The dispatch of imperial officials to patrol the border had a greater impact than Lin Xiuzhan expected.
The next day, Lin Xiuzhuan felt that he had been working for three days, and with the registration day, it was four days. He was considered an old man in the Hanlin Academy.
So after practicing the marksmanship taught by Qi Jiguang in the afternoon, I returned home early.
Then Lin Xiuzhuan saw Li Rusong, the eldest son of Li Chengliang, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, Ningyuan Bo, sitting in the front hall of his house, drinking tea and waiting for him.
After meeting, Governor Li opened the wooden box at hand without saying a word.
I saw nothing but white flowers inside the box. Besides silver, there was still silver! They were all fifty-two silver ingots!
Then Li Rusong said again: "I heard that the Hanlin Academy recommended you to participate in the tour of the nine sides, right?"
The well-informed Lin Xiuzhan was shocked. It wasn't that he had never seen money before, so he wasn't shocked by the money, but he was surprised that the Li family was so sensible.
The idea of patrolling Liaodong Town by myself is just an idea at the moment, so the Li family comes to bribe them?
I feel like I have overstepped my bounds. This should be the first assistant treatment that Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing have enjoyed.
"Cancel all your debts, and then give me these silver coins!" Governor Li's other identity is still a creditor, "As long as you go to inspect Xuanfu Town!"
Written by Lin Xiu: "???"
Did my ears fail, or did you, Governor Li, make a slip of the tongue? Liaodong Town and Xuanfu Town are in two directions.
Li Rusong emphasized: "I'm right, I personally ask you to go to Xuanfu Town."
Lin Xiuzhan was still confused, "Why should I go to Xuan Mansion?"
"Help me take revenge on Xu Shouqian, the governor of Xuanfu!" Li Rusong said through gritted teeth.
It turned out that the year before last, when Lin Tailai was still doing good deeds towards neighbors in his hometown in Jiangnan and devoting himself to studying, Li Rusong briefly served as the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town.
Then Li Rusong had a conflict with Xu Shouqian, the governor of Xuanfu. During the military parade, Li Rusong insisted that Xu Shouqian sit on an equal footing.
In today's context of high-ranking officials and low-ranking officials, the general military officer often has to subordinate himself to the governor, and it is impossible to be on an equal footing.
So of course Xu Shouqian was not willing to sit with Li Rusong, and the matter became a big deal on the spot. The angry civil servants and Li Rusong almost punched each other, but they were stopped by the left and right.
Later, the matter reached the imperial court. Although Li Rusong was Emperor Wanli's favorite general, he had to be dismissed from the post of chief military officer of Xuanfu Town due to criticism.
To this day, Li Rusong is still bitter about this and still holds a grudge against Xu Shouqian, the governor of Xuanfu.
After learning the cause and effect, Lin Tailai said with disdain: "We almost got into a fight? Are you all so weak?
If I had been present, there would never have been a word like almost! I would never have allowed an opponent who tried to throw a punch to still stand in front of me!"
Li Rusong: ""
Is this the key point? Lin Zhuangyuan, is your focus a bit biased?
"To be honest, I still want to go to Liaodong." Lin Tailai said.
Li Rusong advised: "For you, isn't it the same wherever you go on patrol? Moreover, Xuanfu is close and the area is small, so it is easy and not tiring to go back and forth!"
Lin Tailai sighed. Although Xuanfu was very good, he still wanted to go to Liaodong.
After all, Liaodong is adjacent to the "Pilgrimage Country" and the great ancestor of the Qing Dynasty who has just started to make a fortune.
Li Rusong tried his best to persuade: "I can say very clearly that Xu Shouqian is despicable, greedy for money, accepts bribes, and corrupts surrounding affairs!
Xuan Mansion is too close to the capital, and allowing this person to act recklessly in Xuan Mansion will cause endless trouble to the capital!"
