Because the team is equipped with a lot of four-wheeled carriages, the equipment and baggage of the soldiers are basically on the carts, and the soldiers are basically weightless, so the speed of the march is very fast, and in just over ten days, it has been carried out on the ground of the capital.

Fang Wenjin caught up from behind two days ago, because there were few people, either riding a horse or riding a car, so his speed was faster, Fang Wen'er saw his father, it was naturally a burst of howling and crying, Fang Wenjin saw his grandson, felt very happy, and simply brought his grandson to his car all day long. didn't care about Wang Dalun at all.

Although there is no longer a drag oil bottle, Wang Dalun does not dare to be as presumptuous as he was two days ago, after all, his father-in-law is here, and his behavior has to be somewhat restrained, his appearance makes Fang Wen'er amused for a while, and jokes that when he sees his father, it is a mouse that sees a cat.

In this regard, Wang Dalun said very eloquently: "I respect the old and love the young, understand, give face to the elderly!" ”

Anyway, Wang Dalun was quiet, and when the troops arrived at Zhending Mansion, suddenly news came from the front, saying that there was a captain of the Jinyi Guard waiting in front and wanted to see Wang Dalun by name.

Wang Dalun heard this, and also felt strange, so he had to rush to the front of the team, only to see five horsemen waiting on the side of the road, five people were wearing flying fish suits, standard brocade guards, Wang Dalun hurriedly walked over, only to see the brocade guard in the middle hurriedly jumped off the horse, shouted at Wang Dalun: "Young master, I'm here!" ”

Wang Dalun hurriedly walked over, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Wang Erzhu, wrong, this kid changed his name and was called Wang Chaozhu. I haven't seen him for more than a year, this kid has grown taller, his body has become stronger, and with the majestic flying fish suit, Wang Dalun can't recognize it all of a sudden.

Wang Erzhu took three steps and two steps, rushed to Wang Dalun, and said happily: "Young master, I see you again!" ”

"Call brother, don't call young master!" Wang Dalun waved his hand and said, now Wang Erzhu recognizes Wang Xinxin as his godfather. You can't call the young master long and the young master short anymore. Otherwise, Wang Zhixin's face is not good-looking.

Wang Erzhu stuck out his tongue and scratched his head very embarrassedly, "Hehe, this is not called habit." So it hasn't changed! ”

Wang Dalun glanced at the brocade guard behind Wang Erzhu. He said lightly: "You have to learn to pay attention." Now it's all Jinyiwei, why can't you remember, you forgot what I told you before? ”

Wang Erzhu looked at Wang Dalun's eyes. Knowing what he was thinking about, Wang Erzhu said with a smile: "Young master, it's okay, these are all my trusted brothers, they don't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

"I can't see that I haven't seen you for a long time, not only is the person in spirit, but also an official? Yes, it seems that you still mix well in the capital! Wang Dalun patted Wang Erzhu's shoulder and said very affectionately.

"Young master, this is not thanks to you, the silver you gave me has helped me a lot, now there are my acquaintances everywhere in the capital, plus your four-wheeled carriage, now my godfather is good to me!" Wang Erzhu said very gratefully, relying on the road and silver paved by Wang Dalun, he is finally a little person now.

"You're here on business this time? You can't come to see me on purpose, do you? This is not good, let people know the truth, and they will say that yours is not! Wang Dalun asked about Wang Erzhu's intention.

Wang Erzhu smiled, "Young Master, you don't know that I want to kill you, I know that you are coming, of course I want to come and see, don't worry, my godfather knows that I am coming, and he specially asked me to come over and tell a few words!"

"Oh, thank you so much!" Wang Dalun heard this, no matter what Wang Erzhu wanted to tell, he was very grateful, last time Wang Zhixin reminded himself to avoid suspicion, and this time he asked Wang Erzhu to remind himself that this friend is worth making.

"Young master, let's find a convenient place to talk!" Wang Erzhu saw that this was not the place to speak, so he hurriedly proposed.

Wang Dalun nodded, anyway, he was about to arrive at Zhending Mansion, and the army couldn't enter the city, so he simply camped on the spot, first, to listen to what Wang Erzhu had to say, and secondly, to call the old man from before and get together with Wang Erzhu.

When the camp was set up, there were only Wang Erzhu and Wang Dalun in the camp, only to see Wang Erzhu look around, and after making sure that there was no one, he said solemnly: "My godfather asked me to tell you that the situation in Shandong is very complicated now, and it is not as simple as you understand, so let you pay more attention to it, don't set yourself on fire!" ”

When Wang Dalun heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Now that Kong Youde is in turmoil in Shandong, and some of the guerrillas in Houjin have not completely withdrawn, this is a matter on the surface, which is also the reason why the emperor transferred you over. But do you know why Lu Dao also transferred Lord Fang? ”

Wang Dalun shook his head, signaling that he didn't know, and he said in his heart: Isn't it that Chongzhen has been in trouble recently, so he transferred his father-in-law over so that it is convenient to take advantage of me?

