Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 112 The Black Hand Behind Huguang

When seeing Feng Hengshi for the first time, there was only a hint of old age on his body, but when seeing Feng Hengshi the second time, Jia Ying felt from him what it meant to be an old man.

This is the third meeting between the two of them. At this moment, Feng Hengshi feels to Jia Ying that he is really an old man in his twilight years!

Her face was as thin as a knife, with prominent cheekbones, and a hint of paleness on her complexion, leaving only a pair of bright eyes!
"You are here!" The old man said to Jia Ying in a harmonious voice with a kind smile on his face.

"Teacher! The students are here to see you!" Jia Ying walked to the bed, kowtowed with a trembling voice.

Feng Hengshi didn't wait for a trace of sadness, but said peacefully: "You don't have to! You don't have to! Dong Laigong has told me about you in the letter. If I have a student like you, I will have no regrets in this life! "

"It's the students who came late and failed to share the teacher's worries!" Jia Ying said sadly.

Feng Hengshi patted the edge of the couch so that Jia Ying sat down, then chuckled and said, "The situation here is more complicated than I expected. Even if you were by my side before, it would be difficult to change anything, but you are here now. it's time to!"

Speaking of the Huguang matter, Feng Hengshi's eyes lit up again, and the paleness on his face was diluted a lot!

"Before, the old man followed suit in Huguang, just because he was worried that no one would be available, which would lead to the paralysis of the local government. Isn't it because of this that those people were confident and opposed the old man openly and secretly? Now the court has relieved the old man. This year's Xinke Jinshi, in addition to those who were selected and sent to various places in Dagan, Ye Baichuan also retained some of them. The number is not large, but it is enough to relieve the urgent need. There are also some outstanding candidates who failed the examination. The son, who was also selected by him, can fill the vacancies in some places.

The old man is thinking about how to arrange this group of people, but he suffers from the fact that there is no one trustworthy and capable person around him to help the old man with this matter. Now that you are here, the old man is much more relaxed! "

What Jia Ying didn't know was that Ye Baichuan had staged a big show to cover up Chen Cang under the watchful eyes of all the court officials.

It's not that the Ministry of Officials has not sent newly elected officials to Huguang. For example, Liu Yunlong is currently serving as the magistrate of Jiangxia County, but these are all on the surface.

With Feng Hengshi's in-depth actions, the vacancies on Huguang's side are destined not to be reduced. If only conventional procedures are followed, there will inevitably be people in the court who oppose him sending a large number of newly elected officials to Huguang. Ye Baichuan is the official The book is true, but the imperial court is not his monopoly. Once someone objects, Feng Hengshi's plan in Huguang will inevitably be delayed indefinitely, and in the end he can only turn a blind eye and let those people go.

Now Ye Baichuan has played such a trick, but he has deceived everyone in the court!

This is the advantage of being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!Of course, the premise is that you have the emperor to endorse you. Obviously, this big drama cannot be arranged by Ye Baichuan alone.

As for what method he used to hide it from everyone, Jia Ying didn't know. If you don't get to that position, you will never understand how powerful the Minister of the Ministry of Officials will be!
This is also the reason why it is extremely difficult for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to enter the cabinet!
"Teacher, is there anything the students need to share?" Jia Ying asked.

Feng Hengshi shook his head and said, "There is no rush! Let me explain the current situation in Huguang with you first, so that it will be convenient for you to act in the future!"

Jia Ying nodded, took a bowl of tea and handed it to Feng Hengshi, then sat aside and listened quietly.

Feng Hengshi took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "At first, the old man only thought that the Huguang incident was only related to the corruption of officials, and then Fei Lian, Zhong Shanlang, Bao Sizhen and others were the culprits. It turns out that things are not that simple!"

"When we work in the local provinces, we implement the system of three divisions. It is impossible to cover the political history with one hand. It involves local military and political affairs. It is not uncommon for the three divisions to push each other. The position of the governor and governor of the local military and political general affairs! But Huguang is different from other places. The chiefs of the three divisions here not only came together, but also joined forces! Even if they have mutual interests, can these three big It is not an easy task to knead the members together! There must be someone who is playing the role of threading the needle! At first, the old man always thought that this person was Xu Zhemu."

"Isn't it him?" Jia Ying couldn't imagine that apart from the emperor and the chief assistant, there was no one else in this world who could match Xu Zhemu's power.

