- The convoy turned around again and headed towards Zhaoyangfang in a mighty manner, but as soon as they arrived near the gate of Dongshi City, they saw a few people on horseback running in front of them. The leader was Jiu Zhi, who had arrived in Chang'an first.
Li Zhen was a little dissatisfied with Jiu Zhi. He sent him as a vanguard to come to Chang'an first to take care of things. He actually didn't even arrange his own accommodation, which made him almost humiliated. Li Zhen asked with a stern face: " Lieutenant, where is my residence?"
Jiu Zhi understood why Li Zhen was angry, and he was almost worried about this matter. It was useless to yell at Zhou Yaosi, and he was kicked out by him with a stick. Jiu Zhi said helplessly: "This matter about the official residence, my subordinates Later, I will report to the general that my subordinates have arranged a mansion in Xuanyangfang, not far from Sister Quan. Please stay here first. "
Li Zhen glared at him, and then ordered: "Go to Xuanyangfang!"
A group of carriages accelerated towards Xuanyangfang. Not long after, they slowly stopped in front of a large house. This large house looked very new, with high walls and an area of ??thirty or forty acres.
"Is this what you rented?" Li Zhen asked, pointing at the mansion with a riding crop.
Jiu Zhi quickly smiled and said, "A friend of Sister Quan borrowed this. He said it would be no problem to live here for half a year."
"Which friend is this? Does Second Brother Jiu know?" Di Yan suddenly asked from the side.
When Jiu Zhi heard that Di Yan actually called him Brother Jiu for the first time, he was suddenly surprised and happy, and his whole body was trembling with fat. He secretly glanced at Li Zhen and saw that he didn't seem to care, so he quickly said: "Miss Di, no! No! Mrs. Qichen seems to be a business friend of Sister Quan, and she has a lot of connections in Chang'an. I don't know the details. "
Di Yan nodded, smiled at Li Zhen and said, "Husband, let's stay here first!"
Li Zhen didn¡¯t want to bother anymore, so he immediately said to everyone: ¡°Let¡¯s stay here first!¡±
Everyone walked into the mansion one after another, and Li Zhen asked Jiu Zhi again: "Where is my eldest sister? Why didn't I see her?"
"Sister Quan went to Lingzhou Manor and should be back in the next two days. She said she received a big business and went to Lingzhou wine cellar to pick up the goods."
Li Zhen didn¡¯t ask any more questions and walked into the middle hall. Several scribes and Jiu Zhi also followed in. Li Zhen asked everyone to sit down, and then he asked Jiu Zhi: ¡°Tell me what you know about the situation.¡±
Jiu Zhi took a look at everyone and saw that Li Zhen didn't seem to care about the crowd's presence, so he had to report: "Actually, Chang'an, like Luoyang, is controlled by several major forces. In the officialdom, Jing Zhaoyin and Xijing Remain guard, while below the officialdom, Guan The world of the Long aristocracy, including the Jingzhao Mansion, is also controlled by the Guanlong aristocracy. Among the Guanlong aristocrats, the Dugu family and the Changsun family are the main ones. The two families take turns serving as alliance leaders, and the rest are the Dou family, Yuan family, Yu family, Zhao family, etc. , are all dependent on these two families.¡±
"After a pause, Jiu Zhi hesitated again and said: "I heard that the Dugu clan seems to support the King of Luling, and the Changsun clan supports the King Xiang, but this is just a rumor, and I have no conclusive evidence."
Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "Tell us about Zhou Yaosi!"
Hearing Li Zhen mention that 'Zhou is going to die', Jiu Zhi was furious. He said viciously: "This bastard is Wu Sansi's confidant. He relies on Wu Sansi's power to dominate and bully Chang'an." Men dominate women, and they don¡¯t pay for going to a brothel¡ª"
Zhang said and others said, ¡®Poof! ' Laughing out loud, Li Zhen held back his laughter and said: "Stop talking nonsense and talk about the key points!"
Jiu Zhi also knew that he had made a mistake and said what he was thinking. He blushed a little and said quickly: "I asked Zhou Yaosi to discuss the arrangement of the official residence, but he said that the housing supply was tight! He really had no choice. Class, let me go to Jing Zhaoyin, how could I go to Jing Zhaoyin? I told him that I knew there were many vacant houses and asked him to clear one out. I gave him a list at that time, but he became very angry. Just throw me out of the government office.¡±
"Where is the list?"
