The battle between the Yue family and the Wang family couldn't help but shock the entire Yingzhou Mansion, and even Xu Dingchen, the governor of Taiyuan Mansion, knew about it.
"My lord, the Yue family is extremely vicious, send someone to set fire to my Wangjiadian pΓΉ, kill my nursing home, such a mad person must not be tolerated and connived, and I hope that the lord will send troops to bring all the old and young people of Yuejiazhuang to justice, so as to show the majesty of the law of our court!"
In the back hall of the Taiyuan governor's yamen, Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi Province who was wearing a vermilion robe embroidered with brocade chickens on his chest, was sitting upright in the main hall, holding a cup of tea in his hand and tasting it slowly. It turned out that after receiving a letter from his Laozi Wang Shoucheng, he immediately ran to Xu Dingchen to complain.
Xu Dingchen raised his eyelids, snorted softly in his mouth, and said tepidly: "Okay, at this time, the official knows." However, for this matter, what the official wants to ask is, what evidence do you have to prove that it was the Yue family who did it at this time? β
"This ......" Wang Chengdong was stunned for a moment and then said loudly: "My lord, do you still use evidence at this time?" Who in the entire Yingzhou City doesn't know that the Yue family has practiced a group practice without authorization, and Yue Yang is even more ambitious, who else in addition to Yue Yang would be so bold and reckless to kill people and set fires? β
"Daring, murder and arson? Not necessarily, right? Xu Dingchen smiled faintly, put the teacup in his hand lightly on the table, and said softly: "How did this official hear that Yueyang held a regimental training, but it was approved by the military preparation road, and Yueyang ran a regimental training in less than three months, and led five hundred soldiers to destroy the thieves and soldiers, and relieved the siege of Yingzhou Mansion, why haven't you talked about these officials?" β
"This ......"
Wang Chengdong's tone was congested, and he couldn't help but hate in his heart, this Xu Dingchen is a second-grade governor, how can he even know so much about a little showman, this is really strange, is it difficult to bring Yue Yang This person has already been in contact with Xu Dingchen?
However, after all, Wang Chengdong is a Jinshi who has been nominated on the list, and the officials in the past few years have not been in vain, and the position of Yushi is dedicated to playing with people, so he naturally has his own set of experience for messing around. He quibbled: "Regarding the rescue of Yingzhou City by Yueyang, no official has reported to the imperial court at present, so it is unknown to go down, but looking at all parts of Yingzhou Capital, only the Yue family's regimental training team can have the strength to attack a large-scale caravan, and my lord must not fail to investigate!" β
"Enough!" Xu Dingchen impatiently slapped the teacup on the table and sneered: "This official is not old and confused, are you taking this official as one of those newcomers who have just entered the officialdom?" If you can judge people's sins based on conjecture alone, then what do you need to do with the Ming Law, and what do you need the King Law to do? β
"Oops, it seems that this old man Xu really wants to protect that Yueyang!" Wang Chengdong's heart spun quickly, and soon a cloud of doubt rose in his heart, "No, Old Man Xu has never seen that Yue Yang at all, how can he speak for him like this, could it be that Yue Yang has quietly followed Old Man Xu's path these days?" β
Wang Chengdong's mind turned countless circles in just a moment. It's just that the person concerned ignored him, but waved his hand impatiently, "Wang Yushi, do you have anything else?" β
Yes, this posture is clearly about to drive people away, although Wang Chengdong secretly hates it in his heart, he doesn't dare to say anything. Although he is sent by the imperial court to inspect the imperial history, it stands to reason that he does not belong to his officials, and his job is to pick thorns, but the person in front of him is the governor of the entire Shaanxi Province, the boss of the entire civil official system, and can be called the prince of the town guarding one side. Even if he is a little seven-rank sesame official, he doesn't dare to offend people too much, and more importantly, his family and the whole thing is in Shanxi.
"I didn't ...... No, the lower official won't bother the adults, farewell! Seeing that the complaint was not successful, Wang Chengdong had no choice but to leave in disgrace.
