Chapter 534

During the battle of Zichuan, the smoke of Liu Zeqing's 100000 troops flew out. Liu Jiajun went down to Jinan one day, shaking the whole Qilu land like a magnitude earthquake. Everyone was stunned. Liu Zeqing was equivalent to the land overlord of Shandong. He had been here for more than ten years, and the people were angry and hated to the bone.

With the gradual decline of the imperial court's authority, Liu Zeqing became a real local overlord. He committed many evils and was in trouble. Unexpectedly, this local overlord let Liu Jiajun clean up in such a short time, and he was captured alive. In connection with the gratitude and resentment between him and the Liu family, his capture and execution is the best outcome, Maybe they will be cut like Kong Youde.

In addition, Jinan government, the first important town of Qilu, was captured by Liu Jiajun in one day. This is too terrible. Jinan government, as the first important town of Qilu, can explain his position. He can also be regarded as guarding the key point of Shandong, and Shandong is the shoulder of the capital. Shandong has something to do. How can the capital, the first in the world, be alone.

These two events spread all over Qilu in an instant, just as shocking and shocking as the magnitude 10 earthquake.

In particular, the representatives of the squires in the three eastern prefectures, such as Jing Yun Gong, were shocked and scared all the time.

They are a member of Liu Jiajun, which means that they are on the opposite side of the imperial court. Of course, others think so. They still think I am the representative of the people and places of the East Third mansion, but I am loyal to the Ming court.

But at this time, I'm afraid the imperial court had already regarded them as rogues who colluded with the Liu family and became traitors.

Duke Jingyun was very angry. He rushed into the governor's Yamen of Liu Yuanqiao and questioned him about it. Duke Jingyun had high prestige in the local area. No one dared to stop him. At this time, Liu Yuanqiao was ready to pack up and go to Jinan. When he saw Duke Jingyun coming, he still made a bow and said: "Why are you here? Why don't you say hello in advance, or go out to meet you."

Jingyun said angrily, "Liu Qingyun, if you rebel?"

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "why did you say that? You know, Liu Jiajun heard that Liu Zeqing raised troops to rebel and resolutely sent troops to suppress. He has successfully defeated Liu Zeqing's rebels and recovered the Jinan house controlled by the rebels. Now I'm going to Jinan to discuss big plans with Xi Fu Lao Yongjia."

Jingyun said angrily, "you're reversing black and white."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "it seems that you have a great misunderstanding about us. Our Liu family army sent troops this time, which did not create a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty and did not hurt the local people. The main thing is to suppress the rebellion of Liu Zeqing."

He is also a man who has been a government officer for more than ten years. He also knows that history is written by the winner. Since Liu is the winner, he has the final say. He said, "are you really against it?"

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "I Liu Jiajun are loyal to the imperial court and have no second thoughts."

Duke Jingyun said to him, "since you are loyal to the imperial court, why do you resist the order and don't obey it“

Liu Yuanqiao said, "I'm Liu Yuanqiao's man. I believe the public knows that I can't be Yue Fei, but I'm not Qin Hui. The imperial court extorts millions of gold and silver. This is to dig three feet of the East three houses and suck the bones and marrow of the people. My initial intention of Liu Yuanqiao as an official is to protect the territory and the people and benefit the people. If this is the case, I'd better not be an official."

When Liu Yuanqiao said this, he calmed Duke Jingyun. You should know which scholar in this era did not stand on the high ground of morality and boast that he was an official to save all the people and all the people in the world. If Duke Jingyun dared to support the imperial court to do so, he would be abandoned by the people of the three East houses.

Sure enough, Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "Liu is not talented. Governing the three East houses has always been based on Qi people governing Qi and protecting the territory and the people. If the local people are willing to obey the imperial edict and recruit tax and silver from the people, Liu should follow it."

When Liu Yuanqiao said this, he was actually diverting attention and contradictions. Jing Yungong, who has been in officialdom for a long time, did not know the other party's means. He said, "you are disobeying the order of the imperial court."

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "it's wrong to say so. You should know that the world is the world of people in the world. The people of the East three houses have the most say in how to govern the East three houses. It's the so-called Qi people govern Qi and the world is peaceful."

Duke Jingyun wanted to use the righteousness and prestige of the imperial court to suppress Liu Yuanqiao, while Liu Yuanqiao used local forces to resist the imperial court. His strategy of protecting the territory and reassuring the people has won the unanimous support of the local people. Even these squires support this approach. In short, their approach is that the big guys work together to divide the East three houses and move to their own house.

Duke Jingyun saw such a situation, but he was unable to stop it. He was very worried that if it had been a long time, the East three houses would fall into the edge of division and even become local vassal towns.

However, Liu Yuanqiao didn't raise troops to rebel, and he didn't dare to say so. After all, the Liu family hasn't raised troops to rebel yet. Liu Yuanqiao also said that it was to suppress the rebellion when he attacked Liu Zeqing's troops.

