Eunuch Emperor

At this time, there were nearly a thousand people in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion of Huguang.

There are dozens of officials brought from the capital, as well as the teachers and staff of these officials, and hundreds of scholars from Nanning Prefecture, small businessmen, and busy people watching.

Chen Ping, the chief editor of the Marquis Mansion in the west of Zhenxi, knelt in the middle of the lobby with a cold face.

"Prisoner Chen Ping, this superintendent asks you, is it true that you punished the court commander?" Huguang Governor Wang Jian said angrily.

Chen Ping said quietly: "Your Excellency, I have said many times that this matter is not true."

Wu Sanshi, governor of Guangxi, said: "Then speak slowly."

Chen Ping said: "First of all, the emperor's decree is that Huguang Governor Wang Jianshuyao will lead the post of Huguang Governor, and Marquis Du Bian will take charge of the three provinces in southwestern China, and the military power of Hunan, right?"

"Yes." Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu said: "The world is rumored that the empire has chaotic laws in the southwest, and the people are not going to live. Moreover, the life and death of the Marquis of Dubian is uncertain. Came to Huguang to take up the post of governor. This was originally the will of the emperor. Isn't the governor unable to come, shouldn't he come?"

Chen Ping said: "The lower officials did not say that the governor should not come. In fact, Li Wenyu, the supervisor of the army, did not prevent the governor from coming. He has even been tolerant of the country. The governor and his related staff successfully took office."

Then Chen Ping said: "Not only that, because of your arrival, the forces of the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion immediately withdrew from the Hunan Province. At present, General Li Zhan only retains 10,000 troops to station in Hunan, and the rest of the civilian officials have all withdrawn. So for the Governor. We are in cooperation with the Marquis Mansion in West Zhenxi. We did not prevent your officials from entering Guangxi and even voluntarily surrendered many powers. There is only one reason. Marquis Du Bian is loyal to the court and loyal to His Majesty."

"Huh..." Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu sneered.

Chen Ping said: "It is precisely because Marquis Du Bian is loyal to His Majesty that we continue to give in in many things. But you should not subvert the decree of Marquis Du Bian's Mansion and Governor's Mansion of Zhenxibian Town. We have received once from farmers in Guangxi Province. After paying taxes, your officials shouldn’t collect it a second time. The people went to Tianyamen, the prefect of Wuzhou, to seek justice. They were suppressed and killed dozens of people. The dozens of people who were killed were all military members. It is a military member of the town west of the town. As the head of the town’s west marquis mansion and the governor’s mansion of the town west, do I have the right to investigate?"

"According to court law, you are not qualified to investigate." Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu said: "This matter is only the governor of Guangxi Wu Sanshi, and I, the Governor of Huguang, have the power to investigate."

Guangxi governor Wu Sanshi said: "Because it was a military member of the town west of the town who was killed, the governor's house of the west town can come to investigate, but it needs the cooperation of the local government."

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu sternly said: "You come to investigate and investigate, but who gives you the power to kill and kill the court orders? Your Zhenxi Marquis Mansion is so domineering, even more presumptuous than Zhennan Duke Mansion? Really Guangxi is you. Dubian Marquis's independent kingdom?"

Chen Ping calmly said: "My lord Governor, please pay attention. The prefect of Wuzhou suppressed the people and killed dozens of people who belonged to the military in the west of the town."

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu said: "That's because the children of these troubled people served as soldiers under the Marquis Du Bian and have their own backers, so they dared to attack the government."

Chen Ping narrowed his gaze and said: "No, this is a premeditated killing, specifically to kill the family members of Marquis Dubian's army. The purpose is to anger the conflict between the local government and the Marquis Mansion in Zhenxi, to separate and tear both you and me. Relationship."

"Furthermore, the prefect of Wuzhou and the three county magistrates were not at all killed by me taking the warriors of Dongchang. I led the warriors of Dongchang to Wuzhou. It was not entirely for the sake of these dozens of dead to seek justice, but the investigator was a spy. case."

