Chapter 116: The Yanzhou Incident – Analysis
When Yun Xi came to the post station, Chen Xing and the others were indeed already waiting at the post station. www.biquge.info Yunxi immediately lined up with his guards to go through the formalities.
Yun Xi noticed that this post man was very serious. Although this era is not like later, officials can live at the post station at will, and the retinue is all free; However, it is normal for officials in the past, especially military generals, to carry a few personal companions, and generally post stations are also free of charge.
But the postman insisted on checking all the people's identification, and checking that the number of people was correct before letting them in.
Yun Xi couldn't help but have a good impression of him: the Celestial Empire lacks such serious and serious people, even in the 21st century, many people still think that others are more honest and sick, and these "many people" Yun Xi thinks they are stupid.
Yun Xi then asked, "What's your name?" ”
The man's face remained unchanged, and his expression did not change, but he said clearly: "Gao Jining." ”
Yun Hee silently wrote down the name in his heart.
Then Yun Xi walked into the room arranged for him, and Chen Xing and the others hurriedly followed.
Yun Xi sat down and said to Chen Xing, "What is the news you heard outside the city?" ”
Chen Xing said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the ministers asked the old farmer, but the old farmer was reluctant to speak at first. We had to ask many people about it, and only then did one of them tell us the truth. He said: "We were originally the owners of the land, but the year before last, the people from the Lu Wangfu suddenly said that His Royal Highness King Lu had too little land in the imperial estate, and wanted to divide all our land into the imperial estate. ’”
"'Of course we didn't want to, and we went to the county government and the government to complain, and we begged repeatedly. I even have to fight with them. But they were so powerful that we couldn't fight them when we got together, and several people were killed, and we had no choice but to obey. ’”
Yun Xi asked a few more questions, and then let them all go out, leaving only Qi Tai, Guo Zhen and Qin Song, the three subordinate officials of the East Palace, and the most trusted guards Yang Feng and Chen Xing in the house.
Qi Taixian said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Lu is in the capital, and His Royal Highness King Lu is only seven years old this year, it is impossible to act like this, it must be done by the people below in his name." ”
Guo Zhen said: "Zuo Shuzi's statement is good, and the minister also thinks that the people below are pretending to be in the name of His Royal Highness King Lu." Now because His Royal Highness King Lu is in the capital, and the subordinate officials of the palace are also in the capital, the minister feels that it must be the command of King Lu Sanwei. These two commanders were the most trusted generals of His Royal Highness King Lu Huang during his lifetime, and they actually acted like this after King Lu Huang was killed. ”
Qi Tai said again: "Didn't the people in the city say that there is a long history of the Lu Palace? The minister remembered that King Lu was a native of Shandong, and he might have colluded with them. However, now we can't investigate the long history of King Lu, so we can only write a note and send it to the capital for His Majesty to deal with. ”
After a pause, Qi Tai said again: "If Your Highness wants to deal with this matter, although Your Majesty has given Your Highness the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, it must be that the evidence is rigorous and irrefutable. After two days, His Highness's car will arrive in Yanzhou, and His Highness will be able to find the person who said these words today, and the guards around His Highness will definitely be able to let them speak, and then the evidence will be ironclad. ”
"In addition, it is necessary to carefully investigate whether it is the officials of Lu Wang Sanwei who are involved. There are so many generals in Sanwei, it can't be like this. It's just that these people who are not involved are also known and not reported and will be punished. ”
Yang Feng had more contact with the lower-class people, and his cousin was the princess and was not afraid of offending the subordinate officials of the East Palace, so he said: "Your Highness, Lord Qi, if it were just us who came forward, the people might not believe that they would not be retaliated against in the future, unless it was certain that all the people involved this time would be executed or exiled to the frontier; But Your Highness probably can't make such a promise in advance. ”
"So it's better for His Highness to come forward in person, and the people will definitely believe His Highness."
Yun Xi nodded, signaling Yang Feng to be thoughtful; Qi Tai and others also agreed. Then the crowd talked about the details for a while.
Seeing that they had thought everything through, Yun Xi felt that there was nothing more to say. But he always felt that something was overlooked. Then he saw Qin Song, who had not spoken, so he said, "Qin Song, do you think there is anything else to say?" ”
Qin Song said: "Just now I only talked about these officials of the Lu Palace, as well as the officials of Yanzhou!" These people are doing evil in the capital city of Yanzhou, how can the officials of Yanzhou not know? But has Your Highness seen the twists and turns of Yanzhou Mansion in the past two years? ”
Yun Hee suddenly realized! It turned out that they had forgotten about them. Even if the officials of Yanzhou Mansion don't dare to take care of it, they can do it.
Then Yun Xi said: "It is estimated that the car will not be able to reach Yanzhou City until the day after tomorrow." Tomorrow, those who can speak the Shandong dialect will go out to inquire about the situation; Qi Tai, you change into formal clothes tomorrow, saying that I am the leading official of Yanzhou, and I will go to Yanzhou Mansion and Ziyang County to talk to the local officials and talk to them. ”
Turning his head to Yang Feng, he said, "You, go and call Pu Shan." ”
After a while, Pu Shan came. Yun Xi said to him: "You will reveal your identity tomorrow, saying that it is my pioneer in Yanzhou, going to Lu Wang Sanwei to talk to the military generals, and pay attention to who of them is ostracized, do you know?" "Because Pu Shan has always been good at cleverness, and his identity is relatively valuable, so he handed over this matter to him.
Pu Shan's promise.
Yun Xi thought about it, there should be nothing else, so he said: "There is nothing else, it's getting late, let's rest early, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow." Qi Tai and the others agreed, and then saluted and went out one after another.
Wang Xi, who was guarding outside the door, saw that they all came out, and hurriedly went in to clean up the house and serve Yun Xi to rest.
============================================================
On the evening of the same day, just as Yunxi and the others were about to rest, in the backyard of the Ziyang County Ya, Ziyang County Commander Zou Ji sat opposite the man led by the big men he saw during the day, with a small bag in front of him.
The big man said, "Lord Zou, this is the ten taels of gold that were given to you last time. The goldsmith in Yanzhou City had passed away, and for a while he could not find a suitable goldsmith to smelt the gold; You only need gold, so I can only bring you the broken gold. You look back and say that if you miss a few bucks, you're looking for me. ”
Zou Ji picked up the bag and checked it, and said with a smile: "He Er, I still can't trust you." Alright, I don't have anything to do, you can go. ”
He Lao Er stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb your rest." After saying that, he turned around and left.
