Chapter 1068: Book of Surrender
Li Zhongyi has no intention of persuading Fu Zhaoxin to surrender, Fu Zhaoxin is both the uncle of the country and the general of the defeated army, if he surrenders now, how can he gain a foothold in the world in the future?
Of course, Li Zhongyi did not have the stupid idea of killing Fu Zhaoxin. Objectively speaking, killing the enemy's unified army will only increase the resistance of the Li family's army to the west, and there will be no benefit at all, and the wise man will not do anything.
What's more, Fu Zhaoxin is the prototype of the Li Jiajun, the first commander of the Broken Army, with this layer of origin, not only can he not be killed, but he needs more preferential treatment.
Fu Zhaoxin's capture is actually full of drama. When the city gate was broken down, Fu San led the Fu generals and desperately brought Fu Zhaoxin back to the Commander's Mansion.
At that time, Fu Zhaoxin was knocked unconscious by the tiles that slipped from the city gate tower. When the Li family army attacked the Commander's Mansion, Fu San heard the shout of "capture Fu Zhaoxin alive" and simply gave up resistance.
In this way, Fu Zhaoxin, the chief of the Jingdong Road march of the imperial court and the governor of Bozhou, fell into the hands of Li Zhongyi.
After Li Zhongyi's acupuncture diagnosis and treatment, Fu Zhaoxin woke up smoothly. However, Fu Zhaoxin was severely concussed, and Li Zhongyi was not sure that it would be cured in the future.
After all, the medical conditions of this era were very backward, and the brain was the most complex organ of human beings. Even if modern CT, MRI and other advanced examination methods are available, no one dares to say that they fully understand the sequelae of severe concussion.
"Brother Xincheng, since Li is interested in unifying China and recovering Youyun, he must take Kaifeng City. If there is any offense, look at Haihan. Li Zhongyi saw that Fu Zhaoxin was still pretending to be asleep, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly picked out the meaning, "Presumably Brother Xincheng should know very well in his heart that with Li's military strength, if he wants to take Kaifeng, he doesn't dare to say that it is easy, at least he is ninety percent sure." If you want to save the lives of Sister Ling and nephew, Li has only one request, to completely protect my eldest brother Jing Shenggong. ”
Li Zhongyi threw down this sentence, turned around and left, there was no need to say too much.
Fu Zhaoxin is an extremely rare person who understands, the rapid fall of Bozhou, the 50,000 elite forbidden troops of the imperial court, or in the state of defending the city, the whole army was wiped out in one day, such a fiasco should be able to wake him up.
As the saying goes, if you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die, and if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry.
Fu Zhaoxin arrived in Bozhou several months early, and all kinds of measures to defend the city were all in place in accordance with the requirements of the art of war.
However, the birth of the bronze cannon completely presented the generational effect of the weapon in front of Fu Zhaoxin.
To put it bluntly, the Li family's army captured Bozhou City, which was a veritable frontal crush, and Fu Zhaoxin had no strength to fight back at all, let alone parry.
Everyone is a very realistic smart person, and if you say it clearly, it is better to go through the battlefield with real swords and guns, the king of the winners, the losers are Kou, the reason is as simple as that.
If Fu Zhaoxin really figured it out, he would definitely take the initiative to write to the Empress Dowager Fu and ask his sister to treat Huang Jingsheng well.
If something happens to Huang Jingsheng, Li Zhongyi must return a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood. At that time, it will depend on the tragic consequences that the Fu family endures?
Once upon a time, there were four or five classmates from elementary school to college who had a very strong relationship with Li Zhongyi.
However, as the years go by, the once innocent feelings cannot stand the test of interests at all. Among the five hardcore brothers, four of them drove luxury cars and lived in villas, but they refused to pay back to Li Zhongyi.
It is precisely because of this unbearable past, even if Li Zhongyi is infinitely close to the position of the first person in the Great Zhou, the rare relationship with Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu is worth cherishing.
Li Zhongyi returned to Santang, looking at the mountains of government affairs documents on the bookcase, and couldn't help but have a headache.
The benefits of a big family and a big business are naturally too many to count. However, despite his repeated efforts to establish an examination and approval system, which greatly streamlined the official documents that need to be approved in person, the number of official documents for government affairs is still increasing day by day.
Li Zhongyi shook his head, in the final analysis, there was a problem with the authorization mechanism.
According to Li Zhongyi's understanding, the main thing is to delineate the terms of reference, and then set the approval process, who undertakes, who approves, who supervises, who reports, and all implement it to the person, and the official business that needs to be signed and approved by himself should be gradually reduced.
However, the number of official documents reported to Li Zhongyi's desk has not decreased, but has been increasing, which shows that after the space for corruption and bribery of the people below has been greatly squeezed, there has been an unexpected phenomenon of lazy government.
The so-called lazy government, that is, as long as there is no clearly divided government affairs within the scope of responsibility, it will be pushed away, lest you have not eaten pork, but you will be stained with a fishy shame.
In the past, when Han Xianglan and Ye Xiaolan assisted in writing abridgements in the inner hall, although there were a lot of official documents, Li Zhongyi only needed to check the abridgements and spot check the text.
