Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Chu Tianjiao moved people to clear the country in Puyang, and he must ensure that all Puyang people moved to a safe place.

News of the preparations for flood discharge reached the Yuzhou Prefectural Mufu, and Sun Jinyan was furious:

"Who gave her the right to discharge floods in Puyang? I want to write a report and appeal to the court to redress the grievances of the people of Puyang!"

Sun Jinyan ordered the government officials to stop Nie Feng from digging the embankment.

He himself wrote a memorial and hurriedly sent it to Shangjing to complain about Chu Tianjiao.

Jiang Zuo and Jiang You, who were arranged by Chu Tianjiao to keep an eye on Sun Jinyan outside the Yuzhou Prefecture, discovered the situation.

They followed the government officials who delivered the letter and found that they had sent the letter to the official post to be sent to Shangjing.

Jiang Zuo and Jiang You have often sneaked into Sun's house these days and eavesdropped on the conversations between Sun Jinyan and his staff.

I know that Sun Jinyan looks sanctimonious, but is actually treacherous.

Afraid that there might be something wrong with the letter, the two men lurked on the route the post horse must pass, causing the post soldiers to fall off their horses, knocking the post soldiers unconscious, and then opened the letter to take a peek.

They discovered that Sun Jinyan had not only given information to the court, but also sent a letter to Ye Linxuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

In the letter, Sun Jinyan asked Ye Linxuan to help him in the court and blame Chu Tianjiao for the flood discharge in Yuzhou.

Chu Tianjiao had ordered that they were not allowed to stop the memorial.

They planned to put the memorial back and replace Sun Jinyan's letter to Ye Linxuan.

Jiang Zuo and Jiang You hated Ye Linxuan deeply. Jiang You asked his brother to cover him from the rain, squatted on the ground, supported the paper with his knees, drew a tortoise with charcoal, and stuffed it back into the envelope.

The two put the memorial and letter back into the postman's mailbox and hid.

Soon after, the postman woke up, thinking that his horse was frightened and fell unconscious.

After getting up and finding the horse, continue on the road.

Jiang Zuo said to Jiang You: "Go to Puyang to find Lady Chu and tell her the situation. I will continue to keep an eye on you."

Jiang You rushed to Puyang, while Jiang Zuo continued to return to the Prefectural Mufu to keep an eye on him.

Jiang Zuo found that Sun Jinyan was quite active. He kept visiting wealthy local families to encourage their dissatisfaction with Chu Tianjiao's flood discharge.

The first person Sun Jinyan visited was the Cui family.

Cui Jiangnan, the leader of the Cui clan, received him personally.

Sun Jinyan complained to Cui Jiangnan: "It stands to reason that Master Chu came to Yuzhou to help us fight the flood, and we should thank her.

Helpless, Mr. Chu is too young and impulsive. As soon as he sees the water rising, he will dig embankments to release the flood.

The Cui family has thousands of hectares of fertile land in Puyang. Once the flood is released, won't it all turn into swampland?

The state pastoral office is unable to compensate for this loss.

She, Chu Tianjiao, is the prefect of Ganzhou. Even if she pokes a hole in the sky in Yuzhou, she will just slap her butt and walk away, leaving a mess behind. What should I do? "

Cui Jiangnan is just over fifty this year, with a medium build, a fair face, narrow eyes, a high nose, and a goatee under his thin lips.

He half-squinted his eyes and gently stroked his meticulously trimmed goatee with one hand. Listening to Sun Jinyan's complaints, he always nodded slightly. Whenever Sun Jinyan paused to observe his attitude, Cui Jiangnan said softly "Yeah".

Sun Jinyan seemed to be encouraged and poured out all his dissatisfaction with Chu Tianjiao.

Although Sun Jinyan is the governor of Yuzhou, he still wants to see the face of Cui Jiangnan, the leader of the Cui clan.

The Cui family's powerful influence in the imperial court was enough to make him suffer.

Especially in Yuzhou, as long as the Cui family is unhappy, he can't even think of collecting a tael of tax money.

But if the Cui family relaxes a little, he can eat enough.

When Cui Jiangnan was young, he also served as a local official. Later, due to the needs of the clan, he returned to his hometown to manage secular affairs.

