Chapter 396: A Good Story
When Qin Shuhuai arrived at the door of Hong Chengchou's mansion, he happened to meet Hong Chengchou going out to greet him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing Qin Shuhuai, Hong Chengchou immediately said, "Qin Shaobao is coming to Hancheng, the lower officials have missed the distance, forgive the sins!"
Qin Shuhuai looked at it and saw that Hong Chengchou's cheekbones were slightly protruding, his cheeks were thin, his eyebrows were full of talent, his expression was full of enthusiasm and dignity, and his heart was really a Confucian general.
So he immediately stepped forward and gave Hong Chengchou a salute, saying, "Hong Futai is serious." Wouldn't it be abrupt to come to visit without permission?"
Hong Chengchou is now the governor of Shaanxi, and the governor of Shaanxi has been vacant, but Chongzhen made him the governor of Shaanxi in order to give Hong Chengchou grace. However, because there were three governors above, and it was wartime, he, the governor of Shaanxi, was temporarily located in Hancheng.
The two chatted outside for a while, and then entered the mansion.
Qin Shuhuai didn't say a word, first read out the holy decree, and said that he would inspect the three sides on behalf of the heavens and assist in the suppression of bandits. Of course, the focus is still on the sentence "In case of extraordinary events, I grant Qin Shuhuai the right to act arbitrarily, and his decision is my holy judgment".
Hong Chengchou knelt down to accept the order, and read it carefully very carefully, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he return it to Qin Shuhuai.
After Qin Shuhuai sat down, he said, "Lord Hong, in the battle of Hancheng a few months ago, Lord Hong strategized and won more with less, and the emperor still remembers it!
Hong Chengchou smiled faintly, and said without surprise, "As courtiers, no matter what position we are in, we should do our best for the emperor and the court, and the emperor has praised it." Having said that, although Xia Guan has a little merit, compared to Qin Shaobao's great achievements in retiring Jiannu and pacifying Jizhen, it is just a stubborn stone to see Mount Tai. ”
Qin Shuhuai smiled, "Lord Hong is too modest. As you said, as courtiers, we all only want to do our duty as courtiers and share the emperor's worries. If there is chaos today, it is the time for my generation to show their skills, to say a word from the heart, when I see Lord Hong next, I really feel a sense of sympathy. ”
Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Shao Bao is in love." How dare Xia Guan be compared with Shaobao. ”
He was telling the truth. So far, he has only shown his strength in the Battle of Hancheng, and it was because of Qin Shuhuai's strong recommendation in front of Chongzhen that he was promoted early and became the governor of Shanxi. In terms of merit and fame, he is much worse than Qin Shuhuai.
Qin Shuhuai took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Lord Hong, I didn't talk to you about the scene. Let's just talk about the bandits on the three sides, I'm afraid that the views below are the same as yours. ”
Although Hong Chengchou advocated suppressing the main fu as a supplement, but because Yang He was there, he never mentioned it, so he was a little curious, this Qin Shaobao had never met him, how could he be so sure that his views were consistent with his own?
So he said, "Oh, this official is going to ask for advice, I don't know what Shao Bao's opinion is on the trilateral suppression of bandits?"
Qin Shuhuai said, "The three-sided suppression of bandits, and the suppression is endless, all because of Governor Yang's 'simultaneous suppression and appeasement'. The so-called 'simultaneous suppression and appeasement' is actually a soothing and soothing and suppression, resulting in an endless stream of bandits. On the way, I even heard that there is such a limerick poem circulating among the rogues, called "Being a thief is a good deal, happy and free." As long as Governor Yang He is here, the imperial court will not treat us badly." You say, the most thieves have made a good deal that is sure to make money without losing money, who doesn't want to be a thief?"
Hong Chengchou nodded again and again when he heard this, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes to meet his confidant.
On the three sides, he may be the most disgusted person like Yang He, who "does not kill the rogue, but returns to his hometown with capital". He had always believed that instead of giving money and food to the thieves to return to their hometowns, it was better to use the money and food to reward the brothers or to support the people who were plagued by the bandits. He knew very well that these rogues had always surrendered if they couldn't be defeated, and they would rebel if they surrendered, and he thought from the bottom of his heart that they should all be beheaded. He also vaguely mentioned it to Yang He, but the reason Yang He gave him was "ominous killing prisoners"!
