Ming politicians

Su's Mansion in the capital was overjoyed.

Su Tiancheng served as Minister of the Ministry of War, Imperial Envoy of Youdu, Governor of the military affairs of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and Huguang. His status and status were exactly the same as those of the six ministers.In the Ming Dynasty, gentlemen were noble and military officials were light. If Su Tiancheng was only the commander of the Jiangning Battalion, he would not have much status. Even a first-rank military officer would bow his head in front of second-rank or even third-rank civilian officials. This time, although He resigned as the commander of the Jiangning Battalion, but he is now formally in charge of the Ming Dynasty's efforts to wipe out the bandits as a civil servant. From now on, the Jiangning Battalion will only be an army under the command of Su Tiancheng, and the rest of the troops in the five provinces can be controlled by him as needed. , dispatched at any time.

Zhu Shenxin is a double blessing, her husband Su Tiancheng is reused again, and her elder brother Zhu Shenxuan is the governor of Shaanxi, becoming a leader among the royal family.

Su Tiancheng hasn't been home for a long time, this time he came back for two consecutive days, he was accompanied by Zhu Shenxin, a woman needs a man's nourishment, so for a few days, Zhu Shenxin has been radiant.

There are quite a few ministers from the DPRK and China who came to pay their respects at home, and it can be regarded as an endless stream.

Naturally, Zhu Shenxin needed to come forward to receive her. Although she just accompanied Su Tiancheng to greet the visiting officials, it was enough. If she had such a husband, what more could a woman ask for.

Su Tiancheng got up and waited for Zhu Shenxuan.

Zhu Shenxuan still has to pay homage to the emperor, and he has served as the governor of Shaanxi. His responsibilities are different, and the emperor will naturally entrust him alone. According to the regulations of the imperial court, newly appointed officials have about a month's rest and vacation, and they can go back home. It's considered to be visiting relatives, but Su Tiancheng, Zhu Shenxuan and others don't have so much time.

When Su Tiancheng came to the capital, the Jiangning battalion had already assembled in Xianyang.Waiting for orders at any time, when Su Tiancheng left Xianyang, most of the Jiangning battalion soldiers knew that they might have to leave Shaanxi.

Zhu Shenxuan is in the same situation. There are many things going on in Shaanxi, and it will be spring plowing season soon.It is definitely not possible to waste time, and it is definitely impossible to answer the question of going to Taiyuan, Shanxi, and not having time to stay at home. Besides, Sun Chengzong has already proposed that since the royal family members have entered the court, the family members should also come to the capital. As a great official in frontiers, Shenxuan's family members could not stay in Taiyuan, Shanxi for a long time.This is also the case with Zhu Yousong. If the vassal king or the son of the vassal king is really going to rebel, and his family members are in the capital, they are also wary.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Shenxuan came to visit.

Su Tiancheng led Zhu Shenxuan directly into the study.

between the two.There are no polite words like saying thank you.It seems too tacky, everything is in the heart.

"Kunyuan, I feel a lot of pressure. Now that I think about it, you knew the news a long time ago, but you didn't tell me directly. Although the situation in Shaanxi has improved, there are still many things and many things. The emperor specifically entrusted me. You must do a lot of things in Shaanxi, and you must tell me how to do it."

"His Royal Highness, in fact, I have already said what I should say. During the last meeting, I asked you to listen more and read more. As long as you follow the requirements of the last meeting, there will be no problem. You need to pay attention There are two aspects. The first is Wu Weiye. Wu Weiye went to Xi'an to serve as the magistrate. The emperor's will, including the court's decree, cannot be completely independent, even formal independence is not acceptable, as long as the situation in Shaanxi improves, we must pay attention to all aspects of things."

"The second aspect is Gongchang Mansion. Chen Yutai's understanding is very pedantic, and he is somewhat arrogant. Although he suffered some blows this time, it is not very likely that he will change drastically in a short period of time. In this regard, you still have to be patient. Someone suggested before that I should transfer Chen Yutai out of Shaanxi, but I didn’t do that, and you can’t do that either.

"The good thing is that Zhang Pu went to Shaanxi. Zhang Pu used to be Wu Weiye's teacher, and he also received the respect of Chen Yutai. After all, he is the leader of Fushe. Zhang Pu has been in contact with reality for a long time and has suffered a lot of tempering. He knew him early. It has changed, so you can rely on Zhang Pu, just to teach Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye a lesson, and let Zhang Pu do it."

"Zhang Pu understood all this. When I left Shaanxi, I told him everything. He also thought that Chen Yutai's actions were problematic."

"It's a good thing that Zhu Yousong has served as the procurator. You and Zhu Yousong have always had a good relationship, and you can cooperate well. Many things can be done easily."

"My advice to His Royal Highness King Jin is one. You should focus on the big things and the small things. Don't care too much. Try to let Zhang Pu and Zhu Yousong do it. It is very important to grasp the big and let go of the small. It is also difficult to do it. Employing people I don’t doubt that people don’t need to, most of the officials and key positions in Shaanxi are people I trusted in the past, and they will obey your orders.”

