Chapter five hundred and nineteenth

Although Zhou Wentai is a "new party", like his old teacher Cai Bian, he has been determined to reform for decades, and has been exiled for many years and has remained unchanged.

However, the court's reforms were very different from those during the Shenzong period, especially this time on Jiangnan West Road, which revealed the court's extremely strong, domineering and firm intentions for reforms.

Zhou Wentai was panicked. Apart from writing a copy of "grabbing merits" to the court, he didn't know what to do for a while.

After discussing with Han Zhengyi for a long time, he decided to force the power to seize the power first, control Hongzhou Prefecture, and wait for the arrival of the new "Person of All-Person".

It was not just Zhou Wentai who received the news.

In the northwest corner of Hongzhou Prefecture, this place was originally a deserted courtyard. Someone suddenly bought it all, and a large number of craftsmen are repairing it.

Judging from the simple outline and the plaque being carved, this is to push down and rebuild several yards and build a large yamen!

——Nanhuangchengsi.

At this time, Cai You lived in a small building not far away.

He lies out during the day and goes out at night, and basically stays in the room during the day. Few people know what he is busy with.

At this moment, a guard of the Imperial City Department knocked on the door with three carrier pigeons and said anxiously: "Command, come from the capital, come from the palace, come from the sedan."

Cai You suddenly sat up from the chair, opened the door, snatched three carrier pigeons and closed the door again.

Cai You took out three letters and threw the pigeon through the window.

He looked solemn and even washed his hands before he spread it out carefully and looked at it carefully.

The first letter came from the capital city, which was heard by Cai You who arranged by someone outside the Imperial City Division. This is what it means that in the capital city, "All things have been settled, and major things have come."

The second letter was from the palace, which was sent by the provincial eunuch. In the name of tangerine peel, he told Cai You that the court made up his mind to establish the "Nanhuangcheng Municipal" and that officials at all levels were appointed by Cai You.

The third letter was sent by the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, telling Cai You that the Imperial City Department received an order from the Political Affairs Hall and would significantly increase its organization and distributed a thousand good horses. The Imperial City Department's imperial guards were renamed "Guards" and the cavalry "Tiqi" was established!

Cai Bian's eyes were wide open, and his breath was a little rapid.

He had been waiting for this day long and finally arrived!

The court made up its mind that the Imperial City Department was not only a third-rank yamen. With the establishment of the "Nanhuangcheng Department", it was equipped with a thousand cavalry. It can be said that except for the Zhengshi Hall, Cai You only needed to obtain it, and even did not need evidence. He looked at the Song Dynasty with the charge of "resisting the new law". He could do whatever he wanted to rectify!

This is an extremely huge power, in his own hands!

Cai You gritted his teeth hard, his gums bleeding. He was afraid that this was a dream, and he suddenly woke up and became empty!

Fortunately, he didn't wake up.

Immersed in great joy, my face was so excited that it was twisted.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"

Suddenly, three knocks sounded outside the door.

Cai You was shocked and almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

He took a breath, then his face was a little gloomy. He walked over to open the door and was about to scold him, but his expression changed again. In the middle, he forced a smile and said, "Official Li."

Li Yan waved his hands repeatedly, as if he was startled, and said, "Commander Cai, don't want to kill the villain. The villain is the errand runner-up of the eunuch, and he dare not be called a high-ranking official."

He said, looking at both sides of the door, and then he looked at the relief when he saw no one.

Cai You despised him. This man was a clear villain who flattered you. He had no shame and could not even know a lot of big words. He really didn't understand why the official and Chenpi sent this person to follow him.

Although I looked down on you, I still smiled and said, "Official Li, don't be humble, please come in quickly."

"No, no, the villain said a few words and left."

Li Yan was sorry for both hands, only his mouth was moving, but this tone made people feel like he was nodding and bowing. He was in his early thirties, and his temperament should be a kind of maturity and steady, but his face was a bit morbid, giving people a sense of yin energy.

Cai You knew that this person was sent by the palace to monitor him, so he naturally did not dare to be careless and said in surprise: "What's the matter? Labor Officer Li came here in person? Could it be that Wang Cun was going to have an accident?"

Li Yan was surprised and said, "Commander Cai is indeed wise. I just received a letter from Feige in the palace. The Political Affairs Hall was preparing to report to Wang Cun for ungrateing his duties and betraying his grace, and asked Command Cai to send someone to escort Wang Xianggong back to Tokyo."

Cai You was not surprised at all. In his opinion, Wang Cun’s approach was still the same, "taking into account the overall situation", but he didn’t know that the government and the court asked him to break the ice, not to let him pass the Jiangnan West Road.

A few days after the end of the year, all kinds of opposition from the court were suppressed by the government. The last piece of Jiangnan West Road will remain until now, and will undoubtedly be the first shot to implement the "New Law" next year. How can the key points be delayed?

Wang Cun completely didn’t understand the overall situation, and he was guilty of his own fault and could not survive!

When he returned this time, Wang Cun's prime minister might be guaranteed, but his status is probably worse than that of the six ministers of the ministers.

Cai You's heart was like lightning, and he thought clearly, so he naturally did not dare to refuse, saying, "Don't worry, I will send someone to take care of you to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Now the court is unpredictable, and the local area is like boiling water. People's chaos is coming one after another, and it is endless. Bandits and robbers are everywhere, and they are almost blooming everywhere.

