Chapter 13 The Depth of the Layout
"What, Tian didn't run away?" Wu Yidong looked straight at the soldier who reported to him, and kicked the soldier in the leg in anger, "It's really useless waste, why did you let people run away?" ”
The soldier had a bitter face: "Back to the commander, when the little one went, the cake shop was already empty, and I heard from the neighbors that Tian was dissatisfied with the disappearance last night." ”
"Count him as fast as he slips away." Wu Yidong waved his hand angrily, and after the soldiers retreated, he said to Cui Xiang, "I am also bothered that Cui Fuzun sent people north to the capital to arrest Tian, this person is very important, and he cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Xia Xiang." I'd rather kill than let go. ”
Murder again? Although Cui Xiang couldn't bear it, he also knew that the situation was getting more and more out of control, and couldn't help asking: "Why did Commander Wu conclude that Tian was dissatisfied and would definitely go north to the capital?" ”
"This official knows Tian too well and is dissatisfied, forgetting his righteousness when he sees profit, and he is a small person in the market, but he is a little witty. He escaped from Zhending, if he went south, the road was far away and unfamiliar, it was better to go north to the capital, which was not too far, and when he arrived in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it would be safer. And if you are pressed too hard, you can also beat the drum to sue the emperor, which is also a life-saving measure. Although Wu Yidong is not a Jinshi, he has also read a lot of books.
"That being the case...... Come and send three fast horses to the capital, and be sure to take down the field. Cui Xiang gave the order.
"Yes." Immediately someone left.
"Hide Fu Ke, take down Tian and be dissatisfied, intercept and kill Xiao Wu, Xia Xiang will have nothing to do, haha." Gao Jianyuan seemed to have won the game, and couldn't help laughing, "Losing the fulcrum of Fu Ke's case, Xia Xiang can only be at our mercy in Zhending." Cui Fuzun, what should I do next? ”
Cui Xiangcai didn't want to take care of things, and he was excluded from many things, and only now did he know that Liu Changting and Xie Huagai and Wu Yidong were planning such a big drama behind their backs, and he smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness the official Weixing King and the Prime Minister are the first to look forward." ”
Gao Jianyuan secretly slandered in his heart, Cui Xiang is really an old fox, and now that the matter has come to this, he still cowers, and he doesn't know what Hou Xianggong likes about him, how can a person like him who is not enterprising be of great use in the future?
It is understandable that Gao Jianyuan can't look down on Cui Xiang, in the eyes of Xingwang and Hou Pingpan, Cui Xiang is not a pioneer who can charge into battle, but a good face who can either defend the city or stabilize the rear.
Gao Jianyuan looked at Wu Yidong: "Commander Wu, what should I do next?" ”
Wu Yidong laughed and sat up straight: "This official is just a small commander, just obey orders, as long as Cui Fuzun gives an order, this official will immediately dispatch troops and generals, and will not delay half a minute." ”
Yan Hao was angry in his heart, and he didn't want to come out one by one, so he wasted the cultivation of Star King and Hou Xianggong on them. But when you think about it, rebellion is a crime of destroying the door after all, and no one wants to act as a vanguard officer, after all, the first to die is often the vanguard.
Yan Hao coughed lightly: "Taiwei Ben and Taiwei Gao are really determined to come, obviously for the emperor's southern tour, and you also know what is going on in secret." What should I do next, this official will throw bricks and lead the way, and say some ideas, just for your reference. ”
Yan Hao said beautifully, but in fact, he didn't give everyone here a chance to choose, he continued: "Protecting Fu Ke's safety is naturally the top priority, and then beware of Xia Xiangxing making waves is also a major matter that cannot be taken lightly. Looking at the Zhending Mansion, as long as Xia Xiang is suppressed, why should the Star King and the Prime Minister Hou be unable to make a big plan? ”
Everyone nodded, and even Cui Xiang agreed with Yan Hao's words. Although Yan Hao's exaggeration of Xia Xiang's importance made him quite uncomfortable, but when he thought about it, it was true, although Xia Xiang had not been here for a long time, he had already opposed him everywhere and became his confidant.
