Chapter 590: On the Shore of the Muddy Water

Li Xin led his army all the way to the south, and even reached Guzhen, which was close to Fengyang, but there was no trace of a large number of thieves. This made Li Xin wonder, did the thieves hide their actions in Fengyang Mansion? Soon, he rejected this idea, because the thieves are all homeless people gathered together, in fact, they are a group of rabble, isn't it inconceivable to do such a thing as hiding their whereabouts?

But if it weren't for this, he had already arrived in Guzhen, which was not far from Fengyang, and he hadn't encountered most of the thieves, could it be that the progress of the situation had deviated greatly from what he had predicted? So, hundreds of scouts were sent out to the southeast along the muddy water to find out what was really the thief. Unfortunately, it rained heavily for three days, the roads were muddy, the river was swollen, and the water level of the muddy water, which could also be waded through the shallows, rose sharply, and the scouts who had crossed south were trapped in the south of the muddy water.

For a time, Li Xin didn't even get the slightest news about what was going on south of the muddy water. Seeing that the military rations were decreasing day by day, and the morale of the Three Guards was also declining day by day in the continuous rainy days, Li Xin, who was worried, was also at a loss in the face of God. At this moment, Jixi Bingbeidao actually braved the rain day and night, sent him food and other military supplies, and also brought the latest news from the imperial court.

"The Holy Majesty decreed that the Yang Pavilion Department would be dismissed from office, and then made him guilty and meritorious service, so it was unfair, I am afraid that the hearts of the hundred officials will not be satisfied..."

He Tengjiao had no intention of accusing the pros and cons of the emperor's will, but he finally felt that there was something wrong with it. But Li Xin could guess the emperor's thoughts, Zhu Youzhen really couldn't find a more trustworthy person in the court than Yang Sichang, and he still had the last glimmer of hope for Yang Sichang.

But Li Xin knew that Yang Sichang's strategy of suppressing thieves turned out to be infeasible in the end, so the fate of this person can be imagined. The governor who fell on the thief could not be counted with one hand, and now I am afraid that there will be one more. Although the development trend of this life has deviated greatly from the history that Li Xin is familiar with, he still asserts that Yang Sichang's situation will inevitably deteriorate after Xiong Wencan's death.

There is only one point that Li Xin still doesn't understand, Yang Sichang has repeatedly reported to Zhu Youzhen about the war situation, and now he is afraid that some local officials have already lifted the lid, and he already knows it, why can he continue to tolerate Yang Sichang? Isn't Zhu Youzhen the most hated for others deceiving himself? Or will his bottom line change as the subject changes?

"He Bingxian is here, can there be news of the Three Guards?"

Whether it is the emperor or Yang Sichang, it has little direct relationship with Li Xin, only for now, the main force of the Three Guards is the top priority.

He Tengjiao was also full of doubts when he talked about the Three Guards, "The lower officials are also strange, according to the envoy of the Jingshi south, the holy decree of the transfer of troops has been issued for nearly half a month, and it is reasonable that he should have arrived in Jining Prefecture at this moment, but the fact is that there is ......no news at all."

The more he spoke, the more suspicious his expression became, and although his words were stopped, Li Xin clearly read the bad content from his eyes. In fact, this is also what Li Xin has suspected for a long time. It must be someone in the DPRK who has done something, but I don't know if Lu Jiu has gotten the news now, and if so, where has he gone now. If you don't get it...... Li Xin didn't dare to think about it anymore, now that he was alone, the target of the army of thieves was visually inspected, and these thousands of people were afraid that it would be difficult to stop them from doing anything.

On the afternoon of He Tengjiao's arrival in Guzhen, the rain that had been pouring for three days finally stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun that had not been seen for many days appeared in the sky. Li Xin took He Tengjiao to the bank of the muddy water to investigate the situation in order to determine whether the current water level could cross the river as much as possible and get in touch with Fengyang. But after arriving at the edge of the muddy water, what he saw in front of him made Li Xin's heart half cold, but when he saw that the water had long been on the shore, and a large area of reeds and grass in the low-lying area was submerged, if he didn't distinguish it carefully, there was an illusion of **.

"On the northern plains of Liji, the idle bones have been for a thousand years. The muddy water is in the east, and the notoriety will never be lost......" He Tengjiao, who was following Li Xin, was poetic, and suddenly chanted his poems. Li Xin rolled his eyelids and held back the rebuke that had already reached his lips.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Ji made Jin Xiangong kill the Gong clan, and only then did he lead the three families to divide the Jin Dynasty in the future, and Li Ji was buried on the bank of this muddy water after his death...... "Could it be that this literati is going to borrow the past to express the present?" But in my heart, I can't count the ** people around the emperor, and I can't match the number... What's more, Zhu Youzhen is still a diligent emperor, and it is strictly forbidden for the harem to interfere in politics, this kind of disaster is borrowed, I'm afraid it's out of place...

