In mid-June, the imperial court sent a patrol to Henan to understand the situation.

At the end of the first month, Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, rushed to the capital to report the bad situation in Henan to the then military secretary and now the cabinet assistant minister Yang Sichang.

Nearly half a year has passed, and the situation in Henan has gradually improved, and the imperial court has sent a patrol to Henan to investigate.

Xiong Wencan could only shake his head and sigh, if he followed the style of doing things like the imperial court, he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything.

On behalf of the imperial court, the inspector of the imperial history was Zhang Pu, the head of the household department.

This surprised Xiong Wencan, before serving as the governor of the five provinces, he was in the military department for many years, knew about many disputes in the court, and also understood who Zhang Pu was, the head of the household department who became the leader of the Fushe at a young age, and Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, can be described as a mortal enemy, of course, Xiong Wencan also knew that Zheng Xunrui did not really do anything to Zhang Pu and others, otherwise Zhang Pu and others would have been miserable.

It was Zheng Jiajun who defeated Li Zicheng this time and recaptured Luoyang Mansion City, and it was Zheng Xunrui who commanded the battle.

At this time, Xiong Wencan naturally thought of the prison army.

When he entered the house, Gao Qiqian's face was not very good, and he also knew about the imperial court sending an inspector to the imperial history.

"Lord Xiong, please come to our family, is it for the imperial court to send a patrol to the imperial history?"

"Gao Jianjun is right, General Gao and this official have been in the imperial court for many years, and the situation in this imperial court, this official does not need to say much, Zhang Pu, the head of the household department, served as the inspector of the imperial history, and the official really didn't expect it."

"Lord Xiong didn't expect it. I didn't think of it, I really don't know what the cabinet lords mean. ”

At the beginning, the two of them were silent at the same time, and they knew all about the battle in the court. This time Zhang Pu came to Henan to investigate, Xiong Wencan was worried, and Gao Qiqian was even more worried, after all, he had already received the news, at most until the end of the year. It is very likely that he will return to the capital, and it is very likely that he will be in charge of the East Factory, if Zhang Pu comes to Henan this time to find trouble, then his return to the capital may be in vain.

After a long while, Xiong Wencan spoke again, this time directly naming the problem.

"Gao Jianjun, since the problem has come, it is impossible to avoid it, this Zhang Pu and Master Zheng are opposites, and they have always been out of tune. This time, did you hear any rumors and came to look for trouble......"

"Lord Xiong, let's see, where is Zhang Pu the opponent of Lord Zheng, Lord Zheng is open-minded, adults don't care about villains, that Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Wu Weiye, Wu Changshi and Gong Dingyu and others can be arrogant, if Lord Zheng makes a move, they are afraid that they will be wiped out long ago."

"That's what Gao Jianjun said. However, Zhang Pu is patrolling the imperial history, if he comes to Henan this time to investigate and find out whether the Zheng family army is involved in the fierce battle, will he take the opportunity to make a fuss. If it's really such a mind, then you can't underestimate it. ”

"Hmph, our family is here, and it's not his turn to be arrogant."

Xiong Wencan could only smile bitterly, at this time, it was useless to say that he was angry, and he had to think of a way to deal with it.

"High Supervisor Army. The official intends to write a letter to the cabinet of Cabinet Zhang Fengyi, Yang Yipeng, and Yang Sichang, on the one hand, to report the situation in Henan again, and on the other hand, to make some explanations. ”

Hold up and concentrate on comprehension.

"Lord Xiong's method is good, in this way, our family also has to find a way, we can't watch Zhang Pu come chaotically, our family also has to write a letter to the capital, explaining the situation in Henan, Lord Xiong and our family are trying to find ways to exterminate the Liukou, but the imperial court sent a patrol to press the imperial history at this time, what did you do earlier."

Because of the vital interests involved, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian quickly agreed on their opinions, according to the power behind the two, as long as they write a letter to the capital and get the support from above, it can be said that it is foolproof, that is to say, no matter how Zhang Pu comes to Henan to investigate, it will be fruitless in the end, don't think about picking out any faults, and don't think about being able to impeach anyone.

But the hearts of the two are still very uncomfortable, they don't know why the imperial court will send a patrol to the imperial history at this time, the situation in Henan has gradually stabilized, and it is completely different from a few months ago, and the relevant war report is also specially performed to the cabinet and the military department, originally thought that they would wait for the court's commendation, who knows that it is the imperial history that is waiting for the imperial history.

Could it be said that some people in the court doubted them, or that some people wanted to take advantage of the situation in Henan to make a good fuss.

Zheng Xunrui has been away from Luoyang Mansion for more than half a month, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian also led the army back to Kaifeng Mansion, to say that for more than half a month, everything is very calm, Xiong Wencan is still thinking about it, find the opportunity, the army will go to Runing Mansion to exterminate the Liukou, the strength of the Liukou in this area is the weakest.

After Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian finished talking, as soon as they returned to the room, the soldiers came to report that the governor of Henan, Lord Wu Fu, had arrived.

Xiong Wencan knew that Wu Fu was afraid that it was also for the sake of patrolling the imperial history.

Wu Fu is not a member of the Donglin Party, and there is no direct conflict between him and the Donglin Party, and he has always paid more attention to the relationship with the Donglin Party, but the imperial court sent a patrol to the imperial history, and I am afraid that it is also directly involved in Wu Fu's interests.

Sure enough, when Wu Fu entered the room, his face was not very good.

As soon as the two exchanged a few words, Wu Fu got to the point.

"My lord, what is the purpose of this imperial court, the lower officials remember that they were also sent to the imperial court, this time has been very calm, why did the imperial court suddenly send a patrol to Henan, could it be that something was wrong."

Xiong Wencan sighed.

"Lord Wu, the most important thing is who is the patrol of the imperial history, the patrol of the imperial history sent by the imperial court this time is the head of the household department, Lord Zhang Pu, you also know the identity of this Lord Zhang Pu."

"It is precisely because the lower officials know that Zhang Pu is patrolling the imperial history, so they came to find the adult, and it is not because the imperial court is specifically looking for problems."

Xiong Wencan made a special trip to the capital, Gao Qiqian knew, Wu Fu didn't know, this is also one of the reasons why Wu Fu is more uneasy, but Xiong Wencan will not break it in this regard, Xiong Wencan has just discussed with Gao Qiqian, and has found a way to deal with it, which he will not say, after all, the relationship between Xiong Wencan and Wu Fu is only average, not intimate, so there are many things, Xiong Wencan will not say.

Seeing that Wu Fu was very anxious, Xiong Wencan opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Lord Wu, don't be too anxious, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you can always think of a way, Lord Wu has been in Henan for many years, so hard, presumably the court also knows, if the court wants to hold anyone responsible, I am afraid that it will send people to Henan a long time ago, and it will not wait until now."

Wu Fu nodded, still not very relieved.

Xiong Wencan smiled on his face and spoke again.

"Lord Wu, the senior supervisor army and the official are in Kaifeng Fucheng, we will not leave here for the time being, and when the patrol comes to Henan, we must also meet the official, and the official will speak impartially at that time."

Xiong Wencan said this, and a look of relief finally appeared on Wu Fu's face.

"That's the best, thank you for your concern, if you have an adult who speaks out fairly, then there will be no problem."

After Wu Fu left, Xiong Wencan instructed his soldiers not to disturb anyone.

Xiong Wencan thought of other things at the moment, whether to inform Zheng Xunrui of the matter of the imperial court sending a patrol to the imperial history, so that Zheng Xunrui could also be prepared, otherwise the imperial court would really investigate the matter of the battle of Luoyang, I am afraid that the two sides said differently, and there was a deep contradiction between Zhang Pu and Zheng Xunrui, and no one could guarantee that Zhang Pu would make a fuss about it.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiong Wencan wrote a letter, sending the imperial history to patrol the imperial history, the imperial court did not report the palace, and the imperial history came directly to Henan with the emperor's holy decree.

Just when Xiong Wencan was writing a letter, Gao Qidive, who was not far from him, was also writing a letter.

Gao Qiqian must write a letter to Zheng Xunrui, after all, the relationship between them is not ordinary, if Zheng Xunrui is not told about such a big thing, Gao Qiqian's heart is uneasy, and Gao Qiqian's letter is written in great detail, including how he and Xiong Wencan discussed, what methods are ready to be used, etc., all of which are said in the letter.

However, Gao Qiqian did not plan to inform Xiong Wencan of this matter, this is a personal private matter.

After Wu Fu returned to the governor's yamen, the more he thought about the moon, he felt that something was wrong, the imperial court sent the patrol according to the rules of the imperial history, he still knew, he was sent to Shaanxi to inspect, and he stayed in Shaanxi as the governor, that was because Shaanxi suffered a great drought, and he went to relieve it on behalf of the imperial court.

The imperial court sends an inspector to the imperial history, generally because there is something in the local area, and this patrol is not sent casually.

Although Xiong Wencan said it lightly, Wu Fu would not be absolutely relieved, and after thinking about it, he decided to write a letter to the capital, and also planned to write a letter to Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, to tell Zheng Xunrui about the dispatch of the imperial court to patrol the imperial history, and maybe Zheng Xunrui could also help him analyze the reasons.

Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, Gao Qiqian, the superintendent of the army, and Wu Fu, the governor of Henan, wrote to Zheng Xunrui at the same time, talking about one thing, which is also a spectacle, of course, the angle of the three people is different, and the content written must be different, which can help Zheng Xunrui better analyze the problems.
