"My lord, my subordinates suggested that Zhao Danyu should be appointed as the prefect of Fengyang Mansion."

Xu Wanghua put forward this suggestion, which made Zheng Xunrui stunned for a moment, although Zhao Danyu was the governor of the imperial history, in fact, he has always been responsible for coordinating the affairs of the Huai'an Firearms Bureau, the affairs of the Firearms Bureau are also a big thing, the strong combat effectiveness of the Zheng Family's army, coupled with the sharpness of firearms, the combination of the two can make the Zheng Family's army invincible in the world, this time to aid Beizhili, the Zheng Family's army with more than 5,000 casualties to destroy nearly 40,000 Houjin Tartars, and nearly 20,000 Han troops, the role of Mauser guns and Hongyi cannons is indispensable.

The expenses of the Firearms Bureau are huge, millions of taels of silver are invested in it, if there are people who are greedy for profit, I don't know how much silver taels can be greedy, but Zhao Danyu is very honest, not to mention how much ability is, at least when coordinating the affairs of the Firearms Bureau, Zhao Danyu is conscientious, and he is never greedy for a penny of silver, he treats the affairs of the Firearms Bureau as a family matter.

Of course, Zhao Danyu's wife Zheng Yuhua's reminder and supervision are also indispensable.

This at least shows that Zhao Danyu is absolutely trustworthy.

Xu Wanghua suddenly proposed such an adjustment, there must be a reason.

Zheng Xunrui didn't speak, and looked at Xu Wanghua quietly.

"My lord, recently, my subordinates have found out that Lord Shi Kefa has sent people from the palace to the capital, nominally in the name of caring about the invasion of Beizhili by the Houjin Tartars, but my subordinates don't particularly believe it."

Zheng Xunrui's heart shook slightly, as early as when he met the emperor, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and many adults in the court seemed to regard him as different, which may be that Zheng Jiajun was too brave, but when he was discussing in the Qianqing Palace, he completely felt the rejection, which was probably a precursor to the high merit and the lord.

Shi Kefa has been in contact with Zheng Xunrui for a long time, and his identity is not ordinary, and he used to be a member of the Donglin Party. Later, under the influence of Zheng Xunrui, he changed his understanding, gained Zheng Xunrui's trust, and was recommended to be the governor of Fengyang.

Could it be that the emperor or the court has already done it? began to divide and disintegrate the people around Zheng Xunrui.

Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying and others are undoubtedly the best targets, first of all, their grades are different, both of them are civil officials of the third grade, if they take refuge in the imperial court, Zheng Xunrui's strength will suffer a heavy blow. The second is that both of them are Jinshi backgrounds, have rich experience, and their own abilities are also good, if they are taken by the emperor and the court, it is undoubtedly Zheng Xunrui's loss, and the last point is the most important, that is, if Shi Kefa defects to the imperial court, it will definitely cause a shock in the camp that Zheng Xunrui has worked hard to manage, so that more people will have such thoughts.

It is unrealistic to rely solely on oneself to develop talent. The development of any force requires the help of external forces.

"Mr. Xu, say all your worries, don't be taboo."

Xu Wanghua thought for a moment and spoke.

"It's not that the subordinates don't think that there is something wrong with Lord Shi Kefa, but they are a little worried about this situation, it is understandable that Lord Shi Kefa is concerned about the situation in Beizhili, but Lord Shi can contact the Governor's Mansion, and there is no need to send people to the capital at the expense of the near and far. The relationship between Lord Shi and Lord Huang Huixu, the prefect of Fengyang, is very good, and the cooperation is also very good. ”

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly. Xu Wanghua's consideration is very comprehensive and thoughtful.

Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying and others, after all, are Jinshi who came out of the imperial examination, and they have the idea of serving the country with loyalty to the monarch in their bones, which is impossible to change, Zheng Xunrui attracted these people to his side and asked them to be loyal. It is also reasonable, but Zheng Xunrui has not fallen out with the court after all, and he has not completely turned his face with the emperor, speaking of which, he is the same as Shi Kefa and others, they are still courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and sometimes Shi Kefa and others show their yearning for the court, which is understandable.

But understanding does not mean doing nothing, and it does not mean letting Shi Kefa be completely co-opted by the emperor and the imperial court.

"People have their own aspirations, don't force them, if Shi Kefa really made that choice, we don't have to punish us, adjust the matter of the Fengyang prefect, I think it's feasible, give Shi Kefa a certain reminder, I believe that after he understands the deep meaning of this, he will make a choice, from now on, pay close attention to Shi Kefa's every move, and report any changes at any time, if Shi Kefa is dedicated to the emperor and the court, then we must also take measures as quickly as possible, and the governor of Fengyang must be adjusted."

Zheng Xunrui said this, Xu Wanghua was a little incomprehensible.

"My lord, my subordinates think that if Master Shi has different intentions, it should be severely punished."

"The sea is inclusive, tolerance is great, the more times like this, the more we test us, we can't ask everyone to be so loyal, some people waver can be understood, these people can also be used in the future, but they can't take on the big responsibility, we must put on such a posture, with a tolerant attitude to treat all this, so that more talents can gather."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui's words changed.

