Chapter XVIII: The Jinyang Incident III
Li Yuan first gave a brief introduction to the situation of the annexation of the state, as the ambassador of Hedong comfort and the left-behind guard of Taiyuan County, as the lord of the Li valve, Li Yuan was very familiar with the situation of the annexation, and his speech was naturally the most authoritative. Reading at zero o'clock
As soon as Li Yuan said a few words, a difficult problem that made people laugh and cry was placed in front of everyone. Because in the past few years, Li Yuan has taken care of the entire state in an orderly manner, so most of the people are keeping to themselves, and the few guys who are jumping up and down have also been killed by Li Yuan. Therefore, if Li Valve wants to raise the banner of rebellion in the territory of Bingzhou, it is still quite difficult. Therefore, the first question given by Li Yuan was how to get the people to support him and even participate in the uprising.
Liu Wenjing quickly gave a solution. He asked Li Yuan to forge court documents, saying that he would use all the men under the age of 20 in the four counties of Taiyuan, Xihe, Yanmen, and Mayi as soldiers and send them all to Liaodong to attack Goryeo. In this way, the people naturally complained and were dissatisfied with the court. When the time comes, as long as Li Yuan raises the banner of rebellion, he will naturally follow.
Listening to Liu Wenjing talking about how to operate this matter, Cheng Biting Jin on the side secretly spat to himself, this bastard is so well aware of the truth of the government's coercion against the people, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, fortunately, God opened his eyes and let this bastard squat in prison early, otherwise I don't know how many people he wants to harm?
Looking at Li Yuan's old guy's expression, he was obviously extremely satisfied with this opinion, and it was obvious that this old thing was even more not human! Only Li Shimin, who was on the side, couldn't bear it, but because the matter was so important, he didn't open his mouth to stop it. Cheng Yanjin nodded with satisfaction, Li Xiaozi has a good conscience, and he knows the seriousness of the matter, and it is really worthy of grandpa's cultivation!
In order to achieve the goal of the uprising, it is natural to need sufficient troops. However, according to the Great Sui Decree, if you want to recruit soldiers, you must get the emperor's approval. Although Li Yuan already has soldiers and horses in his hands, and Cheng Yanjin also promised to sponsor a group of men, it may be enough for this man to dominate one side, but it is far from enough to control the world. Therefore, the second question before everyone is how to recruit soldiers.
With the foreshadowing of the previous fake documents, it should be easy to recruit soldiers in the territory of the state, but there is a small problem here. Wang Wei and Huya Lang of Taiyuan County were sent by the emperor to contain Li Yuan's men, and they were not all the way to Li Yuan, and these two people could not be bought. Large-scale recruitment will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of these two people, and once these two people realize that something is wrong, it will not bode well for Li Yuan to preemptively strike or secretly report to the imperial court.
Hearing Li Yuan's question, Cheng Biting Jin shook his head, "What's so difficult about this?" Just find a time when the night is dark and the wind is high, just cut off the heads of these two guys, as long as they die, then everything will be fine? ”
Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "It's not that simple. These two people have been operating here for many years, even with the ability of the old man, I don't know how many people secretly work for them, if they kill these two people recklessly, it will not be beautiful when the time comes. Besides, Gao Junya is guarded by martial arts masters when he goes in and out, and his mansion is like an iron bucket, and it is not easy to kill him! ”
Cheng Yanjin frowned, "Since you can't kill it, and you can't hide it, then don't hide it at all, just recruit soldiers openly!" ”
"Oh? What makes sense? ”
Looking at Liu Wenjing, who was asking, Cheng Biting Jin snorted proudly, "It's very simple, didn't Liu Wuzhou of Mayi County capture Fenyang Palace some time ago, and also presented the captured stunning palace maid to the Turkic Shibi Khan as a gift." This matter will reach the ears of the emperor in Yangzhou after a while. Based on Tang Gong's understanding of Jinshang, can the officials up and down in this state escape the emperor's wrath?
Tang Gong only needed to tell Wang Wei and Gao Junya about this matter, and tell them that if they took advantage of the fact that the news had not yet reached Jinshang, they would expand their men and horses to fight with Liu Wuzhou and defeat Liu Wuzhou, then there would be room for things to turn around. Otherwise, they will wait for the angry emperor to pick up the food guys! Just scare them like this, and when Tang Gong recruits troops, even if these two people don't agree, at least they won't stop it openly. ”
After Cheng bit King Kong finished speaking, Liu Wenjing on the side praised "What a clever plan!" I didn't expect Cheng Zhuangshi to come up with such a clever plan! ”
Hearing Liu Wenjing's sarcasm that he was a rough person, Cheng Yanjin was not angry, but raised his head triumphantly, "This method of scaring people is just what Xia used when he sold illicit salt, it is really not worth mentioning!" Liu Wenjing's face turned red with a smile.
Li Shimin next to him hurriedly played a round, "Everyone is a good friend, why fight for a moment." Come, drink, drink! ”
That night, Li Yuan invited Wang Wei and Gao Junya to a banquet according to the plan, Li Shimin accompanied him at the same time, Cheng Yanjin stayed alone in the room with nothing to do, and was depressed and bored counting ants, when he suddenly realized that he had not done the business of robbing the rich and helping the poor for a long time.
