Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 651 Bargaining
Gao Wushi didn't answer right away, but pondered for a while before asking: "Judge Cen, although you are a native official, you should also know what it is to participate in the impeachment of a superior official instead of an official or a Taoist official. Of course, in view of your What I told you is a special case of the Tusi, so it can be done specially, so I don’t care about it. What I want to ask you now is, since this happened three or four years ago, why did you wait until today? To report to Ben?"

Cen Ling said: "According to the report, when this incident happened, the lower official had no official position, and the post of the state judge was awarded by the court a few months after sending the lower official's nephew Yun Han to Guilin. But Since Guangdong and Guangxi have been in chaos in recent years, Yin Gongmao, Guo Gongying, Ling Gong Yunyi and others in the former Liangguang army have all been busy with the Yao chaos in various places. Although the lower officials are local officials, they also know the overall situation and dare not bother the court at that time."

After listening to these high-level pragmatic words, I naturally don't believe them, or I can't believe them all.It is true that there have been riots in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yao in recent years. From Yin Zhengmao, Guo Yingpin, Ling Yunyi to the current Liu Yaohui, every governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has put the elimination of Yao chaos as the main task, and even put the Japanese pirates on the back burner (here There were still attacks from time to time in Guangdong and Guangxi by Japanese pirates, but in fact their personnel were mainly pirates of the Ming Dynasty), and the biggest Yao rebellion recently was the Bazhai Rebellion, which was settled only last year.

From this point of view, the imperial court may indeed ignore the internal power disputes in Sicheng Prefecture-in fact, when the imperial court handles similar matters, it often waits for the chieftain to fight both sides before taking action... Cough, this is Not much to say.

However, despite such objective facts, Gao Yushi would not believe that what Cen Ling said was taking the overall situation into consideration.

He is a noble son of a chieftain's family, his old nest has been occupied by "traitors", the head of the family is under house arrest, and the young master has become the court's hostage as a last resort. If it weren't for the powerful wolf soldiers of the Cen family in his hands, the situation of his family would be beyond redemption It's not far away, what else will he consider about the overall situation of the court?

What kind of international jokes are you making? If you have this consciousness, you can still be a chieftain. Why don't you study hard and prepare to go to Yanjing to be a court boss!
However, Gao Yushi couldn't be sure what Cen Ling's specific thoughts were at the time. Maybe he didn't want to make his family scandal public, and planned to regain Lingyun City by himself?

But if this is the case, why did he bring the matter to himself again today?

Of course, doubts are suspicions, and compliments that don’t cost money can be thrown away casually. Gao Yushi naturally sent a few high hats over without reddening, and then said: "Can you come and report the situation like Ben, Ben presses I appreciate it, but for such a big matter, I can't just listen to your side of the story, it must be investigated thoroughly before it can be dealt with."

"Don't worry, I understand the truth of this." After Cen Ling finished speaking, he hesitated to speak.

Gao Wushi saw it, and he didn't mind acting with him, so he said, "Judge Cen is still worried, so why not tell him together, it's up to you to decide."

Sure enough, this was what Cen Ling was waiting for, and immediately said with a look of Hao Ran: "It is unfortunate for the Cen family to have such a rebellion. Execution is already in sight... But if this matter spreads out, it will be a trivial matter for the lower officials to be dishonored. I am afraid that in the future, my brother will lose prestige because of this, so that the people under the rule will be unstable, and it will damage the peace of Guangxi. What a big deal."

Oh, Cen Ling wanted me to keep it a secret for him... It seems that he is loyal to Cen Shaoxun, and under this situation, he didn't want to use my hand to destroy Huang Ma and at the same time give his big brother Cen Shaoxun a favor. Unnatural death.

You know, if Cen Shaoxun also dies while Huang Ma is being dealt with, then the court will either let him take over as Tu Zhizhou, or let Cen Yunhan go back to attack his post, but even if Cen Yunhan goes back to attack his post, because he is too young, he will not He must be assisted by his uncle—to say that he is an assistant, which is equivalent to a "regent".

Of course, it is not impossible for the imperial court to directly reform the land and return it to the brigade, or get a buffalo official to "assist" Cen Yunhan.But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is very small, because the imperial court also needs to pay for merit.For the imperial court, his behavior is to maintain orthodoxy, and even has a sense of survival. This is very important. As long as the imperial court does not have a convulsion, it is impossible to suppress such a person, because this is righteousness.

How important is righteousness to the imperial court?After the imperial court pacified Si En, it inexplicably suppressed Cen Meng and caused such a big mess in the end. This lesson is heavy enough.Therefore, if he made another mistake more serious than suppressing Cen Meng, the court would be hopelessly stupid.

However, this matter is not confidential, it is only related to the Cen family. From the standpoint of the court, there is no need to worry about whether Cen Shaoxun will lose his prestige.Even Gao Wushi felt that the loss of Cen Shaoxun's prestige was a good thing for the court.

The Cen family of Sicheng is the main family of the Cen family at present, including the Cen family of Zhen'an Prefecture, which is nominally higher than them, and they have to listen to the greetings of the Cen family of Sicheng within the family, but the "throne" of the Cen family of Sicheng itself It was just picked up, Sien and Tianzhou two originally stronger Cen family masters committed their own deaths, so they handed over to Sicheng, their prestige itself is not very enough.

If Cen Shaoxun's prestige is lost because of this incident, it will be difficult to say whether the Cen family in Sicheng can still sit firmly in the position of the Cen family's head.At that time, if the imperial court wants to deal with the Cen family, the methods will obviously increase. For example, the two simplest choices: continue to support the Cen family in Sicheng, and then Sicheng will inevitably pay the price, at least be more obedient; If there is one branch in Zhen'an Mansion, then the Cen family may suffer civil strife for a while, and its strength will inevitably decline, which is beneficial to the imperial court's control.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Gao Wushi feels that there is no need to help Cen Ling keep it a secret.

"If the imperial court sends troops to help put Sicheng in order, how can such a big matter be kept secret? Judge Cen, it's not easy to accept your statement." Gao Wushi said with a puzzled expression.

Cen Ling cursed secretly in his heart: After all, he was an observer of politics for the emperor. He is really treacherous, and he is not comparable to those stupid geese who are stupid in reading. The law is moving.

"Futai." Cen Ling said with a serious expression, "I have a piece of news in my hand, which may make Futai reconsider."

Yo, is this a price negotiation?
Gao Pragmatic is not angry but happy, I like the most business, everyone in the world knows it!
"Since Magistrate Cen is so sure, why not tell me about it." Gao Wuzhen had the initiative now, so he was naturally not in a hurry.

Young Master Cen Qi looked into Gao Yushi's eyes, and said word by word: "I have definite information about Futai's 'illness' in my hand."

He emphasized the word "disease" in his tone, and Gao Wushi knew immediately that this guy was not making threats, and he really had clues about this matter in his hand.

However, Gao Wushi is not so easy to blackmail. He obviously has to get this piece of information, but he still has to lie to Cen Ling before he is reconciled, so he smiled and said, "So it's about this... It's been found out."

Young Master Cen Qi's complexion changed, and he said in disbelief: "Have you found out?" His thoughts changed, and he thought to himself: Could it be that the girl Huang Zhiting helped him?But it's not right, let's not talk about why Huang Zhiting is so talkative, even if she is really willing to help, she doesn't know the details of this matter, how can she help?

Young Master Cen Qi was a little unwilling, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what results were found by pressing the table? For example... what kind of Yao Gu is in the table?"
