Chapter 42: Single-mindedly seeking the King of Wealth

Under the obstruction of Gao Fang, a lot of time was delayed, Ma Quanyi led his troops into Jiedu Mansion, and the time coincided, as soon as the soldiers and horses in Hedong arrived, it was also announced that Wang Shouen's plan to seize wealth had failed.

In front of such a "child" as Ma Quanyi, Wang Shouen looked very arrogant and regarded himself as a hero, and a skirmish that was both unexpected and reasonable arose.

Not long after, Li Wanchao also came to join in the fun with the Su Rui camp, and he was naturally very disgusted with Wang Shouen's greed, and decisively stood on the side of the high defense.

Under the joint pressure of several parties, Wang Shouen reluctantly withdrew from the Jiedu Mansion and reluctantly left the money and silk. However, after one night's hard work, the already in-depth friendship of the "Three Heroes of Luzhou" was directly shattered, and at the same time, because of this little episode, Wang Shouen had already made an awkward fuss in his heart.

At the suggestion of Xiang Xun, Ma Quanyi made the First Army only stationed in Jiedu Mansion and completely controlled the North Gate, and the rest were still in charge of the Luzhou Army. Such an action is obviously vigilant, but whether it is Gao Wei or Li Wanchao, they all actively cooperate, only Wang Shouen scolded endlessly.

And these are all in Xiang Xun's eyes. During his trip, in addition to liaising and instigating righteousness, he also had a mission to observe the performance of the Luzhou civil and military generals before and after, and to screen their hearts. By the time he had occupied the city, he had already counted it in his heart.

......

There were no accidents, and in the evening of the same day, Liu Chengyou led the rest of the entire army of Longqi, and after a day and night of marching, finally under the city of Shangdang.

Shangdang Beiguan, Wang Shouen, together with Luzhou civil and military and Shangdang Xianda, personally greeted under the city wall. Liu Chengyou was covered with iron armor and phoenix wings, and his young and serious face looked heroic. Many people were slightly surprised that these two highnesses were really as young as rumored.

"The last general, Wang Shouen, led the civil and military forces of Luzhou, and greeted His Royal Highness!" Looking at Liu Chengyou on the tall horse, Wang Shouen took a step forward and saluted Liu Chengyou with a master's attitude.

The Luzhou Military Academy and the officials in charge of the post followed behind and greeted him in unison. After sweeping around, Liu Chengyou raised his feet and dismounted quickly, waved his hand, and said in a calm voice: "You are exempt from courtesy." ”

"Your Highness."

At this time, Xiang Xun and Ma Quanyi greeted him, and they were under the city and briefly introduced the situation. Liu Chengyou bowed his head and said calmly: "You have worked hard! ”

Raising his head, he looked at the two blood coagulated heads on the city wall, and asked, "Is that Zhao Xingqian and the Khitan Qian Envoy?" ”

"Exactly!" Wang Shouen took the initiative to grab the words, pointed his finger in his hand, and said with a little righteousness: "These two people are greedy and violent, and their crimes are extremely heinous, and the party and the army and the people hate them deeply. Therefore behead him and hang him on the city wall to expose himself to the sun to punish his evil deeds......"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou thought about it, retracted his gaze, and commanded softly: "Take it down!" ”

"This." Wang Shouen immediately said: "Your Highness, such traitors and thieves do not deserve sympathy. When it is exposed, then its bones are broken, its ashes are raised, and the hatred of the party, the army and the people is vented. ”

Slanted a glance at Wang Shouen, Liu Chengyou's eyebrows sank slightly, staring at him, just one glance, and then withdrawing, there was no doubt in his flat tone: "Withdraw, lonely, there are other considerations!" ”

Wang Shouen was dissatisfied.

Gao Fang still took a step forward, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it's getting late, and I invite the army to enter the city to rest." The humble rank has set up a banquet in the Jiedu Mansion to catch the wind and wash the dust for you! ”

Jin Wuxi drooped, crumbling, the sky was already dark, Liu Chengyou nodded, beckoned: "Then let's enter the city!" ”

With the arrival of the Longqi Army, the situation of the Shangdang was completely under control. On the way to Jiedu Mansion, Liu Chengyou recruited Xiang Xun to his side and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation in the city?" ”

"Everything is under control, and the party can be said to be a concerted effort between the army and the people to welcome the king." Xiang Xun quickly reported to Liu Chengyou in the same low voice: "In order to prevent accidents, after killing Zhao Xingqian, the whole city has been under martial law. The officers and men of the First Army control the garrison of the North Gate and the Jiedu Mansion. Judge Gao and General Li are both people who understand righteousness and wholeheartedly recommend Dai Xiancheng. ”

From Xiang Xun's words, Liu Chengyou heard something strange and asked, "That Wang Shouen?" ”

His eyes flew forward, and Xiang Xun's expression showed a hint of contempt, telling him about the situation in the early morning.

After listening to Xiang Xun's description, Liu Chengyou was surprised, but his expression did not fluctuate. It's just that he recalled the performance of Wang Shouen under the city just now, and his eyes turned cold slightly.

"Your Royal Highness, Wang Shou'en is an official, although he has a small righteousness, but he is notorious and insatiable. This righteous act, before the whole work was completed, he wanted to occupy public funds for personal gain. Such a person has no great wisdom and bravery, but he has the heart of a villain, at this time, he needs to be vigilant to avoid any accidents......" Liu Chengyou was still thinking about it, and reminded Xun of his words.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's face was calm, but the corners of his mouth twitched, as if with a little contempt, and responded: "I know." ”

It's not too long a distance, and soon I arrived at Jiedu Mansion, looking around the courtyard, I can see a lot of messes that are still not finished, but fortunately, there is no scene like a robber crossing in the early morning.

