The decree of the imperial court and the edict of the Ministry of War arrived in Henan Mansion at the same time.

Wang Chengen came to Henan Mansion and alarmed the bureaucrats at all levels in Henan, however, because the emperor has a clear will, Wang Chengen will never put up a fight, his power is already big enough, there is no need to put up a shelf, and in the palace, long-term tempering, he has already formed a character that is not shocked.

Therefore, along the way, Wang Chengen strictly forbade officials at all levels to welcome and send them, and he didn't even stop in Kaifeng Mansion.

Su Tiancheng had already returned to Henan Mansion and waited for the arrival of the holy decree.

For Wang Chengen, the eunuch, Su Tiancheng's opinion has always been positive, and the evaluation of eunuchs in all dynasties is very bad, thinking that eunuchs are the root cause of chaos, but these people have ignored the most important point, that is, who the eunuchs rely on.

Eunuchs are unlikely to have their own political opinions, they are the emperor's house slaves, always by the emperor's side, they must rely on the emperor, it is possible to exist, the situation of the eunuch dictatorship in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, after all, is an individual case, most of the time, the eunuch is a tool used by the emperor to confront the minister of civil and military affairs.

The emperor needs to maintain his authority, if he can't suppress the power of the minister of civil and military affairs, he will not be able to realize his political intentions in the end, and it is even difficult to lead the government.

Let's just say that Wei Zhongxian, a notorious eunuch, did a lot of evil, and was finally directly killed by Zhu Youzhen, but the reason why Zhu Youzhen really killed Wei Zhongxian was because Wei Zhongxian threatened his own position and did too many dirty things. even dreamed of being an emperor.

It took several years for Zhu Youzhen to find out that he had made a mistake in principle, Wei Zhongxian should indeed be killed, but the role of the eunuch must also be brought into play, even if you are the emperor. But the strength of an individual is limited, you must have a group of loyal people to follow the left and right, and the eunuch is the best candidate.

In fact, Wei Zhongxian still played a great role in this regard, he used the emperor's trust to vigorously suppress the civil official group, restrain the power of the powerful, and not increase the burden on the people. To a certain extent, the imperial power was consolidated.

In the four years since Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen slowly began to use eunuchs, but there are still a lot of restrictions on eunuchs.

Su Tiancheng's concept of history has undergone tremendous changes long ago.

Doing things to see the results is Su Tiancheng's biggest experience, no matter how you flaunt yourself. It doesn't matter how high-sounding you say, what I need is results. For example, what is the Donglin Party, what is the Restoration Society, etc., in their bones, it is still for their own interests, and in the imperial court, some adults support the Donglin Party and support the Restoration Society. In fact, he wants to protect his own interests.

When personal interests conflict with national interests, national interests must be taken into account, but unfortunately, in the current situation, almost everyone. All that comes to mind is self-interest.

It's no wonder that Zhu Youzhen is so struggling.

Luoyang County is ten miles away.

Su Tiancheng stood here, quietly waiting for Wang Chengen's arrival.

He was accompanied by many officials from Henan Prefecture, including the commanders of more than 1,000 households in the Jiangning battalion.

At noon, Wang Chengen's Luan drove finally arrived.

Seeing Su Tiancheng waiting next to the official road, Wang Chengen came over with a smile.

"The lower officials led the officials of Henan Prefecture and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to wait for the prince here."

"Master Su is too polite, our family doesn't dare to be it."

"My father-in-law traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Henan Mansion, and the lower officials naturally wanted to greet him with a big gift."

When Wang Chengen and Su Tiancheng spoke, their tone was very soft, and their attitude was natural, and the officials of Henan Mansion saw it and felt a little incredible.

The government has been prepared for a long time, and all the incense cases have been prepared.

The process of announcing the decree is still very grand.

When Wang Chengen handed over Shang Fang's sword to Su Tiancheng, the room was unusually quiet.

Shang Fang's sword is different from ordinary swords, the sword body is engraved with a soaring dragon on one side, a phoenix with wings spread on the other, and the Big Dipper is tattooed on the sword body. All this is a special mark that represents the supreme authority.

After the proclamation ended, Wang Chengen stayed at the Yin Hotel.

After eating, Su Tiancheng accompanied Wang Chengen and entered the room directly.

"Master Su, congratulations, the emperor attaches great importance to you, and our family didn't expect it."

"The lower official also wants to thank his father-in-law, all of this is his father-in-law's love."

"This time it has nothing to do with our family, before our family left, I talked to Lord Dong, and Lord Dong was also very happy, and I hope that Lord Su will make new contributions."

Wang Chengen came to Henan Mansion to announce the decree, it was not simple, talking to himself alone, there must be something to say, Su Tiancheng knows how to cherish this opportunity.

