Datong's predecessor's one-year term of office has arrived, and it is about to return to Beijing to report on his work, which is also the rule of the Ming Dynasty sent to various places, although the patrol is only seven grades, but the position is humble and powerful, and the governor is not enough to control the general army and local civil officials, because the power is too large, and even the governor is balanced and balanced, and the conflict of power and responsibility, so the patrol sent to the local area is a one-year term, and the expiration of the term will leave, after entering Beijing, it is regarded as an award, and the Datong patrol press has reached the period of returning to Beijing.

Previously, Zhang Han had been operating Zhu Qingyu as the patrol of Datong, and Zhu Qingyu had already selected the imperial history, and everything should come naturally.

Looking at Sun Jingting's face, Zhang Han said: "Is Zhu Qingyu defeated?" ”

"Hmm." Li Shenming said on the side: "I gave the Xuanfu Patrol Press, and Zhu Qingyu sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that it was a pity. ”

"He's sorry." Sun Jingting said gloomily: "Let's make the silver help him from a pro-people official to a clear stream, as long as he doesn't go to Yunnan, Guizhou and Gansu, he will earn it, what does he have to regret." ”

"People also have to be polite," Li Shenming said disappreciatively: "If you pat your ass and leave, you have something else to say." Besides, he just went to Xuanfu, and we also have a lot of plates in Xuanfu, don't we take care of it? Zhu Qingyu can ignore this matter, and it is done according to the usual practice, but the new patrol press is not a candidate we have pre-selected, this is a mistake, and it may add variables. ”

"Who's the candidate?" Zhang Han said: "Is there any definite news?" ”

"Of course." Li Shenming said: "The news sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau is that the new patrol press is Wang Xinyi, one of the peripheral cadres of the Donglin Party. ”

"Him?" Zhang Han raised his eyebrows, and he already remembered who this person was.

The political situation in the first year of the Apocalypse was generally stable...... Of course, for the whole, small undercurrents still do not stop. Within the civil official group, the Donglin Party is now proud of the spring breeze, and it is advisable to chase the poor and brave the leftovers, and the souls of the three parties are scattered, and many cadres of the three parties have been driven out of Beijing, or demoted, or cut their status, and the Donglin Party has taken too heavy a shot, causing strong dissatisfaction among the three party elements and its periphery, and the remnants of the three parties are looking for opportunities to fight back, but now Donglin is very difficult to beat, so at least on the surface, the court has maintained considerable stability.

Wang Xinyi is one of the cadres of the Donglin Party, and one of the members of Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian's official system.

"Well, it's him." Li Shenming didn't know that Zhang Han thought about so many things in an instant, he followed his train of thought and said: "This person is actually demoted, he was originally in the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he can be transferred to important positions at any time, and he doesn't have to go to the local place to boil his qualifications. ”

"Wei Zhongxian has been in the limelight lately." Sun Jingting snorted coldly and said, "I was expected by Wen Lan again." ”

Zhang Han waved his hand and smiled, and said: "As soon as the emperor's mind of the Son of Heaven is improved, he must gradually cultivate the power to balance Donglin, this is inevitable, this is still to be guessed?" ”

Sun Jingting snorted coldly again and said, "You are not an emperor, but you have a very thorough understanding of the emperor's mental tricks." ”

Sun Jingting said it casually, but Zhang Han had a ghost in his heart and couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Shenming laughed and said, "Wenlan, you are still afraid of your uncle." ”

Zhang Han smiled bitterly: "Xiao Zheng now speaks a little bit of a non-startling feeling. ”

Sun Jingting smiled bitterly: "I just think that if we do these things, it is no different from officialdom." But in the current situation, if you don't get this, you can't survive, let alone become stronger, but it is inevitable that you will feel awkward in your heart...... Wenlan, don't blame you. ”

Zhang Han smiled: "You and I still have to say this? ”

He added: "When will Wang Xinyi take office?" ”

"There will be half a month," Li Shenming said: "It has just been decided by the cabinet, and I have to face His Majesty's resignation and prepare my staff and attachés, and it would be good to be able to take office within half a month." ”

Zhang Han groaned for a while...... Wang Xinyi took office this time, and he felt that it was not so simple. This person is a Donglin cadre, and Wei Zhongxian is mainly to invite the emperor of the Apocalypse to leave the palace, the Donglin Party is attached to the palm print eunuch Wang An, the apocalypse has no ill feelings towards Donglin now, but as the emperor matures, he will never allow the inner court and the outer court to be one party, wearing a pair of pants inside and outside, the emperor is really uncomfortable in his heart, and there must be a way to balance.

The last time the internal and external integration was Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng in the early Wanli period, and the result was that Zhang Juzheng almost did the emperor's affairs as the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wanli was pressed into obedience in his early years, almost out of breath.

Later, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were liquidated by Wanli successively...... It's not that Wanli hates Zhang Juzheng much, it's just that the imperial power has a serious exclusivity, and once it is in hand, it is impossible to take the initiative to give up, and I give you some of it is my willingness, not forced. Just like Wanli's father, Emperor Longqing, that is an emperor who took the initiative to delegate power, but the amount of elegance is as big as Longqing, and it is impossible to allow the integration of internal and external and lose the real imperial power, that kind of taste, no emperor can allow.

