Chapter 91
In the Mingzhou Governor's Office.
Governor Cheng Mingzhen looked at Qin Lang, but Qin Lang was also looking at the governor.
Governor Cheng was guessing where this young man came from, and he could actually accompany the former Sui Princess Nanyang, Dou Jiande's Princess Yong'an, and Hebei pioneer Su Lie. He looked so young, but his simple white robe was really hard to guess.
Qin Lang looked at Cheng Mingzhen with great interest. It was absolutely not easy to be able to go from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a third-rank governor in just a few years.
Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen was only in his early forties, he was also from Qin Qiong's generation. He was tall and burly, but he was obviously different from those generals. He had a bit of elegance.
Qin Lang took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Governor Cheng, I will even feel wronged you."
Cheng Mingzhen was stunned and didn't know what he meant.
Qin Lang continued to smile and said, "Chang'an civil strife, the King of Lujiang has called on the heroes of Yanzhao, Hebei, to raise troops to Chang'an, clear the king's side, and serve the royal family! From now on, General Su will take over as the governor and governor of Mingzhou, and ask the governor of Cheng to cooperate."
Cheng Mingzhen's expression changed drastically, and his eyes suddenly became firm.
Looking at Qin Lang, he no longer looked at curiosity, but became hostile.
"Come···"
As soon as he shouted out the word "I"did, Lin San had already put a dagger on Cheng Mingzhen's throat.
Qin Lang persuaded with a smile, "Governor Cheng, please cooperate, otherwise the knife in my hand would be very good."
"Who are you? Are Dou Jiande's remnants? Could it be Dou Jiande's adopted son?"
Cheng Mingzhen's eyes swept across Dou Hongxian and Su Lie. After Dou was defeated and captured, Dou's wife Cao and left and right Pushe withdrew back to Hebei. At that time, a general proposed to support Dou's adopted son to succeed the throne and continue to resist. However, Pushe Qi Shanxing firmly opposed it, believing that Dou Jiande led a army of more than 100,000 to the south, but he was captured in a battle at Hulao Pass. The overall situation was settled and God's will was difficult to violate.
Finally, Cao and Qi Shanxing and others presented to Hebei and surrendered.
Qin Lang continued to smile, "Governor Cheng is also a capable person. If he can join us and plan major issues together, then he will be conquered Chang'an and then the Governor Cheng will not lose his position as a prince."
Cheng Mingzhen snorted coldly, "Li Yuan's plot to rebel and rebellion, is that he will kill himself? He also entered Chang'an. I am afraid that Li Yuan's head will travel to Chang'an Street within a month. I advise you not to have any more delusions. It is best to be able to abandon darkness and turn to light and atone for his sins."
"General Cheng, don't you want to toast and not eat the punishment for the wine?"
"Do you think that if you kidnapped this governor, you can seize Mingzhou? You are delusional. You can't even get out of this hall gate. I advise you to let me go quickly!" Cheng Mingzhen was not forced by Qin Lang's threat at all.
Outside the hall, there were sounds of officials and servants in the yamen of the Governor's Office walking and talking, but Cheng Mingzhen was not afraid at all.
Qin Lang walked forward and stared at Cheng Mingzhen's eyes, "Isn't the governor really afraid of death?"
"You should be afraid of!"
"Governor, your life is yours. If you die, you will lose nothing. Is it worthy of being so loyal to the court? Besides, I don't think the governor's previous experience is that he is not the one who is loyal to the victim."
"I would like to advise you that Li Yuan will not do anything."
Qin Lang took out his dagger and walked to Cheng Mingzhen, but he still did not move at all.
"Then I can only send the governor to the road." Qin Lang said as he looked into his eyes, and raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it fiercely.
Cheng Mingzhen felt a pain in his abdomen.
Qin Lang turned the dagger a few times.
"The governor is really good." Qin Lang took back his dagger and patted Cheng Mingzhen on the arm. Cheng Mingzhen lowered his head in surprise, and found that his abdomen had not been pierced.
It turned out that Qin Lang stabbed him with the handle of the dagger just now.
"If you want to kill, kill, there is no need to humiliate and play with it!" Cheng Mingzhen was angry.
Qin Lang signaled Lin San to put away the dagger, then took a few steps back, and bowed deeply to Cheng Mingzhen.
"I will introduce myself. Qin Lang's name is Huailiang, and the Chief of the Datang Governor. I just tried the governor, please forgive me!"
"Qin Lang? Qin Shubao's son?"
Of course, Cheng Mingzhen knew who Qin Lang was. The court would regularly copy the government newspapers to the governors and governors of the world, and pass them through the post station. The contents of the government newspapers were mainly the emperor's decrees, ministers' memorials, laws and regulations published by the court, and other government documents, which were reference information for internal copying.
It is convenient for local officials to understand the dynamics in the court in a timely manner.
After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin seized the position of crown prince and issued imperial edicts to various places as soon as possible. Of course, the sealed palace reports were also spread to prefectures and counties. Although the specific process of Xuanwu Gate that day was reviewed, the external arguments were somewhat modified. The official statement was that the deposed crown prince Jiancheng and Yuanji plotted rebellion and rebelled. The Qin King led his troops to defend the rebellion of King Jing, repelled the deposed crown prince's palace soldiers, and guarded the Tai Chi Palace.
Afterwards, the emperor issued an edict to abolish Jiancheng Yuanji as a commoner, and grant Qin the crown prince the crown prince. He handed Jiancheng Yuanji to the new crown prince for disposal...
