Liu Jin was in power and did not care about the rebellion of the vassal kings and nobles in the three sides.

Liu Jin even wanted to make a fuss about this matter and put the blame on the Governor of Xuanda Chen Xi. In his opinion, with his control over the court, as long as he did not go to war with the Tatars, he could be invincible and let Chen Xi stay in Xuanfu for a long time and not be allowed to return.

As for Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, he had to rely on Liu Jin to help make money. Even if he had doubts about Liu Jin's loyalty, he was far from the point of killing a donkey. This pair of kings and ministers had their own thoughts and kept a peaceful situation for the time being.

Xiao Taozi and Xie Qian have the same purpose, that is, to use Liu Jin to deceive his superiors and conceal his subordinates, to bring him down, etc., to deceive him, and to abuse his power. However, as time went by, Zhu Houzhao showed his indifferent attitude towards Liu Jin's mistakes. Xiao Taozi realized that Liu Jin would be difficult to overturn in a short period of time.

However, Xie Qian found it difficult to accept this reality and still stubbornly wanted to impeach Liu Jin, but even he himself knew it would not have any effect.

When Liu Jin passed the news of the three-sided vassal kings and nobles trying to rebel from Kuaima to Xuanfu Town, Zhang Wenmian was shocked when he learned about the situation.

As a qualified strategist, Zhang Wenmian immediately realized the huge political risks hidden behind this, especially when it comes to rebellion in local vassal kings, which has a great possibility of affecting Liu Jin's position in the emperor's mind, and he must be very cautious.

"...Yan Guang, the matter seems to be not as serious as you think? Even if there is chaos in the local area, it is still in Ningxia Town. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so it will not affect Xuanfu, let alone the capital. Besides, there is no support scene here now with the surname Chen? At that time, he led less than 10,000 troops, but he killed tens of thousands of Tatars in a defeat. Pingding rebelled, it is probably even more difficult!"

After Jiang Liwei learned the news, he did not feel very surprised, nor did he think it was a crisis, and he lacked the minimum sensitivity to politics.

Zhang Wenmian frowned and said, "The local chaos in Xuanfu was just used by Eunuch Liu to swear to His Majesty. It has no big impact on the court. Even if false reports are reported, it is just a trivial matter. Your Majesty will not take it seriously, and it will not be compared with the previous false reports of Tatar military achievements in Xuanfu Town... ahem!"

When he found out that he had made a mistake, Zhang Wenmian was not panicked and his face did not even blush, because he knew that Jiang Liwei was on the same boat as him and would never betray him. Moreover, Liu Jin falsely reported his military achievements in the court had long been no secret.

Seeing Zhang Wenmian answering the question that was irrelevant, Jiang Liwei asked in confusion: "Yan Guang thinks that this war has a great impact on his father-in-law? And it is mostly an adverse impact?"

Zhang Wenmian's face was cold: "I am worried about this... There are many princes and nobles in the three sides. These people may not have many soldiers and horses at their disposal, but they have been entrenched in the local area for many years. It can be said that the officials appointed by the court cannot shake their status at all... Think about it, the few times that Chen's surname has worked in the northwest and never becomes enemies with local vassal kings and nobles is enough to explain the problem."

"That……"

Jiang Liwei didn't know what to say, and always felt that Zhang Wenmian was too worried. In his eyes, whether it was ordinary people who caused rebellion, or vassal kings and nobles on the three sides, the result was the same, and they would soon be quelled by the court. It was just a matter of time and would not have any impact on Liu Jin.

Zhang Wenmian did not explain more to Jiang Liwei and ordered: "You go and call the Yang first. We will stay in Xuanfu Town for a long time. We must act as soon as possible depending on the situation and try to get rid of the Chen surnamed earlier. If we do not succeed, we have basically completed the tasks arranged by Eunuch Liu!"

Jiang Liwei was a little unhappy when he heard this. What he cared about was not how much money he had helped Liu Jin to accumulate. He would not give him any amount of money. Even if he was in a good mood, he would not make up for the huge wealth he gave to cling to Liu Jin. His only purpose of coming to Xuanfu Town was to kill Chen Xi.

However, Jiang Liwei did not make a fuss with Zhang Wenmian and nodded, "I'll go to Governor Yang now to see what he has to say!"

...

...

Yang Wushang doesn't know whether to worry about it.

He was a puppet in Xuanfu Town. He did whatever Liu Jin asked him to do. His main task now is to help Liu Jin make money, and to entertain the envoys sent by Liu Jin that made him disgusted. He was troubled every day.

This time, Zhang Wenmian did not call Hu Ruli, because Hu Ruli was managing the military farm and was not in Xuanfu Town at all.

In order to seek stability, Yang Wu brought his aide Wen Xiangjin with him, but when he arrived at his own territory in the backyard of the governor's yamen, Wen Xiangjin was stopped by Jiang Liwei and asked Yang Wu to go in alone to meet Zhang Wenmian.

