Cheng Chumo and Li Chengcheng did a great deed, escorting those who were misbehaving.
They happened to run into the messenger arranged by Xu Yunyan to explore the situation with them.
After explaining the situation again, the two people clapped their hands.
"I just said we did the right thing!"
"Yeah, that's right!"
They didn't expect that the two people who didn't like each other at first would actually come to a tacit understanding because of these things, and the two of them didn't care that their tacit understanding came so suddenly. They put their arms around each other and happily discussed how to take their captive to meet Li Chengqian. Converging roads.
After Li Chengcheng and the others returned, Tang Army cavalry galloped through many places in various counties and cities. After ascertaining the situation, the information was gathered into the hands of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian hates that.
"The governor of Fuzhou deserves to die, and all his subordinates deserve to die. His Majesty finally managed to arrange such a benevolent government, but they actually acted against it.
They are still extorting money and taxes in the name of the imperial court. How can they do such petty things? I will never let him have an easy time, I will execute him and bring justice to the people! "
Li Chengqian was furious here, and Xu Yunyan stood next to him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is so kind. I never thought that so many officials in the Fuzhou Prefecture would be so impudent and regard His Majesty's benevolent government as a means for them to make money????????????????
No matter how His Highness the Crown Prince arranges it, he will definitely handle this matter properly, and he will bear all the consequences. "
Now Li Chengqian will not say anything more to Xu Yunyan here after he expresses his views. Li Chengqian has already made up his mind. As long as Xu Yunyan's life is not threatened, sooner or later he will ascend the throne. At that time, Xu Yunyan's good days will come. It's no big deal to be granted the title of Marquis or Prime Minister.
"Thank you for everything, Master."
A simple sentence made Xu Yunyan very happy, and he nodded hurriedly and walked out to prepare what he should do, while Li Chengqian looked at the sketched map of Fuzhou and muttered to himself.
"Fuzhou Governor, I don't know who you are. How dare you violate my father's benevolent policy like this? Is there anyone else involved? Although I don't know, but since you are involved, I won't let you. Better off."
Li Chengqian had a lot of doubts there, and thinking that the Fuzhou governor could not be allowed to go unpunished no matter what, he immediately mobilized officers and soldiers of the nearby Jiang Fangguo Navy on a large scale to occupy cities in various places.
"For Datang, I can only do this."
Li Chengqian made a decision and resolutely arranged for manpower to be dispatched. Even if there is a strong suspicion that he will not deal with Li Shimin.
The county magistrates from various places were still here and didn't know why. Suddenly, the Tang army appeared out of nowhere and occupied the city. Although they were all under the banner of the Tang army, they were still shocked.
Especially the captain of Fuzhou Zhechong Prefecture looked at the reports of his men.
"Report to the general!"
The captain of Fuzhou Zhechong Prefecture, a relatively decent man, was looking at the book in his hand and asked his subordinates.
"Why are you so anxious?"
"Lord Captain. The Tang army came from nowhere and took over the surrounding counties. What should we do?"
"What? The Tang army appeared out of nowhere and took over the county. What's going on?"
Lin Shun, the captain of Fuzhou Zhechong Prefecture, looked at his confidant who came to report in confusion, and this confidant was not very sure about what he said.
"It seems to be the manpower of the navy, but I don't know why this navy is supposed to be conquering the Japanese country, so it suddenly came here to occupy our city.
Although the Tang Army said it was an order, we did not get an order from the Ministry of War to station the navy here! "
Lin Shun touched his chin after hearing his confidant's explanation.
"Are we going to set up a navy camp in my Fuzhou? Their Qiongzhou is a bit far away from the Japanese state. Although my Fuzhou is not close to the Japanese state, it is much closer than that Qiongzhou. It should be no problem as a transit station. Right?"
But as soon as Lin Shun finished speaking, he became even more curious here.
"But by doing this, they are a bit seeking the far side. Didn't I hear that Chuzhou is already building naval warships?"
Lin Shun was still talking to himself, but his confidant slapped his head.
"General, is it true that our Fuzhou is between Qiongzhou and Chuzhou, and they chose a position in the middle?"
"That makes sense."
Lin Shun was talking here, but as soon as he said these words, a garrison guarding the door came to report.
"Lord Protector, Sir Governor, please see me."
"Provincial Governor? What is he here for?"
When Lin Shun heard that it was the governor of Fuzhou and his elder brother Lin Shuo came to visit, his expression was a little unnatural.
"This guy deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates. If I hadn't done it for the sake of my family's reputation, I would have impeached him long ago. How dare he come to visit me?"
However, Lin Shun looked down on his elder brother Lin Shuo, but the messenger was embarrassed and said soft words.
"General, the Governor said...said..."
Lin Shun looked at his trusted messenger who was hesitating here and waved helplessly.
"It's not difficult for you, just tell me anything."
"It's General ???????????????! The governor said that if you don't see him, the Lin family will be in trouble. I hope the general can meet and discuss some countermeasures."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shun snorted coldly.
"Now that he knows how to discuss countermeasures with me, it would be better if I told him not to act recklessly. If the incident happens and he comes to me, will he still ask me to raise an army to rebel?"
But just when he thought of this, Lin Shun's heart skipped a beat.
"I think I know what's going on."
