The reason why he wants to keep a low profile is because he rose too fast, and his foundation is too shallow compared to those old nobles, so he is particularly jealous.

Only he knows that after being promoted to the chief military officer of the Beijing camp, he has been impeached by many people, and he can point to the key every time.

And this was all thanks to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and ignoring the impeachment of him to be promoted.

At this time, he was expressing his views on the situation in the northwest to the emperor, and thinking about the purpose of the emperor summoning him alone.

Now on the ground in the northwest, the battlefield on the northern front is not to mention for the time being, and the army on the southern front can be described as a mixed bag.

There are a lot of troops drawn from the Beijing camp, the local capital division, the Xingdu division, as well as the Tibetan Tusi, the Mongolian tribes, and the Jurchens.

If you want to form a unified command and dispatch, you have to have a heavyweight general to lead the troops, at least above the governor Tongzhi, and it is best to send a governor to suppress the formation.

After listening to Ning Huanxiang's simple analysis, Zhu Xianming on the throne asked calmly: "Aiqing ...... this year It's almost fifty, right? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen will turn forty-nine in May this year!"

Zhu Xianming asked with a smile: "After sitting in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies for a few years, can you still get a horse to draw a bow now?" ”

Just listening to this sentence, Ning Huanxiang determined the emperor's meaning, so he replied: "Although the minister sits in the government to run errands, he does not dare to forget the matter of arching horses, so he has practiced from time to time...... It's just far worse than all the officials! ”

can be called Shangguan by Ning Huanxiang, and the governors of the five armies, even at this time, Ning Huanxiang did not forget to praise these people.

Of course, he didn't just brag about it, but to remind the emperor that there was no need for the northwest to let him intervene.

"I just listened to what you said, and I have a lot of insight into the situation in the northwest, and I am very pleased......

If the official achieves the level of the governor and the same knowledge, it is natural that all aspects should pay attention, and the situation in the northwest is now the most important matter for the imperial court, and Ning Huanxiang naturally knows more.

"Let you preside over the war in the northwest, can you do it?" Zhu Xianming asked solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the war in the northwest is very important, and the minister thinks that he should lead the army with important ministers and veterans, so that he can be foolproof, and the minister's qualifications are shallow and his talents are limited, so he is really afraid that he will miss His Majesty's major event!"

In fact, although it was a prominent errand to lead troops in the northwest, it was also because he was too important to tolerate mistakes, and the current governors were reluctant to go.

It's good to do a good job, but if you mess it up, it's a big problem......

For this matter, Zhu Xianming had already asked three people for questioning, and each of them was a suitable candidate he thought was suitable, but all three of them refused on the grounds of physical discomfort or other reasons.

That's why Zhu Xianming found Ning Huanxiang, who had solid military skills and enough ability to be qualified for the dispatch of the governor's northwest display.

"Aiqing's qualifications are indeed shallow, so I plan to give you a promotion and let you be the right governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion!"

Shen Zheng, the current governor of the Chinese army, is sixty-three, and he has indeed reached the age when he should retire.

This also means that the ten governors below are all staring at this position, and the probability that Ning Huanxiang will compete with others is not high.

He had a royal friendship with the emperor, and the same is true for others to get into this position.

And the sooner you sit in that position, the more opportunities you will have in the future, such as raising the title one more level.

So at this moment, when the emperor threw out the olive branch, Ning Huanxiang was a little uneasy.

"In the autumn of the eighth year of orthodoxy, he served as the governor of Tongzhi, and it has been less than four years to this day...... rashly qualified for the position of governor, I am afraid that it will not conform to the rules of the court! ”

Knowing what Ning Huanxiang thought, Zhu Xianming took a sip of the teacup, and then said slowly: "My words are the rules!" ”

"I just want you to think about whether you can do the errand I gave you!"

No one dared to say that he would win the war, Ning Huanxiang thought for a while and replied: "If Your Majesty sends your ministers to fight in the northwest, the ministers will go all out to seek peace for Your Majesty!" ”

Although the situation in the northwest is grim now, compared with the period of Shizu Jingjing, and even the battle fought by Zhu Xianming during the Chengping period, it can only be said that the scale is okay.

Therefore, although there is a risk, Ning Huanxiang is at least seventy percent sure that he can rely on the existing forces to crush Dzungar to death.

So Zhu Xianming then asked: "Tell me your plan!" ”

After being silent for a while, Ning Huanxiang spoke: "The minister thinks that he should transfer the Qinghai Xingdu Division and ......"

Zhu Xianming is also an expert in military affairs, and he only listened to part of Ning Huanxiang's plan at the beginning, and he knew that the other party's style was steady and steady.

This is also in line with Ning Huanxiang's personal temperament, after half an hour, Zhu Xianming listened to the plan, and he could only say that he was basically satisfied with it.

Now, it was time for him to make a decision, either to choose Ning Huanxiang to go to the northwest, or to choose one of the three existing governors.

"Aiqing go back first!"

