Zhang Zhongcheng also once served as a non-squire, and the official residence was the third grade, this official position was not small, but later because he was implicated in Li Mo's affairs, he was demoted out of the capital and came to Guangdong as the governor.

Such a man, in that sense, possessed the power and prestige of the governor of either side. Luo Xin is also very optimistic about Zhang Zhongcheng, and feels that this face must be given to Hu Zongxian. Thinking about the possibilities carefully, I feel that Emperor Jiajing also has a great possibility of agreeing.

After all, this time the White Lotus Sect rebelled in Guangdong, even if the White Lotus Sect was exterminated, it may not be able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and this kind of doctrinal thing is really difficult to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. In this way, it is necessary to have a person who is familiar with Guangdong and has the ability and prestige to take charge. Zhang Zhongcheng is naturally the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, Guangdong and Jiangxi will be in the future for a period of time, even if the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan are exterminated, they must be the most chaotic places compared to other provinces, Xu Jie and Gao Gong may not be willing to arrange their own people to be the governor there, as long as they recommend it, Zhang Zhongcheng is very likely to be the governor of Guangdong.

It is estimated that Hu Zongxian and Zhang Zhongcheng have also talked that Hu Zongxian has no future, this is to recommend Zhang Zhongcheng to himself, and Zhang Zhongcheng should also understand what he does in his heart, once Luo Xin recommends him, he is Luo Xin's person, otherwise why would Luo Xin recommend him?

And what about Luo Xin?

There are already many followers around Luo Xin now, but there are still very few followers of high-ranking officials like Zhang Zhongcheng, and Luo Xin also needs such followers.

Luo Xin pondered for a moment, ready to accept Zhang Zhongcheng, of course, he also had to see what Zhang Zhongcheng meant. If Zhang Zhongcheng held the shelf and didn't follow his intentions, he would also help Zhang Zhongcheng this time. This is considered from two perspectives.

On the one hand, it is a personal relationship, which is to give Hu Zongxian a face.

On the other hand, it is for the public, no matter what, Zhang Zhongcheng is in Guangdong, which is the wisest choice for Daming.

Of course, if Zhang Zhongcheng refuses to become Luo Xin's follower, Luo Xin will help this time, and he will not help Zhang Zhongcheng again. From now on, everyone will get along with each other as normal colleagues, not as their own people.

Putting away Hu Zongxian's letters, he began to write letters to Emperor Jiajing again. It was still the previous procedure, and in the end, it was again recommended that Emperor Jiajing discuss the matter of the southern governor as soon as possible.

After writing the letter to Emperor Jiajing, he sent it to the capital, and then Luo Xin began to write again. This time it was a letter to Ma Fang, and it was his decision after careful consideration.

The content in my heart is to ask Ma Fang to write to Emperor Jiajing and transfer Qi Jiguang to the north.

On the one hand, Ma Fang is indeed old today, almost seventy years old. A successor is needed. In history, Qi Jiguang was indeed transferred to the north after resisting the Japanese, and he also established great military exploits in the north. is Ma Fang's most suitable successor.

On the other hand, it is to give Qi Jiguang an explanation. In the south, it is difficult for Qi Jiguang to become a governor, and his future is in the north.

If it can be operated successfully, first of all, Qi Jiguang will be very satisfied, and secondly, Ma Fang will also be satisfied, Ma Fang and Luo Xin exchanged letters many times, and the old man was very worried. His concern was that there would be no successor. Of course, the most suitable successor in Ma Fang's heart is Luo Xin.

However, could Luo Xin go to the northern border?

Even if it is Luo Xinken, will Emperor Jiajing agree?

Obviously, it is impossible for Luo Xin to guard the northern border pass, so recommending Qi Jiguang is the best solution to solve this problem.

After writing the letter, he had just sent his henchmen to the north when he received a letter from Zhang Zhongcheng.

Holding Zhang Zhongcheng's letter in his hand, the corners of Luo Xin's mouth turned into a smile. This person who has been an official in the capital and an official in the local area is different, and he will never show loopholes in his dealings. As soon as Hu Zongxian's letter arrived, his letter came on the back foot.

Smiling opened the envelope, pulled out the letter and looked at it carefully, the smile between her eyebrows was even bigger. Zhang Zhongcheng really deserves to be an old man in the Ming officialdom and a capable person who has made great achievements. Knowing the current battle situation well, according to his plan, it was only a matter of time before the White Lotus Sect was wiped out.

Moreover, in the letter, he also expressed his respect for Luo Xin, and even worship, and clearly expressed his desire to follow Luo Xin.

With this letter, Luo Xin was even more determined to recommend Zhang Zhongcheng as the governor of Guangdong.

However, before Emperor Jiajing clearly expressed his opinion, Luo Xin could only wait, or operate secretly.

Yu Dayou can basically operate as the governor of the water division and sit in Suzhou. Although he will not become his confidant, he is definitely a person in his own camp, and Yu Dayou is not stupid, and has expressed his attitude many times.

If Zhang Zhongcheng is re-operated as the governor of Guangdong, there will be one more high-ranking official in his camp. operated Qi Jiguang to the north, so that his control over the north has also reached a height, even more control than when Ma Fang was in the north.

The most important thing is that whether it is Yu Dayou or Zhang Zhongcheng, on the bright side, they are not their own people. Yu Dayou was originally Hu Zongxian's person, but later betrayed Hu Zongxian and defected to Luo Xin......

Wrong!

It should be said that the imperial court that defected, in the eyes of others, Yu Dayou was able to abandon Hu Zongxian, which means that Yu Dayou is loyal to the imperial court, and Luo Xin is almost meaningful, and he does not have the status and reputation to make Yu Dayou defect.

What about Zhang Zhongcheng?

That is Hu Zongxian's person, not Luo Xin's person. Therefore, Luo Xin did not plant a nail in the south.

This result is very favorable to Luo Xin.

The reason why Luo Xin is better than Hu Zongxian is because everything Luo Xin does is hidden in the shadows, so that Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet have lost their vigilance against Luo Xin.

"But that's not enough!"

Luo Xin rubbed his eyebrows, the relationship between Yu Dayou and Luo Xin was still a little worse, and Yu Dayou's status was not yet enough to become the emperor's trusted favorite, so Yu Dayou had to find a backer in the court.

In fact, Hu Zongxian's two generals, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, have both looked for backers in the court, because neither of them is Hu Zongxian's henchmen, Hu Zongxian Before coming to the south, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang already had a high reputation in the south, and the two of them followed Zhang Jing at the beginning, that is, the former governor of the south.

When Zhang Jing was deposed and Hu Zongxian succeeded him, how could Hu Zongxian trust Zhang Jing's two henchmen?

Not only did he not trust, but he also wanted to take away the military power of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang several times. It's just that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang's abilities are too strong, and they are the two most capable and capable generals in the entire south, so Hu Zongxian has to use them.

Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang naturally knew their embarrassing situation in their hearts, so they both wanted to find a backer in the capital many times.

At that time, Hu Zongxian and Xu Jie were in the honeymoon period, so they didn't see Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang at all, but just asked someone to take the word and ask the two of them to obey Hu Zongxian's orders.
