Chapter 364 Black Otter Is Furious

"I know my sin, I know my sin, please forgive me, Lord, please forgive me..."

Under the gate outside the corridor of the main hall of the Tai Mansion, accompanied by the screams and begging for mercy, were the sounds of continuous whipping, each sound shocking the hearts of the people. People entering and leaving the hall were all walking in a hurry and did not dare to stop and listen.

The person who was tortured may not have made a big mistake, maybe he was just unlucky. In recent days, Daxingtai's mood has become very bad for some unknown reason. He is visibly irritable and restless. Normally, the waiters and waiters would occasionally make neglectful mistakes or just laugh them off, but now they are violently punishing them, so that everyone in the Taifu People are in danger, and everyone is as silent as a cicada.

Although the people in the mansion did not know the specific reason for Daxingtai's sudden change in temperament, they could guess that it was definitely not a good thing. They could only pray in their hearts that no shocking change would happen.

The atmosphere in the mansion was also very depressed today. Daxingtai began to summon internal and external officials in the main hall early in the morning. Some people were kicked out soon after entering the hall, while others stayed in the hall. As for what exactly they were consulting and planning, everyone present remained silent and refused to discuss it publicly.

In the main hall, Yu Wentai waved his hands to drive away the staff with some irritation. His eyes fell on the newly delivered memorial from Longyou, and his eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.

Although he was sitting in the middle of the hall, he still wore a riding hat with a long scarf, not because he was weak and afraid of the cold, but because for some reason a sarcoma appeared on the back of his neck after the New Year, and it grew bigger and bigger.

Although several diagnoses confirmed that it was not a malignant carbuncle, and some fortune tellers suggested that this was a sign of good fortune, Yu Wentai just listened to it temporarily, but it was still unsightly, and he did not want his subordinates to have any thoughts about his health, so he simply wore a hat to cover it up.

During this period of time, he was already troubled by the neck tumor, and the latest news from Longyou and the miscalculation of Wang De and his team made him even more restless. Today, I asked about the situation of the people and horses in various states, and it was also not very optimistic.

He still overestimated the effect of recuperation in the past few years. The October parade in previous years had almost become custom-made, and the administration of all states and counties also followed this. Although he had ordered Su Chuo to set aside a variable in his plan at the beginning of the year, when it came time to actually gather people a few months in advance, the cooperation between the prefectures and counties was still not high enough, and there were many rural and regimental armed forces who directly refused on the grounds that they were afraid of hurting the agricultural industry. At the same time, there is a huge gap in the reserves in the treasury.

Although this is also related to the fact that Su Chuo's illness has become more serious this year and there is no one to take charge of Taiwan government affairs, it is also a fact that the growth of national power cannot keep up with the construction and development of the military. If you don't want to fall into the predicament of militarism, you must find new ways to obtain new increments.

But what troubles him the most right now is how to clean up the mess in Longyou. After all the planning and numerous deductions, the staff and staff all thought it was feasible, so why did something unexpected happen? Could it be that all of his overbearing staff are useless?

The main and most direct reason why Han Bao also reported back immediately was because the number of troops left behind in Qinzhou far exceeded their previous estimates.

Even before they set off from Yuanzhou, they had no news of a large-scale gathering of troops in Qinzhou, but just a few days during the trip, Li Boshan, who stayed in Qinzhou, used some method to directly recruit tens of thousands of people to garrison in Qinzhou. Zhoucheng also caused Wang De and his party to hit the iron plate directly.

In other words, Li Boshan directly smashed the conspiracy planned by Bafu, including Yu Wentai, by himself.

For Yuwentai, such a result is no longer a question of whether he can accept it or not, and he is even ashamed to face it. Only by dividing the shame and anger in my heart into small parts and venting them on the subordinates in the house can I not be so angry that I can't help but gnash my teeth every time I think about it.

Now that Longyou has sent a memorial to the government, Dugu Xin also expressed his attitude while describing the incident. He did not blame the Tai government for this, and still hoped that this dispute could be resolved calmly.

No matter what Yuwentai's mood was, he had to face the matter and actively seek a solution.

"Your Majesty, General Yu has entered the palace and is waiting for the summons outside the hall."

A waiter hurriedly entered the hall and knelt down and said.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai quickly cheered up, sat up straight in his seat, and said, "Please come quickly!"

Without turning around, Yu Jin strode into the hall. Before he had time to greet him, Yu Wentai had already hurriedly greeted him. He personally led Yu Jin into the banquet. After he returned to the table and sat down, he looked at him apologetically. Yu Jin said: "The general is tired. Now there is another matter that the general must take charge of. The general must know that Wang Tianen led his troops to the west?"

Yu Jin nodded after hearing the words. He has a high position now and spends more time guarding Chang'an instead of staying in Huazhou to serve as a counselor.

