Chapter 798: Gui Cao Zhang Xuan

The next day, when Hao Qingqing reluctantly came over to call someone, she saw Liu Wu'er leaning on her husband's arms and talking about love, and she let out a burst of laughter from time to time, and her face became even more ugly. Yesterday, Yang Chengzu tore up for a long time, but he actually stayed here with Liu Wu'er at night, and the women in the family must have their own unwillingness and anger. But this kind of anger did not have a suitable excuse to vent, so he had to kick the door heavily, and said angrily: "Someone from Nanjing came to visit my husband, and my wife is already there to deal with it, should I ask them to wait, or will I come back tomorrow?" ”

Yang Chengzu looked at the name on the sticker, "Zhang Fujing, Gui Cao, what are these two guys doing here with me?" They should be officials in Nanjing, really, the battle is not over yet, just come over like this, and they are not afraid of being hacked to death. ”

In any case, these two people stood firmly on Jiajing's side in the previous ritual dispute, and the name Zhang Fujing was given by the Son of Heaven. If he hadn't been waving the flag for the Son of Heaven, he wouldn't have been driven to Nanjing to be the head of the Criminal Department.

Moreover, he is the Jinshi of Jiajing for Zhengde, nominally the last Jinshi of Zhengde, but in fact, in a sense, he is the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven in the real sense. If nothing else, the future prospects are very impressive, Yang Chengzu is a military minister, and it is really difficult to turn away Wenchen's visit.

Liu Wu'er softly urged him to straighten out his clothes and go out to meet guests, and it wasn't until people went out that she smiled at Hao Qingqing, "Sister Hao, I'm an old woman, and I don't pose a threat to you." You're a smart person, you should know what's important, and if you use all your strength to prevent me, you'll be attacked by really powerful characters. I don't even have a name, I can't take anything from you, and I can't take anything from you. ”

Hearing her say this, Hao Qingqing was embarrassed, "You...... What nonsense do you say, are we all that sister, haha, we should get along well, and we are in harmony. I understand the truth, I ...... I'm not jealous. "Turn around and trot, go to the front hall to help.

Zhang and Gui are both middle-aged people in their forties, and they are dignified and dignified. talked and laughed with Guo Jiujie, and looked calm, without feeling that he was being treated coldly, and there was no dissatisfaction. In fact, it was not easy for them to rush over at this time. After all, Nanjing is far away from here, and they must have set off before the end of the war, and they came all the way against the crisis of the southeast war, which was almost a visit that risked their lives, but Yang Chengzu had to admire their courage a little.

After taking their seats, both of them congratulated Yang Chengzu and praised him for his contribution to killing thieves and widows. Gui Cao once served as the magistrate of the county, and he was a bureaucrat who fought from the grassroots level step by step, and he knew the local affairs very well, so he couldn't help nodding and said: "Xiaguan used to be the magistrate of Qingtian County, and when I heard people talk about the Japanese people, they all said that dozens of real Japanese people are enough to tie up hundreds of officials and soldiers. I'm a civilian official, and I don't know anything about military affairs, but I can't understand why a few hundred people can't beat a few dozen people. Today, it seems that it must be a problem of leading officers, if they are all such figures as General Yang, even dozens of officers and soldiers, and hundreds of Japanese people have been killed, why can't the crowd be outnumbered? A juvenile hero, indeed a juvenile hero. ”

Although Zhang Fujing rushed to Nanjing directly from Jinshi, he was a famous minister who could be the first assistant in another time and space, and his theoretical level was very high. Although he is currently limited to his identity and experience, he does not have the ability to govern on a par with Yang Ting and those people, but in his own position, he has indeed collected a lot of information related to the Japanese Invaders, and has also read some military books.

The exchanges between the two sides were very pleasant, and Yang Chengzu could also understand the purpose of their visit. Both of these people are in the dispute over etiquette, and they stand on Jiajing's side clearly, and now they are both targets of attack. The main business of the Nanjing Criminal Department is that there is nothing to do except for the chaos, and in terms of officialdom, it is a cold bench with no future. They have a talent and a strong ambition, so they naturally don't want to die with the grass and trees, and they also want to have their own deeds. But this kind of action, not that you want to do it, you can do it, in addition to talent, more important is the opportunity and the support of nobles.

At their level, they can't get in touch with people from the upper echelons, and besides, if they want to contact the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, they must also have someone willing to take care of them. Yang Chengzu, an upstart, is the golden thigh descended from heaven, and they must hug it tightly. This time, he came at the risk of being a widow, and he had to be regarded as a civil official's wealth and risk.

As a military minister, if you can make friends with the ministers, it is actually a good thing, and the military ministers of the Ming Dynasty generally have fun making friends with civil officials. However, Yang Chengzu's performance is not far or close, and he has never shown too much affection, and the two of them also know in their hearts that if they want to surrender, they must also show the value of surrender. To be a demote, you must also have the capital to demote, otherwise it will not be accepted.

"The lower officials are in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are also two or three old friends, and this time the southeast is in trouble, thanks to Ti Shuai's efforts. This credit, in the eyes of the lower officials, will never allow others to slander loyalty and goodness, and reverse black and white. ”

Gui Cao took out an account book from his sleeve, "When Xia Guan Ren Dantu, Qingtian, Wujin and other places were governors, he deeply felt that the state was insufficient, that is, because it was difficult to collect taxes. It is difficult to collect taxes, and in the final analysis, it is because the gentry encroach on the land. They have taken up too much fertile land, and they have used trickery and sprinkling to pass on their taxes to innocent people. In office, the lower officials presided over the clearing of the fields and clarified the industry, and even if they were impeached for this, they never wavered. Now to Nanjing pension, left and right idle nothing, in Nanzhili around, this account book recorded, is the real number of more than ten counties in Nanzhili. This number was measured by the old man with his subordinates, and Ding Kou also visited by himself, which may not be accurate, but in the end, it is more reliable than the yellow book preserved in Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing. ”

Although Zhang Fujing and Gui Cao are comrades-in-arms in the same trench, this does not mean that they are in step with each other in other areas, such as the issue of clearing the fields. His goal was to keep an eye on the fields of the emperor, the eunuchs, and the nobles, while Gui Cao's gaze was on the gentry. He disagrees with Gui Cao's proposition, and even this thing, he is a little awkward in his heart.

At this time, he would not take the initiative to dismantle his companion's platform, but just changed the topic, "Ti Shuai, before we left, I heard a news. The Xie family sent people to Beijing to find a relationship, to exonerate themselves, his family has some friendship with the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang, and it must be guarded against. ”

"Shangjing? Isn't that normal? Xie Weng is a royal relative, and if something happens, it is normal for people to find their relatives to come forward. I believe that the reign of the Son of Heaven today will be righteous and will destroy his relatives! It will not be tolerated because of the relationship between relatives. I can't control the affairs of Jingshi, so I can only act according to orders. But in the southeast, I think we can still do something. Since the second duke is a criminal causal, he must be familiar with the criminal name code, just to help me try these pirates and some traitors who colluded with pirates, I don't know if the second duke is willing to help me? ”
