Chapter 643 Exchange
Yan Song was not wrong, it was indeed Xu Jie who was hit by him.
Before the court promoted the governor of Jiangxi, Xu Jie had already reported secretly, recommending the governor of Fujian Wu Baipeng as governor of Jiangxi and presided over the extermination of the bandit army.
Xu Jie saw it very clearly. In terms of qualifications, ability, and hometown, there are too few candidates who can take on such heavy responsibilities.
Presiding over the extermination of the bandit army means that this candidate must have military achievements, be familiar with military affairs, and be familiar with the war situation in the Southeast. Considering the level, Wu Baipeng... is almost the only choice.
That's why Xu Jie chose to secretly recommend Wu Baipeng. He knew too much about Emperor Jiajing. This emperor was proficient in power and was best at checking and balance. What he didn't want to see was his subordinates' harmony.
Yan Song and Xia Yan, Xu Jie and Yan Song... fought in full swing, but the root of the matter was still in Emperor Jiajing.
In Xu Jie's view, Yan Song had only two candidates, one of whom was Wu Baipeng and the other was Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang.
Therefore, Xu Jie concluded that if Yan Song also secretly recommended Wu Baipeng, Emperor Jiajing would probably be suspicious because two important officials who fought against the black-eyed chicken recommended the same candidate.
If Yan Song recommended Hu Zongxian... Emperor Jiajing would probably stay in Zhongzhong and not be sent. After all, the demotion of the Governor of Zhejiang Direct was unreasonable in the open.
Xu Jie's secret message seemed insidious, but in fact it was a conspiracy. Whether Yan Song recommended Wu Baipeng or Hu Zongxian, the possibility of Emperor Jiajing hesitation was very high.
In this case, Xu Jie has room to use his means and the possibility of negotiating conditions.
Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Jie secretly recommended Wu Baipeng...at least he was fair and selfless on the surface. Emperor Jiajing knew that Wu Baipeng was not Xu Jie's person.
Yan Song guessed that it was Xu Jie's method, but Xu Jie guessed that Yan Song was recommended by mistake.
In the study, Xu Jie opened the envelope with his own hands, glanced at the letter paper with only eight words, and handed it to Zhang Juzheng opposite him with a smile.
"How to control the rebellion of Fujian, Japanese and Jiangxi?" Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly, "Is it sent by Yan's mansion?"
Xu Jie nodded, "It's not what Your Majesty said, it should be a good idea. I'm going to discuss one or two."
Zhang Juzheng unconsciously bent his fingers and rubbed them slowly on the table. After a while, he spoke: "Is it about Jixi?"
Xu Jie nodded with a smile, thinking that Yan Song's recommendation should be Hu Zongxian... But it doesn't matter, Your Majesty never made any statement today.
Xu Jie smiled and said, "Yang Shun was sentenced to crime. The Yan Party was the most important member outside the party. Hu Zongxian. At this moment, he led a large army to station in Chuzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang. It was very convenient to enter Jiangxi. Liu Xian, the general under his command, was from Jiangxi, so he was naturally the best candidate to wipe out the thief army."
Zhang Juzheng wondered: "However, Hu Zongxian was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang, the Minister of War, and the left assistant censor of the Censorate. How could he be demoted to the governor of Jiangxi?"
Xu Jiexu lit up the paper on the table, and Zhang Juzheng suddenly realized, "Governor of Fujian and Jiangxi?"
"Not bad." Xu Jie stood up, "Uncle, do you think it's right or not?"
Xu Jie used his own judgment this time, and he didn't care about Songjiang, which was invaded by Japanese pirates, so he felt that Yan Song would not be too worried about the right place to settle his hometown.
Zhang Juzheng then stood up, lowered his eyes slightly, blocking the complicated eyes, and said slowly: "Wu Weixiping transferred the governor of Jiangxi to lead Qi Jimei, Yu Dayou entered Jiangxi, and it is not difficult to destroy the bandit army."
Xu Jie frowned and scolded, "I only talk about Jixi."
"This person has a good military and martial arts strategy. He has suppressed the Japanese stricken in Zhejiang for several years. He has military achievements. He is very sorry that his size is narrow and he has clinged to the strict party..." Zhang Juzheng paused and suddenly raised his head, "Governor of Jiangxi?"
Zhang Juzheng, who was in his early thirties, understood the essence of politics at this moment, which was a compromise and an exchange of interests.
The bandit army entered Jiangxi and threatened Yan Song's hometown. With such a good opportunity, Xu Jie took advantage of the situation and wanted to seize the position of governor of Jiangxi.
