Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Seeing Yang Sichang's sincerity and fear, Chongzhen was satisfied, and he tried to comfort him with a few words.

After offering a seat and tea, Chongzhen asked, "In my opinion, who should supervise Huguang?"

Speaking of which, Fang Kongzhao is indeed a qualified bureaucrat. In terms of ability, he is much stronger than Wang Qiaonian, Ding Qirui, and Li Xianfeng from Henan. An incompetent person like Sichuan governor Shao Jiechun can't keep up with flattery.

Among the governors, that is, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying can compare with them, and Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou are above them.

But when he thought of Fu Zonglong's recommendation of this person, Yang Sichang became angry. He thought about it in his mind, remembered the few small defeats in the Huguang area, and then played it to Chongzhen. [

Although Fang Kongzhao had won many battles and lost few battles, Chongzhen, who played Yang Sichang's performance, knew it, and immediately said angrily: "Fang Kongzhao is so incompetent, he should be severely punished."

Yang Sichang knew that the Fang family was also a prominent family and had a deep relationship with Donglin Fushe, so there was no need to make more enemies at such a time, so he replied: "Now that Huguanggang has suffered a major defeat, and people are uncertain, let's look at Fang Kongzhao's future actions. Let’s talk about performance.”

"Well, that's fine."

Chongzhen nodded, took a deep look at Yang Sichang, and asked, "Do you have any other candidates to recommend, sir?"

Yang Sichang's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly stood up and played back: "The matter of recommendation is very important. I have previously made the recommendation inhumane by Meng Lang. Now I implore the emperor to allow you to think carefully before playing."

"That's what you said."

An imperceptible look of disappointment flashed across Chongzhen's eyes, but it was fleeting and Yang Sichang didn't notice it.

The emperor asked again: "Yesterday, the governor of Denglai, the commander-in-chief, and the deputy commander-in-chief reported that dozens of officials below the supervisory military road in the Denglai area were all spies from the East. Soldier repression, no matter how I look at this matter, it looks like a military general is domineering, and civil officials are under his control, I think Zhang Shouren is still loyal, why does Zuo Liangyu act like Zuo Liangyu after returning to Denglai?"

Yang Sichang knew that the emperor hated Zuo Liangyu deeply, and wished he could be executed by Ling Chi, but Zuo Liangyu was indiscriminate between soldiers and bandits, and if he was pushed hard, he would definitely rebel.

Chongzhen's dissatisfaction is very obvious when talking about Denglai in such a tone.

If Wu Changshi hadn't gone to see Yang Sichang yesterday, this is a good time to make trouble. Yang Sichang was upset and replied: "This matter is more complicated. Rong Chen will play it after he knows the details."

"That's right, sir, you can step back."

"Yes, I retire."

When he came out after paying his respects, Yang Sichang suddenly felt relieved.

This opportunity is really good, and it is also a great opportunity to get revenge on Zhang Shouren, how could I let it go lightly, I am really confused...

……

……

In the evening, Xue Guoguan also summoned Lin Wenyuan in his study.

"I heard you're going back to Fushan?"

Xue Guoguan asked right away.

Lin Wenyuan nodded with a smile, and replied: "Yes, I have been out for more than a year. I have been in the capital for so long, and I miss my parents, wife and children at home."

"Blind, can we bring them here? As long as you want, you can get the title of a general in the Beijing camp. Even recommending you as a lieutenant general is very easy. A lieutenant general is irrelevant."

The deputy general of the Beijing camp used to be the commander-in-chief of the foreign town, but at this time, he is far less powerful and rich than the general of the foreign town. It is really a pediatric matter.

"No, thank you, Mr. Ge, for your kindness."

Lin Wenyuan laughed softly: "The lower official is a person with no ambitions. He just wants to drink the water of his hometown again. His parents, wife and children are reunited by his side, which is better than anything else."

Xue Guoguan knew that his words were insincere. In the past year or so, this young man has changed from jerky to mellow, and he is good at dancing. .

Such people say that they go home just to have a reunion life, only ghosts believe it.

Speaking of it, Lin Wenyuan is one of the most capable talents Xue Guoguan has seen in his life, and many performances are enough to surprise him.

It's no wonder that Lin Wenyuan himself is capable, and there are more and more talents under him. The annual budget is already hundreds of thousands. If he can't manage a huge potential force like this, it will really be a waste of his ability.

Some people can do earth-shattering things just by being in the right place.

"Hey, if you want to leave, the old man can't force you to stay, so take care of it in the future."

"Yes, Mr. Ge, if there is a chance, I will definitely come to the residence again to be taught."

"This time, your lord is a bit aggressive about Denglai!"

"Yes, I still hope that Ge Lao Zhouquan."

"Of course the old man has to do his best, but you still have to tell him that too much is too late. He is slowly operating in Denglai, and today's situation will be easy in ten years. Why is it so urgent? This is what the old man can't understand."

What Xue Guoguan said was also the truth, Zhang Shouren was able to take down Shandong with his hands and hands, and he was a little eager to do things.

