Yang Fan said solemnly: "If you want to rebel against the barbarians, but also within a controllable range, if you want to make them prosperous, if you want to make them subdued, how sure is Zhang Gong?" ”

Zhang Cambodia smiled slightly and said: "The old man has been in Jiannan for two years, this is the third state of the old man's assassination history, and the old man already knows the local situation very well. The barbarian is the opposite, it is as commonplace, it is a reversal when it is not five, and trivial things can also be reversed, give him a sweet date, and go back to farming and herding sheep, as it has always been. ”

Yang Fan said: "When the little nephew of Weishenme was in the capital, he didn't hear about these things? ”

Zhang Cambodia's way: "Because things have calmed down smoothly; Because, the magistrate turned the big thing into a small thing. Because, in the past, it was either because of the injustice of the decree, which was the responsibility of the imperial court. Either because there is no specific person responsible, from top to bottom, they want to calm things down. Now, do you think that state officials and local leaders are still willing to settle things for people like Huang Jingrong? ”

Yang Fan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "Zhang Gong said that they don't want to settle the matter this time, so how can we control the situation?" ”

Zhang Khan Zhizhi: "The key to the problem naturally falls on Huang Jingrong and you. If Huang Jingrong, the culprit, can be ambushed, and if you, the Qincha, can come forward in time to clean up the mess, what do you think the result will be? Those Tusi leaders are not idiots, they have never been arrogant enough to think that they are really capable of fighting against the imperial court, but they know better: if the imperial court sends troops to clean up, the money and grain are not a small amount, so when they can appease the restraints, the imperial court is not willing to use force. As long as we grasp this point and reach a balance, we will naturally be able to influence the situation......"

Yang Fan furrowed his brows, walked slowly along the pond for a while, Huo Ran zhanzhu's footsteps, and said to Zhang Khan Zhidao: "What is Zhang Gong going to do?" ”

The two of them stood by the pond for a long time.

There was a curling morning mist on the pond, and the figures of two people loomed in the morning mist.

Distant mountains, near water, rockeries, vines, small bridges, pavilions, all the scenery are shrouded in morning mist, just like a smudged danqing. As the sun shines brighter and brighter. The morning mist gradually lifted. The figures of Yang Fan and Zhang Cambodia also dispersed.

"Send two people to escort Miss Gu Yuan and her younger brother back, and hand them over to their parents in person!" Zhang Cambodia stood in the courtyard, gave a word to the steward, and then turned around and walked to the study.

There are two rows of bookshelves in the study, antique, and there are several pots of vines on the top of the bookshelves, and the tender green branches and leaves hang down. It adds a bit of interest to this quiet and elegant study.

A gray-robed monk sits cross-legged behind a few cases on which incense is burned.

The gray-clothed monk meditated cross-legged, counting the twisted beads in one hand, closing his eyes slightly, and reciting the scriptures softly.

Zhang Cambodia walked into the study and did not disturb him. Just across from him, pick up a futon and sit cross-legged.

The gray-clothed monk looked to be only in his thirties, with fair skin, light eyebrows, and a handsome face.

The gray-clothed monk recited the sutra for a while, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that Zhang Cambodia had already sat in front of him, and he was busy clasping his hands together. smiled: "Zhang Gong." ”

Zhang Cambodia smiled. said: "Yang Fan has already agreed!" ”

"Oh?"

The gray-clothed monk was overjoyed and recited the Buddha's name. said: "In this way, Huang Jingrong, the devil, must be ambushed, and the plight of Jiannan's creatures can be solved." ”

Zhang Khan Zhidao: "A few days ago, the old man had already impeached the officials placed by the governments of the border states, and he had neither the heart of An Yuan Jingkou, nor the ability to govern the localities.

