When Zhou Tai heard the word "secret edict", he couldn't help but froze for a moment. He immediately faced the north and kowtowed, saying: "Wei minister Zhou Tai, the magistrate of Bei Tongzhou, listens to the edict. //"".com""Novel Network//"
Liu Chengfeng took out a piece of yellow silk from his sleeve, unfolded it and read: "In Tongzhou, which is also the capital of North and South Tianjin, there are chaos and trouble caused by the chaos. I am very worried about it. I specially order Liu Chengfeng, a thousand-household guard in Jinyi Guards, to conduct a thorough investigation. Civil and military officials, who hear this edict, must listen at all times and make no mistakes..."
When Zhou Tai heard this imperial edict, his heart was filled with turmoil again. The weight of this secret edict must not be underestimated. What is the concept of civil and military officials below the governor? If Liu Chengfeng took this secret edict out, wouldn't he be near Gyeonggi Province? All armies and horses must be under the control of Liu Chengfeng, and governors everywhere must rely on his breath?
What is this? This is the Holy Family. At this time, Zhou Tai thought to himself, even if they are cabinet bachelors, they may not be so relied upon by the palace. But then again, just because they are cabinet bachelors, there will be no such thing in the palace. For such an edict, the Ming Dynasty has always had subordinate officials overpower superior officials. It is precisely because Liu Chengfeng is only a member of a thousand households that he is so confident in handing down his power, just like the settings in various ministries. In fact, this is also the reason. Officials with a low status are often entrusted with important responsibilities, and can even compete with the ministers. This is because officials with low status often have no power and are far inferior to the ministers and ministers who have disciples and former officials all over the world. They are used to control the ministers of various ministries. Nothing could be better.
There is also the Yanguan. It seems that his rank is not high, but his power is not small. Even the cabinet bachelor's tiger's beard dared to touch it. This was also the reason for doing so.
As a member of the Qianhu family, Liu Chengfeng is only a fifth-grade military attache. This is probably why the emperor is willing to delegate power. To put it bluntly, Liu Chengfeng's power is given by the palace, so he must rely on the emperor to make this secret decree effective. But If he were a big boss in the DPRK, none of these people would have their own system, with disciples all over the place. If they were given such great power, if this person had any evil intentions, he would not be so easy to control.
Although this is true, being able to get such a secret decree shows that the palace trusts and relies on Liu Chengfeng. Zhou Tai was ecstatic in the letter at this time. He originally thought that Liu Chengfeng just had a holy family, but now it seems that he only has a holy family. I'm afraid that this holy family will not be taken lightly. It's hard to say how much luck you will have when you go to the capital city in the future by relying on such a big tree.
After all, the official thing is good sometimes and bad sometimes. How many people have stayed in this county magistrate position all their lives, which is nothing more than being transferred from Beitongzhou to Sizhou, or from Sizhou. It's just a transfer from the state to Zhangzhou. ("", watch the latest update of this book) The key here is actually to have someone promote you, someone must recognize you, remember you, and know your benefits. Zhou Tai has been in officialdom for a long time, and those of his own age , some of them are still living in the lower county, and some have already achieved great success. The grandfather living in that county does not care about grandma, and is frightened by anyone who meets him, but the ones who have become successful are doing everything they can, with their backs against the towering trees. , to call upon the wind and rain.
To put it bluntly, those who have achieved great success do things more smoothly than others because they have good backers.
But Zhou Tai was different. Zhou Tai didn't have such an opportunity, so he decided to rely on Liu Chengfeng. Although Liu Chengfeng was only a member of a thousand households and a military attache, he had a holy family, and it was said that he could enter and leave the palace from time to time, as long as he appeared in front of the emperor too many times. Say a few kind words and your future will be secured.
Zhou Tai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I accept the order."
He stood up, and of course he understood that things must have come to a critical juncture when Liu Chengfeng came up with the secret decree. Whether Beitong Prefecture will be in chaos, and whether Zhou Tai can seize this opportunity to perform meritorious deeds depends on today.
"Liu Qianhu, I just don't know what to do as a subordinate?"
Liu Chengfeng put away the secret decree and said: "This time, Beitongzhou is going to go on a killing spree, but before the killing spree, I still have some things to do. What Mr. Zhou has to do is to do it before I do it."
When the time comes, set up a good cover for me so that no one can know my whereabouts."
Liu Chengfeng was much younger than Zhou Tai, but at this time, he actually patted Zhou Tai on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Mr. Zhou, you and I are quite close friends. Now that things have happened, I will give you an explanation."
If you are careful, everyone who stays in Beitongzhou will be in some danger, but the matter is urgent and someone must stay behind. If I can come back, that's all. If it's a step late, Mr. Zhou, please take care of yourself."
A trace of horror flashed across Zhou Tai's eyes. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter. This time, someone was going to die.
But Liu Chengfeng didn't say any more, and he couldn't ask any more questions, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Bei Tongzhou is here, and Zhou Tai is here."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said nothing more. What he ordered Zhou Tai to do was actually very simple, which was to 'visit' Liu Chengfeng at this Qianhu residence every few days.
