Qingzhou, the residence and study of the Qingzhou prefect.
"It's been seven days, why doesn't Feng Qian leave?"
Zhang Qi, the prefect of Qingzhou, paced back and forth with an extremely impatient expression and murmured in his mouth.
The man in black sat on the chair, took a sip of tea leisurely, and said softly: "Why are you so anxious? Maybe I didn't leave just to investigate your criminal evidence... After all, you are the governor of Qingzhou, and you are also the governor of Qingzhou." The person in charge of this matter, Feng Qian, as the inspector of the Eight Prefectures, wants to make great achievements, so he naturally needs evidence of your collusion with us."
"No, no, that's not the case."
Zhang Qi suddenly turned his head, looked at the man in black, and said in a deep voice: "The Dragon Guard followed Feng Qian, which means that the imperial court is aware that there is a problem in Qingzhou. These days, the Dragon Guard people have been investigating various counties and counties. They have collected enough evidence of the crime. Even without the evidence in my hand, they are enough to prosecute me. This Feng Qian refuses to leave and even takes the initiative to expose himself. There is definitely a conspiracy."
Suddenly, Zhang Qi thought of a possibility in his mind, and his face darkened: "He is stalling for time..."
"Delay time?" The man in black was a little surprised, looked at Zhang Qi, and asked: "What does the Great Wilderness Court want to do? In just ten days, what can the Great Wilderness Court do? Even if it mobilizes troops and horses, in this short time It’s not enough! Besides, the secret agents placed inside the imperial court did not spread any news, proving that Dahuang did not mobilize troops..."
"It is true that mobilizing troops and horses cannot be hidden from the eyes of the world, but what if we send martial arts experts to sneak into Qingzhou secretly and kill me?" Zhang Qi looked at the man in black with calm eyes and said calmly.
"Um?"
The man in black's relaxed expression changed and he frowned, "You mean, the Great Wilderness Imperial Court sent a master master?"
"These days, I have been thinking, if I were the Emperor of the Wilderness, what would I do if faced with a situation like this in Qingzhou?" Zhang Qi also sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp, "I think about it. I want to go, but I still can’t figure it out.”
"Until you just said that as the inspector of the Eight Prefectures, Feng Qian came here to make a great contribution, so naturally he wanted to investigate the evidence of my collusion with you... This sentence woke me up, and I suddenly found this There is a problem inside, a big problem..."
"According to the information from your spy, the places to be inspected this year were supposed to be the counties and counties in Yizhou, but the little emperor chose Qingzhou instead, and asked Dragon Guard and Feng Qian to secretly enter Qingzhou and start investigating from the lower counties. , this means that the imperial court already knows that there is a problem in Qingzhou."
"Even their actions were directed at the reserve granary. From this, it can be confirmed that they already knew that the reserve granary was empty. However, they lacked key evidence, so they entered Qingzhou under the pretense of inspecting the various states and counties of the Eight Prefectures."
"These days, Dragon Guard and Feng Qian have already investigated clearly. The evidence in my hand is actually irrelevant."
"As long as the imperial court can prove that the grain storage warehouse is empty, none of the county governors and county magistrates responsible for the grain reserves will be able to escape, including me, the Qingzhou governor..."
"But until now, Feng Qian has not returned to the capital. Instead, he has appeared in Qingzhou City and entered the post house in Qingzhou City grandly. His purpose is clear at a glance. Even the governor Chen Jia has returned to Qingzhou City to accompany the imperial envoy. He patrolled all parts of Qingzhou City as if he wanted to thoroughly investigate Qingzhou."
"They were stalling for time, but they didn't use troops. The imperial court must have sent experts here, and perhaps sent out offerings from the enshrinement hall!"
Hearing what Zhang Qi said, the man in black's expression became solemn and said: "Don't worry, when the Dragon Guard and Feng Qian sneaked into Qingzhou, I had already passed the news back. Mr. Liu will definitely know it after he knows it." Deploy martial arts masters to come."