Jiu Zhi took out a list from his arms and handed it to Li Zhen. He said with some pride: "I got this from Liu Canjun. He is not bad and he helped me a lot secretly."
Li Zhen took the list and looked at it, and found that there seemed to be a large house in Chongrenfang that didn't look like a residence, so he asked, "What's going on with this house in Xuanpingfang?"
"That's not a residence, it's a large warehouse that stores more than 100,000 dan of grain. All Xijing's military rations are supplied by this granary."
Li Zhen walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then asked: "Do all the generals stationed in Xijing obey Zhou Yaosi's military orders?"
"That's not necessarily true. The main reason is that there was no deputy left for more than a year, and Wu Youning didn't care about Chang'an, so the power of the army was stolen by Zhou Yaosheng. Just the day before yesterday, Zhou Yaosheng summoned the generals of the army to lecture and force them to obey him completely. order, otherwise he will deal with them one by one."
Li Zhen sneered, "It seems that he really wants to give me a blow, but this is fine, everyone can break up."It¡¯s over. "
He immediately said to Chen Ziang: "I would like to ask Mr. Chen to write me an impeachment memorial. I impeached Zhou Yaosi for his act of trespassing and staying in the prince's palace without permission. Write three copies of the memorial, one for the Ministry of War, one for Di Xiangguo, and one for Xiangguo Di." Give it to Yu Shutai."
Chen Ziang clasped his fists and saluted, "I understand, just write it now."
Li Zhen then said to Jiu Zhi: "Gather all the brothers to fight with me."
After a pause, he said to Zhang again: "Sir, please go to Dugu Mansion. I leave my security to him."
Zhang explained that he understood what Li Zhen meant. Mrs. Di was highly skilled in martial arts and needed protection. The general's actions were actually giving the Dugu family an explanation.
"My subordinates know, let's go now!"
He turned and left, and Li Zhen immediately led a hundred bodyguards and cavalry and ran towards Xuanpingfang like a strong wind
The large warehouse in Xuanpingfang was originally the seed granary of the imperial court's Sinong Temple. It covers an area of ??100 acres and is composed of more than 30 huge granaries. Each granary can store 10,000 dan of grain. Since Sinong Temple moved to Luoyang, This grain depot was assigned to Xijing as a grain depot for the Xijing garrison.
There are usually about 300 soldiers stationed and guarded, led by a school captain. Not long after, Li Zhen led a hundred bodyguard cavalry into Xuanpingfang and rushed directly to the gate of the grain depot. His bodyguard cavalry had all experienced the Liaodong Campaign. The baptism of blood makes it even more murderous.
The alarm bell in the grain depot rang 'Dang! Dang!'. Dozens of soldiers stood on the high warehouse wall, nervously looking at the more than a hundred cavalry below. They didn't know what was going on, and everyone was uneasy. .
At this time, Li Zhen pointed at the city with his war sword and shouted sternly: "I am the newly appointed Li Zhen who is left behind in Xijing. Who is your general? Come and see me quickly!"
After a moment, the door of the warehouse slowly opened, and several officials rushed out. The leader was a school captain. He knelt down on one knee and said: "My humble post is Chen Duo, the guard of the grain depot. See you, General Li!"
The two civil servants at the back were the Chief Secretary and Cangsao Junjun. They both bowed and saluted, "See General Li."
Li Zhen originally thought that it would take a lot of fighting to seize the grain depot, but he did not expect to win it so easily. This shows that these three civil and military officials are not Zhou Yaosi's people, and also shows that Zhou Yaosi is mediocre and incompetent. Such an important grain depot He actually doesn't have control in his own hands?
"You three, please stand up and take me into the grain depot!"
The three officials stood up and led Li Zhen and a hundred cavalry into the granary. Chen Duo pointed to the granary and introduced it to Li Zhen: "There are thirty-four granaries in total, but only twenty-one granaries have food. About 150,000 dan, and there are empty warehouses all around, and the grain is stored in the inner warehouse. "
Li Zhen is not interested in inspecting the grain depot at the moment. He wants to control the army by controlling grain. After all, Zhou Yaosi has been in power for more than a year, and many generals are forced to be loyal to him. If he, Li Zhen, cannot control the military, then he The deputy stay in Xijing is just a decoration.
