Chapter 24 Haoshou is diligent in government

(The first update, ask for a red ticket)

Qingzhou is located in the middle of Shandong, south of Linshan Mountain, north of Bohai Sea, Jinan city destroyed, county division is newly established in Qingzhou. The city of Qingzhou is not big, and four or five large yamen are stuffed in at once, and the garrison has also surged several times, and it is suddenly crowded, making this thousand-year-old city a little unbearable.

In the early morning fog, the walls that had not been repaired all year round showed signs of mutilation, and the stones of the stone streets were trampled smoothly, and the officials drove the people to the side of the road. Wearing a green armor and scarlet robe, and surrounded by hundreds of elite horsemen, Lin Lian slowly entered the city from the east gate, not caring about the eyes of the people on the side of the road or looking up or in awe or envy.

Tang Haoxin patrolled Shandong on behalf of the Son of Heaven and occupied a mansion in the east of the city.

Tang Haoxin stayed up late on business, and just fell asleep in the early morning. Lin Jian rushed to the Tang Mansion and did not let Ma Chao wake up Tang Haoxin, Tang Haoxin took on heavy responsibilities at a great age, it was not easy, he and Lin Mengde, Sun Jingtang and others waited for Tang Haoxin to wake up in the lobby with peace of mind.

After waiting for a while, the waiting maid brought tea and sent it over, and Lin Jian felt that the house was too deserted.

Tang Haoxin went from Beijing to Jinhai, and Ma Chao and four or five family members served him, and the same was true from Jinhai to Shandong. Such a big mansion, except for the more than 100 guards allocated by Shandong, is empty, not to mention the manpower of running errands and guards, or the manpower of transmitting and reporting news.

Thinking about the fact that when Qin Chengbo left Jiangning, he had thousands of people with his entourage, his family and his family, together with the cages and goods, loaded twelve or thirteen large ships, and when he went north, tens of thousands of people gathered to gather in the sky and watch on both sides of the Shiliang River, Tang Haoxin's reputation in this regard was much better than that of most of the officials of the Dayue Dynasty.

Lin Mengde and Lin Jian exchanged glances, some words were inconvenient to talk about casually in the Tang Mansion, and the meaning in Lin Mengde's eyes was also obvious, Tang Haoxin could summon too few people.

***********

When the Qingzhou Army mutinied, Chen Debiao, the governor of Shandong, stabbed Liu Yefei in the back without hesitation, and gave Lin Tie a credit charm to make him use troops in Shandong, but after suppressing the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army, Chen Debiao did not show how affectionate he was to Tang Haoxin. Ge Zufang is a mediocre and incompetent official, and he has no power in Shandong, but he is very stubborn, but it is of little use.

Tang Haoxin used the ambassador to know the affairs of Qingzhou and took charge of the military and political power in Shandong, except for the promotion of Zhang Jinxian and Du Juefu to strengthen the control of the grain transportation of the Jiaolai River, there were no more trustworthy people who could be promoted to Ren as a confidant.

This cannot but be said to be Tang Haoxin's biggest short handle.

Chen Tangyi was defeated, the Son of Heaven was furious, and the officials of the Western Qin Party who were responsible for this were either demoted or questioned in the court, and there was no one in ten, and the Chu Party took advantage of the situation to rise, and Tang Haoxin had the opportunity to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. First, because of his age and health, and secondly, his two sons are Adou who can't be supported, Gu Wuchen has just returned to Beijing after a ten-year career, and he doesn't look like he can quickly rise to inherit his political prestige, so Tang Haoxin pushed the student Zhang Xie to the stage.

After all, Zhang Xie is a student he has cultivated for many years, and the inheritance of political assets and the development of political assets by his proud protégé can be regarded as a good story worth passing on.

Even for the sake of his reputation behind him, Tang Haoxin deliberately lived in simplicity and humble words on weekdays, and in his spare time, he took books and speeches as his fun, and was unsociable.

In this way, all kinds of people within the Chu Party naturally gathered around Zhang Xie. Zhang Xie himself is in the prime of life, ambitious, and deliberately supports private individuals. In just two or three years, Zhang Xie was not only promoted to vice minister, further consolidating the power of the DPRK and China, but also completely replacing Tang Haoxin within the Chu Party.

