Chapter 504: Who's Crazy
Liaoyang's patrol yamen has always been relatively deserted in front of the door, which has nothing to do with Xie Hong, because this situation is not a day or two, long before Xie Hong entered the court, it has always been like this. In the second year of Zhengde, coupled with the influence of Xie Hong, it was just a place where birds don't poop.
In the final analysis, it is still limited by the patrol itself.
There is only one word difference between the governor and the governor, and they are both served by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the difference in responsibilities is huge.
Although the time for the formation of customization is still short, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the governor is a local official who is in charge of the military and political affairs of a province, and his power and responsibility are extremely heavy, and he can be called a feudal official.
The main responsibility of this official position is to supervise the place, monitor whether the local officials have made mistakes, and perform the duties of the imperial historian, the difference is only the place and the object.
During the founding years of the People's Republic of China, the targets of inspection were not divided into civil and military affairs, and all local officials were within the scope of his impeachment. However, since the civil engineering, the status of military attachés has declined rapidly, and the value of impeachment has gradually been lost.
If you think about it carefully, Wenchen regards military attachés as pigs and dogs, and has been suppressed for so long, most of the military attaches have accepted their fate, not to mention confronting Wenchen, and the confrontation between words is quite rare.
For example, in the Xuanfu Mansion, the chief soldier Zhang Jun knew that the Tartars were in ambush, but under the drive of the governor Li Jin, he still rushed forward without hesitation, like a blindfolded horse.
If you rush up, you will be ambushed, you will be defeated, and you will even have the worry of your surname, and you will be impeached afterwards, and you may also be dismissed, and the consequences will be of course very serious; However, disobeying the governor's order, the consequences are even more serious, how much Wenchen will be repaid, Zhang Jun knows very well, he doesn't want to be punished by the nine clans, so he can only close his eyes and rush up.
Wenchen just wants to suppress the military attachés, not to drive out the generals, without these can be driven, like cattle and horses, slaves, is it difficult for the adults to train their own troops, or even lead troops into battle? Of course not!
The demeanor of the Confucian generals is to sit firmly in the military tent and strategize, of course, the Confucian generals are also the best mortals, it is inevitable that there will be a mistake, Zhuge Wuhou also lost the street pavilion, and the adults occasionally fall into an ambush or something, which is nothing, who made Zhang Jun the same as Ma Tan, lack of martial arts and wisdom?
Of course, no one has ever considered how Ma Jian could use 20,000 men to withstand Sima Yi's 100,000 army; And after Zhang Jun was ambushed, why couldn't he fight back and turn defeat into victory, no one thought about it, he was just a vulgar general.
Therefore, when the goal of suppressing the generals was achieved, the ministers lost interest in the generals, and turned to fight with the emperor and the eunuchs with great interest.
This is also the embarrassing position of the Liaodong Patrol, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally an institution for the self-inspection of Wenchen, and the main target was actually the scholars themselves.
And the town of Liaodong was built late, and it was desolate at the beginning, and there were not even many people, except for the construction of side walls and the deduction of military salaries, there was no place for oil and water at all, and the ministers of course did not like it very much, so this has always been a place where the ministers are extinct.
Because of this, apart from the governor, the inspector can hardly find any other target, and what is there to impeach an official who is too low? A letter was handed over, and the emperor and the cabinet elders didn't know who it was, what effect did this impeachment have?
Generals? Don't talk nonsense, what do those vulgar people have to impeach? After the bounce was knocked down, no one was interested in the vacated position, so could it be that the patrolmen should take on the role themselves?
Besides, although the rules and regulations are to impeach civil and military officials, in this world, who can afford to impeach military generals? Scolding the generals is like scolding the livestock at home, and it is not shameful enough to say it.
Even if you are not in the capital and can't reach the emperor, you have to find some other famous people to scold? Like the governor or something. Of course, the governor is also a colleague of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and if he is more familiar, it is not easy to speak, and even if he is embarrassed to speak, he can't stop scolding.
All kinds of reasons acted together, and the patrol of Liaodong became such a deserted yamen, even if there was a heavyweight impeachment target, the situation did not change, but became more serious.
Who is Champion Hou? In Shilin, that is known as the first courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to impeach him? If it is in the capital and the prosperous land of the Central Plains, whoever wants to impeach him does not need to observe him closely, just walk around the street and come back with enough materials.
Therefore, there are too many people who impeach the champion Hou, and Chen Shiliang, who is nearby, cannot be called. Especially after the governor arrived, he stayed in the house almost every day and didn't go out, and Chen Xun couldn't collect materials according to his sincerity.
