PS: Put a big chapter out, let the brothers look cool, and ask for support from the monthly pass by the way!

Wei Renpu's construction, Li Zhongyi decided to look at the timing before making a conclusion, it was just four palace maids, there was no need to pay too much attention.

"No blame brother, the old man has been in the officialdom for a long time, and it can be said that he has read a lot of people. Alas, although the old man can't see through your personality, he always feels that although you are not a Confucian gentleman, you are also a credible person who counts. Wei Renpu looked at Li Zhongyi with blazing eyes, "Do you know that there are many important ministers in the court, and the old man doesn't choose them, but he can trust you?" ”

Li Zhongyi vaguely guessed what Wei Renpu meant, but he deliberately shook his head, pretending not to know.

"Just by virtue of the righteous brother you treated you well, Huang Jingsheng, the old man expected that you were a person who valued love and righteousness. Unlike some people, the bridge has to be demolished before the river is crossed. Wei Renpu looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile, "You are in a high position, you hold a lot of power, but you can consistently treat poor and lowly friends, just ask the princes of the court, who can reach half of you?" ”

When Li Zhongyi first worshipped Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu, he really didn't have any utilitarian thoughts, he just felt that receiving the grace of people should be reciprocated by a spring.

Unexpectedly, after the deeds of the sworn worship spread, Wei Renpu saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and at the critical moment, he fell to his side.

It can really be said: unintentionally planted willows, willows become shady! It seems to be accidental, but in fact, there is a necessity.

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Between this pecking and drinking, it seems that there is a certain number in the dark.

To be honest, Li Zhongyi is indeed deeply impressed by Wei Renpu's keen insight into the political situation far beyond the crowd.

Don't look at Wei Renpu's usual talk and work. It looks unusually slippery, and it's time for a critical moment. He is unusually willing to give up his capital.

After Wei Renpu handed over the list of his henchmen, it was tantamount to revealing all his family backgrounds in advance. This is enough to win the trust of Li Zhongyi.

In fact, Wei Renpu can also use his more sophisticated officialdom experience, and when he Li asks for the door, he will talk about the exchange conditions of the alliance.

However, it belongs to the category that far water can't quench the thirst of the near, God knows, when and where Li Zhongyi will be in trouble?

Plus, in this world, there are no impermeable walls. Wei Renpu did something in secret. It is difficult to guarantee that Li Zhongyi will not be known, and Li Zhongyi is a person who has clear grievances and is unwilling to suffer.

Instead of playing tricks that are unseemly, Wei Renpu feels that it is better to negotiate terms with Li Zhongyi straight to the point, but it is more safe.

"Xianggong, as long as Li lives for one day, he will definitely not live up to your trust." Li Zhongyi's heart really felt very satisfied. Therefore, the promise is also fulfilled.

At this critical juncture, Wei Renpu, an old slippery head in officialdom, is a political tumbler. actually moved his family to vote, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow, how could he not be moved?

After getting Li Zhongyi's personal guarantee. Wei Renpu nodded with satisfaction and said, "The old man won't look at the wrong person, he can trust you." ”

"Wei Da. You go and call the big man and them over, in front of the old man. Meet Uncle Lee. Wei Renpu's order made Li Zhongyi feel embarrassed.

You must know that the eldest son of the Wei family is older than Li Zhongyi, how can he be favored?

Wei Renpu's old wife passed away early and has not been renewed, so after meeting and saluting the five sons of the Wei family before the sickbed, the Li and Wei families, which can be regarded as a formal alliance, have become a good family of solidarity.

Li Zhongyi and Wei Renpu talked deeply for more than two hours, and between the guests and the hosts, they broke up happily.

At the time of parting, Wei Renpu tightened Li Zhongyi's right hand, gasped and said, "That day, before the mother's drive, the old man really couldn't stand you. However, the old man is really hard, who calls the old man from a poor family, and he doesn't have a strong wife? ”

Li Zhongyi knew that Wei Renpu was apologizing in disguise, so as not to let him always hold a grudge.

In fact, after today's alliance, Wei Renpu, the third-ranked prime minister of the current dynasty in the political hall, must have helped Li Zhongyi a lot.

What's more, all the people of Wei Renpu's family were handed over to Li Zhongyi, which invisibly strengthened Li Zhongyi's latent power in the civilian group.

Even if Li Zhongyi had a small opinion about Wei Renpu's slippery before, by this moment, it would have long disappeared.

