Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1527 Bold Xu Jie

   After Yan Song spoke, Xu Jie was naturally the second assistant.

Xu Jie was also full of praise for Yan Song's ten difficult strategies. Yan Song's performance at the moment was completely different from that of Cai Guandian just now, but Xu Jie was not surprised by this. At critical moments, Yan Song will ask Xiaoge Lao Yan Shifan to write an emergency report, and this time is certainly no exception. These "ten difficult and three strategies" must have been written by Yan Shifan, and Xu Jie knew that many of the suggestions were from Yan Shifan as soon as he heard them. No idea, he is too familiar with Yan Shifan.

   I have to admit that Yan Song has a good son. If it weren't for Yan Shifan, he would have been unable to hold the position of chief assistant of the cabinet for a long time. Now with Yan Shifan's quick wit that surpasses ordinary people, and Yan Song's decades of experience to grasp the general direction, his big ship is still sailing steadily in the officialdom.

   For a while, there was no sign of overturning.

But don't worry, no matter how experienced Yan Song is, his age is getting older day by day. Although Yan Shifan has the quickest wit that surpasses ordinary people, he also has many problems that surpass ordinary people. Although there is no sign of capsizing now, but with the increase of hidden dangers, one day, their big ship will capsize in the wind and waves of the Xuanhai Sea! Xu Jie firmly believes in this, and secretly makes unremitting efforts for it .

   "Huating, what's your opinion?" Emperor Jiajing asked by name before Xu Jie took the initiative to speak.

   "Returning to the Holy One, Lord Yan's \'Ten Difficulties and Three Strategies' hits the nail on the head. With Lord Yan's jewels in front of him, the minister's suggestion pales in comparison, and I dare not call it a good opinion." Xu Jie cupped his hands modestly.

  Yan Song glanced at Xu Jie in satisfaction, yes, the performance of this old boy Xu Jie is getting better and better.

   It also looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

  Although it is not as easy to use as Wenhua and Ranqing, it can be used with a little peace of mind.

  Compared to Yan Song, Li Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials on one side, spit at Xu Jie secretly after hearing Xu Jie's words.

   Phew!

   Unexpectedly, Xu Jie became the licking dog of Yan Laoer! What a disgrace to my generation of literati. Ashamed to be with Yan Song, even more ashamed to be with you!

I was really blind. When Xu Jie was arguing with Zhang Fujing, who was a cabinet scholar at the time, on the standards of Confucius’ sacrifices, Zhang Fujing scolded Xu Jie for wanting to betray me, but Xu Jie calmly said, “betrayal is born of attachment, and I am not attached to you. Why did you betray?", and was demoted as an official in Yanping Prefecture. At that time, I still looked up to Xu Jie, thinking that he had a literati character, but I never thought that I was blind after all. It was extremely disappointing that Xu Jie had no literati character.

  It seems that only my generation can undertake the important task of bringing order out of chaos, fighting against Yan Laogou’s henchmen, and returning the court to a clean and bright moon.

  Li Mo silently made up his mind, then silently moved his steps away from Yan Song and Xu Jie

   "If you have any suggestions, just put it bluntly. As for the fineness and geometry, everyone will distinguish."

   Emperor Jiajing urged with a blank face.

"Yes, yes, what the Holy Majesty said is very true. Just now, Lord Yan's three strategies are to add warships, Shaohaikou, Huangpu, Wusong Taihu Lake, etc., recruit wolf soldiers, native soldiers, etc., which can not only keep the Japanese overseas, but also destroy them. I was on the road. The minister was also inspired by Master Yan's three strategies. The minister thought that adding warships, guarding the inner lake at the mouth of the sea, recruiting wolf soldiers and local soldiers, and training more soldiers and horses in the guard station. Based on the existing official position system in the south of the Yangtze River, it is difficult to coordinate and command in a unified manner. When the imperial court was in charge, the command may be chaotic and there are many constraints, making it difficult to exert its full strength. Boldly suggest setting up a governor-general to supervise the military affairs of six provinces including Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, and decentralize power so that they can deploy troops and raise salaries, so that they can do it cheaply." Xu Jie said slowly, crossing his hands.

   "Establish a governor-general?! Or the governor-general of six provinces?!"

   "The six provinces are half of the country, and they are still the richest half of the country. They can command troops and raise salaries. The governors of the six provinces have too much authority, almost equivalent to the uncrowned kings of the six provinces.

  Many officials at the court meeting could not help but gasp, surprised by Xu Jie's suggestion.

  Xu Jie's suggestion was not bold, it was bold at that time. Isn’t Xu Jie crazy? Isn’t it a taboo for him to make this suggestion?! The governors of the six provinces can mobilize troops and raise salaries. The governor has such great power, wouldn’t these six provinces become a small kingdom?! If the governor of the six provinces has any dissent, wouldn’t it be too dangerous, and it might be another civil strife. Even the governors of the six provinces have no different intentions, but what about the arrogant soldiers under him?! How did Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao's mutiny and the addition of the yellow robe come about?! This is a lesson from the past.

Of course, if there are too many people with military weight in the past dynasties, not all have problems, but it is difficult to say that some people have problems. No one can predict the future, but once there is a problem, it is a big problem. It is the imperial court and the Holy Majesty who will suffer the most damage.

  After hearing Xu Jie's suggestion, Yan Song couldn't help being surprised. Xu Jie's suggestion was too bold.

  However, if it is adopted by the Holy One...

  Yan Song's heart couldn't help but get excited and warm up. He saw a huge opportunity.

   Governor of the six provinces.

  This position is too important, you must hold it in your own hands and put it in your own hands.

  Zheng worry that there is no one in the army. If this position is mastered, then someone in the army will be available.

   In this way, both the government and the army have a certain weight, so my position will be more stable.

  Maoqing, Wenhua.

Who should be in this position? Well, in addition to loyalty, you must also have real military skills. After all, Japanese pirates are not vegetarians. If you sit in this position, you must be able to wipe out Japanese invaders. At least you have to control the Japanese plague. Well, I have to think about who is more suitable for this position.

   "Governor minister?" Emperor Jiajing heard Xu Jie's suggestion and repeated it softly.

   Xu Jie bowed to His Highness, seemingly calm, but in fact he was so nervous that his back was covered in cold sweat. He naturally knew how bold his proposal was.

  However, based on his understanding of Emperor Jiajing, this suggestion is also very likely to be adopted.

  Sage Gan Gang is assertive, although he is suspicious, but he is confident and fruitful, especially when he is faced with major events, he has the air of a hero.

  Once my suggestion is adopted, I, the person who proposed to set up the governors of six provinces, must have a lot of credit in the credit book for the extermination of the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River. In the future, lie on the credit book and earn credit.

  As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are found in danger.

  At this moment, Yan Song and other ministers are also highly concentrated, waiting for Emperor Jiajing's attitude.
