Chapter 692: Disaster Comes from the Mouth

In April, Xingyuan Mansion, Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division.

Since Xu Wei led the troops to the battle, the daily affairs of the Xuanfu Division were presided over by the Xuanfu Judge Wan Qiao. This made Wan Qian very excited when the verdict was announced. The imperial court sent him to Sichuan and Shaanxi, mainly because Xu Wei ruled the power of Sichuan and Shaanxi as a military minister, and there was always someone to keep an eye on in order to make the upper authorities feel at ease. As for the duties of the "proclamation judge", that is secondary.

But this doesn't mean that Wan Qiwei just stares at Xu Wei all day long, there is no side pursuit, he also hopes to be able to do something in Sichuan and Shaanxi. But the problem is that Xu Wei has the power to dispose of it, and he has the final say in government affairs, at most, when it comes to major events in Sichuan, Wan Qiaowei will sign it; As for military affairs, it's about getting you involved, you know?

The other staff members of the Xuanfu Disposal Division, such as the senators, staff officers, and supervisors, still have a specific division of labor, but the highest-ranking Xuanfu judge seems to be an ornament. This made Wan Qian very unhappy, now that Xu Wei is gone, he has suddenly become the temporary supreme governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and it seems that he can do whatever he wants?

No, far from it. Xu Wei is the head of the military and government, and the major political plans are set by him, even if you are in charge of daily affairs, you have no right to change them. So he can only make a fuss about specific affairs, but Xu Wei went out on the expedition, none of the staff members were brought, Ma Zhanqing and the two finished managing the military stall, and Zhang Jun "did the work" for the government affairs stall, Wan Qiaowei still had nothing to do, and sat in the hall all day long, just waiting for someone to take the official document to ask him to sign it.

After a month like this, Wan Qian felt that the sentence was not enjoyable, and he didn't want to be offered like a mud bodhisattva, so he began to wonder how to show my existence? The opportunity has really come. Zhao Kai, the financial master that Xu Wei relied on the most, has been exhausted in the past two years, racking his brains to cope with the huge expenses in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

He successively implemented the new wine law and the new tea law in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the results were good. In particular, the tea law not only alleviated the contradictions between tea farmers, tea merchants, the government, and the border provinces, but also greatly increased Sichuan's tax revenue. Xu Wei is a person who has never treated his subordinates badly, and the financial income of Sichuan and Shaanxi has risen steadily, and Zhao Kai's official rank has also risen.

Recently, after brewing and piloting, Zhao Kai is ready to change the salt method. The salt law is not his new creation, but refers to the salt introduction treaty in the southeast. It is planned to print and distribute salt quotations, set prices, and open salt market contract yards to standardize the salt trade. This has been piloted in Sichuan and proved to be effective and feasible, so Zhao Kai submitted a detailed statement and submitted it to the Xuanfu Disposal Department for approval and implementation, and it was promoted throughout Sichuan.

Because this matter is a Sichuan affair, even if Xu Wei is there, he must sign it with Wan Qiao. Therefore, Wan Qian pronounced the verdict and directly sent Zhao Kai's Tiao Chen back, saying that it was not detailed enough and the reasons were not sufficient. Zhao Kai called back as soon as he saw Tiao Chen, checked carefully, and found that there was nothing that was not detailed or there were omissions. But since he had spoken, he could only try his best to modify and supplement it once, and then present it to Xingyuan Mansion.

This time, Wan Qiduo didn't look at it, and directly deducted it. He didn't have any trouble with Zhao Kai, but because Zhao Kai changed the two methods of wine and tea in Sichuan, which caused some controversy and opposition. Although most of them were former vested interests, there were also some local officials who, for various purposes, had a lot of criticism for Zhao Kai and even Xu Wei.

Wan Qiaowei wanted to seize this opportunity to establish his "image" in Sichuan officialdom. What about King Xu's support? I don't think it's right, I'm just not allowed, I'm so unafraid of power and dare to take responsibility!

This is bitter for Zhao Kai, the transfer envoy of Sichuan, who has everything ready, and the manpower has also been arranged, and the greetings have also been called to the officials at all levels, and only the leaders are owed a signature. You can wait left and right, and you can't see the approval. He was anxious, so he ran all the way to Xingyuan Mansion and personally visited Wan Qiao.

Although Zhao Kai is good at financial management, his eyesight is obviously not enough. In the face of Wan Qiao, he earnestly explained the situation and asked the chief to approve it as soon as possible. Because King Xu Jun was fighting in front of him, he was about to use money, and after the class teacher came back, whether it was a reward or a pension, the cost would be huge. If you don't hurry up with the money, what will you do when the time comes? Do you stretch out your hand and ask Hangzhou or?

Wan Qiaowei didn't care about this at all, he just waited for Zhao Kai to come and mess with him. So, he stimulated the other party with all kinds of unreliable remarks that seemed extremely ignorant to professionals like Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai was also patient, explained in every possible way, and said it dryly, but Wan Qian was still unmoved when the verdict was announced.

