Chapter 684： Dongshi imitation

Chapter 684 Dong Shi imitates me

Under the city of Tanning County, Liao Pushi was attacking the city with all his strength, but he saw that reinforcements from the imperial court swarmed in and surrounded his tens of thousands of troops in an instant. News of the capture".

He was frowning, and another sergeant came to report, only to learn that the food road in the rear was destroyed, and the overwhelming situation disappeared for a while, and everyone fell into panic.

Seeing that the army was in chaos, another cavalry surrounded them from behind, shouting and killing one after another: "Capture the traitor general Liao Pushi alive."

Liao Pushi saw from a distance a bright green horse riding straight towards him. The majestic figure made people feel terrified. Only then did he realize that the county mansion had really fallen, so he had to flee in a hurry with his people.

The 500 people led by Lin Jinxiao went straight into the formation, and when they joined forces with He Ying, Ji Huaishu, and Xu Jinzhou, the rebel army was completely defeated.

Looking around at the mess, but he didn't see Tang Bushi, Lin Jinxiao glanced to the southwest, and said with a calm smile, "Since we are brothers, why don't we go to Huangquan Road as a companion, and don't let Liao Pushi escape."

Tang Li still wanted to win back a city for his brother, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Your Highness, the last general requests to lead the army to capture Liao Pushi alive and avenge my Tang family army."

Lin Jinxiao glanced lightly at the two brothers Tang Ru and Tang Ru, looking in a state of distress. Thinking about how difficult it was to be under siege for half a month.

He suddenly pretended to be ill and coughed a few times, leaning on He Ying's shoulders, waved to the two brothers and said, "Don't worry about the governor and general Li, Liao Cheng has been captured alive, the rebel army is gone, next Let He Ying and Zheng Huan deal with the remaining forces."

These days, Zheng Huan watched Lin Jinxiao continuously ask people to raise money and food for disaster relief, ordered him to severely punish Corruption, and today he heard that he personally led people deep into the hinterland to arrest the leader of the rebel army. Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood him in the state capital, and he felt ashamed .

He also gradually realized that His Highness is not a cowardly idiot who is at the mercy of others. The city is very deep. Apart from admiration, he was also a little worried about his body. I went back and forth hundreds of miles to severely injure the rebel army because we were incompetent and unable to share His Highness's worries. Now His Highness is personally conquering and killed the rebel army to the ground in the first battle. Meet Your Highness."

As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Tang Ru and Tang Li again, and vowed: "Please put it down, Your Highness, I will definitely clean up the mess and stabilize the situation in Changning County as soon as possible."

"Very good, very good."

Lin Jinxiao looked at Ji Huaishu with a serious face beside him, coughed weakly several times, and said to Tang Ru with a smile: "The governor has worked hard for several months, so let me go back to the state capital with the king earlier. Come to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise disaster relief and thoroughly investigate the administration of officials, you and I only need to assist from the side."

"This"

Tang Ru was in a mess.

Thinking of the fact that Princess Qian and Princess Qian had previously protected many officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and also wanted to win over the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, I felt extra panic at this moment.

Ji Huaishu only glanced at Tang Ru coldly, and then said righteously in front of the two brothers: "Catch Han Zhen, the prefect of Changning County, and his henchmen immediately, so as to anger the people."

Tang Ru's heart tensed again when he heard this, and he hurriedly told Tang Li: "Hurry up and help Master Shangshu get someone."

Tang Li understood, the situation was tense just now, and Han Zhen hadn't been dealt with in time, so naturally he couldn't be left alive at this juncture.

It's just that before he could move, Ji Huaishu stopped him with a vicious sentence: "Don't worry about staying behind, my lord, the imperial court has decreed that the governor colludes with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to form a party, destroys the army, and deprives the governor of the post. , downgraded to the state capital to stay behind, go back to the government to think about the past, and wait for the crime to be investigated and dealt with before making a decision."

Hearing this, Tang Ru staggered and nearly fell to the ground, but Tang Li helped him up.

"Please, Chief Governor."

Lin Jinxiao looked at the two brothers and deliberately stimulated him: "Fortunately, Li Sanlang is in charge of the Duwei's mansion, the governor can go back to the mansion to rest at ease, and when Ji Shangshu finds out the false accusations against the governor, the king will ask to play it." The imperial court let the chief governor take charge of the captaincy's mansion again."

"Many, thank you, Your Highness."

Tang Ru stared at him blankly. Seeing his sudden look of weakness, he didn't know whether he was really sick or fake.

But the power of the Duwei Mansion has fallen, and it will be difficult to control the situation in Pingning Prefecture only by relying on Tang Li.

The most terrible thing is that the incident happened so suddenly that he had no chance to clean up the mess of Han Zhen and others.

Lin Jinxiao left He Ying in Changning County to help Zheng Huan clean up the remaining crimes, and ordered Xu Jinzhou and Zheng Huan to start a thorough investigation of corruption.

After returning to the state capital, according to the strategy drawn up by Chu Nanzhi, several official documents were issued in a row. From the state capital to all counties and counties in the prefecture, inspection missions were established. Anyone who had officials to report and expose would be appointed as an inspection envoy to go to the place to search for them. The official evidence will be verified by Ji Huaishu and Xu Jinzhou.

Suddenly, the whole Pingning Prefecture made reports and exposures, which made people panic, and the impeachment memorials against Tang Ru were slowly and continuously sent to the state capital.

It was only then that Lin Jinxiao learned that this talented and arrogant governor went to Changning County for several months and did not follow his instructions to appease the people. Instead, he continued to shield Han Zhen and his gentry, severely suppressed dissident nobles, and murdered and impeached Han Zhenyi. Party officials, this made the people's grievances boil even more, and the riots in various places continued to rise for several months, which greatly increased the power of the brothers Liao Cheng and Liao Pushi.

Fortunately, everything is under his control. Now that Tang Ru has lost power, he said that the state capital is staying behind, but in fact he is just a idle job. After the situation in the state capital has been completely pacified, he can plan to welcome back Chu Nanzhi's mother and son when he is in power. something happened.

Right now, he no longer has any worries, and by taking advantage of his expedition to Changning County, he pretended to have a leg problem again, and called her old apprentice Qian Hongwen to the palace to see him every day according to Chu Nanzhi's orders.

Tang Ru wanted to find out about his condition, but with his current status, he had no face to enter the palace again, so he had to secretly send Chang Shi Songliao and Captain Sili to the palace to find out about Lin Jinxiao's situation.

From the two of them, I learned that Qian Hongwen was always frowning when he entered the palace every day. He knew that Lin Jinxiao might have aggravated his condition due to his personal expedition to Changning County, so he began to plan how to deal with him while secretly delighted.

Right now, King Qinghe is in the middle of the capital, and his father went to the land of Qinghe to take charge of the army. Tang Ru guessed that his brother-in-law would not be willing to return to the fief just like this. He must do something, otherwise he would not let his father take over out of Beijing.

Lin Jinke brought 30,000 people into Beijing, and what Tang Ru could think of was forcing the palace.

At this time, he had to stay in Pingning Prefecture to cooperate with his brother-in-law in doing something, and he must not just watch Lin Jinxiao become more and more stable in the state capital.

After thinking about it day and night in the mansion for a long time, he finally thought of a way to win the game: assassinate Lin Jinxiao, follow his method of capturing Liao Cheng, and make this poor settlement disappear completely.

As long as he is dealt with and regains control of the overall situation of Pingning Prefecture, there will be no worries for my brother-in-law to ascend to the big position.
