The encirclement and suppression of the water bandits was defeated, and the navy lost troops and generals?
What a liar!
How could there be such a coincidence at such a sensitive time? Besides, Shanyue happened to be rebelling, so you sent troops to suppress the bandits... Which bandit were you suppressing?
Xiao Yu looked pale.
He knew that the Jiangnan nobles had always been arrogant and ignored the imperial court, but he didn't know that they were arrogant to this extent! Shanyue rebelled, surrounded and killed Fang Jun, and attacked the county government. You just sat back and did nothing, but you actually sent troops yourself?
Seeking death is not the way to go!
Xiao Yu's head was spinning. He never dreamed that the Jiangnan gentry had become so rotten! Do you really think that the emperor in Chang'an City was made of clay? The Xuanwu Sect even killed his own brothers and forgot about his cruel and fierce temper.
?
After calming down, Xiao Yu knew that the most important thing at the moment was to rescue Fang Jun. If Fang Jun died, Guanzhong would be shaken, and the army of the Twelve Guards would definitely move south. At that time, Jiangnan would be in turmoil, and the biggest crisis since the "Hou Jing Rebellion" would envelope the Jiangnan nobles.
Thousands of years of foundation are about to be destroyed in one day!
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and cursed loudly: "The Wang family of Langya is extremely stupid! He considers Chinese and foreign figures as the best in the world. Although the Wang family is a public minister, he only works hard to serve the emperor and has meritorious service. He is not a companion!"
The words Yuan Lang said back then have almost become the label of Langya Wang family. Anyone who is dissatisfied with him will pull out these two words and humiliate him to vent his anger!
It can be said that although the Wang family of Langya was glorious in the two Jin Dynasties and prominent in the Southern Dynasties, first Wang Dun made a rebellion, and then Wang Meng surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. They were despised by the people in the world, and the impact on the Wang family's reputation was almost devastating.
No wonder Xiao Yu was so angry and cursed such insulting words regardless of his status, but Wang Shangfang was so stupid. The Langya Wang family has long lost its former glory, and its status among the Jiangnan gentry has become lower and lower, and its reputation is shallow.
, the famous works are not prominent. If it were not for the support of Jiangnan Confucian Wang Xue'an, I am afraid that the Langya Wang family may not be included in the family of nobles.
In the past, the four major overseas Chinese surnames of "Wang Xie Yuan Xiao", the Wang family has completely declined...
It is true that Wang Shangfang's move may not have come from his heart. He was probably instigated by other nobles or secretly promised to help his family rise. But he had never thought that attacking Fang Jun would be equivalent to openly breaking up with His Majesty.
After the move, who can carry it for him? Who can afford it?
With this one incident, the fate of the Langya Wang family has been decided. The end is not far away, and they will inevitably be thrown out by the major families to appease His Majesty's anger.
This group of audacious nobles have even found a scapegoat...
Xiao Yu rubbed his temples. He was too old and tired from traveling and traveling for days. His energy was running low. He could only say: "I will visit all the noble clans with my name card and order them to use all the soldiers under their control and hurry up."
Go to Niuzhuji to rescue Fang Jun. This move is related to the survival of the Jiangnan gentry, so don’t say it was unforeseen!"
*****
In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jianping destroyed Jiankang, the capital of the Six Dynasties, and Xuanzhou around Jiankang. The status of Runzhou was subsequently improved. Among them, Runzhou was "Woyan in the Sichuan River", with land and sea, treasures gathered, and merchants.
"Bingcuo" and close to the river, it has always been an important military town.
In the official office in Jingkou City, Lu Daqiu, the governor of Runzhou, was sitting with his desk behind his back, looking out the window at the weeping willow tree in a daze. He didn't even notice that his driver Li Xianchun had entered quietly.
Li Xianchun walked briskly and went straight to the desk. When he saw Lu Daqiu, who seemed to be aware of his approach, he coughed lightly. Only then did Lu Daqiu come back to his senses, turned around and saw his confidant, frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?
"
Li Xianchun submitted the letter in his hand to the desk: "The private letter from the Prime Minister has just been delivered by fast horse from the post station. It is urgent for 800 miles!"
In ancient times, inns delivered official documents at different speeds depending on their importance, and were divided into 600-mile express, 800-mile express, etc. The 800-mile express was the highest level, and generally only battle reports would be sent.
Have this treatment.
Of course, as the prime minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling used the post station to quickly deliver letters, so this privilege was not a problem.
Lu Daqiu was slightly startled, then quickly picked up the letter with both hands, opened it and read it carefully.
After a long time, he handed the letter to Li Xianchun and said with a wry smile: "The Prime Minister is making things difficult for me!"
As a confidant and advisor, Lu Daqiu obviously attached great importance to Li Xianchun and did not avoid even Fang Xuanling's private messages.
Li Xianchun took it with both hands and looked at it ten times.
