When Wen Zhenmeng appeared in the public house, the color of his face was pale.

Yang Tingshu has already gone to guide the revision of historical materials, Zheng Xunrui is alone in the public house, Zhan Shifu is still some distance away from the Hanlin Academy, Wen Zhenmeng came in a hurry, there must be something big.

"Qingyang, tomorrow the emperor is going to summon you, you can be careful, no matter what the emperor says, don't agree, just say that you are not thoughtful, or want to stay in the Hanlin Academy."

"Master, don't worry, you sit down and talk, what's going on."

"Alas, it's all the old man's inconsiderate thoughts, aren't you thinking about leaving the capital, the old man reported to the emperor the day before yesterday, I originally thought that I could let you go to many prefectures and counties in Beizhili to experience it, which is also a good thing, I know that today's cabinet discussion, I actually let you go to Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi, where is the fire pit, how can the old man be willing, don't say anything else, tomorrow the emperor will summon you, you will raise a lot of difficulties, presumably the emperor is not very reluctant, you are the champion of the palace test, how can you go to Yan'an Mansion."

Wen Zhenmeng was still talking in a hurry, and Zheng Xunrui had already begun to ponder.

He is completely aware of the situation in Shaanxi, and he also knows the situation through many twists and turns.

During the Apocalypse, there were homeless people in Shaanxi who rebelled, but the real outbreak of large-scale homeless rebellion was still in the first year of Chongzhen, for which the imperial court repeatedly encircled and suppressed, but because of the problem of policy direction, as well as years of famine, the scale of the rebellion of the Liukou was getting bigger and bigger, and the court was more and more headache for this, a few days ago, the trilateral governor Yang He rebelled again because of the surrendered homeless people, and was removed from his post and replaced by Hong Chengchou, but because of the two-front battle, the Houjin Tartars invaded at critical moments, The imperial court was unable to concentrate on exterminating the Liukou, and the resurgence of the Liukou abounded.

Xi'an, Yan'an and Qingyang Mansions, to which Shaanxi belongs, are the places where Liukou activities are most frequent, and Yang He used to sit in Ningzhou, which belongs to Qingyang Mansion, and accepted the surrender of Shen Yikui and others.

Let him go to Yan'an Mansion to serve as the prefect, what does this mean, you must know that Hong Chengchou is still in Shaanxi to exterminate the Liukou, it should be said that Shaanxi is a real war zone, what can be done in such a place, as the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, just to prepare the materials needed for the army, it is exhausting, basically don't think about being able to do anything else.

Seeing that Zheng Xunrui had not expressed his position, Wen Zhenmeng was a little anxious.

"Qingyang, the old man said so much, did you listen to it?"

Wen Zhenmeng must be in a hurry, and he also knows the situation in Shaanxi, so he is worried about Zheng Xunrui.

Such worries are very normal, and they are also concerns between loved ones.

After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Xunrui decided to analyze it slowly, and finally let Wen Zhenmeng agree.

"Master, don't worry, in Shaanxi, Chongzhen began to rebel in the first year of the Liukou, many situations, the imperial court is very clear, such a place, the problem of zài is also very obvious, that is, the famine for many years, so that many farmers can not survive, in order to be able to survive, join the team of the Liukou, although the imperial court sent troops to exterminate, but it has not been able to solve the problem of people's livelihood, so no matter how to exterminate, the Liukou can always resurge."

Wen Zhenmeng looked at Zheng Xunrui and didn't speak, but his feelings were much more stable.

"Such a place, it is said that the imperial court should send capable officials to stabilize the situation in the place, so that the imperial army can be able to exterminate the liukou smoothly, the younger generation is so young, without any experience, was sent to Shaanxi, it is said that it is incomprehensible, this is also the reason why the master was so anxious after hearing about it, but the younger generation feels that there is a deep meaning in this."

"That makes sense, Qingyang, you go on."

"If the imperial court sends the juniors to other peaceful places to serve as the prefect, in three or five years, the juniors basically can't do anything, even if they do some things, they are also annihilated in many twists and turns, but if they are sent to Shaanxi, it will be different, maybe the juniors don't need to do too much, as long as they can stabilize the situation in Yan'an Mansion, it will be a great credit, and it will not be muddy Zhang Cunmeng, rebelled after surrendering, and is looting the rice fat to which Yan'an Mansion belongs, At this time, it should be a decision made after careful consideration to let the juniors go to Yan'an Mansion. ”

Wen Zhenmeng was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.

"The old man is also strange, this matter is said to have been raised by Lord Xu, the second assistant of the cabinet, Lord Xu is old and serious, he is a pillar of the imperial court, and he can't speak."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, since it was proposed by Xu Guangqi, it means that it has indeed been seriously considered, maybe this is a springboard for himself, to be able to stand, and the next step is to vigorously promote.

