Ming politicians

(Thanks to Heart Floating, Binbin Qiqi, and Tianhai Wenxi for casting precious monthly tickets, and thank you for the reward I love Yangyang, thank you.)

The Jiangning camp has stepped up preparations, and Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou are also making preparations respectively. According to the time requirements, from the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to the eighth day of the first lunar month, there are no special circumstances. Governments everywhere can take a rest, that is, many officials can have a holiday Rest, this is similar to the situation hundreds of years later, except that the imperial court's regulations start from the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month to the eighth day of the first lunar month, and there is a certain degree of looseness in local implementation, even though there are so many days There is still a lot of rest and bathing time, but there are still very few people going home. This is also because the traffic is too inconvenient and too much time is wasted going back and forth.

The situation in Shaanxi is different. Many magistrates are newly appointed, and under the leadership of the governor's office, they let go of their hands and feet to do things. In addition, the rogues have completely withdrawn from Shaanxi and went to Sichuan. This opportunity improves the relationship between the government and the common people, and the winter wheat also needs to be well managed. It can be harvested in the beginning of the year. This is the most important step in stabilizing Shaanxi. As long as the winter wheat harvest is abundant, the common people can basically stabilize.

Therefore, the Spring Festival holiday does not have much influence in Shaanxi, and officials who cannot go home still insist on staying in the Yamen.

The news of the Jiangning battalion's conquest of the Mongol Tartars is top-secret and must not be leaked out. Facing the highly mobile and fast-moving Mongol Tartars, revealing the news in advance is tantamount to letting the opponent go.

The Jiangning camp chose to start on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. There is another reason. The local officials in Shaanxi have all taken a bath and will not pay attention to the affairs of the government. Those who like to leak news are often these people.

Martial law has always been around the barracks, and ordinary people wait.It cannot be approached. This generation is a military restricted area. This is also the decision made by Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou after discussing. In Shaanxi, there are bandits mixed with ordinary people.You can't tell the difference at all. When you first came here, you were not familiar with the place. If you were careless, it would not be worthwhile if you were plotted or attacked by rogues. This rule has been carried forward.

Early in the morning on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion were preparing to set off.Still stepping up preparations, Xiong Zijian was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he had to prepare supplies for the soldiers who were going to go deep into the Hetao area, and there could be no negligence in the slightest.

Su Tiancheng was also making preparations, but luckily his family didn't follow him to Shaanxi, so it was convenient to leave without any disturbance, only sometimes.Thinking of my family at night, I still miss it a little.

When Wang Dazhi came in.Su Tiancheng was sorting out many official documents. After becoming the governor, Su Tiancheng found that he didn't need to deal with many specific affairs at all, as long as he could grasp the direction well, he would be fine.

"My lord, there's a letter from the capital."

Su Tiancheng nodded, took the letter, and could tell at a glance that it was a letter from Sun Chengzong.

After opening the letter, Su Tiancheng looked carefully.Gradually, his face changed, and the change was a little big. Wang Dazhi stood aside, didn't leave, and didn't speak.

After reading the letter, Su Tiancheng thought for a while.

"Dazhi, please come here, don't disturb other people."

Wang Dazhi agreed, and when he was about to go out, Su Tiancheng added something.

"After I discuss with Master Qu, you go and ask Master Hong to come over."

Wang Dazhi's complexion changed. It must not be a trivial matter to find Qu Qingze and Hong Chengchou to discuss, but at this time, his task is to invite Qu Qingze and Hong Chengchou to the governor's office.

When Qu Qingze hurried over, there were even drops of sweat on his face.

The Jiangning camp was going to exterminate the Mongolian Tartars who invaded Ming Dynasty. He knew about it, but he was already the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture, so he couldn't follow the Jiangning camp. For nearly three years, he had been a civil servant. Qu Qingze Gradually he began to adapt to the environment. He knew very well that he was Su Tiancheng's most trusted confidant. At such a time, he had to do things seriously and support Su Tiancheng with practical actions.

Regardless of Qu Qingze who was out of breath, Su Tiancheng handed the letter directly to Qu Qingze.

Qu Qingze picked up the letter and read it carefully.

"My lord, this, this is a bloody spout. I don't know if those people in the court have nothing to do. They just want to criticize them. Why don't they send people to Shaanxi to take a look? Can't see it?" What kind of changes have taken place in Shaanxi in three months."

"Lao Qu, things are not that simple. What we did in Shaanxi, to a certain extent, harmed the interests of wealthy gentry. This is a huge group. They have connections in the imperial court, and even have spokespersons. After such a long time, they have worked hard in the court."

"My lord, I feel that there is nothing wrong with doing this."

