After Mo Gusheng led the people away, an official asked Xue Jingxian: "Sir, Gu Mosheng is just a small servant of the sixth rank, and you are a dignified fourth-rank official.
Do you need to be so polite to him?"
His voice sounded arrogant, and the subordinates felt unhappy when they saw him like that."
An official next to him echoed: "Yes, isn't your lord just a censor?
Why are you trying to embarrass your lord?
We don't need to be afraid of him."
Xue Jingxian shook his head and said: "You don't understand.
This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not.
Today is different from the past.
The imperial court is vigorously rectifying the administration of officials.
Judging from the various measures and implementation efforts of the imperial court, this time it is very determined.
Our man The regent is not so easy to fool.
He said that if he wants to rectify the officialdom, he must rectify it to the end.
He will persist in it.
Now the Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple are the former Qingshui Temple.
In the blink of an eye, the yamen has become a popular yamen, and there is no benefit in quarreling with the people in these yamen.
Although I am an honest official and not corrupt, in officialdom, things will go smoothly unless you are honest.
Someone wants to harm you, deliberately mess with you, and can just fabricate something and put you in jail.
It is better to have a good relationship with these people than to offend them."
An official was very confused and asked: "Sir, do you think that the regent's storm to rectify the government was not just a whim?
This storm will not be a gust of wind, just wait for it to pass, but will continue to blow."
Xue Jingxian nodded and said: "It's very possible."
Another official said: "If this storm continues to blow, won't there be no peace in the officialdom and everyone will be in danger.
Who will have the mind to deal with government affairs in the future?"
Xue Jingxian smiled slightly, turned to look at the official who spoke and asked, "If you are an upright and upright official with clean hands and feet, don't worry that the Yushitai will come to you for no reason."
"Uh, this" Five days later, another team came from the direction of Xichuan.
It was a caravan with a large number of people, more than 200 people.
The new Xichuan Jiedushi Jiedu disguised himself as the captain of the caravan guard.
Some time ago, he After receiving a letter from Cui Yuan, Cui Yuan asked him to go to Beijing to discuss important matters.
He thought that Cui Yuan had However, he secretly sent someone to deliver the letter.
The matter to be discussed must be a big one.
After careful consideration, he decided to dress up as a caravan and go to Chang'an to meet Cui Yuan secretly.
But what he didn't expect was that Cui Yuan wanted to save the Cui family.
He was betrayed, and he was tricked out of Xichuan by Cui Yuan.
In a small courtyard in Hanzhong City, Gu Mosheng was busy writing a report to Wu Sun, the censor Zhongcheng, on the detailed process of arresting Du Hongjian and Han Cheng and the interrogation situation.
At this time, a pavilion chief came over and clasped his fists and said: " Sir, people are coming.”
Gu Mosheng immediately put down his brush, stood up and walked towards the main door.
A woodcutter wearing gray clothes and a bamboo hat came in and said to Gu Mosheng, "Master Gu" Gu Mosheng returned the greeting and asked, "Your Excellency is the person sent by General Xuan."
"It was a certain family who came here to inform Mr.
Gu that a caravan had arrived fifty miles to the south.
All the people in this caravan were dressed as soldiers of Ji'an.
Ji'an himself was among them, dressed as a merchant.
Captain of the team's escort" Gu Mo said in shock: "This is too bold."
The woodcutter in gray clasped his fists and said: "The news has been brought.
I still have something to do.

Before I leave, I would like to remind Mr.
Gu that you only have one chance.
If you are forced to flee back to Xichuan, the consequences will be disastrous."
Gu Mosheng looked solemn and cupped his hands: "Gu knows the importance.
Thank you for the reminder, strong man.
It's easy for you to go."
After seeing off the spies who reported the news, Gu Mosheng immediately came to the Liangzhou Military Envoy's Yamen to ask for an audience with the Military Envoy Guo Yingqian.
Guo Yingqian was Guo Ying's younger brother.
He had always been worried about the incident of urging him to kill his brother Guo Ying, and he often thought about it.
He wanted to seek revenge, but he always had no chance.
"What did you say?
Ji Rui and more than 200 people disguised as a caravan have arrived outside the south gate and are preparing to go to Chang'an secretly."
Guo Yingqian was shocked after hearing Gu Mosheng's words.
Gu Mosheng took out an edict: "Yes, I came here this time to ask the general to borrow troops to surround Ji Yuan and other subordinates.
This is an edict from the Regent's Palace.
I have an important mission here.
In addition to In addition to arresting Du Hongjian and Han Cheng, We also need to bring the traitor Ji Ni back to Chang'an for trial.
According to the edict of the regent, I have the right to recruit the general's troops and horses.
Please cooperate with me.
This matter is of great importance.
I also ask the general to quickly order troops to surround Ji Ni.
The caravan will never let anyone go."
Hearing this, Guo Yingqian raised his head and looked in the direction of the south city gate and said coldly: "Huh, hello, you too will have this day."
After speaking, Guo Yingqian said to Gu Mosheng: "Don't worry, Lord Gu, I will immediately order troops to surround the caravan."
"Wait a minute."
Gu Mosheng grabbed Guo Yingqian's sleeve and said sternly: "General Guo, I know that your brother Guo Ying's death is not unrelated to Ji Yuan, but Ji Yuan is a rebellious minister and a repeat offender of the imperial court.
To show him the canon I hope that the general will not act on his own initiative.
It is absolutely not advisable to take revenge on him after catching him.
If the general really does this and returns and causes the evil deeds he has done, he will be punished by the court's laws. he" Guo Yingqian gasped and clenched his fists.
After all, he was no match for Gu Mosheng's righteous gaze.
He calmed down and said, "Okay, I believe that the court will punish him in accordance with the law."
In the afternoon, the rushing caravan arrived outside Hanzhong City, but did not enter the city.
They found an open space to camp outside the city and prepared to spend the night here.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
The cost of entering the city for large caravans is too high. , everyone must collect a city gate tax.
If the entire caravan passes through any city and enters the city, then this business will probably not make much money.
Generally, large caravans camp outside the city and send people into the city.
Purchase daily necessities for supplies.
Before Ji Yu and others had completely set up the camp, Guo Yingqian led a large group of soldiers and horses to surround them from both sides.
It was too late for them to run away at this time, and they were soon surrounded by Guo Yingqian and his troops.
The caravan steward came out to negotiate with Guo Yinggan: "General, I don't know why you brought your troops here and why you surrounded us and other merchants."
Guo Yingqian ignored him and waved his hand, and a large number of archers aimed their bows and arrows at Jieyun and his soldiers.
Although they had fought many battles, Jieyong's soldiers were also very scared at this time.
One by one, holding weapons, they looked at the troops surrounding them in panic.
Guo Yingqian shouted loudly to the caravan: "Excuse me, you are not a hero if you hide your head and shrink your tail.

