Fenghou

Chapter 488
It was just dawn, and there was a huge crowd in front of Beixianren Pass. Thousands of people gathered in front of the pass impatiently waiting for the switch to go north.

At this time, a group of cavalry rushed from the south. They did not expect that the people in front of them were full of people, and they stopped their horses one after another.

There were about a hundred cavalrymen, guarding an official and a dozen of them. The leading official wore a bamboo hat, white and beardless, with a thin face and a pair of triangular eyes that looked particularly cold and shrewd.

As soon as he spoke, his voice was so thin that people immediately guessed that he was an eunuch.

"What's going on in front?" He spoke very slowly, so slowly that it made people itch.

Immediately a follower rushed up to inquire, and came back after a while and said: "The supervisors are all families who go to Longyou to farm. They said that they can divide the land into a hundred acres and enjoy tax exemption for ten years!"

The eunuch raised his thin eyebrows, and said dissatisfiedly: "The government has never promised, what is the division of a hundred acres of land, tax exemption for ten years, who dares to make decisions without authorization?"

None of the attendants said anything, the eunuch snorted, and said coldly: "I don't say anything, I know, Chen Qing must have done it, no wonder the Sichuan-Shaanxi Peace Corps said he was the King of Longyou, it really looks a bit like it."

At this time, the gate of Guancheng slowly opened, and someone shouted at the gate: "Everyone follow me, don't get separated, let's go directly north, not taking the Longzhou Road."

An attendant whispered to the eunuch: "Going directly north is the territory of the Qiang people. I heard it is very dangerous!"

The eunuch said coldly: "These small people are not afraid, but we are still afraid when we have an army."

He immediately ordered: "Follow the brigade!"

This eunuch is called Wang Mi, who was previously promoted by Fujian Road Salt Affairs, and this time he was appointed as the capital supervisor of Xihe Road.

It was very common for eunuchs to serve as military supervisors in the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were very few eunuchs as military supervisors. Most of them were mine supervisors, salt supervisors, or some government-run weaving, military lifting, etc.

The emperor Zhao Gou even issued a decree to put an end to eunuchs serving as military supervisors, "The servants in the imperial edict are not allowed to meet with the commander of the army, and those who violate it will be suspended as officials and clerks!" '

But this time Wang Mian was appointed as the governor of Xihe Road, which was the result of Empress Dowager Wei's persuasion to the emperor. Zhao Gou originally appointed a civil servant to be in charge of the government affairs of Xihe Road and supervise Chen Qing at the same time.

But Empress Dowager Wei valued eunuchs to supervise the army, so she could intervene. Under her repeated persuasion, Zhao Gou changed the appointment of civil servants and appointed an eunuch as the governor of Xihe Road as an exception.

A large group of people rushed out of the city gate, Wang Mi urged the horses, and followed the people to the outside of the city.

Chen Qing's son is four months old. He has a thick head and a thick head, with big black eyes looking around all day long. He is full of curiosity about everything in this world.

"Little guy, bit your finger again!"

Lu Xiu smiled and took out her son's hand from the small mouth, and the little guy grinned and began to cry.

"Ma'am, he is hungry, give me the child!"

Lu Xiu handed her son to the wet nurse, who opened her clothes and began to breastfeed the baby. The little guy immediately calmed down, and the wet nurse gently coaxed him and carried him back to the house.

Next to her, Li Mei stared at the series of arrangements without blinking. She was also six months pregnant, so she was naturally very interested in breastfeeding her child.

"The little guy can really eat! I remember you just fed him not long ago."

"It's all like this. I don't have enough milk. Fortunately, I have a wet nurse to help."

Lu Xiu accompanied his sister-in-law Li Mei to walk slowly in the corridor, and asked in surprise: "What did you just say, Jiang Zhizhou will be suspended?"

Li Mei sighed, "Isn't that the new overseer doing something wrong? He said that Jiang Zhizhou was an official of the puppet Qi. Without the consent of the court and the emperor, he was not qualified to be the magistrate, so he was suspended. He also said that Xihe Road The problem is serious and must be rectified thoroughly, Jiedu Shifu was also suspended by him, and Zhang Canjun was injured by his subordinates."

Lu Xiu said coldly: "Is Commander Yang tolerating his recklessness?"

"He seems to have the double gold medals of the emperor and the queen mother, so he is confident. It is said that he is the third fire of the new official. I don't know who his third fire will be directed at?"

"Needless to say, his goal must be his husband!"

In front of the guest house in Chengji County, Zheng Ping pointed his sword at a group of soldiers and said angrily: "I repeat, report to the eunuch immediately. If I want to see him, report immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."

Several soldiers had already been beaten to the ground, and a group of soldiers behind them stood in front of the gate with spears and shields in their hands, as if they were facing an enemy.

They also looked angry. The gates of the military supervisors in other places were crowded with gift-giving people. Why did they meet such ignorant people in Chengji County, who kept calling eunuchs and beating them.

