There have been scenes of so many officials gathering around this post station called Shenggu Station like this today, but there are not many of them.

When the passers-by saw that the officials had also brought guards, most of them did not dare to approach, but only skimmed them with awe, and then went about their own business. Even the horses had to be tied a little farther away.

In case something is not good, and the people of the government are looking for trouble with you, how dare you resist as a common person?

Therefore, Zhang Xuan still obtained a quiet environment.

When meeting people, not to mention the politeness and etiquette at the beginning, after showing his identity and intention, Zhang Xuan did not dare to slack off, and invited people to the house to set up a table.

Because the person who came was a guest of the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen, it was similar to the feeling of the advisory group.

In the governor's yamen, there are often a few to a dozen guests, who assist the governor in handling government affairs, as for how important it is, it depends on the degree of trust the governor himself has in them.

Zhang Xuan couldn't tell what role this Yi Dunyan had in Shaanxi Governor Wang Tingxiang, but Yi Dunyan did bring a letter from the governor and the seal of the yamen, so he couldn't fake it.

"The elder of the pavilion has a life, and Zhongcheng naturally does not dare to be sloppy. Originally, he was already waiting in the city for the errand, but the errand suddenly stopped, so he went out of the city to pick him up. ”

"Is there a life for the elder of the pavilion? Yang Ge Lao? ”

"Naturally, it's Yang Ge Lao."

Zhang Xuan's official position is not high, but his knowledge is acceptable, he knows that Yang Yiqing has been in the northwest for more than ten years, and there must be a lot of people he has used.

Pressing this point first, he explained: "In this Qingyang City, I am afraid that at this moment, I will regard this Qincha as a flood beast, and before entering the city, it has already made frequent moves. I wanted to find out some of the situation before entering the city, but I didn't expect to ask Brother Atsuhiko to come out of the city to pick him up. ”

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in his eyes, since the people from the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen could come, others should also be able to come.

If you want to hide, you can't hide, since that's the case, it's better to open the door to welcome guests.

Yi Dunyan thought to himself, it was not just a flood beast, it was simply a life-threatening hook.

"Poor ......"

Zhang Xuan raised his hand, "I use the words, it's better to call it like this." ”

"No, Zhang Yushi is sent by His Majesty, and he is only a guest in the next scene, how dare he exceed the rules. It should be said that the difference is appropriate. ”

Yi Dunyan's posture was very low, and he did not despise the person in front of him because he was very young, and in addition to the identity of the Qincha, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was also a low but powerful position.

Zhang Xuan has only served as a magistrate in the past, and he has never participated in the major affairs of the imperial court, and the inertia of the past is too heavy. In this moment, I tasted power for the first time.

"Shangcha, the meaning that the elder gave to Zhongcheng is to fully cooperate with the actions of Shangcha in Ningxia. But Zhongcheng has a word that he wants to ask Zhongcheng for advice at the risk of death. ”

"Just say it."

"Good. Zhongcheng wants to know, is this time to clean up the military tun, in Ningxia, or in Shaanxi? ”

Zhang Xuan slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and he understood why Wang Tingxiang, the governor of Shaanxi, was very concerned about this problem.

If it is just to investigate Ningxia, then it is like the corruption nest case in Zhejiang and the incident that happened in Huai'an Mansion, a few people exposed problems and made Long Yan unhappy, so that the investigation is done, it is nothing more than He Jinyi.

But if you really understand it according to the meaning of cleaning up the military tun, you shouldn't just clean up Ningxia Town, there are many guards in the world, and only one town should be cleaned up, what's the point?

However, if you really clean up the entire military tun in Shaanxi, as the governor of Shaanxi, you have to be very careful.

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: "The disadvantages of the military tun have been for a long time, and Your Majesty wants to get rid of it and revitalize the world. ”

Yi Dunyan understood, and his palms trembled slightly, "In this way, the wind and rain are coming." ”

"Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. When the decree has arrived, who dares to disobey it? ”

He didn't have much confidence before. Later, I didn't know who was exposing each other in Qingyang City, and actually sent him He Jinyi, Jiang Han, Yang Ying and other private soldiers Tuntian.

In addition, with the assistance of the governor of Shaanxi, Yamen, he is naturally a little more sure.

"Brother Atsuhiko, I changed my mind, how about entering the city?"

Go in, even if he doesn't enter, others will find him.

"Yes!"

Well, now Qingyang Mansion is going to start to be lively.

……

……

Before today, Zhang Xuan had never received such courtesy.

The general soldiers of a town, plus the eunuchs guarding the town, treated him as a distinguished guest, and when he entered the city, the line had already been arranged, and there was a dinner party that day.

The military attaches from all the top to the bottom of Ningxia Town were present.

However, he, the official proclamator, had not said anything, and the gang seemed to know it all. Just this kind of subordinate, he can't see it.

The barren land in the northwest, but the line is not dilapidated, with red walls and black tiles, green trees, and in the confusion, I thought I was in the south of the Yangtze River.

Today, there is nothing else to do in Ningxia Town, it is this Qincha from Beijing.

There is a long corridor in the courtyard, and the walls are carved with flowers of different shapes, and the Ningxia officials are waiting for them.

"There's a feeling like a feast." Yi Dunyan said.

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew that he straightened his official hat, "I won't move a single chopstick." ”

The other side.

Everyone is ready.

About a dozen people accompanied Zhang Xuan into the door one after another.

After taking a seat, Jiang Han also said: "Zhang Yushi, prepare a little thin wine to show your heart." Look, is it possible to start? ”

Zhang Xuan nodded slightly, then he declined others, poured himself wine, and held it in his hand after the cup was full, "You generals don't have to drink." Sincerely, all of you. ”

A room full of martial artists, he, a civil official, has undiminished momentum, and he suddenly makes people feel a little capable.

