Chapter 469: Kneeling and begging

After a cold rain, the cold plum blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River bloomed. The officials on the Shimonoseki wharf lined up neatly, shivering in the river breeze.

Shi Kefa in the crowd had a gloomy and scary face. In the latest newspaper, Chen Sihua asked to resign from the post of prime minister of the thief, and His Majesty approved it, appointing him as the governor of Liaodong, Shandong, and Jiangnan provinces, reforming the Ming financial system, implementing the advisory bureau system, and using these three provinces as a pilot and naming the special administrative region.

There is also a dialogue between Chen Xie and the emperor in the newspaper, which means that Zhu Youzhen asked Chen Xie to serve in the cabinet of the Beijing Division, but Chen Xie politely declined. And build yì, the cabinet minister is in charge of the national economy and people's livelihood in the world, and should have experience in various levels of foreign officials in his resume, and experience in Hanlin is preferred. In other words, if Wenchen wants to be like a cabinet, he must meet a prerequisite, that is, no matter how beautiful your resume is, you have to start from the Qipin County Order, and then step by step to the governor. Without such an experience, you will be eliminated in the competition.

This construction caused an uproar, and the courtiers talked about it. After Shi Kefa read the news in the Di newspaper, he immediately went to the Beijing division and insisted that Chen Xie was "chaotic government". While attacking Chen Xie's chaotic government, Shi Kefa did not forget to attack the first assistant Zhou Yanru by the way, thinking that his use of Ma Shiying, who was guilty of crime, as the governor of Jiangbei, was also a chaotic government.

After the expiration of the period of worrying for his father-in-law, Shi Kefa did not return to Caoyun as in history, and the head of Caoyun was Zhu Dadian. And the areas that can really be managed are limited to Yangzhou, Huai'an and other places, and there is nothing for him to do when he enters Shandong. The matter of collecting fees on the canal, Shi Kefa did not attack. The imperial court was too short of money.

The news of the three provinces of Governor Chen Xie came, and Shi Kefa, who was the imperial history of Jiangnan, made another twist and turn, asking Zhu Youzhen to take back his order and not to engage in any special zones, and the overall situation of the current imperial court is to maintain a stable situation. This recital was sunk into the sea, and Lu Daqi in the Beijing division wrote to him that His Majesty was very dissatisfied with this recital. He told a cabinet minister that the northwest is still suppressing thieves, and the victims of the disaster in various provinces need relief. It was the time for the imperial court to use money. Some people don't mention solutions to problems. But they are specifically looking for troubles that can solve problems and do things. Such a person, that is, he can be a speech official, if he really asks him to do something practical, he will definitely achieve nothing.

This was not named. But the pointing is clear. What does Shi Kefa say about people? A mix of upright and pedantic. This. "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" does not speak highly of him. Especially when it comes to the issue of support. Historians can say that their evaluation of him is very low.

Because of the impeachment of Chen Xie, everyone felt that Shi Kefa was going to be unlucky, so he stood there alone at this time. Everyone kept their distance. Shi Kefa doesn't care, this is a person who admits death. The discipline index is very high, but the kind that can't do things. This kind of person is still very good as a spokesman, and anyone dares to impeach. But then again, you have to see what he impeachs.

Zhu Dadian, the governor of Yingtian, is an old acquaintance of Chen Xie. Why count? There is really not much intersection between the two, when Zhu Dadian was the governor of Denglai, he didn't take less than silver, and he had nothing to do with Chen Xie. This time, Chen Xie's refusal to stay in Jingshi and his coming to Jiangnan is really incomprehensible. Zhu Dadian didn't understand either, that was to enter the cabinet. Before Chen Xie, he was a university scholar, but he actually didn't do anything in the cabinet.

The pattern of suppressing thieves in the northwest is basically stable now. After Li Zicheng was destroyed, the armies of all walks of life moved westward, and the Dengzhou battalion stayed in Henan and Huguang, on the one hand, it continued to stabilize the dìng place, provide relief to the people, and immigrate in large numbers. On the other hand, the Dengzhou camp stays in various places in this chain, and he will not come if Zhang Xianzhong is invited. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other thieves have been going around between Shaanxi and Sichuan. Shaanxi can only wander around Hannan, and further down, Sun Chuanting and Qin Jun are not vegetarians. The same is true in Sichuan, Qin Liangyu and Qin Yiming blocked the road into Sichuan. Shu is difficult, this is not nonsense. At this time and space, Zhang Xianzhong was not convinced to go deep into Sichuan, and he walked around the border area between the two provinces.

In the past, Zhang Xianzhong's bitter hand Zuo Liangyu was cut down, and now he was replaced by He Renlong and other four generals after the reorganization of the army in Xiangyang, after the destruction of Li Zicheng, the army of these four was reorganized again, and before the winter came, they left Xiangyang and entered the northwest to suppress the thieves.

Under such an overall situation, the chaos of the Ming Dynasty finally saw the hope of calming down. If it is gradually suppressed as a thief, it will not solve the fundamental problem. The difficulty is to have food to help, which is the most critical root cause.

