Dajin royal family

Chapter 167 Donglai County Mob

At night, in the study of King Zhao's Mansion.

King Zhao, Jiang Chengxiao and his son sat kneeling opposite each other, with tea on the table.Jiang Chengxiao was looking at the memorial that King Zhao gave him, and after he finished reading it, King Zhao said slowly: "How about it, what do you think?"

What was mentioned in the memorial was just told to him by Nan Jiyun during the day today. After considering his tone a little, Jiang Chengxiao said, "Why does Your Majesty force the tenants to relocate at this time? The snow disaster and the Turkic rebellion at the beginning of the year have just been put down, and now it is time for the people to recuperate and recuperate." At this time, it is not appropriate to transfer nearly 70 people at this time."

Everyone understands the truth, and the courtiers are not fools.

Zhao Wangdao: "Do you know why Your Majesty did this?"

"Your Majesty wants to take advantage of this great victory in annihilating the Turks to coerce certain people." Jiang Chengxiao said.

King Zhao glanced at him approvingly, and he was very satisfied with what he could see.He thought that Jiang Chengxiao would say "in order to enrich the population of Bingzhou", which disappointed him too much.

"Then do you think it's advisable?"

Jiang Chengxiao shook his head slowly, and said: "Too impatient, 50 people is not a small number, which is equivalent to digging the root cause. It would be nice if we could take it slowly in a few steps, some people would not agree to such a thing."

"You're right." Zhao Wang sighed, "At that time, my father also persuaded His Majesty in the same way, but His Majesty didn't accept it. I'm worried that although those people don't dare to do anything now, they will inevitably cause trouble in the future."

King Zhao has always felt that there are only two ways to deal with the nobles in Guanzhong. One is to take it slowly and not rush it.But unfortunately, that His Majesty didn't adopt any of them, and he alarmed those people.

"What I don't understand is why His Majesty wants to dig the canal at this time. This is really a waste of people's strength." Jiang Chengxiao hesitated.

Zhao Wang said slowly: "Today, I have always wanted to make some achievements. It is a good thing to dig a canal to open up the north-south trade, but it should not be done at this time."

Either you solve the Guanzhong nobles before doing it, or you temporarily stabilize the Guanzhong nobles before doing it, but it is really a big disadvantage to do both now.Jinshang is sometimes too tough, and it is difficult to listen to the advice of his courtiers when making decisions.

Jiang Chengxiao was silent, these things are not something he can intervene now.

Zhao Wang also knew this, so he said: "You just need to know these things, and you have to worry about your father. I called you here tonight because of the affairs of the six counties in Shandong. This is the most important thing."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chengxiao asked: "Father, Your Majesty appointed me the governor of the six counties in Shandong, is it for me to check the people's situation in Shandong, or to investigate Shandong officials?"

There is a big difference between the two. If he just checked the people's sentiments in Shandong, he would treat this trip as a trip at public expense.But if it is to investigate Shandong officials, this is not a good job.

King Zhao didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Do you still remember the disaster relief in Shandong earlier this year?"

"Remember, at that time, due to the rebellion of the King of Han in Shandong, food and grass were scarce everywhere, so the imperial court could only send people to help the disaster. But what is the relationship between the two? Could it be that this disaster relief is not good?" Jiang Chengxiao said.

Zhao Wang nodded and said: "It's more than a disadvantage. According to secret reports, some refugees gathered in Donglai County to rebel. Your Majesty suspects that someone secretly embezzled the money and food for disaster relief. This time you are appointed as the governor of the six counties in Shandong to solve this problem." mob. Besides, it’s also to cover people’s eyes and ears.”

"Father means that His Majesty sent his son to deal with the mob on the surface, but actually secretly investigated the disaster relief and corruption?"

"That's right." Zhao Wang said: "A group of mobs is nothing to mention, and three thousand soldiers can calm them down. Your Majesty mainly hopes that you can find out the corrupt officials and deter Shandong Xiaoxiao."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled wryly and said: "Father, Your Majesty thinks too much of his son. Let him deal with those old foxes who have been in officialdom. This son really has no confidence."

Seeing this, Zhao Wang smiled and said: "You performed very well in this Turkic battle. Your majesty told me that I want to train you well. Although my father also knows that it is difficult for you to deal with those old foxes now, but sooner or later you will Experienced these. Now, take it as getting familiar with it first.”

