Chapter 269: Minister

The so-called two-skinned people have fat skin, are shameless, and can do things that ordinary people despise, and are usually used to mock people who are shameless and shameless.

And Li Chengdong father and son, was originally a Ming military general, when the Qing army went south, he defected to the Qing Dynasty, mixed up in the Qing Dynasty, and ran back, his words and deeds, two-faced and three-sworded, disdainful of the loyal martyrs, although the Southern Ming Dynasty court took into account his strong troops, strong combat power, had to generously pardon his betrayal and surrender to the enemy, but instead rewarded him and named the Duke of Huiguo, but secretly when the courtiers gathered behind him, people were laughing at this person with a thick face, scolding him for being despicable and treacherous.

Li Chengdong's father and son know that their behavior is inappropriate, and they have also heard of rumors, but this kind of repeated person is the most important face, once he hears that someone dares to ridicule him, he will immediately be furious, regardless of the size of this person's official position and status, he will definitely kill him and then quickly, the father and son are in charge of internal and external military power, and no one can resist, even the emperor, seeing that Li Chengdong wants to kill, can only be regarded as not seeing.

Li Yuanyin was used to flying and domineering, and when he heard that someone dared to argue and refute, his eyes widened, he turned back angrily, and shouted at Wang Yingxiong and others: "Who? Who's presumptuous? ”

Liu Yun's face was not afraid, and his neck was stalked, so he was about to stand up and agree.

Before he could speak, he was stopped by Li Dingguo, and with his eyes, he signaled him not to move, and his sturdy body was firmly in front of Liu Yun, and then looked at Li Yuanyin expressionlessly.

And Wang Huan glanced back slightly, and saw who the person who spoke was, so he said lightly to Li Yuanyin: "No one spoke, presumably Admiral Li heard it wrong." ”

Although Li Yuanyin was angry, he could hear Liu Yun's words clearly, sneered at the moment, and shouted: "Did you hear wrong? Ben Governor heard me right, for the one who spoke stood behind, left and right, and took it with me! ”

A few guards of the forbidden army beside him promised to rush up and arrest people.

Wang Huan's face changed, and as soon as he lifted his feet, the whole person was horizontal in front of Li Yuanyin, blocking the route of the forbidden army, and said again with an expressionless face: "This military gate said, Lord Admiral heard it wrong." ”

The voice was not loud, the tone was not high, but it was cold and awe-inspiring, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from between the words, rushing straight into Li Yuanyin's face, shocking the commander of the forbidden army couldn't help but take a step back.

Wang Huan stood still, standing firmly in place, pressing the long knife on his waist with one hand, holding the crossbow arrow at his waist with the other, and staring at Li Yuanyin with both eyes.

Li Dingguo and Ma Wannian, one left and one right, lined up on Wang Huan's side, the same expressionless two faces, the same knife action, but the posture was ready to go, the eyes were cold and ruthless, and it seemed that they could draw a knife to kill at any time.

As for Liu Yun, he was firmly stopped behind by Li Dingguo.

The three of them stood in a row, although the number was small and silent, but it seemed that there were thousands of troops behind, and they actually let the four or five forbidden army colonels raise money by Li Yuanyin's side, and they didn't dare to step forward.

Li Yuanyin himself was also shocked, as a general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he had killed people on the battlefield, so he naturally knew how this murderous aura came from without anger, it was the murderous aura of the people who survived in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and the evil aura that only strong soldiers had in a hundred battles.

The scene was cold, and the people on both sides stared at each other, their faces were like frost on one side, and their breath was like a bullfight, although they all stood still, the air in front of them seemed to be frozen, and it was so stiff that people felt cold all over their bodies.

Wang Yingxiong didn't react at the beginning, and was also a little frightened by Li Yuanyin's scolding, and when he came back to his senses, Li Wang and Wang had already met face to face, and their four eyes were intertwined, as if they were about to draw a knife and slash if they didn't agree with each other.

This posture makes Wang Yingxiong's soul fly away, this Li Yuanyin is Li Chengdong's own son, if Wang Huanniu's temper comes up, it will be over if he hurts him, Zhaoqing is the Li family inside and outside, and there are tens of thousands of troops, once there is a trouble, the more than 2,000 people in the Kuizhou army will not be said, and they will definitely not be able to get out of Zhaoqing City when the time comes.

"Hey, two generals, two generals, what are you doing? Everyone is in the same hall, don't hurt the harmony. Wang Yingxiong hurriedly squeezed his body between the two, with a smile on his face, one hand on the other, a few false stops, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to say, if you have something to say, this person has a special identity, don't lose the emperor's face because of a momentary misunderstanding." ”

As soon as he stirred it up, the gunpowder-filled air dissipated a little.

