"Damn eunuch." Zuo Guangdou slapped his hand on the table at hand angrily, "It must be Wei Zhongxian's idea again. Unless he is eliminated, there will never be peace in the court."
Zhao Nanxing stroked his beard and said: "It is a good thing to send Shaanxi Chief Executive Xing Youwei to guard Juyong Pass. This way there is no need to deploy troops from Liaodong. This is not what you want."
"Governor Xuanda, for such an important position, there should be a more suitable candidate." Zuo Guangdou said.
Yang Lian on the side said: "Brother Mengbai, do you think that in the name of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can recommend Hong Yanyan, the political left-wing councilor of the two Zhejiang Provincial Governments? One more candidate and one more choice."
"It's too late, I'm afraid the decree has already been issued." Zhao Nanxing shook his head slightly, and then said, "It's useless even if I recommend this Hong Yanyan, one is in the south and the other is in the north. It is obvious that the participation of Shaanxi chief envoys in politics is more important." Advantage, even if your Majesty chooses between two people, he will only choose the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi to participate in politics."
He gave up on two ideas of recommending Hong Yanyan as the governor of Xuanda.
"Xing Youwei went to Juyongguan, so the seat of Shaanxi Chief Envoy to participate in politics will be vacant!" Gao Panlong, who had been drinking tea, suddenly said.
Zhao Nanxing nodded towards him.
Gao Panlong continued: "Since Hong Yanyan cannot ascend to the position of Governor of Xuanda in one step, he can go to Shaanxi to take over the vacant Shaanxi Chief Envoy to participate in politics. With the experience of serving as an official in one south and one north, what will happen in the future? Opportunities may not necessarily come your way.”
Zhao Nanxing looked thoughtful after hearing this.
"I think it's good." Zuo Guangdou said, "Now the north is in turmoil. There are slave rebels in Liaodong, Liu rebels in Datong, and civil unrest in Shaanxi from time to time. It's time to send a capable minister to the north to take charge. Hong Yan Yan is the most suitable person."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Nanxing.
The Minister of Civil Affairs may not be able to make the final decision on the appointment of a local governor, but it is much easier for a third-rank envoy to participate in politics. As long as Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is willing to recommend Hong Yanyan to Shaanxi Province, unless the emperor There is a favorite candidate, otherwise it is rare to refute the face of a minister of officialdom.
"I'll give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not is not a good thing." Zhao Nanxing agreed bravely, but he didn't say anything.
Now that he is over sixty years old, he no longer has such a strong desire to fight, and the situation in the DPRK and China is also very different from a few years ago. In the past, for such an important matter as the appointment of Governor Xuanda, he, the Minister of Staff, should be called to discuss the selection issue, not Like now, the decision to appoint Governor Xuanda has reached the cabinet, and he, the Minister of Personnel, got the news.
It can be seen that he, the official minister, has lost his sacred heart.
Zuo Guangdou said optimistically: "With Brother Mengbai's recommendation, the emperor will definitely approve it."
"I hope so!" Zhao Nanxing sighed softly.
However, several people in the room did not realize that Zhao Nanxing was not in the right mood. Instead, they cursed the eunuch and discussed with each other how to kill Wei eunuch.
Zhao Nanxing picked up the tureen on the table and took a sip of tea. He watched several colleagues in the room denounce the eunuchs, but he did not participate in them.
At this moment he was thinking.
If Ye Jinqing were still the chief minister of the cabinet, what would the situation in the court be like? Would it be like the few people in front of me, who were bent on dealing with the eunuchs but were indifferent to the Liu thief of Xuanda.
"Sir, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has just sent news that the appointment of Governor Xuan has been sent to Shaanxi." The housekeeper at home came to Zhao Nanxing and whispered in Zhao Nanxing's ear.
Zhao Nanxing asked: "Did you tell me where to dispatch troops to Juyongguan?"
He didn't lower his voice when he spoke, and everyone in the room heard what he said.
Yang Lian and others all looked at him.
"The person who came didn't say anything." The housekeeper shook his head.
Zhao Nanxing nodded slightly and said, "I understand, go down and prepare. I'm going to entertain a few colleagues at home tonight."
"Young man, go and get ready." The butler bowed and left the room.
As soon as the people left, Yang Lian immediately asked: "Is there anything else going on with Governor Xuanda?"
"The Holy One has appointed Governor Xuanda, and there is no possibility of any changes." Zhao Nanxing said, "Just now, my servants told me that the official department has sent news, and the person who announced the decree has rushed to Shaanxi, and the decree will be delivered soon."
Yang Lian asked eagerly: "Did you tell me which troops to send to suppress the rebellion?"
"That's not to say that the Lord and the cabinet have other ideas." Zhao Nanxing said.
Zuo Guangdou on the side said: "The soldiers and horses of Liaodong cannot be moved. The slave thieves are a greater threat than the Liu thieves. At the next court meeting, I hope that everyone will come forward to prevent the emperor from sending troops and horses from Liaodong to Xuanda."
"Have you thought about how to quell Xuanda's rebellion without deploying troops and horses from Liaodong?" Zhao Nanxing said with dissatisfaction.
Zuo Guangdou said: "The rebellion in Xuanda was entirely caused by Wei Gong. That Liu thief used to be the proprietor of a business called Huzi Banner in Datong. A few years ago, he had close contacts with Wei Gong. Now Liu Tie If a thief plots rebellion, it will be hard for Wei Eunuch to escape his involvement."
"I've also heard people say that when Thief Liu opened a shop in the capital, Wei Yi often went to this shop." Gao Panlong added from the side.
Yang Lian, who was sitting in his seat, had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Seeing that Wei Gong was around again, Zhao Nanxing simply stopped saying anything.
However, Zuo Guangdou and Gao Panlong once again denounced Wei Gong, and also jointly participated in the charge of Wei Gong's collusion with Xuan Da's rebellious minister Liu Thief in an attempt to rebel.
In the capital city, an inconspicuous grocery store closed the door as soon as it got dark.
In the main room of the shop, an oil lamp was lit on the table.
The faint flame on the oil rope gave the room a little more light.
The furnishings in the room are extremely simple. There is a wooden box in the inner corner, a bench beside it, and an earthen kang on the side near the window.
There was a table placed on top of the Tukang, and the oil lamp was placed on the table. In addition, there was a plate of peanuts and a jug of wine.
There is a person on each side of the table.
A wine cup was placed in front of the two people, which was already filled with wine.
"Chen Shizheng has led his army to the front line of Badaling. As long as the Juyong Pass is broken, he can immediately send his troops south to attack the capital. Once the capital is captured, our boss will become the Dragon Court." A man next to the desk was full of excitement. said.
The person sitting opposite was the spy king Zi Ziqi, who had the highest position in the capital of the Tiger-Character Banner Foreign Intelligence Bureau. He picked up a peanut on the plate and threw it into his mouth. While chewing, he said: "There are not many people in the First War Division." When we reach 20,000 soldiers and horses, we will be left alone after breaking through Juyong Pass. Even if we are lucky enough to capture the capital, it will be difficult to hold it. After the proprietor captures Xuanfu, I am afraid he will not continue to send troops southward."
"You are exaggerating other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige. Now there is such a good opportunity to change the dynasty. It would be a pity to miss it." Lu Chunbo said across the table.
