The news that Emperor Yaoqi ordered a retrial of Zhang Juzheng's case quickly spread throughout the capital, and after being surprised, most of them were happy. Many of the rotten people who are clamoring in ordinary life are no longer talking at this time.

The news spread quickly, but the trial of the case was very low-key, as if everything was going on quietly. In the following years, Emperor Yaoqi did not issue any new decrees, and Běijing City seemed to be quiet again, returning to its previous state. It's just that many people understand that the silence is short-lived, and when the two cases are completed, the entire capital will set off a storm again, but with what happened last time, there shouldn't be too much surprise this time.

Everything is calm in Běijing City, and there doesn't seem to be much going on in Liaodong, and Sun Chengzong has been in Shenyang Zhongwei for three years. During the time of Sanyao, Sun Chengzong conducted a comprehensive investigation here, and found that the people here were rich, the soldiers were sharp, and the military discipline was strict, and Wu Xiang was indeed a talent.

"Da Jin, the lower official is back!" Coming to Sun Chengzong's side, Xiong Tingbi hugged his fist at Sun Chengzong and said in a deep voice.

Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "Feibai has worked hard, come, sit down and drink tea!" ”

"Xie Dajin!" Taking the tea handed over by Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.

After a slight ponder, Sun Chengzong asked quite seriously, "How is it?" Have you found out what happened? ”

"Go back to Dajin, check it out! There are about 60,000 people here, and because the guard general Wu Xiang has a thousand talents and soldiers, it is rarely disturbed and robbed here. The people here can also farm with confidence, and the annual harvest is very good, and the people's life is very rich. The people here would use half of their annual income to pay taxes, and some even paid more, except for those for the imperial court, and the rest was used as military rations. It's just that the military rations are not used so much, and the rest of the food was all sold by Wu Xiang, and all of them were exchanged for money to buy the armor and weapons of the soldiers. Xiong Tingbi's face was also neat, and he said in a deep voice.

Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "I have long guessed that this is what it looks like, and the people of Liaodong have also thought about a stable riddle." They are willing to give more for this goal. By the way, who did Wu Xiang's grain and grass sell to? And from whom did you buy the things? ”

"Back to Dajin, it's Liu Che, the governor of Jiliao! Wu Xiang usually used grain to exchange for him, and when he handed over the grain here, he would send things there. Xiong Tingbi sighed deeply and said helplessly.

Sighing softly, Sun Chengzong said helplessly: "This is how he harmed the Ming Dynasty!" Don't spread the word about it, let's just assume we don't know! Wu Xiang is not easy, let's be considerate! ”

"Yes, Dajin, I understand!" Facing Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.

Thinking about it with his hands behind his back, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "We have been here for three years, let's go and say hello to Wu Xiang!" Let's get out of here and go to the next place! ”

When Sun Chengzong was about to leave, He Shixian came here in Shenyang City, and the arrival of this entry made the bored He Shixian finally find something to do!

"General, there's a general outside!" The soldiers hugged their fists at He Shixian and said loudly.

Frowning slightly, since Sun Chengzong and the others left Shenyang City, He Shixian's heart has not been happy. That kind of thing actually didn't let me go, what do you say that you are respectable and should sit in Shenyang City, thinking of this, He Shixian is angry. Hearing that Youjin wanted to see him, Xiong Tingbi suddenly frowned, and said a little unhappily: "Who is it?" ”

"General Hui is a general, who claims to be Zhao Shujiao!" The soldier clenched his fists and said loudly.

Hearing this name, He Shixian frowned, he had heard of this entry, but the two entry were not from the same faction. Before Sun Chengzong came to Liaodong, the army in Liaodong was roughly divided into three factions, and there were two factions in Shenyang, one led by Yang Yuan. This faction relied on smuggling and collaborating with the enemy to obtain a large amount of money, and the quality of the officers in the army was underground, so it was natural not to mention the combat effectiveness. The second faction is the faction led by He Shixian, and there are some upright generals in this faction who dare to fight and are not afraid of death. But he is always squeezed out, and his equipment is terrible, but his combat effectiveness is the highest.

The last faction is the faction led by Yuan Yingtai, the former governor of Liaodong, Yuan Yingtai is a good official, but he doesn't understand anything about military affairs. However, here in Liaodong, if you don't control a little military power, you have no right to speak. In order to have the right to speak, Yuan Yingtai also won over some generals, but he didn't understand military affairs, so he came in to give him advice! This Zhao Shujiao is the number one strategist under Yuan Yingtai, who was originally a general, but because he fled from the battle, he became the commander. In fact, according to the law of Da Ming, Zhao Shujiao's crime is enough to kill his head, but I don't know who he found to save his life.

