Chapter 141: People die for money, and birds die for food
The tall gate and the wide courtyard wall.
On the lintel of the house gate, a plaque is hung high, and three big characters are written on it, "the first in the service".
On both sides of the gate are displayed halberds and upper horse stones. Two carriages were parked in the open space in front of the gate.
Wen Daya and Feng Daoyan got out of the carriage respectively.
Feng Daoyan looked at Wen Daya.
Wen Daya dusted off the sleeves of her robe and looked at Feng Daoyan with a calm bearing.
Feng Daoyan stepped forward and bowed and said, "I've seen Wen Shangshu." ”
Wen Daya took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Got the news?" ”
Feng Daoyan nodded, and said excitedly: "I just got the news that the general of the Left Guard, Wei Chi Jingde, led 30,000 elites to Lingzhou to quell the rebellion. ”
Speaking of this, he raised his head, looked at Wen Daya with a look of hope, and said, "What did Wen Shangshu say?" ”
Wen Daya didn't answer his question, and shook the sleeves of her robe: "Go in, don't let the old waiter wait for a long time!"
With that, he stepped up the steps.
Feng Daoyan's face darkened, and he also flicked the sleeves of his robe, and followed Wen Daya into the mansion.
……
Yu Wenshi sat in front of the bookcase, his eyebrows lowered.
Wen Daya and Feng Daoyan stood on both sides.
Feng Daoyan looked incredulous, and asked: "Old waiter, isn't it a good thing that Your Majesty transferred Chi Jingde out of Beijing at this time?" ”
Wen Daya glanced at him and replied lightly: "My Tang Dynasty generals are like clouds, famous generals are like rain, and I am just a traitor, why do I need to go out with the dignified General Zuowei?" ”
Feng Daoyan asked heavily: "Are you saying that Your Majesty has already prepared...... Then why don't you persuade Zheng Gong to be restless? ”
He paused, and then said: "If Your Majesty had been prepared, we have less than 100,000 private soldiers, and if we can succeed, it will be called a strange thing. ”
Wen Daya's eyelids drooped, and she asked calmly: "The arrow is on the string, I have to send it, do I have to wait for death?" ”
Feng Daoyan immediately said: "If you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, and we are in the Kanto region, I am afraid it will be difficult to be perfect!" ”
Wen Daya said quietly: "It's just a suspicion now, and those who become big things need to be informal......"
Feng Daoyan spread his hand and said: "The Zheng clan of Xingyang is now the descendant clan, and it is unspeakably expensive. If Zheng Gongbao hides evil intentions and lures us to be fooled, the Son of Heaven is worried that he can't find an opportunity to weaken our world, how can he let it go of such an opportunity? ”
Yu Wenshi slowly opened his mouth and said: "The Son of Heaven is not confused! ”
Feng Daoyan was stunned.
Wen Daya lowered her head and said, "That's what the old waiter said." ”
Seeing that Feng Daoyan was still puzzled, he explained: "Tiele rebelled, and all the people who handled it have been wiped out, and it is impossible to find evidence. ”
Feng Daoyan was stunned and sneered: "Guilty and punished, how to block the world's mouths?" ”
Wen Daya smiled slightly: "In Your Majesty's opinion, this is completely possible. Since the Taiyuan Wang clan and the imperial court were estranged, the Taiyuan Wang clan immediately assisted Liu Wuzhou, and instantly eroded the entire Hedong, and later the Hebei clan helped Liu Shishan, and eroded the entire Hebei 39 states in three months, which is the usual trick of our clan gate valve, Your Majesty does not need evidence, guess can also guess! ”
The relationship between the clan and the imperial court is the relationship between the chairman and the shareholders, and they have cooperation and fighting.
This time, according to inertial thinking, the real cause can also be guessed. After all, the imperial court has tried its best to weaken the Tiele Ministry, and now the Tiele Eleventh Division is rebelling, and the armor and blades used are rare in the world, and the Tiele people should not have access to these resources at all.
Feng Daoyan took a deep breath and said, "So Your Majesty sent Wei Chi Gong to Lingzhou to investigate this case." So Your Majesty still wants to weaken our race! ”
There was indignation in his tone.
Yu Wenshi took a deep breath and said, "The key is not here. ”
Wen Daya and Feng Daoyan were stunned.
Yu Wenshi stood up, and the two stepped forward to hold his arm.
Yu Wenshi slowly walked to the outside of the study, gently twisted his beard, and said, "The key is, what does the Emperor mean!" ”
Wen Daya and Feng Daoyan's faces changed color at the same time.
Feng Daoyan asked in a lost voice: "Could it be that the Emperor Taishang is unwilling?" ”
Yu Wenshi sighed and said: "You don't know our Emperor, and you don't want to think about it, if the matter is leaked, is there room for relaxation between the Emperor and His Majesty?" ”
Feng Daoyan's face was full of surprise.
Wen Daya frowned in contemplation, the light in her eyes flickering.
Yu Wenshi sighed and said: "If this is the case, if the matter fails, the Emperor Taishang will inevitably die violently, His Majesty is not the new young lord who has ascended the throne, he has been the Son of Heaven for many years, the size of the system, different theories are mixed up, this is the ancestral system." The lifeblood of the country is important, and it is dominated by one party. Is that what His Majesty would like to see? In the world, there are always gains and losses, and if you want to gain, you must give it up. ”
Wen Daya is not Feng Daoyan, he knows Li Yuan better than Feng Daoyan, Li Yuan is a master who does not see rabbits and eagles, and if he does not see the success of the coup, he will definitely not stand up. Once successful, Li Yuan will definitely endorse them.
