The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1456
After Liu Hongyi brought the situation under control in the city, he sent an urgent letter to Changsha by [-] miles.

In the letter, he wrote in detail about how Wen Zheyan and others gathered troops to create chaos, and how bandits outside the city caused disasters.

Changsha.

At this time, Zhao Dongting also saw Chen Wenlong and Liu Hongyi about the bandits attacking Chen Wenlong's convoy.

This naturally made Zhao Dongting very angry, exuding bursts of dull air, which made Zhang Polu and Zhang Tingen, two little Huangmen in the imperial study room, dare not breathe.

Since they came to the imperial study room, most of the time they saw the emperor was gentle, and they had never seen the emperor so angry.

Only then did they realize the difference between themselves and the emperor who was about the same age.On the emperor's body, it really has the dragon's power.

It's good that Zhao Dongting didn't show this kind of dragon prestige when it was normal, but when it was revealed, Zhang Polu and Zhang Tingen felt like they were facing the wrath of their high-ranking grandfather, and it was even worse.

"Purpose!"

Just as he was trembling and startled, he heard Zhao Dongting say: "I am ordering the Zhen Guo Military Area Command to fully cooperate with Chen Deputy State Affairs Order to strictly investigate the matter of Guangnan West Road until the end. No department shall be missed. If there are special circumstances , You can cut first and play later. The Zhenguo Military Region needs to eliminate the banditry as quickly as possible, and if there is any progress, report it to Changsha as soon as possible."

Zhang Tingen and Zhang Tingen came over hurriedly, Zhang Polu rubbed the ink, and Zhang Tingen drew up the decree.

This is secret decree.

Without going through the procedures of the Ministry of State, it was quickly sent to Jingjiang Mansion by the messenger in the palace via the post station.

……

Chen Wenlong arrived in the Dezhen Guo Military Region following his joy the next day.

For a full two thousand days, the Forbidden Army walked together with banners flying, and no one dared to touch the tiger's whiskers on the way.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Zhen Guo Military Region, Liu Hongyi was already waiting here.

Chen Wenlong had already received the rough situation of Jingjiang Mansion from the messenger sent by Liu Hongyi before. Seeing Liu Hongyi hurried forward, he said, "Shuai Liu, what are the details of Jingjiang Mansion?"

He looked a little hurried.

Liu Hongyi asked Chen Wenlong to enter the military area, and said: "Wen Zheyan, Huang Quanchan, Hong Quanbo and others used the excuse of banditry outside the city to disperse our military forces, and then persuaded the policemen and defenders in the city to open fire, intending to forcibly leave the city. I led the forbidden army to stop them. Now I have ordered the arrest of their family members, merchants, officials and others who are closely related to them. Do not leave the city."

"Ah."

Chen Wenlong nodded, and asked again: "Then what's going on in the other cities?"

Liu Hongyi said: "There is no news yet."

Chen Wenlong stepped a little faster, "There are nearly a hundred prefectural and county towns in Guangnan West Road, and the party members of Wen Zheyan are definitely not limited to Jingjiang Mansion. Those civil servants are fine, if there are generals from the Social Security Bureau and the garrison The problem is that Wen Zheyan and others are currently under arrest. If the news gets out, they will probably choose to jump over the wall like Wen Zheyan and others. The situation will be unpredictable. Liu Shuai, I want to see Wen Zheyan immediately. , I have to thank the inspectors of the Supervision Department of the Zhenguo Military Region to step up the interrogation. No matter who is involved, they must immediately send people to control them. In the territory of Guangnan West Road, things like Jingjiang Mansion must never happen again .”

"it is good!"

Liu Hongyi nodded vigorously, "I'll make arrangements now!"

Except for Jingjiang Mansion, there are also defenders in other cities and the Social Security Bureau has been corrupted. This is completely certain.

Both the defenders and the Social Security Bureau are departments equipped with firearms. If they make trouble, the impact will be very bad.

Chen Wenlong didn't even bother to drink hot tea, so he hurried to the dungeon of the Zhen Guo Military Region.

It is dark and humid here all year round.

The originally empty dungeon became quite crowded due to the arrest of Wen Zheyan, Huang Quanchan and other officials.

There were more than [-] officials who followed them out of the city, plus their family members, etc., there were hundreds of people.

Accompanied by Xing Xing, Chen Wenlong went directly to the cell where Wen Zheyan was being held.

Chen Wenlong didn't go in directly, sighed softly at the door, and said to Gao Xing: "President Gao, Dusong, go and get a pot of good wine and some appetizers."

