Fan Jingwen, who was originally excited and angry, suddenly had a very special feeling, and the conversation with the old man made him have to start facing his inner game, some things are useless if they don't admit it, why is there such a situation in this place in Zhejiang, in fact, these businessmen and ordinary people are supporting Su Tiancheng, not to mention the gentry and wealthy households, even ordinary people, when their lives are stable, they heard that someone rebelled and was characterized as a thief by the imperial court, and they all avoided it. Who would think of going to the thief, unless there is a problem with the head, but the situation in Zhejiang is different, it can be seen that the situation in Fujian is estimated to be similar, and the biggest problem revealed here is that Su Tiancheng has received the support of the people, and even the support of some officials.

All the actions of Liu Zeqing's army, Fan Jingwen completely believed what the old man said, such a situation is not unusual, when the Liukou was exterminated, the armies of various places were not the same as exploiting the people, at that time, the imperial court could not take out the food and salary, and could only watch the troops from all over the country kill the good and take the merits, and then when they fought with the Houjin Tartars, this situation was even worse, and some people even killed the people and pretended to be the Houjin Tartars to ask for merit and rewards.

But Fan Jingwen also has a puzzle, that is, the extermination of the Houjin Tartars was finally completed by the Jiangning battalion led by Su Tiancheng, and the Jiangning battalion did not kill the good and risky work, and the people did not harass the people, and in the process of fighting against the Houjin Tartars, the Jiangning battalion was even more invincible, and after occupying Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places, not to mention that they did not harass the people. Even the Manchurians who lived in these places were not liquidated. When such a situation arises, it cannot be summed up in terms of the matter of food and wages.

Fan Jingwen suddenly felt that even if he saw Su Tiancheng, he might be very powerless to say something.

He made up his mind to have a good talk with Wu Weiye and Yan Zizhang. To say that Wu Weiye and Yan Zizhang, the relationship between the two and Su Tiancheng is very good, and they also accept many of Su Tiancheng's views and thoughts, some of which Fan Jingwen thinks are completely correct, for example, the people-oriented, the rulers of all dynasties have emphasized this point of view, but unfortunately there are too few people who can really do this.

In a village not far from the official road. Fan Jingwen stayed, they stayed in the homes of ordinary people, did not go to the official post, and came out along the way to receive them by Li Juesi, the governor of Zhejiang, and the rest of the time, they basically did not trouble the government.

"Wu Weiye, Yan Zizhang, the old man wants to have a good talk with you today. You are all still young, about the same age as Su Tiancheng. It's comparable, and the old man also knows that the relationship between you and Su Tiancheng is very good, and it is for this reason that you have been implicated, and the old man's approach to Jinyiwei and Dongchang. is also very dissatisfied, I specially made a statement to the emperor, and the old man also hopes that you can tell the truth today, what do you think of Su Tiancheng, the old man must first declare. No matter how much credit Su Tian made to establish it, the rebellion was wrong. ”

Yan Zizhang looked at Wu Weiye and spoke first.

"What the lord means, the lower official understands, but the lower official has a saying, after saying it, don't blame the adult."

"If you have anything to say in this farmhouse today, the old man is going to discuss with you, and it doesn't matter if you argue."

"Well, since my lord has made a statement to the emperor, has the situation in the capital been improved, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are rampant, I don't know how many officials in Lu Dao have suffered unjustified disasters, not only in the capital, Nanzhili, and the official governments everywhere, almost everyone is in danger, when can this kind of behavior be stopped, such things have happened in the imperial court, more than once, what is this for."

"The interaction between Xiaguan and Master Su has indeed been many years, but when I first started the relationship, I went to Henan for disaster relief, at that time, Xiaguan was also arrogant, and he was not very harmonious with Lord Su, but later the facts convinced that the lower officials were convinced, and the method that Lord Su came up with can solve the problem of famine in Henan to the greatest extent."

"The conversation between the adults and the old man, the lower officials all heard it, Liu Zeqing led an army of 100,000 and stationed in Jiaxing, and the imperial court already had a will, asking Liu Zeqing to lead the army to exterminate the Jiangning battalion, but Liu Zeqing did not act for a long time, but connived at the army to enter Huzhou and Hangzhou and other places to raise the so-called food and salary, and the Jiangning battalion has already occupied Ningbo, Shaoxing and Taizhou and other places, I don't know when Liu Zeqing will wait until he will start the war, will he wait until all the people are stripped clean, and wait until his own wealth is countless, Just start the conquest. ”

"The situation in Ningbo, Shaoxing and Taizhou, the lower officials are not clear, these places are occupied by the Jiangning camp, but the lower officials can analyze from the situation they see, the people in these places are stable, on the contrary, the people in Hangzhou and other places controlled by the imperial court, the common people can't sit still, and they want to move their families to Shaoxing and other places, isn't this a joke, if the court hears such behavior, they must think that these people are bandits, and they want to take refuge in Lord Su."

