Chapter 503: Expediency Bow Your Head
The night had just fallen, and there were still a lot of pedestrians on the street, and it was far from the time to act, and they had to wait until after the third watch before they could do it.
However, for Li Yanqing, his time is running out, he has to leave the capital tomorrow, there is something he must do tonight, or rather, he has to do.
Soon after leaving the warehouse, Li Yanqing appeared in front of Liang Shicheng's mansion, and Li Yanqing had not seen Liang Shicheng since the last time he and Liang Shicheng broke up unhappily at the Yushitai.
He has always been one of Liang Shicheng's chess pieces, Li Yanqing does not deny this, it is not shameful to be a chess piece, even Liang Shicheng is also a chess piece of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, and there are few people who can be called chess players.
Most civil and military officials have their own backstage backgrounds, and having backstage backgrounds means that they are the pawns of these backstage backgrounds, controlled by them, and these backstage backgrounds are controlled by higher-level backstage backgrounds and become their pawns, so they are superimposed layer by layer, maintaining the operation of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that Li Yanqing doesn't like to be threatened or controlled, when Liang Shicheng used Li Shishi to threaten him in Yushitai, Li Yanqing's heart was full of thoughts of killing Liang Shicheng, this killing machine has taken root in his heart, but now he must endure and must learn to bow his head.
After a while, the housekeeper of the courtyard in Liang Shicheng's mansion ran out quickly, "Li Yushi, please come in, Taifu is waiting in the study!" ”
is still in the study, if it is changed to the guest hall, it means that Liang Shicheng will be ready to give up on him Li Yanqing, and from the place of the meeting, you can know that his status in Liang Shicheng's heart has not been reduced.
Not long after, Li Yanqing followed the compound to the study, "Master, Li Yushi is here!" The compound respectfully reported.
"Please come in!" Liang Shicheng's voice came from the room, and his tone was quite calm.
Li Yanqing walked into the study, the light in the study was bright, Liang Shicheng was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, there was nothing on the table, and the room was not completely warm, it could be seen that Liang Shicheng was not here just now, and he only came to this outer study to meet him.
Li Yanqing stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "See Taifu for your humble position!" ”
Liang Shicheng glanced at Li Yanqing with complicated eyes, he deliberately snubbed Li Yanqing recently, he did not prevent Li Yanqing from being transferred from the extremely powerful case-handling service Yushi to the Xianya Military Prison, but also to beat Li Yanqing, although he did not have evidence of Li Yanqing's secret contact with the prince, but his intuition told him that Li Yanqing must have had contact with the prince.
The crown prince Zhao Huan is not Liang Shicheng's opponent, on the contrary, the prince is the person he is determined to keep, but Li Yanqing's direct contact with the prince means that he will become the prince's pawn, just like Wang Hao broke away from himself and became the pawn of the Son of Heaven, which is an unacceptable behavior of Liang Shicheng.
Secondly, Li Yanqing openly opposed the Northern Expedition in the Great Dynasty without authorization, which not only angered the Son of Heaven, but also made him extremely embarrassed, and he had to express his attitude to the Son of Heaven afterwards, and he resolutely supported the Northern Expedition in order to get rid of the adverse effects of Li Yanqing's words on him.
However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Liang Shicheng still values Li Yanqing very much, Li Yanqing's performance in recapturing the Yushitai for him made Cai Jing also full of praise, what he lacks most is a talent like Li Yanqing, who will become the pillar of his power in the future, and it is for this reason that Liang Shicheng still met him in the original study to imply that Li Yanqing could reconcile.
Liang Shicheng smiled faintly and said, "Li Yushi will set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
"Exactly! So I came to say goodbye to Taifu tonight. ”
Liang Shicheng nodded, Li Yanqing was still quite satisfied with this statement, and he did not say goodbye.
Liang Shicheng sat down and smiled at Li Yanqing: "I guess you also understand in your heart that the granary fire incident that occurred in Zhending Mansion is not accidental. ”
Li Yanqing nodded silently, of course he understood in his heart that a small warehouse in Zhending Mansion caught fire, and in just a few days, the matter was stabbed in front of the Son of Heaven, who would believe that there was no pusher behind it?
