One year into a gathering, two years into a city, three years into Chengdu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chengdu has always been an important town in the southwest, since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has become the southwest governing office, and the Three Kingdoms has become the capital of Shu, after the baptism of the Tang and Song dynasties, this ancient capital is even more dazzling, and has become one of the few metropolises in the world. In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army broke through the regime of the Great Xia State and entered Chengdu, where the SC Chengxuan Political Envoy Department was set up and incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

After the construction of the capital city of Chengdu in successive dynasties, it has formed a city pattern with the palace of the king of Shu, the sub-city and the big city as the system, of which the palace of the king of Shu is located in the central area of the entire capital, the sub-city is in the northwest, and the big city is in the southeast. The entire capital, except for the Shu Wangfu, which sits in the north and faces south, the rest of the cities, houses, and streets are deviated a little from due north to east, forming a unique diamond-shaped layout that is different from other metropolises.

The circumference of the Chengdu city wall is more than 30 miles, and the city wall is as high as four zhang. The east gate of the city is called Yinghui, the south gate is said to be neutral, the west gate is called Qingyuan, and the north gate is called Da'an. Its little west gate is called Yanqiu".

Chengdu is located in the central Sichuan Plain, the water of the Minjiang River is irrigated by the Dujiangyan River, which also makes Chengdu form a unique water system surrounded by the western suburbs of the River, the Jinhe River and the Jinjiang River, and the scenery is no less than that of the south of the Yangtze River. The sub-city in the capital is a prosperous place for business travel, and the characters such as the peddlers and pawns, the three religions and the nine streams will all meet here, which is the commercial zone of Chengdu Prefecture, and the scope of the big city is where the governance of Chengdu Mansion is located, most of them are military important places and imperial court law divisions, and the entry and exit personnel are also relatively simple, not as good as the variety of Shaocheng.

Sun Yueling's residence is in this big city, close to the general Yamen Street of the Shu Palace, and the ion city is only a few miles, and it is also quite prosperous. This was originally a post house dedicated to receiving errands, but due to his arrival, Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of SC, deliberately made this place his stay.

It has been three full months since the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised the imperial history and inspected the tomb of Sun Yueling, and came to this ancient city full of historical charm.

He and the caravan of Baishi Mountain City left Jingshi and went all the way west, passing through Guanzhong, Yueqinling, passing through Hanzhong, Guangyuan, Jinzhou, and thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally came to the capital of the southwest that he had longed for for a long time. Fortunately, Baishi Mountain City has a resounding reputation in the southwest, and they did not encounter any trouble such as roadblocks and robbers, and they arrived at their destination smoothly all the way.

But on the whole way to the west, there were two things that impressed Sun Yueling deeply and made it difficult to forget. The first thing was passing through the territory of SX, and the people he saw along the way were displaced and starved on the way, and countless Ming people could not bear the heavy taxes of the imperial court, which made him feel sad; The second thing is that when he entered the Sichuan through the Sword Pavilion, he crossed the Daba Mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and the scenery he saw along the way made him fascinated, and he was even more amazed when he crossed the hundred miles of plank road, and sighed at the strange passage carved out by this manpower.

After coming to Chengdu, Chu Xinying and other people in the mountain city said goodbye to him and went back to Baishi City outside the north city gate. He took Zhang Pengyong, Yi Fei and other cadres to report to the SC Governor's Yamen, preparing for the next performance.

However, what he never expected was that although the officials in the SC Governor's Yamen warmly welcomed him and gave him great hospitality, they did not mention the extravagant Chongming Rebellion that caused disaster to the south of Sichuan at all, as if this matter had never existed at all.

When he first arrived, although he had an official life, Sun Yueling was not easy to chase and ask, so he had to keep this matter in his heart first, and was ready to choose an opportunity to talk about it. Unexpectedly, until he finished this cold year in Chengdu, Governor Zhu Xieyuan still kept silent about this matter, but showed him some accounts such as some money and grain books and important government affairs over the years, and asked him to inspect and inspect them.

Sun Yueling was reading some ledgers and documents all day long, coping with the arrival of some local officials, and he was already bored and angry. Zhu Xieyuan, the old guy, knew that he had been ordered to supervise the affairs of the Southwest Pingkou, but he kept silent about this matter, and just prevaricated all day long, what was his idea?

He really couldn't understand in his heart, didn't Zhu Xieyuan plan to send troops to quell the thieves, but planned to raise his own respect?

He decided to ask a clear question.

On this day, Sun Yueling finally couldn't hold it back, and took Zhang Pengyong and Yi Feilai to the governor's yamen again. He asked Zhang Pengyong and the others to wait in the outer hall, went straight into the inner hall, found Zhu Xieyuan in the official room, and decided to make it clear to him in person and express his intentions.

After listening to Sun Yueling's complaining vent, Zhu Xieyuan laughed out loud and said loudly: "Lord Sun, you have not been in Chengdu for a long time, and you are not familiar with the local customs and social customs, so why bother to speak easily? Didn't the old man let the officials of the various envoys and yamen personally accompany him, and report to you about the personnel changes, money, grain, and grains over the years, so soon Lord Sun knew about these things? ”

Sun Yueling looked at the fifty-year-old man in front of him, with a majestic physique, a round waist and a fat face, and the grievances in his heart were born, he was the inspector of the Imperial Palace, and the "patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven", according to the rules, in addition to the governor Zhu Xieyuan, SC political envoys, inspection envoys, commanders and other departments, he can at least be regarded as the leader of SC officials, why Zhu Xieyuan has always given him all kinds of excuses, avoiding it left and right.

