Chapter 458: The Great Blood Exchange

The next day, the court agreed.

Zhang Zhou appeared in the court, because the cabinet had already known about Wang Shouren's performance in advance, so from the perspective of traditional ministers, Zhang Zhou's intention to go to the court this time was obvious, that is, to fight for Wang Shouren's money and food in Datong Xiucheng.

After Zhu Youzhi personally mentioned Wang Shouren's performance.

Before Zhang Zhou could say anything, Liu Jian came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is an expedient measure to serve as the governor of military affairs such as Xuanda and other military affairs, and to concurrently serve as the governor of Datong. ”

The Cabinet struck first.

It means that since Wang Shouren proposed that he was working very hard in the position of Xuanda General System, then don't force him, not to say that he wants to step down from his position, but to find him an "assistant".

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Zhoudao and said, "Bingkuan, what do you think?" ”

From the words, in fact, the emperor has already agreed with Liu Jian's statement, after all, no matter how awesome Wang Shouren is, he has been an official in the court for less than two years, how can he be so comprehensive? Therefore, Liu Jian's proposal is not untargeted, or deliberately suppressing Wang Shouren.

But when he became the emperor, he now tends to listen to Zhang Zhou in military affairs, so he will seriously ask Zhang Zhou's opinion.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Liu Gelao's statement. It's just a question of who to send...... The minister believes that he should go with an old minister who has the qualifications of local security and the people. ”

Not only do I agree with you Liu Jian, but I also propose to you that I want to choose a qualified minister, which means that I will not fight with you.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Bingkuan, do you have any good candidates?" ”

Zhang Zhou looked at Liu Jian with a smile and said, "Let's listen to Liu Ge Lao's opinion." ”

Not to mention that Liu Jian muttered in his heart, he didn't even figure out the surrounding ministers, Zhang Zhou is so "easy to talk" today?

Liu Jian didn't care what Zhang Zhou's intentions were, and said stubbornly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister recommends Liu Yu, the envoy of Shandong." ”

From the perspective of Liu Jian's recommendation, he did not exceed his duties, it was the emperor who asked him to recommend, and in the selection of the governor of Datong, his choice was in Zhang Zhou's opinion...... is very normal, because in history, when Liu Jian was vacant as governor of Datong, it was indeed Liu Yu who was recommended.

Of course, the timing does not coincide, but there is one point, that is, Liu Yu has done a very good job in political performance on the ground.

But this person...... In the future, he will cling to Liu Jin, and he will only do decent things, not the kind of officials who are diligent and diligent in his political achievements, but an official who can pretend to be wrong.

Zhu Youzhu asked, "Bingkuan, what do you think?" ”

Obviously it is the person recommended by Liu Jian, but the emperor is still obsessed with asking Zhang Zhou's meaning, the implication is that if the frontier governor you recommend, if there is no approval from Zhang Zhou, it will be all in vain, do you really think that if you come out to recommend, it will be up to you to decide?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know much about Liu Yu, the envoy of Shandong, and he doesn't judge it well. However, since he is a person recommended by Liu Gelao, he must have his ability to govern the party, and it is inconvenient for the minister to refute. ”

Liu Jian said seriously: "If Cai Guogong thinks that this candidate is not suitable, you can speak out." ”

Zhang Zhou shook his head with a smile and said: "The time to enter the dynasty is still short, and there are very few people who know about it, as for who to use and who not to use, it still depends on the recommendation of Liu Ge Lao and other highly respected colleagues, how dare you trespass in Xia?" ”

Even though Liu Jian had expected that Zhang Zhou was "showing weakness" today, he was still a little overwhelmed.

Because he really couldn't understand Zhang Zhou's purpose in doing this.

"Liu Yu." Zhu Youzhu said, "Let me think about it again." ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Youzhi also glanced at Zhang Zhou.

probably felt that Zhang Zhou might go back and discuss with Zhang Zhou privately because it was inconvenient to oppose it in the court, and then Zhang Zhou would oppose it and recommend others again, which would still be okay.

This reflects Zhu Youji's "protection" of Zhang Zhou.

……

……

The matter of the governor of Datong seems to be tentatively appointed as Liu Yu, because there are not many officials who are familiar with Liu Yu, and it is Liu Jian who squeezed out of Zhang Zhou's "teeth" as a governor of Datong, and the traditional ministers still seem to be full of expectations for Liu Yu.

Li Rong said: "Your Majesty, Ma Zhongxi, the governor of Xuanfu, has resigned many times, and now the matter of Xuanfu's military salary is not properly managed, and the household department has asked His Majesty to send someone to Xuanfu again to take care of the affairs of Xuanfu's treasury." ”

According to the rules of Daming border towns, Xuanfu mainly exists as a base camp for the granary of the northwest.

