In the hall, Han Xizai noticed that he was talking a little ......

"I'm sorry, but that's a bit off-topic." Han Xizai picked up the teapot in his hand and brewed a cup, the heat was warm on the teacup, and a fragrance came more and more to his nose, he turned to continue, "I don't know why Brother Ziqiao came here today?" ”

"Ugh." Chen Qiao said, "I have to say this slowly, I don't know if Brother Uncle Yan has ever heard a few words from the former lord of the country?" ”

"Huh?" Han Xizai suddenly became vigilant, it seemed that Chen Qiao and the others came today, and it should be related to that matter, but he said, "I have heard a little, but I don't know if it is true, if it is true, this new emperor is really ...... I don't know if Brother Ziqiao can say it again to the old man? ”

Hearing Han Xizai ask, Chen Qiao said: "I have only heard about this matter, but my distant relative has seen it personally, Jingmen, you tell Han Shangshu about it." ”

"Yes, uncle."

Chen Qiao's afterglow glanced at Lin Jingmen on the side, Lin Jingmen saw Chen Qiao's gaze looking over here, he arched his hand, and got up.

The virtuous nephew sat down and said.

Lin Jingmen immediately sat back in place, and then said one by one, every word was clear-eyed, Han Xizai on the side listened to it and sometimes frowned and pondered, sometimes there were a few filthy words in his mouth, and sometimes he slapped the table and pretended to be angry, which provoked Lin Jingmen, who spoke, and Chen Qiao, who was sitting on the side without speaking, were also shocked.

Chen Qiao glanced at Han Xizai and comforted him: "Brother Uncle Yan, don't be excited. ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Ziqiao, the old man has lost his temper." Han Xizai squeezed out a few tears, patted the table and said regretfully, "Alas, this ...... How not to make people's blood rush? Now the lord of the country is covered with dust, the state is restless, how did the emperor instruct the old man, the old man often remembers the words of the emperor who entrusted us to take care of the minister, let us help the lord of the country, Kuang help the Tang Sheji, now this ...... My Tang Dynasty is in civil strife, and the wars are continuous, all because of the chaos of ministers and thieves. ”

Chen Qiao and Na Lin Jingmen were also emotionally moved when they heard this, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Han Xizai asked, "Where is the lord of the country now?" ”

Lin Jingmen interjected: "This, I heard that it is rumored to be in Yangzhou, Song Kingdom. ”

"Yangzhou? It's not far from Runzhou. Han Xizai seemed to have an understanding, and then said, "What are you going to do now?" ”

Chen Qiao felt that Han Xizai was still credible, and now he has no one else to believe, after all, he is the secretary of the military department, in charge of part of the military power, in addition, Han Xizai is still so-so in his official career, that is, he is a little arrogant, Chen Qiao believes that if he is given this opportunity, Han Xizai can be one step closer in his career, so he said: "This, now I have resigned, and this distant relative of mine is the deputy general under Lin Shuai, Lin Shuai naturally has a task assigned to him, and he has a letter from Lin Shuai in his hand." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Jingmen hurriedly took out an opened letter from his coat pocket and handed it to Han Xizai.

After a while, Han Xizai saw it and said: "Lin Shuai's plan is good, as long as the inside and outside are combined, Lin Shuai will be able to enter this Jinling City immediately, and this Li Congqing will have no way out at that time, and obediently abdicate his position." ”

"Ahem." Chen Qiao coughed, and then he reminded, "Although this plan is good, it still needs us to keep it secret, if it is leaked, it will be discredited at that time, and it will also be a sinner of my Datang." ”

Lin Jingmen also said: "That's true, but if this plan is to succeed, it still needs Han Shangshu's cooperation." ”

"The old man will do his best to do this." Han Xizai nodded.

"Then thank you Shangshu." Lin Jingmen arched his hand, but he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, and Han Xizai's reaction was too surprising.

"Brother Ziqiao, does anyone else know about this?" Han Xizai said vigilantly.

Chen Qiao was suddenly asked, he thought about it and had to say: "In Jinling City, in addition to the three of us, there is also Zhang Xun, but Zhang Xun would rather believe what was said in the letter, but he would not provide help. ”

"Zhang Xun." Han Xizai seemed to have realized, "I know Zhang Xun's temperament, and he will not tell the truth." ”

Chen Qiao and they still had something to do, so they suddenly got up and said, "Brother Uncle Yan, it's not too early today, we won't bother anymore, don't leave it at that, and I hope Brother Uncle Yan won't forget." ”

"Don't worry, the old man who can do it will try his best to cooperate, as for the result, the old man is not easy to estimate."

It was not early, Chen Qiao and Lin Jingmen got up to say goodbye, and walked out of the hall, and there was a chill outside the house.

"Master Chen, can this Han Xizai really be entrusted?" Lin Jingmen had been holding back words in his heart, and asked Chen Qiaodao as soon as he came out.

"There is no other way to do this, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it, you don't have to worry that he will be secretive to Li Congqing, although this Han Xizai is arrogant, he will not betray the old master for this. It's just that I'm unofficial now, so I haven't helped much. ”

Lin Jingmen made a gesture affectionately, "Bachelor Chen's great kindness and great virtue, I believe that the people, Lin Shuai and the lord of the country will remember." ”

Chen Qiao said with a smile: "Vice General Lin, don't tease me, let's talk about it, the most important thing at the moment is that Lin Shuai can enter this Jinling City." ”

The two got on the donkey cart and immediately returned to Chen's mansion.

……

Half an hour after the donkey cart drove away, another donkey cart had already driven into the side door of the Han Mansion, and it seemed that there was something urgent.

