。 As soon as he saw Tang Ruji's solemn statement, he knew silently. What he wants must not only be broken, but also there is no need to break it", he is not afraid of people's **, but he is afraid that people are not**. Since he expressed his heart to Shen Mo, he should be regarded as his own person, Tang Ruji asked cautiously: "My lord, I don't know what the imperial court's attitude is towards the current situation in the southeast?" He was also born in Beijing, so he naturally knew that it was impossible for Shen Mo to stop on Chongming Island without asking for instructions.

Sure enough, he said silently: "In the cabinet, I report every day, and the cabinet elder is still well aware of the affairs of the southeast." As he spoke, he got up and picked up a roll of white silk on the table and said, "Look, this is the Jun Zhi that only arrived this morning." ”

"This" Tang Ruji swallowed and foamed, "This is not appropriate, right?" ”

"Is there something that doesn't fit?" Shen Mo smiled kindly: "It's all your own people, I believe you won't go out and talk nonsense." ”

"That's that" Tang Ruji picked up the white towel on the table to wipe his hands, took the white silk with both hands, and unfolded it to take a look, only to see a few words on it: "The holy will has been decided, and it cannot be changed, but we must ensure the stability of the southeast, and we must not resurrect chaos." Thou shalt be cheap to poison, and if there is a good plan, report it quickly. "The following is Xu Jie's signature and seal.

After reading it, Tang Ruji carefully rolled up the white silk. He returned his hands and said, "So, Hu Dashuai must leave?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Mo nodded and said: "To say something taboo, if the marshal is in the southeast for a day, the emperor and the elder will lose sleep for a day." ”

Hearing his words, Tang Ruji's face turned pale with fright, and he said with difficulty: "But even an outsider like me, who is not treated well by the marshal, dare to say that it is impossible for him to rebel." ”

"Brother Siji, in this matter, the important thing is not what the marshal and the southeast civil and military think" said in a deep voice: "But what the emperor and adults in Beijing think." Saying that, he sighed a little helplessly: "Half of the rich country." It is not safe to put it in anyone's hands, only if you hold it firmly, it is the most reassuring. ”

"I see, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Tang Ruji nodded and said, "The era of Hu Zongxian is really coming to an end." ”

"Hmm." Silent jaw said: "Irreversible." ”

"But" Tang Ruji said: "Hu Zongxian doesn't seem to be reconciled, the civil and military officials south of the Yangtze River are also avenging his grievances, if it is not handled well, there will be chaos." These few words. I'm really thinking about silence.

Shen Mo nodded and said: "Hu Zongxian solved the crisis in the southeast and turned a mess into today's strong soldiers, and it is normal for everyone to obey him and get used to accepting his leadership." He said in a low voice: "But Xu Ge Lao in Beijing, who is used to seeing the ups and downs of many giants, does not believe at all, a person's stay has such a big impact, he firmly believes that as long as it is handled properly, there will not be too many problems." This is also the fundamental task for which he sent me south. ”

"But you're going to offend all your old friends and brothers." Tang Ruji said: "I don't think Elder Xu Ge is well-intentioned, you shouldn't have taken this errand in the first place." ”

"Hey, I won't do this, and others will come back to do it." Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Instead of letting others come and make a mess in the southeast, it's better for me to do it myself" At least I can save more brothers and let the southeast hurt a little less. ”

"I see," Tang Ruji bowed: "My lord has good intentions, sooner or later everyone will understand your hard work." ”

"I hope so." Shen Mo nodded, raised his head and said, "Before I came, I talked to Xu Ge Lao about an idea, and he thought it was not bad, and Brother Siji also referred to it in detail. "That's good." Tang Ruji smiled: "My lord, please speak." ”

"The imperial court's taboo against the governor of the southeast is nothing more than the military and political power of the six provinces being paid to one person, and the authority is too heavy." Shen Mo said lightly: "But the southeast is too important. You can't take it lightly for a moment, so you can't do without the governor's design. "So I wonder if the authority of the original governor of the southeast is divided into three or four parts." For example, according to the economy, terroir, history, region. Divided into Tibet, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangbei and other aspects, these regions are relatively independent of each other, and problems will not affect each other, so the establishment of a governor to govern alone. This solves most of the problems. In the unlikely event that a situation arises that crosses the jurisdiction, a temporary member of the Imperial Court may be appointed. Co-ordinate the strategy, and just do it. This kind of push-and-talk situation can also be handled. ”

