Chapter 27: Jinglong's Scheme
Beimen Bridge is a prosperous commercial area in the middle of the capital near the north of the city, there are many shops, restaurants, among which there is a restaurant called 'Yuquanlou', which looks very simple on the surface, the store is not big, and there are not many people who come and go in and out, but if you observe carefully, you will find that all the people who come in and out here, the material of their clothes is very luxurious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis store is a well-known high-consumption place in Beijing, and all the guests who can enter and exit here need certain conditions, similar to today's high-end private clubs in Beijing.
In one of the private rooms, three powerful men were drinking, and three women were drinking. But the women in this kind of place at that time were not like what we saw in the general costume TV series, the movements of the three escort girls were very natural, their attitudes were very dignified, and they didn't know it, and they thought it was the ladies of the family, which made the two men present very uncomfortable, just drinking there, and every time the man in charge said a word to them, they had to wait a while before they could answer. The man at the head saw that they were uncomfortable, and thought that he had drunk a lot of wine, and he was afraid that he would not be able to talk about things seriously if he was drunk, so he gave the woman next to him a look, and the woman got up and said: "Li Gongzi, the little woman is not strong enough to drink, I'm afraid I'm going to get drunk, how about I find someone to drink with my son?" So saying, he withdrew. The other two women also exited the house.
When they went out, the two immediately gasped for air, and one of them said, "I can't stand this place, I don't feel comfortable." The other man did not speak, but his expression was the same.
The man at the head is Li Jinglong, and the other two people, one is the son of Yang Guoxing, the commander of the original Shenwuwei, and Yang Yi, the hereditary commander of the Shenwuwei, and the other is the son of Sun Xingzu, the Marquis of Yanshan, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, and Sun Ke, who was named the Marquis of Quanning for his merits. Both of them are the sons of Li Wenzhong's old department, and they are also good friends with Li Jinglong, so they were invited by Li Jinglong to come over today.
Li Jinglong said with a smile: "This tune is popular in the capital, of course it is different from the places you have been to below, and you will be in the capital more in the future, so you have to adapt." ”
Yang Yi, who spoke first, said: "I can't stand this, I'd rather go to a place that doesn't look so high-end than come here." With that, he drank another glass of wine.
After laughing for a while, Sun Ke asked, "What is the matter with Brother Li calling the two of us here today?" ”
Yang Yi also asked, "Yes, Brother Li, what's the matter with calling us here?" ”
Li Jinglong smiled: "No hurry. As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a servant walked in, Li Jinglong whispered something, and the servant went out, and after a while, he brought in a middle-aged man who was about forty years old and wearing a standard Taishan Taoist robe.
Yang Yi and Sun Ke were dumbfounded, they never thought that they would see people in Taoist robes in such a place.
The man walked up to Li Jinglong, bowed, and sat down, looking like a standard real person.
Li Jinglong introduced: "This is Gongsun Shu, Mr. Gongsun. Mr. Gongsun is a master whom I have met in the past two years, and I am deeply impressed by his insights into people and things. For convenience, I gave him the identity of a registered disciple of the Taishan faction in Taishan, so Mr. is wearing a Taoist robe, don't misunderstand that Mr. Gongsun is a Taoist priest. ”
Sun Ke and Yang Yi understood that this Mr. Gongsun was afraid that he was Li Jinglong's brain, so they also got up to say hello. However, he ignores it (it seems that all so-called masters are this virtue), Sun Ke sat down quietly, Yang Yi looked like he was going to get angry, but after looking at Li Jinglong, he still endured it.
Li Jinglong hurriedly rescued the scene and said, "Ah, Mr. Gongsun doesn't like to talk. ”
He hurriedly said: "I called the two brothers here today to discuss how to please the Third Highness." ”
"Pleasing the Third Highness?" Yang Yi was puzzled.
"Even if the Third Highness is going to be the prince, haven't you heard that the views of the Third Highness are good for the generals?" Sun Ke also said.
Li Jinglong looked at them with hatred: "Can't your brains turn one more corner?" Whose child is the Third Highness, and whose daughter is the first crown princess? The daughter of King Kaiping! ”
Seeing that Yang Yi and Sun Ke were still puzzled, they continued: "How many generals in the world can fight now? It's not just a few of us! The old department of King Kaiping, who is still in the old department, and there are many second-generation generals who can fight, and the third highness is going to be the emperor, can he not favor them! If we don't curry favor with Your Highness now, when Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, a few of us will be marginalized, not to mention the opportunity to fight, even the rights in our hands will be lost now. ”
Lee's argument makes sense at this point. Although Li Jinglong is not good at fighting, he can see the problem quite clearly (there is also the credit of Gongsun Shu). Now the blue jade case has not happened, and the blue jade case in this time and space may not happen, there are still about 40% of the generals who can fight, and there is no shortage of powerful generals. Even if it is a talent of a general, in addition to Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Wang Bi, Cao Zhen, Zhang Wen, Chen Huan (Ming History Lie Biography 20) and so on. In addition, it may be because Chang Yuchun died early, most of the generals Zhu Yuanzhang got rid of through the Hu Weiyong case were Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, etc., but most of Chang Yuchun's old troops survived. So if Yunxi ascends the throne, they are likely to be marginalized.
