The street is not a place to talk, and under Chu Yan's kind invitation, Xia Yuanji had no choice but to move to the yamen of the political envoy. otbnkotgt Shandong Sanxian came forward to entertain together, giving Xia Yuanji enough face.
Although the old gentleman is not famous, he also feels very comfortable, and happily agrees to stay in Jinan for a few more days and discuss the future of Shandong with them.
What made Xia Yuanji a little strange was that in addition to Chu Yan, the political envoy, there were Wei Yuan and Erhei who were ready to discuss with him.
It is said that each of the three constitutions is in charge of its own affairs, and it should be very taboo for others to interfere in their own sphere of authority.
Therefore, Xia Yuanji was a little worried, whether Chu Yan was too weak and was suppressed by the envoy and the capital.
In the evening, taking advantage of the absence of others, Xia Yuanji vaguely raised this question, but Chu Yan laughed: "Thank you for your care, it's just that on our side, there is no such thing as the door elsewhere, and everyone will discuss and do it together."
After a pause, he said: "A provincial government affairs, criminal names, and military affairs are already between you and me, and I have you, and the division is so clear, I can only do nothing." ” "That's right" Xia Yuanji asked in surprise, "Won't there be a problem?"
"How can there be a problem" Chu Yan laughed and said: "Whoever dares to mess around, I'm not afraid that Zhenguo Gong will pick his skin" "Also, how did the old man forget this stubble" Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "With the presence of the Zhenguo Gong, everything is possible." ” "It's not all because of my grandfather, we are all sinners in the province, and we are satisfied with the current situation.
Where is there still the heart to fight for power and profit" Chu Yan sighed and said.
"Really" Xia Yuanji also sighed, Chu Yan said the truth, the officials in Shandong Province all relied on Wang Xiancai to save their lives.
At that time, Emperor Yongle allowed Shandong to be smashed and shattered, which was to save the idea of replacing all the officials in a province.
Later, the White Lotus Sect rebelled, and the King of Han died in Shandong, Zhu Di was furious, and the Shandong officials were sent down from the political envoys down, and the will to kill all the heads had been prepared If it weren't for Wang Xian's insistence on entering Beijing to fight with Emperor Yongle despite everyone's opposition, and miraculously laughing to the end, the grass on the graves of these officials in Shandong would have been one foot high However, the Shandong officials also know very well that they have been put into a separate register, and once they leave Shandong, they will be ostracized and even hostile by other officials.
Because they have been classified as Wang Xian's party, and Wang Xian is a traitor and traitor on the same level as Cao Cao and Huo Guang Although Wang Xian has not done anything out of the ordinary in the past three years, and it can even be said that he has followed the rules and been silent, but the attacks on him by public opinion are getting stronger day by day.
Wang Xian's murder of the dragon son and grandson, and even the murder of the first emperor, was originally a secret limited to the highest level.
The current emperor has also privately warned that no one should talk about it, let alone leak it.
But how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, the news still spreads to the outside world, and it has become a secret known to the government and the opposition, and there are even dramas, scripts, and scripts that describe the grievances and hatreds of this Yongle in the last years, Wang Xian is no exception, and he appears in the image of a big white face, and he has to exaggerate the peachy relationship between him and Xu Miaojin For this reason, Jinyiwei has been severely cracked down for a while, and the emperor has also issued an order to strictly prohibit the spread of these dramas and scripts, but the mouth of the people is more important than the mouth of Sichuan, how can it block the mouths of the people, not to mention, this kind of party is still alive in the court secrets, palace secrets, has always been from the top officials and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, all love to death Moreover, except for Shandong, officials in various provinces have violated this ban of the imperial court, and some officials even openly let the opera troupe stage this kind of drama in the yamen.
The government itself is adding fuel to the fire, how can they be expected Wang Xian to put out the fire Year after year, Wang Xian's image has been blackened, and even officials call him Wang Mengde behind his back, and some people say that his cousin Zhongde is the sum of Sima Zhongda and Cao Mengde's cousins, and he himself is also a combination of these two traitorous ministers Even Emperor Hongxi, who has been unswervingly supporting Wang Xian, has also eaten a lot of hanging.
People say that the Son of Heaven is good at everything, but he doesn't know people and attaches too much importance to feelings, and a traitor like Wang Xian, even if he has some small achievements in the past, the emperor should also focus on the overall situation, get rid of it as soon as possible, instead of listening to and believing like now, and hand over the country's military power to him Even the officials even made it clear in the recital that the Son of Heaven is now hanging a sword on his head, but he is sleeping soundly, and he will lose his head one day if he can't keep it, and as for the story of the Zhongshan wolf, I don't know if it has been repeatedly mentioned hundreds of times At the same time, another theory is also very loud, saying that because Wang Xian controls the military power and the Jinyi Guard, the emperor does not dare to touch him at all, so he can only let him go, and even have to say something against his will to defend him, so as not to jump off the wall in a hurry.