In fact, from the perspective of the imperial court, it must be Liu Yuanqiao's troops who rebelled. He disobeyed the imperial edict. What's the difference between rebellion and rebellion? But in the eyes of the local people, it should be Liu Zeqing who rebelled. Liu Zeqing has an army in his hand. He can't do all kinds of evil. It's not a day or two to harm places. He is entrenched in the third west In the area of the mansion, the people of several mansions have been tormented. Except that several families have not been mutilated by him, others have been tormented and miserable by him. If you say Liu Zeqing's rebellion in Shandong, it is estimated that the people of the whole Shandong love to hear this.

After Liu Yuanqiao said this, he said, "now Liu is going to Jinan to discuss the grand plan of Qilu with Lord Lao Yongjia in Xifu. Duke Jingyun can go with him if he is interested."

After Liu Yuanqiao said this, Jingyun palace asked, "what do you want?"

Liu Yuanqiao said, "Liu is always the same and never forgets his original intention, that is, Qi people govern Qi, protect the territory and secure the people." his practice is to contact local forces to resist the authority of the central court and obtain benefits from it, that is, he has the practice of making local vassal towns.

Duke Jing Yun felt powerless when he saw the East three mansion sliding into the abyss. He knew that such a situation would not last forever. The imperial court would not allow Shandong to become a vassal town so close to the capital. He would make trouble and fight. He didn't know what to do at that time.

He also understood that what Liu Yuanqiao said about the great plan of joint consultation should be that he told Lao Yongjia to cooperate with him to deceive the superior and the subordinate. For an official like Lao Yongjia, he is a clay Bodhisattva, and he can't even deal with the former Liu Zeqing. Can he deal with the more ferocious Liu Yuanqiao? It is estimated that Lao Yongjia acted according to Liu Yuanqiao's life, Arrange what he does and what he says.

Duke Jingyun is a little complicated about this. He has to admit one thing, that is, under the governance of the Liu family, the east third house is really a place where people live and work in peace and contentment and live a good life for several years.

If you don't know what's good or bad, you can compare it with the West three mansion. In recent years, there has been no major unrest in the West three mansion except the smell of incense sect. However, the East three mansion has suffered a tragedy such as the Wuqiao mutiny, but the East three Mansion can recover in a short time, but the West three mansion has been declining.

In the past, when Zhu Dadian governed the place, he still had some means to maintain the authority of the imperial court. However, after Lao Yongjia served as governor, he, a clay bodied Bodhisattva, could do nothing but make money, which also made Shandong's official governance more corrupt and public security more chaotic. After the Wuqiao mutiny, A large number of people from the east third house have flocked to the West Third House to find a way to live, but amazing changes have taken place in recent years. A large number of people from the West Third House have begun to flock to the east third house, hoping to find something to do in the East Third house and live a good life.

If this does not mean that it is a human problem, there is nothing else to say.

Jing Yungong knew that if Liu Jiajun controlled Jinan, Liu Jiajun's power began to expand vigorously to Jinan. In the past, Laizhou was the strongest force of Liu family, and gradually controlled Dengzhou. After he controlled Denglai, he gradually extended to Qingzhou.

If Fang of Qingzhou Prefecture had no father and son, they were known as the political tumblers and sitting on the ground. He was also a capable person. He reluctantly guaranteed the independence of Qingzhou Prefecture without the envy of the Liu family, but he knew that this situation could not last long. Now the Liu family's forces have moved around to Jinan Prefecture behind Qinzhou Prefecture, Therefore, the current Qingzhou Prefecture will soon fall into their control. As their power extends to the three Western prefectures, it is estimated that the remaining Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture will soon fall into the hands of the Liu family.

Duke Jing Yun is sure that if the Liu family controls the West Third House, they will also be able to manage the West third house well. At least let the people have a house to live in, clothes to wear and food to eat. They will not be in such dire straits as now. In some places, there have been tragedies such as people changing their children, eating bark and swallowing guanyintu.

But he also knew that such a thing could not last long. The imperial court could not accept such a situation. They would certainly send a large army to attack and conquer here. As soon as the imperial army came out, Shandong became a battlefield. There were many wars and disasters, and it was the people who suffered. At this stage, even Duke Jingyun didn't know what to do.

Therefore, Liu Yuanqiao generously invited him to Jinan to discuss major plans. After a little hesitation, he decided to go to see if he could find a way of coexistence between the two sides.

Liu Yuanqiao, the governor of the third east mansion, went to Jinan mansion. In fact, he was out of his sphere of influence, but this time he set out, he was quite powerful and powerful. He also brought 1000 cavalry, 5000 infantry, and escorted a large number of grain, grass and grain to Jinan mansion, Seeing such scenes, Jing Yungong lamented that even if the Liu family did not oppose, the vassal town of Shandong was inevitable.
