After a good life, he was addicted to a strict father, and when Hao Zheng, who went to Jiaozhou to inspect, came back, Hao Fenglou began to pretend to be a grandson again.

When father and son meet, a thousand words are not spoken.

There is no greeting, and there is no need for any red tape politeness, Hao Fenglou just called Dad affectionately, Hao Zheng nodded, he glanced at Hao Fenglou deeply, knowing that a conversation that would decide the fate of the Hao family was about to begin.

After pondering for a while, Hao Zheng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "What is the situation in Chengdu Mansion?" ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Grain production has skyrocketed, industry and commerce have also begun to rise, the chief of the chief has established authority, and these chief of the first chief is also under the jurisdiction of the government at the county level, the official service has also been abolished and replaced, most of them are replaced by the restored soldiers, most of the old officials are local snakes, living in the local area for generations, they deceive the government on the top, and defraud the people below, so it is extremely difficult to dismiss them, the officials are clear streams, and the officials are turbid officials, these small officials are the real rulers, and the roots are deep in the local tree, In fact, it is the most difficult to provoke, and the son is determined to eradicate these officials, for no other reason, that no one is allowed to play with the right and wrong in the place. It's just that if ordinary people are replaced, they will definitely be retaliated against by these retrenched people, they are all local snakes, and some of them have the means, if they really want to get together, it is difficult for officials to provoke, let alone ordinary people, so the son used the restored soldiers. On the one hand, they were resettled, and on the other hand, they were formally incorporated into the official establishment, and they were given a monthly salary, which was enough for them to support their families. Moreover, they are outsiders and not local. Even if there are occasional acts of corruption, it is difficult to deceive the superiors and subordinates like the officials in the past. Cover the sky with one hand. The vast majority of them have learned knowledge in the army and can read and break words. Arithmetic is not a problem, so they are enough to take on great responsibilities, and the most important thing is that they are military veterans, and they are by no means good stubble, if they are retaliated against by those in the past, and they are resolute, enough to stabilize the place. ”

Hao Fenglou first focused on the problem of officials, but in fact, the reform of the official system. At the moment, he is not in a hurry, because most of these officials are Qingliu officials, who boast of their status, but the impact on the local government is actually not great, these people, as long as the policy is down, they dare not do anything. On the contrary, the officials are different, the officials are the flesh and blood of a place, which not only directly affects the people's impression of the Hao family. Moreover, it is the main force to implement the policy and control the localities, and it is best to dismiss the old officials and replace them with demobilized soldiers. These people are absolutely loyal to the Hao family, and there is absolutely no problem with their abilities, there are dozens or hundreds of such people in a county. Enough to keep the situation going.

Hao Zheng nodded, as if listening to Hao Fenglou's debriefing report. I listened to Hao Fenglou's report very patiently, and finally. He looked very happy and said: "In the senior political bureau, in fact, there are inevitably some people who have some criticism of local affairs, and they were worried about my father at first, but now it seems that these worries are superfluous, and it seems that I am worried about my father." You did a good job in the local area, and you didn't disappoint the Father, well, this time the Father called you back, just for one thing, see for yourself. ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hao Zheng said, took out a will, and put it on the coffee table.

Hao Feng stepped forward, picked up the holy decree, pursed his lips and smiled.

This is a decree of the Empress Dowager Xu, saying that she has a lot of concerns about Hao Fenglou, and asks Hao Fenglou to take Princess Jing and Princess Jingguo's child Hao Qinzheng into Beijing Province.

"The Queen Mother said in the holy decree that there was a serious illness last month, and life and death were on the line, so she was worried about her loved ones, and asked you and Zhiling to go to Beijing no matter what, what do you think?"

Hao Fenglou said: "But I don't know if the news of the Ministry of Military Intelligence in Jinling can confirm the Queen Mother's illness?" ”

"There is indeed news in the palace, but if there is a suspicion, it may not be impossible."