"Zheng Jiajun must not have such a problem, from the general army to the team, must be absolutely loyal, any wavering, we must not hesitate to punish, as long as we stabilize Zheng Jiajun, there is nothing to worry about."

"Mr. Xu, regarding the chief officials of the government at all levels in Huaibei and Fuzhou, you also help to consider it a lot, if you have any opinions and suggestions, although you put it forward, this civil official is always much more complicated than a military attaché."

After talking about the adjustment of officials in Huaibei and Fuzhou, Zheng Xunrui mentioned another thing that he was particularly concerned about.

"Mr. Xu, Lord Zhou Yanru is once again the first assistant of the cabinet, what do you think?"

Xu Wanghua was obviously prepared, stood up and spoke.

"The subordinates remember that the deceased former cabinet chief assistant Lord Wen Tiren once recommended Lord Zhou, but at that time, Lord Wen happened to be removed from the post of cabinet chief assistant by the emperor, and it was useless to make such a suggestion, and the subordinates also remembered that Lord Wen once hoped that Lord Zhou would be recommended, but I didn't expect that it had only been more than a year, and the emperor would use Lord Zhou."

"Lord Zhou's ability, his subordinates agree, when Lord Zhou served as the first assistant of the cabinet, it was the most complicated time for the imperial court, Lord Zhou was able to stabilize the government, if there was no extraordinary ability, it would not be possible at all, so this time the emperor thought of Lord Zhou, which should also be expected."

"Judging from the situation in the capital reported by the subordinates, Lord Zhang Zhifa is indeed not suitable to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, and he can have major flaws."

"Lord Zhou served as the first assistant of the cabinet, and his subordinates think that it is generally beneficial to adults, and Lord Zhou's daughter Zhou Bingyan is the wife of the adult's brother, with such a relationship, presumably Lord Zhou will not be excessive."

"But there is a little subordinate who doesn't understand, it is said that the imperial court is a little dissatisfied with the adult, in such a situation, he actually wants to let Lord Zhou, who has some in-law relationship with the adult, be the first assistant of the cabinet, wouldn't it make the power of the adult even stronger." ……

Zheng Xunrui's face had no expression, and he completely agreed with Xu Wanghua's analysis, but the key point, Xu Wanghua should not have said it, or did not take it into account, but only saw the favorable side.

"Mr. Xu, I can assert that after Lord Zhou becomes the first assistant of the cabinet, the life of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion will not be easy, on the contrary, more restrictions may appear, you have to be prepared."

Xu Wanghua looked at Zheng Xunrui and didn't show any surprise.

"This time I went to the capital, I have already felt the emperor's suspicion and the estrangement of the court, in this case, how can the emperor let Lord Zhou help me, make my strength stronger, it is precisely because there is such a family relationship between Lord Zhou and me, but it can make the emperor more assured, I can conclude that Lord Zhou as the first assistant of the cabinet, will definitely be put forward some unusual requirements, and Lord Zhou must do it."

"The emperor and the court's suspicion of me, as time goes by, will become more and more serious, the big waves of sand, Huaibei and Fuzhou and other places, I am afraid that they will have to accept some unusual tests, so it is okay, let the court help me to select other candidates, we should strive for the talents we try to strive for, those talents that can not be obtained, after we see clearly, it is also wise to give up early, and Mr. Xu may be more busy in the future."

Xu Wanghua hurriedly bowed.

"My lord, these are the things that subordinates should do."

"Mr. Xu, if Elder Xu Guangqi were still alive, I don't know what he would think of everything I did today."

Xu Wanghua's eyes flickered, and he thought for a moment before speaking.

"The subordinates thought that the lord must have an opinion, but according to the lord's understanding and foresight, although he was not satisfied, he should also know that everything the lord did was right."

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, what you said is right, in the past few days in the capital, I often think of Master Xu Guangqi, as well as the grandfather, Dong Qichang, etc., they have all passed away, the relationship between them and me is not ordinary, if there is a spirit under the ground, seeing what I am doing today, I am afraid that it will be bitter."

Zheng Jinhong, who had been listening quietly and had not spoken, suddenly spoke at this time.

"Young master, my subordinates don't think it's necessarily, when the young master is in Shaanxi, Shaanxi can stabilize, the young master arrives in Huaibei, the people of Huaibei can live a good life, even Fuzhou and other places, the people are stable, if Xu Guangqi and other underground spirits, knowing these situations, they have nothing to say, what the court did was unpopular, resulting in a chaotic situation everywhere, if it wasn't for the young master's maintenance, I don't know what it would become, familiar with it that since it is correct, then do it."

Zheng Xunrui and Xu Wanghua both looked at Zheng Jinhong, and soon, Zheng Xunrui smiled, since the path he took was correct, what did he want to do so much, wouldn't it be a mediocrity to disturb himself, just rest assured and bold.

"Jinhong, this time your acquaintance has surpassed mine, I want to sincerely thank you for the reminder." (To be continued.) )
