Chapter 830 Redonation?

Two days later, when Qu Yifu and Chu Yi arrived at the border with the two million catties of white stacks that they had collected from all over the country with great difficulty, they found that the camp on the opposite side had already been emptied, and there was nothing else in the camp where the Liu family was originally located except for the empty camp tents.

Me, me, me, me...... I wiped the old man standing in the empty Tang camp and was angry, the prime minister who had cultivated himself for many years and rarely spoke rudely, was already blushing and thick at the moment, and scolded a few words in the big tent where Liu Bing was, so frightened that many soldiers accompanying him were silent, and they didn't dare to take a step closer to the tent.

In this regard, Chu Yi had no effect, but still had a little bit of schadenfreude, standing aside with interest and watching Qu Yifu, the old prime minister, perform very vividly what is called anger and corruption, and what is called stealing chickens and rice.

Is Yanagichichi that easy to deal with?

Chu Yi stood behind Qu Yifu and pouted at the old man with disdain, if Liu Yiyi was so easy to deal with and so easy to be designed, Hou Junji's old puppet would not have fallen into the end of being forced to commit treason.

Although Chu Yi didn't know much about Liu Yiyi's methods, and even with Liu Yiyi himself, he had only seen less than three faces, but this did not affect his respect and fear of Liu Yiyi.

Think about it, a person who can write the "Thick Black Book" is a scheming that directly points to the hearts of the people and officialdom, a person who can easily influence the Tang Emperor's decision-making and design to leave Chang'an safely, and the recent transaction, with a private business association as the body, forced Gaochang to move the whole country.

Such a scheming and wise master, he can't count the total amount that Gaochang Bai Diezi has accumulated over the years? Will he not make some prior arrangements and explanations for his stewards?

Why did they insist that people not get out of the way from the beginning? Why is it that all the money they bring with them is never kept in one place, and only when the transaction is made, do they send someone to take out some of it? Such caution, in addition to guarding against Hou Junji, an old opponent, why not guard against King Gaochang and Qu Yifu, who are unscrupulous people who see profit and have evil intentions?

From the very beginning, Chu Yi did not support Qu Yifu and Hou Junji's plan to seek money and kill people, whether they could succeed or not is a success, it is a success, and he also snatched some silver money from the Liu family, from the current point of view, the decisive battle between Gao and Tang is imminent, and it is indeed helpful for the army to prepare for war.

But what about later?

Treachery once or twice, murder for money, and completely offend Liu Yiyi by the Liu's Business Association, and wait for the war between the two countries to end, what should I do with the white stacks that are planted? What about the people of their Gaochang country? Do you want to live a poor life without clothes and food like before?

They didn't think about it, whether it was His Majesty or the Prime Minister, what they cared about was always their own interests, whether they could keep their throne or their lives, this was the question they were most concerned about, but they should consider first. Like any other beautiful words that benefit the people and ensure the safety of the people, when it comes to the critical moment, all of them are floating clouds, and they are blown away by the breeze, and they will disappear without a trace.

In this regard, Chu Yi's whole person has become a little numb.

What loyalty and patriotism, what loyalty and righteousness, all were left behind by him, in fact, from the time when Lu Wentai decided to halve the tribute to Tang and let him envoy to the Tang Dynasty, Chu Yi was completely dead to His Majesty and no longer had any illusions.

For the sake of Hou Junji's personal enmity of such a foreign minister, he did not hesitate to use the strength of the whole country to launch a provocation against Tang, directly putting the safety of nearly a million Gaochang people at risk, and putting the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the tip of the sword.

Therefore, Chu Yi came back this time, in addition to wanting to make a noise in the officialdom, there was also some public heart for the country and the people. If the conditions allow or the strength is sufficient, he does not mind supporting a princess or prince to take the place of Lu Wentai, and kidnapping Hou Junji, the culprit who caused the war between the two countries and led the people of Gaochang into a dire situation, to the Tang Emperor, so as to eliminate the mustard between the two countries.

