Chapter 609: Old Xi'er
。 After listening to Chen Futai's words, he smiled silently: "You can't just look at the surface of everything. He sighed and said, "Although we have been in contact for a short time. But you should also know what kind of person I am silent, right? The crowd immediately began to say in a flood of words, "Your Excellency is benevolent, and your Excellency is wise and courageous." The corners of his mouth curled slightly, but he shook his head and said, "You didn't tell the truth, I think your evaluation of me shouldn't be too high." ”
"My lord said this." Everyone shook their heads like rattles and said: "Our admiration for you is like the water of the Yellow River, and there is no trace of resentment." ”
"Don't you think" Shen Mo smiled and said: "This official is a little too dark and ruthless, and he is ruthless?" ”
"Where, where, no, no," everyone hurriedly denied it, but they inevitably nodded in agreement, Shen Mo came to Xuanfu this time to turn over the clouds and rain, kill and decide, and won the governor of Xuanda at the beginning, and then turned around to squeeze the shameless appearance of Zhou Tu and the two Qincha, and finally locked more than 8,000 Ming troops outside the city gate, and only let them enter the city after taking enough heads.
Through this; Matter, the officials of Xuanfu City have reached a consensus that Lord Shen's temperament is arsenic mixed with garlic and poisonous and spicy! I just don't dare to admit it.
"If you don't say it, I know it." Shen Mo smiled and said, "You have a grudge against me. As he spoke, he raised his hand to stop everyone from arguing. smiled and said: "But you can inquire, when I was in Beijing and Suzhou, I was famous for my good temper, and I never blushed with any colleague, nor did I break off any official road." Touching his chin as he spoke, he recalled: "Everyone gave me a nickname called "Blessing", which means that whoever is an official with me will have a good day, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner. ”
When the crowd heard this, their hearts couldn't help but move, and they could vaguely hear the silence of "Come with me, there will be meat to eat." Ah, but I heard the warning in his words. It's just that I can't tell if there is more of a warning or a lot of courting, so no one dares to speak casually, and they all look at the most intelligent Chen Futai, hoping that he can probe again.
Chen Bude took the lead and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you mean that this situation is very special?" "He's undoubtedly smart, and from that angle, there's plenty of room to move forward.
"Yes" Shen Mo glanced at him approvingly, nodded and said softly: "Don't look at me silently showing off my martial arts, it seems that I am very capable, but in fact, I am just acting on orders." And the reason why the adults chose me to do this errand is because I can understand the meaning and will not do the errand out of shape. ”
"What do you mean," Chen Bude asked softly again, "This adult, is it going to be replaced?" Such a straightforward question made everyone's eyes widen and wanted to hear how Ammo answered.
Silent and smiled, so he said in a tricky way: "Mo Dao floating clouds will eventually obscure the sun." Spring buds bloom after a harsh winter. Seasonal changes are not something that we little people can control. As the official became bigger and bigger, his tone became tighter and tighter, and every word he said seemed to imply something to you, but it was impossible to make a fuss with his words.
Not letting everyone think much about whether it was a harsh winter or a spring bud, Shen Mo then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the border general doesn't have to ask the cabinet. But I can tell you clearly that as the imperial court has established a victory in the southeast battlefield, the overall strategic focus will inevitably go to the north. The imperial court had accumulated experience and confidence in the southeast, and seeing that the southern provinces, which were far inferior to the north militarily, had built up powerful armies capable of winning battles, it had completely decided that the north should not be incompetent, and should not even be inferior to the south. Saying that, he waved his hand vigorously, raised his voice slightly, and said: "So from the emperor and the cabinet, down to the military department and the science and technology, everyone has reached a consensus to make great efforts to rectify the nine sides!" ”
Compared with the battle of the cabinet, it was still something personal, which attracted the hearts of everyone present and listened to the silent words. They all fell into deep thought.
