Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh: Where does the blade go
Nearly 10,000 people from the 12th Regiment Headed to Yansui Town
This is undoubtedly a huge news for the people in the capital. However, since the "Heshuo Elegy" became popular at the beginning of the year, even ordinary civilians who did not care about state affairs in the past can often talk about Wang Yue's several great victories that year.
Therefore, they didn’t say anything about the rumored conspiracy. The ministers in the DPRK who once ignored the results of the war are now unable to focus on these border military strategies. Their energy is completely occupied by another matter.
Attracted
Liu Jin once again wielded the sword that had been silent for a long time.
The reason was because of the report sent by Han Fu, who was transferred to Huguang to clean up the military pay affairs - since the early years of Hongzhi, Huguang had been exempted from taxes of more than 6 million shi in case of disasters, but the amount of pay vacancies cleared by Han Fu was only less than 100 shi.
Therefore, Yu Wan, a capable minister who was proficient in financial planning and was pardoned and promoted by Liu Jin, after many days of calculation, directly impeached more than 1,200 people from the governor of Huguang to the officials of various states and counties, and petitioned for prosecution.
The accumulated taxes amounted to more than 6 million shi. Faced with this huge number and the large number of officials participating in the impeachment, even the most knowledgeable officials were speechless.
Of course, Liu Jin was not among those who were shocked and speechless. Although Han Fu's numerous connections caught him off guard, he was worried that he had no excuse to attack the officials. Jiao Fang's idea was certainly cruel, but it would be too radical to bring it out all at once at this moment.
Naturally, he immediately used the excuse Han Fu sent to his door as a swordsman.
Under his instruction, many people in the Sixth Section and several party members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate wrote letters to agree. For a time, everyone in the DPRK and Central Government who had served as an official in Huguang was in danger. But at this time, it was in the streets and alleys.
Among the small wine shops, teahouses and even on the cross streets, there are many foreign men and women playing and singing the little drama about the crime of King Ning of Jiangxi.
When this matter reached Liu Jin's ears, he was shocked and angry. He immediately ordered Dongchang and Neichang to search and arrest people all over the city. However, Qian Ning took away the most capable people from Neichang and Dongchang. Now
His performance in the two factories has dropped by more than half than before, and Liu Jin's prejudice against Gu Dayong has become too deep to seek help from the West Factory. He originally planned to borrow the imperial edict to let the Jin Yiwei go to the whole city to search, but who knows that the Jin Yiwei will command Ye Ye
At this time, Guangjing couldn't afford it. Li Yifeng, who was in charge of Jinyiwei, reported that the banditry in Kinki was getting worse. Please send people from Pingbei Houzhi as soon as possible to put down the bandits. He said that all his people were sent to investigate the whereabouts of the bandits. He could only do it for a while.
Gritting his teeth, he watched as Prince Ning's reputation gradually spread to the streets.
Damn you bastard
Liu Jin, who returned to his private house, lost his temper for a long time. When he saw Zhang Wenmian peeking his head outside the door, he shrank back. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and shouted: Why are you hiding? Our family can eat you, why don't you come in quickly?
Zhang Wenmian knew that he had been seen and could only accompany Xinxin into the house. Seeing that Liu Jin's face was livid, he thought about it for a moment and then said cautiously: "Father-in-law, I have already completed what you asked me to do. Zhang Cai now has many pets. I brought him from you before."
Although the talented lady who returned home was not the best, she was quite popular because she was good at singing, dancing, dexterity and charm. She told her that Zhang Cai was dissatisfied with being inferior to others. When she was drunk, she even said that he had the same talent.
Wait, why do you have to wait on those old men all the time? Why do you say that those old men want to fill the world with peaches and plums? What's wrong with him? Next year will be the year of the Great Competition again. With his qualifications, he will be named as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.
The examiner is a worthy candidate
After hearing this, Liu Jin's face finally brightened up, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: Anyway, you have handled this matter properly. Continue to work harder in front of Zhang Cai. If you can get him to vote for our talented woman, she wants everything.
It goes without saying that as for his request, our family must help him find a way. However, this matter must be done secretly, and Xu Xun must not be able to detect the slightest clue. You must know that things have gone wrong in Xichang and Jinyiwei in his hands. Farewell
I blame our family for throwing you out directly to calm down...