He asked: "How to provide food to the armies?"
"General Qi, according to the usual practice, food is provided every ten days. The generals of each army have to write an application. After Zhou Changshi approves, they come to collect the food. According to the time, it will be time to release food tomorrow."
Li Zhen immediately said coldly: "From now on, no grain is allowed to be released without my signature. Do you hear me?"
Zhou Yaosi didn't know that Li Zhen had occupied the grain depot at this time. In fact, he didn't care about it. Liu Canjun brought him extremely bad news. Li Zhen thought that he had violated the etiquette system and used the fourth grade Zhou Yaosi moved into the prince's official residence as an official. Zhou Yaosi was so frightened that his hands and feet became cold, and he hurriedly ran back to move. He temporarily found a ten-acre house and wanted to move his family there overnight.
Zhou Yaosi knew the consequences very well in his heart. Once Li Zhen impeached him, he would be watched by the Yushitai. Losing his official position was a small matter, but losing his life was a big deal. He complained in his heart and ordered his family to pack boxes and cages all night. Just when Zhou Yaosi was about to When the carriages and boxes were escorted out of the house, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in the distance. Soon the horses rushed to the gate. A man got off his horse and shouted, "Zhou Changshi!"
Zhou Yaosi walked in carrying a lantern and recognized him as a family member of King Liang. He had sent him a letter before. He was suddenly shocked and asked, "What, did King Liang send you a letter?"
? ?p>The messenger man took out a letter and handed it to him, "This is an urgent letter from His Highness to Chang Shi. Please read it!"
Zhou Yaosi took the letter and handed the lantern to the maid next to him. He opened the letter and looked at the lantern. He couldn't help but complain secretly. The tone in the letter from King Liang was very tough and ordered him not to hand over military power to Li Zhen. Li Zhen must be handed over. Completely empty.
It was easy to say, but no matter what he was asked to do, a small turmoil in the official residence made him embarrassed. If he had to confront Li Zhen again, wouldn't he be tortured to death? But he had to obey the orders of King Liang, so he had to He sighed and said to the messenger: "ReplyGo tell King Liang and I will do as he is told. "
Early the next morning, there was a small commotion outside the grain depot in Xuanpingfang. Hundreds of grain trucks piled up at the gate. Hundreds of soldiers were waiting anxiously outside. For a moment, an officer walked out with a look of helplessness on his face. He came out of the grain depot and said to the soldiers transporting grain: "Go back! General Lin has to solve this matter."
This was just a batch of grain transport convoys. Then the second and third batch of grain transport convoys arrived, and they all got the same result. The new Xijing stayed behind without approval, and no grain was distributed. The military commanders had to apply again themselves.
Not long after, a dozen cavalrymen rushed into Xuanpingfang at lightning speed. The leader was a captain general named Lin Shaotong. He was the commander of the army stationed in Daming Palace. He had more than a thousand soldiers under his command. He was the first in the morning. A man came to collect food, but was rejected.
Lin Shaotong immediately understood what had happened. Li Zhen had blocked the food. If they did not turn their allegiance to him, they would never receive a grain of food. If there was no food today, the soldiers would be without food tomorrow, and the consequences would be dire. It was so serious that Lin Shaotong had to come over and express his position.
He also admired Li Zhen's methods very much. He started with food and choked the necks of the armies. Everyone could not help but refuse to give in. Compared with Zhou Yaosi's fierce voice, Li Zhen's quiet skills were much better than him. From this incident It can be seen from the above that Zhou Yaosi will definitely lose in this battle.
Lin Shaotong was led into the grain depot by the soldiers and brought to the lobby of the grain depot. This is where the civil servants work, but a large group of craftsmen are busy modifying something?
Lin Shaotong stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Lin Shaotong meets General Li!"
"You are Captain Lin of Daming Palace. I have admired you for a long time."
Li Zhen quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "I originally planned to call everyone last night to discuss the new government office, but I was in a hurry last night. Let's get together tomorrow! Let's all get together."
"What new government office?" Lin Shaotong asked in confusion.
Li Zhen pointed to the lobby where the craftsmen were busy and said with a smile: "I feel that the official offices in the imperial city are too deserted, so I decided to move the official offices out of the imperial city starting from today and put them here temporarily until Chongwenfang After the new government office is tidied up, we will officially move there. - Didn't finish reading?