When there was a major problem with the military salary of Xuanfu in the tenth year of Hongzhi, Liu Daxia, who was then the left servant of the household department, and the imperial history of the capital, as the governor of Xuanfu, governed the military salary, and within a year the local military salary of Xuanfu was improved, but Liu Daxia retreated bravely and chose to return to his hometown.

Ma Zhongxi because of the mediocrity of his ability, even if he has a so-called loyal and patriotic heart, but loyalty and honesty cannot be eaten, and neither can Geng Zheng, and after the northwest changed the grain and salt introduction system, the situation of military grain and grass is getting worse day by day, and Ma Zhongxi's ability is obviously not enough to overcome such a big problem.

Zhu Youzhu looked up at the ministers present again and said, "What do you have to say about the affairs of the Xuanfu Treasury?" ”

This time, before Liu Jian could come forward to recommend anyone, Zhang Zhou came out and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the military salary of the granary of Xuanfu involves the stability of the border towns in the northwest, and if it is not properly managed, it will only cause turmoil among the officers and men in the army. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Many of the ministers present were even more puzzled.

Although Liu Daxia has never been a scholar, there are many people who are familiar with him, although this person is not a stone in a pit, but he is not something that can be "bought" by Zhang Zhou's one-time recommendation.

Zhang Zhou took the initiative to recommend a person who was obviously impossible to retract, and still proposed the recommendation before Liu Jian and others, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.

Zhu Youzhu nodded and said: "Liu Qing's ability, I see it in my eyes, but I don't know how his physical condition has been recently, if there is no major problem, it is time for him to come out of the mountain again." Order......"

Before discussing with the minister, Zhu Youzhi was already ready to order someone to be sent to invite Liu Daxia to come out of the mountain.

In fact, Zhu Youzhi also admires Liu Daxia very much, who is capable and who is not, and who is the emperor will still look at it in his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions?" When Zhu Youzhu realized that he had only listened to Zhang Zhou's one-sided words, he couldn't help but make a decision, so he thought that there were still so many ministers, so he asked the minister's opinion in a fake way.

Liu Jian didn't answer this time.

...... between Liu Jian and Liu Daxia I don't have such a deep friendship myself.

Instead, it was Ma Wensheng...... and Liu Daxia can be said to be a confidant of "mountains and flowing water".

Ma Wensheng walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal. ”

In the matter of Liu Daxia's return to the dynasty, Ma Wensheng has been operating for a long time, but because of the rise of Zhang Zhou, the emperor basically only listens to Zhang Zhou alone for the military affairs in the northwest, which makes Liu Daxia's road to recovery extremely bumpy.

But now that Zhang Zhou took the initiative to let Liu Daxia replace Ma Zhongxi as the governor of Xuanfu, everything seemed so easy.

Even if Ma Wensheng knew that he came out to "second" the proposal, he could not represent the opinions of the mainstream ministers, but he still had to give the face of the ministers, and he had nothing to shy away from for the sake of his old friends.

Really.

After Marven came out to speak, the three cabinet members chose to back down first, which is equivalent to putting pressure on the rest of the officials to oppose this matter.

However, there are Zhang Zhou and Ma Wensheng who endorse Liu Daxia, and others say that no matter how much they say, it is in vain.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Make an order." ”

This time it was not as troublesome as Liu Yu to be the governor of Datong, and the emperor made a decision directly in the court.

……

……

After the court meeting, Zhu Youzhu did not have any accidents and summoned Zhang Zhou to the inner court to speak.

At the same time, in addition to Liu Jian, there were also Ma Wensheng and Zhu Hui, because Zhu Hui himself was already a member of the Listening Office, which also made Zhang Mao, a former member of the Listening Office, very unhappy.

After this summons from the inner court, Zhu Youzhu immediately issued an order.

In addition to Liu Yu officially becoming the governor of Datong, he also transferred Xiangcheng Bo Li Yan to Liaodong to cooperate with Pingjiang Bo Chen Ruiping Liaodong Jurchen.

In addition, Zhang Jun replaced Li Jun as the general army of Datong, and then Zhuang Jian as the governor of Xuanfu......

plus Wang Qiong, the governor of the partial pass who was transferred back to Beijing before...... In just two months, the imperial court changed the governor and chief military officer of Xuanda place, and Ma Zhongxi was still waiting to be transferred to the governor of the partial pass, or to other places in the nine borders...... He was also temporarily recalled to the court, and was temporarily assigned the position of the right attendant of the Criminal Department.

Although Wang Shouren is still the general system of Xuanda, his command has undergone a major change.

This is also very confusing for the soldiers of the Ming Border Army.

Obviously, everything is going well, and now it is a cold winter, and now everything should be stable, why is the imperial court so drastic and ruthless in the matter of replacing candidates?

When Zhang Zhou went to Yanwutang that day, Zhu Feng also knew about the major changes in the local personnel of Xuanda.

