Lu Qian, the Fusi of Jinyiweinan Town, was named Shangshu. He was not the real Shangshu of Shime. He was a small role in the court and could not interfere with the country's affairs. However, he was often summoned by the emperor in person. This was the main reason for his aloof status.
After Yu Qian disappeared, both the Central and Third Divisions of the Huguang Army submitted letters, but the emperor still secretly summoned Lu Qianshi to Yangzhou to meet the saint. Everyone in the memorials intentionally or unintentionally attributed the governor's disappearance to the rebels' meticulous work. Zhu Zhan Ji needs to confirm this news from the people of Jinyiwei; although Jinyiwei is not completely unable to deceive the emperor, they are not the same as the civil servants. It is better to listen to what they say than to rely entirely on the words of local bureaucrats." "Please search Gone with the Wind Astronomy and novels are better and updated faster!
Lu Qianshi, dressed in a brocade flying fish suit, was kneeling in the waterside pavilion and reported: "...At that time, the Huguang North Route Army's horsemen were stationed in Changde, and a large number of troops gathered in the city. In addition, the minister had only been working with Governor Yu that afternoon, so he was paralyzed and failed to defend himself. For this omission, Wei Chen deserves to die. Then Wei Chen Tongguo contacted Chenzhou Prefecture for a secret conversation, and it was confirmed that Governor Yu's wife also went to Chenzhou City privately. Although she was not seen by the Governor himself, based on this judgment, Governor Yu should be Only if he is captured by traitors will his wife come to Chenzhou."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief: Yu Qian was a talent that the emperor personally valued, so it was a pity that it was lost like this; but fortunately, it was the rebels who did it, and not the local forces who dared to persecute the courtiers, so this matter can be considered easy.
It was the late autumn of the second year of Xuande, and Zhu Zhanji had just ascended the throne for the third year. The world was in turmoil with war. If the situation developed at this time and the government dared to resist the central government, it would be very worrying.
When Zhu Zhanji heard Lu Qian's report, he finally turned around and said, "You are not entirely responsible for this matter, so I won't punish you. Just go down. I will send another minister to Huguang in the next two days. At that time Lu Qianshi returned with him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will take my leave." Lu Qianshi hurriedly kowtowed with gratitude. Although he knew beforehand that he, a royal guard Qianshi, should not be blamed for this matter, he was also surprised when he saw the emperor, because Who wouldn't be worried if he chopped it off if he made the slightest careless statement in front of the emperor? There was nothing wrong with it. Lu Qianshi felt relieved, but he didn't understand the real reason why the emperor was so "merciful"... It was a big deal after all. Someone should be responsible.
As soon as Lu Qianshi left, the British Duke Zhang Fu was summoned to pay homage.
Zhang Fu, a veteran of the three dynasties, still bowed and bowed when he came to see him, and he was very respectful. He had a round face, a broad face and an upright body. He was in his fifties, and his eyes were bright and clear. For such a high position like him, For many people, fifty is the best age in life. They have been tempered in all aspects and their physical energy is not bad.
He is not only the representative figure of the heroes who contributed to the "Jingnan", but also the soul-like commander of the Ming army. He has rich fighting spirit and high prestige in the army. All generals in the army speak of the British in awe. Moreover, This person had an excellent reputation. He was upright in the hearts of officials and people, loyal to the emperor, and he was also a perfect positive figure. During the "Jingnan" period, the British Duke was in Jiahe, Gaocheng, Zhangde, and Lingbi. In the great wars, Zhu Di made great achievements in winning the throne and defeated hundreds of thousands of enemies. During the Yongle period, the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, there were legends that he used soldiers like a god everywhere.
The British Duke was a precious legacy left by Zhu Zhanji's imperial grandfather. Zhu Zhanji had always relied on him and retained the highest honor and status of a military commander for him.
Zhu Zhanji asked Zhang Fu directly, almost in a heart-to-heart tone: "Something happened to Yu Qian, the governor of Huguang. Who do the British think would be good to send to take charge of the affairs in the west?" This incident really put Zhu Zhanji in trouble. The general of the imperial court was worried.
There is no shortage of capable talents, but it is difficult to think of someone who can just replace Yu Qian.
When Emperor Yongle passed away during the Northern Campaign, several ministers kept the mourning secret for the sake of the overall situation, which allowed the smooth transfer of imperial power. On that day, these ministers established the political structure of the Hongxi and Xuande dynasties. Among them were the "Three Yangs",
Jin Youzi and others; but these people have high positions and influence the direction of the entire empire, and are not suitable for appointment as governors of a province. Besides, except for Yang Rong, these people have some military and strategic minds, and the others are not good at planning specific strategies and tactics.
.
Among those with lower official status, Zhu Zhanji also found several very good talents in the shihou who wanted to promote the young and strong faction, including Yu Qian; but Zhu Zhanji felt that those young civil servants were not as good as Yu Qian.
Lacking experience and not understanding military affairs... Zhu Zhanji attached great importance to the Huguang War.
Sure enough, Zhang Fu hǎoxiàng was also a little troubled. He pondered for a long time and then said: "I dare you, old minister. Before answering the emperor's questions, can you tell me two other things?"
"The British Lord has been working hard for the court recently. Stop kneeling on the ground and keep your body flat. Come, please sit down." Zhu Zhanji said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Zhang Fu looked grateful and said hurriedly: "I obey the order. The first thing I want to say is the strategy for pacifying Nanjing. I know that there are some rhetoric in the court; but fighting across the river from the lower reaches of the river, after several attempts
The yijing proved to be ineffective, and I thought it was time to redefine the strategy. Instead of forcing the crossing to attack, there were only two methods, one was sea route, and the other was to cross the river from the middle and upper reaches and advance by water. Among them, the veteran thought it was practical to transfer the army to Wuchang Prefecture.