"I led the Dongchang warriors, but did not go to the prefectural office of Wuzhou, or even any local government office. I entered the Wuzhou Dongchang Thousand Households Office. Instead, the Wuzhou prefect and local officials led hundreds of government officials to attack. The Thousand Households Office of the East Factory of Wuzhou besieged and questioned me. Then the spies of the Fang family took advantage of the chaos and killed the prefect of Wuzhou and three county magistrates."

"This is obviously the conspiracy of the Fang family. It is to separate the relationship between Lord Dubian and the capital, and to tear up the contradiction between you and me. Master Li Wenyu officially realized this and to avoid falling into the enemy's trap. Forbearance and tolerance, I was arrested by the Governor without any resistance. Otherwise, in the southwest, no one would have captured me!"

Chen Ping calmly stated all the facts.

"Presumptuous, absurd." Huguang Governor Wang Jian Shuhan said: "Chen Ping, are you really a fool as the Governor? Are you really a fool when you are an official in Guangxi? Are you really a fool for thousands of people? It was you who held the power of the Marquis of Dubian Mansion, dominated the law, and killed my imperial officials, but said what was done by the spies of the Fang family. How ridiculous?"

Then Wang Jian Shuhan said: "What kind of master is it that trained you despicable ones?"

When Chen Ping heard these words, he suddenly said coldly: "Your Excellency the Governor said carefully, as the pillar of the imperial court, you shouldn't say such slanderous words about the pillar of the empire."

"Imperial Pillar?" Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu sneered in his heart: "Du Bian? A 20-year-old **** can also be called the Imperial Pillar. There are no heroes at all times, so Zhizi is famous!"

Chen Ping said coldly: "In addition, let me ask again, the Governor's Mansion in the town west of the town has already collected taxes from the people of Guangxi once, why do your officials have to collect it again?"

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu said: "Isn't it just a matter of the local government to levy taxes on local people and pay for food? Otherwise, how to turn over to the treasury and how to manage the local government?"

Chen Ping said, "Your Excellency Governor may have forgotten. The emperor's will. The three southwestern provinces have gone through wars, so three years of imperial taxes will be exempted."

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu was beaten immediately and his face became extremely ugly, but he quickly cheered up: "Your Majesty the Emperor has pity on the people, so he has this will. But after we came to Guangxi, we found that this is not the case at all, Tianli In the countryside, the grain is chopped, and the people are rich, almost as rich as the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. So rich, shouldn't it be a relief for the country? You have to know that the capital has not enough food until now, and the royal family only eats two meals a day."

Chen Ping said, "The imperial court has exempted the taxes in the three southwestern provinces, but according to the order of Master Du Bian. We still turned over 300,000 shi of grain from the treasury a few months ago as Liaodong army food. Then we turned it in again. Three million eight hundred thousand taels of silver, isn't that enough?"

Then, Chen Ping said: "The governor said before that the law in Southwest China is unreasonable, and the people don’t have a livelihood, and the world is hell. Now it is said that Guangxi is rich in the people and should be shared by the country. I now want to ask, is it true that the people in Southwest China are not living? Or are the people rich? what?"

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu was beaten in the face again.

Suddenly he trembled with anger and sternly said: "Sure enough, there is a master and a servant, so a spoiled face. The three provinces of the southwest are rich, and the **** on earth is also a fact. How many literati and official families have been displaced, and how many scholarly families are there. The family is broken, and how many scholars lack food and clothing? Marquis Du Bian does not respect Confucius and Mencius and tramples on the imperial examination. Isn’t it a lawlessness?

Chen Ping said coldly: "The scholar-official family continued to merge land through imperial examinations to escape taxes. As a result, the people of the world have less and less farmland, and the imperial taxation has decreased. It was to fill the treasury and barely maintain the operation of the empire. Less than a year after the implementation of the new Southwest Law, we achieved a bumper harvest and achieved great development. We paid more taxes and grain to the court than in any year. Doesn't this prove the new law? Excellent? Should the scholars and scholar-official families mentioned by the governor lie at home and enjoy the support of the people, escape taxes, and fish for the people?"

"Spoken words, sophistry and treacherous." Huguang Governor Wang Jian Shuhan said: "Chen Ping, where did you read your skills? You really shouldn't participate in the imperial examination for a gentleman like you. Your mind is crooked, and you read the book again. High is useless."

