Chapter 1040 Xianning: Is that person that good? Let Mr. Nian Nian never
Kaifeng Mansion, the back hall of the government office
Jia Heng and Song Xuan welcomed Shi Ding into the living room, and they sat down after greeting each other.
Shi Ding looked at the young man in python suit and asked, "Is Ziyu coming here this time to supervise the new policy?"
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "The new policy has recently been piloted in the north and south of Henan and Jiangsu provinces. I came over to take a look at the situation."
"Don't worry Ziyu, the implementation of the New Deal in Henan is in full swing." Shi Ding chuckled, looked at Jia Heng, and said: "On the other hand, Jiangsu Province seems to be in trouble. I recently read that it seemed to be mentioned in the Di newspaper.
The implementation of the New Deal in one province in Jiangsu led to a civil unrest."
People are like this, comparison is not only a source of pain, but also a source of superiority.
Jia Heng looked slightly cold and said in a deep voice: "The civil uprising is a fake. It is more likely that the gentry is secretly plotting to hinder the implementation of the imperial government's national policy."
Shi Ding asked again: "Ziyu will stay in Kaifeng next, or will he stay here for a while?"
Jia Heng said: "I stopped in Henan for a while and heard that there was a drought in Nanyang. The disaster was serious. The governor's office and the vassal office are trying to find ways to relieve the victims."
Referring to Nanyang, Shi Ding said in a deep voice: "The governor's office has sent officials to take charge of disaster relief. It is said that the Nanyang prefect is really stubborn. I asked them to build water conservancy last year, but he turned a deaf ear. Now Nanyang Prefecture
After the severe drought, firstly, it was impossible to irrigate with water, and secondly, the storage in the warehouses was not adequate."
Mentioning this matter, Shi Ding said coldly: "The magistrate of Nanyang Prefecture, relying on Peng Ye behind him, has violated my orders and has now been dismissed."
Jia Heng frowned and said, "What's going on with Peng Ye? Why didn't Shibo impeach him before?"
Shi Ding pondered and said: "Zi Yu didn't know something. The impeachment of this matter to Shenjing may not be able to move Peng Ye. Not long ago, the Holy Emperor issued an order to commend us, and now this incident has happened again. It is not dignified for everyone."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Uncle, I still like honest ministers."
Because of the confusion of the Nanyang magistrate, it is indeed difficult to let Peng Ye suffer, and if Shi Ding reported it to the emperor, it would be difficult to some extent.
Because Shi Ding was recommended to the Central Committee by him.
"It is not a good thing to deceive the superior. I have made it clear to the Holy Master. Although Shi Bo has to reprimand, Peng Ye will be more restrained." Seeing that Shi Ding's face did not look good, Jia Heng said softly.
Shi Ding's expression changed slightly and he said: "Since Ziyu has calmed down, why bother to report it to the current emperor?"
Jia Heng shook his head, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said: "Since I am here to supervise the new policy, I naturally have to report the details of Henan to the superiors, otherwise Shibo thinks Peng Ye and others will not make an issue of it?
He can live in peace with the uncle, but he may not be able to keep up with me, and he may not allow others to criticize me."
After he overthrew Yang Guochang, the Qi Party's momentum languished, and Peng Ye had long harbored a secret hatred for him, so now was the opportunity to take advantage of it.
When Shi Ding heard this, his heart moved and he said, "Ziyu, let me also write a memorandum of apology."
It seems that this is no longer possible without losing face.
"Shibo, you don't need to think too much. This matter is a small mistake, but it can't be covered up into a big mistake." Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to Nanyang for a visit in the next few days. I can't make any more mistakes."
What kind of trouble is that?"
Shi Ding's face softened slightly after hearing the words of relief.
Shi Ding said: "Ziyu, my brother is going to Shandong to supervise the navy, but he wants to march into North Korea by water?"
Jia Heng said: "In addition to the New Deal matters, this trip south is to supervise and train the navy, and use suppression instead of training."
This time he went south to deal with not just one thing, but multiple things. He was expected to stay in Jiangnan for a little longer this time, so-called meritorious service.
In fact, when he reaches this title, unless he encounters a war like the one in the northwest, his title promotion will be very slow. After all, he is a third-class Duke.
In other words, the promotion of the third-class Duke to the first-class Duke is not as rich as the political benefits he can gain by implementing the four new policies of the New Deal!
