Chapter Ninety-Eight: Advance Surrender
Li Haochen nodded after listening to Fang Xuanling's words, and said with emotion: "Qin Qiong is a veteran military general with outstanding character, I naturally have the heart to recruit, but last time at the door of the inn, he refused Ben Hou's solicitation, and his attitude was very resolute, which made Ben Hou very embarrassed?" ”
What Li Haochen meant by the embarrassment was that if he killed Qin Qiong, he felt that it was a pity for Qin Qiong's talent, and if he didn't kill Qin Qiong, he would help Li Shimin wholeheartedly, I am afraid that he would be a great enemy in the future.
Fang Xuanling, as Li Haochen's think tank, naturally understood Li Haochen's words, and then smiled slightly: "General, in fact, there is no need to be embarrassed, there is a way for subordinates to make the general happy, but this method is a little unacceptable, I don't know if the general will do it." ”
Li Haochen deeply felt that Fang Xuanling always liked to talk half of his words recently, so he had the heart to knock him and said: "Mr. Fang, Ben Hou and you are called guest hosts, they are actually brothers, Ben Hou thinks he treats you honestly, why does Mr. always leave half of his words recently, I don't know whether to consider Ben Hou, or if Mr. is defensive of Ben Hou?" ”
Fang Xuanling listened to Li Haochen's unkind words, and suddenly saw sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The general atonements, Xuan Ling should be a damned person, it is the general who works hard to go down to Xuan Ling, Xuan Ling is willing to go to the knife mountain and the oil pot for the general in this life, how can he be guarded." Xuan Ling didn't tell the general directly just now, it was just because he was afraid that the general would be angry! Didn't think about the general's heart! ”
After listening to Fang Xuanling's explanation, Li Haochen, who deliberately pulled his face just now, softened his expression a little, and these Fang Xuanling also saw it in his eyes, so he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said directly: "The subordinate was originally a colleague of Qin Qiong, and he also dealt with General Qin when he was in Tiance Mansion earlier. knows that this person attaches great importance to filial piety and righteousness, and is a rare general. The general can also take a fancy to him, but he has a good vision, and his subordinates are willing to fulfill their wishes for the general. ”
Li Haochen has learned from the literati of this era, no matter when and where, it is impossible for them to speak too bluntly, but Li Haochen still understood Fang Xuanling's meaning, so he helped Fang Xuanling up with a smile and said: "What does Mr. Fang mean is to go for Ben Hou to persuade Qin Qiong to get lost?" ”
Fang Xuanling nodded at first, and then shook his head and said: "The general is only half right, just now his subordinates said that this Qin Qiong is a person who values filial piety and righteousness, although his subordinates have dealings with him, but this alone can't convince Qin Qiong." The subordinates knew that Qin Qiong did not participate in the Xuanwumen Mutiny, which showed that he was not a staunch supporter of Li Shimin, and he had great righteousness in his heart; I also heard that he resigned to His Majesty a month ago and returned to his hometown, but now he is helping Li Shimin to fight against the general, and his subordinates boldly guess that Li Shimin must have threatened Qin Qiong to comply, so that today's situation will occur! ”
Li Haochen nodded, sighing in his heart that he was too anxious and didn't think things through, if it was really as Fang Xuanling said, if there was something in Li Shimin's hand that Qin Qiong was afraid of, I am afraid that even if he said that Qin Qiong would not be lost.
Although Li Haochen heard the trickiness in Fang Xuanling's words, he was still a little puzzled after thinking for a moment: "As Mr. expected, do you know what Li Shimin has in his hands that can make Qin Qiong back His Majesty, but help him to abuse?" ”
Fang Xuanling was beaten by Li Haochen just now, and he didn't dare to sell anything at the moment, so he hurriedly said: "Back to the general's words, the general doesn't know, Qin Qiong's father died early, only he and his widowed mother have been dependent on each other, just now his subordinates said that Qin Qiong is a person who values filial piety and righteousness, if his subordinates guess correctly, Li Shimin should have secretly arrested Qin Qiong's mother to Yunzhou." ”
Fang Xuanling's words made Li Haochen suddenly realize, and nodded again and again: "If Qin Qiong's situation is really as Mr. said, Ben Hou is afraid that this matter is true." I'll send a book to the intelligence bureau in Yunzhou now, and ask them to inquire about the situation, if it is really as Mr. analyzed, Ben Hou will find a way to bring Qin's mother back, and then trouble Mr. to run away, I don't know how sure Mr. can be?"
Li Haochen finally understood at this moment why Fang Xuanling's words were subtle just now. Secretly thinking in his heart, threatening Qin Qiong to surrender with Qin's mother, this kind of behavior is tantamount to a villain's practice, Fang Xuanling has always known what he is a person, and he is afraid that he will not agree to do so. I really don't want to do that. However, Li Haochen thought about it, Qin Qiong is a general, in order to be able to get Qin Qiong's help, he doesn't care about being a villain, since he can do such a villainous thing, why can't he.
Thinking like this, Li Haochen's psychological burden was much smaller, and the application that was still a little tangled on his face just now was also stretched out at this moment.
Fang Xuanling's next words really did not disappoint Li Haochen, Fang Xuanling said with a confident smile on his face, "If it is really as expected by his subordinates, the general can take Qin's mother to Bianzhou again, and his subordinates are at least eighty percent sure that Qin Qiong will rebel, if he can get Qin's mother's approval again, his subordinates can tell the general with certainty that he doesn't need his subordinates to come forward, Qin Qiong will definitely come to see the general in person!" ”
Listening to what Fang Xuanling said so firmly, Li Haochen no longer had any hesitation, and directly repaired a book and secretly passed it to Li Chunfeng with a flying pigeon. Thinking that the nail he had planted beside Li Shimin had finally worked, Li Haochen couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, but fortunately he was prescient.
With the help of the Datang Intelligence Bureau and with the acquiescence of Li Haochen, Li Chunfeng really did a few harmless things for Li Shimin, and won the trust of Li Shimin.
On the contrary, Li Chunfeng is becoming more and more important, and there are gradually signs of replacing him, which also makes Du Ruhui very anxious, he is not worried that he is about to fall out of favor with Li Shimin, but that he always feels that Li Chunfeng's purpose of helping Li Shimin is not pure. It is precisely because of this that Du Ruhui did not hesitate to take risks in order to regain Li Shimin's trust, and secretly planned this episode of kidnapping Li Chengzong behind Li Shimin's back.
Because Du Ruhui was acting secretly, Li Chunfeng naturally didn't know what happened, and when he received Li Haochen's flying pigeon letter, he was also secretly surprised, although Li Haochen didn't use any harsh words for him, but if it was really what Li Haochen said, then for Li Chunfeng, it was a major mistake in his work.
However, now that he has received the letter, Li Chunfeng himself knows in his heart that this matter may be true. Thinking like this, Li Chunfeng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately began to investigate.
