"The reward for the prince of Nan'an Hou has come down." Lin Douyao shook the hall note sent by the court in his hand to Han Bingzhong, and said: "The meaning of the political affairs hall is that it is rare to have such an enterprising clan. Originally, the prince was a four-rank Xuanwei general, and he was awarded a third-grade Zhaowu general, which was a small matter. Anyway, there is no empty position, and after the lord, the prince is from the second-rank country, and it is nothing to award him a third-grade general. ”

"Look." Lin Douyao continued: "The important thing is this sentence, the quasi-prince studied military and political affairs in the local area before taking office. ”

Han Bingzhong said: "This dynasty has always had this precedent for the children and nobles of the clan who are promising, and it is not a big deal. Shenwei General Liu Zili, didn't he go to the Zhangzhou army to train? ”

"Liu Zili is from the fourth rank general, and it is not too insulting to give him a deputy commander or a battalion commander." Lin Douyao complained: "Do you think, the prince is a general from Sanpin, can I ask him to be a battalion commander?" Xiao Zan knows, impeach me, isn't this making trouble for himself? ”

"How could the political affairs hall make such a foolish hall?"

"Generally speaking, there is this rule." Lin Douyao blinked, and said with a sneer: "The signature of the hall is the name of the right minister, and the right side of the sect has always been supportive, and he will not hesitate to make a mistake. I don't think he will be in the government hall for long, but he has caused us such a trouble, which is really interesting! ”

"Xiaguan understands." Han Bingzhong said: "It must be here in Fuzhou, someone reported Xu Zixian's merits as a person, the old Xiangguo was happy, and he gave such a hall, originally gave the general of the three products, gave the purple robe, the goldfish bag, and the money was a thousand yuan, according to the emperor's temperament, this reward is enough, and also give a Fuzhou military experience to study, this is the right minister of his old man's grace, I see that the Son of Heaven knows, may not be happy." ”

"What did King Zhao say?"

The Fuzhou clan is under the management of King Qi of Fuzhou Dazong, and King Zhao is also the deputy of King Qi on this, King Qi is Zuo Zongzheng, and King Zhao is Right Zongzheng.

In addition, one of the two is the governor of the capital and the other is the deputy governor, and they also have the right to speak in military politics, Lin Douyao often complains, and the pacification of Fujian Road makes it difficult for this official to do, without him, there are too many constraints.

"King Zhao doesn't care." Lin Douyao said: "I moved the text to the past, and King Zhao replied to it, which means that there is no opinion." If he is against this, he will enter the palace in secret. I think he still regrets the absurdity of the last reply, and tries to make up for it. You also know that King Zhao has always liked to win over talents, Xu Zi first has filial piety and courage, and Zhao Wangming is embarrassed by him on his face, and it is not a good thing to spread it. ”

Han Bingzhong said: "What does King Qi mean? ”

"King Qi hasn't replied yet...... Lin Douyao said: "I'm just worried now, King Qi will say that the battalion of soldiers stationed in the Houfu Courtyard and half of the battalion in Jiashuikou Town will be handed over to Xu Zixian to lead, so that things will be difficult to do." ”

Han Bingzhong said: "How can this be? If the King of Qi had such a proposal, of course he would have to reject it. ”

Lin Douyao was silent, his news channels are much more than Han Bingzhong, in recent years, the situation in Beijing has become more and more tense, and Liu Zhiyuan, the governor of the political affairs, led the whole army to fight the army, and sent elite soldiers out of the Great Wall Pass to attack Donghu again. And the left minister Han Zhong thinks that now there is more than enough defense, the attack is insufficient, if the division is rash, it may be the result of the two fiascos in the Chengzong period and Chongde four years, the right minister Xu Xiashang is old, and he also advocates holding the weight, the Privy Council makes Guan Tiren and the left minister have the same opinion, several deputy envoys, some support the left minister, and there are also those who know the history and know the distance, the court is divided into several factions about the war, and there is an irresolvable party struggle behind it, and the Son of Heaven should now try to balance left and right, but Lin Douyao feels that in terms of the political skills of the Son of Heaven Chongde, It is estimated that it will end up with a very bad result.

If combined with the Korean struggle, it is not possible that the right minister Xu Xiashang plans to retreat and return to Fuzhou to retire. Before coming back, of course, it is necessary to form a good alliance with the Fuzhou clan and cultivate a few very capable henchmen, Xu Zixian's matter seems to be a trivial matter, and there may be a hidden dispute behind it.

At this time, a servant came in and presented an unsealed official letter, but it was the king of Qi who replied with an official document.

Lin Douyao read it and handed it to Han Bingzhong, and his face suddenly had a look of relief.

"It seems that King Qi really wants to cultivate juniors, not to snatch military power." Han Bingzhong said happily: "You can rest assured this time." ”

"Hmm." Lin Douyao warned: "Don't take it lightly. In normal times, you can see more of all armies, battalions, even the heads of each capital, if you have nothing to do. You should always go in and out of the camp, and don't make people think that you are a superior ruler, different from them fighting and killing men. How can you master the military in this way? Now that the war is becoming more and more intense, if it is not done well, it will affect the Fujian Road, and other things will be forgotten, the military camp must not be chaotic, and you must settle the place. ”

Han Bingzhong listened solemnly and said yes, but he didn't think so in his heart. The Great Wei system is complex, from the center to the localities, there are various yamen, civil and military, clans, magnates, and gentry who hinder each other, how can anyone really hold great power in the military camp? Whether it is the Metropolitan Governor's Office, as well as the pacification envoy, including him, as well as the command of each army, the command of each battalion, the defense envoy of each state, and the governor of each village, they all have their own monopoly to supervise and defend, under such a system, who can support the army and not be self-respecting?

