Zuo Menggeng looked at Yuan Jixian with tears in his eyes, and shouted again with hissing: "My father is gone!"

Yuan Jixian was also shocked by the sudden bad news, and his mind could not be turned around for a moment. Everything in the world was stagnant, and even the sound could not be heard. After a few breaths, Yuan Jixian reacted and said in his heart: Zuo Liangyu is dead, what should he do with the 200,000 troops in Zuozhen? Could it be that he would turn into a riot!

Zuo Menggeng screamed twice, suddenly his eyes rolled and fainted.

The family members on the side were so scared that they wanted to get up and couldn't retreat, but they just jumped on the spot and shouted randomly, and the scene was in chaos.

"Stop shouting!" Yuan Jixian roared, pushed away the Zuo family and stepped forward and said, "This is a rush to attack the heart. They all disperse to let the major general have some breath."

The family immediately dispersed, but saw Yuan Jixian not retreating but advancing. He stepped forward and pulled Zuo Menggeng's collar, swung his arm and slapped it in the face.

This slap was like hitting everyone's face, and there was a "ouch" sound coming from the same sound.

Yuan Jixian slapped another backhand.

Zuo Menggeng twitched and slowly came to his senses. He might not have seen Yuan Jixian in front of him clearly. He just hugged him and cried out loudly: "My father is gone...my father is gone!"

Yuan Jixian wanted to slap him again, but his strength was not as strong as Zuo Menggeng, who was in his prime, was hugged and unable to move. After Zuo Menggeng felt a burning pain on his face, he woke up a little, let go of Yuan Jixian and said, "Military, military gate! What should I do if my nephew is!" The man who was several decades older actually started crying like a helpless child.

Yuan Jixian also felt sympathy. Although he hated Chu Zhen in the past, he hated Zuo’s military for being in a bad manner and was like a bandit. He hated Zuo Liangyu even more and said that he had put him under house arrest and did not understand the right and wrong... However, at this moment, the dead were the most important, so what else could he care about? Yuan Jixian supported Zuo Menggeng and said, "What will Zuo Shuai have?"

Zuo Menggeng sobbed, "My father read the newspaper, shouted 'Huang Peng misled me!' and left without leaving any last words."

Huang Peng was named an inspector, but he was actually the leader of Zuo Liangyu. Yuan Jixian had long guessed that Zuo Liangyu had participated in the "King King" this time. After hearing Zuo Menggeng's words, he quickly turned his mind and understood what Zuo Liangyu meant.

Zuo Liangyu knew that his life was gone. He threw out a scapegoat to stop the disaster for his descendants!

The so-called "no father" is better than his father. Zuo Liangyu must know that his son is not enough to command the officers and soldiers of a town to conquer Nanjing. It can be said that once he died, he was defeated this time. Since he was defeated, he could only maintain the "loyal and kind" face, otherwise it would be a disaster for the extermination of the barbarians.

However, if Zuo Liangyu, who was in rebellion, was he a "loyal"? Could it be that the emperor and the crown prince, and all officials in Jiangnan were idiots?

Of course not!

This idiot is the only one who is the one who is used to be. Zuo Liangyu said "Huang Peng to mislead me" and nailed the inspector Huang Peng firmly to the position of mastermind, but he was an "idiot" who was eager to be righteous and was exploited by others.

"You fool! This is Zuo Shuai's last order!" Yuan Jixian looked disappointed.

Zuo Menggeng's eyes were as tears, his throat was choked, and he looked at Yuan Jixian in confusion.

"When Zuo Shuai saw the news, his heart was clear and clear, knowing that he was mistaken by a villain. Therefore, he said 'Huang Peng was wronged by me'. To correct the situation and to stop the soldiers, this is Zuo Shuai's will!" Yuan Jixian was a loyal minister, but he was not pedantic. He thought he didn't know Zuo Liangyu's last scheming. He just led Zuo Menggeng to his side.

Zuo Menggeng was originally lacking in talent, and his father had just passed away. He had no idea. After hearing Yuan Jixian's words, he didn't even think about it, and then asked, "Military Sect, please take charge of the overall situation!"

Yuan Jixian was furious when he heard this, but he also knew that he had no prestige to suppress the powerful generals of Zuozhen. He said, "Major General, I cannot express the order, how can I control your subordinates? However, the current plan must first stabilize the hearts of the people. You might as well not report the deceased, summoned the confidant generals, captured Huang Peng, requested the imperial edict from the court, and returned to the place of faith. Then ask for the posthumous title for the Zuo Zheng and asked the Ministry of War for the position of the Ministry of War."

Zuo Menggeng's mind gradually became clearer, and he thought that he was indeed not a material for changing dynasties. He only heard the "posthumous title". "Yinzhi" nodded with sobs and said, "It depends entirely on the military."

Yuan Jixian refused to do what he meant! He asked Zuo Menggeng to act according to the plan, and he used the excuse to go back to change his clothes and went straight to his residence.

Fu Shan had just washed it and changed his clothes and saw Yuan Jixian turn back. He was quite surprised: "Mr. Ming is back now?"

"Quick, prepare your luggage, Zuo Liangyu is dead." Yuan Jixian said very quickly: "I want to stay here to stabilize Zuo Menggeng and prevent him from celebrating. You can quickly report the news to the court."

Fu Shan bowed and turned around and left. He was so busy that he didn't even have a luggage bag. Yuan Jixian chased after him, stuffed his purse with him and said, "Take care on the road."