The apocalypse helped Wei Zhongxian and pressed Wang An in the inner court, which is an obvious sign, if the Donglin Party is a mature political group, it should retreat and tolerate in this matter. But there are also many factions in the Donglin Party, and some are old-fashioned, such as Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong. Some are radical, such as Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian. Around the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party fought with the so-called eunuch party, and finally the Donglin Party was defeated, in fact, in the final analysis, it was the civil officials and the emperor who fought for the supreme imperial power, as long as the military power was in the hands of the emperor, the defeat of the civil officials was inevitable.

Wang Xinyi should be an abandoned pawn, a test before the Donglin Party's large-scale attack, to see the emperor's determination and willpower, as well as his decisiveness.

In this matter, the apocalypse is indeed a little immature.

When Wang Xinyi and others played for the first time, Tianqi did not reply directly, it was Wei Zhongxian who prevaricated under the pretext that the Son of Heaven had not yet married, and the nurse could not leave the palace.

After the marriage of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party, including the scholar Liu Yijing, once again asked the emperor to let the Ke clan out of the palace, this time the Apocalypse complied with the will of the people, but he was really unhappy in his heart.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian made a statement, and the Hakka family was able to return to the palace and was even more honored.

After a few months, Wang Xinyi and others played again, of course, the Donglin Party did not point the spearhead directly at Wei Zhongxian, the breakthrough was still in the Hakka, this time the Donglin Party people were no longer polite, and made up a lot of rumors that the Hakka was obscene and filthy harem yin poisonous people, and the apocalypse was furious, not only Liu Yijing, a scholar, was dismissed, but Wang Xinyi and Wen Mengzhen and other Donglin Party officials were demoted.

On the surface, Wang Xinyi should not have much of a problem with Datong, but Zhang Han vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart...... This person is degraded, but Datong patrol is a heavy responsibility, if there is no powerful big man to help operate, how can he come to Datong?

This person came, was he degraded, or did he have a plan?

After thinking about it, after all, he didn't know the essentials, Zhang Han knew that there was no way to determine it without waiting for more specific information, and at this time, it was like seeing flowers in a fog, and he couldn't see it really.

smiled at the moment: "We have already bet on the Donglin Party before, and we are friendly with many people in this party, Wang Xinyi We have also sent ceremonial gold, this person also laughed, he will come, it is best to be good with us, even if it is evil, it is just a soldier to block." ”

Li Shenming nodded and said: "This is right, we have the governor and the general army as allies in Datong, can we not succeed with a patrol?" ”

Sun Jingting said at this time: "There is another thing, which is interesting. ”

Zhang Han said: "It's rare to be able to tell you that it's interesting...... What's the matter? ”

Sun Jingting said: "Li Guozhu, the subordinates around the eldest prince, are all asking who your confidants are, and I heard that what they want is to go to Nanyang to find shipbuilding talents. ”

Li Shenming shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "This group of dogs is really hungry. ”

Sun Jingting said coldly: "The matter must be handed over to them, but in their current state, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it well." ”

Zhang Han smiled: "Of course, I have to hand it over to them after conditioning, and now I call them to go, just take the silver and go to the water, they really dare to think about it." ”

……

Zheng Zhilong not only dared to think, but also dared to do, but before he made a move, he felt that he needed Li Guozhu's support.

He secretly reached an alliance with He Bin, among the attachés, only Gan Hui was old and scheming, wise, and a strong opponent, and the rest were all ordinary, He Bin was clever and wise, but his personality was not calm enough, Zheng Zhilong felt that he could control this person, so he deliberately formed a good alliance, and said that he would fight for the Nanyang errand together, He Bin agreed, and after these prior actions, Zheng Zhilong knew that the rest of them were more or less asking Zhang Han about the news, and he felt that it was very unwise to do so...... I am here, how can people not be watched? If it is an ordinary foundation, this Zhang Han's foundation is so big, how can he not restrain the people around him, and the rest of the people's camps will naturally fall behind.

"Eldest son, have you eaten?"

It was almost noon, there was a light snow two days ago, and then there was a wind from the north, and the people who blew even their bones hurt, and the temperature dropped suddenly, in fact, it was already below minus ten degrees, Zheng Zhilong asked the locals, knowing that the next thing was one snow after another, and the temperature would be much colder than now.

In the past few days, Li Guozhu has been leading people to negotiate with the people of the attendant department, but he does not trust his subordinates as much as Zhang Han, and the subordinates' abilities are not bad in terms of individual ability, but they do not cooperate with each other at all, and there is no perfect division of labor and functions, from this point of view, Li Guozhu admires Zhang Han to the core.

Zhang Han is leisurely, and only invites Li Guozhu to dinner every day, and the two sides chatted and chatted to enhance some friendship...... Everyone understands that if the terms are formally negotiated, the cooperation between the two countries may last for decades, and they should take advantage of this rare opportunity to increase some affection.

The weather has suddenly become cold in the past few days, although it is the Xiaoice period, Japan is also cold, Guangzhou also has a record of snow, but in terms of average temperature, these places are still much warmer than the north, Li Guozhu has lived in the south for a long time, and it is the first time in his life to go to such a cold place, and after doing business every day, he can not go out without going out, only hiding in his own residence, enjoying some antiques every day, reading some idle books, and of course, sitting and talking with the guests on Zhang Han's side, increasing understanding of each other.
