Chapter 245

Liu Bu is calm every time he sees his father. Liu Yuanqiao's nickname is octahedral Buddha. He says that he is exquisite in dealing with people and affairs. He is an official with heaven and earth in his sleeve. He is very powerful.

This kind of person must have a city government in mind and have a good grasp of everything. He is very powerful, but at this time, Liu Yuanqiao also looks pale and seems a little unprepared and at a loss.

Liu Yuanqiao, after all, is also a minister of Daming. He eats Daming's food and has received the grace of the royal family. Without the grace of the royal family, their Liu family is not today. Although he is full of disappointment with the emperor, it does not mean that he hopes that Daming will die.

But it was in the first month, on the 15th day of the first month, that Fengyang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was broken by roving bandits and the ancestral tombs were dug up. When such shocking news came out, it frightened many people.

Everyone knows one thing, that is, the ancestral grave has been planed, which means that Daming is exhausted.

Daming is exhausted, which is a very tragic thing for those of them who rely on Daming. There is a saying called the tree falls and the monkeys scatter.

So Liu Bu saw his father's face pale for the first time. He seemed a little afraid. He liked drinking tea, but his tea was still full, but it was cold.

He first summoned his most trusted brother and his son, which is the core of their Liu family.

Liu Bu brought hot water from the small stove next to the study, put on new hot tea for his father, and said, "I don't know what my father asked us to do?"

Liu Yuanqiao said unhappily: "you know what you are asking. Fengyang, the capital of China, was broken and Daming's ancestral grave was planed, which shows that Daming is in danger. What should we do to ensure the interests of our Liu family?"

When it comes to this, even Zheng Zhibao's face is blue. Their Zheng family accepted Zhao'an because they are optimistic about the development of Daming. Since they are officials of Daming, they hope that Daming will be good. Although they are also corrupt and gain power, this is within the power structure of Daming. This is under the condition of not harming Daming, but it was unexpected at the end of the first month, Daming was so badly hurt that Fengyang, the capital of China, was broken and the ancestral tombs were planed. Nothing is more serious than this.

No one knows how serious the impact on Daming is.

According to the folk saying, if the ancestral grave is planed, the family will be broken and the people will die.

Liu Bu said, "I don't know if the imperial court has received the news?"

Zheng Zhibao said to him, "even if there is no, it is estimated that it is almost the same."

This is a big event that breaks the sky. No matter what level of government, they dare not hide or hide. They all use the 800 mile expedited way to convey it to their superior departments. Even if they often don't receive the news of being broken at this time, they almost receive it.

Liu Yuanqiao said, "Qingzhi, what do you think of it?"

Liu Bu said without hesitation, "Daming is exhausted. We should make plans early."

Liu Yuanqiao said with an iron blue face, "evil! How dare you say such words?"

Liu Bu was not frightened by his father's fierce voice and color, but said calmly: "my son is just talking about things. Who will be lucky after the ancestral grave is planed?"

This is just a superstitious statement, but neither Liu Yuanqiao nor Zheng Zhibao can say anything. In terms of superstition, this is the same iron fact. If you are lucky, how can you be dug up? Your ancestral graves have been dug. Do you want to be lucky?

Liu Yuanqiao took the tea in his hand, put it on his mouth and put it down again. He said, "Hong Chengchou, these people really deserve to die. They can't even destroy a group of rogue bandits."

Liu Bu said, "it's not easy to eliminate the exiled bandits. They hide everywhere and don't fight a decisive battle with you. They themselves have strong strength. If you chase quickly, it's easy to be bitten by him. If you can't catch up with them, it's just eating smoke and dust behind their hips and watching them attack cities and occupy land. No matter who wants to eliminate the exiled bandits, it's not easy."

Zheng Zhibao said, "Hong Chengchou is a very capable man. He is very good at killing traitors. He should have a way."

Zheng Zhibao is sure to speak well for Hong Chengchou, because they are fellow villagers, and Hong Chengchou wrote the preface to the tombstone of their ancestral tomb. Of course, today's senior officials were invited to write the preface for them, because they spent a lot of money.

Liu Bu said: "In addition to the reason mentioned just now, there is a deeper level, that is, where do so many rogue bandits come from? The tourists are like leeks, cutting batch after batch and suppressing them continuously. This is because the Ming court is corrupt, the bottom has been destroyed, officials force the people to rebel everywhere, and the people have no choice but to expose the rod when they can't bear it, so the rogue bandits will be killed Even if the imperial court sent Hong Chengchou, it is estimated that there is not much to do. It is not only a military problem, but also a political one to eliminate the exiled bandits. "

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "what do you say?"

