Chapter 614: The Poor Dagger (II)
Wang Cheng is the patriarch of the Wang family, the patriarch has been for many years, about the beginning of the Sui Dynasty he is the Wang family's undisputed scoop handle, the kind of top power figure who determines the rise and fall of the family with a word and a thought, although he did not serve in the court, but the direct nephews and nephews of the Wang family and the Confucian scholars who were raised in the court and the local government have a lot of people, so the Wang family has such great power, can live in one of the famous seven sects and five surnames, power, money, territory, fame, and culture, all of which add up, is the real foundation of a thousand-year-old gatekeeper.
It is said that with Wang Cheng's long-standing experience of ups and downs, this period is the stage of the old fox who has cultivated into refinement, so he should not suffer losses and be deceived, but Wang Cheng did not expect that today he would plant a heel in front of the two juniors, and this heel was not lightly planted, and he blurted out a sentence and forcibly turned the big ship of the Wang family around.
It is taboo to underestimate the enemy, and Wang Cheng underestimated the enemy today. From the moment he saw Li Su, Wang Cheng didn't look at it very much, and his first impression was that Li Su was a yellow-haired boy who couldn't stand up to the enemy, and he first had the idea of contempt, and inexplicably had a sense of superiority of a peerless swordsman against a rookie in the rivers and lakes, and then ...... The boat capsized in the gutter and was planted in the hands of a rookie.
When Li Su sent people out of the city to take down the Lu family, Wang Cheng's brain exploded, and a thought immediately flashed through his mind.
Got caught!
Outside the courtyard of the county office, from time to time, I saw the messengers in soap suits panicking and rushing to the pigs, and the hurried figures flashed from outside the round arch again and again, and even a trace of burnt paste could be faintly smelled in the air......
All the scenes, in Wang Cheng's eyes, are so real, anyone in such an environment, will have no doubt that there are indeed chaotic people attacking the city, and the momentum is huge, Li Ji's Bingzhou soldiers and horses are still blocked at the door of Wang's house, there is no time to rescue, the city guards are weak, vulnerable, Jinyang City is in danger.
At such a critical moment, the chaos of the people breaking the city is imminent, Wang Cheng's first reaction is to be pitted by the Lu family, the Lu family unilaterally tore up the agreement, not only to create a rebellion against the court, but also to end the Wang family, so he seized the wonderful opportunity for Wang Cheng to enter Jinyang City to launch a siege, obviously with the idea of not leaving the chicken and dog, Wang Cheng's second reaction was anger, shame, the patriarch of the dignified thousand-year-old gate valve was actually sold, how can this tone be endured? Li Su broke off next to him, and Wang Cheng stabbed the Lu family out without hesitation, and everyone should not think about it.
However, it wasn't until Li Su ordered the people below to go out of the city to get people that Wang Cheng suddenly woke up.
He was indeed cheated by someone, but the person who cheated him was not the Lu family, but the Li Su in front of him!
Acting skills, enough to get the acting skills of ten little golden people, the military and civilians in the city are all extras, and they are all very competent acting extras, earth-shattering shouts and screams, loud noises from time to time, the smell of burning in the air, and the panicked expressions when everyone hurriedly passed through the courtyard, Li Su stopped drinking and persecuting at the right time......
"Heroes out of teenagers, haha, sure enough, heroes out of teenagers! Li Xianhou's demeanor, the old man finally understood it today, there is no vanity under the fame, the old man admires! Wang Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes flickering with coldness, shame and anger.
Li Su's face was calm, he winked at the king, and arched his hand in confusion: "Why is the head of the Wang family laughing?" Xia Guan really doesn't understand what you mean......"
