Chapter 1393 Old acquaintance

On June 13th, Chen Xi and his party arrived in Nanchang Prefecture in a low-key manner.

Because Chen Xi did not notify the Jianggan local Sansi Yamen in advance, his arrival seemed very sudden. Even the Sansi Yamen did not send anyone out of the city to greet him. Instead, the Ning Prince Mansion received news in advance and sent a special person to welcome him.

Nanchang is the headquarters of the Zhengcheng-announced Government Envoy, and Nanchang Prefecture has under its jurisdiction, Jianxin, Fengcheng, Jinxian, Fengxin, Jing'an and Wuning. Among them, Nanchang and the newly established two counties are Yiguo.

There is Donghu Lake in the southeast of Nanchang County; there is Ganjiang River in the west, flowing from Fengcheng County, entering Poyang Lake in the northeast, leaving Hukou County, entering Dajiang, also called Zhangjiang; there is Wuyang Water in the southeast, originating from Nanfeng County Wujiang, flowing from here in the north, and entering Gongting Lake in the northeast; there is the Shiban Inspection Department in the south.

Jianxin County has Wucheng Mountain in the north and is adjacent to the Gan River; Poyang Lake in the east, namely Pengli, which is commonly known as Dongpo Lake; it is connected to Gongting Lake in the west, which is called Yunshui in the southwest of the West Po Lake, which is also known as Shu River, which flows in from Gao'an County and merges with Zhangjiang; Zhaojiawei in the northeast, Wushan in the west, Wucheng in the north, and Changyi Four Inspection Offices in the northwest.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the 11th year of Hongwu, the Yu Palace was established in Nanchang Prefecture. In the 25th year, it was changed to the Dai Palace and moved to Datong, Shanxi. At the beginning of Yongle, the Ning Palace was moved from Daningwei here.

By this time, Nanchang Prefecture was still the garrison of the Ning Prince's Mansion.

When Chenxi arrived, King Xiaoning Zhu Chenhao learned the news in advance and sent the chief secretary to bring sixteen people with gifts to welcome Chenxi and his party at the north gate of the city.

The chief of the emperor claimed that his surname was Sun, and he did not report his name. In his identity, there was no need to be given a gift. However, when Chen Xi just arrived at the place, he did not act like a governor of the two provinces. He cordially met with the chief of the Ning Prince's Mansion, but did not intend to accept the gift.

Sun Changshi said: "...Shen Zhongcheng came from afar, and the journey was exhausted and he needed to use slaves... Later, there were sixteen servants, including cooks, grooms, flower workers, and commissars. The prince ordered him to serve Shen Zhongcheng's daily life. The renovation of the governor's yamen where Shen Zhongcheng was staying had been completed by the royal palace before..."

Not only did he bring too many gifts, but he also gave them to others. Unlike local officials who came to give women, the one who gave slaves was a big and thick man, who came to help with the work.

This shows the difference.

Local officials are eager for quick success and instant benefits, while Ning Wang focuses on cultivating personal relationships and does not accept them for giving them to women. This is because he is afraid that others will say they are greedy for money and lustful, so gifts are simple local specialties, and they will also be given to men's servants to help with their work.

As for the place where he lives, he has repaired it in advance, which is considered to be a landlord. After all, Jianggan has no Governor's Office, and Chenxi can only live in the Governor's Office. The Governor's position in Jianggan has been vacant for several years, and no one has lived there during this period. The royal palace helps to repair it, so the court will not say anything.

After getting familiar with each other, everyone will drink and talk about each other, and then give away some relatively valuable things according to their preferences. In a subtle way, they will win over people to achieve the goal of being in harmony with the flow.

Chen Xi had to admire King Xiaoning's way of making friends.

Chenxi Road: "I have just arrived in Jianggan Province and have not seen the officials of the Third Division. If I contacted the vassal kings first, it would be a good deed for me to be reported by the censors, so I cannot accept gifts or people. After you go back, you told King Ning that I will not stay in Jianggan for too long. This arrival is just a routine matter, not targeting the Ning Wang Mansion and local officials and gentry..."

Sun Changshi did not force himself and saluted respectfully: "Mr. Zhongcheng is in a hurry and he will no longer disturb his position. If you have any needs, just go to the Ning Prince's Mansion to inform him. However, please leave one person for communication and communication!"

After saying that, Sun Changshi waved to him, but he was a young man who looked less than 20 years old. He was wearing short brown clothes, with leggings on his legs, and a cleverness all over his body... This is also the place where King Ning is smart. You can not accept gifts, but I want to give someone to you and help you with it. If you have any questions, you can ask him to come to the Huining Palace to facilitate walking on both sides.