Tang Ruji listened with wide eyes, he clearly felt that his heartbeat was accelerating, and there were several more governors at this time, "The governor is a prominent official in the imperial court, and the head of the military and political affairs is out, and he is called "the first important task of the marshal" Although the jurisdiction has been narrowed, there is no prestige of the governor of the southeast, but he is also a high-ranking official at the ministerial level, how many people dream of it.

After talking silently for a long time, he found that Tang Ruji's eyes were straight, so he stopped talking and said with a smile: "Brother Siji, do you have any questions?" ”

"Oh" Tang Ruji came back to his senses and said casually: "Question? Yes, yes, where is the governor of Jiangbei in charge? ”

"North of the Yangtze River." Shen smiled silently: "In other words, Nanzhili is his jurisdiction except for Nanjing. ”

"Isn't that the top boss of Governor Fengyang and Governor Su Song?" Tang Ruji said in a trembling voice: "The governor of Nanzhi is also..."

"Hmm." Shen Mo said: "Because it is to divide the power of the governor of the southeast into several sections, it is not difficult to pass the court meeting, and Xu Ge Lao believes that it is time to re-determine the establishment of the governor."

Tang Ruji calmed down a little and said, "Then say." Not necessarily?

"By the time it's decided, it's too late." Shen Mo said coldly: "This matter is no secret in the capital, how many people are staring at it." As he spoke, he said in a warm tone: "Of course, the governor is not something that everyone can do, and the officials in the southeast have a big advantage." ”

I know what my lord means, Tang Ruji nodded and said, "Then what should I do?" "Yes, how many times do you have to fight in life. If you always look ahead, you will only miss all the opportunities.

"Help me spread the news" Shen Mo said lightly: "Then prepare grain, grass, and weapons, the more the better, as soon as the weather gets warmer, it will be useful."

"Yes." Tang Ruji responded respectfully.

After sending Tang Ruji away, Xu Wei came with Hu Zongxian's letter, and opened it silently in front of him. After reading it, he was silent for a moment, and then handed it to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei looked at this poem repeatedly, and said softly: "Outside the broken bridge, lonely and ownerless." It's already dusk and I'm sad alone, and I'm even more worried about the wind and rain" Lonely guest, ownerless, dusk, wind and rain, and sad alone, it shows that he has understood his bleak and cold rain situation, and he felt unbearable pressure and sighed softly: "The first sentence of the next rhyme" has no intention of fighting for spring, and the group is jealous. He believed that what happened to him was because of the jealousy of the senior officials of the DPRK and China. And the last sentence, almost like a proverb, scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant, he realized his fate, and even had the determination to die to prove his innocence. ”

After saying these words, Xu Wei's face was already full of sympathy, and he said in a low voice: "Humble words, are we living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" ”

"Gentleman and villain," Shen Mo stood at the door with his hands in his hands, watching the waves crashing against the reef and rolling up pieces of broken jade, as if asking Xu Wei, and as if he was talking to himself: "Can it be used to define Hu Zongxian?" What the hell did he think? I really don't know. ”

"I don't know," Xu Wei sighed, "what he did, what he said and thought." It is full of contradictions and is unpredictable. ”

"Well said." Shen Mo nodded, looked at Xu Wei and said with a wry smile: "We don't know that it's not terrible for him to think like this, but it's terrible that he doesn't know it himself."

"I don't know what I think?" Xu Wei smiled and said, "Is it possible?" ”

"Why can't it be?" looked at him silently and said, "I don't dare to say anything else." Speaking of myself, although at first, I knew my heart very well. But after really hitting the road, after so many glorious setbacks, repeated between peaks and valleys, and doing so many undesirable and immoral things, looking back on the old dreams, it is already so strange and alienated. He said with a wry smile and said, "I don't know now that my struggle is for that lofty ideal, or to keep my position of power,"

Xu Wei didn't feel deep in this regard, because he had always refused to integrate into the officialdom, so he protected his innocence. But from the pain on his silent face, Xu Wei could understand what he meant, and said in a low voice: "You mean, Hu Zongxian can't recognize his heart anymore?"

