Chapter 519: The Storm Rises

p

The summer rain comes and goes quickly.

Last night it was still pouring rain, accompanied by an extremely rare and strong lightning and thunder, and it rumbled all night.

However, as soon as the sun came out in the morning, it suddenly rained and the sky cleared.

The people of Chang'an stepped on the stagnant water on the street and began to get busy.

As soon as the sky was bright, Song Miao and Cui Hao arrived at the Duhu Mansion one after another, and they also began to deal with government affairs in an orderly manner.

Since the relocation of the Metropolitan Protectorate to Chang'an, it has undoubtedly greatly reduced the burden on Wei Shuo.

Yesterday's rain was very heavy, and the Guanzhong Water Conservancy was in disrepair, although most of the capital guards have ordered vigorous renovations, but it is by no means an overnight achievement.

Song Miao and Cui Hao were worried about floods, so as soon as they came, they ordered the subordinate officials and officials of the capital protection government to go down to check.

After dealing with the urgent affairs in front of them, the two Changshi sat down to take a sip of tea.

Today is not the day of deliberations, most of the guards generally do not appear, only the two Changshi and the subordinate officials handle government affairs.

Soon it was almost noon, and everyone was busy all afternoon, and they were a little tired.

was about to take a break from eating, when suddenly a small official hurried in with a large stack of books in his hand.

As soon as the person reached the hall door, there was a sudden sound of grumbling around him.

"Yo, it's time again, it looks like I can't rest this time."

"Alas! On a hot day, I also sent excerpts to the Metropolitan Protectorate, which is really hard for the people below. ”

"Oh, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I don't know if I can have lunch."

According to the practice of Hexi, the local officials who wrote and said things would first be returned to the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the left and right Changshi would cooperate with the directors of Cao to come up with the regulations and handling opinions.

Then it was sent to the secretary and supervisor for classification, and the secretary and supervisor forwarded it to Wei Shuo himself according to the priority.

In this way, although the burden on Wei Shuo was greatly reduced, it brought a lot of trouble to the Duhu Mansion.

Fortunately, there are many officials and subordinates of the Metropolitan Protectorate, which can maintain the normal operation of government affairs.

Although the subordinate officials complained, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly took the fold and dealt with it.

Cui Hao took the fold as usual, picked up the top one casually, but as soon as he glanced at it, his brows furrowed.

Song Xuanhu glanced at Cui Hao suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Bo Yuan, what's wrong?" ”

Cui Hao's face was gloomy, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the stack of folds that had just been sent, and said indifferently: "See for yourself." ”

Song Miao didn't know why, thinking that it was the magistrate who committed the crime, which made Cui Hao angry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he picked up the fold, he saw the word 'persuasion' written on it, and his head exploded.

"This ...... What's going on? Song Miao said angrily.

"Who is so brainless? Isn't this a big scaffolding roasted on the fire? ”

"It's really profitable!" Cui Hao gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"As the saying goes: the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!"

"Now that Hexi is powerful, I don't know how many people are staring at it, and they all want to take advantage of Hexi's shareholder to make waves."

"The top priority at the moment is to find out who is behind the matter as soon as possible, if it is just someone below who is hot-headed, it is a big deal to reprimand it."

"But if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, then ......"

"Bo Yuan is worried that someone will take the opportunity to drive a wedge between Hexi and the Southern Dynasties?"

"Not bad!"

"Dadu Hu has a close relationship with the Southern Dynasties, which not only provokes the jealousy of Wei, but I am afraid that even the local towns in Jiangdong are eager for the two sides to break up."

……

The fastest in the world is not the wind or lightning, but the rumors.

I don't know where a rumor came out, saying that the Jin room has run out of energy, and most of them will protect the universe, and they should replace the Jin room and stand on their own.

Rumors of supporting the emperor of Dadu have spread throughout Chang'an almost overnight.

Early in the morning, the people of the city, officials and scholars were talking about this matter, and the more rumors spread, the more versions there were.

It's just that no matter which version, its tendencies are extremely obvious, except for a few diehards of the Jin family, the vast majority of people support Wei Shuo's self-reliance.

All of a sudden, the originally prestigious Dadu Hu suddenly raised the boss again.

At the same time, as newspapers around the country also began to join in advocating and persuading.

Suddenly, many ordinary officials who thought they were unstoppable were also impatient to go to the persuasion table.