At this time, the door of the hall had already opened, and Han Si hurriedly came in, and then there was a chatter in Han Xizai's ear.

"Quick." Han Xizai was excited in his heart, he lifted the hem of his shirt, and immediately got up and went out of the hall to greet him.

At the small garden at the side entrance, a seventeen-year-old boy wearing a black round-necked robe got off the donkey cart, heroic, and walked to the door of the Han Mansion Hall under the guidance of the servant Han Si.

"Han Si, the weather is good today, you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms blooming all the way, it seems that this good thing is also near." This young man is none other than Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei.

"Xia Guan has seen the king of Wei Chitose." Han Xizai immediately trotted over from the door of the hall and gave a salute.

"I've seen Master Han." Zhao Dezhao also returned the salute, and then he looked at Han Xizai's face, and saw a slightly happy face, and then teased, "I saw Master Han with a spring breeze on his face today, but there is a good thing." ”

Han Xizai couldn't help but look overjoyed, and said: "Chitose, please go inside, the next official has something important to tell Chitose in a while, it's about outside the city." ”

"Oh." Regarding the outside of the city, it must be from Lin Renzhao's army, Zhao Dezhao immediately unambiguously lifted the hem of his shirt and entered the door.

In the hall, a burst of warmth hit, and there were three cups listed on the table, Zhao Dezhao saw it and said, "Is there a distinguished guest here?" ”

"Yes, it's Chen Qiao and his distant relatives." Han Xizai said.

Zhao Dezhao asked rhetorically: "Oh, isn't this Chen Qiao resigned, why do you have time to sit here?" ”

"Chitose, please take a seat first, and let the officials tell you." Han Xizai looked gentle and made a gesture of please.

Han Si immediately took away the two teacups on the table, and then brought another teacup, which had already made hot tea, and respectfully served it to Zhao Dezhao, "Chitose, please." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Dezhao took the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly a chill was dispelled, and the faint fragrance of Longjing tea had already penetrated into his nose and heart, "This little Wang gave you Longjing tea, is Master Han still used to drinking it?" ”

"Habit, Chitose's tea is really good, it smells fragrant, the entrance is sweet, the old man has never drunk such tea in his life."

"Alright, let's get down to business." Zhao Dezhao put down the teacup, he very much wanted to know Chen Qiao's intention of coming here.

Han Xizai smiled bitterly, and then he told Zhao Dezhao the meaning of Chen Qiao's coming, and then took out the letter from his pocket.

Zhao Dezhao handed over the letter, read it, and said, "This Lin Renzhao is really a heartfelt lord, but I don't know if he will be loyal to my Great Song?" ”

Han Xizai, who was sitting opposite, said: "Chitose, sincerity is the golden stone, the lower officials don't believe that this Lin Renzhao is really a stubborn stone, when the time comes, the Tang Dynasty will be attached to the Great Song Dynasty, who should Lin Renzhao be loyal to, and Li Yu is not a benevolent lord worthy of allegiance at all, looking at the world, the Great Song Dynasty is the place where he is loyal." ”

Zhao Dezhao was still very happy to hear Han Xizai's words, but the reality is not so, Lin Renzhao was a foolish and loyal person in history, but now Li Yu is in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is still worried about Lin Renzhao.

He nodded and said, "Master Han, I didn't expect that Chen Qiao is also a loyal person, but the person who is loyal may not be successful." Zhao Dezhao lamented, since ancient times, there are indeed many people who are foolish and loyal, in fact, foolish loyalty is just that the feudal emperor in order to consolidate his own rule, and develop "loyalty" to the extreme, so that personal virtue becomes a tool to maintain feudal rule. But it is precisely because of this loyalty that the people will remember it.

"Chitose, what should I do now?" Han Hee-jae asked rhetorically.

"Soon after, my Great Song Dynasty will unite with Wu Yueguo, (Southern) Han State, and Quanzhou Chen Hongjin to jointly crusade against Li Congqing. However, in the city, in fact, it is almost ready, and Xiao Wang has also installed a lot of warriors on the forbidden army, and those generals of the forbidden army have also been subdued by Xiao Wang Eli; Lin Renzhao's side, Xiao Wang will send someone to help you. ”

Han Xizai said: "Lin Renzhao's troops attacked Jinling, just to get justice for Li Yu, but this Li Yu is in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, forgive Lin Renzhao will be surprised if he knows, this move of Chitose is really wonderful!" ”

Zhao Dezhao was not happy, he said: "Not long ago, Xiao Wang was worried about Yangzhou, this Li Yu has already escaped once, and he must not be allowed to escape again, so Xiao Wang directly reported to his father and let Kaifeng directly pick up Li Yu's family, Xiao Wang was relieved, and Lin Renzhao's side, when there was no Li Yu, Xiao Wang would naturally have a way to deal with it at that time, and it would not hurt his life. ”

"The lower officials congratulate Chitose on the victory in advance."

Zhao Dezhao whispered: "You can only say this here, you can't say it, if you are in Kaifeng, it is heard by someone with a heart in Kaifeng, you know, Xiao Wang can't afford it." ”

"Yes." Han Xizai nodded, he knew his character, sometimes he would inevitably say big things in front of the king and his superiors, but the Wei King Chitose in front of him didn't like to listen to good words, but he didn't blame him, but reminded him to pay attention to the proportions of his speech, so Han Xizai was still a little moved in his heart.

Zhao Dezhao turned around and said, "Right now, there is no action outside the city, but looking at Lin Renzhao's appearance, the big event will not be far away...... We can't afford to make any mistakes at any point. ”