Lost in the boundless sea, he said leisurely: "Maybe, but these Xu contradictions are not important to me and him, and there is no ambiguity at all when it is time to make a move." ”

"Aren't you trying your best to help him speak," Xu Wei said in a low voice: "If you hadn't been in the middle of it, I'm afraid the old man would have torn his face with Hu Zongxian a long time ago." ”

"So I've got to hurry." Shen Mo nodded and said, "You can't let Xu Ge wait for a long time, otherwise it will be self-defeating." ”

"Then how did Hu Zongxian reply?" Xu Wei asked.

He also walked to the table silently, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink on the inkstone and wrote a quatrain.

"Resistant to snow and frost in the world, the most fragrant flowers on the head.

The flowers fall especially with iron bones, which does not hinder the eternal flow of history. ”

Xu Wei watched from the side, and when he put down his pen silently, he said in a low voice: "You are so ruthless."

"The sooner it is resolved, the better, and it is better for him to take the initiative." Shen Mo gently stroked the jade paperweight on the table, which was given to him by Hu Zongxian back then, and said in a low voice: "In this case, I can still keep him."

1111, heart 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

At the same time, Wang Bengu's 800-mile rush had been sent to the Wuyi Hall in the West Garden of the capital.

Since the accident in the southeast, Zhang Juzheng simply moved into the General Administration Department, waiting for the latest news day and night, and as soon as he received Wang Bengu's letter, he hurriedly took it to the cabinet and handed it over to Xu Gelao, who was also anxiously waiting.

After reading the letter, Xu Jie took off his glasses. "What do you think?" ”

"Wang Bengu is obviously not good enough." Zhang Juzheng said angrily: "Hu Zongxian asked for it in a few words, in Beijing dialect." was sold and helped others count the money. ”

"Hehe," Xu Jie smiled noncommittally: "He said, the southeast can't be without Hu Zongxian for a day, otherwise the world will be in chaos." Is the problem in the southeast so serious? "It doesn't matter how serious the problem is." Zhang Juzheng said firmly: "The imperial court can't accept the coercion, otherwise the governors of various places will follow suit, who will listen to the imperial court in the future?" Paused and said: "And the southeast has been chaotic for a long time, and the people are at peace, as long as the government is careful to explain it." Those guys... The industry can't become a poison, and it seems that it is hanging now. Yes, indeed! If you are in a hurry, you will succeed if you do it. ”

"Hmm" Xu Jie nodded, he liked Zhang Juzheng's point, and his thinking was extremely clear. The reason why he was able to squeeze Hu Zongxian into a corner was inseparable from Zhang Juzheng's advice.

In fact, as soon as Yan Song left, he had the idea of taking out Hu Zongxian, but first, his holy family was not declining, second, there was still war in the southeast, and third, "it is also the most important point, I am worried that Hu Zongxian's military power is too great, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to deploy"

Because the southeast Jiansu exists in name only, the strength of the resistance comes from recruitment. Although the discipline and combat effectiveness of the recruited soldiers are higher than those of the world soldiers, because all the soldiers are from the ordinary people of the southeast, they have been promoted to officers after making military achievements, and the officers who recruit and promote them are recruited. Naturally, he obeyed his orders, and he was also grateful to Hu Dashuai, but only to the imperial court in Beijing. No emotion.

It was precisely because he was not sure of the reaction of hundreds of thousands of troops in the southeast, for fear of causing any chaos, that Xu Jie suppressed his thoughts for several years. Later, Zhang Juzheng gave him an idea, saying: "Now that the southeast is stable, but the north is full of wolves, it is better to transfer the proud soldiers from the southeast to the northern Xinjiang, so that the Rans can continue to fight and defend the country; Second, to save them from disturbing the rich lands of the south. In fact, there are still "three comes" Zhang Juzheng did not say it, but Xu Jie already understood, "If you move all the strong troops in the southeast far away and dilute the military power in Hu Zongxian's hands, the weaker his strength, the more peaceful he will be."

