Chapter Forty-Nine: A Thousand Households

Sure enough, when Cao Dezhang heard that this was the emperor's meaning, he was relieved, nodded firmly, and said: "Even if it is the holy will, the lower officials must do it with all their hearts, but Lord Song is not no one in the court." If you want to transfer him www.biquge.info, it is not easy. ”

Li Shuo hurriedly asked, "Lord Song has some relationship with the court, I don't know who it is?" ”

Cao Dezhang whispered a word: "Yellow." ”

"Huang Shoufu, but I've never heard that Huang Shoufu has any involvement with Lord Song." It's not that Li Shuo is lying, he really doesn't know that Huang Liji is related to Song Mingyi.

"Lord Song has been in the Beijing Division for a few years, and at that time he worked under Huang Shoufu, but it has been a long time, and Lord Futai may not know, but even now Lord Song and Huang Shoufu still exchange letters frequently."

When it comes to Huang Liji, Li Shuo can't help but be cautious, this involves the power struggle at the top of the Ming Dynasty, at this time Li Shuo is already a feudal official, and he can't do some speculative drama like political adventures, he wants to accurately guess the emperor's true opinion of the cabinet chief, but because he has been pondering not understanding Zhu Youzhen, he doesn't dare to rashly define it, in case, Huang Liji is still Zhu Youzhen's most trusted cabinet chief, and moving Song Mingyi represents a challenge to Huang Liji, a cabinet chief assistant who is supported and trusted by the emperor is destined to be a winner, Even if Huang Liji is no longer trusted by Zhu Youzhen, he is still the first assistant of the cabinet, and confronting him is also a political war to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Li Shuo pondered for a while and then whispered, "If that's the case, things get complicated. It is a holy decree that it is destined to be a national policy in the future, even if anyone stands in front of him, he must be pushed. The more Li Shuo spoke, the more firm his voice became, and in a trance, he felt that he had nothing, and at this time, he was the governor of a province, if he was more timid than before, wouldn't it be sad, and he still believed in his heart that Zhu Youzhen in his eyes was an emperor who was decisive enough to do anything for the sake of prosperity.

Cao Dezhang, like Li Shuo, also muttered in his heart, his thoughts were extremely simple, could Li Shuo's favor surpass Huang Liji, and rashly confront Huang Liji, what bad impact would it have on them.

Li Shuo saw that Cao Dezhang didn't speak, smiled, stood up and walked to the yamen and shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

When a servant on duty in the outer court heard this, he hurriedly ran forward.

"What do you command?" The official said respectfully.

"You send someone to ask Lord Xu Mengchao, the commander of the guard, and Lord Dai Shihui, the commander of the guard, to come to the palace to discuss matters."

"Yes." The official didn't dare to delay, and after answering, he hurriedly transferred people to call Xu Mengchao and Dai Shihui.

Li Shuo turned around and saw that Cao Dezhang was still a little stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "Lord Cao doesn't need to panic, Huang Shoufu is a sensible person, even if he has a comradeship with Lord Song, he can still distinguish between right and wrong in dealing with major issues, if Huang Liji is old and dizzy, and can't tell right from wrong, our emperor will also make decisions for us." "In order to improve Cao Dezhang's enthusiasm, Li Shuo's words are a little vulgar and arrogant, in fact, this is also to tell Cao Dezhang one thing, the emperor trusts us, not Huang Liji and Song Mingyi, even in the future, against the court, the emperor will be towards us, you can rest assured.

Of course, Li Shuo's words had some effect, and Cao Dezhang thought in his heart: "Yes, if things are done, the credit will be shared, and if things don't work, it is Li Shuo who offends people, what does he matter?"

"That's what Lord Futai said."

"I just said, you and I hit it off at first sight, and we hate to see each other late, if in front of people, you call me Lord Futai, I should answer you, but if you are behind people, you still call me Lord Futai, then I shouldn't."

Cao Dezhang is also a human spirit, after listening to Li Shuo's words, he knew what he meant, this Li Shuo wanted to get closer to the relationship between the two people, and then said: "I am a few years older than Lord Futai, when there is no one, can you call a virtuous brother." ”

"Just what I want."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

After Xu Mengchao and Dai Shihui got the news, they did not delay, and immediately set off from the house to the governor's yamen, and an hour later, the two rode horses in the governor's yamen and met together.

