5. Feng Tianyuan from the party
In the next few days, Gao Yue and Wei Gao exposed the impeachment of Zhang Yansheng and sent it to Fengtian City like raindrops.
But Zhang Yansheng is miserable, now the post roads between Shu and Jinggi are all controlled by Gao Yue and Wei Gao, and his recitals are written one after another, but none of them are sent to Li Shi's eyes.
Li Shi walked around the hall in the pavilion of the bell tower, full of anger.
The scholar Zheng Qi was annoyed and frightened, and kept explaining in front of the emperor that Gao Yue and Wei Gao deliberately provoked the Xishan army to rebel and expel Zhang Yansheng in an attempt to covet Shu.
"Civilization, I know everything you said, but Gao Yue and Wei Gao, these two ghosts, are very good, and they also elected Li Sheng as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, even if I want to sanction them, where does the handle come from?" Li Shi was also distressed.
Zheng Qi then begged: "As long as Your Majesty upholds the righteous heart and stirs up turbidity and purity, is it not the same whether you have a handle or not?" β
"Your Majesty, now for the world, it is indispensable to lose Zhang and extend the reward, but it is absolutely impossible to lose the land." Hanlin Scholar Wei Cigong immediately refuted Zheng Qi, meaning the emperor, you are still worried that the wealth of Xia Shu will not be delivered.
Wu Tongxuan and Wu Tongwei immediately echoed Wei Cigong, "From what Zhou said, how does Your Majesty know that Gao Yue and Wei Gao are not sincere?" β
"Isn't Gao Yue's adultery clear enough now?" Zheng Qi became sad and angry, and then accused Wei Cigong of being a friend of Gao Yue and harming justice with his old feelings.
"Civilization said so, aren't you and me friends of the same year, if my Wei Cigong's words are inappropriate and perverse, please be discharged immediately!" Wei Cigong was unmoved.
"Hmm......" the emperor hesitated again.
"It is not difficult for a gentleman to be a governor, but it is difficult to deal with things, and if you only talk about right and wrong, and do not talk about interests and disadvantages, you can't do it." Wei Cigong Zhen Zhen Zhen has words.
"Your Majesty!" After all, Zheng Qi was sincere, and immediately began to cry.
But Wu Tongxuan and Wu Tongwei said: "Gao Yue and Wei Gao are in charge of the Western Han Water, Bao Xishui and Shangjin Dao, and assist Liu Envoy to transfer wealth. β
Lu Zhen was silent.
The emperor looked at Lu Zhen and asked, "What does Lu Jiu think?" β
Lu Zhen still didn't speak.
The Emperor asked again.
Lu Zhen came back to his senses at this time, and said leisurely, "The minister is thinking, if Gao Yue and Wei Gao are really traitors, then why did the holy anchor have to saddle the front and back of the horse when he moved to Fengtian?" β
These words pierced the emperor's heart, and Li Shi immediately stopped speaking.
After a long time, Li Shi said to Zheng Qi, "Make a document, let Zhang Yansheng come to Fengtian, I will let him go back to Beijing to do things in the imperial court and show his strengths!" β
Zheng Qi could only grit his teeth and express unconditional obedience.
It's over, it seems that although the father-in-law has picked up a life, Xichuan has lost it, allowing Gao Yue to benefit.
Why, Gao Yue, why are you doing this to me?
At this moment, Zheng Qi's heart was full of incomprehension and anger.
Afterwards, the emperor personally received Zheng Qi in the bedroom of the building behind the pavilion, and personally promised Zheng Qi that Zhang Yan rewarded me to make him the prime minister.
After receiving the emperor's personal assurance, Zheng Qi's mood eased slightly.
And the emperor was very angry, and said to Zheng Qi, Gao Yue and Wei Gao also began to be arrogant and act recklessly, civilized, you can rest assured, and I will immediately issue an edict to reprimand them.
Behind the screen, Wang Guifei, Tang An, and Yiyang were doing needlework, and Yiyang stuck out his tongue and asked quietly if this would be true?
Wang Guifei smiled silently.
Tang An's face was very calm, as if he already had an answer.
