Ming politicians

Five days have passed, time is very precious, but Su Tiancheng is waiting in the capital, there is nothing he can do if he is in a hurry.He knew that the battles in the imperial court must be very fierce. In many cases, Zhu Youjian did not do whatever he wanted. After so many years of collision between imperial power and ministerial power, to a certain extent, the ministerial power even occupied Upwind.

On October [-]th, the eunuch came to Su Tiancheng's mansion and told Su Tiancheng to go to the Forbidden City on October [-]th.

Early in the morning, Su Tiancheng set off from home and hurried to the Forbidden City. He knew that the result would definitely come out.

During this time in the capital, Su Tiancheng did not even see Hong Chengchou. It is said that Hong Chengchou and his party were waiting in the capital camp, and they were not allowed to go out for nothing, and they were not allowed to contact other court ministers. From this point, it can be seen that the struggle within the court It was fierce. Hong Chengchou came to the capital on behalf of Jiang Ningying, and he shouldered different responsibilities. If he expressed his support for a certain official, wouldn't it be to disrupt the situation in the capital.

"Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered..."

Su Tiancheng knelt in front, Hong Chengchou knelt behind him, including Li Yichuan, Liu Guoneng and others, all knelt. This time, the imperial decree was not a single one, including rewards to Jiang Ningying, disposal of Gao Yingxiang, and punishment of Gao Yingxiang. The most important thing about the adjustment of Shaanxi officials is the appointment of some vassal princes and scholars of the vassal princes.

Zhu Youjian still didn't show up, and it was Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who was in charge of announcing the imperial decree.

After three consecutive edicts, Su Tiancheng's kneeling body became numb, and it took a full hour to process them.

This is actually Su Tiancheng asking for it himself, no wonder others, if they didn't apply to come to the capital, there wouldn't be such a thing, but this time they came to the capital.The harvest is great, even if you kneel for a whole day, it is worthwhile.

The reward Jiang Ningying received was 100 million taels of silver, which solved a big problem.Although the Jiangning Camp itself still has some savings, under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the Jiangning Camp to have too much income. It is still very difficult to rely solely on merchants such as Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui.The military salary allocated by the imperial court is equivalent to a drop in the bucket.

As for Gao Yingxiang's fate, it was already decided from the moment he was captured alive, this time.Gao Yingxiang was sentenced to death without anyone's advice.

The adjustment of officials in Shaanxi, as well as the arrangement of the vassal king and the prince's son, are a bit strange.

After receiving the imperial decree, Su Tiancheng prepared to return to Shaanxi, and Hong Chengchou and others followed him.

Su Tiancheng is still not ready to take his family to Shaanxi, and there are many things ahead.There are too many uncertain factors, and the family members are temporarily in the capital.Conditions are much better, there is no need to go to Shaanxi to endure hardships, but all the wives are a little unhappy, they all want to follow Su Tiancheng to Shaanxi, especially Gu Hengbo, because there is no burden of children.Following Su Tiancheng is a matter of course.

After staying in the capital for such a long time, Hong Chengchou is not isolated from the world. Some bigwigs in the court can still meet him if they want to see him.Maybe because of some things, Hong Chengchou seemed much calmer, even when he was listening to the imperial decree, he didn't show much expression.

"Master Hong, what experience do you have when you come to the capital this time?"

"Do you want to listen to the truth, or listen to lies?"

"Hehe, the relationship between us is not a day or two. You can see what I want to hear."

"I'm telling you the truth. It's not necessarily a good thing for the Jiangning camp to come to Shaanxi. If you knew about this situation, you might as well stay in Henan. I look forward to the Jiangning camp completely eradicating the bandits within half a year, and I have made it very clear that as long as the bandits can be wiped out within half a year, the imperial court can be responsible for the money that needs to be spent, no matter how much, such conditions, It's really tempting."

"Oh, how did you answer that?"

"My lord has underestimated me. How can I answer such a big matter easily? My attitude is very clear. My lord is the commander of the Jiangning battalion and has the right to make decisions. I am just the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion. , These specific matters cannot be expressed at will.”

"If you say that, don't you offend those adults?"

Hong Chengchou's expression became serious, and he spoke word by word.

"I have experienced a lot, and I have already seen through it. If I hadn't come to Jiangning Camp, maybe I, a sinner, would have been demoted to the people. I have been fighting bandits for so many years. After coming to Jiangning Camp, my heart has always been very refreshing. , without any constraints, and being able to make decisions based on the situation on the battlefield, this is the real conquest. In fact, my inner thoughts have always felt that the rogues will eventually fall into the hands of the Jiangning camp, not to mention the rogues, Even the post-Gold Tartars will fall under the banner of the Jiangning Camp."

