Chapter 442 Northwest Secret

Li Dongyang trembled and looked cold. The chief assistant of the cabinet had his own majesty and aura. The chaotic courtiers felt this pressure and finally stopped talking.

Li Dongyang slowly said, "Your Excellency, don't forget your identity. How can you be so presumptuous in front of the imperial throne? Whether the position of minister of the Ministry of War is suitable for Lu Wan or Jiang Han is not suitable, but it can't be decided by talking loudly. Who is more suitable? You still need to put forward more practical comments.

Xu Guangzuo said coldly, "What Li Shoufu said, but the old man came to evaluate this Lord Lu. Lord Lu is indeed in his prime, but the position of secretary of the Ministry of War is not a light and competent person. If you use this as a basis, a large group of old ministers in this hall can only return to their hometown."

The old ministers in the palace nodded one after another, and someone whispered, "Yes, the officials are elected, not male pets. What do you want to be young and beautiful?" This statement suddenly caused a snicker.

Xu Guangzuo continued: "As Lord Shoufu said, who is more suitable depends on whether he has the ability to be in charge of the military headquarters. Some people have previously said that Lu Wan has made contributions to suppressing thieves with Song Nan and Song this time, showing courage and wisdom, but as far as I know, Lord Lu Wan's performance in suppressing thieves this time is not satisfactory. Not only is it brave and fearless, but on the contrary, it has made a lot of mistakes.

Ah? Is there such a thing?"

"How did my husband know? What did Lu Wan do?"

The courtiers were stunned and inquired one after another. The three university scholars in the cabinet had voted to elect Lu Wan a few days ago. In addition to the reasons for persuading officials, Lu Wan's performance in suppressing the thief this time was good. At this moment, Xu Guangzuo said that it was fut, which naturally felt very strange.

"As far as the old minister knows, Lu Wan made many mistakes in this fight against thieves. Liu Liu, the leader, who leaked the net from Weishan Lake, was the incompetence of Lu Wan's blockade. When suppressing the thieves in the mountain, Lu Wan once refused Song Nan's order and refused to enter the mountain to suppress the thieves. Later, he was reluctant to enter the mountain, but due to a decision-making error, he was deprived of the commander-in-chief by Xu Tai to replace it. When he attacked the mountain thief's fortress, he was afraid to die and did not dare to fight desperately, delaying the fighter plane, causing a large number of casualties among our soldiers. How can such a person be in charge of the military department? It's a joke."

After saying a word, everyone was shocked. Not only did Zhengde and the courtiers hear such a statement for the first time, but also Yang Tinghe and Song Nan were also surprised. Yang Tinghe was surprised that what Xu Guangzuo said was almost the same as what Song Nan said when he broke into his house that day. Could it be Song Nan who waved against himself and had already put these Did the words tell Xu Guangzuo?

Song Nan frowned, but he was soon relieved. Some of the generals and horses under his command were originally the soldiers and horses of the governor's office. As the governor of the governor's office, Xu Guangzuo naturally had thousands of ways to listen to the news in the army. With Xu Guangzuo's ability, he could certainly learn from his own arrangements and some spider silk. It is not difficult to judge the details in the horse's tracks.

Song Nan raised her head and saw a cold look shooting at herself. It was Yang Tinghe's angry eyes, and Song Nan shrugged her shoulders innocently.

Zhengde straightened up from the dragon seat and said with confusion on his face, "Is this true? How did the Duke of Ding know?"

Xu Guangzuo did not hide it and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't forget that most of the soldiers participating in the war will be under the jurisdiction of our central army governor's office. After returning to the camp after the war, how can the old minister not summon them to summarize the gains and losses? It was learned from the soldiers that Lord Song did not want to publicize this matter, or to cover it up for Lu Wan, and probably would not truthfully report it to the emperor.

Zhengde turned to Song Nan with an unhappy face and said, "Song Nan, I asked you about Lu Wan's performance in the army that day. You refused to say anything, but it turned out to be protective; is what the Duke of Ding is true? This move is an important candidate for the foreign military department. Don't hide it.

Finally, he had to face this matter. Song Nan could not avoid it and only went out to salute. Seeing hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at him together, Song Nan hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, it is no wonder that day. It was the emperor who was invited by the empress dowager to leave by himself and asked me to repay him another day. It was not that I did not answer."

Zhengde thought for a moment and held his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm confused. It's true. Can you tell me Lu Wan's real performance in the army now?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "Of course, but before that, I have to make it clear. Although I don't have the right to comment on the two candidates for the post of Minister of War, as the commander of the Jinyiwei, I have the responsibility to back of all the large and small officials. I know something about the scene. Jiang Han, the general of Ningxia, was very familiar. Just now, I thought about it for a long time and suddenly remembered everything about Jiang Han, the general of Ningxia. I felt it was necessary to make this matter public. Because since Lord Jiang Han wants to become a candidate for the Minister of War, he always needs to know his true conduct and ability, so that it is convenient for you to make a real evaluation of it. What does the emperor think?

