Luo Yangxing patted his chest and said: "Governor Li rest assured, both of us are promoted by the emperor, I know the distance, in the future, I will definitely take Governor Li's horse head is saddle, in the affairs of Beijing, there are officials to help you take care of it, Governor Li has made contributions abroad, and I will never let you have any worries." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Luo Yang's posture is very low, it seems that he wants to get close to Li Shuo, in fact, Zhu Youzhen's performance above the court has made many officials think about it, and this Luo Yangxing is no exception, and both of them are officials who were promoted when Zhu Youzhen was in power, and sometimes, Luo Yangxing has an idea that he was promoted, which is the emperor's right-hand man for Li Shuo.

Li Shuo looked at Luo Yangxing's posture, and was a little surprised in his heart, thinking that it could be that it was ordered by the emperor?

"If the horse's head is a saddle, Commander Luo should not say much, in case it reaches the ears of the imperial history, it can only add to the emperor's troubles." Li Shuo waved his hand and chuckled.

"Governor Li is a little arrogant, with Governor Li's grace today, those timid imperial historians don't dare to say anything bad about you in front of the emperor." Luo Yangxing said nonchalantly.

Li Shuo laughed, and looked down on Luo Yangxing even more in his heart, but he really needed someone like Luo Yangxing to cheer for him in the court at this time, and it was not good to offend him too much.

"Commander Luo, I'll ask my in-house to prepare some wine and food, and Commander Luo will stay at my house for dinner tonight."

"By all means, I came here today for two purposes, one is to send silver taels to Governor Li, and the other purpose is to see off Governor Li, set up a banquet on the Hongbin Tower, Li Guopu, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and see off the governor on behalf of the Son of Heaven, accompanied by Lord Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lord Hong Chengchou, the commander of the three battalions, Lord Hong Chengchou, the head of the household department, the prince in the palace, and some officials that Governor Li does not know, the new imperial envoy Liu Quan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials Wang Ketian, and some six departments to give things, There were also some other people in charge of the yamen, a total of thirty-six people, who were waiting for Governor Li to come on the Hongbin Tower. ”

After listening to this list, Li Shuo was a little shocked, he was only the governor of Shaanxi, why did he have so many important ministers to see him off?

Luo Yangxing was a little surprised when he saw Li Shuo, and hurriedly said: "Among these people, Li Fuchen, Yuan Shangshu, and Hong Shilang were personally named by the emperor to see off Master Li, and the rest admired Governor Li and wanted to get close to him. ”

Li Shuo exhaled deeply, stood up and said, "Then don't let all the adults wait, you and I should leave quickly." ”

"It is precisely because of this intention that Li Fuchen is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and Yuan Shangshu is also a great opportunity, so it is really bad to let them wait for a long time." After finishing speaking, he made a gesture and let Li Shuo go first.

After Li Shuo walked out of the door, he whispered to the old housekeeper standing outside the door: "You go and tell Madame that I may be late today, let her prepare her bags, and don't delay tomorrow's trip." ”

"Yes."

Out of the courtyard gate, a brocade guard brought over a carriage, and after seeing Li Shuo sitting in the carriage, Luo Yangxing also turned over and got on the horse, and the ten brocade guards also got on the horse, and a group of people hurried to Hongbin Building.

After walking for more than half an hour, after arriving at Hongbin Building, Li Shuo got off the carriage and saw Hong Chengchou, exalting righteousness, leading a group of officials to wait outside, and Hongbin Building was surrounded by officials, and the whole street was deserted and uninhabited.

Everyone bowed and saluted, and after some politeness, they entered the Hongbin Building.

On the second floor, after Li Shuo saw Li Guopu, Yuan Chonghuan and others, he bowed and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Li Fuchen, Yuan Shangshu." ”

Li Fuchen said with a smile: "Governor Li is polite, sit down quickly." ”

"Master Li, Yuan Shangshu will take a seat first." Li Shuo said politely.

In the end, everyone sat down in turn according to their official positions, Li Shuo's table was full of important ministers of the imperial court, Li Guopu sat on Li Shuo's left side, and Yuan Chonghuan sat on Li Shuo's right side, as if Li Shuo was the protagonist.

