Chapter 677 Talking about Cen Ling (4 more changes)
Asking Huang Zhiting to take charge of state affairs temporarily was not Gao Yushi's whim. In fact, he had already had such an idea long before he sent troops.The biggest advantage of Huang Zhiting's temporary appointment to Simingzhou's state affairs is naturally that she has the closest personal relationship with her, but the more fundamental reason is her correct understanding of the relationship between the chieftain and the court.

An overly ambitious chieftain is definitely not a highly pragmatic choice. He just needs to use the power of the chieftain to drive away tigers and chase wolves, and then achieve the effect of Mu Yingshi town in Yunnan in Annan. Therefore, a chieftain in power like Huang Zhiting who insists on avoiding serious confrontations with the court is the most in line with his expectations.

What's more, judging from Huang Zhiting's attitude today, Gao Wushi thinks that she has a good impression of him, and she should really regard him as a friend - I hope she is not self-indulgent.

However, recalling Huang Zhiting's exaggerated acting skills before, Gao Wushi feels that her performance today is really unlikely to be faked.Although there is a saying in later generations that "women are born actors", but being born does not mean genius, he does not believe that Huang Zhiting's acting skills have improved so rapidly.

It is not difficult to convince Huang Zhiting, after all, this is a good thing that is of great benefit to Huang's family, as long as she believes that she will be fine if she does so.

After convincing Huang Zhiting, Gao Wushi ordered Cen Ling to be called to talk to him about Sicheng Prefecture.

Cen Ling expected that Gao Wushi would meet him after the war to discuss getting rid of Huang Ma, but he didn't expect Gao Wushi to be so impatient. He had just settled Simingzhou and started thinking about Sicheng.

He had some doubts whether Gao Wushi planned to take this opportunity to lead troops directly to Sicheng, deal with Huang Ma's problem first, and then return to Guilin together.

However, after listening to his doubts, Gao Wuzhi made it clear that there was no such thing, because he had already planned to let the army classify.After hearing this, Cen Ling felt relieved.

In fact, Gao Wushi really considered leading the army directly to fight there, but there are two problems that cannot be solved. One is that if he does this, the promise to keep Cen Ling confidential will not be fulfilled; the other is that Guangxi's finances are too poor. The large army just spent nearly 1 taels of silver just because Gao Yushi ordered the reward just now. If they go to Sicheng again, Guangxi's finances may go bankrupt when Sicheng arrives.

In fact, this is not true. Guangxi’s finances have gone bankrupt long ago. Now not only is there a total of more than 7 taels of salary arrears over the years, but also a monthly subsidy from Guangdong to maintain it.

If Liu Yaohui hadn't allocated a batch of sea salt produced in Lianzhou from Guangdong to sell to Guangxi himself during the Bazhai Rebellion last year, the Guangxi government treasury would probably have starved to death of rats.

Gao Yushi does have money himself, and he doesn't even mind spending some money to make the current situation look better, but this kind of thing can't be done, it's taboo.

"Eating imperial food" is a matter of course, but if there is no imperial food to eat, but you eat your high patrol food instead, then who are we working for?
Relief to the refugees is a kindness, but it is a conspiracy to provide relief to the army.

Therefore, even if the army of the officers and soldiers went out for an expedition, it would be regarded as a complete success, and it could be over quickly. If they wandered around outside for a little more time, they would not be able to get rewards after returning, so they had to mutiny.

"I originally planned to take only the servants and guards of honor to accompany you to Sicheng Prefecture." Gao Wushi smiled slightly and said, "In your opinion, since Huang Ma dares to put your brother under house arrest, will she also have the guts to put me, the inspector, in the same place?" Has it been buckled?"

Cen Ling couldn't believe it, and persuaded him cautiously: "According to the platform, the officials think that you need to think twice about this matter. Huang Ma's actions are quite unreasonable, especially since he is used to domineering in Lingyun City in the past few years. , I am afraid there is not much reason left, what if..."

Gao Wushi asked: "If I want to inspect Lingyun City, will he dare to stop me?"

