Pan, the person of the Five Blessings when Xu He got married, was Yu Ji's wife.
"Thank you, teacher!" Xu He stood up and thanked Gu Shouyuan.
Gu Shouyuan said: "Speak loudly, Xue Zongkai, the governor of the former military governor's office, is from the same clan as the Xue family of Shanyang Marquis. Although Xue Zongkai holds the title of county prince, he has always been very close to the Shanyang Marquis family. What's the matter? We can establish a relationship with him through Xue Yongzhi!"
Xie Kun smiled at this time and said: "I didn't expect that Mingshan would be so familiar with the nobles!"
Gu Shouyuan smiled and said nothing.
He is a person who aspires to join the cabinet. He needs to understand the affairs of cabinet ministers and civil servants, and he must be familiar with the affairs of military generals.
The Xu Song in front of me is the best example.
Among the civil servants of the imperial court, he was simply an anomaly.
It has been more than ten years since I became an official. When I returned to the court, I didn’t even have a single person from the party to help me. But why could he hold a firm position as a cabinet minister?
Just because Xu Song knew military affairs.
Machiavellian tactics are important, but ability is the most important.
It's the same no matter what era.
At this time, Xie Daozhi asked: "Just entered the palace, what did your Majesty ask you?"
"Go back to my uncle, Your Majesty, please show me the secret document of Dong Rui, the new commander of Jinyiweinan Town and Fusidu. The above..."
Xu He finished the three things.
Gu Shouyuan and other people who didn't know Zhu Ming's existence were surprised and speechless when they heard the third thing.
They originally thought that the rebels were just a group of believers in the Luo religion, but they didn't expect that there was someone controlling them behind them.
Xu Song didn't hide anything and told everything he knew about the Zhu family. Anyway, these would spread soon.
After hearing this, Gu Shouyuan said solemnly: "The rebels have their own pseudo-dynasty, so they can't be treated as ordinary rebels! As soon as this news came out, the court will probably suppress them with heavy troops!"
Xu He deeply believed that a rebel thief who had no purpose or just wanted to have enough food was actually not terrible.
The scary thing is the rebels who have their own political program and political needs.
For example, Li Zicheng, before meeting Niu Jinxing, they were just helping the weaklings.
But after meeting Jurenniu Jinxing, he, Song Xiance and others launched the political slogan "Eat special women, wear special women, and don't pay for food when the king comes." In an instant, Kaifeng was broken, King Fu was killed, and the team grew to hundreds of thousands. , suddenly invaded Beijing and destroyed the Ming Dynasty.
Any court is afraid of such people, because if they have a political program, they have political goals, which means that they can unite many people, especially the scholar-bureaucrats of this era.
Suddenly, Xu He thought of the prefect in Songjiang who was very embarrassed by Shen Wan.
There are also Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong.
…
Thinking of this, he was sweating all over his body. The other party had already recruited many intellectuals.
This is much richer than the team of King Chuang Li Zicheng.
After Xu Song learned about Xu He's suggestion to deploy troops in Jingxi, he smiled bitterly and said: "It just so happens that the second thing your Majesty just told you, I will also explain it to you."
"Che Chun wrote a letter saying that he had returned to defend Wuchang, but he also said that the military rations that Huguang can support have been exhausted. The various military posts, especially Yunyang, Xiangyang, De'an, Huangzhou and other prefectures in the northernmost part of Huguang have , as well as the southernmost prefectures such as Jingzhou, Yongzhou, Baoqing, and Hengzhou have serious shortages of soldiers and obvious shortages of equipment. Also, although the situation in central Huguang is slightly better, it is not much better. Since he took office, he has sent people Check out the place and use his words!”
"Huguang is nothing now. Let alone rebels, even if the chieftains rebel, they have no ability to suppress them!"
Xie Daozhi was shocked when he heard this: "Why did Che Chun report it now? The guards who participated in the Changsha siege..."
"He pieced it all together. He has just taken office and has only just grasped the situation. The specific memorial will soon be on the desks of the cabinet and the emperor!"
When Xu He heard this, his whole body went numb.
The guard station is short of soldiers, food, weapons and equipment. Where have these gone?
It must have been swallowed up by officials big and small.
Especially the military attachés and the soldiers and generals of the guard are hereditary.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial court has allocated land for military camps to military generals and soldiers.
As time went by, these military camps must have been swallowed up by the generals of the guards.
Why are there insufficient troops?
Because the soldiers who lost their land either fled the famine or worked as long-term laborers for the adults in the guard, farming the land, so naturally there were no more soldiers.
And armaments...
The buying and selling of armaments in various places has long been an open secret. Except for the Zhili area, the corruption of the guards is simply unimaginable.
And doesn’t the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army know these things?
You know, even the big guys are involved in dividing the spoils.
Thinking of this, Xu He felt even more troubled by his position as the former military governor's office.
"Liangsheng, you said that His Majesty arranged for someone to enter your experience department?" Xie Daozhi asked.
Xu He nodded.
As an official, Xu Dai once worked in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Approximately equivalent to the unit's internal financial audit.
Obviously, the emperor's arrangement was for him to provide cover for the Jinyiwei disguised as Teruma.
Jinyiwei is responsible for detecting and reporting problems.
Does this mean that you will be fine?
Of course not, it was Emperor Zheng's plan. Only now did Xu He understand how well he had planned it.
Get rid of Uncle Yanzhou's family and arrange himself into the Experience Department. As long as there is a problem in the former military governor's mansion, Xu He will definitely help share the attention of the Jin Yiwei!
Everyone talked about what happened with Si for a while and speculated on several possibilities. However, Xu He had not yet taken office, so everyone could only tell him to be careful and not to offend nobles easily. In addition to protecting themselves, they could provide some help to that person. !
Huguang's problem is not something that he or that little Teruma can solve.
To put it bluntly, it's rotten from top to bottom.
Unless everything is replaced from top to bottom.
Since there is no way to give specific instructions on how to deal with the situation, we can only let Xu He go to the Yamen tomorrow to report and act accordingly.
Return to the Princess's Mansion from Xu Song's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang E, the chief minister of the Princess Mansion, came to Xu He and said, "Husband-in-law, Xue Zongkai, the governor of the Yanzhou Bofu and the former military governor's manor, both sent people to send greetings and invite you to visit the mansion."
"Also, Uncle Yanzhou asked people to send a lot of gifts, which is enough for two large cars. I saw that many of them are gold and silver utensils and antique calligraphy and paintings! They are worth a lot of money!" Zhang E whispered.
Xu He looked stern. Before he went to the Yamen to report, these two people came.
What's more, Yanzhou Bo Yuji actually gave such a valuable gift!
Xu He thought for a while and then said to Zhang E: "Make a book of the gifts and give them to Liu Biao for safekeeping!"
Zhang E was stunned when he heard this: "Prince-in-law, Uncle Yanzhou and Xue Tongzhi are both your superiors! When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something..."
Xu He nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, don't worry, I know it well!"
