Chapter 725: Take Wan Qi Away?

Even, he can also ask for recall, but this kind of movement is relatively large, and he will not use this method unless he has to-g-g Xu Wei shook his head and did not speak, Zhang Qing saw this and asked: "If this wind is not contained, there will be more things in the future." ”

"I know." Xu Weidao. "But it's useless to transfer a few governors, the root is not on them." Of course, the root is not in these officials, their backstage is the Xuanfu Judge Wan Qian?, to put it thoroughly, the root is in the imperial court. If Xu Wei wants to get rid of Wan Qian?, it's not that there is no way, he can have many reasons to go to the court and ask for his person to be transferred. What's more, now that Xu Liang is in power, it will almost certainly work.

But Xu Wei was unwilling to do this, originally he was now in charge, with heavy troops in his hands, he belonged to the melon field and Li Xia, and there would be a reaction when there was a stir in the court, for a thousand people? It's not worth it.

"Then rip out the roots." Zhang Qingzheng said.

"Do you have an idea?" Xu Wei asked. After seeing the other party nodding, he thought for a while and said, "Go ahead, let's talk about it at noon." ”

Ma Kuo's youngest son got married today and married the daughter of a merchant family, so the rich dowry really made his colleagues envious. Although he was a halfway monk to follow Xu Wei, he was very important, and he was the official and military staff officer of the Xuanfu Disposal Division, and he also enjoyed prestige in the Western Army. Therefore, when he married his daughter-in-law, not only did Xu Wei personally preside over the marriage, but many Western army generals did not come in person, but a generous gift always couldn't run. The wedding was very beautiful, the banquet was also very lively, and after the hundred and ten tables of guests were full of wine and food, Xu Wei and Zhang Qing were invited to the side hall for tea.

"Wang, Zhang Jiyi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just sent the guests away, and I was sluggish." While the two were gossiping, Ma Kuo hurried in from outside. The face was full of red light, and the face was full of joy.

When Zhang Qing saw it, he quipped: "Why are you so energetic?" It's not you who get married. ”

Ma Kuo smiled: "How can I not be happy? Who is a parent in this world who does not want their children to start a family? As soon as today is over, I will be finished. "Several of his sons are either arranged in Qin Feng or in the Xuanfu Disposal Division, although they are not in important positions, but the future is almost guaranteed.

"What has happened to the bridegroom?" Xu Wei asked with a smile.

"The king also knows that marriage is like that. As soon as the wine is finished, I have to worship my ancestors and make a new bed or something in the afternoon, anyway, I don't care. Ma Kuo waved his hand.

"You want to take care of it, but do people let you take care of it?" Zhang Qing kept making jokes about him.

"Don't be foolish, your eldest son is almost there. When the time comes, hehe......" Ma Kuo laughed. Xu Wei and his subordinates, just count his son as the latest, like Zhang Qing's eldest son is already in his teens, won't it be time to marry his son in another three or four years?

After a joking, Zhang Qing put away his smile and said, "Brother Zichong, did you see it during the morning meeting?" ”

"Morning meeting? Oh, I'm not blind. Hmph, anyway, since he came here, the things that happened to Sichuan were like crops filled with dung, coming out one by one. Ma Kuan snorted coldly. That guy said that you and I, I didn't even pay attention to the king, and all my thoughts were stirring up. ”

"This time, there are still several state officials in Chengdu Mansion who have written to him, and he has picked them up. It's not a way to go on like this. Zhang Qing said solemnly.

"The king should give him a heads-up." Ma Kuozheng color channel.

"It's not that you don't know, he was assigned by the top, and he opened his eyes for the court, and he couldn't move easily." Xu Wei said with a teacup.

"I have an idea, I don't know what the king thinks?" Zhang Qing said tentatively. After seeing King Xu Jun nod, he continued, "Now the chief officials of Hedong Prefecture and County are almost made up, but all the divisions are still missing. The king concurrently serves as the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, in my opinion, the king is not as good as playing the court, and resigned from this part-time job. ”

Xu Wei glanced at him, nodded and said, "Go on." ”

"His level is there, and he can't move his idle position. But Xuanfu can still tolerate him all the way, right? Zhang Qingdao.

When Ma Kuo heard this, he was a little puzzled: "You said that let the king resign as the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu and recommend Wan Qi?" Succession? ”

"That's what it means." Zhang Qingdao.

