Chapter Seventy-Seven: Wanting to Be a Marquis
"Today's dishes are also ordinary, but they are all my hometown dishes, there are Longjing shrimp and West Lake vinegar fish, these two flavors of shrimp are acceptable, vinegar fish is actually usual, but the name is very big, if you don't take it out and invite you, I'm afraid that you will say that I am hiding my privacy, so I have to ask the kitchen to make a taste casually, good or not, will use it." However, the wine is the best southern wine, and the serious daughter from Shaoxing is red. ”
Mao Wenlong and Han Xu haven't changed their posts yet, but they are already very affectionate in their names and speak very casually, but He Shixian has officially changed his posts with him after Han Xu's official visit to the governor, and the two are already commensurate with brothers.
With the introduction of Mao Wenlong, the family also served the dishes one by one, Longjing shrimp is an authentic Hangzhou famous dish, with fragrant Longjing tea and shrimp together in the pot, before using chopsticks already feel fragrant, the fish is also very tender, with vinegar poured on it, smooth and delicious, appetizing, Han Xu said that he has eaten, in fact, just nervous, how can there be kung fu to eat, this time the appetite is open, the chopsticks do not stop, the wine is also drunk, Mao Wenlong saw him like this, he was very happy, between the guest and the host, he felt very compatible.
"There's been a lot of bad news in the city lately, brother, I don't think you don't know, right?"
After the meal was over, the wine of the two of them also had seven points, and Mao Wenlong did not hide it, and asked bluntly.
"Of course I know." Han Xu didn't have to pretend to be stupid in front of such a person, smiled slightly, and said, "Lord Jingluo has already mentioned it, I'm really ashamed, the junior brother has already dealt with this matter." ”
Of course, there is no need to talk about the details, and Han Xu believes that Mao Wenlong will not ask more. Some things are not good out of scope.
"This matter also has something to do with the generals of Liaoxi." Mao Wenlong is also very well-informed, and there is a faint trend against Xiong Tingbi and Han Xu in the city, so he naturally knows it. Hearing that Han Xu had already resolved the matter, Mao Wenlong showed a look of relief on his face, and said to Han Xu again: "The root is aimed at Lord Jinglue, and I just want to use you as an introduction, you have cleaned the tail, and there is no reason." They'll also target the strategy, but it's much less useful to you. Brother, we are martial artists, don't fall too deep into the dirty deeds of those civil officials above. ”
"Brother Mao means that after passing through that level of things, the younger brother should not mix. What is the most important thing to protect yourself? ”
Han Xu's mind was smart, and he immediately heard Mao Wenlong's deep meaning.
Mao Wenlong nodded, and said in a deep tone: "Don't hide it from my brother, I was able to start a family, and it was because of people, and many people at this level know it." There is no need to deceive anything. But from my heart, these civil officials only use our generation of warriors as tools in the bottom of their hearts, and they can use them if they are suitable, and they will abandon them if they are not suitable. I've never met anyone who understands, even if it's Xiong Jingluo? Can he really be your protégé and nephew of Han Xuru? Wrong, even if you only have a talent and fame, Jinglu will also use you as a real junior to cultivate, on the contrary, that is, you should be used to use you, in case something happens, he will not hesitate to throw you out. If you don't understand this layer, you are likely to suffer in this matter in the future! ”
Mao Wenlong called Han Xu today, it seems that he does have something to say in his heart, his tone is gloomy and deep, this Hangzhou man has traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong to attack the martial arts, and he has been in the martial arts examination for more than 20 years to reach the position of the governor. Although the official career has been smooth here, you can go up to the guerrillas, and even the generals, and the deputy generals. General soldiers, but this kind of uneven depression in the heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dissolve in this life, this kind of depression, is more than 20 years of military career constantly by civilian officials excluded, suppressed, despised and caused, this kind of thing, for those who don't know a big word, they think that martial artists should be vulgar, and they should be controlled by civilian officials are nothing, but for Mao Wenlong, a military general who has also passed by his own literary style and is arrogant, this is the shame of his life that cannot be resolved!
Because of this kind of shame and anger, Mao Wenlong in front of him is already a little extreme, he is contemptuous and resistant to any civil official, and the same is true for those who are as strong as Xiong Tingbi, even if he is respectful and obedient on the surface, the hostility in his heart is difficult to dissolve.
In other words, if Han Xu in front of him is not a pure military general, but a civil official, even if he rushes to talk to Mao Wenlong, I am afraid that it is impossible to hear what he said in front of him.
Han Xu said: "Brother Mao, if my generation doesn't want to be humiliated, the only way to do it is to be a marquis." ”
Han Xu did not fully agree with some of Mao Wenlong's views, but Han Xu also felt the unreasonable oppression inflicted on military generals by civilian officials.
Take these things in front of him, if he is a third-grade civil official, what will he have to worry about? Even if the bullet is at the top, it is great to resign and go home to enjoy happiness, and there will definitely be no worries about life, but what is the three-grade martial arts in front of you? As soon as people impeach and ask for guilt, if there is no Xiong Tingbi's support, a soldier can behead himself without asking for a decree, and there will be no great consequences afterwards.
Of course, there is also a source for the military attaché, that is, knighthood.
Once knighted, the shift will be above all civil officials, the earl is equivalent to the horse captain, but also equivalent to the civil official product, but the civil official product is generally only posthumously gifted, it is impossible to want to be crowned the third duke before death, once the military attache is crowned uncle, you are the governor and governor, once you are on it, even if you want to listen to the civil moderation, the etiquette is still the earl has the advantage, and there will never be a worry about life.
If it is a marquis, it is in the product, whether you are a scholar or a governor of Shangshu, after the marquis, you can be ranked above.
Of course, the actual power has to be subdivided, and these rules are also recently in the Jiajing period, the Ming Dynasty still has a group of Hou Bo in his hands, and the military attache will completely stop cooking during the Longqing and Wanli years, Wanli's three major military achievements are a lot, Li Chengliang's Beiyu level change is enough to seal the marquis ten times at the beginning of the country, but in the hands of those civil officials of the Wanli Dynasty was pressed down, and he has never been a marquis, and he has only been sealed an uncle, and he cannot be hereditary, but in essence, Li Chengliang was tacitly allowed to support his family, fornicate trade with the Beiyu, and occupy a large number of military land, These laws, which were strictly forbidden in the past to prevent military generals from becoming too powerful to control, were once again ignored by the civilian officials.
"Fenghou, how difficult it is." Hearing Han Xu's words, Mao Wenlong's eyes first burned with scorching fire, and then the fire dimmed.
"Yes." Han Xu looked at Mao Wenlong and said quietly: "The matter is man-made, now the rise of the East Captives, the situation is very difficult to control, the peace is difficult to expect for a while, for ordinary people, this war is a disaster, for my generation, the opportunity to seal the marquis is in it."
