At the beginning, Wang Xian went down to Guangling on a snowy night in the first month of the month, and subdued tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of sect members of the White Lotus Sect with only 10,000 horses.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages, he was forced by the situation, recklessly, only seeking a quick victory, although he subdued the Shanxi White Lotus Sect, but this huge organization has not been eliminated, and still exists among the hundreds of thousands of sect members. This made Zhu Zhanji's subsequent dismantling and digestion work difficult. Nearly half a year has passed now, and although those White Lotus Sectists have been moved out of Guangling's lair, and the army has been replaced with the banner of the official army, they still gather the crowd and refuse to disperse, spending a lot of money every day, and the contradictions with the local officials and people are getting worse day by day, and there is a danger of rebellion at any time.

Once these guys rebel again, not to mention the misery of Shanxi, Wang Xian can guess how the Han King and those people will attack Zhu Zhanji at that time, and they will say how the Taisun is incompetent and how he is stubborn, so that the White Lotus Sect who has already surrendered will change again. The reputation that Taisun has easily established will also be ruined.

Of course, the pit he dug himself had to be filled by himself, and in addition to official duties for a while, Wang Xian was also thinking about how to break the situation. After a lot of research, he had a plan in mind. This time, he discussed with Yan Qing all night, and seeing that the two coincided, Wang Xian finally made up his mind, and went home the next day to clear his father and mother, and appeased his wife, so he quietly went on the road with two hundred guards and Lingxiao, who was going to follow him alive and dead.

This time leaving Beijing is not a Qincha, naturally can not use the survey of the military department, but with Wang Xian's status today, along the way someone has already prepared horses, food and lodging, and the group of people Xiaoxing overnight, galloping north, six days into the Shanxi boundary.

The last time I came to Shanxi, it was still covered in snow, but this time, what I saw was the Loess Plateau with endless ravines and sparse vegetation. The last time I came to Shanxi, the sky was overcast and the lead blocks were hanging low, but this time it was high and the clouds were endless. The vast blue sky, allowing the white clouds to flow freely, also makes people's mood extremely open.

Lingxiao is the first time to see this kind of scene, happy like a bird out of the cage, urging the unlucky military horse under the crotch, up and down on the loess plateau, and singing the newly learned Shanxi folk song:

"Thirty-three buckwheat trees, nine bottoms and nine ridges.

Little sister, what's so good, people.

You take that foal of yours, you are at your sister's house,

The foal misses her mother, you miss your sister's home,

Buckwheat blossoms and is white on the top.

Little sister is single-minded, wait for your brother to come back......"

Lingxiao is always lively and jumpy, only when she sings will her delicate side be revealed, her singing voice is crisp and tactful, and she sings so that people's hearts are dripping with honey. But these big and rough people around Wang Xian don't know how to appreciate this beautiful folk song, and they always know the strange tone of the Tao and say: "Sister Lingxiao, which brother are you waiting for?" Wang Xian was speechless for a while.

But what made Wang Xian even more speechless was that Sister Lingxiao would yell at him: "Little Xianzi, they bullied me!" "Let him not be able to save face at all in front of his subordinates......

But other than that, the journey was still very pleasant, and before I knew it, I saw Gaoping County, the southernmost county in Shanxi. To Wang Xian's surprise, this place was almost the same as the last time, and it was still under close inspection.

However, when their men and horses appeared under the county seat, in addition to Zhou Zhixian, there were Xu Huaiqing and Xue Huan and others, as soon as they saw Wang Xian, they rode their horses and galloped forward, turned over and knelt on the ground, and saluted Wang Xian excitedly: "Military advisor!" ”

Wang Xian also turned over and dismounted, picked up a few people, and beat them heavily on the chest, Ha Luha smiled: "You guys have good food these days!" ”

Several people were immediately embarrassed when they heard this, they had almost nothing to do in Shanxi in the past six months, and they all showed some signs of fortune. The only exception is Xue Huan, his figure is still extremely standard, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sue them: "These guys feel that the establishment has also been solved, and the official position is also available, so they are naturally slack." ”

Everyone has been brothers for many years, and they all know that Xue Huan was a little nervous after his brother's death, and he didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he just changed the topic. Xu Huaiqing said with a smile: "Originally, Taisun was going to come in person, but Taiyuan really couldn't leave, so we could only take over the military division for him." ”

"My own brother, what's polite." Wang Xian was secretly frightened, and he couldn't imagine that the situation had reached the point where Taisun couldn't get out. But he said quietly: "Let's enter the city quickly." ”

"Yes, my lord, please get in the car quickly, and the lower officials will prepare a little thin wine in the yamen to catch the wind and wash the dust for the adults." Zhou Zhixian, who was standing in a panic on the side, nodded hurriedly and said, "Please also ask the adults not to remember the villain's mistakes, and give the lower officials a chance to make corrections." ”

"How?" Xu Huaiqing and the others immediately found the punching bag, grabbed Zhou Zhixian's collar and glared: "What did you kid do to our military advisor?" ”

"No, no," Zhou Zhixian was frightened, and hurriedly looked at Wang Xian as if asking for help: "Great, my lord, last time I was really in love, and it was the boss who didn't let me talk to the adult......"