Liu Jin, who stared at Song Nan's eyes and was about to protrude, finally couldn't help saying, "Song Nan, the emperor is asking about Lu Wan's affairs in the army at this moment. Why do you talk about him? Whether Lord Jiang Han is suitable or not, only the Ministry of officials will be selected, but you don't have a place to speak.

Xu Guangzuo also said coldly, "It's Lu Wan who asked. Is it possible that Lord Song will continue to hide it for Lu Wan?"

Song Nan looked at Zhengde without saying anything. Zhengde pinched his chin and meditated for a moment. He said to Song Nan, "Have you ever checked Jiang Han?"

Song Nan nodded and said, "I have checked, but it happened a few months ago. I almost forgot this matter. If this person hadn't been mentioned in today's court, I wouldn't have wanted to mention it."

Zhengde said, "Since Jinyiwei has investigated Jiang Han, you can say that today is also to evaluate the candidates, and Jinyiwei's investigation may be used as some basis for judgment."

Liu Jin whispered, "Your Majesty, Song Nan should talk about Lu Wan first. Song Nan obviously intends to hide something for Lu Wan. What is its purpose? He can't fool the emperor."

Zhengde frowned at Liu Jin and said coldly, "Do I know that I seem to be so easily deceived?"

Liu Jin lost her words knowingly and hurriedly said, "Da damn it, that's not what I mean, maid..."

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't blame you. Don't say much." Turning to Song Nan, he said loudly, "Song Nan, tell me."

Song Nan thanked him and got up and said, "Your Majesty, you still remember that Yang Yiqing, the general manager of the three sides, went to the northwest more than three months ago. To be honest, Yang Yiqing has always had letters with me. The reason why I kept in touch with Lord Yang is because It is my guarantee for Lord Yang. If the three-sided general affairs are ineffective, I am also responsible, so I have always been concerned about the progress of Lord Yang in the northwest.

Zhang Mao nodded and said, "This is human's normal, but it's nothing."

Song Nan took a look at Zhang Mao and smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I'm just afraid that someone will have a dark heart and think there is some conspiracy. At the beginning of Liu Liu and Liu Qisheng's chaos, I received a letter from Lord Yang, which mentioned Jiang Han, the general of Ningxia.

The ministers were refreshed and may miss a word. Yang Yiqing was appointed as the three-sided general system. Ningxia, Yansui and Gansu were all under his jurisdiction, but anyone with some brains knew that Yang Yiqing's departure was not a good job. If he wanted to be above the general of the border town, there would be many entanglements and contradictions. After the defeat of the internal and external court for this position, many people have been waiting for the news of the incurable trouble. Some people have instructed the generals and local guard generals to cause trouble for Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing clearly saw this, so he went alone when he took office, and even his family did not dare to take it with him, because no one knew what would happen. What's the matter?

"Lord Yang told me in his letter that the rectification of the military affairs on the three sides is really difficult, and the resistance is also great. However, compared with Yansui and Gansu, the resistance in Ningxia is greater, among which the name of Jiang Han, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, is mentioned. Lord Yang Yiqing sighed that this king was unruly dependent on the old and sold the old, and turned a deaf ear to the orders of the three-party general government. He not only did not carry out Lord Yang's orders, but also set up many obstacles.

Xu Guangzuo said coldly, "Is this the so-called Lord Jiang Han that you found out by Jinyiwei? These are all contradictions in local military affairs. Besides, how can Yang Yiqing's words be judged right or wrong? What a joke."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Why should I be so impatient? I haven't finished my words yet. It's just noisy. In order to solve the problem, Lord Yang personally entered Ningxia Town. However, he never thought that after staying in Ningxia Town, he lived in the post office three times and almost lost the seal of the chief of the three sides. For the last time, the whole post office was on fire, which almost made Lord Yang and dozens of accompanying soldiers. Death in the sea of fire.

Ah? Is there such a thing?"

"This... is incredible."

Zhengde also opened his eyes and asked, "Can you find out who did it?"

Song Nan said, "The emperor asked the key to the question. Lord Yang instructed Jiang Han, the general of Ningxia, to thoroughly investigate the matter, but the answer was that it was caused by the bandits in Ningxia town and could not catch the culprit. Think about it, the border towns and the stationing of heavy soldiers must be severe and severe in public security. If it happens occasionally, it is not surprising that the repeated raids of the important minister's post hall is obviously not prevaricate on the grounds of bandits. At that time, when Liu Liu and Liu Qi's anti-thieves were in full swing, I was also weak, so I ordered the Nanzhen Fu Department to send a member to cooperate with the Tiqi of the Qianhu Institute of Jinyiwei in Ningxia to conduct a thorough investigation, so many unusual clues were found.

Song Nan's voice fell, and the hall was silent. The courtiers were not stupid. In fact, they were much smarter than ordinary people. Song Nan stopped talking, but most people had guessed the end.