Ma Kuo shook his head: "I look at the hanging, Hedong is newly restored, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be lifted, it is purely a mess." This kind of errand, few people are willing to take it, although it is considered a promotion from the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Judge to the Hedong Xuanfu Envoy, but he is unwilling. Besides, how could he control the land east of the river? Not to mention anything else, just the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Hedong, it is estimated that there are not a few birds of him. "This is the truth, the Hedong garrison, except for some western troops, is almost all reorganized by the rebel army. In the face of Xu Wei, these people naturally didn't dare to play any tricks, but if they went to another person, I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to suppress it. They have been dealing with the Jurchens in Hedong for many years, saying that it is ugly, and it is difficult to change their anger. If Xuanfu Hedong, he will receive it.

"Don't want to? As long as the court speaks, he has to be willing if he doesn't want to, or he will be free! Zhang Qing sneered.

"It's just that the king also said that he was appointed by the imperial court, can Hangzhou be easily changed?" Ma Kuo questioned.

Zhang Qing smiled and said nothing, Xu Wei thought about it for a while, this is a way. Recommend Wan Qian? Xuanfu Hedong can hide people's eyes and ears, the sixth brother is in the imperial court, and it is not a big problem to approve it. When the time comes? If the appointment is refused, there is only one way to go. If it was in the past, this method might have to be cautious, but now it is different, once a son of heaven and a courtier......

In February of the first year of Xingxi of the Great Song Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State received the news of the death of the Great Song Emperor, which was a good thing for them. Because when Zhao Chen was in power, he always was tough on Jin and insisted on recovering the lost land by force. It was also during his reign that the Song army completed the transformation from passive defense to counteroffensive. Now that he is gone, Dajin Guo will have one less strong opponent.

But the other news is not so good. The Great Song court refused to unilaterally negotiate peace with the Jurchens, because Song Liao was an ally, and if peace was to be negotiated, the Jin State would have to negotiate with Song Liao. This is unexpected, in his imagination, he almost endured the pain of cutting the flesh, and took out the two territories east of the Huaixi River, how could such a heavy profit not be able to lure the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty?

If you negotiate with Song Liao at the same time, it will be almost impossible. It is still unknown whether the Liao Congress will sit down and talk. Secondly, even if the Khitans are willing to negotiate peace, Dajin will allow the Great Song Huaidong Henan, so what will you give to the Khitans? People open their mouths to ask for Yanyun's hometown, will you give it? Moreover, the biggest purpose of the peace conference with the Song Dynasty this time was to destroy the alliance between Song and Liao. It's not that the Dajin Kingdom has made people fight and there is no other way to go except to sue for peace. Now that the South is not deceived, the peace talks have lost their value, and there is no other choice but to intensify preparations for military struggle.

The situation facing Dajin now is very difficult. The south must defend against the Western Army, and the west must defend against the Khitan, if the Southern Dynasties have a large-scale northern expedition, they must also consider Henan and Hebei, which is indeed not optimistic. But next, Xu Wei and the Khitans should join forces to deal with Western Xia, and if they want to solve this dilemma, they have to start from here.

Hangzhou, Shangshu right servant shot, with the book under the door of the Ping Zhangshi Xu Liang residence.

Xu Liu, because of his meritorious service, was promoted to the prince of the country, and the emperor has been rewarded continuously since the New Year, and he has been extremely honored. His son was also promoted because of this, and the Xu family was beautiful. On this day, he didn't plan to go anywhere, so he had a rest at home.

"Mother." Stepping into Xu's mother's room, Xu Liu saluted and greeted him.

"Not going to the court today?" Mother Xu is nearly seventy years old and has silver hair, but her body is still good, and her ears and eyes are bright. The Xu family is now left with such an elder.

"My son is closed today." Xu Liu replied, and as he spoke, he stepped forward to help his mother sit down.

"Have Xu Si and his family settled down?" Mother Xu asked. In the end, it is an aunt, and I always remember that my nephew and nephew came to Jiangnan.

"Back to my mother, the fourth brother works in Zhenjiang, and the fourth sister-in-law and nephews and nieces have already helped find a place to live in the city, and the settlement has been completed, please rest assured that my mother." Xu Liugong replied respectfully.

"That's good, your second uncle has a stubborn temper, and he doesn't know how to behave in the world, in previous years, he didn't have a lot of trouble with your father. But now that the man is gone, who still remembers him? Xu Si and Xu Jiu are also sensible, you are cousins, and your family should be united. Hey, why hasn't your brother heard from me lately? "Mother Xu is old and always likes to nag, but Xu Liang listens carefully and can see that she is a filial son.