Among these residence reports, Qin Lang's name appeared several times, and after the Jingyun, the boy was promoted to the title very prominently. Therefore, Cheng Mingzhen also knew that Qin Qiong and Qin Lang were the most trusted by the new crown prince in Chang'an City.
"What's going on?"
Cheng Mingzhen saved his life, but he was not happy.
The third-rank governor was so proud that he was not feeling well by the sword just now.
Qin Lang showed off his Qilin Seal of the Funeral Division!
"Li Yuan, Wang Junguo plotted to rebel in Youzhou."
"And what I just said about General Su being the governor of Mingzhou is true, but it was just a false delegation from Li Yuan and others."
After some introduction, Cheng Mingzhen cleverly understood the reason for the incident.
Obviously, Qin Lang was ordered by the prince to deal with Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo. He came secretly. He must have come to Mingzhou to find his own support, but he did not completely believe in himself, so he had the test just now.
"I don't have to do this, I, Cheng Mingzhen, are loyal to the court!"
Qin Lang smiled and said nothing.
"Qin Sicheng, since he has discovered that the two bandits of Li and Wang have rebelled, he should immediately dispatch troops to quell the rebellion. I will issue an order to summon troops and horses in the seven states of Mingzhou to be in chaos."
Qin Lang stopped Cheng Mingzhen.
"Governor Cheng, please wait. Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo are still planning to rebel secretly. We are afraid that it will not be too late to transfer troops at the moment. Besides, it is not the best way to gather troops to fight."
"That's what Qin Sicheng meant?"
Qin Lang then talked about his plan.
"So I have to feel wronged in Governor Cheng."
Cheng Mingzhen thought for a while, "It's nothing to be your 'captive', but can Li Yuan and the others believe it? Li Yuan has no ability, but Wang Junkuo has to be wary of it. This man is very cunning! And Wang Shi, who is a local snake in Youzhou."
Qin Lang pointed at Su Lie, "So I invited General Su and Niang Dou to send their letter to Youzhou first, and I will definitely gain the trust of the thieves."
Qin Lang's plan was very simple, and asked Su Dingfang and Dou Xianniang to reply to Li Yuan, expressing his willingness to respond to the major events. Then he asked Cheng Mingzhen to cooperate and pretend that Su Dingfang had summoned his old subordinates to control the Mingzhou Governor's Office, and then took his troops to Youzhou to meet.
Of course, in fact, Qin Lang led Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang and others to gather troops from Mingxiang to Youzhou to attack the tiger's den.
"We will attack the thief's cave. At that time, we will avoid war in Hebei. At this time, Hebei will not be in chaos, otherwise the Turks will take the opportunity to invade again."
The plan was very bold, Cheng Mingzhen was surprised by the courage of Qin Lang, a young man, but seeing that he insisted on the plan, he didn't care about his temporary cooperation with the acting.
"I'll just mobilize troops to gather."
"I mean the opposite. At present, the soldiers and horses of the seven states of Mingxiang cannot gather to come to Ming, but on the contrary, they must stick to the local area and strengthen vigilance to avoid those evil people responding and causing chaos."
"Why go to Youzhou?"
"There is no need for military service, so you can borrow two or three thousand people from the Governor's Office."
In order to be more realistic, Qin Lang asked Su Lie if he could recruit some old subordinates.
"With General Su's prestige, he raised his arms and shouted, and there were many people who would definitely respond. After the chaos comes, I will definitely express my merits and reward you to the court."
Su Lie thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
So he immediately wrote to his brothers and asked them to come to Mingzhou.
Cheng Mingzhen also began to summon officers near Mingzhou to discuss matters.
Su Lie only wrote letters to more than a dozen subordinates, but everyone who received the letter rushed to Mingzhou immediately. Before they set off, they each wrote letters to their subordinates and brothers they had written.
So, in the next few days, all the heroes and heroes from Hebei gathered in Mingzhou. In just a few days, Su Dingfang attracted thousands of people.
Dou Hongxian didn't wait. She also sent letters to some old subordinates and relatives and friends, and thousands of people came in a few days.
Cheng Mingzhen also drew a thousand soldiers from near Mingzhou in a few days.
In the camp outside Mingzhou City, Qin Lang showed the Qilin Order to the three thousand brave heroes.
"I, Qin Lang, always took care of my brothers and subordinates when I was in trouble. On that day, Chang'an was in chaos. After the thousands of my brothers were awarded titles, nineteen were awarded officials, three hundred were awarded medals, and the rest were rewarded with money, grain, and land, and everyone had a share."
"Today, I will come to help you and get the chaos. After the matter is completed, I will also express my merits to the prince for you. Even if a brother unfortunately dies, I promise that his children will also grant additional military service to the palace or choose three guards, and the pension and allowance will not be reduced."
"You three thousand people, whether they are soldiers or righteous people at this moment, now I will give each person twenty acres of land, five thousand yuan, ten stones of rice, and twenty pieces of silk! Let's keep them all in the account for the time being, and we will give them together to collect them."
It is normal to have heavy rewards for rebellion and chaos.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards, not to mention that these people were carefully selected, including the elite Hebei government soldiers. These people stationed here after pacifying Dou Jiande and Liu Heita. There were also soldiers from Hebei who retired to the countryside after being defeated and are now summoned by Dou Hongxian and Su Lie.
There were Cheng Mingzhen, Su Dingfang and Dou Hongxian standing beside him, and the three thousand men below expressed their conviction to the young Qin Sicheng on the stage.
What's more, this Qin Sicheng was a person who led prisoners, rangers, and evil boys to make great contributions to the Jingyun during the Jingyun Rebellion not long ago.
