The letters from Jingzhong to Jia Huan are not only letters from Jiangnan, but also letters written by teachers and commanders in Beijing.

"The bitter cold outside the plug, the month before my friend Mei Zongguan from Guazhou letter, said that in the past two or three years, the body has become increasingly weak, and the eldest son Meiji has stopped learning, and wants to study in Shazhou Mansion, but there is no way out. Ziyu knew what happened back then. Ziyu is now the leader of the Western Regions Literary Alliance, and I ask for my old friend..."

At the desk, Jia Huan pressed the letter from Wei Hanlin, the priest of the country, with a paperweight, licked the ink in the square inkstone with a brush, gently rubbed his eyebrows with his left hand, and smiled slightly bitterly.

Mei Zongguan, that is, the former Mei Hanlin, the word Zongguan. Because he was "counter-killed" in the Yimaoke fraud case in the thirteenth year of Yongzhi, he was demoted to a small official in Hamiwei: working under the warehouse ambassador. His wife and son all followed him to Hamiwei.

The household registration was relocated here. The marriage of the eldest son Mei Yongqing (Meiji) and Xue Baoqin was also annulled because of this incident. Otherwise, whoever the big-faced treasure marries, he will have to toss.

Mei Hanlin was demoted to a small official, and his career was ruined. Cattle people like Yang Mingzi and Xu Jie, are a minority. His son was not deprived of the imperial examination, but it was difficult for him to enter the government to study. Who would do something for a Hanlin who made a mistake?

Here in Dunhuang, academies are not prevalent. Only in the land of Jiangnan and the capital are the academies that prevail. The county and state schools of the imperial court are still the first choice for scholars to study. The effect of prestigious schools is about that.

According to Jia Huan's temper, he disdains to engage in any tricks of "meeting and laughing at each other". Caesar died by the sword of those whom he forgiven.

However, Wei Hanlin specially sent a letter from Beijing, how could he not sell this face?

Jia Huan thought about it, sighed in his heart, and wrote a letter to Wei Jiaoyu of Fuxue. Mr. Wei is the father-in-law of the elder brother and treats him well. With Mr. Wei's stubborn temper, he is willing to bow his head and beg for help, and I don't know how many ideological struggles have been made in my heart. It's hard to make Mr. Wei owe a favor!

Perhaps, Mei Yongqing, a child who has never met before, will cause him some trouble and trouble in the future. But in comparison, he values his friendship with Mr. Wei more in his heart!

At the same time, the utilitarian thinks: What is the weight of the favor of the Guozi Priest Wine (from the four products)?

Guozi priest wine is one of the small nine qing. The officials in this position, going up, did not seek to be released for a term, but directly sought to obtain the six servants and become high-ranking officials in the temple. Especially for officials from Hanlin, this promotion route has very little resistance.

Xu Jie's position was held back then.

…

…

After dealing with this matter, Jia Huan continued to read the letters from the mountain chief and others. From reading between the lines of these letters, he sensed that a political storm was brewing in the capital.

The Western Regions has won a big victory here, and the situation has changed greatly, and the Yongzhi Emperor may be lazy again, or he may be old and lacking energy. Entrust the major affairs of the government to the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft, the scholar of Jianjidian University.

The struggle between Hua Mo and Ji Xingsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, became more and more intense.

From a political point of view, the leaders of the Min Party, Ji Shangshu and Hua Mo, competed for power and profit.

And from Shilin's point of view, this is the struggle between a gentleman and a villain. Huaxue scholars are greedy for money, meet the needs of superiors, have a mediocre political level, and lack the ability to govern the country. The people of insight in the court were extremely dissatisfied.

In the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, Caogong rebelled again, and the Jingshi was shaken, which is proof.

Jia Huan repeatedly "chewed" the letters of Shanchang, Wei Yang, Ji Ming, Xu Yinglang and others, walked around the study, opened the window, and felt the cold winter. Sigh softly in your heart!

He is not optimistic about Ji Shangshu!

Even if Hua Mo's political level is as bad as Yang Guozhong's, his status will not be a problem. The root is in the son of Yongzhi.

And with the level of Ji Shangshu, it is impossible not to see this. But, first, he has an old grudge with Hua Mo. Last time, he teamed up with Ji Shangshu to help Ji Shangshu get out. This time, I'm afraid that the Chinese scholar will not let it go easily.

Second, the so-called banner figure of a righteous man and a gentleman, Ji Shangshu is afraid that he will also be put on fire by the anti-Huamo force. It's what everyone wants!

Jia Huan sat down, and in the letter, he took out the letter written to him by the student Ning Cheng and began to reply. Ning Cheng announces: Because King Wu is extremely trusted by the Son of Heaven, the county lord of Yongqing was canonized as a princess! The title is still Yongqing!