"Recently, there is going to be a war in the west, and it is estimated that my brother is entangled in military affairs. But don't worry, mother, my brother is now? Yan Shuai, you don't have to do that charge again. Xu Liang comforted his mother.

"Fight again? Ouch, how many years has this battle been fought? Why don't the Jurchens stop? Mother Xu sighed. Xu Liu naturally wouldn't explain these major military events to his mother in detail, and besides, she might not understand what you said, so she didn't say much. After his mother had finished living, he returned to his study. Of the five brothers of the Xu family, he is the only one who took the imperial examination, was born as a jinshi, and even if he is now the prime minister, he has never put down his books, which is deeply influenced by his father Xu Shao.

Just after reading a few words, the servant said outside: "Xianggong, there is a letter from Xingyuan." ”

"Oh? Take it in. Xu Liu put down the book in his hand, and the servant entered to present the letter, and he knew that it was written by Xu Jiu as soon as he looked at the cover. Among the five brothers of the Xu family, although he is the only one who reads, he is not the only one who can be a man. Lao Jiu doesn't look like a rough man with soldiers, but his heart is very thin. Usually, even if it's okay, it's a constant letter, and every time I write a letter, I must ask my aunt Ann. Every once in a while, people bring something, not necessarily something precious, but every time my mother receives it, she has to praise him a few words.

After opening the letter, Xu Wei first asked his aunt and sister-in-law how they were doing, and repeatedly thanked Xu Sheng and his son for their help. At the end, one thing was mentioned. He plans to go to the imperial court, resign from the concurrent post of the Hedong Xuanfu envoy, and recommend the current Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu judge Wan Qi? Xuanfu Hedong.

After Xu Liu looked at it, he knew what his cousin had in mind. Wan Qi? It was specially arranged by the first emperor to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and its purpose is self-evident, and I believe that these days have added a lot of blockages to Lao Jiu. Now Xu Jiu intends to recommend him as the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu, and his intention is also self-evident. Even if you get this person away, you can't see it, you won't be upset.

I wrote to say hello to myself first, hoping to help when the time comes. If this matter is placed before the death of the first emperor, I am afraid it will not be easy to do, and it will not be able to be done. But now it's different......

After thinking about it for a while, he picked up the pen and replied to Xu Wei, the letter was written, and as soon as it was loaded, the servant came to report again: "Xianggong, there are guests to worship." ”

"Who?" Xu Liang asked casually, when his father Xu Shao was alive, this Xu Mansion was a city, and now that he is the second minister, this guest is naturally indispensable.

The servant presented the prayer post, Xu Liu glanced at it, his face showed joy, and ordered: "Invite him to the flower hall for tea first, and I will come later." After the servant went, he collected Xu Jiu's letters, sealed the reply letters, and then left the study.

In the flower hall of Xufu, a person sat in the guest seat, and although the subordinate served him tea, he did not move next to it. Sitting upright in a chair, his expression calm. His appearance was past the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, his temples were mixed with silver threads, and the folds on his face could not be hidden. The face is thin, the forehead is wide and the nose is straight, a beard is left under the stool, neatly combed, and the whole body is meticulous. He wore a purple robe that only officials of the third rank or above, and the gold belt and fish bag around his waist also symbolized his extraordinary identity.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps, and he looked for a voice, only to see Xu Liu walking out quickly. He stood up, took a step forward into the hall, raised his hand and saluted, but did not hurry to speak.

"Brother Hui, it's been hard all the way." Xu Liu was full of smiles, and several big strides stepped forward, holding his hand, looking very affectionate.

"I've seen Xu Xiang." The man smiled. Who is this man? It's not someone else, it's the former governor of political affairs, Qin Hui. He was Xu Shao's right-hand man, but for some reason he was relieved of "participating in political affairs", delegated to the locality, and became a Xijing stay-behind and sentenced to Henan Mansion, in addition to his own work, he was mainly responsible for repairing the imperial mausoleum. As a result, after the completion of the imperial mausoleum, I thought that I could return to the court, but I was transferred to the south and continued to be a magistrate as a member of the three grades.

I just worked so hard and finally got through. Xu Liang made a presentation to the new monarch Zhao Jin, suggesting that Qin Hui be recalled to the DPRK and reinstated to participate in politics, which was approved. After many years and a long swim outside, he finally returned to the center of power. I think that when Qin Hui was the governor of the imperial history, he was still heroic, but the depression of these years made this person much older. Or, because of this encounter, his edges and sharpness were smoothed out, making him look like a peaceful old man now.

