"Is that really going to happen?"

The officials gathered in Liu Bowen's mansion said one by one.

There was a flash of panic in his eyes.

That incident, once it was mentioned, I don't know how many courtiers would die in the court.

"Uncle Chengyi, Yang Xian is your student, will he speak?"

The official of the Yushitai walked out of it, looked at Liu Bowen and asked.

This is a matter of life, and there is no room for sloppiness!

"Yang Xian was sentenced to the Nine Clans, what else dare you not say?"

Liu Bowen didn't raise his head, but said loudly: "According to the temperament of the Marquis of Suning, it must be a conditional exchange, Yang Xian will definitely speak, and it is even possible to return to the court and confront us in the court." ”

Yang Xian's temperament is too familiar with Liu Bowen.

But in a trance, Liu Bowen remembered the boy back then.

In fact, Yang Xian's changes were not imposed by them.

Back then, conspiring to kill King Xiao Ming, Mr. Zhedong and Jiangnan civil officials were all difficult to come forward, so they chose Yang Xian.

Why?

Yang Xian's foundation is clean, coupled with a small official position, and the name of Liu Bowen's student.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for Yang Xian to go to see Liao Yongzhong.

And since then, Yang Xian has begun to transform and become strange to Liu Bowen.

Therefore, Liu Bowen recommended Yang Xian to Zhu Yuanzhang to go to Yangzhou as Yangzhou's parent official to govern and restore Yangzhou's vitality.

But who would have thought that in just two years, Yang Xian would govern Yangzhou in an orderly manner, and even, with the help of Yangzhou's exploits, he returned to the imperial court and was in a high position.

What's more, in terms of power, Liu Bowen is in charge of the Yushi Observatory, but the power is not as good as Yang Xian, a student.

This led to Liu Bowen being unable to suppress Yang Xian at all, and Yang Xian took advantage of the situation to dig up Liu Bowen's foundation.

Mr. Zhedong, who is related to Liu Bowen in the DPRK and China, and the civil officials in Jiangnan, who has not received Yang Xian's favor and threats?

After all, once the events of the year were involved, it would be a bloody storm, and everyone would die together.

Then why didn't you kill Yang Xian?

Eliminate this threat altogether?

Liu Bowen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Yang Xian is arrogant and domineering, but he has always been the same as his teacher, although it is not ruled out that the disguise is too good, but it is like this, so that Liu Bowen can never do it.

Besides, Yang Xian didn't prepare for both?

Then Mr. Zhedong and Jiangnan civil officials, how can anyone dare to do anything to Yang Xian?

"Aren't we going to sit here and die?"

Another official walked out, looked at Liu Bowen and said in a deep voice: "It's better to shoot directly"

"Huh."

"You go, I won't stop you."

Lu Ben, who was sitting next to Liu Bowen, looked at the official with a smile, waved his hand and said, "But if you want to die, don't take us with you." ”

What else could the official say?

It is nothing more than intercepting and killing Zhu Biao and Xiao Han.

But come to think of it, are you worthy?

Just with that little manpower in Jiangnan?

Can you compete with the three hundred hussars of the Ming Dynasty?

And so many fierce generals?

Whether it's Lan Yu, or Zhu Wenzheng, or Mu Ying, or He Wenhui, which one is not ruthless?

Besides, the children of the old Zhu family, including Zhu Biao, all learned martial arts when they were young, so even if they had Xiao Han, a rookie, they could kill back to Beijing.

At that time, Jiangnan and eastern Zhejiang will really not be able to wash it!

The direction of the world will also point directly to Jiangnan and eastern Zhejiang, and Jiangnan and eastern Zhejiang, who are not at all reasonable, are accused of rebellion.

Hehe.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed them all, it was all in vain, and the world was not only spurned, but still spurned!

That Lao Zhu only needs a holy decree to appease the world and be magnanimous, and he can gather a wave of people's hearts.

"What then?"

"Neither killing!"

"If you don't kill it, you can't kill it!"

"Dilemma, really wait for death?"

There are even more grumpy officials, who shouted loudly directly.

