Juye County fell, and the imperial court did not have any willingness to negotiate, and there was no possibility of negotiation. From the moment Juye County was "captured", there were only two ways for those unlucky people in the city.

One is to fight to the death, and the other is to "beg to surrender".

But the head of the march sent out to quell the rebellion this time was the secretary of the ministry.

"Begging"? What a fart......

Hou Junji, who was "ordered to be in danger", has been with a black face since he took over the errand. How much money did the Hou family invest in the Eastern Capital, and the emperor didn't have a lot in his heart? The Hou family organized many spicy ball games, and there were no fewer people in the royal family to watch them? At this juncture, let Hou Junji run to Shandong and Henan with a large army to kill him, so can he still have a good reputation?

Foreigners hate him Hou Junji, that can't even hurt a hair, but he still wants to fatten the people of Henan in Shandong, but he hasn't seen how it is, he will go up with a knife, and the Hou family will basically say goodbye to the bicycle in Henan Road.

"Hou Gong, now that you are the official of the six departments, it is particularly important to rectify the rule of officials, how can it be ...... How could Hou Gong go to Henan to quell the rebellion? This...... It doesn't make sense. ”

"There is nothing that makes no sense, the Luguo clan is prosperous, and it is easy to say that the east and west capitals are the northern and southern capitals, and the properties are full of assets. Your Majesty is eloquent, how can he allow the story of the old Longxi clan to be revived again? ”

The staff of the Guogong Mansion are not fools, and they can still grasp the general direction. It's just that he can't be sure of the emperor's thoughts and the direction of the foreign dynasty, and the relationship between Hou Junji and civil officials is extremely bad, and when he took office earlier, he didn't do what the emperor hinted about, which caused the emperor to be unhappy, which is not an uncommon thing.

There was a young descendant among the staff, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a piece of Jiangnan green jade on his head, arching his hand, and after saluting several seniors, he said to Hou Junji, who was drinking stuffy tea with a straight face: "Hou Gong, the six departments sit in the hall and are officials, and when the Wude Dynasty is in the Wude Dynasty, it may indeed be expensive." But in the Zhenguan Dynasty, it was much worse......"

As soon as these words came out, Hou Junji's face changed, and the power of Zhenguan Dynasty was greatly reduced, and the reason for the great increase in the emperor's power was clear. And he is one of the people who plotted to lead to the current situation, the "Xuanwu Gate" incident, although Hou Junji and others succeeded in plotting and indeed becoming an official, but the sequelae are also quite serious.

The increase in the power of the monarch and the decrease in power are also the fundamental reasons why Li Shimin was able to grit his teeth and persevere during the flood, drought and locust plague in Zhenguan 123, even if the Turks, the family, and the martial meritorious heroes joined forces to agitate.

After things bottomed out, the already powerful king, with almost unhindered authority, could be said to be unscrupulous. The only force that can challenge the monarchy is not in the system, but outside the system, which is also quite a comical reality.

Fang Mou Du cut off Wei Chi Changsun, no one can check and balance Li Shimin, even Wei Zheng, who is the best at admonishing, is just watching the dishes, and when it comes to "re-establishing feudalism" and "rebuilding Luoyang" and other things, Wei Zheng has no use at all.

"It's okay for Jiuro to be blunt."

Hou Junji put down the teacup and looked at the young man.

"I went down from the Eastern Capital and reversed, and I met the son of Li Liangzhou once. Combined with the atmosphere of Naoli and the current situation of Zhuzhou and counties in Henan Province, I boldly guessed that the fall of Juye was afraid that someone deliberately embarrassed His Majesty. ”

"What?!"

