Chapter Forty-Nine: Zheng Sen's Success Today

When he first heard that Wu Zhiping was sick, Zhang Xuan didn't believe it and sent someone to see it, but Wu Zhiping's illness was not pretending to be sick.

If it weren't for Wu Erxun's farewell letter, Wu Zhiping would have wanted to show his skills in the new dynasty, but at this moment, he was only disheartened.

But Wu Zhiping's illness gave Zhang Xuan a problem.

Wu Zhiping, as the first local magistrate to take refuge in King Wu, was the governor of a province. After surrendering, he did not occupy a high position, but fell ill, knowing that Wu Zhiping was sick, and those who did not know thought that King Wu unloaded the mill and killed the donkey.

After Zhang Xuan personally visited, he had to leave Wu Zhiping in Shaoxing.

However, in this way, Yao Qisheng, as the candidate recommended by Wu Zhiping, naturally inherited Wu Zhiping's credit, even if it was for Wu Zhiping's face. Zhang Xuan will definitely give Yao Qisheng a future. In this way, it can be regarded as solving a problem for Zhang Xuan.

After all, there are only a few Shangshu positions, and it is not easy to place, but Yao Qisheng has too many ways to place them.

At the end of March, Zhang Xuan took a group of people from Ningbo to Nanjing.

But this time, there is no need to rush. Although there are still some grievances in various parts of the Yangtze River, they can be regarded as safe and blocked, and today's summer grain will be levied. Order in Jiangnan has generally been restored, and at least the supplies for Nanjing from all over the country are quite abundant.

At least Cao Ying's round of southern and northern battles is not like Li Zicheng, who has a big hole that cannot be filled.

However, in the city of Nanjing, it is also lively now.

Zhang Xuan entered the city, but saw that there were many scholars in Nanjing, and only after inquiring did he know that Wu Wang Enke was in these few days.

Chongzhen's death was great news for Cao Ying. Before Chongzhen died, the Jiangnan people were not convinced by Cao Ying, don't look at Cao Ying's current occupation of Jiangnan, but in the hearts of the Jiangnan gentry, they don't think that Cao Ying can always occupy Jiangnan.

Maybe at some point, it will be beaten out.

Therefore, I didn't dare to get too close to Cao Ying.

And Li Zicheng's attack on Beijing made everyone in the world understand one thing, that is, the Ming Dynasty will not come back.

Whether Cao Ying can hold Jiangnan or not is a matter of the future, but even if he can't hold it, it must not be the Ming Dynasty who fights, just like this, it has untied the knot in the hearts of many people, so this Enke is imminent, and Nanjing City is once again bustling.

Some Ming officials, they themselves pretended to be for the Ming Dynasty, and they were not the officials of Cao Ying. But hinted that his own nephews and disciples came out to participate in this Enko. In addition, Qian Qianyi can also be regarded as the master of the article, and with him as the chief examiner, he is finally not as embarrassed as Zhang Xuan was in Runing.

Zhang Xuan sent someone to send the group to his home, and he took Zheng Sen to the palace to meet him.

Luo Rucai and Luo Yulong heard that Zhang Xuan was back and immediately let him in.

Zhang Xuan entered the main hall, his eyes swept away, but he found that the six Shangshu were all there, and his face was not very good, but he didn't know what was going on.

He saluted and said, "Your Highness." ”

"Excuse me, sit." Luo Rucai said.

"Erchen, this is Zheng Zongbing's eldest son, Zheng Sen." Zhang Xuan said.

"Your Highness." Zheng Sen saluted and said.

"Sure enough, it's a good man." Luo Rucai smiled: "Sit down closely." ”

"Yes." Zheng Sen said.

Li Guofu, who was waiting on the side, immediately put a small stool on Zhang Xuan's side, and Zheng Sen thanked him and sat down.

Luo Rucai said: "General Zheng is also a hero in the world, and he can't be seen alone, but if he has a son like this, he thinks that his father is also a first-class hero." ”

Zheng Sen heard Luo Rucai talk about his father, and got up again to thank him. However, Zheng Sen also knew that Luo Rucai was like this not because of how Zheng Sen was, but because he took a fancy to his father Zheng Zhilong.

"Father likes General Zheng so much, why don't you give him a name?" Zhang Xuan's eyes rolled and said.

