The devil is coming

Chapter 633 Perfect! (seeking subscription)
A very hasty worship ceremony, so everything can only be kept simple;
But fortunately, there are enough people, and the people who come are very important;
Some people cried, some were sad, and everyone tried their best to "show their true feelings" in a short period of time.
to be honest,
After all, Yingdu was once the capital of the country, and it was also a big city. Its influence and coverage were also very large, and its population was also large. After the base number below was increased, the people at the top were definitely not fools. At least, in terms of acting skills, they were absolutely passable. .
even,
Marquis Zheng also saw some officials who were obviously Yan people walking down with tears in their eyes.
you,
Why are you crying?
When they passed by Ping Xihou, they woke up. It seemed that they had been itching for a while and wanted to go up and discuss with their colleagues in Jin, and had forgotten their own position.
But anyway,
This worship is still completed.
Ping Xihou's team left Shishan and headed towards Yingdu, which was the real destination of his trip.
The purpose of coming to Shishan for a round is to beat, and the target of the beating is naturally Prince Cheng's Mansion. To be precise, it is represented by Prince Cheng's Mansion, or in other words, secretly I want to promote Prince Cheng's Mansion as a representative in the future. power.
The establishment of a prince's mansion was originally to suppress powerful enemies. This was the foundation of the Yan army's meritorious service.
The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion suppressed the desert, and the Jingnan Marquis Mansion once intimidated the Qian Kingdom. Now I have the barbarians in the north, the Chu State in the south, and the Yingdu in the west, that is, the people of Jin.
Zheng Fan didn't know what the blind man and Gou Moli were thinking, but the two of them often acted too radically.
In Zheng Fan’s own opinion,
Emperor Yan had not passed away for a day, so he had to play the role of the great Yanping West Marquis. Before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he was also a great man and a loyal man. No matter how anxious he was, there was no need to rush.
When the team entered the outskirts of Yingdu, groups of cavalry came on horseback.
The four camps of Yingdu were stationed with two Yan armies and two Jin armies respectively. The Jin army was more numerous than the Yan army, but the official rank of the chief general was not as high as that of the Yan army.
This is also the fundamental reason why Gong Wang wants to hug the Pingxi Houfu tightly. Otherwise, there will be a ceiling above his head, and it will even be easy for him to end up being jealous and divided by the Yan people.
"General of the East Gate Camp..."
"General of the Ximen Camp..."
"South Gate......"
"North Gate…………"
"See the Marquis of Pingxi, the Marquis is blessed!!!"
Back then, Zheng Fan, who was still an uncle from Pingye County, could only rely on false reports of King Jingnan's military orders to mobilize the troops here into the city. Now, that is actually no longer necessary.
Unless the court lets the news go in advance, or makes some arrangements, or the court itself and the court show a reluctance to deal with it;
otherwise,
Normally,
For example now,
With just one word, he could directly mobilize the camp outside the city to follow his orders and enter the city without having to rely on King Jingnan's order.
The underlying military system of Yan State was very chaotic;
But in fact, the top-level military system of Yan State is even more chaotic.
In the continuous foreign expeditions in the past few years, due to the military prestige of the two marquises, the two main field cavalry forces of Yan, Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army, were able to be deployed with each other. As for local garrisons, county soldiers, etc., It can be used at any time, which is very convenient for Emperor Yan and the court.
As the old saying goes, people planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. Now, as a military marquis, Marquis Zheng can naturally enjoy this privilege.
Well, there is one country that breaks down all of this very well, from top to bottom, and it's all in order, and that's Daqan.
Lord Zheng opened the carriage curtain,
Looking at the generals kneeling on the ground in front of them,
Road:
"You all worked hard."
"It's your duty, don't dare to express your sorrow!"
"It's your duty, don't dare to express your sorrow!"
"During these days in Yingdu, I hope that all of you and those who belong to me will be in high spirits."
"The last will obey!"
"The last will obey!"
Lord Zheng retracted the curtain and the team entered Yingdu.
After entering Yingdu City, the team from the Prince's Palace, which had been ordered to stay behind closed doors by Lord Zheng, returned directly to the Palace.
Tonight, there are bound to be many people gnashing their teeth in bed, scolding the people of Yan for being arrogant and domineering. There will also be many people who will burst into tears over the current treatment of their old master. There will also be many people who will express their sorrow for the past of our motherland. Today’s emotion.
but,
It's totally useless.
Marquis Zheng did not go to see the fifth prince first. His team went directly to the prefect's mansion after entering the city.