Now, if you think you can still escape, why don't you come out and see me?"
After a while, Ji Yan, dressed as a guard captain, came out with a sword and asked: "Guo Yingqian, how did you know that I was in this caravan?"
"Hahaha" Guo Yingqian laughed, "Ji Nie, you think that if you are hiding in Xichuan, the court will really be unable to do anything to you.
You think that if you gather some soldiers and horses to rebel and bring disaster to Shu, the court will not be able to cure you.
You are so naive. .
Today, even if you are the reincarnation of a god, you can’t escape with your wings.
Please tell your people to put down their weapons.
Why increase casualties in vain?”
Jiu Meng knew that this situation had reached a dead end and there was no possibility of escape.
He was immediately discouraged, but he did not want to fall into the hands of Guo Yingqian and be killed by Guo Yingqian.
He raised the sword and put it on his neck, and was immediately provoked.
The soldiers around him exclaimed: "General, no!"
He shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons.
At this point, it's enough for me to die.
How can I bear to let you follow me and die in vain?
Put down your weapons.
The person Guo Yingqian wants to kill is me.
It has nothing to do with you.
I Order you to lay down your weapons."
After hearing this, the soldiers hesitated for a while and then all dropped their weapons.
Ji Nie then said loudly to Guo Yingqian: "Guo, I, Mr.
Cui, would rather die in my own hands than be tortured to death by you."
A loud shout of "Wait a minute" came from behind Guo Yingqian, and Gu Mosheng was seen leading the officials from the Yushitai through the gap between the soldiers and walked to the inner circle.
Gu Mosheng said to Ji Yun: "Cui Yun, you gathered a crowd to rebel and bring trouble to Xichuan, causing countless people in Xichuan to die in the war.
Isn't it too cheap for you to just die like this?"
Cui Yan was furious when he heard this: "Oh no, I want to die and it's none of your business.
Where the hell did you come from?"
Gu Mosheng cupped his hands and said: "I, the Censor Gu Mosheng, the Censor of Taiyuan, have been ordered to arrest you and bring you back to the capital for trial."
Cui Yuan's expression changed and he asked: "How did you know that I would be here?"
"Nothing to say Cui Yuan, go back to Chang'an with me.
You can't just die like this.
Don't you want to see Cui Yuan again?"
Cui Yuan's expression changed again, and he said with a ferocious face: "Cui Yuan is right, it must be Cui Yuan, it must be him, an old thief, who betrayed me, otherwise you wouldn't have known that I would appear here."
Gu Mosheng waved to Cui Yuan, and the government officials walked over with weapons, took away his sword, and put shackles on him.
February 12, Prince Regent's Palace.
Gao Shang found Zhao Ziliang and reported: "Your Majesty, Du Hongjian, Han Cheng and Cui Yun have been captured and are currently being taken to the city.
The latest news shows that they have passed the Dashan Pass.
In addition, Wang Sili has assembled Dongchuan soldiers.
When the horse marched into Xichuan, everyone in Xichuan was frightened and did not dare to act rashly.
Many officials and generals began to contact Wang Sili and express their loyalty to the court.
The situation in Xichuan stabilized."
"Okay."
Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and stood up.
He was extremely excited.
He transferred Dongchuan's soldiers and horses to Xichuan to intimidate the generals from all over Xichuan.

After being arrested on the same day, Xichuan was now leaderless and panicked, while Dongchuan The soldiers and horses are all in Xichuan, so it is the best time to cut down the vassalage of Jiannan Road.
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Immediately summon all the ministers to discuss the matter of reducing the vassal status of Jiannan Road.
This matter cannot be delayed."
"Yes, I will send someone to inform you immediately":
