Mrs. Wei's younger brother, Wei Mianfeng, is currently serving as a Confucian official in the Ziqing Zhidu Mansion, assisting the envoys in collecting taxes from the four states, with great power and benefits. If the right to collect the two taxes is paid, this benefit will be gone.

Li Shidao said with a smile: "There are many troubles in the collection of the two taxes, the internal friction is too great, and the income is not enough to lose, but it is not as ruthless as throwing this burden to the imperial court, but also to win the name of loyalty and filial piety." ”

"Phew. If you want that empty name, I want to benefit, you pay the two taxes, what does my San Lang do? ”

"He? He...... I transferred him to the military palace? ”

"Phew, my Saburo is a person like a crepe, you want him to mix with a group of military men to learn badly, what do you think in your heart."

"I, I don't have any bad intentions, you can tell me yourself, what do you want him to do, just ......"

"Don't just want it, I want it, I want him to go to the local place to experience the experience, you let him be a county magistrate first, and after three or five years of experience and maturity, then reuse him."

"The county magistrate is a pro-people official, with complicated affairs and heavy responsibilities, and he has always been floating on the top, and he is not familiar with the things below......"

"It's the unfamiliarity that makes him familiar."

"No, I mean, let him be the county lieutenant or the chief bookkeeper first, get familiar with it first, and then ......"

"Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?! Erlang, you haven't been a handsome man before, don't you do the same thing, the world praises you for your wisdom, you just give him a chance. ”

Mrs. Wei saw that her hard words could not scare her husband, so she turned to a gentle and considerate tone, she sat in Li Shidao's arms, pushed her husband, and offered a fragrant kiss warmly.

Li Shidao's heart suddenly softened, and a certain part became hard.

"I asked him to do Mu Ping...... No, Fee County...... Full section ...... Shou Zhang ...... East...... Ping County Order. ”

Li Shidao wanted to offer the right to collect taxes in the twelve states of Ziqing in exchange for the imperial court to grant him a thrift. The discussion is developing in the direction that is beneficial to Li Shidao, if it is not for Wang Shuwen's resolute opposition, or the big thing has already been accomplished.

Li Shidao heard that his teeth itched with hatred for Wang Shuwen, and ordered Ziqing's imperial history to impeach Wang Shuwen's dictatorship, and the impeached imperial history was immediately expelled from the capital, but after this incident, Wang Shuwen also felt Ziqing's anger and his attitude eased.

The two families calmly sat down and began to bargain, and it was at this time that the news came that the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and in a coma.

The two sides felt the pressure on each side, and negotiations accelerated, and a number of agreements were soon reached.

Li Mao learned through Chen Shu that Li Shidaozheng and Wang Shuwen had a secret conversation, and immediately summoned all the generals and ordered all departments to pay close attention to the movements of Ziqing and prevent the Pinglu army from making small moves in private.

The generals were puzzled, Zhang Ye only came to comfort him a few days ago, and Li Shidao also gave in to the court, how could he raise troops to attack again at this time?

Li Mao invited Jin Daoan and Xia Chun to inspect the camps, and once they found slack, they would be severely punished.

The two patrolled the camp to He Sancai's Fengya camp, and saw that the sergeant was not wearing armor and not hanging a knife from his waist, and was busy supporting bricks with mud.

Xia Chun asked an old man: "Didn't He Commander tell you to be on strict guard?" ”

The old man replied: "He Tongzhi went back to the township to go to the grave, and now it is Deputy Envoy Lai who stays behind, and he said that our barracks are too small, and we need to rebuild and repair them taller." ”

Kim Daoan was furious and ordered the accompanying guards to bring Lai Yongchun, who was left behind in the barracks, to interrogate him.

