Chapter 115: Chengdu Crackdown on Thieves (16)
When the war in Beicheng was fierce, a very inconspicuous and even somewhat dilapidated small teahouse in Xicheng was extremely lively. If Chen Jingxuan saw this scene at this time, he would definitely be surprised! In terms of position alone, every guest here is a highly influential figure in the entire Datang.
Cui Yanzhao, the prime minister of the "Four Famous Fathers" in the capital and the Shangshu Ling, Liu Yonghao, the Zhongshu Ling of Zhongshu Province and two deputies of the Zhongshu Province, the provincial governor of the Men and his two assistants, including the other three famous fathers, the left servant of Shangshu Province, Zhang Weiyi, the secretary of Dali Temple, and his younger brother Zhang Weibo, the chief Hanlin scholar of the Hanlin Academy. There are also Ye Liqiu, the head of the six departments, and even several officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory. But all of them are members of the court.
The teahouse, which was already small, was even more crowded at this time, and there was almost no aisle to accommodate people to walk around. The owner of this teahouse is a distant relative of a confidant of Liu Yonghao, who was recently bought by Liu Yonghao's henchmen at a high price as a stronghold for everyone. It is precisely because of this inconspicuous stronghold that Yoo Yonghao has expanded his team to this day.
Since Zhongshu Province needs to draft edicts on weekdays, it is a matter of great importance, and in fact, it is also involved in military and political affairs, which requires not only high literary talents, but also good political skills. Liu Yonghao, who is the Zhongshu Order, naturally understands the deeds of the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and has realized that there is a problem with Chen Jingxuan a while ago, and Liu Yonghao has realized that something is about to go wrong, and immediately decided to buy this teahouse, and since then he has begun to contact the important members of the DPRK and the Central Committee who may stand with him.
The first work was very unsmooth, when he tried his best to hint at Shangshu Ling Cui Yanzhao, every time he got an ambiguous or even directly pretended to be stupid, he was not good at forcing it, let alone directly explaining the situation. However, Cui Yanzhao did not disappoint him later, and a few days after Lin Feng robbed Tang Xizong, Cui Yanzhao personally showed favor to him, and also promised to personally come to the door to apologize afterwards.
In this way, the two factions of the DPRK and China, led by the two people, finally came together. Of course, Cui Yanzhao's power is more than a little bit greater than that of Liu Yonghao, just take the people in this teahouse, eighty percent of the people are looking at Cui Yanzhao, but you can imagine how miserable Liu Yonghao's Chinese book is on weekdays.
However, Liu Yonghao has a distant nephew, who is an important person who is not tied up by Cui Yanzhao and his faction who are present at the moment. That is Zhong Lihao, the general of the left army of the Shence Army.
In this case, the people in the entire teahouse are also the leaders of the Tang Dynasty in the superficial sense, for them who have no military power, Chen Jingxuan and a group of eunuchs who control most of the military power can make them turn into ashes and disappear with a casual move of their fingers. They were only kept to cause undue turmoil.
But after Zhong Lihao, who is in charge of the left army of Shence, in the eyes of everyone, Liu Yonghao's status is naturally soaring, even if he will be dissatisfied with it in his heart, but on the surface, everyone is nodding and obedient.
"Your Excellency is here! Liu won't talk nonsense! Liu Yonghao waited for the personnel to arrive, secretly calculated in his heart, and after making sure that no one was missing, he gestured to everyone a few times, and said straight to the point: "Your lords must understand that something big is going to happen when you see the current situation!" I won't hide it from you! Liu was free last night, and he had already arranged for his henchmen to go out of the city to meet the Marquis of Zhongwu! ”
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. Although everyone has long been mentally prepared in their hearts for a long time, even if everyone is deeply looking forward to this day, but at this moment, everyone began to feel apprehensive in their hearts, after all, this is a major event that will lead to a different place if there is a slight mistake, and no one dares to take this matter as a child's play.