"Let me tell you this! From the fire in the warehouse to the anger of the Son of Heaven, Cai Xianggong planned behind his back, the purpose was to bring down Liang Fangping, the transfer envoy of the two roads in Hebei, and it was also Cai Xiangguo's intention to let you go to Zhending Mansion, I hope you will not let us down this time when you go north to supervise. ”
Li Yanqing sighed secretly, why is it difficult for him to save the situation? The fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was not only the strength of the Jin army, but more importantly, the decay and darkness of the Song Dynasty itself, thousands of weapons were so easily transported into the city, and such an important matter as the preparation for the Northern Expedition was also drowned in the dirty and dark power struggle.
"What, what questions do you have?" Liang Shicheng saw Li Yanqing's hesitation, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.
"There is no doubt about the lowly position, but it happened suddenly, and the lowly mentality is not prepared for a while."
Liang Shicheng's face softened slightly, and he said: "Originally, I planned to send someone to deliver a letter to you when you were on the road, since you are already here, I can't help but have to explain a few words, I will send someone to send a letter to you for the specific situation, you just need to remember one thing, grab Liang Fangping's handle, and you will succeed in monitoring you this time." ”
"Remember."
Liang Shicheng asked again, "Is there anything else you need my help with?" ”
"There is a matter of humbling and begging the Taifu for help."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's about Song Jiang, my humble family was poor since I was a child, and thanks to the help of my neighbors, we got through the most difficult period, but my neighbor was killed by Song Jiang, and I swore to avenge my benefactor!"
Without waiting for Li Yanqing to finish speaking, Liang Shicheng waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, the Son of Heaven will never let Song Jiang go, this is what the Son of Heaven told me personally, these rebellions must be cut to the roots, and the Son of Heaven will clean him up within two years at the latest." ”
"But I'm afraid that Song Jiang will rebel again in a few months, and this time the Son of Heaven will not summon him, he already has a rebellion in his heart."
Liang Shicheng was stunned, "Did you hear any news?" ”
"The lowly has been monitoring Song Jiang's mansion, and the lowly has found that he has hidden a lot of weapons in the mansion."
"Song Jiang won't have a backlash so quickly!"
"I feel that Zhang Bangchang should have given him some promise without authorization, so that he can't do it now and angers Song Jiang."
"Zhang Bangchang?"
Liang Shicheng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and Li Yanqing successfully reminded him that if Song Jiang rebelled, Zhang Bangchang, who was responsible for recruiting An, would be to blame.
Liang Shicheng walked a few steps with his hands in his hand, and suddenly asked, "You may be sure that there are weapons hidden in Song Jiang's mansion?" ”
"I'm sure of it, but not tonight, and early tomorrow morning."
Liang Shicheng suddenly understood, he laughed, patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder and said, "I know, I'll deal with this matter, you go to Zhending Mansion to do things, I believe the result will not disappoint you." ”
"Taifu is complete, and I am grateful for my humble duties!"
"Go ahead! I will send someone to deliver a letter to you when I go back, and the army you need will be transferred from Xiangzhou, and you are more familiar with the army there, which is convenient for your control. ”
"Humble resignation!" Li Yanqing saluted, and then hurriedly left.
........
At the time of the third watch, the noisy Daxiangguo finally quieted down, a lamp was extinguished one after another, and the street became pitch black, leaving only the husband beating the bamboo pole in the bang, and gradually walked away, at this time, Yang Guang, who was hiding in the dark, confirmed that there was no one on the street, so he waved his hand back, and three deer carts rushed out of the narrow alley that was only one person wide, and ran quickly to the alley across the street.
The deer cart is also a manpower wheelbarrow, the first deer cart is in charge of Gu Tiezhu, he pushes the cart very steadily, with a cloth belt around his neck to maintain the balance of the car, and pushes the handle with both hands, the wheelbarrow is full, the three deer carts transported all the five hundred spears away for the first time, and the three cars quickly drove through the street, drilled into the alley opposite, and entered the Song Jiang Mansion through the back door.
Yang Guang stayed on the street to continue to observe the movement, and the deer cart soon came to the basement in the backyard, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying, who had been waiting here, started together, and quickly unloaded bags of spears in the dry place in front of the warehouse.
Hu Qing'er squatted on a big tree next to the back door, holding a whip blade in his hand, looking vigilantly inside and outside the back door, they worked together and cooperated very tacitly.
After a while, after the goods were unloaded, Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying began to carry their weapons into the basement, Zhang Hu took Gu Tiezhu and Li Yanshou and pushed the deer cart to the warehouse across the street, and the second time they had to transport at least thirty percent of the war knives and shields.