Zhang Wenmian couldn't help shrinking his head and kept saying yes. However, he glanced at Liu Jin. He thought about it again and again, and finally tried in a low voice: Eunuch Liu is now criticizing Prince Ning all over the government and the government. The emperor is convinced that if things go wrong, why not...
…
Seeing Liu Jin suddenly turning his head and looking over, Zhang Wenmian said word by word: Why don't you throw away your soldiers to protect your chariot? King Ning is just a foreign vassal who punishes his sins with lightning speed. Moreover, King Ning just chooses one of the side branches to inherit the throne as a concubine.
When the title comes, that person will definitely be grateful to his father-in-law. But this branch will find a big crime and put an end to it all to avoid future troubles.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jin's complexion suddenly changed and he sternly scolded Zhang Wenmian: What kind of bad idea did you come up with? Get out of here.
When Zhang Wenmian went out with a look of embarrassment, Liu Jin thoughtfully considered the feasibility of Zhang Wenmian's idea. Although he had received a lot of gold and silk from Prince Ning, how could he explain these days?
Someone from Ning Fan will definitely come to Beijing to beg him to say good things. It is very likely that a lot of property will be sent to him. If he really wants to put aside what he received before and send this piece together, it will be said that this time King Ning will send someone to him.
He interceded and gave many gifts, which could cleanse his reputation. As for whether the young emperor would punish Prince Ning again after seeing this, that has nothing to do with him.
In short, although this idea is likely to cause him heavy losses, it can be used as a backup. But the most important thing right now is Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe.
After Yang Shen received the reward, he fled back to Sichuan. Yang Ting and Li Dongyang seemed to have not done anything at all, but those men and women from all over Jiangxi who complained about being oppressed by King Ning were actions. Although Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe were not from Jiangxi, they were both disciples.
I don’t know how many of their disciples there are in a place like Jiangxi that is full of literati. Anyway, they must have sent disciples to interfere with it, hoping to use Prince Ning’s matter to make Liu Jin capsize. In this case, if he didn’t drive Yang Tinghe away, Li Dongyang’s idea would be ruined.
He is not called Liu Jin because of the calculation.
While Liu Jin was sharpening his sword, Xu Xun was preparing to send Zhang Zongshuo and Qi Jiliang to Xu Yanche's farewell party, who was about to set off to Baoding Prefecture to suppress the bandits. Jiang Bin, who was specially invited by him, was directly in charge of this task because of his rank.
It is not an exaggeration to suppress bandits once. However, Jiang Bin, who heard that Xu Xun asked him to attack these three young masters and had to be secretive, did not feel dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was greatly moved by Xu Xun's heartfelt words before.
Zhang Zong said that Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang were all pampered noble ministers and descendants. Although they were no better than those noble men and women, they were willing to make progress and had good intentions. But when it came to fighting, they naturally could not be compared with those like you who fought seriously. So Mingli is
Secretly, their boss is thinking that you are the one taking the lead and you need to cooperate with each other. If we succeed in one fell swoop in the future, I will never favor one against the other. Even if you leave town, it is possible. Mr. Zhuang of Datong is already a lot older. You can take care of yourself.
So now when he saw Xu Xun saying some words that made people's blood boil, he admired him from the bottom of his heart and thought to himself that this person really made the best use of all his talents and talents.
And when Xu Xun winked at him, he raised his hand without hesitation and said: Sir, you can rest assured that this time there will be 200 elite Polu Guards transferred back from Shaanxi, plus the elite young troops like the Fujun Vanguard who have been carefully trained.
With Master Zhang, Master Xu, and Master Qi dispatched from the center, we will definitely be able to catch all the bandits and thieves in one fell swoop.
Zhang Zong said that he used to be very shameless, but after walking around in Datong, he finally realized that he, a noble son, was nothing in the army without his family's name. So when he heard Jiang Bin speak like an adult, he almost choked on his drink.
When he came out and saw Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche in exactly the same situation, he coughed dryly and said: Mr. Marquis, the three of us really want...really want that debauchery...when we get to Baoding Mansion...
That's right, although it's just an act, if you really do it, I can't help you. As long as you can act well, I won't care about you. But if you ruin your reputation and ruin things...
Seeing Xu Xun's face showing a bit of a smiley look, his eyes also showed a cold light. Zhang Zong was startled and immediately stood up and said as if he was swearing: Don't worry, Mr. Hou, we will definitely do it.
