Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 440
After returning to Taicheng, Director Wang felt quite exhausted.Things have evolved to this point, completely out of control.

In the Jianping Garden earlier, the empress dowager reacted rather violently, she scolded her face, and asked them what the assistant ministers were doing?Why did such a big mess happen for no reason, and there was actually a Taiwanese official looking for death in the Tai Chi Hall!

For this question, several people are speechless.On the way to Jianping Garden, they had already discussed this. Why did Xue Gu choose to commit suicide?

Putting aside their respective positions and putting themselves into the situation Xue Gu faced, everyone could not help but find that Xue Gu's choice seemed to be the best way out.

Now Xue Gu has clearly offended the Shen family and the Wu people behind him, even if the Wu people did not instigate the beating of Xue Gu, the Wu people will never let him go afterwards.

He offended someone, but Xue Gu did not receive strong support from the villagers of Danyang. Those villagers were more keen to take advantage of it, but did not regard hugging Xue Gu as a political task that must be completed.A group of people clamored and clamored, seemingly powerful, but in fact it was just a mess, they just took advantage of the situation, and there was not even a stable and rhythmic struggle step, a group of mobs.

Looking back at the crime again, Xue Gu himself should have understood who did it to him, and then naturally understood the embarrassing position he was in.He is not the vanguard of the attack, but a disposable pawn.So this suicide, instead, became his helpless act of self-help.

In fact, Director Wang has already realized the hidden dangers of Xue Gu, and is already considering how to appease Xue Gu, but for him, Bian Dun is undoubtedly more important.So he hurried back to Taicheng to control the situation, but Wen Qiao intervened. Not only was it difficult for Bian Dun to retreat smoothly, even Xue Gu's hidden dangers were completely exposed!

The pace of events was moving so fast that it was overwhelming.So now Director Wang especially hates this kid Wang Pengzhi for provoking troubles and then returning home in a hurry. As long as this kid has a little wisdom, at least he should explain it clearly to himself before leaving.Even if the mistake is irreparable, at least he can seize the Hujun Mansion first, and he can make a more favorable remedy!

Faced with the empress dowager's questioning, everyone bowed their heads in silence, speechless.But they each knew very well in their hearts that the empress dowager was only asking for a few words of accountability. After a while, the accountability from Fang Zhen would be their headache!

This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to worry.Zhong Ya, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Cai Mo, Minister of the Five Soldiers, stayed in Jianping Garden and were responsible for safeguarding the safety of the township.Danyang Yin Chuchong also returned to the county mansion, ready to deal with possible changes in the capital.

As the most important person in Taicheng, Wang Dao and Wen Qiao felt the same anxiety at the moment, but Wang Dao couldn't take it lightly.

"Do you need to inform Dongjiao?"

After returning to Taicheng, Director Wang seriously asked Wen Qiao for his opinion.Although the son-in-law in the eastern suburbs is not in the capital, he is also one of the protagonists of this turmoil.What kind of attitude he will have and how he will react are also issues that must be considered.

Dao Wang still has high expectations for Shen Zhezi. Although the two sides have conflicting positions, Dao Wang also sees that Shen Zhezi really wants to maintain the stability of the capital.Xue Gu's death further escalated the situation. Regardless of whether there was any shadow of the Shen family behind him, he hoped to communicate with Shen Zhezi in advance, so as not to make any more drastic actions to make the situation worse.

Compared with Director Wang's entanglement, Wen Qiao's mentality is relatively simple, so he has the clearest judgment on the situation.After hearing Director Wang's words, he just sighed and said, "Yu Li should pass on a message, hoping that the son-in-law can be prepared and deal with it together, at least to calm down one side. But right now I am more worried that some people will not be reconciled. Still want to fight!"

When it comes to this question, both of them are worried.After pondering for a while, Director Wang said, "Please Taizhen temporarily guard Taicheng. I will personally meet with Tao Beijun and others. I ask them to be patient and let the situation stabilize first."

Wen Qiao nodded after hearing this. Director Wang is still very strong in win over dissidents and stabilize people's hearts. He has admired this since he crossed the river.But to be honest, he was not optimistic about the effect of Director Wang's persuasion.

Although people were panicked at the beginning of the journey to the south, Director Wang was able to quickly stabilize the situation because of the huge pressure of a foreign invasion.If everyone can't cooperate sincerely, once the Hulu cross the river and break through this last habitat, no one will end well.

Of course, the current situation is far from as bad as it was at the beginning of the Nandu, so naturally there is no huge external pressure to oppress all parties.And this time it is clear that there are internal contradictions and rifts, so how easy is it to ask people to be patient?

Even if there is a fallout, the primary responsibilities are still the auxiliary ministers like them.Because of this, some people may be stubborn and use this as a threat.

