Chapter Seventy Seven
...
Seeing Tang Ruji's solemn statement, he knew silently that his plan must not only be cleared, but also not to point it out. He is not afraid of the greatest size of people, but also fears that people will not have them.
Since he expressed his feelings to Chen Si, he should be his own person, Tang Ruji asked carefully: "Sir, I don't know what the court's attitude towards the current situation in the southeast?" He was also a Beijing official, so he naturally knew that Chen Si could not stop on Chongming Island without asking for instructions.
Sure enough, he said silently: "Where is the cabinet, I report every day. The cabinet master is still very familiar with the matters in the southeast." He said, and got up and picked up a roll of white silk on the table and said: "Look, this is the order I just arrived this morning."
"This" Tang Ruji swallowed and spitted, "Isn't this suitable?"
"Is there anything inappropriate?" Chen Si smiled kindly and said, "It's all my own people, I believe you won't go out and talk nonsense."
"That's that's it?" Tang Ruji picked up the white towel on the table and wiped his hands. He took the white silk with both hands and looked out. He saw a few words on it: "The holy intention has been decided and cannot be changed. However, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the southeast and not to be reborn. You can do something bad. If you have a good idea, come and report it." Below is Xu Jie's signature and seal.
After reading it, Tang Ruji carefully rolled up the white silk and returned it with both hands, "So, Marshal Hu must leave?"
"Yes." Silent nodded and said, "If you say something taboo, the general is in the southeast for one day, and the emperor and the elders will have insomnia for a day."
After hearing his words, Tang Ruji's face was so scared that he said, "But even an outsider like me who is not favored by the commander, he dares to say that he cannot rebel."
"Brother Siji, what is important in this matter is not what the general and the Southeast civil and military officials think." He said silently: "It is what the emperor and the adults in Beijing think." He sighed helplessly: "Half of the rich country is not at ease in anyone's hand. Only by holding it firmly is the most at ease."
"I understand, every man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." Tang Ruji nodded and said, "Here is the era of Hu Zongxian, it is really coming to an end."
"Yes." said silent jaw: "Irreversible."
"But" Tang Ruji said: "Hu Zongxian seems not to be willing to do so. The civil and military officials south of the Yangtze River are also making excuses for him. If they are not handled well, trouble will occur." These words are really considering silence.
He nodded silently and said, "Hu Zongxian solved the crisis in the Southeast and turned a mess into today's strong soldiers and horses. Everyone obeyed him and was used to accepting his leadership. This is normal." He said in a low voice: "But Mr. Xu from Beijing has been used to seeing the ups and downs of many giants, and he doesn't believe that the stay and departure of a person has such a great impact. He firmly believes that as long as he handles it properly, there will be no big problems. This is also the fundamental task of sending me south."
"But you will offend all your old friends and brothers." Tang Ruji said: "I don't think Mr. Xu is kind, either. You shouldn't have taken this job at the beginning."
"Hey, I won't do this, and others will come back to do it." Chen Si shook his head and smiled: "Instead of letting others come and make the Southeast go to mess up, it's better for me to do it myself." At least I can protect more brothers and make the Southeast less energetic."
"So that's it," Tang Ruji said in admiration: "Your dedication to you, sooner or later, everyone will understand your painstaking efforts."
"I hope so." Silent nodded, and looked up and said, "Before coming, I talked to Mr. Xu. He thought it was not bad, so he said it, Brother Siji also took a closer look." "That's good." Tang Ruji smiled and said, "Sir, please speak."
"The court is taboo to the governor of the Southeast, which means that the military and political power of the six provinces is all over the six provinces, and the power is too heavy." Chen Si said lightly: "But the southeast is too important. We cannot take it lightly for a moment, so we still cannot do without the establishment of the governor." Chen Si said slowly, "So I wonder if the original governor of the Southeast is divided into three to four parts. For example, according to economy, customs, history, region, divided into Tibetan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangbei and other aspects. These areas are relatively independent of each other, and problems will not affect each other, so a governor will be established to govern independently. Most of the problems can be solved. In case of a situation that transcends the jurisdiction, the temporary committee member of the court can coordinate the strategy and stop after the matter is finished. In this way, the situation of pushing Tan's disputes can be dealt with."
