Chapter 209: The Wise Man and the Fool (Part II)
The book is picked up again.
Li Zhi looked at Wang Yuan, who was shouting loudly, and said in a low voice: "Don't shout, it's useless, Your Majesty has abandoned you!" ”
Wang Yuan was shocked when he heard this, so he hurriedly changed his words and begged Li Zhi for mercy: "The hussar general spares his life, as long as the hussar general can spare his life, in the future, only the hussar general's order will be obeyed!" ”
Hearing this, Li Zhiyan shook his head and whispered to Wang Yuan: "For Ben Hou, a dead Wang Yuan is more useful than a living Wang Yuan!"
Okay, without further ado, let's hit the road! ”
After speaking, he ignored Wang Yuan's pleading look, and stabbed Wang Yuan in the chest with a sword.
"Poof..."
"Hmmm! Forehead... Ah......h
After Wang Yuan was pierced through the chest by Li Zhi's sword, he stared at Li Zhi deadly, wanting to say something in his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, and then, with a kick of his legs, he drove back to the west.
After Wang Yuan died, Li Zhi pulled out the snake sword from Wang Yuan's chest, wiped it clean on Wang Yuan's body, and put it into the sheath.
Subsequently, Li Zhi saw Wang Yuan's unpretentious expression and felt a little infiltrating, so he kicked Wang Yuan over, making him face down.
At this moment, Emperor Han Ling walked over from a distance.
Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, the minister took it upon himself to kill Wang Yuan, and asked Your Majesty to punish him." ”
Emperor Han Ling waved his hand indifferently: "In this case, punish the hussar general for a month, so be it." ”
As he spoke, Emperor Han Ling looked at Wang Yuan's corpse, smashed his mouth, and said with regret: "I don't care too much about this person's life or death.
But after he died, there was no one to find money for me, which is a pity. ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he was about to reply, but he saw a chamberlain running over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
The ministers of the court and the central government all gathered at the gate of the palace, wanting to see His Majesty, their faces were very ugly, presumably something big had happened! ”
When Liu Hong heard this, he was surprised, he didn't know what happened to these ministers coming to him, but since these ministers came together, something big must have happened.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong didn't dare to slack off, and said to the waiter: "Quickly release it!" ”
After the waiter left, Li Zhi looked at the back of the waiter thoughtfully: "Presumably Duke Lu has already acted, so fast." ”
After a while, hundreds of ministers walked towards this side with a fierce momentum.
When Lu Zhi and the others came over, they found a corpse face down.
But they didn't pay much attention to this, it was a common thing to die in the palace, maybe one of the chamberlains made a mistake.
After Liu Hong saw the menacing formation of Lu Zhi and the others, his brows furrowed.
There is no need to be reminded by others, Liu Hongguang knows from looking at this situation that these ministers are probably coming at him this time.
After those ministers came closer, Liu Hong looked at the ministers in front of him carefully, and found that they were all civil ministers, and the generals such as the general He Jin did not come.
Seeing this, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and things finally did not develop in the worst direction.
After those people came closer, Lu Zhi and Yuan Feng came out of the crowd and said in unison to Liu Hong: "Minister Lu Zhi (Yuan Feng) has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe." ”
Seeing this, Liu Hong didn't dare to slack off, and said weakly: "The two Qing families should get up."
I don't know what is the important matter for the two ministers to bring these ministers here? ”
Lu Zhi was the first to speak: "Your Majesty please close the Money and Finance Department and severely punish Wang Yuan, the captain of the Money and Finance Department!" ”
As soon as Lu Zhi's words fell, Yuan Feng continued to say: "This is also the intention of the minister, this money and wealth department is rampant and domineering, and it has disturbed the people in Beijing, and there has been chaos!" I hope Your Majesty will deal with it impartially! ”
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Liu Hong frowned tightly.
He didn't know how much Wang Yuan had been in the capital, so he ordered these ministers to come together.
You must know that these ministers made a fuss in the court some time ago, but now they came together, which shows that Wang Yuan has indeed gone too far.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong scolded Wang Yuan in his heart
But he didn't want to shut down the money department.
