Chapter eight hundred and eighty fifth: Unprepared
In the busyness and joyfulness of welcoming the arrival of the New Year, time passes quickly, and the end of the year is coming in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu gradually became idle, and he also reduced the number of times he went to Zhenguo Mansion and Zhenguo New Army camp. At this time, visiting relatives and friends was essential. However, one early morning near the end of the year, Deng Jian, who had not seen him for a while, came to visit the door in the snow.
Deng Jian's legs were broken before, and Ye Chunqiu went to visit him once. Deng Jian was nagging him to cause trouble again. Later, Ye Chunqiu did not go to see Deng Jian again because he had too many things to do. However, when he saw him, Deng Jian's legs and feet looked much better.
However, today, Deng Jian's face seemed particularly solemn, as if he was holding something important in his heart.
As soon as he saw Ye Chunqiu, Deng Jian said to himself: "Chunqiu, I'm here to ask you something."
Ye Chunqiu looked at Deng Jian's face. Although he was full of doubts, he quickly welcomed him into the hall. Deng Jian was still sitting down in the chair in the hall, and asked impatiently: "I just ask you, your father is clearly the Censor of Shaanxi Kedao, who is inspecting all prefectures in Shaanxi. Why did the Censorate suddenly order him to go to Ningxia to inspect the military farming?"
Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment and said in a hint: "Why did you suddenly go to Ningxia again?"
Although Ningxia and Shaanxi both belong to the Ganzhou-Shaanxi region, Ye Chunqiu knew that the administrative division of the Ming Dynasty was extremely strict. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to let the Shaanxi censor inspect Ningxia. Moreover, Ningxia belongs to the border area. The court has always been very cautious about the affairs of border towns. Now when he heard this, Ye Chunqiu's first reaction was, was he wrong?
Deng Jian saw Ye Chunqiu's reaction and knew that Ye Chunqiu didn't seem to know about this.
Ye Chunqiu's question was also Deng Jian's question, which made him feel strange.
Deng Jian frowned and continued, "A few days ago, Ningxia did report that it was Zhou Dongdu, the young minister of Dali Temple. This man flattered Liu Jin and made a lot of money. He was angry with the border army. Then King Anhua submitted a memorial, saying that it was the governor's censor An Huaixue who repeatedly insulted the soldiers' wives and asked the court to decide for them. Chunqiu, these two people were both Liu Jin's people. They were repeatedly impeached in the border town and complained everywhere, but Liu Yu had always been suppressed and refused to report this matter, but suddenly asked Ling Zun to thoroughly investigate these two Liu Jin's people. You said...in this..."
Ye Chunqiu had not had time to study Deng Jian's subsequent problems, but after hearing the three words "Anhua King", Ye Chunqiu's expression changed suddenly.
Just hearing the three words "Anhua King", Ye Chunqiu suddenly remembered a piece of history!
In the fifth and sixth year of Zhengde, King Anhua rebelled...
At the beginning, this historical record was far away for Ye Chunqiu. King Anhua was far away in Ningxia. As a vassal king, even if he wanted to rebel, could Ye Chunqiu still have an early warning? As for the affairs of the vassal king, as long as the other person did not raise the flag, he would never speak nonsense as a minister.
Ye Chunqiu could not have expected that his father was sent to Ningxia shortly after he took office in Shaanxi.
Obviously... Liu Yu did not know that King Anhua rebelled, but at least he knew that King Anhua was extremely dissatisfied with the court. Now the dissatisfaction in the border town is getting worse and worse. In order to behave like this, he simply asked his father to be a scapegoat. Because the affairs of the border town in Ningxia are too complicated, the father is just a new censor. To put it bluntly, he is just a rookie. What can the rookie do? In the end, if something makes a noise or causes public grievances, the blame will be on the father.
In this way, Liu Yu's behavior before could be explained. Although Liu Yu could not do anything to him, it did not mean that Liu Yu could not affect his father. As his father's boss, he first transferred his father to Shaanxi. Of course, there was no problem. Ye Chunqiu would not be alert. However, the sudden change of appointment halfway through and asked Ye Jing to deal with such a difficult matter caught Ye Chunqiu off guard.
But if he just asked his father to take the blame, Ye Chunqiu would be fine. Sometimes his father is indeed a little naive. If he takes the blame, he might still learn from his mistakes. It is not a bad thing. The real problem is that Ye Chunqiu knew that King Anhua in history was about to rebel.
Ningxia is about to undergo mutiny. King Anhua killed all the officials appointed by the court and then announced a rebellion. Although this rebellion is not as good as the rebellion of King Ning in later generations, it has a great impact. You know... Ningxia is the location of a border town, and a large number of border troops are stationed. King Anhua is in Ningxia, and there are two guards. These combined, there are only 40,000 to 50,000, 40,000 to 50,000 rebels, and they are all well-trained people. This change is enough to make the entire Gansu and Shaanxi corpse everywhere.
After thinking through all this, Ye Chunqiu finally came to a conclusion in his heart. My father is afraid that there will be more misfortunes.
"Brother Deng." Ye Chunqiu's face was very heavy and his emotions became extremely excited.
This surprised Deng Jian a little because he came to tell Ye Chunqiu about this, thinking that Ye Jing might have been cheated by Liu Yu, but he didn't expect Ye Jing to be in danger of his life. But looking at Ye Chunqiu's expression, something was wrong.
Ye Chunqiu continued in a solemn tone: "How long has the transfer order been gone? Can you recover it quickly?"
Deng Jian hurriedly said, "I sent it out the day before yesterday. I saw it when I was reading the official documents yesterday. Now two days have passed, two or three days have passed, and the fast horse is enough to arrive in Shaanxi. Because it is an emergency transfer order, my uncle is afraid that he will set off in the next few days. Even if he asks the fast horse to speed up the recovery, it is probably too late. My uncle should be on the way to Ningxia at this time."
After pausing, Deng Jian continued helplessly: "What's more, this is the transfer order from the Censorate. Can my uncle still disobey orders? So..."
Ye Chunqiu was furious.
The surname Liu may not have the intention to kill, but he has put his father in danger.
Ye Chunqiu showed anger and said angrily: "Old Thief Liu Yu..." Suddenly, he quickly turned on his brain, and then a time appeared in Ye Chunqiu's mind. Nineteen days, that is to say, after nineteen days, King Anhua was about to rebel. This is a historical record, but whether it is accurate is not necessarily because history has been quietly changed by itself, and this time may be ahead of time at any time.
Ye Chunqiu suddenly looked at Deng Jian deeply and said, "Brother Deng, I want to trouble you to find Qian Qian and let him find a way to intercept my father by using all means. If my father arrives in Ningxia, he will also find a way to bring him back."