One exclaimed, "Take one of the counties to embarrass the emperor?!" ”

"Chapter 9, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Jiu nodded slightly, but he was not in a hurry to refute: "Gentlemen, listen to me and ask: Juye County, is it really Shang County?" How much is its tax, and how much is it endowed? ”

Everyone was stunned, and the smart ones reacted immediately, frowning slightly, but still nodding their beards: "Yes, if you use the performance of the old year, there are hundreds of thousands of Dingkou in Juye County, and it is indeed Shangxian County." However, if you talk about taxes, I am afraid that it is not as good as a shop in Chang'an West City. ”

"Earlier, Cui's attack was just a strong outsider, why? Nothing more than anachronism. However, please think about it carefully, if the Cui family's Xuzhou Sixth Room is in trouble, how can it let the mere 'militia' gain power? Nowadays, there are many 'militia groups' in Xuzhou, known as 'united township soldiers', who are 'loyal to the monarch' and 'patriotic' when they open their mouths. ”

"Cui Hongdao has a girl, who is in Chuzhou, and the eldest prince told Hou Gong about this matter, so I let me know."

Hou Wending has a very good personal relationship with Zhang De, and he is upright, not as ambitious and cunning as Hou Junji. The gentleman intersected with each other by heart, but let Hou Junji get a lot of unknown news.

"Among the 'militia groups' in Xuzhou, the most combatant is surnamed Zhang Songhai."

One by one, they peel off the cocoons and place them out, which suddenly makes people think about it.

Someone subconsciously asked: "Could it be Zou Guogong'......?"

"No, Zou Guogong is still a colt after all."

"Jiulang, let's just say what you have in your heart."

Zhang Jiu nodded slightly, and then looked at Hou Junji: "Hou Gong, the matter is still in the matter of 'Li Jin'." His Majesty wants to be worth one out of a hundred, but he is not willing to use the name of 'commercial tax', so as not to be attacked by others for 'competing with the people for profit'. Originally, this matter was thought to be just a big loss to the businessman. It's just that today's business name is very different from the old days. Injuries abound. ”

"Yes, the people of Juye County form business groups, and most of them respect those who are famous, and then borrow debts from friends and friends in neighboring counties. And because of Yang Xu and King Zheng, they can also be slightly connected with the magnates of the two capitals. Baigou is also into Luogan Canal, which was originally the foundation of wealth, but this time, it is too bad. ”

"It's not just that, there are many farmers in Juye County, and most of these farmers belong to the Shandong Shi clan. The large one is more than 100,000 acres, and the small one is 35,000 acres. Regardless of Cui Lu, Wang Zheng Zhu and others......, "A middle-aged scribe was suddenly stunned when he said this, "Could it be that someone wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”

"Why?"

Zhang Jiu also recognized with a face, and solemnly said to Hou Junji, "Hou Gong, it is indeed very likely that someone borrowed the emperor's knife to kill the people of the Shandong Shi clan." The fall of Juye has already humiliated the emperor, and it involves 'Li Jin', and among the discerning people, it is the responsibility of 'competing with the people for profit', but for the people, it is a disaster. ”

"That'...... How about the old man's trip? Kill, or ...... Teased? ”

"Don't be appeased!"

Half of the staff members shouted out, "Regardless of the emperor or the one who uses the strategy of 'borrowing a knife to kill', if the prince is appeased, I am afraid that both sides will be evil." Therefore, Hou Gong not only wants to kill, but also kills ruthlessly! ”

"If it's just killing, what's so difficult?"

Hou Junji's face was disdainful.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Jiu hurriedly said: "Hou Gong, it's not difficult to kill people, but how to kill people is to think about it." Hou Gong might as well order someone to go to Liaodong quickly, find the eldest prince, and let the eldest prince return to Beijing and go to Chuzhou! The worst is to go to Luoyang! ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Since Hou Gong is a knife, he has to get some hard-earned money for killing!"

When Hou Junji heard this, he immediately high-fived, "The one who entered the mother, what he said is also that he is a sincere person like the old man!" Both horizontally and vertically want to kill people and do evil, so they have to make a profit! That kid in Chuzhou will not be able to escape the involvement! ”

At this time, in Hanyang City, Chuzhou, Lao Zhang received a letter from Li Fengjie, and after reading it, he was stunned: "Fuck me down, and it's not Lao Tzu who let the people in Juye County rebel, why should I go to the court with Du Ruhui?" ”