Wang Jianshu was really trembling with anger, because he couldn't say many things.

But he thinks that scholars must be superior to others, because they help the emperor rule the people. Without these elite scholars, those ignorant people would lose their way. So isn't it right for scholars to be supported?

Of course, he also opposed land mergers.

However, the so-called scholar-officials, of course, his **** sits on the side of the scholar.

Therefore, the new law implemented by Dubian is of course chaotic law, a chaotic law that reverses the universe and destroys the world.

Huguang Governor Wang Jian got up and said to the thousands of people outside: "Dear folks and elders, tell me, is the new law of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenxi good or bad?"

"No, no!" Thousands of people shouted.

These people are really not trusting. If there is a gainer in the New Deal, there will surely be a loser.

For now, Dubian’s New Deal in the southwest has benefited the largest number of farmers. The biggest damage was the literati family and scholars. The less damage is the merchant class.

Because the current focus of the Southwest New Deal is on food, metal smelting, weapon development, city wall construction, and so on. And with the color of planned economy. It belongs to the initial stage of laying the foundation and has not yet benefited business.

Du Bian did not deliberately crack down on the power of businessmen, and in the next few years, there will be a major explosion of business, and a large number of businessmen will become the biggest beneficiaries.

But now, because the majority of literati and officialdom families and the rich and powerful are suppressed, commerce is naturally withered temporarily. The spending power of the masses of the people has not been built up, so the businessmen have a hard time, so they cursed Du Bian every day for not being able to die.

When news of Du Bian's death came, Nanning City, Guilin City, and Wuzhou City all heard the sound of firecrackers, as if celebrating his death.

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu asked again: "Did the Nadu Change's New Deal be a chaotic law?"

"Chaotic law, chaotic law!"

"The **** must not die! Du Bian must not die!"

"Du Bian is dead."

"Good death!"

"Good death!" someone in the crowd hid and shouted.

They are not trustees, or even scholars, but small businessmen, and even watch the busy people for fear that the world will not be chaotic.

Because of Du Bian's New Deal, he earned dozens of taels less in a year, and of course he hated it.

Of course, if it hadn't been for Dubian, Guangxi might have been in a mess, and this little businessman would have died in the war.

But they don't care about this, they only know that Du Bian made him save dozens of taels of silver, so he should die!

And because of Dubian, all illegal smuggling stopped. A larger group of businessmen could not make money. They even wanted to cramp Dubian, eat his meat and drink his soup!

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu sternly said: "The head of the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion is Chen Ping, and he is complicit in conspiracy. Should he be killed?"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!

Thousands of people onlookers, either scholars, small businessmen, or idlers, either hate change or watch the excitement.

Of course roar and kill!

The governor of Guangxi Wu Sanshi frowned.

This cabinet minister, Wang Jianshu, was an upright official, and when he was ruling the court, he dismissed him and went home to study.

But he came out of the imperial court, and later did an inspection of the imperial palace, and then entered the inspectorate, reaching the highest level of the Udu imperial palace.

I have been swearing all my life, and what I do best is to guide public opinion and attack them in groups.

But he has never been a local chief official in his entire life, and now he has become the same way that the governor still uses imperial history to incite public opinion to achieve himself. He really is not a qualified official in Xinjiang.

On the contrary, Chen Ping, who is well-founded and able to read and do things, is indeed a rare talent.

Moreover, in the debate, facing cabinet ministers like Wang Jianshu, he did not let himself down. Instead, Wang Jianshu avoided the left and right, incited emotions and tried to suppress the momentum.

Why did Beijing send such a person to serve as Governor of Huguang? Completely retreat and not pragmatic, but also paranoid and naive.

Alas, this world is like Zhang Yangming, who is an upright official, a wise man, and a talented general. It is really too few.

"The prisoner Chen Ping killed the imperial court commander. He was unforgivable and sentenced to be executed!" Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu stood up abruptly and threw the sign on the ground.

At this moment, he felt that he was indeed a blue sky.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Thousands of people shouted outside.

Li Wenyu came out of the back hall and directly took Chen Ping's hand and said, "Let's go."