However, these thoughts, Chu Yi can only secretly think about them in his heart now, after all, compared to Hou Junji, compared to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Gao Changguo, he is still only a person with a slight speech, and there are only 3,000 soldiers under his command.

So all along, Chu Yi has been like now, not taking risks, not acting rashly, being in it, and waiting for changes.

For example, this time, Hou Junji wanted to kill Liu Bing to avenge his personal revenge when he grabbed the horse at the end of the year, and His Majesty and Qu Yifu wanted to get more money on Liu's body to prepare for the war, and the two hit it off, which led to Qu Yifu's poisonous plan of dragging people to cheat money, and from beginning to end, Chu Yi has always played the role of an obedient and sensible accomplice, even if he is unwilling, he will never raise objections, provoking the criticism of his boss and His Majesty.

"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable" After a long time, Qu Yifu still couldn't calm down, thinking of the soldiers in charge of guarding his camp, the old man reprimanded with a hideous face: "What about Shi Lang? Let Shi Lang come over to see the old man."

Shi Lang is the captain who is responsible for monitoring the direction of Liu's camp this time, and he is a cadre specially drawn from the palace guards by Qu Yifu, this time Liu Bing and his party absconded silently, no matter what the reason, Shi Lang will not be able to take the blame. And at this time, Qu Yifu also needs a scapegoat to calm the anger in His Majesty's heart, and Shi Lang, a palace guard with no background, is undoubtedly their best choice.

"Prime Minister," in his heart he mourned for Shi Lang, the unlucky ghost, for two seconds, Chu Yi bowed forward and replied to Qu Yifu: "Shi Lang and they are now recuperating in the back camp, after all, they have been tied up for two days, and they have not eaten or drunk at all, and their bodies are still a little weak. ”

Speaking of this, thinking about the spectacular scene when they first arrived in the camp, Chu Yi secretly laughed in his heart, the non-commissioned squad of more than 100 people, including their captain Shi Lang, were all tied hand and foot, stuffed with tongues, and strung together with a thick rope, and thrown into the largest camp tent.

After not eating, drinking, and moving for two days in a row, actions such as the convenience of going to the toilet were even more delusional, so when Qu Yifu hurriedly rushed into the camp to ask what was going on, he was directly forced out by the stench inside, and after a burst of nausea and vomiting, the old man no longer dared to take a step close to the barracks, and handed over all the problems to his soldiers to deal with.

"Weak? He still has the face to give the old man weakness? If we come one day later, they won't starve to death, and it's already a blessing that he has the face to eat, drink, and recuperate in the back? Speaking of this, the old man was angry again: "Of the more than 100 people, none of them were able to escape from the report, and all of them were outflanked and tied up, which can be said to have lost the face of my Sergeant Gaochang, such a captain, such a soldier, what is the use of staying?" ”

It's a shame that this is not a battlefield, and the Liu family didn't have any bad intentions, just a slight warning of tying up, otherwise if he returned with more than a hundred corpses on this trip, how could he Qu Yifu have any more face?

But even so, Qu Yifu didn't feel that there was any brilliance on his face, the soldier was tied up, the target escaped, and he was played by a small businessman, and everyone was thrown to his grandmother's house.

"It's Liu Bing's cunning, I'm afraid that he has already seen through the prime minister's plan," Chu Yi wasted no time in stepping forward and stimulated two more sentences: "Otherwise, they wouldn't have set up camp and migrated on the night after we left." ”

"It's a possibility." Qu Yifu's old face was a little red, and he was still smug that day, thinking that he had behaved properly in front of Liu Bing, and successfully deceived Liu Bing's trust, and was still thinking about how to deal with this little steward of the Liu family after more than ten days, when the money arrived.

I never thought that people had already seen the flaws at that time, and as soon as their front feet left, they were prepared on the back feet, and they retreated unharmed, not to mention, and gave themselves a big slap when they came.

Qu Yifu stretched out his hand and rubbed it back and forth on his face, and said sharply to Chu Yi: "It's all because Commander Shi Lang is incompetent, there are more than 100 Gaochang warriors under his command, but he can't even take care of a small caravan, and it was in vain that the old man could bring him to the old man with his cultivation intentions, and the old man has something to ask."