The Qingzhou army mutinied, and the contradictions between Tang and Gu and Zhang and Yue were almost open, although Liu Yefei was completely defeated, but most of the officials within the Chu Party were surprisingly unanimous on Zhang and Yue's side, even if some people had not publicly expressed their position, Tang Haoxin did not dare to use it.

The split between Tang Gu and Zhang Yue came suddenly and violently. On the surface, Lin Lian led the Jiangdong Left Army north to Qinwang, and Yue Lengqiu's disagreement with Yue Lengqiu in Jinan because of the route of the march was the most direct factor causing the contradiction, and then the Jiangdong Left Army in Yannan fought four battles and won the first merit of Qinwang was the catalyst for the intensification of the contradiction, but there were no deeper reasons behind all this.

As for the deeper reasons behind it, Lin Lian, Lin Mengde, and Cao Ziang have all seriously analyzed and thought.

After the fiasco of Chen Tangyi, the Son of Heaven was furious, and the Western Qin Party did not lose power in the DPRK and China all at once, at least Chen Xinbo still steals the position of prime minister and does not fall. The most fundamental reason is that Li Zhuo, who was promoted by Chen Xinbo, has nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in Eastern Fujian, and is the most important foreign aid for Chen Xinbo and the Western Qin Party.

The luxury family saw the opportunity and surrendered, Li Zhuo was transferred to the Jiangning garrison, the elite of Eastern Fujian was divided, and Chen Zhihu's department was transferred to defend Yanshan, which made the Chu Party officially replace the Western Qin Party in the middle of the court. Chen Xinbo was still able to survive at this time, in addition to Li Zhuo's still high reputation in the government and the opposition, it was mainly the emperor's imperial tricks to restrict the Chu party.

As a matter of fact, Chen Xinbo has not done much in the DPRK and China.

It is impossible for Zhang Xie not to carefully examine the gains and losses of the Western Qin Party, and after the Chu Party gains power, it is not that Yue Lengqiu can serve as the governor if he wants to go to Eastern Fujian to serve as the governor, everything should be Zhang Xie's intentional arrangement.

Zhang Xie hoped that Yue Lengqiu would take charge of the military in other counties and form a power structure with him of "internal and external commanders and mutual assistance", so as to achieve the political goal of staying in the middle of the court for a long time and standing tall.

Zhang Xie may have been grateful to Tang Haoxin who cultivated him at first, but all the changes stemmed from Gu Wuchen's rise in Jiangning too fast, too fast, and too strong.

Gu Wuchen returned to the imperial capital after ten years of his wandering career, and in just two or three years, he was promoted to the rank of second-grade Guanglu doctor and the rank of bachelor. After Li Zhuo was transferred out of Jiangning, if Yue Lengqiu hadn't made up for it in time, no one in Jiangdong and Jiangning would be able to compete with Gu Wuchen.

The military talent shown by Lin Tie and the combat power shown by the Jiangdong Left Army and Dongyang Xiangyong are even more formidable, how can Zhang Xie not be afraid of the further rise of Gu Wuchen and the Lin clan in the process of suppressing Hong Zekou and Donghai Kou?

If you take a closer look at the relationship between Gu Wuchen and the Lin family, it is precisely the pattern of "being handsome inside and outside, and supporting each other".

At this time, the power of Gu Wuchen and the Lin clan was still far away in the outer counties of Jiangdong, and they looked weak, but once the Yanshan defense line completely collapsed and the imperial capital was forced to move to Jiangning, the power pattern formed by Gu Wuchen and the Lin clan would quickly rise to a pivotal height - Zhang Xie made a slight mistake, and it was not unimaginable to replace Gu Wuchen.

Even if he couldn't blatantly suppress Gu Wuchen and the Lin clan, even if he watched the Lin clan stretch out their tentacles to Jinhai on the side of the Gyeonggi couch, Zhang Xie would quickly push Yue Lengqiu to the position of Jianghuai governor to restrict the further development and growth of Gu Wuchen and the Lin clan in Jiangdong.

In fact, at this point, the contradiction between Tang Gu and Zhang Yue could no longer be concealed, especially Lin Jian showed an attitude of not agreeing and cooperating with Yue Lengqiu from the beginning.

Even if the emperor's transfer of Li Zhuo to the head of the army and Chen Xinbo's phase had a tendency to be further stabilized, Zhang Xie still regarded Gu Wuchen as his most urgent threat.

In the face of the cruel and cold-blooded power struggle, the relationship between teachers and students is weak and weak.

