Wang Yan wanted to confirm whether Li Hanyao was alive.

Jian Fan was in Yuezhuang, he didn't dare to show his whereabouts, he only hid in the mountains behind Yuezhuang, and closely watched the movements of Yuezhuang. I would like to say that one night I also visited Yuezhuang at night. Guanqi took the officers and soldiers to Taiping Valley, and they also followed.

However, I didn't see Li Hanyao.

Guanqi leads a thousand officers and soldiers to the Jedi, and the entrance is in a valley, which is a passage like a line of sky, with towering rocky cliffs on all sides, and it is difficult to fly birds.

After the officers and soldiers entered, the Li family sealed the entrance and flooded the valley with water, covering up all traces.

Wang Yan was puzzled, was Li Hanyao manipulating all this behind his back, or was Li Hanyao really missing, causing the Li family to retaliate frantically? Later, Murong Xing's entry into the village and a series of actions by Jian Fan made the situation even more confusing.

Wang Yan was determined to find out.

He and his son lurked.

Jian Fan and others were tripped in Yuezhuang, but there were several major events in the outside of Huangshan: on the third day of the first month of September, a batch of new artillery was robbed more than ten miles away from the station on the way to the garrison of Tongbai Mountain in Jingzhou. On the fifth day of September, a batch of arms was looted at the garrison of the forbidden army in Shicun Town, Qinghua Prefecture, Huizhou.

The news caused an uproar.

Robbery means rebellion!

The local officials were all alarmed, and the prefects, prefects, and envoys of the two places, as well as the imperial history of the capital, rushed to the place where the incident occurred to investigate.

On the mountain road at the foot of Tongbai Mountain, the ruts are deep and stretch out to the riverside wharf.

Farmers and wharf workers near the official road provided information that a convoy passed by that day, and the carts were piled with sacks and seemed to be filled with grain.

Jingzhou's envoys hurriedly sent letters to the government offices on both sides of the river, strictly inspecting the passing ships at the local wharves, especially those transporting large quantities of rice and grain.

After more than half a month, nothing was found.

Such a heavy artillery was gone!

In Shicun Town, Qinghua Prefecture, Huizhou, those arms and weapons were actually stolen directly from the arms warehouse in the forbidden army station. That night, the forbidden troops stationed there were all put down, which shows that the robbers were rampant and the forbidden army was incompetent.

Jingzhou was so anxious that he didn't dare to report it to the capital, thinking that the Qincha Lord Jian Fan was in Huizhou, and reported it to him first, if it was found out, he would not be able to go directly to the emperor and be scolded.

The situation in Huizhou is different.

The current Huizhou envoy is called Duan Qiming, who was originally the superintendent of the imperial history. Seven years ago, because of Wang Zhao's dereliction of duty, Wang Heng was impeached for not governing his family strictly. Therefore, this section is very trusted by Emperor Jiaxing. A few months ago, Emperor Jiaxing promoted Yan Ji to be the governor of Huizhou, vacated this vacancy, and transferred Duan Qiming to Huizhou and put him next to Yan Ji, so as to check and balance Yan Ji and supervise Huizhou.

Jian Fan dismissed Yan Ji from his official position, and Yan Ji also removed a cadre of officials who had been promoted and trained, and Huizhou officialdom became Duan Qiming's world.

Yan Ji is good at criminal investigation and economic management.

Duan Qiming first compiled history books in the Hanlin Academy, and later served as the superintendent of the imperial history and the left deputy capital of the imperial history, the former relied on writing skills, and the latter impeached and picketed hundreds of officials, all of whom had little contact with practical practices such as criminal name economics and had little experience. When he became a probationary envoy, he felt difficult to deal with the strange litigation cases in the local area. Coupled with the fact that he didn't trust the people left behind by Yan Ji and refused to reuse them, it was even more difficult.

As soon as the major arms case came out, he panicked.

