Chapter 739 It’s not that easy to be a traitor

Shendu, Luoyang.

Since Pei Yuan was appointed as the right servant of Zhongshu and the minister of Luantai, the commander of the bodyguard Ma Bu and the commander of the army, and the governor of all prefectures and counties in Zhili, Queen Cao Yanxi has done a big thing.

She handed over her second son, the eighth son Zhang Xianzai, who was only three years old, to her sister, and her concubine Cao Yannai took her to Luoyang, the sacred capital.

After Cao Yannai arrived in Luoyang, martial law was immediately implemented in Ziwei Palace in Luoyang.

Luo Tongda, the only remaining general of the Lao Guiyi Army and the prime minister during the period of Zhang Zhi's father Zhang Chengfeng, was responsible for the entire imperial guard work.

The city defense of Luoyang was put in charge of Cao Yanming, Duke of Ziting County, who had just resigned as the construction envoy of Shendu.

Eighty percent of the people used in this imperial guard system came from Helong, and of these eighty percent, more than sixty percent came from various families in the Guasha Laogui Rebel Army.

It can be said that except for people from the Lao Guiyi Army faction, it is impossible to get close to him.

At the same time, Cao Yannai also took Zhang Xianzai with him and lived in seclusion in Ziwei Palace.

The reason why Queen Cao Yanxi did this was because she saw the turbulent waves under the seemingly calm conditions.

In less than a year when Zhang Hao left Jingzhao Chang'an Prefecture and went to Chengtian Liangzhou Prefecture, Pei Yuan did everything that could be called dangerous.

Whether our Pei family can produce another Xian Gong depends on you."

In the years since the founding of the Zhou dynasty, the imperial court has been constantly conquering the north and south. Zhang Xichong provided perfect guarantees in matters such as grain, grass, baggage, and the supply and deployment of mules, carriages, and ships, without making any mistakes.

But on the contrary, Pei Yuan didn't make any movement at first, and even going to court seemed to be just a perfunctory one.

As for the Hexi Chamber of Commerce, Pei Yuan even suggested that some of its functions be abolished and merged into the Jinyi Guards.

For two whole months, I didn't take any power or handle any major issues.

The other type is those who have committed crimes, and most of them are serious criminals. They may join Buddhism to avoid their enemies, or to avoid the government, or even just to use their identity as a monk as a cover to make it easier to travel around.

In terms of ranking, he would probably only be ranked behind Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty.

Pei Yuan helped Pei Ji up, then pulled out a short knife and handed it to Pei Ji.

Although Zhang Xichong is strict, that is for an official. He has done a good job in terms of character and in supervising officials' work efficiency.

No matter how they conceal their whereabouts, as long as they use the Fuyuan Crossbow, they cannot escape the surveillance of the imperial court."

So Pei Yuan knew what he should do, and then he implemented fishing law enforcement for three months, and then began to close the net.

The purpose of this danger was to lure Li Renshu and the others out. These people were able to send Master Cixian to the Xiangji Temple where there were many guards in the dark. If they were not caught in one fell swoop, the saint's trip to Bozhou would be ruined.

It’s extremely dangerous.”

This is to tune the tiger away from the mountain and add the black tiger to rip out the heart!

This isn't Buddhism, it's just a bandit's den.

"There are some things that only the second uncle can do. Saints have their own difficulties.

The young man also chuckled, "With the intelligence of Li Renshu, a Huaibei thief, he would not understand that the relationship between the second uncle and Cao Wanjin was just an act, and that the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Zhang Gong, did not want to get rid of the second uncle.

All of a sudden, all kinds of ghosts and snakes came out. The old martial arts who had failed after Zhang Shengren took over the Central Plains. The powerful Wubao heroes who suffered heavy losses. After the Qianzhuanghui was captured, the major Buddhist sects with resentment immediately started to fight.

Demon.

Because this is a tough battle, different from the security war fought by large corps.

