Chapter 34: Yang Mou
Go to the capital and govern the history of Su
Li Wenjun is the head of the Inner History Mansion, and he is usually only responsible for taking care of some internal affairs and assisting Li Heng. But he's been busy for the last few months or so.
Li Heng has two sons in the internal history, the second child was killed on the street, the murderer has not yet been punished, Li Heng is grieving, barely able to perform official duties, but I didn't think that this young son suffered an accident, and the eldest son was murdered again.
Li Heng's eldest son, Li Gang, was the captain of the city defense battalion, and he was about to be promoted when he saw it, but he didn't expect to be killed by the newly appointed acting commander of the city defense battalion. Li Heng was so angry when he heard the news that he fainted.
After many inquiries, he learned that the acting commander of the city defense camp was Han Ming, and he was furious and vowed to break Han Ming's body into ten thousand pieces. There are no less than ten books of Han Ming's recitals alone, but in the end, they are all mud cows into the sea, and there is no response.
Li Heng understood that this Han Ming had the prince to follow, he couldn't move, he was bedridden under this anger, and he didn't take care of official affairs, and all the heavy responsibilities of the inner government were handed over to Li Wenjun, but he was too busy.
At this moment, Li Wenjun was sorting out the grain payment records of various counties and counties at the beginning of autumn, when he suddenly ran in from outside the door and said breathlessly: "Oh no, no, my lord, something happened to the grain collected by Linglang County." ”
Hearing this, Li Wenjun was stunned for a moment, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
On this day, the leaves are falling and the flowers are yellow, and the eyes are scattered, reflecting in the eyes, which only increases the sorrow of the world.
Li Wenjun walked to the Li Mansion and stood at the door of the Li Mansion, and he didn't have time to tidy up his clothes, so he walked straight in.
Li Heng lay on the bed sickly, with a hot towel on his forehead, coughing once or twice from time to time, as if his life was short.
He stared at Li Wenjun and asked weakly: Does Master Li have anything important? Ahem, look at my body, I'm afraid that I can't handle official business, and I have to worry about Lord Bo to have more snacks. “
Li Wenjun stared at Li Heng on the bed, knowing in his heart that he was not really sick, but a heart disease, but he couldn't help himself if he wanted to pretend to be sick.
He stared at Li Heng and said, "My lord, my subordinates know that my lord is not in good health, but there is something I have to report to my lord and let him decide." ”
"Ahem", Li Heng barely supported himself and sat at the head of the bed.
"Tell me what. ”
"My lord, the spring tax from Linglang County to Kyoto was robbed by the mountain bandits of Huotou Mountain, and the army transporting grain and grass was completely wiped out. ”
Hearing this, Li Heng, who was originally "weak" and powerless, immediately sat up straight, poked his head out, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and asked loudly again.
"What did you say? Say it again. ”
Li Wenjun replied tremblingly: "My lord, the grain and grass in Linglang County have been robbed. ”
When Li Heng heard this again, his eyes kept rolling and he pondered for a while.
As the governor of the internal history, he is responsible for the taxation of each county, and although the soldiers and horses sent to collect tax grain are not the soldiers and horses of the Inner History Mansion, the Inner History Mansion has the responsibility of supervising the transportation. This grain and grass were robbed during his illness, and in principle, he was not responsible.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lie on the bed.
Li Wenjun saw him like this, he was very worried in his heart, this batch of grain and grass was lost, although he was responsible for the internal history of curing the corn, but as the main book, during the period of illness in the internal history, he lost the tax grain, and the responsibility was great, and to recover this loss, he had to rely on this Li Heng.
"My lord, this grain and grass has been robbed, aren't you worried?"
Li Heng looked at Li Wenjun and said: "Hey, this official's body really can't handle official business, and the robbery of grain and grass really can't spare the energy to deal with it, and I have to trouble Master Li to worry a lot." ”
When Li Wenjun heard this, he was anxious and angry, this old fox clearly didn't want to do things. But he already had a solution in mind.