So Liu Hong said to Lu Zhi and the others: "It's okay to kill the king, but it's not okay to close the Money Division!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi and the others shouted in unison: "If Your Majesty doesn't care about the Money and Finance Department, I'm afraid that there will be trouble in Beijing!" ”
"It's not that serious, is it?" General Liu Hong asked suspiciously: "The Money and Finance Department has only been established for half a month, how can it cause such serious consequences?" ”
"Your Majesty!" When Lu Zhi heard this, he burst into tears, and took out a brocade silk from his arms, which was stained with blood.
With a trembling hand, Lu Zhi handed the brocade silk to Liu Hong, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, this is the blood letter of dozens of ministers.
They were originally all self-serving, but because their families had little money, they were raided by the Money and Finance Department under false names.
Not only that, but there are also many wives and daughters in the minister's family, all of whom were captured by the Money and Finance Department, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead! ”
"This..."Liu Hong was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he also received two beauties from Wang Yuan in his own harem, and these two beauties were probably the wives and daughters of those ministers.
Liu Hong didn't dare to say this, because he was afraid that after he said it, these ministers would give him a hard time in public, after all, he himself knew that what he did was indeed a bit ridiculous.
Seeing that Liu Hong was in a dilemma, Li Zhi, who was standing on the side, quietly stepped forward and whispered to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, you might as well close the Money and Finance Division first."
In fact, after Wang Yuan's death, we didn't have any talents in our hands, and this money and wealth department was useless.
In this case, it is better to shut it up first, so as to appease the ministers, lest they do any evil in the excitement of the masses. ”
Hearing this, Liu Hong thought for a while, then nodded, he also understood that this money department was afraid that he would not be able to keep it.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong sighed wistfully, and said weakly to the ministers: "That's it, I have agreed to the request of the Qing family!" ”
The ministers were overjoyed when they heard this, and a few old ministers who had been raided by the Money Department were even more crying.
However, Yuan Feng, who was on the side, was not happy.
Yuan Feng saw that Li Zhi could not only get close to Liu Hong easily, but also changed Liu Hong's mind just by saying a few words to Liu Hong, which shows that Li Zhi's status in Liu Hong's heart is very high.
And Li Zhi and Yuan Feng did not agree with these families, which made him sad.
Yuan Feng lamented in his heart: "This Li Zhi is too difficult to deal with, right?!"
Not only is he favored in front of His Majesty, but he also has military power in his hands, and there are tens of thousands of his troops outside the city, neither soft nor hard!
What the hell should I do to suppress him?! ”
Although Yuan Feng knew that the armies outside the city were not Li Zhi's direct subordinates, they could be regarded as having been born and died with Li Zhi.
Li Zhi is now a hussar general, and he has the power to command the world's soldiers and horses, and those soldiers must also obey his dispatch, so the people of the family never dare to force Li Zhi, they are afraid of forcing Li Zhi to be in a hurry.
Although the people of the family slandered Li Zhi everywhere, they had to admit that Li Zhi's strategy and way of commanding the army were very powerful, and no one in the family could control him.
While Yuan Feng was thinking wildly, Lu Zhi and the others, after being happy for a while, suddenly thought of Wang Yuan, and asked Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, what should Wang Yuan do?" I hope Your Majesty will make it clear. ”
"Wang Yuan?" Liu Hong sneered, pointed to the corpse on the side and said, "That's Wang Yuan, go see for yourself, if you feel still angry, drag him back and eat it!" ”
Liu Hong's tone was a little impulsive when he spoke, but because he was forced by the ministers to close the Money Division, he felt a little unhappy.
As soon as Liu Hong's words fell, one of them quickly ran to Wang Yuan's side, turned him over, and when he saw that this person was Wang Yuan, the person was instantly stunned.
Then the man cried out in a mournful voice, "My son...... Why did you go for your father's sake!! ”
Li Zhi heard the sound and looked at it, isn't this Wang Yun?
Although Li Zhi didn't know how Wang Yun, who had no official and no lord, came in, it was none of his business, so he didn't talk too much.
At this moment, Wang Yun suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Zhi, his eyes full of questioning.
Li Zhi turned his head a little embarrassed, not daring to look at Wang Yun, after all, he had promised Wang Yun to spare Wang Yuan's life.
