Chapter eight hundred and sixty-five degrees
Emperor Longqing was excited when he heard this and asked: "Later, he still recruited Wang Zhi, why didn't Hu Ruzhen take action?"
"Ahem, the late emperor issued an order to pay equal attention to the suppression." Qian Yuan said simply.
You can't boast that you have a high prestige among the southeastern army. You can get rid of the firefighting generals Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, Yang Wen, Lu Bin, and Tan Lun all won over, and even pulled Dong Bangzheng and Ge Hao, the only two navy generals in the southeastern world, leaving Hu Zongxian helpless.
Later, Shen Mingchen and Zheng Ruozeng left the Governor's Office and even talked about this privately with Qian Yuan. Hu Zongxian was so angry that he smashed the study twice. Once, he wanted to order Qi Jiguang with official documents. Lu Bin led his army to fight, but the staff discussed it privately, and finally asked Wang Yin to persuade Hu Zongxian.
Emperor Longqing did not continue to ask questions. After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "Use the method of plundering the people?"
Qian Yuan was happy. It was obvious that Emperor Longqing asked about the charges he had submitted to Hu Zongxian in the impeachment memorials. This was a good thing.
Qian Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It is true that if the military expenditure is insufficient, the next level will be immediately raised. Some Fuzhou in Jiangxi and Fujian have been registered for 40 years. In the past two years, the Fujian Governor Wu Weixi has a headache. In the Jiangxi... Zhao Dazhou ignored it, but after Hu Zongxian took office as the governor of Jiangxi, he wrote several letters to request the abolition of Fuzhou's taxes."
"I said back then that this is a disaster... but Hu Ruzhen really has no choice."
"However, the method of formulating silver is used instead of taxes and servants will be divided into silver. Zhongxuan Gong, Zhang Shuda, and Zhang Ziwei all wanted to use this as the foundation and try the one-whip method."
Emperor Longqing nodded slightly, and he naturally knew that this was the most important thing in Gao Gong's new policy.
After a pause, Qian Yuan whispered: "Since the 34th year of Jiajing, the Governor General Office of Xuzhezhi in the court has been organized by six provinces, and since then, the Ministry of Revenue has not provided any silver or grain."
Emperor Longqing coughed twice and cursed: "How much benefit did Hu Ruzhen give you? Talking for him like this!"
"No benefit." Qian Yuan shrugged, "I said just now that I have a good relationship with Hu Ruzhen."
"Well, Zhan Cai turned the tide in Jiaxing Prefecture that year. After returning to Beijing, he met with him. He said that Ruan Ying recommends incompetent and Hu Ruzhen is indecent."
Qian Yuan felt a little excited. This was indeed true, but those who knew that he had said this... Except for Emperor Jiajing, only Huang Jin was present, Feng Bao was not in the hall, and the nine ministers of the cabinet recommended the governor of Zhejiang to wait in the front hall that day.
He was still dealing with it, but Qian Yuan was glad that he chose the ten reals today, otherwise he would have fallen into this place. Emperor Longqing actually asked Huang Jin in advance, and this little ambush was prepared...
"That's true, Hu Zongxian has a narrow magnanimity." Qian Yuan narrowed his eyes and talked about the old things that happened back then. He talked about his despising Hu Zongxian in front of Emperor Jiajing, but he politely advised Emperor Jiajing not to change his commander in the face of the battle.
With Qian Yuan's story, Emperor Longqing was very excited and asked from time to time. He did not feel too much disgusted or belittled about Hu Zongxian in his words, and even praised Hu Zongxian's military talent... Qian Yuan's heart began to stir up trouble.
I prepared very well, but I seemed to have a little too good eloquence... No, Emperor Longqing's mind was much shallower than Emperor Jiajing. If it were the latter, it would definitely be neither yin nor yang, and I was half-believing and half-doubting.
Qian Yuan did intend to explain it to Hu Zongxian today. He went to Huangshan in his previous life and had been to Longchuan. He was very interested in the historical figure Hu Zongxian.
