Chapter 195: Wen Xianggong's decision
Hearing Xu Shiyang's words, a thug asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "...... over there in Dutingyi, did you set the fire?" ”
"Ah, I didn't mean to." Xu Shiyang replied with a friendly smile: "My purpose was not to set fire, it was just an accident." ”
Your purpose is to kill people! That's worse than setting fire!
More than two dozen green-skinned thugs on the opposite side shouted silently, but none of them dared to speak.
"Alright, Brother Wen, let your friends go home."
Xu Shiyang said happily:
"Let's go back to the house first, I guess Xianggong Wen and Brother Wen Zhong are in a hurry."
That's enough, now, all these people in front of them know what Xu Shiyang did tonight.
Even if the soldiers of the Golden Gun squad covered up Xu Shiyang's actions (which is very difficult), Qingpi would unconsciously help him brag about his proud record of killing all the Tartar envoys.
Xu Shiyang estimated that it wouldn't be long before he became famous in Jiangnan.
For Xu Shiyang, this can also be regarded as a huge gain!
……
Wenfu.
Today is destined to be a sleepless night for many.
In the study of the Prime Minister of Wen, Wen Jiefu himself sat quietly on a Taishi chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Around him gathered Wen Zhong, Wenwen, Xu Shiliu, Zhang Mingyi and Weng Shuping, who had just arrived.
Among these people, except for Xu Shiliu, who has been enjoying tea all the time, everyone else seems to be a little restless.
"Wen Xianggong, this is a big deal, you have to take care of it!"
Zhang Mingyi, who was the first to come to report, couldn't help but persuade in a wail:
"Tonight, no matter whether Xu Shiyang wins or loses, it will not be good for our great cause!"
"Such a disobedient martial artist, it is better to lose!" Weng Shuping added angrily.
"Hehe, Wengshe people, it's better for my third brother to lose?" Xu Shiliu put down the teacup and sneered: "Are you afraid that you will be able to set off your incompetence if you win?" ”
"What do you say? You dare to say it again! ”
"Incompetent!" Xu Shiliu really repeated: "Don't want to forge ahead, you only know that you are partial to Jiangnan, and when others go to kill the Tartars, you will drag your feet behind your back, just for your little face, what is the difference between you and the traitors sent by the Lord and the faction?" ”
"You!"
"Enough!"
Wen Zhong burst into a loud shout, stopping the two from arguing next.
Then, he turned to Xu Shiliu and said:
"Shiliu, you are scolding us all like this!"
I was going to scold you all. ’
Of course, this was not said, after all, from now on, he himself can be regarded as on the same front as these main battle factions in front of him.
"That's my own brother." Xu Shiliu said to Wen Zhong seriously: "Even if my brother really did something wrong, the Weng She people shouldn't say that he is not in front of me. ”
This is the so-called Confucian intimacy and concealment, where the righteousness lies, since everyone is a scholar, then this is the most correct theory.
"What's more, I don't think my third brother did something wrong!"
"Brother Shiliu, you know me!" Zhang Mingyi smiled helplessly: "My relationship with Brother Shiyang is not bad, and today we are still drinking together in Fan Lou!" ”
"But I don't think Shi Yang really should do this!"
"If he wins, the emperor will ......, hey, the emperor will definitely take the initiative to make more concessions in order to appease the anger of the Tartars!"
"If Shi Yang loses, we will lose a general! Winning or losing is not good, so why fight this battle? ”
"Father, that's what the child thinks." Wen Zhong stood up and said to Wen Xianggong, who was still closing his eyes and not saying a word, "We should stop Xu Shiyang from going berserk." ”
"Killing Tartars can boost the morale of the people." Xu Shiliu also stood up and bowed to Wen Xianggong to the end: "Please also ask the teacher to be clear, we are because we have retreated too much and thought too much, which has caused the current situation." ”
"Stop Shi Yang from saying this, there is no need to say it again." Wen Xianggong opened his eyes, glanced at the audience and punched, and then said word by word: "By now, no matter whether you win or lose, the fight over there should be over, what are we going to stop?" ”
"You all don't be impatient, the old man estimates that it won't be long before there will be news from Dutingyi, and when we know the results of the battle, we will discuss how to deal with the aftermath."
Several young men from the main battle faction looked at each other and felt that this was indeed the case, so they just returned to their seats and quietly waited for the news from the Duting Station.
About half an hour later, a subordinate rushed over in a panic, and when he entered the door, he tripped over the threshold and rolled heavily on the ground a few times before he could barely stabilize his body.
"Old ...... Master, Young Master Xu is back......"
"The result?" Zhang Mingyi, the clerk and Weng Shuping asked together.
When Wen Xianggong, Wen Zhong and Xu Shiliu heard this announcement, they were no longer in a hurry - everyone is back, isn't it obvious how the victory or defeat is?
"When the villain saw him, he and his others were covered in blood, and then Young Master Xu bathed in the ......" The subordinate said tremblingly: "The villain also heard ......"
"Hear what?" Weng Shuping asked.
"I heard someone shouting on the street, there is a fire on the side of Dutingyi, and the fire is very big!"
"Well, it's a complete victory." Wen Xianggong nodded and said, "Okay, you go down." ”
"Xianggong, don't you need to call Young Master Xu over to ask?"
"No, he's tired today, let him go to bed early." Wen Xianggong said with a smile on his face: "Tell the back kitchen, make some broth for them, and eat something after bathing." ”
After the subordinate who came to report left, Wen Xianggong got up from the Taishi's chair and walked back and forth in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back.
At this time, no one dared to disturb him, and everyone who was familiar with Wen Xianggong knew that this action meant that the old man was thinking carefully about one thing and was about to make a major decision.
At this moment, he doesn't need anyone's advice.
Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, Wen Xianggong stood still at the door, turned his back to several people in the hall and said:
"This is a big victory, starting tomorrow, use their respective relationships to hype about it!"
"Let everyone in the world know that I also have warriors in Da Zhou! A warrior who can kill Tartars! ”
Wen Zhong frowned and said, "Father, the emperor and the court are ......."
"The Tartar can no longer appear in front of the emperor, what is there to be afraid of?" Wen Xianggong sneered and asked, "From now on, you will not give an inch in the court!" Not only was it canceled with the pro, but the previous 1.6 million two horses were not given! ”
"Father, the emperor and Xianggong Qin will not agree! It's good that they don't consciously increase their coins! ”
"It's okay, you're talking lightly now, it's normal for them to disagree."
Wen Xianggong squinted, looked in the direction of the forbidden city in the dark, and said calmly:
"It's just that when the time comes, what choices the people of the world will make, it's hard to say."
"Find a way to hint at the prince and tell him ......"
"It's been thirteen years since the Jianxing Dynasty!"
