In the city of Nanjing, the residence of He Tengjiao, a scholar of Shoufu University and the Duke of Hubei Guo, is like the most famous tourist attraction in Nanjing.After He Tengjiao presided over the Ming Cabinet, he bought a lot of land in Nanjing, and continued to expand the original Xu Guogong Mansion, which was already very large, in addition to the imperial palace, his Huguo Mansion was the most conspicuous.He Tengjiao is not very greedy for money, he loves power more than money.Only half of the Ming Dynasty remains, and the internal chaos is not to say that it is dangerous, but at least it is also eventful.He Tengjiao is building a lot of buildings, obviously there are some things that are not in order, he himself knows it, and the reason why he is still like this is actually to show Emperor Longwu, which is to defile himself, leave a handle for the emperor, and let the emperor rest assured that he can use him.It's just that He Tengjiao didn't expect that this handle would be used so quickly.He Tengjiao's cabinet, which presided over the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty, failed to reduce the feudal domain internally, discussed and broke up with the north and the south, and implemented policies that all failed.Now there is another thing, the Xichuan Domain attacked Jingzhou and occupied the important town of Jingchu, which made Emperor Longwu extremely disappointed in He Tengjiao.Although Long Wu knew that He Tengjiao was loyal to him, but this person's ability was really worrying, and he didn't do anything about him, such a person, no matter how loyal he was, Long Wu would not dare to continue to reuse it.However, Long Wu soon discovered that He Ge Lao was not really incapable, at least he was very good at engaging his own people.Although Zhao Ming did not ask for the removal of He Tengjiao, Longwu had already made up his mind that for the sake of his country and his descendants, He Tengjiao could not be used, but when Longwu was ready to take away He Tengjiao's position as the first assistant scholar, he found that good guys, the entire Longwu court, from the inside to the outside, almost became a member of He Tengjiao's party.It turned out that the main battle faction in the court, unconsciously, had been squeezed out by He Tengjiao, the recall of the recall, the exile of the exile, several people had died inexplicably in Qiongzhou, and the old Chaohu Guang of the Longwu Dynasty had also been controlled by He Tengjiao's people.If the internal and external environment of the Ming Dynasty is stable, Longwu is confident that he will take He Tengjiao, but at this time it is an eventful autumn, which makes Longwu dare not make rash moves and throw a mouse bogey.I can't take He Tengjiao now, but Long Wu has a bad breath in his heart, but he can't swallow it, and finally finds a reason to reprimand He Tengjiao for being arrogant and lascivious, luxurious in his mansion, and unfavorable in doing things, so that he thinks about it behind closed doors.Recently, He Tengjiao's spirit has been tense, but with the Qing army stopping in Jiangbei and Zhao Ming returning to Jiangdong, the external threat of Nanjing was temporarily eliminated, and Emperor Longwu did not punish him heavily, which made He Tengjiao breathe a sigh of relief.At this time, in the mansion of the Duke of E, in the study, with a brazier, He Tengjiao was lying on the Taishi chair covered with a blanket, holding the stove in his hand, and was thinking with his eyes closed.He Tengjiao is very good at figuring out Longwu's thoughts, he can feel that Longwu is dissatisfied with him, and he is thinking in his heart about how to save the sacred heart.At this time, the doorman suddenly reported outside, "Elder Ge, Commander Ma asks to see!"
”He Tengjiao's thoughts were pulled back, and Jin Yiwei commanded Ma Jixiang, strictly speaking, he was not He Tengjiao's person.The commander of Jinyiwei does not need to be responsible for He Tengjiao, he only needs to obey the emperor's orders, and whether he can sit in that position also depends on the emperor's trust.Therefore, Ma Jixiang doesn't need to please anyone, he only needs to be loyal to the emperor, He Tengjiao can't give him a future, but he can give him money.The position of the commander of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guard is hated, usually there is no good ending, and he cannot hold this position for a long time, once he retires, there will be no good end, and he will definitely be found by the enemy.Therefore, He Tengjiao used gold and silver to win over, and after adding Ma Jixiang to find a backer for the future, he formed an alliance with He Tengjiao.Jinyiwei is the eyes and ears of the emperor, extremely well-informed, Ma Jixiang came to visit, He Tengjiao immediately sat upright, "Please Commander Ma come in!"