Since Jinyuanfang agreed to cooperate with the old man, the old man is ready to go to the table again, impeaching Huang Jingrong for blackmailing places and indiscriminately torture. It's just that the old man is a foreign minister, and in front of the emperor, he is far less trusted than the officials of the Imperial History Stage, and he still has to contact his comrades more and impeach him together, and this matter will trouble Master Falin. ”

The gray-clothed monk hurriedly said, "I am willing to run for Zhang Gong!" ”

This monk's common surname is Chen, and he is a member of the Chen clan in Yingchuan and a descendant of the family. The reason why he became a monk was naturally a big change, so he was a staunch anti-martial artist, and his status as a monk was just a convenient condition for him to travel all over the world, and he was not a real devout Buddhist.

Otherwise, Wu Zetian firmly believed in Buddhism and wantonly raised the status of Buddhism, and as a Buddhist disciple, he had no reason to have a relationship with Zhang Khan Zhi of the Baoli faction, and deliberately conspired to deal with Wu Zetian, the great protector of Buddhism.

Nowadays, Buddhism is in vogue, and as a monk, Farin travels around state capitals, enters and exits wealthy families, and befriends officials, without attracting the slightest attention. With this identity, he can cooperate with Zhang Cambodia and contact more loyal ministers and righteous people who are interested in recovering Li Tang.

Monk Fa Lin said happily: "Zhang Gong's plan can get rid of the cool officials and protect the people, and can also attract the attention of the imperial court and strictly investigate the mediocre officials in the border states, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone." ”

Zhang Cambodia stroked his beard and smiled: "It's not all! Wang Xiaojie is advancing step by step, winning again and again, and the four towns of Anxi are about to be recovered. When the time comes, the power of our army will be great, and there will be no two for a while, and when the army returns, it will be even more intimidating to the barbarians. The barbarians rebelled today, and appeased them, and when the overall situation was settled, they had to dissipate their rebellious spirit, so that they would be more respectful to the court in the future. ”

Falin's eyes flashed, and she said happily: "This so-called, kill four birds with one stone!" ”

Zhang Cambodia's way: "After this incident, Yuan Fang is the old man's fellow boatmates." This son is a new upstart in the court, young and promising, and what is even more rare is that he is in a high position and does not forget his roots, and is the official of the country. With this son in the same boat with the old man, he will meet in the coming days, and he will recover with the picture, isn't it a right-hand man! ”

Monk Fa Lin stroked his palm and said, "Haha, in this way, it is five wins with one stone!" Zhang Gong's talent is enough to determine the world, Ansheji, and the history of a state assassination, it is really condescending, if he is the prime minister one day, he must be able to make the world peaceful! ”

Zhang Cambodia smiled and said, "The master praised it." ”

Monk Fa Lin said: "Without further ado, the poor monk will go." ”

Zhang Cambodia got up and said, "There is Master Lao!" ”

Monk Fa Lin said: "There is supreme merit in this matter, and the poor monk dares not to serve!" "Then he picked up his shoes and sprinkled them away.

Zhang Khan Zhi knew that this monk was casual, and he didn't like to be bound by vulgar etiquette, and he didn't send each other, and after he went out, he sat down after a few cases, and gently turned the incense burner, showing a smile on his face: Five wins in one fell swoop, is it really only five gains?

The imperial court's control over Yaozhou was actually weaker than that of Wangzhou.

After Yaozhou was annexed to the imperial court. The imperial court only began to set up the governor's palace here in the first year of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Since then, it has been repeatedly set up and scrapped. The local magnates wanted to be nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in essence remained fully autonomous, and the imperial court tried to meddle in Yaozhou and strengthen the imperial court's control.

It's not a territory that has been taken down by force.,It's naturally difficult to insert shili into it.。 If it has been assimilated for a long time, it may be possible that after a few generations, the influence of the imperial court will penetrate step by step. However, the imperial court acted in a hurry, and as a result, not only did it not achieve the goal of strengthening and stabilizing its control over the region, but instead caused long-term turmoil in the region.

