Chapter 1011 Who Replaces Whom

Seeing that the emperor sent Zhu Hui to serve as the governor of Yansui, Shen Xi could imagine how depressed the two of them would be. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhu Hui would think, I finally got out of the quagmire in the northwest, lived a stable life in the capital for a few days, and enjoyed the glory of fame, why did I go to that damn place again?

Liu Daxia is afraid that he has the mind to scold his mother!

Zhu Hui didn't do anything on the battlefield except to shrink to avoid the war, which was the culprit who almost caused Liu Daxia to hate the northwest in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi.

Liu Daxia is afraid that he will ponder: The emperor obviously didn't toss me to death once, and he is ready to do it again!

Shen Xi saw this arrangement, what is the responsibility of the husband, what the feelings of the family and the country, all of them are left behind, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he doesn't have to go to the northwest for the time being, how to say that this is an active war, similar to the situation in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, don't let yourself clean up the mess in the end.

It is said that even if Liu Daxia is defeated in the northwest, Zhu Hui will not be able to do anything, and if the imperial court wants to find someone to clean up the mess, it is also looking for the British Gong Zhang Mao, so he can't take his turn!

After reading the official document, Shen Xi wanted to laugh, but he held back, otherwise it would be schadenfreude in the eyes of Yu Niang.

"What do you think about this arrangement?"

Seeing Shen Xi's brows, Yu Niang couldn't help but ask, as if she was thinking about something.

Others are not familiar with Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, Yu Niang followed Shen Xi to the northwest for three years, witnessed the tragic battle of Yuxi River, and knew what kind of virtue Zhu Hui was.

When Liu Daxia was in danger, Zhu Hui actually allowed Shen Xi to take hundreds of soldiers and drive the ox cart into battle, while he himself watched the excitement in the city.

After Yu Niang learned the news, she was very nervous, she naturally thought that this was bad news, and the purpose of discussing with Shen Xi was to let Shen Xi take the initiative to invite Ying to go to the northwest, even if it was just to be a staff member by Liu Daxia's side.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on her part.

Shen Xi was transferred back to Beijing with the right deputy of the three products, even if he wanted to go to the northwest, he was also a superintendent, and he could do miscellaneous things, but he could not be ambiguous in his official rank, otherwise it would not conform to the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after Shen Xi learned that he didn't have to go to the northwest, it was too late to be happy, where would he ask for trouble? In the face of Yu Niang's question, Shen Xi just said in an indifferent tone: "This official thinks that the old man of Baoguo is respectful, and he has more qualifications and prestige than this official, and it is really suitable for him to be the governor of Yansui!" ”

Yu Niang was very anxious when she heard this, and thought, "Lord Shen, is this angry?" How could you say such irresponsible things? Don't you know who Bao Guogong is? His own credit is that most of his own merit was stolen by the Duke of Baoguo, and the imperial court has not given him a proper name until now......"

"My lord, the war in the northwest cannot be started without you! Liu Shangshu is old, and although he has elite soldiers and good generals, he always has to have someone to plan for him! Yu Niang said in a pleading tone.

Shen Xi nodded: "This official agrees with Yu Niang's statement, but Yu Niang should have thought that the same trick cannot be used twice." It is true that this officer used the Franc cannon to establish authority on the Tatars, but when I go to the northwest again, the Tatars will not only be prepared, but will also use my troops as the main direction of attack. ”

Yu Niang pondered for a long time, and finally understood Shen Xi's thoughts.

Yu Niang didn't think about this problem, she thought that Shen Xi was the kind of person who did not hesitate to throw his head and spill his blood to go to the disaster generously, but now that she wants to do this, it is actually similar to pushing Shen Xi to die, no wonder Shen Xi was not so enthusiastic about going north from the beginning.

Yu Niang originally thought that Shen Xi couldn't let go of the southeast bandits, out of a strong sense of responsibility, but now she knows that Shen Xi is also afraid of death.

Shen Xi looked at the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the imperial court, his name seemed insignificant in the long list, but those who were transferred to the northwest were particularly dazzling, and in the list of civil officials and generals who were transferred to the northwest, there was Chen Xiong, the son of Chen Rui, who had just inherited the title of Earl of Pingjiang.

Chen Rui's combat style was similar to Zhu Hui's in the northwest, and he did not dare to confront the Tatars head-on, Chen Rui was still stubborn and self-respecting, which was also the fundamental reason why Emperor Hongzhi sent Zhu Hui to the northwest to replace Chen Rui.

Now that Chen Rui is dead, Chen Xiong makes up for it, does he also want to complete his father's unfinished business?

"There must be a reason for the court to use people like this, and the official should not comment on it, Yu Niang should go back and rest early. Since this official doesn't have to go to the northwest, there is no need to be busy on the road, let's stay in Nanjing City for one more day, and then set off the day after tomorrow! ”

Knowing that he didn't have to go to the front line, Shen Xi was much more relaxed, and he also had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Nanjing is a prosperous place, how can you not say that you don't want to stay for a day, you don't want to stay before because you are not in the mood, but now you have nothing to do, and the road to the north is not so tight.

In Shen Xi's memory, the Tatars did not have a large-scale border experience during the Hongzhi period, so they were completely relaxed, since the matter of strategizing for the battlefield had nothing to do with him, what Shen Xi had to do now was to go back to his room and take a hot bath, sleep comfortably, relax tomorrow, and go to visit the places of interest in Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Ming Dynasty.

