MTL - Poor Family-v2 Chapter 930 Yu Shi Zhang Shan

  Chapter 930 Censor Zhang Shan

Li Yanqing returned to the barracks, and everyone sent Li Yanqing and others out of the government office, and then came to Zeng Xiulin's official room to discuss countermeasures. Zhang Ji was a little surprised that this matter could be resolved so easily, he shook his head and said: "I thought it would be so easy." We had a big fight, even tearing our skins apart, I didn't expect Li Yanqing to compromise so easily, could there be something strange about it?"

The general judge Xu Qing smiled and said: "I guess there are two reasons. One is that Li Yanqing did not expect Mr. Zeng to have the trump card of the Supreme Emperor, which caught him off guard. The second should be the reason he himself said. It is the Chinese New Year and he still owes money. He has a military salary, so he is also in a hurry, he needs to get some money and food to go back to solve the urgent need, if he breaks face with the Fujun, I am afraid that he will not even get a penny."

Zeng Xiulin nodded, "Xu Tongpan is right. The latter reason is the right one. Otherwise, he would not be patrolling Bashu at this time. He will get some money and food first, and then seek the support of the officials. He will definitely let the officials come. Press us, this person will never let it go like this."

  Zhang Ji was a little worried and said: "I'm afraid the officials will listen to his opinion nine out of ten. What if the officials refuse to make concessions?"

   Zeng Xiulin glared at the timid forwarder, and asked in displeasure, "Mr. Zhang has no confidence in this old man?"

   "Don't dare! I just want to be more considerate."

"That's because you underestimated the Supreme Emperor. The name of the official's enthronement is not correct. At most, he can only be the regent. If he has conflicts with the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor can completely abolish him and establish a new monarch. I believe that in this matter, the official No one dares to confront the Supreme Emperor"

  Speaking of this, Zeng Xiulin lowered his voice and said, "I'll simply tell you the truth. In fact, the Supreme Emperor wants to touch Li Yanqing. I'm just following the Supreme Emperor's will."

Everyone was taken aback, it actually involved the struggle for the throne, everyone felt a little tingly, Zhang Ji said anxiously: "Li Yanqing is the key to the stability of the Northwest Third Road, if he is transferred, the Northwest Third Road will be There's going to be a big problem."

Zeng Xiulin gave him a cold look, "It's already a big taboo for Li Yanqing to be a prince with a different surname, and he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers occupying the Third Northwest Road, and he tends to be self-reliant. How can the Supreme Emperor tolerate him? Weakening his money supply is just I am warning him that if he does not know what to do, the imperial court will completely cut off his money and food supply, and then transfer him back to the capital."

  Everyone was silent, but Zhang Ji didn't take it seriously. If it really came to that point, how could Li Yanqing sit and wait for death, and he would definitely lead his army into Bashu?

   But of course Zhang Ji would not say this idea, he was a little vigilant in his heart, he thought it was better not to get involved too much in this matter,

   "Should we still send food to the north?" Hong Zhaojun, the commander of the capital, asked anxiously. He was Zeng Xiulin's confidant, and his mind was relatively simple. Basically, he listened to what Zeng Xiulin said.

   "Of course, we also need to show some face to the officials. We will strictly abide by what we have agreed with Li Yanqing, and send the money and food as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by him and say that we have shaken his morale."

   "The humble officer will go back and arrange the army!"

   Hong Zhaojun saluted and left in a hurry, and Zhang Ji also made an excuse to move money and food and go first.

  Only Zeng Xiulin and Xu Qingwei were left in the official room, and Xu Qingwei said softly, "Your Majesty, be careful with this Zhang Ji!"

   "I've seen it a long time ago. This person is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. More importantly, he is not from Shu, and we don't have the same heart."

   "Do you want to control him?"

  Zeng Xiulin thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "If you push him into a hurry, you will send him to Li Yanqing's camp. How about this! Send someone to monitor him. If he really intends to betray me, it won't be too late to arrest him."

   "The humble job understands."

   After a pause, Xu Qinghui said: "The humble official is worried that Li Yanqing will find out about our collection of anti-golden military expenses, and he will find loopholes in it."

