Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 9 The Great Tribulation

Chapter 1 The Difficulties and Disasters of the State Arise

Section 10 Fighting the Autumn Wind

On the morning of the third day, a total of 40,000 soldiers of the East Road Army and the West Road Army were ready to go, and Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, were all dressed in military uniforms and rode in front of the formation, ready to lead the army to the battle. At the same time, Liu Yunwei and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, led the generals of the Middle Route Army and the generals who stayed in Taiyuan to come to march for their comrades.

Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng successively took the Zhuangxing wine handed over by Liu Yunwei, said a few words that boosted morale arrogantly, and then drank the full bowl of spirits in their hands.

Liu Yunwei looked at the officers and men of the East Route Army and the West Route Army who were slowly advancing along the official road, and said secretly in his heart: "I hope that the officers and soldiers of the two armies can win the victory, and I hope that our generation can pacify the army of thieves as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can I go north to Liaodong with peace of mind! ”

Liu Yunwei sighed with emotion, and then hugged his fist at Xu Dingchen and said: "Lord Xu, this governor is also going to set off with the whole army, and Taiyuan City will be handed over to you!" ”

Xu Dingchen nodded solemnly, and said politely: "Please rest assured, the old man will do his best to guard Taiyuan City with the soldiers!" ”

Liu Yunwei was about to give the order to assemble the army and prepare to set off, but was gently dragged by Guo Yi, who came in a hurry. Liu Yunwei glanced at Guo Yi, only to see him shaking his head slightly, so he understood in his heart, sued Xu Dingchen, and then came to a secluded place with Guo Yi.

"What's wrong?"

"Inspector Qiqi, Master Wu Fu is here, and he is now waiting in the school grounds, saying that he has something important to discuss, please go back quickly."

Liu Yunwei couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and he wanted to hurry up and be polite to Xu Dingchen, so that he could rush back to the school with Guo Yi to deal with this matter, so as not to delay the time for the army to go out. Who knew that Guo Yi didn't move, but pulled Liu Yunwei again, as if there was something left unfinished.

"What? What else? ”

Guo Yi said with a pale face: "Supervisor, the imperial court also sent someone here, saying that it was on the orders of His Majesty, asking us to hand over all the seized money and grain to the imperial court. ”

"What!" Liu Yunwei was secretly taken aback, he didn't expect the appearance of the imperial court to be so ugly, so he asked, "Who is here?" Is there a decree from His Majesty? ”

Guo Yi said indignantly: "One is Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, and the other is Zhao Dongqing, the head of the household department, those two just kept urging the superintendent to go back, and did not show His Majesty's holy decree. ”

"One is a cronie around His Majesty, and the other is the Donglin Party, what do they mean?"

Liu Yunwei thought for a while, then smiled thoughtfully, and then said: "Okay, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it!" We'll go and talk to them later. The order was passed down, and the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion and the Vietnamese cavalry battalion drove to the south gate to assemble and standby, and another 1,000 soldiers from the pacesetter battalion were transferred to stay in the school grounds. Tell the leading generals that during the march of the army, no one can take a tael of silver or a grain of grain from the school without the order of the governor! ”

The foyer of the school grounds.

After Liu Yunwei and Guo Yi arrived together, they saw Wang Chengen and Zhao Dongqing, the household servant, chatting quietly, and there was hot tea on the table. Liu Yunwei looked inside the front hall and didn't see Wu Fu, so he glanced at Guo Yi quietly.

Guo Yi stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Wu is waiting in your room, the two of them don't know that Lord Wu is also here." ”

Liu Yunwei had a plan in his heart when he heard this, so he stepped forward with a smile and saluted Wang Chengen and Zhao Dongqing.

"Haha, Inspector Liu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I heard that Inspector Liu is about to set off to conquer the army of thieves, fortunately, the miscellaneous family is here quickly, otherwise this mission will really not be easy to handle."

"Where is the princess, if there is anything, the father-in-law can just tell him, why do you have to run in person?"

Wang Chengen smiled, and no longer played haha with Liu Yunwei, so he briefly introduced Zhao Dongqing, the household servant, and then said straightforwardly: "Inspector Liu, this time the miscellaneous family and Lord Zhao came thousands of miles away, just for the money and food involved in the case of the Eight Great Jin Merchants, this is a timely rain!" It is just right to alleviate the current financial predicament of the imperial court. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunwei couldn't help but sneer and said, "Could it be that the imperial court is in difficulty at present? Now Donglin Xianchen is all over the court, with these righteous ministers, how can the court have any difficulties at all? The prince is serious! In the opinion of this governor, the court is very good now! ”

Zhao Dongqing is a typical pedantic minister, open his mouth and close his mouth, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, whenever he argues with others, he can always stand on the moral high ground and suppress the other party to death. At this moment, Zhao Dongqing saw that Liu Yunwei had something to say, and his heart instantly ignited a raging fire, like a competitive rooster, he took two steps forward quickly, and said, "What does Inspector Liu mean by this!" Could it be that Inspector Liu is dissatisfied with the imperial court? ”

Liu Yunwei said in a cold voice without showing weakness: "Hmph! When these so-called virtuous ministers were struggling in the imperial court, they not only reduced the taxes of the wealthy provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, but also caused a sharp drop in the tax revenue of the imperial court! Moreover, the Donglin Party continued to raise taxes on the already poor peasants, which eventually caused the Northwest People's Revolt! Lord Zhao, please tell this governor what the reason is! What a bastard! ”

"You!" Zhao Dongqing was so angry when he heard this, and he couldn't speak for a long time when he pointed at Liu Yunwei, just gasping and staring continuously.

