He gave the envelope to the side general and asked him to send it to Hu Zongxian in an expedition of 800 miles.

The side general left in a hurry, and Luo Zhi kept standing by watching when Luo Xin was writing the letter. This was what Luo Xin allowed, and the purpose was to let Luo Zhi grow up as soon as possible. After the side general left, Luo Zhi couldn't help but suck his hands and said:

"Wonderful! You and Hu Zongxian each wrote a letter to the court to add a governor as soon as possible, which means that His Majesty's suspicion of you will be eliminated."

"It's not that simple!" Luo Xin chuckled: "Once Hu Zongxian and I wrote a letter, including the Xu Party, their goal will turn to the struggle for power and profit in the south, and they will focus on fighting for the addition of the Southeast Governor. Rumors will pass."

"Not bad!" Luo Zhi smiled and said, "They will pounce on it like a fly that sees rotten eggs."

He discussed with Luo Zhi again. After Luo Zhi left, Luo Xin began to think about the arrangements of the entire south. He knew that after he and Hu Zongxian wrote a letter, Emperor Jiajing would first feel at ease.

Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian both expressed their feelings, and letting the court add a governor to show that neither of them is interested in the South?

In other words, after they waited to destroy the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, the two of them would return to Beijing immediately.

In this way, Emperor Jiajing did not have the intention to doubt Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian?

He has a lot to consider. One governor in each province, so seven governors are needed. Who will be the one?

He has to consider not only who is suitable, but also balance.

There is no doubt that those aristocratic families will flock to compete for these seven quotas. Emperor Jiajing would not give all these quotas to those aristocratic families to decide, otherwise would the world still belong to the Old Zhu family?

Of course, no one can be left unavailable. Emperor Jiajing spent his entire life fighting with aristocratic families. Speaking of which, neither Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, did not completely defeat the aristocratic families. Why is he Jiajing?

So he had to find a balance, which was also a balance between the royal family and the aristocratic family, as well as a balance between the aristocratic family, which was already very brain-burning.

In addition to these, we also need to consider how to arrange Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian.

It’s okay for Luo Xin. Under Luo Xin’s operation, Emperor Jiajing had already determined in his heart that Luo Xin did not care about being an official, and Luo Xin was very young, and now he was only twenty-six years old, but he was already a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. How else do you want to promote it?

Could it be that the twenty-six-year-old Luo Xin has been promoted to the second grade?

That is really a bit exaggerated. How can you improve after King Yu ascends the throne?

If there is no reward, that is the most terrible thing.

Um!

You can increase Luo Xin's title by one step further and raise the second-class marquis to the first waiting. This has already reached the title, and it is impossible to grant Luo Xin the title of Duke.

Emperor Jiajing was also very troubled. He was a little afraid that Luo Xin would make another contribution.

As for Hu Zongxian, it was even more troublesome.

Now Hu Zongxian seems to have suddenly become enlightened, and he is resolute in suppressing bandits and is willing to return to Beijing. In this way, Emperor Jiajing always wants to give Hu Zongxian a suitable reward, right?

The resistance to reward Hu Zongxian is not an ordinary one.

With so many things, Emperor Jiajing still has the leisure to doubt and fear Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian?

The same is true for those ministers. Most of their energy should be focused on fighting for the position of governor, and they should also consider how to suppress Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian.

Therefore, Luo Xin firmly believed that after he and Hu Zongxian wrote a letter, the basic rumors would disappear.

but……

Luo Xin could not hand over the South without any grudges. Is his hard work in the South just to pick fruits for others?

Therefore, among the additional governors, there must be his own people, and it cannot be just one. He must basically control the South in his own hands.

Yu Dayou should be able to become the governor of the Navy and guard Suzhou.

But is Yu Dayou considered Luo Xin’s person?

Almost half!

As long as Luo Xin does not rebel, Yu Dayou will stand firmly on Luo Xin's side, even if he offends the emperor because of this. This is his personality. However, once rebel, Yu Dayou has a high possibility of giving up Luo Xin. Therefore, Yu Dayou can be considered a person in Luo Xin's camp, but he cannot be regarded as Luo Xin's confidant.

Qi Jiguang is closer to Luo Xin than Yu Dayou. It can be said that Qi Jiguang is already Luo Xin's confidant, but now Emperor Jiajing and the people in the court probably think that Yu Dayou is his confidant. If he fought for the position of governor for Qi Jiguang at this time, neither Jiajing nor the cabinet would agree. It would be enough for Luo Xin to have a confidant in the south. Do you want two more?

In other words, only one of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou can choose.

Luo Xin thought carefully that Yu Dayou was the southern navy, and the importance of the navy to the south was self-evident. Therefore, it was easier to elect Yu Dayou as one of the governors than to elect Qi Jiguang.

What should Qi Jiguang do?

Luo Xin felt a little embarrassed and didn't come up with an idea for a while. He sighed and temporarily put it aside and did what he had to do first.

After spreading out the paper, I began to write letters to Emperor Jiajing.

First, he reported to Emperor Jiajing about Hu Zongxian's bandit suppression, as well as the government affairs he took charge of the southern government, and then made suggestions, hoping that the court could put the addition of the southern governor on the agenda as soon as possible. Once the bandit suppression was over, those governors could also take office as quickly as possible, or they could take office in advance, under Luo Xin's leadership, so there would be a time for a smooth transition. The military and political affairs of the south would not cause any turmoil after Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian left.

After writing the letter, he looked carefully at both sides. After no problem, Luo Xin sealed an envelope and sent it to the capital.

Luo Xin was still thinking hard about how to arrange Qi Jiguang, but he received a letter from Hu Zongxian.

The main content of Hu Zongxian's letter was to tell some of the current situation and his own analysis. However, he immediately recommended someone to Luo Xin later, hoping that Luo Xin could help recommend that person to become one of the governors of the South.

This person is Zhang Zhongcheng, the current governor of Guangdong.

Luo Xin has been in the south for many years and has a very detailed understanding of the civil and military officials in the south. Therefore, when he saw Zhang Zhongcheng's name, information about him appeared in his mind.

Zhang Zhongcheng, whose courtesy name is Zhengye and his pseudonym is Baichuan.

In the fifth year of Jiajing, he was definitely an old man, only one class later than Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet. Although he was a Jinshi, he was well-versed in military affairs. He had been a minister of Fujian, Shu, Chu, and several times to suppress rebellions for the court. He had made great achievements and knew everything about the government and the country. Among them, the Miao Rebellion in Yibin and the Xiang Rebellion in Chu were all great victories.
