Chapter five hundred and forty fifth epidemic relief Henan seven
Liu Ximing was originally surrounded by a group of Beijing soldiers and rode forward on horseback, but he was also shocked when he saw the scene outside Gaoyang County.
Especially when he saw the two people outside the Changting Pavilion, Liu Ximing quickly turned over and got off the horse and met him.
"I actually asked Master Ge and Brother Boya to greet each other, I am ashamed."
Sun Chuanting is 47 years old this year. Now the court has also allowed him to re-official office. He is the Right Minister of War and the Right Censor of the Censorate. He is a third-rank official.
However, Liu Ximing's official position is already higher than him, and the Ming Dynasty shall prevail, so Liu Ximing's official call to Brother Boya is a polite expression.
Although he was old, Sun Chengzong was still energetic and stroked his beard and laughed. He stared at Liu Ximing for a while before laughing:
"In recent years, everyone in Hebei has praised the reputation of Xin'anbo, and has the heart of benevolence and righteousness. Even though I am remote at home, I have heard of it. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to see it at first. I am indeed a young hero when I see it today."
I have long heard that Sun Chuanting and Liu Ximing are familiar with each other. In order to avoid the embarrassment of these two people, Sun Chengzong pointed at Sun Chuanting and smiled at Liu Ximing:
"I said I would come to greet you, but Sun Boya insisted on coming, which shows that Xin Anbo is quite faced."
"Hahaha, Brother Boya and I are old acquaintances, and I have received many support from him at the beginning." Liu Ximing quickly responded with a smile.
Sun Chuanting had been idle at home for more than a year, but his energy was not as good as Liu Ximing saw when he was in Kaifeng.
He wanted to go directly to the capital to pay his life, but Liu Ximing considered that he was too tired after another, so he asked him to wait in Gaoyang for a while.
"I never thought that a relationship that day actually played such a great role in Sun. Speaking of this, I should be grateful to Xin'an Bo for this."
Sun Chengzong did not expect Sun Chuanting to say such words, and looked at him in surprise, "How do you start with this?"
Sun Chuanting looked at Liu Ximing with a complicated expression and bowed to him, "Yang Wenruo framed me in front of His Majesty that day, and I heard that it was Xin'an Bo who was in charge of Yang Wenruo's actions, so he avoided the disaster of being imprisoned. This kind of kindness and virtue will never be forgotten."
"Xin'anbo, you and I are just friends with gentlemen. However, there is something happening suddenly, but only you are speaking up for justice in the court. He is really a humble gentleman."
Liu Ximing stood with a smile and did not explain much.
Last year, Yang Sichang wanted to frame Sun Chuanting with Chongzhen many times, and even wanted to imprison him in the name of deceiving the king. Although Liu Ximing did not directly plead for Sun Chuanting in front of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang really spent a lot of effort.
If it follows the direction of history, Sun Chuanting would have been imprisoned for three years because of Yang Sichang's frame-up. It was not until the 15th year of Chongzhen that the bandits completely lost control that Chongzhen remembered such an important official.
This time, it was precisely because the Liu family secretly colluded with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other forces that the bandit forces were more similar to those in history.
The situation became stronger and stronger, and Yang Sichang was in danger many times.
In order to suppress the bandits and prevent them from losing control completely, Liu Ximing asked Chongzhen to use Sun Chuanting. Epidemic prevention is just an excuse. What can really make Sun Chuanting play a role is above military affairs.
But Yang Sichang is the commander at the moment, and I am afraid that Sun Chuanting will not be able to pee in the same pot with him. For this reason, Liu Ximing can only pull Sun Chuanting to his side.
Sun Chuanting's words made Sun Chengzong look at Liu Ximing with a little overestimated.
He smiled and said, "Sun Boya is such a bad temper, but if there is no one in the court who is loyal and honest, there is no one who can do the right way. Xin'anbo can protect him, which is also a merit for the people of the world."
"There is no point in preservation. Nowadays, state affairs are difficult. We, those who are interested, can help you if you can."
When talking about the situation, everyone was speechless.
Liu Ximing had no time to talk about the officials who came to greet Gaoyang County. After a few greetings, the group all went to Sun Chengzong's house to sit down.
In the literati garden with flying eaves and horns, Sun Chengzong specially set up a tea shop to entertain Liu Ximing and Sun Chuanting.
With the breeze and tasting good tea, Liu Ximing couldn't help but feel proud. In just three or four years, he could already drink with big guys like Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting. Things are really changing.
Opposite Liu Ximing, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting were also filled with emotion.