"This trick" is drawn from the bottom of the kettle. That's good. Xu Jie praised: "But can Hu Zongxian obediently comply?" ”

"This is his own doing." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Looking at his several concerts in a row, they are boasting that the "Southeast Dading" has no external battles to fight. Do you need so many soldiers in the southeast? Of course, the imperial court has to be transferred to a place where it is more needed, and if he opposes it, he will be beating himself up. I can only suffer this dumb loss. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful." Xu Jie thought about it, isn't that exactly the case? Therefore, since the 41st year of Jiajing, in two years, more than a dozen generals and above the staff level in the southeast have been transferred one after another. Among them are famous generals such as Zhu Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yin Feng.

Hu Zongxian really couldn't have a seizure, so he could only watch his dismal business and hand it over little by little? It wasn't until the end of last year that he finally said that the troops in the southeast had reached the bottom line, and if they were transferred again, they would not be able to calm the people internally and be humiliated externally, so he would no longer let any generals go north. Otherwise, in the spring of the next year, if the Gang makes a comeback, the tragedy in the southeast will surely repeat itself.

Xu Jie was also worried about too much transfer, so he agreed to his invitation, but from the words of Hu Zongxian's recital, he felt dissatisfied and coerced. This made Xu Ge Lao very worried, for fear that things would change over time, but he still didn't make up his mind whether to get rid of Hu Zongxian so quickly.

Because Hu Zongxian is a well-known anti-Japanese hero, the emperor personally sealed it, and the southeast pillar "If you take him down rashly, it will not be very good for the reputation of the imperial court." After all, no matter which dynasty. You can't just rely on assumptions to abolish a minister like Hu Zongxian......

Just when he was hesitating, it was Zhang Juzheng who said to him again: "Since we have already started to do it, there is no reason to stop halfway, because even if Hu Zongxian didn't have any objections at the beginning, let us run for two years, it is difficult to guarantee that we have any ideas." ”

"No matter what kind of person he is, or whether he has different aspirations or not, he must speak with facts." Xu Jie shook his head and said: "He is the crown prince, the official residence, the governor of the southeast, and his achievements are high. If it is withdrawn without evidence, the old man will become a contemporary Qin inspector. Said with a wry smile and said: "I believe that the emperor doesn't want to be Song Gaozong." "As for Hu Zongxian's corruption** or something, it's okay to smear him, but it must not be used as a knife to kill" It's not that this crime can't kill people, but the problem, the crows in the world are as black as black, which high-ranking official doesn't have a group of family members who receive gifts to the point of softness? Others don't say it, even Xu Gelao, who is famous for his honesty, has thousands of hectares of fertile land in his hometown, is it all bought by Yulu?

If they set a precedent for killing high-ranking officials on the basis of economic problems, their political enemies will also use the same charges against them in the future. Don't do what you want to do to others, this sentence is not only a moral saying, but also an unspoken law of officialdom.

11111, 111111, 11111, 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Listening to Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng sneered: "This is exactly what he hates, you transferred his subordinates one after another, and hinted at him several times, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, looking like you can't help me, such a scourge must not stay!" ”

"I know, I know" Xu Jie rubbed his wrinkles and said, "Or can the old man be worried like this?" Said a little impatiently: "If you don't have an idea, go back first, the old man has to be busy with other things." ”

"The teacher originally had a problem that couldn't be solved" Zhang Juzheng was not in a hurry, and smiled slightly: "Aren't they all looking for Shen Shuyan?" Why are you polite to him now? ”

"Humble words?" Xu Jiefa was stunned and said: "Isn't he so good with Zong Xian, and he is trying his best to help him eliminate the disaster, how can this matter be handed over to him?" ”

I'm fainted, I'm really fainted, and I haven't posted it after uploading it for a long time. If I hadn't looked at it before going to bed, I would have been dizzy.

If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence. Cheer up, cheer up, fight. war
