Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 91
In the Dudu's Mansion of Mingzhou.

Governor Cheng Mingzhen sized up Qin Lang, but Qin Lang also sized up the governor.

Cheng Dudu was wondering what the origin of this young man was, he was able to have Princess Nanyang of the former Sui Dynasty, Princess Yong'an of Dou Jiande, and Hebei pioneer Su Lie as companions. He looked so young, but he was dressed in a simple white robe. It's really hard to guess the identity.

Qin Lang looked at Cheng Mingzhen with great interest. It is not easy to be able to go from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a third-rank governor in just a few years.

Looking at Cheng Mingzhen, who was only in his early forties, he was considered to be of Qin Qiong's generation. He was tall and burly, but he was obviously different from those generals. He had a bit of elegance.

Qin Lang was the first to break the silence.

"Cheng Dudu, I have to wrong you."

Cheng Mingzhen was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what he meant.

Qin Lang continued to smile and said, "Chang'an is in civil turmoil. The king of Lujiang has called on the heroes of Yanzhao, Hebei to rise up and fight for righteousness. He wants to send troops to Chang'an, on the side of the Qing emperor, and serve the royal family! From now on, General Su will take over the post of governor and governor of Mingzhou. Governor Cheng please cooperate."

Cheng Mingzhen's complexion changed drastically, and his eyes suddenly became resolute.

The look at Qin Lang was no longer curious, but hostile.

"Come···"

As soon as he yelled a word, Lin San had already put a dagger on Cheng Mingzhen's throat.

Qin Lang persuaded with a smile on his face, "Cheng Dudu, please cooperate, otherwise the knife in my subordinate's hand is very sharp."

"Who are you? Dou Jiande's remnants? Could it be Dou Jiande's adopted son?"

Cheng Mingzhen glanced at Dou Hongxian and Su Lie. After Dou was defeated and captured, Dou's wife Cao and Zuo Pushe led the army back to Hebei. At that time, some generals proposed to support Dou's adopted son to succeed him and continue to resist.However, servant Qi Shanxing firmly opposed it, thinking that Dou Jiande led an army of 10,000+ to go south, but he was still captured in a battle at Hulao Pass.

In the end, the Cao family, Qi Shanxing and others sacrificed to Hebei and surrendered.

Qin Lang continued to smile, "Cheng Dudu is also a capable person, if he can join us to conspire for great things, then after the capture of Chang'an, Cheng Dudu will not lose his position as prince."

Cheng Mingzhen snorted coldly, "Li Yuan's rebellion and rebellion, is that a self-defeating end? If you break into Chang'an, I'm afraid that within a month, Li Yuan's head will be on Chang'an Street. It’s best to be able to turn to the light and make atonement.”

"General Cheng, don't you want to toast and not eat or drink fine wine?"

"Do you think you can take Mingzhou by kidnapping Dudu Ben? Wishful thinking, you can't even get out of this hall, I advise you to release Dudu as soon as possible!" Cheng Mingzhen was not forced by Qin Lang's threat at all.

Outside the hall, there were voices of officials and servants walking and talking in the governor's mansion, and Cheng Mingzhen was not afraid at all.

Qin Lang stepped forward and stared into Cheng Mingzhen's eyes, "The governor is really not afraid of death?"

"It's you who should be afraid!"

"Captain, your life is your own. If you die, you will lose everything. Is it worth being so loyal to the court? Besides, from what I have experienced before, the governor is not the one who is absolutely loyal to the master."

"Let me advise you, Li Yuan can't accomplish anything."

Qin Lang took out his dagger and walked in front of Cheng Mingzhen, but he still didn't move at all.

"Then we can only send the governor on the road." Qin Lang said while looking into his eyes, and stabbed down fiercely with the dagger in his hand.

Cheng Mingzhen felt a pain in his abdomen.

Qin Lang turned the dagger a few times.

"The governor is really kind." Qin Lang retracted the dagger and patted Cheng Mingzhen's arm.Cheng Mingzhen lowered his head in surprise and found that his abdomen had not been punctured.

It turned out that Qin Lang stabbed him with the handle of a dagger just now.

"If you want to kill, you can kill, there is no need to humiliate and play!" Cheng Mingzhen was annoyed.

Qin Lang signaled Lin San to also put away the dagger, then took a few steps back and bowed deeply to Cheng Mingzhen.

"Let me introduce myself. Qin Lang's name is Huailiang, and he is the governor of the Tang Dynasty. I just tested the governor just now, please forgive me!"

"Qin Lang? Qin Shubao's son?"

Of course Cheng Mingzhen knew who Qin Lang was, and the imperial court would regularly send copies of mansion newspapers to all governors, governors, governors, etc., and pass them on through post stations. Transcribed reference message.

It is convenient for local officials to keep abreast of the dynamics of the DPRK and China.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin won the crown prince, and immediately issued imperial edicts to various places. Of course, a letter of residence report was also spread to the prefectures and counties.Although the specific events of Xuanwu Gate were reviewed that day, and the external rhetoric has been slightly modified, the official characterization is that the abolished prince was built and Yuanji rebelled and caused chaos. King Qin led his troops to fight against Wang Jing, repelled the palace soldiers of the abolished prince, and defended the Taiji Palace .

Afterwards, the emperor issued an edict to abolish Jiancheng Yuanji as a commoner, make King Qin the crown prince, and hand over Jiancheng Yuanji to the new prince for disposal...
Among these mansion newspapers, Qin Lang's name appeared several times, and after the Jing Rebellion, this kid's promotion to rank was extremely prominent, so Cheng Mingzhen also knew that in Chang'an City, Qin Qiong and Qin Lang's father and son were the most trusted by the new crown prince.

"How is this going?"

