Chapter 14: Resistance

"Even if the imperial court really wants to investigate, it will be difficult to find out the stolen money from our house."

"Can that label us as corrupt?"

"Besides, no matter what they ask, you and I refuse to admit it."

"Even if it's Lu Delin, what can he do to me?"

"When the limelight is over, let's pay homage to the lord in the palace, and ask him to speak well in front of His Majesty, and the matter will be over!"

While Xu Chao comforted Liu Junji, he also had a climax.

couldn't help but say again: "Besides, you and I are important generals of the Xuan Mansion, can the court leave us?" ”

"If Your Majesty abandons you and me, who else do you expect to resist Jiannu?"

Liu Junji's heart slowed down when he heard this, and he still said nervously: "I hope it's okay." ”

Now the situation has reached the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger.

It was beyond Xu Chao and Liu Junji's expectations.

The main thing is that Jin Wuwei is here today.

Otherwise, with Di Changgong's Pacification Division, they wouldn't have taken a straight look at it at all.

But if you think about it, it's hard to deal with.

Xu Chao was the governor.

It was Emperor Chongzhen who was appointed to Xuanfu when he was in the court.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, since the incident in Tumubao.

The form has changed dramatically.

In the past, it was a military general.

The right to speak is in their hands.

Otherwise, they will not say that they will go out of the army.

Now it's the civilian government.

The idea of the imperial court is also to use literature to suppress the military.

After all, no matter how dangerous the civil officials are, can there be military generals?

However, since the imperial court can send people.

It's also very easy to take it down.

First of all, they were the product of imperial power.

Like Xu Chao, the reason why he dared to resist the decree.

The main reason is that he is not convinced by the concubine of the country.

If Chongzhen had given the order, he would not have been so arrogant.

In addition, there is another important reason.

That is, the governor came to serve in the locality, but most of the time it was hollowed out.

Take Xu Chao as an example.

He is in Xuanfu, and the real masters are the local border army, as well as the relatively strong general soldiers.

Whereas, the governor generally has a time limit.

If nothing else, it will be transferred to another place in four years.

It is the so-called iron-clad border army, the governor of flowing water.

The soldiers below know this better than anyone else.

Therefore, people will not be of the same heart and mind as the chief at all.

It's about keeping each other's hands.

Always pretend to be righteous in front of each other.

Even if it is a traitor, the department will avoid the eyes of the commander as much as possible.

The main reason for doing this was that he was worried that Shangguan would be transferred away in the future and sue them at the emperor.

In turn, Shangguan was worried that his soldiers would sue him.

Therefore, although Xu Chao at this time looked down on Di Changgong, he never wanted things to be big.

Otherwise, the court is under pressure to give a result.

But looking at the Ming Dynasty.

Is Qiu Ba of the border army important, or is he such a civilian official important?

This does not need to be compared, it is already self-evident.

When the time comes, he, a civil official, will be dismissed from his post at least or beheaded at worst.

But Liu Junji still felt that it was not a taste in his heart.

Because he is the scoop of Xuanfu.

Now Lu Delin's Jin Wuwei went directly to Xuanfu to get people?

And that's how the 'friendship' between them was formed.

Liu Junji suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and nodded to the captain of the city gate below.

The captain of the city gate acted according to the military orders.

obediently opened the city gate, and let Lu Delin and the murderous 20,000 Jin Wuwei enter the city.

Compared with Xu Chao and Liu Junji, who were trembling.

Lu Delin was not so cautious.

With the army in hand, he has no fear.

Even if there are people with ill intentions in the nine sides, there is absolutely no one who comes out at this time.

Confronting Jin Wuwei is tantamount to rebellion.

Lu Delin saw the Qianhu Di Changgong of Jinyiwei, looked at the other party's face, and had already guessed that Xu Chao did not give Di Qianhu face, so he smiled indifferently: "Master Di, what are you doing here?" ”

Di Changgong smiled, thinking to himself, didn't you ask knowingly?

However, he also understood the meaning of Lu Delin's words.

Obviously, I want to support myself.

Di Changgong secretly rejoiced, it seems that the master of the horse is really strategizing.

If it weren't for Jin Wuwei coming today, he really wouldn't be able to resist the toast of Xuanfu.

"General Lu, the lower official has been ordered by Ma Jun to go to Wucheng to get people."

"Oh, then you can go, what are you still doing here?"

Di Changgong looked at Xu Chao and stopped talking.

At this time, where did Xu Chao dare to postpone it?

hurriedly sent the partial generals around him, and awarded Di Changgong the Tongguan Wenmu.

Di Qianhu didn't wait any longer, so he hurried to Wucheng.

What about Lu Delin?

Before he set off on this trip, Zhou Xian had already clearly explained to him.

He is protecting Di Changgong, and he must arrest the rebel generals in Wucheng!

As the saying goes, the wicked need to be sharpened by the wicked.

Xu Chao of Xuanfu is strong, and his subordinates are like clouds.

But what should he do in front of Jin Wuwei?

Still can't be obediently cleared and released?

This little episode that happened here, in fact, Zhou Xian, who was far above the court, could guess it with his eyes closed.

Because Zhou Xian's real purpose is to use Wucheng as a breakthrough to disrupt the border army pattern of Xuanfu.

So as to find an entry point and begin to rectify the border army.

The Ming Dynasty has nine sides, and the first to bear the brunt is to start with the most important Xuanfu border town.

It can also give a little color to the other border towns that raise their own respect.

It's just that Zhou Xian does things and doesn't show the dew.

Therefore, the Donglin Party on top of the temple can't understand the significance of Zhou Xian's doing this at all.

It's just that he was secretly surprised, and felt that Zhou Xian stretched out his hand to the border army.

It's a shame on yourself.

Because of the border troubles on the nine sides, even if Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was poor in his life, he could not solve it.

He Zhou Xian wants to take strong medicine?

Dream on.

Yawn!

Zhou Xian, who was far away in the palace, sneezed.

Superstitious, I don't know that guy is scolding him behind his back.

Scold it.

The harder you scold now, the worse you will cry when the time comes.

After Zhou Xian rectified the border army, the next step was to put the tax exemption policy into practice.

What do you mean?

It was to give up the land that had been hoarded in the hands of the nobles and scholars and give it to the peasants.

Because now the land of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the Donglin Party.

It is only counterproductive to be tax-free and strengthen the pockets of scholars.

But if this is to be done, it is necessary to firmly control the military power in the territory.

Otherwise, it will be attacked by those corrupt officials.

Therefore, stabilizing the nine sides is still the first step.

Consolidating the Xuanfu is the most important move in this move.

So Zhou Xian enabled Lu Delin and gave him the right to cut first and then play.

On the other side, Xu Chao and Liu Junji watched Di Changgong leave in a fit of rage.

They dare not speak out.

In front of Lu Delin, the commander of Jin Wuwei, Xu Chao and Liu Junji's faces had already broken the ice.

Instead, a respectful smile was struck.

"General Liu Bing, Jinyi Wei went to Wucheng to do business, this is your jurisdiction, according to the laws of the imperial court, how can you stay here?"
