Chapter 32: Chen Shou's Hat-trick (First Update)
It was dusk and the lights were on.
In the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of powerful ministers gathered.
The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, and everyone looked at Wei Xiang, who had lost his previous calm temperament, and had their own calculations in their hearts.
The position of the official secretary was gone, and Wei Yunse was furious.
Jiang Chucai, who was originally going to take the position, was also depressed, the Ministry of Officials was the head of the six departments, and the position of real power under the prime minister was relatively heavy, so Liu Shangying took advantage of it.
Chen Shou pressed forward step by step, but they could only endure it, and the reason was that Chen Shou had mastered the emperor and had a team of soldiers and horses in his hand.
Wei Yunse clearly remembered that only about 800 of his men came on the night of the palace change, and they beat Yao Baobao's left sentry camp to the ground.
It is said that in those four Taoist temples, there is a small road up the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are thousands of soldiers and horses hidden in the temple, and they can enter Bianliang at any time, which is simply a sharp blade hanging over everyone's heads.
"Tolerate it for a while, and raise this thief into a big trouble!" Wei Yunse gritted his teeth and scolded: "I knew this was the case, it was better to be a thief with Yao Baobao." Now Chen Shou is a disaster, a hundred times more than Yao Baobao, making me sleep. ”
Jiang Chucai's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he raised his hand to make a knife split, "For today's plan, there is only one last step." ”
"Isn't it... Somewhat adventurous. ”
"Enxiang, if you want to expel him from the court, only Your Majesty nods, in the short term, Your Majesty will not only not nod, but will protect him more and more. Then we have to use normal means to deal with him, and we will have to wait until His Majesty dies, and we don't know what big things he can make during this time. And the thief is cunning and abnormal, and he has been developing his power. He had no foundation, he could still stir up the wind and rain, and if he was to continue to mess around, he would not be able to cure him if his tail was too big. Jiang Chucai's voice was full of determination, and the contradiction between him and Chen Shou was deeper than Wei Yunse.
Because Chen Shou did not touch the interests of the Lianghuai Group behind Wei Yunse, but he had already begun to meddle in Hedong.
What's even more infuriating is that he chose his sworn enemy when he came up and cooperated with the Yuan family in Baibo Valley, which is well known to everyone.
In the name of disaster relief, Yanqingguan recruited troops in Hedong and colluded with Baibo Valley, and it was even more like a fish in water.
Ben Ali and the White Lotus Sect bandits brutally suppressed the Yanqing Guan represented by Zhang Zhengyuan, but the White Lotus Sect bandits were beyond their strength, took Jinyang, and let Li Xin annihilate the backbone in one fell swoop, and it was no longer a climate.
As a result, the Jiang family's plan to recruit troops on their own failed, but Yanqingguan became popular in the name of justice.
If Baibo Valley and Yanqing Temple continue, the Jiang family in Longmen Mountain will suffer a catastrophe.
A total of five people in the study fell silent, and after a while, Wei Yunse nodded and said, "That's all." ”
---
Under the East Palace, Mu Mian knelt on the ground, a little scared in his heart.
The man in black refused to speak for a long time, and the more this happened, the greater the coercion.
If he scolded, the wooden face would be less afraid.
"Tang Xuan is really a waste, Hedong has such a good opportunity, he can't even succeed, and he was easily extinguished by a Xiliang junior. I heard that Li Wei didn't go out of the mountain, only his second son, with more than 10,000 people, completely annihilated the good situation in Hedong. Rubbish... Rubbish. ”
The man in black finally spoke, and the wooden face knew that Tang Xuan was dead, and he dared to flee for his life if he did not complete his master's order in Hedong.
The most merciful thing is to let him commit suicide, and if he is ruthless, maybe he will use those tortures on him.
Tang Xuan developed the White Lotus believers in Hedong, and he didn't know how many people he had killed by torture, he must have known that it was not pleasant. This idiot, if it were himself, would have committed suicide a long time ago.
"Master, sect masters from other places have come to ask for instructions, do you act according to the original plan?" Wooden Face asked cautiously.
The man in black didn't seem to hear him, and was still shaking his head. His plan didn't originally start from Hedong, otherwise it wouldn't have been extinguished so easily, Hedong was not the place with the most White Lotus believers, or even one of the fewest regions.
Because Hedong is controlled by the family, it is difficult to penetrate, and the difficulty is second only to Xiliang and Youyan.
After a while, he coughed softly, his voice a little tired.
"The autumn flood in Hedong was originally an unexpected thing, maybe an opportunity, but now it seems that we are still in a hurry. However, I still have a chess piece, and I don't rush to act when I pass the order, Tang Xuan delayed the big event and told him to commit suicide to apologize. The affairs of Hedong will be handled by Lu Huai. ”
"Yes, master."
The wooden face was still lying on the ground, and he didn't see the man in black taking off his mask and gently kneading his forehead.
"Chen Shou's golden pill, how many have you offered?"
"Back to the master, the fifth."
"Hahaha... The old thing is excited, there are only four of them, and if there are four more, he will be feathered and ascended to immortality. ”
Mu Mian hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Master, the person from the East Palace sent someone to ask, when can you kill Chen Shou?" ”
"What's he anxious about?"
Wooden Face put his forehead on the ground, moved his wrist, and said, "It seems to be... Chen Shou and the crown princess, Li Lingfeng of Xiliang, have a somewhat unclear relationship. ”
"Hahaha, fun, fun! Chen Shou, this kid, I can't even bear to kill him. The crown princess, the imperial princess, the princess..."The man in black seemed to like to hear that the Zhao family was suffering, and his wooden face lay on the ground, so shocked that his jaw was about to fall.
The man in black didn't stop laughing until he felt some discomfort in his chest.
The short body of the wooden face, squirming slightly, to move slightly, he had served his master for so long, and he had never seen him so happy.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the man in black didn't know what he thought, and he furrowed his eyebrows again and fell silent.
"That slut surnamed Su..."The black-clothed man's tone became cold.
Wooden Face hurriedly replied: "Master, there are too many people to protect her, and we can't kill her at all if we don't use the dead." ”
"She's back in Xiliang?"
"Yes."
"Don't touch her yet, wait until the end to clean her up."
The man in black was very jealous of Xiliang, for fear of making trouble in Xiliang and exposing his subordinates.
If Li Wei knew what Li Jin's dead soldiers had done, it would completely disrupt his deployment, and maybe he would be uprooted.
Li Xin's performance in Hedong was too amazing, I had only heard that Xiliang Dama was fighting against other races outside the Saiwai before, and he gradually gained the upper hand, and he didn't think they were very powerful.
This time was the first time that the Xiliang soldiers marched eastward, and in front of the Central Plains people, they showed their combat strength, and the first battle shocked the world.
Although there are still some people who disagree, thinking that Xiliang soldiers are just bullying unarmed bandits, but the discerning people have already seen how terrible they are.
10,000 people fought all over the bandits in Hedong, and in a few months, they were able to exterminate the Hedong bandits from the roots, and they also took the opportunity to destroy several families, and what was even more terrifying was that they had almost no loss.
"Go ahead, tell the person in the East Palace that Chen Shou can't be killed for the time being, let him not be impulsive and miss a big deal."