"Yes...... Wechen retires! ”

Military affairs have to be carefully considered, and this is not only a military issue, but also a political consideration.

In order to constantly renew the blood of the nobles, it is very important to promote new nobles...... Zhu Xianming thought of this.

In the case that several people are suitable, when this one pops up in his heart, the result is already very clear.

"Spread My Will ......"

Hearing this, Cheng Ying, who was waiting on the side, immediately bowed down to listen, and he had to rely on him to arrange such things as the decree for a while, which also exercised his good memory.

"Grant General Ning Huanxiang Zhaowu, serve as the right governor of the Central Military Governor's Office, and be ordered to be the governor of the Northwest Military, stationed in the northwest to guard the pro-army, the Beijing camp, the capital division, the Xingdu Division and the soldiers of all departments participating in the war!"

The current situation in the northwest has gathered almost one-eighth of the imperial court's troops, which is already a very terrifying force.

And Ning Huanxiang will be the one who will be in charge of this force, but he doesn't know all this at the moment, because he is talking to Zhu Jinghong.

Zhu Jinghong accompanied the prince into Kunning Palace, and then this guy entered the small Buddha hall alone, apparently complaining to the old mother.

Impeachment continued at the court, and three more officials of the prince's family were demoted.

Now that Shui Rong is still under house arrest, seeing that the sixth child intends to implicate him, the prince can only ask the queen for help when he is worried.

"General Ning, it's rare to see you go to the Qianqing Palace, I think it will be of great use to you if you come to the Holy Lord!" Zhu Jinghong asked very bluntly.

From now on, the Gansu Metropolitan Division is responsible for coordinating the army, which is not like the structure of Armageddon, so the imperial court must select suitable generals to go into battle.

These days, when the emperor sees those high-ranking officials, Zhu Jinghong is paying special attention, after all, this is related to his next planning.

Ning Huanxiang replied calmly: "I just asked about my opinion on the northwest, and the minister's knowledge is shallow...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult for His Majesty to reuse! ”

"Why should the general be humble, you started with military merits, and now no one in the army knows about it!"

At this point, Zhu Jinghong patted you Ning Huanxiang's shoulder, and then said: "If my father doesn't use you, then he really doesn't know anyone!" ”

Although he knew what kind of person Zhu Jinghong was, when he heard his vain discussion that the emperor didn't know who he was, Ning Huanxiang still felt very outrageous.

But he could only pretend not to hear, and talked useless nonsense to Zhu Jinghong, and the two walked outside the palace together.

In fact, Zhu Jinghong knew that Ning Huanxiang's qualifications were poor, so he didn't have much hope for him to become the governor of the northwest, and he was just familiar.

…………

On April 20, the twelfth year of orthodoxy, the imperial court officially issued an edict, and Ning Huanxiang could be described as a strong counterattack and became the hot governor of the northwest.

And the three who couldn't get rid of it were somewhat annoyed at the moment, because they didn't want to go, but wanted the emperor to force them to go.

In this way, even if the war in the northwest was unfavorable, they could bargain with the emperor.

If you win, you will command well, and if you lose, you will blame the emperor for forcing them on the battlefield, so they are invincible.

However, in the end, Ning Huanxiang was promoted to pick peaches, which made their plans come to naught, and the three of them were all sulking in the house.

At the same time, the emperor also appointed Liang Qian, the deputy imperial envoy of the capital, and Huang Qing, the eunuch of the imperial eunuch, as the supervisors, which was equivalent to building the northwest balance team.

And Liang Qian, the deputy imperial envoy of the capital, was recommended by the prince, which is somewhat of the background of the East Palace, and his appointment as the supervisor of the army has some impact on the court situation.

In the past few days, the battle between the crown prince and King Rui has implicated many officials, and some people from the court to the local government have been affected.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Sun Shaozu, he is wrapped in joy at the moment.

Xiangwangfu had sent someone to inform him that he would rush to the northwest with Zhu Jinghong in a few days, and what he had been thinking about day and night had come true.

So this guy immediately cleaned up and planned to go to Xiangwangfu to thank him, after all, Zhu Jinghong was his only chance to recover.

When Sun Shaozu came to the palace of King Xiang with a shy face, he happened to meet Zhu Jinghong who was about to go out, so he immediately greeted him.

"Ministers and grandsons Shaozu, meet the prince!" Sun Shaozu stood at the foot of the steps and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Jinghong took the horsewhip and slowly came down, today he is going to go to the flag bearer, and then select 200 people from them to be the guard.

These guards of the palace will not go to the northwest with him this time, so he has to choose someone again.

Descending the steps, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Got the news?" ”

Hooking his waist and following behind Zhu Jinghong, Sun Shaozu said slowly: "I just got the news, thinking that this is the grace of the prince, the minister immediately came to thank him!" ”

"Okay, I understand your intentions, go back!" Zhu Jinghong said calmly.

"Lord Wang, are you going out? I wish to wait before and after the saddle! ”

"What can you serve?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.