Li Yan said with a pale face, smiling and smiling, "Then I'll have to do it. Oh, by the way, Chief Chen also left me a message saying that there is no place in the palace for the time being, so I'll stay in Hongzhou for the time being, and maybe I can help Commander Cai with some help."

Cai You knew very well that Li Yan was trying to monitor him.

He didn't care at all. If the palace let go, he would be afraid. He raised his hand and said politely: "Then you have to be a blessing from Chief Li, so you can help more."

Li Yan had a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into a line, and said, "Okay, the villain will be in charge of the Nanhuangcheng City. If you don't disturb Commander Cai's business, the villain will say goodbye."

Cai You quickly raised his hand, went out, looked at Li Yan's back, and said, "Official Li is walking slowly."

Li Yan left with a smile and walked downstairs around the corner.

The smiles piled up on Cai You's face slowly disappeared, and his expression was a little bad.

What Li Yan said just now was "sitting in charge"!

What does this Li Yan mean? Is the fox pretending to be a tiger?

Imperial City Department is Cai You's foundation. If it falls into the hands of others, it will be like killing him!

Cai You's eyes changed for a while, and he followed him downstairs. He wanted to take advantage of this expansion to hold the Imperial City Secret in his hands!

Hongzhou Prefecture, Governor's Office.

Wang Cun was wearing a thick cotton coat and sat in the small room in the backyard. Even with the carbon stove, he still felt cold. He said to Liu Zhiyi, who was standing opposite him: "The south is too wet and cold, and I am still not used to it."

Liu Zhiyi had no expression on his face, and he had no good feelings for this Wang Xianggong.

The matter of Jiangnan West Road was simply left unresolved under this man's manipulation.

Especially He Yi's death was unknown, and he actually wanted to close the case with "died from fatigue" and even planned to write a letter to the court to posthumously give He Yi and give it to his family.

What's going on?

A dignified imperial envoy died inexplicably, and it was just like that?

Liu Zhiyi said: "I remember that Wang Xianggong is not a northerner."

Wang Cun seemed to not know Liu Zhiyi's dissatisfaction with him. He leaned against the fire, his face shining red and white, and said, "I've been in the north for a long time, so why don't you? Liu Chanzheng, you are also from the fourth rank, can you consider the future?"

Liu Zhiyi tried to speak in a calm tone: "Mr. Wang Xianggong, the lower-rank official has just come from the third rank, and he dare not ask for it for a short time."

Wang Cun smiled and stared at Luhuo, saying, "The fourth rank of Jiangnan West Road is different from the fourth rank of Beijing. This Jiangnan West Road will definitely be in chaos for a while. What is left behind is still hard to say what the future will be."

Liu Zhiyi was stunned and said, "What did you mean by Xianggong Wang for a while?"

Wang Cun raised his head, looked out the window, and sighed softly: "The longer you press, the heavier the consequences. If I was right, my grandfather might have to make big moves. There is no peaceful life on Jiangnan West Road."

Liu Zhiyi has been waiting for the court to make the decision for He Yi and break through the muddy waters of Jiangnan West Road!

He didn't ask, and vaguely felt that it seemed that it was really coming!

Wang Cun's expression was obscure for a while, he glanced at Liu Zhiyi, and said with a clear smile: "I went south from Tokyo, and I don't know how many people want to worship me, and this is even more so on the West Road in Jiangnan. You are a few people who can still hold on to yourself without a foundation in the court. I don't want to recruit you, but I think it's a talent. I want to keep talents for the court and let you avoid disaster."

When Liu Zhiyi saw that Wang Cun had said the truth, he stopped hiding it and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang. However, even in the dilemma, there is no reason for the lower officials to escape. If the lower officials leave today, they will leave somewhere else tomorrow. The lower officials study hard not to be an official, but to ask for the people."

Wang Cun looked at the stove and smiled faintly, saying, "In a few years, you will know how naive you are today. Wait, in just one or two days, the court will send news first. The new governor, maybe young, maybe after the New Year, maybe after the New Year, or after the court promulgated the new policy."

Wang Cun looked at the flames and seemed to be in a bad mood, saying, "At the time, it was Wang Anshi who exiled us. We exiled Cai Que and others in Yuanyouchu. Now, Zhang Zihou is here to take revenge again. Maybe three years, maybe five years, or ten years at the latest. Zhang Dun and others will leave the capital and die in a foreign land."

Wang Cun's words were very plain, not cursing anything.

The Song Dynasty did not kill ministers, but few people were not exiled. Many ministers either died on their way out of capital or on their way back to capital.

It's not strange, it's normal.

Liu Zhiyi paid attention to it and said instead: "Gonggong Wang, the court wants to escort Ying Guan, Luan Qi and others to Beijing. Why did Mr. Wen refuse?"

Wang Cun said: "It's not a rejection, it's the wrong time, wait a little longer."

Liu Zhiyi said: "I heard that Dali Temple will set up a circuit verdict on Jiangnan West Road to be responsible for all lawsuits on Jiangnan West Road. If Wang Xianggong thinks it is inappropriate to wait for someone to enter Beijing, Xiaguan recommends that the trial be held in Hongzhou Prefecture."

None of these are what Wang Cun wants.

Wang Cun covered the carbon stove with both hands, roasted the fire, and said carelessly: "Let's leave these to the new governor. Let's all take a little lighter. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so don't get into trouble."

Liu Zhiyi was very unhappy with Wang Cun's attitude of retreating from everything. After all, he was my husband again, so he was not easy to have an attack, so he forced himself to not speak.