   Zeng Xiulin waved his hand, "It's okay, he doesn't know how much we have collected, it's meaningless to rely on guesswork, as long as the account book is sealed up, and he can say whatever he wants, we won't admit it."

  Xu Qinghui gave a thumbs up, "It's still wise for the governor to send the account books of the prefectures and counties to Chengdu Fulu and seal them up, so that Li Yanqing can't find a place to focus on when he finds out the problem."

   Zeng Xiulin stroked his beard proudly and smiled, "When I entered the officialdom, he might not have been born yet, but he actually wanted to fight me. He was a little too tender."

   "The humble job recommends sending someone to follow them and understand their every move."

  Zeng Xiulin snorted coldly, "You don't need to say this, I have already sent someone to follow him, not only him, but also Zhang Yushi from the capital. I suspect that it is not as simple as coming to review and issue a solution."

There was an incident in the imperial examination this spring. There were two candidates in Zizhou with extremely low level of knowledge. Not only their calligraphy was crude, but they even handed in blank papers in the poetry examination. In the middle, the emperor was furious. At the beginning of the month, he ordered the censor Zhang Shan to bring two supervisors to Zizhou to review the situation of the Fajie Examination last year. He obviously suspected that the Fajie Examination in Zizhou was cheating.

Zhang Shan is also an old official of the Yushitai. When Li Yanqing was appointed as the censor, he was the supervisor of the censor. He followed Li Yanqing to Hebei to investigate the case of poor military preparations. There is another meaning.

   Fengyun gathers in Bashu, Li Yanqing wants to solve the problem of insufficient military expenditure, and prepares to reform the salt tea monopoly. In order to suppress Li Yanqing, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji secretly instigated Zeng Xiulin to cut military expenditures for supporting Shaanxi Road. Zeng Xiulin also actively responded to the Supreme Emperor for personal interests.

Zhao Gou needed Li Yanqing's support even more in order to fight against his father's meddling in the court affairs. At the same time, he also wanted to fight against his father's infiltration of the local government. He fully supported Li Yanqing's eradication of Zeng Xiulin. Discuss reform.

  The forces of the four parties are fighting secretly in Bashu, which makes the situation in Bashu meet, and there is a faint trend of mountain rain coming.

This afternoon, Zhang Shan went to the Zizhou Examination Institute in a carriage to review the examination papers as usual. When the carriage just turned a corner on the street and entered an alley, the door of the carriage opened suddenly, and a man in black squeezed in, which immediately scared Zhang. Shan jumped, "Who are you?"

  The visitor clasped his fists and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous Zhang Yushi. In Xia Yanqing, it is Li Jinglue who makes the scout battalion in charge."

   "Are you from Li Jinglue?"

   "Exactly!"

When Zhang Shan heard that he belonged to Li Yanqing, he immediately let go of his heart. At this moment, Yanqing took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan opened the letter and read it again, then asked: "Where is the envoy Jinglue now? "

   "He is currently investigating the autumn harvest situation in Hezhou, and he is ready to return to Chengdu at any time."

  Zhang Shan nodded, "You go back and tell Li Jinglue that you can start with fighting the gold military tax. Many officials in Chengdu Fulu have complained to the court, and the officials are also very concerned about this matter."

   “But the problem now is that we don’t have trusted local officials in Chengdu Fulu.”

   "This is not a problem, I have already prepared for Li Jinglue."

  Zhang Shan took out a paper bag from the carriage and handed it to Yan Qing, "This is the information of three officials, all three of them can be used."

   "Thank you Zhang Yushi!"

  Yan Qing took the paper bag and asked again: "Is there anything else the censor has to explain?"

   "There is nothing else, you tell the envoy, please be careful, Zeng Xiulin is too powerful in Bashu, the Zeng family alone has thousands of armed servants, if Zeng Xiulin smells the smell, he will jump over the wall in a hurry."

   "I remember, Zhang Yushi is careful, someone is already watching secretly."

   After finishing speaking, Yan Qing jumped directly from the carriage onto the courtyard wall next to him, and disappeared in a flash. Zhang Shan was startled. Who was watching him, so he quickly looked behind the carriage.
