Chapter 469: Kneel and beg

After a cold rain, the cold plum blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River bloomed. The officials at Xiaguan Wharf lined up in an orderly manner, trembling in the wind of the river.

Shi Kefa in the crowd had a gloomy face. In the latest newspaper, Chen Sihua asked to resign from the position of Prime Minister of Suppression of the thieves. His Majesty was approved and appointed him as the governor of the three provinces of Liaodong, Shandong and Jiangnan to innovate the financial and tax system of the Ming Dynasty and implement the advisory bureau system. These three provinces were used as pilot projects and named as the special administrative region.

There is also a conversation between Chen Xie and the emperor in the diary, which means that Zhu Youjian tried to keep Chen Xie in the capital cabinet. Chen Xie politely declined. He also suggested that the cabinet ministers should have experience in serving at all levels of foreign officials in their resumes, and at the same time, the experience of Hanlin should be given priority. In other words, civil officials should be like cabinets, and a prerequisite is that no matter how beautiful your resume is, you have to start from the seventh-rank county magistrate and then step by step to the governor. Without such an experience, they will be eliminated in the competition.

This suggestion caused an uproar and court officials were talking. After reading the news from the di newspaper, Shi Kefa immediately reported to the capital, insisting that Chen Xie was "disrupting the government". While attacking Chen Xie's chaos, Shi Kefa did not forget to attack the chief assistant Zhou Yanru, believing that his act of using Ma Shiying, who was waiting for crime, was also disorderly political.

After the expiration of his father-in-law, Shi Kefa did not return to the canal transportation like in history. The general manager of the canal transportation was Zhu Dadian. Moreover, the areas that could be managed were limited to Yangzhou, Huaian and other places. He had nothing to do when entering Shandong. Shi Kefa did not attack the canal fees. The court was too short of money.

The news came from the Governor of the Three Provinces. As the Censor of Jiangnan, Shi Kefa submitted another memorial, asking Zhu Youjian to take back his order and not to make any special zones. The current situation of the court is to maintain stability. This memorial was to sink into the sea. Lu Daqi from the capital wrote to him that His Majesty was very dissatisfied with this memorial. He told a group of cabinet ministers that the northwest is still suppressing thieves, and disaster victims in various provinces need relief. The court is right when using money. Some people do not mention solutions to the problem, but they specifically look for trouble that can solve problems. Such a person can only be a censor. If he really wants to do something practical, he will definitely achieve nothing.

This sentence is not named, but the direction is very obvious. How do Shi Kefa say it? It is a mixture of straightness and pedanticism. This is. "History of Nanming" has a low evaluation of him, especially when it comes to supporting him. Historians' evaluation of him can be said to be very low.

Because he impeached Chen Xie, everyone felt that Shi Kefa was in trouble, so he stood there alone at this time. Everyone kept a distance. Shi Kefa didn't care. He was a person who believed in the truth. He had a high moral integrity index but could not do things. Such people were still very good at being censors, and anyone dared to impeach. But then again, you have to see what he impeached.

Governor Yingtian Zhu Dadian is considered an old acquaintance of Chen Xie. Why? There is really not much intersection between the two. When Zhu Dadian was the governor of Denglai, he had no contact with Chen Xie except for money. This time, Chen Xie refused to stay in the capital, but came to Jiangnan, which really made people confused. Zhu Dadian didn't understand either, either, because he was entering the cabinet. Before, Chen Xie was named a Grand Secretary, but actually had no work in the cabinet.

The pattern of suppressing bandits in the northwest is basically very stable now. After Li Zicheng was destroyed, various armies led their troops to the west, and Dengzhou camp stayed in Henan and Huguang. On the one hand, they continued to stabilize the local area, provide relief to the people, and immigrated in large numbers. On the other hand, Dengzhou camp stayed in various places in this chain, and he would not come even if he invited Zhang Xianzhong to come. So Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other thieves have been wandering around Shaanxi and Sichuan. Shaanxi can only walk around in the Hannan area, and further into the deeper, Sun Chuanting and Qin army are not vegetarians. The same is true in Sichuan. Qin Liangyu and Qin Yiming blocked the road to Sichuan. The road to Sichuan is difficult, so this is not a random saying. In this time and space, Zhang Xianzhong was not convinced and went deeper into Sichuan, and just wandered around the area at the junction of the two provinces.

In the past, Zhang Xianzhong's hard-working Zuo Liangyu was cut off. Now he has replaced four generals including He Renlong, who have been reorganized after the Xiangyang army. After destroying Li Zicheng, the four troops were trained again. Before winter came, they left Xiangyang and attacked the northwest bandits.

Under such a big situation, the chaos in the Ming Dynasty finally saw hope of pacification. If it was gradually suppressing the thieves, the fundamental problem would not be solved. The difficulty was that there was food to provide relief, which was the most critical solution.

Regarding Chen Xie's mobilization of a large amount of grain to provide relief, Zhu Youjian felt deeply that his son-in-law was loyal to the court. This was not 100,000 shi of grain, it was millions of grain. After learning that Chen Xie was providing relief in Henan and Huguang, when Zhu Youjian summoned Chen Xie in the capital, he proposed to use the three-year income of the Shandong Shipbuilding Department as collateral to exchange for one million shi of grain to provide relief to the victims in various places. Chen Xie agreed. In fact, Zhu Youjian knew very well that according to the eunuchs' reports, the income of three years, let alone million shi of grain, even the expenses of the four armies that Chen Xie raised for the emperor would not be enough.