Happily nodded, and ordered the soldiers next to him.

Afterwards, Chen Wenlong personally took the food and wine, and walked in after the jailer opened the cell door.

Wen Zheyan was no longer as calm as before. Although he was still wearing official robes, his hair was disheveled, and he was wearing ankle chains and handcuffs.

When Chen Wenlong came in, he just raised his head and glanced, then lowered his head again.

"Wen Jiedushi, drink two cups?"

Chen Wenlong put the food and wine on the small mottled table in the dungeon by himself, and said to Wen Zheyan.

Wen Zheyan raised his head, "The winner and the loser, the matter has come to an end, what else is there to say? I can't save my life, so why should the deputy state secretary want to know anything from me."

Chen Wenlong didn't argue, just sat down at the square table, poured wine into his and Wen Zheyan's cups, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, you were appointed as the Ministry of State by the emperor in the seventh year of Jingyan. You should be the Minister of the Territory and Geography Department. At that time, I was in charge of the Territory and Geography Department. I also counted as your superior for two years. Then, in just a few years, the emperor heard that you were an upright and honest official, and you were quite talented. I sent you to Guangnan West Road as Jiedu envoy. At that time, the emperor also asked me, Lu Guoling and others what I meant, and we all agreed with this, thinking that you must have the ability to manage Guangnan West Road well. Thinking about it, I came to Guangnan West Road again, but I was ordered to investigate you. To tell you the truth, when the emperor sent me to investigate you, I still had some expectations in my heart. I even hoped that Mu Kangxun would make a false accusation. Unfortunately, ……such a pity……"

He muttered to himself, "When I followed the emperor to fight the Yuan army on Guangnan West Road, you were still living in seclusion in Changsha. Maybe you didn't know how difficult it was for us to take down this Guangnan West Road. The Battle of Naozhou, The Qiongzhou naval battle and the Wuzhou battle, in those battles, countless soldiers fell into the sand. In order to build roads and water conservancy for this Guangnan West Road, we people were really working day and night, and the common people were doing these things It’s not that no one died of exhaustion or illness. The prosperity of Guangnan West Road didn’t come easily. You say you’re doing well, and you have a bright future, so why bother to do these things? Does the emperor treat you badly? "

Wen Zheyan raised his head slowly, and finally walked to sit opposite Chen Wenlong.

He picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, the hot feeling spread from the tip of his tongue to his abdomen.

"call……"

Wen Zheyan took a long breath, and suddenly laughed lightly, "What's wrong... Mr. Chen, I want to ask, do you really think that the emperor is so wise?"

Chen Wenlong looked slightly cold, "What do you mean by that?"

Wen Zheyan said: "Although Mr. Wen is not as good as Mr. Chen and you, who have followed the emperor's southern and northern expeditions since the time of Naozhou, and worked hard, but I also think that since I was appointed by the emperor, I have put in a lot of hard work for the Great Song Dynasty. But your majesty, apart from allowing our children to have a slightly better study environment than ordinary people, what else is there? We spend our whole lives on state affairs. In the end, if our children are not suitable for studying, our families will not be able to escape. The result of no one. In the officialdom, people take tea, you should have a deeper understanding of this than Wen, Mr. Chen? May I ask Mr. Chen, do you have any nephew who is an official in the court?"

Chen Wenlong shook his head slowly, and said, "My two sons have already died in the conquest. The only nephew is now just doing business in Changsha City, and no one is an official."

Wen Zheyan sneered, "Then Mr. Chen has worked so hard for the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, what can he get in the end? A name in history? What's the use of that?"

Chen Wenlong looked deeply at Wen Zheyan, "You feel that you have contributed to Song Dynasty, so you want to ask for a hereditary replacement, but have you ever thought that we people have made contributions, but we are in high positions , being loved by the people is a reward. If everyone is like you, then those people whose nephews and nephews joined the army and died in battle, opened up wasteland for the Song Dynasty, and fought against disasters, will ask the court for a title and some money. The fiefdom is also not too much, right?"

Wen Zheyan said: "How can they contribute as much to the country as you and I do?"

Chen Wenlong asked back: "But did they pay less than you and me? When the emperor led the army to fight the Yuan army, have you ever thought about the scene of ten rooms and nine empty spaces in Guangnan West Road?"

Wen Zheyan was questioned by Chen Wenlong, he was speechless for a long time, and finally laughed, "It's useless to talk...it's useless to talk..."

Chen Wenlong said again: "You know, in fact, the emperor and I both gave you a chance."
