Chapter 559 True villain Liang Shijie

On this day, Tian Hu said a lot of things, and there is a way that people are dying and their words are also sad. Tian Hu, who is lying on the bed now, looks like a dying old man, without the arrogance of the past, and talks intermittently, until the middle of the unitary hour, when Tian Leopard's cry comes from the room.

On July 18, the fourth year of Xuanhe, Tian Bao obeyed Tian Hu's instructions and personally went to Hejian Mansion to meet Zhao Yougong. As for Tian Shi, as long as he holds Tian Leopard in his hand, he is still afraid that Tian Shi will make trouble, besides, in fact, he Zhao is not very interested in destroying the nine clans of the Tian family, and Tian Hu is against Zhao Ji, why does he Zhao Yougong want to carry the black pot for Zhao Ji?

Looking at the down-and-out man in front of him, Zhao Yougong sighed, got up and said, "This king can spare Tian Shi's life, but you also want to be like Chang'an, in short, this king will not send you to Tokyo." ”

"Listen to His Highness's arrangement!" Tian Leopard breathed a sigh of relief, the only thing he wanted was to protect Tian Shi's life, this was not only his wish, but also the wish of the eldest brother, now Zhao Yougong promised to keep Tian Shi's life, as for the rest, let Zhao Yougong think.

"It's good to be clear in your heart, I hope you have made it clear to your son, if you want revenge, don't look for this king, if you provoke this king, hum" The rest of the words Zhao Yougong didn't say, he stood in the hall, and there was a sense of power spontaneously born, especially the cold gaze was like a poisonous snake, and Tian Leopard felt cold in his heart. In fact, even if Zhao Yougong didn't say it, Tian Bao didn't dare to let Tian Shi trouble Zhao Yougong again, in his opinion, Zhao Yougong was a mad dog. Angered him. It is ten times more terrible than angering today's officials.

I want the three brothers of the Tian family. For more than ten years in Hebei, he worked hard to manage a huge force, but it collapsed in less than two months under Zhao Yougong, and in the face of this young man, he was not only defeated, but he also had no confidence.

The surrender of Tian Bao's father and son also indicates the complete collapse of Tian Hu's forces across Hebei and the time to settle the surrendered troops. Zhao Yougong gave full authority to Niu Gao and Zhu Wu, and Yang Weizhong, Liu Zizhan and others also wisely chose to pretend not to know. His Royal Highness Zhao has made it clear that he wants to bring this army to Guanzhong, so as to increase his own strength, and whoever mixes this kind of thing will have to be on the blacklist of the official family. In fact, Yang Weizhong and others are also very interested in this group of soldiers under Tian Hu's command, after a long battle, those who can survive are all elite and young, who is not impressed? But these people are not from the Dingguo Army after all, and they have not made up their minds to help Zhao Yougong, so the smartest way is to remain neutral.

Niu Gao didn't have so many worries, but all the old soldiers moved their families to Guanzhong. As for some officials in Cangzhou and Qingzhou, they were all arrested by Niu Gao. The next day, he was all beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market on charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Niu Gao and the others stayed in Hebei to close the endgame, Zhao Yougong didn't have the heart to stay here, anyway, it was enough to hand over this matter to Niu Gao and Zhu Wu, and after bringing people back to the Daimyo's Mansion, they returned Liang Shijie's big seal, and then rushed back to Yanggu County. Meng Niangzi was naturally very happy to see His Royal Highness Zhao coming back, and she also knew that Tianhu was destroyed, and His Royal Highness Zhao stayed in the north for a short time, so she cherished it extraordinarily.

Yanggu County Lion Tower, it is said that I have been in Yanggu for a long time, but it is the first time to come to Lion Tower. Eating the most authentic lion's head in the building, listening to Meng Niangzi talk about the interesting things that happened recently, it was particularly warm. Sometimes Zhao Yougong really admires Mrs. Zhu's vision, and chooses Mrs. Meng among tens of millions of people to be the principal of Hebei, Shandong, which is really not simple. I thought that Meng Niangzi had been in the boudoir for a long time, and she would have to adapt to such a big stall for a while, but who would have thought that it would only take a little more than a month, and she would take care of everything in a decent manner, and even the personal maid Li Bei'er made her much more generous.

"Official, when do you plan to return to Beijing?"

"The day after tomorrow, when the time comes, Xiao Yue will lead the army back with this king" Seeing that Meng Niangzi's mouth was slightly pouting, her face was unhappy, Zhao Yougong put down her chopsticks and patted her hand, "Okay, don't look like this, it is estimated that this king will stay in Beijing for a while, you are free, just go to Bianjing, who can stop you?" ”

"That's what I said, but now that everything is entangled in things, the eldest lady has ordered some things, and it is estimated that she will be busy for a while, so how can she have time to go to the capital."

