201 The Plague of Innocence

Chen Dao said that he had the beginning, and the words behind him were no longer hidden. He talked to Su Hao endlessly, and Su Hao only felt dumbfounded, and deeply understood what Chen Dao said that he had indeed suffered an unwarranted disaster.

It turned out that Su Hao invented the contour map, and the Ministry of War attached great importance to it, and already had the idea of promoting Su Hao to reuse it. Later, Su Hao led the survey battalion to go deep into Banzhou, drew a military map of Banzhou, and also flooded the Qixingshan military tun and eliminated Yang Yinglong's 5,000 elite soldiers.

Before Wanli Shengxuan Su Hao entered Beijing, the Ministry of War also had a motion to summon Su Hao to Beijing, and the unanimous opinion was to appoint Su Hao as a military attache with no less than five grades, who was specially responsible for training surveying and mapping personnel to complete the mapping work of various military important places across the country. However, when the Ministry of War was discussing when to summon Su Hao into Beijing, the eunuch Li Long took the lead and asked Wanli to give Su Hao a holy decree to enter Beijing.

Under normal circumstances, if the Ministry of War wants to reward and reuse a person, and this person is favored by the emperor, this is a very ideal situation. This means that the Ministry of War can successfully pass the merit for this person in the emperor's place, which saves a lot of trouble.

This time, however, the opposite is true. From the beginning of the year, Shen Shixing, the first assistant of the cabinet, launched a campaign to force Wanli to make the crown prince, and Wanli and the courtiers fell into a protracted cold war. During this period, the courtiers tried all means to make Wanli submit, and one of the most important ones was to reject all of Wanli's proposals. To put it simply. is what Wanli wants to do, and the courtiers will oppose it. Contrarily. Wanli didn't want to do anything, and the courtiers tried their best to promote something.

In this case, Su Hao entered Beijing by Wanli's holy decree, and everyone knows that Su Hao was recommended by Li Long, a popular eunuch in Wanli's eyes, with the label of "eunuch". For such a person, of course, the courtiers would not want to see him reused, so. Wanli failed to summon Su Hao for a long time, and the military department also suppressed the official document that was ready to promote Su Hao, pretending that this had not happened.

In fact, Wang Shangshu also knows that he is not a eunuch in the party. However, Wang Shangshu also has to take care of the overall situation, and he can't lose a big one because of a small one. Chen Dao explained to Su Hao.

"Keeping the big picture in mind?" Su Hao really sneered this time. "Put a talent who is obviously useful to the country into the cold palace and not reuse, just to gamble with the emperor, this is what you call taking care of the overall situation?"

In fact, Chen Dao's words were quite hurtful, and he said that the military department should not lose a big one because of a small one. It means that Su Hao's future is just a trivial matter in the eyes of the Ministry of War, and it cannot be compared with such a major event as "Guoben". However, he didn't think that whether to use Su Hao or not was not just a matter for Su Hao himself. Rather, it is a major matter involving national security. The ancients still knew that the virtuous did not avoid relatives and enemies, and these important ministers in the Ming Dynasty. Don't you even understand such a truth?

Also, if he hides Su Haoxue, will he be able to force Wanli to make concessions on the issue of national capital? This is inevitably too much of Su Hao's status. In the final analysis, snubbing Su Hao was just a gesture made by the Ministry of War to other courtiers, and the symbolic meaning was far greater than the substantive meaning.

Chen Dao said embarrassedly: "There is some truth in what you said. However, now there is a tacit understanding in the entire court to put some pressure on the emperor. Lord Shen takes good care of the military department on weekdays, and the military department can't save face at this time. ”

"Brother Chen didn't dare to come to see the younger brother, is this also the reason?" Su Hao asked.

Chen Dao said: "No way, everyone is one, and Chen can't break everyone's rules." In fact, Chen saw every move in the stable, and if he really ran into any trouble, Chen would definitely not stand idly by. As for this weekday entertainment, Chen is not suitable to come forward, please understand this. ”

"I see." Su Hao nodded, his heart full of helplessness.

The Ming Dynasty flourished and declined, and was finally destroyed by a small tribe such as the Jianzhou Jurchen, for many reasons. But among them, the bureaucracy's nonsensical nonsense is an important factor. By the late Ming Dynasty, there were officials in the court who were endlessly creating friction, and there were Donglin Party members among the people who were talking loudly and criticizing all the government's measures. It can't be said that there was no one doing practical things at that time, it can only be said that the scene at that time was one person working, ten people commenting, and the last person who worked couldn't do it, but the people who commented were high-eyed and low-handed, and they didn't want to do anything at all. When a society is pervasive with this kind of atmosphere, collapse is not far away.

The most ridiculous thing is that the courtiers used the affairs of the state as a weight for gambling on the one hand, but on the other hand, they did not refuse to cooperate privately with eunuchs like Li Long. As the courtiers' agents, Dong Tianzhang and Yang Laizhen had a very close relationship with Li Long, and Chen Dao did not dare to come to see Su Hao because of the so-called "tacit understanding" of the courtiers, but Dong and Yang did not hesitate to give Su Hao a house directly.