"Hey, speaking of which, you're still my senior, you're welcome, sit down." Xu Liu patted his hand and said. Why did Xu Liang try his best to get him back to the imperial court? First of all, of course, because this person used to be Xu Shao's old subordinate, with this relationship, Xu Liang naturally looked at him differently; Moreover, Qin Hui's ability is not bad, and he was the pioneer of Xu Shao's reform back then; In the end, the three members of the governor's quota, the current Zhu Zhuo and Li Ruobing, one was recommended by Zhao Ding, and the other was arranged by the first emperor, Xu Liu of course needs a person like Qin Hui.

After the guests sat down, Xu Liudao: "In the past, when I was in Shaanxi, I often heard my father praise the brother of the meeting. It is said that you are proficient in government affairs, handle it safely, and have the courage to encounter major events. In the past few years, I have been wronged outside. ”

Hearing him mention Xu Shao, Qin Hui arched his hand and said: "Therefore, when the king of Qinghe County was alive, he had a lot of cultivation and support for the lower officials. I only hate the mountains and the long road, and when the minister passed away, I couldn't come to mourn, I was really ashamed, ashamed. ”

Xu Liang saw that his words were sincere, and he waved his hand and said, "You can't help yourself, don't mind." This time, the court summoned his brother back to entrust him with the importance of 'participating in politics'. In front of the saint, I repeatedly spoke for my brother, and the saint has high hopes for his brother, and the brother of the association must have a sense of proportion in this regard. ”

"The juniper has the knowledge of the saint, and he should be the liver and brain on the ground, and he will repay the effect with thought." Qin Hui said.

Xu Liang nodded in approval. After talking for a while, he gradually led the topic to the government. "The saint has recently practiced the Zheng, and all the major policies have been followed by the first emperor. At present, the imperial court's priority is still to accumulate military strength and prepare for the Northern Expedition. Do you have any thoughts on this? ”

Qin Hui didn't answer immediately, but thought quietly for a while before he slowly spoke: "Although Hui is outside, he cares about the court. For the great policy of the Xianggong Alliance Liao attacking Jin, Hui strongly agreed. The Jurchens have the hatred of the country in the Khitan, and the hatred of stealing the land in our dynasty, and it is really the best policy to join forces to fight against the Jin. This time, King Xu Junwang and the Khitans jointly sent troops to recover half of the east of the river in one fell swoop, and the world was shaken, which is enough to explain the problem. ”

Xu Liang was very satisfied and nodded frequently.

As for the idea of Xiang Gong wanting to train 500,000 elite soldiers, Hinoki thinks that it is also feasible. Soldiers are expensive, but not expensive, and redundant soldiers are the most financially expensive. In the past, the imperial court raised more than 100,000 soldiers, and most of the annual income was used for this, which was really overwhelming. The government of the prime minister has targeted many evils, and as long as it persists, it will surely achieve results. If Hinoki returns to politics, all he can do is to do his best to help the minister and promote this matter. Qin Hui is colored.

"So good! Very good! After hearing this, Xu Liang was glad that he had insisted again and again, and finally transferred this person back to the central government.

"But ......" Qin Hui stopped as soon as he said this.

"Hey, this is not in the political hall, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." Xu Liang encouraged.

"There is one thing that needs to be noted." Qin Hui said in a deep voice. "In recent years, the Jurchens have no fatal threat to our dynasty, and the royal division has gradually turned from defense to offense. It can be said that the difficult situation since Xuanhe, Jingkang, and Longxing no longer exists. The further back on, the more pronounced this trend should be. ”

"Yes, now between Song and Jin, the offensive and defensive situation has changed!" Xu Liang said loudly.

"It is precisely because of this that there are some things that the imperial court has to pay attention to. For example, some marshals are arrogant, have no eyes on the court, often disobey orders and disobey orders, and are proud of their achievements. If this kind of thing is not curbed, it will be more difficult to deal with it further down. Qin Hui said.

Xu Liang knew that he was not referring to Xu Wei, so he smiled and said, "Brother Hui has a long-term vision, which is rare. However, at present, the imperial court still has to borrow heavy ministers, otherwise, why expel Beiyi and restore the old frontier? ”

When Qin Hui heard this, he bowed down and said: "What the prime minister said is very true, but he is too worried below. ”
