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

Chapter 482 Serving as a comforter, sober and stable

In the stone pavilion in the backyard of the Jiande County Government, the breeze blows the fallen leaves and falls in the corner.

Li Xuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Duan Baoxuan: "Captain, although there are pacifiers in this dynasty, they are the ministers of the DPRK and China who inspect war-torn or disaster-stricken prefectures and counties. In order to stabilize social order, they are called pacifiers. , can’t fall on my little nephew!”

Duan Baoxuan smiled complacently, and then said with a smile: "Nephew, I don't know, the appeasement envoys are dispatched temporarily, to appease the body, and leave it at the end of the matter. The attendant is concurrently serving as an attendant, and as a royal family, it is reasonable to say that the nephew temporarily appeases Muzhou."

"Doctor Taizhong." Li Xuan's breathing suddenly became heavy.

You know, he, the king of Nanchang, has been awarded the title of Taizhong doctor for more than ten years.

That is to say, when I was in Shendu a while ago, I did some things, and was awarded the fourth-rank doctor.

Temporary dispatch, Taizhong doctor, royal family, physical comfort.

It looked like it was specially prepared for Li Xuan.

Looking at Duan Baoxuan, who had been prepared for a long time, Li Xuan shook his head, and said with some difficulty: "But this requires His Majesty's imperial decree, and even in the imperial decree, it must be stated that the position will end when the new governor of Muzhou takes office, and it cannot be extended at will."

"My nephew is still cautious!" Duan Baoxuan took out an imperial decree from his sleeve and put it on the table, and said softly: "This imperial decree will not be read out for my uncle. After my nephew arrives in Muzhou City, I will use it to appease you." As for the governor of Muzhou, when the news of Muzhou's conquest reaches Shendu, the Central Committee will issue an order, and it will only take about twenty days."

Li Xuan took out the imperial decree, opened it, and sure enough, it was the imperial decree appointing him as the appeasement envoy of Muzhou.

The appeasement envoy itself is a temporary dispatch, and the body is appeased, and the job is done, so there is no need to make any articles such as school checks.

I just don't know whether this thing was thought up by the emperor in advance, or he gave Duan Baoxuan a blank edict and asked him to fill it in at will.

But these are not important, Li Xuan's name is already on it.

The moment the name was written on the imperial decree, the three central provinces had already recorded it.

Li Xuan closed the edict again, gave a wry smile, and finally cupped his hands helplessly: "My uncle values ​​it so much, and my nephew has nothing to say, but the successor of the governor of Muzhou, my uncle still needs to think carefully, otherwise what we have done If it is easily erased by others, the gain outweighs the loss.”

"Don't worry, this candidate will definitely surprise my nephew." Duan Baoxuan showed a trace of mystery on his face.

It's another trick.

Seeing his appearance, Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Duan Baoxuan knows it well.

But immediately, Li Xuan's expression became serious: "There is another matter that needs to be investigated, and that is the matter of the governor of Muzhou."

"History?" Duan Baoxuan was a little surprised.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "According to what Zhu Xi said, Shi Gong never agreed to the request of Tianyin Sect from the time he was imprisoned until he finally hanged himself to death, so he needs to rectify his name. The public hanged himself to death, but is there any other love in it?"

"Nephew suspected that Shi Xu was murdered by someone, but he was killed...it was Yuan Chao." Duan Baoxuan guessed Li Xuan's real thoughts in a blink of an eye, even guessed the murderer.

After Shi Xu's death, Yuan Chao not only became the servant of Tianyin Sect's new dynasty, but even in the original plan, he would also assume the position of chief executive.

"Yuan Chao is very ambitious. During the period when Shi Cishi was imprisoned, he had already taken refuge in the Tianyin Sect. As for Shi Cishi's affairs, after all calculations, he was the one who benefited the most. It's hard to avoid doubts. After all, Li Xuan still didn't trust Yuan Chao.

"But Yuan Chao is dead now, and was beheaded by Wen Fuzhi himself. Even if he is the real murderer of Shi Shishi, the court will not let this matter come to light. Moreover, Shi Xu's story, let him It is best to die by hanging yourself for the sake of loyalty to the imperial court, it is good for him and good for historians."

Duan Baoxuan shook his head lightly, once the truth of this matter is not as expected, it will be inevitable to hurt others and ourselves.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Uncle, be careful. My nephew is not the kind of person who will reveal the truth for the sake of the so-called truth, and end up hurting countless people. At most, my nephew is just investigating the hidden secrets. What, I won't talk nonsense easily, don't worry, uncle, my nephew knows it well."

Sometimes the truth hurts the most.

Some people put the truth first, and don't care about hurting others, and when others fight back, they raise the banner of the truth.

With an innocent expression on his face.

As everyone knows, when you raise the banner of truth and hurt others, you are destined to be hurt by others.

The action of force is reciprocal.

This is also the case.

Therefore, when you are investigating and vying to hurt others, you must pay attention to the counterattack of others, and don't be a saint.

……

The Xin'an River originates from Xiuning, Huizhou, crosses Shexian County, enters West Zhejiang in the east, passes through Chun'an to Jiande, joins the Lanjiang River, and flows eastward to Yuhang to join the Qiantang River.

Chun'an and Jiande have always had constant merchant ships, especially the traffic between Huizhou and Hangzhou.

The river was quiet, Li Xuan stood at the bow of the big ship, looking at the Xin'an River in a trance.

At this moment, a flyer was sent to Li Xuan.

"The rebel bandits of the Tianyin Sect took advantage of the darkness to break out from the north gate of Muzhou at Yinshi today, and then entered the northern mountains and disappeared." Li Xuan handed the flying report to Yu Ze, Du Bixing, Qiu Zhenmu, Xu Jian and the others couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said, "Once you enter the mountains, it will be very difficult to strangle them."

