Seeing Liu Guoneng overjoyed, Sun Chuanting was actually happy in his heart.
Hidden among the government and the public, he suddenly became a frontier official who commanded the military and political power of a country.
How many people in the world can do this?
In the original history, if we exclude the late period of the dynasty, that is, except for the late Chongzhen period, promotions like this were indeed very rare, and it is natural for Sun Chuanting to be proud.
What's more, he understood that Liu Guoneng's transfer to the south was for his use and would help him guard the place.
Liu Guoneng wanted to hug his thigh, so he wanted to use him as an eagle's talon.
The interests of the two people lay, and they immediately talked happily.
After a while, Sun Chuanting stood up and said: "You have a lot of things to do, select elites, and make handovers with the White Army.
After that, you have to go to Beijing with me to face the Holy Spirit."
The smile on Liu Guoneng's face never broke, and he repeatedly expressed that he would do his best, so Sun Zhongcheng could rest assured.
After Sun Chuanting left Liu Guoneng's camp, he went to visit Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou also learned about the imperial decree from Lu Ruipeng.
When he heard about Sun Chuanting's arrival, he immediately went out in casual clothes to welcome him at the door.
He smiled and said with cupped hands: "There are magpies chirping on the branches.
It turns out that Boya is visiting.
Please come in, please come in."
Sun Chuanting still had a good impression of Hong Chengchou.
Not to mention his abilities, Sun Chuanting was still a white person, but Hong Chengchou still treated him with a smile and sincerity even when he was in a high position.
This is especially rare in the officialdom where flattery leads to advancement and adds insult to injury when retreating.
Therefore, in response to Hong Chengchou's invitation, Sun Chuanting rarely showed a smile on his dead face.
He also held up his hands and said: "I heard that Hong Zhongcheng is about to return to Yansui, and Boya came to see him off."
Hong Chengchou smiled and stretched out his hand, asking Sun Chuanting to follow him inside and said: "Don't go out to see anyone.
Boya is also a governor now.
We can meet in private without involving official matters.
It's also a good idea."
Having said this, he turned around and ordered the guard who was following him: "Come on, let's have some wine at the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
I want to get drunk with Boya before we stop."
When the guards heard this, they immediately bowed to accept the order and immediately went to set up the banquet.
Hong Chengchou turned around, smiled at Sun Chuanting and said: "Now that the plum trees are blooming at the right time, it is an elegant thing for us to cook wine and enjoy the plum blossoms."
Sun Chuanting responded with a smile and did not object.
Under the guidance of Hong Chengchou, when we turned through several corridors and entered a courtyard, we saw that the courtyard was full of elm plum trees.
Almost all of these unique plum blossoms in Shanxi were in full bloom.
In a sea of flowers, smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms makes people feel relaxed and happy, and makes them feel a little better.
In the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, the guards arrived first and had already set up a banquet.
In fact, there was only room for two people.
Hong Chengchou invited Sun Chuanting to sit down, and asked them to go down without being served by guards.
After they went down, he cooked and poured the wine himself.
The two parties had a good time drinking, tasting wine, admiring the plum blossoms, and telling some interesting stories about plum blossoms.
In ancient times, most people drank yellow rice wine, which was boiled and scalded.
The wine was not strong at first, but it had great staying power, and it gradually became apparent to the two of them.
No, after drinking for three rounds, Hong Chengchou put down his wine glass and said with some emotion: "Bo Ya, in terms of age, we were born in the same year.
And I was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, and you were in the 47th year of Wanli.
The difference between our two years as Jinshi is only three years, and now we are both governors of the same country less than half a year before and after.
It is all fate."
However, there is a difference after all.

After Hong Chengchou became a Jinshi, he was careful and careful all the way.
While working as an official, he also focused on improving official relations.
Therefore, he was promoted all the way and finally became the governor of Yansui.
After Sun Chuanting became a Jinshi, although he was very capable, he was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships and his temper was a bit violent.
As a result, he resigned and returned to his hometown during the Tianqi period.
Now he caught up with Hong Chengchou's official position by relying on the thieves who came to his door and risking his life. .
It can be said that Hong Chengchou followed the official path, but Sun Chuanting took the wrong path.
It turns out that two famous civil servants in history came to the political stage of the Ming Dynasty in different ways in the first ten days of the third year of Chongzhen.
At this time, Sun Chuanting felt proud when he heard Hong Chengchou's emotion.
He also put down his wine glass, looked at Hong Chengchou and said arrogantly: "There are many people in this world who do great things but cherish their lives, and forget their lives when they see small profits.
Only you and me, both of whom have real talents and learning, will be the pillars of the country."
We can join the cabinet together to assist the administration.”
As soon as he heard this, Hong Chengchou sobered up.
He was not as indifferent as Sun Chuanting said.
He quickly smiled and waved his hands and said: "Bo Ya exaggerated, how could it be possible in this world?"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Chuanting interrupted him with a serious look on his face: "How can you exaggerate?"
After finishing speaking, he pointed at Hong Chengchou and said: "Let's talk about Hengjiu.
The thieves Zuo Gua and Miao Mei led their troops to attack Hancheng.
The governors on the three sides were panicked.
Only Hengjiu only participated in politics, but he could lead the servants.
He defeated the rebel army and lifted the siege of Hancheng.
With such courage and insight, no one else can hold the position of governor of Yansui, but Heng Jiuye."
This was a proud thing in Hong Chengchou's heart.
It was through this achievement that he rose to fame and finally got the position of governor of Yansui.
He heard Sun Chuanting praising him for this matter.
Although he was happy, he still wanted to humble himself.
However, Sun Chuanting did not give him a chance to speak, and pointed at himself and said: "Thieves from the Qin and Jin Dynasties raided our Dai County.
The county magistrate was in panic all day long.
If it weren't for Sun, Dai County would have been defeated.
That rat Wu Xiang, you are precious I am the Count of the Ming Dynasty, He was still the general of Datong, he had a lot of troops, but he only had the guts of a rat.
He didn't dare to fight in front of the battle, and even before the battle was defeated, Sun Mou had the courage to sneak out with 300 soldiers in the middle of the night to defeat the bandits.
If you look at it, you will see it as a chicken or a dog.”
When Hong Chengchou heard this, he showed approval and nodded repeatedly, but he knew in his heart that Sun Chuanting had drunk too much.
"Hengjiu, tell me, who else in the Ming Dynasty can have the courage of you and me to realize that what Sun said before is true?"
Sun Chuanting said this, picked up the wine glass again, and drank it all.
Immediately afterwards, he put down the wine glass, and a wine burp came up.
He suddenly became heroic and said again: "It will be a matter of time before you and I join the cabinet to assist the government."
Hong Chengchou was a little afraid to pour wine for Sun Chuanting.
When he went to get the wine glass, he saw that there was still some wine.
When Sun Chuanting was not paying attention, he poured it to his side under the table.
Then he said with a smile: "I had a great time drinking with Boya today.
In a blink of an eye, another pot was poured down.
Haha, the mood is over, but it’s almost done.”
After he finished speaking, he put down the wine bottle and shouted to the guard standing at the entrance of the courtyard: "Come here, serve the hangover soup."
But Sun Chuanting didn't give up and wanted to drink more.

However, Hong Chengchou diverted his attention with words: "Bo Ya, there is still one person in the Ming Dynasty who is an outlier.
It is impossible to say that he will be able to join the cabinet before you and me in the future, but he is convinced by it
