Chapter 52

Liu Zeqing, whose name is Hezhou, is from Caozhou. The Apocalypse Zhonghu Book Guo yunhou, a domestic slave, later filled the state to catch and steal archers.

Guo yunhou, a native of Caozhou, was a scholar in the 35th year of Wanli. In July of the sixth year of the apocalypse, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of household. He accumulated the crown prince's Taibao, crown prince's Taifu and crown prince's Taishi. He once paid tribute to Wei Zhongxian, Zhuang Tian and Lumi. In February of the first year of Chongzhen, he was removed from office by the eunuch party.

Liu Zeqing was a domestic slave of Guo yunhou at first, but after the collapse of the Guo family, he was also a local constable. It is said that he was later recommended to Guizhou governor Wang Sanshan. Since then, he joined the army and became a member of the army.

Liu Zeqing was able to become the commander-in-chief of Shandong army. Except that he participated in the war to defeat the East fleeing Kong Youde rebels in Huangxian County, Shandong Province, and defeated or blocked the Qing army entering the Customs for looting twice, there was no other outstanding performance. It can be said that he was cowardly and mediocre in military essence. In the winter of the fifth year and the spring of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the Ming army besieged the Dengzhou rebels, and Liu Zeqing was sent to guard the Dengzhou Watergate.

Watergate is the only gateway and military key for Jin after the rebels broke through the maritime traffic, so it is of great military significance. How does Liu Zeqing perform? Although Zeqing was rebellious, he did not dare to approach the thief, and he was not familiar with firearms. Kong Youde went in and out of his home from the Watergate. Are all Zeqing's sins? Kong Youde and other rebels escaped from Dengzhou and took refuge in JianNu with his help.

This man has no ability. Why did he climb to a high position? Of course, there are personal reasons. Although Liu Zeqing is incompetent in military affairs, he is very good at peeping into the situation and drilling camp ways.

Of course, the most fundamental thing is that the current political corruption provides many opportunities for some military men to prosper and turn some ordinary or even mediocre elements into powerful figures. This is the condition for Liu Zeqing's personal expertise to take effect.

As soon as Liu Zeqing appeared in the Ming army, he knew how to rely on grass and trees and form a party for personal gain. He took refuge in Donglin, made friends with celebrities, and had contacts with Fu society Zhang Pu and Chen Zilong. He was well liked by some officials. Moreover, he was a local snake. He firmly guarded the local territory. Since he served as Shandong Dusi Jinshu around the beginning of Chongzhen year, he has only fought in Shandong and its adjacent areas, He is one of the famous generals in Shandong and other places. He is as famous as the Zuo Liangyu brothers.

But he was resentful because he asked the Liu family for less money when suppressing the Wuqiao mutiny. Liu Zeqing was famous for his narrow-minded, sinister and vicious mind. He publicly vowed to give the Liu family a good look.

If it was a small general soldier in the past, he would dare to challenge the Liu family. He asked the inner court for a Zhongzhi, and he could destroy it directly. However, Emperor Chongzhen, because of the rebellion of Wei Zhongxian in the previous dynasty, had always pressed down on the rights of eunuchs, and had never delegated power to the Si Li supervisor, and the special right to approve Zhu was also deprived, Therefore, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the power of the whole inner court was greatly suppressed. Except that he ordered some eunuchs he trusted to go out to supervise the army, there were no powerful eunuchs.

This put the Liu family, who had been following that route, into trouble.

However, Liu Yuanqiao is not easy to mess with. He doesn't have to worry too much about Liu Zeqing alone. This is also related to the customs of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, literature and martial arts have always been expensive and cheap, and the grade of military generals is high, but they have always been despised by civil servants. As long as civil servants fight with military officials, they will be suppressed by civil servants. It is reasonable that there is no county magistrate under the general soldier account, and there is a general soldier under the county magistrate account.

Only Liu Yuanqiao was unlucky. His wealth aroused the covetous hearts of two big men in Shandong, Zhu Dadian and Chen YingYuan, so Liu Zeqing dared to deal with him blatantly.

However, the wealth of several generations of the Liu family has accumulated great prestige. He doesn't have to worry too much about Liu Zeqing, a man of military origin. The Liu family is still abiding by the rules of the game of Daming. They have been playing here all the time. He doesn't worry that Liu Zeqing can move him alone. Is there any way to play?

But now Liu Yuanqiao saw that the other party was so aggressive and unreasonable. He had no choice but to order his confidant to enter the capital directly with a letter for help.