Then, he said to Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu: "Jianshu Gong? Party disputes are really so important, can you ignore the facts? Chen Ping said, the prefect of Wuzhou and the three prefectures were not killed by him, but by the spies of the Fang family, you Why didn't you check? Chen Ping, I took it away, and I will personally play in the capital, so that His Majesty and His Royal Highness will send an imperial mission to hear the case."

Huguang Governor Wang Jian Shuhan said: "Wen Yu, don't let yourself be fooled! Your loyalty is His Majesty the Emperor, the court, not Du Bian himself. Moreover, he is dead!"

Then, he waved his hand abruptly and said, "Come here, take Chen Ping and behead immediately. You don't have to submit to the Criminal Ministry for review and beheaded for a major crime."

"Yes!"

Then, dozens of warriors came out to take Chen Ping away and make a decisive decision!

...

"boom……"

Suddenly, the gate of Huguang Governor's Mansion was smashed.

Du Bian led hundreds of cavalrymen and rushed in.

The first thing he looked at was not Chen Ping or Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu, but his adoptive father Li Wenyu.

I sighed inwardly.

It was precisely because of Li Wenhua's consent that Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu entered Hunan and Guangxi.

Moreover, in many battles, the other party had to make an inch of it, and the officials of the Marquis Du Bian gave in steadily.

Li Wenhuan has been suppressing the Marquis Mansion of Zhenxi and the Governor's Mansion of Zhenxi.

He looked very cruel to the Li family and the other party.

But facing the emperor's direct line, he was somewhat powerless, because he was more loyal to the emperor than everyone else.

He can only maintain it desperately and prevent the contradiction between the two sides from intensifying.

But it was precisely this that caused a certain amount of chaos in the southwest.

Du Bian, who was riding on a horse, looked at Chen Ping for the second time. The other party was so excited that he couldn't stand it anymore. His whole body was trembling, tears poured violently, and his whole body seemed to explode with surprise.

Finally, he looked at Wang Jianshu, Governor-General of Huguang.

This great upright official, this once well-known great official, was driven back to his hometown because he repeatedly confronted Fang Zhuo.

After the Fang clan completely withdrew from the capital court, all the officials who had been driven away by the Fang clan returned to the court and formed a new cabinet.

There are many upright officials in it.

But...many upright officials, especially those of the Inspectors, are also evil and hateful. Their greatest ability is to talk and talk.

Anyway, I am not corrupt. I stand on a moral high ground. Anyway, those who disagree with my point of view are traitors.

The party fights against the differences, and does everything possible to condemn a person to death and stinking.

As for right and wrong, they are not very particular about it. They only care about the purpose and results, and are not particular about the process and the means.

Anyway... I am an upright official, and I am correct.

And the moment I saw Du Bian!

Li Wenyu was extremely ecstatic, extremely excited, and then his whole person was going to relax, and then dizzy, he really felt like he was about to collapse during this period.

Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu was shocked at first, almost completely unable to believe his eyes.

Then he shouted angrily: "Marquis Du Bian, did you lead the governor's yamen who attacked me? Are there half court ministers decent? But half put the court in the eyes and your majesty in the eyes?"

It's here again. People from the official background are very annoying, and they will button up a big hat every time they speak.

Du Fandan said: "Your Excellency, I am disrespectful when I rushed into the Governor's Mansion on a horse. Then you keep saying that I am a traitor and that I am dead. Is this a court minister as respectable?"

Wang Jianshu said coldly: "If you do it, don't others just say it? Defending the people is better than Fangchuan."

I **** your mother, you told me everything.

In short, you are right to curse, but if I curse, it's a treachery?

Du calmed down and said, "I'll take Chen Ping away. I will investigate Chen Ping's murder of officials such as the prefect of Wuzhou."

"No, this superintendent has already checked it out and sentenced to a decisive decision." Wang Jianshu said: "Marquis Du Bian, the southwest is not a place outside the law, isn't it your independent kingdom, the prince has committed the same crime as the people. Chen Ping is you He’s confidant, but he murdered court officials and conspired with him. Shouldn’t you protect him?”

