Chapter 488: Undercurrents
These days, the news of Dongchang's large-scale arrest in Shandong has come one after another, which has made the atmosphere in Beijing tense, and the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are waiting for the news and secretly preparing.
But the next piece of news made Jingshi calm again in an instant.
Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong Army to Qingzhou Mansion for only half a month, won seven battles and seven victories, beheaded thousands, quickly assessed the civil unrest, and was on the way to return to the court.
The civil unrest rises quickly, and so does it fall.
There is no trouble in the local area, and the people in the capital will more or less understand the final outcome of this matter, and naturally no one dares to be any backer for those "chaotic parties".
The Criminal Department is still the book of Li Yangzheng's house.
After last year's imperial examination case, the Donglin power of the imperial court was basically purged, and Li Yangzheng is also the only one who has had close contact with the Donglin Party among the six Shangshu today.
Of course, he can still sit in this position now, which is also the reason why he broke off his relationship with the Donglin Party in time during the major case of the imperial examination.
For Wang Weijian, the governor of Shandong, who heard the news of Tang Wanfeng's arrest, this was the last straw he could grasp.
No matter what, it's confined to the local area after all.
If a gang member in the Beijing division can pull a criminal department secretary into the water, then a large group of officials will inevitably follow him.
At that point, things will go up another level.
No matter how strong the emperor is, he can't clean the place and the capital again, and it is easy to lose the hearts of the people.
In fact, Wang Weijian's calculation was very right, when it really came to that time, it was indeed difficult for Zhu Youxiao to do that, and kill Jingshi again.
It's one thing to clean the place, it's another thing to clean the court again.
No matter how you arrest and kill people in the local area, it's just a change of vested interest groups and a manual shuffle of the cards.
After the last imperial examination case in the court, there has not yet been a pattern of confrontation between the two powers, and this time Zhu Youxiao is to push Wen Tiren's Zhejiang Party up and compete with Wei Zhongxian in the court.
The balance in the court is very important, once this balance is broken, the court situation will be chaotic, and the court will be in chaos, so there is no need to mention any place to restrict.
Most of the local officials are also linked to various bigwigs in the court.
Therefore, Wang Weijian did grasp the key point, and if the new situation of the Zhejiang Party confronting the Wei Party was not formed, Zhu Youxiao would not do it lightly.
Li Yangzheng has a habit of eating supper.
He especially liked to order the servants in the house to sit down in the empty courtyard full of stars in the dead of night, with a few dishes and a pot of wine, and enjoy it alone.
This day was no exception, Li Yangzheng just took two mouthfuls of adzuki beans and chewed them in his mouth, and then filled a small glass of Fuzhong wine, and before he could drink it in his mouth, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over.
"Master, there is a person who came all the way from Shandong, saying that he has something important to say and meet the master."
"At this time, the people from Shandong also said that there was something important to tell him..."Li Yangzheng muttered, Mei Zizi said that the wine was put into his mouth, and he smashed it:
"There won't be anything good, don't see it, so as not to get into trouble."
The housekeeper answered, and hurried back to reply.
After a while, the butler hurried back again, this time with a little anxiety on his face.
"Master, that man said that he was a servant of Wang Weijian, the governor of Shandong, if the master was gone, he would sit outside the house and not leave..."
"Ridiculous!"
Li Yangzheng glared at this side and sneered:
"If he doesn't leave, he won't leave, I eat my wine, what does it matter to me?"
"Go out and tell him that even if he sits here until dawn, I won't see me, sir! Wang Weijian waded into troubled waters by himself, and he still wanted to take me, what do you think. ”
"Hmph, according to Master Ben, it's best to stop in the place, if you have to mess up the Jingshi, they will be satisfied?"
"Tell the servant to drive him away for me, and if he appears at the door, he will be beaten, and if he can't leave, he will be beaten, and he will not be killed."
"At this time, there can be no accidents..."
The steward had gone, and when he had given the order, he came back to serve on the side, and when he saw that the glass was empty, he hurried up to fill it, and asked:
"Master, I think this is just a matter of the new salt law arresting a few people, is it so evil?"
Li Yangzheng took a bite of the side dish and said with a smile:
"I'll tell you, this is not the most evil, your majesty is only in his early twenties, but he is not a good person."
"Just keep your eyes open and watch carefully, no one can stop the implementation of the new salt law."

(The following is not the original text)
The little one understands. ”
The family smiled knowingly, turned his head and walked out.
......
In the south of Kaifeng City, hundreds of people are looking forward to it, and Zhu Youhua is also among them.
A group of about a dozen or so horses came from afar, although the number was not much, but the flags were all over, the clothes and armor were distinct, except for the Fu character in the middle, two big flags were raised on each side.
Left side: "Ordered by the Governor of Shaanxi on the three sides"
On the right side: "The right squire of the Qin's military department and the right servant of the imperial history"
After Fu Zong's dragon horse team, there was another general who jumped on his horse, and the soldiers behind him raised the flag and strode forward.
Left: "Governor Jingying Rongzheng"
On the right: "Palm print of the Chinese military governor's mansion British duke"
After the horse team of the governor of Beijing, more than 2,000 Beijing soldiers followed, and the soldiers on both sides of the Beijing army were holding a banner slightly lower than the governor's banner, and there was only one word written on it.
Walking in front, for Fen, Yao, practice, show the four martial arts camp, in the middle is the four brave battalions of daring, fruit, effect, and drums, and the one responsible for the back of the palace is the standing, stretching, Yang, and Zhensi Wei battalion.
The Beijing army wore cloud-wing helmets, wore big red deep armor, and stepped on black and red cowhide boots, and on one side of the boots, there were also official knives, which were completely different from local officers and soldiers from head to toe.
They were all majestic and high-spirited, carrying spears in their hands and shining silver knives at their waists.
The Fifth Military Battalion, this is an ace army with a legendary record.
Looking at the equipment and momentum of these Beijing troops, and then looking at his subordinates, Wang Shaoyu felt ashamed for the first time.
The sound of approaching horses' hooves stopped precisely under the Ying'en Gate, and I saw several men from the ranks turn over and dismount, standing in a row.
Fu Zonglong, the new governor of the three sides, looked at the civil and military forces of Kaifeng City, who had been waiting for a long time under the city, turned over and dismounted, and took a few steps forward.
"The last general, Wang Shaoyu, the general of Henan, has seen the governor!"
"Xiaguan Henan Governor Gao Mingheng, see Governor Fu."
"Hurry up, please." Fu Zonglong bent down and said, "This governor has just arrived, and he still needs the help of his colleagues to live up to the emperor's high expectations and pacify the liukou. ”
"Governor, please, the lower official has set up a banquet in the official residence to catch the wind for the lord!" Gao Mingheng stepped forward and said.
Fu Zonglong said with a smile: "There is no need for a banquet, the governor is here, and he sees that the countryside along the way is deserted, the people are not happy, and those tigers and wolves are still catching people everywhere, and even the old and weak are inevitable." ”
"The imperial court has repeatedly provided disaster relief, and the hungry people everywhere still have nothing to eat, and they are starving all over the wilderness, how dare this governor steal peace?"
After that, Fu Zonglong walked into Kaifeng City as if no one was around.
