Chapter Fifty-Seven: Storming the Sacred Camp
Not to mention that Ma Yun ate deflated in Sang Mansion, let's look at Feng Yufu on Fu'an Street. Feng Yu had just returned from Menxia Province, and he was still following Liu Yun, the Chinese scholar. The weather was a sunny day, but Feng Yu was frowning, full of anger.
This morning, the emperor announced that Sang Weihan would go to the palace to face the monarch and consult him on the way of money and grain and military affairs. The shadow of the human bark tree, Sang Weihan, the former prime minister, the founder of the Great Jin Dynasty, is indeed talented, and he proposed on the spot that "agriculture is to be a real warehouse, and trade is rich in goods; Promote sincerity and abandon grievances to appease the town; training peasants and practicing war, raising soldiers and resting peasants, and watching provocations and moving", the emperor was very happy at that time and directly appointed him as a privy envoy.
That's it, after all, Feng Yu never thought about it, and he didn't want to serve as this hot privy envoy. Who knows, Sang Weihan did not give up, he said directly, maybe it was something that many people wanted to say but did not dare to say: the defeated Khitan army retreated in two ways, burning and plundering along the way, with a radius of thousands of miles, and the population was rare, this was the time when the imperial court needed to appease the people, but Feng Yu raised taxes indiscriminately, forcibly seized the people's wealth, and the laws were strict, and the people were sentenced to death if they resisted, causing the people to flee one after another, and many people were even worse than dead, which made the prestige and reputation of the Great Jin Dynasty fall to the ground among the people and lose the hearts of the people; The most terrifying thing is that if this thing continues, maybe someone will take a risk and rise up.
Thinking of this, Feng Yu seemed to see the emperor's fierce eyes glaring at him again, and he couldn't help but shudder slightly. Looking at Feng Yu's uncertain face, Liu Yun said: "Xiangye, this finance and tax will be under the management of Sang Weihan in the future, then our life will be miserable." ”
Feng Yu slammed his fist on the desk with a "bang", Sang Weihan's horse face was really eventful. But with taxes, Feng Yu can get nearly one million taels of silver from it every year, not counting the bribes of the Quartet. This horse's face is cutting off my financial route.
Feng Yu said coldly: "In your opinion, what should we do? ”
Liu Yun smiled bitterly: "It's best to let him step down." ”
Feng Yu glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "You may not know, yesterday's father-in-law Gao, who was with the emperor, secretly told me that after Jing Yanguang's bad thing, it turned out that not only Du Chongwei recommended Sang Weihan, but also Gao Xingzhou and Li Shouzhen, who were the envoys of the festival with heavy troops, also recommended Sang Weihan to be the privy envoy; Later, Ma Yun, a fake Taoist priest, said again that he Sang Weihan was still a hero sent by God, and he was now not only expected by everyone, but also had the will of heaven. How can we get rid of him? ”
Liu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Listen to the dog, this Ma Yun has a close relationship with the generals in Hedong." ”
Feng Yu said dissatisfiedly: "Ma Yun jumped off the clown, it is not a problem, this horse face is the most hateful." ”
Liu Yun said with a smile: "Although Ma Yun did not directly recommend Sang Weihan yesterday, we all know that Sang Weihan and Ma Yun also have a close relationship, and this Ma Yun and... ”
Feng Yu understood that there were only two people that the emperor was most afraid of: Yelu Deguang and Liu Zhiyuan. But the relationship between Sang Weihan and Liu Zhiyuan is not harmonious, and it is not easy to find fault in this.
Feng Yu said: "This horse face and the king of Taiyuan are not on good terms, didn't you see it this morning?" Ma Mian suggested that the emperor buy the grain of the big family who set up a righteous porridge shed in Bianjing at a low price, and the largest righteous porridge shed in the capital was opened by Liu Zhiyuan, and I heard that he also transported a large batch of grain two days ago. This move is estimated to make Liu Zhiyuan half angry. The grain was transported from afar, but it was confiscated by the emperor on the pretext, and then the emperor opened a porridge shop to relieve the people. Hehe, the horse's face easily raised food, and it also knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Liu Yun thought for a while and said, "Why don't we expose Ma Yun, a fake Taoist priest, to the emperor, and at the same time pull Sang Weihan into the water." ”
Feng Yu remembered the matter recommended that day, and his heart was tired again, he didn't notice it for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and say that Sang Weihan was the destiny of the earth, and forcibly pushed Sang Weihan to the position of privy envoy. He shook his head and said, "Sang Weihan is careful, his relationship with Ma Yun is probably not going to leave any tricks." I'm afraid it won't work. ”
Liu Yun said: "The emperor has never used Sang Weihan in the past, in my opinion, the emperor does not believe in Sang Weihan's talent, but does not believe in Sang Weihan person, because Sang Weihan has always advocated reconciliation with the Khitan, but the emperor advocates a war with the Khitan to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, the emperor is afraid that Sang Weihan is a person like Feng Dao, afraid that he is not loyal to the royal family, and only cares about maintaining his position." That's why the emperor hasn't used it all the time. Now that the emperor has enabled Sang Weihan, it is not so much that everyone expects it, but that Ma Yun, the fake Taoist priest, said that the emperor was completely relieved. ”
Feng Yu's eyes lit up, and an idea seemed to appear. Liu Yun continued: "It's better for us to find a way to completely expose Ma Yun's true face, Ma Yun is a fake Taoist, then his words don't seem to be true." ”
Feng Yu shook his head: "This method is not appropriate. ”
Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood, and secretly regretted saying this in his heart. Ma Yun was recommended by the queen and Feng Bao, if Ma Yun is a fake Taoist, doesn't that mean that the queen and the Feng family know no one else?
Feng Yu smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry, I already have an idea, hehe, isn't Sang Weihan in charge of the military?" Just wait to see the good shows of Ma Yun, Sang Weihan and Liu Zhiyuan. ”
-------------------
Ma Yun was closed, thought about it and turned back to find Feng Bao, after all, Feng Bao is a local snake, with a hard relationship and a wide range of connections, and he also has a lot of respect for him as a master. At this time, he could only find Feng Bao to think of a way.
Ma Yun hurried from the south of the city to Feng Bao's house in the north of the city, and Liu Zhao was actually there. When Liu Zhao saw Ma Yun coming, he hurriedly asked, "Master, there is something I want to ask you?" ”
Although Ma Yun was anxious, he couldn't say anything, just nodded.
Liu Zhao said: "Master, is our aunt still in the Ba'an shop?" ”
After hearing this, Ma Yun grabbed Liu Zhao tightly and said, "Have you ever seen Jing Niang?" ”
Liu Zhao seemed to be taken aback, took a step back, and said, "Just now I saw a few people tied up a girl and went to the direction of the Gongsheng Camp in the southwest of the city, and the woman's appearance is a little similar to that of my aunt. ”
Ma Yun turned around and walked out, thanked him as he went, and then took Qian Qing and went straight to the southwest of the city. Qian Qing said quietly: "Master, this arch holy camp is a military camp, it is one of the forbidden armies to protect the emperor, let's bring some guys and order all the people to break in." ”
Ma Yun nodded and said, "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, Shi Da and I will go straight to the Gongsheng Camp with weapons; You go to the Zhao Mansion to inform Liao Renyong that their situation has changed, and let them be careful. ”
After a while, Ma Yun returned to Liao Renyong's residence near Ba'anpu, and galloped towards the southwest of the city with a gun, getting closer and closer to the Gongsheng camp, and there was a shout of killing in front of him.