Later, local governments were ordered to conduct an inventory of all temples within their jurisdiction. Even those with only three or five monks must be inspected.

The second uncle in the young man's mouth was suddenly Pei Yuan, the 'great traitor' who had just escaped assassination.

Pei Yuan also mercilessly detained this idiot who was known as Su Guogong's father-in-law, and beat him to death. The four thugs who injured the people were all executed directly.

At the same time, he was also preparing to submit a letter to Zhang Zhang to merge most of the functions of the Bank Association into the Transfer Department, and then merge it to form a new yamen - the Gold, Silver, Salt, and Iron Transfer Department, which would be under the direct management of the Shangshu Province, and the remaining small parts would simply become royal private property.

It was not until the weapons that relied on a large number of temples were basically disarmed that the smooth operation to exterminate the Buddha began.

It can even be said that compared to the kings of previous dynasties, Saint Zhang was quite tolerant in terms of being a founding hero and a wise lord.

He was also the last general of the Han family in Shuofang. He died in battle when Li Ji moved to Lingzhou. After him, Shuofang returned to the hands of the Han people in the Zhu Hongwu period.

He even beheaded a few unlucky ones to scare the monkeys. Even the cousin of Concubine Kang in the palace, who was Kang Fu's grandson, was sentenced to death.

Historically, before Guo Rong exterminated Buddhism, he specially formed a bodyguard Ma Bu pro-army to replace the imperial army, which was mainly composed of warriors from Daibei and Hedong.

Until now, although the Hexi Chamber of Commerce and Banks have indeed made great contributions to the court, their power has expanded to the point where they have begun to compete with the court's household department for financial rights after Zhang Gao neglected to control them, and they were even called real by officials.

Household Department.

This is also the reason why Pei Yuan needs to mobilize soldiers from the inspection departments of Hezhong and Shaanzhou prefectures near Guanzhong and the troops from the prefecture and county guards.

In an inconspicuous courtyard in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, a tall young man slipped in very easily from a very hidden dog hole at the base of the wall.

Pei Ji was overjoyed and kowtowed to Pei Yuan. He knew how rare this opportunity was. Many people had kowtowed and broke their legs to find such a way.

Pei Yuan used his authority to directly transfer the inspection department soldiers from Hezhong Prefecture and Shaanzhou Prefecture in Zhili and the guard troops from the two prefectures to Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, and then arrested them one by one based on the evidence collected in the past three months.

Arrest people.

Fifteen-year-old Pei Ji shook his head violently, "Uncle, why do you need to do this? Nephew, you can't even go down and do it!"

A group of people held back Pei Yuan's guards, and several other sharpshooters armed with Fuyuan crossbows had already laid ambush on the tall building. In just a few breaths, they fired six arrows in a row, all of which hit the carriage.

At first everyone thought Pei Yuan was faking it, but seeing that he kept showing off for two months, many people now believed it.

There are private rumors that Pei Yuan has fallen out of favor a long time ago and was sent by the emperor to take the blame. Now he dare not do anything to protect himself.

Although he couldn't compete with the Conglong heroes from the Helong area, he had to find a place to make up for the losses he had suffered.

"Second uncle, we found out. As expected, three of the Fuyuan crossbows they used came from Hedong craftsmen. The place where they settled in Tokyo was a small businessman from Hebei. Everything seems to have nothing to do with Huainan or Huaibei."

There is a reason why Pei Yuan was so emotional. He dared to act so cruelly and stopped doing many things only half way. This was obviously clearing the way for the emperor!

Because Zhang Zhang knew nothing about finance, and in order to raise money to fight wars and control various Buddhist sects in the Central Plains, he created banknotes and bank associations.

"If you can't do it yourself, you do it!"

If I can't defeat the heroes of Conglong, I can't defeat these Guizhou bosses below?