…”
Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly, but he was noncommittal. He had to consider not only the military strategy, but also the overall situation, so some decisions could not be made until the time was ripe.
Zhang Fu continued: "This second piece is the memorial of Wuyang Marquis Xue Lu. I have read it after getting the emperor's permission. Although the strategy set by the Minister in Huguang has the disadvantage of leaking secrets, the general direction is correct.
, the local commander can continue to implement it with slight changes according to local conditions... I heard that Yu Shilang has a son named Yu Mian in the capital. The old minister asked the emperor for a favor on behalf of Yu Shilang. Although he was a talented official like Yu Shilang, he had to bear the emperor's heavy responsibility for a while.
, but the court can also treat him kindly to show his divine grace."
As a meritorious official, Wuyang Hou respected Zhang Fu very much and had more contacts than ordinary people. Zhang Fu had long heard about Yu Qian's "amateur" activities in Huguang from Wuyang Hou. Regarding the original Shimen
It’s about the county magistrate Wang Yu. So it’s hard to say that Zhang Fu secretly has a good impression of Qian Youshime, but Zhang Fu will never do anything to add insult to injury in this kind of Shihou...
First, Yu Qian was captured, at least for a short period of time.
Therefore, a person who has achieved the status of the British Duke attaches great importance to the long term, and he will never easily use some seemingly ignorant means that damage his reputation; finally, the British Duke does have very good views on Qian's military affairs.
Agree, he doesn't want to affect the overall situation for some internal festivals. So it is better to be a favor. If there is a chance to meet again in the future, everyone would like to meet him, right? Isn't there Yang Shiqi in the court?
The British public plea was quite useful. Zhu Zhanji was also a very decisive monarch and was good at simplifying complex issues. After hearing this, he expressed his position on the spot: "The British public statement is reasonable, and Minister Yu has made great contributions to the court."
of."
Zhang Fu said casually: "After the old minister said these two things, he can answer the emperor's questions. Although something happened to Shilang Yu, the Marquis of Wuyang can deal with the Huguang affairs for the time being; when our Beijing camp army is transferred to Wuchang Mansion, the Ministry of War will
We can directly coordinate the troops and horses of Huguang from there... However, Huguang is in troubled times, and the imperial court wants to retain the governor's office, so the old minister recommended Hu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites to be appointed as the Ministry of War."
"Hu Ying?" Zhu Zhanji asked casually.
Zhang Fu bowed and said, "If I go back to the emperor, it will be him."
Hu Ying's long-term job during the reign of Emperor Yongle was to find out the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. This person had some military talents? Zhu Zhanji thought about it for a while, hǎoxiàng had never heard that Hu Ying could do this, but I'm afraid the British prince meant that.
Hu Ying was not asked to dictate to the troops.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji also came over and said: Although Zhang Fu is very visionary in military affairs, it is not reliable to ask him to recommend a civil servant with military talents, because the group of heroes and the civil servants are not in the same league.
Zhu Zhanji arrived in Yangzhou and went to the front line of the war in person, but most of the soldiers stayed in the camp and did not go out. However, he was very keen on the mystery underneath. People on both sides caused some troubles for Wang Yu, a small county magistrate, which remained unresolved for a long time.
, Zhu Zhanji also understands the joints very well; but, isn't this the situation he wants? The Ming Dynasty has two capitals, thirteen provinces, and thousands of counties. It is too big to rule. Some forces cannot be monolithic.
.
During the reign of Emperor Yongle, Zhu Zhanji, who had not yet taken power, saw the way to cultivate eunuchs. Unfortunately, because of their limited talents, many eunuchs were illiterate. To form a powerful force, it still took a lot of time. Zhu Zhanji felt that
I'm afraid I have to wait until Ziji's son to complete the layout. As far as the current situation is concerned, he can only create this situation: use the military ministers and nobles to check and balance the civil servants; the civil servants have the power of the country's affairs, and then support a few people in the cabinet. The "Three Yang" ministers are
Talented people can be entrusted with state affairs and important tasks, thus gradually forming a situation in which ministers and ministers are divided into three branches of power.
With Zhu Zhanji's idea like this, how could he comply with the wishes of the civil servants and use the sword against Duke Cheng? However, the current situation has changed, wars have occurred frequently, and the status of military ministers has become important again, and Zhu Zhanji has to grasp the importance of it.
He was also unwilling to give military commanders too much power.
He had a clear mind and quickly judged the pros and cons of major events. Huguang could not let Wuyang Marquis control the military and political power alone... At this moment when it was difficult to find suitable candidates for civil servants, and the matter could not be delayed, it would be better to choose Hu Ying.
It’s not bad: his status as a minister of the Sixth Ministry is just right, and Hu Ying knows a lot about Jianwen’s party. Although he can’t cooperate with Xue Lu in Huguang, he can cooperate with Jin Yiwei Lu Qianshi.
And yidiǎn, when Emperor Yongle died on the Northern March, Hu Ying wanted to join the circle that stabilized the transfer of power, but unfortunately she was excluded. This may be one of the reasons why Zhang Fu took a fancy to Hu Ying?
After Zhu Zhanji made a decision in his mind, he looked back and realized that the British Duke Zhang Fu was really not a simple veteran.
