Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Horse Is Hard to Abandon
After the wine was hot, Liu Wenyuan got up to say goodbye, and Chen Shou said, "Why don't you sleep here for one night and then go into the city?" β
"No, finish this trip as soon as possible, and go back to Xiliang to prepare for the New Year. Haha, I won't see you this year. β
"By the way, looking at the average quality of the horse you ride, I have a good horse here, and I will give it to you!" Liu Wenyuan beckoned, a Xiliang military man, and led a healthy horse with bright coat and black body.
Chen Shou was worried about the lack of horses, so he gladly accepted it, let Zhao Hong lead him behind, and personally sent them out of the manor.
Just as I wanted to go back, a team of cavalry came from afar, led by his godfather Wei Ning.
"Brother Shou, what kind of people are these guys, such a strong man, I don't know who is so generous and drives such a strong man to do business, it's really a waste of talent. If they wish, they can come to my right outpost! β
Chen Shou said with a smile: "Godfather has good eyesight, this is the people of the General's Mansion, they are responsible for the food, drink and chewing of hundreds of thousands of troops, I am afraid that they are not the most elite soldiers in Xiliang." β
"Then forget it, the people of the General's Mansion, hehe..." Wei Ning smiled, and then his eyes were attracted by the horse in Zhao Hong's hand, "Tall and healthy, windy mane and foggy mane, good horse!" β
"This is also what they sent, if the godfather likes it, take it and use it."
Wei Ning smiled heartily, "How can I take your good horse, and my horse, with me for ten years, even if I am old, I can't bear to abandon it." After speaking, he touched his horse's neck, and his eyes were very gentle.
Chen Shou took him into the courtyard, and Wei Ningcai said: "Miao De sent someone to spread the news that the palace guards have been frequently transferred recently, and although Yao Baobao is very careful, he still shows his feet. The four of us unanimously suspect that this kid has made a big move, so you should be careful. β
Chen Shouzhu was taken aback, this is not a trivial matter, the struggle at the apex of power since ancient times, how can there be any compromise at all, it must be bloody.
It would be naΓ―ve to think that with the protection of the old emperor, you would be invulnerable.
Chen Shou sat for a long time and muttered: "Should we help Your Majesty and take back the power in the hands of the civil officials." β
Wei Ning took a bottle of good wine sent by Xiliangren, bit down the cork, and took a deep breath, "Power is like the most fragrant and pure wine, and you want to take it from others, hmph, unless he lives or dies." β
Chen Shou thought of the agreement with Liu Wenyuan just now, nodded, and said, "Wait a few days, I have a batch of strong reinforcements coming, let's do a real thing." β
He has seen through the court of this Great Qi, whoever masters Bianliang will be able to command the heroes.
Needless to say, Xiliang is full of local tyrants, and it doesn't matter to them who is in power, as long as they continue to connive at their own one-third of an acre.
And the south has no decent combat effectiveness at all, and the extravagance and absurdity of the upper-level officials are on par with the group of birdmen in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which makes the Huaiyang area smoky.
Daqi seems to be the unification of Jiangbei, but in fact, the Zhao family's rivers and mountains have long been scattered.
Wei Ning raised his head and poured a mouth full of spirits, Chen Shou frowned as he looked at it, and persuaded: "Godfather, drinking like this is not good for your body." β
"Hey, godfather is old, don't care if his mother is good or not, let's be happy first. Call... What a strong wine! β

Wei Mansion, Prime Minister's Study.
The pink wall is surrounded by a small courtyard, which makes the courtyard elegant and quiet.
There were red candles burning in the study, and several figures were distinct on the screen window.
The world's decrees, mostly for this, are well-deserved Xiaotongting.
Wei Yunse sat at the top, surrounded by senior officials from the DPRK and China, and in the past ten years of prime ministership, Wei Yunse's methods can be called very good.
He maintained the strength of all parties in the country very harmoniously, and everyone was rich and enjoyed wealth.
In the imperial court, dissidents were excluded and political opponents were suppressed, except for some petty officials who were not successful, there were few who were not from the Wei Sect.
As for why he should keep those who are fighting with him, this is a reflection of Wei Yunse's skill, if it was all Wei Party, Emperor Yuan would have resigned a long time ago.
At this time, everyone gathered together and took out one at random, all of them were high-ranking officials worthy of Bianliang's name.
"Xiliang thief, now that the climate has become a reality, today in the Chunhe Palace, I saw him bewitching His Majesty, like coaxing a three-year-old child. It is clear that His Majesty is old and too old to distinguish right from wrong. β
Wei Yunse's mouth was full of heart-wrenching words, but he was not afraid at all, and no one present would be stupid enough to betray him.
Now that he said this, everyone present was secretly frightened.
Could it be that Wei Xiang wants to repeat Huo Guang's old story? With his power, he is not inferior to Huo Guang at the beginning.
As soon as I thought of this, the hearts of those present came alive, and they did not have much fear.
Although the surname of this court is Zhao, it has long been hollowed out, and the forbidden army is the Son of Heaven Guard, but that group of people only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and they have long lost their combat effectiveness.
In addition to the forbidden army itself, everyone in the world knows that the forbidden army is a bunch of straw bale waste.
Daqi has come to this point, and it seems reasonable that there will be earth-shattering palace changes below.
After all, Jiang Chucai is a good brain, so he immediately stepped forward and bent down and said: "Grace gave an order, and we will swear to follow to the death, and we will clear the king's side." β
Several other officials, deeply remorseful, actually let this old boy take the lead again, how could they patronize the shock, but they didn't expect to be the first to show loyalty.
Wei Yunse nodded and said, "With you here, I am very sure, but this matter is not trivial, and it must be considered in the long run." The thieves are rampant, and they rely on nothing more than the four eunuchs. β
Liu Qin answered: "What Enxiang said is extremely true, if you want to get rid of the thief, you must first kill the four eunuchs. Kill the four of them, and the thief will be just a Xiliang skirmisher, let us pinch and flatten. Moreover, His Majesty does not trust the four eunuchs, otherwise he would not have supported Yao Dugong. They are dead, so as not to cause His Majesty to go mad. β
"These four old things are not easy to kill." Yao Baobao, who was on the side, listened to them one by one, and felt very uncomfortable.
But at this time, he must stand up and say something, these four people in Beisi are the thorns in his side.
If it weren't for these four old things, he wouldn't have had to completely take refuge in Wei Yunse. The authority of the North Division is actually very large, especially the left sentry camp and the right sentry camp, which are the strongest armies in the capital, and if they fully control the North Division, they can at least compete with the civil officials and sit on an equal footing.
Wei Yunse smiled, a little cruel, and said lightly: "These four old things are difficult, but they are old... When Your Majesty was young, wasn't he wise and martial, but now? was planted by a farmer and played around! After a few years of peaceful birthdays, the four old things are afraid that they will throw away their caution in Java. β
Yao Baobao breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes froze, and said: "In this case, our family is willing to act as a pawn for Enxiang and beheaded four old things." β