The generals of the old guard reported that many ministers had left Taicheng first, and Wen Qiao was not surprised by this.He didn't want to have such a personal stake as Director Wang, so naturally he wouldn't subconsciously imagine things going in a good direction.

Therefore, while strengthening the defense of Taicheng through deployment of defense, Wen Qiao also sent a message to several generals dispatched abroad, asking them to be more flexible and not to stick to the old rules if there were changes in the outside world.

Although Shen Zhezi has never sent him any clear information, Wen Qiao believes that this kid will never be willing to stay out of the matter and watch things change.Although the Shen family in Taichung did not clearly disclose any connection with Xue Gu's death, the Shen family will definitely benefit from it.That kid's forbearance in the early stage may be to let these people in Taichung take the risk!
But now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it any more, since Su Wei's control has been snatched, Wen Qiao has no qualifications to detach himself from the matter.Since we don't believe that all parties can still enjoy themselves happily and tolerate each other for the sake of the country, then it is better to directly kill or maim one party, which can make the situation calmer and clearer.

In the middle of the night, Director Wang dragged his exhausted body, pulled himself together and returned to the Hujun Mansion. Looking at Wen Qiao, he had a wry smile on his face: "Resentment is stronger than the cold wind, it's so cold!"

During this period of time, he not only met with Tao Hui, he invited almost all Danyang people who could be named, but these people seemed to have made an appointment with the same caliber, and the purpose was only to build a new capital. on this matter.They no longer strongly oppose the construction of the new capital, they just hope to divide part of the control.

People in Danyang are already like this now, so there is no need to talk about people in Wuzhong.With the escalation of the situation, the local towns have been able to intervene in this dispute in a legitimate way. Behind the Wu people, there is Dongyangzhou and Wuxing, a rich county with money and grain. The confidence is not comparable to that of Danyang. Choose to give in!

Sitting in the banquet, Wen Qiao couldn't help sighing secretly when he saw Director Wang's tired expression.A big family has a big business, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Director Wang's current predicament is just like this.

However, with his current position, it is not easy to speak out to comfort Director Wang, and he just sighed: "I hope the worst consequences can be minimized."

"I'm worried about being caught in those small camps... It's too real, have you made proper arrangements?"

The stubbornness of the Danyang family is beyond Director Wang's imagination.Instead of persuading those people, he was persuaded by some people to kick Wu Xing's family away.The current situation is different. In the early years when his family was in command of the army and power, they cut off a Langya County from Danyang County. Even if these families were dissatisfied, they did not dare to oppose so violently.

But now, the attitudes of those families staying in Taicheng are so stubborn, one can imagine what kind of feelings the clansmen who stayed in each family have.

Although he asked this question, Director Wang didn't dare to be too optimistic. He knew that there was a serious shortage of guards in the middle school, and these families had their own foundations in the guards.Once something bad happens, Su Wei may not be reliable.

"Ji Nanjun is now guarding Jianping Garden, and Zhou Hou is also on standby in Stone City. Here in Taicheng, King Qiao is also in charge of protection."

Wen Qiao's time in charge of Suwei was too short, and all he could do was simple defense scheduling. As for the deeper personnel deployment, he hadn't started yet.In fact, he didn't even know how the basic defense dispatch was arranged and whether the personnel were in place.

The two sat in the room with heavy hearts.So far, the Danyang people's attitude is so tough, the most serious consequence is to launch the Suwei army change.However, this point can also be ruled out. On the one hand, the imperial court successfully quelled such a massive Liyang rebellion earlier, and the deterrence is still there; on the other hand, the time is too short to brew such a drastic change.

At dawn, King Qiao, who was in charge of guarding the garden, rushed into the guard mansion with a very ugly expression, and said in a shy voice, "A part of the guards in Xichi suddenly left their positions. He is approaching Taicheng, but he doesn't know what he intends to do. The general has urgently dispatched his troops to repair the loopholes, so please tell Duke Wen if he can suppress it by force?"

Hearing this, Wen Qiao frowned tightly.Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. The Danyang people were able to influence Suwei, but they did not dare to resort to force, but chose to use the people to achieve their demands.

At least right now, the situation may turn around. At least right now, I don't need my side to bear the pressure from the Danyang people.If Wu Xing's family can't withstand the pressure and make concessions, it has nothing to do with him.As for the more far-reaching impact afterwards, at the very least, you have dealt with the immediate problems, have a chance to breathe, and then worry about it.

"Xiaomin was incited? Did King Qiao ever check it out?"

Thinking in his heart, Director Wang frowned and asked.

"No, but the center of Taicheng City is important, and the little people are trying to get close. No matter what they want to do, how can they just sit and watch!"

"It's better not to jump to conclusions. Let's take a look first and then talk. It's really inappropriate to use weapons against our people."

As Director Wang spoke, he stood up and ordered people to summon the officials to go to the Taiji Hall, and he himself boarded the chariot and prepared to go.