After a while, the study was opened, and Ma Jixiang strode in and gave a slight salute: "Ge Lao, Huguang is in a hurry!"
”Before He Tengjiao entered the cabinet, he was the governor of Huguang, and the land of Huguang can be said to be the base camp of He Tengjiao's party.The Xichuan soldiers forcibly occupied Jingzhou, which was a huge threat to the Longwu Dynasty, and the same was true for He Tengjiao.Hearing this, He Tengjiao frowned, "What do you say?"
”Ma Jixiang took out a strip from his sleeve and presented it to him, He Tengjiao looked at his expression, his heart tightened, and then he opened it to take a closer look, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.The spies planted by Jinyiwei inside Xichuan came back with news that Sun Kewang led more than 100,000 Xichuan soldiers out to wear, and it seemed that he had already planned something.He Tengjiao closed, his eyes narrowed, and he slowly sat down in the chair and fell into deep thought."
Ge Lao, this Sun Kewang won't fight at the beginning, so he won't be well-intentioned~" Ma Jixiang said the worry in his heart.He Tengjiao waved his hand, groaned for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have you reported this news?"
”Ma Jixiang said: "The Xichuan soldiers forcibly occupied Jingzhou, it is said that it was caused by Governor Fu's deduction of money and grain, I learned that Sun Kewang increased his troops, and it is expected that this must be used as a reason, so I will notify the elder of the pavilion first, so that the elder of the pavilion can prepare early!"
”He Tengjiao bowed slightly, and asked again: "What is the reaction of the imperial court?"
”"Your Majesty, I am anxious about the Xichuan soldiers occupying Jingzhou, and I have ordered Zhang and Yang, two scholars, to deal with this matter!"
Ma Jixiang said: "It is said that the two scholars are ready to send envoys and borrow money and grain from Jiangxi to appease the Xichuan soldiers!"
”Hearing this, He Tengjiao showed a sneer on his face, and said to Ma Jixiang: "Commander Ma, you didn't tell the court and the emperor the news first, that's right!"
”Sun Kewang actually led more than 100,000 troops out of Sichuan, and the plan must be very big, and Zhang Tongchang and Yang Wencong did not know that Sun Kewang's army went out of Sichuan, so they must have miscalculated the strength of Jingzhou's Xichuan soldiers, and the conditions given must not be able to meet Sun Kewang, and appeasement can only fail.Longwu wants to reuse Zhang Tongchang and Yang Wencong to replace He Tengjiao, because he feels that He Tengjiao is not in a good position, as long as Zhang Tongchang and Yang Wencong also mess up the things that Longwu explained, then He Tengjiao will have a chance to regain his favor.He Tengjiao immediately said: "This news, Commander Ma will press it and report it in a few days." ”Ma Jixiang didn't know the bottom in his heart, "Ge Lao, Sun Kewang more than 100,000 people will go out of Sichuan, this is a big deal."
If you don't inform the imperial court immediately and get ready, in case you ......"
He Tengjiao waved his hand and interrupted his words, "You don't have to worry about this, this pavilion will send a letter to Fu Shangrui and ask him to mobilize troops and horses to take precautions in advance."
Once Zhang Tongchang and Yang Wencong failed to appease, it was time for the cabinet to clean up the mess.As long as this cabinet does this well, it should be able to redeem His Majesty's Sacred Heart!
”When Ma Jixiang heard He Tengjiao say this, he had a little bottom in his heart, and couldn't help nodding frequently: "What the elder said is extremely true!"
”Ma Jixiang understood He Tengjiao's plan, and couldn't help but admire a little, looking at He Ge Lao, he was really as stable as Mount Tai, and he was not surprised, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Ge Lao, since this is the case, then I will ......do it according to the will of the Ge Lao" After speaking, Ma Jixiang said goodbye and left, He Tengjiao did not keep him, only nodded, and when he walked on the front foot, He Tengjiao's expression immediately gradually became gloomy.He Tengjiao immediately picked up the pen, wrote down a secret letter, and then asked someone to send it to Huguang quickly.()