"Haha, good! Good Li County Marquis, there are people in the world who have the courage to calculate the old man, I am afraid that it is unique, for many years the old man has been smug, thinking that no one dares to bully, Taiping grain has been eaten for a long time, and his mind is slack, and today this heel is not wronged, not wronged! ”
Li Su had an unclear but powerful expression on his face, and praised indiscriminately: "He is worthy of being the patriarch of the thousand-year-old gate valve, and his speech is esoteric and difficult to understand, but it is inexplicably thought-provoking, and the lower officials don't know what to think about, but ...... It's amazing! ”
Wang Cheng's face was pale, his forehead was bruised, and he began to play explosive again......
The two of them are like monks fighting in a sharp way, you come and go, knowing that what you say at the moment is useless, what should be said has been said, and what should have been betrayed has also been betrayed, Li Subing got the key information without blood, and Wang Cheng was defeated.
The situation is irretrievable, the Wang family was forced back to the camp of the imperial court by Li Su, and the allies were sold, and the Wang family had no second choice at this time, so they could only stand with the imperial court with an iron heart.
One old and one young, two foxes fight, and the victory and defeat have been divided.
Only Li Zhi next to him was still at a loss like a dog looking at the stars, and when he found that the conversation between the two was becoming more and more incomprehensible, Li Zhi finally became anxious: "What are you talking about?" What are you talking about? Can you explain what that means? Can I not do when I don't exist? ”
Wang Chengtie blushed, glanced at Li Zhi coldly, and then sneered at Li Suhehe: "The means have been taught, the old man admits today, the things that should be done are handled by the Wang family, and the court does not work hard, this is Jinyang after all!" ”
Li Su smiled and saluted: "In this way, the lower officials thank the head of the Wang family." ”
Pointing at Li Su, Wang Cheng said coldly: "What is given today, the old man has written it down, and it will be repaid in the coming day!" ”
Li Su blinked innocently: "Xiaguan is young and soft-spoken, shouldn't the head of the Wang family think it's Xiaguan's idea?" Before leaving Chang'an, His Majesty summoned the officials to play right, all the actions of the officials in Jindi were granted by His Majesty, the head of the Wang family, the wronged head, the debtor has the owner, the millennium gate valve took down the official and a small county marquis, and it is not appropriate to say it. ”
can't afford to provoke the millennium gate valve, it is not a good thing to be remembered by such a behemoth, and sooner or later the family will be ruined, so Li Su did not hesitate to pull Li Shimin in and carry this black cauldron, as long as the Jinyang Rebellion was handled beautifully, he believed that Li Shimin would not take anything from him, at most it would be a merit and demerit, it didn't matter, he didn't care.
Wang Cheng's expression froze, and sure enough, he ...... Fooled again, he glanced at Li Zhi in disbelief. This time, I learned to be smart, and I didn't say anything, just threw down two eerie sneers, brushed my sleeves and walked away.
I don't have a long memory of people like Wang Cheng, who has just been pitted once, and still has contempt for Li Su in his heart, and stubborn old concepts kill people, he always thinks that the Wang family is the gate valve of the millennium, he Wang Cheng has a very high seniority, and has a great relationship with the heavenly family, even Li Shimin has to respectfully call "Shibo" when he sees him, such a big foundation and power, how can a small county marquis dare to risk such a big disapproval and pit the patriarch of the Wang family in person? Therefore, after Li Su carried Li Shimin out, Wang Cheng could not doubt it.
If this matter is instigated by Li Shimin behind his back, then everything makes sense, the county marquis has no courage to do it, the emperor must have the courage to do it, whether it is a beating, or a warning, the two generations of emperors after the founding of the Tang Dynasty are jealous and wary of their thousand-year-old gate valves, which is a well-known thing, if what Li Su said is true, and he dares to take the initiative to pit the Wang family today, then it proves that the emperor's dissatisfaction with the gate valve has reached a very high level, and it is even so close to tearing his face.
This problem is more important than a lot of troubles in front of him, Wang Cheng must take it seriously, go back and convene the core clan to study and discuss carefully, and demonstrate how dissatisfied the emperor's attitude towards the Wang family is, so as to adjust the Wang family's strategic development plan for the next ten or even decades.
