Chapter eight hundred and thirty. This black pot is for you.
…
…
Got it? Of course I do!
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, not only Li Ruan understood what Zhao Junchen meant, but also all the civil and military officials present!
Zhao Junchen is throwing a blame on Li Ruan!
Zhao Junchen's official status is as an imperial envoy for disaster relief. Now there is collusion between government and businessmen in Tianshui Fucheng to harm refugees and drive up prices. Zhao Junchen naturally has the right to deal with these corrupt officials and bad tyrants, so Zhao Junchen ordered Li Ruan to kill those who oppressed the people.
Officials and merchants are wealthy!
But Zhao Junchen did not have the right to deal with the people who rebelled and seized the city. Even though Zhao Junchen was now in charge of the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, he only had the right to send troops to quell the rebellion, and did not have the right to order them to peace! Because ordering means that the court would deal with the rebels
Their crimes of rebellion can be forgotten. This is the right that only Emperor Deqing has!
Now, Zhao Junchen ostensibly lets Li Ru'an take charge of the rebellion in Tianshui City. It is Li Ru'an who has the final say whether the rebels in Tianshui City should be annihilated or imprisoned. However, Zhao Junchen only gave Li Ru'an only thirty guards.
, how can such a small number of guards exterminate the rebels? You must know that the rebels in Tianshui City defeated the defenders of Tianshui City!
As a result, Li Ru'an had only one option, and that was to bite the bullet and act on behalf of the emperor - to come forward to pacify the rebellious people in Tianshui City!
This was obviously a taboo. If Zhao Junchen had done it, Emperor Deqing would have felt uncomfortable. However, Li Ruan was an eunuch of the inner court and the Northwest Supervisory Army on behalf of the emperor. If he handled this matter, there would be controversy.
It would be much smaller, and Emperor Deqing might not care about it, and might even admire Li Ru'an, thinking that Li Ru'an was decisive and courageous - but it was just a possibility, and who could guess the emperor's mind?
Therefore, what Zhao Junchen said is to throw a blame on Li Ru'an. Once Emperor Deqing is satisfied afterwards, then Zhao Junchen has the skills to know people and can get a lot of credit. But if Emperor Deqing is dissatisfied afterwards, then the main responsibility is also
It all belongs to Li Ruan, and Zhao Junchen is jointly and severally liable at most!
After thinking about this, the civil and military officials in the tent looked at Li Ruan with some sympathy.
But to everyone's surprise, after hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Li Ru'an's expression became much more relaxed, without any resistance, and he simply agreed: "In this case, the Tianshui Rebellion will be left to us.
Our family is responsible for handling it, and our family will definitely handle the matter in Tianshui City as soon as possible and never let the Imperial Envoy down!"
Seeing Li Ru'an's obedient performance, Zhao Junchen's expression softened a little and said: "Without further delay, you can leave for Tianshui City now. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better!"
"Follow the order!"
After saying that, Li Ruan turned around and left Shuai Zhang without any hesitation!

On the other side, after Li Ruan walked out of the tent, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his head.
Li Ruan naturally knew that Zhao Junchen had thrown the biggest problem of the Tianshui Rebellion to him. The risk of this matter was extremely high. No one could tell whether Emperor Deqing would be happy or unhappy after knowing about this matter. For Li Ruan, it can be said that
It's a big gamble.
But Li Ruan must take over this problem!
Although he is the Northwest Supervisory Army and has the right to refuse Zhao Junchen's request, what Li Ruan is sure of is that once he refuses Zhao Junchen's request, he will definitely die violently in the army within three days! There are many possible causes of death.
, maybe he fell from his horse due to a mistake, maybe he was suddenly seriously ill, maybe he died from a stray arrow on the battlefield - Zhao Junchen will definitely mourn him deeply after his death, and will even ask Emperor Deqing for credit, but no matter what, Li Ruan will definitely
Will die - Zhao Junchen definitely has the determination and means!
Therefore, Li Ruan did not dare not agree!
In fact, Li Ru'an knew very well that although Zhao Junchen threw the blame and problems to himself, he also gave himself an opportunity. This opportunity was not only to make up for Zhao Junchen's mistakes, but also to seek wealth for Emperor Deqing in danger!
As long as Li Ru'an can properly handle the Tianshui Rebellion, then Zhao Junchen will definitely have a way to make this matter a good thing in the eyes of Emperor Deqing. Li Ru'an himself will also gain greater capital from this matter, and use it in the inner court.
A meteoric rise!
Thinking of this, Li Ruan's expression gradually became firm, and he walked quickly towards the distance, planning to rush to Tianshui City overnight!
He has an extreme temperament, but now that he has figured out the pros and cons, he will no longer have any hesitation.
However, Li Ru'an didn't go far when he heard someone calling him from behind: "Li Jianjun, please stay!"
Li Ruan turned around and saw that it was Zhao Junchen's aide Su Xiqing calling him.
Su Xiqing walked quickly to Li Ruan's side, handed a token to Li Ruan, and said softly: "My master asked me to give it to you. With this token, you can mobilize people around Tianshui City."
Even Qi Bin's new army must obey orders! My lord asked me to tell you that it would be best if the rebels in Tianshui City can be ordered to peace, but if they are unwilling to accept the order, then Li Jianjun does not have to go too far.
If you are entangled, you must not provoke the mob, but focus on ensuring your own safety. It is not too late to deploy troops to exterminate the mob afterwards!"
After a pause, Su Xiqing said earnestly: "Li Jianjun, don't blame my master for putting this trouble on you! After all, he is a full-time imperial envoy for disaster relief, and his main job is to appease the refugees. He can only conquer Mongolia.
It’s just a bonus! If something goes wrong with the refugees, even if my lord makes great military exploits in the future, I’m afraid it won’t be worth the effort. My lord entrusts this matter to you because he trusts you!”
After hearing what Su Xiqing said, Li Ruan's face was naturally happy and he breathed a sigh of relief again!
Li Ru'an knew that because of his obedient behavior in the tent, Zhao Junchen finally stopped being angry with him, so he behaved like this.
So, Li Ru'an quickly took the token and said to Su Xiqing: "I hope Master Su will tell the Imperial Envoy after he returns, saying that our family understands the Imperial Envoy's thoughts. This time when we go to Tianshui City, we must focus on Zhao'an, not Zhao'an."
We will deliberately persecute those desperate people, and we will never dare to affect the imperial envoy's reputation among the people! The people of Tianshui City were forced to rebel this time. After our family severely punished the evil officials and businessmen, we will come forward on behalf of the imperial court to calm them down.
, you will definitely not encounter too much trouble, so please rest assured, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
…
ps: Now that the war is approaching and the climax is about to begin, the sudden addition of the plot of the civil uprising seems a bit superfluous, but Chongzi also has his own considerations.
On the one hand, this is because Chongzi doesn’t want to portray Zhao Junchen as a character with endless plans and wisdom. If the plot is smooth, it will be no different from ordinary cool novels. The world is complicated and no one can fully control it.
It's normal to have ups and downs, but Chongzi is not good at describing war, so he creates trouble for the protagonist in other ways; on the other hand, Chongzi thinks that Zhao Junchen appoints corrupt officials to do things. Similar situations will happen sooner or later, and they will get worse.
The more bad things happen during the critical period, the more it happens during this period, the more impressive it will be.
Of course, the plot of the civil uprising is just a subplot and does not take up too much content.
