Number of People

  Chapter 2178 Guizi Scroll mutiny put pressure on the dead end

   "Xuande, continue to investigate, I need you to continue to investigate." Feng Ziying's words were full of firmness and hints, "If the problem of Xi'an's four guards is not resolved, the city of Xi'an will not be peaceful."

   "Huh?" Chang Xuande was startled, his eyes fell on Feng Ziying, "My lord, what do you mean?"

"The Four Guards in Xi'an is an opportunity to clean up the officialdom in Shaanxi. You should know that my energy was mainly focused on military affairs before. Putting down civil unrest in northern Shaanxi and the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain was the top priority. But to tell you the truth, northern Shaanxi The situation will end soon. The key lies in the counties and counties in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain. Yin and Huazhou are also doomed, but Yaozhou and Weinan are my bottom line, if these two places also fall, the people of Xi'an will definitely be in chaos, and I, the governor, will bear the blame."

  Feng Ziying spread out and said.

  The eight censors of the Procuratorate are headed by Xiong Jianqiu from Shanxi, followed by Chang Xuande from Huguang. Among the eight censors, four are from the North, three are from Huguang, and one is from Jiangxi.

  Xiong Jianqiu has confidence in Feng Ziying, so he must persuade Chang Xuande, a native of Huguang, to support him, so that he can firmly grasp the power of the procuratorate's censor.

  With the support of the procuratorate censor, he, the governor, can be invincible in the officialdom, and even Lu Chuan can no longer make waves.

Similarly, the censor of the procuratorate has his own support, and he can also launch an attack on the chief envoy and the procuratorate, knocking mountains and shaking tigers, forcing the chief envoy and the procuratorate to do things according to their own plans, instead of setting up obstacles for themselves everywhere. Yang obeys and Yin violates.

"I don't have much time to spend with some people like this. I have to break this lukewarm situation. If you don't want to do it, get out. If something bad happens, I will take them down, or drag it until tomorrow." In spring, if the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi resonates at the same frequency and there is chaos, it will be difficult for the king of heaven and Lao Tzu to clean up."

Chang Xuande has also worked as a censor for ten years, so naturally he will not be easily moved by Feng Ziying's words, and after pondering for a while, he said: "My lord, you have to bow your head to the chief envoy, or send Mrs. Lu Dismount?"

"Hehe, Xuande, you really don't shy away." Feng Ziying laughed, "Let's put it this way, if Lu Chuan is willing to cooperate with me to clean up the situation in Shaanxi, I will not hesitate to give him a decent chance to leave, but you Do you think he can agree to my conditions? He has been deeply involved in Shaanxi for so many years, and he has been involved in the affairs of the Four Guards in Xi'an. It's just that Sun Yijie was too timid to lift the cover because he was too timid to cover up the lawsuits for personal gain. To put it bluntly, his brother-in-law's monopoly of grain transportation and livelihood on the Weihe River is enough for him He has fallen into the abyss, are there fewer reports from the Metropolitan Procuratorate that suppress him? But he still doesn't know how to love himself, you don't know these things, right?"

  Chang Xuande is speechless, a left-handed political envoy, a high-ranking official, how can the censor be able to get rid of him with a few reports of impeachment? There is no one behind them.

  Fang Congzhe and Lu Chuan had a close relationship. During the holidays, the gifts Lu Chuan gave to Fang Congzhe in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing and Fang's hometown in Deqing had to be packed in carts. Who didn't know?

It is the censor of Youdu who came from afar, and Liu Yixiu, the current minister of the Ministry of punishment, is not the same as Lu Chuan. Is the stunned head of the copper head green?

   "My lord, you have to think carefully. If you want to move him, the city of Xi'an will have an earthquake, and I'm afraid it will cause an uproar in the court." Chang Xuande sighed.

"There will be an earthquake in Xi'an, and I will take care of it! As for the court, I have already sent a letter to Ye Xiang. He should understand my difficulties. The situation in Shaanxi cannot be delayed. Just like Shanxi, it will be like this if it is delayed. , if the imperial court does not take timely measures, Shanxi will be the next Shaanxi, and the situation will be even worse, and it will also spread to the Central Plains. Shaanxi is a frontier, but Shanxi is a heartland."

  Feng Ziying's words did not reassure Chang Xuande, he asked: "Has Ye Xiang replied?"

Feng Ziying shook her head, "Xuande, you still don't trust me? How could Ye Xiang reply to this kind of thing, and he sent a message to express that he knew about it. It's already a face-saving thing. Anyway, Fang Xiang's face is not bad, and he can help me when the time comes. In Fang Xiang's place, Amitabha Buddha can be seen slowly, and Fang Xiang also has steps to go down."

  If Feng Ziying said that there was a reply, Chang Xuande would not believe it, but when Feng Ziying said so, Chang Xuande would believe it.