Sure enough, the next day, Liu Yan came to the hall to pay homage to the emperor, Zheng Qi sat beside him, Liu Yan directly congratulated the emperor, saying that the two taxes of Shu had been collected in advance, and Wei Gao and Gao Yue, who were settling down in the capital of Shu, wanted to carry the money along Hanzhou, north to Lizhou Sanquan, and then board the ship in Sanquan, and directly transported to the Dasanguan in the north of Fengzhou through the West Han River (Jialing River), which can enter Fengxiang and then enter Fengtian.
Immediately, Zheng Qi was shocked: the emperor who said last night that he would reprimand the two of them immediately smiled, saying that Gao and Wei were difficult in the past, but now they have to work hard, and I want to issue an edict to praise them, and give gold and silver utensils.
In addition, the emperor also said to Liu Yan that I granted Li Sheng's request, and Zhao Guangxian was the assassin of Yangzhou and Wang Tong was the assassin of Lizhou, but Li Sheng's son-in-law Zhang Yu was not allowed to assassinate Jianzhou, and he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
This is the emperor's last bottom line.
As for Gao Yue's request to nominate Han Tan, Zhang Hao and others, it is also permitted.
Zheng Qi sighed deeply in his heart, closed his eyes, and understood everything while in pain.
In this year, you have the right to have soldiers and money, and even the emperor of Chang'an has to come to slap you.
What's more, Gao Yue and Wei Gao are absolutely upright and upright "Fengtianyuan from the party", and letting the emperor punish them is not equivalent to asking the emperor to abolish himself? The original ones were really too naΓ―ve.
Zheng Qi couldn't help but think of Gao Yue's words that mocked him earlier:
"You Xingyang Zheng family come out, all of them are muddy, like stubborn donkeys."
Indeed, he is not as good as Lu Zhen in terms of flexibility.
At the beginning of April, in front of the Lizhou Sanquan Military Academy, the carriages, horses and boats were boiling, and after the taxes on the Shu land were exchanged for money and silk, they were loaded into the ship here, and the ships with the red flag lined up in a long line along the West Han River, and went straight to the Xing and Feng Erzhou in the north.
On the board of each ship, there are one or two soldiers of the Fengyi Army, marking the lifeline of this Shu land connecting Fengtian City, which is controlled by Wei Gao.
Gao Yue also led the rewarded White Grass Army, returned to Xingyuan Mansion in a mighty way, and also brought 100,000 yuan of private wealth, which Gao Yue wanted to use for the shipyard.
This time in Shu, it is really a big gain, in addition to the money, there are hundreds of craftsmen in hand.
Now it depends on my Xingyuan Mansion and Shangjin Dao, and it must not be inferior to Wei Gao's performance.
Gao Yue, who entered the mansion, soon got the letter, which came from the post road, and the messenger was Jia Tan, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao.
Jia Tan said that after ten days, he invited the Baicao Army and the united children of Liang, Li, and Yang Prefectures to enter Shangjin Fort and supervise the water and land passage from here to Xingyuan Mansion.
Because Han Yun had also collected the two taxes of the year in advance, he organized a team to enter the ship and was coming to Xiangyang City.
Almost at the same time, Han Rong's messenger also arrived at Xingyuan Mansion, and after being invited by Liu Yan and Gao Yue, Han Rong promised to give Gao Yue four Qianhuping boats, and he would directly let the ships arrive at Xingyuan Mansion in the process of transferring, and Gao Yue would receive them.
And Han Yun also generously agreed, a total of 200 Xuanrun's crossbowmen on these four Qianhu ships, all of them were given to Gao Yue, for a period of three years, Gao Yue guaranteed their money, and they could teach the crossbow machine skills of the White Grass Army, which was his heart for Gao Yue.
"Xuanrun crossbowman, megatron the world, being able to come to Xingyuan is really like a tiger with wings!" Gao Yue was overjoyed, thinking that he could now practice the army's crossbow shooting skills.
But before, Gao Yue's most concerned things were the shipyard, the second was the camp, and the third was the establishment of the Caoyun Patrol Institute.
Soon, Gao Yue decided to set up a boat yard at the confluence of the Laozhu River and the Han River in the south of Fucheng.
And in the northwest of the province in the mouth of Chiyakou, set up a Caoyun patrol institute and a military depot.
