Chapter 261: Shangguan Sheng's Fury
Shangguan Sheng had a hundred reasons to be angry, but he couldn't find anyone for him to vent his anger, and Lin Kunshan and Xiao Sheng came to the door at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are no worshipping ministers, and the Tongxuan Hall seems to be empty and too gloomy, and Shangguan Sheng doesn't like it there, so he chooses the much smaller Qinzheng Hall as a place to meet.
The King of England sat on the throne and took a nap, and Shangguan Sheng stood on the edge of the wide table in the middle, holding the hilt of his sword in his left hand, a privilege he had given himself to carry weapons in the palace of Qinzheng.
Lin Kunshan and Xiao Sheng entered the Qinzheng Hall under the leadership of the Su Guard soldiers, and as soon as they saw Shangguan Sheng's posture, they knew that this was not an equal negotiation.
To say that the flame is attached to the trend, Zuo Cha Yushi is more experienced, but to say that the heart is unhindered, and the hopeful person is better, Xiao Sheng was thinking about how to face the King of England and Shangguan Sheng all the way, but Lin Kunshan didn't even want to think about it, as soon as he saw Shangguan Sheng's unkind expression, he immediately took two quick steps, knelt on the ground, bowed to the throne in the distance, and said loudly: "Lin Kunshan, a grass people, greets Your Majesty." ”
The King of England was awakened by this sound, and hurriedly straightened up, "Hey, I seem to recognize you." ”
"Lin Kunshan, a grass man, once listened to the rules of the competition with the king of the East China Sea."
"Oh, I'll just say it. Why didn't the King of the East Sea come? He said he was going to take me out to play, and he didn't show up for days. ”
"The King of the East China Sea has also been thinking about His Majesty, I heard that His Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and the King of the East China Sea is not good to come and disturb, so he sent me over to visit." Lin Kunshan can say whatever he wants, he doesn't feel like he's lying at all, and the symmetry is even more rudderless.
Xiao Sheng was embarrassed all of a sudden, stood for a while, and then knelt down, his mouth was hmmmm
The king didn't care, patted his thin chest, coughed twice, and said urgently: "Look, I'm already well, and I'm still the emperor, let the king of the East China Sea enter the palace, and I will seal him...... General Shangguan, what official is bigger than the king? ”
Shangguan Sheng was also embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty forgot?" The king of the East Sea is a bad man, an enemy of His Majesty, and wants to take His Majesty's throne. ”
The King of England pressed his hands on the throne, "Yes, you said that the King of the East China Sea and Cui Hong made a mess, surrounded the palace, and did not let me ...... Don't let me out, get him here, I want to ask clearly, why did you rob me...... Snatch the throne! ”
Shangguan Sheng gave a look, and a eunuch standing next to the throne bowed forward, and said a few words in the ear of the king, who nodded, was held by the eunuch, and was sent to the pavilion to rest.
Lin Kunshan and Xiao Sheng got up at this time, and they both felt much more comfortable.
Shangguan Sheng's suppressed anger rose again, slapped it heavily on the table, and said sharply: "Among the four contenders, the tired marquis went out of the city and the king of the East China Sea poisoned the champion Hou, only the king of England is innocent, and it is logical that he will inherit the throne!" ”
Xiao Sheng was forced to enter the palace and was not responsible for negotiations, so he bowed his head and said silently, Lin Kunshan sighed: "Alas, a good battle for the throne to elect the emperor, after continuing the ancient times, the first to open the world, if it can succeed, what a good thing it should be." ”
Shangguan Sheng snorted heavily, although he looked down on the flattery of the hopeful, but his heart was very useful.
"But when it comes to who is most qualified to be the emperor, I'm afraid that there are different opinions, and there is no conclusion after a while, so why not ......"
"Establishing orthodoxy is the top priority of the imperial court, and it cannot be sloppy at all, let alone delayed, the king of England is called the emperor, who has an opinion? Xiao Yushi, what do you say? ”
Xiao Sheng's biggest headache and fear was this question, he lowered his head, twisted his eyebrows, and let out a long "uh", as if he was about to make a long speech, and as if he was going to make a long-brewing sneeze, and he didn't spit out a word for a long time.
