Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 644
It's not that Ye Xun's suspicions are serious, because he knows that in the courts of all dynasties, there are several terrifying potential forces, one of which is the forces called cronies or township parties.

These people link up because of geography or common goals, attack and exclude officials with different political views, or unite to resist the orders of their superiors.

The existence of these people is undoubtedly a headache for every person in power, but they can't be killed or destroyed.

Due to Xichang's weakness in intelligence on the northwest region, Ye Xun was very passive in handling the affairs here.

However, through the simple communication just now, Ye Xun was sure that these Northwest military officers had secretly united together to form an offensive and defensive alliance.

How to do?Do you really want to kill them all?

Ye Xun shook his head secretly. The Northwest region is an important logistics base for him to lead his troops westward in the future, and he must focus on maintaining stability, and killing people may not be the best way.

After making up his mind, Ye Xun ordered the generals to send people back to their respective guards, and bring all the officers and soldiers who stayed behind, as well as all the accounts, to Jianjun Town.

When the generals heard this, they were a little stunned. Bringing all the men and horses here is equivalent to handing over all of them, and bringing over such things as accounts is equivalent to handing over their old background.

He wanted to say no, but seeing Ye Xun's cold eyes, the generals understood that if they don't agree now, no one will be able to get out of the tent.

After looking at each other, they agreed again in unison: "The last general is waiting, and I will obey the father-in-law's order!"

Ye Xun saw the performance of the generals, and a mocking smile could not help but flash across the corner of his mouth.

"Come here, take care of pen and ink, General Mangui, you will send people to follow the subordinates of the generals to their respective guards to help with this matter."

Want to play tricks?I have to give you a chance!

After Man Gui agreed, a guard outside the tent quickly entered with a pen and ink.

These generals are the chief generals of the guards, and they will definitely carry the tokens and seals with him, so Ye Xun is forcing them to give orders now, and does not give them the opportunity to communicate or arrange in private.

Under such circumstances, the generals could only act according to Ye Xun's intention. Soon, under the supervision of the guards, they hurriedly wrote the order, and then stamped their own seals. It doesn't matter if anyone can't write. The imprint is enough, and the content guard can help write it.

Not to mention, there were some lucky ones who tried to muddle through the customs on the grounds that the token seal was not with them, and they returned to the camp to order again.

Ye Xun didn't give him this chance, and ordered the guards to take it down. Since he doesn't want to cooperate, he won't give you another chance to cooperate.

The current situation is equivalent to Ye Xun's house arrest of these generals. In a word, if you want to leave safely, you have to obey orders honestly.

Soon, the orders were written one after another, and Ye Xun's guards took these orders and went out to find the cronies of the generals, and then scattered away under the guidance of those people.

Unknowingly, most of the day has passed, although the generals are hungry, but the problem is, they still have the appetite to eat now!

Ye Xun is a man who loves soldiers. After everything is done, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare meals for the generals. As for the drinks, they were waived. It would be too wasteful to give them drinks.

Obviously, Ye Xun had no intention of letting them leave now.

Indeed, Ye Xun was also afraid that after they returned to the camp, they would send someone back to inform their subordinates, so on the one hand, he bought time for the guards who sent orders, and on the other hand, he had to arrange patrols around the camps to strictly prohibit any soldier from leaving.

I don't know if he wanted to set an example or want to monitor nearby, but Ye Xun didn't leave, sitting behind the desk while eating and reading the report.

In a very strange scene, in the large tent where more than a hundred people gathered, there was no sound other than the crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

But the silence was soon interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. When the curtain was lifted, a burly figure strode in, but Man Gui went and returned.

Man Gui quickly came to Ye Xun's side, handed over a letter in his hand, and said softly: "It was just intercepted by Lanzhou."

Ye Xun took the letter and opened it. As expected, the letter really came from the British government. Although the letter was also in Zhang Weixian's handwriting, the content was somewhat specious.

In the letter, Gu Xiancheng was warned to abide by discipline and law, love children, and strictly implement the imperial government's orders.

The letter wasn't long, and it was finished in a few glances. After reading it, Ye Xun couldn't help but snorted and said, "I want to cover it up."

Last night, Ye Xun received a letter from the capital, saying that the old man was already ill and could go back to the west at any time. That is to say, someone was doing this matter under the banner of the old man from the beginning to the end. of.

The Duke of England's title is hereditary, but Zhang Weixian, an old and unscrupulous man, has a bunch of sons, among whom there are three legitimate sons who are qualified to inherit the title.

The boss, Zhang Xulian, is currently working in the Hanlin Academy. He is a scholar. He is arranged in order according to seniority, and the title should belong to him. It's really hard to say if it falls on his head.

The second son, Zhang Xugang, is currently in the Ministry of Officials, a very delicate official position, but I heard that he is only on a temporary basis, after all, where is his father's reputation, and his family does not lack his salary. No ambition.

The third eldest, Zhang Xuyang, is also Zhang Weixian's most beloved son. He has been appointed as a governor in Jinyiwei, but he has never taken up the post. He usually idles around and is a typical dude. up.

Three sons, three personalities, and they are the ones who have the most contact with their father, Zhang Weixian, so could this be done by one of the three sons?
For Zhang Weixian's sake, Ye Xun didn't want to participate in the internal affairs of the British government, but now it seems that it is impossible not to participate.
It wasn't until it was time to light the lamps and all the peripheral control was in place that Ye Xun let the generals go back.

They were full of energy when they came, but they were like eggplants beaten by frost when they returned. Everyone knew that even if they could get out of here alive, they would no longer be able to control the wind and rain in their respective territories like before.

These generals didn't know that Ye Xun had to change his itinerary due to Zhang Weixian's serious illness.

Since his debut, Zhang Weixian has been very helpful to Ye Xun, and Ye Xun has a feeling that the old Duke must be waiting to see him for the last time, so he must rush back as soon as possible.

Everyone else left, and Ye Xun sat alone behind the commander-in-chief case, pondered for a long time, and then wrote two secret letters, one to Chen Shancai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, ordering him to re-appoint the prefect of Lanzhou, and the other to Fang Zhenru, asking him to send The capable censor came to the northwest to thoroughly investigate the problems here.

Things can be divided into big and small, and priority. It is impossible for Ye Xun to do everything himself, otherwise he will be exhausted sooner or later, and some things that are not particularly urgent have to be done by his subordinates.

After arranging these, another order was sent to recruit Man Gui and Qin Bangping to discuss the matter.
