Chapter 53: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"The Great Khan, played by the minions, every sentence is true, Ahsan is so undisciplined, arrogant and selfish, the minions ask the Great Khan to punish him heavily!"
In the Qingning Palace, Tong Yangxing, who was kneeling on the ground, asked loudly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huang Taiji's face was pale, and he looked coldly at Tong Yang on the ground, his chest rose and fell, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"The matter of Ashan, Ben Khan will find out, Efu, you kneel down." After a long time, Huang Taiji said calmly.
"Huh!"
Tong Yangxing shook and stood up, and Huang Taiji saw that his face was pale, his eyes were scattered, and he kept coughing and panting, looking sick.
On the way back from the withdrawal of troops that day, Tong Yang, who was extremely angry with Ah Shan in his heart, was cold and angry because of the cold weather, so that he fell seriously ill.
Huang Taiji then ordered him to step down and told him to take care of his body. Tong Yangxing's face was disappointed, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he had to retreat sullenly.
Huang Taiji then called the eunuch Xuan Fan Wencheng into the palace.
Fan Wencheng was dressed in a heavy fox fur, with the color of wind and snow, and hurried in. Immediately kneeling, Huang Taiji ordered him to get up and sit down.
"Ah Shan violated military discipline without permission, and on the condition of the 600 people who were captured, he fought with Li Xiao, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and Fan Bachelor also heard about it." Huang Taiji's face was gloomy.
"The minister has heard about it."
"Sir, how do you think Ahsan should be punished?" Huang Taiji said in a light tone.
"Great Khan, as a general of the unified army, Ah Shan, disregarding the interests of my Dajin, and fighting privately without authorization, is really extremely inappropriate. The minister thought that this man should be punished. But...... Fan Wencheng paused.
"But what?"
However, Ah Shan's departure has basically destroyed all the villages and forts in the west and north of Jinzhou, captured nearly 2,000 people, and a large number of livestock, but he has done an excellent job of invading the country. This merit and demerit are offset, but they should be punished lightly. Fan Wencheng said in a low voice.
Huang Taiji smiled: "Bachelor Fan's words are deeply in line with the meaning of Ben Khan." In this way, this time, Ben Khan will not take the cattle from his account, and fine him 7,000 taels of silver. ”
"I am wise."
"Mr. Fan, this Li Xiao, why is he still so rampant today, but Ben Khan feels quite strange." Huang Taiji's face was calm, he played with the huge emerald wrench on his right hand, and said as if he was unintentional.
Huang Taiji's seemingly bland words made Fan Wencheng feel cold sweat on his back.
He brushed the ground and got up, knelt down again, and kowtowed again and again: "The sinner is incompetent!" Although the garrison king Daoqi received a gift from our army, he has been delaying the matter of getting rid of Li Xiao, so that Li Xiao has survived to this day. ”
"Hehe, Master Fan doesn't have to blame himself too much, get up quickly, this is all because of the two ends of the Ming Kingdom Garrison King Dodge. However, the Han people have a good saying that if a donkey does not go uphill, it has to be driven with a whip. I've heard this too. Huang Taiji's big cake face was sneered again.
"The criminal minister understands the meaning of the Great Khan, and when he goes, he must put pressure on the king Dodge and let him understand that my gold, silver and jewelry are not so easy to take!"
After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he gritted his teeth, and his face was ruthless.
"Well, this matter must be done as soon as possible, and there must be no further delay." Huang Taiji stood up, and a cold light shot out of his two squinted eyes, "Ben Khan, I don't want this Li Xiao to live this year again." ”
"The minister understands!"
。。。。。。
Wang Daoqi's house, inside the secret room.
Zhang Degui, the shopkeeper of the Daguang Cloth Shop, looked anxious, sat opposite the garrison King Dodge with his feet bent.
Wang Daoqi, who was sitting opposite, had gloomy eyes and an expressionless face.
"Lord Wang, the matter of getting rid of Li Xiao really can't be delayed any longer, Lord Fan asked the little one to pass the word, saying that if you don't make a move, he will 。。。。。。 it."
When Zhang Degui said this, he suddenly held back.
"It's going to give the evidence of the official's relationship with the Tartars to the governor and the ancestor marshal, right?" Wang Daoqi sneered and said lightly.
