Chapter 54
Liu Yuanqiao saw this situation very clearly and clearly, so he was shocked, decided to send his son back to Fushan, and decided to train his servants' troops at all costs.
He knew that he was not easy to mess around at the moment. As long as the imperial court issued an order, he could be removed from his post. If he had no official protection, the local government would investigate immediately. If he wanted him to pay taxes, he would pay taxes. If he wanted him to bear the labor service, he would bear the labor service, and even confiscated his home.
No one can move him if he has an official position. Without an official position or an official position, he can probably even a small county magistrate can destroy him.
Liu Yuanqiao couldn't help but sigh that it was really hard to live by these wolves around!
Liu Yuanqiao sent his son back to his hometown in Fushan, and stayed in Linqing himself to deal with these people who were trying to seize their Liu family property.
And now he has discovered the subtlety, that is, the big guys want to seek his property, and everyone wants to take it alone, so they control each other, argue with each other, and pull each other back.
Of course, on the surface, as long as the court issued an order to remove him from his post, any of these big shots could attack him and could copy his Liu family.
Liu Yuanqiao's idea was that if he really got this step, he would directly attack them and instruct their servants to attack these bigwigs and compete with them.
As an eight-faced Buddha, he is versatile and good at dancing. He himself is even ready to retreat. As the leader of the Liu family, he will never allow the Liu family to be confiscated and exterminated. When necessary, they will raise an army to cause trouble, give these people a good look, and he has already thought about his retreat.
Liu Yuanqiao has already made a covenant with his life-and-death friendship, Zheng Zhibao. If he cannot do anything, he will immediately retreat to the sea and make a promise to him, and he will definitely keep his whole family safe.
Liu Yuanqiao and Zheng Zhibao have been in love for decades, and they can be dependent on each other from both sides, so he also regards this as the last way out, which is the best way they can do at present.
Liu Yuanqiao did this here, which was actually very hard and under great pressure. Before he knew it, his temples were covered with white hair. His mother, Old Buddha, felt heartbroken in his eyes, but she was also an old man. He also knew that the Liu family was facing a crisis now and could only say: "Take care and don't work too hard."
Liu Yuanqiao was under great pressure. He often thought, I am so rich and hard-working with Why? Why don’t I let go of everything here and go back to my hometown? I’m too lazy to fight with these people, and in the end I will hit the stone with eggs. There is no good ending or good result.
But there was a good news from Liu Zhongyong. The hundreds of clerks they trained actually showed a super god. They had a conflict with Jimo County Magistrate Zhou Wentong, and directly sent hundreds of soldiers to loot Jimo City overnight and obtained 170,000 taels of silver.
For Liu Yuanqiao, he might not take it seriously, but what really surprised him was that Liu Bu and the others were so powerful that they robbed a county town and did not make any noise. No news had been heard yet. This is called "although it is silent, once it is activated, it will be thunderous and the sky collapses. Liu Yuanqiao was a little happy, and his son still grew up after all.
But he was not surprised. Just like when he was young, he looked down on his family's livelihood, carried a sword on his back, walked around the world, and wandered around. When he got used to the outside world, and became accustomed to the prosperity and decline outside, he returned to his hometown, inherited his father's business, and became the patriarch of the Liu family, leading the Liu family to dominate the country.
He also knew that people will automatically change after middle age. This is called standing at thirty. Although his son is only in his twenties this year, he probably has grown up slowly. He knew that every man actually likes to play, but after getting tired of playing and shopping, he still has to return to the right path. A man’s career is the right path.
Liu Yuanqiao was not in his hometown of Fushan, but he knew every move in his hometown of Foshan very clearly. He also knew that beauty Chen was sent to the robber by Master Liu Bu, so he was not angry. He was still wondering what he had done earlier? He also had a drama like hanging.
What is rare is that after Liu Bu received Meiren Chen, he did not place it in the golden house, drinking and having fun day and night, not asking about the world, but letting her live in his house. Then he continued to practice troops in the Tibetan Bing Valley, occasionally coming to visit, that is, reading poetry, studying poetry, songs, etc.
