Chapter 257: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge (Part I)

Whoa-" With a bang, the Jun kiln imperial porcelain bowl with a price higher than gold was smashed on the ground, which made the housekeeper who was serving tea in Liang Shicheng so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down without caring about the broken porcelain pieces and hot tea soup on the ground, and even confessed his guilt.

But Liang Shicheng didn't even look at the henchman at all, just stared gloomily at several middle-aged people in front of him who also had deep faces: "How should I deal with this matter today?" ”

can make Mrs. Liang, who has always been deep in the city and always has a modest smile on his face, be so angry, which shows how huge the impact of the current situation is on him. This time, Cai Jing actually teamed up with Tong Guan to openly attack the court, and beat a local official reused by Liang Shicheng to the point of no return, which was tantamount to being slapped by them in public and losing his face.

And that's not the point, it's the impact of this aftermath. The court and the central government all know that Yuan Wang is his Liang Shicheng's person, and now he has ended up like this, just ask those other low-level officials what they think of this matter, whether they will change their courts and abandon him and vote for others; Or, whether Cai Jing and they will take this opportunity to launch an encirclement and suppression of him, this is a problem that Liang Shicheng urgently needs to solve at present.

In fact, as early as the year before last, after being named a high-ranking Taifu by the official family and being called a hidden phase, Liang Shicheng had already guessed that he would become a thorn in Cai Jing's side, and the other party would inevitably try his best to eradicate himself. After all, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and there is naturally no room for two prime ministers in the court, even if one of them is just hidden behind the scenes, but he still commits Cai Jing's taboo.

He just didn't expect Cai Jing's offensive to come so fast, and it was so strange, it actually started from Jiangzhou, which was far away from Jingshi, and once he made a move, he didn't give himself the slightest chance, Yuan Wangren was dead, and it was impossible to turn the tables through him.

The incident at today's court meeting has made Liang Shicheng clearly see how big the gap between himself and Cai Jing is, which makes him even more frightened, and at the same time, the anger in his heart has become more and more intense, so he suddenly broke out in his own home.

"Liang Gong doesn't need to panic, after all, they are just targeting a petty official in Jiangzhou, and they can't hurt our roots. At this time, what we need to do is to deal with it calmly, instead of messing with ourselves, otherwise we will really be taken advantage of by them. A scholar sitting on his left side said with a solemn expression, but his tone was rather calm.

After this reminder, Liang Shicheng calmed down a little, waved his hand at the housekeeper who was still kneeling in front of him, and motioned him to retreat, then sighed and said: "It happened suddenly, I did lose my sense of proportion. Xianze, what you said is that the most important thing at this time is to calm down, after all, it's just a Yuan Wang, and it can't hurt my roots. ”

The staff member on the right side frowned slightly: "I think this matter should not be underestimated after all, and something must be done to stabilize people's hearts." ”

"Brother Yan's words are wrong, now that they are in full swing, Liang Gong must not compete with them, otherwise it will only make the situation more and more unfavorable." Chu Xianze hurriedly objected: "As for other people's opinions, as long as Duke Liang invites the officials of the DPRK and China to the mansion to explain a few words in the past few days, he can always appease them." After all, they had all followed Liang Gong for many years, so how could they rebel because of this trivial matter? ”

After saying a few words, Liang Shicheng's mood finally calmed down, yes, he was a little confused by this sudden blow, so he was so anxious. In fact, calm down and think about it, things are not so bad that they are irreparable, Jiangzhou is also thousands of miles away from Beijing, and the guilt of a six-grade petty official there cannot really be used to influence him.

But Yan Beifei didn't see it that way, and immediately said: "Having said that, this matter has opened a hole in the court, which will only fuel the arrogance of some people." Once Liang Gong doesn't do something, I'm afraid that similar things will happen in the future. At that time, Liang Gong's reputation in the court will really be challenged. ”

"What do you want to do?" Of course, Liang Shicheng didn't want such a result, but when he thought of making Cai Jing an enemy, he still had some drums in his heart. After all, the other party is the prime minister of the current Great Song Dynasty, who has been in power for many years, and has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, but he is not a close servant of the Son of Heaven who has just risen to the top.

Yan Beifei also understood his concerns, so he said: "Cai Xiang, we naturally can't offend him, not only him, but also Cai Dezhang, the Taishou who has completely mastered the power of Jiangzhou, we can't touch him, otherwise it will only bring us more trouble." ”

"And what else can we do?" Liang Shicheng asked impatiently.

"With all due respect, in fact, Cai Xiang has always been stable against Liang Gong, so it is reasonable for him to benefit in this matter, but it is not allowed for another person to take advantage of Cai Xiang's east wind to turn over." Yan Beifei suddenly diverted the topic.

