This winter in Hangzhou is particularly cold, with more snow than usual in several years, and even freezing.

But no matter how bad the weather was, she couldn't stop Ah Man's brisk steps, she wore a beautiful little silk jacket, ran to the silent room on time, and issued a very sincere invitation: "Uncle, let's go out to play." ”

Silent and afraid of the cold, he would never go out in this kind of weather, so he smiled and said, "Aman, let's bake loaches." After saying that, he kicked out the bitter iron pillar and told him to dig for loaches in the lake...... In winter, the loaches are all hiding in the mud, completely losing their agility, and the stupid ones are just caught, and the fat ones are just eating.

Rou Niang was grinding ink for Shen Mo, and chuckled when she heard this: "My lord, do you still write letters?" Shen Mo stayed for another three or five days, and the two gradually became acquainted.

Shen Mo shook his head and said, "Don't care about those things for now, so as not to affect your appetite." ”

Ah Man nodded very seriously and said, "Roasted loaches are more important." ”

Shen Mo laughed and asked Rou Niang to prepare the materials. Rou Niang is also familiar with the road, and after a while, she came back with a tray, in addition to the necessary condiments, there are also a few plates of mushrooms, mushrooms, chicken wings, fresh shellfish or something that have been skewered, all of which are the favorites of Shen Mo and A Manping.

Ah Man was about to fly happily, and circled around Rou Niang and said, "Sister is so good." Uncle Shen was very depressed when he heard it.

Shen Mo and Rou Niang worked together to open the lid of the smoke cage outside, and then separated it from an iron shelf, which was a square barbecue grill...... Of course, this was the original intention of the designer, but if Shen Mo had to use it like this, no one could do anything to him. First bake a few skewers for Xiao Aman to satisfy his hunger, wait for the two feet of the iron pillar to come back, and then wash the loaches and string them with iron tongs, before arriving at this dinner.

In this wax month, the silent barbecue technology has improved by leaps and bounds, only to see one hand plucking the loaches on the rack like playing the piano, and the other hand holding a wolf pen from Huzhou, dipped in the condiments carefully adjusted by Rou Niang while roasting and brushing, the action is elegant and orderly, and the loaches are roasted to brown, and the taste of the condiments is also baked.

First grilled a few skewers for the impatient little Aman, Aman is very good at eating, she first peeled off the burnt skin, and the white and tender meat was exposed inside, and sent it to Shen Mo's mouth, so that he could take a bite first. Shen Mo took a small bite gently, and Ah Man happily took a small bite, not because they pretended to be Sven, but because there were internal organs inside, they had to bite gently and taste it slowly.

A few people were having a barbecue in a luxuriously decorated room, of course they didn't feel weird, but when outsiders came in, when they saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked, even a well-informed old gentleman like Zhang Jing almost thought that he was sleepwalking.

It wasn't until he was silent and greeted him warmly, and when Ah Man brought a string of fragrant loaches to his mouth, the old governor reacted and muttered, "You guys are too good at tossing, aren't you?" ”

Hearing the master's comment, he smiled silently and embarrassedly: "Accompanying the child to fool around makes the adults laugh." As he spoke, he asked Governor Zhang to speak to calligraphy.

Rou Niang served fragrant tea to the two adults, closed the heavy wooden door, and the study suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Jing held the teacup, took a sip before Ming, and said lightly: "As soon as the holy decree arrives tomorrow, Li Tianpet and I will get out." "Formal channels always have to be slow, in fact, the whole Zhejiang knows this news.

Shen Mo whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't help the ministry." He had been hiding in his room for the past few days, just afraid to see the soon-to-be-appointed governor.

Zhang Jing looked serene, and there was no heaviness between his eyebrows, only to hear him smile: "Elder Xu Ge wrote and told me the ins and outs of the matter. The old man knew that he could be punished with a 'never use', which was already a blessing to invite heaven...... Although he said that it was the governor of Lu Du who helped him, his intuition told me that your report was the main driving force. Saying that, he glanced at Shen Mo and said with a smile: "I'm curious, can you reveal it?" ”

Shen Mo said softly: "If it weren't for the big people who wanted to save you, even if the students wrote wildly, it would be useless." ”

Seeing that he refused to say more, Zhang Jing knew that there must be a hidden secret, so he no longer asked, but said deeply: "No matter what, thank you for your words and help each other." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly turned sideways and saluted: "Adults are ashamed of the students. ”

The two sat down again, Zhang Jing's expression became more and more serious, and he only heard him say in a deep voice: "Humble words, what do you think about the future situation in Zhejiang?" ”

"Sharp turn." At this time, there was no need to hide clumsiness, and Shen Mo simply said something: "After the big victory, the boss was dismissed, which is a heavy blow to the situation against the Japanese, especially after you go, the Manchu Dynasty will not find one who can suppress the generals from all walks of life, as well as the members of those wolf soldiers." This will undoubtedly greatly stabilize the morale of the Japanese and boost their arrogance. Saying that, he sighed and said, "In the spring of next year, they will definitely retaliate like crazy......"