Half a lifetime of wiseness and half a lifetime of treacherousness, he ascended to a high position by conspiracy and conspiracy, and his conspiracy was made to the state, which allowed this man to be criticized countless times in the original time and space, and had to commit suicide. Hu Zongxian, who wrote the poem "The sword buried the injustice, and the loyal soul surrounds the white clouds", was alive, and Qian Yuan was happy to see it.
What's more, most of the people in Suiyuan were born in Zhejiang, Su Song, and he didn't want to see this famous anti-Japanese official lost all his reputation, and was sentenced to prison and returned to the west.
There are even Shen Mingchen, He Xinyin, Tang Shunzhi, Mei Shoude, and Zheng Ruozeng who are still in the capital... These people are all from the Southeastern Scholars. They all despise the Yan Party, but even if they despise Hu Zongxian's character, they also admire Hu Zongxian's courage to take responsibility.
However, in Qian Yuan's opinion, Hu Zongxian is just a snake, and a poisonous snake, but he is now frozen.
Therefore, today's interview requires a good grasp of the degree... If Hu Zongxian escaped the disaster of being impeached, and even got the appreciation of Emperor Longqing because of his courage to take responsibility, then it is really not good news for Qian Yuan.
Hu Zongxian is too involved with the Southeast incident and knows too much. The grudges and hatreds with Qian Yuan are complicated and hard to describe... He cleared the charges of the party and returned to the court for his military achievements. Who knows which side he would surrender?
Li Mo? Xu Jie? Gao Gong?
From the perspective of personality and relationship, Li Mo's chances of taking action against Sui Yuan are not high, but it is hard to say the other two... Once Hu Zongxian is won over by these two people, the root of disaster will be planted. Maybe when something will happen, or even implicate everything in the southeast.
Therefore, the best result is that Hu Zongxian was dismissed from office and retired, and honestly left home to retire... As for Hu Zongxian, who is not yet fifty years old, is still strong in his youth, and is willing to retire... Then he has no choice but to do so.
Qian Yuan can also make a favor and establish his image of serving the country with one heart...at least in front of Emperor Longqing.
Therefore, after commenting on Hu Zongxian's military achievements in Liangzhe, Susong, Fujian, and Jiangxi, Qian Yuan lowered his head and said expressionlessly: "At the end of the 36th year of Jiajing, the people in Fujian were in chaos and they broke into three prefectures. Hu Ruzhen, who was the governor of Zhejiang at that time, wanted to cross the border to attack the bandits, but the court transferred Yu Dayou as the general of Nangan to suppress the bandits, and Hu Ruzhen did not give military pay..."
Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment before reacting, his face turned pale, he was furious, and he slapped the table and scolded: "Wolf ambition, Zhan Cai still wants to plead for this?!"
As long as you are not stupid, you can figure it out with a brief thought. Hu Zongxian does not want Yu Dayou to succeed, and even hopes that Yu Dayou will be defeated. By then, who is more suitable for turning the tide than Hu Zongxian?
Fortunately, Qian Yuan happened to borrow the Wang Zhi fleet to send Qi Jimei's troops into Fujian. The latter's Gutian victory became the turning point in the war in Fujian, which was also a battle where Qi Jimei's reputation rose.
A simple passage immediately made Emperor Longqing's impression of Hu Zongxian turn 180 degrees... Qian Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"For public and private matters, my ministers despise it. At that time, the Zhejiang Governor's Office was full of talents, so I was so concerned about this matter. Shen Mingchen, Zheng Ruozeng, and He Xinyin's many heroes left the Jixi River and scattered." Qian Yuan said calmly: "However, when the southeast attacked the Japanese, Hu Ruozhen was indeed the first contribution."
"If such a minister has the talent of heaven and earth, how can I dare to use it?" Emperor Longqing's face looked very ugly, "God is merit, fault is fault, and merit cannot be counterproductive!"
"A teacher who never forgets the past and the next thing is killed. Zeng Zizhong was slandered and died. It was difficult for more than ten years to keep the frontier. The lesson is not far away."
Qian Yuan fell to the ground, "If the southeastern chaos will reign in the future, if the Japanese scourge will rise again, if the Western vassal states attack, if Hu Ruzhen is ahead, who dares to stand up?"