Tang Ruji listened with wide eyes, and he clearly felt his heartbeat, and there were several more governors. "At the time when the governor entered the court, he was the military and political party. He was called "the first important task of the general of Wen". Although his jurisdiction was reduced and he did not have the prestige of the governor of the Southeast, he was also a senior official at the level of the ministry. How many people dreamed of it?
After talking silent for a long time, Tang Ruji's eyes were straightened, then he stopped talking and smiled and said, "Brother Siji, do you have any problems?"
"Oh," Tang Ruji came back to his senses and said casually: "Question? Yes, yes, where is the specific jurisdiction of the Governor of Jiangbei?"
"North of the Yangtze River." Silently smiled, "In other words, Nanzhili is his jurisdiction except Nanjing.
”
"Why aren't that the immediate boss of Governor Fengyang and Governor Su Song?" Tang Ruji said in a trembling voice: "Governor Nanzhi is also..."
"Yeah." said silently: "Because it is to divide the power of the Southeast Governor into several sections, it is not difficult to pass the court discussion. Moreover, Mr. Xu believes that it is time to re-determine the establishment of the governor.
Tang Ruji then calmed down a little and said, "So, why isn't it certain?
"It will be too late when it is confirmed." Chen Jing said coldly: "This matter is no longer a secret in the capital, and many people are staring at it." He said, "Of course, not everyone can be the governor, but the officials in the southeast have a great advantage."
"I know what the adults mean. Tang Ruji nodded and said, "Then what should I do?" Yes, how many times should I fight in life? If I always look back and forth, I will only miss all opportunities.
"Help me spread this news" said quietly: "Then prepare food and weapons, the more you have, the better. As the weather gets warmer, it will be useful."
"Yes." Tang Ruji responded respectfully.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
After sending Tang Ruji away, Xu Wei came with Hu Zongxian's letter and opened it in front of him. After reading it, he was silent and handed it to Xu Wei.
Xu Wei looked at the words repeatedly and said softly: "At the broken bridge outside the post, lonely and unowned. It was already dusk, and the wind and rain were even more sad." Jibin, unowned, dusk, wind and rain, sorrow alone meant that he had already understood his situation like a cold and cold wind, and felt unbearable pressure and sighed, "The first sentence of the next stanza, "I was unintentionally fighting for spring, and all the flowers were jealous. He believed that his experience was because of the jealousy of the officials in the court. The last sentence was almost like a prophecy, and it fell into mud and crushed into dust, and only the fragrance was still the same. He realized his destiny and even had the determination to prove his innocence."
After saying these words, Xu Wei's face was already filled with a strong sympathy and he whispered: "My words, are we judged by the heart of a villain?"
"A gentleman," Siniang stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at the waves slamming the reefs, rolling up pieces of broken jade, as if asking Xu Wei, and as if he was talking to himself: "Can it be used to define Hu Zongxian? What exactly did he think? I really don't know."
"I don't know either," Xu Wei sighed: "What he did, what he said and thought was full of contradictions and was unpredictable."
"Well said." Silently nodded, looked at Xu Wei and smiled bitterly: "We don't know that it's not scary for him, but what's scary is that he himself doesn't know either.
"I don't know what I think?" Xu Wei laughed and said, "Is it possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" looked at him silently and said, "I dare not say others. I just talk about myself, although at first, I knew my heart very well. But after I really set off, after I went on the road, after doing so many unwilling and immoral things in the peaks and troughs, I went back to my past dreams, which was so strange and alienated." He said with a wry smile: "I don't know at all that my struggle is for the lofty ideal or to keep my own power and status," he said.