As soon as Wang Chengdong left, a middle-aged man in his forties with an ordinary appearance walked out of the screen behind Xu Dingchen, he looked at Wang Chengdong who disappeared at the door of the lobby and smiled: "Dong Weng, this Wang Chengdong can be said to have personally gone into battle this time, and he is not afraid."
Xu Dingchen snorted coldly and said: "This Wang Chengdong, as an inspector of imperial history, is so blatant to announce his personal vendetta to suppress dissidents, which is really despicable. β
After scolding, Xu Dingchen turned his head to the middle-aged man behind him and said, "Mr. Tang, does that Yueyang really have such ability, can he lead five hundred elite soldiers to destroy more than 10,000 thieves?" β
"Dong Weng, this matter is true!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Tang nodded affirmatively, this middle-aged man is Xu Dingchen's master, and he is also his number one staff, he is resourceful, not only won Xu Dingchen's trust, but also was responsible for Xu Dingchen's intelligence in the imperial court and various places.
Xu Dingchen swept away the stern expression just now, and asked with great interest, "This is also the reason why you asked me to keep him?" β
Master Tang smiled: "Dong Weng, this is not the only reason why the student asked you to help Yueyang. You think, Yueyang is a small talent, and Yuejiazhuang is just a small village with thousands of people, but Yueyang can create such an elite in a few months, aren't you curious? β
Xu Dingchen smiled and shook his head: "This problem should be sent by Zheng Kui, the governor of Yingzhou, but you also know the following things, it has always been good news but not bad news, and they can blow ten points of credit, so the old man has never believed in his own eyeliner." It's just that after you said this, the old man is really curious about this Yueyang, is this Yueyang really a rare general? β
Master Tang pondered for a while and said, "Dong Weng, with all due respect, you must have understood this battle, right?" Now I have Jiannu outside the Ming Dynasty, and there are rogues everywhere to cause trouble, although you are the governor of a province, but you do not have any military power in your hands, this is really a very dangerous thing. Fortunately, this time it was Yang Dazhu who led his troops to drive Gao Yingxiang and other thieves out of Shanxi, but Yang General did not wipe out all these thieves. β
Xu Dingchen was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "Well, keep talking!" β
The more Master Tang spoke, the smoother his thoughts became: "Dong Weng, don't you think it's very good to be able to form a group like Yue Yang to practice fighting thieves, not only does not need to consume the food and salary of the imperial court, but also can protect the territory and the people, and if you can envelop such a force, Jinglai can become your help once something happens, isn't it beautiful?" β
"Hmmm......"
As soon as he heard this, the corners of Xu Dingchen's eyes jumped slightly, this time Gao Yingxiang led the rogues to ravage Shanxi, the imperial court was shocked, and ordered him and Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, to suppress the bandits within a time limit, but his identity as a governor was quite embarrassing. There is no other reason, there is no military power!
This also leads him to have no way to deal with the Liukou, he can't let those officials go to fight the Liukou, those people can bully the ordinary people, if they let them go to exterminate the Liukou, it is better to save it, this incident also made Xu Dingchen have an enlightenment, so far in the troubled times, if there is no armed force in his hand that can obey his orders, it will not work.
It is precisely for this reason that when Wang Chengdong came in and asked him to severely punish the Xiucai named Yue Yang, Xu Dingchen would protect Yue Yang like this. Now that Master Tang said this, he was right about Xu Dingchen's thoughts.
Xu Dingchen thought for a while and said to Master Tang: "Xueying, you said that if the old man goes to Yingzhou Mansion in a few days, what do you think?" β
Master Tang smiled slightly: "Dong Weng's words are very good, the state capital has been besieged by thieves for several days without losing, and tens of thousands of thieves have been annihilated, as an important minister who guards the side for the Son of Heaven, you should go and take a look!" β
After that, Master Tang and Xu Dingchen glanced at each other and laughed at the same time, but Yue Yang, who was far away in Yingzhou, didn't know that he had also escaped unintentionally......