Political prestige, factional tentacles, and even vague historical status cannot be brought about by winning a few battles. Military honors are martial arts. After the development of civilian politics in the Ming Dynasty, it simply could not become a climate, regardless of the international climate.
, or the domestic microclimate.
Of course, the title will most likely be improved, because the reward is only that, and in addition, the marriage problem of Daiyu and Baochai can be solved in one fell swoop thanks to the success of the New Deal.
At that time, he relied on huge achievements and prestige, but his personal virtues were lacking. He was tabooed by scholars. He was a legend for the ages and violated etiquette. On the contrary, it made the emperor more reassured. If he was used to pacify the captives in the future, he would not be disgraced due to the improvement of his merits.
Suspicion.
Before seeking the country, seek your life first.
At this time, the servant outside said: "The commander of Henan Province, Qu Guang, is outside the mansion asking to see Duke Wei."
Qu Guang was also an old subordinate of Jia Heng. After the Central Plains Rebellion, Qu Guang was appointed as the commander of the Henan capital. It had been more than a year. When he heard that Jia Heng had come to Kaifeng Mansion, he hurriedly came with a few followers to ask for an audience.
.
Jia Heng said: "I will go and greet you personally."
After a while, I saw Qu Guang leading a few followers waiting in the flower hall on one side of the lobby. He cupped his hands and said, "General, I have met Duke Wei."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to support his arm and said with a smile: "General Qu, please get up quickly."
Qu Guang's eyes were full of reverence, he cupped his hands and said: "Jie Shuai has been away for a few years now, and his style is beyond compare, even more so than in the past."
He did not address himself as Duke of the State, but as Commander-in-Chief. He obviously regarded himself as an old subordinate.
In fact, this old subordinate of Jia Heng still feels a little unreal, because after Jia Heng went to northern Xinjiang, he killed Huang Taiji with a red barrage cannon, and then he was promoted to Duke of the country, the daughter of the emperor and the daughter of the clan.
This appearance is dazzling, almost like a dream.
Shi Ding also came over to greet Qu Guang at this time, and everyone sat down and chatted and laughed.
Jia Heng asked with a smile: "General Qu, what is the strength of the Henan Prefecture's guards and horses now? Have the troops been well prepared?"
This is actually his basic plan, the only basic plan currently.
"It is definitely not as good as the elite of the Beijing camp who defeated the Donglu, but I am also a strong man, one is worth ten!" Qu Guangxiao said.
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Jia Heng said: "General Qu, although the soldiers and horses of the Henan Prefecture Guard are in the peaceful land of the Central Plains, they should not slack off in training. The troops in the Beijing Camp will have a big challenge every five years. The Guards Guards in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places will
All soldiers have a chance."
The soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp are too eye-catching, but you can go from the local area to the Beijing camp.
Qu Guang said: "Jie Shuai, the brothers are all waiting for this opportunity. Seeing the brothers in the Beijing camp defeating the enemy at the border, my brothers and I are very jealous."
I think back then, although Xie Zaiyi was a close confidant of the Commander-in-Chief, he was not as good as him in terms of titles and worldly positions. However, after a battle with the captives, he was actually granted the title of earl.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I, a big man, have had many opportunities to fight in recent years. General Qu, there is no need to worry."
Qu Guang asked: "Commander Jie is going south to destroy the pirates this time. Can our Henan Prefecture Guard soldiers be used to their advantage?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "This time we will use the navy more to clean up the evil atmosphere at sea. It will not be easy to mobilize the troops in Henan for a while."
Qu Guang said: "It would be great if we could have a big battle at Chongming Sands."
Shi Ding picked up the tea cup, looked at Qu Guang with a smile, and said secretly, this is because the general is eager to perform meritorious service. If he does not make him a Marquis of Wu while Wu Yong is still alive, it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future.
If Ziyu can really pacify the Donglu, he will not only protect the Jia family's wealth for another fifty years, but also lead a group of people to become marquises and uncles.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, unaware that it was getting late and the setting sun was shining in the evening. Qu Guang told Jia Heng the military preparations and training situation of the Henan Prefecture Guard in recent years.
The Henan Dusi Guard Station has more than 50,000 troops, all of whom are young and strong. Although a year has passed since the civil unrest spread to half of Henan, the soldiers of the Guard Station continue to perform drills, mainly to cooperate with the local government in preventing and monitoring the public situation.
