This person may not be grateful to himself, let alone convinced by himself. After all, he was demoted to Guangnan West Road last year. From the source of any prefectural judge, he can be said to be the instigator. For a moment, Huang Qiong was in a dilemma. Although he admitted that this person was indeed the best person sent to Ningxia Mansion to do this. But just as Fan Jian said, this person is a double-edged sword.
Used well, it is a weapon for killing enemies. But if you don't use it well, you will also be stabbed bloody. The key is that what he needs in Longyou is a chess piece. This person has a strong personality. Although the prince has been deposed, he may not switch to him. Although I don't need him to be grateful for the kindness of my recovery, the problem is that if this person disobeys after arriving in Ningxia Mansion, then I will have the opposite effect.
Looking at Huang Qiong with a somewhat gloomy expression, Fan Jian pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this person was demoted to Yongzhou. It seems that the Prince is the manipulator behind the scenes, but the real cure lies with the former prince. . He made money for the former prince, but the prince did not protect him after the incident. If the prince was really determined to protect him, even the emperor's punishment would not be so severe."
"This man is a smart man. He should know why he got to this point in the first place. Even if he didn't think clearly in the past, this year in Yongzhou must have been enough for him to wake up. The prince's original behavior chilled him. If the prince now Although it will take some effort to be able to take action, there should be no problem in dragging this person over. Moreover, this person should know what it means to be aware of current affairs."
"Now that the prince has been deposed, if he wants to rely on the prince to revive, it can be said that there is no hope. If the prince really revives him as the prefect of Ningxia, at least within a short period of time, he will know what to do. If the prince really can't Don’t worry, after appointing him as the new Ningxia magistrate, you can just send your confidants to secretly monitor him. In this regard, the Fan family can help."
Huang Qiong did not answer Fan Jian's suggestion immediately. Instead, he stood up in the study, pacing back and forth, deep in thought. After a long time, he said: "Okay, let's follow Brother Fan's method. I will issue a transfer order, asking him to return to the capital as quickly as possible, reinstate him as the prefect of Ningxia, and transfer the former prefect of Ningxia to Longyouzuo to participate in politics. "
Now that he had made up his mind, Huang Qiong went back to his seat, immediately wrote a letter to transfer people, and gave it to Li Hai to ask him to personally go to the official department and expedite the implementation of the matter within 800 miles. After Li Hai left in a hurry, Huang Qiong looked at the leafy tree outside the door, then turned to look at Fan Jiandao: "Before Zhang Qian comes back, the Fan family still needs to continue the work for me." Monitor this Tuoba Jiqian."
"Every move of their brothers recently must be watched closely by me. If there is any news, no matter when, even if I have gone to bed, I must be notified as soon as possible. Where is Long You? At that time, a single move can affect the whole body. Now I just hope that everything can be done in time. What’s more, I hope that this Zhang Qian will never let me down. "
The incident in Longyou made Huang Qiong somewhat uneasy. After the morning court on the second day, Huang Qiong thought for a while and wrote a secret letter to the Longyou pacification envoy, the Jiedu envoy, and the military envoy of Ningxia Prefecture. Ask them to pay close attention to the movements of party members in Lingzhou. In particular, the Ningxia government must be more vigilant and alert, and report to the court as soon as there is any trouble.
After putting down his pen, Huang Qiong smiled bitterly when he thought of the Shanxi Road Guards who were beaten to a pulp by a group of unarmed civilians. If Tuoba Jiqian really rebels, can the guards of Ningxia Mansion really be able to defeat the party's cavalry? Thinking of Tuoba Jiqian's unruly face during the imperial meeting at the beginning of the year, Huang Qiong shook his head again. He really didn't have that confidence.
What I can do now, I have done as much as possible, and the rest can only be seen step by step. In fact, Huang Qiong didn't like this feeling of passive waiting. But with real power still very limited, waiting becomes the only option. But in the end, he was still a little worried, and he didn't want to put all the chess pieces on the Fan family. After much hesitation, Huang Qiong still found the people from Nanzhen Fusi.
After hearing this, Huang Qiong asked Nanzhen Fusi to closely monitor the Dangxiang tribes in Longyou, especially the Dangxiang Pingxia tribe in Lingzhou. The commander who once bought a month's tofu cake outside the British Prince's Palace was slightly startled. He didn't know why the British king paid so much attention to the Pingxia tribe? He actually asked Nanzhen Fusi to send qualified personnel to monitor a deputy envoy of Zhibo.
Huang Qiong didn't give him much explanation, but just told him to seize the time to implement it. If the emperor asks about it later, just put all the blame on him. The commander was somewhat embarrassed by the King of England's request. Undoubtedly, the British king went somewhat over the line in doing so. Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the North and South Zhenfusi have always only obeyed the emperor's instructions.
Not to mention a prince, not even the prince has the right to mobilize the soldiers of the North and South Town Fusi to do anything. If he mobilized personnel privately to carry out the order of the King of England, he would be in trouble once the emperor found out about it afterwards. The last time we sent capable personnel to Shanxi to cooperate in quelling the chaos, we had obtained the emperor's decree. But now, sending people to Longyou was just a private order from the British king.
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed commander in front of him, Huang Qiong said directly: "I also know that your Nanzhen Fusi has always been responsible only to my father. It is indeed difficult for me to make such a request. But Longyou has no regard for me. I don’t need to tell you the importance of the dynasty. The drought in Longyou is far from being completely resolved at the moment, and Longyou is a place where Tibetan and Han people live together."
