"Ge Lao, as far as I know, the southeast is not without excellent officials, although the number is small, but the officials who can make political achievements in that environment are really not ordinary officials, the so-called real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and what is refined must be real gold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Sun Chengen plans to recommend a few courtiers who are very famous in the southeast.

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Then you say, what real gold is worth recommending?" ”

Sun Chengen spoke: "There have been two great victories in the southeast before, although the main credit is on Zheng Pingzhi and the Black Flag Army, however, the officials behind him who support him cannot be ignored, without those officials supporting him, how can Zheng Pingzhi be a small person at that time to do great things?" ”

Xia Yan asked: "This is also true, then tell me, who is behind Zheng Pingzhi?" ”

Sun Chengen crossed his fingers and said: "One, the current governor of Zhejiang and the military envoy of Zhejiang, Zhu Kun, Zhu Kun is now in charge of the military and political power of Zhejiang, and has the right to supervise Zhejiang and Susong during the war, and he is an official who is very familiar with the southeast. ”

Xia Yan nodded slightly: "I know this person, he is a capable official, he was recommended to me before, I recommended him to be the governor of Su Song, he has made achievements, he is indeed a good candidate, but he is alone, I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" ”

Sun Chengen nodded and said: "Indeed, there are two other people, one is Fan Qing, the former prefect of Suzhou and the current governor of Susong, and the other is Tang Shunzhi, the current prefect of Suzhou and Susong. ”

Xia Yan frowned and said: "Fan Qing, I don't have any impression, I have some impression of Tang Shunzhi's words, the fool who was deprived of his position because he visited the prince?" What's going on? Enabled? Who enabled him? ”

Sun Chengen said in a low voice: "It is said that Tang Shunzhi, who was personally enabled by His Majesty, did not send a message to the cabinet, and only the official department and the two servants knew about it, His Majesty did not want to announce this matter, probably because His Majesty had his own thoughts, and it was said that many people knew about the original matter, and His Majesty was afraid that it would affect Tang Shunzhi."

As for Fan Qing, a second-class jinshi, after a few years of exile to the county, his political performance was acceptable, and he was transferred to the prefect of Suzhou. ”

Xia Yan nodded slowly, and then spoke: "So, Zhu Kun and that Fan Qing should be usable talents, but that Tang Shunzhi ......."

Sun Chengen looked around and said in a low voice: "Ge Lao, there is something I have to tell you, that Zheng Guang, it seems that the relationship with His Majesty is not ordinary, I have a fellow countryman's son in Jinyiwei, when he came to visit me at the beginning of this year, he told me that His Majesty had sent Jinyiwei Tongzhi to Jiangnan twice, and he had repeatedly sent him to pick up a young scholar into the palace, and said that the scholar was appreciated by His Majesty because he had written to His Majesty.

I pondered, Zheng Guang may be the young scholar, His Majesty may have been in contact with Zheng Guang before he was admitted to the Jinshi, and then Zheng Guang was repeatedly called to the palace by His Majesty, needless to say, it must be played right, about the southeast thing, and there is another point, that Tang Shunzhi is Zheng Guang's mentor, a famous scholar in the southeast. ”

Xia Yan was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

The next day, Zheng Guang got up early in the morning, because he slept in the wing room last night, so he could prepare together, and went to the cabinet canteen with Yan Ne to eat some breakfast, and hurried back to the cabinet, Xia Yan sat there early in the morning and waited, and when he saw the two of them arrive, he got up and took the two of them to the Ziguang Pavilion.

After the day was completely bright, the gate of the Ziguang Pavilion Palace opened, and the two cabinet scholars took the lead, the six Shangshu, the Shilang, the left and right imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, the envoy of the General Administration, the Dali Siqing, and other more than 20 red-robed high-ranking officials rushed in, stood in two rows on the left and right, and knelt down together facing the Jiajing Emperor who was already sitting on the top in the north: "Long live my emperor!" ”

Emperor Jiajing is wearing a very formal robe today, it is a dragon robe, which looks much better than the previous robe, and Zheng Guang also noticed that many of the ministers are more excited, I don't know if they haven't seen the emperor for too long to be so excited, because if the emperor doesn't go to court, except for the ministers, the other courtiers really don't have many opportunities to see the emperor.