Yang Yi and Sun Ke also understood this truth, and they were also anxious, Yang Yi said: "Then what should I do?" Sun Ke also asked.
In fact, Li Jinglong secretly changed a concept here. Although Yang Yi and Sun Ke are Li Wenzhong's old subordinates, they don't necessarily have to be tied to death with Li Jinglong! Yang Yi is just fine, it really has nothing to do with Chang Yuchun Lanyu; Sun Ke Hongwu participated in the Battle of Yuerhai in the twenty-first year, and he was also related to Lan Yu. But here, under the guidance of Gongsun, Li Jinglong used language to fool Yang Yi and Sun Ke. Therefore, when Li Jinglong saw Yang Yi and Sun Ke in the set, his heart was secretly refreshed.
Then at this time, Mr. Nagongsun said: "According to my own view, Lan Yu will inevitably die before the Third Highness ascends the throne, and the current saint will definitely not allow him to live, so as to avoid the excessive power of his relatives; Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, are also highly accomplished, and the Third Highness is too young, so they are afraid that they will be worried about their high merits, and the current saint will not allow them to live until a hundred years later. ”
At this time, Yang Yi interrupted: "You old way, you have said so much, how can we not be excluded after the Third Highness ascends the throne. ”
Yang Yi was annoyed when he heard him speak, but he didn't bother for fear that what he said would be useful to him, and seeing that he didn't get to the point after saying so many words, he interrupted with words.
Li Jinglong hurriedly said: "How can I talk to Mr. Gongsun!" He apologized to Gongsun again: "Mr. Gongsun, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." My brother speaks straight, don't take it to heart. ”
Of course, Mr. Gongsun was annoyed, but he was also inconvenient, so he hurriedly comforted himself: "Before Zhuge Liang was a fledgling in the first battle, he was not respected by Zhang Fei Guan Yu. Then he said, "It's okay, I also know that General Yang is anxious." My view of the Third Highness is a wise person, and he will not allow the Chang family to dominate, and will definitely support another general who is equivalent to the Chang family. In today's court, the only ones who can support it and compare with the Chang family are our Cao Guo Mansion and the Wei State Mansion Xu family. ”
After a pause, he continued: "In this way, we already account for half of the possibility. Isn't His Royal Highness still dealing with the assessment of the military attache in the military department? General Li can go to contact the Third Highness when the Third Highness goes to the school for assessment, of course, after the Third Highness is officially appointed as the imperial grandson, His Majesty will not be taboo at that time; Also, the eldest daughter and second daughter of King Xianzhong were married to King Yan and King Dai respectively, and the third daughter may have been given to His Royal Highness King An, and the general can walk in the future The news has aroused the doubts of His Royal Highness. However, these are indirect approaches. The most direct way is," Gongsun saw that he had successfully attracted the attention of the only three audience members present, and then continued: "I heard that General Li has a younger sister, who is now sixteen years old this year, and has not yet been married, so you can find a way." ”
The words were not finished, but everyone present understood what he meant. It's a good way to do it. Married to him, the emperor could not ignore him. In particular, Li Jinglong himself is a general of the Ming military, with a family background, and he has won Zhu Yuanzhang's praise for going out to train soldiers many times.
Li Jinglong's sister was originally going to discuss marriage with Gu Jing, the son of Hou Gu Shi of Jining, but who knew that Gu Jing was executed in the twenty-third year of Hongwu as Hu Weiyong's remnants, and Li Jinglong's sister was left, and she has not yet discussed marriage. He is exactly the same age as Yun Hee, so he is a very suitable candidate.
Mr. Gongsun continued: "Of course, Your Majesty may not agree, I still have a law, the eldest son of the founding prince Chang Jizong is close to a weak crown, and he has not yet been married, so he can be allowed. ”
Li Jinglong listened to Mr. Gongsun's words and felt so reasonable! As a person who can take shortcuts, of course, I hope for shortcuts. said: "What Mr. Gongsun said is good. ”
Sun Ke laughed and said: "Usually Brother Li has a relationship with Chang Sheng's peers, in that case, Brother Li will be a generation shorter than Chang Sheng." ”
Li Jinglong said with a smile: "My father was originally His Majesty's nephew, and Chang Sheng's eldest sister married His Majesty's eldest son, Prince Yiwen, I was originally a generation shorter than Chang Sheng. Sun Ke and Yang Yi both laughed.
Then everyone discussed for a while, and Li Jinglong said: "Let's be here today, and then everyone has a good time." "Clap your hands and call someone in.
Of course, Mr. Gongsun also wants to play in such a high-end club, but no, he has to maintain his image as a master! So he retired. Li Jinglong also knew that he would inevitably retire, so he hurriedly agreed, got up and sent him out. After Mr. Gongsun withdrew, Li Jinglong called in a few girls and started to have fun with the two brothers.
