At the end of the first month, Hong Chengchou arrived in the capital, and after serving as the Jiliao Governor, he went to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion in Ningyuan.

Over the years, Hong Chengchou is also busy, out of the trilateral governor, began to be responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, and then was named the governor of the five provinces, or responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, during the period because Zheng Xunrui served as the governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou served as the governor of Xuanda, but also his bad luck, during the period of serving as the governor of Xuanda, after the Jin Tatars entered the customs and looted, Cao Wenzhao's general soldiers under his command were punished because of the unfavorable battle, as the governor of Hong Chengchou, although he was exempted from punishment, but his heart was not good.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou took office and served as the governor of Jiliao.

As the crown prince and the secretary of the military department, as the governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou has great power, controlling all the imperial armies of the Guanningjin defense line in eastern Liaodong, as well as the armies of Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou, Tianjin, Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places, including the people's livelihood matters involving the army in these places.

All matters involving Liaodong are the responsibility of Hong Chengchou.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Houjin Tartars entered the customs from Gubeikou and Xifengkou and other places to plunder, it is said that Hong Chengchou is responsible, but the Houjin Tartars attacked Beizhili and other places, Hong Chengchou's main responsibility is to garrison the Guanning Jin defense line, if the two want to force the pull, there is still a certain relationship, but after the Jin Tartars entered the North Zhili to loot, the greater responsibility lies in the military department.

Because Zheng Jiajun gave Houjin Tatar a heavy blow, everyone was safe and sound.

This time, after the Zheng family army crossed the sea to raid the Jin Tartars, and recovered the vast area of Lushun to Fuzhou, it actually has a certain relationship with Hong Chengchou, because the military affairs of Dengzhou are controlled by Hong Chengchou, that is to say, the Penglai Sailor controlled by Zheng Xunrui, strictly speaking, is also controlled by Hong Chengchou.

The Zheng army won a major victory, and as a matter of course, they occupied Penglai City and controlled the Penglai Naval Division.

Zheng Xunrui was the governor of Caoyun, and he served as the head of the household department and the imperial history of the right capital. Its main responsibility is still in the aspect of transportation, that is, to ensure the smooth transportation of materials from the north and the south, but it meddles in the affairs of the military department, which seems to be a bit nondescript.

Look at Hong Chengchou again. As the governor of Jiliao as the secretary of the military department, he was obviously military-oriented, but after a few years, he did not see any military achievements, and he did not even fight with the Houjin Tartars.

Hong Chengchou's fame is very great. Strictly speaking, it is even more famous than Zheng Xunrui, in terms of age, Hong Chengchou is forty-five years old, twice as old as Zheng Xunrui, in terms of seniority, Hong Chengchou Wanli forty-four years ago, the fourteenth in the second class, Zheng Xunrui was a one-year-old milk doll at that time, and Hong Chengchou also suffered a lot of hardships in the officialdom. He successively served as the director of the Criminal Department, the outer lang, and the middle of the Lang, and later was sent to Zhejiang to serve as the senator of the political left, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he went to Shaanxi to serve as the supervisor and senator. Chongzhen served as the governor of Yansui for three years, and his reputation was shocked because he opposed his boss Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to "suppress and appease at the same time, and focus on fussing", and killed the surrendered rogues.

The development of facts proved that Hong Chengchou was right, and Yang He was removed from his post because of the rebellion of the surrendered rogue. Hong Chengchou served as the governor of the three sides, and was fully responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, and at this stage, he achieved great achievements.

At these levels. Although Zheng Xunrui suddenly rose to prominence, created the Zheng Family Army with his own hands, and made great achievements, in terms of prestige, he still cannot be compared with Hong Chengchou.

Zheng Xunrui has repeatedly made military achievements, but Hong Chengchou has never done anything. Naturally, there are people in the DPRK who watch the excitement, they think that Zheng Xunrui completely suppressed Hong Chengchou, making Hong Chengchou's inaction more obvious, as the most prestigious martial arts talent in the court, Hong Chengchou must be uncomfortable.

What makes everyone believe that there is a contradiction between Hong Chengchou and Zheng Xunrui is that when Zheng Xunrui was the governor of Shaanxi, he did not obey Hong Chengchou's dispatch very much, and then Zheng Xunrui won a major victory in the battle to exterminate the Liukou, and when he was about to achieve the final victory, the imperial court suddenly asked Hong Chengchou to be responsible for the extermination of the Liukou again, and Hong Chengchou did not seize the opportunity.

After Hong Chengchou was responsible for the affairs of Liaodong, resisting the Houjin Tartars, Zheng Xunrui, as the governor of the five provinces, led the army to defeat the Houjin Tartars, so that the Houjin Tartars evacuated Beizhili in a hurry, and after serving as the governor of Caoyun, Zheng Xunrui led the Zheng family army to regain the lost territory, and defeated the Houjin Tartars, so that the Emperor Taiji, who led the army to conquer Korea, hurriedly withdrew his troops.

Isn't this tantamount to a slap in the face of Hong Chengchou?

The day after Hong Chengchou arrived in the capital, cabinet ministers Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun came to visit at the same time.

When the cabinet minister came to visit, Hong Chengchou naturally wanted to greet him in person.

Qian Shisheng's qualifications are very old, although he is not in charge of the military department, but he has the right to speak in the cabinet, and behind Qian Shisheng is the Donglin Party, which Hong Chengchou is clear.

