Chapter 50: Two Cases

Before Lu Ning left for Daizhou, he received an urgent report signed by Li Jingyi, Xu Wendi, the governor of Jiangnan Dongdao, and Zhu Kuangye, the envoy of Jiangnan Daying.

However, it is said that in the investigation of the murder case of Wang Jin, the great treasurer of the East China Sea Baixing, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty and the Hou Li Jingqi of Shunyang County, he peeled back the cocoon layer by layer, and found that it was indeed the Ge family because of the conflict of interest with Wang Jin in the Quanzhou maritime trade, and the children of the Ge family secretly planned the matter.

But he didn't want to, in the process of Li Jingkui's investigation of the case, the Ge family began to plan a rebellion, especially when he heard that the Holy Son of Heaven personally invaded the north and left the Beijing Division, the Ge family began to instigate the old and bribe the officials of the old dynasty, and even the Jiangnan battalion had three battalion commanders and more than a dozen low-level military attaches involved.

Fortunately, the clues were discovered early, the rebellion was suppressed before it started, and the Ge family was raided, but several important figures were on the run, and Xu Wendi and Zhu Kuangye even ordered the implementation of an arms ban system in the states of Jiangnan East Province to investigate the remaining members of the Ge family.

Lu Ning frowned, after all, the Li family in Jiangnan has been in business for many years, and now it is newly surrendered, including the soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion, most of them are also the original Southern Tang Dynasty soldiers, and the Ge family felt that it was a dead end if they didn't resist because of Wang Jin's case, so they made a desperate bet.

Nowadays, Jiangnan East Road should be an undercurrent.

However, the brother-in-law Xu Wendi and the old handsome Zhu Kuangye should not make Jiangnan rekindle the flames of war, after all, the people of Jiangnan have just lived in peace, and most of them will not be instigated.

Brother-in-law Xu Wendi, who is already old and seeking stability, Zhu Kuangye was a famous general in the East and West when he was young, and now he is old, making it difficult for him to expand his territory, but it is naturally more than enough to stabilize a corner of the place.

Zhu Kuangye was originally an important minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, after Li Jingsui ascended the throne, he was demoted to the commander of the Qinghuai Army, and he went south to conquer the south, Zhu Kuangye surrendered with the Qinghuai Army, but he had a high prestige in the Southern Tang Army.

Speaking of which, Zhu Kuangye is good at training heavy-armored giant swordsmen, but the Southern Tang Dynasty often has no heavy armor and no giant swords, but now, it is carried forward by himself, such as the Red Tiger Army, there are assault battalions, five hundred heavy-armored swordsmen, and they are unstoppable.

Zhu Chongjun, the eldest son of Zhu Kuangye, followed him most of the time, and from the time he led a small number of soldiers and horses to take Wuchang City, Zhu Chongjun led a hundred giant swordsmen to follow.

Later, Zhu Chongjun served as the commander of the Red Tiger Army Assault Battalion, that is, the Giant Sword Battalion.

He went to Hunan and Guizhou to crusade against ghosts, and Zhu Chongjun followed him all the way.

When he was in Guizhou, he followed his three commanders of the Red Tiger Military Battalion, namely Lu Yachang of the Pioneer Battalion, Zhu Chongjun of the Assault Battalion, and Jiang Bin of the Quanzhang Battalion.

I told the three of them that the Wen Zongyuan was the identity of Qi Tianzi.

Today, Jiang Bin remains in Guizhou as the commander of the Zunyi Army, the deputy commander of the Red Tiger Army of Lu Yachang, and Zhu Chongjun as the commander of the Shenwu Army.

The Shenwu Army, as an infantryman, also had a tactical unit with high mobility and horseback, and followed its own Northern Expedition.

It is to Zhu Kuangye, he is extremely relieved.

Come to think of it, the Ge family is in Jiangnan, and they can't make any huge waves, but on the contrary, they can make the new dynasty wash the old wealthy families in Jiangnan.

Speaking of which, the sleeping king is so good that he can't die, but now he is dead, but there are exactly two big cases in his own country, one is the Jiangnan Ge case; One is the Song Yanwu case in Bianjing.

Song Yanwu's case has also been investigated, but the situation in the capital is also very tense because of his case.

In particular, a few days ago, Si Chao was deeply implicated in the raw business secretly operated by his son and Song Yanwu.

This shook the officialdom in the capital, after all, Si Chao is one of the seven most important people in the cabinet.

Speaking of which, should I or should I not personally lead the Northern Expedition now?

Isn't it better to sit in Jingshi?