"Yang Shun, Lu Kai, and even bigger figures were brought to justice, which is to sacrifice the flag for the nine-border military reform." He said silently: "From now on, anyone who is afraid of the enemy and cowardly, kills the enemy and takes the risk, neglects to practice, and is about to collapse at the touch of a button will be dealt with the most severely. Saying that, his eyes swept over everyone majestically, and he said: "If you don't change your mind from now on, and you still have to learn from the words of Yang Lu and the others, then I can't say that this official will have to run again." ”
Everyone hurriedly swore an oath, and promised to never disappoint Lord Shen's expectations, practice well, and fight well.
After all, this is a celebration banquet, and in the end, he turned back to a relaxed and happy tone, and smiled at everyone: "But you don't have to be too nervous, after all, we have fought together, and the deep friendship is here, I will try my best to take care of you." ”
"Thank you, sir," why don't you know why? They stood up together and saluted, "We will live up to the expectations of adults." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Shen Mo smiled and said: "Drink the celebration wine together today, and show your skills in the future!" ”
Everyone knew that after the leader finished speaking, they stepped forward to toast, and silently knew that if they wanted to really convince the northerners, they must not admit cowardice at the wine table. This made Xuanfu Wenwu's impression of him change greatly, and he said that wine is like character, and it seems that although Lord Shen has a lot of children, he is ruthless. But at the end of the day, Huai is a real person. The noodles are very lively.
At this time, a small official came in from outside, and whispered a few words in Chen Bude's ear, Chen Bude nodded, asked him to retreat first, and whispered silently: "My lord, Cui Lao led all the middlemen in the city to stay and come to congratulate him." ”
Shen Mo smiled when he heard this: "Welcome, welcome." Saying that, he said to Chen Bude: "Hurry up and add a table." Chen Bude nodded and replied: "Xiaguan will arrange it." But he was silently stopped and said:
"Let someone else go, we have to go out and meet you."
"Ah, I'll greet you on behalf of the lord," Chen Bude hurriedly said.
"I'll take it myself.
Shen Mo shook his head.
Sure enough, for his outing. Cui Lao and the others were very surprised, and even felt flattered. said in a loud voice: "You are Qincha, who is worthy of your greeting?" ”
Shen Mo arched his hand and said: "Cui Laode is a tall woman, why can't he afford it?" ”
"The etiquette is not good, the etiquette is not good." Cui Lao hurriedly returned the salute.
"Respecting the elderly is etiquette." Shen smiled and hugged Cui Lao and said, "What's more, I have to thank you well." ”
Cui Lao stopped refusing at this time. In his mouth, he said "panic" and was silently helped into Hua'er and sat down next to him.
"Sit down." Shen silently greeted the rest of the officials, Shi Zhong said, "Today is not a Hongmen banquet. It is the celebration banquet of our Xuanfu. You don't have to be inhibited. "All those who had gone to the feast laughed and thanked Mrs. Chincha, and took their seats.
Wait for everyone to sit down. Cui Lao smiled and said to Shen Mo: "Today's good news is that under the wise leadership of your lordship, our army played a triumphant song, attacked the Mongolian Huangtaiji outside the city, and then pursued all the way, broke the enemy camp, and killed and captured countless people. A victory not seen in several years! As he spoke, he looked at the scholars who came with him and said, "Although we old fellows can't go into battle, we have the same heart as the soldiers." We were so happy to hear that we had won the battle, so we prepared a small gift and took the liberty to congratulate the adults and the generals! Please don't dislike it. ”
The middle-aged man who had been following him handed over a beautiful gift list with both hands until he was silent
Former.
Shen Mo opened it and took a look. In addition to a large sum of silver, there is also a large amount of wine, meat, grain and oil, cotton clothes and quilts, which are exactly what ordinary soldiers need most. couldn't help but rejoice from the bottom of his heart: "Elder Cui has good intentions, and the generals and soldiers thank you for being old." "If the gift prepared by Cui Lao, in addition to gold and silver treasures, is silk and satin, it will inevitably be divided among civil and military officials, and the lower-level soldiers will not get anything. But now, in addition to a sum of money for the officials, they have made some ordinary wine, meat, clothes and quilts, so that those officials cannot embezzle, so that as much as possible can be distributed to the people below.