Xu Wei was not deeply touched in this regard, because he had always refused to integrate into the officialdom, which protected his innocent heart. But from the pain in the face of silence, Xu Wei could understand what he meant and whispered: "You mean, Hu Zongxian can no longer recognize his heart?"
The silent eyes were lost on the boundless sea and said leisurely: "Maybe, but these contradictory self-contradictions are not important to me and him. We are not vague at all when it comes to move."
"Are you trying your best to speak for him?" Xu Wei whispered: "If you hadn't been moving through the world, I'm afraid the old man would have broken up with Hu Zongxian long ago."
"So I have to hurry up." Nodded silently and said, "You can't let Mr. Xu wait for a long time, otherwise you will have to backfire."
"How do you reply from Hu Zongxian?" Xu Wei asked.
"He walked to the table in silence, picked up his pen, dipped it ink on the ink and wrote down the four-line poem.
"I can endure the snow and frost in the world, and the flowers are the most fragrant on my head.
The flowers fall with iron bones, and will not hinder the everlasting love of history.
”
Xu Wei looked at him, and when he was silent, he whispered: "You are so cruel."
"The sooner the solution, the better, it's better that he can take the initiative." Chen Si gently stroked the jade paper on the table. It was what Hu Zongxian gave him back then, and said in a low voice: "If this is the case, I can still keep him."
One by one, heart one by one, small one by one, small one by one, small one by one, small one by one, small one by one, small one by one, small one by one, small one by one, small one by one
At the same time, Wang Bengu's eight hundred miles of expedition had already been sent to Wuyi Hall in the West Garden of the capital.
Since the accident in the southeast, Zhang Juzheng simply moved into the Tongzheng Department and waited for the latest news day and night. As soon as he received Wang Bengu's letter, he quickly took it to the cabinet and handed it over to the old master Xu who was also anxiously waiting.
After reading the letter, Xu Jie took off his glasses and said, "What do you think?"
"Wang Bengu is obviously not smart enough." Zhang Juzheng said angrily: "I asked Hu Zongxian for it in a few words. In Beijing dialect, I even helped me count the money when I was sold."
"Haha," Xu Jie smiled unanimously, "He said that the southeast should not be without Hu Zongxian for a day, otherwise the world would be in chaos. Is the problem in the southeast so serious? "No matter how serious the problem is," Zhang Juzheng said firmly: "The court cannot accept the threat, otherwise the governors and governors from all over the country will follow suit. Who will listen to the court in the future?" He said: "And the southeast will be chaotic for a long time, and the people will be at peace. As long as the government carefully explains it, those... business cannot become a poisonous situation. Now it seems that this is true! If you are anxious, you will be mocked, and if you do it, you will definitely succeed."
"Well" Xu Jie nodded. He liked Zhang Juzheng's point of view, and his ideas were extremely clear. The reason why he was able to squeeze Hu Zongxian into a corner was inseparable from Zhang Juzheng's advice.
In fact, when Yan Song left, he had the idea of taking Hu Zongxian off. However, firstly, his saint's family had not declined, secondly, there was still war in the southeast, and thirdly, "the most important point is that he was worried that Hu Zongxian's military power would be too great and the court would be unable to dispatch it."
Because the southeastern sect has no name, the forces that resisted the hunched come from recruiting soldiers. The discipline and combat effectiveness of recruiting soldiers are certainly higher than those of the world, but because all the soldiers are from ordinary people in the southeastern, they have made military achievements and were promoted to officers, so they are naturally obedient and are grateful to General Hu, but they have no feelings for the court far away in Beijing.
It was precisely because he was unable to take the reaction of hundreds of thousands of troops in the southeast and was afraid of causing some chaos that Xu Jie suppressed his thoughts for several years. Later, Zhang Juzheng gave him an idea and said, "Now the southeast is stable, but the north is full of smoke. It is better to transfer the arrogant soldiers and generals from the south to the northern border. First, they can allow the Rans to continue fighting and defend the country; second, they can save them from disturbing the wealthy land in the south." In fact, there are still "three" Zhang Juzheng who did not say it, but Xu Jie already understood. "To all the strong troops in the southeast are far away and dilute the military power in Hu Zongxian's hands, the weaker his strength, the more peaceful he will be.
