Chapter 615: Borrowing Strength

Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Caoyun, Wang Duo, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch of the town guard, are all key figures tracked by the Zheng Jiajun Investigation Bureau, and their every move will be fed back to Zheng Xunrui at any time.

With such a big move by Gan Xuekuo, it is impossible for the Investigation Department to be indifferent, and a large amount of information has arrived at Zheng Xunrui.

More than three months have passed, Zheng Xunrui's first step of the plan has been basically completed, Zheng Jiajun has established a foothold in Nanjing, Hongmen Qianzhuang has developed on a large scale, and its tentacles have extended to all Fuzhou counties in Nanzhili, and Hongmen is gradually controlling the Hangzhou wharf.

It should be said that at this time, Zheng Xunrui is going to find an opportunity to do it, and always maintaining this smooth way of operation is also unfavorable for him, once Gan Xuekuo and Wang Duo and others choose to do it, he will always suffer a lot from the Sun family, I didn't expect that at this time, Gan Xuekuo was not idle, and was ready to make a big move.

The secret line placed in the Caoyun Governor's Mansion secretly transmitted all of Gan Xuekuo's actions, including Gan Xuekuo's summoning of Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin, Chen Zilong, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and Su Jiancheng, etc., when the information that Wu Weiye and others decided to resign and return home was transmitted to Nanjing, Zheng Xunrui realized that Gan Xuekuo had already begun to act, and his primary goal was to clean up the officialdom in Huaibei.

Gan Xuekuo is not idle, Zheng Xunrui is not idle, Huaibei cannot be chaotic, it must maintain basic stability, this is Zheng Xunrui's bottom line, once this bottom line is broken, Zheng Xunrui will definitely do it.

The arrangements made with hard work in Huaibei have been stable for more than three months, if Gan Xuekuo has not made any moves, it will not be normal, but the emperor and cabinet in the capital can calm down and do not blindly blame Gan Xuekuo. This made Gan Xuekuo even more guilty, and he must do something big.

Zheng Xunrui still knows some of the emperor's temper, after Gan Xuekuo took office, he was not able to transport a grain of grain to the capital and the north, so in this case. The emperor didn't reprimand, he actually held back his anger, this hand was really high, which made Gan Xuekuo feel guilty and made Gan Xuekuo desperate.

Zheng Xunrui's face was serious, and he held a lot of information synthesized by the Intelligence Agency in his hands, focusing on every move of Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Caoyun, and the opinion analyzed by the intelligence agency was very clear, that is, Gan Xuekuo may have to adjust a large number of officials in the four prefectures of Huaibei and the Caoyun Governor's Mansion. After all, more than three months have passed, and Gan Xuekuo is basically familiar with the situation in Huaibei and the Caoyun Governor's Palace.

At the beginning, Xu Wanghua's analysis, that is, Huaibei can be stable for three months to half a year, in fact, Zheng Xunrui's prediction is more conservative and cautious than Xu Wanghua, he believes that Huaibei can be stable at most until about Layue, the reason is that in late winter because of the freezing of the Northern Canal, the transportation officially stopped, and at this time. Gan Xuekuo will be able to have enough time to free up his hands to solve the difficulties he encounters.

There were some minor problems with Zheng's analysis. That is, Gan Xuekuo did not encounter the emperor's punishment, which was not expected before, in his plan, once Gan Xuekuo could not transport a large amount of grain to the capital and the north in a short period of time, he would encounter criticism from all sides, according to the emperor's temperament. I can't help it, I must urge Gan Xuekuo to quickly control the affairs of Caoyun, and at that time, Gan Xuekuo, who is in a hurry to go to the doctor, is likely to panic. Make some irreparable mistakes.

Knowing the grace is the knot of the reader, not to mention being loyal to the emperor, some people have adopted a very good strategy by mastering the psychology of the reader, so that Gan Xuekuo feels guilty, and Gan Xuekuo has the most powerful ability to burst out in guilt.

The quietness of the capital made Zheng Xunrui aware of the strength of his opponent, just relying on the emperor, he couldn't do this, if no one persuaded the emperor bitterly, the Huai'an Governor's Mansion would have been a chicken.

It should be said that by the emperor's side, Zhou Yanru has such ability, and Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others are also very good, but Zhou Yanru cannot get the emperor's complete trust, and it is impossible for Qian Shisheng, Hou Xun and others to persuade the emperor on such a big matter, after all, Gan Xuekuo is a member of the Donglin Party, and the only one who can do this is the eunuch around the emperor.

Zheng Xunrui's attention also began to focus on Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian, Wang Dehua and others, and he faintly felt that these eunuchs around the emperor may not be simple.

"Mr. Xu, Jin Hong, the Investigation Department thinks that Gan Xuekuo's next move is to adjust the officials of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and the four prefectures of Huaibei, and his actions may be very large, what do you think?"

Xu Wanghua spoke calmly.