After Lin Shun said something, his confidants looked at him in shock.
"General, what do you mean is that the governor's incident has happened? The army from the imperial court has taken over the county and wants to attack us. What should we do? If not, I can sneak a letter outside the city and go to the capital to complain. What do you think of these illegal things done by the general brother to the general of the imperial court?"
Lin Shun, who was struggling here, sighed and still wanted to struggle.
"Don't be so anxious. We don't know what's going on yet. Let's wait a moment."
Just after Lin Shun temporarily appeased his confidant and asked him to retreat and do his own business, the confidant looked in the direction of Lin Shuo and gritted his teeth.
"General, you are good at everything, but you can't let go of some things for your family. I am a subordinate for your own good and for you not to be dragged down, so I have to apologize."
After muttering this, his confidant turned around and left Zhe Chong Mansion, heading north.
After the guard at Lin Shun's door asked his brother, the governor, to come in, the governor walked in swaggeringly.
"Brother, now we have reached a critical moment of life and death for our Lin family."
Lin Shun looked at Lin Shuo and mocked.
"Are you still afraid? You don't even care if I advise you. Now that you know what's the use of being afraid, is it possible that now that you know you are afraid, I can help you solve this problem? I don't seem to have such great ability. !”
Lin Shun laughed self-deprecatingly, and Lin Shuo looked at him, "There is a way, you must have a way, as long as you gather your Zhe Chong Mansion soldiers together..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Lin Shun said directly, "If you want me to do something that will harm the country and the people, don't even think about it."
"When did I tell you to do something that would harm the country and the people?"
Lin Shuo looked at Lin Shun and said here.
"You also know that what I do is not for me, but for the big bosses in the court. As long as the big bosses in the court have money and can ascend the throne, everything we do will be defined as no problem.
As for us, we can just go to other places to serve as officials at that time. At most, we can compensate these people before leaving. Moreover, they have been living like this for so many years, and we have not made it too difficult for them, so why bother? Why can't you think about yourself so much? "
Lin Shuo persuaded Lin Shun boldly, and Lin Shun looked at him.
"I'll say it again, you don't want me to do such illegal things. The most I can do is not report you."
"Haha, interesting, do you know who is coming to Fuzhou now? The person coming to Fuzhou is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"What? Your Highness, how did you know that?"
"Since they entered the first county, someone in this county has rushed to report to me. They have discovered my affairs in Fuzhou. Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will listen to your explanation as the captain of Zhechong Prefecture?
Will not! He will only count you as my accomplice, and then catch you all in one fell swoop. Needless to say, at that time, our entire Lin family will have no way to survive. "
The governor Lin Shuo was talking proudly here, and Lin Shun's face was very ugly.
"So what? I have a clear conscience. I don't believe that His Highness the Crown Prince would deal with me without knowing it."
"You still have too little contact with the powerful."
Lin Shun was unmoved, and Lin Shuo was going to persuade him again, "As long as you arrange for some soldiers to pretend to be robbers and attack His Highness the Crown Prince, then who will I stand in the court??????????" ??????Isn’t it obvious to His Highness the Crown Prince?
And this is our master. As long as he really becomes the prince, do you think we will still have problems? Even if he is temporarily assigned, won't our lord be bullied into a feudal official again after he ascends the throne as emperor?
】
We also want to make our family live better, do you think this is feasible? "
Lin Shuo was fooling Lin Shun, and Lin Shun looked at him with a very ugly face: "What you did was unethical. How could you do such a thing? How many people would have accidents like this?"
Lin Shun looked at Lin Shuo and was filled with indignation and wanted to refuse, but Lin Shuo grabbed Lin Shun's ribs with one sentence.
"Don't you care about the Lin family? Our Lin family is a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. If it really declines, how can you have the face to see our ancestors again?"
But before Lin Shun could say anything, someone else came.
Lin Shun looked anxious as the messenger rushed in and was still panting.
"What's wrong? Why did you rush in suddenly? Didn't you see what the Governor and I were saying here?"
The messenger said tremblingly.
"Lord Captain, it's not that the young ones are not coming in, but that a big shot from the court is here."
"A big shot in the court? Could it be that the Crown Prince is here?"
Lin Shun was startled and suddenly stood up from his seat. Even when Lin Shuo came over just now, he was sitting there without even looking at Lin Shuo.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shuo spoke next to him.
"This is an opportunity. There are definitely not many of them. They want to take over your Zhechong Mansion out of righteousness. As long as you kill them..."
But he hadn't finished speaking yet. The messenger looked at him in horror, not knowing what to say for a moment, but Lin Shun waved his hand.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, hurry up and tell me what's going on?"
"General! Here comes the champion general of the day, the champion marquis."
"What? Champion? That's a name that resonates with my ears."
Although they are familiar with the Champion of the Han Dynasty, they do not know the Champion of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is news that someone has been named the Champion, they do not know him.
"Champion Hou? How is it possible? How could it be him?"
Although Lin Shun didn't know who the champion was, Lin Shuo seemed to know that Lin Shuo was shocked by the name and was speechless.
Finally, when Lin Shun was about to ask what was going on, Lin Shuo sighed.
"What should we do? This champion started in the army and has been undefeated in dozens of battles. Now he has brought the power of destroying the country. If such a person comes here, my Lin family will be put to rest!"
