Chapter 410: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner and Ransom
Tang Yi originally wanted to invite Hu Zongxian to come over and support himself on the scene, but he didn't enjoy the benefits, he first had to treat the governor's heart disease, don't talk about Tang Yi's depression.
But you can't ignore it, who made Hu Zongxian powerful in his hands, and he couldn't do without his help to open the sea!
In fact, the cause of Hu Zongxian's illness is also very simple, before serving as the governor, Hu Zongxian only worked as a patrol and a magistrate, and had no connections in the capital, others classified him as the Yan Party, in fact, he was only closely connected with Zhao Wenhua, as for the rest of the Yan Party, many were jealous of Hu Zongxian's status and wanted to snatch the governor's throne.
As soon as Zhao Wenhua died, there was no accurate signal on the Yan Dang's side, Qingliu sharpened his knife again, and Hu Zongxian naturally felt that his position was unstable. It's pitiful to say, his connections in the capital are not even as good as Tang Yi's, and so far, he is only temporarily cramming.
The predicament in Hu Zongxian's eyes, in Tang Yi's view, is unfounded, this Governor Hu has not seen his status clearly, just click it.
"Brother Merlin, let me say something presumptuous, you shouldn't get close to the Yan Party."
Hu Zongxian shrank his pupils, shook his head and sighed, "Okay, Zhao Wenhua was in the middle of the day at that time, and I really couldn't ...... it."
"Not that time, I mean now."
"Now?" Hu Zongxian didn't know why.
Tang Yi smiled: "Brother Merlin, do you say that the current Yan Party is stronger or weaker than it was two years ago?" ”
Hu Zongxian smiled heartily, "Although I don't know much, but now the six departments and nine kings are all Yan Ge Lao's people, so they are naturally stronger." ”
"No, no, no." Tang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Merlin, when Li Mo was there, the court was three-legged, and the chaos was unknown. Yan Song's father and son, with their understanding of His Majesty, are invincible in the officialdom. But as soon as Li Mo died, the Yan Party offended Lu Bing to death, and he would not help them harm people anymore. In addition, Xu Ge Lao became the only candidate who could replace Yan Song. His Majesty must protect Elder Xu Ge. There are only two factions in the court, black and white, everything is easy to get involved in party disputes, and the Yan family father and son want to fish in troubled waters and harm people with tricks, which is countless times more difficult. ”
How smart Hu Zongxian is, Tang Yi pierced the window paper, and he understood it at once.
"I can still see it clearly, so saying that Yan Dang is actually superficial. Tough on the inside? ”
"It can't be said that it is difficult, at least there are signs of prosperity and decline. Brother Merlin is in charge of the military power in the southeast, and he is the first feudal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Yan Party wants to stabilize its power, it must stabilize the place, and they will take the initiative to find them without Brother Merlin going to them, and they will take the initiative to find the door, the difference. Brother Merlin wouldn't be uninspired. ”
Hu Zongxian nodded hurriedly, as the saying goes, getting on the pole is not a business. Strict party seeking oneself and oneself seeking strict party are obviously two grades.
"Okay, I still have a question, if I am alienated from the Yan Party, Qingliu will attack me. Will the Yan Party go with the flow and replace it with someone they can trust? ”
"It used to be, but not anymore."
Hu Zongxian was puzzled, Tang Yi said angrily: "Thank you Zhu Kun, Zhang Jing, Zhou Xuan, and Yang Yi, their bloodshed has made Your Majesty understand one thing." ”
Hu Zongxian's pupils instantly shrank into a gleam. He let out a long breath and sighed: "Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants! ”
"That's right, since the thirty-second year of Jiajing, the officials in the southeast have been like horses, and it's nothing to say that they are all rice buckets, but before any of them took office, they all had an excellent reputation and were expected by everyone. As a result, when he took office, not only could he not pacify the Japanese invaders, but he also put himself in it. Once or twice, Your Majesty may not doubt it, but again and again, how can Your Majesty not understand? Behind the light song and dance in the southeast, there is a hideous black hand, and all the officials they don't like will be killed in a daze, and they are the real underground emperors. Tang Yi smiled and said, "Brother Merlin, you said that Your Majesty has this impression, what will be the situation?" ”
Hu Zongxian grinned, and suddenly smiled with a realized smile: "No wonder the elder brother dares to attack the seven surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang, it seems that the elder brother is planning and then acting, the elder brother really admires it." ”
Since stepping into the officialdom, Tang Yi has felt more and more that being an official in the Jiajing Dynasty is useless for what is used in the world, what is the eight articles, and what is the strategy of Wen Taowu, and the most important knowledge is psychology.
Only by understanding Jiajing's mind thoroughly, even if he makes many mistakes, he can sit back and relax.
Take Zhu Kun and these people as an example, Jiajing thinks that he has given power and trust, but as a result, you can't even calm down the little widows, you must be ungrateful and unjust, and you deserve to kill you. At this time, the surnames of Fujian and Zhejiang are in the back, and there is an opportunity.
However, after many lessons, Jiajing finally understood that it was not that the courtiers did not work hard, but that the water in the southeast was too deep, and there was a terrible force hidden in the undercurrent. At this time, the surname of Fujian and Zhejiang instigated people to write a book and attack Tang Yi, which will only cause Jiajing's jealousy and suspicion in the end, and you still want to repeat the old tricks and abolish the candidates I value, which is simply wishful thinking, Tang Yi said that the more impeachment, the safer he is.