Noticing Liu Chengyou's gaze, Gao Fang took the initiative to say: "When attacking the Shuaifu, Zhao Xingqian was stubborn and led people to resist, so there was such chaos. ”

If it weren't for Xiang Xun's early report, maybe Liu Chengyou would have really believed it. Glancing at Wang Shouen, and then at Gao Fang, this person seemed to have a bit of a meaning to protect Wang Shouen.

Later, the main hall of Jiedu Mansion was brightly lit, and a banquet to connect feelings began. There are not many people here, Luzhou Wenwu Wang, Gao, Li and several school officials, Liu Chengyou is here, Zhang Yanwei and Guo Rong are accompanied, plus a Xiang Xun. Others, he can arrange to take over the city and set up important places.

"My father raised troops in Jinyang to clear the world and save the world. The princes were not afraid of Hu Kou's power, and responded in Luzhou, which was an admirable act of great benevolence and bravery. The righteousness of the matter, so smoothly, is all due to you. I am here, to toast you with this wine, to show my respect...... "Today's Liu Chengyou, when he talks about these scenes, he is not uncomfortable at all.

It's just that the calm expression on the calm face, coupled with the flat tone, always makes the atmosphere a little awkward. Even so, Yigan is very face-saving.

With a cup of belly, Liu Chengyou swept the civil and military forces of Luzhou, especially Wang Shouen, Gao Fang, and Li Wanchao.

This time in Luzhou, it looks very easy and smooth, and even a little boring. However, just look at the origins of the three to know that Luzhou's obedience is predictable.

Wang Shouen, a native of Yushe, Liaozhou; Gao Fang, a native of Shouyang, Taiyuan; Li Wanchao, a native of Jinyang, Taiyuan...... Not to mention anything else, the "friendship" between the township parties is enough to bring them close to Jinyang. In addition, Liu Zhiyuan, who is also from the Hedong military general group, has a huge force, a strong army, and the strength to achieve great causes.

From the beginning of the city, Liu Chengyou basically recognized all the people, and at the banquet, he began to appease and win over the people's hearts while taking advantage of the not too high interest.

Looking at Wang Shouen, who had a slightly gloomy face, Liu Chengyou said slowly: "Wang Xun's family background is illustrious, and he has to be recommended by the soldiers of Luzhou, so the righteousness is so smooth." In that year, the king of Han (Wang Shouen's father established the title of king of Han) stood up and fought against the Khitan, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and his reputation was praised in China; Today, the king of the dynasty inspected and the Luzhou army, swayed righteousness, and resisted Hu Kou together, which really has the style of the king of Han. Two generations of father and son, the common enemy of the Khitan, spread out, it is also a good story......"

Liu Chengyou's praise of Wang Shouen is of course against his will, but if there is, even if it is hypocritical, he has to talk about it.

Feeling the meaning of "goodwill" in Liu Chengyou's words, Wang Shouen came to the spirit, and the smile on his face spread, without modesty, but said modest words: "Your Highness has praised falsely!" How dare the last general be compared with his father? ”

Probably thinking that Liu Chengyou was in a good mood and was so flattered by him, Wang Shouen's eyes rolled around twice, his face was pale, and he smiled at Liu Chengyou and said, "Your Highness, there will be something to be done at the end." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Liu Chengyou behaved very personly and stretched out his hand to signal.

Seeing this, Wang Shouen raised his eyebrows, stroked his neatly trimmed beard, and said: "Your Highness, in the morning, you will raise righteousness, kill Zhao Xingqian, control the whole city, and the soldiers of Luzhou have contributed a lot. Since ancient times, meritorious service should be rewarded, and there are still assets in the treasury, why don't Your Highness take it to comfort the hearts of the army, and the soldiers will be rewarded and will definitely die to serve......"

"In addition, before the Zhao thieves were rampant, collecting money from the soldiers and civilians in the city, so that the generals and officials in the city were poor and living in poverty, did His Highness also allocate one or two to relieve their embarrassment?"

Wang Shouen's words fell, and the hall suddenly quieted down, everyone present had different expressions, Gao Fang and Li Wanchao were surprised, Guo Rong was serious, Zhang Yanwei sneered, and Xiang Xun was disdainful......

As for Liu Chengyou, looking at Wang Shouen with a "serious" face, he couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh.

Sneer!

This is the first time Liu Chengyou has met this meritorious. Listening to Wang Shouen's words, and then taking into account his temperament, he kept asking for the lives of soldiers, generals, and officials, but in fact, he was also asking for rewards for himself. If the soldiers are all rewarded, then how can he be less of a righteous hero?

And looking at Wang Shouen's natural appearance, even with Liu Chengyou's mentality, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Wang Shouen seemed to be unconscious, waiting for Liu Chengyou's reaction with a little expectation. However, Liu Chengyou didn't speak for a while, his eyes were clear, staring at the wine glass in his hand, slowly picking it up, and taking a sip.

Knowing that Wang Shouen had invited him, he annoyed Liu Chengyou, and at this time, Gao Fang immediately raised his glass and said with a dry smile: "Your Highness, the king has drunk too much, this is a drunken word, don't care about it......"

Wang Shouen was already dissatisfied with the obstruction of Gao Wei in the early morning, but when he saw him say bad things about his financial future, his expression suddenly turned cloudy, and he was about to attack.

Liu Chengyou put down his wine glass at this time, looked at everyone in the hall, and said quietly: "I feel that what Wang Inspector said is true, and it is very reasonable. The soldiers have merit and should be rewarded; Let the officials be comforted when they suffer......"

Hearing this, Wang Shouen suddenly smiled, and said in a high voice: "Your Highness is wise!" ”