This is an inconspicuous move, but it has greatly changed Shen Mo's impression of this old guy, and he said in his heart that this old Xi'er is not blindly selfish. The feast goes on, and when you have drunk to a certain extent, it is time to have fun.
Zhu Shen brought a troupe, what kind of opera was staged outside the flower hall, gongs and drums, silk and bamboo, and the bright Danjiao threw a flattering eye inward from time to time, which provoked a lot of lustful people, dry talk, and restlessness.
Since it is a labor army, it will not let the heroes only be addicted, and Zhu Shen also took out his wallet to buy some of the most beautiful and coquettish sisters in Xuanfu City. Come and pour wine for the adults, and laugh with them. Of course, if there is a hurry, they will not refuse to use wine to hug left and right, and laugh and play.
This was the social climate at the time. It is not a shameful thing to gather a crowd of prostitutes to have fun, but because the scholars and doctors are tired of it, it is whitewashed as a "romantic affair", whether it is the south or the north, the frontier or the capital. It's all true. When you see that even the seventy-eighty-year-old Cui Lao is playing hot with a tender little woman, you should know that in the eyes of people at the time, this is just a social activity. You don't have to go online.
The best is naturally reserved for the biggest, two tall and hot women with delicate faces. One left and one right leaned up and was silent, saying that they were going to pour him wine. Such a young and handsome, but high-powered man, is simply the nemesis of Hongchen women, and the two ordinary ** who are also very shelf-rich, and Shen Mo said a word, and couldn't help but eat his tofu. This made the silent who was a little disgusted by the loveless coquettish woman, and quietly pushed away the little hands of the two women, and said, "The official is going to change his clothes." Saying that, he glanced at the old cui, and the old cui smiled at him and nodded.
"The slave family serves the lord." The two women still wanted to stay an inch, but they were stopped by Sanqi and said:
"No one is allowed to approach without an order from my family." The two women had no choice but to go back to the table and wait.
Silently and comfortably, he didn't go back first, and walked into the lounge on the edge of the flower hall. Inside there was a lamp and a charcoal basin, and an old man surnamed Finch sat inside.
Shen waved his hand, signaled the old man not to get up, then walked over, sat beside him, and said with an apologetic smile: "Let the Mongols stir up, and they didn't come to visit, so I can only talk to you here." Also please Haihan. "Valet with." Cui Lao laughed! "You can take the time to get rid of the old man."
At this time, Sanchi came in to serve tea. Then he withdrew, closing the door and leaving room for the two to talk.
There was no one else in the house. Cui Lao also doesn't have that old-fashioned appearance, the old fool is pretending to be a foolish person, talking about things with smart people, it's better not to pretend. He smiled and said, "Wang Xuefu and Zhang Ziwei, the evaluation of adults." Out of the strange height, I said that the adults were destined to be the top ten ministers in the history of the Ming Dynasty. "Xuefu is Wang Chonggu's character, and Ziwei is Zhang Siwei's character.
That's too high. Shen Mo picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "The two brothers just happened to work with me, so they just said a few good words." ”
"Hehe, you don't believe their words" Cui Lao shook his head and said: "But Yang Yupo's words, you should believe it." "Yu Po is Yang Bo's number, Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu are sons and daughters, Zhang Siwei is Wang Chonggu's nephew, and Cui Xiushan, surnamed Cui, is Yang Bo's cousin, although this is only the tip of the iceberg of the Jin Party, but it can fully explain how these old West use various kinship relationships to establish an unbreakable political group, although it is not as rapid and powerful as other friends, but it is better to have a strong relationship and tacit understanding. Like the Jin merchants of Xuanda, they take the conservative route of "not showing the mountains and not dewing, and listening to the thunder in a silent place."
