Chapter 138: Think long-term

After the funeral, he temporarily returned to Yang Zhai Xingying.

In the camp, in a spacious tent, two figures with good temperament sat opposite each other, two prime ministers, Dou Zhengu, a waiter under the door, and Li Tao, a waiter in the middle book. sent the emperor on his last journey, and the two of them were still wearing mourning silk, and they seemed to have a little sadness on their faces.

Picking up the teacup, shaking his head lightly and blowing on the freshly brewed tea, Li Tao said in a mocking tone: "Brother Dou, you see today, in front of the mausoleum of the first emperor, in front of everyone, Yang Xiang is crying and grabbing the ground like that, mourning constantly, it is really grief-stricken!" ”

Now in the court, the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty have basically been united. Among the rulers, the conflict between Li Tao and Yang Wei was the most violent, and their political views were often different, and they impeached each other more than once.

"Didn't Your Majesty say it? Yang Xianggong is loyal to the first emperor, and his loyalty is commendable! Dou Zhengu said quietly. I took a sip of tea and savored it carefully, I don't know if it is the taste in the tea or the meaning in the words.

Glancing at Dou Zhengu, Li Tao understood what he meant. smiled faintly, and his heart was clear, sure enough, although he was a low-key performance in this Dou Xiang's fair day, he knew many things very well in his heart.

"It's a pity, now that my emperor is in power, no matter how loyal he is to the first emperor, how can he please His Majesty?" Li Tao's tone was inevitably playful: "The Son of Heaven is not a bully. Such a simple truth, our Yang Xianggong doesn't seem to understand! ”

Listening to the wit between his words, Dou Zhengu also sighed indifferently: "People in the bureau are often not sober enough. Yang Xiang's founding minister, high-minded and arrogant, eventually Gaozu once held the country's politics and held the center, and no one dared to take his edge. However, in the past few years since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he has personally taken charge of the military and politics, and has repeatedly suppressed him, with Yang Xiang's heart, where can he endure it! ”

Li Tao nodded in agreement, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at Dou Zhengu: "Brother Dou, above the court, Yang Wei often relies on the situation to oppress us and others, my heart is really unbearable, I once suggested that His Majesty send him to the town, but he was reprimanded. ”

"Yang Wei is arrogant, proud of his achievements, and always forgets his duty as a minister, although the Son of Heaven tolerates it. However, the Son of Heaven has a strong temperament, and if he can endure it for a while, how can he endure it for a lifetime? In my opinion, Yang Wei has already become a thorn in His Majesty's heart, which needs to be removed urgently, and if it is not removed, it will be difficult to feel at ease! Li Tao's tone was full of confidence.

"What does Brother Li want?" Dou Zhengu asked urgently.

Clenched his fist slightly, Li Tao lowered his voice: "Yang Wei disrespects the monarch, despises the bureaucrats, is unpopular, and tries in vain to control the government. Your Majesty wants to get rid of it, but it is just an excuse and opportunity, and I think that we should actively speak up for Your Majesty, for the court, and for Your Majesty......"

Hearing this, Dou Zhengu's expression condensed slightly, and after thinking seriously for a while, he responded: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run!" ”

"What are Brother Dou's scruples?" Li Tao frowned.

Dou Zhengu's low-key expression was tinged with a little cunning: "Since Brother Li can see that the Son of Heaven can't tolerate Yang Wei, why should we do anything more?" ”

"However, every time I think about Yang Wei's bullying of us, I feel angry in my heart!"

......

Gaozu Zigong entered the mountain mausoleum, Liu Chengyou sent some of the accompanying generals and officials Yu to return to the court, and performed Yu sacrifices, while Liu Chengyou led most of the troops and moved to Changshe.

Even if it is located in, the presence of the Son of Heaven in person is a rare thing for the people of the Changshe. The upper and lower officials were courteous and courteous, and Liu Xin personally led the subordinate officials to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

But it is obvious that the low-level people of Xuzhou reacted very indifferently to the emperor's coming. Since ancient times, when the emperor traveled, as long as he put the car in place, there was nothing that did not disturb the people.

