People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 481 Prosecuting the Inspector, Appease Muzhou
"Huaijin used to work under the command of Qiu Xinggong, Duke of Tianshui County, and has a very good relationship with Qiu Changshi. It is even heard that he once met the real person Shiyin."

In the stone pavilion in the backyard of the Jiande County Government, Duan Baoxuan waved to the side, and Sima Yao Zhi immediately left with his subordinates.

Shiyin Daoist Ming Chongyan, and Jinwu Wei Zhonglang General Qiu Shenji are all trusted followers of the Queen of Heaven.

Huai Jin was able to serve as the captain of Zhechong in the Kuaiji Prefecture. He got on the line of Ming Chongyan through Qiu Shenji, and then got on the line of Empress Wu through Ming Chongyan.

"It turns out that this is the reason why he has been targeting me." Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious, Empress Wu's eyes never let Dong Nan go.

Duan Baoxuan, the governor, belonged to the emperor, and Wei Huaijin, the governor of Zhechong, belonged to the empress. This in itself was a kind of check and balance.

Duan Baoxuan sat down in the stone pavilion, he stretched out his hand, and while motioning for Li Xuan to sit down, he said softly: "He wanted to transfer Qianniuwei before, but he also had bad intentions."

Li Xuan nodded clearly, once this layer of identity is revealed, everything becomes much clearer.

Qiu Shenji's father, Qiu Xinggong, was the bastard son of the family, and had a bad relationship with Qiu Zhenmu's grandfather, Qiu Shi.

Although Master Qiu died early and Qiu Xinggong had the highest official position, he failed to become the Patriarch of the Qiu family.

In today's Qiu family, Qiu Shenji is the most respected by the emperor and the empress, and is the head of the Qiu family, but there are also many contradictions within the Qiu family.

Otherwise, Qiu Zhenmu wouldn't be working with Li Xuan in Wuzhou.

Huai Jin was not so much trying to get Qiu Zhenmu's idea, but rather Li Xuan's idea.

Qiu Zhenmu has been following Li Xuan for a long time, and she is quite trusted by Li Xuan, not to mention that he is quite powerful, maybe he can get some black material about Li Xuan from him.

What Li Xuan did in Muzhou this time was indeed too conspicuous.

"No." Li Xuan just sat down, suddenly raised her head, fixed her eyes on Duan Baoxuan and asked, "Duan Weng, but something happened in Shezhou?"

"Why does your lord think so?" Duan Baoxuan turned his head in surprise, and looked at Li Xuan, the surprise in his eyes was undisguised.

"It's a matter in Wuzhou, and the meritorious service has been determined. Even if the governor doesn't make a request, my nephew will not go to the front line lightly, so it is meaningless to target my nephew at this time, unless..." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to lift the teapot from the stone table, Poured a glass for Duan Baoxuan, and then said softly: "Unless there is something wrong in Shezhou, Qiu Changshi has made some omissions, so some people will want to get it back from my nephew."

"It is said that the lord is young and intelligent. Now that I can see him, he really deserves his reputation." Duan Baoxuan said with some emotion, and said with some relief: "A few months ago, the son sent a letter asking me to take care of the lord. I never thought that this time, it was the lord." In the glory of the prince."

Many years ago, Duan Baoxuan served as the governor of Huo Wangfu and concurrently the governor of Dingzhou. Later, he moved to the right to the governor of Luozhou and the governor of Yuezhou.

After Li Xuan was appointed as Wuzhou Biejia, Huo Wangshizi Li Xu once wrote a letter to Duan Baoxuan.

Only then did Li Xuan get the post of Captain Guoyi of the Kuaiji Prefecture after Li Xuan arrived in Hangzhou.

However, even Duan Baoxuan did not expect that Li Xuan did so well in Wuzhou.

With the power of Wuzhou alone, the way out of Tianyin Sect to the east was completely blocked.

"Uncle has won the award, and the matter of my nephew is insignificant. It is just a matter of the right time and place. But Shezhou, what is the situation in Shezhou now, if it is directly broken by the empress, then even if you and I occupy Muzhou completely, we will not be able to deal with it." The Tianyin Sect inflicts fatal damage."

