A small boat, traveling alone on the river.
A handsome young man, a stranger in the world.
Huang Ziliu left alone in a boat, feeling lonely from a distance.
Li Xuan stood on the deck, her face turned slightly cold at some point.
"I can see that you seem to be in a bad mood." A familiar crisp voice sounded from behind Li Xuan.
"It's weird to be in a good mood after being treated like a fool." Li Xuan didn't even need to turn around to know that the person standing behind him must be Liang Fuling.
Wearing a green willow skirt, the petite Liang Fuling stepped forward and stood side by side with Li Xuan, her thin body completely hidden by Li Xuan's tall figure.
Li Xuan still didn't look at her, but said lightly: "Du Liu, Huang Ziliu, these brothers-in-law are really afraid that others will not know their relationship with the Liu family."
Everything is because of the word "Liu", the Liu of the Liu family, and the Liu of Liu Xi.
Liu Shi, the uncle of Empress Wang whom Empress Wu hated the most in her life.
The Liu family was even more disgusting to Empress Wu than the Wang family.
"If they agree, they will come; if they don't, they will go." Liang Fuling looked at Li Xuan in surprise and asked with some confusion: "Since you don't like them so much, just let them leave."
"It's not that simple. They actually did it on purpose. For some things, I am choosing them, and they are also choosing me. Each has the chips that the other needs, so cooperation becomes inevitable." Li Xuan turned around. Turning around, the hesitation in his expression disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Looking at Liang Fuling, Li Xuan said calmly: "It is easier to be accepted by others if you show your emotions to others occasionally."
"You did it on purpose." Liang Fuling looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
Li Xuan shook her head and said, "It's not intentional, it's just that I noticed something was wrong a long time ago."
When Huang Ziming's identity was exposed, the name Huang Ziliu had already appeared in front of Li Xuan.
He really didn't think much about it at first, but when he accidentally put the names Huang Ziliu and Du Liu together, he instantly realized something was wrong.
Du Bixing and Huang Jin's children both have the character Liu in their names, and both of them are brothers-in-law, which only means that they are both sons-in-law of the Liu family.
Why did Du Bixing, who was born in the Jingzhao Du family, still hang around here after resigning from Wuzhou Sima?
The fundamental reason is not for the inheritance of his family and the Tianyin Sect. The real situation is that he has nowhere to go.
If an official of his level returns to Beijing, he will inevitably be noticed by the emperor and empress.
If someone accidentally reminds him of his relationship with the Liu family, he will die and his family will be destroyed.
So the simplest way is to live in the southeast and not show up easily.
But they were unwilling to continue to lurk and wanted to return to the court.
The current Tianyin Sect uprising is their best help.
But how dare they? Aren't they afraid of the Queen of Heaven?
A trace of doubt arose in Li Xuan's heart.
Laijia, Laijia should know Du Bixing's identity, but they still chose to help. After all, in terms of blood, the Du family and the Huang family are far away from the Liu family.
"Yes, there is no Liu family. As long as the Huang family and the Du family are willing to stay dormant, they still have a place in this world, but they are unwilling to do so." Li Xuan shook her head slightly and said with a wry smile: "If they really take advantage of this If the incident arises, it is inevitable that I will be called over by the Queen of Heaven and scolded."
"Then are you willing?" Liang Fuling turned her head and looked at Li Xuan, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Everything should be done according to the rules." Li Xuan's face became serious, and he looked at the broad river in the distance and said: "If they really made a special contribution to this matter, then there is nothing wrong with me recommending it to the Queen and Your Majesty. It's just that I hope everyone will not look at the current war too simply."
The Du family and the Huang family only see the center of the court, Li Xuan is just their springboard, if they really want to be here
It depends on whether Li Xuan is willing to step on it.
Previously, Huang Ziliu had revealed the idea of serving under Li Xuan, but Li Xuan changed the subject without waiting for him to bring it up.
With Du Liu, Li Xuan might be able to explain to the Queen of Heaven his ignorance, but if Huang Ziliu is added, then he has a hundred mouths and can't explain clearly.
This time around the Tianyin Sect's uprising, I don't know how many people saw the opportunity, and it wasn't just Du Bixing and Huang Ziliu who took action.
The Tianyin Sect is not a soft persimmon. They even dare to assassinate Wang Fanglin, the governor of Wuzhou. There is nothing else they dare not do.
"Before, Huang Ziliu once said that after the night attack, they searched the whole city and didn't catch the last trace. This is interesting." A slight smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.