"I can't say that there is nothing wrong with it. There must be some problems in seizing the wealth of wealthy gentry for no reason, but this is also forced by the situation. You still remember what I did in Jiangning County. I didn't use coercive means, but The situation in Shaanxi is different. Stability is the most important thing. So many ordinary people are suffering from hunger and cold, struggling on the verge of death. At such a time, it will definitely be useless to reason with those gentry and wealthy households and ask them to make contributions. "

"My lord, the situation is a bit complicated. I feel that you should go directly to the capital to explain the situation, so as not to cause more impeachment and discussion."

"Do you think I must go to the capital?"

"The lower official thinks that my lord should go there. This is also to pave the way for the future. Besides, the Spring Festival is here, and my lord has arrived in the capital. I just want to visit the elders of the cabinet. As long as I explain some things well, there won't be too much trouble." For big things, Master Sun has already reminded him in the letter."

"Then do you think it's more important for me to go to the capital to refute the rumors, or to take the Jiangning battalion to attack the Mongolian Tartars?"

Qu Qingze was stunned. The two things are very important, but the problem now is that the two things come together. If they wait until after the Mongolian Tartars are conquered, it must be a bit late. Besides, the people who appeared in the capital Rumors and impeachment have involved Su Tiancheng's personal future.

"My lord, I think it is important to go to the capital. If the situation is not serious, Mr. Sun would not suggest that you go to the capital. Your lord's visit to the capital to explain the situation is also for the development of Shaanxi."

Hearing what Qu Qingze said, Su Tiancheng didn't speak for a while.

After a while, Su Tiancheng finally spoke.

"The matter of the Jiangning camp conquest has been arranged, and the adjustment at this time will have a major impact. Besides, the things mentioned in Mr. Sun's letter cannot be disclosed for the time being. Otherwise, some people below will Taking advantage of the opportunity to make noise, Shaanxi is at a critical moment, and fluctuations cannot occur."

"My lord, I think you should think about yourself, too."

"I know this, I will write the memorial, and at the same time, you want the dark lines in the capital, inquire about the situation more, and send the information in time."

Qu Qingze wanted to say something else, but Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop him.

"I've already made a decision, speaking with facts. Some adults in the capital are always looking for something to do, so let them do the work. I won't let them lead by the nose. My personal matters have nothing to do with Shaanxi. Compared with the ample food and clothing of the common people, it is nothing."

After Hong Chengchou read the letter, he couldn't hold back, and yelled, saying that those censors and officials in the imperial court deserved to die and should be removed from their posts and punished.

After Hong Chengchou lost his temper, Su Tiancheng expressed his decision.

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze had the same opinion. They believed that Su Tiancheng should go to the capital, do some work, and go to the capital to explain in person. The effect is different from writing a memorial. Hong Chengchou even said that three people become a tiger .

Su Tiancheng still insisted on his opinion.

After the two argued for a while, Hong Chengchou thought that someone should go to the capital when encountering such a big event. Even if Su Tiancheng couldn't go there in person, he still had to send someone to the capital. Su Tiancheng thought for a while and thought Hong Chengchou's opinion is good.

After Liu Jingting entered the third hall, Su Tiancheng spoke seriously.

"Jing Ting, there is something I want you to do. You will set off tomorrow and go directly to the capital on behalf of me. Your task this time is extraordinary. In the capital, there are censors and officials who will give the emperor a piece of paper. Said that I intend to rebel, build Shaanxi into a separate kingdom, and break away from the leadership of the imperial court. If things go on like this, I will become bigger and eventually threaten the emperor. To win people's hearts as much as possible, King Qin, King Rui, and King Han, including King Jin and King Fu, all gave money to support Shaanxi, and they also regarded it as a crime, thinking that it was gathering strength."

Liu Jingting's face turned pale, looking at Su Tiancheng, apparently thinking of something to say.

"Let you go to the capital on my behalf, and you can do things according to the requirements. When it's time to speak, say it in an upright manner, don't be afraid of some adults in the court, be upright, you are aware of the changes in Shaanxi, try your best Tell the truth."

"When you arrive in the capital, first ask to see Mr. Sun Chengzong. Here is a letter. You can hand it directly to Mr. Sun. What should you do? Mr. Sun will arrange for you."

"Take 1000 taels of gold and go to the capital. I have already made a list of the officials who should be visited. You go to visit one by one. I have written a letter to each of the adults. After you see these adults, as many as possible Let’s talk about the situation in Shaanxi, you used to be a storyteller, how should I put it, you are better than me, and you must let them recognize the changes that have taken place in Shaanxi.”

"I have already written the relevant information in this letter. Take your time to read it yourself. If you go to the capital, I will send two hundred soldiers from the Jiangning Battalion to escort you there. Don't be stingy with the expenses you need. This time, It's time to show your abilities."
