Chapter 583: Yuyang Incident (Part 2)
All the guests in the hall couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded for a moment. They looked at Jiang Xinliang standing at the door holding a knife, but Jiang Dawei was furious and started to slap the table.
"You don't know etiquette, you are so arrogant when the elders are here!"
Jiang Xinliang smiled and said: "I was rude, uncles. Xinliang is here to apologize to everyone." He smiled and clasped his fists, and bowed to everyone in the hall.
Already aware that something was wrong, he stood up involuntarily, with a look of fear on his face. Fang Huiping, the governor of Jiuyuan County, turned pale. He was just looking at Jiang Dawei from where he was sitting.
Only Jiang Dawei, perhaps because he has been nostalgic for the back house in the past two years, lost his mind due to wine and sex, or maybe he has looked down on this eldest son since he was a child. He didn't even think of going anywhere else. He just stared and shouted: "I am your brother today." A hundred days of great joy, you are wearing a military uniform, armor and a sword, you are not afraid of bringing in the evil spirit to scare your brother, get out. "
Jiang Xinliang looked at his ferocious-faced father and sneered: "So my father still knows that I am your son, but have you ever asked your only eldest son if he has any objections to your remarriage? Today, my brother is celebrating his 100th anniversary. My father is happy. Are you going to invite your children to have a wedding drink?”
Only then did Jiang Dawei realize that something was wrong. He subconsciously pressed his hand on his waist, but besides the jade pendant, there was also a sword. His expression couldn't help but change, "What do you want to do? It's not easy to have a wedding wine." Well? Go change your clothes and come to the hall to accompany your uncles."
Jiang Xinliang smiled slightly, strode over, looked at the people waiting for him, and said with a smile: "My father and I have something to say. Uncles, please do it yourself. I won't stay with you. I will hold a banquet for you another day." Accompany the guilt!”
At this time, everyone in the hall didn't know that father and son were turning against each other. Everyone was sweating profusely and their faces were pale, fearing that they would suffer disaster. As soon as Jiang Xinliang said these words, everyone stood up like a monk, "This way I won't bother you anymore. Farewell, farewell."
In the blink of an eye, all the guests were gone. Just as soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw groups of soldiers standing with guns and knives and trembling individual guests in the courtyard. They all swallowed dryly and walked consciously to the surrounded guests without saying hello. between.
Only Jiang Dawei, his son and Fang Huiping were left in the house.
"Boy, do you want to rebel?" Jiang Dawei calmed down at this time and sat down steadily. He reached out to pick up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, "I didn't expect that you have become more capable? I underestimated you, just because you dare to do such a thing. It's not that you are without merit. Let it go honestly. Daozi, please give me an apology to Governor Fang. I will not pursue this matter for the sake of your bravery."
Jiang Xinliang laughed.
"Father, you haven't taken care of county governance seriously for about a year, right?"
"So what? There is no one in Yuyang County who was not promoted by me, Mr. Jiang. There is no one who is not my confidant, Mr. Jiang. How dare you, a little boy like you, dare to play the trick of mutiny? Believe me or not With just one word, the big soldiers following you will turn against you!" Jiang Dawei said proudly.
Jiang Xinliang looked at his father angrily and amusedly, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I want to give my father a chance to see if you are still powerful. Anyone who comes, please come in."
Outside the door, Yuyang Sima, Chang Shi and other civil and military officials at all levels, as well as county lieutenants, county soldiers and generals, filed in one by one. At the end, rows of soldiers walked into the house holding bright swords and guns. , divided into two parts: left and right.
"You, you..."
Looking at the group of civil and military officials who came in, Jiang Dawei's expression changed drastically. Judging from their appearance, they were all Jiang Xinliang's accomplices.
"Father, please give the order and see if they will turn against each other?" Jiang Xinliang smiled and looked at Jiang Dawei proudly.
"Su Likang, Chen Zhenqun, and Zeng Xianyi, I treat you well, but you dare to betray me?" Jiang Dajui finally changed his color, looked at the officials behind Jiang Xinliang, and roared.
These three people are Yuyang Sima, Chang Shi, and the commander of the soldiers guarding the county governor's mansion.
"County Governor, the general trend is general. Su did not dare to follow the Sheriff's path to the dark side. In the end, his family was confiscated and his family was exterminated. I'm sorry." Su Likang bowed and said.
"Chief Commander, the eldest son is wise and powerful. When we follow him, aren't we also loyal to the Jiang family? How can we talk about betrayal?" Chen Zhenqun didn't care.
However, Zeng Xianyi stood up with his sword in hand and said loudly: "County Governor, my mistress has been very kind to Zeng. Now that the county guard has a new person, he has forgotten the old one and treats the eldest son lightly. Zeng swallows his anger just for the sake of the eldest son one day." Zeng is very happy that the eldest son has changed his mind and fulfilled his mistress's wishes before her death. The county governor, the civil and military officials of Yuyang County, and tens of thousands of county soldiers have all sworn allegiance to the eldest son. You still have to give up. Bar!"
Listening to Zeng Xianyi's words, Jiang Dawei's face suddenly turned pale. The Jiuyuan County Sheriff on the side was even more sifted with chaff, thinking he had found a backer, but he had no idea that he had fallen into a trap.
