Chapter 466: Swimming Against the Current
Fame is like a gust of wind, when the wind rises, you stink well, but if the wind turns, your good stinks too.
As Hong Kong Island tycoon Liu famously said: 'Justice is not in the hearts of the people, and right and wrong are only in the current situation.' ’
This thing is actually a bit suspicious of taking off his pants, but it is directly related to legitimacy, and Xu Changqing can't be cautious.
You don't see it, and the eight big characters on the jade seal of the country: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!" ”
If you have the ability to control the situation as much as possible at this time and save some capital, even if you pay some price, it will definitely be worth it.
Zhu Chunchen's gang was cleaned up at this time, and when they think about it in the future, if they don't hug his Xu Changqing's thighs and shout, can they still count on others?
"Uncle, currently in the capital, the news that the lowly brothers can grasp, the Xu family of the Wei State Mansion, probably the power of the descendants that can be effectively mastered, is almost four or five hundred, and most of them are sons and nephews. On the side of the Duke of Chengguo and the British Mansion, including the Marquis of Funing, the number of them may be a little less, but there should be no problem with more than 100 people. As for our Locke family...... In addition to the brothers of the dozens of brocade guards, we also control more than two hundred pure troops, and at this time, they are hidden next to our Luo family's old mansion......"
In the big tent, Luo Xiushen was carefully reporting to Xu Changqing what he had learned.
Because of the delay in this matter, the military discussion must not be carried out normally, Xu Changqing pressed back, after all, if you want to save people, it is definitely impossible to start a military operation immediately, and at this time, considering all factors, it is not a wise thing to break through immediately.
It's just that compared to Zhu Chunchen and them, Xu Changqing trusts the two brothers from Jinyiwei more.
The main reason is that there has been contact before, and Xu Changqing can touch some of them.
"How are these pure army equipment?"
Xu Changqing looked at Luo Xiu.
"If you go back to your uncle, the more than 200 pure troops are all firearms, and the equipment is good, not only more than 20 turtledoves, but also dozens of the latest Baizi guns......"
Luo Xiushen hesitated slightly, and then directly confessed to Xu Changqing.
The so-called pure army is the eunuch soldiers, and the soldiers are all carefully selected strong little eunuchs.
Unlike ordinary soldiers with handles, who generally drag their families with their families, the Jingjun gang has basically been bitter since childhood, after all, no one in the family can sell their sons to the palace as eunuchs.
This also makes these people the least concerned and the best to control.
In contrast, even if Zhu Chunchen and the others are national princes and have respected status, in this regard, they are by no means as chicken thieves as the two brothers of Jinyiwei.
If there is really any big change, it is Zhu Chunchen and them who guarantee to suffer.
Looking at Luo Xiu's eyes, Xu Changqing nodded slowly, and after a moment, he said, "Self-cultivation, you and I are not outsiders." But this matter, if you want to achieve it, someone must pay a sacrifice, are you willing to pay this sacrifice? ”
"Forehead ......"
Luo Xiushen's face suddenly turned red, he had actually met some, Xu Changqing was a little impressed with him, but at this time, Xu Changqing actually said it so clearly, he was really panicked.
He's only in his early twenties, and his good days haven't been over for a few days, but he doesn't want to die......
But at this time, in the face of Xu Changqingyun's light breeze, but it was like the pressure of Mount Tai, he knew that he had no choice.
Hurriedly 'plopped' and knelt on the ground, "Uncle, I can serve you to death, and I can die for my Daming, yes, it is a humble honor!" ”
"Huh."
Xu Changqing smiled, "Slim, you don't have to be too nervous." You are a talent, I really let you go to the charge, I am still reluctant, I need you to go into the city, talk to your brother for me......"
……
After Luo Xiu's body was more than half an hour later, Xu Changqing's big tent was out, but the whole body was as if he had lost a lot of weight, and when he looked closely, he found that the clothes around him were almost glued to his body.