   And he didn't have a better choice. Xiong Jianqiu must follow Feng Ziying, and the leader of his own village, Ying Zhen, strongly supports Feng Ziying. Now that the Beidi and Huguang scholars have formed an alliance, there is no reason to hold back.

  After thinking about it for a while, Chang Xuan Decai asked the most critical question: "My lord, there are many soldiers in the four guards. If they are instigated to make trouble, the city of Xi'an can't afford it."

   "Xuande, the Guyuan Army has arrived at Muling Pass." Feng Ziying smiled.

   "Ah?!" Chang Xuande was taken aback, and then recalled that this person is the right servant of the Ministry of War.

In the next few days, the censors of the procuratorate became more and more aggressive, and many officers were taken away and detained one after another, and a series of local officials were implicated. The last line pointed to a chief envoy. Chang Xuande directly announced that he was suspended pending investigation and accepted the review.

  Liu Mansion.

  Liu Yuanpei restlessly paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and waited until the sound of footsteps came from the front yard, then he couldn't wait to go forward: "How is it, Zi Quan, what does the governor say?"

"The Governor refuses to intervene in the investigation of the Procuratorate,..." Qiu Ziquan looked downcast, "The people in the Procuratorate are trying to dig our roots, if this continues, those people below will be forced to rebel against us, ..."

   "Hmph, not only that, Mr. Lu will not let it go, they have started to attack the chief envoy. It is too obvious who this is pointing to. What is the governor going to do?"

  Liu Yuanpei couldn't understand it. Does Feng Ziying really want to feel sorry for Lu Chuan? Can't we all live in harmony?

  You want to overthrow Lu Chuan, the family dominates, will the court agree?

"What should we do now?" Qiu Ziquan sometimes gritted his teeth, sometimes dejectedly, "We don't care about Mr. Lu, and we don't care about the censor who wants to move the chief envoy. He has the ability to trouble the procuratorate, but we are below Those **** are careless, and now they are making a fuss, and if they reveal our affairs, we..."

Liu Yuanpei's face was also sullen, "Feng Ziying came up with a trick for us, not forcing us to go out to fight, but using the censor of the procuratorate to investigate the case against us, only targeting the officers and not the soldiers. Make a good idea, how can there be such a cheap thing?"

   "Old Liu, what should we do now?" Qiu Ziquan became impatient, "We must take countermeasures, otherwise we will either be imprisoned, or we will only be the ghosts of those people!"

   "Just do what you want!" Liu Yuanpei curled his mouth, "Arrange people to do things!"

  Qiu Ziquan was a little timid after hearing what Liu Yuanpei said, "For the Censor of the Procuratorate, it's still..."

  Liu Yuanpei glared at Qiu Ziquan, "You are crazy, there are countless masters around the governor, and there are hundreds of personal soldiers. Ordinary people are looking for death. Yu Shi, you might as well give a warning..."

   "I'm afraid it won't be of much use." Qiu Ziquan immediately shook his head: "How can the governor back down just because the censors are warned, do you think he is that kind of person?"

   "Then what do you think?" Liu Yuanpei hesitated and said, "Mutiny? But in case it is uncontrollable and the fake becomes real, those **** below will not recognize anyone."

Qiu Ziquan also felt that it was difficult to deal with. It is easy to fan the mutiny, but it is difficult to calm down. The key is that they may not be able to control the subordinate soldiers in the end, especially when they feel that the censors are targeting When they come, it is even more impossible to give up easily.

"Then can we find two more reliable ones with a smaller scale, and then we will give some benefits and let them go back to camp just by shouting at the governor's office?" Qiu Ziquan gritted his teeth and said, "No If that's the case, I'm afraid the governor will not give up."

  Liu Yuanpei rubbed his temples in pain, "That's another sum of money. If you don't have 8,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid I can't deal with the gangsters under me."

  Qiu Ziquan gritted his teeth: "I will offer three thousand taels, let Lao Xie offer two thousand, and you will offer three thousand. Don't count on Lao Chen. He is too busy to take care of himself now, and is being watched closely by Yushi..."

"Let's do it this way. I'll arrange for the two ministries to take to the streets and go directly to the governor's office. You will watch over the governor's office and persuade Feng Ziying not to act rashly. He has one or two hundred soldiers, all of whom are veterans of Datong. , be sure to control it and not mess around, otherwise something big will happen." Liu Yuanpei urged Qiu Ziquan.

Qiu Ziquan nodded and stood up, then turned back immediately, hesitatingly said: "Old Liu, I still feel a little worried, you have to pay attention to how to operate this, don't make it self-defeating, a few must be controlled , don’t mess around, if you really overdo it, it will kill you.”

Liu Yuanpei also knew the pros and cons of it, and sighed, "I understand, it's just that these **** have been tossed a little out of balance by those censors during this period of time, I'm afraid they won't be able to control it, so I can only watch it myself It’s over, I can’t do it, I’ll change into a soldier’s clothes inside, and explain my interests to them, just to force the governor’s yamen to suppress the procuratorate to stop, I have no other intention,…”