After all, the current problem is already very serious, Xiao Han Yangzhou and his party, as well as Zhu Biao and the two kings of Qin and Jin, then Yang Xian's matter must be paper that can't contain the fire, so the court will definitely investigate to the end and turn out all the things of the year, then they have no other way but to wait for death.

"Actually, you don't have to think about it so much."

"We don't have the authority to decide on this matter."

Liu Bowen still shook his head, the power of civil officials has always been in the court politics, and in terms of real power, they have never been involved in half of it.

In addition, Huaixi nobles are all over the court, and most of them are generals who hold military power, so even if it is eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan, the Ming Dynasty will be turned upside down, and the court can still be easily suppressed.

"Can he still kill it?"

"Don't forget, the balance of the court is what Your Majesty needs, otherwise, those officials who are sycophants, Your Majesty's first thought is just a fine, so don't worry too much."

"Moreover, this matter is not just a matter of the court, it is also a matter of the country, and even if Your Majesty wants to liquidate, you have to take into account the Huaixi nobles of the Manchu Dynasty."

"Besides, several years have passed since the murder of King Xiao Ming, and now that it is revealed, will the people of the world think that His Majesty wants to liquidate the scholars of the previous dynasty, then they will agree?"

Lu Ben, the secretary of Taichang Temple, raised his eyes again and said softly: "So, you can rest assured, according to the old man's understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely turn big things into small things and small things, after all, in terms of governing the country, it is impossible for you to rely on that group of Huaixi Wufu, so even if it is for the operation of the imperial court, Your Majesty will leave you behind, and this matter will be completely over, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Have you ever thought about that?"

"If Your Majesty can't be the master?"

"What about you?"

Liu Bowen raised his eyes and looked at Lu Bendao: "Don't forget, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be afraid of Your Majesty, and what he wants to do, Your Majesty can't stop it, not to mention, there is also a Marquis of Suning." ”

The struggle between Mr. Zhedong and Huaixi Xungui is nothing to Xiao Han, but Yang Xian's matter, Zhedong can be said to have completely offended Xiao Han, so Xiao Han didn't take the opportunity to kill them all, and Liu Bowen didn't believe it.

"All in all, it's still speculation, so don't be too reassured, this matter must always go to the court, and when the confrontation is in court, let's turn it out."

Lu Ben pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

No one can make up their minds about the murder of King Xiao Ming, after all, whether it is eastern Zhejiang or Jiangnan, life and death are in the hands of Lao Zhu, so the worst results they can think of are nothing more than these.

But most of them can't escape waiting for death.

In this matter, someone will die, someone will have to die.

After all, Yang Xian is a party member in eastern Zhejiang, and he is not a civil official in Jiangnan, so even if he is really involved, it must start from eastern Zhejiang, not Jiangnan.

This is Lu Ben's confidence, otherwise, Lu Ben would not be able to be so calm.

But Liu Bowen claimed to be a last resort, how could he not see Lu Ben's careful thinking, and a touch of mockery flashed in his heart.

For the father and son of the old Zhu family, Liu Bowen has only four words in his heart, ruthless and decisive, which is the most perfect interpretation.

And the murder of King Xiao Ming is equivalent to a provocation to the imperial court, from the beginning of the founding of the country, he has begun to provoke the imperial court, if this old Zhu can bear it, he is not Zhu Yuanzhang.

There is also the little prince Zhu Biao, who has gone from feeling that the civil official group is weak, to his current attitude towards the civil official group, it can also be seen that the current Xiao Zhu is awakening.

Besides, no matter what power it is, it cannot provoke the imperial power, and the supremacy of the imperial power must be guaranteed, so Xiao Zhu will definitely make a big move.

Immediately, Liu Bowen sighed softly again, this purge of eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan can't be avoided horizontally and vertically, and the matter starts by himself and ends by himself.

At night, the cold wind gallops.

Prince Zhu Biao, Suning Hou Xiao Han galloped in the starry night and returned to Beijing!

"Can you stand it?"

"If you can't stand it, it's not too late to enter the palace tomorrow."

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han, who was also in the carriage, and said worriedly in his eyes.

"No, advance to the palace."

"I've seen the old man and his aunt, so I'll rest in your East Palace."

"After all, tomorrow's early dynasty, I'm the highlight."