This is also the fundamental factor for Tang Gu to be eager to marry the Lin clan and marry Gu Junxun to Lin Tie, Tang Gu can no longer bear the loss of the Lin clan to win over other families.

Lin Tie supported the troops to enter Shandong, even if there was a suspicion of "supporting the troops and being self-respecting, pampered and arrogant", Tang Haoxin would inevitably choose to support Lin Tie and support the Jiangdong Left Army.

Lin Jian held the teacup, thinking about how to persuade Tang Haoxin to take the initiative to move closer to Chen Xinbo and Li Zhuo.

After Tang and Gu split with Zhang and Yue, they only had the hole card of Jin Haicao in their hands, and the forces in the government and the opposition were too weak to form a countervailing force.

Lin Jian still wanted to help Li Zhuo implement the strategic concept of Pingyuce as much as possible; At this time, Yue Lengqiu enlisted Xiao Xuanchou to restrain Gu Wuchen within the Inspectorate Department, if Gu Wuchen could get Dong Yuan's support in Jiangdong, the situation would not be too passive.

*********

Lin Tie sat in the lobby thinking nonsense, Lin Mengde and Sun Jingtang chatted about some common things, and waited for an hour, Tang Haoxin woke up, pulled his clothes and walked out, while fastening his placket, he blamed Ma Chao: "When Lin Tie enters the city, you should wake me up, where is the reason for them to sit and wait for an hour?" If I knew that you were like this, I should have driven you back to Jiangning in the first place, so as not to delay the big event. ”

"Tang Gong, I insisted on not letting Ma Chao wake you up, if you want to complain, you still blame me," Lin Jian stood up and saluted Tang Haoxin, who strode in, and said, "At this juncture, no matter how important things are, they are not as important as your body!" ”

He didn't say anything about sycophancy, Tang Haoxin is already seventy years old, his hair is white, he is the prince and the prince, he goes in and out of the palace to assist in political affairs, and he can also cultivate himself, but at this time, Tang Haoxin is responsible for the mess in Shandong, and the Shandong County Division has been reorganized after it has been abolished, everything is complicated, and there is no stable system to rely on, it can be said that Tang Haoxin cares about everything, and Lin Haoxin is most worried that Tang Haoxin's body will not be able to bear it first.

Zhang Xie smashed the mess of Shandong into Tang Haoxin's hands, is there really no such sinister intention in it?

Tang Haoxin sighed lightly, when he was in Jinhai, he only controlled the overall situation, and everything was taken care of by Lin Xuwen, Lin Lian and others for him, and there was nothing to worry about, at this time it was very different, his body and energy were already greatly inferior to those when he was in Jinhai, and he also knew his own family affairs in his heart, but he had come to this point, and he could only grit his teeth and hold on anyway.

Tang Haoxin comforted Sun Jingtang a few words on the Changyi mutiny, and then talked to Lin Jian about Xiao Xuanchou.

In fact, at this time, Gu Wuchen's situation in Jiangdong was not very optimistic, and the rise of Dongyang Xiangyong also made Shen Rong, the prefect of Dongyang, and the army of Dongyang Mansion inevitably fall to Yue Lengqiu. Tang Haoxin also hoped that Lin Jian and the Jiangdong Left Army could return to Chongzhou as soon as possible, as long as the Jiangdong Left Army could gain a firm foothold in Chongzhou and continue the prestige formed by the Jiyang Bloody War in the local area, at least more forces in Jiangdong County could remain neutral for the time being.

"There's something I'm going to be cheeky to tell you." Tang Haoxin's face was full of wrinkles, he had slept for a while, he was still in good spirits, and he held his hands and talked to Lin Bin.

"Tang Gong is directly in charge." Lin Jian said.

"Of the more than 400 people detained in prison, you have to take them away this time, right?" Tang Haoxin said, "You ask them for me, if there are people who are willing to stay in Shandong, Shandong has their place." I plan to build a team of soldiers along the Jiaolai River to ensure the smooth flow of the Jiaolai River, and one person can be included in the team of soldiers, and once the period of exile is over, it is not unforeseen ......that the officials will be added to the ranks."

There are various kinds of exile punishments, such as liubian, confiscation of the army, and conscription, and the liuhai island is the stream, and being classified as a pawn can be counted as confiscating the army.

