Chapter 858
At first they were just making money, but now they have begun to develop to the point of forcing the robbery of a private girl, and killing people in the street with one word. The city of Qizhou was depressed and complained, and the people did not dare to go out easily, but His Majesty the Emperor of Qi in the Qi Palace had no hearing of this.
Seeing this, Qizhou soldier Cao Jiangzhen couldn't help but be worried.
There were six ministries in the court, including officials, households, military and punishment work, and six ministries in the area. They were the Georgian local authorities. This was a state-level institution. When they arrived in the county, they were called the "Six Rooms". The general functions were the same. Jiang Zhen was a military officer in Qizhou, and he did the job of the Ministry of War. He had the final say in theory.
It's just a theory. The soldiers and horses of Qizhou are now under the hands of the "Sifang Kings", guarding the four gates respectively. He is an official from the "Former Tang Dynasty", not a direct lineman, and has no real power in his hands.
Just now walking on the street, he dealt with the several people who forced the women to enter the alley. Jiang Zhen was very worried and angry. According to his authority, he could manage it, and he was in charge. But just now he revealed his identity, but he only got a few sneers, and he didn't treat him as a nonsense. He just met a colleague, with the same bitter expression on his face. The two of them stood up, retreated from their left and right, gradually walked into the narrow alley, stood in the middle, and then started chatting softly.
The two of them were originally friends for many years, so they didn't have to worry too much when they spoke. They were both Guan'er from the "Fore Tang" and were both people who fell into the world. The situation was similar, so they could empathize with it. Jiang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wang, King Qi is like this..." He didn't say it clearly, but both of them understood the meaning.
The general surnamed Wang sighed and said, "Although the Marquis of Luoyang is not reliable, it is more than enough to deal with our prince. Moreover, who is our Majesty? Can he lose his last resort in the war? If I am right, the soldiers and horses are already on the way from the nearest Bingzhou camp. General Li Ji, the chief general of Bingzhou, is also the adoptive father of the Marquis of Luoyang. He will definitely come in person after receiving the imperial edict. I know General Li Ji's ability, and you know that when he comes, this ridiculous farce will be over."
After saying that, he sighed again and said, "The King of Qi said that there will be a decisive battle today. Look at the appearance of the city, do you still need to fight? These days, I have been trying to send my wife and children out of the city. I am unlucky. I don't know how much lard I ate, so I came to this ghost place in Qizhou. I chose myself, I deserve it, and I deserve it even if I die, but what's the point of the child? Unfortunately, the guardians of the four cities are all the confidants of the King of Qi, and they can't get in and out..."
Jiang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "If you and I can atone for your merits and get in touch with the Marquis of Luoyang..."
The general surnamed Wang's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed: "There are only more than ten confidants under my command, and there is no one under your command. The real power is in the hands of the four kings, and a few followers and servants, what can they do!"
The two sighed for a long time, and the general surnamed Wang bowed and said, "I'm back. I'm still here to spend more time with my son. She is only three years old this year and is the only incense in my family." He sighed again, and said, "Now I can only hope that after the city is broken, the Marquis of Luoyang will be kind and His Majesty will be merciful. It's fine if you kill me, let your wife, children, and the old and young..."
Jiang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of sin is this? It is already considered kind if you don't implicate the nine tribes."
General Wang choked up his voice. He knew that Jiang Zhen was talking about something. He bowed to Jiang Zhen and left with heavy steps.
Behind the right wall, an old man carrying a load leaning against the wall, as if he was resting. But if he looked closer, it seemed that something was wrong with this "old man". Look at his arms, they were thick and strong, without any shrivel. How could he look like an old man? The big guy is almost the same.
He is really a big guy, the man from Dongchang.
Here we will talk about the structural composition of the East Factory.
The leader of the Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty was called the eunuch of the Dongchang, also known as the Chengong or the governor. He was the second largest eunuch among the Ming Dynasty after the Silijian. He was usually the second or third eunuch of the Silijian. The full official title was "The Eunuch of the Imperial Governor of the Dongchang Official School Office" and was abbreviated as "The Eunuch of the Admiral East Factory".
In addition, there are more than 40 squads, supervisors and officials, and the Jinyiwei is the Jinyiwei. The specific person responsible for the investigation is the Chief of the Service and the Foreign Service. The Chief of the Service is equivalent to the team leader, also called the "Stand Head". There are more than 100 people. The Chief of the Service is each commanding several foreign service personnel. The Vice-President is also called "Fanzi" and "Shi Shi". These people are also composed of elite members selected by the Jinyiwei.
