Chapter 424 Rain (3)

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Zhu Yunwen was named Emperor, but he usually did not care about politics.

But recently, it seems that he is concerned about the situation in Jiangxi, so he often summoned the Minister of Rites Zheng Qia to Zhongzheng Hall for inquiries.

Zheng Qia is a cabinet minister, and he is a center for daily decision-making, and he is basically familiar with the inside story of major events.

Once Emperor Jianwen said something casually: If he defeated Xuan Dabing this time, he would be expected to enter Nanjing and there would be great hope of restoring the country; if he was defeated, we would be able to defend all sides and be attacked without any danger.

After all, he was an emperor for four years. This opinion and argument made the ministers agree more.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen never mentioned the prince again after summoning Guo Jie.

It seems that Zhu Wenkui is not his own son, so there is no need to worry about it.

The emperor did not mention it, and the ministers deliberately avoided it and would never dare to touch this.

One day, the minister Guo Jie suddenly went to the emperor's bedroom alone to report the matter.

There is a stronghold of Jianwen Yuchen in Jiangxi. It was originally established to build the emperor's secret tomb, and was concealed by Taoist temples.

The work of the Mingling was later suspended, and Zheng Qia stepped down as the responsibility. The people of the Taoist temple were transferred to Guo Jie's control. After they stopped the work and built the Mingling, they were responsible for secretly monitoring the governor of Jiangxi Yu Qian.

The eyeliners discovered something strange this time, and after the news broke, they finally reported to Guo Jie.

This news is not new, but apart from the eunuchs and provincial spies, Guo Jie's people are the only ones who know the matter.

Yu Qian met an old friend in Jingdezhen, suspected of being a spy sent by the Xuande Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen asked: Do the King of Xiang know about this?

Guo Jie said: We don’t know very well, but it is reported that Yu Qian met his old friend in broad daylight, and there were many followers around him.I'm afraid this matter cannot be hidden from the purpose of the eunuch.

After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen said: I understand.

Because Guo Jiemi saw the emperor in the bedroom, Empress Ma behind the scenes also heard about this.Empress Ma, who was full of hatred, had nowhere to start, suddenly felt that this matter seemed to be an opportunity.

……

The pain on Zhang Ning's leg had not yet subsided, but he came to the cabinet office as usual and asked Xu Wenjun to get the recently received official documents.

Among them, Yu Qian's memorial was actually written. He immediately put down other official documents and expanded the memorial to review.

He is accustomed to browsing the main content quickly before deciding whether to read it carefully.

Although there are many words in an article and there are no punctuation, Zhang Ning has long been used to such words and has taken less than a minute to read it.

Yu Qian actually wrote a letter to resign, but Cute wanted to withdraw?Zhang Ning hurriedly read the memorial again.

In the article, Yu Qian said that the war in Jiangxi is about to begin, and he felt that the impact of this battle was serious. He was originally a civil servant, and in the past, he was mainly a general who was called by the court as the governor of Huguang. He was a civil servant who had enough troops to manage the government and was not qualified to lead the troops, so he might not be competent for Jiangxi's defense.

Then he asked the cabinet to choose another general to take over all military power in Jiangxi, and he could concentrate on rectifying the administration of officials in Jiangxi and continue to govern the local people's livelihood.

First of all, Zhang Ning felt that this seemed to be a test, because such an approach was a common method in the officialdom.

Even the ministers in the court would always resign and return home. Then the emperor thought the minister was not bad, so he wanted to keep him and transform the contradictions intovisible.

However, Yu Qian's temptation made Zhang Ning very satisfied, because no matter whether Yu Qian really wanted to give up his military power or just wanted to make a gesture, Zhang Ning could naturally approve his request to regain military power...

The wonder is that Qian is not resigning. He did not say that he would not be the governor of Jiangxi, but only said that he wanted to be at ease with government affairs. Therefore, it is not impossible to overcome what he asked for.

Things in the world are so wonderful. I was worried that others would have too much military power; but when he wanted to give up on his own initiative, it made people feel a little reluctant.

Yu Qian is by no means a person who claims to be incompetent in military affairs. He is born with military talents. Not to mention that he performed very well in the battle in Huguang. In Zhang Ning's knowledge, this person was the one who presided over the Beijing Defense War. His outstanding achievements were recorded in Qingci. How could he be a person who was famous for his reputation?

Zhang Ning believed in his heart that under the same conditions, even if he left Wuchang and ran to Jiangxi to replace Yu Qian to preside over military affairs, he would probably not do as good as him.

Xu Wenjun, who was standing beside him, saw Zhang Ning's expression strange, so he asked casually.Zhang Ning murmured: Yu Qian actually submitted a report to remove his military power...

Xu Wenjun said: Literati are just pretentious and always want to give up. Isn’t this anger?

Zhang Ning smiled bitterly, not saying anything.

He thought to himself: I have long thought about it. Yu Qian could not return to Xuande Dynasty. Is he too suspicious?

Looking at it from another perspective, if Yu Qian fought this battle, as long as the results were achieved, he would not have the possibility of reconciliation with the court, and would also affect Yang Shiqi; by then, this group of talents would have been truly recovered.

……

A few days later, the cabinet discussed matters.

