Chapter 150 Sitting and talking about the Tao
Which is the imperial envoy or the top leader of the Beizhen Fushi Division? Compared with the governors of officials at all levels? The answer is vague.
Normally, the imperial envoy represents the emperor and is in the third level of official position. In front of officials in the world, the imperial envoy is the largest.
But the reason why the answer is vague is that when the emperor represented by the imperial envoy was of course under Donglin, the imperial envoy was actually a nonsense. For example, the local officials are strong enough and have a high status enough, and the imperial envoy is just a errand by the emperor.
The world's number one governor, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, is such an official.
But Zhao Xing knew that in history, in October this year, Huang Taiji invaded the capital, and Geng Ruqi was ordered to take 6,000 Shanxi soldiers to Beijing to serve the king, and then was blindly commanded by the Ministry of War and changed defense land three days. Under the Ming Dynasty's morbid system of controlling the logistics supply of military generals, Geng Ruqi's soldiers who had not eaten for five days were directly hungry and mutiny. That happened that Chongzhen settled Geng Ruqi's old and new accounts together, and finally handed over to the Jinyiwei to take Zhao Prison, and he and Yuan Chonghuan killed one after another in the second year.
Zhao Xing now faces Geng Ruqi's airs of being arrogant and indifferent to him. Why should he be angry with a person who is about to die? Isn't it worth it? It's not the time for him to show off, and this big man needs to help him complete the task. At least he needs to temporarily despise himself and not to pull himself back.
Is it that utilizing and mutual use? This is the rule of the officialdom.
After Geng Ruqi greeted Zhao Xing according to the rules, Zhao Xing immediately changed his serious expression, with the humility of his younger generation and a warm smile, haha, personally helped Geng Ruqi up, who was kneeling on the ground, and resolutely avoided Geng Ruqi's salute to the imperial envoy.
"Oh, my husband, you're welcome, you're welcome, you're killed, you're killing the younger boy, come and sit down." He personally helped Geng Ruqi to the chair, Zhao Xing was still polite: "If it weren't for the emperor's identity and rules, the younger boy should have gone to my husband's ancestor's house first, but this-"
Geng Ruqi was quite satisfied with Zhao Xing's humility. It seems that this kid is not full of hostility towards the gentleman of Donglin like the words he passed by in the capital. Is this little guy still very well aware of the worldly style and the strength of the wind?
"The imperial envoy has been working hard all the way, thank you for your hard work." Geng Ruqi is no longer treating Zhao Xing with a high profile now. He raises his hand and does not hit the smiling person. Since he has not stopped Zhao Xing from entering Shanxi and Shaanxi along the way, try to maintain good relationships and not make things too stiff.
"Thank you, my husband, for your heartache. I'm afraid, but I'm safe all the way. Of course, there are some small episodes along the way, and I just treat them as a kind of training God has given to the boy, and I smiled it."
Geng Ruqi knew that this guy was trying to make him think of himself. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Why, does the imperial envoy dare to offend him in the Ming Dynasty? Say, tell me quickly, and I will definitely take strict measures."
Zhao Xing said in his heart: "Pretend, just pretend." Then he waved his hand calmly: "The same sentence is still the same, and the boy did not report it to the emperor, so as not to worry, it's over, it's over."
Then he seemed to be silent: "Those small episodes are probably a coincidence. If you really rely on those means to do things by doing things, hehehe, let me tell you that my husband's ancestors, that's the idiots who are seeking death. In the world, have you ever been abusive in my Beizhen Fushi?" Then he smiled awkwardly.
Hong Chengchou spoke in time, his mouth full of mockery of the North Town Fushi: "Yes, if politics is to make things happen by means, in Lord Zhao's eyes, politics will be much simpler. If it is really not possible to make a crime, will it be much simpler to engage in assassination?"
A hint of warm anger flashed on Zhao Xing's face, but he turned to laugh at him: "That was the past, the eunuch party's actions. Now the emperor appointed me to this position, and deliberately burned the torture instruments and closed the Zhao Prison, in order to restore politics to his normal rules." Then, at Geng Ruqi, Hong Chengchou with disdain, and to the Shanxi officials in the hall, Zhao Xing solemnly said: "The past is gone. Now, I am following the rules, the rules are all."
The officials in the hall, I don’t know what kind of thoughts they were, laughed relaxedly together. The whole thing before seemed to have really passed.
The atmosphere is active and there seems to be no estrangement. It’s time to talk about serious business.
