In the Jinyuwei Camp, Chen Shou was watching them practice.

"Li Xin was in Datong, blocking the Mongols' three attacks, and now she has started to counterattack."

Huang Zhen held up a letter of victory and shouted with a smile. He was an old man in his sixties and ran away, making the people around him very worried.

Chen Shou clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Li Xin did not disappoint me."

Chen Shou did trust him very much, and even at this time, he transferred the troops from Bianliang to Wuqing County to suppress the bandits.

Although it was to take over the Daming Mansion, if he didn't trust Li Xin so much, he wouldn't dare to take this risk.

"Old Huang, be careful. At such an old age, you are just unstable." Chen Shou said with a smile.

Chen Shou had known the battle report for a long time, so he was so calm and composed. Before the two of them were happy, they rushed out from outside.

When he arrived at the stage, the knight on the horse was on his back turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the governor of Shandong sent memorials for help. Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Jeju and Bazhou also started the White Lotus Sect. The bandits broke the prefectures and counties, slaughtered officials, and encircled the people. The situation was no longer under control."

"Here you!" Chen Shou's face turned from sunny to darkness, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fists were clenched.

"Let's go and see your Majesty!"

In the palace, Zhao Cai felt a little guilty when he saw Chen Shou.

This time, the Zhongyong Hou not only came by himself, but also brought several important officials in the court.

Looking at this, did you find that I was losing my ambition?

Chen Shou looked at the emperor's vulgar appearance and stepped forward and fisted, "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect has caused chaos in Shandong, conquered four prefectures in a row, killed hundreds of ten officials in our Daqi, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced."

When Zhao Cai heard this, he slapped the table and said, "It's the White Lotus Sect again!"

After all, he was a young man and was not afraid. He shouted: "Come here, I'll order the Ministry of War to command the emperor to personally expedition and completely eliminate the White Lotus Sect!"

The officials present looked at each other in surprise, and Chen Shou was also startled by him and went forward and said, "Your Majesty's body of a thousand gold and a noble of ten thousand chariots, how can you personally lead the army to sect bandits? I have recommended the Imperial Army General Zhang Zhengyuan as the main general, and Liang Zhongqiu, the general of Daming Prefecture, to go to Shandong to suppress the rebellion."

"Accurate."

---

Almost at the same time, the messenger from Lianghuai was also on the way.

The White Lotus Sect also broke out in the Qinlong area, and the Hebei area was in a hurry.

One day, the memorials for help flew into the palace like snowflakes. The powerful people from all over the country used the excuse of suppressing bandits and saving themselves and began to recruit troops.

This was something Chen Shou expected, and he was unable to control it. Sooner or later, these people would recruit their own troops, otherwise the wealth they accumulated would become the military pay of others.

This is the case in troubled times. Whoever has soldiers has the power to live and who can protect his family business.

Otherwise, the richer the person dies faster and the more miserable he dies.

The little emperor did not know the depth and agreed to Chen Shou's arrangement, making Zhang Zhengyuan the general and Liang Zhongqiu's deputy.

This gave Chen Shou a chance to let Liang Zhongqiu leave his nest. Once he refused to obey, he would be disrespectful.

If he led his troops out of Daming Mansion, it would be much easier to get rid of Liang Zhongqiu by taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of the soldiers of Daming Mansion.

You can also take the opportunity to copy his nest. Those who have been installed and bought before have become the key point at this time.

In Daming Mansion, there is a hidden courtyard.

The surrounding courtyard wall is three meters high, and even on a small building, you can't see the scene inside.

The door is heavily guarded, and ordinary people will be politely driven away when they approach.

There was a stone table in the yard, and there were several big men sitting around, all of them middle-aged. The small mud stove burned beside them was burning water, and they didn't even bring a maid. One of them picked up the pot and filled it one by one.

"Anyone who has a little knowledge of the situation now knows that troubled times have come. A wise ruler is needed in troubled times. Liang Zhongqiu is definitely not a wise ruler. If you follow him with one stubbornness, you will be destroyed by others at the earliest, so it is better to take the opportunity to change your family."

"Liang Zhongqiu is indeed incompetent, but who can we vote for?" asked a middle-aged scholar. If anyone is familiar with the officialdom of Daming Mansion, he can recognize him at a glance. This person is no one else, but Li Chengdong, the Daming Mansion's Secretariat.

Lord Silu didn't even wear any official uniforms, and his plain clothes looked more capable. The people around him were either military generals or civil officials, and they were all officials in important positions in Daming Mansion.

Daming Prefecture is different from other prefectures and counties. All its regulations are almost the same as Kaifeng Prefecture.

The officials included Mu, Yin, Shaoyin, Silu, Hucao, Facao, Shicao, Siji, and the military officers, as well as literature and assistant teachers. They also appointed Mu, and the official positions below Yin were held, which were the same as Kaifeng Prefecture.

Such places naturally have their own factions, and now the courtyard is a representative of the powerful people, local sages and gentry in Daming Mansion.

What Liang Zhongqiu trusted the most was a group of people he promoted himself. After Wei Yunse's death, Liang Zhongqiu lost his shackles and promoted a group of people very much. They had no background and could only rely on Liang Zhongqiu, so they were the most loyal to him.

There is another group of people, Wei Yunse's old subordinates, and behind these people is the Lianghuai Group. After Wei Yunse's death, these people were greatly hit and had not recovered. They were also in harmony with Liang Zhongqiu.

"You guys say, will this idiot go to Shandong to suppress bandits?" Li Qian, the defense envoy of Daming Mansion, said with a smile.

"Don't say it, it's really possible." Li Chengdong whispered: "I won't tell you empirical words. A few days ago, Wu Lin from Liaodong and Chen Shou from Kaifeng Prefecture both sent people to contact me and asked me to abandon Liang Zhongqiu and turn to them. The rewards they promised were more generous than the other, and in comparison, Wu Lin gave more. What do you think?"

"There are these two groups of people in my mansion, as well as Jiang Chucai from Hedong. Although Chen Shou gave the least, it is more trustworthy. I always feel that the other two are a bit weak." Li Qian said: "Chen Shou is closest to us, the key is that he is a newcomer. We have a lot of positions when we go to. The other two are already deeply rooted old vassal states, and the front positions are full, so how can we have a place."

"I mean that too, and don't forget that there is Xiliang behind Chen Shou."

Li Qian asked: "Will Xiliang support Chen Shou?"

Cui Yu, who had not spoken, smiled and said, "The relationship between the General's Mansion in the West and Chen Shou is probably even deeper than we know. Do you know that Chen Shou was not equipped with his own troops and seemed to have to transport food and supplies to Yingzhou without his life. If there had been a secret alliance, how could he be like this?"

Chen Shou never expected that his rare act of sacrificing his family for everyone was misunderstood by someone as Xiliang's covenant, which helped him a lot.