"It will get better slowly, by the way, if there is anything to do in the future, please find the prefect of Murong Mansion, if you encounter some rough people and rough things, let Li Bao solve it, don't take risks!"

"You know, the officials are so long-winded, have you eaten well? If it's good, let's go back, the slave family is tired! Meng Niangzi opened her watery eyes, and her expression was a little lazy and a little charming. Zhao Yougong glanced at the big sun outside, and suddenly smiled bitterly, this noon has not passed, and his body is tired? Hey, could it be that the Great Song Dynasty was also popular to take a nap?

Before the end, Zhao Yougong accompanied Meng Yulou back to his residence, saying that women are thirty like wolves and forty like tigers, but Meng Niangzi is only in her early twenties, but she is fiercer than a wolf, and Meng Niangzi is tossed enough. Reaching out to touch the bad thing, Meng Niangzi snorted with a red face, just shouted outward, and saw a woman wearing a green light veil push the door and walked in. The woman had a soft figure, fair skin, and a light veil seemed to be transparent, looming inside. It turned out to be Li Bei'er, hehe, is Meng Niangzi trying to squeeze him out of Zhao someone?

Maybe it was because of the luck, when he broke through the last line of defense, he found that Li Bei'er frowned tightly, the two slender jade legs clamped hard, and the whole body was arched, and the expression was extremely painful. Zhao Yougong raised his eyebrows, fingered Li Bei'er's earlobe, and laughed in a low voice, "What, the first time?" Liang Shijie, that old bug didn't harm you? ”

"Liang Zhongshu, he thought about it several times, but he was avoided by the slave family, and there were several times when Mrs. Cai looked at it strictly!"

Listening to Li Bei'er's mosquito-like slender voice, Zhao Yougong actually felt a little sorry for Liang Shijie, and it was also a kind of sadness to be a man and do Liang Zhongshu's part.

At night, Ah Jiu got a few rabbits from nowhere, and when he was idle, Zhao Yougong was dressed in a coarse cloth robe and sat in the courtyard to roast rabbit meat for a few women. Initially. Meng Niangzi and Li Bei'er were still frightened. After all, the maid is on the side. But let His Royal Highness King Qin roast the rabbit himself, what is the reason? I wanted to persuade her, but Mu Niangzi pulled her over and said a few words, and the two stopped insisting. This courtyard is located in the south of Yanggu County, and there is a small river outside the door, surrounded by willow forests, even in summer, it is very cool. So an open-air barbecue couldn't be more suitable. Originally, this courtyard belonged to Fei Weigu, but as soon as Fei Zhixian ran to Liangshan, His Royal Highness Zhao occupied this courtyard, and then gave it to Meng Yulou, after all, Meng Niangzi is already a woman in the Qin Palace, and it is not suitable to live in the Yang family again, although the Yang family doesn't care, but he Zhao still cares.

It's been a long time since I've had an open-air barbecue, and I remember the last time I roasted sheep in the poplar forest in Tongzhou with Dugu two years ago. Fortunately, the craftsmanship is not rusty, and it smells of rich meat. Mu Niangzi rubbed her hands, restless, not in a hurry, "Okay?" ”

"What are you anxious about? So much meat and less than yours? What about Ah Jiu, this dead girl has been making some vegetables for so long? As soon as Zhao Yougong's words fell, he heard a brisk footstep, Ah Jiu ran out in a hurry wearing the little crooked hat, put the board on the table, and at the same time poured the vegetables on top, "Ah boy, that old man Liang is here." ”

Old man Liang? Soon Zhao Yougong reacted, Liang Shijie is not old, he has become an old man Liang in the eyes of the nine girls. As soon as he heard that Liang Shijie was coming, the wooden woman didn't have a good face, "Strange thing, what is Liang Shijie doing at this time?" ”

Seeing that the rabbit meat was almost roasted, he handed over the rest to Ah Jiu, so he got up and walked towards the front hall, "You guys eat, this king will go and have a look!" ”

In the front hall, although Liang Shijie was sitting on the seat, his eyes wandered, and he was preoccupied at first glance. This time when he came to Yanggu, Liang Shijie also hesitated for a long time, he had never been so scared before, even if the Liangshan thieves broke through the Daimyo's Mansion twice, he didn't panic so much that the six gods had no master, but after the official family decided not to send a single soldier to rescue Baigou River a few days ago, he was completely panicked. For the first time, Liang Shijie felt that the official family was not suitable for that position, although this idea was a bit rebellious, but Liang Shijie did think so, according to the mind and ability of the official family, sooner or later the Great Song Dynasty would fall into the hands of a foreign race. Liang Shijie is not opposed to fighting for power, even he Liang Shijie is greedy for power, so he is willing to do whatever it takes, not to mention that it involves imperial power, but Liang Shijie believes in a truth, that is, everything must have a bottom line, just like imperial power, no matter what means are used, it is not too much, but it should not ruin the Great Song Dynasty. On the contrary, the official family seems to have no bottom line, but sometimes there is too much bottom line, is a person like this suitable for leading the Great Song Dynasty? When a thought arises, he can't hold it down anymore, and after hesitating for many days, Liang Shijie still came to Yanggu County, this is his only chance, he doesn't want to follow the official family to perdition.