"No, even if it is such an arrangement, it will not work, Yan'an Mansion has a vast area, it is one of the largest prefectures in Shaanxi, you are so young, you take on such a heavy responsibility, the old man is not at ease."

"The grandfather's concern, the younger generation understands, but this time I'm afraid I can't refuse, to Fuzhou County to sharpen, is the younger generation took the initiative to put forward the request, if the grandfather does not say, the younger generation is also ready to play the fold, since it is the initiative to mention, then it is necessary to really take responsibility, no matter whether the responsibility is big or small, if at a critical moment, retreat, what kind of impression will it leave on the court, how to be an official in the court in the future, when the master opposed the eunuch party, he has considered his own safety, not to risk death, Boldly stood up, did the master think about retreating at that time. ”

"This, you, the situation is different this time, you went to Yan'an Mansion, you risked your life, the old man was already full of children and grandchildren back then, even if he encountered an accident, it was not a big deal, but you just got married, how can you go to Shaanxi to take risks in such a good year."

"What the grandfather said makes sense, but can the younger generation say this in front of the emperor, or even in the court, it will cause shame, so that the younger generation will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life, the younger generation must pay attention to the reputation, if the younger generation retreats this time, it is not only the younger generation whose reputation will be damaged, but also the grandfather."

Wen Zhenmeng's eyes were a little moist, and he looked at Zheng Xunrui, unable to speak for a long time.

"Alas, the old man is also in a hurry, I didn't think so much, it seems that the old man can't object to the matter of you going to Yan'an Mansion, others can say it, but the old man can't speak, and you can't open your mouth."

"The master doesn't have to worry too much, since the emperor is going to summon him, the younger generation knows what to say, the younger generation is so young, he went to Yan'an Mansion and took on such a heavy responsibility, how can he not put forward many requirements, if the court meets the requirements of the younger generation, the younger generation will naturally do his best, if it is constrained everywhere, then it is no wonder that the younger generation."

"Okay, good, well said, that is, you have to put forward a request, find the imperial court and ask for money and food, with money and food, you will definitely be able to stabilize the situation when you go to Yan'an Mansion."

After Wen Zhenmeng left, Yang Tingshu soon came in.

"Qingyang, I heard that you were sent to Yan'an Mansion to serve as the prefect."

"Brother Huaidou, where did you get this news?"

"I listened to what Lord Shen said, at first I thought I heard it wrong, how can this work, you are the champion of the palace test, even if you go to Fuzhou County to sharpen, it should be Beizhili, so many Fuzhou counties, I just want you to go to Yan'an Mansion, isn't this a deliberate calculation, no, I want to write a recital to the imperial court."

"No, Brother Huaidou must not do this, you must know that the emperor's decree and the edict of the ministry have not come down, if you are on the fold at this moment, how to explain, besides, if the court sends me to Shaanxi, it must have a deep meaning, even if someone calculates against me, then I have to face it calmly, have you forgotten what we have experienced together, when I traveled in Suzhou, wasn't it the same situation, if I retreated at that time, what kind of situation would it be."

Yang Tingshu stomped his foot.

"Qingyang, I know what you said is correct, but sending you to Shaanxi, I just don't get convinced, there are so many adults in the court, why don't you send others to Shaanxi, you are the champion of the palace test, and your literary talent is outstanding, this is something that everyone knows, let you go to Yan'an Mansion, what you think about every day is how to raise military rations, how to provide disaster relief, how to do this."

"I know this, I will find a way, Brother Huaidou, there is something I want to entrust to you."

"Whatever you say, as long as I can do it, I will never delay."

"After I left the Hanlin Academy, the matter of making the document should fall on you, during this time, Lord Shen has a very good impression of you, and he will definitely recommend it to the imperial court, Yan'an Mansion is far away from the capital, two thousand miles, after I leave the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to know many matters of the imperial court, if you have time, write me a letter every month to inform the important period that has taken place in the imperial court."

"You can rest assured, I will do it, there is less than one letter a month, and when you know, I'm afraid it's late, I'll write you a letter every ten days, informing you of important things in the court, if something serious happens, I will write to you immediately, and I will send it to you through the official post."

Speaking of the official post, Zheng Xunrui couldn't help but smile bitterly, in the second year of Chongzhen, Hu Ke gave Liu Mao a fold to the court in the matter, saying that the number of official posts was too large, and the money was lost, and the post pawn was abolished, but Li Zicheng, who was a post pawn at that time, went to Ganzhou to act as a border soldier because he had no way to live, and finally began to rebel.

"Don't be so anxious, two letters a month is good, there shouldn't be so many things, if there is anything urgent, you can write to inform me at any time, this matter, please Brother Huaidou."

"Don't worry, we are brothers, we can't do this thing well, I have no shame, by the way, if the holy decree of the imperial court comes down, when you leave the capital, we must have a good gathering."