Lin Jian nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll help Tang Gong ask, I think there are many people who are willing to stay in Shandong." ”

Tang Haoxin saw that Lin Tie agreed simply, so he also promised to leave a group of people for him, looking at Sun Jingtang on the side with a look of only Lin Tie and obeying his orders, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart: Now that it is an eventful season, those who win people gain power, but how can they win people?

Thinking about him before, he thought that no one in the world could not be sacrificed, and he would never make such an arrogant thing as supporting troops to enter Shandong for the small Xihe Society.

There is no other reason to say this, only the Sun family and Xihe will believe that Lin Jian can protect their interests, and they will naturally follow each other.

This is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it.

Tang Haoxin single-handedly promoted the Qingzhou Army to mutiny, although it reached the overall situation of Shandong in one fell swoop, but the chaos of the army was a disaster for the place, and the regret was very fierce. Although all the blame is put on Liu Yefei's head, the local people are not without discerning people, which also makes it difficult to eliminate a layer of estrangement between local forces and Tang Haoxin. As soon as Xu Jianshen came to Shandong, many people took the initiative to hug his thighs, mainly because local forces were worried that Tang Haoxin would sacrifice local interests in order to protect his luck.

Tang Haoxin asked Lin Lian for his opinion on the resolution of the trial of the Changyi case, and seeing that Lin Lian had no opinion, he asked Ma Chao to give Xu Xuejian a reply, and sent 800 miles to the Beijing to speed up the work, and quickly deal with these things one by one, so that he could sort out the clues.

"There is one thing to tell Tang Gong," Lin Jian said, "When I was guarding Yangxin, some of the remnants of Shao Wu were assigned to the Jiangdong Left Army, and some of the Shao Wu generals stayed in Yangxin, this time among the five hundred township soldiers brought by Zhang Jinxian and Master Zhang, some officers were promoted from them, and they have a deep relationship with the Li Army, these things should be told to Tang Gong......

"Oh, I see, if I have talent, I'll use it." Tang Haoxin nodded and said, this kind of thing can't be talked about in depth now, I don't know the attitude of Chen Xinbo and Li Zhuo, and I have to find a middleman to contact him.

Lin Jian set up a banquet in the city at noon to invite Xiao Xuanchou, Xiao Xuanchou was a thief, and hurriedly used the banquet to leave.

In the afternoon, Lin Jian officially took Sun Jingxuan, Sun Wenyao and others from prison, nominally by the Jiangdong Left Army to be imprisoned and sent to the island outside the mouth of the Chongzhou River to be exiled to serve as a servant.

In addition to the Xihe Society, there were also 21 other river gangs with a total of more than 120 congregations, mainly from the River Gang in Jiangning and nearby areas.

In order to ensure that the Jiangning River Gang forces were not defeated all at once, the responsibility for the Changyi mutiny was mainly borne by the Xihe Society, and Liu Yefei collected mainly the evidence of the Xihe Society and the Sun family in the first few days, and also provided conditions for protecting other River Gang forces. Except for the two river gang forces that committed murder in the Changyi mutiny, more than ten people were sentenced to exile and imprisonment together with the Sun family and others, and the other nineteen families were all punished as not guilty, and dragged Lin Jian to Qingzhou to be released again, which was to give Lin Jian a sufficient favor.

At the banquet, Lin Lian said for Tang Haoxin that he would take in some of the people to stay in Shandong.

The Sun family is Tiexin and Lin Tie went to Chongzhou; Lin Jian didn't want the Sun family to stay, lest Tang Haoxin suspect that he intended to reach out to the Jiaolai River Transporters, and at this time, they had to be more united.

The vast majority of the Xihe Society are from Shanxihe and Donghe, and although they are grateful to Lin Lian, after the dissolution of the Xihe Society, everyone has to consider the actual survival of themselves and their families, and they feel that staying in Shandong is also a good choice.

In addition to the more than 100 people who were acquitted, among the more than 300 people who were in exile or prison, there were 40 or 50 people who were willing to stay in Shandong and serve their sentences.

Lin Jian discussed with Sun Jingxuan and Sun Jingtang that as long as Tang Haoxin was willing to accept it, they could also let some ordinary members of the Xihe Society stay in Shandong.

While dealing with these trivial matters in Qingzhou, while waiting for the imperial court to make a final decision on the Changyi case, but on the night of April 6, Lin Jian suddenly received an urgent report from Fu Qinghe from Chongzhou in Qingzhou: Donghai Kou landed on the night of April and invaded Chongzhou!