The affairs of the state can be used for show. His own interests cannot be shaken at all. How many of these courtiers who are full of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are really clean on their butts?

"So, the military department has already treated me as an outcast?" Su Hao asked.

Chen Dao said: "It's not, in fact, Wang Shangshu has been talking to you all the time, saying that such a capable person can't be used by me, it's a pity." According to Chen, Wang Shangshu just wants to avoid the limelight at the moment, and when things are not so sensitive, he will naturally reuse and change them. ”

"So what do I do now?" Su Hao asked.

Chen Daodao: "Although you live here, I heard that you are cooperating with others to open a mine, this matter is very good, but it doesn't hurt to change it." The foolish brother has only one piece of advice, that is, to persuade him to move less with the people in the palace as much as possible, so that if the military department wants to reuse it in the future, there will be fewer obstacles. ”

This advice...... Hehe, forgive the little brother for not being able to obey his fate. Su Hao said with a smile.

Just kidding, the Ministry of War put him aside Su Hao, ignored him, and asked him not to associate with the eunuchs, why did Su Hao listen to the Ministry of War? Su Hao didn't have a good impression of Li Long, but after all, people were showing favor to him, like the white-eyed wolves of the military department, he didn't say anything at all.

Chen Dao was also speechless, he knew that the courtiers' struggle with Wanli this time was far away, and when the military department would be able to use Su Hao, Chen Dao himself couldn't tell. In this case, he asked Su Hao not to associate with Li Long and others, which was equivalent to cutting off Su Hao's future, and it was reasonable for Su Hao to refuse his request.

The two sides were silent for a while, and Chen Dao sighed: "Change, in fact, my brother doesn't know the absurdity of this matter." The soldiers at the border pass are in great need of maps, and the military department should immediately entrust the reform with an important task, so that the reform can bring out ten or 100 teams such as the survey battalion to go to various places to survey and map the map, so as to consolidate our Ming border defense. However, now everyone is misleading the military aircraft for such a thing, and Chen is not happy in his heart.

If there are complaints, the foolish brother can also imagine it. In this way, if there is anything that needs to be done for the brother, just open your mouth, and try to help the brother do it within the scope of his ability. ”

Su Hao said: "This military matter, the younger brother doesn't dare to interfere, you are all important ministers of the court, and you are thinking about such a major event as the country, so the younger brother can't understand it." What the younger brother wants now is to do some small business, earn a little money, and support his family. At the moment, there is indeed a troublesome matter, and I want to ask Brother Chen for help, but I don't know if it is convenient for Brother Chen. ”

Chen Dao said: "What's so difficult to change, although it is said that even if the foolish brother can't help, at least he can come up with some ideas."

"I want to use the channel of the Ministry of War to send a few letters to Fengcheng." Su Hao said.

"Just such a trifle?" Chen Dao was surprised.

Su Hao said: "This is a small matter for Brother Chen, but it is a big deal for the younger brother." I don't know if Brother Chen can help. ”

"Absolutely." Chen Dao said, "There are often messengers in the military department who want to deliver military intelligence and military orders to various places, so instead give the letter to Brother Yu, and Brother Yu will let the messenger who goes to Jiangxi take it to Fengcheng for you." ”

That's what Su Hao can ask Chen Dao to do. According to Chen Dao, the Ministry of War is still operating normally, but when it comes to Su Hao, it can only be stuck. It is said that Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Guizhou, also wrote a letter to Wang Yiyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asking about the placement of Su Hao, but Wang Yiju, as the descendant of the first assistant Shen Shixing, had to set an example, so he could only put Su Hao aside.

Not being able to promote Su Hao doesn't mean that you can't help Su Hao do something. Even if it is to reward Su Hao's merits in Banzhou, it is appropriate to use the military system to send a letter to Su Hao. Chen Dao can make the decision on this matter, and he is fully sure that this matter will not be known by other courtiers.

Chen Dao had dinner in Su Mansion, especially when he poured himself a few large glasses of wine as a sign of apology, and then left with the letters written by Su Hao to Lu Xiu'er, Hao Yizong, Ma Yu and others. He promised that within two or three days, he would arrange for someone to send the letters away, and if it was fast, within six or seven days, the letters would be able to be delivered to Lu Xiuer and others.

Xu Guangzu was also called to accompany Chen Dao to eat together, and after sending Chen Dao away, Su Hao told Xu Guangzu what Chen Dao said again, and Xu Guangzu persuaded: "Change it, don't take this matter to heart." My Da Ming's thing, sometimes that's how it is. When we were fighting at the border passes, it was common for fighters to be delayed because of contradictions between generals, and this was the result of a long period of peace. On the contrary, in that difficult time, everyone was more in the same boat. ”

"How long has it been?" Su Hao sneered, "My Daming is in danger now, these people are still in internal friction, I really want to see how many days Daming can be peaceful." ”

"Let's all obey the destiny of heaven and do our best." Xu Guangzu also said a little depressed. (To be continued.) You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes,
