Chapter 712 Ripped Face

Almost at the same time, in front of Jinghai Jiedushi's mansion in Liuzhou City, several carriages started moving.

Standing on the high steps, the man who sent the guests out was Xu Changyan, brother of Jieshuai Xu Huiyan.The latter gradually withdrew from the army when Xu Huiyan entered Xiangzhou and Liuzhou.After several months of cultivation, Xu Changyan's originally strong body has become a little fat and fat. He is wearing a blue silk robe, and he looks a bit like a rich country gentleman.There is also a lot of flesh on the face, even the small scar on the cheek, set off by the extra flesh, does not make people feel too hideous.

As for the removal of the scars, just seeing Xu Changyan's smiling expression and his eyes narrowed into a slit, it also makes people feel close at first sight.

"Master, where are these people coming from? Seeing that these people are dressed decently, and they are even more decent, but they are very unfamiliar." A steward who had some friendship with Xu Changyan on weekdays stood and looked at the direction of several carriages leaving , asked.

In fact, it was the leader who looked at him strangely.

His family, Jie Shuai, has a wide range of friends. From the day he arrived in Liuzhou, he had a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. The banquets were not only for military generals, serving officials, but also local celebrities, even young people. The leader of the people, the local powerful family.

"Naturally they are decent people." Xu Changyan replied casually, but he didn't say anything more about the identities of these people.Those are all important people!Although the identity leak is not fatal, it is also very bad.

It is said that walls have ears. Why did Xu Changyan slowly withdraw from the army?Isn't it just to be responsible for this wholeheartedly?He glanced sideways at the steward.This bunch of birds must have been unintentional, right?

"These noble people are not something we can talk about, so keep your mouth shut." Xu Changyan didn't even tie his tongue, and opened his mouth to tell a lie.Telling people to listen to it, everyone has to consider how high the status of the nobleman Xu Changyan said should be.

The steward said quickly, "It's the villain Meng Lang."

"Be careful next time." Xu Changyan made a gesture of indifference, and patted the opponent on the shoulder.Oh, maybe I'm really overthinking, this guy's shoulders are slack.

The mansion of Jinghai Jiedushi was rebuilt by Liuzhou Zhizhou Yamen. Except for a plaque, there were no other changes.

In Xu Huiyan's eyes, this mansion is just a transition, but even so, the layout of the Houya's courtyard is elegant and simple, with a hint of celebrity demeanor.It is also the time when the flowers and plants in the south of the Five Ridges are always blooming all the year round. At this time, when entering the Houya, there is a faint fragrance of flowers.

Near one of the courtyards, dozens of armored soldiers stood guard, each standing with their own soldiers.

Because there are Xu Huiyan's family members in Houya, they are surrounded by him in a corner of the courtyard, and they can't easily contact the outside world.It won't be long anyway, so it's better to be careful.Therefore, his outer study and meeting hall are all in the courtyard in front of him, which is the military and political core of Xiangzhou and Liuzhou.The adjacent courtyards are mostly used to receive visitors.

Xu Changyan walked quickly into the courtyard until he came to the door of the study.

"Second brother, it's me."

"Brother." Xu Huiyan's voice came from inside, and Xu Changyan pushed the door open and walked in.This is a very elegant study room. There are two bookshelves in the room, and the shelves are full of books.

Because Xu Huiyan, who was born as a martial arts scholar, loved reading, perhaps because of Li Gong's influence.After all, Xu Huiyan likes reading, and this name is widely spread.

But now Xu Huiyan was sitting behind the case, and there was a book spread out in front of him, but he didn't pay attention to the book at all.With a fair face, there was a sharp murderous look between the brows, "Are they all gone?"

"They've already been sent away." Xu Changyan also had a stern look on his face when he thought of the news he heard today.The group of defeated generals in the Imperial City Division actually wanted to plot the lives of their own brothers.They also made two-handed preparations, and they had hidden connections with the leader of the Shaomin people. No wonder they had the courage to join hands with the Nanyue people and send them to the Duhu Mansion!
Completely throwing away the gentle look on his body, Xu Huiyan rubbed the center of his brows, but he was not simply concerned about his situation.He sighed: "In the past, when these people came to see me, they were somewhat secretive, but now..." In Xu Huiyan's eyes, this was already half-open.This shows that Emperor Lu, who won a complete victory in the Northern Expedition, is about to turn around to solve the Lingnan issue. Therefore, the intelligence department's talent activities are 'rampant'.But the problem is, the muddy water in Lingnan is still not ready for everyone to get into the water.