Yang Wu felt very uncomfortable.

I am a good wine and food to entertain you, and I even rack my brains to find women for you every day. You live a life like a god, but now I am actually blocking my people in my territory, but I still have to wag my tail like a pug...

Although Zhang Wenmian was very smart, his human relationships were still a little bad. He looked down on civil servants like Yang Wu who studied hard. He believed that Confucian scholars who passed the imperial examinations had their brains rusted by the Four Books and Five Classics. They were pedantic and uncommon, and they were not as good as those of him who could learn and apply them.

This is also because he doesn't care what he has to do. Although Zhang Wenmian is valued by Liu Jin, he is always just a scholar. There is a huge gap between him and a juren who just takes out a sesame official in the officialdom. He can only use his arrogance to hide his lack of confidence.

"...Mr. Yang, this time I came to you to tell you something serious. I hope you can cooperate." Zhang Wenmian came up and showed off his high attitude as Liu Jin's spokesperson, making a slight tone.

Yang Wu had to whisper and asked: "I don't know why?"

Zhang Wenmian showed a fierce look on his face and said, "Kill Shen Zhihou!"

"ah!"

This was too straightforward, which scared Yang Wu. He thought to himself, I knew your purpose before you came, but you have been in Xuanfu for two or three months and have not seen any movement. I thought this matter was gone, so why did the old thing be brought up again now?

Yang Wu's face looked a little ugly, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Wenmian head-on, and said stutteringly: "This... assassination of the imperial court's official is not a trivial matter... It's better to find a way to list the crimes and let the imperial court issue an order to kill them!"

Zhang Wenmian sneered: "Shen Zhihou is the imperial stern rank of the young master. He has a great position in the court. His Majesty is very favored. Even if he has committed a traitor in the court, His Majesty does not blame him too much. He just asked him to go to the governor of Xuanfu and handle military affairs and food and money... What kind of crime do you think you can make him die without a place to die?"

Yang Wu was speechless. In his opinion, whether Chen Xi died or not, it would be better if the matter had nothing to do with me.

If you want to assassinate me, you can go there. At most I will be demoted... I hope Liu Jin can recite my good deeds and transfer me to the capital to serve as a member of the government.

Yang Wu asked: "I wonder what help can I help you?"

Yang Wu stared at Jiang Liwei and said this. He believed that Jiang Liwei, as the Jinyiwei, should have come to perform the assassination mission. As for Zhang Wenmian, was only responsible for making money by talking.

In fact, Jiang Liwei doesn’t have much say. In front of Zhang Wenmian, he is just an empty affair, and everything needs to be decided by Zhang Wenmian.

Zhang Wenmian said: "It's very simple. It's not necessary to host a banquet to entertain Chen's surname... the governor's yamen. If something happens, Lord Yang will not explain to the court. The restaurant outside can be done. When Shen Zhihou has enough wine and food, he will have something on his way back. It's impossible for others to blame. Anyway, the government and the public know that the people in Xuanfu have been in chaos recently. Perhaps because Chen's troops were led to quell the rebellion, some people are dissatisfied with revenge on him?"

Yang Wu smiled and said, "This plan is very good... It's just that every time Shangshu Chen goes on a trip, he has many followers around him. I'm afraid it's not easy to start, right?"

"Press up, you obviously don't want to help!" Jiang Liwei shouted.

Hearing this, Yang Wu felt even more unhappy.

It would be fine if I was taught a lesson by Liu Jin's disciples. Who said he was Liu Jin's counselor, who was responsible for giving advice to Liu Jin. If he offended him for a few slander, I might lose my official position. But what is Jiang Moure? He is just a fifth-rank general. When he was placed in the late emperor, he didn't even dare to breathe. Now, the fox is pretending to be a tiger's power in front of me!

Yang Wu looked bad: "The ones who should be gang will naturally help, but they have to think about the difficulties in advance and how to transfer the followers around Shangshu Chen!"

Zhang Wenmian was full of confidence: "I will arrange everything. You just need to hold a banquet and lead the snake out of the hole... He usually hides in the Governor's Mansion, and it is really hard to get started. After arriving in Xuanfu Town, this person is like a turtle with his head, and even loses his courage to implement reforms before... This shows that he is afraid!"

“Yes, yes!”

Yang Wu responded twice, not thinking about how to help Zhang Wenmian complete the task, but thinking about how to keep it alone. He continued to ask, "Is there nothing else?"

Zhang Wenmian smiled and said, "There is also...that involves my brother returning to the court. I stayed in Xuanfu for a long time, and my father-in-law's errands were all done except killing Shen Zhihou. Lord Yang worked hard and made great contributions. After I returned, I would naturally give a good word to my father-in-law and let him praise you!"

