Junzhou on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Zhongtong.

"Reporting to thousands of households, it is now almost certain that the person who was lurking in Junzhou and colluded with Li Xia at that time must be Guo Hongjing, the deputy envoy of Henan Road and Canal."

At the private salt shop in Fudong Lane, Cui Wen faced the young man sitting in front of him and reported respectfully.

This young Qianhu's name is He Wei, and he is only nineteen years old after the New Year.

He Wei came from a well-known family. His father, He Boxiang, was a general under Zhang Rou. He once served as Zhang Rou's commander-in-chief. Since ten years ago, He Boxiang was often recruited by Meng Ge alone, and he repeatedly made great contributions and received many awards.

From then on, He Boxiang was no longer like a general of the Zhang family, but more like a general under the Mongolian Khan. Later, He Boxiang died of illness, Zhang Rou brought He Wei to see Kublai Khan, and Kublai Khan awarded He Wei a silver talisman.

Marching thousands of households.

Two years ago, Li Fen rebelled, and Song general Xia Gui took the opportunity to invade Henan. He Wei followed Zhang Honglue to attack Xia Gui, taking the lead and making great contributions. After this battle, Zhang Honglue was transferred back to Yanjing, but He Wei was transferred to Ali's Hague tent.

The former town of Fu is still the town of Bozhou.

Now that he can be promoted to control the eagle guard Qianhu, and become a lost treasure after joining the Qixue Army, He Wei has obviously left the Zhang family...

"Guo Hongjing?" He Wei pondered briefly and said, "Is this man the prospective son-in-law of the Zhang family?"

"Yes, he is about to become brother-in-law with Li Xia, and he always complains about the court."

He Wei obviously didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "It's not that I haven't met Guo Hongjing before. He is pedantic, dull, and full of bookishness. How can he do such a thing?"

Cui Wendao: "However, after Guo Hongjing's defeat, he killed four of our subordinates and defected to Tongguan."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"This matter must start with Dong Wenyong's defeat at Jindu Pass. After Dong Wenyong surrendered, he contacted Guo Hongjing and secretly carried out smuggling business. Afterwards, Guo Hongjing contacted Zhang Hongji of Baozhou and persuaded Zhang Hongji to send a large number of horses

, medicinal materials and other military supplies arrived in Junzhou. They took advantage of the construction of canals to transport them to Tongguan, so they were able to remain unnoticed until Zhang Hongji reported the matter..."

Cui Wenzhi spoke for a long time.

He Wei also listened patiently, his face getting calmer and calmer, making it difficult to tell whether he believed it or not.

"There is a family in Yuezhuang Village outside Junzhou City who is Li Xia's spy. Guo Hongjing went to contact us that day and was discovered by us, so he and the Military Intelligence Department committed murder and defected..."

"After all, you mean Dong Wenbing and Di Ze were unaware of this?" He Wei asked.

"should be."

"Isn't it because we can't check them with the Eagle Guard?"

Cui Wen pondered for a while and then said slowly: "The Eagle Control Guard has just been established. It is only possible to find out Guo Hongjing in just one month after arriving in Junzhou. It is already limited by the ability of my humble position. Now that thousands of families are here, maybe we can still find out

To get more comrades.”

He Wei was noncommittal and asked, "Have you sent anyone to sneak into the pass?"

"Yes." Cui Wendao said: "In my humble position, I discovered the informant of the Military Intelligence Department in the Junzhou Iron Smelting Factory, instigated the rebellion of two people, and learned about their smuggling of iron tools. I took advantage of the situation and arranged for ten experts to pass through Tongguan disguised as ordinary warriors...

"

"very good."

After hearing the report, He Wei left this dark stronghold and went to see Dong Wenbing.

As the commander of Qianhu, he apologized to Dong Wenbing and said that he had never doubted Dong Wenbing.

Having said that, after going through a process of being suspected and dispelled, each and every one of the Qianhu Stations controlling the Eagle Guards was nailed down in Henan.

Rebellion occurred under Dong Wenbing's rule, which will inevitably weaken part of his authority...

After that, He Wei said that when he left Beijing, he heard His Majesty tell him how much he trusted Dong Wenbing, and said that during the southern expedition to Dali, the hardships and dangers experienced by brothers Dong Wenbing and Dong Wenzhong would always be remembered by His Majesty.

Hearing that His Majesty recalled the past in this way, Dong Wenbing burst into tears.

The king's kindness was so great that he had no choice but to accept it.

I only want to clear Guo Hongjing’s grievances again.

"After much thought, I still don't think that I would be a traitor to the country and collaborate with the enemy."

