Rise From the Humble - Chapter 1670

  Chapter 1670 Hu Zongxian’s Choice

  Winter days are short and nights are long, and it is getting dark quickly. Zhu Pingan bid farewell to Zhao Wenhua.

   “My lord, the one surnamed Zhao didn’t make things difficult for you, right?”

  Liu Dadao and the others had been waiting outside the yamen. Seeing Zhu Ping’an come out, Liu Dadao and the others hurriedly led their horses to meet him, and asked with concern.

They knew that Zhao Wenhua was a big figure in the Yan Party. In the capital, the young master offended the Yan Party when he helped Zhuangzi to avenge their grievances. Then he helped Yang Jisheng revise the memorial to impeach Yan Song in the capital, which completely offended the Yan Party. Luckily, the magistrate is talented, worked hard in Jingnan, and made great achievements in destroying the Japanese army, so he was promoted again, but now Zhao Wenhua is here again, and they are worried about Zhao Wenhua’s trouble finding Zhu Ping’an.

  When they learned that Zhu Pingan was left alone by Zhao Wenhua after the banquet, they became even more worried.

  At this moment, seeing that Zhu Ping’an came out intact, they were slightly relieved.

   “It’s okay, we have already negotiated, and there will be no major troubles in the future. It has been hard for you to wait outside for so long. Let’s go back to Yamen and let’s eat mutton pot to warm up.”

   “Let’s go, let’s eat mutton…”

  Zhu Ping’an got on his horse, and a group of people laughed and rode their horses towards the gate of the procurator’s office.

  After Zhu Ping’an and his party disappeared in the street, a person walked out of a small alley, looking at the back of Zhu Ping’an and his party as they left.

   It is Hu Zongxian.

  He had already arrived nearby, but he knew that Zhu Ping’an was left in the imperial envoy’s office, so he waited in this alley until Zhu Ping’an left the imperial envoy’s office, and then he came out of the alley quietly.

  His visit to Zhao Wenhua tonight is the most difficult decision in his life, and it is also the most important decision in his life. No one! Before the matter is done, I don’t want anyone to know. If the negotiation is successful, it doesn’t matter if people know about it; if the negotiation fails, it’s best for no one to know.

  After today’s banquet was over, he returned to the mansion, locked himself in the study, thought hard, and struggled hard.

   Now he is facing a life choice, a key choice that can determine his life!

In fact, it’s not him now, all Jiangnan officials are facing such a life choice! It’s just that this choice has not yet come, or it has come, but everyone has not realized it yet, but they will realize it sooner or later arrived.

  The choice is whether to listen to Zhao Wenhua or Zhang Jing.

  Before Zhao Wenhua arrived, the military command in Jiangnan showed that there were three people in charge, namely Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan, Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang, and the inspector and supervisor of Zhejiang, that is, himself. As for Yingtian’s guard **** and Yingtian’s guard Wei Guogong, although they are high and powerful, they are all local officials of Yingtian, and they can’t control other places other than Yingtian.

  However, in fact, Zhang Jing alone has the final say on the military command in Jiangnan. Although my Zhejiang inspector and supervisory censor is a special dispatch of the Holy One, it is not enough compared to Zhang Jing, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and my main responsibility is also biased towards the direction of supervision such as rectifying military discipline. , The experience of the main army, the resume is relatively weak, and the local officials also listen to Zhang Jing.

  In addition, Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang Province, is also a special commissioner of the Holy Spirit. He supervises the military and administration of Zhejiang Province, and his official position is higher than his own. Even in the supervision of rectifying military discipline, officials are more inclined to listen to Li Tianchong.

   In addition, Zhang Jing once helped Li Tianchong, Li Tianchong admired Zhang Jing, and only Zhang Jing obeyed.

  So, the military aspect of the entire Jiangnan is actually decided by Zhang Jing, and one person has the final say.

   That is to say, before Zhao Wenhua came, the Jiangnan military had only Zhang Jing with one brain.

  However, after Zhao Wenhua came, things were different.

  As soon as Zhao Wenhua came, the Jiangnan military command changed from three people to the governor of Jiangnan Zhang Jing, the imperial envoy Zhao Wenhua, the governor of the Zhejiang Army Li Tianchong, and himself.

  If Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing get along harmoniously, thinking in the same way and exerting energy in the same way, it’s nothing, it’s just that the brain is strengthened, but the fact is that it’s wishful thinking.

  I and Li Tianchong can listen to Zhang Jing, but can Zhao Wenhua listen to Zhang Jing honestly?

Zhao Wenhua is an imperial envoy with a higher official position than himself, and he is also a high-ranking member of the Yan Party, backed by Mr. Lige. their thoughts and plans.

  If it is not bad, the strict party should want to get involved in military power.

  Now the power of the strict party spreads all over the government and the public, and the people, criminals, workers, rites, officials, etc., that is, the military power is relatively weak.

  Nowadays, the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River just gave the strict party an opportunity to intervene in military power, and they will definitely not let it go. Because only Zhao Wenhua took over the military power in the south of the Yangtze River, the strict party can justifiably and obediently get involved in the military.

   Therefore, Zhao Wenhua will definitely not listen to Zhang Jing, on the contrary, he will actively compete with Zhang Jing for the military power in the south of the Yangtze River.

  Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing are destined not to pee in the same pot, they are not the same people, and the struggle for power is inevitable.

  Today, Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing got along well at the beginning, but it was just an illusion. In the end, Zhang Jing walked away, which is a clear proof of the breakup. It’s just that most officials are still fantasizing about reconciliation, and they have seen the scene of Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing’s breakup earlier than them.

   Once Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing broke up, everyone would have to face the choice of standing with Zhang Jing or Zhao Wenhua. It’s fine for the officials at the bottom, but for officials above the fifth rank, because of their status, it’s hard for them not to stand in line.

   Now that I stand in line early, I get the most benefits. One step ahead, step by step, whether it is buying a horse bone with a lot of money, or giving charcoal in a timely manner, my standing in line this time will definitely be set as an example.

   As for whether to stand in line with Jiangnan governor Zhang Jing or imperial envoy Zhao Wenhua, this is not a small problem.

   It is not only related to whether his errands in Zhejiang can be handled well, but also related to his future life and career.

   This is the most difficult and most important choice he has faced in his life, not one of them.

  One is the imperial envoy sent by the Holy One to worship the sea and supervise the army, and the other is the military governor of the southern provinces.

  Which side of the team has both benefits and risks, and neither side is the best choice.

  Behind Zhang Jing is an invisible party—the Qing Party, which is actually indistinguishable from the fact that there is no party formation on the surface. If you stand in line with Zhang Jing, your reputation among scholars will greatly increase, and there is a high probability that you will be able to leave your name in the history books in the future. You will not be afraid of the strict party and dignitaries, but the price is that he will offend the strict party, and the strict party will control it. Taking the center of governance and offending the strict party means that in the future, you will stay away from the political center, and every word and deed will be caught by the strict party. Picking the bones in the egg, both open and dark forces will strike, and the road is doomed to be bumpy. However, the grand ambition of making contributions and eradicating Japanese pirates will also be wiped out in the midst of frustration…

Behind Zhao Wenhua stands the Yan Party. If Zhao Wenhua chooses Zhao Wenhua, it means that he will become a member of the Yan Party and be scolded by scholars. The evaluation in the history books will not be good, but he can get the support of Yan. Then obtain a stage for making contributions and displaying great ambitions.

   This is a difficult choice.

  Now, Hu Zongxian appears outside Zhao Wenhua’s imperial envoy, which means that he has made his choice—stand by Zhao Wenhua!
