"Students have a way to make Governor Liu leave Datong." Xue Mu said with bright eyes.
When Yang Guozhu heard this, his eyes twitched slightly and asked, "What can I do?"
"Your Excellency, you can join forces with Yang and Wei. This person is backed by Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang can be said to be the think tank of the Donglin Party, and is led by Mr. Ye Ge to do things. As long as Yang and Wei are willing to cooperate with Your Excellency, if we join forces, we will be able to get Governor Liu away from Datong, and then it will be much easier to deal with Liu Heng and Tiger Flag," Xue Mu planned.
Yang Guozhu stroked his beard and frowned slightly.
Xue Mu added: "Are you worried that Yang and Wei are unwilling to join forces with us?"
"Although I have only met Pei Hong a few times, I can see that this man is arrogant and arrogant. Due to his status as the patrol censor, I do not take this general into consideration." Yang Guozhu's face was not very good. explain.
Since he lost his job as commander-in-chief, he only works as deputy commander-in-chief in Datong, and he obviously feels that his power is not as good as before.
Xue Mu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, sir. When Yang and Wei are defeated, they will naturally ask you for help. I won't be afraid that he won't agree."
He looked confident.
"Since Mr. Xue is so confident, I will just wait and see how this Pei Hong gets hit all over his head." Yang Guozhu stroked his beard.
Pei Hong, who was far away in Yanghewei, didn't know that Yang Guozhu had plotted against him.
At this time, he was riding on the road to Datong in a carriage with his long follower Pei Shun.
In Datong official circles, not many people knew about Liu Heng's resignation, but to Liu Hong, the governor of Datong, it was no secret at all. Even the news that the imperial court approved Liu Heng's resignation was known to others before others.
"Dong Weng, General Liu from Xinpingbao is here to visit you." Du Wanyuan came to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong's hand holding the lid of the cup was suspended in the air. He frowned slightly and said, "Why is he here?"
"The students think that his coming here this time should be related to his resignation. After all, without his official status, there is no guarantee that no one will be eyeing the Tiger Flag's industry." Du Wanyuan guessed.
Liu Hong shook his head slightly and said: "You are wrong about this. When Liu Heng was just the proprietor of a business in Lingqiu, he dared to commit treason. Now he has just lost his hat. So, There was no loss of the Tiger Flag."
"Just because you think so, Dong Weng, doesn't mean that others think so too. There are always some blind people who are thinking about getting something from Tiger Flag." Du Wanyuan said softly.
Liu Hong pursed his lips and said: "It's a pity that this person hates Senior Official Wei. Otherwise, with Senior Official Wei's support, others would have to take a look at Senior Official Wei's attitude even if they want to deal with the Tiger Flag."
"Someone wants to deal with the Tiger Flag. From the student's point of view, it is actually a good thing. It makes General Liu understand his current situation, and it will also make it easier for Dong Weng to complete the things assigned by Wei Senior Officer earlier." Du Wanyuan said with a smile.
"hope so!"
Liu Hong is not as confident as Du Wanyuan.
He has been an official for many years and has seen too many people and things. As early as when the official Wei sent a message asking him to find a way to collect and pay the Tiger Flag, he didn't have much confidence.
If Liu Heng was really so easy to deal with, he wouldn't be alive until now. He might have died countless times in Lingqiu.
"Dong Weng, should we let General Liu in first?" Du Wanyuan reminded.
Liu Hong nodded and said, "Go and bring Liu Heng to see me personally. Remember, don't look down on him just because he is about to lose his hat."
"Student understands." Du Wanyuan agreed, turned around and retreated.
Outside the yamen gate, there were several small sedan chairs and horses riding by military commanders.
Every day, officials would come here to visit Liu Hong, the governor of Datong. Many times, these people had no chance to enter the yamen to see Liu Heng.
Even so, these officials would come here to keep watch whenever they could, trying their luck.
"General Liu, the Governor has invited you." Du Wanyuan stood at the gate of the yamen and made a gesture to Liu Heng outside to invite him in.
"We have Mr. Lao Du." Liu Heng clasped his fists towards Du Wanyuan.
In the envious eyes of other officials at the Yamen Gate, Liu Heng followed Du Wanyuan into the Yamen Gate.
"The governor first heard the news of General Liu's resignation, but he regretted it for a long time. He also said that a capable general like General Liu should be reused." Du Wanyuan, who walked in side by side with Liu Heng, sighed with a look on his face. explain.
Liu Heng, who was standing next to him, said politely: "The governor has given you too much praise. I really cannot afford such praise."
"General Liu is too humble." Du Wanyuan said, "General Liu stationed at Xinping Fort and helped the imperial court expand its borders for dozens of miles. What a great achievement it is. Such a contribution cannot be overstated."
Liu Heng smiled and shook his head, and said: "The credit for expanding the border is the work of the governor and the commander-in-chief together with the officials from Datong. How dare I take such a greedy contribution?"
"This is an explanation to the court. It doesn't count. Who in Datong doesn't know that this contribution was made by General Liu alone." Du Wanyuan praised from the side.
Liu Heng shook his head slightly, no longer discerning.
Given his status, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for him and Hu Ziqi if he really wanted to take the credit of Tuabian.
He was already a guerrilla general, and with the merit of Tuobian, promotion became inevitable, otherwise it would not be enough to reward him.
As a guerrilla general, he will further become a staff general or a commander of a guard post. At this level, before taking office, he must go to Beijing to meet the emperor and wait until he is appointed by the emperor.
It would be a good thing to be the general of any other border town.
But he was different. He was just a bandit leader who was recruited, and his wealth was not clean enough. It was destined that he would not be trusted and reused by the court.
Once you enter the capital to meet the Holy Spirit, even if you can leave the capital smoothly, you will not be able to stay in Datong. The most likely possibility is to go to Liaodong to work.
When you arrive in Liaodong, life and death will be in the hands of others.
Therefore, he will never allow himself to be promoted. Guerrilla general is already the limit for him. As for those achievements, he doesn't care at all. The tiger-shaped flag is his foundation.
"Actually, General Liu, you don't need to resign to prove your innocence. The elders in the court can tell whether the rumors in the capital are true or false, and they will definitely restore General Liu's innocence." Du Wanyuan said as he walked.
Fight the injustice for Liu Heng.
Liu Heng smiled and said: "I'm just a businessman. I'm not good at official duties at all. I can be said to be trembling in office every day, for fear of making any mistakes. Now that I can resign and become a businessman, I'll do it right." That’s actually a good thing.”
"Others have fought so hard to become an official, but General Liu can look away like this. It really puts me to shame." Du Wanyuan bowed his hand towards Liu Heng.
Although he is not an official, as a staff member of the governor, he is still in the officialdom. If it were him, he would not be able to bear the black gauze hat on his head.
