Chapter 90: Hidden Storm II

What Qian Qianyi said may not be all sincere, but it may not be all sincere.

Life is like a play. Drama is like life, born and ugly, it is difficult to say that there is no play. Or they themselves don't know they're already in the play.

Qian Qianyi is the head of the civil officials of Great Xia, although his power has been limited a lot. But his own talent is not very good, he can only operate the system left by the Ming Dynasty completely. But it also gave him a sense of mission as an important minister of Great Xia.

Of course, there is an element of personal vendetta in the communiqué, but what Qian Qianyi said is not completely unreasonable.

Zhang Xuan's power had expanded dramatically, and it had affected the balance of power within Great Xia. Even though Luo Yulong trusted Zhang Xuan, he had to consider the changes.

He even had an illusion between trances.

During the southern expedition last year, Zhang Xuan only had 50,000 soldiers, and some of them were descendants of the Luo family. But after a year passed, Zhang Xuan's strength increased exponentially.

"Shouldn't I be a check?" Luo Yulong listened to Qian Qianyi's words, and couldn't help but think in his heart. Slightly hesitant, he said, "Mr. Qian, what do you think should be done?" ”

Qian Qianyi saw that Luo Yulong's words were a little loose, and immediately said: "With the intention of the minister, it is better to recruit Zheng Guogong into Beijing and govern the Privy Council." The general of the Southern Army, Guangdong, and Hunan were directly subordinate to the six departments, and the three provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou set up towns and guards, cut the number of troops, and transferred troops to the north to prepare for a strong enemy. ”

"You can also send the lords of the capital division to guard the field."

"It's a balance between inside and out."

Luo Yulong nodded slightly, thinking silently in his heart.

Qian Qianyi's attention to Zhang Xuan is a bright rise and a secret fall, and the huge southern army in the Great Xia system will be split apart, separated from the three towns, and then part of it will be included in the forbidden army, so that although Zhang Xuan is the head of the Great Xia military ministers, he can directly command his own guards, maybe a few hundred people. Of course, the Great Xia strategy, establishment, military supplies, and so on are all in Zhang Xuan's control.

Zhang Xuan can't say that he doesn't have power, but this power is not the same as the power of being a general of the southern expedition.

Such a big thing, Luo Yulong pondered for a long time, and he couldn't be sure.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps from outside, and Li Fuguo said softly outside the door: "Your Majesty." ”

Luo Yulong said: "What's the matter? ”

Li Guofu's voice said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Zhengnan's secret letter." ”

Luo Yulong immediately said, "Submit it." ”

"Yes." Li Guofu immediately pushed the door and entered, and put a secret letter on Luo Yulong's dragon case.

Speaking of this kind of secret letter. It's also a kind of legacy.

Still is

During the Cao Ying period, even Luo Rucai talked with his subordinates and gave orders, but also by letter. There is no strict distinction between various orders, and now that Great Xia has been established, all kinds of things have been regularized, but when it comes to private communication, it is still by letter and informal channels, and it does not go through the political secretary. However, there are only a dozen Cao Ying veterans who are qualified to communicate with Luo Yulong like this. Zhang Xuan is one of them.

After Luo Yulong opened the secret letter, he first swept it in a hurry, and then his eyes froze, and he read it carefully. After a while, he said, "Mr. Qian, this matter will be discussed later." Rong Zhen pondered. ”

Qian Qianyi sighed in his heart, the subtext of this sentence is to refuse. For a moment, he had an urge to see what was written in this secret letter. It's just that he couldn't be rude and snatch the letter in Luo Yulong's hand to read.

However, Qian Qianyi is confident, as long as the content of this letter is the key content, it will not take three or five days, Qian Qianyi will know.

After all, where is Qian Qianyi's status.

After Qian Qianyi said goodbye and went out.

Luo Yulong let out a sigh of relief, he was almost shaken just now.

When Luo Yulong saw the letter, it was Zhang Xuan's report that Sun Kewang might hide the eternal calendar. Taking a peek and seeing the whole leopard, he could see that Zhang Xuan's hidden dangers under the successive victories, Zhang Xuan's important task in the south is to take on the stability of the south, so that the two lakes, two rivers, and two Guangzhous are in the hinterland.

As long as three or four years of cultivation are completed, the Great Xia soldiers have enough food and can compete with the Qing army.

The Northern Expedition is a lingering thought in Luo Yulong's heart.