Now, Han Xianglan and Ye Xiaolan have been left in the inner house of Qizhou, and Li Zhongyi has only one wood-like Li Cuixuan by his side, so he is dragged down by Wenshan and the sea of paper to rest or play.
More than two hours later, Li Zhongyi finally reviewed all the government affairs documents on the desk. He had just stretched his waist, and before he had time to take a sip of tea, Chu Xiong limped in front of him with a large stack of official documents.
Nima, endlessly? The mud bodhisattva is still a little earthy, not to mention Li Zhongyi, who is full of words?
"Let's leave it here for now." Li Zhongyi glanced at Chu Xiong, who was walking lamely, well, this kid was beaten with a military stick, and he didn't dare to say any more witty words, so he drooped his head and poked next to the bookcase.
"Master, you don't have any other orders, the little one went to guard the door?" Chu Xiong became extremely honest, but Li Zhongyi was a little uncomfortable, so he laughed and teased him, "Get a stick now, so as not to be stabbed in the future, understand?" Do you know why I hit you? ”
Chu Xiong licked his lips and said softly: "The little one shouldn't get carried away, his words and deeds are very inappropriate, and he didn't lose his head with a military stick, which is also your hard work." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded, Chu Xiong is not a smart person, who is a smart person?
However, a person as smart as Yang Xiu, even if he has exhausted the mechanism and is as clever as a spring, he was cut off by Cao Apu and used as a night pot, isn't the lesson profound?
Li Zhongyi only fined thirty military sticks, neither dismissed Chu Xiong's officials, nor cut off his head, and allowed him to continue to stay by his side and wait, which can already show the mentality of hating iron but not steel.
"Go down and rest. In the past few days, I will lie on the couch, recuperate well, and when I am healed, I will come to lead the horse and drag the stirrups for Lao Tzu. Li Zhongyi raised his right leg and gently kicked Chu Xiong's injured buttocks.
"Nourishing ......" Chu Xiong grinned in pain, and then his spirit suddenly perked up, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he slammed his military boots and grinned, "Order!" ”
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Yanqing took a watch seal and appeared in front of Li Zhongyi on time.
"What's the matter, last night I took a beautiful concubine and made a groom who tried it?" Li Zhongyi only saw that Li Yanqing's face was more bitter than bitter gourd, and he knew that there must be a happy event.
It's also a strange thing to say, the more annoyed Li Zhongyi is in his heart, the brighter he laughs. However, as for Li Yanqing, the happier he was, the more ugly his face became.
A master and a servant have strange problems, a smile and a bitterness, which can be said to complement each other, and each is good at winning.
"Back to my grandfather, Wu Wangnong, the governor of Puzhou, knew that after Bozhou fell for half a day, he sent his eldest son Wu Xiong non-stop, one to send you a surrender book, and the other to let Wu Xiong stay in Bozhou as a hostage." Li Yanqing's strange appearance with a bitter face to report the good news made Li Zhongyi feel a little ridiculous.
Li Zhongyi took the book and read it carefully, and when he saw the passage "The whole clan is willing to serve the death", he couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "This is the most intelligent person who understands the current situation and understands the overall situation!" ”
Li Yanqing said with a bitter face: "Master, Wu Xiong also brought two gifts, one is the deployment map of the Puzhou garrison, and the other is very special, it is actually the twin four sisters of the Wu family. ”
"Oh, it can be seen that Lao Tzu's hobby of liking twin beauties has been spread all over the world?" Li Zhongyi raised the corners of his mouth, twin four sisters, didn't Wu Wangnong send a god-sent auspicious rui, what is it?
In this era when the level of medicine is abnormally low and the average life expectancy is no more than 35 years old, pregnant women give birth to quadruplets and actually feed them, which is more than 100 times lower than the probability of winning the welfare lottery.
As we all know, even if it is a twin, there is always one who is slightly less physically fit.
The beginning of the theory of evolution is very clear, natural selection, survival of the fittest!
When the fetus is still in the mother's womb, the genes determine that there are always those who are good at absorbing nutrients, and those who are slightly worse, which will inevitably lead to congenital insufficiency.
Others may think that Li Zhongyi is very happy, but Li Yanqing secretly pinched a cold sweat, he only took into account the great significance of Xiangrui, but he did not expect that Wu Wangnong's move would hurt the reputation of the lord.
"Master, let Wu Xiong send everyone back." Li Yanqing was bold and wanted to try his best to make up for his ill-considered mistakes.
Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are not a small family, how can we return the gifts sent to the door?" ”
Li Yanqing immediately came to his senses and hurriedly made a suggestion: "Why don't you arrange for them to serve Cui Niangzi?" ”
Li Zhongyi smiled, but did not make a clear statement, however, Li Yanqing nodded in understanding and said, "The little ones will go down and arrange their accommodation." ”
Wu Xiong, who had been waiting outside the door, saw that the four cousins of the twins were taken into the state office, and his heart was so happy that he thought he had slapped the right sycophant.
Who would have thought that Wu Xiong sat in the gatehouse and waited for more than an hour, but no one passed him in.
How so? Wu Xiong raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat beads on his forehead, his heart beat irrepressibly faster, and his rambling thoughts could not be avoided at all.