Now civil servants are like the governor of Shandong. Zhu Dadian and Chen YingYuan probably don't look at the inner court's face, but Liu Zeqing is not necessarily. If the inner court people put pressure on him, he still has a certain fear. Although the momentum of the emperor's inner court is much lower than before, his Royal Horse supervisor is still in charge of the army. They still have a way to handle a local general army.

Liu Yuanqiao also made a decision. If the inner court did not support him this time, he had to choose to hang the crown and no longer be an official. He was still quite powerful in the local area. He was not afraid of the other party's hard work. If he came hard, he would have a hard fight with him.

Liu Zeqing can run wild in Shandong because he has hundreds of servants. Do you think I won't be left if you have servants? Hearing the news from Liu Zhongyong, they have recently trained hundreds of servants. Liu Bu has performed well. Liu Jiajun is ready to go. Even if he is against Shandong biaojing, don't be too afraid.

This is Liu Yuanqiao's confidence. If you want to play the rules of the officialdom game, I'll play with you. If you want to mess around, you'll fight hard with you. Therefore, he is not afraid of Liu Zeqing, the so-called Shandong General army. For the head of his aristocratic family, Liu Zeqing is just a slave of a rich family. What's the great thing to dare to move him?

However, Liu Yuanqiao is a smart man. Now he is also a real discovery. Now the world has really changed.

Facing the difficulties between the imperial court and the world, the emperor made 100% efforts. He wanted to live in the imperial court every day. He worked for more than eight hours a day, but there was no way. The world was still getting more and more chaotic.

The chaos of the world also involves the chaos of their political system. The government has begun to lose its prestige, and the set of rules of the game that has been pursued in officialdom is also rapidly collapsing.

Because of the collapse of these rules of the game, the Liu family has been holding these rules of the game to gain a foothold in Linqing and balance among the major forces like a fish in the water. However, now the balance of these forces has been broken, and they can't balance among the major right forces. Therefore, he has a feeling that the Liu family, which has been popular in Linqing for decades, It may be out this time.

He now understands that chaos is imminent, and there are signs of chaos in many places. Many people begin to have no rules. The seat on his ass is one of the best in the world. Many people stare at it and want to rob it.

As the patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Yuanqiao should protect their ancestral property, but now he knows that the current power of the Liu family in officialdom may not be able to maintain this position. He decides to retreat from this position once things are impossible, and then return to his hometown in Foshan to observe the general trend of the world.

As for the two governors who wanted to ask them to donate money to build a place and treat the refugees, he refused. This is impossible. He is an old Youzi in officialdom. He deeply understands what kind of routine the so-called donation in officialdom is. It can be said that the money is donated, and they will not be used for local recovery and disaster relief, These money and grain directly fell into the hands of officials. It can be said that after the Wuqiao mutiny, the whole Shandong was in chaos. The imperial court didn't know how much money was pulled out, and some places also withheld a lot of taxes, but where did all the money go?

They have not been stopped by these officials. All places are poor, but the officials are rich. Moreover, it has been more than a year since the Wuqiao mutiny. After more than a year of relief and recovery, the imperial court has spent a lot of money and food. As a result, it is even more broken than before the mutiny.

Liu Yuanqiao always cares most about the position on his ass. as long as this position is, they can get countless oil and water and rolling property through it. Is the world chaotic? He doesn't care whether the society is good or not. It's never his business. These are not what he can manage as a seven grade tax official, but he can't help sighing when he sees the social chaos and dilapidation.

Today's Daming is terminally ill, which makes him an official who has been loyal to the Daming Dynasty for decades very sad and helpless.

He knew that the Ming Dynasty was becoming more and more dilapidated day by day, which made him feel dangerous. That's why this family came out, retreated to the place, waited until the world was calm, and then decided whether to be an official or not.

Moreover, Liu Yuanqiao's nickname is octahedral Buddha. We know that he is actually a long sleeved and exquisite person. He also knows that the position on his ass and his Liu family's property are a piece of fat meat coveted by all kinds of demons and ghosts. How many people want to rob the Liu family's property and take it as their own, but they have been blocking countless enemies with his various means.

He can be called the eight faced Buddha because he has flexible means and can cope with the incoming text and martial arts from the other party. Otherwise, the Liu family can't be here all the time.

However, he now finds that the rules of the game formed over the past few decades are being rapidly destroyed through Liu Zeqing's tough and violent means. Without the protection and rules of these rules of the game, the Liu family can't keep his position. Liu Yuanqiao is thinking, is it time to return to Fushan?

He also knew that Liu Zeqing's first idea was his idea.

This man is actually a little unscrupulous now. Such an ugly appearance shows that he has reached the point of jumping over the wall, being arrogant and desperate. In view of this, he Liu Yuanqiao must guard against and deal with it carefully, or he will suffer a heavy loss.
