In the evening, Guo Yi got up, and the four adults met for a meeting. Chu Yan told Wei Yuan and Guo Yi about the five measures that are now being implemented in Shandong, and said with an apologetic smile: "Some of these are within the purview of the two adults, but time waits for no one. ”

"It doesn't matter." Guo Yi looked at Wei Yuan and said with a bold smile: "I am waiting for the order to be in danger, and I came to Shandong to deal with the Ping White Lotus Sect, how can it be beneficial to destroy the White Lotus Sect, let's do it!" ”

"Not bad." Wei Yuan also nodded and said: "The four of us are now in the same boat, we must not care about the reputation, and work together to live up to the trust of the imperial court!" ”

"Yes, yes." Chu Yanxin said that it should be appropriate for Wang Xian to say this. While nodding, he peeked at Wang Xian, and saw that he was also nodding, and there was no displeasure. Xin said that the imperial court sent his teacher to Shandong, which was really clever.

"However," Wei Yuan frowned and said, "Although these five items are all right, there is no measure to directly attack the White Lotus Sect. This kind of simmering is safe, but it also needs to be a combination of rigidity and softness, which is the right way. Saying that, he said in a deep voice: "This official proposes that according to the judges, it is still necessary to arrest the backbone of the White Lotus Sect as the top priority, first arrest a few leaders and kill them, and then talk about shocking them!" ”

"Yes." Although Wang Xian felt that he was in a hurry, there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, so he nodded in agreement.

"On my side," seeing that Wei Yuan would start work as soon as he came, Guo Yi couldn't lag behind, and asked in a deep voice: "It seems that there are no errands in the near future?" ”

"Master Hou's errand is the most important." Wang Xian looked at Guo Yi and sighed: "You have to reorganize the army, Shandong's guard army, remove the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the actual number of posts is less than half." Even the remaining half of this has been infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect and a certain prince. It's really time to use the soldiers, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand it......" After a pause, he said softly: "And it will backfire on ......"

"Hehe," Guo Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Qincha, give me three months to train you a usable army!" "He has been training the Beijing army for more than ten years, and he is still very confident in his commitment.

"Of course I believe in you, Master Hou, but I'm afraid that people won't give us such a long time." Wang Xian sighed again and said: "I'm afraid that Lord Hou will first focus on purging, and completely sweep away the dissidents in the army, and would rather be in vain than indulge in it, rather than leave hidden dangers!" ”

"You can rest assured of this." Guo Yi smiled nonchalantly: "It won't take long for me to find out those guys who harbor trouble!" ”

"Good!" Wang Xian nodded, although he was not at all at ease in his heart, what could he do if he didn't believe in Guo Yi? He could only smile and say, "I believe that Master Hou will definitely be able to do it!" ”。

After the envoy and the capital division were in place, Shandong's three sets of systems, cloth, press, and capital were running at full speed. Chu Yan's chief secretary is responsible for giving relief to the people and urging the squires to reduce rents and interest rates; Wei Yuan's prosecutors made every effort to promote the people to protect their armor and sit together, reward the people who reported the White Lotus Sect, and arrest the leaders of the White Lotus Sect everywhere. Guo Yi's commander naturally put all his energy on purging the army and rearmament for war.

Wang Xian coordinated in the middle and paid close attention to the progress of all aspects, Jinan was in full swing in May and June, but seeing that all aspects were on the right track, Wang Xian finally felt a little cool in his heart.

"It is estimated that by the time of the autumn harvest, my hanging heart will be able to let go." Before going to bed at night, Wang Xian smiled at Gu Xiaolian and said, "We haven't been busy in vain for the past half a year!" ”

"It's great that officials can see hope." Gu Xiaolian waited for Wang Xian to lie down, and gently fanned him, she knew the pain in Wang Xian's heart best, and naturally smiled happily at the moment: "In this way, when my sister and Goudan'er go north in autumn, they can have a good gathering for a few days!" ”

Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Lin Qing'er wrote last month that as soon as the autumn was cool, he would take his son to Beijing to reunite with him. Although it is estimated that he will be trapped by Shandong's errands, fortunately, Shandong is the only way to enter Beijing, and the family can reunite for a short time and talk about the pain of missing.

"Hey, I've been so busy and dizzy that I haven't replied to her." Wang Xian couldn't help but feel guilty. In fact, it wasn't because he was busy, but because his heart was uncomfortable, but those words couldn't be written on paper, and he put down the pen several times......

"It's true that some shouldn't be. Fortunately, the slave family has already written a letter for the official to explain. Gu Xiaolian pursed her lips and smiled.

"That's good!" Wang Xian breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "You didn't mention the situation in Shandong, did you?" ”

"Don't worry, if my sister is worried, I won't say a word." Gu Xiaolian said and said with some uncertainty: "But my sister is such a smart person, she can guess a seven, seven, eight, or eight ......."

"Ah, yes." Wang Xian agrees with this very much: "Your sister Lin is the smartest, she knows everything, she just doesn't say it......"

"It's not too early, go to sleep, officials." Gu Xiaolian put down the gauze tent and continued to fan Wang Xian and said, "I still have to go to the barracks tomorrow morning......

"Hmm......" Wang Xian nodded and answered, and after a while, the sound of snoring sounded.