Li Xin secretly speculated, but saw He Tengjiao and said: "Although the Jin Kingdom is strong, it is still getting worse, it can be seen that the most vulnerable thing is the internal part of the country. ”

It turned out to be an allusion to the fact that there were many people in the court, and the thieves were cheapened for nothing. However, He Tengjiao was only a county order before, and it was only a little more than a month since he was promoted to the military station, and he even accused the court of negligence.

"He Bingxian said it well, Li Xin can see that the worries of the court are no longer courtiers, but now..."

Li Xin's sentence seems to the people of the time who are deeply impregnated with Confucianism, especially those who read books like He Tengjiao, it is already a great rebellion. He Tengjiao's face was surprised, although he also vaguely felt that the emperor's actions were inappropriate, but he had never been as categorical as Li Xin, most of the time he thought that it was a traitor in the court who deceived the emperor.

But there are only two people on the shore of the surging water, Li Xin and He Tengjiao, He Tengjiao felt that this person was different from the martial artist from the beginning of meeting Li Xin, and there was always something thought-provoking in his actions and thoughts. As a result, Li Xin's accusation against the emperor aroused his deep curiosity, and not only did not prevent him from continuing to say such rebellious words, but asked in a trembling voice:

"Why did the Marquis of Zhenyu say this?"

Li Xin sneered: "Where the monarch is strong, there will be two outcomes. The monarch is virtuous, and the ministers are like horses returning to their respective responsibilities, and state affairs will flourish. If they are incompetent and stubborn, the ministers will be like horses that have escaped the reins, bringing disaster to the country and the people... Therefore, if the kingdom is in turmoil, the responsibility lies with the king and not with the minister..."

What Li Xin meant was that the reason why the minister was able to do things that harmed the country and the people was because the emperor did not have the knowledge to know people and put the unsuitable people in the inappropriate positions. If the emperor could control his ministers, like skilled riders, to control the horses, how could there be infighting in the kingdom?

He Tengjiao really understood the meaning of Li Xin's words, and was shocked in his heart, forgetting that such words came from the eloquence of a martial artist, which was even more shocking. After a long time, He Tengjiao's expression was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "The meaning of the marquis, shouldn't Zhou Yanru be used today?" ”

This time it was Li Xin's turn to be surprised, He Tengjiao's thinking jumped, and it actually hit Zhou Yanru at once. However, this sentence is in one sentence and hits the nail on the head. Zhou Yanru is the prime minister again, which is definitely not the blessing of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to Zhou Yanru's own moral ability, there is also a huge force standing behind him, that is, he has made a great effort to restore the society in his activities. And Zhou Yanru's return to Beijing will make the city of Beijing, which has already been tormented by the infighting between the DPRK and China, even worse.

Li Xin finally diverted from the topic, and it was useless for them to worry about such things. It's just that he never thought that it was with his words today that He Tengjiao would make a big event that shook the world a few months later.

"He Bingxian knows the geography of Jianghuai, if Li Xin is in a hurry to cross the river south, I don't know where to break through?"

He Tengjiao raised his head and thought for a long time before he said: "The muddy water is flooding, but I am afraid that this radius of a hundred miles will not be able to be forced." He saw Li Xin's expression gloomy for a while, and added. Anyway, the main force of the Three Guards Army has not arrived, so it is better to take this opportunity to rest and resettle the many displaced people north of the muddy water in the same way..."

Li Xinyi Xingshan, "Li Xinwu is a person, and this kind of affairs to manage the people depends on Zhang Gelao..."

"The Marquis of Zhenyu is too humble, if it weren't for the resettlement of 200,000 displaced people along the way, Xuzhou Mansion would be afraid that there would be no people..." When he heard that Li Xin had resettled the victims in Jining Prefecture, his first reaction was disapproving, and he even had a faint worry.

The imperial court has always prevented the people from gathering, not to mention some chaotic people who have lost the control of Lijia, if it is really as the letter says, forty or fifty thousand people gather together at every turn, wouldn't it be the front door to drive away wolves, and the back door to invite tigers? If these homeless people get into trouble, they will be thieves...

Therefore, He Tengjiao, who was extremely uneasy, took the initiative to ask Ying and took over the work of escorting grain and grass. As a result, all the way south, in Xuzhou and other places, he was surprised to find that these people had formed a set of self-governance methods, and many of them were unheard of. After a detailed and in-depth understanding, He Tengjiao couldn't help but praise it, and thought that the person who created such a method was really a rare talent in governance.

However, when he learned that this whole set of things was from the marquis of Zhenyu, who was born as a martial artist, he was still very suspicious at first, but after today's conversation by the muddy water, he was already sure that those things must have come from this person.

At this moment, Li Xin and He Tengjiao on the riverside didn't know that somewhere on the other side of the muddy water, there were a pair of eyes staring at the other side, they had been hiding in the mountains on the south bank for several days, but the rain was sparse and rained for three days, so they had to endure in the mountains for three days.

Ahh

After a sneeze, a voice remembered indignantly.

"Big leader, why do we have to endure this drudgery, even if we don't set up an ambush here now, the officers and soldiers won't be able to come over for a while, we might as well ......"