Jia Heng asked: "When the Central Plains was in turmoil, what was the current situation of those Ding Zhuang who served as thieves in Runing Mansion and in Kaifeng Mansion?"
Qu Guang said: "Master Shi is currently mainly responsible for this matter."
Facing Jia Heng's gaze and asking, Shi Dingqing coughed and introduced: "Some rioters with minor crimes have been gradually released back home to work in the fields, and some were gradually released in exchange for their punishment with labor during the construction of water conservancy projects in the province.
After returning to the local area, many people who knew about the high yield of sweet potatoes settled down to farm. The Henan Dusi and local officials were under surveillance. In fact, there were not many people left. Many of the young men who were responsible for the crime were still working in exchange for their wages, and the river workers
The work is all hard work, and many people..."
At the end, Shi Ding didn't say anything more, but the implication was very clear. Some of them might not be able to bear the punishment of hard labor and wanted to resist and be killed by the imperial court, while others were exhausted to death under heavy physical labor.
Jia Heng said: "You should eat when you are full. Many laborers in the province still need criminals to do it for them."
Shi Ding nodded and said: "This is the reason, and it can also reduce the recruitment of some people's power."
In short, the situation in Henan as a whole is still prosperous.
"Ziyu, it's getting late. Let's take a rest first. The courtyard is ready." Seeing a pause in the conversation, Song Xuan greeted with a smile.
Jia Heng said softly: "Uncle Song Guo, there is no need to be busy. Xianning and I will go back to the post house to rest later."
Xiaoxiao is still waiting at the post house at the moment. He needs to discuss with Xiaoxiao about the next plan.
Princess Xianning's beautiful face was filled with a smile, and she said softly: "Uncle, sir, you still have some official business to deal with, so I won't stay here."
Uncle Song Guo looked into his niece's clear eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, I don't have much time left."
I thought to myself that maybe the young couple wanted to stay in private for a while longer.
Then Shi Ding and Qu Guang also left one after another.
Kaifeng Mansion, Post Office
The girl who was writing at her desk in the side room heard the noise, stood up, and quickly walked towards the young man in python suit. Under his delicate sword-shaped eyebrows, there was a trace of inquiry in his clear eyes, and she said: "Is this something I've seen before?"
Shi Ding?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I've seen it before. A lot of things have happened in Henan this year."
Then, he told Xiaoxiao what happened recently in Nanyang Mansion.
Chen Xiaoning raised her eyebrows and said, "Marquis Shi handled this matter somewhat improperly, so what are your plans next?"
Jia Heng said: "I'm going to Nanyang in the past few days to check the local drought situation. I'm still a little worried about the disaster relief there."
The land of the Central Plains has been plagued by disasters since ancient times.
Chen Xiao said: "There is a rush over there in Jiangnan. Gao Zhongping is about to kill someone in Jinling. He is waiting for you to go and be a bad person."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I will write him a letter later. The implementation of Jiangsu's new policy will be slowed down first. We cannot attack from all sides like this. We should first find out the real enemy."
The first problem is to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and not to attack from all sides.
If you can't find out the Jiangnan gentry behind it, attacking everywhere will only make things a mess.
At this time, Princess Xianning cut a few pieces of watermelon, handed them over and said: "Sir, don't be busy now, eat some watermelon to quench your thirst."
Jia Heng took the watermelon and took a bite. It was sweet and delicious.
Princess Xianning asked softly: "Sir, in a few days the fleet will arrive in Kaifeng. Will it stay?"
Jia Heng spit out the melon seeds into a bowl aside and said, "We won't stop any longer. Let them go all the way south, and we will chase after them."
Escorting the fleet were not only the Jinyi Palace Guards, but also the cavalry officers from the Guoyong Camp in Beijing and the young generals from the Jia family.
Chen Xiao said: "Then Peng Ye, what should you do?"
Jia Heng said: "This person belongs to the backbone of the Qi Party. Since Yang Guochang resigned as prime minister, the Qi Party has been vaguely leaderless. Although Qi Kun is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the followers below may not be convinced."
In other words, after some members of the Qi Party left Xu Jie, neither Gao nor Zhang accepted the trend of the other, but they both knew that the Zhejiang Party was powerful, so they stayed together for the time being.
