Chapter 224: Great Xia Yan Burns, One Word Becomes a Prophecy
When Liu Daxia saw the visitor, he immediately looked very disdainful and said, "Who did I say?" Father-in-law Wang, what a good means! People have been demoted to Nanjing by the first emperor, and they can be reused by the new monarch so quickly! ”
Many people know that they were imprisoned back then, but they don't know another secret, that is, the person who is behind the back is actually Wang Zhi.
Fortunately, the West Factory was revoked at that time, and if he had entered the West Factory at that time, he would have already explained the crime clearly with the tools and means of the West Factory.
It's just that Wang Zhi's defeat is actually doomed. Under the collusion between their civil official group and the eunuchs in the palace, they first pushed the first emperor to be suspicious of Wang Zhi, who was transferred to Datong, and finally impeached and demoted Wang Zhi from office.
It is said that once a son of heaven and a courtier. Xinjun grew up under the tutelage of their ministers, and he had already been instilled with correct values by them, so it was definitely impossible to reuse this kind of traitor who had already been stinked by them.
Because he chose to follow his teacher to leave the Hanlin Academy and join the military department, he was not able to become Zhu Youji's teacher logically, but he had the impression that Zhu Youzhu was a very well-controlled prince.
As a result, things still went wrong, and the new monarch actually promoted Wang Zhi to the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and even arranged to come to help Liu Zhongqing Zhangmu, which is really incomprehensible.
Although he doesn't know where things went wrong, he and Wang Zhi's camp is clear, so the relationship between the two is destined to be friend and foe.
"The miscellaneous family was born to do things for the emperor, so naturally they have to work hard to express themselves! But Lord Liu, it has always been rumored that you live next to Ling Zun's tomb, and you have never left an inch all year round, why did you run back today? Aren't you afraid that Ling Zun's tomb will be lost? Wang Zhi was not ashamed of his speculative invitation, but asked with a slight mockery.
As one of the famous three gentlemen of Hongzhi in later generations, Liu Daxia actually spent a lot of effort in publicity.
Like learning the news of his father's death, he immediately chose to leave for his hometown the next day to keep his filial piety. Originally, it was a thing that all officials could not avoid, but in the end, he was only a little faster than others, and it became a deed of his own filial piety.
Liu Daxia naturally couldn't stay in the suburbs all year round, but he didn't feel embarrassed and responded: "The tomb has been arranged for people to guard it!" Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, what is wrong with the old man coming back to celebrate the festival with his family? ”
"Grandpa Wang, why don't you go home today to reunite with your family?"
"Father-in-law Wang's things are gone, didn't the eldest brother sprinkle salt on his wounds?"
"Father-in-law Wang, do you want to find one, and our brothers will be reluctant to help you sow seeds? Wowha......"
……
When Liu Daxia's four sons learned that their father had returned, they all came out of the door, and now they immediately ridiculed Wang Zhi.
Huarong Zhixian, who had just heard the news, couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth.
Although he always knew that Liu Daxia's four sons were lawless in Huarong County, he never expected that he would dare to mock Qin Cha so blatantly, it was simply lawless.
Li Wei, a thousand households in the Shenji Battalion, stepped forward angrily, but was stopped by Wang Zhi raising his hand.
Cough!
Liu Daxia coughed lightly at his four sons, and then directly issued an eviction order: "Father-in-law Wang, I'm afraid you're coming to measure my family's acres, right?" How do you want to start measuring, the old man will not stop it, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, or please go back first, the old man wants to have a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet with his family today! ”
Although he guarded the tomb in the suburbs for the sake of fame, he had been paying attention to the news from the outside world, and naturally knew that the imperial court sent Liu Zhong down to be responsible for measuring Huguang, and Wang Zhi led the Shenji Battalion to assist in the defense.
With his bad relationship with Wang Zhi, now Wang Zhi is using chicken feathers as arrows, undoubtedly wanting to target himself, so he will go to Huarong County to measure.
However, he was actually too late, in view of the fact that the Sun clan who set up obstacles was beheaded nearly a thousand men, and now for the sake of the whole family, it was decided to legalize all the hidden fields.
Although there are a lot of losses in this practice, Liu Zhong and Wang Zhi used by the imperial court are indeed ruthless people, and now they can only choose to take a step back and try to come back in the future.
Liu Daxia's four sons have always been bullying people in Huarong County, but now their faces are full of ridicule, but they are looking at this uninvited guest coldly.
