Chapter 639 Ambush from All Sides

Chapter 631 Flying Daggers
Since ancient times, almost all military generals conquered the world and civilian officials ruled the world.

Military generals can lead thousands of troops on horseback, attack cities and plunder land, overthrow the old dynasty, and establish a new dynasty. This is almost the only way to build a country in all dynasties. The biggest "fear minister".

Why fear ministers?A great hero feared by the emperor.

Of these generals who conquered the country together with the emperor, which one did not hold heavy soldiers, which one was not deeply loved by the soldiers, and which one did not have a great contribution to the sky!

It is said that he is the master of high merit, but he is actually saying it very implicitly.

And the so-called death of the cunning rabbit, cooking of the lackeys, exhaustion of birds, and hiding of good bows is just an excuse.

Therefore, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the first thing that those in power want to do is how to regain military power and how to deal with these "fearful ministers" who cannot be beaten or scolded.

Compared with those military generals who fear ministers, civil servants are too popular with the emperor.

The world has been set for the first time, the people's hearts are unstable, and the foundation is not solid. At this time, it is time for the civil servants to flex their muscles. Although they do not have the formidable influence of military commanders, they have the right to "frighten the world at every turn".

Sometimes, a word from them can affect the living conditions of hundreds of thousands of people, and even determine the life and death of tens of thousands of people.

Civil officials often rely on their ingenuity to help the emperor stabilize the rule, and subtly increase their influence, and even advise the emperor on how to strip the generals of their military power.

Why do they have such privileges?
First, the emperor needs their resourcefulness. It is not easy to rule the world, and it is not something the emperor can do by himself. Tens of thousands of various officials are indispensable.

And the second, which is the most important, these civil servants have no military power, and they can't cause any big storms. If there is a slight sign of disobedience, the emperor can slash without frowning.

Simple and crude, but that's often the case.

Therefore, in order to better govern these civilian and military generals, when Emperor Taizu of Daxia established the Daxia Dynasty, he followed the advice of the most trusted admonishers at the time and adopted a supervisory system for the military generals.

The role of the so-called supervisor is not much different from that of the later political commissars during the Anti-Japanese War, but it has greater power than the political commissars, because although he does not have real military power, he can go directly to the central power hub, and even decide these generals. promotion of rewards and punishments.

However, things are also absolute or not, and everything cannot escape the word privilege.

Three generations of the Lin family have served as generals, and they have made great contributions to Great Xia, and Lin Qingtian, the patriarch of the Lin family, is the emperor's most loyal supporter, so Lin Qingtian, the marshal of the dynasty, did not say that he was a supervisor. This also showed the emperor's absolute trust in Lin Qingtian.

And the **** who has the same influence in the military is the family of Li Juncheng, the leader of the Tianxiong Army. Although they are not eligible to enjoy the privilege of Lin Qingtian, they are in the military. The influence is particularly large, and they also have a lot of control, so they can use various means to make the inspector their own dog.

Therefore, regarding the retreat of the eldest prince Zhao Tingfei and Li Juncheng, they will naturally find a way to make the Shuchuan area look like an iron bucket, and will not allow any uncontrollable factors to exist.

So when Li Huicheng was transferred to the Shuchuan Army, they tried to kill the inspector, and used their power to keep this matter pending, so that the Shuchuan Army never had a so-called inspector.

However, the eldest prince and Li Juncheng thought that they did this matter very secretly and no one would know about it, but how did they know that everything they did was under the control of the emperor.

Although the emperor will not take any measures against Zhao Tingfei because Zhao Tingfei is his son, he will not just let it go. After all, the Shuchuan area is different from other places, and there is an army of 2 people stationed there. What is the most important thing for the emperor there?
One is territory, and the other is military power!
As for these two points, both Zhao Tingfei and Li Juncheng violated them.

So the emperor took measures, but he couldn't let anyone find out that he was doing something secretly.

As a result, the emperor took advantage of his plan, not only agreed to Zhao Tingfei's request, but also secretly installed a trusted supervisor.

So, Zhang Yi came to Chengdu.

When Zhang Yi took out the token of the inspector, Lin Xiaoyao guessed the ins and outs of everything, and because Zhang Yi was both the prefect of Chengdu and the inspector of the Shuchuan Army, what he said was easier to let people believe.

"Li Huicheng took bribes of 3 taels of silver in the past five years as the commander of the Shuchuan Army, half of which was provided by the black Miao Mengfan, and he also eradicated the three elders of the Miao nationality for Mengfan, and during these five years, people's lives were ignored. 130 five people, 12 women were robbed..."

As Zhang Yi read out the evidence of Li Huicheng's crime one by one, both the Han people and the Miao people below looked increasingly bad, especially the elders of the Miao ethnic group who heard this, including Meng Fan. The evil deeds made him even more angry.

Seeing everyone glaring at him, Elder Meng Fan felt a little flustered. At the same time, he secretly scolded Li Huicheng in his heart. Aren't these things done very secretly?How could it still be discovered?
Seeing those elders of the Miao nationality looking at him with the kind of eyes that wished to kill him, Meng Fan didn't dare to sit with them anymore, he stood up quickly and walked towards his black Miao troops.

"You...you are a bloody person! Why didn't I know that there was a supervisory envoy to take office? Your identity is very suspicious! And now I also doubt whether your identity as the prefect of Chengdu is true! Since you framed the court order , and your identity is extremely suspicious, according to my Great Xia law, you should be taken into custody and sent back to Dali Temple in the capital for interrogation!"

When Li Huicheng saw Zhang Yi telling the things he did, he knew it was not good. He didn't give Zhang Yi any chance to tell the truth, but he saw a sneer on his face, and said, "Come on, let's take these Anyone who behaves suspiciously and whose identity is unknown will be arrested by me, and anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Shuchuan Army under the ring heard Li Huicheng's order, and they all took out their weapons, their faces were fierce, and they were about to climb up the ring.

"Hmph, are you finally going to take it no longer?"

The corners of Lin Xiaoyao's mouth curled up slightly, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. Li Huicheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