Zhu Shenxuan nodded frequently, and after Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he spoke with gratitude.

"Kun Yuan, I know that it was your suggestion that I was able to serve as the governor of Shaanxi this time. The emperor valued your suggestion very much. After so many years, I never thought that I would be the governor of the imperial court so soon. .”

"His Royal Highness, we are a family. There is a saying, I have to say, master of meritorious deeds, you and I both need to pay attention to this aspect, not to say that it tends to be mediocre, the key is how to deal with it on weekdays. It must be done, and more importantly, it must be thought of protecting oneself, where it should be low-key, it must be low-key."

"Understood, there are too many officials paying attention to you and me now. You are the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, and I am the governor of Shaanxi. Who is not watching us? If something goes wrong with us, I don't know how many impeachment memorials there will be. Saying that we have disagreements is fine, but suddenly we will say that we are going to rebel."

"Yeah, so, sometimes, you still have to be a human being with your tail between your legs."

Zhu Shenxuan lived in the mansion that night, he hadn't seen his younger sister Zhu Shenxin for a long time, and the siblings talked for a long time.

The next day, after Zhu Shenxuan left, Zhu Yousong came to visit.

Speaking in front of Zhu Yousong, Su Tiancheng paid a lot of attention. On the contrary, Zhu Yousong's attitude was very bold. Zhu Yousong was very happy that he was able to be the inspector of the third rank. It is the cabinet, that is a very promising thing.

Zhu Yousong talked about many things in Shaanxi, including some issues he thought about. Su Tiancheng also exchanged opinions with Zhu Yousong based on his own opinions.

In fact, Zhu Yousong is smart. Su Tiancheng, governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, is actually in charge of Shaanxi affairs.

It was within Su Tiancheng's expectation that Sun Chengzong came to the mansion.

"Kun Yuan, the old man suggested that you should leave Shaanxi as soon as possible. You won't blame the old man."

"The younger generation doesn't dare, but the adult's painstaking efforts, the younger generation is very clear."

"That's good. The old man has talked with Shanji several times. Shanji has already mentioned that he can no longer be the governor of the military affairs of the four provinces. He is a bit powerless. In fact, the old man also knows that Shanji will not be able to complete the important task of exterminating the bandits. You are still needed to do it, Shanji has long suggested that you come to be the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces and be responsible for exterminating the bandits."

"My lord, this junior knows that Mr. Lu is also a little embarrassed. The junior's abolishment of the guard army in Shaanxi has had some impact on the remaining four provinces. Under the panic, the fighting power will naturally retreat. There are still some complaints, it was not good at all, and it is even more bad under the influence of the outside world, in such a situation, Master Lu has nothing to do."

"Yes, the old man has a detailed understanding of the situation of the Yulin Camp, including the abolition of the troops in the Shaanxi Guards. In fact, I, Ming Dynasty, should fully implement this matter. It's just that the current time is not ripe. If we can completely wipe out the bandits, we can resist the Jin Dynasty. The invasion, at that time, you can act."

"The juniors also see it that way."

"Kun Yuan, your performance is very good. I am really pleased. When you were in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, you took the initiative to resign as the commander of Jiangning Camp. Those who care about the overall situation are rare, and the old man believes that the days of rogues will not be long."

"The junior will definitely work hard, but I'm really not sure about the time."

"The old man knows that if you are full of confidence, the old man will be worried. I was going to tell you about the situation of the rogues in detail, but now there is no need for this. Here are some letters written by Shanji, the main points of which are mentioned above. The situation of the rogues, including several times of extermination of the rogues, you just have to take a closer look at it, and the old man doesn’t want to fight against others.”

"Your Excellency, please don't say that. The words that this junior said in the Hall of Mental Cultivation are just thinking that three people become tigers. There are some things that this junior cannot return to the capital to explain. Your lord has been fighting for many years and has rich experience. I have a lot of experience, and I need to guide the juniors a lot."

"Hehe, no need. I know your philosophy of governing the army. I admire you so much. No wonder the Jiangning Battalion has such a strong combat effectiveness. Seeing that the Yulin Battalion is slowly rising, I am very happy. If you can Combine the troops from Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and Jinzhou, then you can really rest easy."

This time, Su Tiancheng didn't speak, he thought of Wu Sangui, although he said that he hadn't come into contact with Wu Sangui in these years, and he was mainly in Shanhaiguan, defending against the invasion of Hou Jin, but the two would eventually meet.

"Kun Yuan, I don't want to talk too much. You know your responsibilities yourself. The focus is on Houjin. There are now 16 people in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. The number of people seems small, but their fighting power is extraordinary. The bandits are not the point, the old man hopes that the Jiangning camp will not suffer too many casualties, and the extermination of the bandits can be regarded as internal friction, the old man is really heartbroken."
