Chapter 128: Scrambling
It's just that Wang Zhaoling has long found out that he is not a saint, he knows very well that there are many people who hate him to the core, and must put him to death, in the past, he was able to survive and rise step by step because of Zhang Xianzhong.
But now that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, the only person in this world who can save his life is the Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi.
As long as this Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi raised his noble hand, he could not only save his life but also enjoy glory and wealth, and even enjoy the highest honor after death and have the long-term wealth of several generations, so he suddenly felt that it was a very correct choice to move closer to Liu Yongxi.
And Xu Zhen was also bitterly persuading Wang Zhaoling: "Wang Gongzi, you are indeed the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom, but you must understand that there are a few people in the Xiying who put you as the prime minister in their eyes, Zhang Xianzhong is no longer there, if you can't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid you will die without a place to be buried!" ”
Although he felt that Xu Zhen was exaggerating, Wang Zhaoling also knew that the four generals led by Sun Kewang did not take themselves seriously, and more importantly, if it were not for the loyal battalion and the Yue Ming army to come to the city, I am afraid that Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo would have started to purge a long time ago, and the first to be purged were him and Empress Chen.
After all, it is impossible for these martial artists to bow their heads to the so-called "Daxi Imperial Court" composed of Empress Chen and Wang Zhaoling, and in this situation, they must turn around in time: "General Xu is right, and I don't have too many requirements, I just want to be able to return to my hometown in Tongcheng to be a rich man!" ”
Xu Zhen laughed: "Wang Gongzi, since you have been the prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom, how can you go back to Tongcheng to be a rich man, in fact, as long as Wang Gongzi is willing to be loyal to the imperial court, he can naturally rise to prominence, and the imperial court has a lot of places to borrow you!" ”
Wang Zhaoling is now infamous, not only the Sichuan people hate him to the core, but even Daxiying feels that he is a drag, so Xu Zhen said that he naturally became interested: "Where can the imperial court use a useless scholar like me?" ”
Xu Zhen immediately laughed: "Since Wang Gongzi has thunder means, His Majesty needs a character with an iron fist like you!" ”
As soon as Xu Zhen said this, Wang Zhaoling has already understood, the name of the Chengtian Dynasty is ZTE, and it is really a business, naturally there are many characters that Liu Yongxi hates to the bone and is not good at openly ruthlessly killing people, and Wang Zhaoling, the butcher, is exactly the talent that Liu Yongxi needs the most: "Thank you General Xu, you are really a person who wakes up in a dream, just do what you want, but I have to take care of General Xu in the future!" ”
He is now determined to move closer to Liu Yongxi and the Yue Ming Dynasty in an all-round way, no longer considering the overall interests of the Great Western Army, but caring about personal interests and losses, and repositioning himself to strive to turn his biggest disadvantage into the biggest advantage, and Xu Zhen also said very clearly: "Then we have to quickly send the four noble concubines over, now they are real romantic figures, as long as we can make Your Majesty happy, you and my brother will be prosperous and rich for several lifetimes!" ”
In fact, Xu Zhen only saw Liu Yongxi for the first time yesterday, and only knew that there was such an emperor as Liu Yongxi more than a month ago, but in a tone that had followed Liu Yongxi for many years: "Yes, as long as we rush to send the four ladies over in front of the four generals, we will naturally have the upper hand in the court in the future!" ”
Wang Zhaoling immediately laughed: "General Xu, don't worry, Sun Kewang just sent someone to bring me a message, saying that he wants to fight with Bai Wenxuan, and must ensure that the interests of the Xiying group are not damaged, and we will have the absolute upper hand in front of them as long as we go over now!" ”
Xu Zhen also definitely made a great contribution himself: "It's so good, then I'm relieved!" ”
It's just that when they really arrived at the imperial camp of Emperor Chengtian Liu Yongxi, Xu Zhen and Wang Zhaoling were a little embarrassed, and what was even more embarrassing was Bai Wenxuan and the four generals behind him.
And the four queens and Wang Zhaoling didn't expect that Bai Wenxuan, Sun Kewang, and Li Dingguo were still talking about fighting with the Yue Ming Dynasty and the loyal camp on the basis of reason, and as soon as they turned around, they came to meet Liu Yongxi in person, obviously selling Wang Zhaoling and the four queens directly.
The four queens were particularly angry, they originally wanted to continue to be queens in the Chengtian Dynasty with reference to the story of Empress Gao of the Loyal Camp, but Wang Zhaoling told them that they could only guarantee the concubine position, and whether they could become concubines depended on whether they could serve Emperor Chengtian well, and they all had a dark fire in their hearts when they heard the news.
