... Of course, the designer's original intention, but Chen Mo insisted on using it like this, and no one could do anything about him. First, roast a few skewers to satisfy Xiao Aman's cravings, wait for the iron pillar to come back, then wash the loach and use iron tongs to skewers, and then arrive at this meal.
In this twelfth lunar month, silent barbecue technology has made rapid progress. One hand is plucking the loach on the rack like a piano, and the other hand holds a wolf hair pen produced in Huzhou, dip it in Rou Niang's carefully prepared seasonings while grilling. The movements are elegant and orderly. When the loach is roasted to brown, the flavor of the seasonings is also roasted.
First, roast a few skewers to satisfy the cravings of the impatient little Aman. Aman is very good at eating. She peeled off the browned skin first, revealing the white and tender meat inside, and sent it to Chen Si's mouth, and asked him to take a bite first. Chen Si's mouth lightly took a small bite, and Aman happily sipped in small bites. It was not that they pretended to be gentle, but because there were internal organs inside, they had to bite gently and taste it slowly.
Several people were barbecuing in a luxuriously decorated room. Of course, I didn't feel weird, but when outsiders came in, they would definitely be shocked when they saw this scene. Even an experienced old man like Zhang Jing almost thought he was sleepwalking.
Until he was silent and greeted him enthusiastically, when Aman brought a string of fragrant loaches to his mouth, the boss's governor reacted and murmured, "You are too troublesome, right?"
Hearing the owner's comment, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'll make fun of myself with the child, so that the adults can laugh." As he said that, he asked Governor Zhang to speak to calligraphy.
Rou Niang presented incense tea to the two adults, so she closed the thick wooden door, and the study room suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Jing held the teacup and sipped it lightly before, and said lightly: "As soon as the imperial edict arrives tomorrow, Li Tianchong and I are going to get out." The official channels always have to be slower. In fact, the whole Zhejiang knows this news.
He whispered silently, "I'm sorry, I didn't help the ministry." He has been hiding in the room these days because he was afraid of seeing the governor who was about to serve.
Instead, Zhang Jing looked peaceful, and there was no heavy silence between his eyebrows and eyes. He only smiled and said, "Ge Lao Xu wrote to me and told me the whole story. I knew that he could take the punishment of "never tell me", which was a blessing to invite heaven... Although he said that Governor Lu helped me with righteousness, his intuition told me that your report was the main force." As he said that, he looked at Chen Silently and laughed: "I'm very curious, can I reveal it?"
Chen Silently said softly: "If there was no big man who wanted to save you, even if the student wrote in a scattered manner, it would be useless."
Seeing that he refused to talk too much, Zhang Jing knew that there must be hidden information, so he no longer asked, but bowed deeply and said, "No matter what, I must thank my words for help."
Chen Si quickly turned sideways and said, "Sir, I am so ashamed of the student."
The two of them sat back, and Zhang Jing's expression became more and more serious. He only heard him say in a deep voice: "My words, what do you think about the future situation in Zhejiang?"
"Take a sharp turn." There is no need to hide his weakness at this time. Jing Jing simply said whatever he said: "After the big victory, the coach was tragically dismissed. This is a heavy blow to the situation of fighting against the Japanese. Especially after you go, you can find one in the court, which can suppress all the generals and the officials of the wolf clay soldiers. One is rising and the other is falling, which will undoubtedly greatly stabilize the morale of the Japanese and pirates and help increase their arrogance." He sighed and said, "They will definitely take revenge wildly at the beginning of next spring..."
"You're right. Next spring will be harder than winter." Zhang Jing smiled faintly, "But you don't have to be too pessimistic."
"Sir, please give me advice." Silent said solemnly.
"Actually there is nothing mysterious." Zhang Jing said softly: "After this year of hard fighting, the military and civilians of Zhejiang are no longer so panicked. Especially in the battle of Wang Jiangjing, they knew that the main force of the Japanese/pirates could be defeated. This accumulation of confidence and experience is the biggest gain of this battle." As he said that, he looked at him calmly and said silently: "So you have to protect the troops participating in the war, especially the generals who led the troops. As long as they are there, Zhejiang will be in chaos."