Fulfill the mission
Yes, yes, I will never screw up.
We are acting and we are determined not to be so indulgent.
When Xu Xun saw Zhang Zong talking, he looked at his uncle Cao Qian. He smiled slightly and paid tribute to the three of them in person. Seeing that everyone was a little drunk, he signaled to Jiang Bin to accompany the three of them and make sure they don't get drunk.
Then he and Cao Qian quietly left the table. When they got out of the water pavilion, he stopped and looked at Cao Qian and said: "Liu Liu and Liu Qi, you go and contact me. This time, although I mobilized most of the 4,000 soldiers and horses in the vanguard of the government army, but these
If the troops and horses really suffered heavy losses, it would be unjustifiable for the whole court and the central government. After all, until now, I am still the chief seal officer of the vanguard of the imperial army. Everything is done according to the previous plan. You must be careful.
Yes, humble duty and obey orders
Eunuch Zhang's two elder brothers have both been granted the title of uncle for their merits. Your promotion has been handed down by the Ministry of War in recent days. You are probably going to command the Qian Shi Ling Zuo Guan Tang to assist the general. I hope you can catch up with your father as soon as possible. The civil servants don't like it.
The reason for fighting a war is that countless amounts of food and grass must be used in a war, and rewards for military merits and compensation for the dead cost a large sum of money. Therefore, it is better to use this money to appease the enemy than to spend it on the generals. However, some battles must be fought and must be fought.
Let’s see how we fight this time. The highlight is not Jiang Bin nor Zhang Zong, but the three of them. It’s you and me, as I said before. When the time comes to reward you, I won’t miss any of you.
Cao Qian was so excited by Xu Xun's words that he took a step back and knelt down on one knee to perform the ceremony of court attendant: A humble position must be worthy of the trust.
After making such promises to all three parties, Xu Xun came out of the house with a heavy face and touched the head of Ye Yao, who had already decided to study with Tang Yin in the future.
He signaled the little guy to go play, and comforted Ye Lu, son of Ye Guang, with a few words of comfort. Finally, he hooked his fingers and signaled Li Yifeng to follow him. He stood in the hall of Ye's house, guarding the entrance and exit on both sides, and then looked at Li Yifeng.
Those thieves in Jinan were caught in the robbery. Is there any hidden clue in Jin Yiwei?
Faced with such a straightforward question, Li Yifeng couldn't help but be stunned for a while. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, there are some, but most of them are just minions. Even better, they are small bosses, but these informants are just mediocrity at best."
The two sides took some money and food from the Jin Yiwei and reported some insignificant news. If it weren't for the thieves, many of whom were forced to become bandits by the government. They really didn't have the ability to find out the true and false status of the Jin Yiwei. We would also have had a share in the sale.
Well, if the army comes to those bandits, they will definitely be shocked. At this time, you can choose a smarter informant to give an idea to the big boss. Say that Liu Jin is in charge and the people of the world cannot live in peace. Let them kill the traitors.
This is the pretense that only Kinki can gain popularity. At the critical moment, let them go up. I suggest you distribute leaflets in Baoding Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture. Write more about helping the virtuous and punishing villains. But remember not to leave Jin Yiwei behind to get involved.
The handle of this matter
Li Yifeng broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. Although he had known Xu Xun was ruthless and ruthless from a long time ago, this move was like a chokehold. Even if Liu Jin could parry, he would definitely be overwhelmed by it, but he thought of Xu Xun's consistent protection and care for Jin Yiwei.
This time he was able to successfully take charge of the Imperial Guard because of Xu Xun's escort all the way. He made up his mind without much hesitation.
Don't worry, sir. I will definitely handle this matter flawlessly.
After all these things were settled, Xu Xun went straight back to his home from Ye Mansion and found out that his wife was holding her daughter in the corridor and looking at the lotus leaves in the pond. He went to the clean room to tidy up and changed his clothes.
Shi Shiran went to the corridor and saw a figure in a green shirt holding a little guy in a red shirt sitting on the edge of the railing. The girls and servants were standing aside with their hands down. He slowed down unknowingly...
