Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 582

"This..." Zhang Li pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Isn't this tearing down people's families? It's bad for the commander-in-chief's reputation. Just take the two children to the mansion, and his mother is very willing to come here."

Li Jing raised his eyes to look at Zhang Li, and frowned slightly, knowing that Zhang Li didn't want to give Dong Ping a heavy sentence.

But he couldn't handle this case all by himself. After thinking about it, Li Jing nodded slightly and said, "Let's do it according to your wishes."

"That humble job will resign first." Zhang Li hurriedly said.

Li Jing nodded slightly.

After Zhang Li came out of the study, Li Jing sighed and said, "Zhang Li is a talented person, but his courage is a bit lacking. If he has more courage, he will be released to serve as the chief envoy of a province without any problem."

Yang Liufeng thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "It depends on which province he is placed in. If he is placed in Shaanxi, Henan and Jiangnan provinces, it is really not suitable for Zhang Li to go. But if he is placed in Sichuan, etc. As for the land, the students think that Zhang Li is the most suitable candidate."

"Sichuan? Do you think it's appropriate for Zhang Li to serve as the chief envoy of Sichuan?" Li Jing was slightly taken aback.

Yang Liufeng said: "Sichuan's local forces are intertwined. If people like Chen Dahu and Liu Erleng are sent there, I'm afraid Sichuan will be turned upside down in a few days. Zhang Li's character will certainly not."

Li Jing waved his hand: "There are many ethnic groups in Sichuan, especially the situation in southern Sichuan is complicated. The so-called one trigger affects the whole body. Once there is a change, we have to fall into it. Because of the many problems in Sichuan, we are not yet able to solve this problem. I didn’t implement the New Deal in Sichuan before. After two years, we’re almost ready.”

"That's right, it will be difficult once the local ethnic groups are stirred up." Yang Liufeng said hastily.

Li Jingjing nodded: "The terrain in southern Sichuan is extremely complicated. Most of the local people live near the mountains and forests. If there is a civil uprising, the people will definitely hide in the mountains and forests. Our army is not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and Sichuan's climate It is very different from the north, and it is definitely not possible to settle the battle quickly. If the war drags on for too long, many unexpected things will happen.”

Yang Liufeng smiled, and Li Jing said that he must have thought of something unexpected.

After waving his hand, Li Jing continued, "I don't care about Sichuan's affairs for the time being, as long as there is no chaos and the current situation can be maintained."

He found a few pieces of paper from the book case, Li Jing flipped through them, handed them to Yang Liufeng and said, "Take a look, do you think it's feasible?"

Yang Liufeng took it and looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "The commander-in-chief wants to set up a material distribution center in Tianjin Wei?"

Li Jing nodded with a smile: "I didn't tell you a year ago, I'm afraid you will have an uneasy life this year if you know."

Yang Liufeng sighed softly and said: "The commander-in-chief must have considered these ideas when Tianjin was suffering from health problems. The commander-in-chief was afraid that we would have an uneasy life in this new year. In the end, what we should do was done by the commander-in-chief." .”

Li Jing smiled and said: "You have more things to do. Well, if you think it is feasible, discuss it with Wujie and others, and then prepare as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll discuss with Wu Jie and the others in a while." Yang Liufeng said hastily.

"This project is not small, and the treasury doesn't have much money right now. You can discuss it with your wife and ask her to pay some money." Li Jing said.

Yang Liufeng nodded. Since Li Jing said so, the matter is basically settled. All he has to do is to discuss with Fang Fang and others how to handle this errand.

After Yang Liufeng left, Li Jing rubbed his forehead and sighed softly.

What Zhang Li and Yang Liufeng said just now, Li Jing keenly felt that the two seemed to be very close.

In fact, not only these two people, including Shen Zheng, have their own small circle.There are no problems with these small circles for the time being, but as this circle expands, power conflicts will inevitably arise in the future.At that time, how to balance the interests of all parties will be another headache.

In fact, not only civil servants, but even the army, why not?
Now there are six major factions in the army, Cao Wenzhao's, Hong Chengchou's, Lu Xiangsheng's, Sun Meng's, Chen Guozhu's, and Sun Chuanting's.Presumably Gao Qi has seen that the six factions are doing their own thing, so he tried his best to suppress Zhang Chu, and he didn't want another branch of the army to appear, which would cause him a headache.

But Gao Qi didn't understand after all, what was his purpose for letting him promote Zhang Chu.

Shaking his head, Li Jing turned back to Xiao Jiu and said, "Go and invite Gao Qi, I have something to discuss with him."

Xiao Jiu agreed for a lifetime, and hurriedly arranged for guards to invite Gao Qi.

After a while, Gao Qiji stepped into the study.

Giving a salute to Li Jing, Gao Qi smiled and said, "Marshal, this New Year's Day hasn't passed yet, so you're not here to discuss business with me, are you?"

Li Jing smiled, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Hehe, I want to have a drink with you, and discuss something with you by the way."

Gao Qi was puzzled when he heard the words: "Just the two of us?"

"Yes, just the two of us." Li Jing smiled.