"Shaanxi has had many disasters and famines in recent years, the emperor asked you to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, with good intentions, and there is no need to say more about the official, you also serve as a servant of the ministry, the emperor's intentions, Lord Li also knows that after going to Shaanxi, you must do your best to serve the court and serve the emperor." Li Guopu said softly.

Li Guopu's tone was like what a teacher said to a student, but Li Shuo didn't feel the slightest discomfort, nodded and said humbly: "Rest assured, the lower officials will not live up to the emperor's expectations." ”

Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting on the right side of Li Shuo, said: "I don't know what Master Li plans to do after he goes to Shaanxi?" ”

"Rectify the rule of officials and treat the people with kindness."

"You are the governor, the civil affairs must be managed, and the guard station must also be managed, do you think the Shaanxi battalion can be regarded as elite." Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the Ministry of War, concerned about military affairs, and he is not convinced by Li Shuo at all, because he has made many military exploits to become the governor of Liaodong, but Li Shuo has no merits, only by virtue of the emperor's favor but can serve as the governor of Shaanxi.

Li Shuo knew that most of the officials who could see him off this time were officials who wanted to get close to him, and forming gangs had become a major feature of Ming Dynasty politics, Li Shuo actually did not reject party struggle at all, on the contrary, he felt that if it was a good competitive relationship, it would not be a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty.

"Yuan Shangshu, you are the secretary of the military department, some things are clearer than the lower officials, the fields cultivated by the guard were occupied by the local rich merchants, the armament was slack, and there was a lack of training, for decades, there was no war in Shaanxi, so there was no elite in the Shaanxi battalion."

"How do you fix it?"

"The rich merchants who have invaded the fields must hand over the fields, and for any reason, all the fields that have been encroached upon must be supplemented with food for the guards according to the number of years they have been occupied, and the armaments must be rebuilt, the guards must be reorganized, and the military discipline shall be strict, so that the soldiers can be trained more." Li Shuo opened his mouth and said, in fact, according to the number of years of encroachment on the field, he made up the salary for the guard, this is what Zhu Youzhen meant, but Li Shuo did not have the slightest intention of pushing Zhu Youzhen, the emperor trusted him so much, what damage to his reputation He can only bear it alone, Mingjun He should be, I will do the cool officials, Qin Hui in history is like this, for the emperor to take the blame, Yue Fei was unjustly killed by Qin Hui? No, the person who made the decree was the emperor, but why are people all over the world scolding Qin Hui, this is the relationship between the courtiers and the ministers, the good things will always be mine, but the bad things are yours.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't speak, and some officials spoke: "To get back the encroached fields is to let the rich merchants make up all the grain according to the number of years of encroachment, isn't it a little unkind, Governor Li has ever known that most of those fields were sold by the soldiers in the guardhouse." ”

Li Shuo glanced at the official who spoke and said, "Just now, the official said that no matter what the reason, the grain must be replenished, otherwise all the guilt will be taken." ”

Yuan Chonghuan laughed, picked up his wine glass and said, "Master Li, with your courage, this official will give you a glass." ”

Li Shuo hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it with Yuan Chonghuan.

Luo Yangxing picked up the wine glass and stood up and said: "Governor Li will leave tomorrow, you can't drink more, if any colleague wants to toast, this official will replace Master Li." "Luo Yangxing's style is nothing more than to say that he has a good relationship with Li Shuo, they are in a gang, if any of you want to join the gang, act quickly.

Liu Quan, the imperial envoy of the capital, stood up, held the wine glass and said: "Governor Li has the courage to serve the country wholeheartedly, regardless of his personal reputation, this official admires it, and wants to have a glass of wine with Governor Li, I don't know if Lord Li can appreciate his face." "Liu Quan is the candidate for the imperial envoy appointed by Zhu Youzhen, of course, there are some outstanding points, he judges the situation, knows that Zhang Juzheng has ten years, Li Shuo will definitely have it, at this time, it will be beneficial to himself in the future, and his official position is there, Luo Yangxing wants to drink instead of Li Shuo, and he is still a little unqualified.

Li Shuo filled himself with another glass of wine, stood up and said, "Liu Yushi's glass of wine, this official is going to drink it." As he spoke, he touched his glass with Liu Quan, and drank it all again.
