Number of People

  Chapter 38 Scroll A is not that simple

   Chen Jingxuan was taken aback, and quickly helped Feng Ziying up, "Why did my nephew say that?"

  Feng Ziying was not polite either. The Linqing civil uprising was no secret, so she revealed the situation in Linqing yesterday.

  He also knows that the other party and his father are just ordinary friends, and it is unrealistic to blindly expect the other party to help. If it can attract the other party's interest, there is still some chance.

  Hearing Feng Ziying's narration of the Linqing civil uprising, Chen Jingxuan became more and more shocked the more he listened.

  Before Dongchang Mansion actually received news that Linqing civil uprising, Linqing City has been closed, but now what is going on in the city is unknown, and Dongchang Mansion has already reported the situation to Shandong Third Division.

However, due to the fact that the Linqing military preparations have led all the Linqing and Dongchang guards south to Yanzhou to suppress the bandits, it is impossible to transfer the troops back within three to five days. Waiting for three or five hundred guards to go out of the town may not be able to win in one battle. If it triggers a war that continues to Dongchang or Dezhou, I'm afraid it will be even worse.

  Water Transport has also been informed of the situation, but this is not the main responsibility of Water Transport. The governor has not convened a meeting, and it is not clear how to deal with it.

"Nephew, do you mean that you dived out of Dongshuimen?" Chen Jingxuan did not expect that Feng Ziying, who was only less than twelve years old, would have the courage to dive out under the siege of bandits. If the thieves catch it, it will be life-threatening.

  Feng Tang has only this son, and he is still the first son, but he can't help but be shocked by such a bold move.

   "Uncle, bandits are raging in the city. Although we hide in the secret room, if there is no government army to put down the chaos as soon as possible, we will have to starve to death in the secret room in three to five days, otherwise we will have to succumb to the bandits."

  Chen Jingxuan frowned and remained silent for a while.

   "Uncle, is there a problem?" Feng Ziying asked eagerly.

"Nephew, you don't know something. Although I, the general officer of the water transport, is in charge of the Cao army in name, you should also know that Li Cao is also there, and Qiao Yushi is also there. It's not my turn to speak. "Chen Jingxuan didn't hide anything, and said calmly: "Everything that is about water affairs, big or small, needs to be handled by Mr. Li Cao and Qiao Yushi together."

  The chief military officer of water transportation was considered an important member of the military profession thirty years ago, with a high position and authority, but now, it is really embarrassing.

With the establishment of the Governor-General of Water Transport, it was previously separated from the Chief Military Officer of Water Transport, and they were not in conflict with each other. However, as the power of civil servants grew, the court's pattern of using civil and military affairs became more and more obvious, and the Governor-General of Water Transport surpassed the Chief Military Officer of Water Transport. .

Later, coupled with the growing power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the censor of water transport has almost changed from a temporary dispatch to a permanent position. The entire water transport affairs is almost a joint situation between the governor of water transport and the censor of water transport. In fact, the commander-in-chief was reluctant to accompany the last seat.

  Feng Ziying was not very clear about the situation here, but after Chen Jingxuan said this, he finally understood.

   No wonder that when I asked Wang Shaoquan about the situation of the chief officer of the water transport, Wang Shaoquan was vague and didn't mention it much.

   "Then what should we do?" Feng Ziying was disappointed.

The reason why I thought there was hope for coming to Liaocheng before was that I had the relationship with Chen Jingxuan. I asked to see Li Sancai, and Chen Jingxuan could help me out. The general officer of the water transport was speechless at all.

"Nephew, it's not that my uncle refuses to help. If it's another Cao Zong or Yushi, it's not the two of them, my uncle can also help me with a few words, but the two of them, hehe..." Chen Jingxuan shook his head again and again. Face wry smile.

"Uncle, why did you say that?" Feng Ziying became interested. Now that he has come, he will definitely not stop there. Even if Chen Jingxuan can't help, he is going to ask Li Sancai to see him, and he must have a result on this matter. .

