Pengze County is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Jiujiang, and the speed will be three days away.

When they arrived at Hukou, Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, sent someone to greet Shi Kefa and his party. Hundreds of troops escorted Shi Kefa to Yan Yingyuan's camp.

"Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, has seen Yuan Fu." Seeing Shi Kefa, Yan Yingyuan was very excited. Shi Kefa's reputation is very great, and his integrity and honesty are also admired by Yan Yingyuan.

"Governor Yan doesn't have to be polite. What is the situation in Jiujiang now? Shi Kefa didn't say too much and asked directly.

After defeating Zheng Sen, the riot army expanded to more than 40,000 people, and the soldiers were strong and strong. More than 40,000 rioters are guarding Jiujiang City, and even their subordinates have no way to ......."

Yan Yingyuan was very uncomfortable introducing the battle situation, he knew that he might not be able to hide Shi Kefa from a set of rhetoric.

Fortunately, Shi Kefa only listened carefully to Yan Yingyuan's words and did not ask any questions.

"This pavilion is in accordance with His Majesty's holy decree to appease the rioters, and I also ask Governor Yan to assist in contacting the rioters and send me into Jiujiang City." Shi Kefa made a direct request.

Yan Yingyuan's face showed a look of embarrassment: "Yuanfu, there are rioters in Jiujiang City, and the lower officials are worried about Yuanfu's safety." ”

Shi Kefa smiled slightly, and handed the newspaper to Yan Yingyuan: "With this newspaper here, no matter how rampant the rioters are, it should be silenced!" ”

Looking at the newspaper in front of him, Yan Yingyuan didn't dare to say more. Since his family knows his own family affairs, what is the situation of the Jiujiang rioters, can Yan Yingyuan not know? However, although Yan Yingyuan was the governor of Jiangxi, he was not responsible for the affairs of the rioters.

Shi Kefa also knew that although Yan Yingyuan was in the line of the King of Qi, there should be someone else in charge of the riots, and most of the people in charge were in Jiujiang City, as for the identity, Shi Kefa could also guess one or two.

Since Shi Kefa insisted on entering Jiujiang, Yan Yingyuan had no choice, so he sent someone to pretend to contact the rebels, and then sent an army to escort Shi Kefa to Jiujiang in a carriage.

The inside and outside of Jiujiang City were heavily guarded, and a team of soldiers with red silk at the head guarded the main road, and after strictly inspecting the arriving Shi Kefa and his party, they were escorted into Jiujiang City by a team of soldiers.

"Yongqing, do you see the difference between these Jiujiang?" In the carriage, Shi Kefa lifted the curtain and looked at the street, and after a long time, asked Yan Ermei.

Yan Ermei watched through the curtain on the other side, and lowered the curtain when she heard the words.

"Elder Ge, look at the order in the city, everything is in order, the pedestrians on the street do not look panicked at all, and even some shops are open as usual, this is not like a city occupied by rioting soldiers."

Shi Kefa nodded: "Where is the thug, it's just deliberate." ”

As early as on the way to Jiujiang, the two of them had a guess about the situation in Jiujiang, whether it was the motive or the result of the rioters, they alluded to a situation, and now they saw the situation in Jiujiang City with their own eyes, which confirmed their conjecture even more.

Shi Kefa and his entourage were placed in the pavilion, and after a long time, a soldier with a full beard came to the pavilion and said that he was the leader of the rioters.

Shi Kefa didn't pay attention to him at all, looked out of the hall with his eyes, and just said lightly: "This pavilion has no time to waste, let the real person in charge, Liu Neng, come to see me." ”

The bearded soldier's face changed greatly, and he forced himself to say: "What nonsense, what Liu Neng?" I'm the leader! ”

Shi Kefa refused to pay attention to him anymore, and shouted for a while, and the bearded soldier could only leave helplessly.

After a while, another person walked into the room, and Shi Kefa looked up, but it was Liu Neng, the former governor of Jinyiwei.

"Yuanfu, as the so-called see through and don't say it, it's embarrassing for you to make everyone like this." Liu Neng sat opposite Shi Kefa with a wry smile. Since he was named, he had to come out to meet.

Shi Kefa sneered: "Hmph, no matter how embarrassing things are, you have done all the embarrassing things, since you dare to do it, what is there to see?" ”

Liu Neng laughed: "Yuanfu, the matter of the lower officials is unknown, how did you guess that I was here?" ”

Shi Kefa said: "What's so hard to guess about this? Although Your Majesty has removed you from your official position, he has not removed you from your title, nor has he held you accountable.

With your means and strength, there are countless ways to control Jinyiwei, how can you easily let Lu Zonghan succeed you?

But you just surrendered the power in your hands, and disappeared without a trace. Then there was the Fujian Ainengqi Rebellion and the Jiangxi Riot.

Fujian rebels, I guess the main person behind it should be Qian Fenglin, and Wang Yin is an accomplice. Only they can make such a huge momentum and conquer the city and be invincible. And your ability is not to conquer the city, but to play conspiracy. That's why I'm the one who is the mastermind of the Jiujiang Riot Army.

The right-hand men of the King of Qi in the south are just you, blocking Yinxi Zheng Sen's 80,000 troops down the river and reaching Jiangdong, how can you let others deal with such a major matter? ”

Liu Neng couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Admiration and admiration, it is worthy of being the first assistant of the dynasty, the head of the officials of the world, the prudence of the mind of the Yuan Fu, and the brain turning so fast, Liu Neng is not as good as himself!" ”

Shi Kefa smiled faintly: "In this case, Uncle Liu's intention for this pavilion should be clear, right?" ”

Liu Neng smiled: "Of course." Although Yuanfu is relieved, the day King Qi arrives in Nanjing, it is the time when the rioters are appeased! ”

Shi Kefa nodded and said: "In this way, I have also completed the imperial mandate I bear, and when the King of Qi enters Beijing, it will also be the time for me to resign and return to my hometown." ”

Liu Neng was surprised: "Why did Yuanfu say this? How do you mention that you have resigned and returned to your hometown, but you are in your prime, far from the age of Zhishi? ”

Shi Kefa shook his head, and said disheartenedly: "The ups and downs of officialdom, the ups and downs of life, when I was a jinshi, I also vowed to do something great to live up to this life, and now I am full of expulsions, and I can reunite and reproduce the prosperous world again, and I have no regrets even if I resign." ”

Liu Neng asked, "Yuan Fu can be because of the matter of Di Bao?" But is it because of Qian Qianyi? ”

Shi Kefa shook his head and didn't say much.

Liu Neng couldn't help but smile: "Although Yuanfu can rest assured, is Qian Qianyi?" He has exhausted all his calculations, but the King of Qi will never do what he wants.

In King Qi's heart, Qian Qianyi is the first rat at both ends, he only has his own interests in his heart, and there is no court and Ming Dynasty at all, how can such a person be the first assistant?

Shoufu, and only a person like Yuanfu, who is honest and loyal to the country, can take responsibility! ”

......

During the negotiation, Yan Ermei, as a staff member, had been standing beside Shi Kefa, and after Liu Neng left, Fang said to Shi Kefa with admiration: "The elder is really wise, and he guessed the fate of Qian Muzhai at once. Sure enough, King Qi and his family had a very bad impression of Qian Muzhai.

Congratulations, the time to return to the cabinet is not far off! ”

Shi Kefa smiled faintly: "It's not difficult to return to the cabinet, but the difficulty is how to deal with the relationship between His Majesty and King Qi in the future." Although Your Majesty has succumbed now, I am afraid that he will not be reconciled. ”
