Chapter Twenty-Seven: This Is a Rebellion!
The next morning, Anlu.
Anzhou Thorn Shi Cai Ze walked on the street on horseback with a solemn face, and he was restless and always felt that something was wrong.
Yesterday morning, the general who guarded the city the night before privately revealed to him that there seemed to be a movement of troops and horses in the barracks outside the city that night, but they were far away, and they could only be seen going east in the night, and they could not see how large they were.
The position of the governor of the state governor's office, the governor has jurisdiction over the military and civilian affairs of the states, and it is said that the barracks outside the city are directly under the governor of Anzhou, and he has no right to intervene in the history of Anzhou, and even the governor of Anzhou can remove him from the post of assassin of Anzhou, but now that it is an eventful autumn, he has to sleep with one eye open, and this time the soldiers and horses can't help but take it to heart.
A few days ago, the two sons of his boss, Anzhou Governor Yu Wenliang, came to Anlu, although they didn't make a noise, they didn't deliberately cover it up, so he also heard about it.
Although it is not known how the two of them left Chang'an without being appointed, there is something wrong with the fact that both his father and son are in Anlu.
As the head of the party holding the military power, Yu Wenliang let all his family members move to the state to live, is this to prevent future troubles? What does he want to do!
The first emperor died at the beginning of last month, and the court was disturbed for most of the month and finally the dust settled, and the left prime minister, Yang Jian, the duke of Sui, was in charge, so it was time to choose a side and take sides.
Cai Ze naturally chose Yang Jian's side, fools can see that Prime Minister Zuo has a good chance of winning, as for how he will treat his grandson emperor in the future, let's talk about it, the first emperor didn't take the Great Zhou Jiangshan seriously, why should they, who are courtiers, work hard for the young emperor?
He analyzed the current situation in his heart: Prime Minister Zuo has already recruited Zhao Wangyu Wenzhao, Chen Wangyu Wenchun, Yue Wang Yuwensheng, Dai Wang Yuwenda, and Teng Wang Yuwen to Beijing, that is, to prevent the clan from making waves, as for Yu Wenming and Yu Wenwen, I am afraid that it was Prime Minister Zuo who let the two of them slip out.
As the clan leading the troops outside, Yu Wenliang's opposition to Yang is almost a foregone conclusion, and now that even his son has been brought in, it is estimated that he is preparing, but what can he do if he starts an army?
To the northeast of Anzhou is the Yuzhou Governor's Office, and Zhou Shao, who is about to take office, is the person of Yang Jian, the prime minister of Zuo; Yuan Jingshan, the governor of Huangzhou in the southeast, is the person of Wei Xiaokuan, the Duke of Yunguo, and the Duke of Yunguo is rumored to be ready to take over the position of the governor of Xiangzhou, it seems that he is on Yang Jian's side, so it is self-evident what attitude Yuan Jingshan has.
Needless to say, on the opposite side of the Yangtze River in the south is Chen Guo, and in the west and northwest is the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, and the Governor Wang Yi is Yang Jian's old classmate, so he will naturally not choose the wrong side, and further north is the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, and the Governor Dugu Yongye is the brother of Dugu Jialuo, the Duchess of Sui, and the fool turned his elbow outward.
In this way, the Anzhou Governor's Mansion has been tightly surrounded by the governors on Prime Minister Zuo's side, and if Yu Wenliang does not take risks and dare to raise troops, it will be a situation of catching turtles in an urn.
As the history of Anzhou Thorn, as the history of Anzhou Thorn who chose Prime Minister Zuo's side, Cai Ze decided to seize the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Yu Wenliang will rebel sooner or later, if he can nip all this in the bud when the rebellion is about to start, then it is not impossible to serve as the governor of Anzhou in the future!
You have to keep your eyes open and keep an eye on the three of him, father and son!
Cai Ze made up his mind, his expression finally relaxed, and after coming to the Yamen of the governor of Anzhou, he dismounted and walked in alone.
Yesterday, the governor of the governor's office, Shi Du Shijun, informed the principal officials of the prefecture and county in Anlu to come to the yamen today to meet with them and discuss important matters.
After all, everything is normal in Anlu at the moment, there is nothing strange about personnel appointments and dismissals, and Yu Wenliang's two sons have stayed in the mansion all day and have not seen any activities around, so the abnormal movement of soldiers and horses the night before was just accidental?
Entering the lobby, there were already some officials gathered together in twos and threes, some talking about official business and some chatting, Cai Ze greeted everyone with a smile on his face, and listened quietly to the content of others' conversations.
Another official arrived one after another, but at this time, Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, still did not appear, and just when everyone began to be a little impatient, Shi Dushijun, the governor of the governor's office, came with a young man.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Du Shijun clasped his fists and saluted everyone in the hall, and then introduced the young man next to them: "This Lang Jun next to this official is the prince of Qiguo, and he is secret." ”
Yu Wenming smiled and saluted the officials: "My father often said that your colleagues are the pillars of Anzhou and have contributed to the society, and I have seen you here. ”
I see, a few days ago, I heard that the two Langjun of the chief manager Yu Wenliang came to Anlu, and they haven't seen any of them visit, but now they are specially introduced?