"Mr. Liu?"
Zhang Qi frowned slightly when he heard these three words, and then seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he asked: "But Mr. Liu, who studied Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and set the sixteen national policies for the Sirius Kingdom?"
"That's right." The expression of the man in black also became solemn, as if Mr. Liu was a person who could not be offended lightly, "The Qingzhou plan was decided by Mr. Liu."
"It was Mr. Liu's instruction to cooperate with you back then."
"I see." Zhang Qi's expression was quite complex. He could only describe Mr. Liu in eight words - the enemy's hero and our enemy.
Mr. Liu is a well-deserved traitor, a traitor of the Great Wilderness, and a scholar of the Great Wilderness. In his early years, he studied at the No. 1 academy in the world - Tianjing Academy. In the name of the leader, he participated in the imperial examination ten years ago and was defeated by Zhou Zhenwen, the chief minister of the Great Wilderness Cabinet. , became second in the list, Mr. Liu, who claimed to be the best in the world, could not bear the humiliation, so he resigned from office and left the capital.
And left a sentence...
"The wilderness does not need two geniuses. If Liu is born, why should Zhou be born..."
Three years later, a news came from the Kingdom of Sirius. Mr. Liu went to the Xiongnu tribe and met the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun. He offered the Sixteen Strategies of Sirius, which shocked the world. He was immediately named the military advisor by the Sirius King.
From that year on, the Sirius Kingdom frequently plundered the borders of the wilderness, kidnapped talents, built city-states, imitated the Central Plains system, established royal courts, and annexed various ethnic groups, thus opening a chapter of the rule of the Sirius Dynasty. In just five or six years, The Tianlang Kingdom has annexed the Wuwan, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other ethnic groups, and some of its people have begun to cultivate fields and grow food crops, becoming the sole overlord on the grassland.
A poem spread from the Kingdom of Sirius to the Central Plains.
"When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom. The incense array will penetrate the capital, and the whole city will be filled with fish scales!"
Everyone understands that this is an anti-poem, and it is also Mr. Liu's declaration of war against Zhou Zhenwen, the chief minister of the Dahuang Cabinet!
Since Dahuang's imperial examination is no match for yours, let's compare our overall national strength and see which one is better, your Dahuang, or the Sirius Kingdom that I have managed!
"With Mr. Liu's vision, he will definitely guess the intention of the Great Wilderness Court. The martial arts masters coming this time must be at the master level." The man in black grinned, his words full of admiration for Mr. Liu.
A foreigner can be admired and respected by the Sirius people.
It is enough to demonstrate Mr. Liu’s talent and ability.
"This layout is not only between Qingzhou and the Dahuang court, but also a confrontation between Mr. Liu and Zhou Zhenwen, the chief minister of the Dahuang cabinet. At present, there are many problems within Dahuang, which are more complicated than ours in the Sirius Kingdom. The Sirius Kingdom The contradiction lies in the reconciliation between various ethnic groups, while the specific contradiction in Dahuang lies within, between the vassal king and the court, between the wealthy families and the court, and the queen mother who has been unwilling to delegate power..."
"This battle in Qingzhou will be very interesting... isn't it?"
The man in black had a playful look on his face. Obviously, for him, the life and death of the people in Qingzhou had nothing to do with him. The grain and grass in Qingzhou had already been shipped to the Sirius Kingdom. The only one with value now is Zhang Qi and the Qingzhou army arrived.
As long as the Qingzhou army rebels, the Dahuang court will have a headache.
As for winning or losing...he doesn't care, and Mr. Liu behind him actually doesn't care either!
The reason why he helped Zhang Qi was nothing more than profit.
Qingzhou's rebellion has many benefits for the Sirius Kingdom.
The more chaotic Qingzhou is, the more benefits they will get.
Whether you take the opportunity to invade the border or plunder Qingzhou's talents, it is a good deal!
