Chapter 19 Each has a ghost and visits the treasury at night

During these days, Wang Zhaoyuan, the privy envoy, was very proud, and he secretly exploited the people, and the people were miserable, and there were many officials in the court who secretly hated Wang Zhaoyuan.

In addition to Wang Zhaoyuan, Prime Minister Li Hao had a difficult time this time, since Jingnan and the land of Xianghu were taken by the Song State, his confidants and officials heard that someone in the court was impeaching him.

After Zhang Hui and Du Yongming went down the mountain, they came to the Xiaobaihua Restaurant in Chengdu Mansion and handed over Wuyongzi's letter to Qin Xi.

After Qin Xi got the letter, he immediately took it out and looked at it, then he nodded and said, "Zhang Tuan Lian envoy, if there is any matter, please contact the restaurant in time, here is a letter from Kaifeng, which was handed over to you by His Royal Highness." ”

Zhang Hui immediately took out the letter and read it, the contents of which made him stunned, he immediately put the letter on the candle flame, and burned it out after reading it.

Zhang Hui recalled the past, in April this year, the emperor moved himself from Huazhou to Fengzhou, and at the same time served as the west camp inspection trench envoy. I came here to complete the mission, and told the emperor all the dangers of the mountains and rivers in Shu, the public opinion of the people, and the weapons and armor.

Qin Xi said: "What is the situation in Shuzhong now? ”

Zhang Hui said one by one: "I now know Yongming and Yongming well about the rule of the officials of Shu State, but I didn't expect that in the past few years, the government of Shu State has been in a mess, Meng Chang relied on Prime Minister Li Hao and Privy Envoy Wang Zhaoyuan and a few other villains, and constantly exploited the people, making a miasma. Haha, the emperor of Shu is so mediocre and ignorant of the government, indulging in alcohol, the traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, and the upright people are deposed and exiled, such a king and traitorous ministers, the country can still not die. ”

"When I was in the Central Plains, Shu was still rich, and Meng Chang was not like this now, but after a few decades, Shu was peaceful, and Meng Chang enjoyed a peaceful life." Qin Xi looked at the changes in the past few decades and shook his head.

Qin Xi then explained some things, and then Zhang Hui and Du Yongming left Xiaobaihualou and turned around and entered the crowd.

When Shu was in drought, Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, still implemented harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and previously sent ministers to collect taxes in various parts of Shuzhong, and ordered officials to investigate the four towns and sixteen states to collect taxes. In December last year, Longyou ordered Tian Chun to soothe the admonition, and the book on the table said: "I have changed the hall to the palace, changed the purple ribbon to the yellow clothes, changed the precursor to the police, changed the bureaucracy to the minister, and changed the wife and concubine to the concubine. However, Meng Chang of Shu did not adopt Longyou Ling Tian Chun's recital, but continued to collect taxes.

At this moment, in the palace of Shu Kingdom, Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, was still in the harem and lingered in the palace with Mrs. Hua Rui, Meng Chang and Mrs. Hua Rui laughed, when Meng Chang was anxious, he ordered the chamberlain to pick up the seven treasures, which was decorated with rare treasures, which were extremely exquisite.

At this moment, Meng Chang suddenly felt that the weather was hot, so he went to the Crystal Palace with Madame Hua Rui. In the crystal palace, this place takes nanmu as the pillar, the agarwood as the building, the coral inlay window, the jasper as the household, the surrounding walls, without bricks and stones, make every use of several zhang open glass inlay, the inside and outside are clear, there is no barrier and the light is transparent.

At this time, the music at the bottom came up, Meng Chang felt very bored when he saw the music now, and Mrs. Hua Rui on the side said: "Meng Lang, let's watch the music sparse." ”

"Haha, Sanniang, husband, look at it."

Meng Chang immediately picked up a large number of music and read it, when the first book was finished, his face was just a smile on his face, when the second book was sneering, and after the third book, he roared all of a sudden.

"These courtiers want to impeach my prime minister and privy envoy, they really don't take me to heart, if it weren't for the prime minister and privy envoy in the past few years, ......" Meng Chang thought that if it weren't for his own ministers such as Li Hao and Wang Zhaoyuan in the past few years, he wouldn't have been able to enjoy himself so much.

"I also said that my Shu Kingdom is going to be in danger, what a sentence to the heart!" Meng Chang roared, then threw the paperweight on the table into the distance.

"Huh-" The entire glass mirror in the Crystal Palace was shattered.

The left and right attendants saw that the emperor was angry, and the two trembled, drooping their heads and staying still.

When Madame Hua Rui saw Meng Chang angry, she hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, there are some things that should be called over to discuss with the chief executive of the court." ”

"Okay, just listen to Sanniang."

At noon that day, Meng Chang called Li Hao and Wang Zhaoyuan over, and then told the two ministers about the impeachment of the courtiers.

Wang Zhaoyuan immediately touched his tears and cried like a pug: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to the impeachment of those courtiers, the ministers have done a lot of things for Your Majesty in the past few years, Your Majesty must not abandon the ministers, and there is no Yongzi Taoist who said that on the day of Chongyang, he will practice the Dharma in Qingcheng Mountain." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly knelt on the ground, and then pulled Meng Chang's trouser leg and wiped it on top of his trouser leg.