Everyone returned the salute, and suddenly one of them asked if the chief manager had not been in good health since yesterday, and if so, we should visit one or two to fulfill the friendship of colleagues.
The others listened intently, after all, this is what they want to ask.
"The chief manager received an emergency military situation the day before yesterday to go out to deal with it, and the special officer was appointed to act as an agent." Du Shijun looked around the hall and said loudly: "Bring it up!" ”
I saw a general come to him with a box, and then he opened the lid as he was instructed, and everyone gasped when they looked at it:
There turned out to be the head of Ru Kuan, the recorder of the Governor's Mansion, who joined the army!
"Yuan Jingshan, the governor of Huangzhou, intended to rebel and colluded with this person to attack An Lu, but fortunately, the governor saw the opportunity and immediately ordered the official to kill this fang." Du Shijun said loudly, the bloody head and his voice made the officials in a trance, "Now that the rebels who attacked Anlu have been defeated, the chief has an order to arrest the traitors who colluded with the Yuan rebels!" ”
Cai Ze looked at the head of Ru Kuan in the box in front of him, his face was pale and his hands trembled, and his heart seemed to have set off a storm:
Yu Wenliang really wanted to rebel, he really rebelled!
"You're a rebellion!" Cai Ze roared hoarsely, "What evidence do you have that Yuan Jingshan is rebelling, you are really going to rebel!" ”
"Bold Cai Ze! Do you think you met with Ru Kuan in private yesterday and don't know about it? Do you think that Yuan Jingshan promised you to be the lord and manager of Anzhou? Do you think that Yuanjingshan colluded with the southern thieves and intended to offer the southern annexes of An and Huangzhou, and no one knows? "Du Shijun's series of questions of 'righteousness and strictness' hit everyone's hearts, and they looked at Anzhou Thorn Shi Cai Ze in amazement.
Cai Ze was confused and dumbfounded by this series of questions, he met with Ru Kuan yesterday, but what Du Shijun said then was completely out of nowhere, he felt that everyone's eyes were shocked that Du Shijun could not be reversed like this, and was about to argue but was interrupted by a loud shout:
"Come on, pull Cai Yi and a group of accomplices down and cut them down!"
Hulala rushed in outside the hall and a group of armor soldiers rushed towards Cai Ze, he struggled desperately and shouted: "Traitors, you are"
Before the words were finished, the blood splashed the head and fell to the ground, and everyone looked at it, but it was the prince of Qiguo who drew his knife and beheaded Cai Zexiao, "Traitor, dare to bewitch the public!" ”
He looked around at everyone with a bloody saber: "My father has an order, and the governor of the palace, Shi Du Shijun, temporarily arrests the rebellious accomplices on behalf of the military, and if there is any disobedience, he will be killed!" ”
"Everyone, everyone!" Du Shijun clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention to him, "The chief believes that most of you present are loyal ministers of the imperial court, and I also ask you to actively expose the traitors and fellow thieves."
At the same time, the northern border of the Huangzhou Governor's Office, and the state of Beijiang Prefecture governed Luguancheng.
A middle-aged man in the Yamen of the Assassin Shi splattered blood in the lobby, and a young man dressed as a general next to him held his head and shouted loudly to everyone in the hall: "Yuan Jingshan, the governor of Huangzhou, conspired against him and died, and whoever dares to rebel will end up like this person!" ”
"This is a rebellion!" Beijiang Governor Shi roared and rushed towards him, "You dare to attack and kill the Yuan Governor and forge official documents"
The entourage beside the young man suddenly rushed forward and slashed him to the ground: "Traitor! The governor of Anzhou has led the army to quell the rebellion and take Huangcheng, you still dare to make a mistake! ”
"Yuan rebels intend to attack Anzhou, and then the land of Anzhou and Huang is attached to the Southern Dynasty, do you want to be a thief in the south!" The young man shouted.
The rest of the entourage he brought with him drew their swords one after another and confronted the guards who rushed outside the door, although the guards were outnumbered, but the few attendants were not afraid, and the atmosphere inside and outside the hall was tense.
"I am Yuwen Wenwen, the second son of Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, as a clan and a feudal lord of the imperial court, I have no regrets even if I die at the hands of traitors today."
The young man was Yu Wenwen, and he looked at the people in front of him without changing his face and shouted:
"Why are you and the courtiers of the Great Zhou attached to the treason!"
All the officials under the hall looked at each other, this assassin history and long history are the henchmen of the new Huangzhou governor Yuan Jingshan, they are just ordinary officials who take the money to do things, why bother with this 'Sunset County Prince' to die or live, who wants to participate in the affairs of his Yuwen clan!