Wang Erzhu immediately gave the answer: "On the surface, it was because Shandong suffered a military disaster, so let Lord Fang come over to take over the aftermath, but in fact, Shandong is a powder keg that will explode at any time, so no one dares to touch this nail!" ”

Wang Dalun was even more puzzled, he asked, "How do you say this?" It's not that serious, is it? ”

"It's serious!" Wang Erzhu shook his head, and he continued: "Shandong is a big province, and it is close to the capital, and this place is usually fat, but why is no one planning to take over?" Because people who know the inside story of the Tao can't avoid it! First of all, let me tell you, there is not a single tael of silver in the treasury of Shandong now! ”

"What? Impossible, right? Wang Dalun opened his mouth wide, although Shandong suffered a military disaster, but Jinan was not broken, why is there no silver or two.

"That's exactly what happened! The former governor said that in order to defend the city, so the recruitment was spent, I don't know if this is true or not, anyway, there is no silver or two in the treasury, although the emperor does not believe it, but after all, he kept Jinan from loss, and the clan did not suffer any damage, so he had to let him go! ”

Wang Dalun was depressed for a while, and Chongzhen was ready to slaughter a fat sheep, such a mess was thrown over, and it was too obvious to see our Weng and son-in-law.

Wang Erzhu looked at Wang Dalun's appearance, and couldn't help but smile slightly, he continued: "My godfather said, if this is alone, it is not a big deal, grit your teeth and persist for half a year, and when the summer tax is collected, the situation will be alleviated." But I'm afraid I won't be able to last this half a year! ”

"Can't hold on, what do you mean?" When Wang Dalun heard this, he felt even more depressed.

"My godfather said that there are three evils in Shandong, the clan, the Confucian Sect and the salt administration, as soon as these three occur, no matter how capable you are, they will blow you to pieces!" Wang Erzhu said in the tone of Wang Xinxin.

"Three evils? How can this be said, where is there no sect, why is it a harm? Wang Dalun asked very strangely.

"The key Shandong King Lu and the emperor's blood relationship is the closest, is the emperor's own uncle, the emperor did not ascend to the throne, King Lu still takes care of the emperor very much, and there is no shortage of gifts for the New Year's holidays. Now that the emperor has ascended to the throne, he naturally treats King Lu very preferentially. But as soon as a person is proud, he is easy to his tail and act without scruples! ”

Wang Erzhu began to continue to reveal the inside story in his mouth, and it seemed that he was relaying Wang Xinxin's words as it was.

"King Lu was famous for his land and money in Shandong, and sometimes he acted without scruples in order to annex land! According to the character of King Lu, he will not let go, so it is inevitable to have a conflict with the political envoy! ”

Wang Dalun was depressed, damn, forget it if you don't have money, and you will pop up a shameless clan. What could it be worse than that?

Yes, Wang Erzhu immediately said something that made Wang Dalun even more depressed: "Shandong Confucius Mansion, Yan Shenggong, although he is a descendant of Confucius, it stands to reason that he should become an admirable person, but what the current Confucius Mansion does is cold-hearted, bullying men and women, annexing land, and becoming a country of its own, not even buying the accounts of the imperial court." ”

"This has nothing to do with my father-in-law, does it?" Wang Dalun asked, although he saw on the Internet in his later life that the people in the Confucian Mansion were all traitors, and they belonged to the model of having milk and being a mother, but this is similar to the choice of other families, and there should not be much conflict.

"It's a big deal!" Wang Erzhu let out a cold smile as he learned from Wang Zhixin, and explained lightly: "The people of Confucius Mansion do not need to pay taxes or serve in the military, it can be said that they are a country of their own, the entire ground of Qufu is the land of Confucius, and the people are also people of Confucius, and now that various places have suffered military disasters, do you think he will let go of this good opportunity?" ”

"Any change of dynasty, no matter who is the emperor, the Confucian Mansion has not been affected, after nearly a thousand years of development, it can be said that the entire Shandong ground, it can be said that I don't know who the Emperor of Lu Dao is, but they all know who the suzerain of the Confucian Mansion is, so if you don't deal with the relationship with the Confucian Mansion, this official will not be long!"

Wang Dalun was speechless, it turned out that the Confucian Mansion was a stronger existence than King Lu, it was really evil, but it was also, as long as Confucianism was in one day, the Confucian Mansion could exist for one day, and people were naturally under the protection of morality.

"The above two, if you can communicate well and turn a blind eye, there shouldn't be much of a problem, but if the following problem is not solved well, it can be said that there is no place to die!" Wang Erzhu began to talk about the problems that made Wang Dalun even more depressed.

"Shandong salt tax, one of the main revenues of the imperial court, but this year to the flood of private salt, the salt tax is not as good as a year, now the imperial court is in urgent need of money, if it can't be collected, the imperial court will not give up, but want to govern the salt policy, but the relationship is complicated!"

"Not only the officials of all sizes in Shandong have interests in it, but even the people of King Lu and Confucius have interests in it, if you don't touch the salt government, you will die, and if you touch the salt government, you will die faster!" Wang Erzhu said very solemnly.

Wang Dalun is already numb, he is full of pessimism about the trip to Shandong of Weng and his son-in-law, saying that his old father-in-law's ideas are too much, has he offended Chongzhen? What kind of ascension is this, this is purely a pit man! (To be continued......)
