Chapter 934

Liu Tianhe, named Songshi, has very old qualifications. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Zhengde, even earlier than Teacher Zhang Chaozhang.And the ability is also very strong, and there is no shortage of professionalism.

It's just that this person doesn't have strong contacts in the court, so he spends most of his time in the northwest border town, working in Gansu, Shaanxi, and the three borders, but he has never made a presence in the capital.

But Liu Tianhe still relied on his excellent achievements to become the governor of the three sides, and even added his official title to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Before Qin Dewei's Fengzhou victory, the governor of the Jiajing Dynasty's record of beheading the northern captives should have belonged to Liu Tianhe, who once made more than 400 beheadings.

In history, Liu Tianhe also had a grandson named Liu Shouyou, who was even more famous than his grandfather.

In the post-Zhang Juzheng period of the Wanli Dynasty, this grandson became the governor of Zuo Dudu, Prince Taifu, and Jin Yiwei all commanded envoys, guards, and Tiqi chief patrols in the post-Zhang Juzheng period of the Wanli Dynasty.

At this moment, looking at the seven or eight famous posts in his hand, as long as Liu Tianhe is not demented, he can guess that something happened to the court that he didn't know about.

Although Master Liu is about to retire and has no desires, he still can't hold back his curiosity.

Then he told the chief follower: "Go find someone to inquire about!"

A big man must pay attention to calmness, how can he rush around to find out the wind in person, and lose all dignity.

An hour later, the long-timer came back and reported to his master: "There is good news and bad news."

Mr. Liu has been on the front line for a long time, and he is a very down-to-earth person. Chang Sui is an old man who has been with him for more than 20 years, and he dares to joke with his master.

Liu Tianhe scolded with a smile: "You're a fool, but you've learned how to play tricks! What's the good news?"

The long follower replied: "The good news is that today the imperial court has promoted the official of the Ministry of War, sir, you have been listed as a candidate, and the report has been reported to the emperor."

In the Ming Dynasty, the capital was the most valuable, but all the governors returned to Beijing for promotion.

After Liu Tianhe heard the news, he was stunned immediately.

After living in Bianzhen for many years, my mentality has long been smoothed out, and I have completely given up hope of entering the court. I am still shocked to hear such news suddenly.

What is the situation today?Iron tree blooming?When you become an official, you will go to the next level?

If he wanted such connections, why did he work in the Northwest for 20 years?Or is it that I have worked hard for many years, and my hard work has finally paid off?
In an instant, the old man thought of a lot, and countless pictures of the past kept flashing.

Studying hard under the blue light of the cold window, writing hard in the examination room, standing proudly on the side wall for the first time, commanding and killing the enemy for the first time.
The mood suddenly became agitated, and Mrs. Liu, who was standing in front of the long follower, unconsciously lost his mind.

"Master? Master?" Chang Sui hurriedly called out a few more times, bringing Mrs. Liu back to his senses.

Then he didn't dare to continue to play tricks. If he got a big ups and downs, it would be a big loss for the master to hang up.

So I hurriedly said: "The bad news is that you are not the only candidate, but the other is Qin Zhongtang in the southeast of the supervisor."

Liu Tianhe: "."

Those who ride horses know that things will not be so simple!How could the Minister of the Ministry of War give it to himself for no reason!

He finally understands what it means for Zhang Bi to make him "tighten the wind"!

Who is Qin Zhongtang, who in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty doesn't know?

Looking at the seven or eight famous posts again, Liu Tianhe also understood that these seven or eight people probably did not come from the same way.

There must be some who want to persuade myself to give in, and some who want to persuade myself not to give up.

"From my point of view, it's better not to get into the muddy water, but to leave early!" Chang Sui suggested sincerely.

Liu Tianhe smiled slyly, "Why did you leave early? Can Qin Dewei still eat me?"

The old man couldn't help reminding again: "My lord, someone wants to use you!"

"Then I can't be used for nothing, and I can also use others in reverse!" Mrs. Liu is a bit of a reverse thinking spirit.

The long follower asked very strangely: "Then what do you want to do, master?"

Liu Tianhe twirled his white beard, and said thoughtfully, "Tell me, if I ask my youngest son to worship Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites as his teacher, will he agree? Or replace him with Wang Shangshu from the Ministry of Housekeeping?"

Chang Sui said in surprise: "Then fourth master has become Qin Zhongtang's junior?"

"So this is a god-sent opportunity." Liu Tianhe said, "There is no reason for it at ordinary times!"

Before Liu Tianhe could say anything, the steward of the guild hall brought another person over.

Liu Tianhe is very dissatisfied with this, even if he is about to retire, why not show off?How could he casually bring people in front of him without reporting?

But the person who was brought here immediately introduced himself: "Junior Wu Chung, under the order of the Chief Assistant, invited the boss to a banquet!"