Liu Yuanqiao was wondering, was it because Liu Bu robbed Chen Yuanyuan back? It was not because he wanted to be lustful, but because he wanted to concentrate on studying. As a man, he knew that this was a nonsense and even ghosts believed it.
Therefore, he is very satisfied with Liu Bu's current concentration. Those who can achieve great things must have amazing concentration. They can not be greedy for beauty and can remain calm in front of Mount Tai and not change their faces. This is the potential for doing great things.
Liu Bu's success made Liu Yuanqiao feel a little relaxed in his heart. The pressure was not that great. Even if he really couldn't survive in Linqing, he could still retreat to Fushan. He had proposed to retreat to his hometown in Shan before, which was just his idea. He knew that the other party would not stop chasing him just because they retreated to Fushan. Although Fushan was remote, it was still in Jimo County and under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. His ultimate bottom line was that if he really couldn't survive, he would organize the army to resist and flee overseas. He would never let the whole family be executed.
Although Liu Yuanqiao is also an official, he is not as stupid and loyal as other officials. He watched his whole family beheaded and the nine clans were killed, and he didn't know how to resist or escape. He was a pragmatic. If he saw that the news was wrong, he would flee overseas. Anyway, he had money, and even if he went overseas, he could still enjoy the life of a superior person. Why did he have to behead his whole family?
Of course, escaping overseas is a forced act. Although the scholars and officials often say one thing: "The way is not good, float on a raft in the sea." But they all know that this is a method with no choice. No one will do this unless they have to. Not to mention overseas, even if they go to Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan, they are all called remote areas, barbaric lands, and they have been demoted. It is even more impossible to let them go overseas to Nanyang. Unless they really can't make it locally, they will leave their hometowns and go to other places.
Now that there is such a move in the Liu family, he is a little surprised. He knows that if this is the case, they will be inconsistent with Liu Zeqing, but there is still no problem in gaining a foothold in the local area.
The Liu family has been in Linqing for more than 60 years and has penetrated all aspects. Soon they knew that Gao Qiqian still supported them, and then immediately replied. However, when he arrived at General Liu Zeqing, the other party disagreed. Judging from his appearance, he might not give Gao Qiqian a face. Now, Gao Qiqian doesn't care about him anymore, but has been transferred outside the pass.
Since the 47th year of Wanli, after they defeated the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty has not won a single battle outside the pass. As long as they fight against Jiannu, they will be defeated and beaten miserably. Of course, it is the great victory of Ningyuan, which is praised for his amazing skills, that is, they have stabilized the local front. In recent years, no one of the commanders who fought against Jiannu outside the pass has had a good end. Therefore, Gao Qiqian was transferred to Ningyuan from the emperor's court, which is a promotion and heavy use, but in the eyes of many officials, this is different from the death of death. To put it bluntly, isn't this sent to death?
So Liu Zeqing didn't give Gao Qiqian any face at all, and just threw away the letter.
Liu Yuanqiao knew that this was Linqing. If there were no sufficient reasons, even Liu Zeqing, who was the general of Shandong, would not dare to do anything randomly. If they were in a remote area, Liu Zeqing would probably have had soldiers in his hands and directly killed the general, sued the other party for a crime of tying bandits, and then chopped them up.
But this is Linqing, and his official position is affected by all aspects, so Liu Zeqing dared not do anything randomly.
Liu Yuanqiao sighed, now he knows what the sin of possessing a jade is.
Now he knew that life was getting worse and worse, so he hoped that his son could do better and leave a better way for the family. If Liu Bu was not doing well, they might not have died in three generations.
The elderly often say that wealth is not only for three generations, but their Liu family is rich, and their Liu family is rich but not expensive. The family is very rich and very rich, but they can't produce any high-ranking officials.
They had backers in the court, but these days, the officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were the worst in the court, and few could last for a long time. Today's emperors are very tough and very irritable and impatient. If you can't achieve results in a short period of time, you will get out of here immediately. How many officials can achieve results in the shortest time, and they are also in the situation where colleagues are tugging each other and quarrel with each other, so it is difficult to be officials in the Chongzhen Dynasty.
It is because the officials in the court collapsed so quickly that the network of relationships that Liu Yuanqiao had always built collapsed quickly and did not manage them well enough, which led to the situation of being isolated and helpless today.
