At dawn, there was a huge crowd in front of Beixianren Pass. Thousands of people gathered in front of the pass and waited impatiently for the switch to go north.
At this time, a group of cavalry came galloping from the south. Unexpectedly, they were blocked by people in front of them, and they reined in their horses.
There are about a hundred cavalrymen, guarding an official and more than a dozen of their followers. The leading official wears a bamboo hat, has a white face and is beardless, with a thin face and a pair of triangular eyes that look particularly cold and shrewd.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was high-pitched, and people immediately guessed that he was a eunuch.
"What happened in the front?" He spoke very slowly, so slowly that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Immediately, a follower rushed up to inquire. After a while, he came back and said: "The supervisors are all from families who went to Longyou to farm. They said they can divide the land into hundreds of acres and be tax-free for ten years!"
The eunuch raised his slender eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "The official family has never agreed to allocate a hundred acres of land and be tax-free for ten years. Who dares to make the decision without authorization?"
No one in the entourage said a word. The eunuch snorted and said coldly: "I know even if you don't tell me, it must be Chen Qing. No wonder the Sichuan and Shaanxi Provincial Department said he was the King of Longyou. It really looks a bit like him."
At this time, the gate of Guancheng slowly opened, and someone was heard shouting at the gate: "Everyone, follow me, don't get separated. Let's go directly north instead of taking Longzhou Road."
One of the attendants whispered to the eunuch: "Going directly north is the territory of the Qiang people. I heard it is very dangerous!"
The eunuch said coldly: "These ordinary people are not afraid of them. We have an army and are still afraid."
He immediately ordered: "Follow the brigade!"
This eunuch is called Wang Mian. He was previously appointed as the salt officer of Fujian Road. This time he was appointed as the governor of Xihe Road.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was very common for eunuchs to serve as military supervisors, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were very few eunuchs to serve as military supervisors. Most of them were mine supervisors, salt supervisors, or served in some government offices such as weaving, weapons promotion, etc.
The emperor Zhao Gou even issued an order to prevent eunuchs from serving as supervisors of the army, saying: 'The servants are not allowed to meet with the commanders of the army, otherwise they will be suspended from official duties!'
But this time Wang Mian was appointed as the governor of Xihe Road, which was the result of Empress Dowager Wei's urging to the emperor. Zhao Gou originally appointed a civil servant to be in charge of the government affairs of Xihe Road and to supervise Chen Qing at the same time.
However, Empress Dowager Wei valued eunuchs to supervise the army so that she could intervene. After her repeated persuasion, Zhao Gou changed the appointment of civilian officials and made an exception by appointing a eunuch as the governor of Xihe Road.
A large group of people rushed out of the city gate. The queen urged her horses and followed the people towards the outside of the city.
Chen Qing's son is four months old. He has a big head and a big head, and a pair of big black eyes that look around all day long. He is full of curiosity about everything in the world.
"Little guy, biting his finger again!"
Lu Xiu smiled and took his son's hand out of his mouth. The little boy grinned and started crying.
"Madam, he is hungry, give me the child!"
Lu Xiu handed his son to the wet nurse. The wet nurse opened her clothes and began to feed him. The little boy immediately calmed down. The wet nurse gently coaxed him and carried him back to the house.
Next to her, Li Mei stared at the series of arrangements without blinking. She was also six months pregnant, so naturally she was very interested in breastfeeding her child.
"The little guy is really good at eating! I remember you fed him not long ago."
"It's like this. I don't have enough milk. Fortunately, I have a wet nurse to help me."
Lu Xiu accompanied his sister-in-law Li Mei walking slowly in the corridor, and asked in surprise: "What did you say just now that Jiang Zhizhou is going to be suspended?"
Li Mei sighed, "Isn't it the new supervisor who is causing trouble? He said that Jiang Zhizhou was an official of the puppet Qi Dynasty. Without the consent of the court and the emperor, he was not qualified to be the governor, so he suspended him. He also said that Xihe Road
The problem is huge and must be completely rectified. He also suspended the Jiedu Envoy Office, and his men even injured Zhang Canjun."
Lu Xiu said coldly: "Commander Yang, will you allow him to act like this?"
"He seems to have the double gold medals of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, so he has no fear. It is said that he is the third firepower of the new official. I wonder who his third fire will be?"
"Needless to say, his target must be his husband!"
In front of the guest house in Chengji County, Zheng Ping pointed his sword at a group of soldiers and said angrily: "I say it again, go and notify the eunuch immediately. If I want to see him, go and report it immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Several soldiers had been beaten to the ground, and a group of soldiers behind them stood in front of the gate with spears and shields in hand, as if facing a powerful enemy.
They also looked angry. In other places, the gates of the prison guards were crowded with people giving gifts. Why did they meet such ignorant people in Chengji County? They kept calling them eunuchs and even beat them.