As soon as this thought came to him, Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt that his hands were itchy, and he wanted to find someone to start with. It's just that for a while, where can I find a rich family. Although he also knows so many big families, they are all involved in Li Valve, and they belong to Li Valve's forces, if he goes rashly and is recognized, he is afraid that his face will be lost to his grandmother's house. is saying that now that he and Li Valve belong to the alliance, it is naturally not easy to attack those people, after all, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest!
After scratching his head and scratching his ears for a long time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly remembered that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were now eating and drinking in Li Yuan's mansion, why didn't he go to their house to go around, with the status of these two people, there would be less good things at home? It is said that Gao Junya's house is iron-walled, so there is no need to waste effort, and the mutton in the province is not eaten, but it is a commotion.
The mansion of Wang Wei of this county is extremely conspicuous, and it looks magnificent from the outside, and it is not far from the inside. Besides, as a parent official here, I am afraid that the ground does not know how many layers have been scraped, and my grandfather is just going to go around and come back with some oil and water.
After making up his mind, Cheng Yanjin dressed up as a night walker and quietly walked out of the door and ran towards the Juncheng Mansion. found an unlucky subordinate to ask for directions, and Cheng Yanjin luckily sneaked into Wang Wei's bedroom. However, what made Cheng Yanjin a little dumbfounded was that although Wang Wei's bedroom was beautifully furnished, he searched through all the places, and Cheng Yanjin did not find a few gold and silver treasures.
After looking around, Cheng Biting Jin concluded that this Wang Wei Mansion was so luxurious, there must be treasures hidden in the house, but he didn't find it for the time being. I just don't know where this guy put those treasures. Seeing that it was still early, Wang Wei estimated that he would not be able to come back for a while and a half, so Cheng Yanjin simply probed around in his mansion.
After carefully searching all the rooms in the Juncheng Mansion that might contain treasures, Cheng Yanjin lay on the beam of the lobby, a little depressed. Tired grandpa, where is this bastard's gold and silver treasures hidden? Why can't Grandpa find it? Could it be that this trip was in vain?
Cheng Yanjin rested for a while, and was about to search again, when his ears suddenly moved, and he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then an old voice sounded, "I've seen the master, I've seen the tall man!" ”
"Laifu, you go down first, this official and Master Gao have some important matters to discuss, so I don't need you to serve!" As the voice of the order sounded, an official hat jumped into Cheng Yanjin's eyes. Cheng Yanjin hurriedly held his breath, since Wang Wei, the master of the mansion, has returned, then the tall man he said is Gao Junya. This person is not only a master who has stepped into the martial arts, but also has been followed by masters for many years, and it would not be wonderful if those people discovered his traces.
As Wang Wei and Gao Junya abandoned everyone, the two of them were left in the lobby plus Cheng Yanjin, who was hiding on the beam. Just when Cheng Biting Jin was holding his breath, he could hear the two people below smug chuckles.
Then Wang Wei's voice sounded, "Haha, tonight is really interesting, then Li Yuan purely treats you and me as fools, do you think we can't see his tricks?" It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous that Li Yuan is still smug, but he doesn't know that his pretentiousness has already been seen through by us! Hmph, brother, you said that when Li Yuan found out that he was a fool, how interesting would that expression be? ”
"Hmph, the matter has just begun, when Li Yuan has almost recruited people, you and I can preemptively take him down, and then send the evidence of the crime to the emperor of Yangzhou, even if this Li Yuan and Jinshang are related, they will be beheaded and beheaded! At that time, the four major gate valves will become the three surname gate valves. ”
"Haha, this time the senior brother has made a great contribution, presumably the lord of Yuwen will be overjoyed, and when the time comes, the senior brother will be a powerful person who can speak in Yuwen Gate! Congratulations to the elder brother! ”
"Hmph, each other, I think Brother Wang can get his wish and enter the elder group of the lonely family!"
Cheng Yanjin on the beam was shocked for a while, and he didn't expect that these two people were spies sent by the emperor to Li Yuan's side on the surface, but secretly they were people from the other two major gates, and listening to their meaning, they obviously had learned the truth about Li Yuan's recruitment and wanted to take this opportunity to uproot Li Yuan.
These two people have been able to hold on to Li Yuan for many years, and Li Yuan is helpless, he really has some ability, he actually knew Li Yuan's plan so easily, and used this to hit Li Yuan, no wonder the rivers and lakes say that 'people become old and fine', these old things are more terrible than the other, if there is a chance, they should be sent back to the West as soon as possible!
Thank God, if it weren't for Grandpa's whim tonight, I was afraid that the conspiracy of these two guys would succeed, then Li Yuan would really be a good person! Grandpa will go to talk to him in a while, but he wants to see what kind of expression Li Yuan's old guy has when he is surprised.
The two guys below said some more nonsense, and that's what separated. When everyone was gone, Cheng Yanjin searched for a while with heaven and earth to make sure that there was no problem, so he quickly slipped out of the Juncheng Mansion and ran towards Li Yuan's residence.