"There is no need to excuse Guo Hongjing anymore." He Wei still seemed a little tough in front of the dignified Henan economic officer. "The person who colluded with Li Xia was Guo Hongjing. The evidence is conclusive."

He has the confidence to speak tough words.

If we continue to investigate further, what if we find out that it was you, Dong Wenbing or Zhang Rou, who colluded with Li Xia?

Does your Majesty want to know this obvious result?

What I want is to reduce your power.

…

The essence of the whole thing is that the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty recruited a large number of generals' sons from the princes of the world, awarded them the honor of cowardly Xue Jun, let them break away from the princes, and then decentralized power to the local governments in the name of the emperor's personal army.

.

In the past, places such as Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong were in the hands of the princes, and whether they defended or surrendered was in their hands. But it was different now. Now Kublai Khan began to personally control the generals.

He can only do this.

Otherwise, if left unchecked, the Zhang family and the Dong family may rebel and surrender to Li Xia. After all, Mongolia was too tolerant in the past.

If we say this is the Han system, it is indeed the case. It asked local military generals to return power to the central government. The Song Dynasty in the south did it a hundred times more harshly. Li Xia also centralized power.

The founding of the Yuan Dynasty only slightly took back power.

At this point, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty adjusted the power of the central and local authorities; Dong Wenbing and others also eliminated suspicion; the Eagle Guards had made contributions; the spies sent to Guanzhong had been arranged; more Han people became the emperor's guards...

This is already a result acceptable to all parties.

Dong Wenbing understood clearly, but he just didn't want officials like Guo Hongjing to become victims of the power struggle, so he still opened his mouth to argue for him.

"The respectful minister is a dull man and should not be able to secretly collaborate with the enemy."

"Li Xia is the best at using time, and often makes possibilities possible in seemingly impossible places." He Wei said: "Often it is the person who looks like a nerd, who seems the most unlikely, who is the one who hides the deepest

That spy..."

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chang'an.

Dong Wenyong walked into the lobby of Prince Qin's Mansion and reported: "Your Majesty, the latest batch of ironware and coal from Junzhou has arrived."

"Hand over."

"Yes. In addition, according to what Yu Dechen said, two people in the Junzhou Iron Works were instigated to rebel. Some of the laborers who came to transport the goods should be Mongolian Yuanxizao, and I am currently screening them."

"Lin Zi is not in Chang'an, so please be more considerate."

"Yes." Dong Wenyong added: "In addition, news came from Junzhou that the matter had been settled, and Guo Hongjing was actually convicted, and no one else would be prosecuted."

"Really? Why does it have the style of Song Ting?"

"As long as it involves decentralization of power, it's the same everywhere."

"Well, keep in touch. Don't be stingy with the gold and silver you should give. I need money to revive my family business."

"Yes, he has iron, we have money, we each get what we need..."

These are trivial matters. Li Xia has heard about them and knows that Dong Wenyong knows them well.

Instead, I thought about Lin Zi saying that Yu Dechen might be incited to rebel, and then thought about how easily Guo Hongjing was convicted by Yuan Ting.

Maybe, Yu Dechen was really instigated?

After further deliberation, Zhang Hongfan may have arranged this matter. He captured Yu Dechen in Taiyuan, hired people from Changchun Temple in Yanjing to persuade him, and then arranged for Guo Hongjing to come over.

The two most stupid Yuanting spies had a perfect plan.

Just like when the King of Han sent a spy who was proficient in water conservancy to the Qin Dynasty to build the Zhengguo Canal.

When Li Xia let down his guard, Guo Hongjing, who seemed the least likely to take action, stabbed him in the chest.

Originally, the purpose of controlling the Eagle Guard from the beginning was not to find out the facts, but to take advantage of the situation and place spies in Guanzhong...

Li Xia thought about it and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, ending this boring speculation.

The New Year is getting closer.

Li Zhaocheng finally had time to cook a table of delicious dishes to entertain his friends.

“It smells so good!”

Sun De or rubbed his hands, sniffed hard, and said, "The last time I ate Da Langjun's cooking was a few months ago, right?"

"It's the beginning of August and it's the end of the twelfth twelfth lunar month." Jiang Di said casually, "Almost five months have passed."

"Tsk, tsk, after five months of busy work, I can finally take a breather."

"We are very busy. What have you been busy with?"

Sun De or said proudly: "How many things have been made by our Gewuyuan... Since the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties are here, I won't talk about anything else, only the farm tools in Guanzhong. Do you know how many hoes we have made under our supervision?"