Cheng Mingzhen regained his life, but he was not happy at all.

The dignified governor of the third rank, who was necked by the sword just now, did not feel good for anyone.

Qin Lang showed his Zhenfusi Qilin seal!
"Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo conspired to rebel in Youzhou."

"It's also true that I just said that General Su was the governor of Mingzhou, but it was faked by Li Yuan and others."

After some introduction, Cheng Mingzhen cleverly understood the reason of the matter.

Obviously, Qin Lang was ordered by the crown prince to deal with Li Yuan Wang Junkuo, and he came in secret. He must have come to Mingzhou to ask for his own support, but he didn't fully trust himself, that's why he made the temptation just now.

"Qin Sicheng doesn't have to be like this, I, Cheng Mingzhen, am loyal to the imperial court!"

Qin Lang chuckled, noncommittal.

"Qin Sicheng, since you have discovered the rebellion of the two thieves, King Li, you should immediately mobilize troops to quell the chaos. I will issue an order to recruit soldiers and horses from the seven states of Mingzhou to deal with the chaos."

Qin Lang stopped Cheng Mingzhen.

"Wait a minute, Dudu Cheng. Li Yuan Wang Junkuo's rebellion is still planned in secret for the time being, and we may not be able to deploy troops right now. Besides, it is not the best strategy to gather troops and horses to fight in battle."

"Then Qin Sicheng's intention?"

Qin Lang then explained his plan.

"That's why I have to be wronged by Dudu Cheng."

Cheng Mingzhen thought for a while, "It's okay to be your 'captive', but Li Yuan and the others can believe it? Li Yuan has no skills, but Wang Junkuo has to beware, this person is very cunning! And Wang Shen, he is a local snake in Youzhou. "

Qin Lang pointed to Su Lie, "That's why I invited General Su and Mrs. Dou. If their letters are sent to Youzhou first, I will definitely gain the trust of the thieves."

Qin Lang's plan is very simple, ask Su Dingfang and Dou Xianniang to write back to Li Yuan, expressing their willingness to respond to major events.Then let Cheng Mingzhen cooperate, pretending that Su Dingfang had summoned the old troops to control the Mingzhou Governor's Mansion, and then took the troops to Youzhou to join forces.

Of course, in fact, it was Qin Lang who brought Cheng Mingzhen, Su Dingfang and other garrisons to Youzhou to attack the tiger's den.

"Let's go straight to the thief's den, and when the time comes to capture the thief and capture the king, it will also avoid war chaos in Hebei. At this time, there must be no chaos in Hebei, otherwise the Turks will take the opportunity to attack again."

The plan was very bold. Cheng Mingzhen was amazed at the boldness of Qin Lang, a young man, but seeing that he insisted on the plan, he didn't care about cooperating with the acting for the time being.

"I'm going to mobilize my troops now."

"What I mean is just the opposite. Right now, Prime Minister Ming's troops from the seven states can't gather to come to Ming. On the contrary, they must stick to their places and strengthen their vigilance, lest those villains really respond to make trouble."

"Then go to Youzhou?"

"There are not many soldiers and elites, just borrow two or 3000 people from the Governor's Mansion."

In order to be more realistic, Qin Lang asked Su Lie if he could recruit some old troops.

"With the prestige of General Su, if you raise your arms and shout, there will definitely be a lot of people who respond. After the chaos is over, I will definitely show your merits to the imperial court and ask for rewards."

Su Lie thought for a while, then nodded in response.

So he immediately wrote to his old brothers asking them to come to Mingzhou.

Over there, Cheng Mingzhen also began to summon military officers near Mingzhou to discuss matters.

Su Lie only wrote letters to a dozen of his subordinates, but everyone who received the letter rushed to Mingzhou immediately.Before they set off, they each wrote letters to their subordinate brothers who they believed in.

So, in the next few days, heroes from all walks of life in Hebei gathered in Mingzhou. In just a few days, Su Dingfang attracted thousands of people.

And Dou Hongxian didn't wait, she also wrote letters to some old ministries, relatives and friends, and thousands of people also came a few days later.

Cheng Mingzhen also mobilized a thousand soldiers from near Mingzhou in a few days.

In the camp outside Mingzhou City, Qin Lang showed the Qilin Order to the three thousand volunteers.

"I, Qin Lang, have always taken care of my brothers and subordinates. On that day when there was chaos in Chang'an, the thousands of brothers who followed me were awarded seven knights, nineteen officials, three hundred honors, and the rest were rewarded with money, grain and land. Everyone has share."

"Today, you come to help Kanchao. After the matter is completed, I will also show your merits to the crown prince and ask for rewards. Even if a brother dies unfortunately, I promise that his children will also be awarded the government soldiers or choose three guards. Pension allowances will not be reduced."

"You 3000 people, no matter whether they are government soldiers or righteous people at this moment, I will give each person [-] mu of land, [-] yuan of money, [-] stones of rice, and [-] bolts of silk! Put it in the account for the time being, and wait until later. Give and receive together.”

It's normal that there will be a big reward for rebellion and chaos.

With a heavy reward, there must be brave men, not to mention that these people were carefully selected, including the elite soldiers of Hebei, these people were stationed and settled here after the suppression of Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai.There are also soldiers from Hebei who retired to the countryside after the defeat, and are now summoned by Dou Hongxian and Su Lie.

There were Cheng Mingzhen, Su Dingfang, and Dou Hongxian standing beside them, and the 3000 people below expressed their confidence in the young Qin Sicheng on the stage.

What's more, this Qin Sicheng was the one who led the prisoners, rangers, and villainous youths to make great contributions to the peace and chaos in Chang'an not long ago.

This time, everyone believes that under his leadership, they will be able to stand up to the chaos again.