"You're right, next spring will be even harder than winter." Zhang Jing smiled faintly: "But don't be too pessimistic. ”

"My lord, please advise." Shen said solemnly.

"There's nothing mysterious about it." Zhang Jing said softly: "After a year of hard fighting, the soldiers and civilians in Zhejiang are no longer so flustered. In particular, the battle of Wang Jiangjing let them know that the main force of the original Japanese invaders could also be defeated, and this accumulation of confidence and experience was the biggest gain in this battle. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "So you have to protect the troops participating in the war, especially the generals who lead the troops, as long as they are there, Zhejiang will not be in chaos." ”

Shen Mo smiled bitterly when he heard this: "My lord, it seems that this should be said to Lord Zhou." ”

"I can only tell you." Zhang Jing said in a deep voice: "Zhou Fu can't do it for long at all!" ”

Shen Mo was very surprised by his categorical decision: "As far as I know, at that time, Yan Ge Lao recommended Zhao Shilang, but was vetoed by His Majesty, and asked Xu Ge Lao to recommend him, so it was Zhou Zhongcheng's turn?" It can be seen that His Majesty is determined not to let Yan Ge Lao get involved in this governor. ”

Zhang Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you know why I was removed?" ”

"It is said to be the result of the struggle above." Shen Mo said softly.

"Don't look at Yan Song's power, but if His Majesty wants to protect me, he won't dare to squeak." Zhang Jing lowered his voice and said, "So Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with me is the fundamental reason. ”

Shen silently listened to him continue: "It's not for anything else, it's because my anti-Japanese strategy is diametrically opposed to His Majesty's thinking. I only heard Zhang Jing say calmly: "Your Majesty wants a quick victory, but I am slowly trying to figure it out, so I will naturally be dissatisfied with me, and I am happy to see the Yan Party bring me down." ”

Shen Mo's eyes widened, and he said a little incredulously: "My lord, if this is the case, no one can do anything with this Southeast Governor." "Because the situation in the southeast is here, it is useless to invite Chang Yuchun out of the grave.

"It doesn't sound good, but it's true." Zhang Jing smiled irresponsibly: "Only when Your Majesty changes a few more times, knowing that no one can fight quickly, can the lucky governor work with peace of mind." Saying that, he looked deeply at Shen Mo and said, "But you are different, Your Majesty appointed you as the Inspector of the Military Dao this time." Although the official position is not high, it can supervise both the military and the political circles, which is much stronger than a single patrol...... And don't let you do errands specific seals, this is your protection. ”

"Protection?"

"At present, the imperial court is strict and the party is dominant, but its reputation is invisible." Zhang Jing said with a smile on his face: "When you mix with these people, you will be like grass and dung, and the fertilizer will be fat, and it will be difficult to get rid of your own pollution." Once the Yan Party falls, it will no longer want to gain a foothold in the court. He smiled and said: "If you don't do errands, you can be outside the intricate factions, but you can give all the supervision powers, so that they can neither pull nor dare to fight you, what is this not protection?" As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Shen Mo and said, "Congratulations, Brother Shen, now the whole Zhejiang knows that you are the person in His Majesty's pocket, and no one will get along with you." ”

These Dao Dao silently thought of it, but the future is too far away, and Emperor Jiajing is too fickle, who knows if he will think of himself in a few days, so he is not excited, but said softly: "I'm afraid that the students don't have that much ability." ”

"It's not for you to take it all over." Zhang Jing shook his head and smiled: "No matter who becomes the governor in the future, for a long time, Zhejiang will be Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian who have the final say." So Lu Bo doesn't need you to worry about it, he and Hu Zongxian have long been eyebrows; It's useless for Tang Ke to be carefree, he is too close to me, and he is too arrogant, Hu Zongxian wants to be powerful, so he must be knifed. As for Tan Lun and Tang Shunzhi, they are all old rivers and lakes, and they don't need to worry about you at all. After a pause, he said: "What I'm worried about is Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, the two of them are military generals without factions, and they are most likely to fall victim to others." ”

He said silently: "As long as I am in Zhejiang for one day, I will do my best to fulfill your entrustment." ”

Zhang Jing nodded with a smile, and said again: "There is one more thing, it is difficult for some strong people, you can agree, it doesn't matter if you don't agree." ”

"Your Excellency, you might as well talk about it first."

"Wolves." Zhang Jing sighed and said, "Just like you are worried about, it must be a big problem as soon as I leave them...... In the end, there is no way to clean it up, and the court will definitely send them all away. ”

"That would be a pity." Shen Mo had seen the powerful strength of the wolf soil soldiers, and knew that if they were not in front, the officers and soldiers would probably immediately show their original form.

"So, can you find a way to help them and keep them?"