"My lord, my subordinates think that this is expected, Lord Gan has been the governor of Caoyun for more than three months, and he has done nothing, he should have been reprimanded by the emperor and the cabinet, but the capital is very quiet, Lord Gan is not an incompetent person, through such a long period of observation, a breakthrough has been found, and the subordinates think that the analysis of the Investigation Department is also correct, Lord Gan must be in all directions, in September and October, not a single grain of grain was transported to the capital and the north, which made Lord Gan feel that the situation in Huaibei is very complicated, Only by taking full action and thoroughly adjusting officials at all levels can we truly solve the problem. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Wanghua paused slightly and sighed slightly.

"The subordinates believe that Lord Gan will adjust all the candidates for the prefects of the four prefectures and three prefectures of Huaibei, and adjust the participation of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and some other officials."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly and looked at Zheng Jinhong.

"Young master, my subordinates feel that what Mr. Xu said is correct, but even if Lord Gan adjusts all the officials in Huaibei, it is not a big deal, it is impossible to change the situation in Huaibei in a short time, Zheng Jiajun is stationed in Huai'an Mansion, Hongmen controls Caoyun and Caochuan, Zheng Jiajun can support Hongmen in secret, and the merchants in Huaibei also know how powerful Hongmen is, they dare not mess around, even if the government speaks, they have to see what attitude Hongmen has."

Zheng Jinhong's analysis made Zheng Xunrui's face show a smile, and he was pleased with Zheng Jinhong's progress.

Xu Wanghua also looked at Zheng Jinhong, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"What you said is right, Gan Xuekuo wants to change the situation in Huaibei in a short period of time, it is not that simple, as long as Hongmen can control Caoyun and Caochuan, even if he adjusts the officials at all levels in Huaibei, it will take time to operate, but there is one thing we must pay attention to, once the officials at all levels in Huaibei are adjusted, the situation will definitely change, and some conflicts on the surface are very likely to appear, so we must have a way to deal with it."

Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong looked at Zheng Xunrui at the same time, and when they heard these words, they knew that Zheng Xunrui had made a decision.

"Mr. Xu, you immediately go to do two things, the first thing, write to Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Su Jiancheng, Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong and others, telling them that they must not take the initiative to resign, they must persevere, don't think about avoiding contradictions because of Gan Xuekuo's few words, if the court decides to adjust, then obey, the second thing, draw up a recital, Gan Xuekuo is not thinking about adjusting the prefects and governors of the four prefectures of Huaibei, isn't he thinking about adjusting most of the officials of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, we will fulfill him, Before this, he wrote a memora to the imperial court and adjusted some officials from Huaibei to Nanjing. ”

"Jinhong, you go to do something immediately, tell Hong Xintao stationed in Huai'an, the soldiers of the Zheng family army must do their best to protect Hongmen, so that Hongmen can continue to control the Huai'an wharf, and if necessary, you can take some secret means to muddy the situation."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua quickly spoke.

"My lord, I don't know who is planned to be adjusted for the cabinet."

"It's very simple, didn't Gan Xuekuo find Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Su Jiancheng, Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong and others to discuss, my estimation, he wanted to let these people be loyal to the imperial court, be able to work against me, and be able to support him, but unfortunately this strategy failed, then the rest of the prefects and governors who did not negotiate are the candidates that Gan Xuekuo is ready to adjust, in addition to the prefect, there are also Ma Zhukui, Liang Xingli and Li Yan and others, Gan Xuekuo must also be adjusted."

"Nanjing Sixth Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, no one has ever paid attention to it, and the adjustments we propose may have unexpected effects, I don't believe that the emperor can really calm down, and I really believe in Gan Xuekuo."

Zheng Xunrui's twists and turns were quickly sent to the cabinet in the capital, and they arrived in the cabinet almost at the same time as Gan Xuekuo's twists and turns.

In the face of Zheng Xunrui's recital and Gan Xuekuo's recital, Zhou Yanru's expression was very complicated, he did not open two copies of the recital for the time being, Gan Xuekuo's recital, he basically knew, but at this time Zheng Xunrui also wrote the recital, he was a little confused, could it be that Zheng Xunrui is a god, can know all Gan Xuekuo's measures, and also thought of a way to deal with it.

After writing a letter to Zheng Xunrui, Zhou Yanru's mind changed, it is not appropriate to describe it as a wall-riding faction, he will not swear allegiance to the emperor, because it is gambling with the future and life of the whole family and even the whole clan, it is not worth it, but he has not decided to really support Zheng Xunrui, for example, the matters discussed by the cabinet, and the decisions made by the emperor, he will not inform Zheng Xunrui.

Holding two copies of the fold in his hand, Zhou Yanru went straight to the ceremonial eunuch, Zhou Yanru has already seen that the emperor trusts the eunuch the most, he might as well hand over the recital to the eunuch Wang Chengen, Gan Xuekuo has been the governor of Caoyun for more than three months, nothing has been done, but the emperor has not lost his temper, this is very rare, the cabinet has discussed, whether to give Gan Xuekuo an edict, asking him to do a good job of Caoyun first, but the ticket is going to the emperor, like a stone sinking into the sea.

The only people who can really speak around the emperor are the people who are the celebrants. (To be continued......)
