Chapter 31: The Dangerous Situation in Shaanxi
Xi'an, Shaanxi Governor Yamen.
Governor of Shaanxi (The correct way to write it should be to Governor Shaanxi, in order to be smooth.) Liu Guangsheng's face was grim, and the newspaper holding the political envoy department fell into silence, and in the same hall, sat down the officials of the department who could talk from top to bottom of Shaanxi Province.
Today's Shaanxi has no political envoys, so the governor of Shaanxi is the actual leader, Liu Guangsheng is not a native of Shaanxi, he is from Jiangxi, after the imperial examination into the Nanjing Hanlin Academy, the old teacher is the Ministry of Rites, Nanjing professor Gu Yuncheng, that is, the younger brother of Gu Xiancheng, the founder of the Donglin Party.
Therefore, Liu Guangsheng is a member of the Donglin Party with strong roots.
The recent events in Beijing were copied and distributed to the world in the form of a newspaper by the General Political Envoy, and it was no wonder that Liu Guangsheng was in a good mood when he saw it.
If the previous fight between Wen Tiren and Qian Qianyi can also be regarded as an internal struggle for a split within the party, then now Wen Tiren is in the Huangji Hall (Fengtian Hall was renamed the Huangji Hall on the Jiashen Day of September in the 41st year of Jiajing, the author actually forgot it, thank you for reminding you. It was completely intended to destroy the entire Donglin Party.
The only one who can save the world is the Donglin Party!
At this time, Liu Guangsheng thought of the words of his old mentor Gu Yuncheng, at that time, the court situation was chaotic, the princes and relatives of the capital, and the local powerful ministers and clans colluded to manipulate the government, resulting in political darkness, national financial constraints, and harsh and tyrannical rampant.
If it weren't for Mr. Donglin Gu Xiancheng who single-handedly created the Donglin Party and cultivated so many practical and honest officials for the country, how could the Ming Dynasty persist to this day.
Liu Guangsheng believed in his faith and never wavered, so he hated Wen Tiren very much.
This is ruining the Donglin Party and the country.
"Wen Tiren, you should be killed!"
Liu Guangsheng, who was red-eyed, could only squeeze out this sentence: "The old man wants to write a book to the emperor, please kill Wen Tiren." ”
The first person sitting on the lower left hand is the governor of Shaanxi, Du Yu Shi Hu Ting, who is the second-in-command of the governor's yamen, so he answered the call because of his identity.
"Since His Majesty succeeded to the throne in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, it has been more than a year, and which of the copies we sent from Shaanxi to Beijing has been approved? Earlier, it was Qian Qianyi who controlled the government, and then Zhu Chunchen, and now he has become Wen Tiren, and the ministers have changed in turn, so what's the use of talking to the emperor. ”
"The traitor has misled the country, and the old man wants to enter Beijing!"
Liu Guangsheng's words made everyone present a little unexpected.
"The old man must face the holy face, he must show the pros and cons, and he must eradicate the traitors for His Majesty.
"It's not appropriate to enter Beijing at this time." Hu Ting persuaded: "Now the rebel Gao Yingxiang is making more and more trouble, Luochuan, Chunhua, Sanshui, Luoyang, Qingshui, Chengxian, Hancheng and other places have reported the thief's situation. ”
Liu Guangsheng suddenly became embarrassed.
As he was groaning, a middle-aged man in the hall stood up and said, "If Futai trusts, the lower officials are willing to share the worries of Futai and the hall officials, and go to exterminate the high rebellion." ”
This man Liu Guangsheng also knew that one of the Shaanxi political envoys was just participating in politics, and his name was Hong Chengchou.
Hu Ting frowned and scolded: "The bandits are in great trouble, and they have become a wildfire, and the Xiantai has issued many edicts, asking Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces to work together to order that no one can rush in. ”
The Xiantai in Hu Ting's mouth is Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan.
Hong Chengchou, who was reprimanded, sat down silently, but unexpectedly heard Liu Guangsheng call names.