Shangguan Sheng was furious, what he hated most was not the king of the East China Sea, Cui Taifu, nor the hopeful, but the minister, the king of England had been the emperor for two or three days, and none of the ministers had entered the palace to pay homage, all of them were sick at home, if they were not busy fighting with the southern army, Shangguan Sheng would have sent soldiers to drag these "seriously ill" ministers into the palace one by one.
"Xiao Yushi, you are an important minister of the imperial court, and you are responsible for supervision, do you not care at all when you see the turmoil in the imperial court and the demons dancing wildly?"
"This ...... I just sent Mr. Lin into the palace, and other things ......" Xiao Sheng regretted that he was too deeply involved, otherwise he would have been able to hide at home and watch the incident at this moment, like other ministers.
Lin Kunshan took a few steps forward, and smiled at Shangguan Sheng across the wide table: "That's right, the country can't be without a king for a day, whoever becomes the emperor is not only the top priority of the imperial court, but also the top priority of the whole world, General Shangguan wants to discuss ......"
"It's not a discussion." Shangguan Sheng corrected coldly, "This is a fact, whether you accept it or not depends on whether you are a loyal minister of Da Chu." ”
"I am a grass people, and I am also a loyal minister." The smile on Lin Kunshan's face remained unchanged at all, "But it also takes time to tell the facts, and when the tired Hou enters Beijing, he will be the one who tells the facts." ”
Shangguan Sheng frowned, "Tired Hou? Why did he enter Beijing, he has already left the city, which means withdrawing from the competition. ”
Shangguan Sheng only recognized the result of the competition for the position, and ignored everything else.
"There is another fact in the eyes of the tired marquis, he feels that he was the emperor in the past, and the abdication was forced to do it, and it is not countable, so he wants to restore the emperor's throne, not fight for the emperor's throne."
Shangguan Sheng slapped him on the table again, "Tired and immoral, abdication is deserved, everyone in the world can see it, how dare he say such a rebellious and shameless thing as 'restore the throne'?" ”
"Of course he doesn't dare to say it alone, but if he enters Beijing with 100,000 northern troops and 40,000 southern troops, he can say whatever he wants."
Shangguan was furious, but he no longer stared at Xiao Sheng, turned to the north, and said loudly: "I don't believe in the way of heaven and have no eyes, if the tired marquis dares to lead troops into Beijing......"
Lin Kunshan interjected: "General Shangguan wants to invite him into the palace to tell the 'facts'?" ”
These words were quite ridiculous, and Shangguan Sheng's expression suddenly turned cold, "What did you say?" ”
"I mean, instead of letting the Tired Marquis go into the city to tell the 'facts,' it is better to go out of the city and give him the 'facts.'"
Shangguan Sheng sneered, "Let me go out of the city and give the East China Sea King and Cui Hongteng a place?" ”
"Cui Taifu is willing to send 40,000 troops, only 10,000 people are left in the city, and General Shangguan also leaves 10,000 people in the city, how many can be sent for the rest." Lin Kunshan casually gave the number, as if it was all arranged by Mrs. Cui.
Shangguan Sheng thought so, "Cui Hong obviously brought 60,000 people, where did the 10,000 go?" ”
"The wounded and sick stayed outside the city and did not enter the city in the first place." Lin Kunshan replied.
"Only 10,000 people are left in the city...... Are you telling me to send 90,000 men out of the city to fight? "Shangguan Sheng casually turned the Su Guards into 100,000 people.
Lin Kunshan didn't pierce it, and said with a smile: "If you want to exterminate the tired marquis in one fell swoop, you have to attack with the momentum of thunder, and it's not too many people to be sent." ”
"How do I know that Cui Hong is not lying to me to send troops, and then he takes the opportunity to attack?"
"Send generals to supervise each other, and no one can exceed 10,000 soldiers in the city."