Liu Bu said: "They flee everywhere and hide everywhere. It is very difficult to pursue and kill them. To destroy them, we must eliminate the source of their troops. Only by cutting off their source of troops can we destroy them. Otherwise, the government and army will only pursue and kill them all the way, but they don't know where they pass, but they have become a breeding ground for exiles. Killing one exile will create tens of thousands of exiles Come on, that's why there are more and more rogue bandits. "

As soon as Liu Bu said this, Liu Yuanqiao and Zheng Zhibao immediately understood. After all, they are also smart people. They read the Tang newspaper every day and analyze current events, but they have nothing to do with these things, because they can't care about them. It's the decision of the imperial court.

Zheng Zhibao sighed: "I didn't expect that Daming had entered such a stormy time."

Liu Bu saw that neither of the two elders had tea, so he had to say, "what should we do?" both of them are good tea people. Now they don't even drink a mouthful of hot tea in such a cold day, which shows that their hearts are confused.

Seeing that the two elders didn't speak, Liu Bu had to speak by himself. He said, "it doesn't matter whether Daming dies or not, but we Liu family can't die. We Liu family must live and can't be the victims of Daming."

Liu Bu's words, in fact, are treacherous. After hearing this, Liu Yuanqiao was very dissatisfied. He said, "if you let the censor hear this, you can ask a capital crime and push it out for execution."

Liu Bu said disapprovingly, "where is there a censor here? It's just a matter of fact. We must understand the seriousness of this matter. Daming has entered a time of turmoil. If we Liu family put all our treasures on Daming, we will eventually become his victims."

When Liu Bu said this, the other two were silent, because they just predicted that Daming would perish, so they looked flustered, scared and at a loss.

Even if they are people who have hidden the city government and have great wisdom, they are confused in the face of such amazing changes. It can be said that they are overwhelmed by this amazing and huge news.

It was Liu Bu, who had expected, who seemed so calm. In the eyes of others, he was a great general.

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "how was your car camp?"

Liu Bu said: "we have just coordinated the equipment and people we need. We haven't carried out unified training yet. We need at least four months of training before we can go out to fight."

Zheng Zhibao said, "it is estimated that the governor should also hear the news at this time. Tomorrow he will urgently call us to discuss the big plan. What should we do? We must reach an agreement here now."

Liu Bu said, "the biggest problem is that Governor Chen sent us out to wipe out the exiled bandits in order to keep his official position or his reputation. In this way, he will have a face in the imperial court, and we will be miserable."

Zheng Zhibao said, "this is his right. If they do this, we have no way."

Liu preached: "how can there be no way? The emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers. If he dares to send us to war, we will ask him for food and sound. If these things are not satisfied, we won't go. It's a big deal to have another Wuqiao mutiny."

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "if you think Governor Chen has only these means, you are very wrong."

Liu Bu said: "anyway, they want to use our Liu family to push us out to accumulate credit for him. It's impossible."

Liu Yuanqiao said coldly, "if the governor invites a decree from above and we resist the decree and don't comply with it, the imperial court will kill us."

Liu Buhe said, "if we want to work for them, we have to take out enough pay and food. If we want to talk in vain, we can coax us to go. It's impossible. We don't dare to disobey the imperial edict, but the edict doesn't stipulate that we will fly to Fengyang, Zhongdu to support the front line. We can walk for two or three months, and we can all come?"

Liu Bu has been a soldier for half a year, so he has learned all the skills of being a soldier.

This is the only way for these soldiers to deal with the officers. If they don't want to go to war, they can grind the mangy skin and play dead dogs here. If you order me to go to war, I don't dare to resist and disrespect, but I can drag it and go slowly on the road. When I get there, the rogue bandits don't know where to go.

As for the urgent orders issued by the above authorities, asking them to immediately destroy the enemy and pursue and kill the enemy, they can delay under the pretext of lack of food. This is the usual practice of all officers and soldiers now.

Liu Yuanqiao sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the Daming Dynasty has only been shaking for more than 200 years."

Since it was said that Fengyang, the capital of China, had been broken and the royal tombs had been planed, everyone was extremely disappointed. Everyone knew that Daming had come to the time of wind and rain and sunset.