Liu Tianhe was secretly surprised, and asked calmly, "What is your relationship with Mr. Xia Ge?"

Wu Chung answered truthfully, "It's Weng-in-law!"

Liu Tianhe then knew that it would be impossible not to go according to the etiquette.Xia Yan sent his son-in-law to invite people as the chief assistant, no matter who it is, he must be invited.

Based on the fact that Xia Shoufu was in a hurry and was bound to hire someone, smart people could basically guess the truth.

If Xia Shoufu didn't have any special ideas, would he behave like this?
Afterwards Liu Tianhe followed Xia Shoufu's son-in-law Wu Chun and went directly to Xia Mansion.

And it went in openly, without avoiding people at all, probably on purpose to let outsiders see it.

Then Liu Tianhe waited for a while in the study outside Xia's mansion before Xia Shoufu got off his feet, returned home from the palace, and sat in front of Liu Tianhe.

While ordering the servants to prepare the banquet, Xia Yan chatted with Liu Tianhe, "Song Shijiu has worked so hard in the northwest of the town, and he is actually an honorable soldier. I have never been close, and it is my dereliction of duty."

Liu Tianhe said "hehehehe" in his heart, and almost subconsciously said something cold and humorous: I went to the capital to report on my job when I was full of office the year before last, but it's a pity that Xia Ge is not in the capital.

Then I heard Xia Yan continue to say: "The emperor is trustworthy. He appointed me as the head of the cabinet twice. I have always wanted to do something. However, there are always treacherous people in the court, so people can't succeed."

Liu Tianhe wanted to ask again, who are the traitors?

Objectively speaking, Xia Yan taught Yan Song, the biggest difference is that he still has some "political ambitions", while Yan Song has no.

Perhaps the former Yan Song also had a little bit of ambition, but the 17th year of Jiajing's "Jingzong into the Temple" incident is like a watershed.

Under the coercion of Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song was forced to take the lead in advocating that the Emperor Xian "claimed his ancestors and entered the temple", just like Zhang Fujing Guie and his like 20 years ago, he was also infamous as a treacherous sycophant.

Then the only remaining ambition in Yan Song's heart was shattered, and after that it was broken.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Liu Tianhe who was about to retire, he just continued to listen to Xia Shoufu.

Xia Yan then said, "Recently, I received news that the head of the northern captive chief, Ji Nang, died?"

Liu Tianhe was finally able to speak, nodded and replied, "It is true."

Among the Beilu forces in recent years, Alda is the most powerful, and Ji Nang is Alda's elder brother, and the two are in charge of [-] households on the right wing of Beilu.

But before the rise of Alda, in the early years of Jiajing, the most ferocious force in Koubian was Ji Nang.

It's just that in recent years, Ji Nang has gradually aged, and I Da is in the prime of life, so I Da's limelight has gradually overshadowed Ji Nang.

But the two brothers did not have internal strife. I Da crossed the Yellow River and developed eastward, focusing on Xuanda, while Ji Nang stayed in the Hetao area, focusing on Yansui, Ningxia and other three sides.

Therefore, when Liu Tianhe served as the governor of Shaanxi and the governor of the three sides, his main opponent for many years was Ji Nang, and the feat of beheading four hundred at a time was also obtained from Ji Nang.

It was because of Ji Nang's death that the pressure on the northwest frontier was temporarily relieved, and there would be no problems in the short term, so Liu Tianhe took this opportunity to invite him to serve, so that it would not affect the overall situation.

It's just that Liu Tianhe didn't understand, Xia Yan suddenly mentioned Ji Nang's death, and he wanted to explain something.

Xia Shoufu speaks in a straight-forward style, and won't let others guess in a cloud of mist, and immediately gets to the point: "With Ji Nang's death, is there a chance for a repeat?"

Liu Tianhe: "."

As an old courtier who is about to retire, he came here with the mentality of not offending others and eating and drinking.

Unexpectedly, Xia Shoufu actually raised such a grand topic.

The so-called re-tao means to regain the Hetao, restore the Hetao Guard, and expand the northwest frontier defense to the north bank of the Yellow River.

The opposite of the three-sided defense line is the Hetao, so as the governor of the three sides, Liu Tianhe also has some understanding of the court's discussion on re-taping.

Two years ago, Xia Shoufu proposed re-enactment, and Qin Zhongtang commented that it was a "military adventure of ten bets and nine losses", and then sneered and snuffed out Xia Shoufu's re-enactment proposal.

Never expected that Xia Shoufu would bring up the old matter again today.

If Qin Zhongtang was present, he would definitely sigh with emotion, the inertia of history is really overwhelming; and then sigh with emotion again, why did Master Xia insist on dying?
Liu Tianhe guessed that Xia Shoufu would ask technical questions such as "what are the odds of winning" next, so he made quick calculations in his mind.

Regardless of whether he is an official or not, any veteran who still has a sense of responsibility should not hide his secrets when it is time to give advice.