Yu Ze glanced at the flying report, then handed it to Du Bixing, turned to look at Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "Within a few words, the lord has already made another great contribution, and if Muzhou repeats it, the Tianyin Sect's turmoil can be regarded as the overall situation." It’s been decided, what’s left is to wipe out the bandits.”

In the eyes of the world, the city of Muzhou is the most representative of Muzhou.

If the city of Muzhou falls, the entire Muzhou will fall, and if the city of Muzhou is recovered, it means that the entire Muzhou will be recovered.

It took less than a month for the Tianyin Sect to be thwarted after the official rebellion, and the speed of calming down makes people stunned.
"Having said that, there will be repetitions of this matter in the end, and even the army will directly enter the deep mountains and strangle the head of the Tianyin Sect. Worry about it." Li Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then looked a little solemn.

He raised his head, looked at the people present, and said in a deep voice: "We all came out of Meiling Pass, and we all know how difficult it is to attack a city, especially in the mountains, even if more than ten thousand people attack a mountain, it will be difficult." It may not be possible to win the valley guarded by thousands of people, so we will not take this kind of risk."

It was precisely because he had seen so many tragic sacrifices during the siege that Li Xuan was unwilling to let his subordinates get involved in such a tragic offensive and defensive battle.

Especially in the depths of the mountains where the main altar of the Tianyin Sect is located.

He hadn't forgotten that on the top of the Tianyin Sect's main altar, there was also a little-known Tianchi Lake.

Once the water of Tianchi pours down, it is unknown how many people will die.

"Comparatively speaking, the role of comforter is much easier." Yu Ze said with admiration: "Anyone of the prince's comforters can come and go easily, no matter how good they are, they will not be punished." People are too jealous, no matter how badly they do it, at most the government will just remove the temporary post of appeasement envoy, and there won't be too much damage."

"Despite what I said, this king still hopes to achieve some results. Duan Duan and His Majesty have such great trust, how can we not repay it with all our strength." Li Xuan looked solemn, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"My lord wants to be in Muzhou and imitate Wang Shijun's actions in Wuzhou." Du Bixing's eyes flashed with cautious excitement.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "Peace envoys will never escape the word "Peace", so everything is mainly to appease the government and the people of the state, and the most important thing right now is actually the autumn planting. After autumn planting, people's hearts will naturally be stable. The matter unfolds sequentially, if someone does not want the king to appease the officials and people of the state, then this person's heart is no different from conspiracy."

It is the normal way to stick to the imperial decree and then make use of it. Otherwise, it is easy to overstep and fall into the trap of others.

"My lord is becoming more and more prudent." Yu Ze nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Du Bixing looked at Li Xuan, clasped his hands and asked, "I don't know what your lord is going to do, where should I start?"

At present, no one has ever done the job of appeasement envoy, so how to proceed and what's wrong are indeed problems.

"Tianmu account books, after all, can't get rid of this. These things are probably still hidden in the Muzhou government, but I don't know if these things are still there now. If they are not, where are they kept, and who took them. It's up to us to discuss what his heart is like." A sneer flickered on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, as if there was something interesting ahead.

Qiu Zhenmu and Du Bixing looked at each other.

They had to admit that Duan Baoxuan used the King of Nanchang as a pacifier to appease Muzhou, and he could indeed appease the people to the greatest extent before the official governor of Muzhou came.

Li Xuan turned her head slightly, her gaze fell on the river outside the window.

In fact, the most suitable person to be the pacifier of Muzhou is not him, but Duan Baoxuan, governor of Yuezhou.

It's a pity that the imperial decree only gave him the right to kill first and then play, but it only allowed him to supervise the military affairs of the six prefectures in Taiwan, Wuquan, and the six prefectures to quell the chaos and civil unrest in the prefectures. , especially Civil Affairs, is not among them.

If you only use words, it's really outrageous, and it's not uncommon for someone to sue him in court.

What Li Xuan really cared about was that the imperial decree came down so easily, and Li Xuan couldn't help but suspect that there was some mystery behind this matter.

After the queen, capture the queen.

In the matter of capturing the Queen, Li Xuan also has the right to kill first and then play.

Perhaps Duan Baoxuan was trying to cover up something for Li Xuan.

Then the emperor and Duan Baoxuan didn't want others to see what Li Xuan did.

Huaijin, Qiu Shenji, Ming Chongyan, and even Empress Wu.

What is the situation in Shezhou today?

……

Under the city of Muzhou, the city gate is wide open.

On the city wall, all the soldiers of the Kuaiji Zhechong Mansion stood majestically, with the swords and guns in their hands shining coldly above the sunlight.

There are still blood stains on the city wall, and there are still some places under the wall that have not been cleaned, but groups of soldiers and officials are quickly entering Muzhou City.

Just as Li Xuan got off the boat, Qi Guang, who was wearing chain mail, stepped out quickly from the side.

I haven't seen him for a few days. Compared with before, the murderous aura on Qi Guang's body is much restrained.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and casually asked, "How's the situation?"

"Cao, the householder of the Governor's Mansion, has been captured by us, but there are not many things inside?" Qi Guang showed a trace of doubt on his face.

"Is there nothing, is there nothing in the yellow book and white book?" A trace of surprise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

Even the Tianyin sect needs a yellow book of household registration to manage under the rule, and it is impossible to have nothing.

Qi Guang shook his head solemnly, and said, "There is not even a piece of paper left."

"It seems that someone took the things before us." Li Xuan said very firmly.

Everyone present has long been accustomed to Li Xuan's behavior style, and no matter who this person is right now, he will be in trouble.