After leaving the Wei Mansion, Li Zhongyi instructed Li Yunxiao, who was riding a horse by the window: "After you go back, you and Li Xiaojiu will sort out all the letters in the inner and outer study, and burn everything that should be burned, leaving only encrypted fake letters." ”

"Master, what do you mean...... Could it be that you want the four maids of Meilan Zhuju to wait closely? Li Yunxiao blinked and asked Li Zhongyi in a low voice.

Li Zhongyi turned his head to look at Li Yunxiao, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "Your master, I want to play a new trick this time." Well, catch a turtle in an urn? Or is it the other way around? Hehe, it's interesting to think about. ”

Li Yunxiao has followed Li Zhongyi for many years, and he immediately realized that Li Zhongyi's inexplicable bad taste came out again.

"Master, the little one thinks it's better to break it up?" Li Yunxiao's face also showed an outrageous evil smile.

Li Zhongyi lightly instructed: "You go to do this matter personally, pay attention to only one thing, and arrange the most clever one to the study." ”

Li Yunxiao said with a smile: "Master, please rest assured, my little favorite likes to do this kind of errand that requires brains." Oh, by the way, sir, I heard that the little lady had a falling out with her own mother and sisters on the Zhuangzi. Alas, it's pitiful, she washes her face with tears all day long. ”

Li Zhongyi was silent for a while, and then instructed Li Yunxiao: "You let someone go and pick up Caijiao from Zhuangzi, Huajiao, Ruijiao and Zheng, observe for a while, and wait until the big event is decided." ”

"Whoa." Li Yunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in recent times, Li Zhongyi's major matters to be done at hand have been complicated, and his mood is far from being as good as before.

It is the duty of any entourage to share the worries of the master, so Li Yunxiao plans to knock on the side, let Caijiao come back, accompany Li Zhongyi to relax, and find some fun.

Li Zhongyi knew very well that Li Yunxiao would never betray him. It's just that I feel that Caijiao is more pitiful and wronged.

After all, she is her own woman, although Li Zhongyi is not soft-hearted. But it is impossible to poison his own woman.

Li Zhongyi grounded the three sisters of the Jin family and the Zheng family to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city. Especially let Caijiao reflect on it and coax the tragic ending of the master.

Let Caijiao learn a lesson and dare not do it again from now on, this is Li Zhongyi's true purpose.

Hehe, my own woman made a big mistake, she should clean it up, she has to clean it up, but she must not be spoiled!

That night, Li Zhongyi was in two study rooms inside and outside. The charcoal fire was not extinguished, and the light smoke from burning the letters was not dispersed until the third watch under the cover of the dark night.

Because, Chai Rong led the army to the Northern Expedition, although Concubine Fu was shrewd and capable, after all, she was a woman in the deep palace, and it was impossible to convene the ministers of the court.

So. Instead of the daily regular participation in the court, Concubine Fu convened the governors of the government hall and the Privy Council to discuss matters on a small scale.

Prince Chai Zongxun needed to recuperate due to poor health. Therefore, sitting on the throne today, there is still only one concubine Fu Guifei.

"Qi Yu Niangniang. According to the secret report received in the early hours of this morning: Li Chongjin, who sneaked back to Yangzhou without saying goodbye. Recently, there has been a lot of private activity. The most important thing is that Li Chongjin actually did not have the permission of the imperial court. It recruited troops without authorization, and its total military strength has now exceeded 50,000 soldiers. The privy envoy Wang Pu opened his mouth, and he shook off the shocking news.

Without waiting for Concubine Fu to react, Wang Pu immediately added: "According to secret reports, Li Chongjin has captured almost all the blacksmiths in Yangzhou, and is working day and night to build bows, crossbows, arrows, armor and blades and other strictly forbidden weapons. ”

Li Chongjin's identity is extremely noble, he is one of the very few sons and nephews living in the world who are related to Zhou Taizu Guo Wei.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, Li Chongjin sneaked back to Yangzhou in private, far from a day, but the imperial court never came up with any punitive measures.

In Li Zhongyi's view, Chai Rong hindered Guo Wei's face, and even if he was tolerant of Li Chongjin on the surface, it was difficult to tolerate his bad behavior of openly plotting rebellion.

Li Chongjin has not been severely punished so far, and Li Zhongyi's views are roughly four:

First, Chai Rong deliberately connived at Li Chongjin's rebellion, and then eliminated him once and for all, the bane that posed the greatest threat to imperial power.