Gu Xiaolian gently fanned him, and looked at Wang Xian's sleeping appearance by the faint candlelight, and her heart was full of pity. She knew that Wang Xian's visit to Shandong this time was different from any previous time. Although there was danger before, there was hope after all, but this time, it was clear that there was only despair...... But fortunately, this never-say-die man is still indomitable and has made a glimmer of hope!

Gu Xiaolian looked at Wang Xian stupidly, her eyes couldn't help but redden, she attached to his heart, and said softly: "Whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Xiaolian always accompanies your ......" After a while, she also leaned on Wang Xian's side and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the entire Qincha Xingyuan was quiet, and the entire Jinan City was also quiet......

The Bangzi of the third watch had just knocked on it, and the Ding'an Gate of Jinan City was called open by a sudden messenger. When the gates opened, the messenger galloped all the way, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves shattered the silent night like an ice bowl!

Wang Xian was woken up by Zhou Yong, got up with Gu Xiaolian in his clothes, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Yong's voice was flustered, and he reported inarticulately: "Oh no! The White Lotus Sect is reversed! ”

"What?!" Wang Xian was so shocked that he gasped and couldn't speak for a long time......

In the middle of the night, the lights of the Qincha Xingyuan were lit up one after another, and the three local officials hurried over when they heard the news. Wei Yuan and Guo Yi were okay, but Chu Yan's face was extremely ugly, and he seemed to have foreseen his tragic fate...... It was customary in the imperial court that in the event of a rebellion, the magistrates would be severely punished. Before the Buddha's mother burned the three major halls, he was doing an errand with a crime, and at this time the White Lotus Sect rebelled again, Wang Xiandu himself could not be protected, I am afraid that no one can protect himself.

When the three of them arrived, Wang Xian, who had been silent, hissed: "Everyone, we are in big trouble!" ”

"My lord, where is the White Lotus Sect rebelling?" Chu Yan asked in a trembling voice.

"Jimo County, Laizhou Prefecture." Wang Xian handed the military report in his hand to the three of them and said in a low voice, "It is reported that the local government has captured the family members of the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Originally, I wanted to force those leaders to turn themselves in, but those people rebelled, and led the disciples to rush into the county office, open the cell, and kill the county commander......"

"A bunch of rubbish!" Wei Yuan's face was also very difficult to look at, in the final analysis, it was according to the great pressure given by the judge to the local government that this kind of scene would occur.

"How's it going?" Guo Yi asked in a deep voice.

"They have already opened a warehouse to release grain, pull the flag and rebel...... Wang Xian said in a low voice: "The specific situation is not yet known, and it is estimated that the letter will be available tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

"It must be reported to the court immediately!" Wei Yuan froze and said in a deep voice: "Then solve the White Lotus Sect in Jimo County as quickly as possible, no matter what method is used, we must not let this wildfire ignite other places!" ”

"Zhentai is right," Guo Yi nodded and agreed: "They must be exterminated immediately!" ”

"Master Hou, how complete is your army?" Wang Xian looked at Guo Yi, this was originally a question to be investigated tomorrow, so he could only ask in a hurry tonight.

"Don't worry, sir, I haven't been idle for a day in this month." Guo Yi said angrily: "I dare not say more, I can give the adults 20,000 usable troops!" ”

"That's great!" Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are enough to quell the rebellion, but it must be fast!" ”

"No!" It was a matter of his family's life, Chu Yan also changed his usual appearance as a sound worm, shook his head vigorously and said: "With so many troops through most of Shandong, I'm afraid that before we reach Jimo, the White Lotus Sect elsewhere will be reversed!" ”

"The army is used to dispel the delusions of those guys who are ready to move," Wei Yuan disagreed: "How can you scare them into rebelling?!" ”

"Lord Wei has not been in Shandong for a long time, I don't know how powerful the White Lotus Sect is, every village and every county has their own halls, as long as they spread rumors that the officials and soldiers are here to exterminate the White Lotus Sect locally, and they want to kill all the disciples and their families, when the time comes, someone will ascend and shout, and there will definitely be a crowd of responders." Chu Yan said with fear on his face: "You can't use the sword soldiers, otherwise it will be completely out of control!" ”

"Lord Fantai was frightened by the White Lotus Sect!" Guo Yi said with a smile: "Ben Shuai has also suppressed the rebellion of the rebellious people, and he must use thunderous means to kill a group of people and crush those who dare to come out into powder, and the rest of the people will naturally be frightened and obediently shrink their heads!" ”

"It's different!" Chu Yan stomped his feet and said: "You don't know how heavy the grievances of the people of Shandong are, they have nothing, what are you afraid of death?!" Only in accordance with the original method of reducing taxes and burdens, reducing rents and interest rates, and slowly nourishing the hearts of the people is the right way! ”

"You yours, I'll beat mine, why are they irrelevant!" Guo Yi didn't care about the Tao.

"The White Lotus Sect has spread all over the province, how can it be irrelevant?!" Chu Yan was also a little angry, and said-for-tat.

"Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, let's listen to what Lord Qincha means." Wei Yuan persuaded the two, and all three of them set their eyes on Wang Xian.

Wang Xian was silent, and his eyes looked directly at the map of Shandong Province. The two stopped talking and waited for Wang Xian to think clearly.