Coupled with the fact that the region is adjacent to Nanzhao and Tubo, the Yaozhou clan has a relationship with both Nanzhao and Tubo by marriage, and Nanzhao and Tubo also have a relationship by marriage, although the Nanzhao and Yaozhou clans are closer to Li Tang. But once the imperial court tried to meddle in the affairs of Yaozhou, they would fall to the side of Tibet.

Therefore, if the imperial court tries to send troops to coerce by force, then it must be prepared not only to fight with the local tribes of Yaozhou, but also to prepare for the war between Nanzhao and Tubo, which is also the reason why the imperial court has a headache and has to tighten and loosen up, and never dares to be too tough.

But Huang Jingrong didn't know about these situations, he buried himself in reading poetry and books. After entering high school, he stayed in the capital directly. Immediately afterwards, because he hugged the right thigh, he was brought into the Yushitai by Lai Junchen. Since then, he has devoted himself to the great cause of rectifying people, and has no understanding of current political changes, especially the situation in remote border states.

He regarded people outside the capital, especially the wealthy families in these border states, as hillbillies, but he didn't know that he himself was also a canary raised in a cage. In the capital, the imperial power is above everything else, and it is the liliang that can destroy everything, so he who is the holy man is in his hands, and he thinks that when he arrives in the place, he will be even more capable of calling for wind and rain.

And he was blocked by Yang Fan in Wangzhou, he couldn't play prestige, and he didn't get enough benefits, and after arriving in Yaozhou, the mood of making a big deal became even more urgent, and the means became even more intensified.

After Huang Jingrong arrived in Yaozhou, he learned his lesson in Wangzhou and refused to ask the case step by step. When he was in Wangzhou, he also pretended to gather the Liuren, trying to find a satisfactory reason before executing the criminals, this time he rushed to Yaozhou, and the first thing he did was to gather the Liuren and kill them.

When the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion was established, some people were sent over, and when the Governor's Mansion was abolished, the exiles would no longer be assigned here, and when the Governor's Mansion was abolished, the exiles here would lose the control of the government, and they would leave the settlements designated by the imperial court and scatter everywhere in order to make a living.

This time, the number of displaced people that Huang Jingrong hurriedly arrested was very limited, there were only seven or eight families in total, and these were all displaced people who had not left the scope of Yaozhou Prefecture. Huang Jingrong was very dissatisfied with this, and felt that there were only such a few people, and it was really unconvincing to say that they were plotting rebellion.

But it will be difficult for him to arrest more people, on the one hand, the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion have been abolished again and again, and a large number of official archives have been lost, and many people now have no household registration records and cannot be found. On the other hand, many homeless people were protected by the local people.

The people here don't care if you are a prisoner exiled by the imperial court, those exiled families are all eunuch families, the children are literate and hyphenated, and they are knowledgeable and courteous, and the people here like to get married to such people, and once they become in-laws, they will naturally be protected by them.

In the Wu Zetian Dynasty, in order to ascend the throne, the officials of the previous dynasty were innumerable, and the families involved in the big families and high-ranking officials above the third rank alone amounted to thousands of families and hundreds of thousands of people, and these officials still had factions and subordinates in the local area, and there were even more officials who were implicated, and there were more people who were sent to Yaozhou.

However, some of the exiles lost the control of the government and moved away, and many of the exiles who stayed in Yaozhou were sheltered because they were married to the locals, and the government could not catch these people at all, or did not dare to arrest them, and did not want to arrest them, because the government was abolished several times, which made the prestige of the government ruined, and the local people were not afraid of them at all.

The few families killed by Huang Jingrong were still unsheltered because they did not leave Yaozhou, and they were afraid that they were the big clans of the Central Plains and did not want to marry the barbarians. Huang Jingrong had nothing to do, so he had to focus on hugging money and women, and was ready to go to other states when he was full, but who knew that this hug would make a big leak!