"Yes, Prime Minister" responded, Chu Yi turned around and left the camp, and then spit out fiercely at the barracks where Qu Yifu was in a place where he didn't, and cultivated? I'm afraid that when he chose Shi Lang at the beginning, this old man was already ready to let him carry the black cauldron.

It's done, it's done; Defeated, the black pot is all back.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi also has to admire Qu Yifu's foresight, he is worthy of being a capable person who can be an official and become a prime minister, and he is really a thick-faced and black-hearted person, when he gets along with this person in the future, he will have to be more careful and pay attention everywhere, lest he end up with a fate like Shi Lang.

Chang'an, East Palace.

In the bedroom of the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Yuanchang, the king of Lu, rarely came to visit.

"Lonely estimate, Uncle Huang should come over these days." Lying on the couch, Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly, he neither got up to greet Li Yuanchang, nor did he turn his head to look at it, and said in a faint voice: "Being able to tolerate it for so many days, the amount of energy in the emperor's chest is much broader than before. ”

"You know everything?" Li Yuanchang looked at the eldest nephew in front of him, who was not a few years younger than himself, with some surprise, and was disimpressed by his rudeness, so he sat on the chair next to the couch casually, stretched out his hand to bake the stove, and opened his voice to inquire.

Doesn't it mean to recuperate in peace? And the eldest grandson queen also had a special advice, if there is nothing important during this time, try not to enter the palace to disturb, why does it seem that what this kid has done to the outside world is still clear?

"Although the matter is not big, it is related to most of the expenses of the lonely line, and it may also affect the reputation of the lonely family, and affect whether the lonely can successfully become a big treasure in the future," turning his head and glancing at Li Yuanchang, Li Chengqian asked in a rhetorical voice: "Uncle Huang, you said, should the lonely get the news as soon as possible, and be prepared and prepared?" ”

"Huh? Hehe, originally, Uncle Huang didn't want to come over to disturb your purity, and wanted to solve the matter by himself. Not caring about Li Chengqian's questioning tone, Li Yuanchang continued: "But who would have thought that the imperial brother intervened in this matter, and Li Ji was very strictly guarded, and the imperial uncle had never had a chance to make a move, so he had to come over and ask you for a way." ”

"Me?" Li Chengqian laughed at himself and said, "What can I do?" This matter, the father and the emperor have already begun to pay attention, his old man did not investigate deeply, and it is already a blessing to correct the imperial uncle and the lonely prince to ask the guilt, what does the imperial uncle want? ”

"Then let the Liu clan succeed and rob our munitions business?" Li Yuanchang glanced at his eldest nephew dissatisfied, and said loudly: "You also know that it was a harvest of more than one million times a year, and it was handed over to others in vain?" You can be willing, this king can't just leave it at that."

"The wood is done, the matter is a foregone conclusion, what else can the emperor do?" Li Chengqian is well aware of this little emperor's ability, greedy for money, lustful, and simple-minded, Li Chengqian doesn't think he can think of any good strategies to turn things around.

"If this king has the ability to do it, how can he come to you to discuss?" Glancing at Li Chengqian, Li Yuanchang said: "The most hateful thing is still that Liu, who controls more than half of the trade routes of the Tang Dynasty, and his family wealth can be regarded as a rich country, but he is not satisfied, and this is to reach out to the military supplies Our masters are really hateful."

For Liu Yiyi's various businesses and his rich family background, Li Yuanchang can be said to have been red for a long time, especially at the beginning of the month, when Liu Yiyi donated 2 million yuan and 300,000 quintals of rice and grain in one go, Li Yuanchang's heart was even more excited, but because of the reputation of Liufu and the imperial brother's attention to Liu's family, Li Yuanchang has never dared to make any excessive moves.

But now, when Liu Yiyi extended the Liu family's business to the army's military supplies, and his personal benefits were touched and seriously threatened, Li Yuanchang finally couldn't sit still and began to make moves everywhere to force the Liu family out.