"How dare he? How dare he? Inside, Liu Chengyou did not hide his anger, and vented violently: "As a member of the Han Dynasty, my imperial uncle, what is the difference between what he does and what he does is different from that of beasts, and how is it different from that of poor bandits and thieves?" ”

"It's a shame that he did it, in the name of the first emperor and me, led the people to plunder the people for personal gain, this is to ruin the prestige of the imperial court, and ruin the reputation of the first emperor and me! I entrusted the town of Fang Fang, and made such a vicious act, so how can I face the victims? How to face the world? ”

"He's breaking the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Who can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, no matter how vulgar it is, don't you understand this truth? ”

"Is he trying to force the people of Xuzhou to rise up and create a rebellion against the Han Dynasty?"

“......”

Liu Chengyou was rarely so excited, swaying around the imperial case, spitting, and the unrestrained voice caused the tent curtain to tremble.

Li Shaoyou buried his head in a low-key manner, maintained a humble appearance, and quietly waited for the emperor to vent his emotions. He also expected Liu Chengyou's anger.

In the past few days, Li Shaoyou has widely distributed secret agents under the Wude Division, investigated deeply, and investigated the situation in Xuzhou. For nearly half a year, the power of the Taketokusi has also spread in the prefectures. It's not hard to investigate.

Of course, there is nothing worth working on, and almost everything Liu Xin does is on the bright side, clear and clear, and there is no taboo. Just like the military generals who have been in evil places for many years, they don't know what restraint is and what reverence is. Moreover, Liu Xin has always acted as an imperial uncle.

However, when the subordinates reported the situation one after another, even Li Shaoyou couldn't help but show "admiration" for Liu Xin. The courage is really too big, oppression of the good, and the people of fish and meat are light on everything.

Corruption and bribery, selling official positions and lords are not fatal crimes. Reckless punishment and reckless disregard for human life are even more common. The officials of the state government are like dogs and horses, and if they are slightly offended, they will abuse them into chickens and ducks.

But what really stunned Li Shaoyou was that Liu Xin had to count Liu Xin's act of plundering the people. It seems that on the side of Guqiao Town, the two sides "negotiated" and donated money, which was a minority after all. In more cases, it is still the tooth soldiers who directly loot and plunder.

Show the flag to grab it, Li Shaoyou is really "convinced". Even if you send troops to pretend to be bandits and thieves to loot, the impact will be smaller, let alone in the name of welcoming the first emperor Zigong and contributing to the Son of Heaven.

This last point is what makes Li Shaoyou "amazed" the most, and he dares to do such a taboo thing! I really thought that the identity of an imperial uncle was a life amulet.

Sure enough, Liu Chengyou's reaction did not surprise Li Shaoyou.

Liu Chengyou is still spraying: "When I was in Tokyo, I was degraded out of Beijing with its brutality, corruption, and desecration. I asked him to go to Xuzhou, and I didn't ask him to be loyal and dutiful, and to support the people, even if he was desolate and lazy, I could tolerate him. Who would have thought that it would be enough to not repent, but to intensify ......"

"Official, please calm your anger!" also found that Liu Chengyou's tone had eased somewhat, and Li Shaoyou finally spoke.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou sat down, stared at Li Shaoyou and asked word by word: "Right now, the people of Xuzhou are probably complaining, and the people are complaining about the court, scolding me for being a lawless and faint king!" ”

Li Shaoyou sneered: "That's not it. ”

"Not really? Hum! Pinching the report presented by Li Shaoyou, Liu Chengyou snorted coldly, turned his head and greeted Zhang Dejun: "Pass Zhao Yanjin!" ”

Zhao Yanjin was on duty outside, and steadily entered: "What does Your Majesty command!" ”

Liu Chengyou's tone was very anxious: "You take a team of armor soldiers to detain Liu Xin of the loyal army!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yanjin looked at the Son of Heaven with a cold face in dismay.

At this time, Li Shaoyou stepped forward and said carefully: "The official family, after all, is the emperor's uncle, according to the ministers, this matter is still considered in the long run......"
