Shi Bufan tasted the turquoise tea soup that came out of the high-grade tea leaves in the Qin's Tea House, and then looked at Ren Yaxiang and Xin Maojiang, who did not speak for more than ten minutes, but just tasted the tea by himself. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but that Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao General were very nervous, they were appointed for the first time this time, and they were sent out as an interview envoy, responsible for interviewing the people of this place. However, they had no previous experience as officials, so they naturally didn't know what to do. At this time, there was still a certain gap between the Hanmen and the scholars, and many scholars also had elders to teach culture since childhood, and even many of the ways of being officials had to be learned. However, Hanmen does not have this advantage, and many of them have to explore by themselves, which makes them very dependent on the guidance of their predecessors. This Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao will currently be appointed as the interview envoy and deputy interview envoy of Jiannan Province, and they have no experience at all. It's extraordinary to have to come to ask for a teacher.

"Ren Yaxiang, General Xin Mao, you have two choices when you go to Jiannan Dao this time. One is that the wife is peaceful and mixed up, so that you can hello, I am good, everyone, and after coming back, you can get a petty official and start gradually, which is considered a normal start. Of course, there is another way, that is, to make a great contribution, after such a great contribution, you can get a quick promotion and reuse after you come back, and you can even go to an important department to serve, and the future is limitless. However, the latter one has a lot of risks, and it depends on your guts! Which one do you want? Shi Bufan asked.

Ren Yaxiang and Xin Maojiang glanced at each other, obviously not knowing what Shi Bufan was talking about. But one is to be steady, there will be no big danger, but it will not be of much help to the future. The other is meritorious service, and meritorious service has achieved a great result, which will be of great help to the future prospects. Of course, Shi Bufan also said it. The latter one is in danger!

"Master, Mrs. is in peace, what should we do?" Xin Mao will ask.

Shi Bufan said directly: "It's very simple, where do you go to eat and drink well, accept good wine and food from local officials every day, and then enjoy enough and then write a local investigation casually, and come back to deal with the business." Hello, hello, hello, everyone, you have passed smoothly and steadily. ”

"Isn't this a crime of deception?" Ren Yaxiang said stupidly.

"Ren Yaxiang, don't you even understand the rules of bullying in officialdom? But, of course, there's another scenario that you want to hear about or not. Although this credit is great, it is also life-threatening! Shi Bufan said.

Ren Yaxiang hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Shi Bufan didn't speak, but directly took out a map and said, "Look, this is my map of the world." Look here, this is Jiannan Road. Jiannan Road was called Bashu in the past, and Liu Bang relied on Bashu as the foundation, and finally seized the world on his back. Shu Han Liu Bei relied on Bashu to obtain the foundation of this secession. And Bashu, you see, here Bashu is geographically closed, with lofty mountains and mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary infantry to enter. And the cavalry is even more so, and with the protection of this lofty mountain, it can be said that this has a very huge advantage. The Bashu region has enough plains and abundant products and materials, and there will be no shortage of food for self-sufficiency. ”

"This Bashu can go north to seize Guanzhong, and then seize the north, and then oppress the south to dominate the world with the momentum of Mount Tai. And if you want to attack from the outside, it is difficult. In addition, our Central Plains generally have to receive huge northern nomadic pressure, so we will inevitably have to put a large number of troops in the north to resist the invasion of nomadic Hu people such as the northern Turks, but in this Bashu region there are often insufficient troops. Coupled with the local closure, the culture is more simple and single than the outside, and the folk customs are very similar. So once something happens, I'm afraid it's easy to sweep the blockbuster. ”

"And once something happens in Bashu, it may be very difficult for the imperial court to transfer troops to suppress it. It was easy for the local soldiers and horses to become bigger, and at that time, when the imperial court transferred troops and completed it, the local strength was enough to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In the end, the imperial army wanted to attack, but it was very difficult. When the time comes, they will not have to worry about starving to death if they are self-sufficient in food and grass. ”

Ren Yaxiang scratched his head and asked, "Master, what does this mean?" ”

General Xin Mao immediately said excitedly: "You want to tell us that this Jiannan Dao is a good place to rebel?" There are people in the area who want to rebel! ”

"That's right! I'm just telling you that there are people in the area who are going to rebel. Shi Bufan said.

Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao were almost scared to the point that their feet went soft, this is too scary, right? If someone in the local area wants to rebel, then the two of them who were sent by the imperial court to the local interview envoy will not be the first to be beheaded and sacrificed to the flag? So Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao will be taken aback, this is a point of no return, if they go, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back. If this were the case, they would not have chosen to go to Jiannan Dao at all.

"Master, don't kill us! Since someone wants to rebel, then hurry up and talk to the emperor! As long as the emperor is reported in time, it will be a great achievement! Ren Yaxiang said.

Shi Bufan shook his head and said: "I have no evidence, if I talk nonsense, then I am suspected of slandering the king of the county!" Slandering the county king for rebellion is not a small crime. ”

"The king of the county? Master, are you saying that Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, is going to rebel? Ren Yaxiang exclaimed.

"Yes, that's right. This Li Xiaochang is the king of Yi'an County, and he is a relative of my Tang Emperor who can't beat him. When the emperor fought the world, in order to win over people, all cats and dogs also gave out titles. This Li Xiaochang is just a county order, and he has a little bit of kinship with Li Tang, so he is also crowned king. But now because his son was fooling around in Chang'an some time ago, he was executed, so he was resentful and wanted to rebel. This governor of Lizhou has jurisdiction over not only Lizhou, but also many places, and is a local prince and feudal official. If he rebelled, he could quickly block the passage into Bashu with his own troops, and then expand his army and become a prince. Back then, the emperor asked him to serve as the governor of Lizhou, which was for the sake of his relatives and relatives. But now he actually wants to use this advantage to rebel, which is terrible. Shi Bufan said.

"Of course, I knew he was going to rebel, but there was no evidence! Cats have catwalks, I inquired, but there is no evidence. So if you go this time, you can collect information about his rebellion, so that as long as there is evidence, then kill him like this, and you will be the hero who stopped the rebellion! At that time, you really had to be a great achievement! At that time, your credit was so great that it was not a problem to even move up three or four levels. Even, maybe you can go into more important departments, such as the Imperial History Observatory, the Ministry of Men and the Province of Zhongshu, which is a huge qualification! “

"So, you have to think clearly. Of course, this is also risky, what are you going to do, think about it yourself, right? ”

Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao plunged the two into deep thought, the former way, that is, hello, I am good, everyone, I don't care about the other party's rebellion, just fool the past. When the time comes, you can get a position step by step when you come back, and then you can be promoted step by step. Moreover, there is no need to take any risks, because the duty of this interviewer is not to investigate the rebellion of officials, but only to investigate the people. So they didn't investigate this rebellion, and they can't blame them all, so it's still safe.

But the latter method, which directly tells the matter of Li Xiaochang's rebellion, is absolutely huge in terms of credit and political capital. With this credit, the future promotion will definitely be like a rush, and that is Jane in the emperor's heart! But it is also very dangerous, in case their investigation of the rebellion is exposed, then Li Xiaochang can arrest him at any time, and then kill him silently. Even if the court quells the rebellion at that time, then they will all be dead, what's the point? That's a big loss, so it's very difficult to choose between these two.

However, Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao will make a decision soon.

"Master, wealth and wealth are in danger, we are willing to face the last one! Please also ask the master for guidance, if we find out the evidence at that time, then what will we do? What if Li Xiaochang finds out and wants to kill us? What's more, if we want to get the evidence, even if we run away in time, then Li Xiaochang will immediately rebel, and we won't be able to send the evidence back in time! Ren Yaxiang said.