After Chen Xie agreed, Shandong immediately took action. The ability of these two commercial institutions to explode with the joint business name and Dafa Money Bank was shocking. In just half a year, millions of stones of grain were shipped to Shanxi and Shanxi and handed over to Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, solving the big problem.

After staying in the capital for half a month, Zhu Youjian talked to Chen Xie every day, and repeatedly tried to keep Chen Xie in the capital. In the end, Chen Xie refused, and refused with a smile, "Your Majesty, I belong to the sea." Zhu Youjian could not understand, but did not force it. The changes that Chen Xie brought to the Ming Dynasty were subtly moved bit by bit, and it was really impossible to see for a while.

The official ship appeared and the flags were rising. Zhu Dadian ordered music and cannons to be played, and brought officials from Nanjing to greet him. The officials of the six ministries of Nanjing were also ready to welcome him.

On February 2, 15th year of Chongzhen, the Xiaguan Wharf was very lively. When they learned that Chen Xie had come to Jiangnan, the girls on the Qinhuai River came out in full swing and came to welcome Chen Xie. For these girls, Chen Xie was really special. If they hadn't seen the officials on the wharf and the Yingying Yanyan everywhere, who would have known that the Governor of the Three Provinces came?

The official boat was approaching, and the officials on the dock did not see Chen Xie, who should have been standing on the bow of the boat, and it was a bit surprised. Could it be that Chen Xie was so rude? There are six ministries in Nanjing, and they really looked down on everyone so much?

The atmosphere of Pier Mountain became a bit dull because of Chen Xie's uniqueness. When the pedal was put down on the boat, everyone looked at the boat with a dark face. They didn't want a graceful woman to come out. Looking at her dress, everyone knew who was coming. Princess Kunxing, this family is the only one, and there is no other semicolon.

The officials bowed and saw the princess. After seeing it, Zhu Dadian stepped forward and said, "Princess, why didn't you see Lord Sihua?" Zhu Dashi, who stepped off the boat, frowned and said, "Why, did you have arrived in Jiangnan long ago? He took the land route, fast horses and light cavalry, and said that it was important to deal with it. It should have arrived ten days ago."

As the governor of the three provinces, on the first day of taking office, everyone knew that this guy had arrived in Jiangnan ten days ago, and he suddenly felt nervous. Is this the rhythm of a private visit? What tricks do you want to play? Those who have ghosts in their hearts immediately became nervous. Who is Chen Xie? When he led the troops to fight, he chopped off Zuo Liangyu and his subordinates in one breath, a murderous devil king with 20,000 subordinates.

What if this guy found something in a private visit, how many people's heads were moving? Many people's necks chilled!

The atmosphere on the dock became colder. The girls didn't see Chen Xie and they scattered quickly. The officials wanted to send the princess, but they were not happy. They had a carriage waiting on the dock and took their people to Chen Xie's house in Nanjing. This house was bought by someone themselves and was arranged a month ago.

In Suzhou, in the cold wind and rain, a sedan chair hurried to the door of a house in Suzhou City. After the maid who accompanied him paid a message on the ground, the actual manager Cui Xin came out. As the actual manager of the textile factory in Suzhou, Cui Xin actually played the role of the doorman, which scared the maid. The people in the sedan chair were also shocked, and then a hint of glory appeared.

"Come in the sedan chair!" Cui Xin's expression was very cold and his voice was very rude. But he didn't have the time to care about it. When he came to ask for help, he could not say anything about face.

The sedan chair was lifted to the door of the owner's yard before stopping. Zhou Xiuying repeatedly warned herself to be calm and to lower her head to be small, and to protect the little business of the Shen family in Suzhou. After taking a deep breath, Zhou Xiuying saw Han Shan standing at the door, which was like a javelin, and immediately knew that the news today was correct. He was indeed coming to Suzhou.

"Come with me." Han Shan could not hear any emotional color in his words, and Zhou Xiuying said lightly: "I'm working!"

Sandalwood was lit in the study, charcoal stove was burned, and after taking off the cloak, a warm feeling came from all sides. In front of the huge desk, the morning light, standing with his hands behind his back, nodded at her with a faint smile on his face and said, "How did you know I'm here in Suzhou?"

Zhou Xiuying stepped forward and said, "I should have known about some things for a long time, but unfortunately, I knew it too late."

Chen Xie smiled, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down and say, you're a guest when you come." Just as Chen Xie finished sitting down, Zhou Xiuying knelt down straight and said, "I beg you to let the Shen family go!"

The smile on Chen Xie's face gradually faded. He changed into a cold face and looked at her slowly, without saying anything to help her up. This woman is thirty years old, right? It is said that she still has no children and has been in charge of the matter of the Shen family. Speaking of the rapid decline of the Shen family over the years, her responsibility is really quite large. In fact, even if someone else comes to control the Shen family, if she is willing to give up her vested interests, she will still be crushed by absolute strength.