But seeing Bai Wenxuan, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu running to Liu Yongxi's camp without even saying hello, they were obviously preparing to completely betray their interests with the Great Western Dynasty, so the anger in their hearts also turned to Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang, and Empress Chen was the first to speak: "Since the four generals are here, let's go with the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
Xu Zhen and Wang Zhaoling were not good at turning their faces with Bai Wenxuan and Sun Kewang, and now they saw Empress Chen with a dragon and phoenix crown walking unceremoniously in the front, and the three queens Ding, Liu, and Bai also followed, so they were naturally overjoyed: "Generals, let's go to see His Majesty the Emperor together!" ”
Wang Zhaoling really didn't expect these martial artists to play such tricks with him, but he was planted in it a little bit later, so he immediately made up his mind: "No matter what conditions Emperor Chengtian proposes, I will agree to it, anyway, this is Zhang Xianzhong's country, his four righteous sons don't feel sorry for this foundation, what kind of distress do I have as an outsider, I can sell it for as much price as I want, as long as I can get more benefits!" ”
And Sun Kewang didn't expect to bump into Wang Zhaoling in the imperial camp of Emperor Chengtian, but their anger was deeper, Sun Kewang whispered to the four generals around him: "When we meet Your Majesty, we can't sit still, don't think that he Wang Zhaoling can toss any tricks after coercing the four queen mothers, after all, we warriors have the final say!" ”
And Empress Chen, who was walking in the forefront, gritted her silver teeth, she glanced at the three queens who were traveling with her, and they all felt that they had to behave well today to make Emperor Chengtian satisfied, so that they could have a good life in the future, as for the long-term problems of Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Dynasty, they didn't need to care about them at all, they just needed to take care of themselves.
Although a group of bigwigs at the top of the Great Western Dynasty were gathered in the imperial camp, none of them were willing to think about the long-term interests of the Great Western Dynasty, let alone sacrifice their personal interests to fight for the overall interests of the Great Western Army.
"Zhang Xianzhong's four queens, as well as Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling, Zhengdong General Sun Kewang, Anxi General Li Dingguo, Funan General Ai Nengqi, and Dingbei General Ai Nengqi all came to see? Now out of the camp? ”
Liu Yongxi was obviously taken aback when he heard the news, although after Zhang Xianzhong's death, the Great Western Army was close to collapse, and the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, if Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi insisted on breaking through, the Yue Ming Army would not only have to pay huge casualties, but also there must be a part of the Great Western Army that could break through the encirclement and become the mortal enemy of the Yue Ming Army, after all, the Great Western Army still held out for nearly 20 years in history.
Now that Wang Zhaoling and the four generals have taken the initiative to meet their emperors, it naturally means that the problem of the Great Western Army has been completely solved, but Mrs. Xing couldn't help but secretly sneer when she saw the smile on the corner of Liu Yongxi's mouth: "Husband, Zhang Xianzhong, these four queens are not fuel-efficient lamps, Zhang Xianzhong has been going downhill since he entered Sichuan!" ”
She originally thought that her position as queen must be nine out of ten, and Liu Yongxi also made a very clear promise, who would have thought that at this juncture, Zhang Xianzhong's four queens would appear to compete for favor with her, which made her feel a little psychologically unbalanced all of a sudden.
Liu Yongxi said very calmly: "The reason why I am happy is because I am happy to get a famous general, and not because of Zhang Xianzhong's few women, as long as I open my mouth in today's status, is there still a shortage of women?" Besides, they can only be concubines at most, how can they be compared to Queen Xing and Sister Xing! ”
Liu Yongxi was naturally very happy when he said this, but Empress Gao on the other side heard the overtone in Liu Yongxi's words: "Your Majesty actually has such a high opinion of Li Dingguo?" In terms of ability and qualifications, he is far inferior to Sun Kewang! ”
She knew that her husband was indeed a man of destiny, and many of the judgments she made were the wisest decisions although they seemed completely unreasonable at the time, just like the example of killing Zhang Xianzhong before the battle, but Empress Gao still didn't understand why Liu Yongxi chose Li Dingguo.
Although among Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, Li Dingguo is obviously stronger than Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, but in terms of prestige, status, and ability, Sun Kewang is a well-deserved first person, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that Sun Kewang is indeed not a suitable candidate.
After all, Sun Kewang's status in the Great Western Army is too high and his ability is too strong, and he is already the de facto heir when Zhang Xianzhong died in battle and left no inheritance, if he is not forced into a desperate situation, it is entirely possible for him to completely master the Great Western Army, whether it is Wang Zhaoling, Empress Chen or Li Dingguo, they are not his opponents.
Liu Yongxi asked him to pacify Yunnan is already lenient, and Li Dingguo has become the best choice to command the rest of the Great Western Army, but just as the remnants of the Great Shun Army have become the three branches of the Loyal Battalion, the Loyal Town and the Loyal Brigade, the Great Western Army will definitely go to the east and west, so Li Dingguo will not be able to master all the remnants of the Great Western Army.
But even this is enough to make Empress Gao and Mrs. Xing pay attention to this Li Dingguo, and Empress Gao asked: "Your Majesty, our loyal battalion has the greatest credit for the earliest expedition, but now that the country has taken Huguang, the governor of Huguang has already designated Wang Sun Fan, and the governor of Sichuan is Yang Zhan, and let Li Dingguo lead the rest of Xiying, is our loyal camp a little wronged!" ”