"So now that Fu Ke is properly settled, Xia Xiang will definitely not give up, if he wants to go back to Fu Ke, how to deal with Xia Xiang, he will have to worry about Cui Fuzun." Yan Hao bowed his hand to Cui Xiangwei, and said, "Cui Fuzun is dealing with Xia Xiang head-on, and Gao Taiwei leads his own soldiers to investigate all suspicious places in Zhending City, so as not to cause trouble when the emperor is on his southern tour." In addition, it is necessary to trouble Cui Fuzun and Commander Wu to send a hundred people each for Captain Ben to dispatch. When the emperor is touring the south, he will take a boat to visit the Hutuo River, the Hutuo River is turbulent, there are many hidden dangers, this Taiwei will visit all the hidden dangers one by one, and also eliminate the hidden dangers, to ensure that the emperor's dragon boat is unimpeded on the Hutuo River, and there will be no capsizing and sinking ships......"
Cui Xiang's heart was pounding, so to speak, did the Star King and Hou Xianggong want to take advantage of the emperor's southern tour to let the emperor sink the Hutuo River? If everything goes well, the emperor's shipwreck Hutuo River is the best policy, in case something goes wrong, the star king is afraid that he will have to raise troops to make trouble.
If all the 200,000 forbidden troops of Zhending Mansion are dispatched, they may not be able to hit the capital. Even if all the way to Shangjing is unimpeded, the 200,000 forbidden troops outside and inside the city are the most elite tiger and wolf division in Great Xia, Cui Xiang believes that with Wu Yidong's talent, it is not enough to be the enemy of the forbidden army in Shangjing.
Although the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army in Beijing has checked Cui Changzai's friendship with the Star King is extraordinary, but his two subordinates are commanded in front of the palace to make Ye Shisheng and Ma Bujun in front of the palace both command Ming Wangqi are loyal to the emperor, whether it is the Star King or Cui Changzai, it is impossible to subdue or take down Ye Shisheng and Ming Wangqi at the same time.
In any case, the risk of rebellion is too great, in contrast, if the emperor is really unfortunate enough to sink the Hutuo River, the Star King's succession to the throne will be much smoother.
Cui Xiang groaned slightly: "Among the government officials, the number of fast catchers and officials is limited, and a hundred people are transferred at once, which is too much." Fifty people is no problem, where Wu commands the envoys, there are many soldiers, and one hundred and fifty people will be assigned to you. ”
Wu Yidong slapped the table and said, "One hundred and fifty people have no problem, they can do it at any time." ”
Yan Hao nodded: "Other matters, such as those that are not under the jurisdiction of Taiwei Gao and Taiwei Ben, will be handled by Liu Yuanwai, Xie Yuanwai and Wu Commander." ”
Liu Changting didn't speak for a long time, he already had something to say, and immediately said: "After Liu and Xie Yuanwai took over the granary and grain business, the granary is under construction, and it can be completed within seven days. It's just the purchase of grain, and it's a little uncomfortable. ”
"What's wrong?" Cui Xiang was stunned.
"This year is a bumper harvest year, the people have surplus grain in their hands, and they wanted to buy it at a low price, but the people didn't sell it, saying that Ma Yuanwai and Xu Yuan went out to buy grain at a high price, and the people sold it to Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan." Xie Huagai said indignantly, "Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan don't know what medicine they have taken wrong, why should they buy food at a high price when they can buy it at a low price?" ”
Cui Xiang was very puzzled: "Ma Qingyuan and Xu Wangshan have already changed hands on the granary and grain business, why do they still buy grain?" ”
"Who knows?" Liu Changting answered, "Maybe I want to continue to do the grain business, or maybe I just want to take the opportunity to make trouble." No matter how much they toss, this year's grain purchase will definitely be completed as scheduled. Even if the price is higher, it can be afforded, and it is not impossible to transfer grain from Shile and Xingzhou. The food problem is not a problem for the time being, the 100,000 stone grain provided by Dong Xian before is also temporarily enough, in case more food is needed, there are Taiyuan Li family and Boling Cui family can also transfer 100,000 stone grain at any time. Cui's family is the closest, and Cui Bi is proficient in the way of management. Although the Li family is a little farther away, it has recently made the Li family's son Li Zhi permanent in Zhending, presumably he also heard the rumors and wanted to take advantage of the chaos. Li Zhi boasted that if necessary, the Li family could ensure 300,000 stone of grain. ”
It turned out that Li Zhi and Cui Bi secretly had such close contacts with Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, Cui Xiang secretly sighed, and he and Xu Heguang also jointly elected Li Zhi as the chief secretary of Zhending County. The Star King and Hou Xianggong were so deep in the layout that even he was kept in the dark.