"Lord Liu, whether you can eat this Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet or not is no longer up to you!" Wang Zhi held a blank paper fan in his hand and said.
Liu Daxia's eldest son immediately felt a burst of dissatisfaction in his heart, and noticed that there was a large group of people behind Wang Zhi, so he asked with a calm face: "Father-in-law Wang, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Daxia's second son likes to take a group of family tench fish and meat in the village on weekdays, when he even gives his entourage a look, and wants to let the entourage call out all the family members.
After all, the Liu family has been entrenched here since the Song Dynasty, and his father once became one of the core members of the civil official group, but his background is only stronger than the Sun family.
"Lord Liu, the miscellaneous family is not here to clear the fields, but for another matter!" Wang Zhi didn't pay attention to the others, but looked at Liu Daxia and said seriously.
Liu Daxia found that Wang Zhi, who had not seen him for many years, seemed more stable, so he said quietly: "You are not here for Qingzhang Tianmu?" Then what did you do to find the old man, the old man has no personal relationship with you! ”
"Lord Liu, did you keep Annan's archives private?" Wang Zhi met Liu Daxia's gaze and asked seriously.
Liu Daxia's chin was slightly raised, and he looked very proud: "Not bad!" In order to prevent erosion in the southwest, this official hid the Annan archives back then, so as to avoid a military disaster, isn't this matter already known to the world? ”
"Disaster of war? When the Li Dynasty tasted defeat and the soldiers were exhausted, it was the best opportunity for our Dynasty to recapture Annam! Wang Zhi looked at this smug face, and couldn't help but be angry.
"A eunuch also talks about military affairs?"
"If it weren't for Wang Zhen encouraging the Ying Sect to conquer in person, there would be a shame in the civil fort!"
"My father saved the southwest from being ruined, and such a feat could have been immortalized for generations!"
……
Liu Daxia's four sons faced Wang Zhi's accusations, and immediately stood up to support their father.
Liu Daxia knew that what happened back then had become his greatest achievement, so he waved his hand and said: "The old man doesn't want to argue with people like you who have harmed the country!" Father-in-law, if it's okay, please leave now, the old man still has to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet! ”
"Lord Liu, where did you hide Annan's archives back then?" Wang Zhi endured the anger in his heart and chose to ask with the overall situation as the priority.
Liu Daxia was about to answer, but he suddenly realized something, looked at Wang Zhi vigilantly, and said, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"You tell the miscellaneous family first, where was your Annan file back then? Or is the Annan file now available in Liu's house? Wang Zhi realized that Liu Daxia might be a demon, so he asked conditionally.
Liu Daxia is a very smart person, and immediately speculated: "If you want to check Annan's files, could it be that Xinjun wants to use troops against Annan?" ”
This......
Li Wei, a thousand households in the Shenji Battalion, has always forbearance with the overall situation, but he didn't expect Liu Daxia to guess the truth, so he turned his head to look at Wang Zhi.
After Liu Daxia saw Wang Zhi's facial reaction, when he was sure that his guess was correct, he couldn't help but accuse angrily: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, Da Ming Yan can use troops against Annan, I don't know what to say!" ”
"Your Majesty wants to use troops against the Li Dynasty, what does it have to do with you? Where are the Southwest Archives today? Wang Zhi knew that he couldn't hide his intentions, so he continued to ask for it with a gloomy face.
Liu Daxia seemed to have been stepped on by his tail, and even said accusatorily: "The imperial court really wants to use troops against Annan, this is too nonsense!" Could it be that this time it was you, the traitor, who instigated it? You are truly a scourge to the country! ”
In the end, it is to point the finger at Wang Zhi.
Liu Daxia's four sons also didn't expect the imperial court to make such a big move, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Lord Liu, the miscellaneous family came to conceal His Majesty's holy edict, and immediately hand over the southwest archives, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" Wang Zhi immediately moved out of the emperor and directly threatened the tunnel.
If it were other officials, I am afraid that they would have already explained it clearly, but Liu Daxia was a gentleman who burned Zheng He's Western archives and became famous all over the world, so he did not accept this threat.
What's more, when Wang Zhi threw out this threat, Liu Daxia thought that he could use this opportunity to win a political reputation again.
Liu Daxia saw the concern and nervousness in Wang Zhi's eyes, but he knew that the other party was extremely eager to know where the southwest archives were, so the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said, "Hehe...... The old man had already burned the southwest archives back then, and they had been burned clean! ”
"Do you know what the consequences are?" Wang Zhi's face suddenly sank, and he threatened directly.
