"Huai Jin once served under the command of Gong Qiu Xinggong of Tianshui County. He had a very good relationship with Qiu Changshi. He even heard that he had met with Master Shiyin."
In the stone pavilion in the backyard of Jiande County Yamen, Duan Baoxuan waved to the side, and Sima Yao Zhi immediately left with his surrounding men.
Shiyin Zhenren Ming Chongyan, Jinwu Wei Zhonglang general Qiu Shenji, are all close followers of the Queen of Heaven.
Huai Jin was able to serve as the captain of Zhechong in Kuaiji Prefecture. He originally connected with Ming Chongyan through Qiu Shenji, and then connected with Empress Wu through Ming Chongyan.
"It turns out that this is the reason why he has been targeting me." Li Xuan's face suddenly became heavy, and Empress Wu's eyes never let go of Southeast.
Duan Baoxuan, the governor, was from the emperor, and Huaijin, the captain of Zhechong, was from the Queen of Heaven. This in itself was a check and balance.
Duan Bao
Li Xuan nodded clearly. With this layer of identity revealed, everything became much clearer.
Qiu Shenji's father, Qiu Xinggong, was a concubine in the family and had a bad relationship with Qiu Zhenmu's grandfather, Qiu Shi.
Although Master Qiu died early and Qiu Xinggong had the highest official position, he failed to become the head of the Qiu family.
In today's Qiu family, Qiu Shenji is the most important to the emperor and the queen, and is the head of the Qiu family. However, there are also many contradictions within the Qiu family.
Otherwise, Qiu Zhenmu would not have followed Li Xuan in Wuzhou.
Huai Jin was more interested in Li Xuan than Qiu Zhenmu.
Qiu Zhenmu has been following Li Xuan for a long time, and is trusted by Li Xuan. Not only is he a very capable person, he may be able to get some dirty information about Li Xuan from him.
What Li Xuan did in Muzhou this time was indeed a bit too conspicuous.
"No." Li Xuan had just sat down when he suddenly raised his head, stared at Duan Baoxuan and asked, "Duan Weng, but something happened in Shezhou?"
"Why does Your Majesty think so?" Duan Baoxuan turned his head and looked at Li Xuan in surprise, the surprise in his eyes was not concealed.
"The incident in Wuzhou has been decided. Even if the governor does not ask for it, my nephew will not go to the front line again. Therefore, it is meaningless to target my nephew at this time, unless..." Li Xuan reached out and picked up the teapot from the stone table. He poured a glass for Duan Baoxuan, and then said softly: "Unless something happens in Shezhou, Qiu Changshi made some omissions, so some people will want to find my nephew back."
"It is said that the prince is young and smart, and now that I have seen him, he is indeed well-deserved." Duan Baoxuan said with some emotion and some relief: "A few months ago, the prince wrote a letter asking me to take more care of the prince. I never thought that this time, it would be the prince. I have caught the prince’s glory.”
Duan Baoxuan served as the governor of Huo Wangfu many years ago and concurrently as the governor of Ding. Later, he moved to the right to become the governor of Luo and the governor of Yuezhou.
After Li Xuan was appointed as Wuzhou's farewell commander, Li Xu, the eldest son of King Huo, wrote a personal letter to Duan Baoxuan.
Only then did Li Xuan take the post of Captain Guo Yi of Kuaiji Prefecture, who inspected the school after arriving in Hangzhou.
However, even Duan Baoxuan did not expect that Li Xuan did so well in Wuzhou.
With the power of Wuzhou alone, the Tianyin Sect's way out to the east was completely blocked.
"Uncle, thank you. My nephew's matter is trivial. It's just the right time and place. It's Shezhou. What's the situation in Shezhou now? If the queen directly breaks Shezhou, then even if you and I completely occupy Muzhou, we can't do anything to it. The Tianyin Sect caused fatal injuries."
Li Xuan's expression was extremely serious, because the consequences of Tianyin Sect's occupation of Shezhou would be more serious than their occupation of Wuzhou.