Xiao Han coughed while looking at Zhu Biao and waved his hand.

"Hmm."

Seeing this, Zhu Biao also nodded helplessly.

"By the way, did that Lu Jian recruit in vain?"

Immediately, Xiao Han thought of Lu Jianbai again, so he looked at Zhu Biao and asked.

"Hmm."

"As you think, most of the officials in Yangzhou are relatives of Jiangnan civil officials."

"Even, not only Yangzhou, the relatives of these officials are all over the south of the Yangtze River."

"Moreover, almost all of them are wine bags and rice bags, which are not of great use."

Zhu Biao's eyes immediately flashed with anger.

Lu Jianbai's confession, as well as the interrogation of Yangzhou officials, Zhu Biao's heart was even more cold.

Although Yang Xian was arrested for a short time, just a few days, the speed of replacing officials can be called fast.

Even, almost most of them are relatives of Jiangnan officials.

But recommendation is also one of the imperial court systems, so this is not the reason why Zhu Biao is angry.

The main reason is that these new officials have been in office for a few days, but they still don't know much about their own affairs.

Even the population of Yangzhou and the number of acres are vague, so how can this not make Zhu Biao angry?

"Normal."

"Yang Xian's matter involves a wide range of officials, almost all over Jiangnan."

"Therefore, the temporary replacement of officials will inevitably encounter such problems, coupled with the decentralization of power, then these Jiangnan civil officials naturally want to find some errands for their relatives."

"After all, not only can you run your own base camp, but you can also get the beauty of Jiangnan, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Xiao Han smiled indifferently at all: "Moreover, even if I am an official in Jiangnan, I will be moved, who makes Jiangnan always an important town of national finance and taxation, such a big piece of fat, who doesn't want to share?" ”

"If you want to encroach on the country's financial and tax powerhouses, you have to ask if you can answer or not!"

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth flashed with a sneer.

"The imperial examination can't be delayed any longer."

Xiao Han lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Ying Tianfu, who was flying with cold and snow, and said softly: "Otherwise, after the liquidation of these officials, the imperial court will really be unavailable in a short period of time." ”

"Then we'll have to wait."

"I have to avoid the cold winter and wait for the spring of next year."

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, and sighed again.

How can it be so easy to say, the lack of officials, but the lack from beginning to end, it is even more difficult to make up for it.

Besides, it is still the cold winter season, even if the imperial examination is held at this time, how can any student enter the imperial examination in Beijing?

"No, you don't."

"The generals in the army, that can't be used?"

Xiao Han turned his head, lowered the curtain, and then looked at Zhu Biao and said: "The imperial court is the time to employ people, since there is a shortage of officials, then transfer from the army, and first delegate the state capitals as officials, of course, you have to go through short-term training, otherwise, if you go down, your eyes will be black, and you will be overwhelmed." ”

"At least let them understand what their business is?"

"As long as they can maintain the most basic operation and survive the period when there is a shortage of officials, they will be transferred back to Beijing to study again."

"Subsequently, if you study the generals well, let them change places to govern, and as for the generals who do not learn well, they will be put back in the army to lead the troops."

Xiao Han thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "After all, there are many literate generals in the army, but most of them have very low official positions, so you might as well give them a grace, so that not only can they buy people's hearts, but the problem of the lack of court officials can also be solved, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”

"Hmm!"

"There are Huaixi disciples in the army, and there are also Daming martial arts halls to replenish blood and seek foreign conquests, which is absolutely enough."

"It's really a good idea to divide a group, find someone to train them for a short period of time, select the best candidates, and send them to the state capitals to govern."

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he nodded, but then, he frowned and said: "But, most of the generals in the army are unruly, what if they don't obey the control?" ”

"Huh?"

"Disobedient?"

"Big brother, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not a general in the army, so naturally you can't choose."

Xiao Han rolled his eyes and said.

"What do you mean, let Uncle Xu and Uncle Chang choose?"

Zhu Biao's frowning brows immediately relaxed, and then, he suddenly smiled with a realized smile: "Indeed, what kind of conduct, Uncle Xu and Uncle Chang naturally know, after all, they have led the army for so many years, how can they not know about the generals under their command." ”

"Hmm."