"Jiangningying has such a good prospect, how can it be easily injured? It's not like this has happened before. Cao Wenzhao is the best illustration. When it comes to being brave and good at fighting, who doesn't know Cao Wenzhao? The name of Cao Wenzhao shouted that Tiger Cao was coming, and he couldn’t dodge it in time. Unfortunately, because of some internal affairs in the court, Cao Wenzhao actually led a thousand soldiers to fight against tens of thousands of bandits. Under such circumstances, nothing happened That's a rare thing."

"Now, I already regard Jiangning Camp as my home, and I will resist anything that damages Jiangning Camp, no matter who the other party is."

After Hong Chengchou said so much in one breath, he suddenly cupped his fists to salute Su Tiancheng.

"My lord, I used to hold the title of minister of the Ministry of War, the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and my rank is not low, but I am always a little nervous. I don't know when, because of something, I suddenly fell down. I came to the Jiangning camp. There is no such thing. After such a long time, I finally understood that the mind of the adults is admirable, allowing me to concentrate on military affairs and not worry about other things. All the chores are undertaken by the adults. , it didn't involve me at all."

"I was originally the supervisor of the Jiangning Camp, and I have committed a crime. My lord's influence in the imperial court is at its peak. I don't need to be so polite in front of me, but my lord let me command the Jiangning camp. This time, I wiped out a hundred thousand bandits. I just commanded the specific battle, and many preparations were done by the adults, but in the memorial, the adults attribute all the credit to me, I am really ashamed."

"This time, the imperial court paid special attention to the victory of the Jiangning Battalion. Many adults expressed optimism, thinking that the eradication of the bandits is just around the corner, but I don't agree with this view. Many adults don't know the situation in Shaanxi. If they can't Fundamentally governing and eradicating bandits is unlikely.”

"No matter what the occasion, no matter who I face, I always stick to this view."

"I don't have any specific control over the civil affairs of Shaanxi Province, but I have always paid attention to them. The Jiangning camp came to Shaanxi and was linked to the fate of Shaanxi. I just listened to the imperial decree, and I still have to deal with the arrangements for Shaanxi officials." Some views, I have always felt that the chief envoy, the inspector, and the commander should be adjusted. Who knows that they have not moved this time. The development ideas of adults are different from their understanding. This is not to think that Did it create an obstacle?"

"The current situation in Shaanxi has already demonstrated this point. Pu Kaiqiang, Zuo Xiaohu and Tan Zongliang are all lacking in ability. This is the actual situation, but the cabinet ignored it. I heard from Qu Qingze that Pu Kaiqiang even thought that because The Jiangning camp has won the victory, and the government and officials at all levels must manage the people more strictly, which is simply the opposite."

"My lord went to Shaanxi because he was ordered to be in danger. At such a critical moment, the imperial court should unconditionally support you. Who knew that such a drama would come about..."

Hong Chengchou said a lot. This is the most Hong Chengchou has said since the two of them worked together. Judging from Hong Chengchou's words, he already fully supports Su Tiancheng.

When Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Su Tiancheng spoke with a smile.

"Lord Hong, life is unsatisfactory out of ten. If you think that everything goes well, it is unlikely. Think about it, if the court followed through on all the matters I proposed, wouldn't it appear that the court has lost its prestige? Especially when it comes to the appointment of officials, for such a big event, the imperial court must pay attention to balance, and it must take care of Shaanxi, and it must also consider the situation in other places."

Hong Chengchou was a little surprised, looking at Su Tiancheng, he couldn't understand why Su Tiancheng would say that.

"Lord Hong, don't think too much. The adjustment of Shaanxi officials is generally beneficial to us. All the people who followed me to Shaanxi have been arranged. At least we can control the level of prefect and prefect. As for The following counties still need to take their time, so don’t worry too much.”

"The imperial court also urged me, hoping that the Jiangning camp could wipe out the bandits within half a year, but I blocked them back. The time I gave was two years. In fact, this time is also very tense. If there is a slight negligence, we will not be able to Do it, so we need to work hard, and we can't slack off in the slightest."

"After returning to Shaanxi, your main energy is to manage the Jiangning camp well. In two years, the Jiangning camp needs to expand to 6 troops, and this scale will be maintained in the future. The Jiangning camp has more than 7 soldiers, which is close to [-]. The source of troops is not very worrying, the main thing is the supply side, only when Shaanxi can be built well can it be possible to maintain the expenditure of the Jiangning battalion."

"My energy may have to be transferred to people's livelihood. At least within a year, I will initially change the situation in Shaanxi Province, so I need to work hard on you."

"We will work together to completely change the situation in Shaanxi Province within three years. However, we should not think about the things of happiness. There are still many tasks waiting for us." (To be continued...)