Lin Xiuzhan almost said something that would end the friendship - Governor Li, before you say this, don't you first find a mirror and look at your father?
"To be honest, I want to visit Liaodong and draw a circle around Jianzhou." Lin Tailai said.
Li Rusong had no choice but to show his last trump card: "Xu Shouqian and Zhao Nanxing from the Ministry of Civil Affairs are from the same hometown."
Written by Lin Xiu: "!"
Li Rusong continued: "According to the rules of official promotion, the next step for the governor of the Xuanfu can be to be the minister of the Ministry of War. It is not impossible for Xu Shouqian to become the minister in the future!"
"You should have said it earlier! Then I'll think about it," Lin Tailai replied.
Li Rusong said: "If you really want to visit Liaodong, you are welcome to go at any time! Don't miss this opportunity!"
After sending Li Rusong off, he suddenly saw Wang Situ sending someone over to convey a message, saying that his eldest son Wang Xiangqian had arrived in Beijing, so he had a family dinner tonight and invited Lin Tai to come and get together.
In fact, among the two generations of Jinshi in the Lao Wang family, the person with the highest academic achievements in history was Wang Xiangqian. He was still alive until the early years of Chongzhen. At the age of more than eighty years, he served as the Minister of War, the Governor of Ji Liao.
Wang Xiangqian's health is so good. From now on, he can continue to work for the Ming Dynasty for forty years. He is worthy of training and use.
However, Wang Xiangqian has been working as an official in other places in recent years, and Lin Tai could not meet anyone when he came to the capital. Now he finally met him.
When he arrived at Wang's house, under the guidance of the servants, Mr. Lin went straight into the back hall and saw three people already talking in the hall.
In addition to Wang Situ and the senior censor Wang Xiangmeng, there was another middle-aged man who had never been seen before. It must be Wang Situ's eldest son Wang Xianggan.
If you look closely, you will see that Wang Xiangqian has a thin face and a kind-hearted appearance. He does not seem to have the temperament of a handsome man from a border town in history.
Lin Tailai stood at the door, looking at Wang Xiangqian with a smile, waiting for him to come forward to greet him.
Wang Xiangqian gave a helpless smile and could only stand up and salute: "I've met my uncle."
I am the second eldest person in the Xiang generation. I am forty-five years old, five years shy of half a hundred, yet I have to call a twenty-two-year-old stranger my elder. It makes no sense.
Lin Tailai said in a serious manner: "My nephew is not polite! My family does not need to be polite!"
After everyone was seated, Lin Tailai asked: "My nephew comes to Beijing to elect an official. If you need my uncle's help, just ask!"
Wang Situ smiled and interjected: "He has been appointed to an official position, but he may still need your assistance.
This official position is a very crucial step for him, and he cannot be too careful."
When the elders talk to each other, the younger ones stop talking.
Lin Tailai then asked Wang Situ again: "I would like to hear the details. What kind of help is needed from me?"
Wang Situ introduced: "Zi Kuo was appointed as Shanxi Right Political Branch Shoukou Beidao this time."
Zi Kuo is Wang Xiangqian's name. If you are not familiar with the official system of the Ming Dynasty, you will be confused when you hear his official position.
In fact, this official position has nothing to do with Shanxi. It just borrows the name of Shanxi.
In the Ming Dynasty, this was called borrowing. Similarly, officials in Liaodong borrowed the name of Shandong, and officials in Southern Zhili borrowed the name of Zhejiang.
And Koubei Road is actually Xuanfu, and it is divided into Shoukoubei Road and Youshengzheng, which means Congsanpindaotai who is responsible for the civil affairs in the Xuanfu area.
The Daotai garrison is located in Xuanfu Town, and is in the same city as the Xuanfu Governor, the Xuanfu Town Commander-in-Chief, the Wandu Division Commander, and the military eunuchs.
Lin Tailai said thoughtfully: "So my nephew is going to take office in Xuan Mansion?"
