Chapter 6 Money Reversal Case VI

In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, several palace lights are lit, illuminating the main hall brightly

After Zhang Xuan became the emperor, he knew that there was almost no extreme in terms of enjoyment. For example, what Zhang Xuan has always felt uncomfortable about is the matter of lighting at night, and a few palace lamps have solved it. There is not a single light on each palace lamp. And it stretches everywhere like coral, and there is a candle or oil lamp on each branch. There are dozens of lights on a palace lamp, and the outside is covered with light gauze, emitting a cluster of light, and several palace lamps illuminate Zhang Xuan's room transparently. There is no difference from the ordinary fluorescent lamps of later generations.

It's just that these palace lamps are all cast in copper, and they are as delicate as works of art, if they are placed in any museum in the future, Zhang Xuan will not feel inappropriate.

And after waiting like this, Zhang Xuan and Zhang Qianzheng were discussing the personnel transfer of Daxia.

"I am going to transfer Cao Zongyu to the Privy Council." Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Zhen did not object, this is the proper reason in the question. Under the original circumstances, Liangguang was the rear of the city, and Zhang Xuan's trusted ministers had to be in charge, and it was also a last resort to let Cao Zongyu sit in charge, and the importance of Liangguang had declined.

If Cao Zongyu is left in Liangguang again, it will be distributed.

Zhang Zhen said: "General Cao should have entered Beijing. However, in the opinion of the ministers, there is no need to set up heavy generals in the two wide lands. It's better to let Lin Cha lead it. ”

Zhang Xuan listened, he understood that Zhang Qian's words were beyond the sound, that is, he didn't want Liangguang to produce another heavy general who could have a prestige like Cao Zongyu. I want to fully integrate the two Guangxi into the cabinet system.

It's just that Zhang Xuan couldn't find a reason to refute, and sure enough, it was the ass that decided the head. Luo Yulong is bent on reducing the power of the general, and Zhang Xuan is in this position, and the same is true. He pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, let Lin Cha be the chief military officer of Guangdong, and set up another chief military officer of Guangxi, who is under the governor and directly under the management of the Privy Council." How is it? ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Are the other provinces handling it as one? ”

In general, many systems in Daxia are relatively chaotic. Not to mention that Zhang Xuan re-attacked Jiangnan, and in many provinces, all kinds of armies were very chaotic. There are all kinds of troops, those who are temporarily conscripted, those who are transferred from outside, and those who are stationed locally, so to speak, it is a mess.

At the same time that Zhang Xuan was raising the Qian Qianyi case, he also had to make large-scale adjustments in the army. It's not that he wants to make a big move, but things are coming to this point, and Zhang Xuan can't do it even if he doesn't want to.

He thought for a while and said: "Liangguang, Lianghu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Guizhou all have chief military officers to command the soldiers and horses of the province. ”

Zhang Zhen said: "The matter of the Privy Council, the minister does not ask, but the king of Dian enters Beijing this time, I don't know if he will enter the Privy Council?" ”

Zhang Xuan heard the obvious tendency in Zhang Qian's words, and said, "Big brother, but you have something to say?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be." Zhang Zhen said: "The minister knows that the King of Dian is loyal and brave, and he is a favorite general for His Majesty, and he has the great merit of pacifying Yunnan and supporting the southwest. However, His Majesty cherishes the King of Dian and should not put him in a place of suspicion. The king of Yunnan was transferred to Beijing, and another heavy general was sent to sit in Yungui. Three or five years later, he sent the king of Dian to the outer town. Then there is no one in the world who does not believe in the loyalty of the king of Dian. ”

"There is no need to mention this again." Zhang Xuan said: "Yunnan is inseparable from the King of Dian at the moment. I don't want to hear such villainous words from the mouth of the eldest brother. ”

Insincerity seems to be a common problem among politicians.

In fact, Zhang Xuan must be in Nanjing, so he thought about this question whether Li Dingguo should be transferred to Nanjing. But after thinking about it, he couldn't find anyone who could replace Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo is in Yunnan, Zhang Xuan believes that the Great Western Army is loyal to the imperial court, but Li Dingguo is not in Yunnan, and Zhang Xuan does not know what kind of things the Great Western Army will do. In military affairs, it is a noble soldier and a speedy one, but in political affairs, it is slow and round.

Zhang Xuan was not unprepared at all, but he did not want to solve the problem of the Great Western Army within a year. Anyway, it's a long time coming. He was confident that under his governance, Daxia would be better than a day, so a few years later, the Great Western Army would really rebel, and Zhang Xuan didn't think it was a big problem.