When Li Mu was established, the Dongchang of the Tang Dynasty did not intend to confuse the Jinyiwei with it, so there was no Jinyiwei in the Dongchang. The main positions were all from the palace, basically either Eunuch Gao’s godson or his godson. There were all kinds of people, some were desperate people in the world, and some were originally rogues on Chang'an Street, who curled up with the Dongchang, recognized Eunuch Gao’s godson or his godfather and godfather. As the team expanded, they have become the first to become a scoundrel.
This big man who disguised himself as an old man was once a thug from the West City of Chang'an. He was named Zhao Sanwa. He fought with someone and was saved by the people of Dongchang. He then accepted his godfather and became the Dongchang man. A few months ago, he was sent to Luoyang. After the incident happened in Qizhou, he received the order to arrive at Qizhou City, where the rebellion had not yet been revealed.
Most of the news that Eunuch Gao said in front of Li Shimin was from him. He is very smart and capable, but his disguise skills are not very good. Fortunately, he changed his identity and was diligent, and he never had a day to be the same. Li You was too negligent in intelligence work, and so far, he was still safe.
Zhao Sanwa listened to the footsteps, one of them had already left, and went to the side and took a sneak peeing. The remaining one was peeing at the base of the wall. His eyes rolled and he touched it quietly. Poor Jiang Bingcao talked about an upset with his colleagues. Before he had been peeing halfway through, he was fainted by a knife behind him. In a coma, the second half of his urine was urinated, and all of them were urinated in his crotch.
Zhao Sanwa dragged the man to the corner, opened the cover of the basket he was picking, stuffed Jiang Zhen in, some broken vegetable leaves covered his head, and picked up another stone as a counterweight, and flickered the man to the back door of a house hundreds of meters away.
He knocked on the door one by one, and the door opened inside. Zhao Sanwa looked around and didn't see the tail, and walked in quickly.
...
Jiang Zhen was awakened by a basin of water. It was already winter now. When the basin of cold water fell, he immediately shivered. This was also beneficial. At least it was impossible to tell whether it was urine or water in the crotch, which avoided some embarrassment.
Jiang Zhen did not scream tactfully. He looked around carefully. When he wanted to find the person in charge, he didn't see the attacker's face at all when he was knocked out just now, and there was no information to judge. When he was panicking, he heard a voice coming: "Don't look around, this marquis is here."
Jiang Zhen looked at him in the voice, and was immediately surprised and happy. The competition was that he didn't expect to see Li Mu in Qizhou City. What was happy was that he might have the chance to do what General Wang thought about just now.
"Greetings to the Marquis!" Jiang Zhen had no shackles on his body, and he knelt down the moment he saw Li Mu.
Li Mu was happy and said, "I dare not be the minister of the Great Qi State, and I am the marquis of the Tang State. We are of the same rank. What do you do if you kneel down? The two countries have diplomatic relations, haha..." As he said, he was happy himself, Jiang Zhen's face turned red and he held it in for a long time before he said, "Marty, don't make fun of it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a child playing house--"
"Oh, I can't say that." Li Mu patted Jiang Zhen's shoulder and said, "No matter how you say it, it's a rebellion. Your Majesty still needs to make a statement, and the court must make a statement. So, I'm sending me here quickly." Li Mu waved and signaled to Jiang Zhen to sit down. Someone brought him a stool. Jiang Zhen didn't dare to sit down. At Li Mu's request, he barely sat half his butt.
"Why did my people hear you? Then why didn't they rebel?"
"Mr. Marquis!" Jiang Zhen knelt down again and shouted: "Xiaguan never thought of rebelling! Xiaguan was an official of the Tang Dynasty, a native of the Tang Dynasty, and a ghost of the Tang Dynasty when he died! But under the threat of the King of Qi, his family and young were all in Qizhou City, so he had to obey on the surface. Please ask the Marquis to observe clearly!"
"I've been clearly observed long ago." Li Mu looked at Jiang Zhen and said, "Otherwise, how could you appear in front of me in a hurry?"
Li Mu smiled sarcastically and said, "I have the ability to appear in the city, so of course I have the ability to kill anyone in the city. Do you believe it?"
"Believe in faith!" Jiang Zhen agreed without any wits, which was not entirely a compliment. He and General Wang just talked that the four sects were all the confidants of the King of Qi, and they could not send their families out, but Li Mu was able to come in, which was enough to show his ability.
