Chapter 432: The Tao Family's Little Entanglement
Facing his nominal son-in-law, Yuanzhou Don't Drive Tao Jian is not as easy as it seems, although he already knows from the old lady of the Tao family that Lin Yue just sent Tao Qi to Butterfly Valley to learn art, and he himself has no intention of marrying a wife. But as a senior in officialdom, he is also a titular father-in-law. Tao Jian could have been tougher in front of Lin Yue.
However, Tao Jian put down the tea bowl and spoke: "This virtuous son-in-law ...... I heard that you are going to mobilize your troops......"
Lin Yue knew that he was not easy to speak, so he smiled and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a thing." ”
"Then I don't know if there is a court order?"
"Naturally, there is, otherwise how dare you transfer troops privately with 10,000 guts from your son-in-law?" Lin Yue smiled and played a spear. Both of them knew it in their hearts, but no one could say it directly.
"I don't know if I can show it so that I can arrange the scheduling. "The battle between the family forces of the third prince and the military forces of the fourth prince has been fully escalated, and the front foot is just about to edict the fourth prince to return to Beijing, and the soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou on the back foot have begun to move, and everyone knows that this place is unusual.
Tao Jian was really scared, don't look at the fact that he is not a driver in Yuanzhou on weekdays, and he is in charge of the allocation of money and grain in a state, as if he is in a high position, but now Lin Yue, who has a heavy army, can easily take himself, and then use the Tao family, which has the highest title in Yuanzhou, to start the knife. Taking a step back, Lin Yue is not embarrassed by the little affection between Lin Yue and the Tao family, but if Lin Yue is involved in it and fails, as his nominal father-in-law, he will definitely be implicated, even if the final winner can't destroy the Tao family, at least a compromise will be reached, and his second room will definitely be abandoned.
The best choice now is that Lin Yue can stand still and not participate on either side, so he can breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, his eldest brother has already set up a line with the capital, which means to persuade Lin Yue to take refuge in the third prince as much as possible, and the second thing is to hold his troops down, and Yuanzhou will restrain his actions again. And the worst option is for Yuanzhou Xungui to get rid of him.
His eldest brother sent himself just to touch Lin Yue's bottom, because they would never do it unless they had to, except for Lin Yue's unfathomable Taoist skills, the key was that the three thousand armor soldiers under him were not ambiguous, at least they looked useful.
Lin Yue said again: "This transfer of troops is a secret order, and it is not appropriate to preach it to the outside world. ”
"This ......" Tao Jian is a little sitting, although there is indeed a secret in the military, but it is better to communicate with some people, otherwise all the garrison troops will claim to have secret missions, and directly manage the local area to ask for money and food, and the local photos can not be asked, and there will be a lot of rebels in the world.
However, after making sure that Lin Yue didn't plan to explain to himself, Tao Jian changed the topic: "I don't know if the virtuous son-in-law has leisure today, the relatives of the clan came to Beijing, and they happened to meet each other and recognize the way." ”
"No, I'm about to go on an expedition, it's inconvenient to see my relatives and friends in the clan, and it's not too late to see you when I return triumphantly. ”
Tao Jian saw that Lin Yue didn't give him a chance, so he said a few more words and left, in fact, there were indeed relatives coming, and he was also the envoy of the third prince of Beijing, so he wanted to invite Lin Yue to the mansion in the name of the family banquet, and then talk about other details. Unexpectedly, Lin Yue didn't even give a few thin noodles.
After Tao Jian returned home, Tao Xiu, the eldest of the three brothers of the Tao family, and Tao Wei, the third brother, were there.
Tao Jian shook his head, and the boss Dingnan Gong Tao Xiu frowned: "Why?
In fact, Tao Jian didn't just go to treat him, but he also brought the conditions given by the third prince with him, adding two levels of officials, being promoted to the first class, and the title of real general. The fiefdom could be expanded to half of Anling County. This is already quite a generous condition.
Even the boss Tao Xiu also made a slight return with the envoy, the envoy guaranteed the rank of general of Siping and Sizhen, and the people of the Tao family also patted their chests and promised to persuade Lin Yue to surrender, now it seems that ......
Tao Wei said: "Big brother, it seems that this intestinal child is determined to do the right thing with the Third Highness." ”
The intestinal child is the nickname given to Lin Yue by the envoy from the capital, in the land of Qilu Lin Yue swept the face of the third prince, the third prince was very displeased with this, and the people around him who were sloppy and slapped horses were naturally 'the same enemy', because Lin Yue was born in the East China Sea, so he gave him a contemptuous name of the intestinal child. The intestinal boy is another name for the crab, and the intestinal child is naturally sarcastic that Lin Yue is just a little crab, nothing insignificant, and it can't set off the wind and waves.
Tao Jian could only be silent, after all, the entire Tao family had already surrendered to the third prince, and this time the envoy from the capital was Tao Wei's son-in-law, the little marquis of the Marquis of Yunxin's mansion. His flat wife is Tao Wei's daughter Tao Jie, and Tao Qi's fifth sister, originally the second daughter of the third room, born to the concubine Jiang, well-read and reasonable, and quiet in nature.
Because of the sky-high bride price before, Tao Wei was very jealous of his second brother Tao Jian, but this time his son-in-law came and wanted to clean up the second brother's son-in-law, which really made him 'raise his eyebrows'.
The boss Tao Xiu frowned, after all, Lin Yue is the son-in-law of the Tao family, and everyone in Yuanzhou knows that if things get out of control, the Tao family will not only look bad on the face, but will actually suffer losses. As the patriarch, he had to think more, and now the envoy of the capital and Lin Yue can be said to be the son-in-law of the Tao family, the advantage is that the third prince and the fourth prince can bet on both sides, and the disadvantage is that stepping on two boats is likely to capsize.
