The residence of the governor of Shandong is located in Zizhou Mansion, and Ge Mingxuan has been here for many days.

For so many days, he has been working very hard to provide disaster relief to various places, but the effect is not very good, and all kinds of bad news are still coming, which makes him haggard.

Liang Jia's judgment of Ge Mingxuan is still very correct, but he is very rich, but he pays too much attention to his previous experience and cannot combine it with reality, and his ability to deal with government affairs is seriously insufficient. If it weren't for his seniority and fame, he would not have been able to enter the Administration Office at all.

When Liang Jia's holy decree was delivered to Ge Mingxuan, seven days had passed.

Originally, it took two days at most to travel from the capital to Zizhou Mansion in Shandong, but because the ground in Shandong was full of rogues, the eunuchs who passed the decree went all the way around and hid in Tibet, so it was not easy to see Ge Mingxuan.

After listening to the content of the holy decree, Ge Mingxuan's expression became extremely depressed.

This result seems to have come a little earlier. He knew that as the emperor gradually grasped the power in his hands, as an old minister, he was destined to be the one who would be cleaned up. But I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

What surprised him even more was that the emperor actually quelled the rebellion with the power of thunder, and this ability is worthy of recognition.

Although he was extremely disappointed in his heart, he still faithfully carried out Liang Jia's orders. Since ancient times, the idea of loyalty to the monarch has been deeply rooted, and Ge Mingxuan did not feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

He just wanted to be a minister in power, realize his inner ambitions, and at the same time strive to achieve the ideal state of the emperor who dreamed of the sages and ruled the world by civil officials. Rebellion, he didn't think about it.

The Minister of Administration, who was transferred from the person in charge to one of the administrative affairs, was demoted to the current governor of Shandong, and his official rank was not reduced, but his power was not the same.

Although Ge Mingxuan felt very disappointed, he still tried to do his own thing.

After Ge Mingxuan received the holy decree, Xu Yinghe of Dezhou Mansion had already arrived in the capital.

Xu Yinghe only brought 300 Qin soldiers into the city. After entering the city, he went home to visit his cousin Xu Ziping as soon as possible.

Seo Young-hyuk thought that his cousin was already very lucky, but when he entered the bedroom where his cousin was resting, he found his cousin lying on the bed, looking at him with a smile.

Xu Yinghyuk looked puzzled, took a closer look, and didn't find anything wrong with his cousin, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, they all said that you were poisoned and unconscious, what is going on now?" ”

Xu Ziping smiled, pointed to the stool on the side and motioned for Xu Yinghe to sit down, and then said, "You know the news, but you don't know the intention of being a brother?" ”

"Stay out of the way?"

"To be precise, it should be to avoid suspicion. Look at Liu Zhongzhi, now he doesn't know where to go, which is the best proof. ”

"Liu Zhongzhi participated in the rebellion?" Seo Young-hyuk was surprised.

Although he did not appear, there must be his shadow behind the methods of the King of Fuzhou. It's just that I don't know where he's hiding now. Moreover, the emperor could not catch the evidence of Liu Zhongzhi's participation in the rebellion, and now he can only hang it. ”

"But these things have nothing to do with you, brother? Take this opportunity and you should be able to go further. Look at Zheng Yechuan, he has become the first assistant. ”

"Zheng Yechuan is just used by the emperor to block the mouths of civil officials, and the current administration office is the emperor's mouthpiece." Xu Ziping said with a smile.

"What are you going to do, brother?"

"The emperor asked the general of the army transferred from abroad to return to Beijing to report on his work this time, the purpose is to control the army. But your position will not change much, and it is estimated that you will go to Shandong to quell the rebellion. Although Zhao Qingzhong's side still can't calm down in a short time. But Zhao Qingzhong has lost his sharpness, and it is only a matter of time before he is destroyed. But Shandong is different, and the turmoil will directly shake the security of Gyeonggi, so the emperor will definitely transfer you to Shandong for judgment. ”

"Shall I go?"

"Of course. The Xu family will rely on you in the future. Xu Ziping leaned his head back and said leisurely.

"Brother is resigning?" Xu Ziping was taken aback.

The generals who were transferred abroad have always been the objects of jealousy of the imperial court. If it weren't for Xu Ziping being in the center, how could he Xu Yinghyuk be safe and sound. If Xu Ziping resigns, Xu Yinghe loses the help of the court, and wants to continue to command the army, it is unlikely, after all, he is not the emperor's descendant.

"It's about time. The emperor has taken power, and even if an old minister like me retains face for a while, he will still be cleaned up in the end. Rather than being kicked out, it is better to resign voluntarily. ”

"If my brother is not in the court, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to transfer troops abroad."

"So, going to Shandong is your chance to prove yourself. I believe you know very well how to do it. The emperor's action this time can be described as dangerous and dangerous, he used the rebels to plow the capital almost once, and virtually cleared a number of forces. In the precarious situation of the palace, he was able to arrange a counterattack without hurrying, and this forbearance and scheming were admired by his brother. ”

Seo Young-hyuk nodded with a serious face. Like Xu Ziping, after learning the content of the rebellion in the capital, Liang Jia also sincerely admired it. Especially the Dongchang that was made silently, a group of eunuchs have been trained for a period of time, and their combat effectiveness is so strong, given time, it will be a great help to the emperor.

There is also the Jinyi Guard that will be established, the city defense battalion that has been completely controlled, and it will be the emperor's talisman in the future, and it will not be so easy for others to do something.

As for what his brother said he should do when he arrived in Shandong, of course he knew, but his brother's sudden resignation still made him very uncomfortable.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is an eternal law, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong, after all, from the emperor's point of view, this is a necessary action. However, when it comes to him, it doesn't feel very comfortable.

"Originally, I thought that Daliang's national strength was exhausted, so I kept a hand for my brother, and was ready to wait for the troubled times to come, so as to protect my Xu family. Unexpectedly, the Liang family will come out with another talent, and it is estimated that the Great Liang Kingdom will last for a hundred years. Xu Ziping muttered.

"In the next hundred years, my Xu family will continue to be linked to the imperial court?"

"Of course, do you have a better option?" Xu Ziping asked rhetorically.

Seo Young-hyuk fell silent. Although King Qing in the south looks fierce, he actually has little future for development, because he has no popular expectations. As long as the imperial court solves the problems in the north and sets its sights on the south, King Qing's defeat is doomed.

As his brother said, Zhao Qingzhong has completely lost the momentum of the past after the last defeat. The rogue has lost his momentum, so there is nothing to fear.

Now the threat to the emperor in the imperial court has been almost cleared, and the external threat comes from the border between Shandong and the north.

There is resistance from the border troops on the other side of the border, and it will not be a big problem for a while. If it is not solved well in Shandong, it is very likely that it will be the second Zhao Qingzhong. This is also the reason why the emperor attaches great importance to Shandong.

The two brothers talked in the bedroom and set the future of the Xu family. And in the palace, Liang Jia fell into a frenzy again with scratch cards.

"Congratulations on winning the lottery and getting the big event 'Rise of the Heroes', this event will randomly break out within a year, and the consequences are unknown."
