"Makes sense." Hearing this, the old twelve nodded and said: "And now that it's a mess, we can't go to Qingzhou, and the imperial court may have to count on the seventh brother to quell the rebellion, after all, he still has a set of ways to lead troops to fight." ”

"Nonsense, with the sixth brother here, is it still his turn?" Old Eleven shook his head resolutely. After speaking, his face changed suddenly: "No, if it weren't for the sixth brother's clever calculation, we would have been overwhelmed by the chaos now, and the end would not be better than those prefects." ”

"Damn, Lao Qi is so ruthless!" The old twelve also changed color when he heard the words and said: "This is to borrow the hands of the rebellious people to kill us!" ”

"Okay, don't think about it, he has no grievances with the two of you, what are you doing to kill you?" Zhu Zhen raised his head from a lot of bad reports, and said angrily: "And Lao Qi can do that Qingzhou at most, and if he wants to mess up the whole of Shandong, he is not so capable." ”

"And who else?" Eleven Twelve asked incredulously.

"Knowledgeable people will come soon, just ask them." Zhu Zhen said lightly.

"Who?" The two asked curiously.

At this time, the high-speed rail reported outside the door: "Lord Wang, Hu Rang, the political envoy of Shandong, and Wu Yin, the envoy of the inspection, asked to see." ”

"Let them come directly." Zhu Zhen commanded.

"Yes." The high-speed rail went in response.

"What did the sixth brother say about them?" Eleven asked.

Zhu Zhen nodded.

"Sixth brother, how did you know that they were here?" The old twelve said with admiration on his face: "Could it really be a pinch?" ”

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhen smiled and said nothing.

~~

After a while, the high-speed rail brought in Hu Rang, the dusty political envoy of Shandong, and Wu Yin, the envoy of the inspection.

As soon as they entered the door, the two knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that they deserved death.

"The prince has reminded us that there is going to be a big mess in Shandong, but we don't care......"

"When we entered Yanzhou but saw that the market was orderly and undisturbed, we were even more ashamed. What a shame for the trust of the emperor and the people! ”

"Get up and speak." Zhu Zhen asked the two of them to move a pestle, and said calmly: "Actually, this king didn't expect the situation to become like this, but since it has happened, let's go all out to quell the chaos first." As for the responsibilities of the two, it's better to wait until the fact to talk about it, right? ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" The two of them were grateful, and knelt down for the sixth child again. They have all reached this level, how can they not hear that the prince is giving them a chance to atone for their sins?

"The prince can come to Shandong, what a blessing in misfortune!" What they said was sincere, if Zhu Zhen didn't help them block it, with Boss Zhu's temper, he would definitely send someone with a sword to cut them down.

"Alright, alright, get up and talk." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to let the two of them get up again, and continued to reassure them: "Don't panic, what about quelling the rebellion, this king still has some experience." First of all, let's talk about the situation carefully with this king. ”

"Yes." The two of them made a special trip from Jinan to report to him, the governor of Shandong, so they naturally made full preparations and hurriedly reported the latest situation in Shandong to the prince.

The result is not bad from what Zhu Zhen knows, and the situation has not deteriorated again......

After speaking, Hu Rang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Please quickly order the Shandong Metropolitan Division to mobilize all the garrisons to fight the chaos!" ”

This shows the cleverness of Boss Zhu's design, the Ming army and the people's territory are intertwined, each prefecture has a guard or even a few guards and horses stationed in the tun, and each county also has a thousand households stationed, so it is very convenient to mobilize the army to quell the chaos.

Zhu Zhen asked noncommittally: "What about peace?" Why didn't he come?"

"This ......" The two looked at each other, and Wu Yin sighed and said: "The Pingdu Governor is under the control of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, unlike us who said that we can come." ”

"What are these words? He, the commander of Shandong, when did he return to the king of Qi to control him? Zhu Zhen's face sank and said: "Do you use me, the governor of the province, who controls the civil and military affairs of the province, as an ornament?" ”

"The prince is angry." The two hurriedly got up and hugged their fists, and Wu Yin said stiffly: "Of course this is not in accordance with the rules, but His Royal Highness the King of Qi has to be like this, his arms can't reach his thighs, and Pingdu Governor is also very helpless." ”

"Yes, that year, he also wrote a special letter requesting that the Yamen of Shandong Metropolitan Division be moved out of Qingzhou, but it didn't come true." Hu Rang also continued: "Later, the King of Qi found out about this, called him into the palace, and locked him up for a whole month before he was released. ”

"After coming out, Pingdu Governor has completely lost his temper, and King Qi will do whatever he wants." Wu Yin smiled bitterly: "Actually, we are almost the same, we really can't stand it......"

"It seems that you guys are still quite afraid of the seventh child?" Zhu Zhen asked knowingly.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is the prince and the vassal king of Shandong, and we are only full of awe." Hu Rang Piri Yang Autumn Road.

"Then leave him alone for now." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and took the initiative to stop the conversation. He just wants to see how the provincial officials feel about Lao Qi...... At first glance, it was really poor.

"That's not necessary, if the prince sends a message to the governor of Pingdu, he will definitely listen." Wu Yin hurriedly persuaded.

"Yes, the Pingdu Governor can carry it clearly." Hu Rang also nodded. The purpose of the two of them here is to ask the sixth child to hurry up and put down the rebellion.

"There is no rush to send troops." Zhu Zhen still shook his head and said: "Didn't this king say, I still have experience in counterinsurgency, this counterinsurgency is the same as curing a disease, you have to look and smell first, and then find out the cause of the disease, in order to prescribe the right medicine, how can you indiscriminately prescribe the medicine of the tiger and wolf as soon as it comes up." ”

"Yes." The two understood what the prince meant. Now the common people are just making trouble, and it has not yet reached the level of rebellion, but once the troops are dispatched, the situation is likely to become out of control.

But the curious baby didn't understand, and the old twelve on the side couldn't help asking: "Is it because 'thieves come like combs, and soldiers come like grates'?" ”

"You are still 'an official like shaving'!" Zhu Zhen glanced at him: "The military discipline of my Ming army has not been corrupted to that extent. Saying that, he instructed Wu Yindao: "You explain to my twelfth brother." ”

"Yes." Wu Yin hurriedly complied, and then said to the old twelve: "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang, this is because I am a mixed military and civilian area in the Ming Dynasty, and you have me and I have you in the territory of the two sides......

"You don't have to say it so nicely," Zhu Zhen interrupted him, "How many lives have you died?" Also rubbing. ”

"Yes. The prince is right, the contradictions between the two sides are very deep. We don't know how many such cases we take on every year. Wu Yin smiled bitterly and continued:

"If this is allowed to quell the rebellion, it may indeed stir up old grievances between the two sides and create an uncontrollable situation."

"Oh, I see." The old twelve nodded suddenly.

Only then did Zhu Zhen say in a deep voice: "According to the current situation, this democratic change is like a demonstration, and it has not yet reached the level of a riot. If we can find the source, we may be able to defuse the situation before it gets worse! ”
