"Xuan De, continue to investigate. I need you to continue to investigate." Feng Ziying's words were full of determination and hints.
"If the problem of the Four Guards of Xi'an is not solved, the city of Xi'an will not be at peace."
"Yeah!" Chang Xuande was startled and his eyes fell on Feng Ziying,
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"The Four Guards of Xi'an are an opportunity to clean up the officialdom of Shaanxi. You should know that I have mainly focused on military affairs. Putting down the civil unrest in northern Shaanxi and the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain is the top priority. But to tell you the truth, northern Shaanxi The situation will end soon. The key lies in the eastern prefectures and counties of the Guanzhong Plain. The rebel army's offensive is fierce. The few guards in Xing'an Suo, Qinzhou Guard and Fengxiang Suo are very weak. The Tongzhou court has been lost. It is estimated that Hua Yin and Huazhou will not escape disaster, but Yaozhou and Weinan are my bottom line. If these two places also fall, the people of Xi'an will definitely be in chaos, and I, the governor, will have to bear the blame."
Feng Ziying spread her arms and said.
The eight censors of the Chaoyuan were headed by Xiong Jianqiu, a native of Shanxi, followed by Chang Xuande, a native of Huguang. Among the eight censors, four were from Beidi, three were from Huguang, and one was from Jiangxi.
Xiong Jianqiu was confident about Feng Ziying, so he had to convince Chang Xuande, a Huguang native, to support him, so that he could firmly hold the power of the censor of the Procuratorate in his hands.
With the support of the censor of the Procuratorate, he, as a governor, could become invincible in the officialdom, and even Lu Chuan would never be able to make waves again.
Similarly, if the censor of the procuratorate has his own support, he can also launch an attack on the chief envoys and the procuratorate, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, forcing the chief envoy and the procuratorate to do things according to their own plans, instead of setting up obstacles or Yang serves and Yin violates.
"I don't have much time to spend with some people like this. I must break this lukewarm situation of hello, me, and everyone. If you don't want to do it, get out. I will take down those who want to do bad things, otherwise I will postpone it until tomorrow. In the spring, if the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi resonates at the same frequency and chaos occurs, it will be difficult for me to deal with it. "
Chang Xuande has also been a censor for ten years. Naturally, he will not be easily moved by Feng Ziying's words. He pondered for a while and then said: "Sir, you have to bow to the Chief Envoy, or you have to ask Mr. Lu Pull him down? "
"Haha, you are really not shy about choosing virtue." Feng Ziying laughed, "Let's put it this way, if Lu Chuan is willing to cooperate with me to clean up the situation in Shaanxi, I will not hesitate to give him a decent chance to leave, but you Do you think he can agree to my terms? He has been working hard in Shaanxi for so many years, and he is in too deep. He is involved in the affairs of the Four Guards of Xi'an. The powerful gentry in many places are closely involved with him. The Inspector General has already taken it. It was just that Sun Yijie was too timid to fight and did not dare to lift the lid. To be blunt, his brother-in-law's monopoly on the Weihe River's first-line grain transportation business was enough to bring him to justice. He has fallen into the abyss. Is there less pressure from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report him? But he still doesn’t know how to love himself. You don’t know these things about moral selection, right? "
Chang Xuan is like Wu Yao, an envoy to the left market, a high-ranking official of the second rank, who was also dismissed because of Shi Erfeng's accusation? It’s not like there’s no one behind them.
Who doesn't know that the gifts given by Fang Congshu and Yanchuan to Fang Congmei and Fang Congchuan to Fang Congwo at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing and Fang's hometown in Ganqing had to be carried in big carts during the holidays? Who doesn't know?
It is the history of the right foot from far away. Liu Yibao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is not the same as the Isukawa. The exchanges between the two are also endless. The history of the right foot is really unworldly. Is it possible for a man with an iron head and a bronze necklace to become a green man?
"Sir, Xu Ke wants to test his loyalty. If he wants to be touched, the city of Xi'an will have to use ground cover, and it will probably cause an uproar in the court." Chang Xuan sighed.
"The city of Xi'an needs to be installed, so I am responsible for that! As for the Central Court, I have already been to Ye Xiang's place. He should understand my confusion. The situation in Shaanxi cannot be delayed. Just like Shanxi, it will be burned if it is delayed. In this case, if the DPRK does not take measures in time, Shanxi will be the next Shaanxi, and the situation will even last for a long time and spread to the Central Plains. Shaanxi is a border area, but Shanxi is a heartland. "
Feng Ziying's words did not reassure Chang Xuande, and he asked: "Did Xiang Ye reply to the letter?"
Feng Ziying shook her head, "Xuan De, you still don't trust me? How could Ye Xiang do such a thing?
Replying to the letter and saying that you know is already a big honor. At any rate, Mr. Fang’s appearance is not bad. When the time comes, he can help me slowly pray to Amitabha at Mr. Fang’s place. Mr. Fang also has a way to go. 「
If Feng Ziying said that there was a reply, Chang Xuande would not believe it, but when Feng Ziying said this, Chang Xuande believed it.