Zheng Fan and Mao Mingcai once had conflicts, but later, as the misunderstandings deepened, Mao Mingcai suddenly became very good to Zheng Fan.
However, regardless of the relationship between the two parties, Mao Mingcai is indeed an official, and this official is still a big official.
Theoretically speaking, Mao Mingcai is the real feudal official. People like Zheng Fan can only be special products under special national conditions. In peacetime, they are vassal towns destined to be attacked by the central government.
The soldiers entered the defense in advance. After all, a major assassination occurred in Yingdu not long ago. At this time, security issues must not be taken lightly.
Those who came to greet Zheng Fan were Mao Mingcai's wife and daughter.
When the host of the house is unable to entertain guests, it is normal for the talker in the inner house to come out to entertain guests. Moreover, given the status of Lord Zheng, the etiquette must not be careless.
Lord Zheng sat down in the living room, and Mao Mingcai's daughter Mao Qingqing personally served Zheng Fan tea.
Zheng Fan noticed the hairstyle of the other party. She was obviously a woman, and at this age, she didn't look like someone who had not left the government. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be here.
Of course, this situation is easy to guess. It should be that she was promised to someone else, but something went wrong with her husband's family, so she returned to her natal family.
The folk customs in Yan land are rough and rough, and they don't have as many rules as in Qian land and Chu land, and they are much more tolerant towards widows.
After my wife and daughter go down,
Gou Moli came forward and whispered to Lord Zheng:
"Master Hou, Mao Qingqing once married into a wealthy family, and she reconciled with her husband before Yanhuangma entered the wealthy family."
Lord Zheng nodded.
Mao Mingcai was a trusted minister of Emperor Yan and had served as Minister of War. Therefore, he should have predicted Emperor Yan's plan in advance, so he allowed his daughter to choose to reconcile with her husband's family.
However, although he saved his daughter in this way, it will be difficult to marry again. It is true that the folk customs in Yan are rough, but this kind of behavior of flying ahead of time when a disaster is approaching makes it really difficult to find a suitable match. The taker.
I feel sorry for such a plump body,
Plus the right touch of depression between the brows.
At this time,
Mao Mingcai's wife, Mrs. Xu, came out again and saluted Mr. Zheng:
"Your Majesty, this way please."
Mao Ming was able to see guests, which proved that he was not yet in danger.
Sun Youdao's first letter to him and the previous official letter from Prince Cheng's Palace only stated that the fifth prince was in critical condition. This shows that Mao Mingcai's safety should have been confirmed before that.
Entering the bedroom, the smell of medicine was very strong inside.
Mao Mingcai leaned on the pillow and watched Zheng Fan walk in.
"Now that the Marquis is here, I feel at ease, old man."
"Don't talk like that. You left just as soon as I came;
Isn't it just pouring dirty water on me? "
"Haha." Mao Mingcai smiled.
Lord Zheng sat down on the chair next to him.
"Has the Marquis gone to the Fifth Prince's place?"
Zheng Fan shook his head.
Mao Mingcai was very moved.
Because of his continuous misunderstandings, he had a particularly good impression of Zheng Fan, and now, he naturally took advantage of it even more.
He actually didn't expect that Lord Zheng didn't care much about Lao Wu's life or death.
The prince is a species, right?
After you destroy one with your own hands,
It’s really hard to take it seriously anymore.
"How are you?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Actually, I didn't drink much wine, because I wasn't feeling very well at that time, so I just drank some wine on my lips, which was just for fun. I'm ashamed to say that I was aroused by what happened that night. Now I am bedridden."
Zheng Fan saw the official documents piled up in the bedroom. Apparently, Mao Mingcai did not forget to do his work even when he was in bed.
"Master Marquis, please don't think that I am taking advantage of my illness to escape..."
"The fact that you are using your illness to escape is the real source of trouble. I understand."
Mao Mingcai nodded. It would be a sin for him not to be able to take charge of the situation at this moment.
Here is Yingdu again, the old territory of the Jin people and the new territory of the Yan people. There is no room for you to work hard and slack off here.
"I have already submitted a letter to the court. I estimate that the new governor will be here soon."
"How can it be so fast."
First, the journey is long, and second, he is the governor of Yingdu. The relationship is very important and cannot be replaced by just anyone.
It's okay in the Yan region, but here in the Jin region, the governor's position must be taken with caution, otherwise the territory that was finally conquered will be at risk of overturning.
"Actually, after the attack on Chu, the imperial court intended to transfer me back to Beijing. I also want to go back to Beijing to see His Majesty."
Hearing this, Lord Zheng's eyes darkened slightly.
This is,
Is it really necessary to replace someone?