"My lord, Xia Guan came back to find my lord, this grain and grass was robbed, it's just a trivial matter, Xia Guan has a bigger matter, I want to report to my lord. ”
Li Heng didn't care, and asked casually, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”
"Didn't Xia Guan see that the adult was sick, and specially came to deliver a prescription for the adult. ”
Li Heng waved his hand, "This official's illness has no medicine to treat, no medicine to treat." ”
"My lord, this disease is a disease of the heart, and this disease of the heart must be treated with medicine. Xia Guan knew that the adult's heart disease was Han Ming in the city defense camp, so he came to offer a plan for the adult to get rid of this Han Ming. Li Wenjun made a gesture to wipe his neck by the way.
As soon as Li Heng heard this, he immediately came to his senses and immediately sat up.
"Oh, what can you do? As long as you can get rid of him, I'll make sure you make the next history of curing Su. ”
Listening to Li Heng's assurance, Li Wenjun smiled on his face and leaned closer to Li Heng.
"My lord, this robbery of grain and grass is a great opportunity to get rid of Han Ming. ”
Hearing this, Li Heng became interested, "Oh? ”
"My lord, he Han Ming is not the commander of the city defense battalion, this Huotou Mountain is not far from the capital, it stands to reason that it should be the Gyeonggi Guards to exterminate, but the leader of the Gyeonggi Guards is the eldest son of the Liang family, my lord, you go and beg Liang Sikong, let the commander of the Gyeonggi Army call it sick, and then join forces with the ministers to ask the city defense battalion to suppress the bandits, this Han Ming as long as he goes to suppress the bandits, he will definitely fail, and when he loses the battle, the Lord will unite everyone and accuse him of the three sins, when the time comes, even if there is the prince to protect him, I am afraid that he will not be able to protect it. ”
"What are the three sins?" asked Li Heng.
"This crime, of course, is that the battle is unfavorable and he has suffered defeat; the second crime is to accuse him of dereliction of duty, and during his tenure of office, his training is not effective, so that the army's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a mere bandit; these three crimes are to kill his subordinates at will, and he has a habit of killing, and his subordinates have specially found the families of the generals who were persecuted by Han Ming. ”
"Good! good!"
After listening to Li Wenjun's idea, Li Heng's heart was moved, this is a good way to get rid of Han Ming, but I don't know if this gang of bandits can defeat Han Ming.
"But how can you guarantee that this gang of bandits will definitely be able to defeat the city defense battalion? Although this city defense battalion is weak, it is also a Beijing army, and it is just a few bandits, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it. ”
Li Wenjun smiled when he heard this.
"My lord, do you know that the army sent by Linglang County to transport tax grain this time is the most elite army in the local area, but it was almost wiped out by this gang of thieves, and only one deputy general escaped, according to the deputy general who fled back, this gang of bandits is full of tens of thousands of people, and we will say that there are nearly 1,000 people in this gang of bandits. Thinking about the city defense camp, there is a miasma of smoke all day long, and the soldiers are training like child's play, to deal with this gang of bandits, I am afraid that there will be no return. ”
When Li Heng heard this, he smiled and clapped his hands.
"Okay, then it's foolproof, just according to your idea, I'll go, this time I'm going to let this Han Ming die without a place to be buried!" Li Heng gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
After saying that, he got out of bed and hurriedly put on his clothes, and while getting dressed, he also commanded things, and there was no sign of illness at all.
"I'm going to talk to Lord Liang, hmph, what if he Han Ming has the crown prince to cover him, offend me, I want him to know that in this piece of land in the capital, there are some things that can't be done. ”
Li Wenjun looked at Li Heng's hurried figure, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as this batch of grain and grass can be recovered, or a scapegoat can be found, he will be fine.
Looking at Li Heng, who was still lying on the bed sickly just now, but at the moment he was alive and well, he was also very disdainful in his heart, and he would replace this person one day sooner or later.
