Of course Gao Wuzhen couldn't answer this question yet, but he didn't intend to hide it, so he said directly: "This matter is still in the verification stage, but there is already a solid evidence. I believe it won’t take long for the results to be obtained.”
Gao pragmatically answered this, and Master Cen Qi knew something in his heart. He thought to himself: It seems that Gao pragmatically is indeed investigating this matter, but it is too late for him to come to Guangxi after all. I am afraid that this matter has just begun, but the current problem The problem is that Zhang Ren's time is running out.
Although Cen Qi Gongzi is not very clear about the factions in the court, at least one thing is clear now: Zhang Ren advocates returning the Bazhai area to native land, and although Gao Pangshi has not made a clear stance at the moment, Liuzhou has released Rumors indicate that he probably supports reforming his country and returning to his hometown, and now there is another piece of evidence, that is, he is investigating the "cause" of Zhang Ren, that is, the poisonous poisoning incident.
From this, it can be inferred that Gao's pragmatic attitude should be consistent with Zhang Ren. In other words, he and Zhang Ren are comrades on the same front.
Although the ownership of the Bazhai area is important, the outside world believes that neither the Cen family nor the Huang family will tolerate the exile of officials in the Bazhai area. But Master Cen Qi himself knew that he could completely abandon the Bazhai area.
Because conditions do not allow him to persist!
That day at the meeting of the four chieftains by Longshou Lake, the reason why he was able to restrain his emotions and let the Zhao family supported by Huang Zhiting obtain his approval was because the conditions did not allow it.
The Cen family in Sicheng was in danger of collapse, so how could they care about the land of eight villages?
After all, the Bazhai area was originally controlled by the Danwei south of the imperial court in name, but in fact it was almost the Yao people who were self-governing. Is there even a trace of Liangjiang chieftains here?
The most critical issue why the chieftains of Liangjiang were not happy with the direct administration of the Bazhai by the imperial court was that they did not want to see the imperial power further expand in Guangxi. However, the situation was different now. The Cen family in Sicheng was in a mess, so how could they control the big ones? The land of Bazhai a hundred miles away?
To put it bluntly, the Bazhai Land is just one state. If the imperial court has one more state and one less state, does it really have such a big impact? Isn't this too alarmist? As long as the imperial court still believes that it is not cost-effective to directly govern the Youjiang area and that chieftains are needed to suppress the area without causing more trouble to the imperial court, the imperial court will not forcibly promote this kind of official transfer to the Youjiang area.
In the final analysis, the court's thinking is actually understood by both parties: to nibble, not to swallow.
Although swallowing a whale sounds majestic, it can actually choke someone to death!
In Guangxi, the total taxes paid by the entire province are not as high as those of Suzhou alone. But what is the cost of the imperial court ruling Suzhou? How much money has the imperial court spent in Guangxi each year over the years?
Suzhou Prefecture pays almost 300,000 taels in regular taxes a year, but what about Guangxi? Now it costs three hundred thousand taels a year!
This was still under the circumstances when the imperial court only directly governed half of Guangxi. If the chieftains were forcibly annexed and all of them were repatriated, not to mention 300,000 taels, even 600,000 taels would be unstoppable, and even one million taels a year would be unstoppable. It is not impossible to use it as military pay to suppress the Guangxi government!
Guangxi sending out good soldiers is really no joke. Not only Cen Ling and other Guangxi chieftains know this, but Gao Pragmatic actually knows it better than them!
Gao Pangshi had attended a party school before. He knew that during the War of Liberation, a general with great military exploits and "specialized in fighting magical wars" had given such instructions to his subordinates: "It is necessary to distinguish which of the Kuomintang troops are elite units. First, look at the equipment. Those with American equipment must be elite troops. Second, look at the accent. Troops with Guangxi accent must also be elite troops. If they have both American equipment and Guangxi accent, they will definitely be the most elite among the Kuomintang troops. "
If this is not enough to explain the problem, then the famous Dabie Mountain army has a clear combat idea to prove it: attack the miscellaneous army first, then the Central Army, and avoid the Gui Army.
The most interesting thing is that among the 18 warriors who were forced to cross the Dadu River by the Red Army, 16 were from Guangxi. Among the 22 warriors who flew to capture the Luding Bridge, 17 were from Guangxi.
So from the perspective of governance, the general direction is to maintain stability in Guangxi, because when trouble breaks out... put aside everything else, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be the first to bleed!