Hou Xun is also a member of the Donglin Party, although he has not been in the cabinet for a long time, but because he has been the secretary of the household department for a long time, his power is not small.

The fact that the two Donglin Party members became cabinet ministers shows that the Donglin Party's influence in the DPRK is not small.

Hong Chengchou has nothing to do with the Donglin Party, he knows very well that the party is fierce, so he will not offend the Donglin Party, and falsely think that it is a snake, it is precisely because of this vague attitude that the Donglin Party still has a certain good impression of it.

Hong Chengchou has been in the official post because he was ordered to enter Beijing, waiting for the emperor's summons, but Zheng Xunrui has not yet arrived in the capital, so Hong Chengchou has to wait honestly at the official post.

Qian Shisheng specially arranged a banquet at the official post, and the cabinet ministers came to the official post for dinner, and the postmen did their best to prepare.

After three rounds of drinking, Hong Chengchou had very few words, most of them were some irrelevant words, and in the face of Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun, he was still very careful and would not easily show any thoughts.

Qian Shisheng looked at Hou Xun, Hou Xun nodded slightly, and spoke.

"Lord Hong is stationed in Liaodong, the military affairs are busy, and he has to squeeze out time to come to the capital, if you want to say that two days have passed, you are still waiting for Lord Zheng in the capital, it really shouldn't be, Lord Zheng is young, you must be modest, don't think that you have made military achievements, it is too late, let Lord Hong wait, no matter what, Lord Hong has a high prestige and qualifications in the court."

Hong Chengchou heard Hou Xun say this, his heart was very useful, in fact, waiting in the capital, he didn't have a taste in his heart, and he felt a little like accompanying the prince to study, as if Zheng Xunrui was the protagonist, he was just a supporting role.

But the words that come out of the mouth are different.

"Lord Hou said this, the lower officials dare not be in charge, maybe Lord Zheng has other things to delay."

Qian Shisheng finally spoke.

"Lord Hong is so humble, Gu Da understands the overall situation, Lord Zheng should really study hard, no matter what, this is the emperor's holy decree, and the road cannot be delayed, it is said that Lord Zheng should arrive in the capital today at the latest, and there is no trace of him until now, so the official is really not good to say."

Qian Shisheng opened his mouth to speak, and Hong Chengchou was not good at continuing to be modest.

Qian Shisheng has been a cabinet minister for many years, and his eyes are very poisonous, and he can see the dissatisfaction in Hong Chengchou's heart, perhaps this dissatisfaction has been gathering for a long time and cannot find a place to vent.

When it was picked up again, Qian Shisheng decided to cut to the chase.

"Lord Hong, this official will give you another drink."

Hong Chengchou picked up the wine glass, and the two drank the wine in one go.

After putting down the wine glass, Qian Shisheng spoke again.

"The situation in the capital, presumably Lord Hong is aware, many adults suggested seizing this opportunity to hit the Houjin Tartars hard, the official also thought so, but after seeing Lord Hong, the official changed his mind, this matter of exterminating the Houjin Tartars, should be Lord Hong has the most right to speak, Lord Hong is the governor of Jiliao, responsible for all matters in Liaodong, under heavy pressure, the most clear about the affairs of Liaodong, the official thinks, the adults in the court did not consider the problem from the perspective of Lord Hong."

Qian Shisheng said this, Hong Chengchou was very surprised, he also heard these rumors, what Liaodong direction of the imperial army stationed in the direction of the imperial army, should launch an attack on Dalinghe City and other places, take the opportunity to occupy Dalinghe City, and then threaten Guangning and Yizhou and other places, Hong Chengchou even heard that Zheng Xunrui's twists and turns, so he put forward such a suggestion.

This is definitely not possible, the strength of the Houjin Tartars is field battles, once the army stationed in Liaodong breaks away from the city, it will soon fall into the heavy encirclement of the Houjin Tartars, and it may form an unbearable disaster at that time.

"Lord Qian, Lord Hou, launching an attack on Houjin Tartar at this moment, the lower officials think it's inappropriate."

Qian Shisheng smiled and waved.

"Lord Hong doesn't need to say much, this official and Lord Hou fully support Lord Hong, and I won't tell you anything, when I was in front of the emperor, this official suggested that Lord Hong should command the military affairs of Liaodong and Fuzhou and other places, whether it is defense or attack, after the Golden Tartars, they must be under unified command, if they fight separately, it will definitely not work."

When Qian Shisheng said this, Hong Chengchou couldn't sit still, if he didn't understand the meaning, he would be a real fool and a fool.

Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun threw out the olive branch, Hong Chengchou has no reason to refuse, so he has a more reliable power in the imperial court, if such a good thing is refused, it is ignorant of current affairs, I am afraid that it will be difficult for his family to sit firmly in the position of Jiliao Governor.

Hong Chengchou picked up his wine glass and spoke to Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun.

"The care of Lord Qian and Lord Hou, the lower official remembered, the lower official borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha, and toasted the two adults with a glass of wine."

Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun raised their wine glasses with a smile, and the three of them drank the glass of wine in their hands at the same time.

After Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun left, Hong Chengchou closed the door to thank the guests, no one was seen, and patiently waited for the emperor's summons, which made the speculation in the court more and more, Hong Chengchou took the lead in coming to the capital and waiting for Zheng Xunrui, this situation is also very peculiar, anyway, Zheng Xunrui should rush to the capital before Hong Chengchou, young people should be humble, let the long wait, either arrogant, or through the military exploits to show.