Especially when they heard the word Zhongwuhou, everyone was happy and worried in their hearts, and the joy was that the Feng family army had not yet lost a battle, no matter from which battlefield, it was invincible. The worrying thing is that the Marquis of Zhongwu has always been barbaric, and he never seems to be reasonable, and he only does things according to his own likes and dislikes. Among them, especially the "Four Famous Fathers" headed by Cui Yanzhao, their baby son's grudge with the Marquis of Zhongwu is not something that can be solved in one or two sentences, in the words of the Marquis of Zhongwu back then, it is the festival of the Zhu clan.
Even though they had made mental preparations before, the four of them at this time still sank their faces, and their hearts began to hesitate. Seeing this, Liu Yonghao, who knew a little about the matter, smiled faintly and comforted the four of them, but he didn't say it clearly, lest he tear the face of the four people and make it difficult for them to step down: "Don't worry about it, my henchmen have already rushed back last night and returned to the house before dawn!" and brought back the news of the Marquis of Zhongwu and the dictation of the Son of Heaven. ”
"Lord Liu, don't you sell it, okay? If you have anything, just say it! Don't hang on to the appetite of the big guys! As a pure literati, Zhang Weibo, a scholar of Hanlin, naturally disdainful and jealous of the barbarism of the Marquis of Zhongwu, so he was in a hurry and opened his mouth to urge.
Liu Yonghao didn't show any anger, just smiled and nodded slightly, and then continued to add: "The Son of Heaven dictated, I hope you Aiqing can distinguish between right and wrong, the Marquis of Zhongwu is not hijacked, but rescued by a secret edict!" ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yonghao paused, smiled and squinted at everyone, as if he wanted to keep the expressions on everyone's faces in his heart. But he caused almost everyone's dissatisfaction, after all, the word he just said to the Son of Heaven was the same as not saying it, and the people present were not fools, who would believe that the Marquis of Zhongwu sneaked into Chengdu Mansion alone in order to kidnap the son of today? If this kind of thing is said, let alone the people of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that even the barbarian states that are not fully civilized will not believe it.
Wait until Liu Yonghao saw the uncertain expression of the "Four Famous Fathers" in his eyes, and secretly enjoyed himself in his heart, before he continued to speak slowly: "Zhongwuhou's original words are a little unpleasant, I hope you don't mind!" Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and do not blame the past. ”
"Presumptuous!!" Shang Shu's left servant shot Wang Feihong could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, his gloomy and blue face could no longer suppress the anger that rushed straight to his brain from the bottom of his heart, and he slapped the case and shouted in a low voice: "Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Forgive somebody's past misdeeds? Who does he think he is? Besides, if we have the power of the army, it is his turn to save us? I'll have already driven out the traitors!" ”
"Lord Wang! Well? Seeing that his assistant and old friend were angry at any time, Cui Yanzhao couldn't help but snort coldly and stopped in a low voice: "Pay attention to your identity!" Also, pay attention to what you say! What you're saying now doesn't just mean you! ”
After listening to Cui Yanzhao's interruption, Wang Feihong suddenly realized that he was too out of shape, his face was unusually embarrassed, and he wanted to apologize to everyone for sneering, but after working hard for a long time, he couldn't even squeeze out a smile, and finally had to give up, bowed his hand to everyone, and sat back with his head down.
His words not only aroused Cui Yanzhao's disgust and anger, but also aroused the contempt of a group of people led by Liu Yonghao, and everyone's eyes were full of disdain when they looked at him. The meaning is very obvious, even if you are given soldiers and horses, you dare to exterminate the traitors? Even if you dare, do you have what it takes? I don't know who was almost scared to pee his pants when the Feng family army first arrived in the city to declare war a few days ago!
In fact, not only Liu Yonghao and others think so, but even Cui Yanzhao understands Wang Feihong's personality very well. I'm afraid that there is no need to go to the battlefield at all, even if a few bandits who stand in the way emerge in the midst of the war, they will be frightened to their knees and beg for mercy, crying incessantly.