"If you have the ambition to serve the country, you have the heart of a child, and carefully speaking, what experience do you have in suppressing bandits."
Hong Chengchou suddenly came to his senses, got up and said.
"The so-called thieves and rebels, left and right are nothing more than a group of mobs, neither logistics nor armaments, the so-called reliance is often on the help of geographical advantages and the court to form a circle, from the point of view of the lower officials, treat the rogues with all their strength to encircle and suppress, and gradually compress the scope of their circulation, so that they do not have room to turn around.
To suppress the firm, first to suppress and then to care, do not give it any respite, to eliminate the possibility of resurgence. ”
"Hong Chengchou, you are so bold." Hu Ting was greatly dissatisfied: "It is the strategy of Xiantai to suppress and pacify at the same time, you dare to openly change your beak, and the rogues are also the people of my Ming Dynasty, and they have become bandits due to the lack of food due to natural disasters."
There is a saying: What is the sin of the people who are hungry and thieves? But thou art so vicious that thou wilt slay them to the end. ”
Hong Chengchou, who was reprimanded three times and twice, also lost his temper, and retorted: "They are thieves, we are officials, why should officials be officials if they don't suppress thieves, once this group of rogues is encircled and suppressed to the end of the road, they will pretend to surrender, in order to buy time for themselves, it is precisely because the imperial court has raised their noble hands to them three or four times, which has led to the greater and greater danger of the displaced people in Shaanxi today."
Natural disasters continue, now in May, there is a trend of great drought, think this year is another year of drought, if this year can not be eradicated high rebellion, wait until the end of the year, next year, I Shaanxi millions of people will be millions of Liukou!
The sooner we eradicate high adversity, the sooner we will have the energy to prevent disasters and help the people. ”
"You ......"
Liu Guangsheng raised his hand at the right time: "Okay!" They are all doing things for the imperial court, so why quarrel with each other and create their own suspicions, what Yan Yan said is not unreasonable, the affairs of the three provinces of Xiantai and the governor of Xiantai have suppressed bandits, but the bandits are getting bigger and bigger, which is also a fact.
During this period, if you can suppress the trouble of Shaanxi Liukou, you want to see it in your majesty, and you will also be sympathetic to the difficulties of our province, if the imperial court can help Shaanxi, this year may not be able to pass this year. ”
Hong Chengchou made a salute: "Futai is wise." ”
Although Hu Ting was still dissatisfied, he could only compromise on his face and say: "Futai is wise." ”
"That's what I said." Liu Guangsheng got up very satisfied: "Yan Yan." ”
Hong Chengchou hurriedly responded: "The lower official is here." ”
"Although the old man is the governor, but he has no right to decide, you first temporarily served as the post of the general army of Shaanxi, the relevant official letter of the order, the old man will submit to the Xiantai, the old man is about to leave for Beijing, during this period, you have to work hard, do not seek to exterminate the bandits, but also do not let the bandits spread and expand."
Hong Chengchou was excited, and felt that he was trusted and reused, so he said emotionally: "Thank you to Futai for your trust and knowledge, please rest assured that Futai will work hard and will never disappoint Futai's high expectations." ”
Liu Guangsheng bowed his head and waved his hand: "You all go down first, Hu Yushi stays." ”
The adjutants said goodbye and left, leaving only Hu Ting, who was still unhappy.
"After the old man enters Beijing, Shaanxi needs to take care of all the affairs, and you need to take care of it a lot."
Hu Ting reluctantly surrendered his hand: "Futai and relax, the lower officials can save it, if there is nothing to do, the lower officials will also retire." ”
Seeing Hu Ting get up and leave without leaving without a smile, Liu Guangsheng sighed heavily.
This Hu Ting is lazy as an official, and he doesn't care about business at all, but he only likes to discourage the enthusiasm of others.
Negative, slack.
It's not okay to do this or that, but if you want to ask him, then Hu Tingke won't be able to speak.
With such a person as an official, how can the Ming Dynasty be good?