Sun Chengzong was fine, but he just lamented that Liu Ximing was so young but was already an important official in the area.
Sun Chuanting felt very complicated inside. A few years ago, Liu Ximing was a young student who was timid in front of him, but now he has become his immediate boss.
Fortunately, Liu Ximing's steps were quite steadily, and he was not a lucky person from the court to save Fengyang, capture Yuetuo, and provide relief to the capital. No one is not a difficult task. If he can do it, he should naturally enjoy a high position.
Sun Chuanting was not a pedantic and jealous person. He immediately calmed down his mind and bowed to Liu Ximing: "The previous month, a piece of information called Zhongyuan Daily was circulated in the six provinces of the Central Plains. It all talked about epidemic prevention. Is this the matter done by the Central Committee?"
Liu Ximing touched his stubble and smiled, "It made the two Ming Gong laugh. This matter was indeed promoted by Liu after submitting it to His Majesty."
He looked at the two of them, "One person's strength is limited after all. Liu thought that epidemic prevention was related to the people in the Central Plains. In addition to the government, the people also needed to participate consciously. Shang Yang said that those who did not use the people would be the same as those who had no people. I think this is true."
Sun Chengzong was moved, "It is indeed a blessing for the people of the world to have such an idea. I think this is a matter of Zhongyuan. I think it is so wonderful."
"But I still want to ask more questions, what will Xin'anbo plan to deal with this epidemic prevention?"
Liu Ximing talked freely, "The epidemic started in Henan, and even more, Henan Huguang was attacked by bandits, so
Liu plans to mainly manage these two places. As for Shandong, Beizhili and other places, the government can still worry about it. As long as it strictly controls the epidemic prevention method mentioned by Liu, it will not be difficult to manage it."
"Where does Huguang come from when the money and grain are governed by Henan?"
"Liu has requested an imperial edict from His Majesty in this matter, and is allowed to provide relief from the money obtained by the salt administration of the six provinces of the Central Plains. In addition, the Central Plains newspaper has also raised tens of thousands of taels of silver for endorsement of various businesses, which will also be used for epidemic prevention."
Seeing that Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting both began to frown when they heard the salt administration, Liu Ximing quickly explained:
"Liu had already established a law on the salt administration. Although the salt administration has collapsed now, there is no doubt that the people need salt. As long as the operation is done properly, a large amount of money and grain will be raised."
Seeing that Liu Ximing was confident, Sun Chengzong nodded.
He looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "All officials nowadays think that the people should be called and drunk by them. They are willful and arbitrary. Don't you know that all these are stupid people? I am really relieved of Xin'anbo and his party now."
"Shaopo, come here."
Sun Chengzong called out a light call outside the study room, and the second descendant came in accordingly.
Sun Chengzong smiled and pointed at Liu Ximing, "This time my son named him the word "王". He was also a juren, but he delayed his future because he served me at home. Now Xin'an Bo is heading south to prevent the epidemic. I want to entrust him to you and let him see the world. I wonder if Xin'an Bo can sell me a little bit?"
Liu Ximing subconsciously stood up, his face full of flattery.
"Mr. Ming Gong looked so arrogantly at Liu and was willing to entrust his son to me. I was so happy that I was too late, so why would I postpone it?"
After saying that, Liu Ximing smiled and bowed to Sun Yu, "I will ask Brother Shaopo to give me more advice in the future."
With the extra connection between Sun Yu, the relationship between Liu Ximing and Sun Chengzong suddenly became much closer, and the atmosphere in the study became relaxed again.
Seeing this, Sun Chuanting hurriedly asked: "The Chief Secretary made a special trip to ask His Majesty for Sun. I wonder if there is anything that Sun needs to do?"
Liu Ximing sighed, "Brother Boya is extremely talented and cannot be driven by Liu. Liu's move was just designed by the world."
"As I said just now, the Central Plains are now raging bandits. I didn't expect that the bandits would be so powerful after they resurrected. I heard that there were many candidates in Henan and other places, and students were serving in the fighters. This was already a sign of chaos."
"Although Yang Wenluo blocked everything, he was just trying to maintain it. If this continues, it may not only be the Central Plains that will be in chaos, but even the capital will not be able to save it."
After Liu Ximing said this, he bowed to Sun Chuanting again and said, "When this time, one more capable minister can help the Central Plains, and he will have more confidence in stabilizing the world. Therefore, it is false to ask Brother Boya to assist in epidemic prevention this time. Liu wanted to let Brother Boya resume the supervision of the army through this matter."