The sound of footsteps came, and when he saw His Royal Highness Zhao in a coarse cloth robe, Liang Shijie quickly got up and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty Liang Shijie, meet His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

Liang Shijie's tone was respectful, and the courtesies were thorough, Zhao Yougong couldn't help but wonder, although Liang Shijie was not short of courtesies before, he had never been so respectful. Sitting on the main seat, he wiped his sweat, and motioned for Liang Shijie to sit down and speak, "Lord Liang, I came to visit late at night, I don't know what is important?" But what happened to Hebei? ”

"Your Highness is too worried, Hebei is very calm, General Niu's surrender is also very smooth, and General Xiao also retreated to the Daimyo's Mansion today to rest!" Liang Shijie clenched his fists, his face was solemn, he hesitated, got up again, took out a square fold with a red cover from his sleeve and handed it over, "Your Highness, this is what your lower officials have earned for many years, and I will give it to Your Highness today." ”

Zhao Yougong hesitated, but still took the fold, opened it and looked at it twice, and his expression changed a little. The names recorded above are actually the names of many officials, and the names are attached to the illegal things that these people have done for many years, and each name looks over, and at the end I see the name of Liang Shijie. What kind of excerpt is this, it is simply a book of life and death in the officialdom, whoever holds this book of life and death can pull these officials off the horse at any time, in other words, if he holds the account book, he can secretly control these officials. Closing the fold, Zhao Yougong squinted and looked at Liang Shijie with a smile, hoping to see something from Liang Shijie's face.

Why did Liang Shijie hand over such an important thing? What is the intention? Did he hand it over sincerely, or was it a conspiracy played by Zhao Ji or Cai Jing and others?

"Lord Liang, can you tell the king, why did you hand over the account book to the king?" Although Zhao Yougong's face was much kinder, a pair of sharp eyes never left Liang Shijie, his left hand secretly used internal strength, if he saw a trace of cunning in Liang Shijie's eyes, he would hesitate to take his life.

Liang Shijie has been an official for many years, and he can keenly feel the pressure from Zhao Yougong, he arched his hand and said in a low voice, "Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, although Xia Guan is not a good person, but at least he has read poetry and books, and knows that my Great Song Dynasty should not fall into the hands of foreign races." The Liao people in the north are fierce, but the official family's scheming is really unbearable, so the officials have no choice but to do so. ”

Liang Shijie is still true and sincere, but Zhao Yougong likes this kind of honest person, Zhao Yougong doesn't care whether Liang Shijie is greedy for money and power, as long as he can really do things, and if Liang Shijie really takes refuge, it will be much more convenient to have anything to do in Hebei and Shandong in the future. Liang Shijie is very greedy for money, he is an out-and-out corrupt official, and his ability to handle government affairs is not bad at all. Zhao Yougong employs people, and Zhang Juzheng has some similarities with the later generations, he is not afraid that you are greedy, but he is afraid that you are mediocre and incompetent, so he would rather use corrupt officials than servants, and use capable officials instead of clear streams.

"Very good, I hope Lord Liang can remember the words of a few days, as long as Lord Liang does things wholeheartedly, this king will not treat you badly, but you dare to disobey the yang and the yin, and sing those two sides and three knives with this king, but don't blame this king for being polite!"

"Your Highness rest assured, the lower officials are greedy for money and more willing to die, as long as Your Highness does not die, the lower officials will never dare to rebel!"

Zhao Yougong nodded secretly, Liang Shijie is really a real villain, very sincere, as long as he Zhao does not die, he will not betray, the potential meaning is that your Royal Highness Zhao saw the king of Hades, then you can't blame him Liang Shijie went elsewhere. Zhao Yougong is not disgusted with Liang Shijie's temperament, many people will think like Liang Shijie, but there are few people who really say it directly like Liang Shijie.

Sent Liang Shijie away, Zhao Yougong returned to the courtyard, several women had already eaten happily, just moonlight, drinking wine, and being accompanied by beauties.

Happy days are always too short, and two days later, Zhao Yougong packed his bags and said goodbye to Meng Yulou. When parting, Meng Yulou's eyes were red from crying, although this woman is very capable, her heart is not as good as that of Mrs. Zhu. Seeing Meng Yulou crying pitifully, Zhao Yougong could only comfort a few words, and he was long-winded, and he didn't set off for the south until the end of the day. (To be continued......)