This kind of statement is very marketable among those who are not deeply involved in the world, and in the eyes of these guys who have broken their heads in reading, the emperor and the traitor are naturally incompatible with good and evil, and now the emperor is defending the traitor, and he must be forced by the traitor Therefore, from time to time, scholars would rush to the door of the Duke's Mansion or the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, shouting slogans asking the Duke of Zhenguo to return military power to the lord.
Although this kind of thing does not happen often, the impact is extremely bad, and Wang Xian has become a public enemy of scholars and civil officials in the world Speaking of which, even an old guy like Xia Yuanji, who has been known for many years, is unwilling to have anything to do with Wang Xian, even if he doesn't think about himself, his children and grandchildren still have to.
So Xia Yuanji was in Texas, and as soon as his identity was revealed, he left quickly, and he didn't make a noise when he arrived in Jinan, not wanting Wang Xian's people to know that he had arrived.
However, after all, he has been buried in the loess to his neck, and he is too interested in the economic miracle of Shandong Sheng, so after being found by Chu Yan, he doesn't care so much.
After all, Shandong is still the emperor's territory, and the officials in Shandong are still the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. 。
Xia Yuanji put aside his worries and had an in-depth discussion with Shandong officials for several days, gaining a deeper understanding of the changes in Shandong and a preliminary understanding of the reasons for all this.
Xia Yuanji originally thought that all this was the ability of Shandong officials, and it had little to do with the Zhenguo Gong who was far away in the capital.
After all, Wang Xian has always given people the impression that he is a terrifying spy leader, a cunning conspirator, and a very good way of leading troops to fight.
As for civil affairs, it is a blank, after all, since Wang Xian's debut, he has not been a local parent official for a day, nor has he served in the Yamen of the Six Ministries, so people take it for granted that he is a layman in governing the country It is also human nature to have this kind of understanding, after all, Wang Xian is already wise, close to demons, and powerful to the point of perversion, if he is a positive character, people will naturally think that he is omnipotent.
But Wang Xian is now the villain of Tianzi No. 1, and people will think of him in the worst way, hoping that he is an idiot in some way.
As if that would make him seem less scary and easier to defeat him.
However, the brutal truth is that the positive characters are often not as good as people think, and the negative characters are often far more powerful than people think Wang Xian is a living example Xia Yuanji knew that the solution to deflation that he had thought of a few years ago had been thought of by Wang Xian a few years ago, and he had put it into practice perfectly The method of establishing a provincial-level bank, redeeming silver bills, and realizing free exchange throughout the province, as well as a whole set of implementation rules, were all thought up by Wang Xian alone Wang Xian also tailored different exhibition plans for each province according to the different conditions of each prefecture, and in the past few years, each prefecture has made great progress in the leading areas of Jinan, Jining, Jiaozhou, and Dengzhou, which can already be at eye level with the cities in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the rest of the places where there were too many debts, abject poverty has also been basically eliminated, and the common people basically have surplus food at home, and they do not panic in the famine years, and the number of children who go to school is more than ten times that of the original, and it is important to know that the people who can afford to study in this era are all families above the rich peasant level, and this can be regarded as the most direct indicator of the degree of prosperity in the region Wang Xian also persuaded farmers and mulberry at the same time, vigorously developed industry and commerce, and invested heavily in building bridges and paving roads, and rebuilt and improved the dilapidated and disrepaired official roads in Shandong since the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
It greatly promoted the circulation of goods in the province and naturally brought about the prosperity of commerce, and the scenes of Dezhou and Jinan that Xia Yuanji saw were the best embodiment of this prosperity.
Moreover, Wang Xian also transferred all the ships of Zheng He's naval division to Shandong, Zheng He saw that his whereabouts were unknown, and the imperial court was determined not to return to the Western Ocean, and the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty were all decided by Wang Xian, and he transferred Zheng He's fleet to Shandong naturally.
Contrary to what those who were hostile to him said, Wang Xian did not want to rebel with Zheng He's sailors, but used these huge ships to do business with Korea, Japan, and the South Seas, selling Chinese products overseas, and bringing back ships of gold, silver, precious stones, and spices And wait, wait, wait, the more Xia Yuanji understood, the more shocked he became.
He is now, Wang Xian's ability to govern the country is not inferior to his ability to engage in conspiracy, thinking of Wang Xian back then, Xia Yuanji sighed, if he hadn't been involved in the battle for succession early, he was forced to interrupt his career and start spy work, Wang Xian should have been in the ranks of civil officials, showing his talent If that's the case, maybe today's cabinet assistant is not Yang Shiqi, but he Wang Zhongde Xia Yuanji believes that if that is the case, the Ming Dynasty will not fall into today's quagmire and be stagnant.
Xia Yuanji is not denying Yang Shiqi, in fact, he thinks that Yang Shiqi is a once-in-a-century genius, but it's a pity that Wang Xian is a once-in-a-millennium demon Yang Shiqi can save the country from danger, but Wang Xian is the one who can lead the Ming Dynasty to reshape the Han and Tang dynasties and reach unprecedented heights It's a pity that creation makes people, everything can't be done again, Wang Xian will never be able to govern the world, this is his personal regret, and it is the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty:
