Chapter 68 Prophet?
Chapter 68: A prophet?
The woman in the room was polite and charming. She invited Yue Su into the room, which made Mr. Yue a little confused for a moment.
The person who sent the message through the flying arrow could not be this woman. There must be another helper, but what is the purpose of the other party?
Yue Su hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hand and said, "Since the girl is kind enough to invite you, then Yue will be disrespectful." With that, he stepped towards the room.
Tie Qiu and Li Haoquan also felt something strange, so they followed in together. The maid at the door did not stop them, but gently closed the door.
Yue Su took a few steps forward. When he was still three steps away from the table, he stopped and said, "I wonder how the girl knew that Yue would be here today?"
"The little girl Qin Xin comes to see Master Yue." The woman did not answer immediately. She gave a big gift first and then said: "It's not that the little girl knew that the master would be here today, but a young master said that the master would definitely come here within the next two days.
I'll come soon, let the little lady pay attention carefully."
"Oh?" Yue Su was shocked and asked, "Which young master is it?"
"This young master is waiting for you in the inner room." Qin Xin said softly.
Her room was a suite, with a main room outside and a bedroom inside. Yue Su glanced at the bedroom, and Li Haoquan immediately understood. He walked to the door in one stride, stretched out his hand to open the door, then pressed his palms together, and took a stance.
There is a bed in the bedroom, a table in the center, and two chairs. Sitting on one of the chairs is a young man in white. This young man is none other than Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie's face is filled with a warm smile.
He also held a black paper fan in his palm. He looked outside and said with a smile: "Master Yue, you don't have to face a formidable enemy. The next person is here."
"Haoquan, please step back first."
Li Haoquan bowed and stepped aside. Yue Su looked up and saw that Jiang Jie in the room was well-groomed and well-dressed. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I don't know why this husband, with his surname, invited Yue here.
"
"Mr. Yue, my surname is Jiang Mingjie. I am from Qingzhou, Shandong. Because my ancestors made great contributions during the Jingnan period, I am a hereditary general with martial virtues. I have thousands of households in Qingzhou." Jiang Jie stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Why have you invited me here?
I wrote very clearly in my letter the day before yesterday. Now there is a big "chaos" in Shandong. Xiao Ke has a plan to quell the enemy and govern the world, but he is not interested in showing his ambition. Today, I would like to dedicate this plan to you as a way to advance to the next level.
Capital."
Jiang Jie is quite a bachelor, he doesn't mince words in his words and expresses his intentions straightforwardly.
Yue Su also liked this kind of people and said: "Yue is always thirsty for talents. If his husband has the ability to stabilize the country and govern the world, Yue Su will definitely recommend him to the emperor."
"In this case, Jiang will thank you in advance. Can you come in and talk?" Jiang Jie said with a smile.
Su put his hands behind his back and walked inside. Tie Qiu and Li Haoquan wanted to follow him inside, but Yue Su waved his hands to them and asked them to stay outside.
Jiang Jie didn't expect that Yue Su would enter the room alone. Seeing that he was so broad-minded, he felt more and more admiration in his heart and said, "Qin'er, please play a song for the two of you. Lord Yue and I will talk in the room."
"Yes, young master." Qin Xin agreed, and then gently stroked the Yao Qin, and the sound of the Qin lingered in the ileum, melodious and melodious.
Tie Qiu and Li Haoquan did not close the door to the inner room, and listened to the piano while staring inside. These two were both old and rough, and they were really not interested in the music.
Yue Su entered the inner room and sat across the table from Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie picked up the teapot on the table, politely poured two cups of tea, and said: "Shandong's religious bandits are causing chaos because many local civil and military officials have been
When I was brought to the capital, the new official had not yet taken up his post, so people were panicked and tried their best to resist the religious bandits, which is why the White Lotus Sect became so arrogant. Of course, there is also your fault in this, I don’t know if what I am saying is right.”
"My husband is right." Yue Su nodded.
"Looking at the current situation, the imperial court should dispatch good generals to Shandong as soon as possible to preside over the judgment. Unfortunately, the party struggle will harm the country, and I am afraid there will be great changes in this." Jiang Jie said with a smile again.
"Oh? What changes will happen?" Yue Su said curiously.
"There are a few people in Beijing who can command the army now, but in terms of seniority, there are only two left. One is the Minister of War, Gao Di, but he is from Wei Zhongxian and does not know how to fight, so let him go
If so, Shandong will probably fall into the enemy's hands within a few days. The other one is Xiong Tingbi from your residence. If he takes action, it should not be difficult to quell the rebellion. But..." Jiang Jie
At the end of the sentence, he deliberately groaned to show off his words.
"It's just that your current ally, Fang Gelao, the leader of the three parties in Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, is focused on eradicating dissidents. I am afraid that he will not recommend Xiong Tingbi, but will try his best to recommend Gao Di. In their minds, banditry is just a scabies disease.
After all, it can be pacified, and the right way is to first take down the backbone of the eunuchs. Once Gaodi leads the troops to Shandong and Gaodi is defeated, the emperor will definitely pursue the case. Gaodi's official position will not be guaranteed, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of War will fall into the hands of the third party.
By then, Wei Zhongxian will have lost most of his wings, and the government will fall into the hands of the three parties." After Jiang Jie finished speaking, he looked at Yue Su with a smile.
"Are you sure Fang Congzhe would do this?" Yue Su said in disbelief.