Of course, it's useless to collect it, people are big people who are not afraid of bites when they have lice, how can Chen Xun press this little flea in his eyes? Even if he sent people to keep an eye on him every day, the governor's yamen ignored it at all.
Chen Shiliang knew very well that it was not that people were afraid, but that they didn't take him seriously at all, and they were completely contemptuous.
After June, this was fully verified. After doing it for a long time, the champion Hou in the governor's yamen was fake, and his real body had already gone to Jinzhou, and after a series of accidents such as the New Deal and the reclamation order, he actually patted his ass again and went to sea.
Chen Shiliang also got the news in the past few days, and what was sent along with the news was the scolding and reprimand of the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, as well as the Jiangnan colleagues, as well as the famous Shilin and the righteous people from all walks of life.
In it, those who say that he neglected his duties and served as a corpse are already polite; generally scolded him for being in collusion with Annihilation and complicity; The more intense ones are even more unscrupulous, many of them are scolding Xie Hong's routines, which are directly applied to him, so that he can also enjoy the treatment of the first celebrity in front of the holy driver.
He can also understand the anger of these people, all along, his report to the court is Xie Hong, saying that he is making fun in the house, and those who are perverse outside are his subordinates, so there is no need to worry.
As a result, Xie Hong's movements in Liaodong were earth-shattering, and in the end, he went overseas, and even blocked the routes of the Japanese Kingdom, what is this called? How can the corporal of the world not be angry?
But can you blame him for this? He sent him to personally go to the governor's yamen to squat and keep an eye on him, who would have thought that people would not come to Liaoyang at all?
Besides, among the maritime merchants who were robbed, there was also a part of his Chen family! lost money and reputation, and was looked down upon by fellow scholars...... Chen Xun didn't mention the bitterness in his heart, he realized that he was not a human being inside and out, if he had to compare, there was a tragic character similar to him, that is, the Jiang Gan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
This senior was also despised in Jiangdong, so much so that he played a lot of tricks, and finally returned to Cao Ying, and helped Jiangdong kill Cai Mao, and finally beat the side drum for Huang Gai's counter-plot...... belongs to the kind that was slapped in the face and applauded, it is really stupid, and he happened to have a fight with him.
Scholars generally love only Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and Chen Shiliang was forced to compare himself to Jiang Gan, which shows how painful he is in his heart.
Alas! Bitter or not, think about Chen Shiliang in Liaodong...... Well, no matter how hard it is, you have to be strong to survive, Chen Shiliang fought hard and sent countless sentry agents, wanting to go to Jinzhou to find out the bottom of the enemy, so as to atone the credit.
He pondered, since Xie Hong is not there, the dragons in Jinzhou have no leader, there must be some opportunities to take advantage of, right?
As a result, he was disappointed again, most of the sentinels sent out were sunk in the sea, and a few clever ones didn't even go to Fuzhou, and watched their colleagues jump into the fire pit, and after finding that no one had returned, they also slipped away.
Chen Shiliang couldn't scold anymore, he could only comfort himself, and it was better to have a few clever ones than to have no news at all...... At the same time, he was also terrified.
Most of the spies he sent out were natives from Liaodong, and it was said that there would be no pressure at all to infiltrate southern Liaoning or even Jinzhou, but who would have thought that none of the remaining ones would be taken down, doesn't this mean that Jinzhou is now monolithic?
Moreover, this trend is still spreading, and at present, the spies are already struggling in southern Liaoning, according to Yang Haoran's posture of bowing down to the governor's yamen, will Liaozhong or even northern Liaobei be far away?
Chen Shiliang raised his eyes and looked around, but he was dazed and helpless.
The scholars in the capital and Jiangnan all shouted, but who had the courage to roar, saying that he dared to come to Liaodong to fight hand-to-hand with the plague god? If there is, Chen will immediately abdicate and make way for Xian, even if he will be dismissed.
This place in Liaodong is really a tiger's den in Longtan! Overnight, several major generals all took refuge in Xie Hong, and all he could control as a patrol was his own small yamen.
Nowadays, when the local officials and even the soldiers in the yamen look at themselves, their eyes are flickering, and Chen Shiliang is too lazy to think about whether there are spies among them.
He was very sure that if the governor yamen gave an order and said that he could divide dozens of acres of wasteland if he tied himself up, maybe he would be in the prison of the governor's yamen that night, well, maybe it was a mass grave.