Jiang Xinliang looked at the two of them and sneered.
"Are you going to kill your father?" Jiang Dawei said feebly.
"Father, what are you talking about?" Jiang Xinliang looked at his frustrated father and shook his head: "Although my father doesn't want to see his son, he is his father after all. The son has already found another house for his father to live in. , from now on, my father does not have to worry about the affairs of Yuyang County. In the past year or so, my father has not paid much attention to the affairs of Yuyang County. He might as well just pile them all up and leave them to his son. Naturally, his son will not I will live up to my father’s earnest hopes.”
"What about your second mother-in-law?"
"The father likes Er Niang so much, so the son will naturally ask Er Niang to accompany his father, but what about the younger brother? From now on, the son will take care of his upbringing. The father and Er Niang can rest in peace, enjoy flowers, fish, and play the harp and harp. If they want to go out, Let's go, my son will send someone to escort you, and I will definitely not wrong you two."
Jiang Dawei raised his head in horror, "That's your brother, it's only a hundred days old. You, how can you be so cruel..."
Jiang Xinliang sneered and turned to look at Zeng Xianyi, "Uncle Zeng!"
Zeng Xian nodded knowingly, waved his hand, and several soldiers came over, picked up Jiang Dawei and left.
Jiang Xinliang watched his father being carried out of the hall. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then returned to normal. He turned around, walked to the table, sat down slowly, and looked at the ashen-faced Jiuyuan County Sheriff Fang Huiping opposite him. .
"Chief Fang, I think we need to have a serious talk!" Jiang Xinliang said slowly.
"Good nephew, I have something to say, I have something to say!" Fang Huiping looked at Jiang Xinliang flatteringly.
Jiang Xinliang smiled. If we were to talk about seniority seriously, Sheriff Fang was two generations senior to him. At this time, he was so arrogant that he called his nephew.
When the news of the Yuyang Incident reached Gao Yuan's ears, it was only a dozen days later. Gao Yuan happened to be on patrol in Hejian County, accompanied by Wu Cian, the governor of Hejian County, and Ye Zhen, the commander of the Southern Field Army. Under this, Gao Yuan visited almost all the important towns in Hejian County. As soon as he returned to the county town, news came that Jiang Xinliang of Yuyang launched a mutiny, imprisoned his father, and seized the power of Yuyang County.
What is intriguing is that almost two days after Jiang Xinliang obtained the power of Yuyang County, King Ji Ling of Yan issued a royal order in the capital of Jicheng, recognizing Jiang Xinliang's legal status, and at the same time appointed Jiang Xinliang as the general of Yan Guo Zhenxi.
"If there is no involvement of Zhou Yu and Tan Feng in this matter, I really don't believe it!" Gao Yuan waved the information in his hand and said to Jiang Jiaquan who accompanied him for inspection, "I didn't expect that Jiang Dawei, who had been brilliant for half his life, would eventually fall to him. There is no room for improvement in the hands of the most despised son."
Putting down the report in his hand with a sigh, Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "I can't tell that Jiang Xinliang is also ruthless. He even harmed his half-brother who was less than a hundred days old."
"Jiang Xinliang is not necessarily smart or talented. He just didn't realize it before. Now that he has risen strongly, and with the support of Zhou Yu and Tan Feng behind him, I am afraid that Hejian County will be uneasy from now on. "Jiang Jiaquan frowned.
Ye Zhen sneered, "Although the Southern Field Army is still just an empty frame, in the past six months, I have trained three thousand elites. If Jiang Xinliang really dares to invade our Hejian County, let him know what real war is. Governors and governors can rest assured, as long as I, Ye Zhen, are here in Hejian, Jiang Xinliang will not be able to step out of his way."
Gao Yuan nodded, "Although I say so, Yuyang County is strong and has tens of thousands of troops, and our main enemies now are the Donghu people. If we can avoid them, we will not mess with them. Mr. Jiang, please arrange For a moment, I want to meet Jiang Xinliang. Maybe the two sides can sit down and have a good talk, and maybe we can get a win-win situation, what do you think? "
"This matter must be extremely difficult!" Wu Cian shook his head and said: "Jiang Xinliang took over the post of General Zhenxi. Yuyang has already made it clear that he has thrown himself into the arms of the imperial court. It will only be a matter of time before the imperial court takes back Yuyang and changes it to a county. Among them, "Jiang Xinliang must have benefited greatly. It's a time of peace between him and the court. Are you willing to negotiate with us?"
"It's not that complicated!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Yuyang may be restructured, but Jiang Xinliang will never let go of the army. The final result is that Yuyang is restructured and the court takes it back, but Jiang Xinliang is still guarding it, and all the Yuyang County soldiers The expenses were also paid by the restructured Yuyang County. In fact, the imperial court only had one name. Jiang Xinliang had the final say in Yuyang County. Jiang Xinliang must have understood that he relied on the tens of thousands of county soldiers in his hands. Therefore, the negotiation was still over. Some talk.”
"The Governor is right, I will arrange this!" Jiang Jiaquan pondered for a moment, "Based on my old relationship with him, even if we don't get any results from our meeting, we won't fall out on the spot." (To be continued...)
