Chapter 651: Guyuan Conference [1]
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
He Qi knew that Xu Liang could say this to his face, and it was obvious that the contradiction between him and the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou was already very deep. He Qi weighed the strength between Xu Liang and Hong Chengchou a little in his heart, although it seemed that the official position of the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou was higher than Xu Liang, but in the past year, the welfare silver taels distributed by Xu Liang to the officials below were more than a little bit higher than that of the court. But all the Shaanxi officials who did not deal with Xu Liang basically did not end well. For example, Qian Yongtai, the former political envoy of Shaanxi, relied on the support of Yang He, the former governor of the three sides, and did not take Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, in his eyes, and confronted Xu Liang several times, secretly making small moves, and as a result, in a riot, he was killed all over the house!
He Qi was stunned, and immediately said to Xu Liang: "Although the governor can rest assured, the lower officials know the severity, and after the lower officials arrive, they will definitely look forward to the governor." β
Xu Liang was very happy that He Qi could stand by his side so clearly, and patted He Qi's shoulder cordially, saying, "He Qi can have such an awareness, the official is very pleased. It's getting late today, so you can stay at the governor's yamen for one night, and after returning to Zhenyuan tomorrow, you can wait for the approval of the transfer of the officials with peace of mind. β
He Qi respectfully said yes, and went to the wing room to rest under the guidance of a Tsing Yi guard.
Xu Liang returned to the study and sat for a while, and Wang Qinian, a political officer in Shaanxi, walked in, presented Xu Liang with both hands a prepared note, and said, "My lord." Xiang Ting's suggestion to promote Cao Bianjiao and He Qi has been prepared by his subordinates. Please take a look at it. β
Xu Liang looked at the fold in Wang Qinian's hand, but did not take it. waved his hand and said, "I won't watch it." Tonight, you will arrange for someone to deliver it. β
Wang Qinian listened, he knew that Xu Liang's calligraphy with a brush was really sorry for the audience, since Wang Qinian arrived in Shaanxi, almost all the documents were written by Wang Qinian, Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, at best, would only take it over and look at it once.
Wang Qinian put away the folds, and then said to Xu Liang suspiciously: "Lord, today is the twenty-second day of the lunar month, as far as his subordinates know. The yamen of the Beijing division began to close on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. Our recital will be sent out at this time, and I am afraid that we will have to leave it for the New Year. β
Xu Liang smiled slightly and said: "The reason why this official is so anxious to settle the matter of Cao Bianjiao and He Qi is to let the officials send out the approval document before the closing of the yamen of the Beijing Division. In this way, even after the Chinese New Year, Governor Hong reacted, and by then the wood had been completed, and Governor Hong had no skills to return to the sky. β
Wang Qinian said worriedly: "The lord's meaning is understood. It's just that the subordinates are worried that even if it is delivered a year ago, the efficiency of the ministry. I'm afraid that it will have to be delayed until after the Chinese New Year. β
Xu Liang chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about this new year. The appointments of Cao Bianjiao and He Qi are both petty officials below the fourth rank, and they can't enter the eyes of the cabinet. Coupled with Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, this official has always been respectful. It seems that with such an appointment of officials below the fourth grade, I think the two Shangshu lords will give me this face. β
Wang Qinian listened and was slightly relieved. So he went out to arrange for the delivery of the fold.
Xu Liang quietly did these things, in Guyuan City. The governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, was unaware of it, and still followed Hong Chengchou's own methods. Little by little, he wanted to establish his prestige in the officialdom of the Northwest.
On the 24th day of the fourth lunar month of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, in the name of the trilateral governor's office, sent an invitation to the high-ranking officials of the western government, inviting the high-ranking officials above the fourth rank in the northwest to attend the meeting at the Guyuan trilateral governor's palace on the 28th of the month.
After Xu Liang received the invitation, he specially asked Tsing Yiwei to pay attention to the list of invited officials. To Xu Liang's surprise, Cao Bianjiao, the nephew of Cao Wenzhao, the deputy chief soldier of Shaanxi, was also invited.
That's very strange! You must know that this meeting can be said to be the meeting with the highest specifications in the northwest, and the officialdom in the northwest is not allowed to participate in the meeting unless the senior officials of the fourth grade or above. Shaanxi Deputy Chief Soldier Cao Wen Zhao is in the third grade, it is reasonable for him to come to the meeting, but what is Cao Bianjiao's identity?
After Wang Qinian got the news, he couldn't help but sigh to Xu Liang: "My lord, the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou's attempt to win over Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew is too obvious!" β
Xu Liang sneered: "The meeting is organized by the Trilateral Governor's Palace, and Governor Hong can invite whoever he wants, we can't control it." β
Xu Liang said it lightly, but some people couldn't sit still.
