Staff member Peng Mao thought that the general was joking, although he knew that the general generally didn't joke, he hoped it was just a joke.

However, Shi Podang is not a person who can turn big things into small things.

He's a guy who makes a big deal out of a small thing.

But he's not stupid.

Shi Podang has never been stupid, his rude, barbaric and even unreasonable appearance doesn't know how many people he has deceived, he really thought that he would be played to death if he was stupid, and Shen Leng asked Geng Pohai to come to him instead of writing a handwritten letter to the Lord of Xishu Daofu, because Shen Leng knew him too well.

Before entering Chang'an City, Chen Ran couldn't help but ask: "General, General Shi is so violent, you let Geng Pohai go to him, and he didn't bring troops to surround the Changhu County Guard's Mansion?" If the soldiers really besieged the yamen of the local government, it would be a big trouble. ”

Shen sneered and replied: "If I write a letter to the Daofu of Xishu Dao, with my current weight, the Daofu of Xishu Dao, Lord Liu Chengzhi, will definitely not be careless, and will naturally appease Geng Pohai, and will also order Changhu County to return all the arrears as soon as possible, but then it is really a big matter to turn a small matter, the Daofu of Xishu Dao will not let such a scandal spread, I write to him, he will think that I sold him a favor, of course, he will not tell His Majesty about this matter." ”

Shen Leng said: "Think about it, if I write a letter to him, his way of dealing with it is the least costly, disposing of a few irrelevant officials, and the blame is put on these insignificant people, and then I will write to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will look at it, hmm...... It's just a few small officials, the county guard and others of Changhu County are at most a crime of negligence, demotion, fines, and at most dismissal, and if it is found out that this is something that everyone in Changhu County knows and participates in, then it is not just such a light punishment, it will kill people, and many people will die. ”

"Immortality is not enough to shock the dynasty, not enough to appease the people, and not enough to sue Tianwei."

He glanced at Chen Ran and continued: "If you think about it, if I write a letter to the Xishu Dao Provincial Government, and I report this matter to His Majesty after I return to Beijing, of course he will hate me...... The main thing is, I write to him, does he understand? My handwriting has also been passed on, and many people know that my handwriting is ugly, thanks to it. ”

Chen Ran covered his face: "What does the general mean, is it to let the Lord of the Xishu Dao Mansion hate Shi Podang?" ”

"I can't hate it."

Shen Leng: "General Shi Yuanxiong is still in Chang'an, although Your Majesty has not yet issued an order to remove him from the position of General of the Wolf Ape, but this matter has been decided and cannot be changed, in order to appease Shi Yuanxiong, Your Majesty will not be too embarrassed for him if Shi Po breaks out, besides...... You think I'm asking Shi Podang to get into trouble, but Shi Podang must be very happy, he's not a stupid person, never has been. ”

Chen Ran didn't understand it anymore: "The more the general talks about me, the more confused I become." ”

Shen Leng explained: "When Shi Po first arrived at Xishu Road, how did he stand firm? He is now completely available and there is no doubt that the only thing he brought is the pro-military camp he brought, adding up to only a few hundred people, I give him a chance to stand up, if he doesn't catch him, will he still break the stone? By making trouble, one can be angry for the aggrieved old group to solve the matter, and the other can let Shi Podang quickly establish prestige in Xishu Road, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"This matter is done well, the people will support him, and the soldiers of the Gengzi battalion will be extremely convinced of him, because he is willing to contribute to the soldiers, even at the cost of offending the Taoist Daocheng, and not hesitating to anger His Majesty."

Shen sneered: "I wrote to the Xishu Daofu Liu Cheng Zhi can naturally solve this matter, but the symptoms are not cured, Daning's officials have to rip off a piece of the bad one, instead of covering it with a piece of cloth as if nothing happened, covering the fig leaf, can't cover the shame, write to Shi Podang, he has a knife in his hand, he can."

Rip off the rotten piece...... Besides, you also underestimated Shi Podang, he is really not a reckless man, he will not besiege Changhu County as you think. ”

Chen Ran: "Then what will he do?" ”

Shen Leng looked at the gate of Chang'an City, which was close at hand: "Soon you will know." ”

He smiled and said: "That guy has been pretending to be a rough man, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and no one plays better than him." ”

Shi Po really didn't have soldiers to surround the Changhu County Guard.

He besieged the Yamen of the Daofu of Xishu Daofu Liu Chengzhi.

In his opinion, the county guard of Changhu County is too small, although it is also a third grade, but he doesn't care about it.

Thousands of Gengzi battalion soldiers tremblingly surrounded the Daofu Yamen, this crime is big, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rebellion, the Daofu, is a feudal official, he is the biggest in this way, representing not only the official position, but also the majesty of His Majesty, which is the Taoist Mansion chosen by His Majesty.

So except for Shi Podang's personal soldiers, every soldier was afraid.

"Listen, y'all."

