Chapter 306: Strong soldiers and strong horses are the Son of Heaven
Zhang Yunying's words once again verified Li Xiuwen's guess. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info two years ago, after saving her, he had already completely changed the fate of this red lady.
Before Li Xin left, he also told him that he still had relatives outside, and he didn't want to involve them, so he changed his name to Li Yan to hide people's eyes.
A few people divided up to prepare, and a team of people set off from Kaifeng to Luoyang.
Li Xiuwen not only transferred 20 personal soldiers to Li Yan's jurisdiction, but also made him serve as the political envoy to participate in politics, and his official position from Sanpin was already very high.
But then again, there are not many people in the current He1 Nanbu Political Envoy Division, most of them let him "click", except for Ma Mingda, Li Yan is already a veritable second-in-command. Anyway, there is a ready-made official system in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to use your brain to come up with a strange official name.
The reason why Li Xiuwen trusts Li Yan so much is because he can see that this person is indeed a talent.
Li Yan was flattered by this, although Li Xiuwen is now just a thief, and the official positions he holds may not be counted, and they are only limited to the rule of the south of He1. But once it comes to fruition in the future, are the thieves still afraid that they won't be able to become the orthodox court?
Li Xiuwen is now sitting in Kaifeng Mansion, and the place is smaller after all. He also knew very well in his heart that Ma Mingda didn't have much to do in many cases, so he transferred him to Luoyang to take care of his finances and government affairs.
Militarily, Li Xiuwen directly set up seven guards, each with 5,600 guards, and the four mansions that the White Lotus Sect had looted were temporarily able to compile the strength of five guards. After the remaining three prefectures are captured, it is completely possible to increase the number of more than 10,000 people through incorporation, and the strength of the remaining two guards will come out.
In Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion, Li Xiuwen has already made a template. He believed that with Li Yan's talent, as long as he followed his own path in the general direction, he should be able to stabilize the situation in the other four prefectures.
After sending away Ma Mingda, Li Yan and others, he went to see Zhao Yuanliang, and the cutting operation there had long been over.
As soon as he entered the study, Zhao Yuanliang said: "Brother-in-law, our people have caught two alive!" ”
"Alive?"
Li Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this, knowing that it might be that these two people had a lot of backgrounds, so Zhao Yuanliang didn't dare to kill them on the spot, so he asked, "Who is it?" ”
"The heart of the king of the Dongchang Governor, and Xiao Yun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard."
"What ?!!"
Li Xiuwen never thought that the person who led the way to Kaifeng was actually the head of these two factory guards.
This is a bit difficult to do, these two people are strictly speaking, they are kind to themselves, and they must pay back the favors they owe!
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Zhao Yuanliang: "Take me to meet these two old people." ”
Coming to the room where Xiao Yun and Wang Zhixin were being held, Li Xiuwen met these two former friends. The two of them were tied with hemp rope, and when they saw that it was him, they invariably twisted their heads to the side, as if they felt a shame when they looked at him more.
Li Xiuwen confessed their thoughts, and in their deep hearts, they looked down on themselves from the bottom of their hearts as a "chaotic minister and thief" who betrayed the court.
He sighed softly and ordered, "Untie them." ”
Xiao Yun turned his head and stared straight at him, as if he wanted to see what kind of person he was.
However, he was destined to be disappointed, Li Xiuwen's expression was calm, and there was not much to reveal from his face at all.
"Li Xiuwen, what do you mean?"
After Xiao Yun was untied, he didn't plan to resist, because it was useless to resist, he was surrounded by Li Xiuwen's own soldiers, and he himself was extraordinary, so there would be no chance at all.
Wang Zhixin didn't speak, but the gaze that looked at Li Xiuwen was not so grim and cold. These days, so many things have happened, and he has more opportunities to contact Zhu Youzhen than Xiao Yun, so he can naturally understand that Li Xiuwen's blatant rebellion is not without reason.
In the past, he also treated Li Xiuwen as a friend, but now that the two sides have different positions, that faint friend has long been gone.
He was sympathetic to Li Xiuwen, who was suspicious of the monarch earlier, and later won the battle but was beaten by the board, and it was normal for him to suddenly rebel in the end. Judging from the news obtained later, the emperor at that time had ordered Zhu Shaohong to kill Li Xiuwen's family.
Wang Zhixin is not a stupid person, before Zhu Shaohong left Beijing, he took three fans from his Dongchang, and judging from what happened later, it is naturally not difficult to guess that the emperor did it to Li Xiuwen first. The fact that Gao Qi sneaked out of Beijing to preach the decree can explain many problems.
Sympathy is sympathy, which does not mean that he can accept Li Xiuwen's behavior.
Although Wang Zhixin is a eunuch, in terms of integrity, he is not inferior to those civil officials who keep saying "monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, sons". Absolute devotion to the Holy One today is his only option.
Li Xiuwen looked at them for a long time before he spoke: "Let's go, the farther away from the seal, the better." In the past, you were all kind to me Li Xiuwen, and this time I will repay the favor I owe. The next time we meet, we'll be enemies. ”
Both of them were a little surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect Li Xiuwen to let himself go so easily, and they didn't know how to react for a while.
Wang Zhixin nodded secretly in his heart, this Li Xiuwen is a person who values love and righteousness.
Xiao Yun has always been accustomed to a cold face, and after showing a slightly surprised look, he quickly recovered his eternal expression, and said in a cold voice: "No matter what you plan in your heart, I, Xiao Yun, am a person who is loyal to the Lord, and we will not owe each other anything in the future, and we will leave!" ”
After the words fell, he had already taken the lead out of the house, waiting for the king's heart outside.
Wang Zhixin pondered for a while, and finally persuaded Li Xiuwen: "Master Li, now that the matter is over, our family can't say anything more." If you want to turn back, our family can say a few kind words for you in front of the emperor, and your life should still be saved. ”
"Huh-"
Li Xiuwen smiled, his father is dead, is it enough to save his life?
All those involved in this will have to pay the price for this and accompany their father's funeral!
"The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy."
After Li Xiuwen said this sentence with a calm face, he ignored Wang Zhixin's reaction, turned around and walked out of the house, and ordered his subordinates in front of Xiao Yun: "Send them out of Kaifeng, if these two dare to trespass into our jurisdiction again, they will be killed!" ”
When he had finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Xiao Yun looked at his back as he left, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes: "After that, you and I will be enemies when we see each other again." ”
Li Xiuwen didn't feel sad in his heart?
I don't have many friends, just a few, I can count them on my fingers, but so what?
Once, he didn't think about openly rebelling against the imperial court, but just hoped that when the wheel of history ran over, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, let Zhu Shaoye replace him.
But fate has pushed itself to the opposite side of the court, how can he resist?
Some roads, since you have chosen, there is no possibility of turning back, and there is no need to turn back!
What is a thief?
What is imperial legitimacy?
The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong for the Son of Heaven, and the princes and princes are the losers!
I'll write the history books! (To be continued.) )