Xie Huagai nodded: "The biggest problem now is the lack of iron ore supply. ”
"What went wrong?" Cui Xiang asked nonchalantly.
"Iron ore is mainly produced in Longxi and Inner Mongolia, and everything was smooth before, but after the good times intervened, the supply was cut off." Xie Huagai was slightly angry, "Haojing Changzai was not in the iron ore business, but for some reason, he suddenly intervened, intercepted the supply of goods, and pulled away all the previous major merchants, and now the iron ore supply has temporarily come to a standstill, and he is looking for new merchants." ”
"How so?" Gao Jianyuan looked stunned, "Good times are always there, could it be that you are aware of the intentions of the two of you?" ”
"Probably not." Xie Huagai shook his head and thought for a while, "Haojingchang has been expanding too fast recently, and he must have meddled in iron ore to make greater profits." ”
"Good times? Lian Ruohan? Yan Hao's eyes showed a fierce light, "What is Lian Ruohan's origin, why is he so powerful?" But no matter where she comes from, she can't stand in our way. It's a big deal to be neat and neat, and kill things with one knife. ”
"Even Ruohan can't be killed." Wu Yidong chuckled and knocked lightly on the table, "Captain Yan, don't want to kill people at every turn, although you are strong in martial arts, but this official also has 200,000 soldiers and horses, when have you ever seen this official say killing people at every turn?" If killing can solve the problem, how many generals in the world don't want to be emperors? ”
"What is Lian Ruohan's identity? I heard that it is a member of the Qinghe Cui family? Although Gao Jianyuan also heard some rumors, he still couldn't believe it, it happened that Cui Xiang was a member of the Cui family in Qinghe.
"It is from the Cui family of Qinghe, and she is the daughter of the head of the family, Cui He." Cui Xiang said with infinite emotion, "Lian Ruohan was rebellious since he was a child, and later broke with the head of the family and set up his own door due to the early death of his mother, and it took more than three years to establish the good times, and became the first commercial house in Daxia. ”
"It turned out to be the daughter of the Cui family, no wonder, no wonder." Liu Changting remembered Lian Ruohan's demeanor, and couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering, "But then again, even if Cui He comes forward, he may not be able to run the good times into the first commercial house in Daxia in just over three years, who is behind Lian Ruohan to help?" King Jing or King Qing? ”
Cui Xiang shook his head: "I don't know about the official, but it is certain that it will not be the Cui family, nor will it be the head of the family himself." The head of the family has always been friendly with King Jing, and if it is said that King Jing is standing behind Ruohan, it is reasonable. ”
Wu Yidong interjected coldly: "Cui Fuzun, you are originally a member of the Cui family in Qinghe, the head of the family is friendly with King Jing, but you follow the Star King, will the head of the family expel you from the Cui family?" ”
Cui Xiang smiled silently: "Commander Wu is serious, the children of the family, as long as they don't do anything that insults the reputation of the family, their personal political opinions above the court will not affect their status in the family, let alone be expelled from the family." In the family, it is common for some people to be radical, some to be conservative, and some to be modest. Just as Zheng Tong was sentenced to go against this official, his fellow disciple Zheng Mingrui had a great friendship with this official, and Zheng Nanshan, the head of the Zheng family, would not interfere with the choice of the two. ”
Cheng Daotong smiled: "Among the wealthy families, there are many children, and young talents are also emerging in an endless stream, each with its own position and tendency, which is normal. Small doors and small households are different, one or two people in the family stand out, even if it is a glorious lintel. Therefore, the wealthy families do not interfere with the position of their children above the court, in order to bet in many ways so as not to lose the bet. In a poor family like us, there is only one official in the family, and once the bet is wrong, one loses all. ”
Xu Heguang squinted at Cheng Dao with disdain, thinking that if you have nothing to say, don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person, and you have to come up with some comparison between a wealthy family and a poor family, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating? After the founding of the Great Xia, although it did not deliberately suppress the wealthy families, it opened the door to the imperial examination, allowing countless children of the poor families to leap into the dragon gate, and it was precisely because of this that the power of the four great families was greatly weakened.