Liu Chengfeng disguised himself and left Beitongzhou, leading a group of cronies and leaving overnight.
Naturally, Liu Chengfeng's departure cannot be known to others, otherwise it will inevitably alert others. However, in order to deceive others, it is necessary to let others know that Mr. Qianhu is still in Qianhu, but he can't hide out. Therefore, Zhou Tai is allowed to visit occasionally. In fact,
I just want to tell others that Liu Chengfeng is still in Beitongzhou. After all, Zhou Tai and Liu Chengfeng have a close relationship. When Zhou Tai comes to Qianhu Residence, who else can he talk to except Liu Chengfeng?
On Wang Tao's side, he had already received the order. Master Liu was ill and no one was there.
In Beitongzhou, it was a bit quiet. On February 19th, the first batch of grain had arrived, so the wharf in Beitongzhou suddenly became lively, and countless grains were stored in the Caosi granary.
At the same time, the military preparations are as follows, and the thousands of households under the jurisdiction have stepped up their vigilance to make sure there is no mistake.
This is a very ordinary order. After all, the ship has arrived, and the grain shipment is of great importance. It is natural to step up the alert. However, this time the deployment is much stricter than before. In previous years, it was just a formality, but this year
, but it is extremely strict,
For example, among the five docks in Beitongzhou, three of them are outside the city. In previous years, it was enough to transfer one thousand household offices out, but this year, three thousand households offices were transferred, forming three within the city.
Qianhusuo, the layout of three Qianhusuo outside the city.
At the same time, three thousand households in the inner city went in and out of the Military Preparation Road Yamen every day. It seemed that the Inspector-General attached great importance to this year's prevention and ban.
In fact, it is understandable that the Inspector attaches great importance to this matter. Such a big thing has happened in the past few months, and the rebels in Beitongzhou have not yet been identified. Now it is at the juncture of the ship entering Tongzhou.
It is understandable that Bing Beidao is a little nervous here.
However, many people couldn't help but mutter in their hearts that it was a bit fussy for the Inspector General to send three thousand-household police officers outside the city just to guard a few docks. After all, the most important thing in Tongzhou was the granary in Beishi City, not the docks.
But in Beitongzhou, what Bing Beidao says is natural. Who dares to say anything?
At the same time, in Beitongzhou, many rare guests were also welcomed. These people were all riding on passenger ships, and they were all dressed like merchants and servants. However, these people were obviously different from ordinary merchants and clerks.
There were thousands of people in each boat. When they arrived in Beitongzhou, they immediately found an inn to live in and stopped showing their faces.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of news caused an uproar. One night, a fire broke out in the newly built Treasure Building. The fire was so intense that the Treasure Building was razed to the ground overnight. Fortunately, it was at night, so few people were injured.
Naturally, the Qianhu Station of Jinyiwei was furious. On the second day, led by Chen Hongyu, he led hundreds of households to go out to hunt for 'thieves' everywhere. After this effort, many people were arrested and arrived at the Qianhu Station.
Most of these people are not innocent and naturally attract a lot of criticism.
It was said that Jin Yiwei Qianhu Liu Chengfeng was making a fuss out of a molehill. It was just his own private property that was on fire, but it caused such a big fuss.
After hearing this, Bingbei Road, it was said that the Inspector was furious and threatened to write a letter to impeach Liu Chengfeng for his evil deeds. After the memorial was written, he immediately asked someone to report it. Huang Zhen let out a long breath.
Sitting on the chair.
In his eyes, there was loss, fear, and unwillingness. More importantly, there was a kind of exhaustion, a kind of exhaustion that came from deep in his heart.
When things have reached this point, he can't look back, and he doesn't know what his fate will be. He has been a thief for one day, and he will never be able to clean up from now on. So, he can only bite the bullet and carry on, and this
At that moment, he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he believed deeply that and
According to Shang's words, I think that this time, Beitongzhou was destroyed and the traffic between the north and the south was blocked. With the energy behind the monk, maybe the war can really start, and finally the Ming King will rule the world. Maybe, by that time, he will change from a
Only sinners can become heroes from the dragon.
The reason why Huang Zhen believed the monk's lies was because he was deceiving himself. He had no choice but to believe in the monk. Although he felt that the chance was slim, he was convinced that he would succeed.
"Sir..." A servant came in abruptly and bowed slightly to Huang Zhen. Although he called him "sir", his tone was as if he was discussing.
Huang Zhen said: "What? What happened to the three thousand households in the outer city?" Huang Zhen took a deep look at the guard. In the past, he might not even be able to look at this guard. After all, a guard on duty, to him, Huang Zhen
It's really not worth mentioning. It wasn't until a few days ago that he realized that this officer was already that
The monk's people, that is to say, the monk has already set up an informant in the Bingbei Road. Thinking of this, Huang Zhen couldn't help but shudder. The energy of this monk is really not small. Since someone can sneak into the Bingbei Road, other yamen
Only God knows how many people in each household are that monk.
