Fu Song

Chapter 38 Xia admonishes others
Knowing the famous mansion, Xia Jie and Xia Zhiyan, the former governor of the East mansion, was a standard scholar-bureaucrat.

He was born as a jinshi, first became a censor, then became a magistrate, and then gradually rose to the position of political affairs minister. Although he was still one step away from the prime minister of the East House, it was only a small step.

Once upon a time, he thought he was really hopeless.

It was his self-confessed wise choice to go to Hebei Road for a term and to accumulate more qualifications, but who would have thought that after taking this step, it would be almost irreversible.

In those few years, Daming Mansion was really windy and rainy.

Who would have thought that the frontier army here would collapse to such a degree?
At the most dangerous time, Xia Jie was ready to die for the country.

If you can't step into the peak of people and ministers in life, you have to make a name for yourself when you die.

Fortunately, things didn't go anywhere in the end, and the Liao people made a scene, that's all.

Then the court transferred King Jing to serve as the appeasement envoy.

Although he was made empty, Xia Jie, who was terrified, breathed a sigh of relief.

King Jing was transferred, but he still placed himself in the Daming Mansion, which naturally meant some punishment, but Xia Jie didn't care much at that time.

Nothing but life and death.

In the past few years, as the northern Xinjiang has become better and better day by day, Xia Jie's ashes-like heart has jumped up and down again.

King Jing is a capable man.

In the past few years, I have learned the lessons from the past. I don't understand things, don't interject, act according to King Jing's orders, be down-to-earth, do my job as a prefect diligently, and work hard for King Jing. Good logistics, but it also paid off.

King Jing is also a man.

Whenever there is some merit, Xia Zhiyan will always be brought up.

After going back and forth, the stains of his early years have almost been washed away.

And Xia Jie also felt that he had learned a lot in the past few years, especially in the military, and he was no longer as ill-informed as before.

When I first came, I always felt that I knew astronomy and geography, and the army was fighting, and that was the same thing.

After suffering a big loss, I finally understood what it means to learn from paper and finally feel shallow, and I absolutely know that this matter must be practiced.

It's ridiculous that he used to be that Zhao Kuo who was talking about soldiers on paper.

But it's different now.

King Jing is leaving.

The big mountain that was pressing on his head was finally about to be removed.

I, who had been out of breath for a while, could finally take a few breaths of fresh air.

What is Cui Ang and Cui Huaiyuan?
Where was he when he entered the Dongfu as a political governor?Are you a transit envoy in Hedong or Jinghu?In the past few years, he has been doing well, but he is just a younger generation.

In terms of qualifications, he is far worse than himself.

If he came to be a comforter, could he put it on his head?
Really a joke.

Xia Jie and Xia Zhiyan naturally have their own people in Beijing.He already knew in advance that although the imperial court had appointed Cui Huaiyuan to be the appeasement envoy, but at the same time, he also let himself serve as the Hebei Road transport envoy in the name of the famous Daming House.This is to hand over the financial power of the entire Hebei Road to himself.

Building a bed and stacking a house is to control each other. Officials have always been extremely skilled in this set.

As a newcomer to appease, if he wants to compete with himself who has been in business on Hebei Road for many years, he is not very good at Cui Ang.

If you know the opportunity, the two of you will say hello to me and everyone. If you don't know the opportunity, then we'll just break up with each other. If we don't make you look ashamed and go back, we've spent so many years in Hebei in vain.

What's more, now that King Jing has returned to know the famous mansion, the meaning of the official family has been clearly expressed.If he had a dispute with Cui Huaiyuan, the officials would definitely ask King Jing what he meant. Could it be that King Jing would not help him?
In any case, everyone has been partnering together for several years, and in the past few years, he has been very flattering to King Jing.Among the merits made by King Jing, he must have at least a few hardships.

To be honest, Xia Jie and Xia Zhiyan have no attitude towards the current two kings fighting each other.

His status and his political background made him have the capital to stay out of the way.

But now, he wants to stand up for the second king. Even if he is not on the bright side, it is necessary to help him secretly.

If the second king really became the East Palace or even became an official in the future, then Xia Zhiyan would most likely return to Bianliang and become the first assistant.

Use cooked not raw!

One day, King Jing will definitely believe that he will not sing the opposite of his strategy.

If the official family and the Dongfu cannot keep pace, then the official family will be helpless in many cases.

If the two governments are determined to embarrass the official family, unless the official family resolutely removes all the ministers and re-appoints Ma as the minister.But the political cost of doing so is too great, and even officials cannot do whatever they want.

Of course, the official family can also bypass the two houses and directly issue the central order to the local officials and generals.

But at this time, if the local officials and generals did not follow the order, they had to say two things.

