Chapter 1302 Layout
Seal the envelope and give it to the general, and ask him to send it to Hu Zongxian in [-] miles.

The general left in a hurry, Luo Zhi stood by and watched when Luo Xin wrote the letter.This was allowed by Luo Xin, the purpose is to let Luo Zhi grow up as soon as possible.After the general left, Luo Zhi couldn't help clapping his hands and praised:
"Wonderful! You and Hu Zongxian each wrote a letter requesting that the court add a governor as soon as possible, which will dispel His Majesty's suspicion of you."

"It's not that simple!" Luo Xin said with a light smile, "Once Hu Zongxian and I write a letter, including the Xu party, their goal will turn to the struggle for power in the south, and they will all focus on the fight for the addition of the southeast governor. Rumors have naturally will pass."

"That's right!" Luo Zhi said with a smile, "They will jump on them like flies that see rotten eggs."

He discussed with Luo Zhi again, and when Luo Zhi left, Luo Xin began to think about the arrangements for the whole south.He knew that after he and Hu Zongxian wrote the letter, Emperor Jiajing would be at ease first.

Both Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian expressed their hearts, and asking the court to add a governor, isn't it to show that neither of them has any attachment to the south?

In other words, after the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan are wiped out, the two will return to Beijing immediately.

How could Emperor Jiajing still have the mind to doubt Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian?
He has many things to consider. If there is one governor in a province, then seven governors are needed. Who will be the governor?
He has to consider not only who fits, but also the balance.

There is no doubt that those aristocratic families will flock to compete for these seven places.Emperor Jiajing wouldn't give these places to those aristocratic families to decide, otherwise, would the world still belong to the old Zhu family?
Of course, it is impossible not to give one of them. Emperor Jiajing spent his whole life fighting with the aristocratic family.In other words, people like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, did not completely defeat the aristocratic family. Why should he be Jiajing?
So he had to find a balance, which included the balance between the royal family and the family, and the balance between the family, which was already very brain-consuming.

In addition to these, we also need to consider how to arrange Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian.

That's all for Luo Xin, under the operation of Luo Xin, Emperor Jiajing has already decided in his heart that Luo Xin doesn't care about being an official, and Luo Xin is very young, he is only 26 years old now, but he is already the third-rank Minister of Rites.How else do you want to be promoted?

Could it be that the 26-year-old Luo Xin was promoted from the second rank?

That's really a bit exaggerated. After King Yu ascends the throne, how can he improve?

There is no reward, that is the most terrible thing.

Ah!
Luo Xin's title can be raised one more step, from the second-class to the first-class.This has reached the peak in terms of title, it is impossible to make Luo Xin the Duke of the country.

Emperor Jiajing also had a headache, and now he was a little afraid that Luo Xin would do more meritorious deeds.

As for Hu Zongxian, it was even more of a headache.

Today's Hu Zongxian seems to have suddenly become enlightened, vigorously suppressing the bandits, and willing to return to Beijing, so you Emperor Jiajing must give Hu Zongxian a suitable reward, right?
To award Hu Zongxian, the resistance is not ordinary.

With so many things going on, why would Emperor Jiajing still have the leisure to doubt and fear Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian?

The same is true for those ministers, most of their energies must be focused on fighting for the position of governor, and at the same time, they must also consider how to suppress Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian.

Therefore, Luo Xin firmly believed that after he and Hu Zongxian wrote the letter, the rumors about Jishan would dissipate.

but……

It is also impossible for Luo Xin to hand over the south without any grievances. Could it be that his hard work in the south is to pick fruits for others?
Therefore, among the additional governors, there must be someone of his own, and it cannot be just one. He must basically control the south in his own hands.

Yu Dayou should be able to become the governor of the Navy and guard Suzhou.

However, is Yu Dayou considered Luo Xin's person?
More than half of it!
As long as Luo Xin does not rebel, Yu Dayou will firmly stand on Luo Xin's side, even if he offends the emperor.Such is his character.However, once there is a rebellion, Yu Dayou has more than half the possibility of abandoning Luo Xin.Therefore, Yu Dayou can be regarded as a member of Luo Xin's camp, but he cannot be regarded as Luo Xin's confidant.

Qi Jiguang is closer to Luo Xin than Yu Dayou. It can be said that Qi Jiguang is already Luo Xin's confidant, but now Emperor Jiajing and the people in the court probably think that Yu Dayou is his confidant. , Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet will not agree.It is enough for you Luo Xin to have one confidant in the south, do you want to have two?

In other words, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou can only choose one.

Luo Xin thought carefully, Yu Dayou is the southern navy, and the importance of the navy to the south is self-evident.Therefore, it is easier to elect Yu Dayou to become one of the governors than to elect Qi Jiguang.

What about Qi Jiguang?
Luo felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and didn't come up with an idea for a while.Sighing, he put the matter aside temporarily and did what had to be done first.

Spread out the paper and start writing a letter to Emperor Jiajing.

The first is to report to Emperor Jiajing about Hu Zongxian's suppression of the bandits, as well as the southern government affairs that he has taken charge of, and then make suggestions, hoping that the court can put the matter of adding southern governors on the agenda as soon as possible. They can take office as quickly as possible, or they can be allowed to take office in advance, under the leadership of Luo Xin first, so there is still a time for a smooth transition. After Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian leave, the military and government in the south will not do anything. waves.

After writing the letter, he carefully read both sides. After there was no problem, Luo Xin sealed the envelope and sent it to the capital.

Here, Luo Xin was still thinking hard about how to arrange Qi Jiguang, but he received a letter from Hu Zongxian.

The main content of Hu Zongxian's letter is still to tell about the current situation of the war and his own analysis.However, later on, he straightforwardly recommended someone to Luo Xin, hoping that Luo Xin could help recommend that person to become one of the southern governors.

This person is Zhang Zhongcheng, the current governor of Guangdong.

Luo Xin has been in the south for many years, and has a very detailed understanding of the civil and military officials in the south.Therefore, as soon as he saw Zhang Zhongcheng's name, information about him appeared in his mind.

Zhang Zhongcheng, courtesy name Zhengye, nicknamed Baichuan.

Jinshi in the fifth year of Jiajing, this is definitely an old man, only one subject later than Xu Jie, the current chief assistant of the cabinet.Although he is a Jinshi, he is well versed in military affairs. He has served as ministers of Fujian, Shu and Chu, and he has quelled rebellions for the court several times. Dao's great victory.
