"The student has seen Master Hu!"

Li Weiguo came to Pinghu City by appointment, and when he saw Hu Zongxian, he respectfully saluted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it seems that there is a new guest in Pinghu City today, and Hu Zongxian is standing next to him at this time, a little arrogant, in short, Li Weiguo has never seen it before.

"Okay, don't be polite, the one next to me is the squire of the Ministry of Works of the imperial court, and the righteous son of Lord Yan Songyan, Zhao Wenhua."

It turned out that this person was Zhao Wenhua! Li Weiguo smiled.

At today's surrender ceremony, I didn't expect Zhao Wenhua to come.

"The student has met Master Zhao."

Li Weiguo said respectfully.

In addition to his son Yan Shifan, Yan Song also has two right-hand men.

One is Yan Maoqing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other is Zhao Wenhua, the squire of the Ministry of Engineering and the supervisor of the Jiangnan military affairs.

Hu Zongxian is a person who wants to do something practical, so he has a lot of respect for Yan Maoqing, Zhao Wenhua and others, and he has called for a lot of money both openly and secretly, which has also become an important reason for Hu Zongxian's fall in the future.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Zhao Wenhua is about fifty years old, with a beard on his face, and he looked at Li Weiguoli for a few weeks, and couldn't help but bow: "Okay, no courtesy."

I heard that you are young and this won the palace temptation flower, and this led three hundred soldiers and horses in Tongxiang to kill one thousand; In this battle of Zhapu, he bravely killed the enemy and sank dozens of enemy ships! It's not easy. ”

Unexpectedly, this Zhao Wenhua knew Li Weiguo's exploits in such detail.

Li Weiguo hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and glanced at Hu Zongxian with the same gratitude.

Eighty percent of these things were told to Zhao Wenhua by Hu Zongxian, right?

"Hmm." Looking at Li Weiguo, he hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and Zhao Wenhua was even more happy: "There are not many young people who can hold it like this, you are not arrogant, add another merit!" ”

Zhao Wenhua said.

Didn't you Yan Shifan say that this Li Weiguo is unavailable? Hmph, I, Zhao Wenhua, did the opposite!

This Li Weiguo is a national meritorious, why can't he make friends? Lao Tzu not only wants to befriend this Li Weiguo today, but also to make this person grateful to himself, I see what you Yan Shifan can do to me!

Zhao Wenhua and Yan Shifan have been competing for many years, the two can be said to be incompatible, it is estimated that if Yan Song did not often mediate from it, these two would be inseparable!

Therefore, Zhao Wenhua thought like this.

Li Weiguo, as the governor of Zhejiang Province, has made meritorious contributions in supervising the war against the Japanese, so great merit, should he not be added to the rank of knight?

Hmph, I handed over the excerpt to Li Weiguo's invitation, I'm afraid that even the emperor won't say a word, you Yan Shifan is still slapping his swollen face and becoming fat! What kind of second uncle?

Since you Yan Shifan hates Li Weiguo, then I will recruit this Li Weiguo into his command, this kid is estimated to be a smart person, let him have nothing to do with you, and watch the play by himself, wouldn't it be happy?

Zhao Wenhua had a bad taste, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt.

"Lord Zhao is in love, the kid is just doing something for the country and the people."

Li Weiguo said humbly.

"Hmm." Zhao Wenhua stroked his beard and smiled.

Hu Zongxian also seemed quite satisfied, glanced at Zhao Wenhua, and seemed a little proud.

This kid seems to be quite appreciated by Zhao Wenhua now, and he is also a meritorious person.

"Governor Hu knows how to make good use of people, and he does not hesitate to reward, he went up to the court and told the court, your merits can now be promoted several levels in a row, and you will be a prefect of Jiaxing!"

Zhao Wenhua said with a smile.

Li Weiguo was suddenly a little stunned.

Jiaxing prefect?

Li Weiguo is still the Zhejiang Provincial Inspector at this time, the seven-grade official, and the Jiaxing prefect is the fifth-grade!

Moreover, the imperial history belongs to the control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the prefect of Jiaxing is controlled by the local political envoy or governor, and does not belong to a system.

With so much effort, you want to promote yourself?

Li Weiguo thought to himself that he didn't send silver, why did Zhao Wenhua come to such a show?

"Lord Zhao must not, how can the little He De be able to do it, it is really embarrassing!"

Whether it succeeds or not, this set of rhetoric still has to be said.

The officialdom is all about vain and wrongdoing, and some words are useless, but you have to say it.

Hu Zongxian was so willing to help himself?

Hu Zongxian in history is a more demanding person, and the fall of this person is more or less related to this person's character, why is this person so on the pole to help himself?

And the most important thing is that Zhao Wenhua is willing to listen to him?

"Hahaha......" Zhao Wenhua waved his hand: "You have enough credit, naturally you can." ”

"Yes, Li Weiguo, don't shirk it." Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "Now Lord Zhao is about to enter the Ministry of Officials, and almost all the official appointments and dismissals of the Ming Dynasty will be decided by this Lord Zhao, and your appointment documents will soon come down, and you will be the justifiable prefect of Jiaxing at that time!" ”

Hu Zongxian said: "Don't forget Zhao Wenhua and Lord Zhao's kindness!" ”

Hu Zongxian said for a long time, and the last thing he said was a bit "ambiguous".

The meaning is actually obvious, Zhao Wenhua and himself help you realize your ambitions, and give you such an important position, you can't express it?