Without the seals of the two governments, such a central purpose, from a legal point of view, is not in compliance with the rules and regulations.Officials have every reason to push back the official's central purpose, and the official family can only do nothing.

The local officials are not fools. They do things according to the central order. If the results are good, then of course everyone will be happy.Of course, those who have received the decree are the scapegoats.

The two governments will never be soft-hearted at this time.

A word of flattery, if you trap the king in injustice, can completely kill your future.And if such a thing spreads out, it definitely has a bad reputation in the Shilin Qing Dynasty.

Contradict, direct remonstrance, you can win a good name for yourself.

But if you offer it flattery, it will definitely be despised by people.

Therefore, the safest way is to directly push the Zhongzhi back with a sentence that is inconsistent with the law. Anyway, it is impossible for the officials to really convict them because of such a thing.Even if they want to commit crimes, will the two governments agree?

Xia Zhiyan had done something like this several times in his life.

"Changsheng, is Xiao Changqing gone?" Xia Zhiyan, who was receiving a massage from a maid, asked when he saw Xu Hong, a scavenger from his house, who was walking outside.

Xu Hong nodded, but he didn't look outside. He pulled a chair and sat opposite Xia Jie, and glanced at the maid.

Xia Jie waved his hand, and the maid immediately retreated silently.

"Let's go, King Jing sent a lot of things. The guard who came back said that it should be a lot of copper coins, at least tens of thousands of coins." Xu Hong said.

"Xiao Changqing is a strong general, the key is to have a good father and a good family!" Xia Jie sighed: "At that time, when we had such a strong general, why did we suffer such a big loss?"

"Duanming, even if Xiao Changqing came under your command at the beginning, it is impossible for you to give him such support." Xia Jie and Xia Zhiyan's pavilion post is the Bachelor of Duanming Hall, so Xu Hong also uses Duan Ming called his boss.

Xu Hong bluntly exposed Xia Jie's vain thoughts, Xia Jie was not annoyed, but nodded with a smile: "You are right. King Jing is about to leave the northern border, but he did not forget to deepen his own feelings. Influence."

"The Xiao family was originally tied to King Jing, and now Xiao Yu and Xiao Longtu have become the three envoys, it is natural that they should be drawn more closely." Xu Hong said. "Father is the God of Wealth, and the son is a fierce general, why is King Jing willing to be slightly negligent?"

"I'm afraid that Cui Huaiyuan will not like this Xiao Changqing!" Xia Jie laughed: "Then Xiao Changqing is not a man of three and a half, I have tried many times, both openly and secretly, although this child is young, but his ambition is It's very firm! It belongs to the kind of one who can't pull back the nine-headed cow once he has determined something."

"Cui Huaiyuan is a newcomer, and he always wants to try it." Xu Hong said, "Not only for Xiao Changqing, but also for his father Xiao Longtu! And Xiao Changqing is also the kind of person who doesn't shy away as long as it is for business. As long as Cui Huaiyuan is not selfish and wants to be a public servant, then Xiao Changqing will definitely be his help."

"Then it depends on Cui Huaiyuan's mind!" Xia Jie laughed loudly: "But from what I know about Cui Huaiyuan, the two of them will never urinate in the same pot. Cui Huaiyuan's name is Huaiyuan, the fact is The tight-hearted, the people who are not his, will never gain his trust."

"Then what about you?"

"Longevity has been with me for many years, so you should know me!" Xia Jie smiled and said: "I may not be the kind of person who is humble, but he is still much stronger than Cui Huaiyuan. And I know Xiao Changqing! Like Xiao Changqing. If you give him absolute trust, he can give you several times in return. Unfortunately, the court doesn't trust me anymore. If I can take over the plate left by King Jing, let alone go further, at least The status quo can also be maintained.”

"So, Duanming is not optimistic about Cui Huaiyuan anymore?"

"I'm not optimistic at all!" Xia Jie said sternly: "Look at it, once Cui Huaiyuan takes office, the first thing to do is to clean up the generals."

"Won't Duanming stop it?"

"Why stop it!" Xia Jie sneered: "Only if he does something wrong, the court will remember that the Hebei Road can really be a big thing now, and I, Xia Zhiyan, this is also my chance to make a comeback. As long as I arrive When will we be able to clean up the mess that Cui Huaiyuan created, is the location of the first seat of the East Mansion still far from me?"

Xu Hong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Duanming is speaking to my heart. I'm also worried that when Cui Huaiyuan comes, you will give him some color to see. If the two sides get into trouble, Cui Huaiyuan will file a lawsuit. , you are the one who suffers."

"How could that be? I will support him very strongly. As a famous prefect, Hebei Road transport envoy, what does he want, what I will give, if he is really bad, he will not be able to rely on me." Xia admonished.