Zhao Xing humbly asked Geng Ruqi: "My husband ancestor, the emperor, this time, came to calm the mutiny in Yulinwei, Northwest, according to the emperor's will. I wonder how my husband ancestor solved it?"
Geng Ruqi said angrily: "A group of Qiu Bas who have no king or father and do not know how to be grateful are in trouble in this country. He does not want to understand the embarrassment of the king and father. He asks for money and food. If one cannot be satisfied, he will cause trouble and does not know how to search for rats and birds to repay your kindness."
When Zhao Xing heard this, he almost staggered out and slipped under the chair. The deafening sentence in Ming Dynasty history recorded in later generations was actually said by this old man, classic and classic. How shameless and shameless this is.
Regardless of Zhao Xing's expression, Geng Ruqi continued to speak indignantly: "At that time, I ordered Governor Yansui to comfort him and explain to them the excellence. However, not only did they not listen to the teachings, but they became more and more violent. For such unscrupulous people, I ordered Yang He from three sides to send troops to suppress him."
Zhao Xing asked lightly. "What is the result?"
Geng Ru's angry beard stood up, smashing her dry fists tightly and then smashing the table: "Yang He was incompetent in the army and sent 5,000 troops to encircle and suppress it. As a result, those bastards who surrounded it were not loyal or treacherous, and directly joined the mutiny thieves. Yang He, I want to impeach you, I want to impeach you."
Zhao Xing was really speechless. The encircled and suppressed people joined the encircled and suppressed people. This is indeed speechless, but at this time, isn’t this more logical?
"My husband, let Yang He be released in advance. The lower official asked what measures would be taken in the future, so that the lower official could know what they would do."
Geng Ru sat back in a angrily humming: "With the encirclement and mutiny, Yang He no longer dared to send troops. The matter was helpless and was thinking about how to solve it, but he didn't think about it. He didn't know which bastard was not sympathetic to the emperor's work day and night, and reported this little matter to the court. Then, isn't it now?"
Then he said to Zhao Xing with confidence: "Since the emperor has sent you an imperial envoy to handle the mutiny, now, this matter is yours. Please decide everything."
Yes, I wanted to hide it, but I couldn't hide it anymore, so I'll just push six or five to clean it.
Zhao Xing had a long time to know this behavior and did not argue with him. Yun calmly said: "There have always been a military mutiny, and there are always rules to solve the problem. It is just to make up for the accumulated debts and to pull out one or two culprits who forced the soldiers to mutiny. This matter has just passed."
This matter was also agreed upon by everyone. At that time, it is not good for everyone to impeach the imperial envoy and deal with it. You still have to use your head to push the jar. This is already a established policy.
Since you have a plan, just follow the established policy.
But from Zhao Xing's words, this guy obviously didn't want to hand over his head, but wanted to take some precedents and use someone else's head to push the jar. Why is this kid so incompetent and not kind to do things?
Hearing this, Geng Ruqi said silently. The group of officials below were all trembling and frightened. They didn't know who was unlucky this time and was pulled out to the jar, praying that they would be different from themselves.
Zhao Xing ignored everyone's expression and asked seriously: "I don't know how much money and grain have been prepared for the Lord to calm the mutiny for the lower officials."
Geng Ruqi looked at Hong Chengchou: "Mr. Hong is involved in the three border capitals, and this matter is under his control."
Hong Chengchou said seriously: "The supply of grain and salary on the three sides has always been allocated by the local government, and Yulin's money and food are under Yansui's jurisdiction. The subordinate asked several times, and Yue Hesheng said that the money and food he collected were escorted by your yamen, and it was not detained."
Shanxi Governor's Yamen, the capital of the capital, immediately stood up to argue: "Yue Hesheng talked nonsense, and reserved the local military food and salary for the border of the local garrison every year. This is a case of justice. There is nothing wrong with the officials doing things according to the rules."
Seeing that he was going to kick again, this time before Zhao Xing could speak, Geng Ruqi said, "Don't argue anymore. The governor's yamen follows my supervision every year and reserves enough money and food for local garrisons and border troops. There is a account to check." Then he turned to Zhao Xing with a rare kind tone: "The most urgent task is to appease the mutiny soldiers first, don't ruin the place, and don't put them in the Tartars. Therefore, please ask the imperial envoy to talk to the mutiny king for loyalty?"
Zhao Xing sneered, "There is no money or food, do you want me to die?"
But since there is no clue to arguing here again, and the other person has the intention of expelling him. Zhao Xing stood up and said, "Since that's the case, the subordinates will pass. But in the future, my husband and ancestors need to cooperate with each other, and then we will submit a mission to the emperor."