Do you believe this?
Li Mu was a little unhappy. I haven’t shown up enough, so why did I believe it? At least you can ask, how did I come in? If you don’t ask, I will take the initiative to say it. How embarrassing?
With a light cough, Li Mu disguised himself as he spoke: "Tell me something serious. Today is the day when the King of Qi and I made a decisive battle. Why did the afternoon pass and his men and horses not leave the city? Did he have any conspiracy?"
Jiang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Marty, you are too arrogant to King Qi. There is no conspiracy. He has changed his life."
"Ah?" Li Mu said in a daze: "He gave a war letter, how long does it take to change? He didn't even inform me of this marquis!"
"This is common."
"It's still common?"
"The King of Qi has always been like this." Jiang Zhen explained, his words were quite tactful: "After all, King of Qi was young, and many of the decisions he made in one day were unreasonable. When he found it unreasonable, he changed it. Anyway, he was the biggest in Qizhou and would not care about the thoughts of others. As he said that, he added an example and said: "Sometimes he had a banquet, but he forgot that the whole table was poured out after the banquet was prepared-"
"It's shameful to waste food!" Li Mu hated the most was the people who were wasting food. Before he entered the orphanage in his previous life, he had been hungry countless times. The feeling of hunger had been carved into his bone marrow. He felt uncomfortable when he thought about it, so when he met someone wasting food, he instinctively disgusted.
Jiang Zhen also hurriedly agreed and said, "What the Marquis said is that the subordinates also think it is inappropriate, but they dare not say it--"
Li Mu was too lazy to argue with him and said, "You know that the King of Qi is His Majesty's parent-child. Although he disobeys, His Majesty still hopes to solve this matter calmly to avoid the charcoal of life." Jiang Zhen was a smart person. When he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. If so, his wife, children, and young people would probably be able to save their lives.
Jiang Zhen hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said, "The Marquis is a military officer in Qizhou. He is controlled by His Highness the King of Qi, but he is unable to help himself. However, the King of Qi is emperor and plots to rebel against the court. The Marquis also saw it. Although the Marquis is called the Military Officer, he cannot move a single soldier and is completely excluded from the core. Today, he finally hopes that the Marquis will come here. The Emperor is willing to be a horse and be tragic for the court!"
"It's a bit redundant. Tell me something you know." Li Mu asked: "What's the situation in Qizhou City? Jiang Bingcao can tell you in detail. If you can make contributions, General Li will have his own general to ensure that you are not implicated and can make contributions."
"It's a bit redundant. Say something you know." Li Mu glanced at Jiang Zhen sideways and said, "You'd better not talk nonsense. I don't know anything. If what I said is different from what I have mastered and it will eventually prove that you have deceived me, then your life will be difficult to protect. If you can make contributions, I can guarantee that you will not be implicated and can make contributions."
"The marquis' kindness, the subordinates remember the five internal ranks." At that moment, Jiang Zhen told the story of a series of things he knew after the rebellion of the King of Qi, like a bamboo tube. Generally speaking, it was no different from the report from the Dongchang Chuangzi, which once again confirmed that Li You's so-called rebellion was completely nonsense.
Now that the chaos in Qizhou is happening, Li Mu saw it when he sneaked in. After hearing Jiang Zhen's words, a bold idea suddenly arose in his mind. Since he was convinced that the King of Qi was just a group of mobs, in this case, as long as he captured him and the money fell and scattered, wouldn't this matter be over?
Li Mu thought for a long time, slowly looked up and said, "I know what Jiang Jiancao said. To quell the Qizhou rebellion, it is enough to capture the King of Qi. There is no need to fight and let the people suffer. Since you are a Qizhou military officer, can you be willing to work together with me? Once the matter is done, it will be a great achievement. Not only will you not be wrong, but you will be rewarded."
Jiang Zhen was very moved when he heard this, but he thought that if he failed, he would not only die, but his family would not be able to save his family. But then he thought, do you still have a choice now? The court will definitely win. At that time, as an official of the King of Qi, even if he did not behead him, his whole family would be exiled and died on the road. At that time, he would be worse than death. Since that is the case, why not give up?
After struggling for a long time in his heart, Jiang Zhenfang said: "The Marquis is right, but the Xiaguan has no real power now, and there are only a dozen people who can control them. With this few people, you can't get into the palace at all! You must first contact people like General Cai who has just spoken to the Xiaguan to see if you can gather more people. Then explore the terrain of the palace so that you can make achievements with the Marquis."
