It's October, and a lot of things have to be arranged.

Su Tiancheng has been in Shaanxi for a month, except for exterminating 100,000 rogues, he has not been able to do anything else, and this situation is also due to the ignorance of the officials below.

Seeing that Li Zicheng became the leader of the Liukou and was elected as the king of Chuang, it was difficult for Su Tiancheng to make any moves, and such a situation must not continue.

He has written three secret folds in a row, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any news, in these three folds, Su Tiancheng put forward all the suggestions, including the candidate for the chief official of Shaanxi Prefecture, and Su Tiancheng also put forward a suggestion, the chief officer of the three divisions of Shaanxi Province, also considered adjustment, and the candidate was decided by the imperial court.

Su Tiancheng explained in detail the reason, why would such a big adjustment be made, this is because the officials at all levels in Shaanxi have a fixed understanding, and it is difficult to improve the relationship between the government and the people in a short period of time, and this situation cannot be continued, and fresh blood must be injected to change the face of Shaanxi officialdom.

According to Su Tiancheng's arrangement before taking office, as long as Su Tiancheng put forward his opinions, officials below the prefect level will directly handle them according to the suggestions he put forward, but this time, the imperial court has not made a will.

Su Tiancheng's heart continued to sink, and he knew that trouble must have arisen, and it was not a small trouble.

After thinking about it again and again, Su Tiancheng wrote the fourth secret letter and asked to enter Beijing.

Although it will take a lot of time to talk about it, there are some things that you can't solve if you don't come forward.

This time, the emperor's will soon came, requiring Su Tiancheng to enter Beijing quickly.

On the eighth day of October, Su Tiancheng entered the capital.

He was eager to see the emperor, but unfortunately this time, he didn't have the opportunity to meet the emperor.

Originally. When the Jiangning battalion entered Shaanxi, it achieved a great victory, and captured Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the Liukou, and the emperor was very happy, and personally set up a banquet to entertain Hong Chengchou and his party for the first time, but he was too happy. After drinking too much wine, it caused physical discomfort, and after the imperial doctor diagnosed, he thought that the emperor needed to recuperate for a period of time, and not to participate in the early dynasty for the time being, and to summon ministers every day was also to be restricted. The emperor was not ready to listen, but unfortunately the queen mother Zhang Yan and the queen mother persuaded the emperor. must obey the orders of the imperial doctor, if it is just the queen's mother's advice, the emperor may not obey, but Zhang Yan spoke, and the emperor is not easy to refute.

Zhang Yan is Zhu Youxiao's wife, and she strongly supports Zhu Youzhen as the emperor, so Zhang Yan's words. Zhu Youzhen still has to listen.

Su Tiancheng felt that his luck was really bad and he couldn't do it in front of the emperor. Explain a lot of things clearly, however, the emperor entrusted Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Sun Chengzong, the second assistant of the cabinet, to listen to his explanation.

After entering the Forbidden City, under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Su Tiancheng came to the Taiji Hall.

Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong are already waiting here.

All pleasantries are unnecessary. There are not so many etiquettes, Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong are on behalf of the emperor, and the focus is also on Su Tiancheng to answer questions, of course, as the emperor's representative. The power of the two is very great, and they can directly negate many of Su Tiancheng's proposals.

This is the inevitability of the rule of man, all the power that Su Tiancheng has is given by the emperor, no matter what he said before, in the end, he still has to listen to the emperor's arrangement and arrangement.

As soon as Su Tiancheng sat down, Wen Tiren opened his mouth to ask.

"Lord Su, on behalf of the emperor, this official and Lord Sun will ask you some questions, these questions need to be answered truthfully, and you must not hide them in the slightest."

"The lower official must answer truthfully."

Wen Tiren looked at Sun Chengzong.

"Lord Sun, then I will ask questions first, if there is anything that is not asked, please add it."

Sun Chengzong nodded and did not speak. In fact, Sun Chengzong's qualifications are much stronger than Wen Tiren, but Wen Tiren is the first assistant of the cabinet after all, and he has been in the cabinet for many years, and his qualifications are not ordinary.

"The first question is whether the Jiangning Battalion can exterminate the rogues within half a year."

"If you go back to adulthood, you can't do it."

"What's the problem, or what's the difficulty?"

"The situation in Shaanxi is special, many years of conquest and turmoil, the people's lives are extremely difficult, because of some special reasons, the people are in support of the Liukou, the grass needs to be eradicated, if the surface of the Liukou is exterminated, it will not take much time, another Liukou will still appear, besides, the Jiangning camp has just arrived in Shaanxi, there is no foundation, as for the extermination of 100,000 Liukou, Gao Yingxiang was captured, it was Li Yichuan and Liu Guineng who returned to the imperial court, Jiangning Camp learned the news in advance, and was prepared, so it was able to achieve such a victory, if you directly fight the rogue, it is difficult to replicate this victory. ”

"Zhilu said, the second question, the most important thing in Shaanxi now, is to exterminate the Liukou, the Liukou has been ravaging for many years, and has become a major problem for the imperial court, the emperor has always looked forward to Jiangning Ying being able to make contributions, for what do you know, first of all, we must solve the problem of people's livelihood, is there a contradiction between the two to solve the problem of people's livelihood, and to exterminate the Liukou on the other?"