"I have already submitted a letter to Guizhou, but there is no news so far. On the contrary, the Secretary of the Imperial City has something to do..." Xu Huiyan had a headache.

The news sent by the Emperor Lu was to drag down the leaders of the Shaomin leaders in Guangnan West Road as much as possible. If he wrote to the Zhao official family in Guizhou, he implored the Zhao official family to issue a decree to canonize many Shaomin leaders as native officials, and they are world-class officials. It has its own land, the world governs its people, the world governs its soldiers, the world inherits its positions, the world governs its place, the world enters its stream, and the world receives its officials.It can be said that if they really do this, those native officials are the native emperors for generations, or the native emperors who have the imperial court as their endorsement.

This is different from the past detention system.The Jimi system of the Tang Dynasty was established in the frontier areas under the Tang Dynasty's military power. The Jimi prefectures and counties were hereditary by the tribal leaders, with internal affairs autonomy and tribute, but they had some responsibilities, such as loyalty to the central government, Provide military supplies, etc. as required.The imperial court regards it as part of the territory, and the document uses "edict".

In Zhao and Song Dynasties, it was when the central court further strengthened its control over Jimi prefectures and counties. In addition to tribal leaders, it sent additional supervisory officials appointed by the Central Plains government.

Now Xu Huiyan's proposal is to directly transform Jimizhou County into the Tusi system that has gone through the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in official history and still existed in the Republic of China.

The impact on the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was very strong.

Now Emperor Lu suddenly sent troops into South Vietnam, which instead allowed the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to rest and recuperate.This situation is confusing, but the situation on Guangnan West Road, which seems to have calmed down, is undercurrents. I am afraid that many people have lost confidence in the Southern Song Dynasty and are looking forward to the early arrival of the New Dynasty.With these people making waves in the dark, the muddy waters in the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty became even muddier, but many people just stood on the shore and threw stones.

But, how did Guizhou suddenly decide to attack him?

Many thoughts flashed through Xu Huiyan's mind. Combined with the two preparations made by the Imperial City Secretary, one was the mutiny, and the other was the leader of the few people. The most reliable guess is that the small court in Guizhou has already agreed to his proposal.Otherwise, how could the Secretary of the Imperial City persuade the leader of the Shaomin?But if this is the case, why did Guizhou get rid of him?

"Since the Imperial City Secretary wants to attack me, then cut off their claws. It would be better to stir the water even more."

Since the Imperial City Secretary has decided to attack him, he must be prepared to quarrel with him anyway.Xu Huiyan's eyes were shining brightly, he didn't want to die.He also wants to go to the grasslands beyond the Great Wall and the northwest desert.He was born in Jiangnan Fireworks, but his chest was full of hot and intense blood.

"These days, my brother is staring at the army. Since the Imperial City Division is planning a mutiny, it is necessary to do something in the army." Xu Huiyan thought that he would visit the military camp every three to five days, and felt that the Imperial City Division could do something. The greatest opportunity is probably here.He still has confidence in the army's morale. It is impossible for the Imperial City Division to instigate a large-scale rebellion. The so-called mutiny is probably a sudden riot by a few people.

After a while, he raised his head and said: "Ask someone to spread the news, saying that I am ill. I have to recuperate for a few days and cannot see guests..."

"It's simple. I'll call Mr. Li." Li Yan, a famous doctor in southern Zhejiang, was left in the army by Xu Huiyan.

Xu Changyan got up and left.To act is to do everything.

Then soon the news of Xu Huiyan's illness spread widely, not only the people in the city, high and low, knew about it, not only the officers and soldiers in the army, but also the small imperial court in Guizhou.

Wang Dingliu was also aware of the news. The Imperial City Secretary has been very active recently, and he is very busy.