However, because of Li Ji's closed training, coupled with the secret attacks of Gongsun Helan and Li Zhen in the army, Li Yuanchang was always restrained everywhere and returned in vain. Seeing that the response of the cotton suit was getting better and better, and there was a tendency to replace it in the whole army, Li Yuanchang had no choice but to ask his eldest nephew for help.

Anyway, there is also Li Chengqian's share in this, and the East Palace can also get a lot of income from it every year, Li Yuanchang doesn't believe that his eldest nephew will not feel distressed, and he will not want to expel the Liu family.

"The Liu family crossed the line, and Gu Xin was naturally indignant," took a long breath, Li Chengqian tried his best to keep his mood calm, glanced at his little imperial uncle, and said in a loud voice: "But Fang Cai Gu has already said that this matter is already concerned by the emperor, and the conclusion is made." Unless you can come up with a better outfit than what the Liu Clan provides, all of them are just asking for trouble for yourself. ”

"Didn't the emperor think that the emperor didn't know anything about the things that the emperor had done in the military over the years?" Li Chengqian tapped it softly and said: "If you annoy your father and the emperor, you really order someone to investigate and investigate it thoroughly, and then you will not only lose some money, but also ask the emperor to think twice." ”

The business was robbed and the financial road was cut off, Li Chengqian was naturally extremely resentful in his heart, but he saw it more clearly than Li Yuanchang, and knew that it was no longer suitable for them to interfere in this matter, otherwise he would only provoke himself and make unnecessary troubles for himself.

Moreover, if this matter was designed by Liu Yiyi, Li Chengqian would naturally not be naïve to think that Liu Yiyi's entry into the military quartermaster was just a random act, and he did not prepare anything to deal with himself and some other forces.

Because he has some understanding of Liu Yiyi, Li Chengqian will be more cautious and jealous, Liu Yiyi has always acted with a plan and then acted, Li Chengqian does not want to have a hard encounter with Liu Yiyi because of this matter, and has a bad relationship with Li Ji and others, which will affect his upcoming military trip and miss his own major affairs.

"This ......" mentioned Li Shimin, the imperial brother, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but feel a little timid, and he also knew that the reason why Li Shimin had not pursued the matter of military uniforms over the years was because there had been no big mistakes, and second, the imperial brother still took into account the brotherhood between them.

However, if he really went too far, Li Yuanchang had no doubt that the first person to cut him out would definitely be his second brother and brother, Li Shimin's ruthlessness, Li Yuanchang had seen it in Xuanwumen as early as when he was eight years old.

"That's what I said, but," Li Yuanchang still said unwillingly: "If you let go of the Liu family so easily, let them get so many benefits for nothing, and take the money that should belong to us, this king is really unwilling."

There was no help, Li Chengqian lay on the couch and shook his head gently, closed his mouth and said no more.

"Isn't the Liu family rich?" didn't pay attention to the eldest nephew's expression, remembering the two million yuan donated by Liu Yiyi some time ago, Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up, and he said in a loud voice: "Why don't you think about letting him spit out more?" ”

"Now the treasury is empty, and the imperial court is short of money," the more Li Yuanchang thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and then said: "And right now, we have to send troops to Gaochang and help the victims, and the imperial brother must be worried.

"Just do it, this king will go to find the emperor's brother" The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was a good idea, Li Yuanchang didn't care about asking Li Chengqian's opinion, and ran towards the Taiji Hall with a direct greeting.

"Huh?" Seeing that this little imperial uncle disappeared without a trace, Li Chengqian was speechless and raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said softly: "Uncle Huang's thinking is too simple, what do you think Liu Yiyi donated the two million guan before?" Is it really worried about the country and the people, and there is so much money that you burn your hands? ”

Sighing lightly, Li Chengqian said to himself weakly: "He is blocking the mouth of his father and the ministers, and what he is doing is to deal with today's situation." ”

In exchange for two million yuan in exchange for millions of dollars in the army's military business, he did not suffer a loss