Lai Yongchun was not convinced, and shouted loudly: "Our brother worked hard for Li Zhongcheng, and he worked hard to get to where he is today, what kind of thing are you a goryeo dog?" Dare to take care of me? ”

Xia Chun ordered Lai Yongchun to be beaten with thirty military sticks in the name of insulting the commander, and as soon as the Marquis Yu was about to start, Lai Yongchun's sworn brothers howled and surrounded him, surrounded Jin Daoan and Xia Chun, shouting and shouting to kill.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Chun protected Jin Daoan to hide in a nearby temple, and when he entered the door, he accidentally slipped and fell, was caught by the rebels, dragged him to the open space outside the temple, and beat him severely, not only broke three or five ribs, but also cut his hair by the rebels. In the end, Lai Yongchun personally gouged out one of his eyeballs, stripped him of his clothes, and threw the dying Chinese army protector Marquis Yu back to the temple.

When Li Mao heard that He Sancai's ministry mutinied, he was furious, and urgently dispatched Wei Xiangcheng and Wei Guanhai's department to suppress it.

Qin Mo persuaded: "These two people, one is the tofu army, and the other is the women's army, what can be done by transferring them?" Don't suppress it, but be suppressed. ”

Li Mao said: "He Sancai is a farmer, a hunter, a pig maker, and a merchant, and he is a righteous person, everyone is convinced of him, and other people are afraid that they will not be able to do it." The Wei brothers came from different backgrounds, and they couldn't get used to the poor people, so they were the only ones who could be ruthless. As for whether he is the Tofu Army or the Women's Army, he is not afraid, does He Sancai dare to have the courage to rebel? ”

Qin Mo exclaimed: "Why didn't he dare to rebel, did he rebel less?" This Lai Yongchun is his sworn brother, and these people recognize them as villagers and siblings, and they have always helped their relatives and not helped. ”

Li Mao said: "At this time and that time, He Sancai will not rebel." ”

Qin Mo said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, this will affect the whole body, this in case...... Also, He San is Liu Wu's person, you are really not afraid......

Li Mao stopped and asked, "What should you do in your opinion?" ”

Qin Mo said: "Recently, there are often people with copper tiger heads in the camp, so it is said that the copper tiger head is bad, instigating our brothers to discord, killing a few people who provoke trouble, and turning big things into small things." ”

Li Mao said: "It's easy to be perfunctory, what to do in the future, I'd rather force He Sancai to go against him than start this." You immediately go to He Sancai's house and call him over, but if he refuses to come, he will be arrested. ”

He also called Shikong Shixiong brothers, Huang Renfan, Ma Hedong and others to come in, mobilize the army, change the key password, and prepare for a military solution once He Sancai's troops rebelled.

All preparations were stopped, and then Tian Lu was invited to come to the military palace to sit in the town, so that Wei Bojun could be mobilized to participate in the suppression at any time.

Liu Wu was inspecting the defense in Gushan Town, and when he heard that He Sancai's department mutinied, he hurried back to Caozhou City, and immediately asked Li Mao for his guilt: "I am guilty, today is the death day of He Sancai's mother, he wants to go home to sweep the grave, and ask me for leave, I think his home is only half a day's journey away from the camp, and if you go back quickly, you can delay anything, so I agreed to him on my own initiative, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen after he walked on the front foot." ”

Li Mao said: "I'm used to being a bandit, and I can't change it for a while, I don't blame him." But this Lai Yongchun is really not like a joke, if he is not severely punished, where is the majesty of military discipline, and how can he order the three armies in the future. ”

Liu Wudao: "This Lai Yongchun was originally a scoundrel, and he repeatedly committed crimes when he was in the righteous army, this time he disobeyed the military order, instigated chaos, and seriously injured Yu Hou, not killing is not enough to establish authority." Please ask the commander to quickly dispatch the military horse to take this guy to ask for the crime, if his subordinates are opposed, I, Liu Wu, ask the first three hundred to swear to break this thief. ”

Liu Wubao He Sancai does not protect Lai Yongchun, this idea is the same as Li Mao's, he wants to kill a hundred people to make an example and deter the whole army. But Liu Wu's protection of He Sancai also made Li Mao feel very uncomfortable. (Dissertation College)