If Lin Yue really raised troops to the north, it would be equivalent to cutting off the third prince's side, which was not in the interests of the Tao family, but if he helped the third prince to destroy Lin Yue directly, this is not a good way, and now the best way is to stabilize the little marquis of Yunxin Hou's mansion while preventing Lin Yue from sending troops to maintain the current balance, then whoever wins in the end will be able to save the Tao family. It seems that I will go and talk to Lin Yue in person tomorrow.
......
In the garden of the Duke's Mansion in Dingnan, two people were drinking in the gazebo. If Lin Yue was here, he would definitely recognize one of them as the little marquis of the Yunxin Marquis Mansion. The other person is his brother-in-law, who has always looked down on Lin Yue's sixth son, Tao Hong.
At the beginning, this little marquis in the capital was blackmailed by Lin Yue's subordinates for a lot of money, and at one time he didn't even dare to go to the west city under Lin Yue's jurisdiction. The Yunxin Marquis Mansion is actually only a second-rate force in the capital, except for the poor people in Xicheng, it really can't shake any prestige.
Yunxin Xiaohou said half-drunkly: "In this way, eh~ that intestinal child, he has no ability at all, and he relies on climbing the Tao family, so he can gain a foothold in Yuanzhou?"
Tao Hong also said: "Where is it, he is just a little spell that summons the wind and rain, a martial artist, a small scholar in the countryside, and I don't know how to please the old lady and marry the seventh sister to him." Otherwise, who knows who he is. ”
This is actually not unreasonable, after all, although Lin Yue is the chief soldier of Yuanzhou, most people also regard him as a flowing official, and he has no intention of making deep friends. Since the Tao family's sky-high bride price, Lin Yue has really opened his reputation in the circle. However, in this matter, the role of the Tao family is not very glorious, but Tao Hong, the sixth son, still chooses to simply forget.
Theoretically, Yunxin Xiaohou and Lin Yue are both sons-in-law of the Tao family, and Yunxin Xiaohou Ye should also be persuaded to be superior, but he has suffered enough of Lin Yue's losses in the capital, and he also has the idea of rectifying him, and the third prince does not have a good impression of the generals of the fourth prince's family, so of course he must follow the steps of the third prince. Although Lin Yue's skills are passed on to the market, neither Tao Hong nor Xiao Hou Ye have seen Lin Yue do it, even if they do, they can't tell the level with their level.
In the eyes of these anointed disciples, the exercises must be dazzling and amazing, and the real masters, as soon as they see Lin Yue walking and raising their arms, they can conclude that this person is not simple.
Yunxin Xiaohou Ye also said: "That's right, just a puppet in the East China Sea, a child without intestines, in the capital, he ignored the law, slandered people's innocence, and blackmailed me several times, this time His Royal Highness will have a great cause, and he must be allowed to spit it out with interest." He heard that Lin Yue did not hesitate to use 200,000 taels to marry the daughter of the Tao family, and he still had a lot of surplus silver in his hand, and this time he also showed a trace of greed.
Tao Hong also said: "That's natural, an inferior honorable family, what qualifications do you have to climb to the public mansion, I have already contacted the Zhushun Marquis Mansion, they are also extremely supportive of the three highnesses, and they have gathered a thousand parts, all of them are good." The second uncle also cut off their grain and grass. As long as he makes a move, he can take it when he lands. ”
If Lin Yue heard these remarks, he was afraid that he would laugh three times, not to mention his own divine channel method, even if he didn't make a move, the three thousand soldiers would not be easy to deal with, the imperial court had limited food and salary, and it had always been Lin Yue who had paid for it himself, and unceremoniously said that they were Lin Yue's private soldiers.
These young masters and sons are not only ambitious and talented, but also some take it for granted, thinking that the king's destiny is the master, the class and order are eternal, as long as these 'superior people' gently wave their hands, they can calm everything. Whether it was Gao Weihai or worshipping the Holy Maiden, they all ended up in failure. It can be seen that these foolish people are only worthy of bowing their heads to the ground and obediently obeying their dispatches.
Don't be an An An starvation, especially a praying mantis......
And to a certain extent, Lin Yue, a little nobleman, is just a little more high-end than this starvation in their eyes, and can be compared to the eagle dog of the imperial court, and they are not the same after all.
......
On the second day, Tao Xiu personally went to the General Soldier's Mansion, but was told that Lin Yue had already left and would not be allowed to enter anyway. He could only stomp his feet hatefully, and secretly said that Lin Yue was looking for death by himself.
At the same time, Wu Yan and Su Shun began to buy rice and grain on the street, hoarding materials, even if the merchant increased the price, they were willing to buy, those nobles had the intention to stop it, but who could not get along with money, as a businessman, there were many ways to hide from the world. Within a day, Lin Yue's army was ready to go. News has been received from the front that the fourth prince has arrived at the Cloud Piercing Pass and will be heading for the capital in the near future. Although the other soldiers and horses encountered more or less trouble, they also solved it one after another, and set off one after another, and it is estimated that the strength of the four princes besieging the capital may reach 100,000.
Seeing that Lin Yue was about to set off, and the matter was irreparable, Yunxin Xiaohou immediately called Tao Wei and Tao Hong to find Zhu Shunhou, preparing to eliminate Lin Yue's troops by force, and they had already ambushed a thousand parts in advance on Lin Yue's way to Beijing.
The bean pit is a small hill and is not suitable for a head-on battle, but it is a good place to ambush 1,800 people. Lin Yue led his troops to set off, and in less than two hours, he was not far from the bean pit.