*************************************************************************
Seeing Wang Cheng leading a group of Confucian scholars to rush away angrily, Li Su's upright body was like a punctured ball, and he suddenly deflated, collapsed in the courtyard, and took out a snow-white silk scarf in his arms to wipe his sweat.
Li Zhi was so angry that he jumped to his feet: "Brother Zizheng, what's going on?" What the hell are you talking about? Looking at Grandpa Wang's appearance, it seems that you have fallen for your evil, how did you cheat him? Tell me! ”
Li Su pointed weakly to the outside of the courtyard and said, "Your Highness, listen, is there still the shouting and killing of the rebels attacking the city?" ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and then said strangely: "Don't say it, don't you think, huh?" Isn't it a rebellion of people attacking the city? Why is there no movement all of a sudden? That's right! Just now, the chaotic people besieged the city, and it was impossible to get out of the city, wouldn't it be chaotic for you to send people to the Lu family outside the city to get people? Also, Grandpa Wang also went out of the city with people, and you all seem to care about the rebellious people who are attacking the city, which is really insulting to the rebellious people......"
After a pause, Li Zhi suddenly gasped, pointed at Li Su tremblingly, and exclaimed, "Siege ...... Is it fake? Did you send someone out of the city to do it? You...... You're ......."
"That's audacious, isn't it?" Li Su glanced at him and said leisurely: "Does Your Highness remember the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the state?" A few days ago, the rebels frequently descended the mountain to slaughter the village, and I asked Uncle Li to lead the troops to advance, thinking that it was a deterrent, and during this period, I also sent out a group of 5,000 soldiers and horses to disappear...... Your Highness asked me at the time, I didn't tell you, today you should understand what I am doing with these 5,000 people, right? ”
Li Zhi still looked extremely shocked, and nodded dumbly: "I understand, these 5,000 people, you made them disguise as chaotic people, feint to attack Jinyang, and deter the patriarch of the Wang family, Grandpa Wang was frightened by the chaotic people who were besieging the city, and he was shouted by you, and immediately sold the Lu family......"
Li Su said with a smile: "5,000 people performed the scene of 50,000 people attacking the city, the soldiers worked really hard, and the completion was good, the head of the Wang family is not a fool, he immediately found out that he was fooled, but it's a pity...... After all, it's still a little late, and everything that should be sold has been sold......"
Li Zhi's surprised look was a little admired, nodded first, then shook his head, and sighed: "My father has praised you more than once for your dexterity, decisiveness, and extraordinary mind, so I often praise you for being my Tang Dynasty young hero, since I know you, but I only see your lazy and tired appearance, and there is nothing surprising. ”
Li Su said lazily: "Praise, continue to praise, praise to death, I have leisure today, I will listen to a few more words of praise and don't matter, praise my rhetoric might as well be a little more gorgeous, it is best to go back to the room to write a four-six fu specially used to praise me......"
Li Zhi rolled his eyes, decisively skipped this shameless topic, and said: "Since the person behind the scenes has surfaced, then let's ......"
"We don't have to do anything, and we can't do it, don't forget, the gate valve can't be moved easily, even if it wants to move, it shouldn't be moved by the imperial court, did you see the face of your grandfather Wang when he went out just now?" Li Su smiled evilly: "I dare to guarantee that within three days, the Lu family can disappear on the ground in Jinyang, and those victims who were hidden in the valley by the Lu family should also go out of the mountains in batches to receive disaster relief food outside Jinyang City......
Li Zhi said worriedly: "The Lu family on the ground in Jinyang is just a branch of the Fanyang Lu family, if the Wang family does something to the Lu family, will the Fanyang Lu family ......?"
Li Su fell on the mat, returned to his previous lazy appearance, and said leisurely: "Even if the two families have brains, what does it matter to us?" Your Highness, we are just here to Jinyang to distribute relief food to the victims......" (To be continued.) )