Regarding Chen Xie's mobilization of a large amount of grain relief, Zhu Youzhen felt deep in his heart that this son-in-law was loyal to the imperial court. This is not 180,000 stone grain, this is millions of stone grain. After learning that Chen Xie was in Henan and Huguang for relief, when Zhu Youzhen summoned Chen Xie in Beijing, he proposed to use the income of the Shandong Shipbuilding Division for three years as collateral in exchange for 1 million stone of grain, which would be used to help the victims in various places. Chen Xie agreed, in fact, Zhu Youzhen knew very well in his heart that according to the reports of the eunuchs, three years' income, not to mention millions of stone grain, even if it was the expenses of the four armies that Chen Xie raised for the emperor, the income for three years was not enough.

After Chen Xie agreed, Shandong immediately took action. The ability of these two commercial organizations to burst out is simply shocking. In just half a year, millions of stone grains arrived in Shanxi and Shanxi, and were handed over to Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, solving a big problem.

After staying in Beijing for half a month, Zhu Youzhen talked to Chen Xie every day, and repeatedly kept Chen Xie in Beijing, but in the end Chen Xie refused, and refused with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister belongs to the sea." Zhu Youzhen couldn't understand it, but he didn't force it. The changes that Chen Xie brought to Daming were imperceptible bit by bit, and I really couldn't see it for a while.

The official ship appeared, and the flags were flying. Zhu Dadian ordered music and cannon fire, and brought the officials of Nanjing to greet him, and the officials of the six departments in Nanjing were also ready to greet him.

On the day of February 2 of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Xiaguan wharf was very lively, and when I learned the news that Chen Xie came to Jiangnan, the girls on the Qinhuai River poured out of the nest and came to greet Chen Xie. For these girls, Chen Xie is really special. If it weren't for the officials on the dock, the warblers and Yanyan everywhere, who would have known that it was the governor of the three provinces?

The official ship approached, and the officials on the dock were somewhat surprised that they didn't see Chen Xie, who was supposed to be standing on the bow of the boat. Could it be that Chen Xie is so rude? Nanjing has six departments, can it really despise everyone so much?

The atmosphere of Wharf Hill, because of Chen Xie's maverick became a bit dull, the pedals on the boat were lowered, and everyone looked at the boat with dark faces, not wanting to come out of a woman dressed gracefully, look at the dress on her body, everyone knew who was coming. Princess Kunxing, this is the only one, and there is no semicolon.

All the officials gave up their hands one after another, and after seeing the princess, after almost meaning, Zhu Dadian stepped forward and said, "Princess, why don't you see Lord Sihua?" Zhu Yujiao, who stepped off the boat, frowned when she heard this: "What, didn't the husband already arrive in Jiangnan?" He took the land route, riding lightly, saying that there was something important to deal with, and he should have arrived ten days ago. ”

As the governor of the three provinces, on the first day of taking office, everyone knew that this guy had actually arrived in Jiangnan ten days ago, and their hearts suddenly tightened. Is this the rhythm of a private interview with a microserver? What kind of tricks are you playing? Those who have ghosts in their hearts immediately tighten their hearts. Who is Chen Xie? When he led his troops to fight, he killed Zuo Liangyu and his 20,000 subordinates in one go.

In case this micro-service private visit finds something, how many people's heads will move? Many people's necks are cold!

The atmosphere on the dock cooled down, and the girls didn't see Chen Xie, so they shouted quickly. The officials wanted to send the princess, but the people were not happy, and there were already carriages waiting on the docks, taking their own people to Chen Xie's governor's house in Nanjing. This house was bought by people themselves, and it was furnished a month ago.

In Suzhou, in the bleak wind and cold rain, a sedan chair hurriedly came to the door of a house in Suzhou. After the accompanying maids went to the ground to pay their respects, it was actually Cui Xin, the actual steward here, who came out. As the actual manager of the textile factory in Suzhou, Cui Xin actually played the role of the porter, which can be regarded as scaring the maid. The people in the sedan chair were also shocked, and then showed a hint of happiness.

"Come in a sedan chair!" Cui Xin's expression was very cold, and his voice was very unkind. But I don't have the heart to think about it here, and at the moment of life and death, when I come to beg for help, I can't talk about any face.

The sedan chair was carried until the door of the master's yard before stopping, and Zhou Xiuying repeatedly warned herself to be calm, to bow her head and be small, and to keep a little family business of the Shen family in Suzhou. After taking a deep breath, Zhou Xiuying saw Han Shan, who was like a javelin standing at the door, and immediately knew that his news today was correct, he had indeed come to Suzhou.

"Come with me." Han Shan's words didn't have any emotional color, and Zhou Xiuying said lightly: "There is labor!" ”

Sandalwood was lit in the study, a charcoal stove was burned, and after the cloak was removed, a warmth came from all sides. In front of the huge desk, Chenxi, who was standing with her hands behind her back, nodded at her with a faint smile on her face and said, "How do you know that I came to Suzhou?" ”

Zhou Xiuying stepped forward and said: "There are some things that the slave family should have known a long time ago, but unfortunately, it was too late." ”

Chen Xie smiled, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down and talk, you are a guest when you come." Just as Chen Xie finished speaking and sat down, Zhou Xiuying knelt down straight and said, "The slave family begs the adult to let the Shen family go!" ”

The smile on Chen Xie's face gradually faded, and he changed to a cold face, looked at her unhurriedly, and didn't say anything to help her up. This woman is thirty years old, right? It is said that she still has no children, and she has been in charge of the affairs of the Shen family, speaking of which the Shen family's rapid decline over the years, her responsibility is really not small. In fact, even if another person controls the Shen family, if he is willing to give up his vested interests, he will still be crushed by absolute strength. (To be continued......)
