After Zhu Ping'an sent Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian away, he returned to the study and muttered to himself, "The other takes his place." Then he shook his head and smiled, thinking that it's okay, just go to sleep, there is everything in the dream.
"He takes his place".
This is the bait thrown by Zhao Wenhua. It is indeed very tempting. I really want to replace it, but
How is it possible? Even if I am caught with a hook, this bait will not fall. into one's own belly.
Zhao Wenhua’s preferred candidate is Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian obeys Zhao Wenhua 100%. He can’t even do it one percent. Hu Zongxian is the governor, and Zhao Wenhua is the governor’s supreme emperor. Zhao Wenhua definitely prefers Hu Zongxian to be the governor.
Even if Zhao Wenhua really wanted to replace him, Yan Song and Yan Shifan would not agree.
Historically, even if Yan Dang fully supported Hu Zongxian for this position, it only fell to Hu Zongxian after a lot of twists and turns. Yan Dang would definitely not go to such trouble to help him.
It would be nice if the strict party does not make things worse for itself.
You have to rely on yourself for everything. Well, Master Xu Jie can also help you beat the drum in front of the Holy Master.
The battle of Wangjiangjing is about to begin. He has to earn another military merit and show his face in front of Emperor Jiajing.
"Come here, bring the news from the Baojia reports from various places." Zhu Ping'an ordered the officer outside the door.
“No.”
The guard outside the door responded.
Soon, a thick stack of information more than two feet high was reported in by the guard. Zhu Pingan took it and immersed himself in it.
The top three reports in Liuwang Village reported that there were suspected Japanese pirates in exile in the woods outside the village
Wangmu Town Jiafang Wujia reported that a suspicious person entered the cloth merchant's house in Fang City yesterday and did not leave all night.
While Zhu Ping'an was immersed in the sea of information, he rode several horses to the governor of Jiaxing City In front of the government office, the guard at the gate was holding a stick and wanted to intercept him. The first rider took out a sign with the word "patrol". When the guard saw the sign, he quickly got out of the way and several riders rushed into the government office.
"You go and place the horses, and I will report to the Governor." The leader got off his horse and counted the riding lanes behind him.
Soon, this person came to Zhang Jing's study under the leadership of the police officer, holding a token with the word "Xun".
"Report, there is urgent information from the patrol camp." The officer stepped forward to report.
"Let the patrol camp come in."
Zhang Jing's voice came from the study.
The officer nodded to the patrolman, who put the token in his arms and walked into the study.
Besides Zhang Jing, there was another person in the study, Li Tianchong, the former governor of Zhejiang and now the doctor of Yingtian Military Department.
"Your Majesty, the Governor, I am responsible for monitoring Zhao Wenhua and have urgent information." The patrolman reported.
Because there was an outsider, Li Tianchong, the people patrolling the camp did not report the information immediately.
"Zicheng is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt to talk." Zhang Jing waved his hand and motioned to the people patrolling the camp to tell them the information.
“Reporting to the Governor, after Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy of patrol, and Hu Zongxian, censor of Zhejiang patrol, left the government office yesterday, they went straight to Shaoxing. On the way, they went to the famous Fengxiang Jewelry House to purchase two pieces of jewelry. The deputy Xiaojinsuo was settled by Hu Zongxian. The two Deputy Xiao Jinsuo spent a total of sixty-eight taels of grain silver. When they arrived in Shaoxing, the two of them entered the Zhejiang governor's office in the name of congratulating Zhu Ping'an, the governor of Zhejiang, on the joy of making the tiles. About an hour later, Zhao Wenhua's confidant Zhao Si Carrying a memorial under the protection of more than ten experts After that, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian had lunch at the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen and did not leave until nearly half of the afternoon. When I walked out of the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen, I had a smile on my face. Smiling, before getting on the sedan, Zhao Wenhua patted Hu Zongxian on the shoulder, as if he was promising him something. Then Hu Zongxian bent down and cupped his fists to thank Zhao Wenhua."
The patrolman handed over his report, detailing everything. Let’s talk about the situation after Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian left.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and rest." Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction and motioned to the people patrolling the camp to go down and rest.
"No."
The man patrolling the camp clasped his fists and left.
Almost every move of Zhao Wenhua is under the surveillance of Zhang Jing. This patrol camp is just part of the surveillance network.
If Zhang Jing is willing, he can even know which dishes Zhao Wenhua ate for three meals a day and whether he got up at night.
"Zicheng, what do you think Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian want to do when they go to Zhu Ping'an?" Zhang Jing asked Li Tianchong.
"Master Zhu Ping'an and Zhu have just achieved a great victory in northern Zhejiang. Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian caught up at this juncture. They should have gone to Master Zhu Ping'an and planned a great victory in northern Zhejiang. Combined with the fact that Zhao Wenhua has been flaunting the governor above his head all day long, If nothing else, Zhao Wenhua must have gone to Mr. Zhu Ping'an in an attempt to shamelessly add the credit of his supervisor Zhao Wenhua to the great victory in northern Zhejiang."
Li Tianchong said without hesitation.
With one sentence, I immediately guessed the main purpose of Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian to find Zhu Pingan.
"Yes, I think so too." Zhang Jing nodded. What he was thinking was consistent with what Li Tianchong guessed.
" According to the report from the patrol camp, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian left the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen with smiles on their faces. I think they must have achieved their goals. Master Zhu Pingan and Zhu compromised with them. No one from the patrol camp There is no need to guess the memorial of opportunity exploration, it must be Zhao Wen After Hua achieved his goal, he was so anxious that he couldn't wait for a moment. He immediately drafted a memorial to report the great victory of his commander in northern Zhejiang. He was rushed 800 miles to send it to the capital for inspection. Bah, I have never seen it. A shameless person like Zhao Wenhua!”
Li Tianchong snorted and spat, his contempt for Zhao Wenhua's shamelessness beyond measure.
"The merit of the governor?! He deserves it! Look what he did when he came to Jiangnan. He either accepted bribes or asked for bribes. Even when he came to the governor to urge the troops to be sent, it was just a perfunctory urging. He and Hu Zongxian spent a lot of time eating, drinking, and eating. He never went to the military camp or raised any money. For a bucket of grain and grass, he had never visited the soldiers, investigated the Japanese affairs, measured the mountains and rivers, and visited all the restaurants and flower houses in the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as he saw that he could take credit, he was shameless! It's so shameless to get involved!"
Li Tianchong said angrily.
"You said he is a shameless person. A shameless person would not care about this." Zhang Jing also complained about Zhao Wenhua with disdain.
"The same goes for Mr. Zhu Ping'an. He obviously won the great victory in northern Zhejiang through hard work and bravery of fire and arrows. Why should he share the profits with Zhao Wenhua for his unwarranted military governorship, and get advantage of Zhao Wenhua in vain? Dog thief!" Li Tianchong shook his head and sighed.