"This Mr. Li Cao and that Qiao Yushi are at odds. Li Cao is always a Jinshi in the 14th year of Yuanxi, and Qiao Yushi is a Jinshi in the 26th year of Yuanxi. But Mr. Li Cao has always been in the household department and Nanjing, while Mr. Qiao Yushi has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate all along, and the two of them had some quarrels when they were in the capital, so when it comes to water affairs, it's even more critical,..."

  As soon as Chen Jingxuan said the words, Feng Ziying roughly understood that these were two rival governors and censors. Maybe the imperial court arranged for Qiao Yushi to be responsible for the water affairs, which was intentional.

  This is troublesome, and now the censor has great power, even the Governor of Water Transport has to give up three points, otherwise there will be endless attacks, and even attract the attack and suppression of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.

   "Then uncle, if we want to mobilize soldiers, is it chief Li Cao, or Qiao Yushi...?" Feng Ziying wanted to ask this question clearly, which was related to his next move.

"Of course it is Mr. Li Cao. After all, he is the governor of water affairs and admiral of military affairs. Well, I heard that the court intends to let him also manage the river. After returning to Beijing this time, the court may discuss this." It seems to be aware of some of Feng Ziying. Intent, Chen Jingxuan frowned and said: "But Qiao Yushi is extremely tough, I'm afraid it won't be because of this..."

Chen Jingxuan's implication is also very clear, Qiao Yingjia will not easily bow his head just because Li Sancai still wants to use him again, he is a censor who is here to restrain the other party, if he doesn't agree with him, he will fight to the death, and he will not will back off.

  From Chen Jingxuan, Feng Ziying has been thinking about how to break this deadlock.

  Chen Jingxuan still introduced some information to him.

Li Sancai is the one who dares to do things, but this man is scheming. He will do his best to do what he thinks is worth doing. If he thinks it is not worth doing, he will compromise. He also felt that it was not worth turning against Qiao Yingjia because of this matter, so he might give up.

Feng Ziying could see through it. This Chen Jingxuan did not have the right to speak in the water affairs. After thinking about it, he was also a commander-in-chief. If it is placed there, some thin noodles will still remain.

   But based on his friendship with his father, he probably didn't think it was worth getting involved in the muddy waters between the Governor of Water Transport and the Censor of Water Transport.

   Stomach growled for a while. Looking at Zuo Liangyu's expression, Feng Ziying knew that she must be hungry. After a whole night of tossing, the iron man couldn't stand it, let alone two young boys who were growing up.

  Feng Ziying nodded: "Erlang, find a delicious place, let's fill our stomachs first, and then think about how to do things."

"Brother, isn't it difficult?" Zuo Liangyu cheered up. He was already so hungry that his chest was on his back. Feng Ziying called Chen Jingxuan earlier, so he was naturally not eligible to enter the mansion, so he could only stay outside the mansion. Qian Yin could only endure it, who would have thought that Feng Ziying would spend more than an hour entering the mansion, and he would be so hungry that his eyes would stare.

"Well, how can it be so easy?" Feng Ziying lifted her foot and walked away, looking around. This Dongchang Prefecture is also a prosperous place, not much inferior to Linqing Prefecture. Logically, this is where the prefecture is located, but Linqing Due to the special geographical location, the industry and commerce are even more prosperous, but Dongchang Mansion is also impressive.

I found an ordinary restaurant, and first ordered some cage cakes and steamed cakes, which are the most common meals in this ordinary restaurant, and of course there are some extravagant things, such as mutton, Feng Ziying naturally will not treat herself badly, Come for two catties, and then two bowls of noodle soup, let's deal with it first.

  Looking at Zuo Liangyu's gorging posture, sweating profusely and rolling her eyes from choking, Feng Ziying also shook her head. This appearance is simply insulting to gentlemen, but I have to say that this is the most authentic side of this era.

After finally swallowing a piece of mutton, Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath, feeling that he was half full, and then began to slow down his eating speed, "Brother, why don't you eat it? This one tastes good, and the mutton is so tender , fragrant."

   "Well, you can eat." Feng Ziying also tore the mutton slowly, thinking about countermeasures.

   Looking for support during the Spring Festival, ^_^.