However, Liang Shicheng had quickly understood what he was referring to: "You mean Tong Guan?" "When he mentioned this name, he also had an itch of teeth, his peers were enemies, and Tong Guan, who was born in the same chamberlain as him, has naturally always been jealous of him, but Tong Guan is in charge of martial arts, and there is no conflict of interest with him, and the two sides have been at peace all these years. But this time, Tong Guan suddenly fell to Cai Jing, and rushed to the front, which made him have to face this opponent.

"It is Tong Shumi, he is the person who Liang Gong needs to suppress, otherwise he will suffer endlessly." Yan Beifei nodded.

"It's not easy to talk about, he is also as trusted by the official family as I am, and he has also made military achievements in the northwest before, even in the forbidden army, there are many forces, and the saint will not touch him at will." Liang Shicheng shook his head dejectedly.

"It may be difficult for Liang Gong to threaten him alone, just as he must cooperate with Cai Xiang to become today's situation, we can also cooperate with others." Yan Beifei smiled and said.

"Hmm......" After thinking for a while, Liang Shicheng understood who he was referring to: "You mean that you want me and Gao Yu to join forces to deal with Tong Guan?" ”

"Exactly. Just as Cai is more jealous than Liang Gong, Gao Taiwei is also very wary of Tong Shumi, this time he cooperates with Cai Xiang, which will inevitably make Gao Taiwei vigilant, as long as Liang Gong takes the initiative to contact Gao Taiwei, he will definitely be willing to join forces with us. Yan Beifei nodded.

Liang Shicheng fell into contemplation again. As the most trustworthy courtiers in front of Zhao Ji, none of them had the intention of ganging up, which was not only the signal of the Son of Heaven openly and secretly, but also because they had their own interests and demands, and they were unwilling to give in to their own identities

For the sake of dwelling under people.

But now, Tong Guan suddenly broke this rule and balance, and immediately made Liang Shicheng fall into passivity, making him seem to have no choice but to join forces with Gao Yu of the same status.

It's just that with their identity, it's not so easy to join forces, and there must be an opportunity. For example, Tong Guan was able to cooperate with Cai Jing because of Sun Tu's chess piece, because he was sent to Cai Jiu's side and played an assisting role, so there was a seamless cooperation between the two high-ranking officials of the DPRK and China. But between Liang Shicheng and Gao Yu, there is no such chess piece that can be used as a hub.

After seeing his difficulties, Yan Beifei said again: "Actually, it's not a problem about how to open up the situation, then Jiangzhou City's group training Sun Tu is the most suitable person." Before Xia, I had heard that this person had a grudge with Gao Taiwei when he was in Beijing, and it was only because of Cai Xiang's appearance that he was allowed to be released from his post...... Since he has a grudge against both Liang Gong and Gao Taiwei, why not form an alliance by dealing with him? ”

"Hmm...... It's kind of interesting. Liang Shicheng nodded in approval.

At this time, Chu Xianze had also understood, and echoed: "This is a clever trick to kill two birds with one stone. That Sun Tu was one of the culprits who made Yuan Wang fall into a desperate situation, since Liang Gong couldn't attack Cai Jiu, it was a good choice to take him out, so it could also give the officials an explanation. It's just that this person has just made a meritorious contribution and has no fault, so it's not easy to punish him. ”

Yan Beifei smiled: "That's just a temporary inability to cure his crime, but it's hard to say in the future." It just so happened that this time he made a lot of contributions-that was clearly written in Cai Jiu's table, and no one could deny it--then took the opportunity to let Gao Taiwei transfer him out of Jiangzhou and transfer him to a place where he could be convicted, obviously to promote him to an official, in fact...... In this way, Liang Gong will also be able to talk to Gao Taiwei, what does the public think? ”

"This plan is very good, after doing this, even Cai Xiang or Tong Taiwei can't find a problem, and even in the eyes of others, it seems that Liang Gong is still repaying his grievances with virtue, which is very good for your reputation." Chu Xianze also nodded and said.

The two most trusted aides thought that this plan was feasible, and after thinking about it, he also felt that this was the only way to turn the current unfavorable situation, Liang Shicheng finally nodded in approval after silence: "In this case, then do as you say." Let's start with Sun Tu, I want to see what kind of waves he can make without the protection of his superiors. Where do you say, "Where can you put him?" ”

"This ...... Murong Yanchao, the prefect of Qingzhou, has always been loyal to the Duke of Liang, and his royal methods are also very clever, and there have been local military attaches who disobeyed his orders and finally ended up with a broken family. Recently, I heard that there are thieves in Qingzhou, so why not send Sun Tu to Qingzhou and let him be an official under the Murong Prefect? Chu Xianze quickly came up with a personal choice.

When Liang Shicheng heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face, but he hid a knife in his smile: "Yes, Murong Yan's super ability is enough to restrain Sun Tu and finally eradicate him." Then let Gao Yu help me transfer that Sun Tu from Jiangzhou to Qingzhou! ”

Sun Tu, who was in Jiangzhou, never imagined that his chess piece would become the key point for Liang Shicheng to attack Tong Guan......
