After the winter solstice, the snow in Qishui County became heavier. Qingquan Temple is now the palace of the rebels. In the early morning, the palace was peaceful. Only the cleaning palace people got up early. Before the master gets up in the morning, he sweeps away the dirt and leaves on every road. If there is snow and water stains on the road where the nobleman slips, it will be a crime ranging from beating and scolding to beheading.Fortunately, this Qingliang Temple is not a real imperial palace at all, there is no one hundred and eight rooms in the Sangong and Six Courtyards, so the palace people will not miss the time when cleaning.

Suddenly, the silent palace was broken by the sound of a galloping horse coming!

Xu Shouzhen struggled from the gentle township, hurriedly put on his coat, and arrived at the meeting hall. At this time, except for the general who was leading the troops outside, all the others arrived. Everyone's face was loose with sleepiness, obviously they had just been put on the bed by the attendants shouted.

The scout who reported the military situation knelt down in the hall, and said sonorously: "Report! Your Majesty, a force with unknown affiliation and wearing a red scarf ran between the mountains and forests of Jianning and Xinzhou, and attacked Jianning City several times. Recently, Dalu Huachi in Fujian Province sent troops to suppress the bandits, but was accidentally killed. All the officers and soldiers under his command fled. Now it has fallen into the hands of the Han family."

Xu Shouzhen frowned, "Does anyone here know what the origin of this Han family is, but will it hinder our future pursuit of Fujian?"

The people who followed Xu Shouzhen were all grassroots farmers. They didn't have many educated people, and almost all of them were from the northern part of the Central Plains. They didn't know anything about the forces in the southern land.But fortunately, Peng Yu, a military adviser and prime minister who can tell one or two origins of the Han family, was present here. He stepped out, cupped his hands and said, "During the years when I was a monk, I traveled all over the world for alms, and heard a lot of news about the Han family. The Han family is one of the most prominent families in the southeast region. Although they started their business with business, they are now mainly engaged in business. However, it is said that the wealth is incomparable to the country, and its power is deeply rooted. It has connections with many government officials. Now that the Han family is in charge of Fuzhou, it can be said for His Majesty's plan to seize the southern land. It is very unfavorable!"

"How can this be good?"

"That group of people who also wear red scarves are the Qinglian Sect surnamed Luo Na? Why did they come to our territory?"

"Not necessarily, maybe the congregation in other places rebelled, how dare the surname Luo go to Xinzhou and Jianning, isn't he afraid of being surrounded by our troops?"

"It doesn't matter now. The important thing is that the Han family is quite powerful, so it sounds difficult to deal with!"

"If you want me to tell you, you are thinking too much. The Han family is a profiteer. The family soldiers in his hands are no match for the hundreds of thousands of tigers and lions under your majesty. Now they have taken the opportunity to seize Fuzhou and even the province of Fujian. , so why not be afraid, let me tell you, the Han family is a big fat sheep, rich as a country, I heard that there is also a Cen family there, who is engaged in the business of icing and women's supplies, making a daily income of tens of thousands of taels, if we Leading troops to snatch the territory of Fuzhou, isn't the lord sitting on such monstrous wealth?"

Xu Shouzhen, who was in the first place, was said to be ready to move by the people below. After all, money touches people's hearts. On the contrary, Peng Yu, the prime minister here who knows a little about the Han family, firmly opposed it. How to repel the group of bandits who attacked Jianning Xinzhou? According to the previous scout report, that group of forces is estimated to have tens of thousands of people. From this, it can be seen that the Han family has been raising soldiers all the time. Your Majesty, think twice! Wait and see, check the Han family's strength before making a decision."

Half of the credit for Xu Shou's achievement of where he is now belongs to Prime Minister Peng Yu. After being persuaded by him, he had no choice but to temporarily hold back his desire to rob big households to fill the treasury, and discuss with everyone how to send more scouts to Fuzhou to investigate.