Liu Yunwei was still unrelenting, the pair of tiger eyes glared at Zhao Dongqing viciously, and said sharply: "This army of thieves was forced out by the traitors of Donglin in the court, and you still have the face to fight the autumn wind with this governor?" It's shameless! Do you still have the word shame in your heart? The sage books have made you wipe your butts like toilet paper! ”

Wang Chengen stood aside and watched Zhao Dongqing eat deflated at Liu Yunwei's place, and couldn't help but smile secretly, and then came out to play a round, pulled Zhao Dongqing, who was already pale with anger and trembling, to the side and sat down, and then said: "Inspector Liu, the miscellaneous family and Lord Zhao are not here to fight the autumn wind, but to ask for the stolen money of the eight Jin merchants at the behest of His Majesty. Don't get me wrong! ”

"Haha!" After hearing this, Liu Yunwei laughed out loud and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, the governor has prepared the money and grain." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei nodded to Guo Yi, and then Guo Yi handed a list to Wang Chengen with both hands.

Wang Chengen looked at it for a while, then sneered and said: "Inspector Liu, how many families do the eight Jin merchants have, even if you don't say it, the miscellaneous family can guess a rough idea, no matter how bad it is, it won't be only so little, right?" ”

"That's all!"

Liu Yunwei said categorically: "If the father-in-law doesn't believe it, then the governor can't do anything!" ”

Wang Chengen frowned, muttered for a while, and didn't continue to say anything, but glared at Zhao Dongqing, complaining a little that he was full of food, what did he do to provoke Liu Yunwei!

Who knew that Wang Chengen stopped talking, but Zhao Dongqing stood up again and said loudly: "Inspector Liu! You are blatantly embezzling money and food! The four towns of Jiliao are heavily armed, and you have heavy troops, what is your intention to rob a huge amount of money and food like this now? In the old man's opinion, you are going to rebel! ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Yi glared at Zhao Dongqing angrily, and it was estimated that as long as Liu Yunwei gave an order, Guo Yi would knock Zhao Dongqing to the ground. And Wang Chengen was also taken aback, he didn't expect Zhao Dongqing to say such a bastard thing in a hurry.

However, Liu Yunwei said very calmly: "Since Lord Zhao thinks that the governor has different intentions, then the two of us will give His Majesty a discount at the same time." Lord Zhao tried to rebel, and Lord Zhao tried to seize the military power, and disrupt the counterinsurgency! Let's make a witness, let's see who dies first! ”

Zhao Dongqing was speechless suddenly, his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to say a word. Although Zhao Dongqing was already angry at this time, the most basic reason was still there: Emperor Chongzhen would never offend Liu Yunwei for the sake of himself, the servant of the household, and he must have died ugly at that time!

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Wang Chengen coughed lightly and said, "Inspector Liu, Lord Zhao is just a little anxious, don't care." It's just that the money and food are indeed too little, and the miscellaneous family can't pay the difference when they go back. ”

Liu Yunwei didn't have the intention of continuing to entangle with Zhao Dongqing at this time, so he said: "Since it is the prince who comes forward, then the governor will take out some money and food from the army, Guo Yi!" ”

Guo Yi stepped forward and hugged his fists at Wang Chengen and Zhao Dongqing and said, "Please follow the two adults!" ”

Zhao Dongqing glared at Liu Yunwei fiercely, and then left angrily. And Wang Chengen glanced at Liu Yunwei thoughtfully, and then left.

After sending the two away, Liu Yunwei returned to his room, and when he saw Wu Fu, who was already waiting here, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Lord Wu has been waiting for a long time, sin!" Sin! ”

Wu Fu also returned the salute with a smile, but the smile on his face was so reluctant no matter how he looked at it.

"Inspector Liu, the old man is here to ask for help today."

Liu Yunwei smiled and said, "Lord Wu just doesn't say it, and the governor can guess if the money and food for the displaced people are insufficient?" ”

Wu Fu nodded helplessly and said: "Nowadays, there are more and more displaced people in various places, not only in Shanxi, but also in Shaanxi, Henan and other places, and the people are constantly changing. According to the old man, if the imperial court does not make great efforts to help the displaced people and rectify the place, the disaster of natural change is just around the corner! ”

Liu Yunwei also put away his smile when he heard this, and said with a stern face: "Lord Wu, this is exactly what the governor is worried about, the current situation is difficult, and we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." I don't believe that my dignified Shenzhou Huaxia has been inherited for thousands of years, and the sky will really be blind and let the blood flow of the land of China? ”

Wu Fu sighed, and then asked, "Inspector Liu, what about this money and grain?" ”

"Ben Du will do it!"
