Chapter Nineteen
The messenger was an unknown eunuch eunuch.
Pei Min has never seen it before.
However, this eunuch was trembling and without any rampantness of the envoy of the Heavenly Family.
Han Zhuang's death sounded a wake-up call to the rampant eunuchs, making them realize that some people can offend, and some people can never afford to offend.
Pei Min, obviously the latter.
The eunuch respectfully finished reading the edict and handed over the edict to Pei Min.
Yuan Luqian, Li Linfu, Su Qi and others on the side were shocked: Jiedushi and Censor. What a concept!
Especially Li Linfu, he felt that Pei Min's actions this time were no different from seeking death. If he hadn't been able to leave now, he would have thought of leaving.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Pei Min actually took a step further, and took a big step to gain control of the military and political killing power throughout Longyou.
All Li Linfu had in his eyes was shock!
Looking at the edict in his hand, Pei Min himself was also a little shocked. The military and political killing power was given to him in this way, and he was in his hands.
This trust, this burden!
A raging flame ignited in Pei Min's eyes and asked, "Wu Hua, where does Tong Hao worship the sky?"
"On the bank of Huangshui!" Su Qi responded immediately.
"Take me there!" Pei Min didn't know where the Huangshui River is, but the Huangshui River is an important tributary of the upper reaches of the Yellow River. It flows through canyons and basins, with more than 300 kilometers. He didn't know where the details were, and he didn't want to waste time searching.
Yuan Luqian asked, "Brother Pei is this plan?"
Pei Min sneered: "They have the courage to plot against me. Do I, the governor and the censor, have no courage to kill the chicken and scare the monkey? Lead the way!"
Su Qi was shocked and walked honestly in front of him.
The gun strikes the bird!
This is the law in the officialdom for thousands of years. Once something happens, the first person to stand out often dies the fastest.
At this moment, Pei Min was almost equal to a fool's hat in the heart of the governor of the twelve prefectures in Longyou.
Droughts are natural disasters, and locust plagues are also natural disasters.
Whether a man can beat the sky does not matter.
What is important is that natural disasters are not capable of fighting against them. Even if Longyou is damaged by drought and locust plagues, these have nothing to do with them.
Their political achievements will not be stained.
How can humans compete with natural disasters?
Faced with this situation, if you don’t do it well, you will be wrong.
Especially Wu Hua, the governor of Shanzhou, and Tonghao, the governor of Shanzhou.
The two of them are a bit old-fashioned and antique, and they attach great importance to the power in their hands and are unwilling to interfere with their affairs.
Pei Min helped them open the canal as a military general. In their opinion, it was not only not helpful, but also attacked them.
Originally, in the year of a severe drought, some fertile soil was protected and part of the harvest was guaranteed. This was a great contribution, and the credit was obtained by them. Now they have to share half of it to the military. They don’t say it on the surface, but they actually care about it in their hearts.
As for Pei Min opened several more ditches with the help of Longyou Army, they would not be able to calculate carefully.
The drought has not passed, and the locust plague has come again.
Pei Min appeared in front of them again, and wanted to interfere in government affairs.
This time Pei Min had no order and was unreasonable, so Wu Hua was unwilling to listen.
As for Pei Min's kick, Tong Hao, the governor of the Shanxi Province, kept it in mind. Not only did he sue the emperor, he also came up with a secret trick to Pei Min's "seeking death".
He said to the governor Wu Hua: "Pei Min shook the sky with human power, which is really a wise move. We can use it to improve our reputation and achieve a lifetime of wisdom through his failure. Pei Min had almost no chance of winning the locusts. The result will only become more miserable. Even if the particles of Longyou are gone, it has nothing to do with us. It was Pei Min who did not know the sky and the earth were strong and tried to defeat the sky with human power, which caused the agitated locust gods to have such a result. And we led the people day and night to pray for blessings, and every word and action, and everything we did was in the eyes of the people. At that time, the people in the entire Shanzhou all mistook our good, but they hated Pei Min who destroyed their homes to the core. The people were resentful, and we saw how he ended."
Wu Hua hesitated at the time: "What if, what if he really succeeds?"
Tong Hao continued without hesitation: "It is clearly our sincere prayer for blessings and leading the people to move God. What is the relationship with Pei Min who committed the slaughter? Whether it is the final result or not, we are the ultimate beneficiaries."
For this purpose, Wu Hua and Tong Hao also put in good intentions and paid a lot. Not only did they buy three high-incense foods out of their own pockets, but they even knelt for most of the day, drinking water and not eating, and they were full of scenes.
When Pei Min arrived at the shore of Huangshui, Wu Hua and Tong Hao were reading the tribute to God.
The words are moving and beautiful, and Wu Hua is very devoted to his thoughts.
Just as he begged for the mercy of God, Pei Min went up loudly and said, "If God knows mercy, how could a drought or a locust plague be caused by heaven? The governor of a state is actually in public and confusing the public. It is really hateful and shameful."
Wu Hua's mindfulness was suddenly interrupted by Pei Min so mercilessly, and he shouted: "Pei Jiedu, you are killing animals in Longyou and committing random killings, which has led to disasters everywhere in Longyou. This governor cannot control you. We pray to the heaven for the people of Longyou. It would be fine if you don't help, but you are also involved in trouble. What is your intention?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him were talking, looking at Pei Min with bad eyes, but he was a little confused.
It was because Pei Min regained the Jiuqu land of Hexi and the Shibao City that Shanzhou was exempted from military disasters.
The people have not forgotten this kind of kindness.
They don’t know how to view the two because of their contradictory relationships.
"What a big deal!" Pei Min said, but after hearing this, he further confirmed his guess and sneered: "Disaster is coming, and you, Wu Hua, are in the position of governor, have no virtue and incompetence, and do not try your best to stop the disaster. Instead, they are slandering and confusing the public, leading the people to sit and wait for death, and they are ridiculous."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Hao, who was standing by, immediately responded: "Natural disasters are the punishment of God. Only by cultivating virtue can it be eliminated. Pei Jiedu, a military minister, only knows how to fight and kill, so he naturally does not understand this principle."
Pei Minsenran said: "You said that natural disasters are punishments, and only by cultivating virtue can we avoid locust plagues. Does it mean that locust plagues are caused by lack of virtue? What do you mean is that the saints do not cultivate virtue?"
Tong Hao's face changed drastically.
The purpose has been achieved, Pei Min did not give the two people a chance to speak, and said loudly: "The person who came, Wu Hua, the governor of Shanzhou, encountered a disaster, did not work hard to solve it. Instead, he prayed to God for being extremely incompetent, stripped off his official hat and court robes and removed his position as the governor. Tong Hao, the governor of Shanzhou, was a governor, followed him and made trouble, and also implied that the saint had lost his morality, had ulterior motives and was unforgivable, and he would first remove all positions, put them in prison, and wait for the defeat."
Wu Hua and Tong Hao were furious in an instant.
Wu Hua even shouted: "I am the third rank of the dynasty, why should you go to my official position?"