Feng Hengshi shook his head and said, "It's him, but it's not just him! Xu Zhemu can participate in local government affairs, but he can't reach out to local military affairs."

"Doing military affairs has always been the food of the founder of the country. Do you think they will allow others to steal meat from their hands?" Feng Hengshi said to Jia Ying meaningfully.

When Jia Ying heard this, she just let out a wry smile!
It's the founding father again!
When he went to Beijing, he had seen a lot of nobles who were the founders of the country. Why did others see the nobles like wolves and tigers, but most of the nobles he saw in his eyes were older than Jia Zhen and Jia She They are not much stronger, they only know how to fight cocks and play with women all day long, which is not as scary as others say!
He has met almost all the headed family members of the eight mansions, except for a few who still retain a bit of the bravery and blood of their ancestors, most of them can't escape the sentence "there is nothing but gold and jade, but there is nothing in it".

Some people may suspect that all of this is their disguise, a way of survival that belongs exclusively to Xungui.

Don't you know that if you pretend to be a dandy for a long time, you will become a real dandy sooner or later!

In life, everyone has a disguise, but why isn't that a manifestation of the true heart?

He has never met the old King Beijing, but he has met King Nan'an several times. He is a remarkable figure!The old Nan'an King's title was passed down to his generation, and he was originally a Marquis, but he insisted on raising the title again by virtue of his contribution to conquering the South.
The Marquis of Xining only heard about it in the battle report, that he was seriously injured in the First Battle of Hexi and survived the battle, and the court only issued a decree to reprimand him, but did not pursue too much responsibility!
As for the head of the Dongping Prince's Mansion, I have only heard people mention that in this generation, he is also a marquis, but he is not young, but now he is dedicated to supporting the elderly in the mansion.

Perhaps the truly powerful founding nobles are the only ones left!
Most of the other Marquis, Bo, and Viscount's houses are like Jia's house, and some of them have even lost their inheritance for many years.

As for generals like Feng Tang, although their positions are not low, they do not have titles after all, so their influence will naturally be lowered.

There is also Wang Ziteng, who is far from being the flag bearer of the founding line at the moment!When will he remove the word "quan", maybe.
Not to mention these, I heard Feng Hengshi say: "Although Xu Zhemu is from Huguang, he has lived in the capital for a long time, and his control over Huguang is not as great as outsiders think! Besides, he is an extremely human minister. However, after all, there is only one generation of wealth and honor, and it will not last long. There is still a chief assistant on top. Although the officials in Huguang regard him as a backer, it is far from the point where they can take their lives for him! And according to the old man Xu Zhemu understands that this person loves power and not money!"

Jia Ying pondered what Feng Hengshi said just now, and seemed to have realized something, looked at Feng Hengshi and said, "The teacher means, that Chu..."

Feng Hengshi nodded!
Jia Ying's heart was full of turmoil, what is that guy trying to do?
But I heard Feng Hengshi continue to say: "After taking down Pan Gui, the commander of the Huguang capital, the old man carefully checked the military equipment allocated to Huguang by the Ministry of War over the years, and found clues in this investigation! Among the military equipment allocated by the Ministry of War, more than [-]% do not know The whereabouts, especially the firearms, the various guards in Huguang are still using firecrackers and artillery that should have been eliminated and destroyed long ago!"

"He still wants to rebel?" Jia Ying asked in surprise.

Feng Hengshi only responded calmly, but did not speak, everything was in silence.

But Jia Ying thought of something again, and asked worriedly, "Mr. Xu Ge also participated in it?"

Seeing Jia Ying's expression, Feng Hengshi asked curiously, "Why, do you still have friendship with Xu Zhemu?"

Jia Ying shook her head and said: "The second son of his family, Xu Fengnian, has a good relationship with the students! Although he has no ambitions, he is a good friend. After all, the students don't want to see him being implicated!"

Feng Hengshi understood Jia Ying's mood. In the final analysis, he was a young student after all. He showed no loyalty and made many friends. Who was not like this when he was young?

It's only after you pass Lent that you will find that there are fewer and fewer people around you!Some fell on the way, some parted ways, and some became your lifelong enemies!