"Ahem, my lord, you are a very sensible person, how do you need to let things get to this point. These two things hurt both, why bother! Zhang Degui sighed and shook his head, with a reluctant expression.
Wang Daoqi was like a wood carving, silent for a long time, and the secret room was full of extremely oppressive silence.
"Then Master Fan, have you ever explained when you want to get rid of Li Xiao at the latest?" Wang Daoqi finally said lightly.
"Years ago! It has to be years ago! Lord Fan repeatedly emphasized this time limit to the little one, saying that this was the last period that the Great Khan of the Jin State could tolerate. Zhang Degui looked anxious and said anxiously.
"Okay, you go back to Lord Fan, say that I'm King Dodge, and I will definitely try my best to do this before this time limit." Wang Daoqi gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"That's a good idea! Get rid of this Li Xiao, Jin Guo has one less strong opponent, and the adult also has a thorn in the flesh, isn't it good! In the following, I wish Lord Wang success. Zhang Degui breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Wang Daoqi.
The two chatted a few more words, and Zhang Degui got up and left.
"I hope that Lord Fan will do it as soon as possible, and I can also pass on the good news to Lord Fan as soon as possible." Before Zhang Degui left, he gave another admonition.
"Don't worry, Wang will take care of this matter." Wang Daoqi squeezed out a smile on his face and said lightly.
When Zhang Degui walked away, Wang Daoqi, who had a gloomy face, called Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the family who was eavesdropping in another dark room next to him, and his relatives Huaji came out, and sat in the hall to discuss together.
"Now that the Tartars are so tightly pressing, what should we do with them?" Wang Daoqi said worriedly.
"Alas, now this Li Xiao, who has just won a head-to-head victory with the Tartar general Ashan, is already spread all over the streets and alleys in Jinzhou City, and everyone knows it. This person's reputation is now as famous as a big hero, but it is even more difficult to do it now than it was a month ago. Ren Guangyuan also looked worried.
"Alas, this official doesn't know either! I only hate the Tartar chief Hongtai, blindly urging, saying that I will go to take Li Xiao's dog life before the official year, then Li Xiao is so famous now, I will go to him, isn't it to take millet from the fire, and if he is careless, he will trap himself. It's just that if he delays any longer, then Fan Wencheng will turn his face and hand over the handle to the governor and the general army, but it will be a disaster to exterminate the clan! Nai, nay. The more Wang Daoqi spoke, the more annoyed he became, and let out a long sigh.
Wang Daoqi sighed to himself, and at this time, Hua Ji, who had not made a sound, actually laughed faintly.
"Hua Ji, why are you laughing?" Ren Guangyuan's words were quite dissatisfied.
"Lord Wang, but relieved, in the next few days, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have a plan to offer to my lordship." Huaji pretends to be mysterious.
"Oh, but what's the plan?"
"This plan is to kill two birds with one stone!" Hua Ji said word by word.
Wang Daoqi heard Hua Ji's words of trickery, and he was stunned by Ren Guangyuan.
"You don't sell it, come quickly." Wang Daoqi said hurriedly.
"My lord, if you want to get rid of Li Xiao, you will be safe. Now that Li Xiao's reputation is growing, it is difficult to get rid of it urgently, but if he commits a crime and seeks his own destruction, in this case, wouldn't we be famous? Hua Ji's face was colorful, and his eyes were looking forward.
"What do you mean?"
"My lord, according to my understanding, every year when the New Year is approaching, the amount of goods smuggled by the shopkeeper to the Jin Kingdom will definitely increase a lot. And because the road is difficult to walk, it is generally by sea. Therefore, when I think about it, I can write an article from here. Hua Ji's voice lowered.
"Go on."