And he had no better choice. Xiong Jianqiu was definitely going to follow Feng Ziying, and the leader of his own village, Guan Yingzhen, strongly supported Feng Ziying. Now that Beidi and Huguang scholars were in alliance, there was no reason for him to hold back.
After thinking about it for a while, Chang Xuandecai said the most critical question: "My lord, there are many soldiers among the four guards. If they are picked on and cause chaos, the city of Xi'an cannot bear it."
"Xuan De, Guyuan Army has arrived at Muling Pass." Feng Ziying said with a smile.
"Ah?!" Chang Xuande was startled, and then realized that this person was still the right minister of the Ministry of War.
In the next few days, the censors of the Procuratorate became more and more aggressive. Many more officers were taken away and detained, and a series of local officials were implicated. The last line pointed to a person from the Chief Envoy. A senator, Chang Xuande came forward directly to announce his suspension pending review and undergo review.
Liu Mansion.
Liu Yuanpei paced back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back. He waited until there were footsteps in the front yard, then he couldn't wait to greet him: "How about it, Ziquan, what did the governor say?"
"The governor refuses to interfere with the procuratorate's investigation..." Ziquan said with a dejected face, "The procuratorate is trying to help people to dig up our roots. If this continues, those people below will be forced to come. Those who rebelled against us have rebelled against us.
"Humph, not only that, Mr. Lu will not give up. They have started to attack the people of the Chief Envoy. It is too obvious who this is aimed at. What is the governor going to do?"
Liu Yuanpei simply couldn't understand. Does Feng Ziying have to have a problem with Lu Chuan? Can’t we all live in harmony?
You want to overthrow Lu Chuan and make one family dominate. Will the court agree?
"What should we do now?" Qiu Ziquan gritted his teeth sometimes, and was dejected at other times, "We don't care about Mr. Lu for the time being. If the censor wants to disturb the chief envoy, we can't control him. He has the ability to go to the procuratorate to cause trouble, but our subordinates Those bastards are careless. Now they are making a big fuss. If they find out about us, we..."
Liu Yuanpei also had a sinister look on his face, "Feng Ziying gave us a trick. Instead of forcing us to go east to fight, he used the censor of the Procuratorate to investigate the case and deal with us. He only targeted the officers and left the soldiers alone. It's a good idea, how can it be so cheap? "
"Lao Liu, what should we do now?" Fang Ziquan was impatient, "We must take countermeasures, otherwise we will either become prisoners or become the victims of those people!"
"Just do whatever you have to do!" Liu Yuanpei lowered his lips, "Assign people to do things!"
Qiu Ziquan felt a little timid when he heard what Liu Yuanpei said, "For the censor of the Chaoyuan, it's better..."
Liu Yuanpei glared at Qiu Ziquan, "You are crazy. The governor is surrounded by countless martial arts masters and hundreds of personal soldiers. Ordinary people are looking for death. The censor might as well give you a warning."
"I'm afraid that won't be of much use." Qiu Ziquan immediately shook his head: "How could the governor give in just because the censors were warned? Do you think he is that kind of person?"
"Then what do you think?" Liu Yuanpei said hesitantly: "Mutiny? But if you can't control it and the lie becomes true, those bastards below will not recognize anyone."
Biao Ziquan also felt that it was difficult to handle. It was easy to fan out for a mutiny, but difficult to quell it. The key was that in the end, they might not be able to control the subordinates, especially when they felt that the censors were If it is aimed at them, it will be even more impossible to give up easily.
"Then can you find two more reliable ones and make them smaller? Then we will give them some benefits and just go to the governor's office and shout a few times and let them go back to the camp?" Qiu Ziquan said with gritted teeth: "No. In this case, I'm afraid the governor won't give up."
Liu Yuanpei rubbed his temples with some pain, "That's another deal.
Silver, if I don't have eight thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with the gang of bastards I have. 「
Biao Ziquan gritted his teeth: "I'll give you three thousand taels and let Lao Xie give you two thousand. If you pay three thousand, don't expect anything from Lao Chen. He has too much time to take care of himself now and is being watched closely by the censor... ..
"Let's do it like this. I'll arrange for the two troops to go to the streets to cause trouble. They go directly to the governor's office. You keep an eye on the governor's office and advise Feng Ziying not to act rashly. He has one or two hundred soldiers, all veterans of Datong. , Be sure to control yourself and not act recklessly, otherwise big trouble will happen. "Liu Yuanpei told Ziquan to dress up.
Qiu Ziquan nodded and stood up, then turned around and said hesitantly: "Lao Liu, I'm still a little worried. You have to be careful about how to operate this. Don't make it self-defeating. You must control it. , Don’t mess around. If you really go too far, it will cost people’s lives. "
Liu Yuanpei also knew the stakes inside, and sighed, "I understand, but these bastards have been a little unbalanced by the censors during this period, and I'm afraid they can't control them, so I have to go and keep an eye on them myself." If it doesn't work, I'll change into a soldier's uniform and explain the stakes to them. I just want to force the governor's office to stop the procuratorate. I have no other intention..."
