Chapter 6: Night Talk
The bell leak is getting deeper.
Duan Jiangbei still persuaded bitterly, and said: "Wind Lord, even if Xu You has to deal with six days, but we have made it very clear when we were in Chang'an last time, Six Days has nothing to do with Fengmen, Xu You is a promise, and he will not risk fighting on the third front and become an enemy with us......
"Xu You may be able to believe it, but in addition to Xu You, there is also the imperial court. Once the six days are destroyed, as long as a few important people are caught, the wind gate will have nothing to hide, and it will be too late to break it into zero. The result of today's court meeting, as you know, Xu You's resignation and retreat as advance shows that his position in the court is not as stable as it seems on the surface, and even temporarily falls behind......
Duan Jiangbei was persuaded, he thought about it, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you send someone to secretly inform the mountains?" After all, the wind gate and the six heavens have been in the same breath for more than 100 years......"
The Wind Lord chuckled again and said, "What do you think Xu You meant when he saw you today?" First, he warned the damper not to interfere, and secondly, the layout tested the sincerity of the damper. If you dare to inform the mountain in private, this catastrophe will not only be impossible to avoid for six days, but the wind gate will also become a funeral object. ”
Duan Jiangbei doubted: "Does the Wind Lord attach too much importance to Xu You?" He rose too fast, the foundation was unstable, and the Xu family withered like this, even if he chose to marry the Zhang family very smartly, but the Zhang family is not the Xu family after all, and the help he can get is also very limited, plus the ministers are naturally enemies with military generals and relatives, he is in both positions, Xie Xiwen and others can't wait to make a difficulty, it can be seen that the contradictions between the two sides are almost irreconcilable. Internal and external troubles, embattled, whether Xu You can survive this hurdle is still between what is possible and indispensable, and how can he have the courage to go against the wind gate? ”
"Nope! We have despised him for too long, we have only just begun to pay attention to him, and we have not paid enough attention to him! The wind lord's rare tone became serious, and said: "Jiangbei, remember my words, from tonight onwards, if it is not for the life and death of the Fengmen's survival, everything will try to stand on Xu You's side, whether the Fengmen will continue to grow in the next hundred years, or disappear, it is likely to depend on the snort of this General Xu......"
Duan Jiangbei was shocked in his heart, the wind lord actually had such a high opinion of Xu You, and said, "Won't this be too long?" Fengmen has existed for hundreds of years, how can the rise and fall of one person affect our life and death? ”
"Not so! Buddhism is older and more powerful than the wind gate, but the monks and masters of all generations have said, 'If you don't rely on the lord of the country, it will be difficult to establish the Dharma.' In the final analysis, if the monarchy is divinely granted, and if the sect is not attached to the monarchy, it cannot legally share the divine power, and if it cannot share the divine power, naturally there are no believers, and if there are no believers, how can they preach and propagate the Dharma? Therefore, if you want to establish a religion, you must choose people to rely on, and as long as you choose the right people, it is very important to the development of the sect. Zhu Daorong chose to rely on An Zidao, and Buddhism flourished from decline, but after An Xiuming ascended the throne, he ordered the destruction of Buddhism, and Buddhism took a sharp turn, and decades of painstaking management were destroyed overnight. The same is true of Heavenly Master Dao, who followed An Shiyu to pacify Jiangdong and began a hundred years of prosperity, but a son made a mistake and bet on An Xiuming, so what now? But if you think about it the other way around, what if Buddhism or Heavenly Master Dao chooses An Xiulin? ”
The wind lord behind the curtain sighed softly and said: "The reason why I pushed the wind gate out of the six days back then was that I saw that the six days were completely on the wrong path, and the great God did not attach himself to the emperor, did not attach himself to the crown prince, and did not choose to support a certain prince to seize the heir, but prepared to rebel and seek the country with one heart...... Ha, ridiculous! Since the Yellow Turban Army, has there been a precedent for gathering the lowest level of the people to successfully rebel? If you can't get the approval of the majority of scholars, you can fight the world by relying on those foolish people and foolish women who shout 'six days of practice, three religions will govern and prosper'? Du Mingyu learned from the past, but he couldn't awaken the emperor's dream of the Great God......"
Duan Jiangbei said respectfully: "The wind lord is far-sighted, and no one in the world can match it!" He paused and said, "But Xu You is only a general, and he was dismissed......
The wind lord laughed and said, "If Xie Xiwen and the others continue to suppress like this, how far apart will they be from the general?" ”
Duan Jiangbei was surprised: "What does the Wind Lord mean, Xu You will usurp the throne and stand on his own?" ”
There was a long silence.
The wind lord's voice was full of admiration, and said: "I used to be optimistic about Xu You, only when he was in a high position and power, he couldn't be an enemy easily, but I didn't have to care too much about his every move. But today, in the face of the unreasonable impeachment of the civil ministers, this great general can bend and stretch, advance and retreat, not fight for a while, and make a decision when he is decided, which is really not like the behavior that a minister should have. You must know that Xu You is not one of those generals who have no real power, the Cuiyu Army and the Chifeng Army, the two hundred battle heroes, are his descendants, and they are firmly controlled in their own hands through the Supervision of the Military Division, in addition to his orders, I dare to say that the emperor cannot command, plus he has just made the unparalleled achievement of opening up the territory and opening up the territory, even if it is me, in the face of the impeachment of the ministers, it is estimated that I will be angry, who would have thought that Xu You would be able to use the clever plan of resigning......"