Luo Rucai listened, and he also had some intentions. Giving a name and surname can be regarded as a gesture of love from the superior to the lower, Luo Rucai also wants to use this to get close to Zheng Zhilong, but he also knows that his own writing is also very poor. said: "Since you said it, do you have a good name?" ”

In fact, among the scholars and scholars here, the literary brilliance of which one is above Zhang Xuan, but in Luo Rucai's heart, it is Zhang Xuan's closeness above them.

"I don't know what the word 'success' is?" Zhang Xuan said.

"Success?" Luo Rucai repeated and said, "Yes, a good sign." ”

The word "success" is a good name, but Zheng Sen is not convinced in his heart, and he is absolutely uncomfortable in his heart when he listens to it, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, now he has no room to refuse. He doesn't think about himself, he also thinks about the Zheng family, now Luo Rucai wants to have a good relationship with the Zheng family, why don't the Zheng family want to have a good relationship with Luo Rucai.

Before Zheng Zhilong returned to Fujian, he had already discussed with Zheng Sen.

After Zheng Zhilong returns, he will sweep all the prefectures and counties in Fujian and bring all these territories into Zheng's pocket. At that time, the Zheng clan is on the big chessboard of the world, and it can be said that one of the princes, coupled with the Zheng clan's maritime strength and financial support, there may not be a day when the south will be the king, even if there is really no plan, in Cao Ying, it is also a local powerhouse. Generations of ministers are indispensable.

The negotiations with Cao Ying were actually a win-win decision for both parties.

Although the Zheng family has roots in Fujian, Fujian is not Zheng's after all. Backed by Cao Ying, Zheng's strategy of Fujian was easy. And Cao Ying has the support of Zheng's sailors, and the southeast sea is no longer

It's a weakness.

With such a big benefit, Zheng Sen couldn't destroy it, although he was not convinced, he still said: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he always felt that if Zheng Sen kept calling this name, he felt very wrong, but the situation had developed like this, that Tang Wang, he would never have the opportunity to go to Fujian in his life, it was hard to say.

It is almost impossible to give Zheng Sen a name.

Zhang Xuan did this, although he had won over Zheng Sen, but he may not have a little bad taste in his heart.

Luo Rucai comforted Zheng Sen again, and issued an edict to seal Zheng Zhilong as the general of Zhenhai, each member of the Zheng family has an official position, even if it was reported by the Zheng family, almost not a word changed, Zheng Sen was left in front of the palace by Luo Rucai to listen to it, and he was a serious imperial guard.

It's also considered reuse.

Zheng Sen's matter is just a small episode.

Then everyone fell into the rhythm of the discussion.

The real strategic move will not convene the six Shangshu to discuss, and in terms of strategic decision-making power, Qian Qianyi and others are just spectators. Zhang Xuan listened from the sidelines, and there were about three topics, the first of which was how to deal with changes in Beijing.

In fact, this question can be said in another way, that is, whether Luo Rucai wants to ascend the throne.

Now Luo Rucai's actions, the world can see it clearly, as long as they are not fools, everyone knows that Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng are not all the way, and now the imperial court has collapsed, breaking into the camp and dominating the north. Is it to go along with Li Ziyi, does Luo Rucai want to raise his banner clearly.

This question has been discussed and discussed, and several civil officials have their own reasons.

Luo Rucai was a little impatient when he heard this, and said, "Prepare things first, and then let's see." However, for Chongzhen's funeral, let's do it first. And from today onwards, the Yongchang year name is no longer used, and the seventeenth year of Chongzhen is reused. ”

"Mourning for Chongzhen?" Zhang Xuan listened, and said secretly in his heart: "But it's a good move." ”

This move is to win over the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, although Cao Ying is now dominant, but Zhang Xuan has to admit that that is the top talents of this era, most of them have been mixed in the Ming Dynasty's official mansion, without him, because some talents are not trained, it is impossible to cultivate.

If you haven't really exercised in the official position, you can't cultivate Wang Zuozhi's talent.

And most of these people are the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in this way, the contradiction with the camp has reached the point where the dagger is exhausted.

In Luo Rucai's mind, Dashun has unified the north. Even if Cao Ying is a turtle with a shrunken head, he will not let Cao Ying go if he breaks into the camp, so it is better to start first. Luo Rucai's arrangement, in fact, is only a piece of window paper away from Luo Rucai's ascension to the throne and the emperor.

It depends on when it is pierced.