At Cao Wenzhao's house, Cao Bianjiao learned that he could also participate in the meeting of the Trilateral Governor's Palace, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and happily chose the most decent clothes in the house.
Then Cao Wenzhao walked into Cao Bianjiao's bedroom, watched Cao Bianjiao humming a small tune, picking out clothes in the closet, and couldn't help sighing, calling Cao Bianjiao and said: "Bianjiao, you stop first, my uncle has something to say." β
Cao Bianjiao stopped, turned to look at Cao Wenzhao, and said, "What does my uncle command?" β
Cao Wenzhao had a trace of unbearable meaning in his eyes, thought about it, or sighed, and said: "Change Jiao, this Guyuan Conference, my uncle has inquired, and the invited are all officials above the fourth grade in the northwest. And you are the only one who has no official position, but is among the invitees. What does that mean, you know? β
Cao Bianjiao listened, his face was filled with a smile of surprise, and he said, "Uncle, don't you understand this?" It shows that the heroic reputation of his nephew has reached the ears of the Governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, and Governor Hong specially invited his nephew to participate in such an important meeting, obviously he attaches great importance to his nephew. β
Cao Wenzhao sighed lightly and said, "Although the words are good, it's better not to go to this conference." β
When Cao Bianjiao heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly screamed, "Why? β
Cao Wenzhao sat down at the small table on the side, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and after taking a sip, he asked in a deep voice: "Change Jiao, things in the court are not as simple as imagined. Let me ask you, in your opinion, what is the relationship between the governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, and the governor of Shaanxi, Lord Xu? β
Cao Bianjiao listened, thought for a while, and then hesitated and said: "Judging from Chongzhen's four years of combat against the people's army. The officers and soldiers of Shaanxi did not receive the instructions of the governor, and would rather stand by and watch than send troops to support Governor Hong! It can be seen that the relationship between Governor Hong and Governor Xu is not as harmonious and friendly as imagined. And during the month-long purge of the rebel people's army in Shaanxi. The officers and soldiers of Shaanxi have always followed only the orders of the governor, and for the trilateral governor's palace. But they paid little attention. According to his nephew's thoughts, Governor Hong was probably uncomfortable in his heart. β
Cao Wenzhao nodded with satisfaction, looked at Cao Bianjiao and said, "You can think of this, it means that you have grown up." Cao Wenzhao said, looked at the door, and sighed: "The situation in Shaanxi, as you guessed, Xu Liang and Hong Chengchou look harmonious, but in fact, they are secretly competing. Governor Xu wanted to consolidate his authority in Shaanxi. And Governor Hong wanted to establish the prestige of the Trilateral Governor. When two tigers fight, one will be injured. β
Cao Bianjiao listened a little as if he didn't understand, and then asked out loud: "Uncle, does this also have something to do with me going to the Guyuan Conference?" β
Cao Wenzhao nodded heavily and said: "You have to remember that when you step into officialdom, you are dangerous everywhere, and you must be especially cautious and careful in your every move, and make a mistake." There is a possibility that there will be no recovery. Do you still remember the promise made to you and me by Lord Xu, the governor of Shaanxi, a few days ago? β
Cao Bianjiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stroked his palms happily and said, "How can you forget!" The governor not only promised to mention me as the deputy general of the cavalry battalion, but also recommended me to the court as the general of the Chang'an garrison. β
"It's good if you remember." Cao Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Cao Bianjiao. He asked rhetorically, "Then think about it, the governor values you so much, and you have a special status." Attend the meeting of the trilateral governor Hong-sama in a grand manner...... This whole thing falls into the eyes of Lord Xu, what will Lord Xu think of you? β
Cao Bianjiao choked. After thinking about it, his face slowly changed, and he said deliciously: "The governor will probably think so." I, Cao Bianjiao, took refuge in Governor Hong, and I was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, eating the governor's money, but I deliberately stammered with the governor of the three sides, Lord Hong......"
Cao Bianjiao said, his face suddenly sweated like rain, looked at his uncle, and said with a frightened face: "Uncle, I heard that our governor hates those who betray him the most, and those who have betrayed the governor have no good end!" I can't go to this Guyuan Conference. β
Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao patted Cao Bianjiao's shoulder comfortingly, and said solemnly: "Bianjiao, not only can you not go to this Guyuan Conference, but you also have to explain it to the governor in person before the conference is held, so as to eliminate the governor's misunderstanding of you." β
Cao Bianjiao hesitated and said: "The invitation to the conference was sent to me separately, and I was invited to participate in the Guyuan Conference, as long as I don't say it, uncle, you don't say it, presumably the governor won't know about it, right?" That explanation doesn't have to be necessary, right? β
Cao Wenzhao listened, but sneered and asked: "There is no impermeable wall in the world. Think about it, even the deputy thousand households of the dignified Jinyi Wei Xi'an Office have to look at the face of the governor, how long do you think your affairs can be hidden from the governor? β
Cao Bianjiao suddenly felt a spirit, grabbed Cao Wenzhao's hand, and shouted repeatedly: "Uncle, take me to see the governor!" β
Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew hurriedly rode out of Cao's mansion and went straight to the governor's yamen.