Yo, I'm such a busy person, I came back so early today
As soon as Shen Yue turned around and saw Xu Xun, she immediately smiled and joked. Seeing him reaching out his hand to hold the child, she quickly retracted her hand and teased Xu Xun twice. He showed a dumbfounded expression before she suddenly hugged the child.
The guy handed it over, but maybe Xu Xun was holding the baby too little. As soon as Xu Ning changed people, she burst into tears. Seeing Xu Xun's fussy look, she couldn't help but smile.
If you keep wandering around and scheming people all day long, your child will not recognize you as a father.
Do you think I am willing to work so hard? Xu Xun coaxed for a long time and finally coaxed the little ancestor in his hands to gradually calm down. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Ruyi quietly retreating with the girls and servants, he sighed and said to the tree.
I want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Say it again. My future and wealth are so great that many people are unhappy. Naturally, they have no choice but to face the difficulties and fight their way out. I am not a good person. I care about reputation. It is also because I have a good reputation that I can recruit people. Wait until I can really do it.
When Ling Jueding looked at the mountains and was young, it didn't matter even if everyone shouted that I was a traitor.
ah
Seeing Shen Yue's eyes widened by what he said, Xu Xun smiled slightly, but he hugged his wife and did not continue to explain. Although Shen Yue knew that Xu Xun's words would never be without a clear purpose, she still didn't know how to say it when he spoke.
In the end, he could only cough lightly and said: By the way, Ruyi found someone else.
Oh, what a good person. When he thought of Shen Yue risking Ruyi's name to inform him, he didn't come back to his senses until she finally got married. A smile appeared on Xu Xun's lips unknowingly. She has been with you for so long. The kind of man who has a well-off family but is not very useful is so determined that he would rather choose a good one from his own family and get rid of his citizenship for them all.
Am I so inconsiderate? Shen Yue rolled her eyes at Xu Xun and raised the corners of his mouth proudly, but then sighed with regret. If Ruisheng hadn't been in that situation, their age would have been the most suitable for Tao Hong and A Bao. Although it was good, both of them were so excited after seeing Ruyi that they didn't dare to say anything about the marriage, let alone mentioning it. This was Ruyi's favorite. A well-to-do family in Daqiao Hutong, which is across the Cao River from our house, opened a clothing store. The shop is exclusively for the servants of noble families in our neighborhood. They live a prosperous life. The important thing is not that Ruyi likes the man. He has dealt with his mother several times. He fully hopes to get her as his daughter-in-law, and the man from that family is also honest. Didn't know she was such a shrewd person
Xu Xun was stunned unconsciously when he heard this. He thought it was some kind of twists and turns and bizarre story about a falling in love, but unexpectedly it turned out to be so ordinary. And Ruyi first looked at each other with his future mother-in-law, and finally fell in love with the man. However, he thought Thinking about the true meaning of life, he couldn't help but gradually started to laugh.
What a smart girl... Yes, in this world, there are fewer people like you and me, or Bohu and his wife, who have twists and turns, gone through hardships, and finally get married, and more of them are ordinary and plain, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, and then Just an ordinary person to live with, she picked a nice family, prepared a generous dowry for her, and married her off from our family.
You said yes, then I will listen to you
Sisters Shen Yue and Ruyi Qingtong were a little reluctant to hear what Xu Xun said. Thinking that they already had a daughter, Ruyi was already a grown man. If she delayed any longer, it would be too late. Although she felt a little sad in her heart, she still said with a smile. After saying this, she felt Xu Xun hugging her tighter. She reached out her hand and pinched the child's bruised face, and then said: Dad and the Xu clan have never been in frequent contact. Our family is really small. I hope Ning'er can have more siblings so that she won't be lonely in the future.
Xu Xun stood up immediately. No matter how unexpected Shen Yue was, he used his free hand to pull him up. The lotus flowers in the pond have not yet bloomed. There is nothing interesting to see. Let's go back to the room.
Go back to room
Didn’t you say you want to give Ning’er a few more younger siblings? Then of course you should start working hard from now on.
You...you are going to die...saying such things in public
This is human ethics. Why should we live or die? Okay, my lady, do you think I still have a few free days like this?
As the couple had a small quarrel, the two figures gradually moved away. A breeze came and the lotus leaves in the pond moved slightly with the wind, revealing the green water below. It was refreshing and moving. (To be continued if you like this film.) You are welcome to vote for this work, your monthly support is my biggest motivation)
