The rise of the poor

Chapter 1670 Hu Zongxian's Choice
The days were short and the nights were long in winter, and it was getting dark quickly. Zhu Pingan bid farewell to Zhao Wenhua, and when he left the imperial envoy's office, it was already the top of willows on the moon.

"My lord, Zhao didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Liu Dadao and the others had been waiting outside the yamen. Seeing Zhu Ping'an come out, Liu Dadao and the others hurriedly led their horses to meet him, and asked with concern.

They knew that Zhao Wenhua was a big figure in the Yan Party. In the capital, the young master offended the Yan Party when he helped Zhuangzi to avenge their grievances. Then he helped Yang Jisheng revise the memorial to impeach Yan Song in the capital, which completely offended the Yan Party. Luckily, the magistrate is talented, worked hard in Jingnan, and made great achievements in destroying the Japanese army, so he was promoted again, but now Zhao Wenhua is here again, and they are worried about Zhao Wenhua's trouble finding Zhu Ping'an.

When they learned that Zhu Ping'an was left alone by Zhao Wenhua after the banquet, they became even more worried.

At this moment, seeing that Zhu Ping'an came out intact, they were slightly relieved.

"It's okay, we've already negotiated, and there won't be any big troubles in the future. It's hard for you to wait outside for so long. Let's go back to the Yamen and let's eat mutton in a pot to warm up."

"Let's go, let's eat mutton..."

Zhu Pingan got on his horse, and a group of people smiled and rode their horses towards the office of the procurator.

After Zhu Ping'an and his party disappeared in the street, a person walked out of a small alley, looking at the back of Zhu Ping'an and his party as they left.

It was Hu Zongxian.

He had already been nearby, but knowing that Zhu Ping'an was left in the imperial envoy's office, he waited in this alley until Zhu Ping'an left the imperial envoy's office, and then he came out of the alley quietly.

His visit to Zhao Wenhua tonight was the most difficult decision in his life, and it was also the most important decision in his life, not one of them! Before the matter was completed, he didn't want anyone to know.If the negotiation is successful, it doesn't matter if people know about it; if the negotiation fails, it's best for no one to know.

After today's banquet was over, he returned to the mansion, locked himself in the study, thought hard, and struggled hard.

Now he is facing a life choice, a key choice that can determine his life!
In fact, it’s not him now, all Jiangnan officials are facing such a life choice! It’s just that this choice has not yet come, or it has come, but everyone has not realized it yet, but they will realize it sooner or later arrived.

The choice is whether to listen to Zhao Wenhua or Zhang Jing.

Before Zhao Wenhua's arrival, Jiangnan's military command showed that there were three people in charge, namely Zhang Jing, the governor of Jiangnan, Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang, and the inspector and supervisor of Zhejiang, that is, himself.As for Yingtian's guard eunuch and Yingtian's guard Wei Guogong, although they are high and powerful, they are all local officials of Yingtian, and they can't control other places other than Yingtian.

However, in fact, Zhang Jing alone has the final say on the military command in the south of the Yangtze River.Although my Zhejiang inspector and supervisory censor is a special dispatch of the Holy One, it is not enough compared to Zhang Jing, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, and my main responsibility is also biased towards the direction of supervision such as rectifying military discipline. , The experience of the main army, the resume is relatively weak, and the local officials also listen to Zhang Jing.

In addition, Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang Province, was also a special commissioner of the Holy Spirit. He supervised the military administration of Zhejiang Province, and his official position was higher than his own.

In addition, Zhang Jing once helped Li Tianchong, Li Tianchong respected Zhang Jing, and only Zhang Jing obeyed.

Therefore, in the military aspect of the entire Jiangnan, Zhang Jing is actually in charge, and one person has the final say.

That is to say, before Zhao Wenhua came, Jiangnan Military had only Zhang Jing with one brain.

However, after Zhao Wenhua came, things were different.

As soon as Zhao Wenhua came, Jiangnan's military command changed from three people to the governor of Jiangnan Zhang Jing, the imperial envoy Zhao Wenhua, the governor of the Zhejiang Army Li Tianchong, and himself.

If Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing get along harmoniously, thinking in the same way and exerting energy in the same way, it's nothing, it's just that the brain is strengthened, but the fact is that it's so wishful thinking.

I and Li Tianchong can listen to Zhang Jing, but can Zhao Wenhua listen to Zhang Jing honestly?
Zhao Wenhua is an imperial envoy with a higher official position than himself, and he is also a high-ranking member of the Yan Party, backed by Mr. Lige. their thoughts and plans.

If it is not bad, the Yan Party should want to get involved in military power.

Now the power of the strict party is spread all over the government and the public, and the people, punishment, labor, etiquette, officials, etc., that is, the military power is relatively weak.

Now that there are Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River, it is just a chance for the strict party to intervene in military power, and they will definitely not let it go.Because only Zhao Wenhua took over the military power in the south of the Yangtze River, the strict party can justifiably and obediently get involved in the military.

Therefore, Zhao Wenhua will definitely not listen to Zhang Jing, on the contrary, he will actively compete with Zhang Jing for the military power in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing are destined not to urinate in the same pot, they are not the same people, and fighting for power is inevitable.

Today, Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing got along well at the beginning, but it was just an illusion, and Zhang Jing left in the end, which is a clear proof of the breakup.It's just that most officials are still fantasizing about reconciliation, and they have seen the scene of Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing's breakup earlier than them.

Once Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Jing broke up, everyone would have to face the choice of standing with Zhang Jing or Zhao Wenhua.It's fine for the officials at the bottom, but for officials above the fifth rank, because of their status, it's hard for them not to stand in line.

Now that I stand in line early, I get the most benefits. One step ahead, step by step, whether it is buying a horse bone with a lot of money, or giving charcoal in a timely manner, my standing in line this time will definitely be set as an example.

As for whether Zhang Jing, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, or Zhao Wenhua, the imperial envoy, is in line, this is not a small problem.

It is not only related to whether his errands in Zhejiang can be handled well, but also related to his future life and career.

This is the most difficult and most important choice he has faced in his life, not one of them.

One is the imperial envoy sent by the Holy God to worship the sea and supervise the army, and the other is the military governor of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Which side of the team is the coexistence of benefits and risks, and which side is not the best choice.

Hidden behind Zhang Jing is an invisible party that has no party formation on the surface and is actually no different from party formation-Qingdang.If you stand in line with Zhang Jing, your reputation among scholars will greatly increase, and there is a high probability that you will be able to leave your name in the history books in the future. You will not be afraid of the strict party and dignitaries, but the price is that he will offend the strict party, and the strict party will control it. Taking the center of governance and offending the strict party means that in the future, you will stay away from the political center, and every word and deed will be caught by the strict party. Picking the bones in the egg, both open and dark forces will strike, and the road is doomed to be bumpy. However, the great ambitions of making contributions and eradicating Japanese pirates will also be exhausted in the midst of frustration...

Behind Zhao Wenhua stands the Yan Party. If Zhao Wenhua chooses Zhao Wenhua, it means that he will become a member of the Yan Party and be scolded by scholars. The evaluation in the history books will not be good, but he can get the support of Yan. Then obtain a stage for making contributions and displaying great ambitions.

This is a difficult choice.

Now, Hu Zongxian's appearance outside Zhao Wenhua's imperial envoy's office means that he has made his choice - stand by Zhao Wenhua!
