Chapter Eighty-Five: Boom, Boom! Fire coverage!
If the dog is disobedient, you must not keep your hand, because you don't know if the dog will turn around and devour the owner.
Tonight's Jinling City is not calm at all, I don't know how many people are staring blankly at the sky west of the city that is reflected red by the fire.
The officials of the political envoys, the criminal envoys, the Jinling Tiren Yuan, and other large and small yamen all hid in their own mansions tremblingly and did not dare to go out.
Liu Chen must be crazy!
Without the will of the palace, how dare he privately mobilize the Jinling Guard to ban the inside and outside of the city, and the Jinling City?
Crazy, absolutely insane!
This is the only reason that the dignitaries and wealthy families in Jinling City can think of.
A total of three soldiers and horses were arranged outside the water gate, not to mention Li Xun and Wenchen, even Lu Fengxian could not escape the siege of the elite soldiers of the palace when he was alive.
Liu Chen, who was in the cabin, laughed and said, "Those people in Jinling City, I'm afraid they have forgotten that this king still has an official position-Jinling is left behind!"
In the spring of the ninth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, Emperor Taizong officially moved the capital to the north, reduced Jinling to accompany the capital, and ordered his younger brother Liu Chun to stay in Jinling, and the prime minister to accompany the military and civilians, Qian Valley, and guard affairs of the capital.
Liu Chun has an elegant and easy-going personality, but he is also loyal to the country and never abuses his power for personal gain. In the twenty-first year of Zhaowu, Liu Chunxu died, and his son Liu Bo attacked the prince, and was once again ordered to stay in Jinling Mansion, becoming the second generation to stay in the capital.
When the emperor made six southern tours, all of them were stationed in the palace of King Wu, brothers, friends and brothers, and the emperor once said that King Wu was loyal and loyal, and he was the model of the clan. Give gold to approve the arrows, and the civil and military forces below the three grades can be cut first and then played. For a time, the authority of Wu Wangfu was heavy, and it was overwhelmed by the south of the Yangtze River.
However, Liu Bo advocated inaction, and except for the necessary sacrificial patrols, he did not leave the palace. Donations in disaster years and scattered grain in famine years are all in the name of the emperor, which makes the reputation of the royal family of Daxia in Jiangnan very good.
In the forty-first year of Zhaowu, Liu Bo died of illness, and the emperor cried when he heard it, and dropped out of the dynasty for three days. He ordered his eldest son Liu Chen to attack the knight, and then take charge of the power in the south of the Yangtze River, stay in Jinling, open the mansion and build teeth, and give his relatives 3,000 soldiers. Holding the golden approval order, the commander-in-chief of Jinling military and political affairs.
Liu Chen followed his father's temperament, and he has been a lord for more than ten years, and he is basically a hidden existence. In addition to holding Jin Lingwei firmly in his hands, he never interfered in other Jiangnan political affairs.
Emperor Taishang felt that this nephew was an obedient and well-behaved child, even if those officials in Jiangnan who wanted to get involved in Jinlingwei tried their best to frame Liu Chen, but the chapter was sent to the palace, but the board fell on the impeacher's ass.
Since then, the Wu Wangfu has gone through three dynasties, all of which have been trusted by successive kings.
With the passage of time, the Wu Wangfu, which implemented the policy of concealment, was slowly forgotten about the other identity of the owner of this house - to stay in Jinling, hold the golden order arrow, and take charge of Jinling's military and civilian, Qian Valley, and guard affairs.
Liu Chen picked up the chess pieces one by one and put them into the chess box.
"This man, you have to see who you are. Jiangnan has been in chaos for so many years, and if this king doesn't make a move, it doesn't mean that this king hasn't done anything. The old man was stimulated by the events of the prince back then, and he couldn't see the brother breaking the wall, and of course I had to pretend not to see it when the old fourteen and that little rabbit cub were stirring up trouble in the south of the Yangtze River."
He raised his eyes and glanced at the fire that was slowly extinguishing in the distance, and said with a smile: "But this group of people treat King Wu's Mansion as a soft persimmon, then don't blame this king for being polite!" Rongguo Mansion is good, the people of Rongguo Mansion come to make trouble, and the king will accompany him to make a big fuss. Anyway, if something happens, Jia Enhou is responsible for it, so we can make trouble with him tonight!" ….
……
How much silver Li Xun has been greedy for over the years, and how many things he has done to lose his conscience, can be seen only from the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry carried out by the Weaving Mansion and a book of accounts.
Jia Cong sat in the carriage, flipping through the extremely obscure numbers recorded, his teeth creaking.
People in troubled times are like grass mustard, but this is a rare period of stability in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country, and this is the Jiangnan known as the richest place in Great Xia!
"It's ridiculous, all the officials of Nanzhili should be killed!"
The account book in his hand is the record of those traffickers, these poor little girls, the best ones were sent to secret places for training, and the rest were either sold to brothels in Qinglou or sold cheaply.
It's been going on for ten years,
It is conceivable how many poor people like Zhen Yinglian have fallen into the clutches of the Li family.
At this time, Xue Pan never dared to disturb Jia Cong in an angry state, he felt that Brother Cong had two faces.
The Brother Cong I came into contact with before was Brother Cong who treated him as a half-brother, and the Brother Cong who would do this was a decisive Lord of a Thousand Households.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Three deafening explosions made the whole ground shake, and Jia Cong lifted the curtain and walked out of the car, standing on the wheels and looking around.
Niu Ben's face was solemn, and he whispered, "It's artillery...... Someone has used artillery in the city!"