Fu Shan did not refuse much, put him in his sleeve, bowed another time, and rushed to the riverside. Zuo Bing at the door was hesitating whether to chase him, but he didn't expect Fu Shan to learn Taoist skills on the mountain. He seemed to walk calmly, but in fact his pace was not low, and he had already set a distance between them hesitation.

The ferry was still in its original place, and the shipkeeper didn't want to wave it for nothing, waiting for the ferrymen here.

When Fu Shan saw the boat, he waved to the shipkeeper, ran wildly, jumped onto the ferry, and slapped a silver into the shipkeeper's hand: "Come across the river."

The shipkeeper just now knew that the Taoist master had a relationship with the official, and he was very generous when he took action. He immediately took a boat off the shore and headed towards Jiangdong.

...

On the sixth day of the 12th month of the 18th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cilang received the news of Zuo Liangyu's death, but he was not happy at all.

Once Zuo Liangyu died, the generals in Chu Town really lost their constraints and would inevitably flee everywhere. These riots either fell into bandits or harmed the countryside, and the losses caused were really incalculable.

The bigger problem now is food.

Now under the Ming Dynasty, only Shandong can barely be self-sufficient - the premise is that it does not bear the grain expenses of hard labor camps and labor camps. Henan and Shanxi have just recovered, and it will take at least three years to restore grain production to the level of export. There are also Liaodong and the battlefields of Beizhi, where grain production is at an extremely low level. Especially Beizhi, it is basically fighting, supporting wars as the main focus, and going to the field to work as the auxiliary.

Although everything in Jiangnan is fine and still looks like a prosperous era, this fish and rice land cannot guarantee the supply of food. Because the profit of tobacco is ten times that of grain, and the profit of producing silk from mulberry leaves can also reach seven times that of grain. A large amount of arable land has been converted to tobacco and mulberry trees by landlords. From the perspective of profit-seeking, landlords are of course willing to plant their own land with tobacco and mulberry leaves. As long as the price of grain cannot rise seven times, it is definitely more cost-effective to buy it from other places.

So people say that "Huguang is familiar with it, and the world is full", because the whole world is counting on Huguang.

Although Zuo Liangyu was domineering and was like a vassal state, he did not rebel and was much more polite than the generals in western Liaoning. The court was still able to get food tax from Huguang, which was not enough, so it was okay to buy some money. Now, when such a centralized person died, his generals under his command were in charge. Those who were rich in defense areas did not want to move, those who were poor in defense areas should be jealous, and they must not be dirty with each other, and eventually they met each other.

And there is really no capable minister in Huguang.

Governor He Tengjiao has a bad reputation in history. Although he died bravely in the end, he provoked internal strife in the camps and ruined an excellent opportunity to drive the Qing Dynasty out of the pass. He was a mediocre person who could only provoke discord, be greedy for great success, and be less successful than to do anything.

...

"This person has been following Zuo Liangyu's camp, and he is really confused and ignorant. Yuan Jixian has sent people to deliver the news, but as the governor, he has not had any news for a long time.

After the court meeting, the ministers of the cabinet went to the study of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to hold a cabinet meeting. Zhu Cixuan took out the notice brought by Yuan Jixian to Fu Shan and expressed concerns about the situation in Huguang.

"Chu Zhenzhiqiang is indeed not something he, a governor, can control, but if you don't even send news, it's really hard to escape the crime of dereliction of duty." Wu Xuan said.

Sun Chuanting glanced at Wu Qing. He happened to know that He Tengjiao was the one who was cultivated by Liu Yongzuo. Liu Yongzuo was a member of the Donglin Party and a fellow villager of Wu Qing's rival Wen Tiren. At this time, he agreed to the prince's wishes and convicted the crime by the way, which was not annoying.

Zhu Cixuan was very frank about party struggles and even did not agree that these people belonged to the "party". They were completely a collection of interests or were implicated in relationships. Although they had a simple desire to control the regime, they did not have a unified and firm core concept. To put it bluntly, such a group was a mob and could not be defeated.

The root of everything lies in the test of the method.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng's examination method did not eliminate party struggles in later generations was that it was abandoned by later generations, and the other was that Zhang's examination method lacked specific data standards, which made the subjective opinions on the examination history too important, and incorporated too many non-objective components, which became a tool for party struggles.

However, Zhu Cixuan's examination method is based on objective facts and tries to eliminate personal subjective factors. Therefore, even if someone wants to use this to attack political enemies, it is impossible to turn black and white. For example, if Wu Weiye finally shows that he does meet his position requirements, the censor who attacks his negligence will probably have to sit back.

Zhu Cilang said: "Now the news of Zuo Liangyu's death has not spread yet. Give him some sweet things first and let the generals of Zuozhen be stable. Let's finish the battle in Beizhi first, and then slowly treat Huguang."

"Your Highness, should you just add the position of governor of Yuan Jixian Huguang first and suppress Zuo Zhen?" Sun Chuanting believed that he had no selfish desire to form a party, so he was not worried that it would be taboo to recommend a governor at this time.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Li Yuzhi and Jiang Dejing, and saw that they had no objection, he said: "Yuan Jixian is moral and moral enough to be able to be responsible. If there was no chaos in Huguang, there would be no problem for him to go to the people to govern, but the situation is unclear, and I am afraid it is a bit inappropriate. What I mean is to send Nanjing Minister Shi Kefa to supervise the army in Huguang."