"Your Excellency said that Donglu is on the side of the couch. As a general, he can only accumulate strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, the next battle in Jinan will not know what the result will be."

"Oh, Guohua..."

Xue Guoguan shook his head, his face was also very bitter, as if he was thinking of his own affairs.

Lin Wenyuan hesitated to speak, but also wanted to take the opportunity to persuade him. Xue Guoguan strongly opposed the increase in salary, and the number of offended people was gone. In addition to the donation, more and more eunuchs and relatives were offended. Not to mention the stability of the aspect if this continues, even if the head can be kept, it is very difficult to say.

But Xue Guoguan said nothing by himself, and it would be meaningless to persuade him any more. [

"The elder Ge has what he needs, and the lower officials and Fushan will never sit back and watch."

For more than a year, Lin Wenyuan and Xue Guoguan have gotten along with each other. Seeing that Lao Xue is walking on a dead end, there is also full affection in his words.

"Words are heavy, words are heavy, but if there is a need, the old man will really speak."

Xue Guoguan sent Lin Wenyuan to the front door, asked his family to light up lanterns, and sent him to the second door rarely.With his position as chief assistant, not even Shang Shu Shi Lang or Duke Hou Bo are so respectable.

"Master, please go back."

"Well, the old man has one last word." Under the lights, Xue Guoguan was only wearing a net scarf, and his white hair was dazzling.After becoming a cabinet minister and chief assistant, the white hair on his forehead naturally increased. Looking at Lin Wenyuan, Xue Guoguan said: "The old man has also received ice charcoal respect from Fushan, but it is not too much. Now the state affairs are rushing like a carriage. , the road ahead has been cut off, like galloping towards a cliff, we may fall at any moment. Even if we cannot be saved, we should be saved in case of emergency. The world is full of turmoil, and it is the common people who suffer in the end. I think Guohua is a person with a heart, a few words, letters It’s inconvenient, Wen Yuan, please take it back and tell Guohua.”

"Yes, the next official memorizes every word."

Lin Wenyuan looked at the gray-haired Xue Guoguan, bowed respectfully, and finally left.

……

……

When we returned to the Fushan Guild Hall, the people staying behind came up to report: "General, there is an official surnamed Wu inside who said he is the head of the Ministry of Rites. He has been waiting for more than half an hour."

"Oh, I'm going to change clothes."

It was very casual for Lin Wenyuan to go in and out of the prime minister's mansion, just wear casual clothes, but he presided over the Fushan Guild Hall in the capital as a general, and when officials came to worship, they should meet in official clothes.

When he changed his robes and hurried to the main hall, Wu Changshi was also in a daze under the lights.

It was not going well yesterday, and it is still not going well today, and the master who came to pay a visit was not there, which made him wait for a long time under the lonely lamp.

Fortunately, Fushan has always been famous for its luxurious hospitality. The high-quality Dahongpao and the non-stop ice fruit and fruit plate were brought up non-stop, which relieved some of Wu Changshi's anxiety.

"It's Mr. Wu's job. The next official is far away from welcoming him. He also told Mr. Wu to wait for a long time. It's a sin."

Lin Wenyuan has no demeanor. He treats people like a spring breeze. He is considered a small celebrity in the capital. There are enough fruits of all kinds, and there is also iced sour plum soup, if you can wait here in a hurry, you will be too angry."

He asked again: "I don't know where Brother Lin has gone, it took me so long."

"It's not too busy!"

Lin Wenyuan changed the subject and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Wu is in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

It is said that Wu Changshi can send posts, or write letters, or ask someone to leave a message, so that he will not wait here for a long time. Of course, staying here is something important.

"The Denglai Rebellion has already been reported to the imperial court. This official is here for this matter."

Wu Changshi was impatient with the wait, so he didn't say any polite words, and said straight to the point: "At this time, I am afraid that your superior will inevitably have a small punishment. Even if Prime Minister Xue defends him, the court will have to show some face. If you want to have nothing to do, you must have a stronger and better reason. Is there a small plan today that can overcome this difficulty, I wonder if Brother Lin is interested in listening to it?"

"Haha, Master Wu is joking, but please tell me, the general must remember every word clearly."

……

……

After starting the watch, Wu Changshi left in high spirits, and Lin Wenyuan began to write letters under the lamp.

This is a necessary job every day. The serious intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, including the meeting minutes tonight, will be delivered to Fushan through the postal system of the Military Intelligence Department. After a few days, there will be a report on Zhang Shouren's desk.

But that was a serious report, and Lin Wenyuan also had informal letters.

From his point of view, Wu Changshi's method is worth a try, but from his observations, this official from Fushe is too enthusiastic, his character is not high, and he is quite gloomy. Crazy, even though he hides it very secretly, Lin Wenyuan can still see it.

Is it true that the brainstorm of a mediocre official and a madman is the beginning of a change in the overall situation?

Lin Wenyuan didn't know, but he firmly believed that Zhang Shouren would make the most appropriate judgment.