Shi Bufan immediately said: "Who said that you want to send it back immediately, you directly ordered to take down Li Xiaochang, isn't that okay?" Can't you even do that, so what do you eat? Now that the world is peaceful, there are not many people willing to rebel at all. Even if Li Xiaochang wants to rebel, someone has to follow! As long as you take him, then announce in time that he is going to rebel, and his subordinates will not follow. But if you leave, it won't be easy for them to coerce their generals. As long as you take it, then their subordinates will not follow to the death. Now that the world is finally peaceful, who wants to fight? Therefore, all you have to do is take him down, and a great chaos will disappear invisibly. ”

"Once he rebelled and the imperial court mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, at that time, not to mention whether there would be deaths, even if the consumption of people eating horses and chewing was enough for me to eat all the financial resources that we Datang already had to eat. What should we do at that time, do we Datang want to raise taxes on the people? Once the tax is raised, will the peaceful people be forced to rebel again? This is also unknown, so you just take it down, and that series of things won't happen, and the credit is in the community! Such a great credit has avoided a rebellion that may have toppled the community, and such a credit is not insignificant. But if you come back with evidence in one more move, it will be a rebellion immediately, and the daylilies will be cold! ”

Xin Mao will immediately say: "The people are the king of Nghe An, we take it without permission, then ......"

After Ren Yaxiang heard this, he also added: "That's simple, as long as we fake the edict, then we can take it." As long as we can convey the fake edict, then directly let the local officers and soldiers take down Li Xiaochang. Li Xiaochang is not enough to be alone, at most he has some personal soldiers around him, and we directly let the local officers and soldiers take it, so that they can obey orders even if they are hindered by the fake edict. All we have to do is show the evidence, and that's all right. ”

Shi Bufan patted Ren Yaxiang's shoulder and said, "Very good, promising, really promising, can you even think of this?" ”

General Xin Mao hesitated and said, "This is a false edict, but it is a big crime to punish the nine clans!" “

"What is the great sin? As long as you can put an end to this rebellion, that's the real thing. Of course, there is also the possibility of the so-called offsetting of merits and demerits. But don't look at it as a countervail, but that's just a way to deal with it. The real thing to do is that the emperor remembers you in his heart, and remembers that you can make decisions on the spot, and can eliminate a major rebellion in this court in time to avoid more serious consequences. At that time, even if the merits and demerits are offset, then you will be transferred to a position at the same level but very important. At that time, the emperor remembered you in his heart, and promotion was inevitable. Aren't we from a poor family mainly looking at the emperor's trust? There are people behind us, but there must be someone above to pull us, otherwise we will make slow progress! ”

Shi Bufan wants to use this Li Xiaochang's head as a step for the progress of his two apprentices, step on Li Xiaochang's head to climb up, and even use this Li Xiaochang's blood to stain the official uniform on his body. Anyway, since this Li Xiaochang wants to rebel, then don't blame Shi Bufan for using his head. This credit is not given to anyone, so it is better to give it to its two fugitives. Otherwise, these two apprentices will definitely not be able to be promoted quickly in a short period of time. If you don't take shortcuts, how do you keep them up to you? Therefore, only by letting them be promoted as soon as possible, so that they can become their important right-hand man, so that they are not fighting alone.

These two guys are vicious dogs that they let out to bite people, and they can be released to hit others when necessary. If Liu Renliang is a like-minded 'comrade', and these two are his two vicious dogs, an important means to release and bite people. Of course, although there is a crime of falsely proclaiming the holy decree by doing so, the merits and demerits are certain. But in the emperor's heart, although the merits and demerits are offset, your credit is still very huge, and that is Jane in the emperor's heart. At present, Hanmen wants to be promoted, nothing more than to see his status in the emperor's mind. As long as the status is high, you can get a better future, otherwise it will definitely be much more difficult. As an official, someone must be on top of it, and someone above must be pulled. There is no pull on the top, and the speed is very slow. If there is no top, the foundation is unstable and may fall at any time.

"Got it? After you go, as long as there are some signs, then you will not hesitate to fake the edict and arrest this Li Xiaochang, so that you will have a great achievement. Shi Bufan said seriously. (To be continued.) )