"Lord Wang, now that Li Xiao is in the Pier of No Return, because the Lord has been stuck in his supply of money and food, so this guy is extremely short of money and salary, and he must try his best to raise money. If we secretly reveal the smuggling of Shopkeeper Zhang to him, then Li Xiao will be extremely happy when he hears such an opportunity to make money, so he will send troops to seize Shopkeeper Zhang's goods and ships. I dare to predict that Zhang Degui and his gangster swordsmen are by no means the opponents of Li Xiao's army, and they will fight to the death, and in the end they will be difficult to defeat Li Xiao's army. ”
Hua Ji swallowed his saliva, and seeing that the two of them were listening attentively, he continued to say: "Although Li Xiao succeeded, his subordinates will definitely be exhausted and suffer quite a lot of casualties in this battle. At this time, our army hurriedly dispatched to accuse them of killing merchants and robbing goods without permission. Then immediately attack the remnants of Li Xiao's tired division, so that Li Xiao's entire army can be wiped out with one blow! Not only can adults get rid of Li Xiao, but they can also get a large number of Zhang Degui's assets and goods out of thin air, isn't it a good plan to kill two birds with one stone? ”
When Hua Ji said this, he couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face.
"Huaji, a good plan!" Ren Guangyuan next to him looked excited, he thought about it, and asked casually: "What if our army defeats Li Xiao and finds that Zhang Degui is not dead?" ”
"Hmph, at this time, he has to die if he doesn't die, anyway, the crime of killing him must be borne by the dead Li Xiao." Hua Ji's face showed a cruel smile.
"Haha, Huaji's plan is really good. It's a pity, that Zhang Degui came to urge him from time to time, but he never knew that the day he got rid of Li Xiao was the time when he finally wanted his own life. Then this matter will be arranged by you Huaji. Wang Daoqi said this, with a happy smile on his face, and a pair of squinting eyes were full of cold light flashing.
"Don't worry, adults, small ones will do good errands." Hua Ji clenched his fists.
"My lord, what if Jin Guo doesn't admit it then?" Ren Guangyuan asked again.
"Hmph, how could it be. Although this Zhang Degui is dead, there are still a few detailed works to contact the official, as long as that Fan Wencheng is not stupid, he will not give the official benefits. After all, he will definitely have more places to use his official in the future. When Wang Daoqi said this, his face became more and more proud.
The three of them laughed together, and the secret room was filled with happy air.
。。。。。。
In the middle of December of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Li Xiao was practicing calligraphy in the official hall, and Tian Wei, who was smiling happily, walked quickly into the official hall, and then closed the door casually.
"Mr. General, I have a happy event to tell Mr. General today." Tian Wei's face was happy, the beard on his face was beating, and he dragged a chair and sat down.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Xiao stopped practicing calligraphy.
"There is a rich deal, I don't know if you dare to do it?" Tian Wei squinted and smiled.
"Sell less, say it quickly." Li Xiao sank his face.
Tian Wei grinned and told Li Xiao about the escort man Zhou Qi who met the big light cloth on the way to Jinzhou today.
"My lord, I heard that Zhou Qi dared to snatch the adult's mount before, he was really daring, hum, if he met me that day, I would have split this guy in half with a knife." When Tian Wei said this, he made a gesture of chopping knife with a fierce face, and then he said to Li Xiao with a smile: "However, this time I saw this person in Jinzhou, and his words were respectful. He told me that later this month, that Zhang Degui should hurry up and send a large number of goods to the Tartar side before the end of the year, but it is worth a lot, and if we can take the opportunity to do it, this is a wealth that can be caught by hand. ”
Tian Wei's words were low, but there was light in his eyes.
"That Zhang Degui ignored the laws of the imperial court and secretly smuggled to the Tartars, but he deserved to die! It's just that this week's strange words, how many are they credible? Li Xiao frowned.
"My lord, this man told me that the reason why he told me about this was because some time ago, because he missed the hour for drinking and gambling, and was scolded and fined by the shopkeeper, so he held a grudge and wanted to take revenge. He proposed to his subordinates that if our army seized this batch of smuggled goods and could share one-tenth of them, he would be satisfied. Tian Wei continued.
"Hehe, aren't you afraid that he is purely lying to you, how can you believe this?" Li Xiao laughed.
"My lord, I feel that there is such a wealth sent to the door, and it is a pity not to try him. Even if it is a trip into the air, there will be no actual losses for our army. Tian Wei saw that Li Xiao was suspicious, and hurriedly persuaded.
Li Xiao didn't speak, he stood up and walked slowly a few steps in the room, the gaze in his eyes was obviously sharp.
