Red Dust Daqian

The sage ordered that the Huaxi Shrine be destroyed at the cost of bringing chaos to Jiangxia Prefecture. Zhou Sen chose to delay for the sake of the people of Jiangxia Prefecture, but disobeying the order was not a long-term solution. Once someone reported it to the court, the sage would be angry and send a large army to attack the border, which would not only fail to protect the people of Jiangxia Prefecture, but also plunge the entire Daqian into war. After the chaos, it was difficult for the people around Zhou Sen to live in peace, and the loss outweighed the gain.

There must be a way forward on the driveway, and the saints came down one after another to urge the will. Zhou Sen had a sudden flash of inspiration and came up with a plan. He could cooperate with the court to suppress the stubborn Huaxi faction in Huaxi Shrine and transfer all power to the Xiangmu faction in Huaxi Shrine. He could replace Huaxi Shrine completely without knowing it, which would not only speed up the process, but also take down Huaxi Shrine without bloodshed.

In the past, Jiangxia Prefecture was like an iron barrel under the control of the King of Chu and Huaxi Shrine. The imperial decree was like waste paper in Jiangxia Prefecture and had no effect. Now it is different. Zhou Sen's Xiangmu Sect in Huaxi Shrine is secretly wrestling with the Huaxi Sect and competing with each other. Jiangxia Prefecture is no longer an iron barrel. The imperial decree is like the straws on both ends of the scale. If they intervene at this time, the scale will completely tip in Zhou Sen's favor and all problems will be solved.

Just do it as soon as you say it. Negotiate with the court through Li Qi and let the court intervene in Jiangxia Prefecture as soon as possible. There must be a better way, and the court is not willing to start a war.

Li Ning'er also quite approved of Zhou Sen's plan. Zhou Sen wanted to go to Li Qi to negotiate with Li Ning'er. Li Ning'er was more generous than Zhou Sen had imagined. After negotiating with Zhou Sen the conditions and requirements for the disintegration of Huaxi Shrine, she promised Zhou Sen that she could handle it alone, and then went to find Li Qi alone. Li Ning'er would not mess around with major issues, so Zhou Sen chose to trust her and let Li Ning'er leave alone.

After more than a month, Li Ning'er returned from Kyoto, and along with it came a transfer order to Jiangxia Prefecture.

The capital transferred back the governor Zhu Deling and directly appointed Sima Liu Qianli to act as the governor. This was the first request made by Zhou Sen and Li Qi. Unexpectedly, Li Ning'er was so efficient and easily accomplished it.

Zhu Deling was frustrated in Jiangxia Prefecture and was sidelined by Ouyang Changzong. He was eager to be transferred as soon as possible. When the transfer order came, he accepted it readily, packed his luggage, and left Jiangxia Prefecture without saying goodbye to anyone. He thought that there would be more opportunities in Kyoto if he went back to Kyoto than in Jiangxia Prefecture.

Ouyang Changzong had no objection to the transfer of Zhu Deling, but he was quite dissatisfied with the appointment of Liu Qianli as the governor, and wanted to prevent Liu Qianli from taking up the new post. However, Jiangxia Prefecture is no longer the same as before. Zhou Sen secretly worked together through the officials he had won over to force Ouyang Changzong to accept the appointment from Kyoto.

Liu Qianli took up the post of governor of Jiangxia Prefecture, so the governor of Jiangxia Prefecture was a person from Xiangmu Society, which played a crucial role in Zhou Sen's control of Jiangxia Prefecture in the later period.

Liu Qianli served as the governor of Liuzhou. With the power behind Zhou Sen, he would not allow Ouyang Changzong to be marginalized. He successfully took back the post of governor of Jiangxia Prefecture and suppressed Ouyang Changzong.

Sima Liu became the governor of Liu. Even if Ouyang Changzong was slow-witted, he had to be alert. As the governor, he had always wanted to do this but had not been able to do it. Unexpectedly, Sima, who had nothing to do, did it. There must be something fishy.