"Brilliant idea?"
"First, it can make the emperor feel guilty, second, it can appease the impatience of the ministers, third, it can get the sympathy and support of the army, and fourth, it is also his most important layout, which can paralyze the Six Heavens and the Heavenly Master...... The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, and no one thinks that the imperial court, which has just had a fierce political fight, will send troops...... The soldier is treacherous, and the time that no one else thinks is the best time! The wind lord said: "Xu You's perseverance, vision, and strictness of the city government are far beyond his peers, not to mention that he is now in a general trend, Xie Xiwen and others are used as cars, not only can they not suppress their arrogance, but they will be self-defeating, forcing him to take that last step!" ”
Duan Jiangbei said: "However, I think Xu You has no disobedience to him, and the emperor and him are quite ......."
"Perhaps, but can you guarantee that no one in his trilogy wants to support it? What is potential? When the momentum is great, others can't compete, and Xu You himself can't compete! ”
The wind lord's voice gradually faded away, and said: "Although no trace of Qingming has been found, I guess he should have gone outside, this field villa can no longer be used, you leave later, send out the wind signal and go back to Guangzhou directly to rest, the people of the secret mansion may follow, as long as you don't move, they can't find what they want, after a while, they will naturally withdraw......"
Qingming returned to Changgan, Xu You smiled and said, "Found it?" ”
"Found it, it's confirmed that it's Danyang Ge's other house!"
"At the beginning, Zhu Yuanying confessed that the wind lord of the wind gate was Ge Songqiao, this person was nicknamed Xiao Xian Weng, who left the Ge family many years ago and joined the six days to become the master of the wind gate, tonight's play, the front and back are right......"
"Lang Jun is saying that Ge Songqiao is actually not the wind lord? The wind gate was expected to track me down, so he deliberately exposed this Tianshu, thus verifying Zhu Yuanying's confession and misleading us to regard Ge Songqiao as the wind master? ”
"Quite possibly! A dead person, how to find out? Xu You said: "However, Fengmen is a friend that can be won over, let the secret mansion follow Duan Jiangbei first, as long as they keep their promise and do not interfere in the six-day situation, I am not curious about who the wind lord is!" ”
The news of Xu You's resignation as a general reached the army that was on the way to the division, and it exploded instantly, not to mention the Cuiyu Army and the Jingzhou Army, even the Chinese army was mostly filled with righteous indignation.
Felling Liang and resisting Wei made Xu You's prestige in the army unparalleled!
But blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and this point has also become a breakthrough for political enemies to frame up!
Tan Xiaozu, who temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, quickly met with Tan Zhuo, Zuo Yan, Cao Qing and others to discuss countermeasures. If the three armies do not advance, the delay in returning is small, but if the news reaches Jinling, it will increase the suspicion of the imperial court against Xu You, and it will also affect the main generals of each army.
Zuo Yan had already received Xu You's letter, and he knew the situation in Jinling well, so he immediately expressed his position and said, "The Cuiyu army resolutely obeys the orders of the Lord and General Tan!" ”
Although Cao Qing was deeply dissatisfied with Xu You's sudden dismissal, even a confidant like Zuo Yan didn't dare to be a thorn in the face, he couldn't be too out of line, and said sullenly: "Me too." ”
Tan Xiaozu looked at Tan Zhuo, Tan Zhuo nodded, and said: "It has been ascertained that there are nineteen captains and generals above the rank of military marquis involved in this incident, and the Supervision Department is doing its best to appease the soldiers, so there should be no major problem." ”
Tan Xiaozu said: "Twenty-nine people? Who is the mastermind? ”
"Liu Duo!"
"The people of the Liu clan ......" Tan Xiaozu felt quite troubled, thought for a while, and said: "Is Liu Duo acting personally, or is he instigated?" ”
The implication is that Liu Duo is likely to be instructed by the Liu clan lord to incite the soldiers to make trouble, so as to confirm Xu You's crime.
Zuo Yan said: "Liu Duo, I still dare to protect it, I am not afraid of death in battle, I am smart, he respects the general very much, it is estimated that he is a person who is excited for a while, and he can't talk about other ......."
Tan Xiaozu pushed the boat down the river and said, "In this case, what do you think should be done?" "He is only temporarily replacing Xu You's position, and he has no intention of replacing him, so he generally uses collective decisions.
Tan Zhuo said with a smile: "Young people are impulsive, it's not a big deal, I suggest a little punishment to make them realize their mistakes." ”
Zuo Yan also meant this, and Cao Qing would not be embarrassed, so he discussed and decided that the five officials led by Liu Duo and others would be demoted by two levels, fined for one year, and confined for five days together with the rest of the people according to the Cui Dian.
This disposition is not painful, and it can even be said to be quite conniving, but given Liu Duo's identity, everything can be explained - no one wants to offend the Liu family.
After the active work of the Supervision Department, the doubts and grievances in the hearts of many soldiers were dispelled, and the army finally marched again after a day and a night's stagnation, and soon arrived at the Yangtze River, sailed westward, and saw Jinling City in sight from afar.
I went to the country for more than 3,000 miles, and today, I finally came back!