…………

Less than a few days before the twelfth lunar month, every household has started to buy new year's goods. It's the end of the year. If you have money or not, you have to have a good year. However, an explosive news spread from Fuzhou quickly, diverting people's attention. In the past few days, the teahouses and restaurants are almost full, rumors are flying, and the undercurrent is gradually surging.

"Have you heard that the general of the rebels surnamed Xu came to Fuzhou with his troops! The governor surnamed Yu packed up his belongings and fled overnight, and Dalu Huachi, who was in charge of the army, was killed! Listen! It is said that the blood outside the city has been shed all night!"

Some people also learned some gossip and vowed: "Some of my relatives are soldiers guarding the city gate. I heard that the absconded Mr. Yu has twenty cars in his house, and several cars are covered with dirt. There are deep ruts on the road!" When the man said this, he lowered his voice, looked around, and then whispered to his deskmate: "Those cars are full of boxes of gold and silver. !"

"Hey! How much does this cost!"

"This Fuyin master is too rich!"

"It's all the people's fat and people's anointing from the search! This dog official surnamed Yu is greedy for life and fears death, and he was the first to run away with his family regardless of the lives of our people! How can such a person be worthy of being a parent official!"

As soon as the news spread into Le County, people were panic-stricken. Everyone was worried that in a few days, Emperor Xu's army would occupy Le County. At that time, Emperor Xu didn't know how to treat the people under him. Zhuang was conscripted into Xu Shouhui's Fragrant Army, and now everyone wears a red turban.

"Oh my god! Fuzhou has been occupied by the rebel army. Wouldn't it be a matter of time before Le County falls?! What should we do?"

"Relax and listen to me, Fuzhou has not been occupied by Emperor Xu's army, and our Le County is fine. Let me tell you, there is no better time for Le County than now!"

"Not occupied? That's good, that's good. Doesn't it mean that Dalu Huachi who led the army was killed? Who can resist this group of disorderly troops?"

"Why do you say that, Xiongtai? Is there any happy event in Le County?"

The person who spread the news smiled mysteriously, took a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, and said more leisurely, "Do you know who is taking over as Governor?"

Someone poured him a cup of tea and urged him: "All of you here have been busy buying cement and repairing houses this winter, and have never been to Fuzhou. I don't know better than you. You don't have to be fooled. Tell me quickly! I'm so anxious! "

The man said: "It is our current county magistrate, Master Han! Oh, no, it should be called Han Fu Yin now."

The audience was in an uproar, what is going on?How come it's so good, just after a winter solstice, after eating the winter solstice circle, this master Han has changed from a county magistrate in Le County to a governor of Fuzhou? !

Not to mention that others didn't understand or couldn't believe it, even Xie Shi was stunned when he heard the news. His eyes were wide open, like a frightened little rabbit with a pastry in his mouth. After taking a few mouthfuls and swallowing quickly, he said in surprise, "How did you manage to occupy Fuzhou so quietly?"

Seeing that he was eating fast, Han Ji quickly pushed Jianzhan to him, beckoned him to drink tea to moisten his throat, and said, "Ah Shi is not in a hurry, eat slowly, I will tell you one by one." Xie Shi held back Shocked, he obediently picked up a cup of tea and listened to him explain the reason in detail.

But it turned out that after the Han family delivered the letter that day, Fuzhou governor Yin Yuhuai had no military power, so in order to protect himself, he had to go to Chahan Totar, who was in charge of the Tiger Talisman in Fujian Province, and asked Chahan to apply for military assistance from the court, and Lead troops to Jianning to fight against the rebels, lest the fire come to Fuzhou.

Chahan, who just got drunk and had a fat face, didn't take it seriously at first. He thought that the rebel Xu Shou really couldn't have such a great ability to attack Fujian, and that he overestimated this group of mobs if he was able to hold the Jiangbei that is now occupied. Sooner or later, these motley troops of peasants will be suppressed by the government troops sent by the imperial court. By then, Fujian province including Fuzhou will be safe and sound. The worries of Governor Yu are simply unfounded.

