In an instant, only the laughter of Jibei Hou was heard. After laughing, Jibei Hou returned to normal when he was silent. He put on his crown and looked at Chen Zhi and asked, "Mr. Chen, what else do you have to add? Now we have any taboos, so we should be careful of omissions."
Chen Zhi thought for a moment and stepped forward: "The Marquis refused to be the fish on the chopping board of Daxu, and left a way out overseas, and he thought very much."
"If you succeed, you may have the opportunity to be a dragon. If you fail, you can also be a real fief of a marquis overseas, which is also a good thing."
"But the Marquis, the imperial envoy has one month left. We can make arrangements calmly, make the plan more detailed, and test the people in the state. "
"When the imperial envoy arrives, he will take the opportunity to capture the governor and control the city of the prefectures. There will be no one in Yingzhou who will be obstructed."
"But it's not enough. Daxu originally had few naval troops. As long as it can be found in Yingzhou, several southern states can reach 6 at any time. At that time, the marquis can traverse the south, advance or retreat."
"Those who advance are the king's cause, conquering cities and plundering land, and establishing an official system."
"Retreat can cause a thousand miles of decay, and the people's life is in vain and will ruin the overall situation of the country."
"If you want to reach your goal, you must win over and control the navy."
"Mr. Chen is really a talented person. This plan is thorough, so Chen Ping is the key." Jibei Hou laughed for a moment, and his confidence increased a few points.
"Yes, Marquis, you must pull Chen Ping onto the ship. This person will eventually have many old subordinates. We can only achieve success when we cooperate. However, the Governor is dealing with him. We only need to wait for a while and the time will be here." Chen Zhi said this, and sneered.
If Chen Ping was not willing to follow him, but the civil servants always hated the military generals and thought of ways to cut the money, Chen Ping was almost desperate.
Wei Ang listened and looked at the lake. Another gust of wind was blowing into the water with the wind, stirring up a pool of waves.
"Then wait another month!"
In a blink of an eye, it became colder in early winter. Although it was not snowing, the wind and water became colder, and a thin layer of ice formed in Houfu Lake.
The fire in the study room of the Hou Mansion was in full swing, and the Hou of Jibei sat down and listened to the report.
"Mr. Marquis, this morning, Governor Gong Yun has imprisoned the guerrilla general Wang Jugui for the crime of corruption, but he is also eyeing Chen Ping. According to the information, he is going to attack Chen Ping. Now Chen Ping has fewer places to go to the camp and is sick and staying at home." Chen Zhi smiled.
Hearing this, the Marquis of Jibei drank a glass of wine with a "grape" and it was cold in winter. He raised a glass of medicinal wine in the morning to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. He sighed, "It seems that God still pity me and wants to help me, haha."
The Marquis of Jibei looked rosy and smiled. He said strangely. He made up his mind and looked like he was a few years younger. He knocked on the table: "Mr. Chen, the Governor wants to deal with Chen Ping. We will use this to convince Chen Ping, but today is the day when the imperial envoy arrives. How are you preparing?"
"This month, we have secretly contacted all the people above the ninth rank in the state. Whoever is willing to follow us, who is swaying, and who firmly opposes it, is clear in our hearts."
"This must have revealed a lot of signs, but it doesn't matter if you want to cause trouble anyway."
"Once the incident is uprising, you will immediately strike with a thunderous blow and search all the deadly and hard-working elements loyal to the court to destroy the family. Only in this way can Yingzhou get it and be safe."
As soon as he said that, someone came over and said a few words in a low voice. The Marquis of Jibei sneered for a moment: "Mr. Chen, the imperial envoy is here. Is there any documents for the Governor's Office to deal with Chen Ping?"
Chen touched his chin and smiled: "I have sent a secret son who is ambushing the Governor's office to steal the Governor's copywriting against Chen Ping, but it depends on the situation, but we need to have it, now."
"The good news for the Marquis is waiting for me." Chen stood up straight, tidied up his clothes, and turned around and went out.
Chen Ping Mansion
Chen Zhizhi entered the mansion and led it into the study room by someone. The maid gave tea. Before Chen Ping came, Chen Zhizhi looked at it. There was a sword hanging in the study room, which was of great value.
After taking the tea, Chen Ping hurriedly entered, and saw Chen straight, and squeezed out to smile: "Mr. Chen is here."
Chen looked straight at Chen Ping, and saw that Bai was already covered with wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was over teenage years old and was still coughing while walking. The two maids were holding him to the main seat.
"Cough cough" Chen Ping coughed, stretched out his hand to pull the jacket on his body: "I have felt the cold in recent days, and I hope Mr. Chen will forgive me."
As he said that, the maids retreated.
Chen Ping coughed again and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chen is here, I believe the Marquis will give you some instructions if you have something to do, and you will just say it if you have something to do!"
Chen Ping's eyes were a little dazed, and Chen Zhi didn't respond to this. He only took out a note from his sleeve: "This is the report of the Governor's Office today. General Wang was killed. General Chen, look at it."
Chen Zhi handed over the diary report. Seeing that Chen Pin had taken the diary report, he said lightly: "This is General Chen."
"What?!" Chen Ping took a look, and his hands trembled as he heard this.
"I said!" Chen Zhizhi smiled: "The Governor is going to take the level of the general!"