After reading the letter, Li Xianchun thought for a while and asked: "What does the Ming government care about?"
Lu Daqiu stretched out his thumb and pressed his temples, and said with a wry smile: "What's the point? This governor seems to be a pastoralist who controls military affairs, but in fact he can't leave the official office and is completely ignored. This is true for all states in the south of the Yangtze River. Within the official office of Runzhou
, except for you and me, everyone is controlled by the nobles. Even if I am willing to repay the favor of the prime minister in the past, I am unable to do anything. How easy is it to command the soldiers of the state? "
This distress is not an excuse.
In the Tang Dynasty, the highest level of local classification was "zhou", with the governor as its chief. Below the governor were Biejia, Changshi, Sima and other officials, called superior officers. They had no authority, and the court often placed idlers with high grades and generous salaries.
Officials. However, if there is a shortage of officials in the governor's office, the sergeant-general can act on behalf of the state. Under the governor, there are also Cao Shenjun, such as Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Judi, Si Bing, Si Tian, etc., who are responsible for handling all aspects of government affairs.
Military commanders. These officials are called judges and have real power.
Almost all the judges in Runzhou were controlled by the major gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Daqiu seemed to be a high-ranking official, but he could not command these local snakes with deep backgrounds. Otherwise, as soon as the Shanyue people started to rebel,
Lu Daqiu would send troops to annihilate him, not to mention that Fang Jun, the son of his benefactor and prime minister, was also in a tight siege?
Li Xianchun looked back at the door. There was no one around, and then he whispered to Lu Daqiu: "From my perspective, although it is difficult, it is also a good opportunity to break the situation!"
Lu Daqiu frowned: "Why do you see it?"
Li Xianchun explained: "The south of the Yangtze River is controlled by the major noble families, and the Ming government is controlled everywhere, and the name does not live up to its reality. This is a matter known to the world. Even His Majesty is aware of the hardships of the Ming government. The Ming government is restrained everywhere and does nothing. This is normal.
Your Majesty will not blame you for this phenomenon. On the other hand, if the Ming Dynasty can do something amidst these restrictions, it will be a situation that will amaze your Majesty and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty!"
Lu Daqiu said helplessly: "Xianchun's words are reasonable, but the dispatch of troops for rescue must be approved by Sima Lutong and Zhu Jun, the commander of the army. However, these two people are both from Jiangdong with the surname Wu. They are prominent as Jiangnan nobles and have wild ambitions."
, how can we agree?”
Seeing the sigh and helpless look on Mingfu's face, Li Xianchun also shook his head secretly. Since he came to Runzhou with all his heart and courage, he was determined to create a new situation, but he was repeatedly suppressed by the Jiangnan nobles. Now not only is his heart
Feeling dejected and cold, sinking deeper into the quagmire, blinded by a leaf, without the original high spirits, looking around!
Li Xianchun said in a low voice: "I beg your pardon to disagree with the words of the Ming Dynasty. Sometimes it's not about whether you do something, but whether you do it or not..."
Lu Daqiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized!
Yes! The states south of the Yangtze River are infiltrated and controlled by the nobles. All the princes in the court and His Majesty are well aware of this, but they are just temporarily holding back and planning the Eastern Expedition. In this case, it is natural that things cannot be done, and they are done.
That’s shocking!
However, as Li Xianchun said, whether it is done successfully or not is one thing; whether it is done or not is another matter!
Even if His Majesty has given up on the situation in Jiangnan, he would not be willing to see the ministers he sent to Jiangnan doing nothing, or even doing the same thing! Furthermore, will His Majesty give up on the situation in Jiangnan? If he really gave up, how would he send the troops?
Fang Jun goes south?
"boom!"
Lu Daqiu slapped the writing desk and said loudly: "What you say makes sense! With my provincial governor's card, I will immediately invite Sima Lutong and Zhu Jun, the commander of the army. When I arrive, I will have a look. Do these Jiangnan nobles really dare to take risks?"
Is there great injustice in the world?"
Li Xianchun took the order and came out. It was now on duty, and most of the officials in the state were working in the official offices.
In an instant, two people, both wearing official robes, walked into the hall one after the other.
The former official, who is about forty years old, has high cheekbones and bean-like eyes, and has a mean look. The latter, on the other hand, has big ears, white face and no beard, and looks like a friendly smiling Maitreya.
"I wonder if Mingfu has called us two here, what are your instructions?"
Lu Tong asked with a mean look on his face, his words were respectful, but he stood carelessly in the hall without even bowing, which was extremely rude.
Lu Daqiu did not care about this and asked with a cold face: "Did Sima Lu know that Shanyue rebelled and besieged Huatinghou, the emperor's son-in-law, and Canghaidao marching general Fang Jun in Niuzhuji?"
When Lu Tong heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
"Know a thing or two."
Of course I know, but I just turn a blind eye. What are you doing?
