In April, the first year of Xinglong in the Zhongyuan Dynasty, not long after Xu Wei returned from the battlefield, he began to inspect the place again. {.Fastest Text Chapter Reading}

But this time, he went to Sichuan. Although he has served as the highest military and political governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi for many years, because of one reason or another, Zijinhu has not been able to take a good look around Sichuan, so that it gives people a feeling that King Xu Junwang started in Shaanxi, and he is close to Shaanxi from the bottom of his heart and alienated from Sichuan.

In order not to give people this impression, Xu Wei's trip to Sichuan successively went to Luzhou, Zizhou, and Mianzhou, of course, the capital of Chengdu will never be missed. Moreover, this inspection was not a formality, there were no big or small officials to accompany him, nor did he stand on the top of the mountain, pointing fingers, and he did not go into the homes of ordinary people to ask for warmth. Before Xu Wei left, he had already done his homework, and he knew what aspects he wanted to inspect, and when he went to the locality, he went straight to the topic, and only called the chief executive and relevant responsible officials.

In addition, another very important purpose of this visit to Sichuan is to conduct research and study for the upcoming meeting of the Xuanfu Disposal Department and to prepare for its own decision-making. Sichuan was originally a rich and prosperous place, but it has been burdened by war for many years, and the impact on people's livelihood and economy is very obvious. Although the Department of Propaganda and Disposal has changed a lot of relevant government policies in recent years, fundamentally speaking, the wartime economic model still exists.

Although he only walked four places, it took more than a month before and after, and when he returned to Xingyuan Mansion, it was already late May, just in time for the wheat harvest. What makes him happy is that although the specific number has not yet come out, it is conservatively estimated that compared with the previous two years, there will be at least an increase of more than 30 percent, which is a very considerable achievement. Moreover, the displaced people who fled from Shaanxi because of the war, and those who were willing to return, basically went to their hometowns. Someone, there is a land 1

Nothing is a problem.

"Coincidentally, this person is really careless." Zhang Qing came out of the Yamen of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division, and happened to bump into Xu Wei and dismount.

The weather was hot, and King Xu Junwang was sweating all over his body, wiping sweat on the side. He said, "What time is this?" Lunch? ”

"Isn't it? Everyone went out, and the lowly post was delayed for a while because he received an urgent letter.

The king thinks he hasn't eaten yet, right? Zhang Qing said with a smile.

At this time, the officials who accompanied Xu Wei to go out to inspect all said: "I'm in a hurry today, and I haven't settled breakfast yet." ”

Xu Wei turned around when he heard this: "Why do you hear that you went out on an errand with me and were abused?" ”

"The king forgives the sin, the lower official doesn't mean that." The official laughed.

"Okay, let's go, I haven't eaten anyway, let's go together." Xu Wei threw down the words, because the distance was not far, and there was no need to ride a horse, someone from his own yamen came to lead the horses, and they went to the restaurant where the Xuanfu Yamen was stationed. There, almost all of them have become the "guest house" of the Xuanfu Division

Finish.

On the way, everyone was gossiping about going to check the summer harvest, and Zhang Qing didn't mention what was going on with the urgent item.

When I arrived at the restaurant, it was the meal, and the officials of the Xuanfu Division heard that Xu Wei was back, so they inevitably came over to say hello. After a long period of hard work, he had to spare a few chopsticks and dishes.

I talked about this year's harvest for a while, and everyone was in good spirits. Although the journey was tiring, a few glasses of wine went and it was comfortable. After Xu Wei cushioned, he asked, "Senator Zhang, what did you just say?" ”

"King, this is not a small matter." Zhang San slashed. Wine, just sè way.

Xu Wei listened to the following while eating the dishes. I saw Zhang Qing ponder for a moment before he said: "Jingyuan Jingluo appeased Wang Yu on the grounds of overage and illness. To beg to the court. ”

"Wang Jingluo wants to be a scholar? How old is he? A Feng clerk said casually.

"It's not small, I remember when he was transferred from the seed captain to the king's moderation, he was forty or fifty, right? I think it's just ancient, and it's close. The other prepared messenger.

"The imperial court is much more lenient with military ministers, as long as the conditions allow, the imperial court needs, and there is no restriction on age, how can he take the initiative to beg to go?" Officer's Path. In the Song Dynasty, there was a regulation on the age of Wenchen and Zhishi, and when you reach the age, you have to be unconscious and don't want to leave, and the official will definitely impeach you. What's the easiest thing in the world to do? is to be an official, and everyone will be an official, but this refers to civil officials. Wuchen is different, leading troops to fight is a technical job, and it can't be done without two brushes. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the imperial court not to make hard requirements for the age of the military ministers, as long as it does not make the imperial court feel at ease, and basically do it until death.

I think Wang Yu is also famous, the strong shield of the Western Army, and he has a deep attainment in city defense operations. Since the Song and Jin Incident, he has accumulated military exploits, made Jingyuan marshal, held strong troops, and won the Jianjie, such good conditions, why do you not do it until the day you close your eyes?

Zhang Qing glanced at everyone and said, "Wang Jingluo is old, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, and after decades of fighting, he is covered in injuries, and it is really difficult to bear this burden. Isn't this the Central Plains recovered? He wanted to return to his hometown and recuperate. "Then it's no wonder, Lao Jingluo has fought for the country all his life, and it's time to retire."

Everyone is right.

Xu Wei has not expressed his position, Wang Yu's request for retirement is nothing, he is old, his health is not good, he wants to retire, he will retire, and with his merits, there is no problem in receiving the whole Dai after retirement, according to the convention, the imperial court will also let him be treated at a higher level. He is now a festival envoy, retired with the rank of ether lieutenant, it is not difficult to think about it, even if someone wants to say something, he will do it for him.

The question is, if Wang Yu goes to office, the position of Jingyuan will be vacant, who will take over?

Jingyuan's situation is special, starting from Xu Wei's eldest uncle Xu Mao serving as Jingyuan Shuaisi, and three generations of the Xu family have been operating in Jingyuan for many years. Needless to say, the forces are intertwined and deeply entrenched.

Before Xu Yuan died, he wanted his son to take over the position, but Xu Wei disagreed. However, at that time, he also expressed his attitude to his cousin and let Xu Cheng be the deputy marshal of Jingyuan, this arrangement was to think that one day, the Xu family would still be in charge of the Jingyuan army. Now that Wang Yu begs to go, is it time for Xu Cheng to straighten out? I didn't talk about ability, qualifications, or prestige, he was two years older than Xu Wei, and it was time for him to come out.

It's just that, after all, this is the power of the road, not two jujubes, it must go through the court scene. Suo xìng, and let Wang Yu play, and when his retirement is completed, he will order Xu Cheng, the deputy envoy of Jinglu, to preside over the military affairs of Jingyuan, he is the most suitable person, and the court should have no objections.