But Luo Xiu didn't stop, nor did he say a word to Zhu Chunchen and the others, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
The military discussion, which had been postponed for more than an hour, finally began again.
Just when the model army camp had just started the military discussion, in the Jingshi City, the former camp Liu Xiyao was stationed near Chaoyangmen Street.
Liu Xiyao was in the warm room, just a small plate of peanuts, drinking a little wine slowly.
"Master, someone is back, but there is only one back, it is the younger brother of the Jinyi Guard who commanded Luo Yangxing, Luo Xiu ......"
"Luo Xiushen?"
Liu Xiyao frowned, slowly picked up a peanut, pinched off the skin, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it.
After a moment, he took another sip of wine before saying, "Keep an eye on him." Remember, don't startle the snake! ”
"Yes!"
Watching the soldiers leave, Liu Xiyao couldn't help but look up at the window: "Xu Changqing, don't you understand what you Liu Ye and I mean, or what's the matter?" What tricks do you want to play with you? ”
After thinking about it carefully for a while, Liu Xiyao still recruited a personal soldier and asked him to report to Li Zicheng.
At this time, in the high-end restaurant near Dashilar, the banquet has come to an end.
Li Zicheng did not choose to go to the imperial city to rest, but simply rested in a military camp not far from here.
Throwing away many colored glasses, Li Zicheng's personal quality, personality charm, including self-discipline, are no problem.
Li Guo finally seized the opportunity at this time and reported the matter carefully to Li Zicheng.
After speaking, he said cautiously: "Emperor, the model army is like a giant beast, we have to guard against it." ”
Li Zicheng nodded slowly, smiled and patted Li Guo's shoulder: "It's good that you have this heart, and you're a good boy." However, there is no need to be too nervous, you can also join you tomorrow when you meet the former Ming Xungui. ”
Li reacted after a while, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Emperor, don't worry, you will do your best!" ”
"Hehe, go ahead."
After sending away the excited Li Guo, Liu Xiyao's personal soldiers also rushed over and reported Liu Xiyao's deployment to Li Zicheng.
"Huh?"
Li Zicheng's brows suddenly furrowed.
Liu Xiyao himself definitely didn't dare to be so blatant, in fact, as early as the morning, Liu Xiyao reminded Li Zicheng of the awakening, Li Zicheng thought about it, there is no harm in this, only the benefits, that is, to inherit.
But Li Zicheng didn't expect Liu Xiyao to dare to release people without permission, and after going out so much, he came back with a Luo Xiushen!
He thought as he walked, returned to the barracks, and just wanted to have someone call Liu Xiyao over to ask him clearly, when suddenly a personal soldier came to report: "The former commander of the Jinyi Guard asked Luo Yangxing to see him." ”
This made Li Zicheng unwitting.
What do you mean?
I didn't plan to do anything with them, but I still dared to come to the door myself?
However, Li Zicheng thought about it for a while, and decided to meet Luo Yangxing first.
At this height, he is no longer as black and white as before, and he is jealous and hateful.
Luo Yangxing took such a big risk to come over, and he would definitely not be untargeted.
"The criminal minister Luo cultivates sex, and he has seen the emperor's ......"
Not long after, Luo Yangxing was brought to Li Zicheng.
"Hehe, you're Commander Luo, right? I've admired my name for a long time. ”
Li Zicheng's attitude was very soft, and he looked at Luo Yangxing with a smile.
Luo Yangxing also saw Li Zicheng for the first time.
In the morning, he didn't go to greet Li Zicheng, mainly because his identity was too sensitive, and he was thinking of smuggling the channel and looking for Li Zicheng alone to report his work, but unexpectedly, Xu Changqing's hand actually reached his side.
He really wanted to refuse Xu Changqing, but after thinking about it, he understood that he had no capital to refuse at all......
Seeing that Li Zicheng was powerful and soft, countless times stronger than the feminine Emperor Chongzhen, Luo Yangxing also relaxed a little, and said respectfully: "Emperor, the guilty minister is here, the emperor must have also received the news, to be honest, the criminal minister is, it is on behalf of the former Ming Zhongyi Bo Xu Changqing to come over......"