The firearms of Daxia are widely used, that is, the head of Jinling City, which is equipped with a large general's cannon weighing thousands of catties. At this time, the sound of artillery was obviously in the city.
"Report!"
A Jinling guard captain galloped quickly, stopped ten steps in front of Jia Cong's horse, turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "The last general will meet General Jia and Niu Qianhu, and His Royal Highness King Wu invites the two of you to visit Chongwen Academy in the west of the city!"
……
Night tour of Jinling, there are no lanterns reflecting the beautiful scenery of the Heavenly Palace, but there are cannons to bombard the heavens and the earth.
Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, is muddy enough, and there is also Liu Chen, the king of Wu, who is even more muddy than him in Jinling.
Chongwen Academy has been built for forty or fifty years, and its power has been so great that it can control most of the Jiangnan Shilin, but it still can't resist the earth-shattering power of the general's cannon.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The cannon of the six-hundred-pound general of Sanzun rumbled, and one after another the cannonballs smashed the walls and gates of the Chongwen Academy, and even the rockery stone carvings in the courtyard were all turned into ruins.
At this time, Jiang Qingquan was disheveled, and was dragged in front of Liu Chen's horse, and was about to curse, but saw a half-dead person lying next to him.
"Li Xun ......"
That's right, Li Xun couldn't escape from Liu Chen's palm after all, he just disguised himself and came to the Water Gate downstream, and got the convenience of leaving the city from the hands of the captain of the Water Gate who had been wooed earlier.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the city, Liu Chen appeared in front of them with people, and hundreds of people surrounded his family for dozens of people.
I don't know why Liu Chen didn't arrest him directly, but wanted to tease him like a cat and mouse, and even let the people under him leave an opening, and drove his party to the vicinity of Chongwen Academy, and let them hide in.
When the cannon remembered, Li Xun finally figured out what Liu Chen was planning to do.
However, he no longer cares about the life or death of the white-eyed wolves in Chongwen Academy, the only thing he wants to do now is to settle his wife and wife and daughter. ….
"Li Xun, Your Highness said that as long as Chongwen Academy disappears from now on, your old mother, wife and children can change their names and surnames to live!"
Zhang Zhengju looked at Jiang Qingquan lying on the ground mockingly, and said with a smile: "Chief Jiang, let's meet again!"
Jiang Qingquan ignored him, and slowly got up to look at Liu Chen, the expressionless King of Wu.
He burst into tears and asked angrily, "Your Royal Highness King Wu, what crime have I committed in Chongwen Academy? It is necessary for His Highness to encircle and suppress with a large army."
"Harbouring criminals and plotting evil!"
Liu Chen raised his horsewhip and pointed at Li Xun who was lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Li Xun, this king's people just caught him from Chongwen Academy."
"There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, Chongwen Academy is hundreds of acres, who can guarantee that Li Xun did not run into it by himself."
Jiang Qingquan almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, he did collude with Li Xun, but the two did not have much contact on the surface, and there was no reason why Liu Chen could catch him.
But this kind of reason for not being on the table, Liu Chen can pull it out, obviously he is here to find trouble.
Jiang Qingquan couldn't see the midnight hour, which would really make the sky unacceptable and the earth ineffective.
The four gates of Jinling City were closed, and the rest of Xilin couldn't come to support in time.
The sarcasm on Liu Chen's face became more and more intense, and he said leisurely: "Yes, this king deliberately forced Li Xun to run into Chongwen Academy, and this king is going to erase Chongwen Academy from the land of Jiangnan tonight, what can you do with me?"
burst
……
Jiang Qingquan spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell straight on his back.
"Your Highness, you're still alive, but you've fainted!"
Jia Cong was stunned, Xue Pan was stunned, and even Zhang Zhengju, who was just about to add a few words of ridicule, was also stunned.
Liu Chen was only surprised for a moment, and then smiled: "When you are old, you can stay at home and come out to stir up the wind and rain, this king still thinks how capable he is. Carry it down, tie it up, and send it to the Jinling Mansion tomorrow for careful interrogation."
Zhang Zhengju stepped forward and reminded, "Father, this Jinling prefect Jia Hua seems to have colluded with Xilin. If it is handed over to Jinling Mansion, I am afraid that nothing will be tried."
Well?
Liu Chen replied strangely, "How can you be so stupid? Will Jia Hua interrogate something, and what does it have to do with this king? Does it matter if Jiang Qingquan dies or not?"
"It's really not important, what Your Highness wants is that the tumor of Chongwen Academy, which monopolizes Jinling scholars, completely disappears from the land of Jiangnan."
Jia Cong stepped forward and asked, "Then has Your Highness prepared the evidence of Jiang Qingquan and Chongwen Academy's crimes?" If necessary, Xia Guan has more or less a few boxes, which are enough to nail Jiang Qingquan and Chongwen Academy to the pillar of shame in history!"
Good guy, Lao Tzu took a lot of effort to confirm several incriminating evidence in Chongwen Academy, and you have only been in Jinling for a few days, and you have collected several boxes of incriminating evidence.
"Are there really that many?"
Jia Cong smiled and replied shyly, "Those are just petty charges, at best, they can only make Jiang Qingquan and Chongwen Academy's reputation worse than that. Seeing that Jiang Qingquan said that he wanted to add to the crime, he asked his subordinates to go to Chongwen Academy for a stroll. Your Highness will let the officials of Jinling lead the officials of Jinling to search tomorrow, and it is a good crime to hide armor!"
Liu Chen stared at the little fat man in front of him with a smile, and beckoned, "Little fat man, it's really Jia Enhou's seed, it's poisonous enough!"