The transfer of the governor position, the Kyoto Huaxi Shen branch also sent any news to the Jiangxiazhou headquarters. It was very sudden, and Ouyang Changzong was caught off guard without any preparation. There are many abnormalities that must be investigated clearly, and we must not sit and wait for death.

First, Ouyang Changzong used his identity as the left envoy of Huaxi Shrine to call on Kyoto resources to investigate the situation and secretly operated to change the appointment result. Unexpectedly, after the relationship reached the Ministry of Personnel, the person in charge was perfunctory and pretended to be confused, and kept dragging his feet, and finally it was left unfinished. The appointment was also strange, and the people involved did not know the reason and just thought it was a normal appointment.

Since secret actions didn't work, Ouyang Changzong took the initiative to find Sima Liu and directly asked him how he did it. With the Huaxi Gu worm around, Liu Qianli wouldn't dare to disobey him, the Huaxi Zuo Shi.

Of course, Zhou Sen had already thought of a coping strategy for Liu Qianli. He was clueless about Ouyang Changzong's doubts and didn't know why he became the governor. In order to ensure that Huaxi Shrine continued to trust Liu Qianli, Huaxi Zuoshi needed it, and Liu Qianli could submit a letter of resignation to the Ministry of Personnel, but the Ministry of Personnel would not approve it.

Liu Qianli repeatedly expressed his loyalty to Huaxi God to the Left Envoy of Huaxi, and wrote a letter of resignation that day. Ouyang Changzong believed it to be true, thinking that the Huaxi Gu worm could still intimidate Liu Qianli, so he stopped making trouble.

Liu Qianli's first step is to secure his position as governor. Next, he will cooperate with the court to further replace officials at all levels in Jiangxia Prefecture and remove the stubborn Huaxi faction in Huaxi Shrine from Jiangxia Prefecture. Liu Qianli took back the various powers that Ouyang Changzong stole from Zhu Deling by replacing personnel bit by bit. Liu Qianli is indeed experienced and his ability is definitely above Ouyang Changzong. He was just unlucky before and was deliberately suppressed by Ouyang Changzong with the help of Huaxi Shrine.

Liu Qianli used various excuses to deal with several important stubborn trading companies under Huaxi Shrine, with Parkson Restaurant and Qian's Pawn Shop being the first to be hit. The trading companies that were dealt with went to Huaxi Shrine to reason with them, and Liu Qianli pretended to be confused and made excuses for misjudgment, but the losses of these trading companies were irreparable. Huaxi Shrine believed that the matter could not be left unresolved, and as a punishment, Liu Qianli was suspended from taking medicine for a week. After Liu Qianli pretended to be in pain and begged for mercy, Huaxi Shrine resumed giving Liu Qianli medicine. Unexpectedly, Liu Qianli dealt with another batch of Huaxi trading companies right after that.

Ouyang Changzong was completely upset, thinking that Liu Qianli might be out of control. In order to avoid causing greater damage to the Huaxi Shrine, after obtaining the consent of the Huaxi God, Ouyang Changzong carried out an assassination attempt on Liu the governor. As a result, none of the young assassins sent succeeded, and some were injured or missing, and their bodies were not found. The injured described that there were many experts around Liu the governor, and they had no choice but to suspend the assassination attempt.

The King of Chu also realized that there was a huge problem inside the Huaxi Shrine, and he could no longer rely solely on the Huaxi Gu worm to control the people in the shrine. The King of Chu was ready to start rectifying the Huaxi Shrine, but it was too late. There were many different opinions in the shrine, and he didn't know who to trust and who not to trust. For a while, he didn't know how to start.

In desperation, someone suggested that Huaxi Shrine report to each other and conduct self-examination, which was actually accepted by Huaxi Shrine. It can be imagined that at this time, the Xiangmu faction was in the dark and the Huaxi faction was in the light. Reporting each other, reflecting on themselves, the Xiangmu faction worked together to verify each other, and the Huaxi faction was in disarray. It was definitely more people in the Huaxi faction who were found to have problems. Instead, the Huaxi faction was further suppressed, and the internal problems of the Huaxi Shrine were not effectively solved.
