Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty First Inspector Candidates
Seeing that Shen Yang actually advocated leaving Han Qian to mourn in Xuzhou, Yang Yuanpu's face couldn't help but darken, as if a huge stone had been pressed on his heart, making him breathless.
The main reason is that he has no experience in fighting.
When he learned that Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, and Han Daoming had escorted his mother and concubine back, he was happy and thought of a loving mother and a filial son; Lin Haizheng and Yuan Guowei came over to remind him that Zheng Yu had secretly met Zheng in Zuo Longque Army overnight. Disciple, he did not raise alarm and even scolded Lin Haizheng and the others for stirring up trouble.
Wen Ruilin, Zhou Yuan and others suggested that the concubine should participate in the discussion. He felt that the concubine risked her life and came to Yueyang through the rebel blockade. When dealing with the military affairs of Tanzhou, he should consult the concubine for her opinion, but also ignored Shen Yang, Zheng Hui, Gao Chengyuan and others opposed it.
When Wen Ruilin, Zhou Yuan and others immediately proposed to add the Xing Privy Council, Xing Yushitai and Xingtai six departments, and put Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming, Han Daochang and others in charge. When he realized that something was wrong, he had already lost the opportunity. , at this time, even Zheng Hui, Gao Chengyuan, and Guo Liang no longer opposed Wen Ruilin, Zhou Yuan, and the others.
The situation in Yueyang has become the same as when Jiang Huo escorted Princess Qingyang back. Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang also officially served as female officials in the inner palace.
After hearing the news that Han Qian had returned to Xuzhou, Yang Yuanpu wished he could fly to Xuzhou to see Han Qian. However, even when Princess Qingyang arrived in Yueyang City, a group of people used etiquette as an excuse to prevent him from going directly to meet Han Qian. , how could he have the opportunity to leave Yueyang and go to Xuzhou to meet Han Qian?
Yang Yuanpu was looking forward to Shen Yang, Gao Chengyuan and others standing up to refute Zheng Chang and demand revenge on Han Qian, but he did not expect that Shen Yang would directly change the topic to other matters first.
How can this make him not disappointed or depressed?
"What's the matter that's been delayed so long?" Yang Yuanpu asked listlessly.
Shen Yang sat up slightly, cupped his hands towards Tan King Yang Yuanpu and said:
"It has been more than two months since Han Daoxun was injured and died, and it has been two months since the post of governor of Xuzhou has been pending. If Chang Shi and Sima Dai are always in charge of the military and political affairs of Xuzhou, how can we convince the Xingshang Shutai to effectively control the state and county? But if the prefectures and counties are hesitant, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the fight against rebellion."
At present, Hunan Xingtai can directly control the five states of Tan, Yue, Lang, Heng, and Shao. At the same time, because of the attachment of the Zheng family, it has strong control over Huangzhou, but its control over Chenzhou and Xuzhou is weaker.
The peripheral states of Jiangzhou, Ehong, Gansu, Jingxiang, Ying, etc. were sitting on the fence and watching, and did not show a clear tendency, let alone accept the order of Hunan Xingshang Shutai.
Not to mention that Da Chu was only founded a dozen years ago and has not yet become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if it has been passed down to several emperors, the relationship between the central and local governments will always be subtle and antagonistic.
The peripheral states and counties of Hunan Xingtai are far away from Jinling. Their attitude of neutrality or dependence actually depends to a considerable extent on the cohesion and strength of Hunan Xingtai itself.
Prefectures and counties without the ability or strong figures to occupy them have always been double-dealing and wall-riding, but this is exactly what they must win over first.
Being able to win the support and surrender of more states and counties means that more money and food can be mobilized, more capable soldiers and horses can be recruited, which means having more strategic depth and hinterland.
At this time, Shen Yang proposed that the candidate for the governor of Xuzhou should be decided as soon as possible. Everyone felt that it was natural but also quite unexpected.
Jiang Huo was quite surprised at first, and didn't understand why Shen Yang brought up this matter at this time. But when he saw the shadow on the faces of Zheng Yu and others, he suddenly understood. Shen Yang raised this question. I want to see if Zheng Yu, Han Daoming and others dare to break up with Han Qian directly and send someone else to serve as the governor of Xuzhou.
