Chongzhen is an acute son, and he is stubborn and self-serving, Wen Tiren has been the secretary of the Ministry of Rites since the early years of Chongzhen, Chongzhen has served as the first assistant for three years, and has served the master for seven years, and he has a thorough understanding of his character. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Hearing Chongzhen ask at this time, he knew that he had actually made up his mind, and calling himself was just to fill in the gaps and help him refine this idea.

If it weren't for Xie Sanbin's letter and 10,000 taels of silver, Wen Tiren would not have cared about the fate of a general in Qiongzhou Mansion in Guangdong. However, in order to win over Xie Sanbin, it is necessary to consider the demands in his letter, in addition to seeking the position of governor of Denglai, and to ensure that his future son-in-law is promoted to the chief military officer in the same place, but this is contrary to Chongzhen's idea.

Wen Tiren can understand the thoughts of Xie Sanbin and Weng Son-in-law, although the Beijing official is good, but in addition to his reputation, how can he be a local magistrate? Even if you make money, the place is more convenient than the capital, and the Beijing officials do not have much gray income except for high-ranking officials above the level of Shangshu, and most of them live a relatively poor life. The same is true for military generals, if they enter the Beijing camp, they will definitely be eaten to death by the nobles and officials, how can they eat empty pay in the local area and live happily.

What can be done to dispel the emperor's thoughts? Wen Tiren fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Wen Tiren didn't answer for a long time, Chongzhen's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Changqing doesn't agree with my opinion?" ”

Wen Tiren woke up from his contemplation and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the minister very much agrees with this approach, since there is such a talent in the local area, it is reasonable to be transferred to the Shenji Battalion to serve the imperial court." Wouldn't it be deserted to be a general in that place in Qiongzhou? ”

Chongzhen was happy, "You also agree with my idea?" Then the decree, you come to write, immediately transfer the summer south to Beijing, the official title remains unchanged for the time being, if there is indeed real material, it can make the Shenji Battalion improve, and it is not too late to be crowned a deputy general. ”

Wen Tiren replied while pondering: "Your Majesty, before the decree is drafted, how many words does the minister have that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand: "If you listen to it, you will be clear and believe in the dark, you can just say it." ”

"This summer, Nanyi was transferred to the Shenji Battalion as a staff general, and the military attachés in charge of the battalion are all nobles, so it's good not to exclude him, so where can the so-called training of the Shenji Battalion begin?"

Chongzhen was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you promote him to the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion?" ”

"Including the Shenji Battalion, the commanders and deputy generals of the three major battalions have always been honorable, and they have never been left behind, if this is arranged, Xia Nan will definitely become the target of public criticism."

Chongzhen's face was a little difficult to look at: "If the official position is low, it is useless to speak, and if the official position is high, I will be hated, so what do you say I should do?" Is it possible to clean all the three battalions and replace all the generals in charge of the battalion? ”

Wen Tiren lowered his head and avoided Chongzhen's gaze: "This is naturally impossible, cleaning the three major battalions for a nobody, it is tantamount to an earthquake......"

In fact, he didn't say it, and Chongzhen also knew that it was impossible. Although the Beijing camp has been weak for a long time, the personnel relationship is complicated, involving most of the nobles and important ministers of the Beijing Division, even if he is the son of heaven, he can't be cleaned if he wants to.

Chongzhen became irritable and paced back and forth, "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Wen Tiren saw that Chongzhen was shaken, and took the opportunity to offer advice: "Actually, Your Majesty's idea is excellent, but it is not the right time to transfer south to Beijing in the summer at this moment." It is better to reward his merits and deeds according to the merits of Shandong's counterinsurgency, promote his official rank, hone his skills in the locality, accumulate more merits, and boil up his qualifications, and wait until his military achievements, military merits, and qualifications are impeccable, and then transfer him to the Beijing Division. ”

Chongzhen stopped and sighed: "Hey, Changqing is reasonable. But how much time will it take to delay this time, I can't wait! I can't wait to train the Beijing camp this year and send it out to suppress the rogues and fight the Tartars. You also know that those local military generals want to be paid more than one by one, and if they want to fight, they will push back and hinder, for many reasons, if I can train 100,000 elite Beijing battalions, why should I suffer from the idleness of these warriors? ”

Wen Tiren breathed a sigh of relief, and this move finally diverted the emperor's attention and dispelled his thoughts.

"The minister knows His Majesty's hardships, but if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and some things can't be rushed."

Chongzhen sat back in his chair and asked, "Then according to your meaning, how should you reward this Xia Nan?" Since you want to boil up your qualifications, why don't you directly transfer to Beizhili to be an idle chief military officer? In the future, it will be more convenient to transfer to Beijing. ”

"I don't think it's right. The reason why Nan was able to train his troops and train some famous names this summer is mostly because there is no constraint in the remote place of Qiongzhou Mansion, and the so-called 'orange born in Huainan is orange, and born in Huaibei is orange', if he is rashly placed in Beizhili, maybe he will be unknown to everyone. It is better to make him the chief soldier and still stay in Qiongzhou. ”

Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "You can't directly promote the general army, otherwise there will be no room for rewards in the future. When he is transferred to Beijing in the future, I will personally issue a reward for him, which can not only make him feel the grace of the king, but also deter the generals of the Beijing camp - the official is personally sealed by me, who dares to disobey! ”

This is the emperor's mental trick, to pinch the courtiers, first suppress and then promote, let them be grateful to Dade, and by the way, announce the ministers, this is the person I have chosen, you must cooperate with him, and you can't secretly make stumbling blocks.

Wen Tiren was helpless, and said in his heart: Xie Sanbin, Xie Sanbin, I can only help you get here, the emperor wants to take care of your son-in-law, I can't do anything, and if I dissuade you from this, I don't know how to advance or retreat.

Thinking so in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, Shengming, it should be so." ”

After discussing this matter, Chongzhen remembered another thing in the recital, since Shoufu was here, it was better to ask for his opinion together.

"The rebellion in Shandong is peaceful, and the governor of Denglai is vacant, so the vacancy must be filled. Is there a suitable candidate for Changqing? ”

Wen Tiren cheered up when he heard this, and replied without hesitation: "The minister thinks that the Shandong Patrol Imperial Shi Xie Sanbin has made meritorious contributions to assist in countering the rebellion, and he is familiar with the people in the Denglai area, so he is the best candidate. ”

Chongzhen stared at Wen Tiren scrutinically, and saw that he met his gaze without any intention of dodging, and nodded secretly. As an emperor, he is most afraid that his courtiers will collude with each other and fight against the imperial power. Wen Tiren is a "lonely minister", this Xie Sanbin is a speech official, there should be no intersection between the two, this recommendation should come from the public heart. Zhu Dadian, Xie Sanbin and others have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and they were supposed to be rewarded, but since Shoufu also recommended this person, it was decided.

"Then the purpose is to draft: Zhu Dadian has a good command of the army, the right attendant of the promotion department, and is still the governor of Shandong; Xie Sanbin assisted in countering the rebellion, served as the right imperial history, and added the deputy envoy of Shandong according to the inspection, and the governor Denglai; In the summer, Li Jiucheng, the head of the thieves in the south, made meritorious contributions to the naval division of the rebel army, was promoted to deputy general, and added the governor of Guangzhou, and was still stationed in Qiongzhou; The rest of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are rewarded for their meritorious deeds. ”