Therefore, when Pei Yuan arrived at Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, he discovered that the social order of Zhang Zhou's dynasty had reached a point where it had to be reversed.

Because his most important task at that time was to use the already insufficient finances to supply the army for the southern and northern wars.

As the imperial court's control weakened, many temples did not take the ultimatum seriously.

When recruiting brave warriors from all over the world to join the Ma Bu army, Guo Rong almost asked those hiding in the temple to come out and join him by name.

The posture is extremely smooth, and there is not even much clay on the robe. It can be seen that he must have drilled it many times and is very skilled.

He installed steel plates on both sides of the carriage and wore more than 20 kilograms of chainmail made of twisted steel wire at all times. The number of accompanying soldiers usually started at thirty.

Tokyo, Kaifeng Prefecture

After Zhang Gao sent an angel to announce his appointment, everyone thought that Pei Yuan was going to be a treacherous official with monopolistic power.

Even the Inspection Department, the local military attache at the grass-roots level in Zhangzhou, who was in charge of a local area, had seven people killed in the battle, which shows how fierce the battle was.

Hmm! It’s very reasonable.

On June 11, Pei Yuan arrested a large number of the former Hedong Daibeixun ministers who had seized people's fields, robbed people's women, robbed shops, and even killed people.

In this week, as long as you don't openly confront Zhang Shengren, don't violate the king's laws, or even jump out and do it yourself, Zhang Shengren rarely kills people, and rarely makes the people below him peaceful for the sake of PUA.

Is this style good?

The smell of blood suddenly dispersed, and the sky turned white. A piece of news quickly spread throughout Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo.

This is also the reason why Zhang Zhang used the Donggui Sect and the Lianglan Liugu Sect that entered the Central Plains to eat up most of the benefits of the old Hedong and Daibei Wuxun, but did not cause much turmoil.

As a result, for some unknown reason, this memorial was leaked before it was issued, immediately arousing huge opposition.

You must know that Kang Fu was very kind to the weak Zhang Yan in the past. Kang Concubine was very beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and gave birth to a prince. She was also a very favored existence. Her cousin, Pei Yuan

Kill when told, without blinking an eye.

Zhongpu, if something goes wrong here, I will recommend you to the Zhongshu Province. With such an old face in the family, the saint will definitely take you with him.

Now, the emperor is not here, and the "treacherous minister" who can be called the regent is frightened, so why not start having fun quickly?

In Zhangzhou, the warriors brought by Zhang Zhi from the Helong area were already very capable, and they were followed by the Guanzhong Yi Cong composed of tens of thousands of Guanzhong men.

Of course, the most intense event was in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo. One day ago, Pei Yuan took a carriage to go to the imperial court. As a result, when he was about to reach the imperial city, a group of assassins suddenly appeared.

Pei Yuan shouted, and Pei Ji burst into tears. After taking three or four deep breaths, he decided to stab Pei Yuan with a knife.

After saying that, Pei Yuan seemed to be a little emotional, "I'm so happy about the Pei family! In the great dynasty alone, there were seventeen prime ministers, and there were also peerless talents like Xiangong (Pei Xingjian), but now, only you are left.

My uncle and nephew.

Therefore, Zhang Yan's tolerant style soon brought long-lost peace to this violent society.

Generally speaking, it is very good. You must know that since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the sword handle has been the principle. The warriors from top to bottom (the emperor is also a warrior) will not reason with you at all. When encountering problems, they will just strike with a sword and bring down the whole society.

It became a kind of illness.

In history, Pei Ji was almost the last glory of the Wenxi Pei family. Wu Neng led the cavalry formation to kill thousands of Khitans, and Wen Neng stabilized the place and brought it to great order.

He first ordered eminent Buddhist monks from Zhili, Hebei, Hedong, and Jiaodong provinces to gather at Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo to chant sutras and pray for the Empress Dowager Cisheng in the name of the upcoming birthday of the Emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Cisheng.