Jiang Jie nodded slightly and said: "Today's court meeting, the emperor will convene civil and military officials to discuss the matter of quelling the religious bandits. If you don't believe it, you can ask after the court meeting."
"At that time, Yue will send someone to inquire. My husband just said that he has a plan to suppress bandits and govern the country. Yue is here to sincerely ask for advice." Yue Su said sincerely.
"Xiao Ke here has three strategies for governing the country. The first strategy is to strengthen military preparedness. The Ming Dynasty is now seriously ill. If you want to recover, it will not be a day's work. You can only maintain your strength first, and then try to alleviate it. Therefore, the first step must be
We must strengthen our armed forces to resist foreign invaders and eliminate internal troubles."
Yue Su felt that Jiang Jie's suggestion was reasonable. Yue Su knew the combat effectiveness of the imperial army. He also knew how the Ming Dynasty fell. If you want to reform, you need to touch the interests of the majority of people.
It is not possible to succeed in the short term. If you want to maintain your momentum, you must strengthen your armaments.
"That's right." Yue Su nodded and said, "What's next."
"The second strategy is to consolidate your own strength. Although your Excellency is currently in alliance with the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, your ally is really unreliable. Your Excellency must have your own team and let some officials take your leadership as the core.
Otherwise, whatever you want to do, you must discuss it with Fang Congzhe. Even if you are restricted by others, you may not be able to move it. For example, this time, the person who was burned to death was not Xu Hongru at all. Everyone below can see clearly.
Not to mention old foxes like Xu Hongru. They insist that Xu Hongru is real. They want to drive Wei Guangwei and others away as soon as possible and get these people's current positions. There is also the case of Wei Guangwei and others, which involves many officials. As long as the case is closed
, those officials involved will also be pulled down, and so many vacant positions will be given to low-level officials who are dependent on Fang Congzhe. They clearly know that if the officials in Shandong are removed, the "chaos" among the bandits will be out of control.
, they still do this, haha..." At the end of the sentence, Jiang Jie shook his head and smiled.
Yue Su was actually kept in the dark about this matter, but he was a smart man after all. After Jiang Jie's prompting, he immediately reacted. But he still didn't believe it. Fang Congzhe was sure about attacking dissidents.
It can be done, but will it ignore the country and the country and do it knowing that it cannot be done?
"Looking at the look on your face, you don't seem to believe it. But it is reasonable for you not to believe it now, but in a few days, your Excellency will believe it. The officials involved in the case from Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan have been detained in Beijing.
Their cases must have been quickly tried and decided, and they were all dismissed. The next step is to fill the vacancies. If my guess is correct, most of the replacement officials from Zhili, Shanxi, and Henan will be Fang Congzhe, and most of the replacement officials from Shandong will be
It will be Wei Zhongxian. Your Excellency should also know that since Zhu Yanxi, the Grand Scholar of Dongge and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, left, Wang Qia, who took over as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is a Shandong native and the backbone of the Qi Party. Substituting officials is a top priority for the current court.
, you will understand what Mr. Wang does." Jiang Jie said confidently.
"Okay, I'll take a look then. I wonder what the third strategy is?" Yue Su asked again.
"The third strategy is naturally to make money for the court and then gradually reform, but this must be based on the completion of the first two strategies." Regarding the third strategy, Jiang Jie did not go into details, but smiled on his face, and then
He added: "Now that the White Lotus Sect is in rebellion in Shandong, shouldn't you choose a time to go to the palace and apologize to the emperor?"
"That's what I meant. I just wanted my husband's letter, so I came here first. I will go to the palace later."
"By the way, my lord, it's better not to go immediately. Let's first see who Fang Congzhe and the others have recommended to go to Shandong to quell the chaos, and then make a fuss. If it's a high ranking, your lord will not only plead guilty, but also make a remonstrance to the emperor.
, to prevent Gao Di from going forward. Because Gao Di was defeated, it was inevitable that all life would be devastated. In our Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that wars would continue from now on. If it weren’t for Gao Di..." When Jiang Jie said this, he suddenly chuckled, "It shouldn't be possible.
It’s not him anymore.”
"Is your husband so confident?"
"Haha..." Jiang Jie said with a laugh: "If you are so confident, you don't dare to fly an arrow to send a message, and Mao is suicidal. Your Excellency, this time I apologize, you only need to make it clear that I can help your Majesty calm the chaos. I'm sorry.
It's okay. Jiang will be staying here in the near future. If you think Jiang is a talent, you can come again."
After saying that, Jiang Jie raised his tea cup, as if he was serving tea to see off guests.
Yue Su stood up and said, "If, as her husband said, Fang Congzhe is promoted to a high position, Yue will come to the door again and invite her husband to come out." After saying this, he turned around and left.
Mr. Yue has always thought very highly of himself. His disciple Yang Yishan used to be proud of his talents, but no one was as arrogant as Jiang Jie.
Whether he is arrogant or really capable, we will know after the dynasty is over.
Yue Su left with Tie Qiu and Li Haoquan. Qin Xin walked into the inner room, moved a chair and sat next to Jiang Jie, and said softly: "Sir, I have also heard about Master Yue's reputation. He is definitely the best in the current imperial court.
Character. In front of him, don’t you feel a bit..."
Jiang Jie just smiled slightly, fanned the black paper, and said, "I'm sure he will come back."