Of course, Tang Yi must also show his skills and means, to put it bluntly, let Jiajing see the results and see the silver! As long as Jiajing's belly is filled, even if Tang Yi tosses the sky, what can a mere government do!
In fact, Hu Zongxian's situation is better than Tang Yi's, he doesn't need to help Jiajing get money, as long as he can stabilize the overall situation in the southeast, Jiajing will believe him and use him, with Jiajing's support, he will be as stable as Mount Tai.
"Yan Dang, Xu Dang, the families of the southeast, the maritime merchants of Fujian and Zhejiang, the soldiers, the guest soldiers, the Japanese Kou, the open sea, all entangled together, except for you Hu Ruzhen, who else is qualified to sit on the throne of the governor, Your Majesty knows best."
Dare to love me so important, Hu Zongxian was a little fluttering, but he only floated halfway through and returned to the ground.
"Yes, it's easy to say, but who can say for sure, does Your Majesty see me like this?" Hu Zongxian eagerly grabbed Tang Yi's wrist and said impatiently: "Okay, do you know the news?" ”
"I don't know." Tang Yi replied very simply, "I said Brother Merlin, you can't expect Your Majesty to notice you, and you still work hard to give Your Majesty a peaceful strategy." ”
Hu Zongxian said in his heart that Tang Yi is young in the end, and there are still fewer people who have been on the Ping Wai Policy over the years, but how to eliminate the Japanese Kou, he is not even sure about himself, how can he say that he will move Jiajing, do you still want to bully the king?
"Brother Merlin, there's a godsend right now." Tang Yi approached and said with a smile: "After the sea is opened, merchant ships must pass through the sea area controlled by Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, hasn't he always asked the imperial court to open the sea ban and allow tribute trade all these years, and now that the imperial court has done it, does he still want to continue to claim hegemony overseas?" ”
When Hu Zongxian heard this, his eyes finally lit up, and the bitter gourd's face smiled, and he couldn't stop patting Tang Yi's shoulder with his big hand.
"I am a great talent, I finally understand, I want to suppress and appease at the same time, and strive to recruit Wang Zhizhao, and the Japanese will naturally be eliminated." Hu Zongxian rubbed his hands excitedly, he wanted to go back to Hangzhou immediately, select people, and contact Wang Zhi, it was best to fool the old shipowner ashore, and at that point, his position in Jiajing's heart would be completely stabilized, and no one could bring him down.
Tang Yi, this kid is really powerful, and with a few words, he solved his predicament. Hu Zongxian sighed, hurriedly said goodbye and returned, and when he led the men and horses, left Quanzhou, and walked on the road, as soon as the cold wind blew on his head, Hu Zongxian woke up suddenly!
"Oops, I was fooled!"
Only then did he understand that Tang Yi's idea was not for him Hu Zongxian at all, but for Tang Yi's great cause of opening the sea, and if he did not reach an understanding with Wang Zhi, it would be difficult for merchant ships to go to sea, and opening up sea trade was just empty talk.
But what about Tang Yi, he had just arrived in the southeast, and there was nothing he could do about Wang Zhi, so he had to fool Hu Zongxian to help him and let him settle Wang Zhi.
Tang Yi made it clear that he used the governor as a gunman, but the problem was to recruit Wang Zhi, which was also incomparable for Hu Zongxian. After all, the Japanese are scattered and entrenched in the sea, if they are really killed a little bit, if they can get the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey, if they can trick Wang Zhi to the shore, pinch it in his hands, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the great cause of resisting the Japanese will be half successful, can Hu Zongxian not do it?
What is Yangmou, this is!
Even if you know that you are being used as a gun, you can only rush forward with all your might. Hu Zongxian stared at him for a while, but he just sighed and honestly contacted Wang Zhi.
If Tang Yi wants to curry favor with Jiajing, he has to get the silver, of course, he will not give out this silver, and in his hands, isn't there a large group of fat sheep.
Since Li Xiping and others were locked up, Tang Yi did not rush to ask for money, but put it on hold for three days, without eating, drinking, or giving bedding, and he could freeze people to death at night.
These people are all pampered and used to being pampered, where have they suffered this kind of grievance, what makes them wonder the most is that Tang Yi locked them here, it is impossible for the family not to know, why not mobilize manpower to rescue the big guy, do you let Tang Yi come here?
Just when they were puzzled, there was a sudden boom outside.
Li Xiping was frightened, "Tang Yi did it?" ”
Many half-asleep people suddenly widened their eyes, and after listening for a while, they realized that it was a child setting off firecrackers, not a gun.
"Oh, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, how nice it would be if there was a plate of lamb stuffed dumplings!" There was one who lamented, and several stomachs around screamed.
Soon the whole house was like a pond in spring, gurgling, and everyone's stomach learned to call a frog. Scratching his heart and liver, he covered his shriveled stomach with his hands and lay on the ground, trying to resist the invasion of stomach acid wave after wave.
Seeing that in the afternoon, there was finally a sound of footsteps, Yang Wenyu raised his nose and sniffed, and immediately frowned, the room was stinky and smelly, it was all the smell of feces and urine, this living room was useless, he looked at the soldiers guarding the door, "Hey, you didn't give a toilet?" ”
"Your Excellency has an order, don't give them anything!" The soldier replied loudly.
Yang Wenyu nodded, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it doesn't matter, the wool is out of the sheep." ”
Standing at the window, Yang Wenyu cleared his throat and roared loudly: "Listen to those who can still breathe inside, adults are merciful, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you can let you go home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone only needs 50,000 taels of silver, don't miss the opportunity!"