Hao Fenglou said: "If this decree is true, when the Queen Mother is dying, my righteous son and son-in-law, if I am indifferent, it is really unreasonable." If this is false, if I do not go, not only will I give them an excuse to accuse me of disloyalty and injustice, but once the war breaks out again, they will occupy the moral high ground and can pour all the dirty water on Lang Son. Of course, none of this actually matters, what the son is most worried about is what if the queen mother's illness is true? If the Queen Mother is really seriously ill, many things are indeed unreasonable. ”

Hao Zheng said slowly: "So my father feels that the war must start, once we refuse, the court will definitely be more wary of us, although this edict is about flesh and blood, but it is not a temptation, once they feel inevitable, they have to jump off the wall in a hurry." My father called you back, hoping that you would immediately come back to preside over the Tiance Mansion, do a good job of war mobilization, and make various preparations, and once you tear your face, you will immediately go on a northern expedition. ”

Hao Zheng seemed very resolute, Hao Fenglou knew that his father was not a radical person, and the reason why he was so resolute was only because of the attitude of the main battle faction in all aspects of Langshan, and these people had a great influence on his father.

Hao Fenglou seemed to be a little hesitant, the most direct way is to start immediately, the first strike is stronger, this is of course a good idea, it's just ......

Hao Fenglou thought for a while and said: "Once the army is mobilized, then the court will be monolithic, father, maybe some kind of Cheng dù, what they want is this result, some people in the court are eager for us to do it." ”

Hao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "So what do you mean?" ”

Hao Fenglou took a deep look at Hao Zheng, and then said: "I want to go to Jinling, if the Queen Mother is really critically ill and summons me to go, we will go on a northern expedition instead, so I will be at ease, on the other hand, I always feel that the DPRK and China are not monolithic, there are enemies who we do not share, and there may not be no friends who can be used for us. This battle is different from other times, once the fight starts, there is no possibility of stopping, casualties are only afraid of as many as millions, although the two sides are incompatible, but it is not tolerated, after all, there are still those gentry in the temple and the countryside, and others, after all, are the same as us, they are all the same clan, they are all the same blood, although heaven and earth are not kind to all things for dogs, but the son has always believed that until the last resort, such a situation should be avoided as much as possible. Otherwise, once the seeds of hatred are planted, what will be the real hatred of us in the future, but a group of masters? ”

Hao Fenglou's words are the result of his careful consideration, the current situation is very similar to the Civil War, two different ways of life, two different social forms of hatred of each other, public opinion on both sides has reached the peak, once the war starts, there is no possibility of peace, then it is bound to shed the last drop of blood, and then the tragic course of the war can be imagined.

Once this is the case, after the millions of casualties are caused, even the ordinary people north of Guangdong, because a large number of people died in the hands of the Langshan army, will inevitably have hatred for the Hao family and the entire Langshan, this hatred can never be eliminated without a few generations, killing people is not Hao Fenglou's purpose, Hao Fenglou hopes to have a better result, and by no means countless deaths.

Hao Zheng was angry, and couldn't help but say: "This is the best way, what, do you still want to take risks?" You are too young and vigorous, and this time, being a father will never let you make your own decisions, nor will you take risks lightly. ”

"Father...... The son is not a benevolent person, but millions of dead and wounded, and a considerable part of these people are our soldiers in Langshan, they believe in our Hao family and are willing to die generously for us, is my father really willing to let them shed blood for nothing? ”

Hao Zheng sneered, brushed his sleeves and said, "You don't have to say it, my father won't let you be presumptuous this time." ”

A conversation ended in a very unpleasant way, and even at dinner, the ladies saw the strangeness of the father and son, Hao's mother wanted to ask, Hao Zheng just kept a straight face, in fact, he could understand Hao Fenglou's behavior, Hao Fenglou wanted to use better methods, and some methods were not impossible, but Hao Zheng couldn't accept it.

Hao Zheng just had a gloomy face and didn't pay attention to Hao's mother.

And Hao Fenglou simply lowered his head to eat.

After eating, Hao Zheng sighed, made a look, and retreated from everyone, only then glanced at Hao Fenglou and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Hao Fenglou said: "My son has already listed some plans, but they are not detailed enough for the time being, and I will report them in a few days." ”

Hao Zheng glared at him and said: "There is no 100% certainty, as a father, you are categorically not allowed to do anything wrong, don't you, don't you understand how important your life is, maybe there is already a net waiting for you in Jinling." ”

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly: "So you have to be completely prepared, my son is also a person who cherishes his life, how can he kill himself?" ”