Shi Podang climbed to the top of the building opposite the yamen of the Taoist government, wearing iron armor and holding a horsewhip: "Do you know why I brought you here?" Do you know why you are surrounding the yamen of the Taoist Lord? Lao Tzu is a rough man, he doesn't know much, he only knows that the Daofu is the biggest in this Xishu Dao, and he is the biggest, so we have to find him to call the shots for our comrades...... Those veteran regiments have endured hardships, suffered hardships, shed blood, and fought hard for the country! ”

His voice suddenly rose: "Your Majesty treats us soldiers well, the imperial court allocates funds, and everyone can settle down to live, but now, the group of magistrates up and down Changhu County have deducted the retirement silver of retired veterans, and even the pension silver of the dead soldiers They dare to swallow it, so they are not afraid of being struck by lightning?!" ”

"Thunder didn't kill them, God didn't open his eyes...... Therefore, Lao Tzu can only bring you to ask for a meeting with the Taoist Lord, and ask the Taoist to come to the master for us and solve problems for our comrades! ”

He shook the horsewhip: "Many of you are natives of Xishu Dao, think about it, if this matter is not resolved, what will you do after you retire!" ”

He roared loudly: "It's still the same sentence, Lao Tzu is a rough person, he knows who is the biggest to find who to take care of this matter, the Taoist lord doesn't care, do you dare to follow Lao Tzu to Chang'an City in one breath, let's go to Weiyang Palace to sue the emperor!" ”

"Dare!"

"Dare!"

"Dare!"

The courage of thousands of soldiers was ignited.

The generals are not afraid, what are they afraid of?

If Your Majesty really surrenders, the first person to be punished is the general, and the general ignores all this, and just wants to stand up for the aggrieved old regiments, how can they not be moved, how can they not be enthusiastic.

In the yamen of the provincial government.

The beard of the Taoist Liu Orange was almost exploded, and the phosgene was just that, and it was still urgent.

"Listen, listen, he has come to ask me to be the master for them?"

Walking back and forth in the yard, his steps were very urgent, and Liu Chengzhi scolded as he walked: "I have long heard that Shi Podang is a reckless man, and his father, the general Shi Yuanxiong, and I are still old acquaintances, that is a person with such a temperament, how could he give birth to such a reckless son." ”

"My lord, or send someone to rush out, report this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible, and ask Your Majesty to treat him!"

"Yes, I don't believe that he really dared to commit murder."

"My lord, this is being bullied by him to the doorstep."

"He is a soldier general, and he is a third-grade soldier, but he is besieging the Daofu, this is to raise troops to rebel."

“

My lord, I can't bear him, if this matter is caused by him, the prestige of Lord Xishu Dao will be lost in the future. ”

Listening to these words, Liu Chengzhi's heart became even more irritable, Shi Po was stupid, his subordinates were even more fucking stupid, he really didn't know about Changhu County, if he knew, he would have already done what to do, he didn't go along with it...... But this does not mean that he can sit back and relax without sin, which is enough to prove his inaction.

Dao Cheng Xiao Yuanhuai looked at Liu Chengzhi: "My lord, do you want me to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city?" ”

"Troop transfers?"

Liu Chengzhi glared at him: "They are stupid, and you are also stupid?" ”

Xiao Yuanhuai was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Liu Chengzhi.

"If you really mobilize the soldiers and the soldiers to confront each other, or even fight, then you really fell for Shi Podang's plan, and he wished that things would make a bigger fuss......"

Liu Chengzhi lowered his voice: "You come in with me." ”

Then he said loudly: "Don't go out for the time being, don't provoke that reckless man, he can do anything, you just think there is no one outside." ”

After finishing speaking, he strode into the study, and Daocheng Xiao Yuanhuai followed in.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Old Xiao, why can't you understand?"

Liu Chengzhi sat down, his face was already difficult to see: "I scolded Shi Podang in the courtyard for being a reckless man, he is really a reckless man?" I'm scolding, it's just for show...... He was indeed reckless, and if he had informed me of this in advance, would I have been able to sit idly by? But he didn't, why? Because he wants to stand up, he wants to stand firm in Xishu Road, and this time he makes a fuss, and he has the hearts of the army and the people. ”

He glanced at Xiao Yuanhuai: "Do you still want to mobilize the box soldiers to fight him?" Are you really not afraid of being poked in the backbone by the people? He is standing on the moral high ground, how to do it is good, at most His Majesty will scold him for being a reckless man, what else? If you really give the order, he will win the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people, and we will lose the hearts of the army and the people, besides, even if you give the order, do you think those veterans who have retired from the army will be willing to do it? Don't forget that they were all trained. ”

Xiao Yuanhuai's face also turned pale for a while: "Then what should I do, I can't just let him block it like this." ”

"Three things."

Liu Chengzhi spread out the paper on the table, picked up the pen and began to write: "You take the pen and paper and write, write immediately, you and I submit the resignation petition, you and I are already unforgivable in the matter of Changhu County, and now while the situation has not yet reached the point where His Majesty personally intervenes, you and I will ask for guilt first." ”

"Second, I'll go out to talk to Shi Podang later, and then you order the soldiers to go to Changhu County, don't let Shi Po do it first, mobilize all the manpower that can be mobilized, and take all the officials up and down Changhu County, there must be no one clean, let's do it and Gengzi Camp are two attitudes...... This attitude is for His Majesty, for the people of Xishu Dao, and for those soldiers. ”

"Third, after I'm done talking to Shi Podang, you come with me to the toast table."

Xiao Yuanhuai, who was already lifting the pen, paused for a moment: "What are you going to do at the toasting table?" ”

The toast table is a high platform on the central square of Daozhi Kaiyuan City, the square is very large, and the toast table is high enough.

"Plead to the people."

Liu Chengzhi looked at Xiao Yuanhuai: "Have you ever knelt down for the people?" ”

"I ......"

"It's time to kneel today."

Liu Chengzhi sighed: "Don't fantasize that this matter can be turned into a big thing and a small matter, and don't imagine that we can still sit firmly in the seat of Daofu Daocheng...... You fantasize that Your Majesty is sincere to you and me, and for the sake of you and me to make amends, and the sin is not as good as your family. ”()
