Winter days were short and nights were long, and it got dark fast, so when Zhu Pingan took his leave of Zhao Wenhua and left from the Qin magistrate’s office, it was already moonrise over the willow.
“Gongzi, the surname Zhao didn’t make things difficult for you, did he.”
Liu Dazhu and the others had been waiting outside the government office, when they saw Zhu Pingan come out, Liu Dazhu and the others were busy leading their horses to welcome him and asked with concern.
They know that Zhao Wenhua is a big figure of the Yan Party, when in the capital, his son helped them to redress the grievances of the Zhuangzi offended the Yan Party, and then in the capital to help Yang Jisheng to modify the impeachment of Yan Song, completely offended the Yan Party, the Yan Party relegated to Daonan to do the county magistrate, the good thing in the son of the talented, in the Jingnan hard work, and the establishment of a Japanese military success, which is to be re-promoted, but now Zhao Wenhua again, they are afraid that Zhao Wenhua looking for trouble with Zhu Pingan. trouble.
When they learnt that Zhu Pingan was left alone by Zhao Wenhua after the banquet, they were even more worried.
At this moment, seeing that Zhu Pingan came out in one piece, they were slightly relieved in their hearts.
“It’s fine, it’s been dealt with, and there won’t be any major trouble in the future. It’s been hard for you guys to wait outside for so long, let’s go, let’s go back to the courthouse and have some shabu-shabu to warm up our bodies.”
“Let’s go, shabu-shabu and eat it ……”
Zhu Pingan rolled onto his horse, and the group laughed as they galloped towards the Tidings and Pressure Enforcement Department’s Yamen.
After Zhu Pingan and his party disappeared into the streets, a man came out of an alleyway and looked at the back of Zhu Pingan and his party as they left.
It was none other than Hu Zongxian.
He had been in the neighbourhood for a long time, only knowing that Zhu Pingan had been left at the Imperial Magistrate’s Yamen, he waited in this alleyway and waited until Zhu Pingan had left from the Imperial Magistrate’s Yamen before he came out of the alleyway silently.
His visit to Zhao Wenhua tonight was one of the hardest decisions he had ever made in his life, and one of the most important decisions in his life, bar none! Didn’t want anyone to know until it was done. If it came to fruition, there was no harm in being known;if it didn’t, then no one knowing was the best.
After today’s banquet, he returned to his mansion, locked himself in his study, and researched hard, struggling with his thoughts.
Now he is facing a life decision, a key decision that can determine his life!
In fact, now not only he, all the Jiangnan officials are facing such a life decision! Only, now this choice has not yet come, or has come, just everyone has not realised this, but they will sooner or later realise.
This choice was whether to listen to Zhao Wenhua or Zhang Jing.
Before the arrival of Zhao Wenhua, the military command of Jiangnan indicated that it was three people who were the masters, that is, Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan, Li Tianchou, the governor of Zhejiang, and the imperial inspector of Zhejiang, that is, himself. As for the Yingtian guardian eunuch as well as Yingtian guard Wei Guogong, although high-powered, but they are Yingtian local officials, can not control other places outside of Yingtian.
However, in reality, the military command of Jiangnan was decided by Zhang Jing alone. This Zhejiang inspector inspector, although the emperor assigned, but relative to Zhang Jing, the emperor of the special order of the governor of Jiangnan, or not enough to see, and their main duties are also biased in the direction of military discipline monitoring, no political, military experience, resume is relatively thin, a cadre of local officials are listening to the Zhang Jing.
In addition, the governor of Zhejiang Li Tianpiao, also sent by His Majesty, the supervision of the military and political affairs in Zhejiang, the official position is also higher than their own, that is, the rectification of military discipline of this kind of supervision, the officials are more inclined to listen to Li Tianpiao’s. In addition to this, Zhang Jing has helped to help the military and the military, but also to help the military.
In addition, Zhang Jing once helped Li Tiancang, Li Tiancang respect Zhang Jing, only Zhang Jing’s orders.
Therefore, the entire military aspect of Jiangnan was actually headed by Zhang Jing, a person who had the final say.