Outside the main gate of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen, Cao Wenzhao inquired about Xu Liang's whereabouts with the Governor Yamen soldiers who were guarding the gate, only to know that the governor took Wang Qinian, Luo Baiguan, Tietou and others out of the city to hunt and has not returned.
Cao Bianjiao raised his eyes to see that the sun was in the middle of the sky at dusk, the time had just arrived at noon, he was worried about things in his heart, so he couldn't wait, and pulled Cao Wenzhao again, and the two of them and two horses quickly left Chang'an City and looked for Xu Liang.
Traced all the way to more than 20 miles outside Chang'an City, at the entrance of a valley, I finally saw a few officers and soldiers of the patrol division waiting at the entrance of the valley, Cao Wenzhao stepped forward to inquire, and confirmed that this was the Shaanxi governor Xu Liang went out of the city to hunt the horses, and the two uncles and nephews waited at the mouth of the valley with peace of mind.
This waited until the sun was in the west, Cao Wenzhao and others heard a sound of horses' hooves in the valley, everyone looked up, only to see the patrol department commander Tietou, the tax department raised Luo Baiguan, Shaanxi political Wang Qinian and others each rode horses, followed by Shaanxi governor Xu Liang, longitudinal horses rushed towards the valley mouth, on the back of each horse, there were some shot hares, pheasants and other prey.
Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew patted the horse to greet him, and Lao Yuan smiled and bowed his hand to Xu Liang and said: "The governor went out of the city to hunt, and he gained a lot, and the last general and the little nephew have been in a long time." β
Xu Liang paused his horse, looked at Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, and asked in surprise, "General Cao, why are you here?" β
Cao Wenzhao smiled wryly, pointed at Cao Bianjiao, who was blushing on the side, and said, "The nephew of the last general, Cao Bianjiao unexpectedly received a conference invitation from Lord Hong, the governor of the three sides, two days ago. The last general and Cao Bianjiao were very surprised, Cao Bianjiao couldn't make up his mind about whether to go to the Guyuan Conference or not, and deliberately looked for the governor and wanted to ask the governor what he meant. β
Cao Bianjiao arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, my subordinates have never met the Governor of the Three Sides face-to-face, and this time Governor Hong actually invited his subordinates to participate in the Guyuan Conference, and his subordinates are sincerely afraid. β
Xu Liang looked at Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao with a faint gaze, his eyes fell on Cao Bianjiao, smiled lightly, and asked, "This Guyuan Conference, do you want to go to Bianjiao?" β
Cao Bianjiao's heart trembled, and he felt that Xu Liang's gaze on his body was like substance, and he immediately lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Subordinate, all subordinates obey the will of the governor." β
Cao Wenzhao frowned slightly, and arched his hand towards Xu Liang and said: "Lord Governor, the Guyuan Conference is of a very high standard, and the participants are all high-ranking officials in the northwest, Cao Bianjiao has no official position, how can he go to such a venue!" The last general means that Cao Bianjiao must not go to this meeting. Well, Cao Bianjiao also agreed. β
Xu Liang sat on the back of the horse, groaned for a while, and saw that Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew were all looking at him with a worried face, and couldn't help but chuckle and wave his hand and said, "General Cao's words are a bit excessive. The Guyuan Conference was held by the Governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, and the Governor's Office carefully studied who to invite and who not to invite. How many Northwest officials want to beg the Governor to send an invitation, but they can't come. Since Cao Bianjiao can be invited, it means that Cao Bianjiao is good enough. As for the identity of the officialdom, you can rest assured, the recommendation has been submitted by this official. β
When Cao Bianjiao heard this, his expression was a little excited. Cao Wenzhao looked at Xu Liang suspiciously, and asked uncertainly: "Then, what does Uncle Governor mean, this Guyuan Conference, will he go or not?" β
Xu Liang looked up to the sky and smiled, shook his hand very generously and said, "Go, how can you not go?!" When it was time to set off, General Cao's uncle and nephew went to Guyuan with this official! β
Cao Wenzhao was stunned, Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed, followed behind the mounts of Xu Liang and others, and saluted Xu Liang's back, his eyes were both grateful and admired!