He felt that he was the eyes and ears of Emperor Jiaxing in Jiangnan, how could such a shocking case not be reported to the emperor? So, as soon as he got the news, he wrote a letter and sent an 800-mile expedited military post into the capital, and then reported it to Jian Fan.

In the capital, since Liang Xinming went to the northwest border pass, Emperor Jiaxing tried his best to suppress the royal forces, and the court situation was turbulent and panicked for a while.

Xie Yaohui, Chen Xiuwen and others were dissatisfied.

This dissatisfaction was directed at Lu Chang.

They thought it was the emperor who was bewitched by Lu Chang.

Although they are afraid of Wang Heng and Liang Xinming's power, Lu Chang is only the champion of the new career, young and unqualified; is not like Wang Heng and Liang Xinming, who have repeatedly made contributions when they first entered the career, and without the talents and means of those two, how can they be so valued by the Son of Heaven? It can be seen that Lu Chang flattered the lord.

Lu Chang faced the sharp gaze of these old ministers, and knew in his heart: without Wang Heng and Liang Xinming, he would still be suppressed.

He didn't want to be targeted.

Moreover, he also wants to show his talents and assist Emperor Jiaxing to manage the politics of the dynasty, so as to prove: he is a capable minister, and Liang Xinming is the cancer of Dajing, after removing the tumor, Dajing will be more prosperous!

On this day, the monarch and the minister went to the imperial study.

Lu Chang waited for Emperor Jiaxing to eat some refreshments and rest for a while before he said: "Your Majesty, the snake can't be without a head, as long as Wang Antai and Liang Qingyun are gone, their henchmen are not enough to trouble." Besides, these people are all capable and talented, and the emperor only needs to suppress them with a little means. When the Wang family is uprooted, and then promoted and reused, the emperor's grace will be revealed, and people will not scold the emperor for being mediocre. ”

Emperor Jiaxing thought about it after hearing it, and it was really thoughtful.

He smiled and said: "Aiqing is a Dan heart for me, for Dajing, and is really loyal and good." ”

He didn't want to think about it: Lu Chang said that these people were capable and talented, but these people were all promoted by Wang Heng and Liang Xinming. Lu Chang said a few words and was a piece of Danxin, Liang Xinming and Wang Heng became traitors instead?

Since this day, Emperor Jiaxing has deposed a number of officials. Because there was no killing, it finally did not cause major repercussions and turmoil.

In early September, Liang Xinming left Beijing for a month. On this day, the Northwest Army reported suddenly, not through the 800-mile expedited military post, but through the use of the golden eagle in the north - the army is specially used to transmit the message - sent back, it only took a few days to directly deliver to the palace, the emperor's hands, it can be seen that the military situation is important.

The military newspaper was issued by the loyal and righteous public side.

The military report said: An Guoxing invaded Dajing, and Wang Heng, the prime minister of Dajing, was threatened. Liang Xinming led 5,000 people to save his husband, defeated the enemy with a strange plan, and used fire to attack with artillery to destroy 100,000 male soldiers of Anguo, and Wang Heng Liang Xinming's bones were gone!

"Bang!"

Emperor Jiaxing knocked over the teacup, and the teacup rolled under the imperial case, which was covered with a woolen carpet, sucked the tea, and made a muffled sound.

There are no bones left!

These four words dangled in front of Emperor Jiaxing's eyes, making him dizzy, unable to see the content behind the military report, and unable to see everything in the imperial study.

At this moment, what he remembered was not Liang Xinming's various constraints and obstructions in government affairs, but some scenes in his long memory.

When he was very young, the beautiful female official wore an official uniform and went into the palace to see his mother, took him in his arms and sat down, and when he was not paying attention, he kissed him on the cheek, her eyes were shining, and she whispered "Lovely little prince". He leaned shyly into her arms, and felt that he liked it very much, the teacher that his father had chosen for him was elegant, gentle, and calm, much better than those old-fashioned old masters.
