550, Murder by a knife (5)
The dinner party had long ended, and the emperor returned to the imperial study, only to see that there were two people in the study in addition to the personal eunuch Zhang Di, one was Cai Jing, and the other was Liang Shicheng.
"How's that Liang Chen?" The emperor took a sip of tea and asked lightly,
Liang Shicheng immediately replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, then Liang Chen has been killed in accordance with Your Majesty's will." ”
The emperor nodded and looked at Liang Shi Chengdao approvingly, "You did a good job, righteous killing relatives, well, very good!" ”
"The saint said seriously, the minister saw that Liang Chen was pitiful and accepted him as a righteous son, but he didn't expect this person to do one thing in front of the minister, and another set behind his back, and he ruined the minister's reputation in the name of the minister, if he hadn't committed this thing today, the minister would have been kept in the dark." Liang Shicheng said humbly, "In the eyes of the minister, there is only a saint, not to mention a rebel, as long as it can help His Majesty, even if he wants the minister's life, the minister is also willing!" ”
The emperor was very satisfied with what he heard, and nodded again and again with a smile on his face,
"Your Majesty, today is indeed thanks to Lord Liang's righteous annihilation," Cai Jing said, "If it is put on others, we will definitely protect and conceal this matter, so that everything we have done to divide that Zheng Linfeng will be greatly discounted." And now that Liang Chen has been killed by the cane, I heard that the seed master Dao and others were moved to cry bitterly, and the two of them will definitely be deeply infected, and they must be grateful for the emperor's grace! When our will is sent to Jingdong Road, Zheng Linfeng will be angry, and then anger these two people, even if they can't cause their internal strife, it will definitely make them feel estranged, and it will not be long before the civil strife is away! ”
After that, Cai Jing smiled at Liang Shicheng,
How could Liang Shicheng not see Cai Jing's overtures, he was proud in his heart, and smiled at Cai Jing,
The emperor nodded happily and continued to ask Cai Jing, "Cai Aiqing, then what reward do you say we should send to that Zheng Linfeng?" ”
Cai Jing didn't answer this question immediately, but said, "The minister thought of a reward, but he didn't know if it was appropriate, so he ...... The minister wanted to hear what Lord Liang meant first. ”
The emperor looked at Liang Shicheng, and Liang Shicheng said, "Coincidentally, the minister also thought of a reward, or ...... I'll say it with Master Cai to see if it coincides? ”
As soon as the emperor heard this, he became interested, and said continuously, "Okay, the two Aiqing will talk together!" ”
Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing looked at each other and smiled, and said at the same time, "Kaifuyi is the same as the three divisions!" ”

"Brother Liu, it's still too late to turn back!" Seed Master Dao looked at Pang Wanchun, who was saying goodbye to Zhi Keda and others not far away, and whispered to Liu Fa who was standing beside him,
Liu Fa smiled helplessly, "Brother Seed, how long have you forgotten my temper?" Am I the kind of person who has a different heart? ”
"What I said may not mean anything, but you should be able to see how much the Holy One values you." ”
The corners of Liu Fa's mouth curled, and he said mockingly, "Heavy? I've never seen me so much more important than this before. This time, it is better to say 'wooing' than 'weight'. ”
Seed Master Dao frowned and continued, "What about Liang Chen? We saw his body with our own eyes on the way out of the palace, this is not fake, right? ”
Liu Fa smiled again, "It's just that a dog was killed, although one was killed, but there are more shameless, greedy, and murderous dogs than this one, and Liang Chen is just one of the insignificant dogs." ”
"Liu Fa!" Seed Master Dao finally couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Don't forget, it was the Celestial Empire that raised you and gave you everything, this is the way you treat the Celestial Empire......"