Sun Shaozu's mind was running rapidly, and soon he thought of a way, and saw him walk to the side of the BMW Black Wind, and the next moment he lay directly on the ground.

"Lord Wang, please get on the horse!" Sun Shaozu bowed his stiff back.

I have to say that Sun Shaozu has no lower limit like this, which really surprised Zhu Jinghong.

People who have no lower limit can use it as long as they have the ability, and even better use it in some cases...... Zhu Jinghong thought so.

"In the future, you can do things well, and you don't have to do these virtual ...... Get up! Zhu Jinghong said calmly.

"Yes...... The king's teachings, the ministers must remember! ”

Immediately, Zhu Jinghong didn't say much, he directly turned over and whipped away, Sun Shaozu watched him disappear at the end of the long street, and then turned around and left Xiangwang's Mansion.

Today he was in a particularly good mood, sweeping away the haze of the dark clouds in the past, so he planned to go to the Qinglou to play.

From being dismissed to the present, he has not really relaxed, even on the wedding night, he is thinking about the future.

Thinking of the wedding night, he thought of Xia Jingui, and secretly sighed that this mother-in-law was indeed useful, and achieved his wish for him through the relationship of the Xia family.

"I knew I should have married her sister!" Sun Shaozu was a little disappointed.

When Sun Shaozu casually found a place to go, it happened that he met Jia Lian, and the two sat together at the latter's invitation.

After all, he and Rong Guogong are also world friends, and Sun Shaozu also went to the Jia family for help before, but in the end there was no follow-up.

If he got what he wanted today, how could he not show off, so that this so-called noble and noble family could see that he could mix well without relying on them.

However, Sun Shaozu's bragging words made Jia Lian feel a little unbalanced when he heard it.

He was born much better than Sun Shaozu, and he was about the same age, but now he is still working as a guard in the palace.

But Sun Shaozu, not only had he been a commander with real power before, but after being dismissed, he used his wife to catch Zhu Jinghong's relationship and ushered in a chance to recover.

Compared with others, his so-called noble son is really too wasteful.

Therefore, even if this meal was invited by Sun Shaozu, it still made Jia Lian drink extremely uncomfortable, and finally found an excuse to leave without even doing it.

After returning home drunk, Jia Lian was about to fall into bed to rest, but Wang Xifeng came over again, obviously dissatisfied with him going out to drink flower wine.

"The second master is so interested!" Wang Xifeng stood on the side of the bed, his face was very ugly.

Glancing at Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian felt angry for no reason, so he was dissatisfied: "It's just going out to drink with friends, don't be yin and yang here!" ”

"If you have time to find trouble with me, you might as well do your own thing first!"

People who have done bad things dare to accuse themselves, and the fire in Wang Xifeng's heart is even greater.

"What do you mean by that? I have sorted out the east and west mansions clearly, and the one in the mansion does not praise me for being shrewd and capable? Wang Xifeng asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Jia Lian bounced up directly from the bed, pointed at Wang Xifeng and scolded, "Damn it...... That's the last thing I like to hear!

"East and West, East and West...... You always think that others praise you for what you can do, but have you ever thought about planning for our little family? ”

"Sun Shaozu, who came to our house to ask for support, took the daughter of the Osmanthus Xia family, and directly took the relationship with Princess Xiang, and now he can seek recovery again......"

"If you look at you, you know how much benefit you have given me in this little place in the house?"

Jia Lian's accusation was full of his true feelings, so much so that Wang Xifeng introspected.

However, when she thought of returning to Xiangwangfu, she thought of the meeting with Zhu Jinghong a few days ago, and afterwards she could be sure that she was slighted by this master.

Thinking of the other party's actions that day, Wang Xifeng felt ashamed, so that his face turned a little red.

"Know red-faced? Know you're at fault? Jia Lian was somewhat unforgiving at this time.

"You don't have the ability to do it yourself, but you blame me!" Wang Xifeng has such a strong temperament, how could he bow his head to Jia Lian at this moment.

What's more, she herself thinks that this blame Jia Lian has no ability, and she doesn't have a half-official position by relying on the prince.

So the husband and wife made trouble for a while, and finally broke up unhappily.

Jia Lian fell asleep by himself, while Wang Xifeng sat in the outer hall sulking, and at the same time recalled Jia Lian's words.

Although she blamed Jia Lian for not being capable, Wang Xifeng himself had to admit that the prince and Yuanchun were indeed not very reliable, and they didn't say anything about bringing the Jia family for so long.

Since the East Palace can't be counted on for the time being, handing over the Xiangwang Mansion has become a good option.

Yuan Chun is Baoyu's own sister, she can't be the second master as the uncle of the queen's country, and it is not clear who this Rongguo Mansion will be in the future, and I should indeed give my family some benefits...... Wang Xifeng thought carefully.

I really should go around this Xiangwang Mansion more, after all, the princess is my cousin, am I not as good as those outsiders in the Xia family?
