In the cabinet, Yan Song sat in his place, and Xia Yan and Xu Zan sat aside.

Since the incident of asking for rain, his position has been further consolidated, and Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards him has been much better.

The disadvantage is that from that moment on, Jiajing, who has seen the methods of the real immortals, really can't persuade anyone to come back.

However, Yan Song recalled Zu's evaluation of Emperor Jiajing, who was smart, sensitive, and stubborn.

It seems that originally, the chance of persuasion to come back is not great......

Moreover, the current Jiajing has a bit of a tendency to do its own thing with the ministers, specifically-

You govern your country, I cultivate my immortals, as long as the final decision is in my hands, what about you, I don't care about you, but I don't interfere in my immortal cultivation.

No matter what, it's better than messing around.

Yan Song thought about it and felt a little more relaxed again.

He picked up the piece and looked at it.

The western region and the western part of the prison were invaded by the Western Mongols, and a small force invaded the bondage, while the main force went south to break through the Great Wall and ravaged the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

And the leader of all this is the grandson of Dayan Khan, Altan Khan, Alta, who, after Dayan Khan, once again defeated Warat and became the new ruler of the steppe.

And in order to avoid the training tactics of the Ming army, he strategically temporarily abandoned Southern Mongolia and restored its strength to the north, and the Ming army was also happy to be peaceful, and it was really dangerous to go deep into the grassland.

After all, arrears of military salaries, the old tradition of the Ming Dynasty, there was even a mutiny in the Datong Army because of arrears of salaries, the chief officer died in the mutiny, and Datong, one of the nine sides, was directly out of control, and now there is no money, and it is common to have no motivation to fight.

On the other hand, they have begun to be disobedient, and several more states have broken away from the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Song rubbed his eyebrows, what an eventful time!

He looked at the battle report, and in a series of lost battles, there was a name that was particularly dazzling, and it was a rare victory.

He called the head of the military department and asked him about this person.

Mao Bowen, the secretary of the military department, is a very capable person, and he immediately turned him out of his memory:

"Hu Zongxian, although he is silent, but he has a good mind, he is a rare talent, and he also tried his best to quell the rebellion in the previous Datong rebellion."

"After several battles in the past, he has been promoted to the staff of the Ministry of War, and now he is in the Beijing Division."

Yan Song frowned:

"Now that the war in Northern Xinjiang is in full swing, it is too wasteful for such talents to serve as a Langzhong in Beijing."

"Tell him to come to me."

Hu Zongxian soon got the news that the head of the dynasty wanted to see him, and he was a little surprised.

Although he has made certain achievements in Datong, it is not enough to get into the eyes of a minister at the level of Shoufu with such a record. Of course, he didn't know that he had received a high evaluation from the military department.

But since he has been summoned by Shousuke, he has to seize this opportunity.

He took out a jewelry box from his cupboard and opened it, and inside it was the gold and silver of jewelry he had purchased with the money he had saved over the years, which was one of the few riches in the family.

But after thinking about it, he put it down again.

There have long been rumors in the DPRK and China that Shoufu does not accept corruption, and Hu Zongxian does not want to leave a bad impression on him.

Although it is rumored that Shousuke only looks at ability, and he will not hate not using you because you bribed him, but why should he be disliked?

So he went alone.

And Yan Song found Yan Ling in advance and asked him to investigate this person, and the results he got made him quite satisfied, this is indeed a person who can do practical things.

Hu Zongxian, who came from the second day, also made him appreciate the other party's good at judging the situation.

Yan Song has been in the court for so many years, and he has different ways of communicating with different courtiers, since he is a capable minister in front of him, he also went straight to the point and asked him about his views on side affairs.

"There are many factors involved in the failure of the previous war."

Hu Zongxian immediately opened his mouth and said, he had already thought about these things thousands of times in his heart, and at this time, he simply said:

"Although all the ministers were impeached, and the governor himself also pleaded for the guilt, but I believe that the crime of this defeat is not the Governor of Xuanda, Lord Zhai."

"Since he was transferred, he has done a very good job of cultivating tuntian, building border walls, and recruiting and training soldiers."

"The reason for the defeat is that the parties are not well arranged, and many troops are chaotic and cowardly, and second, the Tatar combat strength is also beyond our army's imagination.

"Your Majesty is urging Lord Zhai to eliminate the border troubles, but this is a long-term plan, not for a while, our army attacked in a hurry, so that the counterattack failed, and under many factors, it would lead to such an outcome."

"The point of guarding against me is also ......"

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed, and Hu Zongxian gushed endlessly, explaining in detail his various understandings of border affairs.

Yan Song nodded secretly when he heard this, although he is not in charge of military affairs, but after all, as the first assistant, he naturally has little contact with military affairs, he is not a stranger to these, and he can hear that the other party has a very good military talent for the war on the border of the Ming Dynasty.

He had already thought about the official position he was going to give Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian was also clever, seeing that Yan Song didn't ask again, he knew that this conversation was over, so he retired, and Yan Song also expressed his appreciation for him, which made Hu Zongxian very excited.

I finally met a nobleman, has my talent been put to use? He thought.

……

Hu Zongxian didn't expect that he would be looked up to like Yan Song like this.

He originally felt that he might be able to know any of the same people in Datong, and it was just right.

But after Yan Song talked to him that day, he recommended him directly to Emperor Jiajing.

After reading Yan Song's description of him, Emperor Jiajing also felt that it was quite good, so he directly promoted Hu Zongxian's official.

In the end, he got the position of governor of Datong and supervising military affairs.

The right is the imperial history, the four products, not to mention the governor, who has great power and is in charge of the military and political power of Datong.

This is obviously caused by Yan Song's promotion, which is an exceptional promotion.

Hu Zongxian directly went from a small man in the military department to become a local magistrate, an existence that thousands of people look up to.

The moment he got the news, his heart was very excited, and after waiting for a long time, he finally stepped onto the stage and could make a big move!

And the person who achieved all this, Yan Song, was also remembered by him in the bottom of his heart.

That's his nobleman.