"You didn't even call Fifth Brother and Zhuzi?" Gao Qi asked.

Li Jing shook his head and smiled, "No call."

Gao Qi silently nodded upon hearing this.

Patting Gao Qi's shoulder lightly, Li Jing smiled and said, "Don't think so much, I just want to chat with you, with Brother Wu and Zhuzi here, it's drinking."

Gao Qi smiled and said, "That's right."

Li Jing smiled, turned back and said to Xiao Jiu: "Go to the kitchen and tell me, come over with a few small dishes, and then bring the century-old wine I kept."

"Hehe, on the first day of the new year, the brothers were always thinking about your hundred-year-old wine, but you just didn't take it out. I don't want to taste it today." Gao Qi laughed.

Li Jing said with a smile: "There is only one jug of wine, it's not enough to drink."

Gao Qi nodded with a smile.

After pondering for a while, Gao Qi asked: "Is there anything the commander needs me to do?"

Seeing that Gao Qi was a bit impatient, Li Jing smiled and said, "No hurry, I'll talk about it later, drink tea first."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured Gao Qi a cup of tea.

Seeing that Gao Qi was a little nervous, Li Jing smiled and said, "It's a good thing, don't think wildly."

Gao Qi smiled, picked up the teacup, blew on the floating tea lightly, and slowly took a sip.

After a while, Xiao Jiu entered the study with the wine jar in one hand and the food box in the other.

After tidying up the desk, he took out the dishes from the food box and put them on the table, and poured a glass of wine for Li Jing and Gao Qi, Xiao Jiu then exited the study and gently closed the door.

"This kid is getting more and more sensible." Gao Qi laughed.

"Xiao Jiu is not bad, she is getting more and more stable." Li Jing smiled.

Gao Qi picked up the wine glass, took a deep breath and said: "Good wine, the smell of wine will make you intoxicated. Marshal, I will offer you a glass of flowers."

"Hehe, it's just you and me here, I don't like to hear you calling me handsome." Li Jing raised his wine glass and laughed.

Gao Qi smiled and said: "Brother, brother, to tell you the truth, the majesty of brother is getting stronger and stronger, and the call of brother is getting harder and harder."

"Brother, do you think this is a good thing? If this continues, I will gradually become a lonely person." Li Jing shook his head and sighed.

After drinking the wine in the cup, Li Jing continued: "A year ago, did you issue the order I asked you to promote Zhang Chu?"

"I've already drawn up the promotion paperwork, but I think it's more appropriate to promote after the next year, so I didn't issue it before the year. I plan to send the promotion paperwork to Zhang Chu in the next two days." Gao Qi said hurriedly.

Li Jing glanced at Gao Qi, shook his head slightly, and said, "Brother, I understand what you're thinking, but your actions are inappropriate. Have you ever thought that if I'm not here, you won't be able to hold me?" How can you control those arrogant soldiers and powerful generals with military power? If you can't control the situation, have you thought about what will happen to this country?"

Gao Qi said with a smile: "Brother, you are worrying too much. The elder brother is in his prime, and he is a few years younger than me. Why do you start thinking about such a problem? In another 30 years, it will be almost the same if you think about it again. "

Li Jing shook his head: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. When I am in this position, some issues have to be considered in advance. For example, the cabinet, you should be able to see that if I am gone, Hengchen and my father-in-law They are too old to take over my position, so there are only three people who can take my place, Bo Ying, Shen Xing and Jun Yang. Who do you think is the most suitable to take over? See if we have the same opinion?"

"This... big brother, with all due respect, I don't think the three of them are suitable. I think the most suitable candidate is the eldest son." Gao Qi said.

Li Jing glared at Gao Qi: "I'm discussing important matters with you, what nonsense are you talking about! It's really hard for you to think of letting a kid be the chief assistant of Daming."

Gao Qi said with a smile: "Brother is not talking nonsense, no matter who takes the position of commander-in-chief, others will definitely not accept it, only the eldest son takes this position to convince everyone."

Li Jing shook his head: "Convincing the public? Convincing the public? It's just because of my shadow. After a few years, no one will be convinced. If you want to convince the public, you must have real skills, real credit and political achievements." Row.

If you really think about An Guo, let him start from the bottom, accumulate some experience, and make some contributions.Twenty years later, when he has fully matured and has the ability to govern, it will not be too late to introduce it.

But I’m not talking about 20 years from now, I’m talking about now, if something happens to me now, who will take the helm of Ming Dynasty? "

"Brother, let's not talk about this when it's Chinese New Year, okay? It's too unlucky! Come, let's have a drink, brother, I wish you good health and a long life." Gao Qi laughed.

Li Jing frowned, and said displeasedly: "Brother, I'm not joking with you, what I said is true, don't keep interrupting!"

Gao Qi was startled when he heard the words, looked at Li Jing carefully for a while, and asked cautiously: "Brother, is there something wrong with your body?"

Li Jing waved his hand: "No problem, I'm just preparing for something unexpected. Well, let's make an analogy, so you won't have any scruples anymore."

Hearing this, Gao Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that brother's body is fine, I was shocked just now."