Su Tiancheng paused for a moment, this question is a little interesting.

"Back to my lord, it is possible to take both into account, but it takes a certain amount of time, the current situation in Shaanxi Province, Xia Guan with an inappropriate description, just like a dying patient, on the one hand is riddled with disease, on the other hand is hungry and cold, about to starve to death, the first thing Xia Guan needs to do is to let the patient eat enough, not let the patient starve to death, and then consider the matter of curing the disease, when the time is ripe, while curing the disease, while strengthening nutrition, it will soon get better, this reason, with the problems faced by Shaanxi Province, is a truth, the lower officials first need to solve the problems of people's livelihood and stabilize the overall situation, so that they can free up their hands and concentrate on exterminating the rogue. ”

"How long will this take?"

"One year at least, two years at most."

"The third question, the imperial court through the imperial examination, gathered a large number of talents, if Shaanxi Province needs to adjust the officials, looking forward to creating a new wind of officialdom, you can draw capable officials from all over the country, you must know that the imperial examination is the custom of the ancestors, what do you think of using the people around you, most of these people have not passed the imperial examination, can it be said that the talents selected by the imperial court through the imperial examination are not as good as the people around Su Daren."

Su Tiancheng's face had no expression.

"Back to my lord, this matter, Xia Guan has carefully considered, Xia Guan has always believed that talent is multifaceted, if Shaanxi wants to think about development, want to change the previous situation, must be eclectic use of talents, Xia Guan put forward many candidates, there are indeed many people, did not pass the imperial examination, not a Jinshi Ju people, but they have real talent and learning, when Xia Guan was in Henan Mansion, relying on these officials, in a short period of time, can make Henan Mansion change the situation, Shaanxi Province, There are many similarities with Henan Prefecture, and the situation is even worse, the lower officials need people with practical experience to serve as the chief officials of Fuzhou County, so many officials who have not passed the imperial examination are recommended. ”

"Are there any other reasons, such as using the people around you for something?"

Su Tiancheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Xiaguan told the truth, use the people around him, or even use henchmen, this is also necessary, the situation in Shaanxi is different, we must ensure the unity of government decrees, and never allow the situation of yang and yin violations, otherwise it will be difficult to change the status quo in a short period of time, it is precisely because of this, so the lower officials recommend the people around them, these people have followed the lower officials for many years, they are familiar with each other, and they also know the style of the lower officials, many times, we are familiar with each other, know what needs to be done, if you can use these officials, there are many things under the officials, it's better to do more. ”

"Didn't Master Su think that such a move would cause some gossip, and even attract some unnecessary suspicions, to the impeachment of many officials in this court."

"Xiaguan has thought about these things, but since Xiaguan has arrived in Shaanxi, everything needs to start from the actual situation in Shaanxi, everything is for Shaanxi, if in the process of doing things, there are too many thoughts, there are countless scruples, then it is impossible to do things, Xiaguan has to add, when Xiaguan decided to go to Shaanxi, he was in the mood of hard work, and he would not care about many discussions and evaluations, Xiaguan secretly swore that all the words, wait until three years later, and then see how the situation is, Xiaguan is not even ready to defend."

Wen Tiren frowned slightly, but a smile appeared on Sun Chengzong's face.

The problem continued, and Su Tiancheng's mood calmed down a lot.

Although there are many problems, it is still very acute, but he has already said what he thinks in his heart, there is almost no reservation, in the capital, it is really complicated, and some people are even ready to label him as a rebel, this is really a big joke, if he Su Tiancheng wants to rebel, he will spare no effort to exterminate the Liukou, to annihilate the Tartars, as long as he does nothing, waiting for the rise of the Liukou and the Tartars, all the problems are solved.

There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, this kind of situation has always existed, and Su Tiancheng has to be careful.

Fortunately, the current situation has changed, in the cabinet, Sun Chengzong has become Su Tiancheng's biggest support, judging from the current situation, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou are also very likely to enter the cabinet in the near future, at that time, Su Tiancheng's life will be even better.

The questioning lasted for an hour and a half.

After the inquiry, Wen Tiren's face finally showed a smile, what was contained in this smile, Su Tiancheng was not very clear, but he knew very well that he could not fall out openly with Wen Tiren, he had become the governor of Shaanxi Province, which aroused Wen Tiren's great attention, Wen Tiren's thoughts were definitely different from before, the prefect and the prefect were nothing in Wen Tiren's eyes, but the governor was a feudal official, and Wen Tiren must attach great importance to it.

However, between himself and Wen Tiren, many ideas are inconsistent, and a person who travels through must have a long-term vision than people in ancient times.

At this time, the contradictions that are going to erupt will definitely come out. (To be continued......)