After Wang Zhi offered three hundred giant trees, Xu Jie could no longer find a breakthrough in Hu Zongxian's recruitment of Wang Zhi. He didn't care that Hu Zongxian was transferred to the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi, but taking the governor of Jiangxi would become Xu Jie's trump card.
Zhang Juzheng hesitated for a moment and advised: "Shi Prime Minister, Governor of Jiangxi..."
Although he didn't say it, Xu Jie could understand what Zhang Juzheng meant. It was best not to do some things... If the rules were broken, it would be difficult to block everyone's mouth afterwards.
Yan Song and Xu Jie have fought for so many years, but they have never broken through the bottom line.
What bottom line?
Yan Song never got involved in the position of Governor Su Song. Peng An and Tu Dashan were both Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing and Xu Jie's party in the same year.
Xu Jie never expressed his desire for the governor of Jiangxi, and even the candidates at the prefect and county level did not interfere.
To put it simply, the hometown is under the control of political enemies. For Yan Song and Xu Jie, it is like a thorn on their backs, making them unable to sit down. After all, no one’s butt is clean.
To put it bluntly, once something happens... it means that the party struggles spread from the court to all parts of the country, which is not a good thing.
Xu Jie squinted his eyes and looked at the student in front of him. Zhang Juzheng just called him "teacher's name" instead of "father-in-law", which was hard to understand.
After a moment of silence, Xu Jie smiled and said, "What Uncle said is right. First, Zhao Dazhou has no longer achieved success in Zhejiang. He will be transferred to the governor of Jiangxi. After several years of hard work, he can return to Beijing to join the six ministries."
After the Battle of Hou Taoshan, although Zhao Zhenji had nothing on the surface... not only the officials of Ning Shaotai Prefectures, but even the officials from the Southeast were aware of it. This time, Dazhou Gong was completely dissatisfied.
Being played with by a group of pirates, Zhao Zhenji is now in Zhejiang... and is ordered not to leave the governor's gate.
Coupled with Qian Yuan's attitude towards Zhao Zhenji, Wang Zhi offered three hundred giant trees for reconstruction of the three halls. Xu Jie had already given up on Zhejiang, and being transferred to the governor of Jiangxi was a good choice.
Zhang Juzheng nodded repeatedly, thinking about it in his mind, and he also knew that Zhao Zhenji had secretly arrested Wang Zhi and tried to disrupt the affairs of Zhejiang Province... This method was really not a good deal, but it just happened to run into Zhan Cai.
"Second." Xu Jie suddenly stopped his mouth, picked up a brush and dipped it in the inkstone pool.
Zhang Juzheng picked up the ink ingot and slowly grind the ink. He secretly watched Xu Jie turn his pen with a stroke. He suddenly took two steps back and bowed down, "The kindness of my father-in-law's support, my son-in-law will never forget this life."
He used to be called "Master's Prime Minister" but now he is called "father-in-law". A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Jie's mouth. This thought is really not inferior to others.
That night, the reply letter was sent to Yan's mansion.
"Xingdu?" Yan Song glanced and put down, "What's the point?"
Yan Shifan, who was a hero of the news, immediately explained: "Huating must refer to the Xingdu Zhi."
The so-called Xingdu is actually Zhongxiang County, Anluzhou, the birthplace of Emperor Jiajing. In the 16th year of Zhengde, Emperor Jiajing entered the capital and ascended the throne. Later, Anluzhou was changed to Chengtian Prefecture, and Zhongxiang was changed to Xingdu.
The study of history has always been a shortcut for Hanlin officials to be promoted to Zhan Shi Mansion. The study of "Xingdu Zhi" is even more avenue to heaven. As early as the 20th year of Jiajing, the "Xingdu Zhi" was written, but Emperor Jiajing was not satisfied.
Yan Shifan thought about it, "I'm afraid it's paving the way for his son-in-law?"
Yan Song sighed, "If you re-revise the Xingdu Zhi, Huating will be the president of the father. Could it be that Xu Huating can't put Uncle Zhang in and do a compilation?"
Seeing that his son hadn't reacted yet, Yan Song sternly said: "Huating means the Eastern Palace!"
Yan Shifan was shocked and jumped up suddenly, "Yes, Uncle Zhang wants to enter Prince Yu's Mansion!"
Zhang Juzheng was born as a Japanese lecturer and has been teaching for nearly three years. If the "Xingdu Zhi" is re-revised, once the lecturer of the Prince Yu's house is missing, there is no doubt that he can be made up immediately.