"My father-in-law came to Henan Mansion in person, Xia Guan really didn't expect it, but this time he went to Shanxi to exterminate the Liukou, failed to achieve a record, I didn't expect the Liukou to come to Henan Mansion, I can't bear it, Xia Guan has always been a little strange, how can the Liukou know the situation in Henan Mansion, Jiangning Camp just went to Shanxi, Liukou entered Henan Mansion, and after Jiangning Camp returned to the division, Liukou mysteriously disappeared, and Xia Guan still wanted to seriously investigate."

"This kind of thing, according to our family's view, there is no need to make a big move, didn't the emperor allow Lord Su to recommend and promote officials, since he came to Henan Mansion, of course there must be people around him to do things, our family thinks that this kind of thing is a big thing."

"The lower official thanks his father-in-law for his teachings."

"Master Su, you have some practices in Jiangning County, our family has a lot of feelings, look at today's Jiangning County, only the city of Bosi, can contribute four million taels of taxes every year, such an achievement, I didn't dare to imagine before, these silver taels, solve a big problem, Jiangning County's taxes, even more than Suzhou and Yangzhou, the people's wealth, is far stronger than the rest of the place, this is the achievement, no matter who says, it can't be erased."

"Henan Mansion is located in the Central Plains, the situation is still a little different, what did Lord Su think, just do it, the emperor gave Shang Fang the sword, just hope that Lord Su can not be disturbed."

Su Tiancheng nodded slightly, although these words came out of Wang Chengen's mouth, they were actually the emperor's meaning.

"The emperor is very concerned about the situation in Henan Mansion, the situation here is very special, the people are not rich, and they are often attacked by the Liukou, if you want to solve these problems, it is not achieved overnight, you really need to take your time, although Master Su does what he thinks, the duty of the Jiangning Battalion is to exterminate the Liukou, but also to protect the stability of Henan Mansion."

Everything Wang Chengen said was pointed, and some words, because of the identity problem, it was impossible to say it so thoroughly, in this case, Su Tiancheng needed to understand it himself, however, about the matters of the royal family, Wang Chengen never said that Shang Fang's sword had no effect in the face of King Fu, this is a question that Su Tiancheng must raise.

Wang Chengen is good at observing words and feelings.

"Master Su, do you have anything to say?"

"Father-in-law, there is something about the lower officials, like a fish in the throat, if you don't vomit, you won't be happy."

"Think of anything, just say it."

"When Xiaguan used to do things in Jiangning County, he got the full support of Lord Fan and Lord Wang, and now I think about it, I am very grateful, Nanjing is my Ming Dynasty's accompanying capital, and there are no relatives of the emperor in the area of Nanzhili, so Xiaguan did not spend any effort in this regard, and now he has come to Henan Mansion, and he has directly faced such a problem, Xiaguan thought, his father-in-law came to Henan Mansion, and the opportunity is rare, can you help Xiaguan, knock on the side."

Su Tiancheng said very bluntly, he didn't hide it at all, and of course Wang Chengen heard it very clearly.

In fact, before Wang Chengen came to Henan Mansion, the emperor specifically talked about the Fu King, and the emperor was clear about the dominance of the vassal kings in various places, taking into account the special identity of the vassal king, after all, it was the royal bloodline, and the emperor generally did not care, as long as it was not involved in the side of the imperial power, the rest was not a big deal.

The identity of King Fu is different, he is the emperor's own uncle, if it is in the local rules, it is not quite in line with the actual situation, if it is said to threaten the imperial power, it does not exist, but sometimes, the situation of conniving at the family's misdeeds may still exist, which has caused great trouble to the locality.

Zhu Youzhen once received a recital, all of which reflected the illegal behavior of the vassal king in the fiefdom, because there were many things in the court, the invasion of Houjin, and the rebellion of the rogue, Zhu Youzhen couldn't control these things, and he didn't think it was a big deal, so it didn't matter, this time, he took into account the Fu King of Luoyang.

"Hehe, Master Su said this, our family naturally wants to help, tomorrow our family will go to visit King Fu, do you want to go with Master Su."

"My father-in-law went to visit King Fu, and the officials won't add to the chaos."

After leaving the Yin Hotel, Su Tiancheng returned to the backyard.

He was alone in his study, thinking for a long time.

This time Wang Chengen came to Henan Mansion, and the news brought was clear, that is to say, the emperor clearly supported him, the general environment is already very good, and then you can let go of your hands and feet to do things, but don't think that the general environment is good, you can have no scruples, Henan Mansion is located in the Central Plains, and the south is incomparable, the foundation is weak, the conditions are not good, thinking about achieving great results in a short time, the difficulty is quite large, and it takes a lot of effort.

The road has to be taken step by step, only by stabilizing the Henan Mansion and gaining a firm foothold can it be possible to start a large-scale extermination of the Liukou, and the rear cannot be stabilized, everything is in vain.

Su Tiancheng made up his mind, holding Shang Fang's sword, he was going to do a big job, and the action he took this time was probably much more violent than that of Jiangning County. (To be continued......)