Chen Si smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Sir, you should say this to Lord Zhou."
"I can only tell you." Zhang Jing said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yu can't do it for a long time!"
At his decisiveness, the silence was very surprised: "As far as I know, Master Yan recommended Mr. Zhao at that time, but was rejected by His Majesty and asked Master Xu to recommend him. It was then Zhou Zhongcheng's turn? It can be seen that Master Yan was determined not to let Master Yan get involved in this governor."
Zhang Jing smiled and shook his head and said, "Do you know why I was removed?"
"It is said that it was the result of the struggle above." Chen Silent said softly.
"Don't look at Yan Song's power, if Your Majesty wants to protect me, he will not dare to say anything." Zhang Jing lowered his voice and said, "So Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with me is the fundamental reason."
He continued silently: "It's not for anything else, but because my anti-Japanese strategy is completely opposite to Your Majesty's thinking." Zhang Jing said calmly: "Your Majesty hopes to fight quickly, but I slowly plan to do it, so I will naturally be dissatisfied with me and I am happy to see the Yan Party knock me down."
Chen Si opened his eyes wide and said incrediblely: "Sir, if this is the case, no one can do this Southeast Governor." Because the situation in the Southeast is here, it would be useless to invite Chang Yuchun out of the grave.
"This is unpleasant, but it is true." Zhang Jing smiled irresponsibly: "Only by waiting for Your Majesty to change it a few more times, knowing that no one can fight quickly, that lucky governor can work with peace of mind." As he said, he looked deep and silent, he said: "But you are different. Your Majesty appointed you as the inspector and military supervisor this time. Although his official position is not high, he can supervise both the military and political circles, which is much better than a single inspector... And he will not let you do a specific official seal official, this is a protection for you."
"Protect?"
"The current imperial court is dominant, but its reputation is unfamous." Zhang Jing sneered: "When you get mixed with these people, you will be like grass growing on feces. If you are fat, you will be fat and it will be difficult to get rid of your own defilement. Once the Yan party falls, you will never think of standing in the court." He smiled and said: "If you don't do a job, you can detach yourself from the complex factions, but you can give all the supervisory power, so that they can't help you or dare to fight. What's this not protection?" As he said that, he bowed to Silently and said: "Congratulations to Brother Shen, now the whole Zhejiang knows that you are the person in His Majesty's bag, and no one will be in trouble with you."
These silences were also thought of, but the future was too far away and Emperor Jiajing was too fickle. Who knew if he would still think of himself in a few days? So he was not excited and just said softly: "I'm afraid that the students don't have that great ability."
"It's not that you are protecting you all." Zhang Jing shook his head and smiled, "No matter who will be the governor in the future, for a long time, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian will have the final say in Zhejiang. So Lu Tong doesn't have to worry about you, he and Hu Zongxian have long been in a relationship. Tang Kekuan, you are useless to worry about you. He is too close to me and is too arrogant. If Hu Zongxian wants to establish his authority, he will definitely attack him. As for Tan Lun and Tang Shunzhi, they are all old people, and there is no need to worry about you at all." He paused and said, "What I am worried about is Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang. They are both military generals without factions and are most likely to become victims of others."
He said silently: "As long as I stay in Zhejiang for one day, I will do my best to fulfill your instructions."
Zhang Jing nodded with a smile, and then hesitated: "There is another thing that is a bit difficult for people. You can agree, and it doesn't matter if you don't agree."
"Sir, let's talk first."
"Wolf Clay Soldiers." Zhang Jing sighed and said, "Just as you are worried, it will be a big problem when I leave them... In the end, I can't deal with it, and the court will definitely send them all away."
"That's a pity." Chen Si saw the powerful strength of the wolf clay soldiers and knew that if they were not in front of him, the official army would probably have immediately appeared.