Yang Shiqi talked about Jiangxi military affairs and said: A batch of newly built firearms and flintlock guns by the Weapons Bureau, and the old minister thought they could be transferred to Jiangxi for delivery to Yongding Camp.The elite soldiers are ready to prepare for the battle in Jiangxi.There are also more than 30,000 surrendered troops from the Han King in Jiujiang City, which are still available. The Zhuque Army lacks military strength and needs a surrendered troops at this moment. However, the Han King in Nanjing was destroyed, and the soldiers of the surrendered troops were no longer supported by the rootless Ping, and the old minister thought it was still reliable.A batch of firearms and the "Han Wang Army" can be allocated, and the governor will supervise training to prepare for military troubles...

Yang Shiqi talked happily.Zhang Ning suddenly understood: Yu Qian had long wanted to ask for guns and cannons.

But Yu Qian may think that asking for guns and cannons at this time is a threat and temptation, so he first asked to resign from his military power, and then he vented Yang Shiqi to help him raise this matter in the court...

The teacher and student cooperated with each other very tacitly.

Zhang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.Yu Qian's attitude is not only more gentle, but also shows his unnostalgic desire for military power.

A ray of sunlight shone in from the window, shaking Zhang Ning's eyes, and then he noticed that the rain stopped at some point.

The sun seemed to dispel the haze in the quaint house, and also brought a ray of light that made his heart suddenly bright.

The sky is clear after the rain, and the air outside seems to feel particularly fresh, and the grass and trees are as if they have been washed, and the world is clear.

Zhang Ning took a deep breath and made a quick decision: I think what Mr. Yang said was very true. If the masters had no objection, they could order the Weapons Bureau to arrange the transfer of firearms.

Then he took out an envelope from his arms. Not long ago, I received a letter from Yu Qian, asking him to step down as defense in Jiangxi.At present, the court is employed. Yu Shigong is appointed as the commander in the face of danger and should not give up halfway.I have refuted this request. Mr. Yang has a teacher-student friendship with him. Should he also communicate and persuade him?Let Minister Yu don’t have to worry too much and be at ease with national affairs.

Yang Shiqi hurriedly stood up and said, "The old minister, who apologized to King Xiang on behalf of Tingyi, then he would definitely write a book to scold him, not understanding the righteousness, and was forced to bear the heavy trust of the emperor and King Xiang!"

After the meeting, several ministers walked out of the lobby.

Yang Shiqi looked calm and said to Zhu Heng casually: The matter of asking for the transfer of firearms should have been said by Zhu Butang. I seem to be more suspicious of being a substitute today.

Zhu Heng stroked a messy beard and smiled meaningfully: Wherever you are, Gong Yang is the chief minister of the court, and what can’t be mentioned?Even if the lower official wants to say it, he has to discuss it with Mr. Yang first.

……

In Duchang County, Yu Qian received several official documents and letters sent from Jiujiang City Kuaima, all from Wuchang.

The Hunan King rejected the resignation and consultation documents of Jiangxi's arrangements for receiving firearms, which made Yu Qian feel relieved and mentioned again.

This time he didn't know what he was feeling, but it was a good thing. He had already tested that his trust in the Huguang regime had not been destroyed; but he would experience the civil war in person next time, and Yu Qian was actually a little tired of this kind of war.

Facing the vast Poyang Lake, he asked himself about his actions many times.The ancient saint said that he had ever been confused by me three times a day, or did he stick to the rules in the classics as the criterion?

At this moment, a general walked up to the city tower, stood up with his feet and raised his arms straight and bowed.

This general was from Yongding Camp, so he used this strange etiquette.

Report to the master, a guest asked for a meeting at the city and claimed to be his friend, named Wang Jian.

Wang Jian?Yu Qian was puzzled why he was back? Of course he was not caught, otherwise he would not have thought of seeing him.Yu Qian said, and led him to meet him.

Obey the order!The young man answered.

Wang Jian was covered in dust, wearing a cloth coat, wrapped in a dirty cloth on his head, and it was not known how long it took to change it.He walked up and bowed calmly to Yu Qian, and Yu Qian asked: Why are you back?

This time, Wang Jian did not secretly speak in words and silently as he did last time. He said loudly: The students’ confusion is still unsolved. Can the mentor international students be in front of the saddle?

Yu Qian said: What should the family in Nanjing do if you join us here?

Wang Jian said: You cannot have both fish and bear’s paws, so you can sacrifice yourself for righteousness.

Yu Qian pondered for a moment. Wang Jian’s last private encounter shouldn’t be able to hide Wuchang’s intentions. Now he is just open and open.

And suddenly, Yu Qian wanted to keep Wang Jian by his side and talk to him.

It seems that Wang Jian is another self. Isn’t it that to solve his own doubts?

Wang Jian is just a small character, and he did not say he was openly rebelled when he stayed in Jiangxi. In theory, the court would not have confiscated his family and destroyed his clans.

But if his family is really involved, there is nothing we can do about it.

Yu Qian refused to comment and did not drive Wang Jian away.

Wang Jian asked at this time: Is the mentor ready to fight against the official army in Nanzhili?

Yu Qian said with a stern face: People will die when fighting. Joining the army and eating food to serve the country, death in battle is the destination.What we can do should be to restrain military discipline and prevent soldiers from turning into bandits and causing civilians.This battle is destined to be inevitable. Whether it is the Xuande Dynasty's official army defeating the Suzaku army or the Suzaku army defeating the official army, bleeding and drifting the oars are destined!There is no two days, and there is no two kings in the country. Finally, the winner will be decided. King Xiang is the right emperor of Jianwen, and there is nothing right or wrong for us to serve this!

He was trying to convince Wang Jian, but also convinced himself.
