Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Xie Zhan came out of the inner study and said to Jiang Boya, who was sitting in the outer study sipping tea, "Mr. Jiang laughed."

Jiang Boya waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, as long as the matter is resolved."

Then, he solemnly warned, "In the face of a powerful enemy, such disobedience to orders must not happen again."

"Ah."

"Sir, there is news from Pingzhou." Jiang Boya handed over a thin stack of paper.

"Let me see."

Xie Zhan carefully looked at the latest news from Pingzhou. After reading it, he could only wonder, "What is Pingzhou doing?"

Lu Songli arranged for the female relatives of the Qin and Lu families to rise to high positions in the power department. This is understandable, since the power lies with Hou Yin and his family.

It is understandable that Liaodong Academy has added agricultural colleges, engineering colleges, medical colleges, and military colleges to cultivate talents.

But a few less important departments have been added?

Women's federation, street management office and township yamen, one of them manages women?The other two are to manage urban and rural people?It doesn't feel like much use.

Health centers, schools, Salesian offices, etc. cost money.Pingzhou has too much money to spend?

These departments are more likely to be established to appease the meritorious officials and share the credit.

I wonder what she is doing all this?To win people's hearts?Will it be wasted?

Jiang Boya also thought it was a bit flashy.

Xie Zhan and Jiang Boya were in the aristocratic class, and it was difficult to understand that Pingzhou was wasting energy and money on such unimportant things at the beginning of the struggle for hegemony. It would be great to have so much money to raise more troops and increase strength.

At this time, there was no such thing as "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." Otherwise, with their intelligence, they would have understood the profound meaning of Lu Songli's move.

If you don’t understand, just put it aside for now.They have a more pressing crisis to resolve in the Southland.

The two men summoned important personnel under their command to discuss the military situation.

After about two hours, they rescheduled their preliminary battle plan.

After the important matters were discussed, Xie Zhan saw that it was getting late, so he sent everyone away.

Jiang Boya stayed until the end.

Seeing this, Xie Zhan knew that he still had something to say.

"If Mr. Jiang has something to say, you might as well speak up."

Jiang Boya sighed and said, "Master Xie, do you still remember Fan Yang and Guo Chong that I mentioned to you before?"

Xie Zhan nodded. These two people were also mentioned in the Xie family's talent collection book. However, he was born late, and the two of them gradually became silent after remembering him.

Xie Zhan always knew that Jiang Boya was fighting for them for him. Could it be that he had some clues?But he didn't look like that.

"As far as I know, the two of them should be making some moves."

"Oh, are they joining the world?"

"I think it should be, but this is just my speculation."

"Mr. Jiang's speculation must be infinitely close to the facts."

Jiang Boya smiled.

Xie Zhan sincerely asked for advice, "Mr. Jiang, do you think we in Nandi can win over these two people? No matter how difficult it is, it would be good to get one of them."

Xie Zhan truly felt that compared to Pingzhou, his help was too little.

Jiang Boya pondered for a moment and said, "Both of them are intelligent and resourceful people. It's just that Guo Chong has a weird temperament and Fan Yang cherishes his reputation. I think you can try to win over Fan Yang."

Changan

Cangbe Cao and Xu Junfan came back. The first time he came back, he went to the palace to apologize to the saint.

He was kneeling there. He looked in a very bad condition, and it was obvious that he was losing weight.

He and Jiang Yi took people to Pingzhou to supervise the payment of taxes and grain.

Everything went smoothly in the front, but unexpectedly, the tax and grain were robbed by the Xianbei army later.

Jiang Yi died in Wencheng County, Liaoxi County, and was killed by rioting knights.

Only he came back alive.

Song Mo summoned him in the imperial study.

Xu Junfan explained everything that happened after he and Zuo Yi arrived in Pingzhou.

After listening to this, Song Mo stared into his eyes and asked carefully, "As far as I know, the 120 million stone tax and grain robbery was actually a play directed and performed by Lu Desheng and others in Pingzhou. Xu Junfan, what do you think? ?”

"Is that so?" Xu Junfan was surprised at first, and then showed a look of realization. "Sure enough, Wei Chen also felt that it was strange."

"At that time, Wei Chen also had doubts in his heart. Wei Chen thought at the time, regardless of whether the tax and grain robberies were true or not, if we ask Pingzhou to pay again, wouldn't the problem be solved?"

Song Mo and the two ministers present thought that this idea could not be said to be wrong.

He dropped ten points with all his strength. Facing the imperial court's request, Pingzhou did not dare to disobey.

They don't have to worry about whether it's true or false.

I just didn't expect that so many things happened later. Pingzhou rebelled, and the imperial army was unable to do anything to the Pingzhou army.

Xu Junfan continued, "The humble minister is useless. Mr. Zuo was killed in the street, and his head was..."

"Wei Chen was frightened, and due to the severe cold in Pingzhou, he fell ill."

"Pingzhou didn't care enough to treat Wei Chen. His condition was good and bad, and he was bedridden all the time. Fortunately, Wei Chen was still young, and he gradually got better after lying in bed for half a month."

"Your ability is pretty good, Pingzhou didn't recruit you?" Song Mo's eyes were sharp.

"Pingzhou wants Wei Chen to stay and serve them, but Wei Chen's heart is with the court. Wei Chen was trained by Dali, so he naturally wants to be loyal to Dali. How can he surrender to the rebellious officials and traitors? Furthermore, Wei Chen's My family is still in Chang'an. If I stay in Pingzhou, how should my family behave?" Xu Junfan said with dignity and awe.

"You left like this, and Pingzhou didn't stop you?"

Xu Junfan shook his head, "Pingzhou has always claimed to the outside world that Pingzhou is free to come and go, and Wei Chen takes care of them. So how could they lose their reputation because of such an insignificant person as Wei Chen?"

Song Mo nodded, "Okay, go down!"

Xu Junfeng respectfully withdrew.

Song Mo glanced at Liang An, who bowed and left the imperial study quietly.

"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think of Xu Junfan?"

Xiao Qun said, "It can be seen that he said earlier that he was ill in Pingzhou. This should be true."

"Sang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Sang Baiqing replied, "There are no flaws in what he said from beginning to end. From a logical point of view, it is not tight, but relaxed. When you think deeply, the details are right."

Song Mo nodded, his words sounded the same as the truth.

At this time, Zuo Anmin and Zhang Xian seemed to have fallen out of favor, and now the most respected officials in front of Song Mo were Xiao Qun, Shen Wan, Sang Baiqing and other important ministers.

This Mo now discovered that the four ministers who were given to him by his father were indeed very capable.It's a pity that in the past two years, he has been focused on fighting with them and seizing power from them.

Now he relies heavily on them in state affairs.