Since ancient times, Muzhou and Shezhou have been integrated. They were called Xin'an County in ancient times and also called ancient Huizhou. Later they were divided into Shezhou and Muzhou.
The distance between Muzhou and Shezhou is closer than the distance from Muzhou to Wuzhou and Hangzhou.
Therefore, after the Tianyin Sect uprising, Empress Gu personally led her army to Shezhou.
The Tianmu Mountain Road between Shezhou and Muzhou has always been the main passage from Shezhou into Zhejiang.
The Tianmu Mountain Road was blocked, and the exchange of news between She and Mu was basically completely cut off.
This is why Li Xuan has never heard much about the current situation in Shezhou from the court.
because.
"As soon as we get to Shezhou, the Tianyin Sect goes straight up the mountain to Xuanzhou. To the west of Xuanzhou is the Yangtze River, along the river to the north is Jinling, and upstream is Jiangzhou." At this point, Li Xuan looked solemn: "Captain, if this happens , the entire Jiangnan Dao, more than fifty states, will be under its military front, and then the world will be in chaos!"
Nowadays, except for the Wuyue and Huidong states that are paying attention to the Tianyin Sect, the other states in Jiangnan Dao have no precautions against the Tianyin Sect.
Although everyone knows that there is chaos in Wuyue, all the states are actively busy with summer harvest and autumn planting.
Once the Tianyin Sect breaks through Shezhou, all states will immediately be on guard, which will inevitably affect the summer harvest and autumn planting.
If the summer harvest is insufficient and autumn planting is affected, then the whole world will be affected.
"That's not it." Duan Baoxuan quickly waved his hand. What Li Xuan said was a bit extreme. He lowered his voice and said, "I received a notification from Baiqisi that Beiye was breached. Now the Tianyin Sect's West Route Army has arrived. Under She County..."
Beiye is located in the northeast of She County, at the west exit of Mu She Mountain Road, only thirty miles away from She County.
Li Xuan's face became solemn: "Captain, after She County, there is the city of Shezhou."
"Shezhou is in danger, but Governor Wang and Huangshan Mansion should be able to withstand it for a while." Duan Baoxuan looked sideways at Li Xuan and whispered: "Although the governor has received the news, it is only the notification from Baiqisi, and there is no report from the imperial court. It’s not convenient to talk to others about the official document.”
Historically, only the provincial governors, governors, chief historians and Sima could read the notifications of Baiqisi.
Huaijin, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Kuaiji, could not hear about this notification, but Li Xuan, as a farewell official in Wuzhou, could learn about it.
"Then why did uncle summon his nephew here in such a hurry?" Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan seriously. He was not summoned in such a hurry just to antagonize Huai Jin.
"Completely eradicate the foundation of Tianyin Sect in Muzhou." Duan Baoxuan's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness. He looked at Li Xuan and said, "The governor has issued an order for each state to send Taoist and Buddhist masters to come to Muzhou to give lectures. In exchange for His faith, this is one, the key is the second, which is to cultivate the people's hearts and provide the people with fields."
"Then we need to check the fields first." Li Xuan's breathing suddenly became heavy.
Wang Fanglin only spread a hint of an inventory of his land in Wuzhou, and he was immediately opposed by all the major families in Wuzhou.
He even secretly united with Tianyin Sect's killers to assassinate him.
If Li Xuan really wants to check the fields in Muzhou, his end will not be much better.
As if seeing the solemnity flashing in Li Xuan's eyes, Duan Baoxuan waved his hand and said easily: "Compared to other states, the situation in Muzhou is simpler. The land of the aristocratic families has long been confiscated by the Tianyin Sect. We will take it back to Muzhou. After that, you only need to return the acres according to the records in the yellow and white books.
If they want the land that is not included in the records, then the governor will have to settle the crime of hiding the land with them. "
Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan with sparkling eyes, shook his head, raised the teapot on the side and poured two cups.
One cup was delivered to Duan Baoxuan, and one cup was taken back to Li Xuan herself.
Looking at the tea soup in the tea, Li Xuan said softly: "Uncle, there are three difficulties in this matter."