Shangguan Sheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly sneered, "The King of the East China Sea and Cui Hong are worried that the Tired Marquis will have the help of the Northern Army, because they are isolated and unable to hold out for long. What am I afraid of? The whole world supports the Holy Lord today, and there will be more and more righteous troops rushing to the rescue, and today an army has arrived and is stationed outside the east gate. ”
The reinforcements would rather stay outside the city than enter the city, and have already expressed a wait-and-see attitude, Lin Kunshan still did not expose the false appearance, and said with a smile: "Small problems that can be easily solved in advance, why bother to make big troubles?" What's more, the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the sooner it is cleared, the more it will help enhance His Majesty's prestige. ”
Shangguan Sheng said coldly: "Cui Hong really doesn't look down on his son-in-law, poisoned one, and now he wants to kill the other, if he is willing to bow down to the current saint, all problems will be solved." ”
Lin Kunshan smiled and said nothing, letting Shangguan Sheng think about whether Cui Hong would give in.
Shangguan Sheng took a deep breath, "You can consider it." ”
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer from it, and the tired marquis claims that the northern army will arrive in three days, and it is likely to be advanced, and if it cannot be exterminated tomorrow, it will become a great disaster the day after tomorrow."
Shangguan Sheng was urged, and his suspicions suddenly arose, "Whose big trouble has it become?" ”
Lin Kunshan knew that he was under suspicion, laughed twice, glanced at Xiao Sheng beside him, and said, "Lord Xiao seems to be a little tired, do you want to take a break?" ”
"Huh? I...... I'm a little tired. ”
Shangguan Sheng called Xiao Sheng over, just to reprimand him, and after the aspirant turned his attention to the tired marquis, the mood of scolding the minister faded, "Xiao Yushi can leave the palace, please think about it after Xiao Yushi goes back, is he worthy of the post of Zuocha Yushi?" ”
Xiao Sheng retreated with a red face, and found that he had no choice but to be the king of the East China Sea.
In the Qinzheng Palace, Lin Kunshan put away his smile and asked directly, "Has General Shangguan found the treasure seal?" ”
Shangguan Sheng's face changed drastically, "How do you know ......?"
"Of course I know that now that the three parties are competing for the emperor, whoever has the treasure seal can issue a holy decree, regardless of whether the other two parties admit it or not, the ministers will admit it."
"Hmph, what's the use of the minister? They all hid at home as spectators, waiting for me to free up my hands and clean them up one by one. ”
"The minister is of little use at the moment, but what about the stalemate in the battle for the emperor? The Tired Marquis was destroyed, and there was also the King of the East Sea. I don't know much about war, but I've heard people say that when a large army engages, within three days it is the strength of the soldiers, and within five days it is about morale and strategy. There are many wealthy families in the capital, and there must be a lot of grain in Tibet, so they can eat on the spot, even if they can last for ten days, they will have to transport grain and grass after ten days. Without the holy decree and the cooperation of the ministers, it is extremely difficult to transfer and collect grain, unless you go to rob it, which is not like what the emperor's army would do. ”
Shangguan Sheng was suddenly moved, and said hatefully: "The treasure seal should have been in my hands, but the queen mother ...... The Queen Mother ......, "Shangguan Sheng didn't dare to say that the Queen Mother was not, "I guess the treasure seal was hidden by Yang Feng, and he refused to hand it over." ”
"Yang Feng is still in the palace?"
"Hmm."
"Give me half a day, before midnight, I will ask him to hand over the treasure seal."
Shangguan Sheng was vigilant again, "Why should I believe you? ”
"Because the palace is in the hands of General Shangguan, I can't find the treasure seal at most, but if there is a little clue, can I escape?"
"You're not here to negotiate?" Shangguan Sheng asked suspiciously.
"I'm here to negotiate, the tired marquis will not be destroyed, the throne will definitely belong to him in a few days, and then the treasure seal will be useless, General Shangguan should immediately send someone to contact Cui Taifu to discuss the matter of jointly attacking the tired marquis, the sooner the better." I stayed in the palace as a hostage, and by the way, I retrieved the treasure seal for General Shangguan. ”
Shangguan Sheng should have consulted with someone, but he didn't believe in the Queen Mother now, so he could only make his own decision, thought for a while, and said, "Then let's kill the tired Hou first, and we can send troops tomorrow morning." Before midnight tonight, you can find me the treasure seal. ”
As soon as he mentioned Baoxi, Shangguan Sheng really reduced his suspicion of attacking the tired marquis, Lin Kunshan smiled and nodded, "Let me go to see Yang Feng, if I can persuade him, it will be a great honor for the Qi Seeker." (To be continued.) )