Li Xuan's expression was extremely serious, because the consequences of Tianyin Sect's occupation of Shezhou were even more serious than their occupation of Wuzhou.

Muzhou and Shezhou have been integrated since ancient times, and it was called Xin'an County in ancient times, also known as ancient Huizhou, and it was later divided into Shezhou and Muzhou.

The distance between Muzhou and Shezhou is closer than the distance from Muzhou to Wuzhou and Hangzhou.

Therefore, after the Tianyin Sect's uprising, Empress Yi personally led the army to Shezhou.

For a long time, the Tianmu Mountain Road between Shezhou and Muzhou has been the main channel for Shezhou to enter Zhejiang.

The Tianmu Mountain Road is blocked, basically the news exchange between She and Mu is completely cut off.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan has never heard much about the current situation of Shezhou from the imperial court.

"As soon as you go to Shezhou, the Tianyin Sect goes straight to Xuanzhou along the mountain. On the west side of Xuanzhou is the Yangtze River. Along the river to the north is Jinling, and up the river is Jiangzhou." Speaking of this, Li Xuan's expression was solemn: "Captain, once this , the entire fifty-odd prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River will be under the vanguard of his army, and the world will be in chaos!"

Now, apart from the Wuyue states and Huidong states who are paying attention to the Tianyin religion, the other states in the Jiangnan Road have no defense against the Tianyin religion.

Although everyone knows that there is chaos in Wuyue, all states are actively busy with summer harvest and autumn planting.

Once the Tianyin sect breaks through Shezhou, all the states will immediately be on alert, which will inevitably affect the summer harvest and autumn planting.

If the summer harvest is insufficient and the autumn planting is affected, the whole world will be affected.

"That's not the case." Duan Baoxuan quickly waved his hand. What Li Xuan said was a bit extreme, he said in a low voice: "Before I received a report from Baiqisi that Beiye had been breached, and now the Tianyin Sect West Route Army has arrived. Under She County..."

Beiye is located in the northeast of Shexian County, at the west exit of Mushe Mountain Road, only [-] miles away from Shexian County.

Li Xuan's expression turned serious: "Captain, after Shexian County, there is the city of Shezhou."

"Shezhou is in danger, but Wang Dudu and Huangshan Mansion should be able to withstand it for a while." Duan Baoxuan looked sideways at Li Xuan, and said in a low voice: "Although the governor has received the news, there is only a report from Baiqisi, and there is no imperial court yet. It is not convenient to talk to others about the official documents."

The bulletin of Baiqisi has always been read only by the provincial governors, governors, long history and Sima.

Wei Huaijin, the governor of Zhechong Prefecture in Kuaiji, was unable to hear this notification, but Li Xuan, as the leader of Wuzhou, could know about it.

"Then why did uncle call my nephew here in such a hurry?" Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan seriously, he was called in such a hurry, not just to hate Huaijin.

"Thoroughly eradicate the foundation of Tianyin Sect in Muzhou." Duan Baoxuan's eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness, he looked at Li Xuan and said, "The governor has ordered all states to send Taoist masters to come to Muzhou to give lectures. Its belief, this is the first, the key is the second, which is the heart of the people, giving the people land."

"Then we need to check the fields first." Li Xuan's breathing suddenly became heavy.

In Wuzhou, Wang Fanglin only had rumors of an investigation of the land and acres, and he was immediately opposed by the major families in Wuzhou.

He even secretly joined forces with Tianyin Sect killers to assassinate him.

If Li Xuan really wanted to check the fields in Muzhou, his fate would not be much better.

Seeing the seriousness flashing in Li Xuan's eyes, Duan Baoxuan waved his hand and said relaxedly: "Compared to other states, the situation in Muzhou is simpler. The land of aristocratic families has long been confiscated by Tianyin Sect. I will take it back to Muzhou Afterwards, they only need to return their fields according to the records in the yellow book and white book.

If he wants the farmland that is not in the record, then the governor will have to settle the crime of hiding the land with them. "

Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan with the sparkle in his eyes, shook his head, lifted the teapot beside him and poured two cups.

A cup was delivered to Duan Baoxuan, and a cup was taken back to Li Xuan herself.