Yan Hao said coldly: "Cheng Tongzhi is far away, the dispute between the wealthy and the poor has nothing to do with the current matter. ”
Cheng Daotong smiled and stopped talking.
Gao Jianyuan thought for a while: "Most of them are not King Jing, King Jing is old, he has no interest in government affairs, and he has no business talent, and King Jing's power is not enough to help Lian Ruohan rise so quickly." Could it be King Qing? King Qing has always kept a low profile, although he has no quarrel with the world on the surface, in fact, he is secretly cultivating many forces. If Lian Ruohan got the help of King Qing and achieved good times, it would be reasonable. ”
"It shouldn't be King Qing." Yan Hao shook his head and said, "King Qing is a good martial artist, there are many dead soldiers and strangers in the mansion, and there are no masters with business skills. And King Qing himself doesn't know how to do business, how can he help Lian Ruohan? ”
"If it weren't for King Jing and King Qing, wouldn't it be...... Emperor? Xu Heguang had the courage to say the guess in his heart, "Maybe Lian Ruohan will be a pawn of the emperor, and the emperor will borrow Lian Ruohan's hand to control the wealth of the world in case of emergency." ”
"Haha, Xu Xiancheng really knows how to laugh, haha." Wu Yiguang couldn't help laughing out loud, the laughter was loud, and the window buzzed, "The emperor's dragon body is not safe, and he doesn't even have the heart to take care of the government, will he have the leisure to support a Lian Ruohan to take charge of the world's wealth?" The whole world is the emperor, he wants it, and he has to bother to let Lian Ruohan run a good time? ”
Xu Heguang's face was hot, and he smiled: "The lower officials are shallow in their studies, they have never left Zhending, and they don't have enough knowledge, which makes Commander Wu smile." ”
"Let's not care who Lian Ruohan is, just say that she is stuck in our neck now, how to deal with her." Liu Changting didn't want to argue about meaningless things anymore, so he glanced at Cui Xiang with a slight impatience.
Cui Xiang understood what Liu Changting meant, and nodded slightly: "First of all, the official will come forward and talk to Lian Ruohan, if she is willing to take a step back, it's fine, if she refuses, the official will let it go." ”
Xie Huagai said seriously: "Yes, salute first and then soldier, it is best to reconcile if you can reconcile, and make money with harmony." ”
Liu Changting didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly smiled playfully: "I heard that even the lady is not married, if Liu takes her as a side room, she will be both beautiful and prosperous, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
Xu Heguang stroked his palms and laughed: "This plan is very good, Liu Yuanwai is suave and graceful, even Ruohan will definitely be impressed when he sees it, and he will become the bag of Liu Yuanwai." ”
Cui Xiang was silent, thinking that if he discussed it with Lian Ruohan, things might take a turn for the better, but if Liu Changting wanted to fight Lian Ruohan's idea, he was afraid that he would be severely humiliated by Lian Ruohan.
Xie Huagai smiled: "Outside the Liu Yuan, Zi said, it is polite to be affectionate, and everything must focus on the overall situation, and do not lose big because of small things." ”
Liu Changting shook his fan: "The Book of Rites also says that eating and drinking men and women, people's great desires exist. Confucius also said that food and color are also sexual. ”
"Confucius also said that lust is not lewd." Xie Huagai shook his head and said, "Xie Mou persuaded Liu Yuanwai not to fight Lian Ruohan's idea?" ”
Wu Yidong watched the two argue with interest.
"What's the matter, Xie Yuanwai also takes a fancy to Lian Niangzi?" Liu Changting's eyebrows raised defiantly.
"What are you talking about?" Xie Huagai twisted the Buddha beads in his hand and said with a smile, "Xie is not lustful, and he will not plunder the beauty of others." ”
"Commander Wu!" The soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Someone found that Tian was dissatisfied with going out of the south gate last night and went south. ”
What, Tian was dissatisfied that he didn't go north, but actually went south? Wu Yidong stood up and slapped the table: "Send someone to chase after him immediately." ”