The clay figure still has three points of earthiness, Zhao Kai was a little angry, and said: "This matter, Xia Guan has already been angry with Xu Xuanfu before." ”

Who knows, this sentence poked a hornet's nest! Wan Qian changed suddenly, and scolded: "Hugh took the king of Xu Jun to press me!" Sichuan affairs are decided by the two of us! I said you can't do this, you just can't! ”

Zhao Kai said: "Then what are you talking about?" ”

Wan Qian wanted this sentence, so from the very beginning of the wine law to the current salt law, in his mouth, it has become a means to harm the people and disturb the economic order. He also said, now that many officials in Sichuan have opinions on you, don't you know about the review? even said it very explicitly: You are so actively following and assisting King Xu Jun, what is your position?

Zhao Kai was anxious and angry! He couldn't imagine that even today, there would be people who would say such things! Standpoint? Aren't you and I on the same position as King Xu Jun? If this Sichuan Shaanxi doesn't have him, it's already over, and you will talk to me about your position now? Everything I did was approved and supported by King Xu Jun, and was explicitly rewarded by the imperial court, but you actually said that I was a scourge to the people?

This meeting broke up unhappily, and after Zhao Kai returned to Chengdu, he became angry. After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, and in a fit of anger, I sent a resignation letter to Hangzhou Xingzai, asking for a change in his position, which was not possible for the Sichuan transfer envoy to do!

When Wan Qiaoyu heard about this, he didn't care at all, and sent the following message to the Sichuan Transfer Division in the name of the Sichuan Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division.

On this day, Wan Qiaowei made a new move. It is not enough to be in Sichuan Liwei alone, Shaanxi Xu Wei has been operating for many years, and now it is almost the wheat harvest season, why not go to Shaanxi to inspect and inspect? Then he was informed that there would be a division, and he was ready to set off.

"The verdict is about to leave?" Zhang Jun stepped into Wan Qiao's office hall and saw that he was tidying up, so he asked casually.

"Well, the wheat harvest is important, I'll have to go see it." Wan replied.

Zhang Jun held a few documents in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Announcing the verdict, the lower official heard that there is something wrong with the Sichuan Transfer Division now." ”

"Huh? What's the problem? Wan Qiyu stopped what he was doing and turned his head to ask.

"After Zhao Kai fell ill, he was still insisting on being a director, but the Xuanfu Division asked the Xuanfu judge to preside over the daily affairs, and many things could not be carried out." Zhang Jun said.

When Wan Qiyu heard this, he chuckled: "Deyuan is too worried, don't worry." Sichuan Transshipment Division can't do without Zhao Kai? Doesn't make sense, does it? I think it is rumors spread by some people with ulterior motives, and it is not enough to be believed. ”

Seeing him say this, Zhang Jun didn't do it anymore, took a few steps forward, and handed over the document in his hand: "This is an official document sent back from the front line, there is an order from King Xu Jun, there is also a request from the transfer envoy with the army, and a battle report. ”

Wan Qian buckled his head and frowned: "Why are they all in your hands?" Why didn't Ma Kuo and Zhang Qing come? ”

"Oh, Staff Officer Ma and Zhang Jiyi have something to do, so let me ...... together," Zhang Jun explained.

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wan Qian snorted coldly: "These two red elders! Who did you think of me? He is a person from Kaifeng, and the Kaifeng saying is that the soldiers are "red old", which means derogatory. Ma Guangqing and both of them served as senior staff members of the Xuanfu Disposal Department with military positions, and of course he didn't look good.

Zhang Jun stopped talking, Wan Qian took a few official documents, returned to the desk and sat down, and then began to look. The first thing he read was the battle report, and he learned that the Western Army had recovered many prefectures and counties in Hedong and was heading for Taiyuan. I can't help but be surprised, he used to serve as a prison in Shaanxi, and he is no stranger to the Western Army, knowing that these people can fight, but he didn't expect the progress to be so fast, and they all went to Taiyuan?

Later, he read the request of the military transport envoy, in a word, to arrange people to transport materials. He knew that this could not be delayed, so he immediately put pen to paper.

In the end, he picked up the order of King Xu Jun. Xu Wei said in the order that after the army entered Hedong, the Hedong righteous division responded in a group and gathered tens of thousands of people in a short time! This is all in Hedong and the Jin army for many years of volunteers, after the Western army invaded Hedong, these rebels cooperated with the official army to recover the county. He believes that these people are the military force in Hedong in the future, and the imperial court should be good at soothing them to show their merits. Therefore, he asked the imperial court in the name of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division, and asked for these people to be given official ranks.

Before, he had the right to "depose cheaply", didn't he just appoint a group of officials? Just give a direct order. But now that the imperial court has withdrawn this power, it is necessary to consult Hangzhou.

Wan Qian didn't care about it, and said to Zhang Jun: "Deyuan, you can handle this matter, play the court with the righteousness of the company, and convey the meaning of King Xu Jun to the heavens." ”

Zhang Jun responded, Wan Qian got up, and was about to go out. Thousands of shouldn't, never should, Zhang Deyuan had one more sentence at this time: "With the elite of the Western Army, and the response of the righteous teacher, this attack on Hedong is promising!" is also the king of Xu Jun, how can others have such great appeal? ”

Wan Qian smiled and said: "Who called King Xu Jun was born with a village soldier?" ”

Zhang Jun heard that he was sarcastic, and said with a smile: "It's not for this reason, the king served as the head of the righteous army in the past, and he supported the Hedong righteous army a lot, so he was deeply respected by the righteous army." After the fall of Hedong, the rebels all played the banner of "Xu", regarded themselves as the subordinates of the king, and looked forward to the eastward march of the king all the time. ”