"I don't dare to kill my father, and I refuse to purge the rebel party, do you want to sit back and wait for the Zhu clan!" Yuwen Wen saw that their position was loose, and took advantage of the situation to press forward step by step.
"I'm willing to help the county public clear the rebel party" Someone finally took the first step, and then others also followed up and expressed their positions, Yu Wenwen nodded when he saw this, and asked them to identify the henchmen of the same party who assassinated Shi, and then pulled them out one by one to cut off their heads, and then wrote down the confession for everyone to draw.
Soon a group of cavalry from the south drove into the city to take over the city defense, Yu Wenwen was relieved at this time, he sat at the gate of the barracks in the city and watched the generals sent by his father reorganize the army.
"Lord Lang is really brave!" Yuwen Fifteen stood beside him and poured water with a kettle, "The scene is so exciting!" ”
Exciting, of course exciting, if you start to stab Shi later, the head will be robbed by you!
Yuwen Wen drank the water and couldn't help complaining in his heart, Yuwen Fifteen belongs to people who are crazy and is not stage frightened at all, and when he submitted the official document, he hesitated a little and wanted to draw a knife to grab someone's head!
Early this morning, the Anzhou army, which had succeeded in a surprise attack on Huangcheng, sent envoys to the six prefectures under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou, including Hengzhou, Bazhou, Beijiangzhou, Nandingzhou, Qizhou, and Yizhou.
Beijiang Prefecture is located on the north side of Huangzhou, the state of Luguan City is more than 70 miles away from Huangcheng, Yuwen Wen took the initiative to ask Ying to take Yuwen 15 and a few brave soldiers to leave before dawn, early in the morning came to Luguan City with official documents to come to the Yamen to find the history of the assassin's urgent report. ’
Thorn Shi is ascending to the hall to deal with the full hall of public officials, he entered the lobby and grabbed the head by presenting the official document, Yuwen fifteen slashed over the long history with a knife, and the master and servant duo plus a few stupid and bold people relied on this to suppress the field.
After all, according to real history, Yang Jian's subordinates used two or three people to lead the assassin who opposed him out and beheaded him in the name of passing official documents.
Originally, his father Yuwenliang did not agree with him to act in person, and Yuwenwen had to live and die to grab this errand, because he learned through the officials of Huangcheng that in this Beijiang Prefecture, except for the assassin history and the long history of Yuanjingshan, who were airborne from Yuanjingshan, the other officials were all 'rice worms' who watched Yulu do things, and as long as the assassination history and the long history were 'seconds', they could basically control the situation.
Another important reason is that Yu Wenwen has to make meritorious contributions, and only after making a name for himself can he recruit people, otherwise who knows what kind of birdman you are 'Sunset Jungong'? If you rely on your father to allocate people, they will treat you as a rich man, you can play, eat, and drink together, but they will not accompany you to play with your life.
It's very simple to convince these foot-picking men, and to convince people with merit!
Now that he has learned from the Eastern Han Dynasty Ban Dingyuan, "if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger", presumably it will be easier to recruit troops and buy horses next.
Tense his nerves in the lobby and play confrontation with people, and now that he has relaxed, Yu Wenwen is still a little afraid, as a noble child born in the military merit group, this body that is possessed by his soul is proficient in riding and archery like the children of other Guanlong groups, and there are more people who kill people and see blood, otherwise he will go crazy by playing 'role-playing' with his head in front of him like he did just now.
He began to think about building the skeleton of his team: it seems that Yuwen Fifteen is a material, and those stupid and bold are not bad, go back to his father to support him to get a cavalry of hundreds of people, and then pick some foot soldiers to practice.
The lobster soldiers of the British Empire don't have to think about it, there is not enough iron, not enough money, not enough gunpowder, not enough territory, and more importantly, not enough time.
In this era, heavy cavalry is popular, and I don't have the capital to play 'galloping horses', so I can only find a way elsewhere.
Finally relieved, he took Yuwen Fifteen and a few stupid bold people to leave slowly, and the roar of Governor Shi in the lobby echoed in his ears again: "This is a rebellion!" ”
'Rebellion? Yuwen Wen sneered in his heart, nothing else for the time being, now that Prime Minister Zuo and Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, are righteous in hand, the anti-Yang behavior of his father and son can indeed be called rebellion, but these loyal ministers of the Great Zhou who denounced themselves for 'rebellion', when Yang Jian really slaughtered Guangyu Wenzong's family and poisoned his grandson to establish the Sui Dynasty, who would reprimand him for rebellion?
It seems to have remembered a righteous and stern voice in my ears: the Great Zhou Yuwen clan moved against the trend of the times to prevent Emperor Wen of Sui from establishing the Sui Dynasty and unifying the Central Plains......
Let's go against the trend of the times, anyway, I'm not convinced!