Hearing this, Yang Wu felt a little relieved and smiled, "Where are things, they are all for their father-in-law, how dare they take credit?"

Zhang Wenmian nodded and said, "As for leaving, Lord Yang needs to make good arrangements..."

Although Yang Wu still had a smile on his face, he started scolding again... He said what arrangements he had, but he just asked me for money again? But when he thought of sending Zhang Wenmian and Jiang Liwei away earlier, he felt a little relieved.

"Alas, as a governor, not only is there a governor above who is a ruthless person who has been brought down from the court and dare not provoke him, but there are still people here pointing fingers. It seems that I am a servant who is responsible for doing odd jobs. It's so frustrating!"

After Yang Wu finished whispering in his heart, he gave a deep bow: "I'll take my leave if I have nothing to do!"

Zhang Wenmian waved his hand with a smile, and did not make any attempt to keep Yang Wu away.

When Yang Wu left the door, Jiang Liweicai asked in surprise: "Don't you tell him about Ningxia Town?"

"It's really unnecessary to tell him this... This person will not be at ease to do things for his father-in-law, and he can't rely too much on things if he has something!" Zhang Wenmian turned cold, "We still have to do some things ourselves to be worthy of his father-in-law's cultivation!"

...

...

Chen Xi had already foresaw the crisis in Ningxia Town.

Not only because Ningxia Town is the fief of King Anhua, who has been rebellious for a long time, but also because Ningxia Town is high and the emperor is far away, the local officials here hold heavy power, so it is difficult for the imperial court to supervise it.

After Liu Jin abducted power, he sent many close friends to the nine borders, which seemed to suppress the influence of the old forces in the local area, but in fact the most fundamental reason was that Liu Jin wanted to establish a mixed network of relationships among the border troops. These people went to the local government to help Liu Jin make money while controlling the army and strengthening the momentum of the eunuch party.

Liu Jin never expected that in addition to lacking abilities, his men were also lustful people.

Because the rebellion in Ningxia Town had not yet occurred, there were only some secret rumors, and even no one was rebelling, Chen Xi would not react to this matter.

After all, that is what the three-sided governor wants to take charge. As the commander of Xuanfu and Datong, he cannot decide on the three-sided affairs. Once war breaks out, according to the rules of the Hongzhi Dynasty, he will still be subject to the three-sided governor.

Just at this moment, Yang Wu, the governor of Xuanfu, sent an invitation to Chen Xi, inviting Chen Xi to Songfeng Tower in the city for a banquet.

"...Shangshu Chen, my master said that this time I still don't invite outsiders, just discuss some things in private. If there is any inconvenience, please explain in advance. My master is ready!"

Wen Xiangjin was originally responsible for entertaining Zhang Wenmian and Jiang Liwei, but after Hu Ruli came to Xuanfu, Yang Wu did not dare to let too many people know that he was accomplice of the eunuch party, and he was even more unwilling to let these people come to Xuanfu to spread the issue of assassinating Chen Xi, so he simply asked Wen Xiangjin to take care of Hu Ruli's responsibilities. In this way, Wen Xiangjin's status was improved.

This time, Wen Xiangjin came to invite Chen Xi. He had met Chen Xi before, so it would not seem too abrupt.

Chen Xi asked Wen Xiangjin to leave the invitation, but he sent him away without even looking at it.

After the people left, Wang Lingzhi and Zhu Qi entered the conference hall. Wang Lingzhi asked, "Sir, the governor invites you to pass by the mansion? When? We can also prepare security in advance!"

"There is no good banquet, why do you have to go?" Chen Xi shook his head, "I don't plan to go to the banquet this time."

Wang Lingzhi didn't quite understand what Chen Xi meant, so he blinked. Fortunately, he was smart now and would not rashly climb to Chen Xi. Many times he knew that silence was golden.

Chen Xi walked to the sand table in the conference hall, looking lazy: "Why, have you trained soldiers today?"

Zhu Qi said: "If you go back to the emperor, the troops have returned to the camp, and they should be useful at critical moments, but the firearms are a little short of enough, and the ammunition is also relatively scarce."

“No obstacle.”

Chenxidao, "If you have such a passerby, practice to make up the numbers first. I will gradually replenish guns and ammunition in the future. As the Governor of Xuanda, I always need some people under my command. I may have to add training content in a few days... You must take responsibility!"

Wang Lingzhi frowned: "Sir, don't worry about these monkeys, right? Even the ready-made things are enough for them to learn, so why bother with extravagance?"

Chen Xi said angrily: "What, do you have any objections? Put away your arrogance, sticking to the rules will only make your mind rigid. You should think about the new tactics and see what weather the various troops are in and what terrain they can achieve their maximum power. Don't just fight bravely... Remember to ask any questions at any time, you can go down first!"
