Chapter Seventy-Two: Peace Before Fighting
Liu Yongxi didn't take this governor and prince in his eyes at all: "I catch up with Zuo Shibo, don't talk too much about idle people, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife if you dare to talk more!"
Xing Shengping next to him had already pulled out his knife: "Who dares to talk in front of Sincerity?" Dare to talk more and correct the Fa on the spot!"
Although Chen Hongfan has been a governor and chief military officer, it is the first time he has encountered such an arrogant and unreasonable martial artist as Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping, and what is even more deadly is that now the river and the shore are full of Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping's people, although Chen Hongfan has a good skill, he does not dare to stand up to Liu Yongxi.
After all, Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping have been bold enough to forcibly detain the northern mission of the imperial court in the name of "protecting Cao", and it is naturally common to kill a governor and a fellow governor and then report a drowning death.
And Zuo Maodi is already a little unbearable, and Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping, these martial artists, don't take him as the left servant of the military department too much: "Liu Shinephew, since you are willing to share the worries of the imperial court, then some things should be stopped!"
Liu Yongxi had already laughed: "Zuo Shibo said very much, everything should be done, last year those civil officials scolded my father for being worthless, only Zuo Shibo said two fair words!"
Liu Yongxi is talking about the fact that Liu Kongzhao was appointed to the Jiangdu Imperial History in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, which is also the biggest contradiction between the sincere Bofu and the civil officials, and he felt that Emperor Chongzhen completely violated the ancestral family law and dealt a devastating blow to the defense of the southern capital.
It was not only the Donglin Party who attacked Liu Kongzhao on this issue, but all civilian officials resolutely demanded the restoration of the ancestral family law established by the civil, military, and Jiangjiang provinces, and even Wang Sunfan, Liu Kongzhao's old friend, severely criticized Liu Kongzhao on this issue not long ago.
After King Fu entered the southern capital, Shi Kefa and the military department were even more because of their plan to restore the old system of civil and military Caojiang, which caused the lord and the official secretary Zhang Shenyan to fight in front of the emperor, triggering the first political tide of the Hongguang Dynasty.
Of course, the most critical reason is not because of violating the ancestral family law or Liu Kongzhao's ability, but because the imperial history of Caojiang is a vital territory in the hands of civil officials, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
On this issue, only Zuo Maodi once helped Liu Kongzhao say a few fair words.
Although Zuo Maodi also advocated the restoration of the imperial history of Caojiangdu, he praised "the minister Liu Kongzhao went to Nanjing, and the ministers met him first, and saw that the actual heart was to train the army as a business", "Caojiang is in charge, and its division of land is also long, and its power is also heavy." In the past, those who were short of the two ministers' camps were not enough to take care of one shoulder", but they only thought that the 1,300-mile long-term line of river defense could not be kept busy by Liu Kongzhao alone, and "from Zhenjiang up and down the mountain to Jiujiang and the Yangtze River for 1,300 miles, one person patrolling it is not as good as two people patrolling separately", and it is better to restore Wencao River.
And now that Liu Yongxi has brought up the old matter again, Zuo Maodi can't help but be full of good feelings towards Liu Yongxi, and there is a smile on his face: "Since I left Beijing, I have been urged everywhere to go to Beijing as soon as possible to negotiate peace, only Yongxi's nephew wants to stay with me for a few more days!"
He pinned his hopes on the thousands of troops at the disposal of Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping, after all, the name given to him by the imperial court was "Manager Hebei, liaison with Kwantung military affairs",
But Liu Yongxi said unceremoniously: "Is Zuo Shibo preparing to pass through Shandong? I also considered this problem when I escorted Empress Zhang south, and at that time, the head of the household department suggested staying in Shandong, but I thought that Qilu was broken and could not be guarded, and Niangniang Shengming asked me to wait for the south as soon as possible!"
Zuo Maodi didn't expect Liu Yongxi to contradict him as soon as they met: "Xiao Chengyi Bo is not going to pass through Shandong, so what's the use of seeing me?" ”
Liu Yongxi didn't speak, but Li Xiangjun, who was wearing men's clothes, opened his mouth and said: "Although others have forgotten the three chapters of the covenant, our sincerity has not forgotten the three chapters of the covenant!"
As soon as it came to the "Three Chapters of the Law", the air on the scene became stagnant, after all, the imperial court has always been covering its ears and stealing the bell for this problem, and has been pretending that there is no such thing, and Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying even felt that they could take advantage of the opportunity of Empress Zhang's move to Yanziji to fool this matter.
And now Zuo Maodi is the most embarrassing person in the audience, after all, he is the minister who is most opposed to making peace with Jianyu in the court, and he is not willing to accept the current mission, but Providence has forced people to preside over the peace, and now Liu Yongxi has moved out of the three chapters of the agreement between Empress Zhang and Emperor Hongguang, and can only remain silent there.
And although Chen Hongfan was unwilling to clash head-on with Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping, he could only open his mouth to persuade when he saw this situation: "At this time, at that time, Empress Yi'an Zhang and His Majesty agreed on three chapters, mainly to prevent Your Majesty from forgetting the national enemy and family hatred and the thieves to negotiate peace, but now the situation is completely different!"
Liu Yongxi laughed: "What is the difference in the situation, I was also present when Niangniang and His Majesty agreed on the third chapter, Yi'an Niangniang Shengming, at that time said that although His Royal Highness King Fu was allowed to have room for negotiation due to the situation, but before the negotiation of peace, there must be a battle first, and you can't make peace before the war, Zuo Shibo, do you think Niangniang is reasonable?" ”
Zuo Maodi was silent for a while, although he had also heard some details of the three chapters of the covenant, but he didn't expect that Empress Zhang had already considered all the details at that time, and this arrangement completely went to the bottom of his heart.
Although Zuo Maodi does not exclude those who are forced to lie down and try their courage under the situation.
But now the imperial court is pinning all its hopes on the "joint capture to destroy the thief", hoping that the prisoner and the thief will fight to defeat both, according to some news obtained by Zuo Maodi, the thief has been defeated again and again, and it is very likely that he will not be able to support it.
And the Qing soldiers will definitely target the small court of Hongguang in Jianghuai after solving the thieves, so he feels that Empress Zhang is too right.
But he knew that Empress Zhang was right, but Zuo Maodi still didn't know how to speak, and waited for a while before sighing: "Yi'an Niangniang Shengming!"
If His Royal Highness King Fu can have half or even one-tenth of Queen Zhang's vision, the imperial court will not favor Jianghuai, but will seize this golden opportunity, and only hate Empress Yi'an Zhang is neither a man nor the queen mother, so Zuo Maodi can only sigh.
And Chen Hongfan was already anxious, although he took the initiative to invite the envoy to Yingbei, but he had long been in the Qing Dynasty, and when he saw that it was done, a Liu Yongxi suddenly jumped out: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, the three chapters of the law are all said by everyone, each has its own opinion, although Liu Zongbing said that he saw it with his own eyes, but his words are unfounded, I think Liu Zongbing came today in the name of protecting Cao Cao for this batch of gold, silver and satin!"
It's just that as soon as Chen Hongfan's voice fell, he heard someone on the canal say: "The old man can be a witness to the sincerity of the uncle, at that time, His Royal Highness King Fu and the Virgin Mary agreed on three chapters, and the old man was also a witness!"
