Chapter 1074: Chess Fall (5)
Liu Feng glanced at Liu Sigu coldly, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing happened when the war is coming, it is really distressing, and it also makes us vigilant, the military advisor defended Zhang Guangsheng, and Weichen can also understand, after all, Zhang Guangsheng is a person recommended by the military advisor, a person is not a sage, who can be ruthless, and it is normal to have bias." ”
Liu Sigu couldn't help but said angrily: "What do you mean by Xiangguo's words, everyone talks about things, when did I have a bias?" ”
Liu Feng already knew Liu Sigu well, and knew that he was narrow and couldn't stand the grievances, so he angered Liu Sigu from the beginning, and he naturally had the upper hand.
Liu Feng ignored Liu Sigu, and continued to say to Zhu Zhu: "Your Majesty, judging from the report and all the evidence and testimony, Weichen can't see any loopholes, it's normal for Meihuawei to not find four boxes of gold, unless His Majesty demisses Zhang Guangsheng and authorizes Meihuawei, Meihuawei will never dare to search the mansion of the commander with 20,000 heavy soldiers, but as His Majesty said, the Jinwei Mansion will give Zhang Guangsheng a gift, and it will never be as simple as sending a few boxes of walnuts and dried fruits, the key is that Zhang Guangsheng accepted this gift, why did he accept the gift from the Jinwei Mansion?" ”
Liu Sigu hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Zhang Guangsheng's letter has been explained very clearly, he was not in the mansion at the time, it was accepted by the housekeeper without authorization, the other party was pretending to be a member of his hometown to give gifts, and after giving the gifts, the people ran away, but left the key evidence, it is clearly a false accusation, such an obvious scheme, Weichen believes that His Majesty will be able to see it, and even if he really wants to give a gift, it will be sent to Luoyang's house, how can it be sent to Kunguan?" ”
Liu Feng sneered, "The military advisor insists that it is a false accusation and a conspiracy, so speaking of which, what thing in the world is not a conspiracy?" If you succeed, don't mention anything, if you fail, you will deduct the hat of a conspiracy to exonerate yourself, if the military advisor must explain, I can also explain, the gold is easy to be found when it is sent to the Luoyang Mansion, the emperor is far away, he is in power, if someone doesn't tell him, who will know about it? ”
Liu Sigu was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Liu Feng and scolded: "You are a scoundrel, messing around!" ”
Zhu Zhu also saw that as long as the two of them were present at the same time, there was no conclusion to this matter, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm a little sleepy, you all retreat!" ”
The two Liu glared angrily, and each retreated, and Zhu Jun also returned to the inner palace, and he immediately ordered the eunuch to summon Liu Feng to the inner palace for interrogation.
.........
"Your Majesty, Weichen and Zhang Guangsheng have no personal grievances, and Weichen is completely considering the problem as Xiangguo."
In the inner study, without Liu Sigu's interference, Liu Feng began to calmly play the strategy he discussed with Yang Mi, and he had to clear himself out at the beginning, so that the Son of Heaven believed that he was thinking about the world's society.
"It is precisely because Zhang Guangsheng's duties are too important, and the pass he guards is related to the safety of Luoyang, that Weichen considers the worst side and does not dare to be careless."
These words are very beautiful, obviously talking about Zhu Jun's heart, Cuihan is indeed too important, and there is no room for mistakes.
"Aiqing thinks it's true that Guo Song gave Zhang Guangsheng a gift?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has always believed that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Guo Song's gift should be just a gift exchange for the New Year, and there is no special purpose, but there must have been a connection between them, otherwise Guo Song would not have given gifts so abruptly."
Zhu Jun pondered for a moment and said: "When Guo Song served as the governor of Ganzhou, Zhang Guangsheng served as the governor of Liangzhou, and the two must have old friends, so I asked him to go to Ganzhou to negotiate with Guo Song, and I also suspected that Guo Song had won over Zhang Guangsheng, so I never dared to reuse him."
But these are just suspicions, I have no evidence, and I also feel that the military advisor has a sentence that is right, if this is Guo Song's counter-plan, then I dismissed Zhang Guangsheng, wouldn't it be a trick? ”
Liu Feng laughed, "Zhang Guangsheng is not a valuable general, he is not Li Sheng, the general of Yum, and he has not fought against the Jin army, why is Guo Song jealous of him?" Why do you want to use countermeasures?
In my opinion, Zhang Guangsheng's biggest role for Guo Song is to let the Jin army capture Cuihan without hurting a single soldier, this is his value, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, Weichen has a way for Your Majesty to prove it. ”
"What's the solution?" Zhu Jun hurriedly asked.
"Weichen considers that if Zhang Guangsheng and Guo Song secretly collude, then he must have Guo Song's letters, under normal circumstances, these letters should be in his inner study, His Majesty can send a master to sneak into Zhang Guangsheng's study to see if he can find these letters, if he finds them, it is conclusive evidence, not some counter-plot."
"What if not?"
Zhu Jun asked rhetorically: "Can it be proved that he and Guo Song did not collude?" ”
"If you don't find it, then there are all kinds of possibilities, maybe those letters he carries with him, maybe he has destroyed them, maybe he really didn't collude, but out of prudence, even if he didn't find the letter, Weichen still suggested that Zhang Guangsheng be transferred away from Cuihan, it's really too important for Cuihan, there can't be a little luck, and at the same time, it is also good for Zhang Guangsheng himself, so as not to always have something unexplainable."