However, Yu Huai believed in the letter from the Han family, why?Because Han Ji's base camp is in Fuzhou!If Xu Shouzhen's army enters the southern border, there will be no eggs under the nest. According to the Xu family's method of robbing the rich and helping the poor all the way to grow, behemoths like the Han family will bear the brunt.Yu Huai believed that this was the reason why the Han family rushed to the door as soon as they heard the news, and wanted to help fight the rebels.

Hearing that Chahan said that the imperial court would send troops to suppress it, Yu Huai asked if it was true, and when to send troops, don't wait until the rebels have all attacked Fuzhou, and the daylily will be cold by then!

Mentioning this, Chahan recalled that his cousin was enshrined as Dalu Huachi in Runing Prefecture by the Holy Lord, and ordered him to fight against the rebels of the Qinglian Sect, but he lost to the rebels, lost three cities in a row, and was later captured by the enraged His Majesty beheaded his head. Thinking about it, Chahan finally restrained his contempt. After all, his cousin was not considered a rich man, so he was defeated by the rebels. Huai Yinyin dissuaded him, so he sent a team of reconnaissance teams to Jianning and Xinzhou to investigate the enemy's situation.

Chahan didn't know that as soon as Yu Huai, who was flattering and smiling at him, got out of the military mansion and got in the car, his face was pulled down, gloomy like a Rakshasa, and when he returned to the mansion, he ordered his family members to start packing up the valuables , I went into the study, closed the door, meditated for a long time, suddenly rubbed the ink, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and sent it to Dadu quickly.

Those essential oils and washing gift boxes sent by Tozen’s family, Yu Huai is now famous in front of all the ladies in the palace, especially Xiangfei, who became the first person to eat crabs, and became favored by these little things. What's more, not long ago, the natal family of the Concubine Xiangfei wrote a letter to Yu Huai to thank him. It came in handy!

Xie Shi was shocked and said: "Then the governor of Yu really escaped? In this way, the imperial court will definitely punish him?" To be able to hold the position of governor, he is also a member of the party. Yu Huai can't be so stupid, right?

Han Ji shook his head, and replied: "Of course not, Yu Fu Yin has been promoted to the central government, but he just took up his post earlier."

It turned out that Yu Huai got the attention of the concubine Xiang in the palace, and donated half of his net worth, so that the concubine Xiang could blow her pillow.The power of the pillow wind was indeed great, and soon Yu Huai received the imperial edict from Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Honor and Rites.Logically speaking, Yu Huai should have waited until the new governor took office, handed over the official seal and the government certificate, and then took office. However, when the people sent to Jianning to investigate the enemy's situation came back, they learned that there were incense troops outside Jianning City who were constantly attacking the city. Deeply aware that the situation was not good, Yu Huai, who was in danger of his life, immediately went to the post overnight with the appointment edict and the whole family...

Xie Shi suddenly showed a smile of understanding, he was going to the post at this juncture, in fact, he heard the news and ran away greedy for life and fear of death.

"Then how did Brother Ji suddenly become the governor of Fuzhou?"

"It's just a small plan."

The subplan that Han Ji was talking about was actually to send thousands of soldiers under him to pretend to be Xu Shouzhen's army, and then run around to fight guerrilla warfare, making people panic and besieged on all sides. Chahan, who was reported by the scouts, could not be "promoted" and leave like Yu Huai. In order to keep his official position and not to repeat the mistakes of his cousins, he lost the city and was beheaded by the emperor. ... As a result, before the army arrived in Jianning, it was led by Han Jiajun and Qi Teng, who were pretending to be Xu Jun, and they were attacked from front to back. All the sergeants under him were also captured. To engage in infrastructure.

In fact, Han Ji's devious operation was to reasonably bring Fuzhou and even the whole of Fujian under his command under the guise of the rebel Xu Shouzhen attacking the city without excessively alarming the court and revealing Han Ji's rebellious ambitions, and won A good name for a rescue!It's killing three birds with one stone!Xie Shi was amazed when he heard it, and had to sigh, the one who plays politics is the heart, I guess Xu Shouzhen hasn't realized it yet, he has been used!