At this time, a group of cavalry rushed over, led by the general Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing was also sulking at the supervisor. Suddenly he heard that Zheng Ping led people to knock on the door. He was frightened and hurriedly led people to stop them.
"Fat Zheng, don't mess around!" Yang Yuanqing got off his horse, stepped forward to stop him and said, "Hurry up, you will cause trouble for the capital."
"I don't want to mess around, but you don't know Jiang Zhizhou is leaving, right?" Gu
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, "Why did Jiang Zhizhou leave?"
"This eunuch wanted to use Jiang Zhizhou's affairs to impeach the capital. Jiang Zhizhou didn't want to implicate the capital, so he decided to leave."
"Let's go and persuade Mr. Jiang."
"I can't persuade him, and neither can you. The only way is to let this damn eunuch reinstate Mr. Jiang."
At this time, an attendant of the Supervisory Army came to the door and said: "The Supervisory Army has an order, and if you mess around here, it will be regarded as rebellion!"
"Asshole! If I rebel, I will kill you first!"
Zheng Ping had a ferocious face and brandished his sword to kill him. Yang Yuanqing was so frightened that he hugged Zheng Ping's waist tightly, "Fat Zheng, don't mess around. Calm down! Calm down!"
Seeing Zheng Ping's murderous intent, the entourage was so frightened that he ran back. Yang Yuanqing whispered: "We can't persuade Zhizhou, but we can ask my wife to come forward. Zhizhou will definitely give him the face."
Zheng Ping nodded and asked his wife to come forward.
…
There was a big problem with Jiang Yanxian's identity. Although Zhang Xiao was also an official of the Puppet Qi, he was unknown before he became an official of the Puppet Qi.
However, Jiang Yanxian had previously served as an informant on Yingzhou affairs, as minister of the puppet Qi Ministry of War, and as commander of the army capital.
According to the new regulations of the imperial court, he must go to Lin'an for review. A high-ranking official like him must be specially approved by the emperor before he can be re-included in the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel.
Now he has openly served as the governor of Qinzhou, which is a serious violation of court rules.
Wang Mian, the supervisor, firmly grasped this handle and prepared to force Chen Qing to submit.
Jiang Yan didn't want to implicate Chen Qing, so leaving before the other party could imprison him was his only choice.
Jiang Yanxian packed up the books in his room, feeling quite sad. He finally found a goal to strive for, but now he had to stop.
I am already over forty years old, and this will be the case for the rest of my life.
At this time, a gust of wind rushed to report, "Master, the wife of Jiedushi is here."
Jiang Yanxian was shocked and rushed out. When he came to the door, he saw the county magistrate Lu Wei accompanied by the military governor Madam Lu.
He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I'm sorry to see you, madam!"
Lu Xiu said calmly: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the lobby and talk."
"Madam please!"
Jiang Yan first invited the wives of the Jiedushi, Lu Xiu and Lu Wei, to enter the mansion and come to the lobby. The three of them took their seats respectively.
Lu Xiu said: "We all know that a troublesome person has come, but we won't let Mr. Jiang return home!"
"Madam may not know that appointing a high-ranking official of the Puppet Qi Dynasty without authorization is a serious matter. Once the supervisory army impeaches him, the court will probably remove the Jiedu envoy."
Next to him, Lu Wei laughed and said: "But judging from the information I got, the supervisory army may not impeach him."
"I know that Wang Jianjun will not impeach, but he will definitely use this matter as leverage against Jiedushi. If I leave, he will have no key evidence and will be unable to make efforts."
Lu Xiu shook his head and said: "My husband told me that he has a lot of things to do! Silver mines, iron mines, appointing officials by himself, setting taxes by himself, negotiating with Xixia on his own initiative, all of which are enough for him to be dismissed from office, but
He doesn't care at all, Mr. Jiang, if Jiedushi was afraid of the imperial court, he would not mine silver mines and pay his own military salary."
Lu Wei also advised: "Wang Jianjun also asked the county government to put Jiang Zhizhou under house arrest. I ignored him at all. Everyone on Xihe Road did not take him seriously. I just treated him politely. Why should Zhizhou do this?
care?"
Jiang Yanxian sighed, "Now that Wang Jianjun is keeping an eye on me, it would be inappropriate for me to stay in Chengji County."
"That's easy to handle. The magistrate should go to Ganquanbao or Jichuan County first and wait for the Jiedushi to come back."
Jiang Yan nodded first and then asked Lu Xiu: "Is there any news from Jiedushi?"
Lu Xiu smiled and said: "I received a letter from home the day before yesterday. He is already on his way back. If Mr. Jiang leaves, there will be no one to advise him."
"Okay! Since even Madam has advised me, I will go to Ganquan Castle to stay for a while."
