May, the season of flowers, blooming flowers, green shade like the sea, everything seems so enthusiastic and full of vitality.

As it was close to noon, Zhang Bin skillfully finished writing the last ticket, carefully sorted out the folds in front of him, and then notified the eunuch of the celebrant to send all the folds to the imperial study, then sighed, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the green shade outside the window, and took a leisurely rest.

Cabinet scholars, it sounds like an amazing name, in fact, it is the emperor's secretary, every day's serious work is to help the emperor review and write, of course, this is only the function of the cabinet at the beginning, and then with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang, Yan Song, Zhang Juzheng and other powerful ministers to control the cabinet, the cabinet authority is becoming heavier, not only has the power to participate in politics, discuss politics, and even have a certain decision-making power, the cabinet scholars have also become the six Shangshu Zaifu.

However, no matter how high the position of the cabinet scholars is, this matter of writing votes is still inevitable, and the cabinet scholars themselves will not push the matter of writing votes out, because the draft of votes is a kind of control of power.

After several years of practice, Zhang Bin's speed of writing votes has reached the state of perfection, and he doesn't need two hours for a hundred or so folds, and after the review is completed, there is basically nothing to do, because he is in Taoguang, and Chongzhen will not come to ask for his opinion on any political affairs, so his work this day is the same as the previous cabinet scholars, and he is left to write votes.

Just as he was thinking about what he was going to do in the afternoon, an old voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Shuangquan, are you free?" ”

This is the voice of Xu Guangqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Bin heard this call, quickly jumped up from the chair, walked to the door, opened the door with his own hands, stepped forward to support Xu Guangqi, who had white hair, and said with concern: "Lord Shoufu, why did you come here in person, just send someone to greet the lower official if there is anything." ”

Xu Guangqi pretended to refuse, and then smiled: "Shuangquan, I'm not too old to walk, right?" ”

Zhang Bin didn't let go, he carefully helped the old Xu Guangqi to walk through the steps, helped him to the main seat, and ran to close the door, then came to the guest seat and sat down, and sighed softly: "Alas, Brother Zixian, you really don't need to work so hard, you should have been recuperating for a long time." ”

He didn't want to persuade Xu Guangqi to step down and then take the position of head of his cabinet, he really cared about Xu Guangqi, because Xu Guangqi was really old and scary.

At this time, Xu Guangqi is almost eighty years old, which is an astonishing longevity in the entire ancient officialdom, and the erudite Confucian Chongzhen died in six years in history.

Xu Guangqi naturally knew that Zhang Bin was caring about him, he shook his head with a smile and said: "Shuangquan, you don't know, I can't be idle, and when I am idle, it is estimated that I will not be recuperating, but going west." ”

This is purely to widen Zhang Bin's heart, if he really can't be idle, he can go back to write books and speak, why bother to get up before dawn every day to go to work.

Zhang Bin could only sigh helplessly, and then changed the topic and said, "By the way, Brother Zixian, what happened, you actually came over in person?" ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he took out an official document directly from his arms, handed it to Zhang Bin, and didn't speak, just sat there shaking his head and sighing, looking very worried.

Zhang Bin unfolded the official document and saw that it was a joint document issued by the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and promoted the former Imperial Procuratorate to supervise the imperial history Shi Fei as the governor of Sichuan with the right hand of the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate, and transferred 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry to assist him in going to Bashu to suppress thieves!

This kind of fucking thing, no need to ask, it must be a good thing done by Chongzhen and Xue Guoguan, the two faint monarchs and traitors.

Zhang Bin frowned at first, and then raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This Shi Fei, he is lucky, he was missed when he was investigating the Qi Party, and then he was put into Xue Guoguan's command, and I can't do it." Hehe, Xue Guoguan's guts are really fat, he dares to use such a huge greed, okay, support the bold and starve to death. “

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but be surprised: "What do you mean, we don't care about this matter, let them mess around?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and said wisely: "If you want it to perish, let it go crazy first, if Xue Guoguan doesn't poke out a big basket, how can the emperor see his true face clearly?" ”

After that, he directly closed the official document and handed it to Xu Guangqi, which means that he doesn't care about anything and issues it directly!

Xu Guangqi took the official document, nodded thoughtfully, and then said worriedly: "It's just that such a huge greedy party is in charge, and the people of Bashu are going to suffer again." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and sighed: "No way, if we don't bear it, then it will not be the people of Bashu who will suffer, but the people of the Ming Dynasty who will suffer." ”

He really can't help it, Chongzhen's temperament is hopeless, if he mobilizes everyone to stop this, Chongzhen will not only not replace Shi Wei, but will turn his face with him because of this, when the time comes, the world will be in chaos, after all, his name is not right, if it is not the prince's pro-government but his regent, it is strange that those foolish and loyal ministers do not turn their faces with him.

Since Zhang Bin does not object, Xu Guangqi will not do much, and Shi Wei, a huge greed, has succeeded in ascending to the throne.

Chongzhen didn't know that Shi Fei was a huge greed, he still thought that this guy was a rare capable minister, and he spared no effort to support Shi Fei, he not only gave this guy 30,000 Guanning iron horses, but also ordered Zhang Bin to contact the Ministry of Industry and Dongshengtang to dispatch trains to transport Guanning iron horses and grain and grass baggage directly from near Shanhaiguan to Xi'an.

Shu road is difficult, Shu road is difficult, to enter Bashu from the Central Plains, it is really difficult, because the middle of the vast mountains, to cross the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountain, only to take the ancient road opened up by the predecessors, Chongzhen set the route for Shi Wei is to take the train to Xi'an, and then take the Kugu Road to go straight to Hanzhong, and then take the Micang Road to go straight to Bashu, so that the journey is only more than a thousand miles, about half a month to arrive, if you follow the old way to take the official road, even if it is a cavalry, the north Zhili to Sichuan this road of four or five thousand miles, to say less it will take more than a month to arrive!

Zhang Bin is so angry in his heart, you let a huge greedy go to the ruling side, I just turn a blind eye, you even let me organize the capacity to send this huge greed over, can you fuck up a little more?

However, in order to avoid conflict with Chongzhen, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

At this time, the railway from the capital to Shanhaiguan has only been repaired halfway, and it has not been repaired to Fengrun, and it has not yet reached Yongping Mansion, but this is not the point, the focus is that the north Zhili Shuntianfu to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province is more than 2,000 miles away, if you follow the original speed, even if it is a pure cavalry, it will take at least 20 days, but now it is different, with the train running day and night, it will not take five days in total!

As a result, Shi Fei's huge greed became the first court official besides Zhang Bin to enjoy the convenience and speed of the railway network, and he arrived in less than five days after traveling more than 2,000 miles, which really surprised him.

However, he was only taken aback, he didn't have any idea about trains and railways, and he didn't even bother to exaggerate Bin and Bi Maokang, because at this moment his mind was full of the millions of taels of silver in the Shu Palace, and how to get those silver in his hands and put it in his own pocket was the problem he was most concerned about.