Du Bian said, "I said that the case of Chen Ping's killing of the imperial official has yet to be investigated. In addition, the Huguang Governor's Mansion can be located not only in Nanning, but also in Changsha Mansion. It is better to go to Changsha Mansion as the Governor."

Du Bian really gave in.

The Wang Jianshu in front of him, after all, is an upright official, after all, is Li Wenyu's friend for more than ten years, after all, he is a member of the emperor's new cabinet.

So go to Hunan, let you do that province, and I will give up a province.

"Hahaha..." Wang Jian Shuhan said: "I am the governor of Hunan and Guangxi. I want to be in Hunan and Guangxi in Guangxi, so I won't be able to change the marquis to point me. Don't interfere, don't interfere with things on my side either."

He came with a mission, how could he leave. He vowed to become the leader of the empire's revitalization, to take back the entire southwest for the empire and build a powerful southwest.

After completing this mission, his Wang Jianshu stayed on forever.

Du Bian squinted his eyes. This person's temper was really smelly and hard. But if you move this person, you hit the capital in the face, or even the emperor, which may intensify the conflict to the point of irreversible rupture.

"Take Chen Ping away." Du Bian ordered.

When the time comes, he will send soldiers to drive away these people. He doesn't bother to have a fight with this old man.

Seeing Du Bian shrinking, Wang Jianshu was overjoyed when he was not domineering as he imagined.

He saw that Du Bian was unwilling to intensify the conflict with the capital, and even more unwilling to break.

In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and this time is the best time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

It is advisable for the remaining brave to chase the poor, and not to be famous and learn the overlord, although this famous poem has not yet come out. But it is the strategic law of those imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

So take this opportunity to suppress Du Bian and kill Chen Ping.

In this way, he and Du Bian won the first battle and can gain a firm foothold in Guangxi.

Because he has the court's righteousness, he should seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely dispel Du Fan's arrogance.

As for whether Chen Ping really killed the three officials of the prefect of Wuzhou, he didn't care very much.

Politicians only care about the results, not the process.

"Who dares?" The skinny Governor Wang Jianshu suddenly stood up, stood in front of Chen Ping, and said sharply: "Who dares to take Chen Ping away? Marquis Du Bian, do you want to rebel?"

At this time, Wang Jianshu was strong and righteous.

"Guys, scholars, the time has come to uphold the court's laws, and the time has come to uphold justice in the world. Can you let a warlord take away a sinner who kills innocent people?"

Suddenly, dozens of young scholars and hundreds of officials' staff were instigated with enthusiasm, and seeing that Du Bian was steadily retreating before the governor, I felt that this was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Suddenly, dozens of scholars, hundreds of officials and staff, plus small businessmen who hated Dubian, and leisure people watching the excitement rushed up and surrounded Huguang Governor Wang Jianshu.

"Marquis Du Bian, have you seen it? The justice of the world is on our side. You want to take Chen Ping away unless you step on our corpse!" Governor Wang Jianshu was overjoyed in his heart. His fighting methods in the Metropolitan Court, Inciting emotions, as expected, time and again.

However, Wu Sanshi's face changed drastically.

Li Wenyu's face also changed drastically, and he said sharply: "Wang Jianshu, don't you..."

"Haha, Governor Wu Sanshi, you succumbed to the warlord's lust? My Wang Jianshu is not as stubborn as you. There is righteousness in the world, and there is righteousness in my heart. What fear does Wang Jianshu have?"

"Marquis Du Bian? You want to take Chen Ping away forcibly, and you are ignoring the court's laws. If you want to rebel, just step on my corpse!" Wang Jianshu said impassionedly.

"You have exhausted my little patience~www.ltnovel.com~ Are all the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate a stupid like you?" Du Bian sighed: "Others are going to turn their faces, I still have What way? Step on your body? It doesn't matter!"

"Chong! Those who dare to stop, don't matter if you kill them!" Du Bian gave an order.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed forward and trampled on them.

In an instant, hundreds of scholars, officials and staff, idlers, and small businessmen outside the lobby were smashed and flew out, breaking their bones and vomiting blood.

Countless people were trampled directly into the flesh.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Howling miserably!

Blood splattered, and countless casualties!