Jia Huan replied to Ning Cheng, and at the end of the letter, he seemed to bring a casual stroke: Princess Wen Yongqing and Ji Xiaoniang are friends. The third sister read it. I want to invite her to her wedding the following year.

What he meant, presumably Ning Xiao understood.

The power of King Wu's faction, if possible, secretly deal with Ji Shangshu. Count him owing Princess Yongqing a favor.

Ji Shangshu had an excellent personal relationship with him. At the same time, it is a political ally of Jiafu. And Jia Huan himself has a general relationship with Hua University. The trade-offs are obvious.

…

…

After Jia Huan finished writing the letter, he happened to see the letter from Yan Wang Ning Xi to him again, and couldn't help but have a soft smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ziwen had a son in the autumn and wanted to ask him to give him a nickname. The name of the prince of Yan is naturally a matter of Zongzheng Mansion. Like Zhu Yuanzhang, he even chose the names of all his children and grandchildren.

Jia Huan put the letter aside, he had to think about it. Pick up another letter and read it again.

This is the letter that Vivi wrote to him.

From this faintly scented notebook and beautiful long font, it was enough to make him think of her beautiful face, noble and elegant, hidden deep in his heart.

"The concubine heard about the chaos in the Western Regions and the continuous war, and she was worried about the princess.... I don't know where Yuhua is, how is it lately? Concubines and poems, I think very much in my heart. If Jia Lang has any news of her, he can inform the concubine. ”

Jia Huan gently stretched the letterhead with his hand, reverie, and sighed lightly.

Shi Yuhua traveled from Dunhuang to Khotan along the Southern Western Regions Road, avoiding the war in the Qiuci region, however, he also did not know where she was now. The Western Regions are now a group of heroes, demons are dancing wildly, and order is collapsing.

This woman who is determined to pursue art, a generation of famous singers, she has not left her traces in the art history of the dynasty. It would undoubtedly be a pity to die in such turmoil.

As the New Year approaches, perhaps the Guo family's caravan will bring him some news.

Jia Huan took a sip of warm tea and looked at the cold white clouds above the courtyard. pondering the current situation in the Western Regions.

There is no doubt that in the Battle of Beishan, the main force of the Bayegu coalition army was defeated, and after Qiuzi was captured, the situation in the Western Regions entered a new period and a new situation.

Regardless of whether the coalition forces of the Baye Ancient Department are willing or not, they can only retreat to the North Garden!

The next stage of the Zhou army's mission was to capture the rich Beiting. At the same time, it is necessary to pass through the area east of the Green Ridge. Don't think about the control of the river and Tocharian regions for the time being. In short, it is the four towns of Anxi: Qiuzi, Khotan, Shule, and Broken Leaves. For the decisive battle of Mobei in the future, accumulate military strength.

Kou can go, I can go too! The ancient tribe of Baye invaded the surrounding territory, killing and plundering. The ultimate goal of the Western Expedition is not to drive them out, but to exterminate them! It's emotional!

At the same time, if there were strong barbarian tribes in Mobei, the borders of the Zhou Dynasty would not be peaceful. It's reality! The Zhou army set out from the capital, and the army gathered, could it be that in the end it was a half-pulled project?

Therefore, the end of this war is predestined: it will end with the elimination of one side.

Jia Huan took care of the affairs in his hands. Cheng Yu had already set off a few days ago and headed for Khotan. Preparing to lobby the local separatist forces in Khotan, the Wei Chi family returned to the imperial court. He is currently acting as an agent for the administrative affairs of Dunhuang.

It is equivalent to a branch of the Western Regions Political Division.

Then, his duties were mainly logistics, public opinion. In terms of logistics, the mobilization and dispatch of the army's logistics supply and demand are in the responsibility of Hu Qianwang, who is familiar with it and manages things in an orderly manner.

In the early stage, military spending was mainly based on the debts of the Western Regions, plundering and killing the fat sheep of Hu merchants in Dunhuang, and there were spoils of war dividends after the war. Later, it is necessary to cultivate a fixed source of fiscal revenue. This is the administrative side of the job. Just follow the steps. Not to the point where he wanted to figure it out.

Public opinion is divided into the propaganda of the Tuntian decree, the public opinion propaganda war through the black-clothed crescent guard, and the internal public opinion guidance: Western Regions Daily. It is mainly Bomber who is responsible.

His core job now is the matter supported by the Governor of Qi: to carry out the order to kill Hu!

and the silver in exchange for the heads of the four clans.

There are silver mines in Dunhuang. The coinage molds that the Ministry of Industry had shipped to the Western Regions earlier were still in Dunhuang. He wanted to export silver dollars on a large scale in exchange for human heads, weakening the strength of the four divisions. At the same time, the monetary kingship of the Great Zhou silver dollar was established.