With this confidence, Zhang Xuan is more willing to drag things out.

"I understand." Zhang Zhen said.

Zhang Xuan said: "Let's talk about the cabinet candidates. ”

Zhang Zhen said: "In the cabinet, the minister has already drawn up several people. Yao Qisheng is an old man of His Majesty, and he can be a full-time household department, and Gao Shiheng has a meritorious service in Xiangyang, and he has been in the military for a long time, so he can be appointed to the military department. Ministers and Ministers,"

Zhang Zhen seemed to have proposed two candidates, but in fact, he didn't mention any of them, at least he didn't choose one of his own.

First of all, Yao Qisheng has been following Zhang Xuan for a long time, he can be from Long very early, and he is from the Great Xia Jinshi, the so-called Miao root is red, and it is justified in reuse. I'm afraid that if Zhang Zhen doesn't mention it, Zhang Xuan will also mention it, but Gao Shiheng is another matter.

Gao Shiheng's transfer in, in fact, may not have the meaning of cutting the domain.

Although Xiangyang Town is not Gao Shiheng's private soldier, Gao Shiheng's influence in Xiangyang Town is extraordinary. It's time to get moving. And Gao Shiheng's qualifications and merits are enough, and the matter of entering the cabinet is almost impeccable.

What makes Zhang Xuan have some scruples is that Gao Shiheng is from Ningbo.

There's no way, the Jiangnan style is so powerful, if there's anything you want to avoid, you can avoid it.

"Forget it." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "This Gao Shiheng wants to be a smart person. ”

Zhang Xuan asked, "There are more." ”

Zhang Zhen said: "The rest will be decided by Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Zhen was very clear about his position. Zhang Xuan has great trust in him and is very decentralized. But Zhang Zhen is also self-aware and does not dare to overstep his authority too much.

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: "Wen Anzhi can be appointed to the Ministry of Rites, He Wufu can be appointed to the Criminal Department, and as for the Ministry of Works, let me think about it." ”

A minister who can stand alone and can be trusted. Zhang Xuan didn't have much in it. Not to mention that all the ministers of Qian Qianyi's family have been imprisoned, and there are even fewer people in Zhang Xuan's hands. During this period of time, Wen Anzhi, as an attendant, put forward a lot of opinions, and Zhang Xuan decided to reward him. However, I also feel that Wen Anzhi is old, and he is just a transitional candidate.

As for He Wuyu, he wanted to add a Cantonese to the cabinet.

Since Zhang Xuan wanted to suppress Jiangnan Shilin, he naturally had to win over the scholars of other enemies, otherwise he would not be able to support this court alone.

Zhang Zhen looked at the sky and said, "Your Majesty is already late at night, and the minister will retire when he is here, and please ask Your Majesty to guarantee your health." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "It's so dark this winter. I won't send the eldest brother, and the eldest brother doesn't need to go back to the house, just rest in the palace. ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Your Majesty Xie." ”

For Zhang Zhen, it is not the first time to rest in the palace. In the front palace, there is a cabinet watch. During this period of time, all departments are not complete at all, all kinds of affairs are Zhang Qian's decisions, and many times Zhang Zhen has to be busy until late at night, so during this period of time, there is more time to spend the night in the room on duty than at home.

Zhang Xuan sent Zhang Zhen away, stretched his waist, and saw Li Fuguo probing his brain outside.

Zhang Xuan said: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Li Fuguo said: "Just now, Concubine Dong sent someone to ask Your Majesty if he has rested?" ”

Zhang Xuan had some doubts in his heart and said, "Is it Concubine Dong's person?" ”

"Yes." Li Fuguo said.

Zhang Xuan's harem has a simple number of people, and there are not so many palace fighting plots, but Dong Xiaowan is indeed very low-key, and he is generally obedient. No one was sent to inquire about Zhang Xuan's whereabouts at all. Zhang Xuan asked, "Is there anything happening to Concubine Dong today?" ”

Li Fuguo said: "The minister heard that Princess Wei led two people to attack. Concubine Dong gave the palace card. ”

The palace card is a pass to enter and exit the palace. Only those who have a palace card can enter the palace. But although Concubine Dong has this power, this seems to be the first time she has used it. Zhang Xuan was a little strange and asked, "Who are these two people?" ”

"Liu is so, Li Xiangjun." Li Fuguo said cautiously.

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was first curious, and then frowned slightly. Although he was curious about Qin Huai Bayan, his mind was no longer on this now. quickly guessed their thoughts and said, "Arrange it, where to go to Concubine Dong today." ”

Li Fuguo immediately said: "The slave will arrange it." ”
