It was about late in the evening that Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian, suddenly received a report from his subordinates, saying that the governor's palace had sent someone over, saying that Governor He wanted to see him. Regarding the summoning of his immediate boss He Qiaoyuan, Sun Chuanting did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to the governor's mansion not far away.

For He Qiaoyuan, Sun Chuanting is more respectful.

One is that He Qiaoyuan has a good reputation in Fujian, especially in Shilin, because of the opening of the academy, there are many students and great influence.

The second is that it is precisely because of He Qiaoyuan's perseverance in writing that there is now a ban on the sea. Of course, at least that's what he thinks. It is also because of this that he will recover from Buyi and directly serve as the governor of Fujian just because of the credit for pacifying the thieves. There are even more indications that if he can do a good job in the position of governor, after He Qiao retires in old age, he is likely to take over, and this will be his path to ascension.

Of course, He Qiaoyuan was also satisfied with the fact that the imperial court replaced Xiong Wencan and transferred Sun Chuanting to help him open the sea ban. Especially after Sun Chuanting took office, he rectified the discipline, strictly investigated the thieves, and appeased the local authorities. Therefore, He Qiaoyuan also admires Sun Chuanting, and the relationship between the two is also harmonious.

No, after He Qiaoyuan heard that Sun Chuanting had arrived, he met Sun Chuanting in the back hall. Just like two good friends, they smiled and let the servants serve tea and entertain them.

However, Sun Chuanting was worried about Liu Xiang's affairs in his heart, and he knew that Governor He summoned him, there must be something, and his temperament was relatively straightforward, so after dealing with it patiently, he put down the teacup and said to He Qiaoyuan with a straight face: "I don't know what happened when the lord summoned the lower officials?" ”

When He Qiaoyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and pointed at him with a smile and said: "You, you are still such an anxious child, this is going to be the New Year, the old man cares about whether you are used to living in the south or not, you don't have the patience to listen, it is really in vain for the old man's kindness!" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, his face showed a slight embarrassment, and then he flashed with gratitude, and then said with a straight face: "The adult's care, the lower officials understand it, and they are also grateful in their hearts. It's just that now I have something important in my hands, so I'm a little anxious in my heart, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins! ”

Hearing this, He Qiaoyuan finally nodded, also put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "The old man knows that you are worried about opening the sea, this is indeed a serious matter." You can put the things explained by the emperor in the first place in your heart, and the old man also appreciates it! ”

Having said this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a serious expression, and he listened to him continue to Sun Chuanting seriously: "But opening the sea is a big deal, don't be in a hurry, you must be cautious!" You must remember this! ”

"Xia Guan understands!" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he seemed to vaguely feel something in his heart, and hurriedly responded.

His attitude was very good, He Qiaoyuan's expression relaxed a little, his tone softened a lot, and said to Sun Chuanting: "I heard that you decided to pretend to appease the pirate leader Liu Xiang today, and even send a few high-ranking civil and military generals to appease Liu Xiang?" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he secretly said in his heart that it was really for this! But on the surface, he remained silent and replied respectfully: "Exactly! ”

"It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate!" When He Qiaoyuan heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "The old man knows a lot about coastal thieves, and this Liu Xiang is arrogant and arrogant. Since the sixth year of the Apocalypse, he has been crisscrossing the sea, plundering everywhere, from Changle in Fujian, to Tongshan, Gulei, Youao, down to Haifeng in Guangdong, and sometimes to Zhejiang and other places, everywhere he did evil. It is difficult to appease a person like him. ”

When he said this, he saw that Sun Chuanting seemed to want to defend himself, so he gestured with his hand to let Sun Chuanting calm down for a while, and then he continued: "The old man knows that you want to say that this is a fake appeasement, not really to appease him. And this attention is made by Hong Yunsteam, just to let Liu Xiang be at ease, so that the people along the coast of Daming can spend the New Year with peace of mind, and wait until Zheng Zhilong leads the water division back to do some consideration. These are all right, and the old man agrees with you to do this for the people. But there's one thing, you're doing something wrong! “

"Please advise!" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and answered loudly.

Seeing that he was so serious, He Qiaoyuan became more relaxed, stretched out his hand and waved a few times, and motioned to him: "This is the back hall, the old man's words are not speaking as a governor, there is no need to be so serious!" ”

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting had no choice but to sit down again. However, his attitude was still serious, with his waist straight, listening to the official's inquiry.

He Qiao had a vision, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to speak: "You not only sent Hong Yunzheng to participate in politics, but even sent Kang Chengzu, Xia Zhiben, and Zhang Yijie together. Have you ever thought about it, in case something happens, this is an accident involving several senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, can you bear the consequences of this? ”

"Yes!" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he replied without hesitation, which made He Qiaoyuan stunned when he heard it! After a long while, he confirmed, "You have someone in the court?" ”

This can indeed be said in the back hall, and it can be seen from it that He Qiaoyuan really takes Sun Chuanting more seriously in his heart. If he had been in the lobby, he wouldn't have asked that.

"Nope!" After Sun Chuanting replied immediately, or felt that He Qiaoyuan was kind to him, he immediately added: "Xia Guan believes in Shoufu and believes in the emperor. Since he is sitting in this position, he has no other ideas, as long as it is for the matter of opening the sea, from the governor's mansion, the lower officials should bear all the consequences! ”

Hearing this, He Qiaoyuan couldn't help but be stunned. Of course, he didn't know that Sun Chuanting's biggest hole card was that he was in the chat group, and he had this hole card, it wasn't a matter of the sky falling, he believed that it would be fine.

However, when he saw He Qiaoyuan's appearance, he still explained: "My lord, the reason why the lower officials did this is actually to deter those who do things, so that they don't dare to boast in front of the lower officials!" The lower officials want people who can do things, not people who can only talk about it. If you say it, you must be responsible! ”

He Qiaoyuan listened and nodded, with a hint of approval on his face. By this time, he had already understood that what made Liu Xiang believe in the imperial court or anything was just a superficial statement, and what he said just now was the real purpose.

Thinking of this, he kindly reminded: "Since this is the case, the old man will not say more." It's just that if you do that, you're taking a little more risk, and it's not worth it! ”

What He Qiaoyuan didn't expect was that Sun Chuanting's mind was thinking further, and what he said made him no longer have this idea