Zhu Jun pondered for a while and said: "Let's follow Xiangguo's plan!" ”
Zhu Jun was originally a person who relied on extraordinary means to get to the top, and using extraordinary means to check his courtiers was also in line with his style of doing things, and he immediately adopted Liu Feng's suggestion.
..........
Zhang Guangsheng's mansion is located in Wude Fang, which is also close to the imperial city, is a huge mansion covering an area of 80 acres, which was originally Wu Sansi's mansion, all kinds of buildings are majestic or ingenious, and the furnishings in the house are also extremely luxurious.
Zhang Guangsheng was a general before, and his status was noble, so he could get such a mansion, of course, Zhu Jun himself was more generous to the minister, he was not as standardized as Chang'an, the official house system was implemented, the property rights belonged to the imperial court, and the officials only had the right to live, and they had to hand over the house after retiring.
Zhu Jun directly gave the house to the minister and became the private residence of the official, and he did not consider whether the officials in the future would have a place to live.
Zhang Guangsheng also has the advantage of seniority, in the best part of Luoyang got a private house covering an area of 80 acres, which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, at present Zhang Guangsheng himself in Kunguan, this mansion lives his old wife and two sons, his two sons live in the east courtyard and the west courtyard, do not affect each other.
At night, a black shadow appeared in the back house of Zhang Guangsheng's house, the back house was very quiet, the area here was too large, there were basically no people, the man in black was very familiar with the layout of the Zhang family's mansion, and he ran all the way, and soon came to the back of an octagonal house.
This octagonal house is Zhang Guangsheng's inner study, and behind it is a small garden, and the man in black pried open the back window and jumped in.
The study was clean, spotless, and simply furnished, with only a desk and a bookcase, and an incense burner in the corner, so there was no other furniture.
The man in black quickly searched in the bookcase and desk, but found nothing, his eyes searched around again, and finally his gaze stopped on the top of the bookcase, on which there was a small bamboo box, which was within reach.
The man in black took down the bamboo box and opened it, it was full of letters, the man in black quickly rummaged through, there were five letters at the bottom, which were tied up with silk, and he looked at the cover carefully, and the man in black was immediately overjoyed, these five letters were exactly what he was looking for.
He took the letter into his arms, restored the room to its original state, turned it out of the same way, and left Zhang Guangsheng's back house without a sound.
………..
The next morning, when Zhu Jun put the five letters in front of Liu Sigu, Liu Sigu was speechless for a long time.
He let out a long sigh and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Guangsheng has been idle for many years, it is normal for Guo Song to want to recruit him, the key is that he did not betray His Majesty to Chang'an, it is normal for him to write a few letters, but he has not betrayed in action, and he is still very loyal to His Majesty." ”
Liu Feng unceremoniously retorted Liu Sigu and said: "Is it normal to communicate with Guo Song? Then why have I never received a letter from Guo Song, is it that the military advisor often corresponds with Guo Song? ”
Liu Sigu was very passive, so he had to hold back his anger and said: "Please Xiangguo don't take it out of context, I mean Zhang Guangsheng has been idle for many years, he is a capable person, it is normal for Guo Song to want to recruit him, but he did not go to Chang'an, which means that he did not betray the Son of Heaven!" ”
Liu Feng shook his head, "There are two possibilities for not going to Chang'an, one is that he asks for a price and the other party refuses to agree, and the other is that he doesn't need to go to Chang'an, and stays in Luoyang as Guo Song's internal response. ”
Liu Sigu was anxious, if Zhang Guangsheng was characterized as a rebel, then he, the recommender, would also be implicated, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven would no longer trust himself, and hurriedly said to Zhu Jun: "Your Majesty, Weichen understands Zhang Guangsheng's personality, he will never betray Your Majesty, and Weichen is willing to vouch for him with his life!" ”
Liu Sigu's words said that at this step, Zhu Zhu also had to give him some face, but if nothing happened, it was impossible, Zhu Zhu pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Guangsheng has rich experience in leading troops, not only in combat, but also in training, so let's do it!" I appointed him as the Xingyang Observer Envoy to be responsible for the training of recruits, so that he would no longer be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, what does the military advisor think? ”
Liu Sigu also knew that it was impossible for Zhang Guangsheng to stay in Kunguan anymore, with Zhu Jun's temper, Zhang Guangsheng dared to communicate with Guo Song in private, even if he didn't die, he would be imprisoned and severely punished, and now he actually changed his position, and the Son of Heaven was obviously giving himself face.
Liu Sigu was moved in his heart, bowed down and cried: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity!" ”
"Let's go first! I will discuss some other matters with Xiangguo. ”
Zhu Jun saw that Liu Feng was about to explode, so he hurriedly sent Liu Sigu away first, and when Liu Sigu left, Zhu Jun said coldly to Liu Feng: "You don't have to be so annoyed, I know better than you, I am afraid that Zhang Guangsheng will rebel, so I will stabilize him first, and when he returns to Luoyang, I will clean him up." ”
Liu Feng suddenly gave a thumbs up and said: "Your Majesty is clever, and Weichen is not as good as just in case!" ”
Zhu Jun narrowed his eyes and squinted: "What I hate most is betrayal, and those who dare to betray me, I will never let go!" ”
Liu Feng put down his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, can the new Lord of Kunguan allow Weichen to recommend?" ”
Zhu Jun nodded, "Say it!" ”