If they dare not send someone to serve as governor of Xuzhou, and at the same time they must decide on a new candidate for governor of Xuzhou as soon as possible, then they can only appoint Han Qian to concurrently serve as governor.
Leaving Han Qian to serve as governor in Xuzhou does not constitute a forced violation of Han Qian's wish to stay in Xuzhou to mourn. At the same time, he can also be called the Marquis of Xinchang. The Zheng family teamed up with Ding You to completely suppress Han Qian in the name of filial piety system. The calculation failed.
If Jiang Huo hadn't been able to meet Han Qian in the past few days and confirm that Han Qian had just returned to Xuzhou after a long journey, he would have suspected that Han Qian and Shen Yang had been secretly communicating with each other for a long time.
"Mr. Shen is right. The candidate for the governor of Xuzhou must be decided immediately. The decision cannot be delayed any longer. Han Daoming, you are the newly appointed minister of the administrative department. It is the responsibility of the administrative department to recommend candidates. Do you have any What suitable candidate would you recommend to the public for discussion?"
After all, Yang Yuanpu had been taught by Shen Yang for many years. He immediately understood and cheered up. He stared at Han Daoming with his young and energetic eyes and asked,
"Although the late emperor had personally promised in front of the Chongwen Hall that the Han family should be appointed governor of Xuzhou, the current situation is special. Considering that Han Qian needs Ding You to serve as a filial piety, Mr. Han, when you recommend candidates, you don't have to think about Han Qian. "
Han Daoming's face was a bit ugly. The so-called late emperor's favor in the Chongwen Palace did not form an imperial edict and could be ignored. As the head of the Han family, he could even decline such a favor on Han Qian's behalf, but they really wanted to send someone at this time. Others went to Xuzhou to take up posts, but in the end they were driven out, detained, or simply killed by Han Qian's men. Who dares to imagine the consequences?
But, do you really want to hand over the post of governor of Xuzhou directly to Han Qian now?
"Han Qian is only twenty-three years old, and he is leading the military and political affairs of a state. Isn't he too young?" Wang Chan'er sat behind the curtain and looked at the silence in front of the hall, saying with the sound of an urn.
"The late emperor promised the Han family to take over the post of governor of Xuzhou, but he did not say that Han Qian must take over the post after Han Daoxun. Mr. Han is too old. We cannot force Mr. Han to work hard, that will only It is even more inconsistent with the filial piety system; and the Han Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of executive affairs, and the responsibility is too heavy to leave lightly, maybe Han Daochang, Lord Han, can be invited to Xuzhou to take charge of military affairs?" Shen Yang seemed to look at it with a bit of suggestion and a bit of consultation. Look at Han Daochang who is sitting opposite.
Shen Yang was no better at calculating than Han Qian and Wang Wenqian, and he was not as quick-witted as Zheng Chang. As a result, Zheng Chang and Zheng Yu lost every opportunity after escorting the concubine to Yueyang.
Of course, he was also worried that Han Daoxun's death would make Han Qian's thoughts become more sinister and ruthless. However, Shi Fei, Zheng Yu, and Han Daoming had only been here for a few days, and they were already a little ignorant. At this time, Han Qian was probably the only one who could Make them feel a little scared, right?
Shen Yang didn't want to be a soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others, and kept his eyes on Han Daochang. If Han Daochang really had the courage to go to Xuzhou to face Han Qian, as Xingtai Zuocheng, he wouldn't mind signing the appointment.
Han Daochang looked depressed. He really didn't have the courage to go to Xuzhou to see Han Qian. He said to Yang Yuanpu in a somewhat irritated voice: "Daochang has little qualifications and no merit in governance. He is too embarrassed to take on the important task. Please choose another worthy person."
Yang Yuanpu looked at Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang.
Zheng Yu frowned slightly, and when he was about to speak, Zheng Chang shook his head slightly in his direction, indicating that he should not express his position easily.
When Yang Yuanpu saw a silence in the hall and no one spoke anymore, he turned back to look at the slightly unfamiliar figure behind the curtain and asked, "Mother, what do you think?"
Wang Chan'er was silent behind the curtain for a while, and then said reluctantly: "Since the late emperor had this intention when he was still alive, and Han Qian also worked hard and made great achievements, the Ai family cannot let the heroes' hearts fall. You can decide what you think is best."