Chen Xi didn't want to get too entangled with Sun Changshi anymore, so he waved his hand: "Just stay!"

This time, he brought more than 200 people, one or two more, and Chen Xi wanted to see what King Ning was doing, so that everyone in Jianggan local officials seemed to know that he was going to rebel. If King Ning dared to do things too blatantly, Chen Xi would dare to send troops to take King Ning directly. Of course, he had to find conclusive evidence of the crime in advance. Judging from the current situation, it would be difficult.

The vassal king lost power, and it was indeed not even a big deal in the court, but if he wanted to bring the vassal king down, it was equivalent to digging the walls of the old Zhu family, and the emperor would not agree.

...

...

After Chenxi entered the city, he moved directly into the newly repaired governor's office of Jianggan.

After the team arrived at the yamen, the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the Censorate Office, and the Chief Commander Office received the news and hurriedly sent people to greet them. However, Chen Xi had already entered the Governor's Office and sent Shen Yongqi to receive these officials.

Even though Shen Yongqi had seen a certain world with Chen Xi, he was a rural youth after all, and he had little knowledge. These officials met him and seemed to play the piano with cows when talking and doing things. People from the local three yamen never expected that Chen Xi would find such a dull and clumsy person as his right-hand man.

According to Chen Xi's instructions, Shen Yongqi sent away the governor's envoy and the Censor's envoy, and sent a letter to the envoy of the commander's envoy, asking him to take him back to the commander's envoy Wang He of the commander's envoy.

By the way, Wang He and Chen Xi are old acquaintances.

Wang He was the commander of Quanzhou Guard. After helping Chen Xi take over Quanzhou magistrate Zhang Lian and others, Chen Xi mentioned Wang He in the request for merits by Pingfolang. Wang He was highly valued. He was first promoted to the commander-in-chief of Huguang. Later, Jiangxi commander was vacant, so he went further and was transferred to Jiangxi as commander-in-chief. It can be said that he rose to prominence and was in charge of the military power of a province.

Wang He was transferred to Jiangxi's commander-in-chief, which happened after the war in the northwest a year ago. In Shen Xi's view, this was a preparation for the court to transfer him to Huguang and Jianggan after taking office. Wang He was originally a subordinate of Su Jingyang, and Chen Xi was also a capable general. He was transferred to Jiangxi to take charge of the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi to facilitate Chen Xi's actions... He was in Huguang and Jiangxi firmly controlled the army to ensure that the local area was not in chaos.

After Chen Xi arrived at Wuchang Prefecture, Wang He once wrote to Chen Xi to report in detail the local military and political situation in Jiangxi, and the compliments between the lines were abnormal.

If it were a provincial commander like Su Jingyang, who had not received much favor from Chen Xi before, at most he hoped to curry favor with the Governor and seek to be awarded titles in the future and benefit his descendants.

But Wang He had originally received the kindness of Chen Xi, and at that time Chen Xi was just an imperial envoy of the court and was not a rank-in official. It can be said that he met Chen Xi at a very short time. Now that he has a prosperous official career, he of course he has to repay his kindness and respect Chen Xi as his lord, hoping that Chen Xi would be promoted after he became prosperous.

Chen Xi's letter to Wang He is just a daily reminiscence. In fact, it is to communicate with Wang He, which means to let him know something and not find a backer in the future... Since I promoted you from Commander Commander to Commander of the State Council, you will never repay this kindness. I am now the governor of the two provinces in the second rank, and your direct superior. You are now under my jurisdiction. If you join me in the future, I will take over the power and cultivate you.

Wang Heyuan was the kind of cautious general, but after Shen Xi came, he could not calm down.

That night, Chen Xi was having a meal in the backyard of the governor's yamen. When he heard Yun Liu come in and report that it was Wang He, the commander-in-chief, who was here in person.

Chen Xi put down the bowls and chopsticks and went directly to the main hall in front of the governor's yamen to meet Wang He.

Wang He had a beard at this time and seemed much more mature and steady. When he saw Chen Xi, he didn't talk nonsense. He immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I'll see Wang He, you have seen the lord!"

Chen Xi smiled and thought to himself: "What I promoted is different. You can tell at a glance that you are my own person!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "General Wang got up and talk."

As he said that, Chen Xi personally helped Wang He, which made Wang He flattered.

Wang He was wearing armor and stood up. After holding his fists again, he bowed: "Sir, when you arrived in Jianggan, you have never sent troops to escort it. It's too negligent. Please atone for your sins!"