In the face of turbulent public opinion in the outside world, most of the guards have remained silent.

But this silence is more like a disguised support in the eyes of some.

So, in the next two or three days, there were hundreds of similar folds on the desk of the Metropolitan Protectorate, which made the Metropolitan Protectorate busy.

So much so that Cui Hao and Song Miao had to stop dealing with the rest of the government affairs and solve the matter in front of them first.

As the head of all the officials, most of them were not protected, and Song Miao presided over the meeting as a matter of course.

He first instructed his subordinate officials to stop sending excerpts to the Metropolitan Protectorate, and then looked around at his colleagues and opened his mouth in a heavy tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter has reached this point, I'm afraid it won't be solved if we don't solve it quickly, I don't know what everyone thinks about it?"

Dead silence, there was a dead silence in the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, and in the face of Song Xuan's inquiring gaze, all the officials in the room bowed their heads and were silent.

They have been in the center for a long time, and they know better than the magistrates what is going on, and they know better that the political struggle is very risky.

The stakes are so high that if you take the wrong attitude, you may face overturn.

Before finding out the true attitude of Dadu Hu, it is better not to open your mouth as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble.

As a result, the entire Metropolitan Protectorate was so eerily quiet.

Seeing that the colleagues were silent for a long time, Song Miao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

But he couldn't force everyone, so he had to frown slightly and wait patiently for everyone to make a statement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the turmoil has become big, if you don't calm it down quickly, I am afraid that it will affect the political stability."

In fact, among the officials of the Imperial Protectorate, almost the vast majority of them supported Wei Shuo's self-reliance.

It's just that the wind of persuasion started too suddenly, which caught everyone off guard.

In addition, most of the guards were unclear, so everyone had to be silent for the time being.

However, as one of the participants, some family officials couldn't help but express their attitude unabashedly when they saw that everyone was silent.

"What is there to discuss with the people's aspirations? According to the truth, most of them are protected. ”

"What this lord said is quite reasonable, and the will of the people is the general trend, and it cannot be violated!"

"Yes, yes, most of the protectors are in line with the will of the people, and it is a matter of course."

"Even the Hulu faces south and turns to the north, as a descendant of Yanhuang and Miao, why can't Dadu Hu be called the emperor?"

As the saying goes, "It's hard to get started!" ”

Some things, once someone starts, the next thing becomes much simpler, just like the matter of persuasion in front of you.

Originally, everyone's ambiguous attitude was not out of their original intentions, but now some people take the lead, and others are not far behind, and they have expressed their willingness to support the capital to protect the upper position.

……

The arrival of his family made Wei Shuo happy, and he happily watched everything all day long.

It's a pity that some people don't want him to live a comfortable life.

Soon after the celebration and reward, a wave of persuasion suddenly blew in Guanzhong.

Many children of the family have written to make suggestions, asking most of them to protect the king's system.

This turmoil soon affected the political stability, and Hexi suddenly became agitated, and all parties continued to dispute over the matter of persuasion.

Originally, Wei Shuo planned to deal with this matter coldly, but he underestimated the fame and fortune of some people.

Since ancient times, all those who support the dragon have become extremely rich and noble.

Especially when the overall situation has been decided, supporting and following the dragon is not only less risky, but also rich in rewards.

It can be described as the best investment choice with low investment and high return.

As far as Hexi is concerned, the future is not to mention that the general trend is determined and the future is bright, at least there is the capital of the separating party.

Therefore, in the eyes of some politically ambitious families, supporting the title of king is a matter of nine out of ten, and it is also the most convenient opportunity for them to enter the core high-level of Hexi.

Originally, after the Jin family moved south, it still had a strong influence in the north.

However, with the repeated failures of the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty, it has gradually lost the hearts of the people in the North.

At present, with the chaos of the Heavenly Master Dao and the unstable situation in Jiangdong, the appeal of the Jin family has plummeted.

Even in the eyes of the Northland family and the people, the Jin family has existed in name only.

At this time, the family set off this persuasion storm, which suddenly caused monstrous waves inside and outside Hexi.

Originally, it was just the Guanzhong family making trouble, and soon the assassins, governors, county guards, and garrisons from all over the country also participated.

In this way, Wei Shuo could no longer sit idly by, and hurriedly summoned Song Xuan, Cui Hao and other henchmen to discuss countermeasures.