Wang Xian was actually a little dazed, he was not a person who held grudges, if it weren't for Zhou Zhixian mentioning, he would have almost forgotten about last winter, he thought he was a fellow villager, and wanted to ask him for some news, but he didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Wang Xian didn't speak, Zhou Zhixian thought that he was really angry, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his legs were weak. Fortunately, Wang Xian's eyes were quick, and he held him up and said, "Lord Zhou, what are you doing here?" We have no grudges and no hatreds in the past, so why should I blame you? ”

Zhou Zhixian was powerless, and Wang Xian naturally couldn't kneel down, and a tangled face was full of expectation: "Adults really don't blame me?" ”

"Is that fake?" Wang Xianzhan smiled and said, "Come into the city, so many people are watching, what kind of official system do you have as a parent?" ”

"Yes, yes, please!" Zhou Zhixian also felt that Wang Xian was telling the truth, and there were only two taels of bones left in his body when he landed. The Ming Dynasty has only been founded for more than 40 years, and after another martyrdom, the status of military attachés is much higher than that of civilian officials, not to mention Wang Xian, a high-ranking official with real power from the fourth grade and in charge of prison, Zhou Zhixian can be a fellow villager with him, of course, he has to be a good student. It doesn't matter what the people think? Respectfully invite Wang Xian into the city.

After entering the city, Wang Xian and others did not live in the post house, so they lived directly in Gaoping County under the strong invitation of Zhou Zhi County. After a simple wash, Wang Xian went out to the outside room, and Zhou Zhixian hurriedly got up to greet him, still a little cramped and said, "My lord......"

"Lord Zhou, relax." Wang Xian sat down in the right seat and waved his hand to signal him to sit down.

"Adults still call it a small cursive character." Zhou Zhixian only rested a quarter of his butt on the chair, and said respectfully: "The villain is cursive." ”

"Okay, Yingzhi," although Wang Xian was half the age younger than Zhou Zhixian, he was not awkward at all, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm just chatting casually with you and fellow villagers." ”

Hearing Wang Xian say the word 'fellow villager', the remaining two taels of bones in Zhou Zhixian disappeared, and he nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, what do you have to ask, the lower officials must know everything, and there is nothing to say...... Endless. ”

"Yingzhi is much more enthusiastic this time." Wang Xian still couldn't help but tease.

Zhou Zhixian's old face was flushed, and he said: "Don't blame my lord, I really had to do it last time." ”

"Ha Luha, I don't blame you, it was human nature for you to do that at that time." Wang Xian smiled and said, "But there is one thing that I am very strange, half a year has passed, why is your county still under martial law?" ”

"That's the ......" Zhou Zhixian showed a wry smile and said: "Although both times are martial law, the purpose is different, last time it was to arrest people...... The adults must also know that the father and son of the abolished King of Jin disappeared that time, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin naturally wanted to block the whole territory and strictly arrest him. This time, it was an order from His Royal Highness Taisun, and the purpose was to prevent the White Lotus Sect from entering the confluence. ”

"What about leaving the country?" Wang Xian asked.

"No matter." Zhou Zhixian said: "Even if it is a gift, as long as it can make the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi less and less, there is no problem." ”

"Is this what you mean, or what Taisun means?" Wang Xian frowned slightly.

"How dare the subordinate have his own meaning?" Zhou Zhixian smiled bitterly.

"......" Wang Xian's brows frowned even tighter, Taisun Guang prevented the White Lotus cultists in Shanxi from gathering, but forced those seeds of rebellion to other provinces, isn't this beggar-thy-neighbor? Which two hundred and five gave the idea to the grandson?

Seeing that Wang Xian was a little unhappy, Zhou Zhixian was busy holding his breath and waiting, and he didn't dare to breathe, until Wang Xian opened his mouth and asked again: "The White Lotus Sect has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty for several months, I don't know what the situation of the resettlement of the Dao Dao is, has your county been allocated a quota?" ”

"Back to my lord, our county is located in a key area, and for the sake of insurance, it has not been allocated a place for resettlement." Zhou Zhixian said: "However, the neighboring counties have been allocated thousands of people, and Shanxi is poor and densely populated, and it is already the limit to settle these people." ”

"How many counties are there in Shanxi?" Wang Xian asked,

"More than a hundred." Zhou Zhixian hurriedly replied.

"That's just over 100,000 people, and it's not enough." Wang Xian sighed.

"Whether it's enough or not, people don't want to come." Zhou Zhixian said: "At first, several counties received a group of believers, but the government was wary of them in every way, and the people regarded them as outliers. After this incident, those White Lotus disciples became more and more distrustful of the government, and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated even more. ”

"Aren't there any examples of success?" Wang Xian asked.

"No, in fact, all counties are unwilling to accept these disciples," Zhou Zhixian shook his head and said, "They are all organized, once they let a thousand people stand on their feet in the local area, they can immediately fight against the magistrate." ”

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, and then asked, "So, the local government is quite resistant to the plan of scattered resettlement?" ”

"Xia Guan can be regarded as a bystander, since the adults do not give up on inquiry, Xia Guan must also be bold and outspoken." Zhou Zhixian said: "This is really a method that can be decided with a pat on the head." ”