As he spoke, Luo Yangxing hurriedly looked at Li Zicheng's expression.
Li Zicheng didn't fluctuate a little, his old face was like an ancient well, so deep that people couldn't see the slightest at all, and after a moment, he suddenly smiled: "Who is Xu Changqing?" I knew he wouldn't die so easily! However, Luo Aiqing, don't talk yet, let me guess, even if Xu Changqing doesn't die at this time, he will be injured a lot, right? ”
"This ......"
Luo Yangxing looked at Li Zicheng, who was calm and calm, and he was under control, and he only felt chills all over his body for a while, these are real heroes on both sides, if he is a little careless, he doesn't even know how to die in this little life.
Busy and respectfully said: "Emperor, you, you are really clever, Uncle Zhongyi was indeed seriously injured, if it wasn't for the desperate protection of the personal guards at that time, I'm afraid it would have been ......."
"Huh."
"That's good. If Xu Changqing died so easily, wouldn't there be a lot less fun in this world? Luo Aiqing, let's talk about it, Xu Changqing called you over, what is the so-called? ”
"Huh?"
"Emperor, Uncle Zhongyi this time, let the humble post come over this time, yes, I want to talk to the emperor about a business......"
"Business?"
Li Zicheng's complexion changed suddenly, and his majestic momentum suddenly came towards Luo Yang like a tide: "He is only a defeated general, what qualifications does he have to negotiate business with me?" Is he worthy! ”
"This ......"
"Emperor, you, don't be angry first, Uncle Zhongyi means that he, he wants to make an exchange with you, and even, if possible, he wants to meet with you and talk to you face to face......"
Luo Yang's soul was about to be scared away, so he hurriedly twisted his thighs and forced himself to finish his words.
"Meet and face?"
Li Zicheng never thought that at such a time, Xu Changqing would actually make such an unbelievable request......
Luo Yangxing also eased up a little, and said respectfully: "Emperor, Uncle Zhongyi said that in order to express his sincerity, he is willing to talk to you in Chaoyangmen......
“……”
Li Zicheng suddenly fell silent.
Xu Changqing's request seems a little unbelievable, but the courage and courage shown in it are also a little admired by him.
In all fairness, if he, Li Zicheng, was in Xu Changqing's position at this time, I am afraid that he would have already led his troops to break through and fled to a safe place first.
Who would have thought that in this state, Xu Changqing would dare to swim against the current so boldly......
"Huh."
After a long time, Li Zicheng suddenly smiled: "It's not impossible to do this, but what qualifications does Xu Changqing have now to talk to me?" His qualifications are not equal to mine! You go back and tell him that if you can't get anything equivalent, let him fuck off! ”
……
The model army battle formation, the military discussion has ended.
Although the generals had a lot of indifference to Xu Changqing's proposal to rescue the nobles and important ministers in Jingli, Xu Changqing had already spoken, and they had no choice but to implement it, and began to quickly pick up the gaps.
Li Yan had to admire Xu Changqing's courage and means.
What is Male Master?
This is the hero!
After everyone left, Xu Changqing was just about to close his eyes and rest for a while, when Dong Yu, who was waiting in the tent, suddenly said in a low voice: "Xu Lang, the queen, the queen mother is here, and said, I want to see you ...... something important."
Xu Changqing had long expected that Empress Zhou would come, but he pretended to be tired and said, "It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
But Empress Zhou obviously expected this, Dong Yu bit her red lip and said in a low voice: "Xu Lang, the queen mother said that tonight, I must see you, otherwise, she won't leave tonight......"
"Huh?"
Xu Changqing didn't expect Queen Zhou to come to this trick, but after all, he still forced a smile and didn't show it, and pretended to be tired and said: "Since that's the case, you go and invite the queen mother in." ”
"Good ......"