Meng Chang's heart softened, at this time, Li Hao saw Wang Zhaoyuan doing this, and he also knelt on the ground, and then cried: "Your Majesty, I, Li Hao, have been loyal to Shu since the time of the first emperor, and when Your Majesty was young, the minister was by the side of the first emperor, and I have watched Your Majesty grow up since I was a child." ”

Meng Chang's heart softened, so he didn't say anything anymore, but said lightly: "I will help you suppress this matter, but in the future, you must be careful not to give others a grip." ”

"Hmm!" The two of them were on the ground at this moment, and then when they heard Meng Chang say this, they immediately stopped crying and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for forgiving your guilt." ”

Then the two of them immediately got up, Meng Chang talked to them, comforted them to go out of the palace first, and the two went back to their respective homes.

After Prime Minister Li Hao saw the privy envoy Wang Zhao go away, he raised his eyebrows, scorned, and then said angrily: "Wang Ba, Wang Lezi, today the old man used the courtiers to impeach you, in order to make Meng Chang believe, the old man also asked people to impeach himself, but I didn't expect you to be so important in Meng Chang's heart, one day I will fight you." ”

Li Hao then brushed his sleeves and left.

When Wang Zhaoyuan returned to the house, at this time, Li Jin, the soldier of the palace, hurriedly ran over, and then whispered in Wang Zhaoyuan's ear.

After Wang Zhaoyuan heard this, he was furious and said: "Li Hao, this old horseman, I was almost planted in his hands today, no, Your Majesty also said that someone impeached Li Hao, which makes me a little puzzled." ”

"Don't you think there's anything else wrong with this, Prime Minister?"

"This ...... Forgive me for being confused for a moment, and I didn't even know what was at stake! "Wang Zhaoyuan usually flatters the emperor, just like a dog, and his scheming is naturally not on the road.

Li Jin, the squire of the military department, shook his head, he said in his heart that such a brainless person was actually appointed by the emperor. However, Li Jinnai is Wang Zhaoyuan's subordinate and his confidant, and when he was drinking in Xiaobaihualou today, he heard that the prime minister of the DPRK and the right servant shot Li Hao secretly united with various officials in the capital to impeach Wang Zhaoyuan. Immediately, he told Wang Zhaoyuan everything he heard.

When Wang Zhaoyuan heard this, he suddenly felt very strange, and he also felt incredible, he usually befriended the emperor and other ministers, and every festival was filial piety and everything, why was it still so annoying, those common people said that they were scoundrels, Wang Ba, and they were not generally knowledgeable with them, but this time the danger came from the court, those princes and ministers, they also tried their best to make friends on weekdays, just to stabilize their position, after all, to put it bluntly, he is a dog next to the emperor, if one day, The emperor abandoned it, and he could still have a good relationship with other ministers.

At this moment, Wang Zhaoyuan gritted his teeth, and then said angrily: "Old Pifu Li, you actually impeached me in front of the emperor today, and one day I will make you pay the price." Tomorrow I will go to your majesty to see you. ”

Li Jin hurriedly persuaded: "The cardinal minister can't do it, Li Hao's old thief has a lot of students in the capital and Shuzhong, and he is deeply rooted, and he can't be uprooted in a day." If you act in such a grand manner, I am afraid that your majesty's face will not be easy to improve at that time. ”

"How can this be?" Wang Zhaoyuan stood in place, and then scratched his head, not knowing what to do next, and Li Jin on the side looked at Wang Zhaoyuan, he didn't know what to do.

"Prime minister, you have to understand that in Shu, this privy council is more powerful than the prime minister, it is estimated that Li Hao values the military power in your hands, as long as you are safe, this Li Hao will not be able to live in peace for a day. In recent years, there have been three privy envoys in Shu who have been suspicious of His Majesty, and then abolished, which is estimated to have the credit of Li Hao, Li Hao has been an official in Shu since Wang Shu, and now he is the head of civil officials, and what is missing in his hands now is military power. Fear...... Therefore, the prime minister should plan as soon as possible and not let Li Hao's conspiracy succeed. ”

"Haha-yes, how did I forget this." Wang Zhaoyuan clapped his hands, and then patted Li Jin's shoulder, "Military power, Lao Tzu is just a dog beside His Majesty, this military power is actually still in the hands of His Majesty...... Hehehe. ”

"It's good that the cardinal understands it, and Li Jin retreats."

……

On this night, in Chengdu Mansion, the secret agents of Changchun Hall were already in the city to spy on the military situation, and at this moment, Zhang Hui and Du Yongming were dressed in night clothes, planning to climb over the wall and enter the treasury of various parts of Chengdu Mansion to find out the virtual and real situation of Chengdu's armament storage.

Changchun Tang successively put a team of guards at the door of the armory prison, then changed into the clothes on their bodies, and after switching with those people, they tied these people with hemp rope.

Then he took the flag head soldier token, and mixed directly into the armory prison, an hour later, the people of Changchun Hall walked inside, and then when they retreated, a fire ignited the curtain in the house, and then the fire took over and spread all at once.

That night, the Armament Supervisor's Zhenzuo house in the west of Chengdu was set on fire.

The firelight illuminated the entire street, and at this time, Zhang Hui looked at it from a distance, and was very satisfied with Changchun Hall's approach, and it is estimated that after Meng Chang knew about it, he would definitely go crazy with anger.

He disappeared into the darkness along with the other people of Changchun Hall