Jiang Huo didn't expect that the matter would be settled so smoothly, and was quite surprised. He didn't know whether the concubine had changed her mind and was really thinking of the contributions of the Han family and his son, or whether Yao Xishui and other girls serving the concubine had just persuaded her.
Separated by a curtain, he was relatively far away and could not clearly see what was going on behind the curtain.
Jiang Huo was about to ask Princess Qingyang how to deal with the matter, but he heard the concubine yawning behind the curtain and said: "The Ai family has been tired after discussing for so long today. The Ai family sees that all the Qing family members are also busy day and night.
I'm very tired from hard work. If there are any other matters, let's discuss them later..."
"According to the imperial concubine's will." Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming and others said, and they all unanimously decided to temporarily end today's discussion.
Yang Yuanpu was also quite helpless and could only leave Jiang Huo alone and ask Princess Qingyang and Han Qian for more details about their return to Xuzhou.
…………

"What, leaving Han Qian to observe filial piety in Xuzhou and making him also serve as the governor of Xuzhou? Didn't Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang express any objection?" Han Jun and Han Duan followed them to Yueyang, and for the time being they were only awarded the rank of governor.
As a low-level official, he was not qualified to participate in tonight's discussion, so he stayed at the house to wait for Han Daoming and Han Daochang. Only when Han Daochang came back did he know what happened tonight, and he was shocked.
Shen Yang and Han Qian have a teacher-student relationship, and they have always served under Yang Yuanpu. It is not difficult to understand that he plans for Han Qian. They are also from the same family as Han Qian, and it is easy for Shen Yang to use them as excuses. Therefore, Han Qian serves as the narrator.
It was difficult to object too strongly to the matter of becoming the governor of the state, but Han Jun couldn't understand why Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang didn't object?
Even if no one is willing to go to Xuzhou to face Han Qian, it is not impossible to delay the appointment of a new Xuzhou governor.
"Zheng Chang doesn't want Zheng Yu to express his position. Maybe they mainly don't want Han Qian to come to Yueyang, but they don't want to really break up with Han Qian, right?" Han Daoming said with a gloomy face, "But also because of Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang
Shen Yang was so silent that it was inconvenient for the concubine to object strongly, but Shen Yang facilitated this matter easily."
"The Zheng family is different from us after all. We still need to get closer to Lord Chai, Zhou Bucheng and the others," Han Jun pondered for a while and then said to his father, "Father should remind the concubine more of this when he has the opportunity.
."
Han Daoming nodded and asked his second brother Han Daochang: "What do you think?"
"The Zheng family was originally a wealthy family in Jingxiang and controlled Huangzhou for a long time. In addition to Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang, there were also a large number of outstanding disciples under their command such as Zheng Hui, Zheng Xingxuan, and Zheng Xing.
Han Qian is less afraid after all. Therefore, what Han Jun said makes sense. Even if we escort the concubine to Yueyang together, the Zheng family may not really stand with us. I don’t know whether the concubine can understand this truth.
, maybe it is really necessary to remind you." Han Daochang acknowledged Han Jun's judgment and said.
"I see that the title of governor of Xuzhou has been decided, and Han Qian has no excuse to come to Yueyang. It may not necessarily be a bad thing," Han Jun said, "Han Qian's thoughts are more feminine and ruthless, but other than that, it may not be a bad thing.
There is so much to worry about. Maybe if he is allowed to languish in Xuzhou for three or four years, and all the property left to him by his third uncle, there is nothing to worry about..."
"That's true. Without the foundation laid by his third uncle, how could he have done so many things in the past few years." Han Duan also believed from the bottom of his heart that Han Qian could win the trust and importance of Tan King Yang Yuanpu, more so.
Because of his father Han Daoxun's influence, Han Qian himself is more scheming and more ruthless.
"..." Han Daoming nodded, looked at his eldest son with great satisfaction, and said, "Han Jun, your thoughts are becoming more and more mature now. When the concubine chooses the guard of honor and stays in the guard, you may be able to work beside the concubine.
, when the time comes, I will be able to truly have a unique figure among the younger generations of the Han family."