Zhu Feng was different from what others cared about, and when he learned that there was nothing wrong with him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay." ”

The implication is that as long as you don't let me go to the northwest again, continue to let me stay in the capital as an idle person, whatever you want.

"Zhijie, haven't you been disappointed? With your qualifications, it is more than enough to be a commander-in-chief anywhere, and many times you can even be ordered in danger. It's like this time, Your Majesty sent Pingjiang Bo to Liaodong to deter Jiannu, in fact, it is better to send you. Zhang Zhou joked with a smile.

Zhu Feng shook his head and said, "Don't, I don't have the courage of Ping Jiangbo." But if he's been looking for me lately, you're saying he hasn't seen me. ”

"Huh."

Zhang Zhou was laughing.

Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui recently "laid" Zhu Feng.

Because Chen Rui knew that he was not in good health, or that the deadline was approaching, he really wanted to get an in-law or something for Ping Jiangbo, and he had proposed to Zhu Feng a long time ago that he would marry the daughter of someone who had married him once and marry Zhu Feng as Mrs. Anbianhou.

Plus Zhu Feng is a person...... There are some sides to the personality, and many times I don't know how to refuse.

An old fox like Chen Rui seems to have settled on Zhu Feng, and every time he mentions it in front of him, he is almost to the point of talking about marriage.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Is it for marriage?" You should mention to your grandmother and Lingtang that if they don't agree, your marriage will not be finalized. ”

Zhu Feng looked at Zhang Zhou and said with a look of grievance: "Previously, Uncle Pingjiang obviously gave his daughter to Brother Zhang, why didn't Brother Zhang accept it?" ”

"Blame me?" Zhang Zhou was still laughing.

Zhu Feng lowered his head.

Of course, he knew that it was no wonder that Zhang Zhou was no wonder.

"But Zhijie, this daughter of Ping Jiangbo, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it, everyone knows your situation, who to marry or not?" Zhang Zhou continued to agitate.

Is it "who to marry is not to marry"?

In fact, it is "who is not a scourge"!

It's not that Zhang Zhouxian has nothing to do, it's because Zhang Zhou knows that the mother of Zhu Feng's future heir, Zhu Xizhong, is surnamed Chen.

Although history does not clearly say which family this woman came from, but it is also "destined by marriage", maybe Zhu Feng and Chen Rui, the daughter of a widow, are destined, and they will see the right eye in the future, and even bring Zhu Feng into the "right path" and open up the branches of the old Zhu family?

Zhu Feng said: "Brother Zhang, don't laugh at me, my marriage is a big event, I ...... I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"What else do you think about the words of your parents? It's rare that Your Majesty is very attentive to your marriage, and I don't think you have to be so picky. Zhang Zhou said, "Wouldn't it be good to get married early to reassure your family, so that no one will make irresponsible remarks about this matter?" ”

Zhu Feng said as if perfunctory: "Then let me think about it later." ”

……

……

Zhu Feng said that he would not marry again, but when Ning Tong came to Zhang Zhou in the afternoon to talk about opening a medicine shop, Zhu Feng's eyes became a little eager.

Zhang Zhou also knew.

Zhu Feng shouldn't have any other thoughts about Ning Tong, probably just treating Ning Tong as a friend, and for a person like Zhu Feng, it is rare to have a friend of the opposite sex who knows and understands him, and even once regarded as a "family" with him, which is not easy.

Ning Tong didn't even bother to look at Zhu Feng.

Married life in those years...... For Ning Tong, it's no different from a nightmare.

"Cai Guogong, I have sorted out the several prescriptions you mentioned, and I found that there are many medicinal materials, which are rarely seen on the market." Ning Tong said, "Or some have just heard of their names, and some have not even heard of their names...... Are you really sure you want to use these herbs to dispense medicines? It is said that it is within the Imperial Palace, and the inspection of medicinal materials of unknown origin is very heavy. Toxicity alone, new drug inspection will take more than half a year......"

Ning Tong seems to be a half-hung "miracle doctor".

is also because she has been in and out of the palace gate a lot recently, and she will see the nobles in the palace if she has nothing to do, plus she has the support of Zhang Zhou's disciple, everyone in the palace will give him face, and even Queen Zhang did not deliberately make it difficult for her.

Although Zhang Zhou also knew that it was impossible for Empress Zhang not to guard against this rival's best friend, or even a potential rival.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "I will make up for the medicine that I don't have, and in more than ten days, a batch of medicinal materials from Nanyang will be sent to Jingshi, some will be cultivated in the Huangzhuang official land around Jingshi, and some have been cultivated in the south." If you want to learn medicine from me, remember to do what I say, and you don't have to care about what others think. ”

"Hmm."

When Ning Tong heard this, he probably thought that Zhang Zhou was talking about Zhu Feng.

also glanced at Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng hurriedly looked away, as if the "eyes of others" had nothing to do with him.
