Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 513: Tianjie tramples all the bones of the public minister

Chapter 513 Tianjie tramples all the bones of the prince

Zhai Muzhi seemed to have picked the right time. The camp here had just been set up and he arrived on time.

The soldiers started to light a fire to make food. Zhai Muyi wore a Confucian shirt and sat in the commander's tent drinking. There was a bonfire burning in the tent, and the guards were grilling meat. Two maids stood on the left and right, adding wine to Zhai Muzhi. The generals around were laughing and joking, enjoying themselves.

His chief official, Xie Ruhai, was accompanying him, and there was another unknown scribe who occupied the position of host and guest.

Zhao Changhe stepped into the handsome tent and rolled his eyes, his face expressionless.

It's a war, are you going to have a bonfire party?

"What is the secret envoy of the Jade Card of the Demon-Suppressing Division? It turns out to be Zhao Changhe." Zhai Muzhi laughed: "Sit, sit, sit down, you haven't eaten yet, how about we eat something together?"

Zhao Changhe sat in the lower seat with a calm expression: "Prefect Zhai knows Mr. Zhao?"

"Contrary? Blood Shura Zhao Changhe is famous all over the world, who doesn't know him? It's no secret that Zhao Shaoxia has a close relationship with the Chief Minister of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it normal that the secret envoy is Zhao Shaoxia!" Zhai Muzhi said enthusiastically Pulling the scribe on the guest seat: "Introduce to Shaoxia Zhao, this is the imperial envoy Lu Shouyi, born in Fanyang!"

Lu Shouyi also knew that this guy’s identity was a bit sensitive, so he stood up and handed over his hands with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhao has a thunderous reputation. I'm glad to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." Zhao Changhe bowed his hand to Lu Shouyi perfunctorily, secretly thinking that he just had to recognize me as the Wang Daozhong from before...

In the end, Zhai Muzhi actually said: "Do you know, Young Master Zhao, that Wang Daozhong came to my place a few days ago..."

Zhao Changhe was startled: "A few days ago?"

Wasn’t it more than a month ago? And why did you mention Wang Daozhong for no reason...

But he heard what Zhai Mu said: "I don't know what kind of injury Wang Daozhong suffered. He was being hunted by the leader of the Blood God Sect led by Xue. He entered Bashu to seek help from Zhai. Zhai heard that during the battle of Xiangyang, the Blood God Sect He has been recruited and is on the side of the court, right? It should be Zhao Shaoxia who built the bridge?"

Zhao Changhe was even more surprised, Damn, Lao Xue can actually one day chase the Dibang and be successful... By the way, how did Wang Daozhong get injured?

"The Blood God Cult has indeed been recruited, but what happened next?"

Zhai Mu said: "Since the Blood God Sect has been recruited, and the Wang family's rebellion has been revealed, and Wang Daozhong has even just escaped from prison, then this is the court trying to catch the rebels... How can Zhai help Wang Daozhong? Of course. , Zhao Shaoxia, no wonder, Zhai will not offend the Wang family directly, but just avoids it. Wang Daozhong has no choice, Xue Canghai is chasing behind him, so he has to take the road south, fearing that he will hide in Miao territory... Zhao Shaoxia goes north. Didn’t meet it? ”

"There are so many roads, how can you say that you will meet them whenever you meet them." Zhao Changhe responded casually, feeling quite strange in his heart.

I don’t know if Zhai Muzhi guessed that it was him who was the king last time...but it doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

Related to Shi Wuding's previous move to capture Wang Daozhong, there is a high probability that it was under Zhai Mu's instruction. It can be seen that Zhai Mu's attitude was consistent before and after. He seemed to be really siding with the imperial court in dealing with the king... From this point of view, this guy is actually the most siding with the imperial court among the various princes he has seen in the past two years. Cui Wen ?Z Yang Jingxiu is probably not as "loyal" as him.

Perhaps the bad thing is that people who really regard themselves as Daxia officials are like this.

While talking, a maid came over to refill the wine. Zhao Changhe lowered his eyes to watch the maid refilling the wine, and said calmly: "Don't blame Zhao for speaking bluntly, the prefect's behavior... is quite against military regulations."

"Is it true that the general will not accept the emperor's orders? I am the commander-in-chief, so I am not the one to decide the military discipline and rules myself?" Zhai Muzhi smiled generously: "Master Lu has no objection."

Lu Shouyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Soldiers are working **** expeditions, and it's time to relax when it's time to relax."

Zhao Changhe twitched his cheeks. After hearing what you said, the thin and emaciated soldiers who were eating rancid dry food would want to quarrel? Rice stewed with strontium ァＫ? He asked expressionlessly: "Strict military discipline, but It’s not just for good looks...Have you ever thought about what happens if you can’t beat him?”

Zhai Muzhi and Lu Shouyi looked at each other and asked, "Young Master Zhao is here with a jade card, but he has something to say about the Miao army?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Lei Zhentang has completed the alliance of various ethnic groups. Around the Erhai Lake alone, the total strength of each ethnic group is fifty to sixty thousand, which is countless in the entire Miao territory. Moreover, the terrain is complex and poisonous miasma is everywhere. The witchcraft is weird. He can't even keep up with supplies when he's deep into the enemy's territory... Zhao thinks he can't fight without his own troops. I don't know where Governor Zhai got his confidence."

Zhai Muzhi lowered his voice: "According to what Zhao Shaoxia saw, will they fight out?"

Zhao Changhe shook his head: "The possibility of fighting is not high. It is difficult for us to get in, and it is equally difficult for them to get out. What's more, after they get out, they also lose their geographical advantage."