"This..." Cen Ling frowned slightly and thought about it, and said, "Generally speaking, none of the previous Guangxi inspections, at least within the time limit known to the lower officials, went to Lingyun City. However, Of course, the platform has the right to inspect. Although Huang Ma is bold, he should not be so rampant that he can prevent the patrol from entering the city - especially if the platform just won a bloodless victory in Siming Prefecture, Huang Ma should also be worried. Set yourself on fire."

You can simply say that Huang Ma was worried that Lao Tzu would be inflated, so he didn't take him seriously, and if he blocked him, he would send troops to attack Sicheng Prefecture in a fit of anger.

Obviously, it sounded like this guy named Huang Ma was inflated by himself...

But Gao Wushi didn't bother to point it out, he just smiled and said, "As long as he doesn't dare to stop Ben from entering the city, that's fine."

Cen Ling rolled his eyes and said in thought: "The servants under the command of the platform are indeed elite, but after all, the number is too small, only about 3000 people, even if they enter Lingyun City... Huang Ma has been operating in Lingyun City for many years. There are only [-] to [-] people, but this is already ten times the strength, and the lower officials are worried that if there is a mistake, there will be no room for relaxation."

Gao Wushi slightly raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Are the other people in Lingyun City like Huang Ma? I mean, they all have a life-threatening relationship with Huang Ma, and they are willing to give Huang Ma a favor at any time." Insert a knife?"

"That's definitely not the case." Cen Ling shook his head and said, "Huang Ma was originally just one of the Tumu in Lingyun City, but because of her strength, she was a little better. She was considered the leader of the Tumu guarding the city, but she was put under house arrest because of her audacity. My brother, the others were either stalking the mouse, or were coerced and lured by him, and finally tied up with him, but if you say that they are all of the same mind with Huang Ma, I will never believe it."

"That's it." Gao Wushi smiled: "As long as they are not completely of one mind, there are ways to think about things. Besides, I don't think Huang Ma dares to do anything out of line with Ben, because Ben and Brother Ling completely different."

Cen Ling didn't know where Gao Wushi had such confidence, but he still cooperated and said, "Please give me some guidance."

Gao Wushi said: "Brother Ling is the chieftain of Sicheng Prefecture. To a certain extent, as long as the court does not interfere, he is the king of Sicheng - that means, as long as Huang Ma controls Brother Ling, the people under Brother Ling Including you, everyone will be wary, and no one dares to act rashly.

At least, before Huang Ma made it clear that he wanted to usurp power, he would not act rashly, because no matter what, Huang Ma was always acting in the name of Brother Ling.The chieftains in western and southern Guangxi have always regarded Huang Ma as brother Ling's confidant, and this is proof. "

Gao Wushi paused for a while, showing a confident smile, and said: "Ben Zong is different. There are more than 100 censors in the imperial court, and no matter which one can replace Ben Zong at any time, even if Ben Zong falls in Lingyun City, it will be difficult for the imperial court. What's the big deal?
If Huang Ma really dares to be disrespectful to Ben, the only effect is to anger the court, then he will inevitably receive a thunderous blow from the court... Do you think he has such guts? "

"Naturally, this is the truth." Cen Ling frowned, still a little uneasy: "I'm afraid that something will happen after pressing the platform to enter the city. After all, Huang Ma is a guilty conscience. If a certain sentence or even a certain look in the platform is caught He misunderstood it, and it might lead him to take risks. The officials still feel that it is a bit dangerous to do so. Between the officials, you might as well rush to Qingyuan Mansion according to the table, and then call the heads of the chieftains in western Guangxi to visit, so as long as Huang Ma dares Go, killing him is like killing a dog, so why take such a risk to go to Lingyun City?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "As far as I know, in the past few years, whenever there is such a thing as you just said, the representative of Sicheng is you, Young Master Cen Qi. If you do the same, Huang Ma will definitely use the name of Brother Ling Letting you go to Qingyuan Mansion, wouldn't it be a waste of time for us? Besides... Forget it, let's just settle this matter."

Gao Pragmatic's "Let's Talk" is not finished. In fact, the reason is very simple. His time is very tight. Now that Huang's affairs are basically settled, Cen's issues must be resolved quickly, so that the two companies can concentrate their efforts. Contribute to his great plan.