This idea, Lu Ning has been pondering all the way, however, after arriving in Daizhou, his heart has also been settled, he is away all the year round, and one of the benefits is that he has formed a set of balance mechanism in the Jingshi cabinet, Mo said that Si Chao, the cabinet of the seven giants, did not show his intention to rebel, that is, he also passed Liao, and a cabinet of ministers made great changes in the capital, so he did not need to go out of Beijing in the future.

Not to mention, the 10,000 forbidden troops who stayed in Beijing were driven by no one except themselves, and they were also the backbone of maintaining the stability of Bianjing.

And the expedition to the north, whether they are pro-conquest or not, has too much impact on morale.

The five generations of male lords all like to be pro-conscript, which also extends to Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi brothers, and even if they arrived in Song Zhenzong, they never had a career as a horse, and the education they received from birth was the Four Books and Five Classics, but they were still forced by Kou Zhun and had to be pro-conscripted. Of course, Song Zhenzong, as a peace faction, although the pro-campaign greatly boosted morale and achieved good results, it also enabled him to take the opportunity to make peace with the Khitan. However, from the strategic point of view of Song Zhenzong, he personally conquered Lanzhou, repelled the Khitan attack, and promoted peace negotiations, and the purpose of the personal expedition was also achieved.

As for the Khitans, needless to say, Empress Dowager Xiao habitually drove the expedition in person, and her sister and Han even personally conquered Mobei and opened up thousands of miles of land for the Khitan.

Of course, these pro-conquest masters are rarely like themselves, and they really charge into battle.

……

Yunzhou City.

On the main street, there are many shops and restaurants with wine flags, and the shouting of the bartender is mixed with the noise of the long street, interweaving into a unique rhythm.

Yelu Shanbu frowned and rode slowly on his horse, still a little unaccustomed to the life customs of the Central Plains.

He was the king of Meng's father Chu, and was commented by the clansmen as "pure and intelligent", the first emperor was murdered by his close servants, and Emperor Tianzan succeeded to the throne, and he was very distrustful of the southerners, and sent the right leather room to be detailed and stable, and the general guard Yelusha was the commander of the southern border affairs.

Yelu Shanbu served as the general of Niu Qianwei and the envoy of the Datong Army, and took over the defense of Yunzhou.

In addition, Yelushan came to Yunzhou and also shouldered a secret mission.

The first emperor was murdered by his close servants, and Empress Xiao, the empress of the first emperor, was suspected of having an affair with her close servants, and was demoted to a lady and sent to Yunzhou to be secretly imprisoned.

If the convicted nobles are not executed, and there are old departments, it is almost customary to send the old land of the Bohai State to house arrest, or send the southern land to be imprisoned, so that they are cut off from the old news, and there is no military force to rebel in the land where they are distributed.

Yelu made up for this, and Xiao Siwen, the minister of the north, hinted that he would poison Queen Xiao to prevent future troubles.

Speaking of which, the first emperor has never been close to women, except for the queen, there is no concubine, let alone an heir, but obviously, Emperor Tianzan still refuses to let go of any unstable factors.

It's just that......

Jerushampu sighed deeply.

I heard that this famous beauty in the clan was born with a cloud and a long time, and she was very virtuous when she was young, how could the first emperor have anything to do with her indiscriminate killing of his close servants?

In my mind, the beautiful figure in a white silk robe and a double drooping edelweiss belt suddenly appeared.

Yesterday, I couldn't help but be curious, and went to see the former emperor and queen who was imprisoned, but it was better not to see ......

was in a state of confusion and hesitation, and on the side, someone suddenly laughed: "General, when will we go south to fight Grass Valley?!" ”

The one who spoke was the Yunzhou Detailed Stability Division and the Detailed Stability of Yelu Gulu, who was in charge of the tribes of the Yunzhou Lands under the Yelu Shan supplement.

In the land of Yunzhou, there are not many Khitan tribe households, less than 1,000 households, half farming and half pasture.

Listening to Yelu Guru's words, Yelu Shanbu frowned slightly, this is another annoyance.

The Qi people's military horses were mobilized in a big way, and when they heard that the sea had banned commerce, Yelu Shanbu didn't think that as Yelu Guru thought, the Qi people were just trying to contain the military strength of the Great Liao, so that when it destroyed the Han Kingdom, the Great Liao had no time to rescue.

However, the new emperor Emperor Tianzan has always had no good impression of the southerners, and he is also like this towards the Han State, and he doesn't really want to care about the life or death of the Han State.

Yesterday's news that the Han army in Yanmen Pass had surrendered to the Qi people, Yelu Gulu was overjoyed, so that he could go south unscrupulously to fight the grass valley, not like before, because the Han land is the land of the emperor of this dynasty, and the warriors of the Yunzhou land can only occasionally sneak to the Han land to plunder.