"This trick is good to remove the firewood from the cauldron." Xu Jie praised: "But can Hu Zongxian obediently?"
"He suffered this by himself." Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "When he looked at his memorials in a row, he was boasting that there was no foreign war to fight in the "Southeast Dading". So what else do you need to do in the southeast? Of course, the court had to adjust to the place where he needed it. If he opposed it, he would be slapping himself. He could only suffer the loss of this mute."
"How wonderful, so wonderful." Xu Jie thought, that's not the case. So from the 41st year of Jiajing, in two years, more than a dozen generals from the southeast who were more than sergeant generals had been transferred, including famous generals like Zhu Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yin Feng.
Hu Zongxian could not do anything, so he could only watch his bleak management money handed over a little bit. Until the end of last year, he finally wrote to the book that the troops in the southeast had reached the bottom line. If they were transferred, they would not be able to safeguard the people inside and be humiliated outside, so he would no longer let any generals go north. Otherwise, if the bent invaders come back in the spring of the next year, the tragedy in the southeast would be repeated.
Xu Jie was also worried that there were too many transfers, so he agreed to his request, but he felt dissatisfaction and threats from the lines of Hu Zongxian's memorial. This made Mr. Xu very worried, afraid that changes would take place over time, but he still did not make up his mind whether to take Hu Zongxian off so quickly.
Because Hu Zongxian was a famous hero who was a hero who was a ruthless hero, and he was personally granted by the emperor, and there was a pillar in the southeast. If he rashly took him down, his reputation would not be very good to the court. After all, no matter which dynasty, no matter what kind of dynasty, he could not depose ministers like Hu Zongxian based on just conjectures...
Just as he was hesitating, Zhang Juzheng said to him again: "Since we have started to take action, there is no reason to stop halfway, because even if Hu Zongxian did not rebel at the beginning, it would be difficult for us to have any ideas for the past two years."
"No matter what kind of person he is, whether he has a different ambition or not, he must speak with facts." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "He is the Prince's Taibao, the first-rank official, the governor of the Southeast, and has great achievements. If he is removed without evidence, I will become the contemporary Qin Prosecutor." He said with a wry smile: "I believe the emperor does not want to be Emperor Gaozong of Song." As for Hu Zongxian's corruption, it is okay to slander him, but he must not be used as a knife for murder." It's not that this crime cannot be killed, but the problem is that the crows in the world are like black, and behind which high-ranking official is not a group of families who have received gifts? Not to mention others, even Xu Ge Lao, who is famous for his integrity, has thousands of hectares of fertile land in his hometown. Could it be that they are all bought with salary?
If the precedent of killing high-ranking officials with economic problems, their political enemies will also deal with the same crime in the future. Do not do to others if you do not want to do to others. This sentence is not only a moral saying, but also a hidden law in the officialdom.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
After hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng sneered: "This is exactly what he hates. You transferred his subordinates one after another and made hints several times, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if you were doing anything to me. This kind of disaster must not be kept!"
"I know, I know." Xu Jie rubbed his wrinkles and said, "Would you be so worried?" He said impatiently, "If you have no idea, go back first, I have to do something else."
"The teacher originally had a problem that he couldn't solve." Zhang Juzheng was not in a hurry and smiled slightly and said, "Aren't they all looking for Shen Zhuyan? Why are you polite to him now?"
"Clean words?" Xu Jie said in a daze: "He is not very good with Zong Xian. He is trying his best to help him eliminate disasters. How can he leave this matter to him?"
I was so fainted, so I had been uploading for a long time and hadn't had a cloth. If I hadn't looked at it before going to bed, I would have been so disgusted.