Marquis Zheng can look down on Prince Cheng's Mansion, firstly because Mao Mingcai is here and the relationship is well established;
Although everyone around Zheng Houye can clearly feel his "Ping Xihou's heart",
But outside, in the outside world, in the specific environment of Yan State,
And Li Liang’s pavilion’s mirrorless pearls and jade are in front,
In fact, Zheng Fan's reputation has always been very good, and he is really not the kind of person who wants to rebel.
After all, everyone's attention was focused on the King of Zhenbei and King Jingnan and the matter of seizing the direct descendants. He suppressed the rebellion of the Marquis of Xi, and had not yet reached the small blackboard of the issue.
Therefore, Mao Mingcai had no doubts about Zheng Fan's change of opinion.
Another thorn in Yingdu is Sun Youdao, and Taifu Sun is also in his own boat.
Here, if the position of prefect is changed, wouldn't he have to start a new relationship?
Having a relationship is quite troublesome.
"The imperial court also asked for my opinion. Later, the imperial court also came up with an explanation..."
"Oh?"
Are the candidates confirmed?
"Xu Wenzu, the commander-in-chief and magistrate of Nanwang City, will move to Yingdu and take my place as the prefect of Yingdu. By the way, Xu Wenzu, you should know the Marquis?"
Xu Pangpang!
"Hehehe..."
Lord Zheng laughed,
this moment,
He did not care about the gains and losses, nor did he think about the impact Xu Wenzu's arrival would have on his palace;
He just had the figure of Xu Pangpang appear in his mind,
Just want to laugh.
When Mao Mingcai saw this, he also laughed.
In his opinion, there may be times when Marquis Pingxi appears to be impatient and unkind, but he is truly dedicated to serving the public and sacrificing himself for the sake of the country.
This is such a simple temperament.
"Master Marquis, I think Xu Wenzu will do better than me after becoming the governor of Yingdu."
"Well, I think so too."
"..." Mao Mingcai.
Mao Mingcai coughed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mr. Zheng stood up and patted his back for help.
In fact, if anyone is interested in checking Mr. Zheng’s resume, he will definitely be able to find out the relationship between Mr. Zheng and Xu Wenzu;
When Lord Zheng was the captain of the school in Hutou City, Xu Wenzu was the recruiting envoy of Beifeng County, and the yamen was in Hutou City;
When Lord Zheng was on the garrison at Cuiliu Fort, Xu Wenzu was serving as the commander-in-chief at Nanwang City;
But later Zheng Houye followed King Jingnan to the Jin Dynasty, while Xu Wenzu still stayed in Yinlang County.
Marquis Zheng has been rising through the ranks in recent years, but Xu Wenzu has also been rising steadily.
Four years ago, the melee of the Three Kingdoms began.
Xu Wenzu assembled more than a dozen local general soldiers with a complex composition in Nanwang City, and forcibly blocked the northward exploration of the troops from the three sides of the Qian Kingdom;
Not long ago,
The eldest prince beheaded Zhong Wenmian and was granted the title of Marquis, and Xu Wenzu was actually rewarded for his meritorious service.
Furthermore, although Xu Pangpang had served as a general in the army, he was actually a civil servant. Now that he has succeeded Mao Mingcai as the prefect of Yingdu, he is a real feudal official. When he returns to the court one day, he must be a minister or some other big shot. Make room for him to sit.
the most important is,
Xu Wenzu's abilities and methods are first-class, there is nothing to say.
"I hope that after Xu Wenzu takes over my position, he can work with you, Lord Marquis, to completely stabilize this half of Jin. Once this half is stabilized, the entire Three Jins will not be in chaos."
Because the other half is sandwiched between Jindong and Yan Kingdom, he is always looking out for his head and body, and no matter how noisy he is, he will be suppressed in the end.
"Well, I haven't seen him in a few years."
"Come to think of it, the relationship between the Marquis and Xu Wenzu is very good."
Zheng Fan nodded.
"Therefore, the court treats the Marquis well. It stands to reason that Yingdu should choose someone as the prefect who can't deal with you, the Marquis, so that it can act as a check on each other."
This is what I say from my heart, because it is very taboo.
Zheng Fan shook his head and said indifferently: "The land of Yan and Jin is vast, but compared to Qian Chu, it is actually relatively poor. The reason why we, the Yan Dynasty, are able to dominate the sea is actually due to your majesty's wisdom. Under the leadership, our group of people will not neglect public affairs for personal reasons, nor will we restrain each other;
It's not yet time for the horse to be released to Nanshan, where can we find the time to consume these internally? "
"The Marquis has an open heart, and I admire him."