"Sir, the hot water is ready. Come and take a bath. The journey is dusty." Princess Xianning said softly.
Jia Heng nodded, raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiao, took the girl's delicate hand, and said softly: "Let's go, Xiaoxiao."
Chen Xiao shook off Jia Heng's hand and said angrily: "You don't behave well outside. If a word gets out, do you still have a good reputation?"
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Then Xianning and I will go take a shower first, while you look out for the wind."
Chen Xiao glanced at Jia Heng and said sarcastically: "You are not sneaking around, why should I watch? Go quickly, I will check the situation in Henan Dusi here."
As he spoke, he picked up the garrison distribution map and personnel books of the Henan Fuwei that Qu Guang had sent to him.
Jia Heng looked at the girl and his eyes moved slightly. Why did he feel that Xiaoxiao was lusting after the military deployment plan again?
At this moment, Princess Xianning was urging Jia Heng to go over and take a bath.
Jia Heng entered the inner compartment and looked at the girl who was preparing clothes. He put his arms around the beauty's slender waist and said warmly: "Xianning, you have worked hard these days."
A wealthy man in Xianning is willing to accompany him all over the world and endure the hardships of wind and frost. This is probably love.
Princess Xianning felt the joy of the people behind her and said softly: "I haven't been too busy. I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery along the way. My country is picturesque. Besides, Sister Xiaoxiao can accompany my husband on his expeditions.
I can fight, too."
That's how my husband is. Whoever stays with him for a long time will pretend to be more generous in his heart.
She should be one child younger than that person from Jinling now.
Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao has been wandering in the world for so many years, so she needs to get used to it."
Princess Xianning turned to look at the young man and said softly: "Sir, my aunt asked about Yan'er's marriage today."
Jia Heng said: "In the past two years, the girls have grown up, and it's time to discuss marriage."
In ancient times, it was early to get engaged. Not only Song Yan, but also the girls in the garden gradually started talking about marriage as time went by. The reason why he went south to bring everyone with him was because he was worried that if he left, Rong Ning and Rong Ning would be together.
Another moth comes out of the house.
You must know that Jia Mu can arrange the marriage between Baoqin and Xiangyun, as well as Tanchun's marriage. After Nan'an suffered a defeat, the concubine Nan'an went to Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Mu and promise Tanchun out.
Jia's mother may not agree, but what about Mrs. Wang? Or Princess Nan'an kidnapped Jia Zheng out of national justice. He was not in the capital, and many things were out of his reach.
Jia Heng didn't know it at the moment, but as soon as he left, the moth had indeed risen. Mrs. Wang had already taken the Xia family with her to marry Xia Jingui to Baoyu. Then she was cut and beaten by Jia's mother and abducted to Aunt Xue's house.
.
Jia Heng pulled Xianning over, looked at the girl with delicate features and bright features, and said: "I didn't even have a female officer to serve you this way, so why don't I help you change her clothes?"
Princess Xianning: "???"
Jia Heng said quickly: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."
Princess Xianning snorted softly, a slight blush appeared on Qingli's cheeks, and she said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Sir, you can't always miss me."
How could there be two slips of the tongue? She had already planned to hook up Yan'er's cousin to her husband. What else did he want from her?
Is that person so good? Does the husband never forget him? Does the husband like older people because his mother died early?
Jia Heng gently pinched the beauty's pink cheeks and said softly: "I'm not thinking about it, I was teasing you just now. Let's take a bath, Xianning, be good."
That is to say, outside the capital, this kind of joke can be carried out a little bit.
Feeling the boy's favor, Princess Xianning felt sweet and worried at the same time, and said, "Sir, I really can't miss you anymore."
Jia Heng said: "Well, I never thought about it. In fact, it was you who thought about it too much."
If Xianning hadn't strengthened Empress Song again and again, these thoughts would have gradually dissipated as time passed.
Jia Heng helped Princess Xianning undress, and the couple entered the tub to bathe together. After that, they changed their clothes.
Jia Heng and Xian Ning accompanied each other and came to the study.
Chen Xiao raised his eyes to look at the young man and said in a clear voice: "The flying pigeon message just delivered by Li Shu said that the Nan'an County King's vanguard, Liu Fang's troops, had already gone to Xining Mansion, and Jin Xuan had given up on Huang.
Yuan County, the military strength has been reduced across the board to the Xining front line."