However, Xia Yan did not ask any technical questions, but only encouraged: "If the imperial court decides to resume the set, there will be no one more suitable than you to sit in the Ministry of War!
After all, looking at the world, there is no one who knows the situation of the Northwest Frontier Town better than you, and you are the most suitable minister of the Ministry of War.What do you think about this? "

This meant that he wanted Liu Tianhe to make a statement, but Liu Tianhe gave a wry smile and replied, "Please think twice carefully!"

I don't know whether it means being cautious about re-applying, or being cautious about the candidates for the Ministry of War.

Xia Shoufu encouraged him again: "Songshi, you guard the northwest and have repeatedly fought with the Hetao cavalry for many years, don't you want to reap all the merits once and for all?
If such a huge achievement is accomplished in your hands, it will be enough to make you shine in the annals of history.The imperial court is thirsty for talent, so it would be a pity for a talent like you, Songshi, to become an official. "

It has to be said that Liu Tianhe is quite excited, such a grand plan can easily arouse passion.

After thinking for a while, Liu Tianhe tentatively said to Xia Yan: "Don't mention anything else, it may not be accurate to say that a good opportunity has appeared just because Ji Nang died."

Xia Yan asked in surprise, "Ji Nang, who occupied Hetao, just died. According to the habits of the northern captives, there must be civil strife within the forces for a year or two first, right? Isn't this a god-sent opportunity?"

Liu Tianhe patiently analyzed and said: "The present is different from the past, and the Beilu still has a strong man like I Da, which can eliminate some civil strife.

Alda forces and Ji Nang forces are of the same origin, and it is easy for the powerful Alda to directly annex the legacy forces of Ji Nang.

In this way, Alda's power will grow stronger, and the pressure on the border defense will intensify. This is very possible. "

Xia Yan said: "This is just your family's opinion. Others may not think so, maybe they really think this is a god-given opportunity."

From Xia Yan's words, Liu Tianhe heard a little implication.

It doesn't matter whether Ji Nang's death is a godsend or not, as long as someone, such as the emperor, thinks it is a godsend, that's enough!
Then you can "pull venture capital" and start the big project of "recovery".

And he, Liu Tianhe, will also be an important pawn in the project, which can enhance his persuasion to venture capitalists.

In this way, Liu Tianhe can completely conclude that "recovery" is a tool used by Xia Shoufu to fight for power and profit, and Xia Shoufu probably wants to seize power by manipulating "recovery".

Regarding Xia Shoufu's mentality, Liu Tianhe couldn't help but doubt it.Such a difficult thing, if the mind is not pure, can it be done well?

Xia Shoufu never imagined that with such a grand idea, the investment would be huge. If it fails, how serious the consequences will be?

While thinking, Liu Tianhe shook his head and said, "It seems that my knowledge is shallow and I don't deserve to be taken seriously. The imperial court should hire another wise man!"

Xia Yan was a little annoyed. It was only in order to get close to Liu Tianhe's conditions and increase Liu Tianhe's competitiveness that he found this topic again. Otherwise, what would Liu Tianhe use to compete with Qin Dewei?

Is Liu Tianhe pretending to be stupid, or is he not aware of the essence of this matter?
Thinking of this, Xia Shoufu put away the previous amiable application, and said solemnly: "The imperial court has its own rules for employing people, and if a minister is selected by the imperial court, he should do his best!
I invite you to come here tonight, just to let you know in advance, you don't have to have too much pressure. "

This probably means that it doesn't matter what you think, just wait for the organization to arrange it honestly!

Of course, if you, Liu Tianhezhen, squeezed out Qin Dewei to become Minister of the Ministry of War, then you will definitely turn against the Qin Party completely.

At that time, are you still afraid that Liu Tianhe will not join you?This Minister of the Ministry of War will eventually fall into Xia Dang's hands!

And he, Xia Yan, had another idea. If the imperial court started to plan for a reinstatement, it could transfer Liaodong governor Zeng Mian to the third side!

Let Qin Dewei's stepfather directly handle the affairs of the set, which is enough to restrain Qin Dewei.

After coming out of Xia Mansion, on the way back to the guild hall, Chang Sui casually asked: "What did Mr. Xia Ge and Master say?"

Liu Tianhe sighed: "Perhaps you are right, it is the best policy to leave early."

These bosses in Beijing have so many tricks, I really can't play with them.Even Xia Yan is already like this, so how mighty Qin Dewei should be?

The long follower came up with another idea: "Why don't you ask Mr. Zhang Ge for mediation?"

Liu Tianhe said helplessly: "It's useless to find him!"

The elder Zhang Ge mentioned by Chang Sui is the township party Zhang Bi, but although Zhang Bi's status is not low, it has always been inflated, so when encountering difficult ideas, he may not be able to help.

　It's time to start a new stage of the plot, and every time I encounter such a node, it is the most painful time to think.