Shen Mo was able to connect with these people or rely on Xu Jie's contact, he wrote a letter directly to Yang Bo, to the effect that if you are still a turtle with a shrunken head, this time your disciples and grandchildren will have to follow Yang Shun to suffer" Yang Shun judged the situation and wrote a letter to Beixiu Mountain in Xuanfu and asked him to cooperate with Shen Mo.
If there is no cooperation from the Jin Party, it would be impossible for Shen Mo to take down Yang Lu and the others so smoothly, and force Zhou Tu Erqin away so strongly. But all of this is a secret conspiracy, and nothing can be seen on the surface, because Shen Mo has no cooperation with the Jin Party, and there have even been conflicts.
Only to know the inside story. Only those who know the Jin Party understand that although these old westerners have always been low-key, they are hiding needles in the cotton, and this time only the cotton has no needles, which is the greatest cooperation with silence.
The burning charcoal made a slight sound, and he said softly in silence: "Yang Gong is okay?" Xu Jie told him that Yang Bo, who he had never seen before, was the core, soul, and commander of the Jin Party, and he had to be treated carefully.
Cui Xiushan nodded and smiled, "Don't look at him, he will be sixty years old next year, but he can still open a three-stone hard bow and a hundred catties of iron lance, and the physical strength of a young man is good." ”
Shen Mo knew that he was paving the way for the rest of the words, so he took the first step and asked, "Yang Gong is about to take it, right?" ”
"Hehe, I'm tired of worrying about adults." Cui Xiushan said: "By February next year, not counting the leap month, it will also be twenty-seven months." ”
"So, it's here in the blink of an eye." Shen Mo muttered softly.
"yes." Cui Xiushan saw that he was speechless, so he had to pretend to joke: "When the time comes, I will have to help the adults and say a few good words at the high hall." On the days when he was silently out of Beijing, Feng Tianyu was impeached and stepped down because of "vulgarity", but Jiajing did not return the position of Dazai to them as the Yan Party wished, but he did not give it to Xu Jie's people, but directly raised Gao Gong. Let him serve as the left servant of the ministry and sign the secretary. The agency is a temporary agent, which does not need to be pushed by the court, as for how long the agent lasts. It depends on Jiajing's mood. Clear-eyed people can see that the emperor is iron-hearted, and he will not let the two parties snatch the position of the secretary of the ministry anymore, and they all say that they let Gao Gong take advantage of it.
"Hehe" said with a silent smile: "Cui Lao said that he laughed, like Yang Gong, a minister who is in the emperor's heart, and now it is the time for the court to employ people, it is estimated that the emperor has already waited for a long time." ”
"Where is it" Cui Xiushan pondered for a moment, and simply said: "I heard that the emperor has already discussed the arrangements for him with Xu Gelao?" ”
It seems that I heard that it is either the governor of the three sides or the secretary of the military department. Shen Mo smiled and said, "Elder Ge also asked me to ask Yang Gong what he meant." ”
"His meaning is clear." Cui Xiushan said bluntly: "As the governor of the three sides, don't dare to go to the secretary of the military department." "Daming originally had nine border towns, and then set up two towns, a total of eleven towns. Each of the eleven towns has a governor, and there are three governors above the governor, which are the governor of the northwest three sides, the governor of Jiliao in the northeast, and the governor of Xuanda here. These three border governors hold the military and political power of the border towns and jointly guard the long border line of the Ming Dynasty.
The governor of Xuanda is in charge of Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi Province, these three places are simply the nest of Shanxi people, so naturally they can't let an old Xi'er be the leader, otherwise will they listen to Beijing or Taiyuan? Moreover, with Yang Bo's understanding of Jiajing's temper, even if he was made the governor of Xuanda, he would not do it, "What a terrible thing it should be to be remembered by the emperor all day long." ”… One by one......