This sentence is cold in March, making people frozen in the bones. Chen Ping trembled and stared at Chen Zhi fiercely. He was about to speak in a hoarse voice, but before he could speak, he coughed, his face suddenly turned red, he covered his mouth for a long time before he raised his head and said hoarsely: "Impossible, even though I have a minor crime, how could I kill me?"
Chen Zhi sneered and pointed at the diary and recited.
"He is good at dispatching officers and soldiers to capture the salt owls and killing three good people."
"Take military merits and promote your children, nephews and relatives."
"There are only 19 people in the Registration Team, but there are only 92 people, and they are greedy for nothing!"
"Accepted eight thousand taels of silver for the next official."
Chen Zhi thought of Wang Jugui's crime one by one, and looked at him in reverse: "Do you dare say that these crimes have not been committed?"
"Cough cough" Chen Ping's face turned pale and white, his hands tightly pinched, his eyes red, and suddenly pushed the table down: "What's the point of eating some empty noise? What's the point of being nepotist? Who doesn't do this? You are here today just want to see my joke?"
Looking straight at Chen Ping, Chen Ping's eyes were covered with bloodshot, his eyes were blue, his thick clothes were covered with thick chests.
"I'm not here to come and make a joke!" Chen Zhi stared coldly, with a cold smile on his lips: "To be completely rated, the first rank is only 605 taels a year."
"No matter whether civil officials or military officials in the world are, they will starve to death without reaching out. It is true that there is no official who will not eat or take it."
"But that's the case, you can tell the Governor, the Supervisor, and the Emperor? They are cats raised by the court, and catching a mouse is a merit."
"As long as you commit it, you can just use the national law to kill you with legitimate circumstances, and you will have a way out!" Chen Zhi smiled sinisterly and handed over another document: "Look at this, you can't live for a few days!"
Chen Ping's body trembled, suppressing the idea of ​​throwing away the document. When he opened it, he saw the governor above: "After checking it to the end, he would catch all the corruption and the scum of the court in one go. Chen Pingruo, like Wang Jugui, would set a model for Yingzhou. Why should the country be punished with the ruling of the canon?"
It has been half a year since the Governor arrived in Yingzhou. This is indeed the Governor's pen. Chen Ping looked at this and his face was blue and white. His whole body collapsed on the chair like a thorn removed. His eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were confused, and he just murmured: "No, it's impossible."
Chen stepped forward and stared at Chen Ping: "General Chen, do you feel wronged? Do you feel angry? You even feel that you have made merits and shed blood, and you still have the desire to be lucky?"
"Have you heard of the Thorns theory? The emperor wants to pull out all the heroes for the sake of the crown prince!"
As soon as these words came to a silence in the study room, Chen Ping's whole body trembled. He had heard of the thorns. He opened his mouth for a moment and wanted to speak, but only made a sound, it turned into a choking and tears flowed down. It took him a long time to say, "What should I do?"
"What should I do? Only the fish will be killed." Chen Zhi smiled grimly: "I have a place to go, and I can place your family. Will you do it?"
Chen Ping was shocked and wanted to speak. At this moment, the housekeeper's voice came, and he shouted loudly outside the study: "Master, Master, it's not good. Someone from the Governor's Mansion will ask you to see him."
"Come in and help me out." Chen Ping said that he was sick, and he was indeed a little sick. At that moment, two maids at the door hurried in and helped me out.
As soon as he went out, an official walked in with two lieutenants. The two lieutenants' swords were jingling. Chen Ping's face turned pale when he saw this.
This official is only the eighth rank. He looked at Chen Ping with disgust and did not feel pity for Chen Ping's illness. He said coldly: "This month, the Japanese pirates attacked again and harassed the coast. This is your failure to suppress the enemy. The Governor has written to ask you to suspend your post and listen to the interview and wait for review. You don't have to go to the military camp these days."
Hearing this, Chen Ping coughed for a moment. The housekeeper hurried forward with clever words and handed over the silver notes. The official relaxed a little and said, "Reflect on yourself and write a letter to apologize carefully. Maybe there is a turning point. If you resist stubbornly, there will be only a dead end."
As he said that, without hesitation, he turned around and left. Chen Ping, a fourth-rank general, was bullied by the eighth-rank civil servant. His face turned red with anger. When he saw the appearance of a deep look, Chen Ping gritted his teeth and grinned: "Fuck, I'll contact my old subordinates now."
"General Chen is indeed a hero!" Chen Zhi was so happy that he was overwhelmed, but he said: "The times create heroes, and heroes can also create momentum. However, do you still have personal soldiers who dare to kill and seize the army for you?"
Chen Ping was stunned and thought, his face turned pale, and he smiled straight: "This is the dignity of the court. If you win over it, you will be able to do all your kindness and power. Once you have been demoted, you will immediately fall apart. Then you will not even be able to pull up a personal soldier."
"But the Marquis knows your embarrassment very well and has already prepared it. Look!"
With a wave of his hand, twenty soldiers came in and saluted to him. When Chen Ping saw this, he made up his mind and did not hesitate. With a raised eyebrows, he exuded a murderous aura: "Let's go, go with me to the camp."
Seeing Chen Ping go away, Chen Zhi secretly sighed in his heart that anyone who understands the system and politics knows that life and death are actually decided by these twenty personal soldiers.
It was precisely because of this that the Marquis of Jibei refused to retreat. As long as he retreated and received the order, within a few months, the money fell and scattered, and even ten personal soldiers could not afford to take up.