Second, Chai Rong misses the old love very much and doesn't want to be ruthless to Li Chongjin;

Third, at the important juncture of the Northern Expedition, Chai Rong wanted to temporarily stabilize Li Chongjin, and after the main army returned to Beijing, he would free up his hands and then clean up Li Chongjin;

Of course, the plan was far from changing so quickly, and Chai Rong probably didn't expect that he would suddenly fall ill on the way to the Northern Expedition.

As Li Chongjin, if Chai Rong does not personally issue an edict, who would dare to act rashly?

After being shocked for a while, Concubine Fu glanced at Fan Qian, whom she trusted the most, and asked softly, "Fan Xianggong, the matter is very important, how should I deal with it?" ”

Fan Zhi said lightly: "When the imperial court is using troops, the military strength of the Beijing division is extremely empty, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to send troops to recruit and suppress it for a while." ”

The situation mentioned by Prime Minister Fan Zhen is known to everyone present, and it is indeed the truth.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the main army of the imperial court is on the way to the Northern Expedition, and the army of the Southern Expedition led by Li Qiong, the king of Kaiping County, is also on the way.

In the capital division, there are now thousands of untrained half-hung cavalry left at hand by Fu Zhaoxin, the right guard of Yulin that Li Zhongyi has at hand, the holy army under Shi Shouxin, and the forbidden army in the palace of thousands of heavenly guards commanded by Li Hu.

In addition, more than 40,000 troops of the Beijing Division, as well as 3,000 cavalry of the Dangxiang clan under the command of the Dangxiang barbarian quite brave, can barely fill the number.

In the face of Li Chongjin's sudden surge of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, the Great Zhou court is now in an embarrassing situation where there are no soldiers available.

"Wang Shuxiang, how do you think we should deal with it?" Concubine Fu also knew that the prime minister was not familiar with military affairs, so she subconsciously pulled out Wang Pu and asked him by name.

Wei Renpu found that Wang Pu glared at Li Zhongyi fiercely, and he immediately realized that it was not good, and the surname Wang was afraid that there would be a demon moth.

"Niangniang, the old minister thinks that Li Chongjin's great rebellion must not be connived at. Once the prestige of the imperial court is damaged, careerists will jump out one after another, and at that time, the imperial court will never be at peace, and the army will be exhausted. After Wang Pu showed his attitude straight to the point, he didn't leave a chance for Wei Renpu to interject, and then proposed to build a new one, "Niangniang, the old minister thinks that it is better to send a famous marshal to lead the cavalry troops to Yangzhou, and monitor Li Chongjin nearby, so that he does not dare to act rashly, which is the best policy." ”

Wei Renpu sighed secretly, he was still a step slower after all, and let Wang Pu make the trap real.

Li Zhongyi's heart is like a mirror, and Wang Pu uses the immature half-hanging cavalry as an excuse, obviously trying to take away his military power to control the right guard of Yulin.

Well, it seems that the news from the north is unusually good!

Wang Pu has long had a deep collusion with Zhao Yuanlang and Zhao Laoer, and Li Zhongyi has always been aware of this.

It's just that the strategy of using troops proposed by Wang Pu is very much in line with the current situation faced by the imperial court, and Li Zhongyi was gagged, and it was difficult to refute it for a while.

At this time, Li Gu also jumped out, and he said loudly: "Niangniang, the cavalry training of the party barbarians can also be brought by Li Shenzheng, so as not to stay in the first good place of the capital and cause trouble all day long." ”

Li Gu seized the opportunity very well, quite a party cavalry under Chaoyong, brave and young, uneducated, wild and untamed, often clashing with the local citizens.

Although it is not a big deal to make trouble, after all, the impression given to the important ministers of the DPRK and China is very bad.

Wei Renpu glared at the gushing Li Gu, he thought to himself, this Li Weizhen is really cunning, and what he keeps saying is the specific arrangement for Li Zhongyi to lead the troops to the battle, this set is very deep!

"Niangniang, the minister......" Wei Renpu is worthy of being an old fritter in the political arena, he hurriedly went out of the class and gave up, wanting to say a few words for Li Zhongyi, leaving room for change.

Who would have thought that Concubine Xiao Fu would ignore Wei Renpu's dignity and stared at Li Zhongyi directly: "Master Li, you are the prince's teacher, and you are a famous marshal in the court, with outstanding military achievements. ”

It's not about chasing ducks and getting on the shelves; If the ox does not drink water, will it be forced to hold its head? (To be continued......)
