Chapter 149 Who is going to rebel?
"Of course you listen to me!"
Ling Mo answered without hesitation, "The military token is in my hand!"
In fact, the prefect and the general are not on the same system.
The prefect was a civil official, and the commander was a military officer, both of whom were directly appointed by the imperial court.
However, the situation on the border is different. The authority of the King of Zhenxi here is even stronger than that of the imperial court!
Whoever the King of Zhenxi appoints as the prefect can be the prefect, and whoever he tells to get out has to get out.
As a provincial governor, he has this right.
But then again, this is also the reason why the empress of the court gave up power.
The empress trusted the Prince of Zhenxi very much.
If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have given him an army of hundreds of thousands to guard the border fortress!
Therefore, strictly speaking, Prefect Zhang Tao and Ling Mo are both people of the imperial court, but they are also people of the King of Zhenxi.
And Zhang Tao is Ling Mo's boss.
That's why Chen Xuan asked his soldiers whether they should listen to him or Zhang Tao.
In fact, he neither listened to Ling Mo nor Zhang Tao, but listened to Hu Fu!
The tiger talisman of the Barbarian City soldiers is in Ling Mo's hands!
"Very good, then you go and mobilize the troops now, surround the prefectural government, the Chen residence, and the Qin residence. Tonight, I will change the sky of Barbarian City!"
Chen Xuan's eyes flickered. He had made up his mind that if he was going to do it, he was going to do it big!
"Are you going to do it now?"
Ling Mo was a little stunned.
He originally thought that Chen Xuan would endure for a while and secretly develop his own power.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan couldn't bear it at all!
I’m going to fuck the prefect tonight!
"Of course, I have you under my command, and you have eight thousand soldiers. Why should I endure it?"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, his face full of confidence.
Tonight, he will capture his first city!
However, Ling Mo hesitated and said in a deep voice, "It's easy to take over the prefectural governor's mansion, but if the news leaks out, whether it reaches the imperial court or the King of Zhenxi, we will all be labeled traitors."
"By then, the King of Zhenxi will definitely send troops to attack us."
"Our base is only this small barbarian city, which can't withstand the army of the King of Zhenxi!"
He was worried that he would be labeled a traitor.
Chen Xuan suddenly showed a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but said: "We are just controlling the prefectural government, not rebelling."
"Barbarian City. It's the barbarian city of the Daqian Dynasty, the barbarian city of the King of Zhenxi!"
"We are all citizens of the Daqian Dynasty. We do whatever the court tells us to do. Why would the court punish us for no reason?"
Hearing this, Ling Mo was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Aren't you going to rebel?"
Chen Xuan looked puzzled. "Who said I was going to rebel? I was just cleaning up a bad guy, a corrupt official who exploited the people!"
"Anyway, let's not tell anyone yet. The imperial court and the King of Zhenxi don't know either, but there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. They'll find out sooner or later."
"So what if we know? We just need to be loyal to the court. The court wants capable people who can help them get things done, not idiots like Zhang Tao who just sit there and do nothing for their position."
"Besides, I'm not going to kill Zhang Tao, nor am I going to be the governor."
"If the court really asks about this, just say that it was you, Ling Mo, who couldn't stand Zhang Tao's oppression of the people, so you joined forces with me to suppress Zhang Tao."
"During this period of time, I will manage Barbarian City well and give it a new lease of life."
"The court has seen my abilities. Not only will they not hold me accountable, but they should reward me. Maybe they'll even give me the position of Governor of Mancheng."
Chen Xuan laughed as he spoke.
He discovered that Ling Mo had a very serious misunderstanding, which was that he mistakenly thought that Chen Xuan was going to rebel.
Little did they know that Chen Xuan must be out of his mind to do such a thing.
He has no one to help him and no money to support him. Isn't it nice for him to rely on the court for his food?
"you……"
Ling Mo's eyes gradually widened, and suddenly he felt enlightened.
The reason why he joined Chen Xuan was that he hesitated for several days and couldn't make up his mind.
Isn't it because I subconsciously put Chen Xuan in the ranks of ***?
It turns out now that Chen Xuan is not a *** at all!
Damn it, he is a loyal and patriotic Daqian patriot!
Even Li Xiuning and the others were stunned.
Because their previous thoughts were almost exactly the same as Ling Mo's.
When Chen Xuan arrived in Mancheng, he opposed the prefect. Isn't this a manifestation of his dissatisfaction with the court?
"Ling Mo, you don't think that because I'm dealing with the prefect Zhang Tao, I'm someone who wants to rebel, do you? Then I can only say that you think too much. Zhang Tao cannot represent the court."
Chen Xuan shook his head. "Besides, compared to the imperial court, my current abilities are nothing compared to the bright moon and fireflies. Only someone with a brain kicked by a donkey would go against the imperial court."
"I only go against those who go against me!"
"To put it bluntly, if Zhang Tao doesn't provoke me, I will guard my own little piece of land and won't touch him. In fact, if we like each other, we will even cooperate with each other."
"What a shame, what a shame. He insists on going against me, so I have no choice but to deal with him."
In fact, according to Chen Xuan's original plan, after arriving in Mancheng, he would get along well with the Chen family, grow up slowly, have a wife and children, and make steady progress.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Mancheng, the Chen family gave him a hard time.
After that, a series of events happened, which directly disrupted Chen Xuan's plans.
In addition, there was chaos in the Barbarian City and the people were living in dire straits, so Chen Xuan decided to take action against Zhang Tao.
If he wants to transform the Barbarian City, he must obtain absolute power.
And this right is only possessed by the prefect. What if he doesn't give it to us?
Then we can only rob it!
"I see."
Ling Mo felt secretly ashamed.
Because Chen Xuan had asked him to surrender before, Ling Mo always regarded Chen Xuan as the kind of person who wanted to rebel.
If Chen Xuan had not given Ling Mo so much that he was tempted, he would have reported it to the King of Zhennan long ago.
Now that he knew that Chen Xuan had no intention of rebelling, he realized that he had been overthinking it.
Little did they know that for Chen Xuan, the reason he had no intention of rebelling was simply because he lacked the strength to do such a thing in vain.
If he had hundreds of thousands of troops...
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and do as I just ordered. Take control of the prefectural government, the Qin family, and the Chen family. Bring them all to the prefectural government and wait for my trial."
Chen Xuan smiled and spoke.
Ling Mo nodded and said, "It takes time to mobilize the troops. Give me an hour. After an hour, you will come directly to the prefectural governor's mansion!"
After saying that, he left directly. He came in by climbing over the wall, and left through the main gate in broad daylight.