He was clear about Sun Jinyan's little thoughts.

Sun Jinyan hoped that the Cui family would use the influence of their clan members in the court to speak for him.

On the one hand, he was attacking Chu Tianjiao, and on the other hand, he was also transferring his own responsibility for the successive disasters in Yuzhou to Chu Tianjiao.

Cui Jiangnan is weighing it.

Between Chu Tianjiao and Sun Jinyan, who has more weight to the Cui family?

After all, the Cui family is rooted in Yuzhou, and Sun Jinyan, the state pastor, opened the door to the Cui family during his tenure.

If Sun Jinyan falls, and another Master Zhou Mu comes, the Cui family may not be able to fare well.

In particular, Cui Jiangnan had heard about Chu Tianjiao's deeds in dealing with the wealthy families in Ganzhou. If such a state pastor came to Yuzhou, the Cui family would probably bleed.

But if he goes against Chu Tianjiao, Cui Jiangnan also hesitates.

Not to mention Cui Shang's reminder, nor Chu Tianjiao's life-saving grace to the Xinyang Cui family, just saying that the Chu family holds military power and is on good terms with the prince. The Chu family has the potential to rise again, so the Cui family must be cautious. .

One is the immediate interests, and the other is the Cui family's long-term political stance. Cui Jiangnan knows that he cannot make mistakes.

While cunningly agreeing with Sun Jinyan, he refused to allow the Cui family to come forward.

"I feel the same as Mr. Sun's difficulties.

Sir Sun can report these difficulties to the imperial court. I think the imperial court will take care of your worries. "

Sun Jinyan's words were so dry that he felt like he hadn't said so many words in many years, but Cui Jiangnan still refused to write a letter to the Cui clan and sue Chu Tianjiao with him.

Sun Jinyan felt angry and waved his sleeves: "Mr. Cui, do you think the Cui family can be alone if Chu Tianjiao continues to cause trouble in Yuzhou?

Don’t forget, when Chu Tianjiao was in Ganzhou, he forced large households to raise donations to help the victims.

Yuzhou was severely affected by the disaster this time. After the flood, it is unknown how many more victims will be added.

Does the Cui family plan to open all the granaries and let Chu Tianjiao take whatever he wants? "

Cui Jiangnan felt a little sick when he thought about the letter from Cui Mao he had just received.

According to the clan's regulations, Puyang's [-] shi of grain and the tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland in Puyang that were about to be washed away were really what the clan needed to supply Cui Mao.

If Chu Tianjiao still has to ask the Cui family for food after the flood recedes, Cui Jiangnan feels that the Cui family will be a little overwhelmed.

After thinking for a long time, he said to Sun Jinyan: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun. I will write to the clan members and ask them to speak kindly to the court on Mr. Sun's behalf. I will definitely not let Mr. Chu interfere in the post-disaster affairs in Yuzhou again."

Cui Jiangnan felt that by doing this, he not only helped Sun Jinyan, but also did not offend Chu Tianjiao.

After he stabilized himself, seeing that Sun Jinyan was still not satisfied, he had to remind him:

“Actually, the opinions of us wealthy families don’t have much effect.

Mr. Sun might as well contact the people of Yuzhou.

The people of Puyang have their own opinions on whether Mr. Chu has merits or demerits. "

Cui Jiangnan's words actually reminded Sun Jinyan to ask the people to file a petition to sue Chu Tianjiao.

That power is indeed more convincing than a family complaint.

Sun Jinyan was enlightened when he heard this. He thought to himself that the people of Puyang whose homes were washed away must be eager to tear Chu Tianjiao to pieces.

If these people were entangled and sued, Chu Tianjiao would definitely not be able to bear it and would just walk away.

At this time, Chu Tianjiao was leading his men, going from village to house to persuade people to move out of their homes.

Indeed, many people are unwilling.

Chu Tianjiao promised them that not only would they be given food on Longmen Mountain, but they would also be given food to survive after the flood.

The village chief of Tao Village is an old man. He led dozens of villagers, holding hoes and machetes, to guard the entrance of the village, preventing Chu Tianjiao and others from entering the village.

"If we don't move, our village finally has so much land. After we move, how will we survive in the future?"