"After all, there are generals in the army who want to serve the imperial court."

Xiao Han nodded and said with a smile: "Moreover, most of them are from poor backgrounds, and they have been constrained by military law for many years, so naturally they can't oppress the people." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Biao nodded heavily.

"There's one more thing you have to think about."

Xiao Han patted his head lightly again, and then looked at Zhu Biao and continued: "Once Zhedong and Jiangnan are moved, the situation in the imperial court will inevitably be one-sided towards Huaixi, so the balance that the old man wants is naturally gone, and this group of nobles in Huaixi will naturally be weakened." ”

"How?"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, then looked at Xiao Han and said, "They are all generals in the army, unless they are deprived of military power, how can they be weakened?" ”

"Yes."

"Disenfranchisement."

"No troops can be transferred without a holy decree."

Xiao Han nodded undeniably and smiled.

"Among them, there are your two fathers-in-law, who have the heaviest military power."

Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule: "If you let them know that you came up with this idea, they won't kill you." ”

"My two fathers-in-law have always thought through thoroughly, and it is also a good choice to hand over the military power."

"After all, our group of uncles are not highly educated and don't read much, so if they have always held the power of the army, sooner or later they will cause trouble."

Xiao Han glanced at Zhu Biao angrily, and then thought about it again: "So, to take back the military power, you have to let the old man do it himself, and when it's over, let them go back to cultivate themselves and study more, so that the balance that the old man wants will still not be broken, and he can also give the court a big change, why not?" ”

"Hmm."

"I'll talk to the old man about it."

Zhu Biao either didn't understand the truth of this, or nodded.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Hou, Kunning Palace has arrived."

At this time, Tong Zhangshun's voice came into the carriage.

"Let's go."

Xiao Han patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, and with the support of the two Zhu Fan brothers, he slowly stepped out of the carriage and walked into the Kunning Palace.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

"See the Queen."

At this time, Xiao Han also shrunk his neck, and cautiously looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma who were in his hands.

Originally, Xiao Han still wanted to bow down, but he was supported by these two brothers, and his body was weak, so he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a little cold, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

"Hmph."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted arrogantly, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he still waved his hand at Wang Jinghong.

"Yes."

Wang Jinghong has followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and naturally knows that Lao Zhu's temper is nothing more than a seat.

After all, Lao Zhu is angry again, and Xiao Han is also his own nephew, so he has to take care of it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Xie Niangniang."

Xiao Han scratched his head in embarrassment, but his ass was not polite, and he sat directly on the chair.

"Next time, don't do this, otherwise, my aunt won't be able to spare you."

Queen Ma, who was still sitting next to Zhu Yuanzhang, walked down decisively, and then looked at Xiao Han, who was still pale, with a mouth full of reproach, but distress in her eyes.

"Well, auntie, don't worry, Fengxue won't do this next time."

Xiao Han immediately made a guarantee.

"Well, what's the matter, come directly to your uncle, you can't joke with your life"

But as soon as Xiao Han finished guaranteeing, Queen Ma began to talk endlessly.

In this regard, Xiao Han's eyes were full of wry smiles, but he nodded helplessly.

And Zhu Yuanzhang above, looking at the scene in front of him, a smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he was even more relieved in his heart.

Anyway, Xiao Han is fine, it is a happy ending.

"Boss, what's going on in Yangzhou?"

After Queen Ma thoroughly educated Xiao Han, Zhu Yuanzhang muttered: "Is it possible, is it really as we guessed, it is King Xiaoming's business?" ”

"Hmm."

"Father, Emperor Shengming."

"It's indeed King Xiaoming's business."

"But this matter is a bit complicated, please take your time."

Zhu Biao glanced at Xiao Han, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed slightly.

Since it is a state affair, naturally it cannot be sloppy!

I hope that after Zhu Yuanzhang listens to it, he won't be angry.

But this night is always a sleepless night!

Lao Zhu's roar resounded through the palace!

Frightened countless palace maids and guards, trembling!

Continue to ask for recommendation tickets, monthly passes, brothers, give me something, thank you, and the matter of adding a group, brothers, quickly join the group, let's talk about it together, the author is really playing with his life!
