Chapter 356: Extinguishing the Mouth
A few days later, Song Yingchang, the governor of Shandong, came to Dengzhou in a hurry to meet Zheng Guobao. This article was written by...... This governor of the Song Dynasty is an outlier in the officialdom of the dynasty. The face of the next life is peculiar, literati and martial appearance, purple hair, majestic; Second, he has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he has studied the Jingchu long sword for many years, and his martial arts are high, and the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes may not be his opponents.
He is also very bold, without the sour and rotten atmosphere of a literati, and his relationship with Zheng Guobao is not far or close, and he has not had many contacts. But this time, there was such a big mess in Dengzhou, and he couldn't help it.
The main altar of the Demon Sect is located in Dengzhou, and at the same time, the largest combat unit in Dengzhou, the first elite soldier in Shandong, actually colluded with Banzhou and plotted against him. The two things are one, if you do it a little strictly, it is enough to give Song Yingchang a seal. Coming with him, there was also a young general, after seeing Zheng Guobao, he first kowtowed to the rules, and then said: "Little nephew Li Rubai, I have seen Uncle Guo." ”
Zheng Guobao is very kind. "Brother Bai, you don't have to be polite. Uncle Li called me a little brother back then, that was his old joke, I can't take it seriously, it's better for us to talk about brothers. This time, Song Futai was actually alarmed, a capital crime, a capital crime. ”
Song Yingchang said: "Uncle Guo, there are still a lot of military affairs to deal with in my yamen, and the time is very tight." You have made such a big move this time, what kind of calculation are you making, can you give me a bottom today, so that I can have a number in my heart? ”
Li Rubai spoke more bluntly, "My father said that he is old and can't do it anymore, and he has long wanted to go home and hug his grandson." Now that such a big thing has happened, the face of the Northern Army has been disgraced. As long as Uncle Guo said a word, my father immediately went to the fold, resigned and went into hiding, and took our brothers to go home to live. ”
"Song Futai, Brother Bai, you all have a serious word. What is that? There are such thoughts in the lower officials, you think too much, you think too much. ”
Zheng Guobao smiled and played haha with Song Yingchang and Li Rubai. "If I have the opportunity to make things difficult with the Northern Army. The heart that can't get along with Lao Futai makes me thunder and thunder. If I really had this idea, I wouldn't have sent the confession to the two of you first. It's just too big. Brother, I can't hold it down. Otherwise. I just took it down. ”
Li Rubai also knew that this incident really touched the bottom line of the imperial court, even the Northern Army, which was famous for protecting its shortcomings. You can't ask for such a big thing to be suppressed and not dealt with. The Li family has become a general-style man in Liaodong, building Liaodong like an iron bucket, and in the court, they have also shown their own spokesperson to speak for the Northern Army. However, in this matter, even the best speech officials are difficult to find a reason to speak for the Li family. I only hope that Uncle Guo will not be involved in the whole Li family, from the champion Hou to the entire Li family.
Zheng Guobao had a good relationship with the Li family before, and this time he took the initiative to confess, which made Li Chengliang feel that there was still room for maneuver in this matter, and his retreat was also a kind of temptation, in the name of resignation, to explore the tone of his uncle. Seeing Zheng Guobao's attitude, it was indeed not to embarrass the entire system of the Northern Army, Li Rubai breathed a sigh of relief. He added: "I have known Champion Hou for a few years, and we drank together back then. He is my father's godson, and he is my brother-in-law, and when my father came, he asked me to bring him some Liaodong snacks for him to taste. He has committed such a big crime, he can't eat this in the future, I don't know if Uncle Guo can fulfill it, let him eat some Liaodong snacks, and then go on the road. ”
"It's nothing. Rubai just go with confidence, the champion Hou had made meritorious contributions to the imperial court at the beginning, can I not meet such a small request? But Brother Rubai, when he finishes his snack, I also have something to do, ask the old uncle for help, please bring the words over. ”
Li Rubai smiled, "What Uncle Guo thinks, we actually understand." Dad asked me to bring you a sentence, you are right, the army is divided into north and south, but there is only one court. The main soldiers and guest soldiers, the southern soldiers and the northern soldiers, are all Qiu Bajun who worked hard for the imperial court, and in the future, all the southern soldiers on the territory of our northern army will be our brothers, and no one will dare to deduct their money and food, and take their rewards. Who dares to make things difficult for the Southern Army brothers, and if Uncle Guo doesn't do it, my father personally went over and ended him. ”
There are gains and losses, such a big thing, Uncle Guo is willing to let it go, and he must also ask for it. Li Chengliang is the master of old and refined people, Zheng Guobao wrote to him that there is a difference between north and south, and there is no difference between east and west in the country. Let him understand what Uncle Guo wants. Since he came to Liaodong, he regarded it as his own territory, and he didn't like the southern soldiers to interfere, and he couldn't wait to get rid of the bloodline left by Qi Nantang. But now, the Northern Army has planted such a big heel, and if the people in the court want to embarrass themselves and use this matter to make trouble with the wind and rain, the Li family will have to suffer some losses, and even the Hetao Guard, who has finally stabilized Dìng, has to be handed over. After weighing it, Li Chengliang still chose to tolerate the southern soldiers living in the north, in exchange for making this matter a big thing small and a small matter.