But after thinking about it, it seems that the past few years have been different from previous years, all the powerful families are mixing sand into the military camp, especially the King of Qi, whose prestige in the army still exists, and the King of Zhao uses the way of taking money to buy, and he also has a territory in the army that cannot be taken lightly. As for the marshal Lin Douyao, he was in charge of the military and political power, and Yang Shiwei, the prefect of Fuzhou, and others also stretched out their hands in the city defense camp and the river defense camp.

"I see." Han Bingzhong gritted his teeth and said: "If you have time, you will go to clean up the military camp, since the imperial court commissions the subordinate officials as the envoys, of course, the various armies in Fuzhou are under the control of the subordinate officials, and no one can stretch out their hands." ”

"I'm glad you have this realization." Lin Douyao said with great relief: "There is a war inside, and there are huge sea thieves outside, of course my generation must be cautious and serious, and we must take the quiet of the place as the first thing." ”

Han Bingzhong only said yes, but he understood in his heart that Lin Douyao meant that no matter what, he must firmly grasp the military and political power in his own hands, so that "the place can be quiet"!

"A regimental training envoy allowed him to go." Lin Douyao began to write an official document to appease the envoy, according to the meaning of the cardinal, to give Xu Zixian the qualification for local military and political training, and in the future, he will have the qualifications to take the Zhongwu Jinshi examination, and he will have qualifications all of a sudden, and he will not have to start from the bottom of the military and political system.

This is a cheap thing, and it is not uncommon for the country to be old.

But Lin Douyao and the others had already decided not to give the King of Qi or the Hou Shizi of Nan'an a chance to develop, and the battalion near the courtyard would never be touched by the prince.

The king of Qi is also very knowledgeable, and did not ask for military power, but suggested that Xu Zixian Fuzhou Prefecture regimental training envoy official position, regimental training to make the five products, has been converted from the actual position to the virtual position, many children of the power of the family, the civil official is the school secretary, the military position is awarded to the regimental training envoy, the military position is higher than the civilian position, this is also the habit of the people, the civil position is low and noble, the military position is high and vulgar, anyway, it is not the actual appointment, but the court gives these ministers' children an official body, and there is no money to receive, and it is not considered a qualification.

If you want to be an official in the Eight Classics, there is only one way in Dawei, and the clan is no exception, that is, the exam.

Lin Douyao quickly finished writing the official letter and used the seal, so that the court sent it to the Nan'an Hou Mansion with the imperial court, and after the officials went out, he smiled at Han Bingzhong: "The king of Qi still thinks too highly of the prince of Nan'an, how can it be so simple to defeat the Qishan thieves?" When he is appointed as the regimental training envoy, he can withdraw that battalion of soldiers, anyway, this is what King Qi meant, we are just adult beauty......"

Han Bingzhong agreed, but he was vigilant, Lin Douyao did not leak, his intentions were too vicious, and he withdrew the battalion of soldiers, in case Chen Yutai heard the news and attacked, the prince would not be exempt from difficulties, and the people around him would definitely be devastated, but he could use this matter to attack the king of Qi, and it could also involve the right minister of the Jingshi Political Affairs Hall.

At this time, I faintly felt that I, a system envoy with insufficient talents, would either bow down to Lin Douyao as a subordinate, or I had to make plans in advance, otherwise Lin Douyao's mind would change, and I really didn't know how miserable Han Bingzhong's death would be.

……

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Wei Yi and Xu Xingwei quickly rushed over after hearing the news, and happened to rush over with the officials of the pacification envoy, and saw with their own eyes the situation where Kong Muguan gave Xu Zi a commission.

Wei Yi congratulated repeatedly, and Xu Xingwei said with a smile on the side: "The regimental training envoy and the jiedu envoy, after the jiedu stays, there are also official positions such as soldiers and horses, most of them have been added to the official title, I didn't expect Mingda to be awarded a real position, although it is an expedient measure, it is not a serious real official, but it is also rare." ”

The sound of firecrackers sounded all around, and the gate of the annex has been renovated for a while, and even the streets in the town in front of the courtyard have been renovated, re-paved with masonry, dredged the drainage channel, and cleaned up some domestic garbage.

In front of you is a straight blue brick road, which can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages to go opposite each other, and the open ditch and culvert are newly dredged, which looks neat and new.

Not far away from the Min River, the river water is mighty and the soup flows by, and the large and small ships are like in the ink painting.

The courtyard of the Hou Mansion is surrounded by tall banyan trees, it is late autumn, but there are not many fallen leaves, and the surroundings are still full of greenery.

The courtyard is surrounded by dozens of acres of land, re-whitewashed, and the white walls and green tiles stretch very widely, giving people a feeling of elegance and atmosphere.

There were quite a lot of onlookers around, and many businessmen and proprietors automatically asked people to set off firecrackers to celebrate the Hou Mansion.

Since the attack of the Qishan bandits, the merchants in the town are worried about their safety, but fortunately, there is Xu Zixian in charge, which makes the merchants feel a lot more at ease.

Of course, there are a lot of gratitudes in the open and in the dark, Xu Zi was rewarded by the imperial court first, and the people in the town also felt and honored. Anyway, the courtyard has been built here for decades, and the Hou Mansion of Nan'an is one of the members of the town.

In terms of ability, Xu Zi first seemed to be able to make the old marquis look at him under the nine springs.