"You have a good rest. For now, I'll just help you hold up the place. When Xu Wenzu comes, I'll see you off. Anyway, I want to say hello to him."
Even if Xu Wenzu comes, it will take some time to hand over to Mao Mingcai.
Due to emotions and reasons, Mr. Zheng will come again.
Of course, if Xu Pangpang came here with the same enthusiasm that killed two horses after being captured in the desert, there is no chance that these two trips could be combined into one.
Anyway, there will be messages delivered at the inns along the way. You can check it later and figure out whether Xu Wenzu is on the road or not.
"Then there is Lord Lao. Please make a decision on many matters in the city."
"What's the matter? It's just to reassure people. I looked at the files of the City Patrol Department on the way here. I guess I can't find anything."
Because the people who delivered the wine, the people in the winery, and the people who approved the notes to buy the wine were all dead.The group of assassins who assassinated the fifth prince all committed suicide by taking poison after stabbing him.
This is the most primitive but often the most effective way to deal with the aftermath.
Marquis Zheng didn't think he could be very good at investigating the case, so he gave up the idea of ​​investigating the case very early.
"Now that the situation has been stabilized, those petty plans will not be successful." Mao Mingcai sighed, "Now, I really understand that the founding of the Yan Dynasty depends on people like you, Lord Marquis."
"You're welcome. Let's help each other and support each other. Just lie down and I'll go see the fifth prince."
"Okay, you go."
.........
After Lord Zheng left the prefect's residence, he went directly to the house where the fifth prince lived.
The carriage arrived at the door of the house,
The personal guards immediately rushed in and cleared the place for their own marquis first, just like they had done in the prefect's mansion before.
However, a confrontation suddenly broke out inside. Even after the personal guards showed their badges, the people inside still refused to retreat.
Because the people protecting the fifth prince at this time were the people from the Secret Intelligence Department.
However, when Lord Zheng stepped out of the carriage and entered the gate of the house, the leading secret agent at the helm immediately knelt down and ordered his men to put away their swords and retreat.
Not seeing Allah and not sheathing the knife can be regarded as a sign of responsibility.
Mr. Zheng, followed by Chen Daxia and Juggernaut, walked into the back house.
The helmsman took a look at the guards of Pingxi Hou Mansion, especially their clothes and sabers. After the guards followed the marquis into the back house, he couldn't help but smack his lips and whispered to a confidant beside him. road:
"Sister-in-law, why are the guards around the Marquis more like secret agents than us?"
It's a pity that Mr. Zheng didn't hear this comment, otherwise he would be very happy,
At the same time, I praise the helmsman: he has a vision.
The maid opened the door and let Mr. Zheng enter the bedroom.
The fifth prince lay unconscious on the bed, his face pale and motionless.
"All go out."
Lord Zheng ordered.
The eunuchs and maids serving inside looked at each other, and finally did not dare to disobey Ping Xihou's order, so they all retreated.
The fifth prince's companion wanted to say something more, but under Ping Xihou's gaze, he still shut his mouth and walked out of the room.
The house was emptied;
Outside the house, there are Sword Master and Chen Daxia guarding;
Lord Zheng walked to the bed,
reach out,
He took out a Xue San brand poison-quenching dagger from his cuff,
Ok,
Before meeting the prince,
No one dared to search Lord Zheng.
Holding the dagger,
Lord Zheng said with emotion:
"It's a pity. Before the Gundam is built, people will die."
At this time,
The "unconscious" fifth prince lying on the bed,
opened his eyes.
"You woke up early."
The fifth prince smiled and said: "When the dagger falls, I don't want to roll out of bed in a panic to dodge. It will hurt."
"Then how boring am I?"
"Do you have to go through a process?"
"Yes, you see my dagger is ready."
"Ok."
The fifth prince closed his eyes again and cooperated with the performance.
Lord Zheng touched the edge of the dagger.
When San'er gave the dagger to herself before, she specifically told herself not to lick the dagger with her tongue just to look cool.
Lord Zheng holds a dagger,
He said gloomily:
"It's a pity that he didn't die, but anyone who dares to block the way of His Highness Sixth Prince will die!"
finished,
The dagger stabs down.
"Pfft!"
The fifth prince rolled out of bed and fell hard.
open your eyes,
Staring at Lord Zheng,
With three parts of surprise, three parts of shame, three parts of confusion and the last part of doubt,
asked:
"How do you know I'm faking it!"
Zheng Fan snapped his fingers,
Nodding with satisfaction,
Road:
"Perfect."