So since then, he has never made such a suggestion.
But now he has finally found someone who has the same opinion as himself, and this person is still the famous Qin Shuhuai, which makes him feel like he has found himself.
After Qin Shuhuai finished speaking, he said to Hong Chengchou, "I don't know what Lord Hong thinks?"
Hong Chengchou nodded and said bluntly, "What Lord Qin said is right, but the lower officials have the same opinion as Lord Qin! The reason why the trilateral rogues are rampant is that they are not effective and overly soothed. ”
"Haha! So you say that Lord Hong and the hero see the same thing, so it's not wrong to say that you feel sorry for Lord Hong in the next day, right?"
Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "That's true." When the lower officials saw Shaobao, they also had a sense of finding themselves. ”
Qin Shuhuai nodded, and then said in his heart, "So, Lord Hong, the emperor sent me to the three sides this time to re-plan the matter of suppressing the Kou!"
Hong Chengchou was slightly startled.
He was a very intelligent man, and soon smelled something unusual in this sentence.
The governor of the three sides is Yang He, if the emperor just wants to re-plan the matter of suppressing the Kou, he can just find Yang He directly, why should he let Qin Shaobao come over?
Obviously, the emperor wants to take back the three sides from Yang He's hands, but he is afraid of Donglin's power.
Why did you suddenly have to collect the three sides? Was it simply because Yang He was ineffective in suppressing bandits? Or was it ...... The emperor can't bear Donglin anymore?
After pondering for a while, he felt that the latter was the most likely.
The reason? Zhou Yanru could have been the first assistant, but he hasn't gone up yet, isn't this a circumstantial evidence?
Hong Chengchou was silent on his face, but he was happy in his heart.
He has a deep relationship with Donglin, and he has to be valued by the emperor, if Donglin falls, he will definitely be a great beneficiary.
Taking a sip of tea gently, he said, "Qin Shaobao is brave and good at scheming, and the world knows everything, if he can help Yang Du plan the trilateral suppression, I believe he will definitely be able to turn things around." ”
Qin Shuhuai smiled in his heart, thinking that this Hong Chengchou was really an old fritter, and he had to wait for himself to say it clearly before he could express his position.
Okay, if you want to understand, I'll give it to you!
So Zhengse said, "Lord Hong, if I sit on the three sides, what do you think?"
Hong Chengchou saw that Qin Shuhuai had made his words clear, and immediately got up and bowed deeply to Qin Shuhuai.
"Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, with 25,000 soldiers under his command, must be the only one to protect the horse, and be ready to be dispatched at any time. ”
Qin Shuhuai immediately got up and held Hong Chengchou's hands and said, "Lord Hong, please sit down quickly! You and I don't have to be so polite in the future." Since Lord Hong regards Zai Xia as a confidant, then we are good friends. I call Lord Hong Brother Hong, and Lord Hong calls me Brother Qin, how about it?"
This suggestion came to Qin Shuhuai's idea temporarily. Aren't you Hong Chengchou a good face and crave courtesy, then give it to you.
Is it enough to save face for the prince to admit you as a brother? Is it enough to give you courtesy in the future?
After that, there was no Tartar to enter the Central Plains, and there was no bridge where you were defeated and captured in a lonely city, so you will not surrender, right?
Hong Chengchou was really taken aback, "This, how can this be made? You are a Shaobao, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, ...... you?"
"Brother Hong, this is the outside. ”
Hong Chengchou saw that he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to be respectful and obedient, and said with a smile, "In this way, the foolish brother will recognize you, a forgetful old brother, don't regret it." ”
Qin Shuhuai laughed, "If Brother Hong is not at ease, let's pick an auspicious day to worship." ”
Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "Haha, it's not a bad story!"
To put it bluntly, such a good thing as swearing to Qin Shuhuai and becoming a brother is a normal person's willingness!