Sun Yueling couldn't bear it, he decided to come up with the style of "Qincha", otherwise Zhu Xieyuan in front of him might really regard him as a fledgling little hairy head, and he didn't take him to heart at all, and said: "Lord Zhu, don't hide it, the lower official entered Sichuan this time, but he came on the emperor's order. When the lower officials were leaving, the saint told him in every possible way that he must do his best to help the princes to quell the Kou as soon as possible, but the southwest is in trouble. This extravagant chaos is a sharp thorn in the throat of the saint, and the saint has worked hard for it, and he is restless in sleep! As he spoke, he arched his hands and prayed to the sky, with a serious expression on his face.

He learned this trick from Mao Wenlong. At that time, in order to motivate his subordinates, Mao Wenlong did not hesitate to borrow the emperor's reputation to complain. This time, when he was leaving, only Zhao Nanxing and others gave him a thousand instructions, and he didn't see the apocalypse at all, but at this time, the emperor was far away, and he was the imperial history of the Qincha, so who dared to doubt the truth of this statement? Although this is a bit of a chicken feather as an arrow, but at this time, he can't care about it anymore.

Sure enough, hearing him mention the current saint, even if he is an emperor who is less than twenty years old, but after all, he is also mighty, Zhu Xieyuan immediately changed his face, no longer understated, but very solemn and solemn, and said: "Lord Sun is reasonable, the matter of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king, how can we and other courtiers not be worried about the saint." This extravagant rebellion is indeed to be swept away as soon as possible. ”

Hearing him say this, Sun Yueling was overjoyed, this old guy was finally willing to get to the point, and hurriedly said: "In this case, then please ask Lord Zhu to gather all the generals, deploy the expedition plan, and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop, and the lower officials are willing to go out for the vanguard under your command." ”

As soon as his words fell, Sun Yueling found that a strange look flashed in the old guy's eyes, and slowly turned into that indifferent demeanor again, and said: "Lord Sun is serious, how can you do it yourself and have your own generals to take care of it." After a pause, he said, "It's not that the official is unwilling to go on the expedition, but the current official affairs are complicated, and there are too many things to deal with, and the official really has no time to take care of it!" had no choice but to postpone the expedition for the time being, and wait for him to make a decision at a later date. ”

"Complicated business?" Sun Yueling was almost mad when he heard this, what is more important than quelling the chaos, he thought that he would carry out today, and the old guy would definitely compromise, but he was still like this, it was really infuriating.

Sun Yueling finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "Lord Zhu, you also said that our courtiers should share the worries of today's saints. Now that you are looking left and right, holding your troops still, the subordinate does not know what you are thinking? Are you emulating Li Chengliang back then? He also endured these words for a long time, and today he finally couldn't help but burst out.

Li Chengliang was the general who guarded Liaodong during the Wanli period, and at that time, the Mongol and Jurchen tribes in the entire Liaodong were suppressed by him, but for some reason, Li Chengliang let the Jianzhou Jurchens led by Nurhachi go unchecked, and instead aimed his guns at the Yehe, Hada and other tribes of the Haixi Jurchens, and gave up the Kuandian Six Forts, which were dangerous barriers to contain the Jianzhou Jurchens, which led to the development and growth of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

From this point of view, Li Chengliang seems to be a bit suspicious of raising a coward. Now Sun Yueling is questioning Zhu Xieyuan with this, and the implication is whether he, Zhu Xieyuan, is also learning from Li Chengliang and planning to raise his own respect.

"Nonsense, how can it be justified!" Zhu Xieyuan finally got angry, and slapped his palm on the tea table, shaking the tea and shaking the table. He himself was angry and his face turned red, his eyes were wide open, and he glared angrily at Sun Yueling.

Sun Yueling saw that the governor was angry, and his heart was also a little furious, after all, Zhu Xieyuan was a feudal official, and this was the first time he had collided with an official of this level in person. But the words had already been spoken, and there was no room for maneuver, so he calmed down and met Zhu Xieyuan's eyes proudly.

Zhu Xieyuan glared at him angrily for a long time, and finally sneered and said, "Master Sun is worthy of being recommended by the ministers, and he is not small. Let me ask you, you said that the old man followed Li Chengliang's example, is there conclusive evidence? ”

Sun Yueling was speechless for a moment. The old guy is an old guy after all, and he was able to calm down so quickly, and he also picked out the criticism between his words.

He really didn't have any evidence of Zhu Xieyuan's self-respect, this was just his wishful thinking and angry words. Moreover, after his understanding for many months, the people of southwest China are quite supportive of this Governor Zhu, and his reputation is excellent. Last year, the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty besieged Chengdu, and it was all thanks to the strength of this Zhu Governor to resist the heavy burden and do his best to relieve the siege of Chengdu and drive the rebels back to the Yongning lair.
