Chapter 71: The So-Called Crisis
Zhao Yu is not a fool, how can the sinister intentions of the Liao people not be guessed? But what if you know, refuse to answer?
Zhao Yu knew very well that once he accepted the reward of the Liao State, he would inevitably receive all kinds of slander and abuse from the Great Song Dynasty, and even be infamous as a traitor, after all, the Song and Liao struggled for more than a hundred years, and countless soldiers and civilians died because of this, not to mention that the hatred is as deep as the sea.
If Zhao Yu was a person of this era and was influenced by Confucianism, he might really refuse to go to Liao.
But Zhao Yu is not those defenders of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and thousands of years later, whether it is Jurchen or Khitan, they all have a unified name called the Chinese nation.
Zhao Yu may not be able to change anything, but he will do his best to make the people of the Central Plains less poisoned.
Those so-called people with lofty ideals who can only shout slogans end up being just a joke.
And in this era of the jungle, no matter what you do, the first thing you must have is power, and only when you have greater power can you fully display your ambitions.
Fortunately, although Zhao Yu received the holy decree of Emperor Tianzuo, it was almost the same as the one he snatched, otherwise these people around him would have to leave him.
Although the envoys of the Liao State wanted to urge Zhao Yu to leave as soon as possible, Zhao Yu did not pay attention to him, because there were still too many things to arrange, so could he leave in such a hurry?
After staying in the post house at night, Zhao Yu first found Liu Heizi, Fat Tiger and Song Zhong.
As soon as he entered the door, the little brother fell to his knees, and before he could say anything, his eyes turned red first.
"Your brother is not dead, why are you crying? Don't embarrass Lao Tzu, stand up quickly"
Before revealing his identity, he fought with others together, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship.
After the brothers stood up, Liu Heizi took the lead and said: "Sure enough, as expected by His Royal Highness, Li Yan's bastard immediately drove out our people after learning the news that you were demoted."
Fat Tiger took over and said: "Also, the dog thieves on Bianliang Road have also begun to smash our field, and the foundation you have worked so hard to build is over."
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness had the foresight, and the silver we had accumulated through gambling during this period was hidden, otherwise the loss would have been really big."
"Boss Jiang, that guy can't be trusted, after the accident here, I went to look for him, he avoided it, this ungrateful wretch, when I see him again, I have to chop him"...
Brother, you said a word to me, and told Zhao Yu everything that happened in the capital after Zhao Yu was demoted.
Zhao Yu just listened quietly, there was no wave on his face, to be honest, he didn't blame anyone, human nature is evil, there is nothing to be angry about.
Whether it's Li Yan or Boss Jiang, everyone gathers together, but they all use each other, and now they have no use value, and it is really normal for them to draw a line with themselves for their own interests.
"What are your plans for the three of you in the future?"
"Of course we are following His Highness"
Liu Heizi reacted quickly, and as soon as Fat Tiger's words fell, he suddenly remembered that according to His Highness's orders, Bianliang still had more than one million taels of silver buried, could it be that His Highness planned to go back again?
Zhao Yu nodded at Liu Heizi and said with a smile: "It seems that Heizi understands my thoughts, yes, I will go back one day sooner or later, so before that, I hope that someone will be secretly lurking in Bianliang, one is to inform me of the news at any time, and the other is to be ready to welcome me."
Zhao Yu's words seemed to open another door for the brothers, and the hearts of the brothers suddenly brightened.
Although Zhao Yu is still a noble status, after all, he went to a foreign country, if he is not forced to do so, who wants to leave his homeland?
The brothers can stand out among the many gangsters, and their minds are very shrewd, so after Zhao Yu finished speaking, the brothers quickly reacted.
After glancing at each other, they all bowed and saluted: "I am willing to die for His Highness"
"No one is allowed to die, there is glory and wealth waiting for you, you are my most trusted brothers, staying in Bianliang such a dangerous task, and only if it is handed over to you, I am most assured, this time after you go back in disguise, go directly to find someone, and then stay with her, so that even if there is any accident, she can protect you"
Listening to Zhao Yu's words, Liu Heizi couldn't help but ask, "Who is Your Highness talking about?" ”
"Master Li! When you find her, say that I will let you go to her."
For some reason, Zhao Yu intuitively believed that Master Li would definitely help him.
The brothers planned until dinner, and the brothers left quietly, and at this time, Liu Wenguang, the prefect of Taiyuan, had been waiting outside for a long time.
Zhao Yu didn't plan to see him at all, as soon as he was unwell, he asked Yan Qing to send him away, and now he thinks about getting closer, it's too late!
The affairs of the capital have been arranged, and there is still Taiyuan here.
After dinner, Yang Xu, Lu Zhishen, and Shi Qian were brought in by Yan Qing.
The Liao king's robe, golden crown and other items brought by the envoy of the Liao State were still on the table, and after Yang Xu came in and saw it, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and said: "I didn't expect it to be this ending, Your Highness will be more difficult in the future."
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yang is erudite and talented, I don't know how to explain the word crisis?" ”
"Crisis! Danger and opportunity coexist, but His Highness's reputation is about to be ruined."
"Can fame be eaten? There are so many great Confucians in the court, who has made the people full? Who can defend against the enemy? ”
Zhao Yu shook his head while sneering, his eyes turned to Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian, and continued: "Sometimes I really envy Brother Lu and Brother Shi Qian, who are happy and happy, but unfortunately my identity is destined for me to do these things secretly."
"If my brother is unwilling to go to Liao, our brother will find a place to occupy it, and with his brother's talent, he may not be able to make great achievements in the future."
Lu Zhishen is straightforward, he will say whatever comes to mind, if he didn't recognize Zhao Yu, he wouldn't be too lazy to deal with the people in the court!
Zhao Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Yang Xu again: "What are Brother Yang's plans next?" ”
"Your Highness is too unrighteous to ask this, I have already branded your mark on my body, if I don't follow you, will I still have a way out?"
has been with Zhao Yu and his group for a long time, and Yang Xu's words also have the atmosphere of rivers and lakes.
"Haha! It's mine, isn't it, I'm sorry for Brother Yang."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu's face turned pale, and said: "This is my root, one day I will come back, so I also ask Brother Yang to take care of the backyard for me, Brother Lu, Brother Shi Qian, I can't force you to do anything, if it's convenient, please help me."
Zhao Yu's posture is a bit like Tuogu, but the three of them are not ordinary people after all, from Zhao Yu's arrangement and attitude, they have already understood Zhao Yu's thoughts.
Lu Zhishen nodded and said: "I have recently found a few loyal people, and when the situation here is straightened out, I will go to Beijing to find you, and let Shi Qian follow you!" He's fast, and it's best to pass messages back and forth."
Listening to Lu Zhishen's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, turned his head to look at Shi Qian, but saw that Shi Qian didn't say anything, just clenched his hands into fists with a straight face, and then bent down deeply...