"Don't worry too much. According to my father's guess, His Majesty will definitely send someone to investigate secretly to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Jiang Chengxiao was slightly taken aback, he was also a bait.

"Then what should the son do when he arrives in Shandong?"

Zhao Wangdao: "It's up to you, but as a father, I can tell you the truth. The mob's affairs must be calmed down, and people must not let people know, so as not to cause the people to criticize the court. This is what His Majesty asked me to tell you, understand? ?”

So, after all, for the sake of the court's face, the emperor should not have disclosed the matter of the mob in Dongnae County. He used to solve the mob this time and investigate the corruption incident by the way.It is estimated that the father's guess is correct, the emperor will definitely send another team to investigate secretly.

"So that's the case." Jiang Chengxiao said: "I understand, this time in the past, the mob will definitely be dealt with first. As for the investigation of officials, my son can only do his best."

Zhao Wang looked at his son and said with relief: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are still young. Even if you don't complete your majesty's explanation this time, don't think too much. You still have to take care of everything for your father."

For some reason, Jiang Chengxiao suddenly felt tiredness in King Zhao's eyes.He asked in a strange way: "Is the father worried about the restlessness of the nobles in Guanzhong?"

Zhao Wang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this little guy to be able to see it, so he nodded and sighed: "I'm really worried. Sometimes the quieter you are, the less you understand what those people are preparing in private."

He laughed and said, "I have to worry about these things for my father. What you have to do now is to grow up as soon as possible. This time, His Majesty named you the champion general in the hope that you can grow up quickly, and become the pillar of the Jin Dynasty as soon as possible, so as to share your worries."

He was worried about too many things, but it was not easy to explain clearly to his son now.The only thing that can be done now is to let this kid grow up to be independent as soon as possible, otherwise if the situation develops in the most dangerous direction in the future, it will be difficult for him to even protect himself.

"Yes, my son understands."

After leaving the palace, Jiang Chengxiao rode on the street.Looking at the night sky with bright moon and few stars, he suddenly felt embarrassed.Judging from Zhao Wang's performance, although the nobles in Guanzhong bowed their heads publicly this time, they didn't know what they were preparing in private.Thinking about it, this time the emperor directly went to dig their roots, how could those people be willing to catch them without a fight.

It's just the calm before the storm.

It is a kind of sadness to think about such an emperor on the stall.It is not wrong for the emperor to want to solve the malignant tumor of the nobles in Guanzhong, but his steps are too big, which is very unstable.

"The person in front stop!"

Nan Jiyun's voice suddenly came from his ear, interrupting his train of thought.He raised his head and looked forward, only to see a staggering person rushing towards them. According to this trend, he would definitely be trampled under the horse's hooves.

Without Jiang Chengxiao's instructions, Zu Yan immediately stepped forward, drew out the horizontal knife, and slapped the man with the back of the knife. The man who was in pain curled up and rolled on the ground, cursing: "That short-sighted man, even if he eats wine, he will provoke you!" is you!"

Zu Yan raised her thick eyebrows, immediately dismounted and grabbed the man's collar, lifted him up like a chicken, and shouted: "What did you just say!" As he spoke, he raised his fist, less than a finger away from the man's cheek distance.

"I"

Seeing the fist, the man shut up wisely.

At this time, Jiang Chengxiao rode his horse to the front, Nan Jiyun took a torch light, the man's face was clear, he looked like a scholar with no strength to restrain himself.

"Who are you, dare to offend my master." Nan Jiyun said in a deep voice.

The scribe looked at the strong men around him, and suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was of extraordinary background, so he was a little drunk.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Stop!"

Immediately after, a person rushed over, but was stopped by Wu Shanhui, he had no choice but to cup his fists at Jiang Chengxiao who was on the horse, and said, "Please forgive me, my brother, too drunk, and lost his mind, so I am here to apologize to the nobleman." As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Chengxiao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard it somewhere, and he ordered: "Raise your head."

Hearing this, the person behind him lifted up, revealing an ordinary face.

"Shangguan Di?" Under the light of the torch, Jiang Chengxiao saw the man clearly.