"On weekdays there is no wind and waves, let alone the flood victims all over Longyou right now? If there are people with ulterior motives at this time, taking advantage of this severe drought to rebel, the whole Longyou might be in chaos. I heard someone say Although Tuoba Jiqian ostensibly submitted to the imperial court, secretly he was obsessed with restoring the so-called glory of the time when he conquered the troubled army."
"This man is now married to various members of the Dangxiang tribe, and he has joined forces with his brother to oust his clan brother, and has gained actual control over the Pingxiabu East Road. This man is so ambitious that he actually controls more than 50,000 households on the entire Pingxiabu East Road. Once any abnormality occurs, it will definitely be a fatal threat to the imperial court in the northwest, so I cannot ignore it. If it were not for this, I would not have confidence in the combat power of the Longyou Guards."
"I will not risk being suspected by my father and come to Lord Wen. In fact, this matter is not big, as long as Lord Wen mobilizes the manpower stationed in Longyou. Besides, I will bear everything for Lord Wen. , I wonder what Mr. Wen has to worry about? This is the first time that the king has asked Mr. Wen to do something, and it is official business. Does Mr. Wen have other difficulties? "
Listening to the hesitation in Huang Qiong's tone, he also knew that the British king currently held a high position in the emperor's mind. Mr. Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Since the prince has ordered me to monitor him, and the person to be monitored is just a deputy envoy of Zhibo, then I will risk being punished by the emperor and accept this job. However, , the prince still needs to write a handwritten edict, so that the lower officials can complete the formalities."
Seeing this guy finally nodded, Huang Qiong smiled meaningfully and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything else. His request for a handwriting was similarly not rejected. Instead, he directly wrote a handwritten edict and stamped it with the stamp he carried with him. When it was handed over to Mr. Wen, the smile on his face became even brighter and he said: "Of course, this king will not let Mr. Wen." Difficult."
And wait until the commander of Nanzhen Fusi took this handwriting and left the side hall. Recalling the meaningful smile of the King of England when he parted, he was very sophisticated, but he couldn't help but break out in cold sweats. It's not that he is timid, it's that the King of England's smile is too weird. Legend has it that the King of England was a smiling tiger, and it turns out to be true today.
Behind him, when this guy left, Huang Qiong looked at his back with a sneer on his face. Commander Wen was such an impartial commander, but he was just transferring a few of his people, and yet he was going to such trouble. No wonder the old man attaches so much importance to this person. At least it seems that this person is loyal enough to be able to withstand other temptations. I just don’t know how much truth and how much lies in his impartiality.
On the one hand, Huang Qiong fully supported Fu Yuanshan in quelling the chaos in Shanxi. On the one hand, various means were adopted to try their best to monitor the movements of Lingzhou party items, mainly the movements of Tuoba's brothers. Fortunately, Fu Yuanshan was indeed successful. With the full cooperation of He Jiatuan and Fang Ming, he adopted a work-for-relief approach, combining relief for the victims in the northwest with military campaigns, with the main method being pacification.
Even during the military campaign, the policy was to hand over the first offender without any threats. If they resist to the end, they will mobilize the army to attack directly, and the chaos in Shanxi's state capitals will gradually begin to subside. Pingyang Mansion, which was the first to be in chaos, has completely calmed down. The rest of the state capitals are also being gradually cleared. A divide-and-conquer approach was also adopted for the captured leaders of the rebellion.
In addition to killing the leader of Ningxiang County Duke Manmen, and more than a dozen key members were executed. Those who really had grievances were sentenced to exile or execution. But for those who fish in troubled waters, try to take advantage of this civil uprising to make a fortune, or commit really heinous crimes, whether they are local gentry, ordinary people, or leaders of civil disturbances, they will all be killed without mercy.
Because this person has been in office in Jingzhao Mansion, even though he has not been in office for a long time. But because of his iron fist in punishing those officials and officials who violated laws and disciplines, Fu Tie Fist got his name. At one time, he publicly ordered the heads of twenty-six such people in Pingyang Mansion. Moreover, Fu Yuanshan, who was personally in charge of Zezhou Prefecture, killed many people. A large number of similar people were killed in several state capitals where civil uprisings occurred.
The bloody heads on the walls of various state capitals frightened Shanxi officials and local gentry. No one dared to take advantage of the victims. The equal emphasis on iron blood and Xuanfu is the reason why Fu Yuanshan has made such rapid progress this time. The reason why the rioters who killed the Duke of Ningxiang were sentenced to death was because the Duke was a role model for the clan in how he treated the victims.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the court, the county prince chose to borrow food for the flood victims who poured into Zezhou Prefecture. As long as the victims write an unclear IOU, they can borrow a few kilos of food from him based on the number of people who have escaped from their homes. Although the IOUs stated that some interest would be charged, according to family members who escaped from the Ningxiang County Duke's Mansion, those IOUs had long been burned by the County Duke.
Because this kind-hearted Duke never thought about taking back the loaned grain. The so-called interest is just to deceive others. The murder of the Ningxiang County Duke was not just affected by the Shanxi Road Civil War. After Fu Yuanshan's investigation, it was found that someone killed the county prince because he blocked their way to make a fortune because of his kind deed.