Li Rubai went to deliver snacks to the champion Hou, and Song Yingchang and Zheng Guobao were left in this room. Song Yingchang is bold and has a bit of a Jianghu style. patted the armrest with his hand, "Uncle Guo, Song is just a civil official, this governor's seal was also taken over at the beginning of the year, and he hasn't covered it in his hand yet, it's too much, I can't help." If you want my seal, I will hand it over with both hands, and go home and wait for it to be restored. ”
"Song Junmen, you are too polite. This matter has little to do with you, you received the seal at the beginning of the year, and the local affairs have not been smoothed out, so the responsibility for this matter cannot be blamed on you. However, whoever let this matter be your case, I have to tell you that you can be prepared. lest there be a disturbance in the court in the future and you will be caught off guard. ”
"Uncle Guo is polite. The old man has been an official for a short time, and his foundation is shallow, so he can't help his uncle. Dengzhou Prefecture has six counties under its jurisdiction, and those county orders must all be printed this time, and the second official must also be dismissed. The officials involved in the Demon Sect will also be taken to prison, and maybe a few more will be killed. If Uncle Guo has a few subordinates, he doesn't think that the official is petty, but the old man can arrange one or two. ”
"Old Futai, I have a heart. You're too polite, in fact, this little thing is not a matter, how can I take the opportunity to blackmail, what do you want? But since you said this, I can't be ashamed, those Zhejiang soldiers are very bitter. Some people have fought for half their lives and have been wounded, if they are driven out of the camp, how will you let them live? If I can make up for the identity of a clerk, even if I save the lives of his family, I will thank Lao Futai for those disabled Zhejiang soldiers. ”
Song Yingchang said again: "I can't control the affairs of the mine tax supervisor. In my Shandong, the old man will greatly assist. Speaking of which, the gentry of Shandong are not easier to deal with than the gentry in other places, urging the department every year, and working hard every year. But the former uncle was in Yangzhou and cleaned up the eight merchants, and these Shandong gentry became honest all of a sudden. It's only been a few days since you returned to Dengzhou, and a gentry asked someone to send a message to the old man, willing to take the initiative to pay taxes, just ask you not to go. ”
"Old soldier, this time, I guess I'm going to disappoint those gentry. Jinan is known as the spring city, there are so many scenery in the city, it would be a pity if I didn't go shopping. The concubines I brought with me are all bent on opening their eyes, and you said that if I don't go to Jinan, I won't be torn alive by them. ”
"Haha, Uncle Guo laughed. If Uncle Tiger is willing to come to Jinan, it is also a blessing for the people of Jinan, and the old man can't ask for it. ”
The reception banquet that night was enough to make trouble until the second watch, and then the banquet was dispersed. Ren Yingying shook her head when she saw her husband who was drinking alcohol, and poked his nose with a jade finger. "Didn't you quit drinking, and drink so much?"
"It's not okay to drink less. Li Rubai is from Kanto, and when they drink this wine, it's like drinking water, and they don't take it seriously at all. Where can I live? Thanks to Song Junmen blocking a lot for me, I would have been lying down earlier. ”
"Just know what to drink, drink and drink. The champion Hou ate the dim sum sent by Li Rubai, and died before it was dark. The phoenix has seen it, and it is clear that it is poisoned. ”
"I don't need to see Phoenix, I know he's poisoned. Li Chengliang can't let the champion Hou live, in case the champion Hou says something, won't Li Chengliang be passive? As soon as he said to send snacks, I knew that he was going to die. Extinguish the mouth, just extinguish the mouth, I didn't think about pulling out the Northern Army. He agreed to my conditions again, and the left and right are just to bear the charge of unfavorable care, and I have made such a great contribution this time, and I should bear some crimes. Otherwise, it will make the heavenly family embarrassed, and I don't know how to seal me. Yingying, wait a few days, I'll take you to Jinan to have fun. It is a famous spring town, and the scenery is very good. (To be continued......)