Those who are familiar with the rules of officialdom will immediately understand that Wang Xiangqian has planned his future route.
Wang Xiangqian worked in the Ministry of War as a chief officer, a member of the military department, and as a doctor before being promoted. He was a serious official from the Ministry of War.
In the future, personal development will definitely depend on the Ministry of War, which will be more smooth in terms of qualifications.
From the third rank right to participate in politics, it is divided into Shoukou North Road, and one step further up is the governor of Xuanfu, and further up from the governor of Xuanfu is the governor of Xuanda.
Nowadays, in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the minister in charge of the Ministry of War is generally appointed by Xuanda and the governor of Jiliao when he returns to the court.
When you become the governor of Xuanda, you can consider being promoted to the minister of the Ministry of War, who is in charge of the Ministry of War. Even the governor of Xuanfu can be promoted to the minister of the Ministry of War.
Wang Xiangqian's personal development plan is roughly like the above, which can be inferred as long as he hears Fenshou Koubeidao.
Therefore, the current step is very critical, it is the last step towards the level of governor and feudal governor. If this step is not done well, there will be nothing to follow.
Wang Situ frowned slightly and said: "Now the situation in Xuanfu is more complicated, the water is not deep but a bit muddy.
In the town of Xuanfu, the governor and the deputy commander-in-chief are close, and the commander-in-chief is close to Governor Xuanda who is stationed in Yanghe."
Lin Tailai said very understandingly: "That's right, not to mention that the Xuanfu also has a patrol department, a department of all affairs, a department of household affairs, a department of punishment, etc."
Anyway, the imperial court's organizational structure in the Xuan Mansion was really a stacked house, very characteristic of the Ming Dynasty.
Xuanfu City may be the city with the most complex yamen and officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the capital city.
Liaodong also knew that the capital was divided into different cities, and the governors and governors were in charge of each side of the Liao River. However, the Xuanfu was all gathered together in the Xuanfu town, and they were like a pot of porridge.
Wang Situ sighed and asked: "If it is possible, when you patrol the border town, can you consider going to Xuanfu together?
After all, you are a serious imperial envoy who has been ordered to patrol the border. You can escort Zikuo to Xuanfu and help him establish himself safely in Xuanfu."
Lin Xiuzhan was speechless. His latest promised land was clearly the Da Andong area, so why did he ask himself to go to Xuan Mansion?
After thinking about it, Lin Xiuzhuan asked, "Are you sure that if you let me escort Zikuo to the Xuan Mansion, he will be safe?"
Wang Situ didn't understand: "Why can't I feel safe following you? Who among those border ministers dares not to show off their dignity as an imperial envoy patrolling the border?"
Lin Tailai answered truthfully: "Prince Ning Yuan wants to ask me to be the governor of the Xuan Mansion."
Wang Situ: ""
It hurts, it hurts! Why do you, Lin Tailai, always behave in such a fancy way!
If Wang Xiangqian followed Lin Tailai to Xuanfu, wouldn't he become an accomplice?
How can a right-wing political newcomer who is new to politics want to be governor as soon as he takes office? How can he be stable?
If he couldn't do it, Lin Tailai would have to run back to the capital and hide in the Hanlin Academy, where the governor outside could do nothing to him.
But Wang Xiangqian's station is on the right side of Xuanfu, so where can he go?
Lin Tailai said frankly: "This is the situation. Do you want to think about it again?"
Wang Situ hesitated for a while and said: "Otherwise, you go to Xuanfu first to fight. And Zikuo takes leave first and stays at home, and waits to see the situation later before taking office?"
This is also a safe approach. If Lin Xiuzhan messes up in Xuanfu, Wang Xiangqian, who has not yet taken office, will still have the opportunity to change places.
Lin Tailai replied: "Then I will reconsider whether to go to Xuanfu. In fact, according to my original intention, I want to go to Liaodong Town."
