You must ask for something from others.
Gu Bingqian could tell that there must be something going on when Wei Zhongxian came to find him, and the matter might be quite big.
"Drink!" Wei Zhongxian motioned to Gu Bingqian to drink tea.
Gu Bingqian had no choice but to pick up the tea on the side, put it under his nose, smelled it, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a rare and good tea."
After saying that, he put it to his mouth and took a sip.
"If Mr. Gu Ge likes it, we can have some sent to him when he leaves the palace." Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.
Gu Bingqian put down the tea in his hand, looked at Wei Zhongxian, and asked again: "Father-in-law, if you have something to do, it's okay to say it."
"Okay, then our family won't hide it anymore." Wei Zhongxian lifted his hem, raised his left leg and put it on his right leg, and said at the same time, "Our family wants to let Gao Dengzhi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, go to Liaodong. "
After hearing this, Gu Bingqian hesitated and asked tentatively: "My father-in-law, do you mean to let Gao Shilang be appointed governor of Liaodong?"
"Does Mr. Gu Ge think that our family is stupid? The left minister of the Ministry of War went to Liaodong to serve as governor. Even if our family has no objection, Gao Shilang himself will not be willing." Wei Zhongxian said lightly.
If you don't want to be a governor, you can do Liaodong economic strategy.
Gu Bingqian frowned and said: "Sun Zhisheng, the Liaodong manager, has been doing a good job. I'm afraid there is no reason why he was suddenly replaced!"
"It's hard to find a reason. There are so many eunuchs in Liaodong, and just finding one of them will make Sun Zhisheng lose his official position and return home." Wei Zhongxian sneered.
Gu Bingqian said hesitantly: "The threat of slave thieves is still there. If Sun Zhisheng is suddenly transferred, I am worried that trouble will occur. If the slave thieves do something, it may threaten Guan Ning's safety."
"Sun Zhisheng has made no achievements in Liaodong. In our opinion, he is simply incompetent as a manager of Liaodong. Otherwise, how could he have won a great victory in Jinzhou to deceive the imperial court? As for any trouble, it is even less likely that Liaodong will be won over." Nothing much will happen to those generals." Wei Zhongxian said.
Gu Bingqian felt that Wei Zhongxian was determined to remove Sun Chengzong from his position as Liaodong manager.
"What? Mr. Gu Ge doesn't want to?" Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "It doesn't matter if Mr. Gu Ge doesn't want to take action. Our family can still make Sun Zhisheng leave Liaodong."
Seeing that Wei Zhongxian was beginning to be dissatisfied, Gu Bingqian hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. I was just wondering whether Gao Shilang is a suitable candidate for Liaodong's management. After all, Liaodong's affairs are important and cannot be compromised."
"Don't worry, if our family says he is suitable, then he will be suitable. After he takes office, he will have to deal with you, the chief minister of the cabinet." Seeing that Gu Bingqian had no objection, Wei Zhongxian's face brightened slightly.
Gu Bingqian said: "As long as my father-in-law allows Sun Zhisheng to step down from the position of Liaodong Manager, I will recommend Gao Shilang to take over the position of Liaodong Manager."
"With Mr. Gu Ge's words, our family will feel relieved." Wei Zhongxian smiled again on his face.
After the discussion and a few casual conversations, Gu Bingqian took the initiative to leave on the grounds of being in the palace.
Wei Zhongxian, who got the result he wanted, did not stop him and arranged for the young eunuch waiting outside to send Gu Bingqian away.
As soon as he came out of the room, Gu Bingqian followed the young eunuch to Wenyuan Pavilion without saying a word.
But my heart kept thinking.
He knew that Wei Zhongxian could not be so kind as to send Gao Denzhi to Liaodong to do business. In addition to not liking Sun Chengzong, the other reason was for Liao's salary.
Every year, the imperial court spends a large amount of Liao money on Liaodong. Naturally, it is impossible for all of this money to be used on Liao affairs. Most of it is divided up by the generals of Liaodong. Naturally, the civil servants of Liaodong also have to share the money. Some important ministers and household officials in the court , are indispensable for their own share.
Gao Dengzhi went to Liaodong as a manager. Naturally, Wei Zhongxian's share of Liao's salary would be indispensable in the future.
Of course, as the chief assistant, because he wanted to recommend Gao Denzhi to go to Liaodong to do business, Wei Zhongxian had promised to give him a benefit.
Sitting back in his signature room in Wenyuan Pavilion, Gu Bingqian picked up the hot tea that the middle school roommate had brewed for him.
He knew in his heart that even if he did not support Gao Dengzhi's appointment as Liaodong manager, with Wei Zhongxian's ability, he would most likely be successful.
Therefore, he did not intend to get into trouble with Wei Zhongxian over such a trivial matter, and decided to contribute a little bit to Gao Denzhi's matter. As for Sun Chengzong's matter, he was not prepared to intervene, leaving it to Wei Zhongxian to resolve it himself.
Mid-October.
Sun Chengzong was implicated in the Liuhe defeat, and was impeached by Yan Guan together with Yu Anxing, the governor of Jiliao, and was dismissed by the court at the same time. Gao Di, the left minister of the Ministry of War, successfully took over the position of Liaodong Manager.
The change of Liaodong Economic Strategy will not have a big impact on Liaodong's generals.
No matter who is responsible for the management of Liaodong, they must rely on these generals to ensure the stability of Liaodong.
Tiger Character Banner planted many secret spies in Liaodong and sent the news back to Datong as soon as possible.
Yang Yuan, who has been elusive recently, suddenly came to the main town office of Datong Town.
"Come in and report that Yang Yuan has something important to report." Yang Yuan said to the guard guarding the door.
At this time, Liu Heng's voice was heard coming from the signing room, "Is it Yang Yuan? Come in directly! No need to report."
The guard opened the cotton curtain in front of the security room for Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan stepped in.
"Let's warm up by the fire first. There was a heavy snowfall on the grassland not long ago. Winter has come earlier than ever this year." Liu Heng said to Yang Yuan who entered the house.
In the signing room, the stove had already been set up, and a teapot was placed on it, with hot steam spitting out from the spout.
Yang Yuan walked over, picked up the teapot and put it aside, put his hand on the stove to bake, and said at the same time: "News has just been sent from Liaodong. The new Liaodong manager has withdrawn from Jinzhou, Youtun and other places. We used defensive equipment to drive all the defenders to Guanli, and we even had a big quarrel with Yuan Chenghuan over this."
"The Ministry of Revenue has no money and food again?" Tianqi frowned.
Gu Bingqian's mouth twitched when he heard this.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has always been about Yin and Mao Liang. Whenever there is money and grain, it is new.
Tianqi hesitated for a moment and said: "Gu Aiqing should discuss it with Li Shangshu and see if we can squeeze out part of the Ministry of Household Affairs to grab grain. Countering the rebellion is a major matter and cannot be delayed."
"Li Shangshu has no money and salt, and his ministers are incompetent." Gu Bingqian bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Tianqi was in a bad mood.
Without money and food, he could not send a large army to Datong to quell the rebellion. If he could not quell the rebellion, he would have no choice but to let the Liu thieves cause trouble in Datong, which he did not want to see.
However, the Ministry of Hubu could not come up with money and food to quell the rebellion, and he had no choice. He could not force the Minister of Hubu to come up with money and food to quell the rebellion.
"Your Majesty?" Gu Bingqian said softly.
Tianqi waved his hand and said in annoyance: "You can't put down the rebellion first and then replenish the money and food. I heard that the Liu thief has a lot of money and food. After Liu thief is wiped out, I can allow the army to take away the money and food from the fifth floor of Liu thief."