"It was my parents who raised me, and everything I had was my blood. I can fight hard, but it is really the Celestial Empire that you said you said that destroyed me with your own hands! Liu Fa waved his hand to interrupt him, sighed deeply and continued, "Brother Chong, I used to be the same as you, I was dead set on the emperor and the court, and I never gave up this loyalty until I was forced to take that step, but someone asked me a question, and I thought about it for a long time...... After a long time, I looked back after thinking about it, and I realized what I was really loyal to, and today, I will ask you this question again. ”
The seed master looked at Liu Fa in a daze,
Liu Fa Zhengse said, "Brother Chong, let me ask you, deep down in your heart, what do you really want to be loyal to? Is it the people of the world who gave birth to you and raised you, or the emperor who uses you but doesn't believe you, is wary of you everywhere, and only uses you as a watchdog? Love the country, is it the king, the court, or the people who love, and the land that you love? ! ”
The planter Dao was startled and was about to speak,
Liu Fa interrupted him again, "You and my brother, I just hope you can think about this issue carefully, and if you have the opportunity to come to us one day to take a look at it in person, maybe you will understand." ”
Seed Master Dao looked at Liu Fa in a daze, and finally gave up with a long sigh, a thick worry appeared on his face, "Brother Liu, in order to win you and ...... this time, the saint has invested a lot of money, even if you can see through it, can that person on Jingdong Road see through it?" Pang Shuai is that person's own person, maybe it's okay, but ...... you?! Aren't you worried about that? ”
Liu Fa heard the true meaning of the words of the seed master, and he couldn't help but have a warm current in his heart, he stretched out a hand and squeezed the hand of the seed master Dao, and said with great confidence, "Brother seed, what do you think I, a person who has just surrendered, can actually return to the northwest?" What kind of person can have such courage?! ”
Liu Fa's other hand smashed his chest hard, "That's called trust!" It's me Liu Fa who fought for the court and the emperor for the whole life and never got something! ”
The seed master looked at Liu Fa in a daze, and he didn't know what to say again.
Liu Fa raised his fist at the seed master, "Brother Seed, brother, I went, I don't know if I can see you again in my lifetime, to be honest, I hope there will be no more!" ”
After saying that, Liu Fa turned around and left again, leaving the seed master to muttered a sentence repeatedly, "He hopes...... There will be no more ......? ”

Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa smashed open a restaurant late at night with a few guards, forced the store to cut a few large plates of meat, heat a few big steamed buns, warm a few pots of fine wine, and only then were they satisfied after eating and drinking.
Early the next morning, a few people went straight to Caizhou out of Tokyo, and the team that had rushed there as planned, then went to the direction of Jingdong Road at full speed, and there were less than ten days before the New Year.
But...... No matter how fast they were, they couldn't get faster than the holy decree sent all the way from Tokyo to Jingdong Road.
A few days later, the holy decree arrived at the Weizhou City Commander's Mansion on Jingdong Road,
Zheng Fei is still standing to receive the order, Cai You and the others have long been surprised, anyway, they don't have a problem with Zheng Fei, so they just pretend not to see it,
The holy decree is very simple, that is, to talk about the performance of the Heavenly Dao Army in the Northwest against the Xia Kingdom in this war, and praise the Heavenly Dao Army, and then talk about what the imperial court's reward for the two generals Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa is, and as the commander of the Heavenly Dao Army, Zheng Fei will naturally be rewarded, and the reward given to him is: Kaifu Yi and the three divisions.
Cai You listened and secretly watched Zheng Fei's reaction, and when he heard the imperial court's reward for Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa, he clearly saw that several generals beside Zheng Fei showed a little anger on their faces, but to his disappointment, Zheng Fei did not react, as if he was listening to an extremely ordinary thing. And when he heard that the imperial court had appointed Zheng Fei as the third secretary of the opening of the palace, even Cai You felt that the imperial court was really too much.
Kaifu Yi is the same as the three divisions, which is the emperor's gift to the ministers below the three princes, from the first grade, the first official of the civil and scattered officials, don't look at the grade is not low, but it is a false position, just a kind of additional official of the imperial court. This kind of addition may be a great honor for others, but for Zheng Fei, who is already a hussar general, an envoy of the festival, and a prince of Qi, it means not much at all, and the actual effect he brings is not even as cost-effective as inviting Zheng Fei to have a meal.
What is it? This is a deeply hidden contempt!
In addition, the imperial court arbitrarily crowned Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa, one as the deputy envoy of Jingdong Road to appease, and the other as the ...... of Yizhou Zhizhou, especially Pang Wanchun, who is almost second only to Zheng Linfeng, but without Zheng Linfeng's consent, he ......!
Tut-......tut, Cai You sighed in his heart, the court is afraid that Jingdong Road will not be chaotic!