……

……

Shen Xi swept away the previous haze, and was even in the mood to visit the mountains and rivers.

But another person in the capital ...... Zhu Hui, the prince of Baoguo, who succeeded Shen Xi as the governor of Yansui, fell into a panic at this time, as Shen Xi expected, Zhu Hui didn't want to go to the northwest at all.

At the beginning of Yulin City, Zhu Hui did not send troops to rescue Liu Daxia, not that he didn't know the priorities of the matter, but he didn't dare, his idea was not to make a meritorious career and go down in history, but to keep his title and pass it on from generation to generation.

Performing in the northwest is a thankless thing in Zhu Hui's view, it is good to win, but if it fails, it must be responsible.

Zhu Hui was terrified in his heart, and he didn't understand why Emperor Hongzhi sent him to the northwest, the trouble was that the emperor couldn't casually ask to see him when he was seriously ill at this time.

There was no other way but to ask to see another person involved...... Liu Daxia, who went with him to the northwest and served as the governor of the three sides, served as the secretary of the military department.

Zhu Hui felt that it must be Liu Daxia's back, thinking that he had the ability and wanted to fight side by side with him again, Zhu Hui was ready to greet Liu Daxia, and then went to submit his resignation to Emperor Hongzhi, telling the emperor that he was old and healthy, and asked the emperor to send someone else, the key to which was to let Liu Daxia help speak.

Zhu Hui felt that he was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, with a high position and power, and went to Liu Daxia to talk about things, no matter what, Liu Daxia would also sell him face.

On this day, Zhu Hui asked Liu Daxia when he would return home, and took advantage of Liu Daxia's home to visit in person.

For Liu Daxia, he doesn't want to see this one who almost killed him three years ago, and the Ming Dynasty's national fortune, in Liu Daxia's opinion, Zhu Hui served as the governor of Yansui, maybe it would be better to let this position vacant, but when the army is out of the jam, someone will always need to be responsible for logistics and supply.

Although Zhu Hui behaved very well on the battlefield, he at least had prestige and some dispatching ability.

Liu Daxia wanted to go to Xie Qian to discuss matters these days, but Xie Qian still did not forgive him for recommending Shen Xi to serve in the northwest, although Shen Xi was removed from the northwest, but Xie Qian also knew that he had broken the heart of Emperor Hongzhi and made a move not to get along with the perpetrator Liu Daxia.

Therefore, no matter how Liu Daxia showed goodwill, Xie Qian turned a blind eye, even if he met in the cabinet and the six yamen on official business, he would just talk about the matter and not say a word coldly.

Liu Daxia received Zhu Hui in the main hall of his home.

Although Liu Daxia has been regarded as a very popular minister in the court, but in the jue, he has always been inferior to the prince, which is also the special feature of the nobles, even if the official position of the nobles in the court is not as good as the cabinet scholars and the six officials, but the Ming Dynasty is they fought down or guarded, and the emperor gave them a respectful position above the courtiers.

“…… Liu Shangshu, the old man is quite incomprehensible, this northwest matter was not done three years ago, and His Majesty also promised not to use troops in a few years, but this sudden start of troops, and at the same time entrusted with important tasks without summoning the old man, this ...... It's incomprehensible! ”

Zhu Hui was depressed in addition to being appointed as the governor of Yansui, but also because he did not see Zhu Youzhu himself, so he could not face the Son of Heaven, so he could only obediently obey the order.

Liu Daxia said: "Your Majesty is in good health, and now that the four seas are peaceful, but the inside of Tatar is in chaos, isn't it the best time for me to quell the disaster of Tatar?" ”

"Then why did Your Majesty send Lao Yu as the governor of Yansui? It can't be recommended by Liu Shangshu, right? ”

Zhu Hui's face was gloomy, and he wanted to give Liu Daxia a dismount, let Liu Daxia know that he was angry, and let Liu Daxia take the initiative to go to Emperor Hongzhi to help him speak.

Liu Daxia didn't want to explain anything, but he still told him bluntly: "The matter of transferring the Duke of State to the northwest is a will issued by His Majesty himself, and he did not say much in front of His Majesty, and the rest of the candidates are also drawn up by His Majesty himself." ”

Zhu Hui thought to himself, it seems that Liu Shiyong refused to admit it even if he was killed, and said at the moment: "Regardless of whether Liu Shangshu said anything to Your Majesty for the time being, Lao Yu has heard about it before, and His Majesty intends to recruit Shen Xi, who is now in the southeast to suppress bandits, to return to Beijing, and send him to the northwest to lead the responsibility of the governor of Yansui. ”

"Three years ago, Shen Xi brought people to help Liu Shangshu succeed in the first battle, although the old man was well arranged, he did not deny that he was a brave and resourceful descendant. The old man is ready to recommend this person to His Majesty, and he also asks Liu Shangshu to play with the old man! ”

Liu Daxia glanced at Zhu Hui in surprise...... If things were as easy as you said, I wouldn't have to worry so much now, should I really let you do it? It's easy to let Shen Xi go to the northwest, unless Xie Qian dies and the emperor has less of this concern, then Shen Xi can take over from you to the northwest.

Liu Daxia shook his head: "Guogong doesn't need to think nonsense, all positions are personally decided by His Majesty, if this matter is to be discussed again, Guogong to find Xie Gebu, maybe it is more meaningful than looking for him!" (To be continued.) )