Anyway, judging from the current situation, Tongren Tusi generally listens to greetings! The wolf soldiers recruited them as they were told, and they brought their own dry food for the expedition without even paying them. Why should they force such easy-to-use subordinates to rebel?
Therefore, Cen Ling was very confident that even if he did not fight for the Bazhai territory, the imperial court would not underestimate the role of the chieftain and abandon the chieftain all at once to completely change the status quo.
Besides, he had already given in to Huang Zhiting. Even if the imperial court had direct jurisdiction over Bazhai, Huang Zhiting should not be the first to be unhappy. Why was he anxious?
Of course, he didn't know about the agreement reached between Huang Zhiting and the Zhao family. Huang Zhiting actually didn't care much about the land of Bazhai, Longzhou, which she wanted.
Cen Qi Gongzi had a sad face and said: "Futai, Futai's condition cannot be delayed any longer... I think it is necessary to find out the truth as early as possible."
Gao pragmatic just wanted to tell Cen Ling, don't think that without you, I can't find the problem. Cen Ling's answer is that it is more efficient with me.
Now that the bottom line is clear, we can have a good talk. Gao Pingshi smiled and said, "Well, what Young Master Cen said makes sense. In that case, Young Master Seven might as well tell you who is causing trouble... As for Young Master Seven, before Of course I will also help with what I said."
After all, Gao Pragmatic was also the Sixth Number One Scholar and a close minister of the emperor. Cen Ling still believed in his credibility for the time being. Now that he said this, Cen Ling had to believe it, so he said: "The Gu in Futaizhong was the one sent by Mo Chao that time. Someone among the ministers has tampered with it."
Gao Jingshi's pupils shrank slightly and asked: "How did the Seventh Young Master know?"
Cen Qi Gongzi did not hide anything, and said: "The chieftain of the Mo family in Xincheng has always been close to my Cen family, and they and the Mo Dynasty... well, they were the same clan in the past. They have some contact and know some inside information."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: You, Mr. Cen Qi, are a bit ruthless when it comes to betraying your teammates. This piece of news alone is enough for the court to serve Mo's toast in one pot.
However, he may have misunderstood Cen Ling, because Cen Ling immediately answered: "When the Mo family heard the news, they were greatly shocked, and they did not dare to risk betraying their fellow clan members by reporting the news to Futai and Yingtai, so they had to tell the news Tell your subordinates, who will convey it to them..."
Mo's Chieftain only had Xincheng County, Gao Pragmatic didn't take it seriously, but he might as well give Cen Ling some face, and waved his hands indifferently: "Since they didn't report the matter without knowing it, this matter could have been temporarily ignored. No investigation.”
"But." Gao Pragmatic suddenly came to a turning point: "What I can't understand is that even if Mo family and Mo Chao are from the same clan, after all they have been separated for many years, how can Mo Chao let Mo family do such a treacherous thing? Does the chieftain know?"
Cen Qi Gongzi explained: "My subordinates are about to report this matter. The reason why Chieftain Mo is so anxious is because they were deceived by Mo Chao in this matter, and they inadvertently did a bad thing."
Gao Pragmatic frowned: "What do you mean by this? What did they do?"
Cen Qi Gongzi sighed and said: "In the previous rebellion in the Eight Villages, although my heavenly soldiers achieved brilliant results and defeated the rebel bandits in the Eight Villages in one fell swoop, there were still many powerful figures among the Yao people in the Eight Villages who fled, among them Someone concealed his identity, pretended to be a Yao from other areas, and fled to nearby Xincheng County. There were several people here who could use Yao Gu, and they were taken in by the Mo family... Later, Mo Chao got the news for some reason, I tried to find a way to find a way to get a few from the Mo family, but Mo family gave them up for the sake of fellow clan members."
Gao Jingshi no longer needs him to make up the rest of the story - this is obviously Mo Chao spending money to buy a few poison masters from Mo's Chieftain to harm Zhang Ren. Mo's Chieftain is either pretending not to know, or Simply don't report what you know and let Mo Chao do whatever he wants. Of course, it's also possible that they didn't expect Mo Chao to do such a big deal.
It's just that there is a very critical issue here that cannot be explained.
Gao pragmatic interrupted Mr. Cen Qi and asked: "We don't need to talk about Chieftain Mo's fault for now. What I can't figure out right now is Mo Chao. Did they take the wrong medicine? The so-called 'King Qian' who is in charge of his own army." Mo Jingdian just died of illness, and instead of guarding Li Chao from taking advantage of the situation, they came to tease my Ming Dynasty's tiger beard. Are they worried that his death will not be miserable enough?"
