Gao Shishi did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before asking: "Judge Cen, although you are a local official, you should also know what the nature of participating in the impeachment of a Shangguan is not a science or Taoist official. Of course, since what you are telling is a special case of toast, you can do it on a special basis, and you can ignore it on this basis. What I want to ask you now is, since this incident happened three or four years ago, why did you not come to report to this mortgage until today? ”

Cen Ling said: "According to the platform, when this incident happened, the lower official did not have an official position, and the state sentence was only rewarded by the imperial court a few months after sending the lower official's nephew Yun Han to Guilin. However, since the chaos of the two Guangxi Yao in recent years, the first two Guangxi army Yin Chengchengmao, Guo Gong Chengying, Ling Gong Yunyi, etc., have all been busy for the Yao chaos in various places, although the lower officials are local officials, they also know the overall situation, and they dare not bother the imperial court at that time. ”

Gao Shishi naturally didn't believe it when he heard this, or he couldn't believe it all. It is a fact that the Yao Rebellion in Liangguang has broken out in recent years, from Yin Zhengmao, Guo Recruitment, Ling Yunyi to the current Liu Yaozhi, which governor of Liangguang has taken the eradication of the Yao Rebellion as the main task, and even the trouble of the Japanese Invaders is placed on the second side, at this time Liangguang still has Japanese attacks from time to time, but in fact, its personnel are mainly pirates of the Ming Dynasty, and the biggest Yao Rebellion recently is the Bazhai Rebellion, which was settled last year.

From this point of view, it is indeed possible that the imperial court may not be able to take care of the power disputes within Sicheng Prefecture, in fact, when the imperial court deals with similar affairs, it will often wait for the internal battle of Tusi to lose before making a move...... Ahem, I won't say much about that.

However, despite such objective facts, Gao Pragmatic would not believe what Cen Ling said and took the overall situation into account.

He is a noble son of a Tusi family, his own nest is occupied by "traitors", the head of the family is under house arrest, and the young master has to become a proton of the court.

What kind of international jokes, what kind of toast do you have this awareness, it's better to study hard and prepare to go to Yanjing to be a pavilion boss!

However, Gao Pragmatic couldn't be sure what Cen Ling's specific thoughts were at that time, maybe he didn't want his family to be ugly, and planned to recover Lingyun City by himself?

But if that's the case, why did you stab yourself again today?

Of course, suspicion is suspicion, and the praise of not wanting money can be thrown away, Gao Pragmatic naturally sent a few high hats over without a red heart and a heartbeat, and then said: "You can come to show the situation like this press, this press is appreciated, but such a big thing, this press can't just listen to your words, it must always be investigated clearly, so that it can be handled." ”

"Rest assured, the lower officials understand the reason." After Cen Ling finished speaking, he was a little speechless and stopped.

Gao Pragmatic saw it in his eyes, but he didn't mind acting with him, so he said: "Judge Cen still has something to worry about, you might as well come together, and make your own decision." ”

Cen Ling really waited for this sentence, and said with a look of Hao Ran on the horse: "The Cen family is unfortunate, there is such a rebellion, although there is the power of the court to look up to, and the righteousness of the platform to rely on, Huang Ma's rebellion is already expected...... However, if this matter is spread, it is a trivial matter for the lower officials to have no light on their faces, and they are afraid that in the future, my brother will lose his prestige, so that the people under his rule will be unstable, which will damage the peace of Guangxi, and the crime will be great. ”

Oh, Cen Ling wants me to keep it a secret for him...... It seems that he is loyal to Cen Shaoxun, and in this situation, he didn't want to borrow my hand, and at the same time exterminate Huang Ma, he also gave his eldest brother Cen Shaoxun an unnatural death.

You must know that if Cen Shaoxun also dies by the way while solving Huang Ma, then either the imperial court will let him take over Tuzhizhou, or let Cen Yunhan go back to take office, but even if Cen Yunhan goes back to take office, because he is too young, he will inevitably need his uncle to assist and say that it is an assistant, which is equivalent to "regent".

Of course, it is not impossible for the imperial court to directly change the land and return to the stream, or get a rogue official to "assist" Cen Yunhan. But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is very small, because the imperial court also has to pay for it. His behavior, for the imperial court, is to maintain orthodoxy, and even a little bit of survival and extinction, which is very important, as long as the court does not have convulsions, it is impossible to suppress such people, because this is the righteousness.

How important is righteousness to the imperial court? After the imperial court pacified Si'en that year, it inexplicably suppressed Cen Meng, and finally made such a big mess, this lesson is heavy enough. Therefore, if you make another mistake that is more serious than suppressing Cen Meng, then the court will be so stupid that it will be hopeless.

However, this matter is kept secret or not, it is only related to the Cen family, and from the standpoint of the imperial court, there is no need to worry about whether Cen Shaoxun will lose his prestige. Even Gao Pragmatic felt that the disgrace of Cen Shaoxun's prestige was a good thing for the imperial court.

The Cen clan in Sicheng is the main family of the Cen clan at present, including the nominal land