In other words, before Zhao Wenhua’s arrival, there was only one brain in Jiangnan’s military, Zhang Jing.
However, after Zhao Wenhua came, things were different.
Zhao Wenhua came, Jiangnan military command, explicitly from the three people in charge, into the Jiangnan Governor Zhang Jing, Zhao Wenhua, Zhejiang military governor Li Tiancang and their own four people in charge.
If Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing two people get along with each other, the heart to a think, the strength to a make, but also nothing, will only be the brain strengthened only, but the fact will be so wishful thinking.
I and Li Tianpang can listen to Zhang Jing, but Zhao Wenhua can honestly listen to Zhang Jing?
Zhao Wenhua is the imperial commissioner, the official position than their own high, but also the Yan Party senior, behind the back of the Li Ge Lao support, he can willingly by Zhang Jing to do the Lord, and to Hu Zongxian’s own considerations, the Yan Party at this time will be pushed to the Jiangnan Zhao Wenhua, surely there are their ideas and intentions.
If the expectation is not wrong, the Yan Party should be trying to get their hands on military power.
Now, the Yan Party’s power is spread all over the countryside, in the areas of civil affairs, criminal affairs, labour, rituals, and officials, which means that the power in military affairs is relatively weak.
Now that Jiangnan is in trouble with the Japanese, it just gives the Yan Party a chance to meddle in military power, and they definitely won’t let it go. Because only Zhao Wenhua ingested the military power in Jiangnan, Yan Party only bear the name and comply with the dyeing of the military.
Therefore, Zhao Wenhua would definitely not listen to Zhang Jing, and on the contrary, he would actively compete with Zhang Jing for the military power in Jiangnan.
Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing are not destined to piss in the same pot, the two are not all the way people, the struggle for power is inevitable.
Today, Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing began to get along with the harmony is just a false appearance, and finally Zhang Jing whisked his sleeve away, is a clear evidence of the break. It’s just that most of the officials are still fantasising about the harmony of the generals, and they saw the scene of Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing’s break-up earlier than they did.
Once Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing have broken up, everyone will have to face the decision of whether to stand for Zhang Jing or Zhao Wenhua. The officials at the bottom of the hierarchy were not so bad, but the officials above the fifth grade, due to their status, it was difficult not to stand in line.
Now they stand in line early, the gain is also the biggest, one step first, step first, whether it is a thousand gold to buy a horse bone, or snow in the charcoal, their own this time to stand in line, will inevitably be set as an example.
As for the team Jiangnan Governor Zhang Jing, or team Zhao Wenhua, this is not a small problem.
It was not only related to whether he could do well in his duty of inspecting Zhejiang, but also related to how he would go on in his future life and career.
This is the most difficult and most important choice he faced in his life, no one.
One is the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to sacrifice the sea and supervise the army, and the other is the military governor of Jiangnan provinces.
Whichever side you stand on is both rewarding and risky, and whichever side you stand on is not the best choice.
Behind Zhang Jing, there was an invisible party, the Qing Party, which was not a party but was actually no different from a party. If he sided with Zhang Jing, his reputation among the scholars would be greatly increased, and in the future, he would be able to stay in the history books, and he would not be afraid of the famous scholars and so on, but the price was that he would offend the Yan Party, which controlled the centre of governance, and offending the Yan Party meant that he would be far away from the centre of politics in the future, and his words and actions would be seized by the Yan Party, and he would be picked on by the Yan Party, and he would be attacked by the open and dark guns, and he would be doomed to a bumpy path. The ambition to build a career and wipe out the Japanese invaders will be wiped out in the wasted time. ……
Zhao Wenhua stands behind the Yan Party, if you choose Zhao Wenhua, it means that you will have to break your brow and bend down to serve the rich and powerful, and become a member of the Yan Party, which will be scorned by the scholarly community, and will not be well evaluated by the history books, but it is possible to obtain the support of the Yan Reliance to get the chance to build and build a career and to display the stage of the ambition. The stage of ambition.
This is a difficult choice.
Now, Hu Zongxian appeared outside Zhao Wenhua’s government office, meaning that he has made his choice – to stand up to Zhao Wenhua!