Liu Daxia thought that he had caught Wang Zhi's weakness in response to this threat, and said without worry: "What is wrong with the old man burning the southwest archives for the people of the southwest to avoid the scourge of war?" ”
At this moment, a sigh came from the carriage next to him, and a person walked out of the curtain.
Liu Zhong also followed Wang Zhi this time, although the war in the southwest has nothing to do with Huguang, but he is the feudal official of the Ming Dynasty after all, so he naturally has to care about the whereabouts of the southwest archives.
It's just that the situation is unexpected, and now this Liu Daxia may have burned the files back then, or he may choose to continue to hide like he did back then.
Liu Zhong's status was naturally much higher than Liu Daxia, so he asked seriously: "Lord Liu, did you really burn the Southwest Archives?" ”
"You are the Governor of Huguang? Not bad! Liu Daxia looked at this junior wearing a second-grade official uniform, but he once again admitted that he was authentic.
"Someone! Liu's house will be sealed immediately, and not a single fly will be allowed to fly out! Wang Zhi's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and he immediately gave an order.
Zhang Wei, a thousand households in the Shenji Battalion, was already angry with Liu Daxia, but now he saw that he was going to use tough methods, and he even received the order: "Obey!" ”。
With this order issued, not only the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion behind them acted, but more than a hundred people ran out of the street corner, but they went straight to the other three doors.
The Liu family's mansion had connected the nearby area into an irregular square house, with a doorway on each side, and now the south gate where they were located was the main entrance.
Liu Daxia saw that Wang Zhi was even more rampant than back then, and said angrily: "Emasculation, you dare? ”
"Why don't the miscellaneous family dare?" Wang Zhi saw Liu Daxia's strong reaction, and asked very ridiculously.
If Liu Daxia can honestly hand over the southwest archives, then His Majesty may not be able to pursue this old case again. It's just that Liu Daxia is sure to burn, so things have to be redefined.
In the past, it was Liu Daxia who hid the archives of the southwest, which can be said to be to evade the use of troops in the southwest, but now he clearly declares that he has burned the important archives of the state, so the matter naturally has to be another matter.
That's right, not to mention the seizure of the Liu family now, even if it is to behead Liu Daxia, it is a matter of course, and Liu Daxia still wants to have a greater reputation.
Liu Daxia looked at Wang Zhi angrily, and said accusatory: "You are a mess!" ”
"Ahem...... Lord Liu, this is all what Your Majesty meant! If you confess honestly, then Grandpa Wang will not be able to touch you, and the governor will stop him, but what you do is ...... It's your own fault! Liu Zhong looked at this world-famous Liu Daxia, and explained lightly.
This is indeed the case, His Majesty originally wanted to solve the problem by gentle means, but Liu Daxia insisted on being iron-clad, and actually wanted to follow the example of singing against the emperor back then.
There will be a nest of bears and a nest of soldiers.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion under Wang Zhi not only guarded the four doors, but also simply and rudely nailed the doors, leaving only the main gate for easy access and search.
It's just that the results of the search are doomed to be futile, and after the team searched inside and outside Liu's house, they did not find any trace of the southwest archives.
In fact, this result is expected, after all, it is unlikely that the Annan archives will become the Liu family's collection, and it is more likely that they were burned or hidden somewhere in the capital.
In the afternoon, Huarong County Ya.
"Father-in-law Wang, I'm afraid that Annan's file will not be in Liu's house, and it will be useless to search it further!" Liu Zhong and Wang Zhi returned in vain, that is, he said his own judgment.
Wang Zhi also knew that the possibility of Liu Zhai in the southwest archives was very small, and said indignantly: "Liu Daxia definitely didn't burn it back then, and he really wanted to torture him personally just now!" ”
"Father-in-law Wang, you don't have the right to be punished now, and you have received a new appointment from the imperial court, so you should go to Guangdong as soon as possible! As for Liu Daxia's case, this official will immediately send someone to escort Liu Daxia to the Beijing Division, and this case will be handed over to the capital for trial! Liu Zhong had already introduced Wang Zhi as a friend, so he proposed a solution.
Wang Zhi knew that it was not good to kill Liu Daxia, so he nodded lightly and said, "That's all!" ”
Although it is a pity that there is no Annan file, he believes that with the current ability of the Ming Dynasty, even if there is no Annan file, it can break through the capital of Annan.
At this time, a person hurriedly came and said: "Oh no, Liu Zhai is out of the water!" ”