Feng Hengshi did not go to comfort Jia Ying, the ups and downs of life, after all, you have to experience it yourself, this is an inevitable lesson on the road of growth!
But I heard Feng Hengshi say: "Whether Xu Zhemu participated in it or not, I won't judge subjectively, but the eldest son of his family, I have a personal letter from him, Fei Lian and others!"

Having said that, Jia Ying is no longer lucky!
If it's just corruption and corruption, with Xu Zhemu's status, he might be dismissed from office and return home. Even if someone wants to settle with him, the emperor will at most kill him alone. The whole family, young and old, relatives far and near, how many people can be spared?

"Since the teacher has the evidence, why?" Jia Ying asked curiously.

Feng Hengshi shook his head and said: "It's not enough to just rely on what I have in my hands! It's a big case of treason, and it also involves the clan. If there is no solid evidence, it will only add confusion to Your Majesty, so we have to wait until they first Do it! The old man is pressing hard in Huguang every step of the way, just to make them unable to bear it anymore! Besides the evidence, the old man dare not send someone to deliver it to the capital easily, the journey is long, but if there is a mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted!"

"What does the teacher want to do next?" Jia Ying asked today's topic!
I only heard Feng Hengshi say: "Old man, I want you to go to Changsha!"

"To Changsha?" Jia Ying was puzzled!
Feng Hengshi nodded and said: "The three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi in southern Xinjiang are guarded by [-] troops from the South Camp of Nan'an Wangzhen. They are close to southern Hunan. Even if they start an incident, they will not choose the southern Hunan region! And the officials in Huguang will not choose it. Silly, I haven't reached the point where I'm going all out! Do you think they will go all the way with that person?

So I want you to go to Changsha. First, I want you to help the old man stabilize the situation in southern Hunan. I have a list here. Those who should be arrested and those who should be kept are clearly recorded on it. When you arrive in southern Hunan, just follow the list. In addition, I will leave it to you to arrange the new Jinshi sent by Ye Baichuan, but whether they are useful and where they should be arranged is up to you to decide. This can be regarded as an experience for you!There are still some Huguang officials who can be used, and you can also consider rescheduling as appropriate.

The two, you and I, master and apprentice, one south and one north, echo each other from a distance. If something important happens in the north of Hunan in the future, and you are away, I don’t have to worry about not having backup! "

Jia Ying asked again: "Teacher, but I don't have a single soldier in my hand."

Feng Hengshi chuckled and said: "You grew up in southern Xinjiang, I don't believe you can't find reinforcements there! In addition, His Majesty once gave me a decree for dispatching troops, so you can take them with you too!"

Jia Ying understood what Feng Hengshi meant, he wanted to go to the King of Nan'an for help.

"However, only the teacher is left in Wuchang. The students are really worried, and there is no one around the teacher who can use him."

Feng Hengshi turned serious and said: "Liu Bai, you have to understand the purpose of His Majesty sending you and my master and apprentice to Huguang! In front of the court's important affairs, personal safety is of no concern! Besides, after preparing for so long for the teacher, how can there be no arrangements? You Just do what the old man told you, it will be the greatest help to your teacher!"

Jia Ying finally complied with Feng Hengshi's arrangement, but he thought of another thing, and immediately said: "Teacher, you still have a student in Wuchang Mansion. If you need someone to help you, you might as well consider looking for him!"

"You're talking about Liu Yunlong, right?" Feng Hengshi said with a smile on his face, "Before he took office, he visited the old man, and he wanted to stay and serve for a few days before taking office, but the old man didn't agree! Don't worry, Jiang Xia Wuchang City in the county is not far away, so when he is needed, he will naturally not be left behind!"

Seeing this, Jia Ying didn't say anything more, she just asked: "Teacher, how about the students staying for one more day before starting?"

Feng Hengshi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in response.

After discussing the follow-up arrangements, Jia Ying talked to Feng Hengshi about what he saw and heard in Jiangbei.

After hearing this, Feng Hengshi said with the same serious expression: "I already know what you said! I don't need to hide it from you now. The Sanyang Sect is originally a branch of the White Lotus Sect. The old man suspects that they are That man's reliance was nothing more than hiding soldiers from bandits! The old man also made arrangements for Jiangbei's affairs. The new commander of Huguangdu, Cen Pingnan, is now in Jingzhou. However, the situation over there is even worse, so he can only If you try your best to maintain it, you will naturally ignore Hanyang and Huangzhou!"
