Chapter 1129: The Southern Expedition
Jin Haitao can come to this day, sitting in this position, can be selected by Zhao Xiao as a partner for cooperation, knowledge and means are naturally not lacking, I didn't expect it before, it is also a benefit of Xunxin,. At this time, Zhao Xiao reminded him, and Jin Haitao immediately realized that something was wrong, especially when Jiang Xian killed the King of Liao, and even several cabinet ministers at that time were frightened, and joined forces with King Jian and other princes and nobles, in order to set up Li Qian as the king of the county with a different surname and govern the northwest, almost coaxing Jiang Xian out of the capital.
Zhao Xi was the beneficiary of that year, even if he didn't remember what happened back then, someone around him would definitely remind him.
Who can guarantee that he will not do the same, write an edict to whom the king of Qin's edict will be delivered?
Cold sweat broke out on Jin Haitao's forehead, and he hesitated: "The emperor is not so stupid, right? If today, only Li Qian can send troops to the south." Li Qian has always been unclear - you say he is ambitious, and he has always been a courtier. You say he is loyal, and he has been training his troops. In case the edict really falls into his hands, who dares to guarantee that Li Qian will not rebel?"
"But who dares to guarantee that Li Qian will not go south to King Qin?" Zhao Xiao snorted dissatisfiedly, and couldn't help but complain, "If the emperor had a little brain, why would we have come to this point?"
Jin Haitao was silent for a moment.
Zhao Xiao was also reluctant to continue this topic, and said: "I think our top priority is to find the whereabouts of that Fan Pan first, otherwise I will never be at ease in my heart." Then inform our people in the capital and find a way to keep an eye on Li Qian. If Li Qian received the edict, it would be impossible for him to be without movement. ”
Jin Haitao nodded.
But Li Qian didn't have anything unusual there.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, it is said that because Jiang Xian came back from the summer vacation in Xiaotangshan in advance, some merchants in the capital in order to please Jiang Xian's like, jointly held a very grand lantern festival, Li Qian took his son, accompanied Jiang Xian to appear on the Vermilion Bird Avenue, and also guessed the lantern fans with some Li people, and enjoyed the lanterns, so that many women and children who had experienced war in the early years, and now settled down in the capital knelt on the side of the road where Jiang Xian and Li Qian passed and prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless Li Qian and Jiang Xian to live a long life, smooth sailing, and some had to pay for the two to build a shrine.
When he heard the news, Gu Chao was discussing with Zhao Xiao about the transfer of court officials this year.
The reason why Jiangnan officialdom surrendered so quickly in front of Jingyang Academy, in the final analysis, was only because Gu Chao entered the cabinet and controlled the appointment and dismissal of officials in the north. Who knew that something had happened at the end of the matter, Li Qian had promised to do a good job, as soon as the empress dowager died, he refused the imperial court's appointment and dismissal of officials in the north, but the emperor stood on Li Qian's side, Li Qian also played a scene of indiscriminate killing of court officials, although some people dispelled the idea of going to the north as officials, but more people hoped to take this opportunity to soar into the sky, the matter has passed more than a year, but it is still noisy in front of Gu Chao, and all kinds of means are used to ask Gu Chao to help him find an errand and seal an official and a half-post.
Gu Chao can ignore other people's requests, but he can't ignore people who are also from Jingyang Academy, otherwise who else will help the Gu family and help him in the future?
But now to the south are a few turnips waiting in line for a pit, where there are still many errands to be vacated.
For this reason, he had to discuss Zhao Xiao to see if he could find a way to squeeze out a few positions.
Zhao Xiao felt that if he wanted to achieve something great in Jiangnan, he had to be helped by these literati to brag and boast, this business could be done, but how to do it depends on how sincere Gu Chao is.
A greedy and stingy one, of course things didn't work out.
The study also fell into a speechlessness.
Fortunately, there was a small servant who delivered refreshments outside the door and asked to see him. In order to ease the temperature, Zhao Xiao's staff next to him simply said the rumors from the market: "...... Everyone is saying that the king of Lintong is afraid of his wife. As long as it is liked by the county lord of Jianan, the king of Lintong will definitely follow the heart of the county lord of Jianan. This time the light market on August 15 is also said to be the meaning of the lord of Jianan. ”
Gu Chao and Zhao Xiao couldn't help but listen.
Then the staff spoke more vigorously.
Gu Chao and Zhao Xiao both began to be absent-minded.
Zhao Xiao thought that Li Qian was also a man, no matter what he married Jiang Xian for, he could be good to his wife for more than ten years, which is also a matter of forbearance. Gu Chao felt that Jiang Xian was very powerful, his mother's family had already fallen, and he could still make Li Qian die for her, but he didn't see that Jiang Xian had such a ability.
Zhao Xi also heard about it.
He immediately let out a sigh of relief, wilted like a blanched cabbage, and went to the dormitory where Empress Liu lived for a long time, and only when he was halfway through did he remember that Empress Liu was suffering from the wind and cold, and there was no way to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, and he had not come back.
Zhao Xi sat on his shoulder with straight eyes, not knowing where to go.
Finally, after ten years, Empress Liu came back, but as soon as Empress Liu came back, she talked about the fact that the concubine suddenly ran out of the inner palace a few days ago, and said to him: "Sister Guifei is already like this, no matter how ruthless I am, it is impossible for me to fall into the well at such a time, not to mention that I am not ruthless." I just thought that the palace was not big, and it would not be good if the concubine's sister accidentally ran out again and collided with the courtiers in the court. It's better to send her to the temple to recuperate, and let the master in the temple pray for the concubine's sister. I went to Jiming Temple and felt much better. ”
Zhao Xi didn't know when he would use the concubine, so he didn't agree. Empress Liu was helpless and proposed to replace the palace maids and chamberlains who served the concubine with a new batch of obedient and sensible ones.
Zhao Xi thought that all the people in the palace who helped him at the beginning were gone, and there were indeed a few people serving the concubine, so he agreed.
Empress Liu began to investigate the fact that the concubine ran out of the dormitory in a frenzy that day.
Just didn't wait for her to find out what conclusions, the capital suddenly issued a message, claiming to have received the emperor's edict, Zhao Xiao wolf ambition, there is a heart of rebellion, Li Qian obeyed the emperor's edict, led troops to the south within three days, and the Qing monarch side.
The edict of the cloth belt, hence the meaning of the name, is the edict written in the belt.
Zhao Xiao received the text, smiled angrily, and beckoned Jin Haidao: "What did I say? Lord Jin is credible at this time?"
Jin Haitao's face was also very ugly.
Although Zhao Xi did not scold him in the edict, his attachment to Zhao Xiao is no secret in the court. He and Zhao Xiao are already in a relationship of prosperity and loss, Zhao Xiao is unlucky, and he has no good life.
Jin Haitao frowned and said, "Could it be that the news was brought out by someone named Fan Pan?"
Zhao Xiao nodded and said, "I heard that Fan Pan took refuge in Li Qian and became a small captain under Li Qian. It can be seen that this edict was brought by Fan Pan. ”
It's only to blame that they found out too late.
Jin Haitao said after a while: "Then what should we do?"
He is a soldier in the north, the cavalry can be used on foot and horse, and across the Yangtze River moat, he thinks it is better for Zhao Xiao to lead the troops.