Looking at the tea soup in the clear tea, Li Xuan said softly, "Uncle, there are three difficulties in this matter."

"Three difficulties?" Duan Baoxuan was not surprised when he heard Li Xuan's words, but rather pleased: "Nephew, have you thought about it?"

"En!" Li Xuan nodded, and said seriously: "One: it is an aristocratic family. The aristocratic family has many methods and complicated relationships. The difficulty lies not in the outside, but in the inside, the yellow and white books are all handwritten. Burn it to the torch, and let others say what they want, and in addition, there are countless children from the family in the prefectures and counties, so this matter is impossible."

In the Governor's Mansion of Yuezhou, the Sima Yao Zhi who had the most contact with Li Xuan was the head of the Yao family of the Wuyue family.

The children of other aristocratic families filled every corner, and it was not so difficult to do something.

What's more, there are mutual in-laws, and the relationship between disciples is even more complicated.

You don't even know if the person you trust the most is related to a wealthy family.

Duan Baoxuan faced these difficult problems, his expression remained calm, and he said indifferently: "No matter who it is, if it stands in front of the overall situation of the court, it will only lead to death."

Duan Baoxuan's resolute attitude was clearly displayed in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, Duan Baoxuan has the right to kill first and play later, as long as he can pull off this layer of tiger skin, the so-called aristocratic family is no big deal.

"The second difficulty is the common people, more precisely, the ordinary people who are believers of the Tianyin Sect. They have obtained more fields from the Tianyin Sect, and they want to take these fields back from them. If you don’t pay attention, it’s just a civil uprising, not to mention, there are aristocratic families making trouble in it, they are the ones who want to see the people shed blood the most.” Li Xuan clenched her fists tightly.

The Tianyin sect incident, no matter whether it belonged to them before or not, the aristocratic family hopes to take it, and hopes to rob more.

In this case, provoke a civil uprising, and then let the government strangle the people.

In this way, the aristocratic family only needs to connect with the government to take more land into their arms.

This was the situation in Wuzhou before. If Li Xuan hadn't acted ruthlessly and decisively, and at the same time blocked the Tianyin Sect from Wuzhou, otherwise Wuzhou would have become a hunting ground for aristocratic families.

It is even more difficult to deal with the aristocratic family and the common people at the same time.

"It's still one word, kill." Duan Baoxuan's heart was as hard as a thousand-year-old rock.

How to kill, who to kill, as long as enough people are killed, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

"Third." Li Xuan straightened her body, looked at Duan Baoxuan with a serious face, and said solemnly: "It's in name, although my nephew has many positions now, but after all, it's just Wuzhou don't drive, how can I intervene State affairs, uncle please consider carefully."

"So you're waiting here!" Duan Baoxuan smiled and shook his head uncontrollably.

The so-called bad name means bad words. Even if Li Xuan has Duan Baoxuan's authorization, he is not a righteous official after all.

Even when the harvest is approaching, it is not impossible to come out and kick him away to pick the fruit.

If this is not resolved, the previous ones cannot be said anymore.

Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan, and said with a smile: "Is my nephew interested in prosecuting the governor of Muzhou?"

Inspector of Muzhou, once these four words came out, Li Xuan even straightened her breathing.

But soon, he shook his head directly and said: "Uncle has no such right, and even if uncle has obtained His Majesty's authorization and secret decree, the three central provinces will have trouble with it, and this matter is not a good thing for my nephew. "

At a young age, Li Xuan assumed the post of Wuzhou Biejia, so she was suspected of being superior.

If it weren't for the special situation in Wuzhou and Li Xuan's special status, it would be impossible for the three central provinces to pass such an appointment.

Now it is extremely difficult for Li Xuan to inspect the governor of Muzhou, even if it is only an inspection.

Once in office, the backlash is also huge.

It is even very likely that Li Xuan will be inspected for three months, and then will not be able to be promoted within ten years.

"Therefore, the governor hopes that my nephew can be appointed as the appeasement envoy of Muzhou to appease Muzhou."

With one word from Duan Baoxuan, a job that was rarely mentioned came to the fore.

It fell directly on Li Xuan's head.

　In the 20th year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan, Duan Baoxuan became the governor of Huo Wangfu.