But even if he was not involved in this matter, Wang De and his entourage set off for Yuanzhou immediately after Yifeng. He could more or less guess Daxingtai's intentions. He also felt that Daxingtai's approach of restricting Wuchuan and other Yixiangyi was in his heart. Quite agreeable.

But seeing the shy and embarrassed look on Yu Wentai's face, Yu Jin quickly asked: "Could there be some unexpected twists and turns in the matter? My Lord, I have an order, how dare I quit my job!"

Wang De's trip was to steal his home. If he failed to steal his home, the situation would be much more dangerous. Yu Jin was not involved in the matter, but subconsciously thought that there might be a problem or a fight, so he expressed his position again.

When Yu Wentai heard this, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. After careful consideration, he decided to let Yu Jin help solve this mess. Yu Jin has enough talent and power, and he is not from Wuchuan. When facing Dugu Xin, he will not be affected by nostalgia and old friendship. He can fully consider Bafu's demands and interests, which is undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

So he forwarded the memorial sent by Dugu Xin to Yu Jin regarding the case. After browsing the memorial, Yu Jin couldn't help but look a little weird for a moment, and the corners of his mouth trembled subconsciously. After all, he still took Yuwen into consideration. In order to save Tai's face, he coughed twice while raising his hand to twist his beard, hiding the unnaturalness in his expression.

"Looking at this memorial, it can be seen that the Duke of Hanoi still did not lose sight of the state. Only the envoys were eager to act and did not wait for the later edicts. As a result, there was a difference in understanding between China and foreign countries. After I went to Long, I must state the intention of the Lord, and the Duke of Hanoi loyally recommended Righteousness, one must be able to understand things one has not noticed before!”

After pondering for a while, Yu Jin spoke again. Seeing that the situation was not as bad as he had guessed, he quickly adjusted his thoughts.

After Yuwentai heard this, he nodded, and said a few more polite words to express that Duguxin had really misunderstood him, and then explained the intention that the Bafu needed to achieve in this matter: "Thief minister Zhong He has lived in the city for a long time, and his followers have been accustomed to treacherous orders for a long time without knowing the king's laws. Although the evil in the city has been eliminated, the evil in their hearts has not been eliminated. Therefore, all the people in Liangzhou who follow the chaos must move to Neizhou to educate them strictly. !”

After Yu Jin heard this, he nodded. Migrating people from all over the world to enrich the capital is also the proper meaning after pacifying the chaos. The key is the number. The center naturally needs as many as possible, but local areas also need population to maintain basic state order.

"Since the reign of the Qin Dynasty, chaos has occurred frequently in the west of Qinlong River. Is it possible that there are strong bandits and bandits in that town but no moral integrity? My soldiers have been frequently troubled there. Is it because of the unruly local customs or the lack of governance by the herdsmen? If there is no supervision, , I am afraid that the root of the problem has not been eliminated, so we need to send a patrol to interview the local situation and observe the customs!"

Yuwentai went on to say that his control over Longyou and Hexi has always been relatively weak, and of course he wanted to strengthen it as soon as he seized the opportunity.

Yu Jin didn't say anything after hearing this, because it was obviously impossible. If you can really steal someone's home, of course you can do whatever you say, but now Wang De and the others are still stuck in their lair, and you still want to send people to dig holes to poach someone's house, but you are so handsome and beautiful!

Yu Wentai also felt that this request seemed a bit excessive, and after thinking about it, he said: "Yang Kuan is an old traitor from a well-known family. He is good at career and stingy in serving the country. Although he has gained a prominent position because of his qualifications, he is not talented enough. Hezhou is governed by an enemy, so it is better to have experienced generals to guard the border and deter the enemy, and to call them back to the country to teach them to be clear and powerful, so as not to detract from their family name and not hinder the national economy. "

Yang Kuan, the governor of Hezhou, was also not appointed by the Overlord. Before, the situation in Longyou and Hexi was complicated, so Yuwentai tolerated this old man. But now that the order is getting clearer, he needs more direct control, so he plans to recall Yang Kuan. .

The current situation was not as expected, so Yuwentai temporarily formulated these conditions, which only broke the situation that Duguxin's line was stronger than Longyou, and did not make any further requirements.

Of course, the specific result still depends on Jin's efforts. Yuwentai just set a bottom line for him that must be achieved. The actual situation is of course that the more he strives for, the better.

After Yu Jin accepted this face-to-face instruction, he planned to get up and leave to pack his bags, but Yu Wentai raised his hand to stop him.

"General, wait a minute, there is one more thing."

When Yu Wentai said this, his face became slightly distorted, and the masseter muscles on his cheeks swelled a few times, and then he spoke again: "Li Boshan, and Li Boshan! No matter what, we must bring this son back! After some cultivation in the house, everything will be done How can he let his clumsy strength go to waste when it is ready for use?"
