Chapter Eighty-Six: Mountain Rain is Coming
However, after two or three days of recuperation, there are still rumors in Yangzhou City, some say that the emperor built the palace to see the goddess of Luoshui depicted by Cao Zhi, and some say that the emperor built it for his own pleasure, and for a time there were different opinions.
Xu Siye knew the real purpose in his heart, but he didn't put these thoughts in his heart, and the top priority was to slowly release the "tyranny" on the other side that had been discussed, so Xu Siye called two boys.
Both of them are confidants who followed my father Xu Youcheng before, so I am naturally relieved, but I have something to explain today, and the more people who know about it, the better, but don't let people find out the source. ”
"Our two brothers naturally understand, just explain it."
Xu Siye listened to the way the two of them answered, just like that big grin and put his heart at ease.
"After I went out of this place, I can only say it to outsiders, but don't let people know that I said it, you only say that the emperor built the palace to marry the ten beauties of Yangzhou, if there is an unmarried daughter of the right age in the family, it will definitely not be able to marry, and it must be included in the emperor's palace."
The two of them were already paralyzed by fright, they had been loyal to the emperor for many years, and when did the emperor's idea come to them, they didn't have Xu Si's ability to go to the sky at night, if they were found out, wouldn't they be dead and had no place to be buried.
"The surname is Xu, if you see that my brothers are unhappy, and you want to kill or beat them, why do you want to play tricks on the two brothers like this, do you want to watch my brothers' family collapse."
Xu Siye smiled bitterly in his heart, such people are often the most outspoken, but they are often the most loyal to themselves, but when they hear these words, they have to explain.
"Brother, don't blame, this is actually a plan between me and the emperor, the purpose is to lure out all the Fanbang people in Bianjing City and Yangzhou City to annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"Oh, it was originally a Fanbang person, and our brothers also hated it very much, this time there is such a thing, our brothers will definitely do their best to help the prince and the emperor, and kill all the Fanbang people."
Xu Siye couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, these two brothers are really interesting, they are generally rude and arrogant, if the people next to them know that they are wrong, they will have to kowtow and apologize for something, these two brothers didn't even say a word.
But it is this kind of thinking that makes Xu Siye envious, he has long forgotten what it is like to speak out in the officialdom, and he wants to be a desperate person if he has the opportunity.
After Xu Siye finished explaining, the two of them hurried out, only to spread all the words of these words, not half a cup of tea, all the people in the border city and Yangzhou City seemed to know that the emperor wanted to build a Yangzhou palace to accommodate all the beauties, and if he didn't obey, he would kill the nine clans.
As the saying goes, rumors are spreading, and three people become tigers, and this fake thing has become true, not to mention that someone has ulterior motives to fuel the fire.
The emperor saw that it had worked, and he had to make some attitudes, so he asked the people in the surrounding cities to cut down trees and let them use them in Yangzhou, so that everyone could realize that the emperor really wanted to open a new palace.
Xu Siye looked at the emperor's posture, if he really didn't know, I was afraid that he really thought that the emperor was opening a new palace, and he naturally knew that the emperor was just trying to clear those Fanbang people.
Jin Wuxi fell, and when it was hot and dark, a person sneaked into the Lin Mansion.
"You came and no one saw it."
"No one saw me touching me at night, even the few people in the Lin Mansion saw me."
The man slowly took off his black hat, and when he was wearing a black night suit, he realized that the person who came was Lu Xing.
"Brother Lu has worked hard, it is not easy to be a lobbyist with Fanbang people this time, I heard that Brother Lu has also received a lot of criticism, what is going on."
"It's not a tribulation, it's just that the people of the state saw that I came alone, and they were determined to hold me."
"Then how did Brother Lu come out later?"
"I only told those Fanbang people that the emperor wants to build a palace, and he still wants to make a reputation, so it is better to make an internal response himself, give them a convenience, and take the opportunity to take this Yangzhou City, and I don't want anything, I just want to take care of all the business in Yangzhou City, so that I can make a lot of money."
"The people of that state were already excited when they heard this, they have been watching Yangzhou City for a long time, but they have no chance, and now I have sent the opportunity, how can they not accept it."
When Xu Siye heard this, he already understood a lot in his heart, and the people of the state actually heard that Lu Xinxing gave the attackers of Yangzhou City to those few people, so they hurriedly agreed to take this matter, not to mention that they had ideas in their hearts.
"In this case, Brother Lu can get a big credit."
"What credit is not the blessing of Brother Xu, and he will give away this great credit."
"If I try to persuade it, it won't have such a good effect as Brother Lu, and this matter can only be handled by Brother Lu, but Brother Lu is afraid that he will have to endure infamy for a while."
"Winning the reputation before and after my death, I have such an opportunity to serve the country and Your Majesty, and what kind of reputation do I have, if I can wipe out these Fanbang people, I am not afraid of carrying this black cauldron."
"What's going on here in Yangzhou and Bianjing? I'm afraid that we will not have to start the plan soon, and this is what the Fanbang people ask me the most, and I am already perfunctory. ”
"If the plan goes well, only the moment when the Fanbang people intend to send troops, it is expected that in three days, His Majesty the Emperor's Praetorian Guard will arrive in Yangzhou City."
"Your Majesty has made up your mind to find out these Fanbang people this time? Aren't you afraid of making enemies with foreign countries? ”
"If they are not my race, their hearts will be different, if they are not eradicated, I am afraid that it will be my Great Song who will perish."
Xu Siye said this, and then when Lu Xing heard it, he secretly sighed in his heart at Xu Siye's political city, and on the other hand, he thought that he was fortunate to be friendly with Xu Siye as soon as possible, if it weren't for this, he might have fallen into the calculation.
In the next three days, Yangzhou City was very quiet, as if there was no living thing, but Xu Siye and Lu Xing knew in their hearts that whenever the storm came, the sea was always very calm.
Three days later, when the plan was implemented, the Bang people dressed up as people from various industries selling vegetables slowly entered Yangzhou City, and suddenly Yangzhou City was full of activity.
"What is Brother Xu thinking? But for the people to be poisoned, I am very sad. ”
"I'm just wondering if I'll be able to fish somewhere if I go through this fight."
"Sitting and watching the anglers have nothing to envy, Brother Xu's realm is not something I can understand, let's see how the victory or defeat of this battle is, and the emperor will arrive tomorrow."