"Three difficulties?" When Duan Baoxuan heard Li Xuan say this, he looked not only not surprised, but also a little happy: "Has your nephew thought about it carefully?"
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said seriously: "Firstly: it is a family. The family has many means and complicated relationships. The difficulty is not only outside, but also inside. The yellow and white books are all written by human hands. As long as the old books are Burn it to the ground, and let him talk about the rest. In addition, there are countless children of aristocratic families in the prefecture and county, so this is difficult to achieve. "
In the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, Sima Yao Zhi, who had the most contact with Li Xuan, was the person in charge of the Yao family in Wuyue.
Children from other aristocratic families are everywhere, and it is not that difficult to do something.
What's more, there are also in-laws and the relationship between the disciples is even more complicated.
You don't even know if the person you trust the most is related to a wealthy family.
These difficult problems were placed in front of Duan Baoxuan. His expression remained calm and he said lightly:
: "No matter who it is, standing in the way of the imperial court's overall situation will lead to death."
Duan Baoxuan's resolute attitude was clearly displayed in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled slightly. Duan Baoxuan had the right to kill first and then report. As long as he could pull back this layer of tiger skin, the so-called aristocratic family would not be a big deal.
"The second difficulty is the common people. To be more precise, the ordinary people who are followers of the Tianyin Sect. They have obtained more fields from the Tianyin Sect and want to take these fields back from them. If you don't pay attention, it will be a civil uprising, not to mention that there are aristocratic families making trouble in it. They are the ones who want to see the blood of the people the most." Li Xuan clenched her fists tightly.
After the Tianyin Sect incident, regardless of whether the land belonged to them before, the aristocratic family hoped to seize it, and hoped to plunder more.
In this case, a popular uprising was provoked, and then the government strangled the people.
In this way, aristocratic families only need to connect with the government to acquire more land.
Wuzhou was in such a situation before. If Li Xuan hadn't been ruthless and decisive, and kept the Tianyin Sect out of Wuzhou, otherwise Wuzhou would have become a hunting ground for wealthy families.
It is even more difficult to deal with aristocratic families and common people at the same time.
"It's still one word, kill." Duan Baoxuan's heart was as hard as a thousand-year-old rock.
How to kill, who to kill, as long as you kill enough people, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
"Third." Li Xuan straightened her body, looked at Duan Baoxuan with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "It's just in name. Although my nephew has many responsibilities now, he is just a Wuzhou farewell driver after all. How can he interfere in the harmonious relationship?" I would like to ask my uncle to consider the state affairs carefully."
"So you are waiting here!" Duan Baoxuan smiled and couldn't help but shake his head.
As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not be right. Even if Li Xuan has Duan Baoxuan's authorization, he is not a legitimate official after all. He can meddle in Muzhou affairs at will and deprive him of his rights at will.
Even when the harvest is finally approaching, it is not impossible to just go out and kick him away and pick the fruits.
If this is not addressed, none of the previous ones can be said again.
Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan and said with a smile: "Are you interested, nephew, in inspecting the governor of Muzhou?"
Muzhou governor, as soon as these four words came out, Li Xuan even straightened up his breathing.
But soon, he shook his head directly and said: "My uncle has no such right, and even if my uncle gets your majesty's authorization and secret decree, the three central provinces will not be able to get through. Moreover, this matter is not a good thing for my nephew. "
Li Xuan took up the post of Wuzhou Biejia at a young age, so he was suspected of being superior.
If it weren't for Wuzhou's special situation and Li Xuan's special status, it would have been impossible for the three central provinces to pass such an appointment.
Now it is extremely difficult for Li Xuan to inspect the Muzhou governor, even if it is just to inspect the school.
Once he takes office, the backlash will be equally huge.
It is even possible that Li Xuan will be inspected for three months and then unable to be promoted within ten years.
"Therefore, I hope that my nephew can serve as the pacifier of Muzhou and pacify Muzhou."
With Duan Baoxuan's words, a rarely mentioned position came to the fore.
It fell directly on Li Xuan's head.