"Have you thought of something?" Liang Fuling looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
"Don't say it, don't say it." Li Xuan waved her hands lightly, but a confident smile appeared on her face.
"Pu Ling Leng..." In mid-air, a carrier pigeon fell from the sky, and then landed on Li Zhu's arm on one side.
Li Zhu quickly took out the secret letter inside and handed it to Li Xuan without even looking at it.
Li Xuan read the letter and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "The person who should be there has finally arrived. Wuzhou Southeast can feel at ease from now on."
"Who should be here?" Liang Fuling looked at Li Xuan with some confusion.
Li Xuan sends and receives countless secret messages all day long, and no one knows what he is planning every day.
"You'll see it right away!" Li Xuan glanced at the river in the distance, turned to look at Cheng Yan who was standing behind him, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Ji's room, go and prepare all the things that need to be prepared. Okay, I’ll need it later.”
"Follow the order!" Cheng Yan, who was wearing a blue robe, immediately agreed with his hand.
Li Xuan turned her head to look at Liang Fuling and said with a smile: "I am going to change my clothes, will Xianmei go?"
"Get lost!" Liang Fuling rolled her eyes at Li Xuan angrily. Li Xuan immediately smiled and turned around to enter the cabin.
Liang Fuling stood on the deck and looked up into the distance. A small caravan finally appeared at the end of Liang Fuling's sight, another part of their group.
When Li Xuan arrived in Dongyang, two of the three official ships were left, one of Li Xuan's own and one of the government soldiers led by Zhou Shen.
The remaining official ships carrying Chen Ling, Meng Jie, Yin Sizhen, Qiqiao, Xu Waner and others arrived at Dongyi Pass first along with the two merchant ships of the Wei family.
In addition to bringing Li Xuan's order to seal the checkpoint, they were also protected by Guanding so that they would not be threatened by the Tianyin Sect.
Soon, several ships had gathered together. As Li Xuan and others arrived at Dongyi Pass, Qiu Zhenmu passed down Li Xuan's order.
Soon, the level was opened, and several giant river-locking iron chains dragging across the river were all pulled back in an instant.
As soon as I left Dongyi Pass, I immediately saw dozens of large and small merchant ships docked on one side of the river.
Seeing Dongyi Pass suddenly open, these people were in a daze, but soon, the notification of the switch came over.
Dozens of official ships finally began to move slowly, passing through Dongyi Pass and heading towards Dongyang.
"Thousands of sails have passed, and hundreds of ships have fought against each other!"
On the hills not far away, Li Xuan stood and stopped, watching the merchant ships heading towards Dongyang, Hangzhou and Yuezhou. He nodded with all his thoughts in mind. At this moment, Qiu Zhenmu's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Dongyi Pavilion has arrived."
"Yeah!" Li Xuan turned around and saw a small eight-sided pavilion not far away.
At this moment, there were several people waiting in the pavilion, and further away, several teams of police officers wearing very similar clothes were waiting below.
Li Xuan strode towards Dongyi Pavilion. As soon as he entered the pavilion, several people waiting inside handed over their hands at the same time: "Xiaguan Yiwu County Magistrate Feng Zhengyue, Pujiang County Magistrate Zhang Kui, Pan'an County Magistrate Liao Bo, Yongkang County Magistrate County magistrate Xi Yu has met Shangguan!"
"No gifts!" Li Xuan nodded, then walked into Dongyi Pavilion, and finally stood in front of
In front of everyone, he sat down directly on the stone bench.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the tall and thin Feng Zhengyue, the burly Zhang Kui, the plump Liao Bo, and the lean Xi Yu. He nodded and said with a serious face: "What happened in Dongyang recently, four You must have heard about it, right?"
Yiwu County Magistrate Feng Zhengyue took the lead and took a step forward, cupping his hands in front of Li Xuan and saying, "Although Xiaguan and others have heard something, they don't know much."
"It doesn't matter!" Li Xuan waved his hand and looked at the four people and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the secret work of the Tianyin Sect hidden in the Dongyang government office was caught, the case of Dongyang Sihu joining the army was destroyed, and I killed another person. The elite of the Tianyin Sect who infiltrated into Dongyang from the main altar have slightly reorganized the rules for this summer's harvest, that's all, and it seems like they can't do much in three days."
"Shangguan Yingming!" Feng Zhengyue, Zhang Kui, Liao Bo and Xi Yu all looked awe-inspiring at the same time, with solemn expressions on their faces as they handed over their hands!