In the event of the Northern Expedition, the two towns of Huaidong and Huaixi, the forbidden army along the Yangtze River, and even the troops of Xiangyang Town need to be mobilized. To attack on such a full front, there must be someone to sit in the rear for Luo Yulong, this person, Luo Yulong has always felt that Zhang Xuan is the best choice in his heart.

After transferring Zhang Xuan to the Beijing Division, who can take on the important responsibility for the affairs of the south?

Even if Zhang Xuan is to be transferred back, it will be after the success of the Northern Expedition, and at that time, the clowns in the south will be vulnerable. Under the big victory, there is no need to worry, Yunnan, the corners of Sichuan, after the north is settled, it is not too late to solve the affairs of Sichuan.

Luo Yulong thought for a while, let Li Fuguo come in, and said, "What's the name of your righteous son?" ”

"Li Shaoke." Li Fuguo said: "I didn't expect that this kid can still let His Majesty remember his name, which is this kid's honor." ”

Luo Yulong waved his hand, interrupted Li Fuguo's sycophancy, and said, "You let him go to Guiyang and tell Zheng Guogong about the matter here." ”

Li Fuguo immediately said: "Yes." ”

Under Li Fuguo's order, Li Shaoke caught up with the messenger who issued the holy decree and followed the brigade upstream, first to Chongqing, then from Chongqing to Zunyi, and then from Zunyi to Guiyang.

When he came to Guiyang, Guiyang officials went out of the city to greet Zhang Xuan, and after the promulgation of the holy decree, Gao Yigong opened the town and sat in Guiyang Mansion.

And Li Shaoke secretly came to see Zhang Xuan and said what Qian Qianyi said in front of Luo Yulong.

Zhang Xuan was in front of Li Shaoke and said: "Qian Qianyi deceived people too much, this matter, I remember your favor, and there will be rewards in the future." ”

Li Shaoke said in a low voice: "The slave doesn't dare to be so rewarded. As long as the general remembers the name of the small, the small one will not be in vain. ”

Zhang Xuan sent Li Shaoke away, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned out a letter, but it was written by Luo Yujiao to him, the content was not much different from what Li Shaoke said, but it showed that Li Shaoke came on the orders of the emperor.

A feeling of loss wells up in my heart.

How to say, Zhang Xuan understands Luo Yulong's motives, a general who leads the army, and is likely to be the head of the military generals in the court, if he has a good relationship with Qian Qianyi, the head of the civil ministers. Luo Yulong estimated that he couldn't sleep.

Luo Yulong's expansion of Zhang Xuan's power was not without restrictions. It's just that this restriction is more subtle. is to put the Jiangnan civil official group on the opposite side of Zhang Xuan, but there has long been a gap between Zhang Xuan and Qian Qianyi, and now it is just a smooth sailing.

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "My eldest brother's wrist has grown a lot. It's just that in my heart, but, but -----" For a while, Zhang Xuan didn't know what kind of words to use to express the complex emotions in his heart.

Is there a pure friendship between a minister and an emperor?

The relationship between Zhang Xuan and Luo Yulong was not too good before, nor was it too bad, but today Zhang Xuan clearly felt that he could no longer regard Luo Yulong as his eldest brother, but must be regarded as an emperor, the so-called emperor who accompanies the king and the tiger.

Since the Emperor has already hinted at it. As a great general, he can't help but express something.

Zhang Xuan immediately wrote letters to Zhang Zhen, Wang Jincai, Zhang Pu, Yao Qisheng, and the old departments in various places. The thing is very simple, that is, on top of many affairs, to find some trouble for the court.

Zhang Xuan did this to show his attitude. and the mainstream of civil officials, that is, the Jiangnan gentry.

The two sides originally had a small beam, but from today onwards, it is probably impossible for the two sides to reconcile. It's not that they don't want to, it's that Luo Yulong definitely doesn't want to see it.

"I just hope that this will not delay state affairs." Zhang Xuan thought of self-deception in his heart. Zhang Xuan has always despised party struggle, but he doesn't want to become one of the party leaders himself. And one of the initiators of the party struggle is really unpredictable, and he will eventually become the person he hates the most.

It will take time for Zhang Xuan's hints to be translated into practical actions. So it wasn't going to be a few months before things really evolved. This was not mentioned in advance, and said that Sun Kewang was expected to march into Yunnan.