"How?" Yang Ying also stood up, "Zhang Yushi is a Qincha, seeing Qincha is like seeing the emperor, this wine should be our respect for Zhang Yushi." ”

"No!" Zhang Xuan's attitude was very resolute, he waved his hand and said, "I have to drink this wine first today." ”

"Then ......" Yang Ying didn't want to talk anymore, looked at Jiang Han, and people also told him to sit down first.

"I am a native of Zhejiang, and I came to Ningxia for the first time in my life, and I guess the generals have never been to Zhejiang. Even if I went, I wouldn't recognize me as an unknown person. Jiang Zongbing, Yang Deputy General Bing, Zhang Xuan is the first time I have heard of the name. What does it mean? That is, I have no grievances with you. But ......"

At this point, he paused, his eyes scanning everyone at this table, "But we all know why we have this dinner today, you know why I came, and I know why you are here. It is said that martial artists are simply, so I, a civil official, do not ink. Your Majesty instructed me to clean up the pastures and military camps. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Holy Decree! ”

Zhang Xuan's words were like thunderstorms, and they exploded in the ears of these people. They were originally going to do things secretly through this method, but now they are all on the table, how to deal with this?

"But Your Majesty's generation of Ming monarchs, and more preferential treatment than previous kings to defend the country and the military generals on the border, the reason why this will is really a broken situation, and it has to be! Jiang Zongbing, the Ministry of War records that you should lead more than 50,000 soldiers, but do you really have 50,000 soldiers and horses? No, how many escapes are there? Are these soldiers young and strong soldiers? Neither do you! How many of them are old and weak? Why? Its roots are in the guard's tuntian, but the soldiers have no field to tun! The world is tired to this point, and in the long run, my Ming Dynasty will be like the previous Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties!

In the last years of Hongzhi, the Tatars committed border crimes every year, and the Ming Dynasty lost more and won less, but when Taizu Taizong was in the past, the border army galloped, but there was a time when the Mongols shook their majesty? ! His Majesty is well aware of the harm of embezzling the military camp, so he has to clean it up, and there is no personal grudge among them, but he has to do it. This is one too!

Besides, I also want to save the lives of the generals. Defending the border for the country is a loyal and courageous act. If you disobey the holy will because you are greedy for temporary gain, and you lose your future, not to mention your family, it is really not worth it. How much land is occupied, then how much land is returned, in this way, the official plays the court and explains the reason, His Majesty may praise Ningxia Town for understanding the general situation and taking the overall situation into account. If you hide the land you occupy, you just want to make a fool...... Even if you can fool me, can you still fool Your Majesty?

What's more, on the top of the main hall that day, some people were worried that His Majesty's move would cause instability in the border towns and turmoil in the world, which meant that the generals wanted to kill officials and rebel for the ten thousand acres of land in their hands! ”

At this point, Jiang Han didn't dare to sit anymore, so he quickly got up, knelt down and said: "Zhang Yu Shi Mingcha, Ningxia Town has come down from the general army, and no one has ever said such a thing or had such a thought!" ”

Yang Ying also expressed his position again and again.

What is the style of this emperor today, they all know. It's too strong.

Zhang Xuan is alone, even if there are guards, there are only a few with him. It's easy to die, but don't really want to have a good life in the future. If you provoke that emperor, he has to settle the account for you.

Zhang Xuan picked up Jiang Han and said, "General Jiang, please get up." ”

In fact, the so-called words above the hall are also nonsense from him, just to bluff these people.

"On that day, the official had already defended you in front of the Emperor. First, the Son of Heaven is cleaning up the military camp, and he doesn't want to kill anyone, as long as he cooperates with the imperial court, he will naturally be fine. Second, all the generals have been on the border for generations, and after being loyal to the martyrs, how can they do the things that people and gods are angry with? Third, the Holy Monarch came to the court, trained elite soldiers and defeated the Tartars, His Majesty has 200,000 elite soldiers and horses, how can the world be chaotic? Especially in Ningxia, which borders Gansu in the west and Shuofang in the north, it is even more impossible. Therefore, if I have the courage to lead this task, I don't believe that no matter where I enter, no one will kill officials and rebel! ”

The last words smack of a threat.

But Jiang Han and these people can only listen, people are under the banner of the emperor, which is really troublesome.

"It's the pole, it's the pole. Zhang Yushi doesn't have to worry, as a minister, resisting the decree is a capital crime, how can we not understand this? Whatever Your Majesty says, I will do it later. ”

"Good!" Zhang Xuan hasn't drunk this glass of wine yet, this time he turned to Jiang Han and finally drank it all, "Then the official will get straight to the point." ”

"Zhang Yushi, please speak."

"Please clear the land you have occupied. The governor's yamen also came today, so he handed it over to the governor's yamen for registration, and the official looked at the name and quantity, so that he could play to the Son of Heaven. ”

This is a clear request.

Many of them turned ugly.

They didn't dare to resist Qin Cha openly, but there must be some unhappiness in their hearts.

Zhang Xuan didn't say that he disagreed, but where could this matter be so easy?

When the time comes, it will be nothing more than 10,000 acres and 1,000 acres. That's it, it's a good deal.

So he kept a hand, continued to pour wine, and continued to raise his glass, "Zhang, thank you here." By the way, although His Majesty said that he would not kill people, for those who violated the yang and the yin, they accounted for one out of ten...... That will not be forgiven. ”

Clang!

The wine glass is lowered.
