Chapter 263: The Lobbyist (continued)
And Yang Zhilian, who is in charge of the left army, has always been unclear about the abolition of the crown prince, which is obviously not a good sign.
Yang Zhilian was born in a family of eunuchs and has been immersed in officialdom for decades, how could he not understand this truth, the reason why he did not express his position for a long time must be waiting for the opportunity.
Su Zuoming laughed and said, "Which one are you a lobbyist for?" ”
Li Mao said: "The crown prince is widely benevolent and virtuous in the world, and the position of the great unification has been determined early, how can outsiders be allowed to tamper with it?" Even if the crown prince is physically weak enough to inherit the world, he should inherit the throne by the emperor's grandson, King Guangling, and do anything to outsiders! ”
Su Zuoming said: "So Yunzhou is also the prince?" ”
Li Mao said: "This is also the meaning of Weibo, Hengzhen, and Youzhou. ”
Su Zuoming narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Can you make decisions for them?" ”
Li Mao replied: "If you don't believe that I can ask them to come, you can ask them one by one." ”
Su Zuoming said: "What a big deal this is, how dare I, a small flower slave, participate." If you want to see the lieutenant, you have to have some kind of explanation, for no reason, how can I make a mistake. ”
Li Mao handed a hemp paper letter to Su Zuoming, who looked at it with a candle, and at first there was a disapproving smile on his face, but after reading it halfway, his face changed greatly.
"Where did you come from? Really? ”
"Who dares to cheat?"
Su Zuoming hid the letter close to his body and said: "You want to see the lieutenant, but the ugly words are ahead, his old man's temper is not very good, don't be lucky, play any tricks." ”
Su Zuoming arranged for Li Mao to meet Yang Zhilian on the second day, and the situation was about to change, Yang Zhilian saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
But he knew in his heart that this kind of matter was not in a hurry, and no one dared to say the victory or defeat until the last moment, and if he wanted to bet on the treasure, he had to be patient and drag it slowly until the moment when the situation was clear.
Hearing Su Zuoming say that Li Mao wanted to see him, Yang Zhilian didn't care about it at first, the emperor was abolished, the core of the wrestling was in the forbidden, and the role that courtiers and feudal towns could play was very limited, what good did a Ziqing pawn who had been dismissed see?
Su Zuoming handed over the unsealed hemp letter. When Yang Zhilian read the letter, Su Zuoming peeked several times, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, Yang Zhilian's calm atmosphere was really extraordinary, he only read half of the letter, and he was stunned, why could he not move like a mountain.
"Where are the others?"
"Always at your beckon."
"Call him in."
Yang Zhilian is tall, majestic, purple robe and gold belt, and extravagant. Only his eyes are not very good, he always squints at people, he asked Li Mao: "What benefits did Wang Shuwen promise you, you want to be driven by him?" ”
Li Mao replied: "The prince is benevolent, and he will not be embarrassed. ”
Yang Zhilian said: "This reason is very tenable, I know about you, let me think about it." ”
Li Mao said: "Please ask the general to give a down-to-earth word." ”
Yang Zhilian suddenly changed color, the eldest son Yang Dingzhi pulled out the knife and put it on Li Mao's neck, Li Mao's face did not move, Yang Zhilian smiled: "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" ”
Li Mao said: "Kill the minister without guilt, I bet that the general will not dare." ”
Yang Dingzhi sneered when he heard this, the blade flicked lightly on Li Mao's neck, and a handful of hair flew up, grabbed the hair in his hand, and blew it into the air with a puff. Li Mao sneered, not afraid at all.
Yang Zhilian laughed, got up, slapped his big hand on Li Mao's shoulder, and said: "Su Zuoming praised you in front of the old man, saying that you are a talent, it seems that you are really a talent." However, the old man is in charge of the forbidden army and guards the royal family, relying on a loyal heart, whoever is the Son of Heaven, the old man will be loyal to whom. The old man doesn't want to ask about your business. ”
Li Mao said: "No one doubts the general's loyalty, but don't forget the general, there are not only gentlemen and loyal ministers in this world, but also villains and ministers. ”
Yang Zhilian smiled: "There are villains above this court? ”
Li Mao said: "The fox dog lives in the temple, and the evil spirit is too public, even if it is a true gentleman, it is difficult to take care of it." ”
Yang Zhilian took out the hemp paper letter, shook it in his hand, and said, "Just this thing?" The old man wants to say that it is fake. ”
Yang Zhilian threw the letter on the ground, Li Mao bent down to pick it up, flicked it in his hand, and said impatiently: "Luo Ling is humble and a little self-righteous, and the general can not believe his words." However, the relationship between the fifth Shouliang and King Shu, the general may have heard of it, and Mao thought that he could not believe it all. ”
After Li Mao finished speaking, he took a deep look and turned to leave.
Su Zuoming sent Li Mao away, returned to the hall, and wandered and did not dare to enter.
Suddenly, I heard Yang Zhilian say to his eldest son Yang Dingzhi and youngest son Yang Qinyi in the hall: "He asked the old man to give him a down-to-earth word, but the old man didn't let him be satisfied." Although the prince has a disease, he is a long-term heir, and he belongs to the heart of China and foreign countries. To shake the prince is to shake the country, and it must not be, and the king of Guangling should also be established. ”
Su Zuoming's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, and he ran to chase Li Mao in a hurry.
……
Li Mao was not the only one who came forward to be a lobbyist this night, and at night, the house of Jiao Hope, the protector of the Right Shence Army, also ushered in a lobbyist - Liu Guangqi, the deputy envoy of Feilong.
Liu Guangqi brought a top-secret letter.
Jiao Hope and Liu Guangqi have served their colleagues in the province for many years, although they don't know themselves, they can't be more acquainted, and the two are sons and daughters. In Jiao Hope's words, it has long been said that grasshoppers tied to a line advance and retreat together, sharing honor and disgrace.
The two men closed the doors and windows, gathered under the lamp, and read the letter together, which had already been somewhat yellowed.
Jiao Wang's face turned pale after reading it, his fingers trembled, and he asked Liu Guangqi in a trembling voice: "Where did you get this thing from?" Is it a real guy? What does that mean?! ”
Liu Guangqi said: "I checked with Hu Shanggong, and it is true, and I can't believe it." ”
Jiao Hope said: "He asked us to look at this, this is ...... You're going to take us to your death. ”
Liu Guangqi said: "He doesn't want us to do anything, as long as we act at the opportunity." ”
Jiao Hope was speechless for a long time holding the letter, and suddenly said: "No, I have to tell the children a few words, don't make trouble for me." ”
Liu Guangqi said happily: "With the lieutenant pressing the formation, no one can make a big wave." ”
Jiao Hope was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are wrong, brother, I am the Central Protector, and there are still 108,000 miles from above." Liu Guangqi smiled: "It seems far away, but in fact it is only one step away." "Say goodbye.
Jiao Hope's hand no longer trembled, and he calmly put the letter on the mutton fat wax and lit it on fire. Several cronies and eunuchs standing under the hall watched the pale yellow flames devour the paper, blinking, and they were all a little unconvinced.
Jiao Hope sneered: "You have to be resentful, there is a palace secret involved, and those who are not blessed know it, it will be lost." (Dissertation College)