During the time when Jia Heng came out of Beijing, the situation in the northwest was also changing. The Heshuote Mongolian soldiers entered Huangyuan. Jin Xuan did not choose to fight fiercely with the Heshuote Mongols in Huangyuan, but simply gave up Huangyuan and retreated to Huangyuan.
Xining Dacheng, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.
As a result, the situation in Xining as a whole worsened.
Jia Heng took the map, looked at Xining City, and said in a deep voice: "This Jin Xuan! Once the Xining border army retreats, it will be difficult to fight back to Qinghai."
Huangyuan can be said to be a bridgehead. Once Huangyuan is abandoned, Xining will be attacked from all sides, and it will easily stimulate the eastward expansion of Heshuote Mongolia.
It could easily lead to the fall of Xining.
No wonder you need to get married according to the path in the original work! Because, this may be a big failure!
Chen Xiao saw the young man whose expression changed and became as cold as ice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Princess Xianning also said softly: "Sir, I thought of something important."
Jia Heng pondered and said, "I want to immediately warn Shanjing."
Nan'an can be defeated, but Xining cannot be lost, otherwise the situation will be difficult to deal with, although the current situation has begun to gradually deteriorate.
Chen Xiao seemed to sense the young man's worry and said: "If you are worried about the fall of Xining, Xining has worked hard for the Jin family for many years. Even though it was besieged, it is really puzzling for Jin Xuan to abandon Huangyuan."
Jia Heng said: "This is to conserve strength and force the imperial court to send troops for rescue. We do not want to use our own troops and horses to fight against Heshuote Mongolia. The lineage of Xining County and King will always be in the northwest, as if they are separatist. They only know about the honor and disgrace of the family, but they don't know.
There is a imperial government."
Xining must have elite troops at its headquarters, but Jin Xuan was hiding it and was unwilling to fight head-on with Heshuote Mongolia, and put pressure on the court by retreating into Xining City.
Jia Heng said, before coming to the writing desk, he began to prepare pen and ink memorials. There were two letters in total. One was to describe the implementation of the New Deal in Henan. Generally speaking, the situation was very good. He also looked forward to the situation of the implementation of the New Deal in Henan, and then mentioned it in the middle.
This mistake in Nanyang Mansion.
This is where small things outweigh great achievements.
Chen Xiao looked at the memorial written by Jia Heng, his eyes moved, he glanced at the young man in the python suit, and thought to himself, it is not unreasonable for this person to be so respected by the mean and unkind man.
Even being a sycophant is more than enough.
Then the second letter was about Xining Jin Xuan's withdrawal from Xining, which caused concern about the situation in the entire northwest. He suggested that after dispatching troops, the imperial court should not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but should attack steadily and steadily.
After writing, wait for the memorial to dry.
"Have a drink of tea." Chen Xiao took the tea cup and said softly.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Send someone to deliver the memorial to Shenjing early tomorrow morning."
Princess Xianning stretched out a slender hand, took another memorandum and read it, her clear eyes flashed, her beautiful eyebrows tightened, and she said with concern: "Since the situation in Xining is urgent, after the Nan'an County Prince sends troops, can he appease the northwest?"
Won't it lead to another big defeat just because of the eagerness to make meritorious deeds?"
"It's hard to say." Jia Heng said softly: "We will deal with Henan's affairs first, and the rest can only wait and see what happens."
Princess Xianning said: "Sir, you can ask your father to lead the army on the expedition."
"I have requested to send troops several times before, but the implementation of the New Deal in Jiangnan is not as important as Xining's border troubles. This is what my father said." Jia Heng said.
Xian Ning and he were now a couple, and it was impossible to ignore external matters. In fact, Xian Ning, apart from being playful, also knew many things at a glance.
Princess Xianning sighed quietly and said, "Father, it is better for you to use sir this time."
She also vaguely knew some of the reasons, probably because she was worried about military imbalance, but if Nan'an was defeated, wouldn't it be even more imbalanced?
Jia Heng said: "Okay, don't force some things. I'm going to the northwest. Jiangnan is a mess."
The status and prestige of some people are established through the objective reality that they will fail repeatedly without you, that they will move from one victory to another with your leadership, and that they will not be able to survive without you. It is really not the crystallization of collective wisdom.
This is the importance of correctly evaluating outstanding figures in the historical process.
