Chapter 1151: The Political Struggle in Nanqiu County
"Please let the ancestors decide!" Shaodian knelt in front of Shaodian Huan.
"How is that kid?" Shao Dianhuan had a rare show of warmth on his face.
"This month there have been reports of disasters in various places, and he has not been able to sleep well and often has nightmares. Shaodian replied cautiously.
Shaodian Huan walked out of the hut, looked up at the sky, and said with some emotion: "Why him? Shaodian Kingdom has lasted for more than 4,000 years, and there have only been two natural disasters in total.
If there are more disasters in the areas controlled by the rebels, there will be excuses, but most of the disasters are concentrated in the central and eastern regions, and if I don't suppress them, there will also be a catastrophe near the capital, and this king can't be replaced. β
Shaodian lowered his body and followed behind, and said: "The morale of the officers and soldiers on the front line has been greatly hit, and the two sides of the Xijiang River have suffered defeats in a row, and only Zhongwangzhou has held the front with the help of the Eighth Army, and the situation in the kingdom is becoming more and more depressed. β
"Then abolish the Shaodian Seal, set up Shaodian Chung as the new king, you are still the regent, and quell the rebel party as soon as possible!"
Shaodian Chung is the prince of Nangong Rusheng, the third son of the former king Shaodian Dan, who is still in infancy, carefully cared for by the royal family, and regularly sent to Nangong Ru to nurse.
On May 1, 4879, the Shaodian king Shaodian abdicated and was replaced by his younger brother Shaodian Chung, which is the more famous "natural disaster abolished king" in the history of Shaodian Kingdom.
Shasha, Ding Kui pinched the information in his hand into a paper ball, and said angrily: "What does natural disasters have to do with the king? Can't the Senate raise objections? Let a baby who can't take care of himself be the king, it's really a joke for the ages!"
After all, there had already been rumors in the capital, and the abdication of Shaodian Feng was not sudden, and the whole kingdom accepted this fact relatively calmly.
No one in the barracks could pick up the topic thrown by Ding Kui, and the matter of the change of king was not something that people in the army could discuss.
"I don't know how sad Madame will be?" Ding Fen only thought of Shaodianluan.
"Yes!" Ding Kui was also touched, "She must be very sad, I want to go see her." "I imagined my wife crying bitterly.
"No! My lord, there are rumors that the Commander's Office is about to abolish the Nannuma Prefecture Theater and transfer us to the Zhongwangzhou Theater, so you can't leave at this time. Zhang Dingyuan was shocked.
Nanping County to Nanqiu County came and went for seven or eight days, that is already counting the extreme speed of the tiger stripe thunder horse, and it will take ten days and half a month to delay anything in the middle, and the troops cannot be pulled out without the main general.
Ding Kui didn't care: "The armistice agreement we signed with our own country uses the name of the Nannuma Prefecture Theater, and the revocation of the war zone is tantamount to unilaterally tearing up the armistice agreement.
To transfer my troops to Zhongwangzhou, I have to let half of the 20th Army Corps change the guard, is it possible to merge with the 1st Army Corps to take over my large battalion? To put it mildly, without me in Nannuma Prefecture, my own army would have attacked immediately. β
"Do your subordinates want to go back with you?" Lei Feixiang was also discussing in the tent.
There were not only special operations regiments in the border battalion, but also the first and second battalions of the crossbow regiment, which had been escorted over by ordnance, and after they arrived, they joined the training of the 74th and 75th divisions, and they stayed, and there were 2,500 Red Army soldiers in the battalion.
The Protector Red Army had status in the barracks, they were considered auxiliaries, funded by the local nobility, and assisted the regular army in battle, and they could also receive rewards for military merit.
"What are you making a fuss about! It's hard to hurry up with a lot of people, I'll go back alone, and if I can't make a decision, I'll summon Qianyou, and he can find me as soon as possible." β
A lot of things have happened in Nanqiu County in the past month or so, Ding Kui wants to go back, and the impact of the change of throne on Shaodianluan makes him determined.
The most sensational thing in Nanqiu County is that Ni Guan Zongnu pretended to be the city lord, this matter can be described as a twist and turn, not only the officialdom of Nanqiu County was in an uproar, but even the Nanjing City side couldn't stand it, and sent someone to take Ni Guan away and stop him from performing the duties of the city lord of Chunlu.
The matter has to go back to Master Tu to find Shu Wu, tell Ni Guan to rush to the county town, and will provide relevant information about the pretending city lord, and finally hint at the relationship between Ni Guan and Zibi. This is a code word of officialdom, which actually shows that Ni Guan knows the origin of the fake city lord.
As Zibi's protΓ©gΓ©, Shu Wu received Ni Guan very warmly.
"Impossible! That bad slave won't forcibly occupy other people's land, could you be mistaken?" Ni Guan was very surprised when he heard that the fake city lord had forcibly occupied Li Si's tea shop.
Shu Wu's expression was displeased: "Do you question this official?" The down-and-out county guard is still the city lord's top boss.
"No, no, no!" Ni Guan hurriedly explained, "The subordinates are mainly worried that they will be killed by the Ding family on the way to take office, and they are forced to arrange for their subordinates to pretend to be themselves and take office first."
The subordinates repeatedly instructed the slave to keep a low profile, to stay in the city lord's mansion as much as possible, not to speak if he can, not to do things if he can, not to do things if he can, and not to run around, how could he go to forcibly occupy other people's tea shops?"
"Hehe, the minions are emboldened when they leave their masters, and they finally become the overlord of the soil in one place, what can't they do?