Wang Yingxiong looked at Wang Huan, saw that he had a straight face, knew that this expression was not negotiable, and felt that it was better to persuade Li Yuanyin to reason with this donkey, so he turned his head to Li Yuanyin and smiled: "Admiral Li, General Wang's people are all from Shuzhong, rough people in the mountains, they don't know much about the rules of the imperial court, what is the difference, please forgive the Admiral, in addition, the emperor is going to hold a banquet in the Water Moon Palace tonight to summon General Wang, I heard that Admiral Li is also going to attend, now it is past the end of the day, the time is running out, It is not possible to delay the emperor's arrangement, so it is better to ask the admiral to hurry up and check that the inspection is completed, and we will go over together. ”

He put his mouth slightly closer to Li Yuanyin's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The old man entered Beijing this time, and brought some gifts to Admiral Li and Ling Zun Huiguo Gong, which have been sent to the house in advance, Lord Huiguo Gong is very happy, and he asked someone from Guangzhou to say that everyone will move around more in the future, what do you say about the relationship between you and me, this movement is a must, in the future, every New Year's festival and birthday marriage, the old man must prepare a thin gift, and I hope that the Admiral will not dislike the old man to come to the door frequently." ”

Wang Yingxiong's words were very level, and he made it clear directly, Lao Tzu gave a gift to the head of your family, if there is anything, Li Chengdong wants to give me face. And Li Yuanyin also knows that Wang Yingxiong, the governor of these three provinces, can be very generous, and tens of thousands of taels of full-colored silver ingots are pulled to his home in a car, listening to Wang Yingxiong's meaning, this silver will be sent often in the future.

The face is big, and the silver is bigger.

This Wang Yingxiong's account can't be sold, so he should sell his favor.

After thinking about it left and right, Li Yuanyin's face was not so ugly, and he barely squeezed out a smile, and said to Wang Yingxiong: "My father mentioned Lord Wang to me, and this governor is here, and I thank Lord Wang on behalf of my father." ”

Wang Yingxiong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where is it, how can Wang be virtuous, and he can work for the country." ”

He turned his head and smiled at Li Yuanyin: "Then please look at the old man, this matter will be stopped today, let's hurry to the emperor's summons." ”

Li Yuanyin snorted in his nostrils, obviously angry, and glanced at Wang Huan and the others again, and saw that the three of them were still standing in place, and the three expressionless faces were still like that, and when they saw themselves looking over, none of them had the slightest intention of apologizing and saying good things.

In fact, in his heart, Li Yuanyin was a little stunned, secretly frightened, how many years, I have never seen a military general in the Ming Dynasty with this kind of momentum, up to the governor of the five armies, down to the deputy general of the general army of all parties, either wine bags and rice bags, or see the money and open eyes, the soldiers who can fight are bandits, and those who can't fight are not even as good as bandits.

Looking at Wang Yingxiong's more than 2,000 guards, I heard that they are all soldiers under the command of the general army of Kuizhou, all of them are strong and strong, disciplined, and their clothes and armor are neat and shiny.

Privately estimated, Li Yuanyin felt that even if he pulled out more than 10,000 Zhaoqing City defense and forbidden troops, I am afraid that if he wants to eat more than 2,000 people, it will take some effort, it seems that the news of the bloody battle with the Tartars in the north and the recovery of the two territories in Hanzhong and Sichuan is indeed true, and only such a fierce general can achieve such a record.

If you put your father and son in Hanzhong, under such a complex and harsh situation, you will definitely not be able to achieve Wang Yingxiong's current achievements.

What's more, Wang Yingxiong has soldiers, plus knowledge, and knows how to give gifts and pull relationships, so he can't treat his people as directly as other courtiers and generals.

Thinking about it like this, Li Yuanyin had to restrain his heart, snorted indignantly again, bowed his hand to Wang Yingxiong slightly, and said: "In this case, Yuanyin will listen to Lord Wang, and we will see you in Shuiyue Palace." ”

After that, Li Yuanyin turned around and left, and took the forbidden army on his horse and hurried away, Wang Yingxiong sent out a few steps, and waved goodbye.

Watching the forbidden army leave, Li Dingguo also said softly behind Wang Huan: "This person is only the official residence commander, and the grade is only the third grade, and the governor Wang is a civil official of the second grade, and the lord is a third-grade military attachΓ©, he actually dares to be so presumptuous, is the dynasty collapsed to this point?" ”

Wang Huan breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and sighed: "This person is not terrible, he is just a fox and a fake tiger, what is terrible is his old son, Li Chengdong is now relied on by the imperial court, controlling the military power of the entire Guangdong, and the emperor is under his protection to be able to settle down, it can be said that he wants the emperor to live and die, if he wants to be Cao Cao, he will rush ahead of us." ”

Li Dingguo was puzzled: "The last general heard that after Li Chengdong returned to the emperor anyway, in front of many ministers in the court, he announced that he would never be the person who was the lord of the powerful minister, would not interfere in the personnel arrangements of the court and the central government, would not take away the taxes of the court, and also took the initiative to provide 10,000 taels of silver to the emperor. ”

Wang Huan laughed and said, "If this person is really as he said, he shouldn't put his son in Zhaoqing to take charge of the forbidden army." ”