At this time, a group of cavalry came rushing forward, and the leading general was Yang Yuanqing, and Yang Yuanqing was also sullen about the supervising army.He suddenly heard that Zheng Ping had brought people to the door, he was so frightened that he turned pale with fright, and hurriedly led people to stop him.

"Fatty Zheng, don't act recklessly!" Yang Yuanqing dismounted from his horse, went up to stop him and said, "Hurry up, you will cause trouble for the governor."

"I don't want to mess around, but you don't know that Jiang Zhizhou is leaving, right?"

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, "Why did Jiang Zhizhou leave?"

"This eunuch wanted to use Jiang Zhizhou's affairs to impeach Dutong. Jiang Zhizhou didn't want to implicate Dutong, so he decided to leave."

"Let's go to persuade Mr. Jiang."

"I can't persuade him, and neither can you. The only way is to let this damned eunuch reinstate Mr. Jiang."

At this time, a follower of the supervising army came to the door and said: "The supervising army has an order, if you mess around here, it will be regarded as a rebellion!"

"Bastard! If I rebel, I will kill you first!"

Zheng Ping's face was full of ferociousness, and he swung his sword to kill. Yang Yuanqing was so scared that he hugged Zheng Ping's waist tightly, "Fatty Zheng, don't mess around, calm down! Calm down!"

Seeing Zheng Ping's murderous intent, the attendants also ran back in fright.Yang Yuanqing said in a low voice: "We can't persuade Zhizhou, but we can ask his wife to come forward, and Zhizhou will definitely give this face."

Zheng Ping nodded, it would be a good idea to ask his wife to come forward.

……

There was a big problem with Jiang Yanxian's identity. Although Zhang Xiao was also an official of the puppet Qi, he was unknown before he became an official of the puppet Qi.

However, Jiang Yanxian had previously served as an official in Yingzhou, served as the Minister of the Puppet Qi Military Department, and served as the commander of the army capital.

According to the new regulations of the imperial court, he must go to Lin'an to accept the review, and a high-ranking official like him must be specially approved by the emperor before he can be reintroduced into the scope of appointment by the Ministry of Officials.

Now he is acting as the governor of Qinzhou in a grand manner, which is considered to be a serious violation of the court rules.

The military supervisor Wang Mi firmly grasped this handle, and was about to force Chen Qing to submit.

Jiang Yanxian didn't want to implicate Chen Qing, before the other party imprisoned him, leaving was his only choice.

Jiang Yan first packed the books in the room, feeling quite sad in his heart, he finally found a goal to fight for, and now he had to stop again.

I'm already in my forties, and that's what I've been doing all my life.

At this time, a gust of wind came to report, "Master, Mrs. Jiedushi is here."

Jiang Yanxian was taken aback, and rushed out to greet him.When I came to the door, I saw Lu Wei, the county magistrate, accompanied by Mrs. Lu, the Jiedu envoy.

He hastily stepped forward and bowed to salute, "See Madam for your humble position!"

Lu Xiu said lightly: "This is not a place to talk, let's talk in the lobby."

"Madam please!"

Jiang Yan first invited the wife of the Jiedu envoy, Lu Xiu and Lu Wei, into the mansion, and came to the lobby, where the three of them sat down as guests and hosts.

Lu Xiu said: "We all know that a troublesome person has come, but it is not enough to let Mr. Jiang return home!"

"My wife may not know that it is a big matter to appoint a high-ranking puppet Qi official without authorization. Once the supervising army is impeached, the imperial court is likely to dismiss Jiedu envoy."

Lu Wei smiled and said, "But from the news I got, the supervisor may not impeach him."

"I know that Wang Jianjun will not impeach, but he will definitely use this incident as an excuse for Jiedushi. If I leave, he will have no key evidence, and he will be unable to focus on it."

Lu Xiu shook her head and said: "My husband told me that he has a lot of tricks! Silver mines, iron mines, appointing officials by himself, setting taxes by himself, negotiating with Xixia on his own initiative, everything is enough to make him dismissed from office, but He doesn't care at all, Mister Jiang, if the Jiedushi was someone who was afraid of the court, he wouldn't go to mine silver mines and settle his military salary by himself."

Lu Wei also persuaded: "Wang Jianjun also asked the county government to put Jiang Zhizhou under house arrest, and I didn't pay any attention to him at all. Xihe didn't take him seriously all the way up and down the road. I just treated him politely. Why should Zhizhou do this?" care?"

Jiang Yanxian sighed, "Now that Supervisor Wang is watching me, it would be inappropriate for me to stay in Chengji County."

"That's easy. Zhizhou will go to Ganquanbao or Jichuan County first, and wait for the Jiedu envoy to come back."

Jiang Yan nodded first, then asked Lu Xiu, "Is there any news from the Jiedu envoy?"

Lu Xiu smiled and said: "I received a letter from home the day before yesterday, and he is already on his way back. If Mr. Jiang leaves, there will be no one to advise him."

"Okay! Since even my wife persuaded me, I'll go to Ganquan Castle to stay for a while."
