Father can be an enemy to the country

"It makes sense." Lao Twelve nodded when he heard the words: "And now that there is chaos, we can't go to Qingzhou. The court may have to count on Brother Seven to quell the rebellion. After all, he still has a way of leading troops to fight."

"Nonsense, with Sixth Brother here, is it still his turn?" Old Eleven shook his head flatly. After saying that, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "No, if it weren't for Sixth Brother's clever calculation, we would have been overwhelmed by the mob, and our fate would not be worse than those of the prefects."

"Fuck, Old Seven is so cruel!" Old Twelve also changed his expression after hearing this: "They are trying to kill us with the help of the mob!"

"Okay, don't think blindly. He has no grievances against you two. Why do we want to kill you?" Zhu Zhen looked up from a lot of terrible urgent reports and said angrily: "Besides, Lao Qi is the best at most. He can conquer Qingzhou and mess up the whole of Shandong, but he is not that capable yet."

"Then who else?" Eleven Twelve asked in disbelief.

"The knowledgeable people will be here soon. Just ask them and they will know." Zhu Zhen said calmly.

"Who is it?" the two asked curiously.

At this time, Gao Tie reported outside the door: "Your Majesty, Hu Rang, the Chief Envoy of Shandong Province, and Wu Yin, the Inspector-General, want to see you."

"Let them come directly." Zhu Zhen ordered.

"Yes." The high-speed rail responded and left.

"Brother Six is ​​talking about them?" Eleven asked.

Zhu Zhen nodded.

"Brother Six, how did you know they were coming?" Lao Twelve said with admiration on his face: "Could it be that you really know how to pinch them?"

"Haha..." Zhu Zhen smiled and said nothing.

~~

After a while, the high-speed rail brought in Hu Rang, the chief envoy of Shandong, and Wu Yin, the inspector-general.

As soon as they entered the door, the two of them knelt down and kowtowed, saying that they deserved death.

"Your Majesty has warned us that there is going to be big trouble in Shandong, but we didn't pay attention..."

"When we entered Yanzhou and saw that the market was in order and calm, we felt even more ashamed. We really feel ashamed of our trust in the emperor and the people!"

"You guys get up and talk." Zhu Zhen asked someone to move a porridge for them, and said calmly: "Actually, I didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this, but since it has happened, let's go all out to quell the chaos. As for the two of them, It’s more appropriate to discuss your responsibility later, right?”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" The two of them burst into tears of gratitude and knelt down to Lao Liu again. They have all reached this level, how can they not hear that the prince is giving them a chance to atone for their sins?

"It's a blessing among misfortunes that the prince can come to Shandong!" They said this sincerely. If Zhu Zhen hadn't helped them block this, Boss Zhu would have definitely sent someone with a sword to chop them down with his temper.

"Okay, okay, get up and talk." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to ask the two of them to get up again, and continued to reassure them: "Don't panic, I still have some experience in countering rebellion. Please tell me the situation carefully first one time."

"Yes." The two people came all the way from Jinan to report to him, the governor of Shandong. Naturally, they were fully prepared and hurriedly reported the latest situation in Shandong to the prince.

The result was very different from what Zhu Zhen knew, and the situation did not get worse...

After saying that, Hu Rang clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Please, Your Majesty, please quickly order the Shandong Dusi to mobilize all the guards to fight the chaos!"

This shows the brilliance of Boss Zhu's design. The Ming Dynasty's army and the people's territory were intertwined. Each government had one or even several guards stationed in the village, and each county also had a thousand households stationed there. Therefore, it was very convenient to mobilize the army to quell the chaos. .

Zhu Zhen asked noncommittally: "Where is Ping An? Why didn't he come?"

"This..." The two looked at each other. Wu Yin, the inspector, sighed and said: "The governor of Ping is under the control of His Highness the King of Qi. It's not like us who can come just as we say."

"What are you talking about? When did he, the commander of the capital of Shandong, return to the control of the King of Qi?" Zhu Zhen said with a serious look on his face: "Do you treat me, the governor who controls the civil and military affairs of the province, as a decoration?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The two men quickly stood up and clasped their fists. Wu Yin said bravely: "Of course this is against the rules, but His Highness Prince Qi insists on doing this. His arms can't hold his thighs, and Governor Ping is also helpless."

"Yes, that year he also wrote a letter specifically requesting that the Shandong Dusi Yamen be moved out of Qingzhou, but the result was not fulfilled." Hu Rang also continued: "Later, the King of Qi found out about this and called him into the palace and locked him up for a whole day. It was released in a month.”

"After I came out, Governor Ping completely lost his temper. He did whatever King Qi asked him to do." Wu Yin said with a bitter smile: "Actually, we are about the same, we really can't stand it..."

"It seems that you are quite afraid of Lao Qi?" Zhu Zhen asked knowingly.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Qi is a prince and the vassal king of Shandong. We can only be full of awe." Hu Rangpi Liyangqiu said.

"Then ignore him for now." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and took the initiative to stop the conversation. He just wanted to see how the provincial officials felt about Lao Qi... At first glance, it turned out to be very bad.

"That's not necessary. If the prince sends an order to Governor Ping, he will definitely listen." Wu Yin hurriedly advised.

"Yes, Governor Ping knows the importance of things." Hu Rang also nodded. The purpose of their visit was to ask Lao Liu to help Ping An quell the rebellion.

"There is no rush to send troops." Zhu Zhen still shook his head and said: "Didn't I, the king, say that I still have experience in countering rebellion. Countering rebellion is like treating a disease. You must first look, smell and ask, and then find out the cause of the disease before you can prescribe the right medicine. , How could you indiscriminately administer the medicine of a tiger or a wolf as soon as you come up?"

"Yes." The two of them understood what the prince meant. Now the people are just making trouble, not to the level of rebellion, but once troops are sent out, the situation is likely to get out of hand.

But the curious baby didn't understand, and Lao Twelve on the side couldn't help but ask: "Is it because 'thieves come like combs, soldiers come like grates'?"

"You are still 'an official comes like a shave'!" Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes at him: "The military discipline of our Ming army has not been corrupted to that extent." Then he ordered Wu Yindao: "Explain it to me and my twelfth brother."

"Yes." Wu Yin hurriedly responded respectfully, and then said to Lao Twelve: "For His Royal Highness King Xiang, this is because the Ming Dynasty's military and civilians are mixed. In the territory of both sides, there is me among you, and there is you among me. It is inevitable on weekdays. In order to compete for land and water, there is a lot of friction..."

"You don't have to say it so nice," Zhu Zhen interrupted: "How many lives have been lost? There's still friction."

"Yes. Your Majesty is right. There is a deep conflict between the two parties. We don't know how many cases like this we have to handle every year." Wu Yin gave a wry smile and continued:

"If the army is asked to counter the rebellion, it may indeed arouse old grievances between the two sides and create an uncontrollable situation."

"Oh, that's it." Lao Twelve nodded suddenly.

Zhu Zhen then said in a deep voice: "According to the current situation, this civil revolution is like a demonstration and has not reached the level of a riot. If we can find the source, maybe we can resolve the situation before it gets worse!"