Emperor Jiajing obviously did not have much interest in chatting with his courtiers, and he set the tone for today's meeting: "Today I convened a court meeting, you should also know why, since I decided to first the south and then the north, I have not thought of a good way to solve the southeast problem, but since we want to pacify the Japanese invaders, we must first have the right people to take up the corresponding positions, I decided to set up the governors of the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Nanzhi in the southeast, and put together the three provinces that are the most ferocious in the country. If you have any good candidates to recommend, I will consider them. ”

Otherwise, Emperor Jiajing is the most awesome and dislikes to be bound by rules, Emperor Zhengde still doesn't dare to be arrogant and arbitrary, and only dares to make a leopard room to make a small fuss, and Emperor Jiajing dares, and when he comes up, he says that he wants to set up governors of the three provinces, or the three provinces with the largest taxes and the most dense population in the southeast, and he doesn't discuss it with the ministers at all, so he says it, and asks everyone to recommend candidates, and directly gives the matter of the governors of the three provinces, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di may not be able to do this kind of thing. It is enough to see the willfulness and arrogance of Emperor Jiajing, but there is no way, who makes the family the strongest emperor after Emperor Yongle?

The ministers deeply understood that they didn't think it was wrong for Emperor Jiajing to do this, but began to consider the right candidate, thinking about their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, but Xia Yan raised some worries: "Your Majesty, the so-called matter is urgent, the southeast is urgent, Your Majesty is anxious to calm the troubles, the old ministers can understand, but the three provinces of Nanzhi, Zhejiang, and Fujian are important places in the Ming Dynasty, and the essence of the southeast is located. At that time, it may affect the big things. ”

In fact, what Xia Yan wants to say more is that what you say now sounds good, give it to a person, but in the back, I am afraid that the worst is also this person, if you are not suspected of death, you will also be suspected of death by the Taoist officials, those people like to chase after the wind and catch shadows when they are full and have nothing to do, reversing black and white, and only caring about personal preferences regardless of whether it is good or evil, or taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others, using their sacred power for personal gain, and even becoming a tool for political struggle, and morale corruption will be corrupted on these people!

And the emperor obviously only thought that the authority was concentrated in one person to do things, but he didn't think that he had never been the one who used people without suspicion and suspicion, and when the time came, people's heads fell off before they finished their affairs, or they simply sent someone to disgust and kill people, how could this be a big deal? Then simply do not concentrate authority in one person from the beginning, send two or three people to check each other, but also cooperate with each other, and do not give supreme power to one person, or only concentrate authority in one person in real emergencies, and return it when the matter is done.

So, hello, hello, everyone.

Emperor Jiajing could hear what Xia Yan meant, frowned, obviously, he also began to think about these things, and concentrated the power of the three southeastern provinces in one person, just like the envoy of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, how to think about it and feel uneasy, when the time comes, the soldiers of the three provinces will all obey this person's orders, once this person has two hearts, not to mention rebellion, just say that the tail is not big, then how can it be good?

Daming already has Yunnan Mu Wangfu, like a country in the country, Yunnan Tusi only knows Mu Wangfu but does not know the Ming government, it is still a remote place, barely patient, after all, it is Emperor Taizu to do something, Mu Ying is the godson of others, people believe, but the southeast wealth is heavy, how can it be in the hands of others?

It seems that you really can't just use a southeast governor to hand over the southeast to this person, it's one thing to be at ease, it's another thing to be able to do it, the authority is too heavy, but it's not beautiful.

Emperor Jiajing then said, "Then, does Elder Xia Ge have any ideas? If the governors of the three provinces are not established, how can they act in unison and annihilate the Japanese invaders? ”

Xia Yan was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the annihilation of the Japanese is a military matter, and the establishment of the governors of the three provinces can completely limit their powers to military affairs, and limit them to attacking the Japanese and exterminating the Japanese invaders, and not allowing them to interfere in local government affairs, but, in view of some problems that have occurred before, the old minister suggested that once the war starts, where the governor's troops will fight, the local officials must obey the governor's dispatch, whether it is to provide grain and grass or to clear the wilderness, as long as it is wartime, the governor has special powers, and after the war, Everything is back to the way it was. ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "You mean, in wartime, the governor is the governor and has the power of the governor, and in peacetime, the governor only has the right to command the army?" ”

Xia Yan nodded: "That's right, of course, as long as it is to clean up the Japanese invaders, the local officials must cooperate, and some preparations before the war, the local officials must also cooperate, and the governor can let the local officials cooperate on the grounds of war, but the power of appointment and dismissal, the power of local governance, and the local finances are completely independent and not at the control of the governor, and His Majesty can also send another transfer envoy to be responsible for providing food, grass and military salaries for the army." ”