If he didn't dare to show his cowardice, he even wanted to run to Ningyuan, and as soon as he left, Liaoxi is still a pure land, he has a good eye for talents, Zu Dahuan is really worthy of being behind the gate, in such a difficult situation, he still stabilized the situation, and also kept the last ray of hope for Liaodong.
However, with the opening of Jinzhou to the sea, the significance of Liaoxi gradually diminished, and even began to disappear.
What to do? In the early morning, the weather was just right, but Chen Shiliang's mood was gloomy, and he routinely sat in the lobby of the yamen and sighed.
He sat for two or three hours, even after lunchtime, and the sky began to become gloomy, and he did not notice it, and kept his original sitting position.
"Master, something is wrong, it's not good, oh, no, it's a great thing, well, it's not right......" At this moment, someone ran in and said incoherently.
Chen Shiliang was furious, pointed at the man and shouted angrily: "Chen Sheng! You damn minion, even you dare to entertain me? I can't deal with the plague god, can't I deal with you? ”
"How dare the little one entertain the master? Master, there is really a big event, and the ancestral counselor of Liaoxi is waiting outside, waiting to see you. Chen Sheng was frightened, the old man's evil fire is flourishing, if he leads the fire over, then there is really no place to die.
"Zu Dahuan is here? Is there a big deal in Liaoxi? Chen Shiliang tugged at his beard and asked in disbelief, "What is the matter?" If you talk about good things for a while, and bad things for a while, hurry up and make me clear to my master! ”
Liaoxi is his last bit of dependence, and he can't help but not be nervous, and Chen Shiliang also knows some of the undercurrents surging between the low-level military households and the generals...... Even if Xie Hong, the governor, has to take some responsibility, how can he move the other party's holy family? On the contrary, it gave the other party the opportunity to meddle in Liaoxi and take it into his pocket.
"Master, it may be a good thing for you, for our Chen family, and for the world......" Chen Sheng glanced out of the door, lowered his voice, and said matter-of-factly: "But for General Zu and others in Liaodong, it may not be a good thing." ”
"Smack!"
Knowing that Chen Sheng is the son of his own family, he will not lie and mislead, or even betray himself, hearing this, Chen Shiliang's heart was tickled, and he slapped the other party, and he also asked in a low voice: "How dare you sell Guan Zi to my master?" Chen Sheng, you are really getting more and more presumptuous. ”
"Damn it, master, listen to me......" The slap was not heavy, not because Chen Shiliang had no strength, he was simply feigned anger, his mood was improving, Chen Sheng had been by his side since he was a child, how could he not see the truth? He said with a smile: "Liaoxi has been hit by hail, and all the crops have been beaten to the ground, and there is no harvest!" ”
"Sizzle......" Chen Shiliang was taken aback, such a big famine, he has been in Liaodong for so long, it is really the first time he has heard of it, he hesitated: "What kind of good thing is this?" If it's in southern Liaoning, it's almost the same, but it's ...... in western Liaoning."
"Master, don't worry, look up at this day......"
"God?" Chen Shiliang raised his head as he said, but saw that the sky had darkened for some time, and the black oppressive clouds were coming from the west, and the black clouds were pressing down on the city and wanted to destroy it, could it be ...... A thought crossed his mind that he couldn't believe.
"Master, I inquired outside just now, this is also the scene in southern Liaoning, the news has spread, and the old farmers in the fields are screaming, saying that the hail in western Liaoning has not ended, and there will be another ...... in southern Liaoning, or even in the whole of Liaodong" Chen Shengyin smiled and continued: "Haha, master, you say, isn't this a good thing?" ”
"Of course...... It's a great thing! Chen Shiliang jumped up suddenly, as if he was twenty years younger, walking around the hall as fast as the wind, still laughing wildly.
"Hahaha, sure enough, God has eyes, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty appeared, and the sages and saints were angry, so they sent down heavenly punishment to kill that annihilator, yes, it is heavenly punishment! This is heaven's punishment! Hahahaha, that scourge is finally going to be full of evil! ”
Chen Xun's crazy laughter echoed in the patrol yamen, and it was clearly heard inside and outside the yamen, and even Zu Dahuan, who was full of sorrow, raised his head.
He knew the reason why Chen Shiliang was happy, but when he thought of the tragic situation in Liaoxi, he was not happy at all. Liaodong suffered a catastrophe that was rare in a century, and he didn't know if this incident would make Xie Hong collapse, but he knew that many people would starve to death, very, very much, and Liaoxi was the first place to bear the brunt!
And the person who will laugh when he hears the news, even if it is his backstage and master, Zu Dahuan can only describe the other party as frenzy.