"You don't need to be so polite." Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "You are all busy, and I have to rush to the city immediately, so I will make a long story short now."
Li Xuan reached out to her side, and Cheng Yan, dressed as a man, had already placed several official documents inside Li Xuan.
Li Xuan placed the first official document in front of the four people, and then said calmly: "This official document was jointly written by me and the Dongyang County Magistrate. It is a report about what happened in Dongyang. After arriving in the city, I will It will be handed over to the Governor Wang. After the Governor Wang has reviewed it, he will sign it and deposit it with me, and then it will be sent to the center. The four of them will look at it first, and each of them will take a copy away."...
Feng Zhengyue immediately picked up the official document and read it in detail. The information contained in it was much stronger than the simple few words Li Xuan had said before.
After Feng Zhengyue read it, he said with a serious face: "Although I guessed that the Tianyin Sect was quite powerful, I didn't expect it to reach such an extent."
Li Xuan nodded and said: "The four of you have an idea. Next, I will pass on my official order. After the counties return, they will immediately check the interior of their respective government offices to see if they have been infiltrated by the Tianyin Sect, how much has been infiltrated, and whether they can do it on their own. Clear it out. If you can, take action directly. If you can't, go to Wenzhou Yamen and I will send people to support immediately."
"I accept my order!" None of Feng Zhengyue and the other four dared to show any signs of neglect.
The Tianyin Sect obviously wants to take advantage of the summer harvest season to launch a big attack. If they really dare to ignore it, they will die without knowing it.
Li Xuan gently pushed a new official document in front of Feng Zhengyue. What was written on it was exactly what Li Xuan said just now.
"My second order." After a brief pause, Li Xuan said with a serious face: "Order all counties to strictly investigate the loans and subsidies of the major wealthy families after returning home. If there are any violations, they will be dealt with severely!"
"I obey the order!" Feng Zhengyue and the others knew in their hearts that Li Xuan was worried that there would be a wealthy family in their county that was completely controlled by the Tianyin Sect like the Liu family.
"My third order!" Li Xuan raised her head, looked at the mountains and hills behind the three of them, and said in a cold voice: "From now on, throughout Wuzhou, when collecting taxes, we must strictly enforce the law of pouring and kicking dendrobium trees. Forbidden, I will not care about it from now on. This year, during the autumn and summer harvests, we will not allow any harsh treatment of the people. Once a civil uprising is triggered, everyone, prepare to kill yourself!"
The expressions on the faces of Feng Zhengyue and the other four people were extremely embarrassed. How could they not know that the Tianyin Sect was about to start an uprising.
Li Xuan's current methods are to avoid intensifying conflicts as much as possible and leave room for relaxation.
In this way, the people will not be forced into a desperate situation, and naturally they will not easily start a rebellion with He Tianyin's group of people.
"Your Majesty, I can obey this order, but once the Tianyin Sect forces an uprising, it will be difficult for me and others to stop it under the attack of soldiers!" Feng Zhengyue had a trace of bitterness on his face.
"This is the last order of the day!" Li Xuan looked at the four of them with a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth: "I am now the commander of the Kuaiji Prefecture, Guo Yi, and I have the power to recruit troops. When you go back, you will select ten Bring the best and most capable local nobles to the city, and then you can recruit soldiers within the territory to defend your homeland."
When Li Xuan said what he said, the eyes of the four people present suddenly lit up.
Li Xuan's technique was very ingenious, and he immediately tightly bound the local wealthy families and the government in each county.
.
Once something happens to the government, it will be difficult for them to shirk it, and with them assisting the government in handling affairs, the county government will be more relaxed after all.
"I obey the order!" Feng Zhengyue and the other four could no longer hide the joy on their faces.
Li Xuan stood up slowly, looked at the four people and said, "His Majesty once told me that there should be no problems with Wuzhou's autumn harvest this year. This means that during the summer harvest, there is very little room for error... Four Please remember that once the summer harvest begins, the only one you can rely on is yourselves. It may be difficult for you to count on the state government. Therefore, I made it clear in advance:
During the entire summer harvest period, no matter how many orders came from the city to mobilize troops, you all could ignore them. I will be responsible for everything. Do you understand? "
Feng Zhengyue and the other four looked at each other with solemn expressions.
In just one sentence, Li Xuan revealed the huge risks in Wuzhou City today.
Now, Li Xuan is heading to Wuzhou City.