Wait, what did you just say? Are you worried about being poisoned by the Ding family? Oh my God, you must not say such a thing!"
Shu Wu looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "The wall has ears, Her Royal Highness the princess is next door, and there are some words that you end up holding in your stomach, and you can't say it even if you are suffocated." Who is the biggest on the ground in Nanqiu County? β
The Lord of the First House he is referring to is the Chief Zibi of the Government Council.
"Well, my subordinates thought it was all your people. A cold sweat broke out on Ni Guan's forehead, "I didn't hold back my mouth just now, those are all ignorant speculations of my subordinates." It's just that my subordinates have a request, and I hope your lord will grant it. β
"What? Shu Wu waved his hand and motioned for his men to leave.
Ni Guan moved his chair, as close to Shu Wu as possible, and said, "My subordinates want to see the fake city lord in the prison." β
"Are you crazy?" Shu Wu almost jumped.
He tried to control his emotions, and it took him a moment to calm down before he continued: "Don't you know who is in the county except here?
Ni Guan explained: "You dissipate your anger first, there is a reason for this request from your subordinates, and your subordinates suspect that the one in prison is not Ni Dajiao." β
"Don't you understand? Whose orders do the people of the Public Security Department listen to?" Shu Wucai refused to say that he did not have that power.
In fact, he really has no power, and his orders must be approved by the Commissioner of Taxation, and what Liu Yu does not agree to cannot be carried out.
"Then can you interrogate the fake city lord, your subordinates can hide in the dark and take a look. Ni Guan had another plan.
"I can't vouch for that, so you'd better not expect too much. Shu Wu finally did not completely reject Ni Guan.
Unexpectedly, something happened the next day, and the "Nanqiu County Weekly" issued a special issue, describing in detail the matter of Shu Wu's private meeting with Ni Guan, and recorded that Ni Guan was worried about being poisoned by the Ding family, which caused an uproar for a while.
The eldest princess was furious when she heard this, and ordered Ni Guan to come to Ding's house to explain to her face, explaining clearly why she wanted to slander the Ding family, and slandered the Ding family and planned to murder Ni Guan.
Now Ni Guan is in a mess, and I don't know what to do.
He can go to Zibi and cry, worried about being victimized by the Ding family, but he must not express his position publicly, just like Ding Kui can secretly assign people to kill those city lords, but he can't leave clues reminiscent of the Ding family.
The special issue of "Nanqiu County Weekly" threatened that there were witnesses, and they could confront Shu Wu and Ni Guan on the spot at any time, and they were not afraid that Ni Guan would be framed against him.
Ni Guan couldn't slip away if he wanted to, so Xiahou Touch and Ding Zhong appeared in front of him together and asked him to go to the Princess Mansion of Nanqiu County, which had begun to take shape. The princess's mansion is still called "Ding Mansion" internally, but with the help of the title of princess, it sits in the county seat.
With the participation of the Espionage Department, there is no way to escape, you can't deny what you have said, the Espionage Department has the right to torture and interrogate you, and the family is an institution under the jurisdiction of the clan government, and the princess will definitely not be used to Ni Guan.
Shu Wu stood up in time to clarify, claiming that he completely disagreed with Ni Guan's remarks, if the Ding family had bad intentions, the first person to be killed should be his county guard himself, and there was no logic at all to murder a small city lord.
At this time, it can't be said that Shu Wu is on the side of the Ding family, and the spy department will take Ni Guan away openly, who knows if Ni Guan will give it all out, and when will Shu Wu not sell his teammates at this time?
Everyone was waiting to see the excitement of Ni Guan, and their eyes were basically focused on the county seat, and few people noticed the major events that happened in Dingjiang City and Xining City.
The Li family in Lijia Town, Dingjiang City, was raided by the city defense army, Niu Erbing claimed to have found a lot of evidence that the Li family had fornicated with his own army, and Li urged the family elders to plot to destroy the governance of Dingjiang City, in order to cover the lurking of his country's spies.
In addition to the physical evidence, someone in the Li family suddenly woke up and testified against Li Zhu by killing his relatives in righteousness, and immediately confirmed the Li family's plot to do wrong.
The Dingjiang City Public Security Bureau quickly found out the truth, convicted Li Zhao and several elders as traitors, reported them to the county guard and the state pastor, and sentenced them to death after verification.
There were more than 300 people in the Li family who participated in the treason, and all of them were assigned as hard laborers and slaves and servants for life.
Li Xingduan was meritorious because of the whistleblowing, and the People's Livelihood Department recommended him as the new head of the Li family, leading the ignorant and deceived clansmen to rebuild the Li family.
The matter in Xining City is relatively simple, the tax supervisor Tong Zhao died strangely, suspected of accidentally falling into a water tank and fainting and drowning, and suspected of being assassinated by a professional killer, but no clues can be found at the scene, and it has become a mysterious case.
The excitement of Nanqiu County was transmitted back to the capital through a special channel, and Zibi was shocked and angry when he learned that it was all his people who were hit during this time, Ni Guan, Shu Wu, Tong Zhao, etc., and even Li Xuan, all of whom he arranged to Nanqiu County to deal with Ding Kui.
Fortunately, the biggest chess piece, Shu Wu, could still be saved, and he was not too deeply involved in the political whirlpool of Nanqiu County, so Zibi sent him a private message, asking him to participate in the review of Ni Guan and draw a line with Ni Guan.
Shu Wu happily accepted the order and personally asked to see Shaodian Luan, explaining that the private meeting with Ni Guan was to investigate the case of impersonating the city lord.