"Dai Tongzhi, what do you mean by coming here?" Xu Mengchao said in an unkind tone.

"It's the same as Commander Xu's intention, I wonder why Commander Xu still asks knowingly?" Dai Shihui said-for-tat, as if he was not afraid of his top boss.

In fact, Dai Shihui is Cao Dezhang's right and left hand, and Xu Mengchao has a very good relationship with Song Mingyi, although this Cao Dezhang and Song Mingyi are not compatible, but due to the pressure of the court, they dare not show it, but this Dai Shihui and Xu Mengchao are always fighting, and the relationship between the two is bad Everyone knows it in Shaanxi officialdom, but no one reveals these things to Yu Shidao, so the court is not aware of the disharmony of Shaanxi officialdom.

Xu Mengchao snorted coldly, did not answer, turned over and dismounted, and strode into the mansion.

Dai Shihui looked at Xu Mengchao with an unkind gaze, and said with a sneer: "I want to see how long you can be rampant." ”

After finishing speaking, Dai Shihui also hurriedly dismounted, and after an entourage led the horse, he also walked quickly towards the mansion, he didn't want to fall behind Xu Mengchao, so that Lord Futai had some opinions.

When the two of them entered the lobby of the mansion, Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang were talking, in this hour, Li Shuo and Cao Dezhang chatted a lot, and they also had a preliminary understanding of the people's livelihood in Shaanxi, but of course Li Shuo would not believe all Cao Dezhang's words, only see with his eyes, this is a fact.

Xu Meng entered the lobby with Dai Shihui, and the two bowed and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Futai. ”

"I called the two adults early in the morning, a little presumptuous, and I hope that the two adults Haihan." Li Shuo said softly.

"It is the honor of the lower officials to be summoned by Lord Futai, how dare you think about it." Dai Shihui was the first to speak.

Xu Mengchao looked at Dai Shihui coldly, and was dissatisfied, but Li Shuo sat upright, and he couldn't say anything mocking.

Li Shuo smiled and said, "The two adults are seated quickly." ”

After the two of them sat down, Li Shuo asked, "How is the training of the soldiers in the guardhouse?" ”

"It's not a brag from the lower officials, my Shaanxi health center is much stronger than the health centers in Henan, Shanxi and other places." Xu Mengchao said.

"Hmph, Commander Xu will really deceive Shangguan." Dai Shihui, who was sitting on the side, sneered.

As soon as Dai Shihui said this, Li Shuo's face was a little bad, and he looked at Dai Shihui and said, "Dai Tong knows what he means by this?" ”

Cao Dezhang had a smile on his face, and there was no change in the slightest.

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

Dai Shihui got up from his seat and arched his hand: "Lord Futai, if you don't think the lower officials are verbose, the lower officials will tell your lord about all the shortcomings of the guard." ”

Li Shuo hadn't spoken yet, Cao Dezhang, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "The soldier family is a matter of national survival, how can Lord Futai dislike Dai Tongzhi's verbosity, you can say it one by one." ”

Li Shuo nodded and said: "When the emperor was leaving, he was still instructing that this is a major national matter, that is, if you talk here for a day and a night, the official will listen to it all." ”

"Lord Futai is well aware of the righteousness, the lower officials do not dare to hide their privates, speaking of my Shaanxi guard, during the Hongwu period, a total of 16 thousand households, 100,000 military households, a total of more than 90,000 soldiers, at that time and Mongolia fighting, I Shaanxi elite soldiers out of the customs many, how brave, Zhengde years, six new thousand households, a total of 22 places, but the soldiers of war became 70,000, Wanli years, and then eight more, but only the perfect people who can go to the battlefield, at this time the thousand households are even more unbearable, become a place to hide dirt and dirt, military households are full of poisons, The general staff and deputy generals of the general army are all wine bags and rice bags, not a war, there are rich businessmen outside to help the abuse, privately occupy the fields, the military households do not practice, do nothing all day long, fish and meat township, the people dare to be angry and dare not speak, at this time I have a total of 30 thousand households in Shaanxi, which has become the largest cancer in Shaanxi Province. Dai Shihui said emotionally, it is true that these words were all thought of last night, but they are all true.