Hu Zongxian was a famous official in the Ming Dynasty, this person was shrewd, and it should be said that his achievements were also relatively dazzling, enough to shine through the ages.

But this man is greedy.

Especially when he helped this Li Weiguo do something, he naturally couldn't forget to want some benefits.

Not to mention Zhao Wenhua, this person is Yan Song's minion, and he is even more happy when he sees the silver money!

To put it bluntly, this can actually be understood as: Now as long as you Li Weiguo's silver is enough, the position of the prefect of Jiaxing is yours!

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is corrupt and defeated to this point.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had begun to be terminally ill, especially this officialdom, which was no longer as incorruptible as it was during the Hongwu Dynasty.

The officialdom of this era is a transaction of money and power, and students from poor families need to hone for decades if they want to get to the top, and they have to make achievements, they have to be helped, and they have to ...... Summoning silver.

There were few officials in the Ming Dynasty who were not corrupt, and this is exactly the case.

Even an incorruptible official like Qi Jiguang is corrupt.

This is not meant to discredit national heroes, but it is true.

When Qi Jiguang was in power, he was also greedy for a lot of silver taels, no way, if everyone is turbid, if I am clear, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in this society.

So in order to get to the top, in order to fulfill your ambitions, you have to learn to adapt to this dirty officialdom.

Fortunately, Li Weiguo was not an angry young man, and he smiled: "The kid naturally doesn't dare to treat the two adults badly." ”

As he spoke, he patted his cuffs.

In the sleeve is the meeting gift prepared by Li Weiguo for the two, and it is inconvenient to take it out at this time, so it will naturally be handed over to the housekeeper of the two after a while.

If it is such a world today, there is no need for Li Weiguo to pretend to be high.

Zhao Wenhua smiled, glanced to the side, and thought that this person was a big ghost, and he knew so much about officialdom in the 14th Five-Year Plan.

No wonder Hu Zongxian said that everyone is not careful.

After talking about business, a few people will casually talk a few words, after all, there are still big things today.

A few days ago, Xu Hai announced his surrender, Hu Zongxian was naturally full of joy, and the two agreed that the place of surrender was in Pinghu City.

Counting the hour, this time is also time.

Zhao Wenhua straightened his chest.

He received a holy order to supervise the war against the Japanese in Zhejiang, and now Wang Zhi has been stabilized, and Xu Hai, the second largest Japanese thief, announced his surrender.

That's a great achievement!

I naturally want to be glamorous at the surrender ceremony for a while, and this matter will be spread to the imperial court in the future, and I will supervise the battle in Zhejiang and take this Xu Hai, which is also a good thing.

At this time, Zhao Wenhua was full of joy, just wait for a while, and this will be beautiful.

Among the ten thousand people, it is the wish of every man to accept the surrender of the enemies of the imperial court.

Zhao Wenhua thought about this, and couldn't help but be excited, after a while, he was going to be angry.

Hu Zongxian is a shrewd person, and he understands the thoughts of others the most, and he didn't forget to say a few words: "I will be surrendered in a while, but I will have to rely on Lord Zhao more!" ”

Hu Zongxian's praise made this Zhao Wenhua very proud.

The people of Zhejiang and the officials of the entire imperial court are now staring at themselves openly and secretly, and they are afraid that they will shine in the annals of history in the future.

It's amazing!

Zhao Wenhua said in his heart.

Thinking that the Japanese Rebellion had disturbed the peace of Zhejiang for decades, the imperial court successively transferred more than 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress it, but in the end it was solved in its own hands.

Zhao Wenhua was overjoyed.

After a while, a soldier came up: "My lord, the sentry is coming to report, Xu Hai is coming." ”

A historic moment is about to begin.

Zhao Wenhua, who heard the news, couldn't help but feel a pounding in his heart.

The moment of great glory is coming.

I am afraid that this is the most glorious moment for me to be an official for decades.

Zhao Wenhua couldn't bear to straighten his clothes: "Okay, okay." ”

Hu Zongxian was obviously also very excited: "Lord Zhao's hard work has finally paid off!" ”

The officials at the head of the city couldn't help but be overjoyed at this time, and they were so happy.

After fighting for so long, they are finally going to take this Xu Hai, how can you make them unhappy?

After a while, the sentry came to report again: "My lord, Xu Hai is less than twenty miles away from here. ”

For such an important file as today, the sentry naturally has to report it every while, basically as long as Xu Hai walks ten miles, the sentry will come to Pinghu to report.

This is a common practice in the military, after all, this Xu Hai is a Jiangyang thief, so he still has to be cautious.

What if there's something greasy in it?

Xu Hai is about to arrive, twenty miles, in a flash.

Zhao Wenhua was about to laugh, but the sentinel's next sentence made him hesitate a little.

"My lord, Xu Hai is here with the whole army this time, and there are more than 10,000 people."

"Hmm!" Zhao Wenhua is happy, it seems that this person is still very sincere in surrendering! Wait, more than 10,000 people?

"Lord Hu, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" Zhao Wenhua asked.

Xu Hai brought 10,000 people to surrender, if it was really natural, it would be the best, but if there was anything wrong with him!

Zhao Wenhua felt a little scared and suddenly asked.

"A few thousand."

Hu Zongxian's answer surprised Zhao Wenhua, there are only a few thousand people in the city?

So what if Xu Hai has a bad heart? (To be continued.) )