Zhai Muzhi said, stroking his hands: "That's right. According to the news reported by the Miaojiang Suppressing Demon Division, they didn't even work together and formed some kind of joint alliance among the five races. They probably had hidden dangers of competing for hegemony... Such a situation Come, the possibility of typing is even lower.”

Zhao Changhe secretly thought that this should be the situation reported by Li Si'an. No matter how much this guy helps Taoyuan Town manage affairs, he is the general of the Demon Suppression Department in his job, so there is nothing wrong with it. At least it didn’t say that it was Zhao Changhe who prompted it...

Zhai Muzhi moved forward a little and lowered his voice: "Since they can't fight them out, why do we have to fight them in? This is not something that our troops in Shu County can do in the first place. We only need Defending the territory is a great achievement. In order to quell the Miao rebellion in the future, the imperial generals will come..."

Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat as he finally understood this guy's logic.

Obviously Miaojiang was exploited and forced to rebel by him, but Lan Tiankuo and other Xuanwei envoys have long since died without any evidence. What is the use of the slogans of the rebel Lei Zhentang and others? It can be regarded as just an excuse for rebellion. Zhai Muzhi cannot be shaken at all. It was mentioned in Li Si'an's report that everyone in the court had to deal with it. After all, the so-called exploitation, Lei Zhentang and other leaders themselves were no more exploited than Zhai Muzhi, so it was difficult to define the factors.

It's not like there's no one in his court. Fan Yanglu is just sitting there drinking, and he's an imperial envoy. Most of them are responsible for investigating the whole story, but this investigation has clearly led to collusion.

If Xia Longyuan was in charge, he would definitely not be able to fool him, but Xia Longyuan really didn't care. It is almost foreseeable that Zhai Muzhi will not face much criticism in the court, and if he does, it will be easy to deal with it. Even Tang Wanzhuang's impeachment was of no use. The Supervisory Power of the Demon Suppressing Division was hard to tell, and the Demon Suppressing Division apparently did not have this power.

In other words, Zhai Muzhi could have caused all the troubles, but they were all covered up. He could not fight against the opponent. Instead, he had the ability to "defend the territory" and was promoted to a higher position.

The Miao people have not been defeated, so where does the power come from? Just put a few Miao hairstyles on the heads of the Xia villagers who were killed outside... Isn't this proof that the Miao people fought and were repelled?

Zhai Muzhi did not intend to rebel. He was really a "loyal" Daxia bureaucrat.

It's just that this kind of bureaucracy... can create countless rebels.

The puzzle that Zhao Changhe came to see Zhai Muzhi was solved in just a few words. There really was no conspiracy, nor was it some kind of collaboration with Lei Zhentang... Zhai Muzhi was even quite open-minded. It seems that this is something that everyone understands and takes for granted.

I have helped you deal with Wang Daozhong. I am a loyal minister and my position is stable.

But Zhao Changhe was even more angry, and there were some blue veins in the hand holding the wine glass.

I have done everything in the Miao border, promoted the alliance of the five ethnic groups, and taken in countless Xia people. Is this just to let you do this kind of thing?

What if there is no me? Do you care if the Miao Xia people are slaughtered?

Zhai Muzhi observed his words and saw that he looked wrong, so he whispered: "This merit should naturally be attributed to Zhao Shaoxia... In addition, I heard that Zhao Shaoxia has been troubled by meridians. We have some supplements here that may be helpful..."

We can’t fall out now, there is still one last problem to solve.

Zhao Changhe suppressed his anger and spoke slowly: "Thank you, prefect, for your guidance. But Zhao still has something to ask."

Zhai Muzhi seemed relieved and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhao, please speak."

"How much does Prefect Zhai know about the Bashan Jianlu incident?"

Zhai Muzhi shook his head: "Jianlu has always been a famous family in Bashu and has a lot of contacts with various families. Zhai doesn't know why they have to move to Miao territory. Speaking of this, Zhai is a little curious about how the master Shi Offended the young hero and was killed by the young hero and Yue Nuxia? Logically speaking, Jianlu is on the right path..."

Zhao Changhe observed his eyes and said slowly: "Actually, it was not us who killed Shi Wuding, or we just missed and killed Shi Wuding who was seriously injured. Otherwise, how could Hong Ling and I kill Di? Sixth on the list?"

Zhai Muzhi smiled and said: "It's already very powerful... I wonder who seriously injured Sect Master Shi first?"

Zhao Changhe said word by word: "No. 6 on the Heavenly Ranking, Xue Xiao, the master of Tingxue Tower, does the prefect know anything about it?"

Zhai Muzhi was stunned for a moment, as if it was a bit unbelievable, then waved his hand and smiled: "Who in the world knows the master of Tingxue Tower, No. 6 on the list? But Zhai does not have the opportunity to meet such a person..."

Zhao Changhe had a clear understanding in his heart. Zhai Muzhi must have seen Snow Owl, and even knew that Snow Owl could not be killed by Shi Wuding!

He was about to say something when he suddenly felt an earthquake-like illusion coming from a distance.

Zhai Muzhi obviously noticed it, and stood up suddenly, showing that his cultivation was on par with Zhao Changhe, or even slightly better.

It is indeed a double secret treasure.

Immediately someone came into the account and reported: "Prefect, it's bad, thousands of soldiers and horses are rushing towards our camp!"

"Thousands? There are more than 40,000 of us here. Are you here to die?" Zhai Muzhi said in surprise: "Could it be an attack by the Miao people? How could they come from the east?"

"They are not Miao people!" Another soldier hurriedly rushed in: "I saw their handsome flag, and the word 'Strong' was written in big letters."

Zhai Muzhi's expression changed drastically: "Super powerful!"