However, things did not develop as Li Zhi thought, and Wang Yuan was too dead, and it was no longer possible not to kill him, so Li Zhi could only break his promise.
However, Li Zhi confirmed his original idea through Wang Yun's shouting just now: "This Wang Yuan is really Wang Yun's son, and Wang Yun, the old horseman, is really worthy of his brother!" ”
At this moment, Lu Zhi glanced at Wang Yuan with disdain, and after snorting at Wang Yuan's corpse, he asked Liu Hong: "I don't know what Wang Yuan committed to make Your Majesty so angry?" ”
Liu Hong was speechless by Lu Zhi's question, and he was speechless.
Liu Hong couldn't tell Lu Zhi that this Wang Yuan exposed his shortcomings everywhere and shouted at his ugly things, so he was angry and ashamed, so he acquiesced in Li Zhi's killing of Wang Yuan, right?
Seeing that Liu Hong was speechless, Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him and said: "The little nephew has seen Duke Lu, and Wang Yuan was killed by the little nephew himself!" ”
"Oh?" When Lu Zhi heard this, he looked at Li Zhi and asked curiously, "I don't know why the virtuous nephew wanted to kill Wang Yuan?" ”
Lu Zhi didn't blame Li Zhi, no one wanted Wang Yuan to die more than him.
Lu Zhi originally wanted to deal with Wang Yuan openly to appease the emotions of the ministers in the city, but now that Wang Yuan is dead, the effect is greatly reduced, so Lu Zhi has this question.
When Li Zhi heard this, he said with resentment: "This Wang Yuan really deserves to die!"
The little nephew had nothing to do today, so he went to the military camp of the Northern Army to inspect it, but found that this Wang Yuan was drinking and having fun with the beautiful woman he robbed.
Seeing this, the little nephew was furious in his heart, so he cut off his right hand with a sword as a punishment.
But he didn't want to, he was still not convinced, so he took his little nephew to the palace to complain to His Majesty.
But this Wang Yuan was too rampant, and after coming to the palace, he didn't put His Majesty in his eyes, just because His Majesty said a few heavy words, he insulted His Majesty loudly, and the little nephew was angry, and he killed Wang Yuan with a sword. ”
As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, he saw Wang Yun walking straight here.
After walking to Li Zhi's side, Wang Yun stared at Li Zhi and shouted: "Li Xingzhi! Didn't you promise the old man to ......?"
"Shut up!" Before Wang Yun finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly by Li Zhi: "This is the forbidden place of the palace, how can you allow this old man with no official position to be so noisy?"
Your Majesty, please take down this old puppet who broke into the palace and deal with it heavily! ”
As he spoke, Li Zhi quietly winked at Liu Hong.
Although Liu Hong didn't understand what he meant, he also nodded.
Compared with Wang Yun, Liu Hong trusts Li Zhi more, since Li Zhi asked him to pick up Wang Yun, it must have his intentions, so Liu Hong chose to believe Li Zhi.
So, Liu Hong commanded the guards on the side: "Someone! Take this old puppet down with me! Imprisoned. ”
"Your Majesty!" Wang Yun looked at Liu Hong in disbelief, his eyes full of despair.
Those guards didn't care what Wang Yun was thinking, they quickly stepped forward, grabbed him, and dragged him out.
Wang Yun finally came back to his senses at this time, looked at Li Zhi and shouted: "Li Xingzhi! You don't talk about ......"
"Smack!" Before Wang Yun could finish speaking, Li Zhi rushed forward with an arrow and gave him a slap in the face, interrupting his next words.
"You..."
"Smack!"
"I..."
"Smack!"
"The old man wants..."
"Smack!"
"Your Majesty, you want..."
"Smack!"
Whenever Wang Yun was about to speak, he was slapped by the expressionless Li Zhi.
After a dozen slaps, Wang Yun didn't dare to speak anymore, just looked at Li Zhi with hatred.
After those guards pressed Wang Yun down, Li Zhi also breathed a long sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Wang Yun would be angry and tell their original agreement.
At this moment, a voice came from behind Li Zhi: "Hussar General is so majestic......