……
"Shadow" does not actually refer to a stand-in, but has another meaning, that is, a chess piece placed in the secret by the clan gatekeeper.
Since the Yongjia funeral, the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the Chinese clothes have moved south. The gate valve of the world clan was divided into the south migration branch and the north branch.
At that time, it was very dangerous to stay in the north, and life was in danger, so the various families in which they were located invariably took the Shu or partial branch as the northern branch, leaving to take care of the houses and fields in the north, while the southern branch was the descendant branch.
The three hundred years of turmoil in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties said that it was the invasion of the Central Plains by Zhuhu, but in fact it was better to say that it was the struggle between the northern branch and the southern branch. This is a real roommate, cannibalism.
If it weren't for Gao Xu's assistance to Murong Hao, the Xianbei Murong Department could only herd sheep in Liaodong, and if it weren't for Qingcheng Fan's Fan Changsheng and Fan Ben's support for Li Te and Li Xiong of the Di clan, they would just be a rogue group. If there is no Zhang Bin, Xun Xuan, and Pei Xian to assist Shile, the Qiang people are still manu.
Of course, the current situation is different. Now that the world is unified, the children of the Liubei branch in the hidden shadows have nothing to do with it in name, but they are one of the core forces of the clan gate.
Just like Hou Mo Chen's family, although the people are withered, they are still divided into Ming Sect and Dark Sect, Hou Mo Chen Qian will be Ming Sect, and Hou Mo Chen Xu is just a shadow.
Zhang Daozong knew his identity since he was a child, and he also knew why he changed the good Wang family to the surname Zhang, he entered Zuotunwei incognito, and now he has become the general of Zuotunwei Yiyi.
In the eyes of the people of the Taiyuan Wang family, the inheritance system that has been passed down from generation to generation is simply like a joke. As a son of the Taiyuan Wang family, as the grandson of the prince of Rencheng County, it is actually too easy to become an official, even if it is not easy to become the governor of a state?
But like an ordinary soldier, he entered the Left Command Army from the thirteenth year of the Great Cause and became an ordinary soldier under Li Yuan.
Eleven years later, after the rest of his life, he was finally promoted to the general of Zuotun Weiyi Yifu, although this official position is not big, only on the fifth grade, but he can be promoted from a small soldier to the general of Ningyuan, in fact, he has reached the highest height of the common people.
After all, not everyone can be Chen Ying.
It is even more unlikely that he will become a hussar general.
Zhang Daozong's ability is beyond doubt, he did not accept any help from the Taiyuan Wang family, and relied on his own efforts to achieve today's status. Since he was nine years old, he has not received any orders from the Taiyuan Wang family for twenty-seven years.
It wasn't until today that Zhang Daozong received a message from the henchmen of the family master's faction.
Zhang Daozong knew why the head of the family didn't even use a note, but ordered someone to send a message - the danger of this matter was too high, so high that the nine clans were dangerous.
led troops to attack Cheng'an Palace to welcome Li Yuan's reinstatement.
This matter is too much to do, once it succeeds, the Taiyuan Wang clan can naturally obtain Li Yuan's friendship and huge benefits. Of course, once it fails, it is only Zhang Daozong who dies, and it must not have anything to do with the Taiyuan Wang family.
But Zhang Daozong's heart didn't even have the slightest struggle, and he had already made a choice. Between the emperor and the family, or between the country and the family, Zhang Daozong chose the family without hesitation.
The family and the country are all over the world, and there is a family to have a country.
sent away the henchmen sent by the head of the family, and at nightfall, Zhang Daozong ordered people to gather more than 1,500 soldiers from the entire Zuotun Weiyi Mansion.
Torches and braziers illuminate the entire school field as if it were daytime.
Zhang Daozong, who was dressed in military uniform, rode directly on the platform of the generals, glanced at the soldiers under the stage, waved his hand and ordered: "Bring it up!" ”
A dark and shiny box was carried up by the guards.
Zhang Daozong waved his hand, and the box opened with a click, revealing stacks of banknotes. All of them are ten-piece bills.
Today, the banknotes issued by Chen Ying's Datang Tongli Money Village have been recognized by the people, especially since the issuance of Yulu, they have obtained this kind of money.
With a bang, the soldiers in front of the stage rolled back and forth, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Their money is only 700 yuan a year, but each person puts a full 200 yuan, which is their money for nearly 30 years. In an instant, his annual salary of nearly 30 years, no one will not be moved,
Zhang Daozong was very satisfied with the reaction of the soldiers, coughed his throat and said, "Have you seen it?" What is it? Money, two per person"
The soldiers below were all curious about why Zhang Zhonglang, the iron rooster who usually had a dime and a hair, would be so generous to prepare two hundred pieces for everyone. You must know that 1,500 soldiers, this is 300,000.
Not to mention relatively ordinary soldiers, even if they are wealthy families, 300,000 yuan is a huge amount of money.
Zhang Daozong looked at the strange looks on the faces of the soldiers, and said loudly: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, now the time has come for us to be loyal. You will open the city gate with the general, welcome the friendly army into the city, and after the thief is punished, each of them will be rewarded with 300 yuan! ”
In fact, Zhang Daozong's words were full of mistakes and omissions, but these soldiers had already been fascinated by the five hundred guan.
