Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 609 Zhang Juzheng

But Zhang Juzheng's friend said disapprovingly: "Brother Zhang's words are wrong. Dudu Huo is young, of course he is young and heroic. Dear niece, if you want to suppress Governor Huo Dou because of his great achievements in the army, why would His Highness marry Miss Liu to Governor Huo?"

Then the friend picked up the wine cup and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Brother Zhang, don't think too much. Now it's to celebrate Brother Zhang's return to Beijing. Since he was called back urgently by the Ministry of Officials, he must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Today I will go first." Congratulations to Brother Zhang! Please!"

"Please!"

Zhang Juzheng also put a lot of thoughts behind him, touched a cup with his friends, and drank it all in one gulp.

In the evening, Zhang Juzheng lived in a friend's house. The next day, after washing and changing into new clothes, Zhang Juzheng went to the official department to report on his work.

The little official who had been ordered a long time ago brought Zhang Juzheng to Xu Guangqi's place.

Xu Guangqi put down the book in his hand and signaled Zhang Juzheng to sit down. Zhang Juzheng sat in the hall, straightened his back, and waited for Xu Guangqi's order.

"Relax!"

Xu Guangqi smiled and said: "Zhang Juzheng, do you know why I called you to Beijing so urgently?"

"The lower officials don't know!"

Xu Guangqi stroked his beard under his chin and said: "The young masters are young, but they have also reached the age of elementary school, so His Highness specially selected a few people to be his teachers. The county selects a county magistrate who knows the affairs of the people as the master."

Zhang Juzheng is so smart!
I understood it as soon as I heard it, and immediately bowed to Xu Guangqi: "Thank you, my lord, for your recommendation!"

"It's not my credit. If it wasn't for your outstanding achievements, how could His Highness choose you?"

Xu Guangqi smiled.

Then he stood up, "You came back at the right time, Your Highness is now in Han Gongfu, you follow me to see His Highness!"

"The subordinate takes orders!"

"Your Highness, Xu Shangshu has brought Zhang Juzheng County Magistrate here!"

Dian Wei reported to Liu Dehui.

At this time, Liu De was not reviewing the memorials in the palace, but was practicing swordsmanship in the school grounds of the Duke of Han. Hearing what Dian Wei said, he turned around, "Let them come directly!"

"I greet your Highness!"

Xu Guangqi and Zhang Juzheng came to the school grounds to pay homage to Liu De who was wiping the sweat off his face.

Liu De threw the sweat towel in his hand to Dian Wei, nodded, waved to the two of them and said, "Come here!"

Liu De took the two of them to a small pavilion not far from the school grounds, where a servant had already brought tea.

"sit!"

Liu De tapped his chin to signal.

"Sir, I'm terrified!"

The two said quickly, and then gently placed half of their buttocks on the stone bench.

Liu De picked up the teacup, gently blew on the tea powder floating on the water, raised his eyes and said to Zhang Juzheng, "It's the busy spring, did you supervise the farming before you came?"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please rest assured. Before coming, I have already ordered the specific requirements. There are county magistrates and masters to supervise them. If there is no accident this year, the county should have another bumper harvest."

"To be more specific, I want to know some things about the folks. I have been fighting alone for several years. Before that, I often went to the countryside to inspect the people's conditions in the countryside. However, in the past two years, I have become more and more unable to leave. Even in the early morning Practicing swordsmanship is interrupted from time to time!"

"His Royal Highness is busy with government affairs, this is the blessing of all people!"

The two said quickly.

"Haha, that's fine, I don't need to say these compliments, Gu wants to see hard-working officials."

"Yes!"

Zhang Juzheng straightened his mind, and immediately said to Liu De: "Your Highness, since Emperor Ling came to the throne, what I have seen in the countryside is abandoned babies, tyrannical power and lawlessness, rampant eunuchs, and incompetent officials, but now it has only been a year or two. At that time, the tyrants did not dare to cause chaos, and the eunuchs had long since disappeared. Coupled with the taxation reformed by His Highness, there were no so many exorbitant taxes, and the common people could support their babies, and there were fewer abandoned babies. They are all more conscientious, this is the merit of His Highness, and the people are lucky!"

Liu De was noncommittal, what Zhang Juzheng said was indeed true, but he must have concealed something, Liu De had both the Arch Guard Division and the Xuanjing Division in his hands, and he had inspected Yanzhou before, so even if he didn't dare to say it, he would know There are many things in the world, but people still know a lot about the real suffering.

Zhang Juzheng glanced at the expressionless Liu De, feeling a little apprehensive, but continued: "There are more than a hundred cattle in Chen County, although the number is small, but as long as it is handled properly, it will be enough for the people of the county to use. It is convenient for those from poor families to use, and the interest rate is also the lowest.”

Listening to Zhang Juzheng's narration, Liu De's serious expression eased a lot. Zhang Juzheng is indeed an official, and it is useless for him to be the teacher of Liu Ren and the others.

Liu De said to Xu Guangqi: "Just let Zhang Juzheng go to your official department to take the post of chief (Zheng Qipin)."

"Yes!"

Xu Guangqi nodded.

Liu De continued to say to Zhang Juzheng: "After appointing you as a servant, you can come and go freely in the Duke of Han's mansion. Of course, apart from these two duties, the rest is to teach those orphaned children. How to teach you, teachers Discuss it yourself!"

Zhang Juzheng looked excited, and immediately bowed and said: "I obey!"

Holding the urgent report from Beiping in his hand, Jian Yong said to Zhao Yun and Bai Yi: "His Royal Highness said in the letter that Wu Long would never be pardoned, but letting Wu Long's family members go, this is already the biggest concession of His Highness."

"I'm afraid Wu Long will jump over the wall in a hurry!"

Zhao Yun said from the side.

"Don't be afraid, Wu Long is unable to move because of his serious injury. Without Wu Long, the family with the Wu family will have no backbone. Why don't we preemptively strike!"

Bai Yi suggested at this time.

Jian Yongdao: "General Qin's soldiers and horses have arrived at the border of Xizhou, and they can enter the state at any time. We have been in Xizhou for too long. It's time to understand this matter. General Zhao, General Bai, please follow along." I will meet General Baili together!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Yun and Bai Yi said.

When he saw Baili Yun, Jian Yong went straight to the point, "General Baili, Your Highness is willing to forgive Wu Long's family, but Wu Long cannot live!"

Baili Yun was surprised and said: "Is there no room for change? The old man is willing to enter Beijing."

"General Baili leaves Xizhou. I'm afraid the Western Army will be in chaos. Is this what General Baili wants to see?"

"This is it?"

"General Baili, just listen to the next sentence!"

Jian Yong directly interrupted Baili Yun, and said: "General Baili, you can protect Wu Long for a while, but you can't protect him forever? Wu Long obstructed in every possible way, and even suspected of murdering us, even if he spares his life this time , that generation must be dissatisfied in their hearts, and will definitely look for opportunities to make troubles, dare to ask General Baili, can Wu Long at that time withstand tens of thousands of Han troops?"

"At that time, it wasn't just the Wu family that was involved, but tens or even hundreds of aristocratic families in Xizhou, General Baili, do you understand?"