"Xiaguan heard about the situation in Shandong, but unfortunately there was no chance to take a look, this time I thought that I would follow the adults, I could go to Shandong to see, Xiaguan was also curious, so many victims, Shandong with its own strength, how can it be appeased, when Lord Su first relieved the victims, there was no rebellion, the ridiculous thing is that the government in Zhejiang, Fujian and Nanzhili and other places, not only did not help these victims, but also collected taxes, and sent them all to Shandong, in this case, what will the people think, These victims are also the people of my Ming Dynasty, when the Liukou rebelled, the emperor and the court thought that the Liukou was originally the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they could take measures to appease them, but in the face of these disasters, why is there such an attitude. ”

"Xiaguan's own experience, I didn't think about it so much, but Xiaguan saw some problems from his own experience, Master Su used to be an official in Jiangning County, Henan Mansion, Shaanxi Province and Liaodong, so many places, must have been in contact with a lot of officials, the imperial court is now coming to liquidate these officials, isn't it going to force all the officials in these places to project Lord Su."

"As for the achievements of Lord Su in governing these places, Xia Guan doesn't want to say more, presumably the Lord is also clear, Xia Guan once went to Shaanxi to see, the situation in Shaanxi is very different from when the rogue was rampant, the people of Shaanxi still remember Lord Su, if the Lord thinks that Xia Guan is lying, you can ask Lord Wu."

Yan Zizhang said so much in one breath, and the meaning he wanted to express was basically clear.

Wu Weiye didn't say so much, what he wanted to say, Yan Zizhang basically said it, when he returned to the capital from Shaanxi, Wu Weiye was not very comfortable.

"My lord, what Lord Yan said is true, Shaanxi is still implementing the rules formulated by Lord Su, Shaanxi has revoked the health office, and the land is basically assigned to the peasant households, in this process, it is necessary to curb land annexation, so that food production is guaranteed, the government must pay attention to farmland and water conservancy matters every year, solve the drought and flood disasters to the greatest extent, and never allow the burden of the people to be raised at will, and would rather live a tight life in the government than harass the people. Shaanxi has been very stable in recent years, and the situation of the rogue in those years cannot continue to appear in Shaanxi. ”

Fan Jingwen's face was a little pale, in fact, the words Yan Zizhang and Wu Weiye said had been impacting his heart, he understood many things, and there was not much confusion, but there was one of the most important contradictions, which made him uneasy, that is, once Su Tiancheng seized the world, what should the emperor do, what should the court do, changing the dynasty is not as simple as it says, and the Ming Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, and the emperor is in an orthodox position, how can he say that he will be overthrown.

If this major problem is not solved, Fan Jingwen will never be able to get out of the strange circle.

He still knows Su Tiancheng, and he has been in contact with a lot, to say that Su Tiancheng has been thinking about rebellion since the beginning, it is impossible, in fact, over the years, Su Tiancheng has suffered a lot of plots, but he has endured it silently, but unfortunately the law of history, Su Tiancheng and the emperor can not avoid it, as Su Tiancheng's power becomes stronger and stronger, the emperor cannot rest assured, and the danger of the high merit is even greater than the danger of the Houjin Tartar.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Su Tiancheng to wait for death.

Fan Jingwen suddenly had doubts about his behavior, he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, he was a little reluctant to enter Shaoxing Mansion, worried that what he saw would shake his confidence.

Fan Jingwen didn't speak, and Yan Zizhang spoke again.

"My lord, the lower officials think that it is better to go to Shaoxing, Taizhou and even Ningbo Mansion to see how the situation is......"

Fan Jingwen shook his head.

"The old man came to Zhejiang to shoulder the mission, as for the situation along the way, it is okay to see it, if he can return to the capital smoothly, the old man will report to the emperor."

Yan Zizhang and Wu Weiye had no expression on their faces, Fan Jingwen's answer, as they expected, they also understood that Fan Jingwen was very upright, even if Su Tiancheng's ability was outstanding, even if Su Tiancheng was sympathetic to the people, I am afraid that Fan Jingwen's views would not change fundamentally.

When he set off again, Fan Jingwen sped up his trip, and when he entered the jurisdiction of Shaoxing Mansion, it was particularly smooth, and he didn't even see the sergeant guarding the official road, which can indeed show that Shaoxing Mansion is stable, there is no chaos in the war, hearing is false, seeing is believing, all this situation has not touched Fan Jingwen and others, it is impossible, at this time, what they thought of was that all these facts, even if they were reported to the emperor, what would be the consequences, maybe they were regarded as Su Tiancheng's comrades, and suffered the most severe punishment.