For this kind of entry, He Shixian looked down on it, and it can be said that he was very bored. Since Sun Chengzong came to Liaodong, He Shixian was impressed by Sun Chengzong's ability and quality, and He Shixian's faction naturally became Sun Chengzong's faction. Yuan Yingtai's faction was mainly concentrated in Liaoyang, and was naturally taken over by Yang Lian, the new governor of Liaodong. However, Yang Lian seemed to feel that he didn't need to enter like this, so he naturally handed over these entries to Sun Chengzong. In the army, the most admired thing is the ability to enter, Sun Chengzong simply became Zhuge Wuhou in the world. Those soldiers and generals were all extremely admired, and naturally they had no other ideas.

As for Yang Yuan's faction, most of the officers were arrested, and more than 10,000 were laid off, and the rest were all merged into He Shixian. At this time, there were no factions in Liaodong, and all the entries belonged to Sun Chengzong's faction.

Like Zhao Shujiao, many people in the army can't look down on it, I don't know what to do when I come here at this time, I groaned a little, He Shixian still decided to let him in, anyway, he was bored! Glancing at his own soldiers, He Shixian said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!" ”

"Yes, General!" The pro-soldier replied, and turned and walked out.

After a short time, the sound of footsteps was remembered outside, and as the shadow flickered, a person walked in quickly. The one who walked in was a middle-aged man in his forties, not very tall, not very burly, wearing a Ming standard military uniform and carrying a knife around his waist.

Looking at Zhao Shujiao who walked in, He Shixian was slightly stunned, and Zhao Shujiao seemed to be different before. Before this, He Shixian had also seen Zhao Shujiao, and Zhao Shujiao at that time always had a smile on his face, but it was the kind of common skin smile that did not smile. He Shixian once suspected that Zhao Shujiao was not a military general, and this kind of entry was like a risky reading no matter how you look at it.

After learning that Zhao Shujiao was a martial artist in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, He Shixian's face was full of disbelief. How did such a timid and Wenjin guy get admitted to the Wujinshi? There is only one answer in He Shixian's heart, that is, Zhao Shujiao cheated, which is another reason why He Shixian looks down on Zhao Shujiao.

However, the person who appeared in front of He Shixian at this time was different, dressed in a military uniform, without that smile on his face, but he looked a little more solemn. With his right hand pressing the hilt of the knife, he walked with a very steady foot, and the god in his eyes was different, it was a kind of indifference, an indifference that had been putting life and death out of the way. At this moment, He Shixian knew that he had thought a lot of things wrong, there must be a reason why Zhao Shujiao was like before, and the current Zhao Shujiao is the real Zhao Shujiao.

"Humble Zhao led the sect, I have seen General He!" Although Zhao Shujiao and He Shixian are about the same age, and may be a few years older than He Shixian, the official positions of the two are not far apart. In the past, Zhao Shujiao was a general, He Shixian was the chief soldier, and now Zhao Shujiao has become the general, and He Shixian has become a loyal and brave uncle, and the difference is getting bigger and bigger!

Nodding slowly, He Shixian said in a deep voice: "General Zhao, excuse yourself!" We're old friends too, so there's no need to be so polite! ”

"The general is polite, he can't afford to be called a general, and now he is just a general!" The expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice.

Smiling indifferently, He Shixian said in a deep voice: "How can you not memorize words in this life, you will get better in the future, sit down!" ”

After Zhao Shujiao sat down, He Shixian pondered for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Zhao, don't be quick Brother Zhao doesn't like what he says, although we knew each other before, we are not familiar with each other. The elder brother also said bluntly, I don't know what happened to Brother Zhao this time? "No matter whose age is older, He Shixian has made up his mind to occupy the position of the elder brother.

Facing He Shixian, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from the elder brother, this time Zhao Shuijiao is here to beg the elder brother to come!" I hope the elder brother can help the younger brother, although we didn't have a deep friendship before, but we have also had several faces, and I can only come to the general in Liaodong! ”

After a slight hesitation, He Shixian hesitated and said: "Brother, the elder brother asked a word that should not be asked, but the elder brother followed Yuan Yingtai and Yuan Dajin, why did he come here?" Could it be that Yuan Yingtai and Yuan Dajin didn't prepare a way for the virtuous brother? ”

"Brother, the younger brother won't hide it from you, Yuan Dajin did find an errand for the lowly position, but the lowly post did not go, he was the Praetorian Guard in the capital!" Sighing softly, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice.

"The Praetorian Guards in the capital are a good place, I wonder why Brother Zhao didn't go?" Looking at Zhao Shujiao with puzzlement, he asked in a deep voice. In his opinion, Zhao Shujiao should go back to the capital like this, just in time to be able to retire!

Facing He Shixian's insecurity, Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice: "General, if the emperor sends you to the capital, are you willing?" ”

Without thinking about it, He Shixian shook his head, he was working hard in Liaodong, even if he was shrouded in horse leather, he would be straight in this life!
