Chapter 31: Deliberation

After the black-clothed Tanhua received Zhao Dezhao's order, he immediately dispatched several of his subordinates to go all the way to Shu State.

Zhao Dezhao sent all kinds of people to Shu to go to Shuzhong, aiming at attacking Shu and governing Shu, and in the original history, Wang Quanbin spent more than 60 days to destroy Shu, but there was an incident of adultery and robbery in Shu, which took two years for the Great Song Dynasty to quell the rebellion of Shu.

That list is just a means, in addition to being able to govern Shu with virtue, and? In the north in October, the Han State led the Khitan soldiers to attack the Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin sent the defense envoy Guo Jin to save it, and now the Great Song Dynasty and the Han State are just a few small battles, and the most important thing is that the Great Song Dynasty has to prevent the danger from the north.

Therefore, the Han state was not destroyed, that is, it was a buffer zone between the Song and Liao, and the southern states were the most important.

At this moment, in the Xiaobaihua Building, Qin Xi had already come out of Li Yan's mansion.

When Zhang Hui saw Qin Xi returning, he asked, "Qin Military Academy, these days are okay." ”

"Then Li Yan is really, in order to find out Wang Zhaoyuan's greed for ink and the sale of weapons and armor without permission, let me and the other three look for evidence in the account book as high as a mountain, and finally found some."

"What to do?"

"In this matter, His Highness thinks that as long as the two of them fight in the court, there is no need to harm their lives, but I don't know if you have received a letter from Your Highness? What's next? ”

Zhang Hui shook his head and said, "We haven't received any letters from His Highness here, so it's not easy to act on your own, and I'm going to visit Fengzhou in a while." ”

"Zhang Tuanlian take care all the way, it is said that at the junction of Fengzhou and Shu, Shu? The army was stationed there to prevent the Great Song army from moving south from Fengzhou, and the imperial court could not find an excuse to send troops to Shu for the time being, and would not send troops south for a while. ”

Zhang Hui said: "That's true, so His Royal Highness has repeatedly asked us to seize the opportunity to take the opportunity to make Shu civil unrest, if there is an excuse to send troops, it would be good, but now the land of Jingxiang has just been pacified, and the Great Song Dynasty has sent many troops to the land of Jingxiang, so it is temporarily unable to look west, His Highness just said that it will be at least until this time next year." ”

Hearing Zhang Hui say that next year was an opportunity to attack Shu, he was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Next year?" ”

Zhang Hui recalled for a while, and then said: "Well, I did hear His Highness say this before I left the capital. ”

"Next year will be fine." Qin Xi muttered to himself.

"I will leave for Fengzhou tomorrow, and the affairs of Shuzhong will be handed over to you Changchun Hall."

"Hmm!"

After Wuyongzi and others returned to Beijing with Meng Chang, Meng Chang personally gave them the first mansion as their residence in Chengdu, and was also regarded as the "National Teacher of Shu".

"Master, how long are we going to stay in Shu?"

An Dongye kept asking Wuyongzi, and Wuyongzi had to answer: "I'll go back to Kaifeng at this time next year." ”

"What? I'll have to suffer for a year! Antonye complained.

"His Royal Highness King Liang often said: only when you suffer hardship can you become a master. You are just staying in Shu for one more year, and you want to be a teacher back then, but you have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, all the way south, to Kaifeng, Yangzhou, to Liuqiu, and to Sanxiang, and now to the country of abundance, it is not easy to be a teacher. ”

"Oh! Compared to Master, I am indeed much inferior. By the way, Master, do you have any peerless martial arts here, you should take a look. ”

"Go and go, don't bother to meditate for the teacher, if you go to Xiaobaihualou every day to bring some wine and food and delicacies, maybe the teacher will ......"

"That's right, I haven't been back to the restaurant for a few days, I don't know how my father-in-law is doing now?"

"You stinky boy, why don't you look like your eldest brother at all?"

"I am who I am."

Wu Yongzi instructed: "The next time you go to the restaurant, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, don't let people see it, and you must pay more attention if you want to report the news." ”

"Yes, Master!"

……

Time has come to October 10 in a blink of an eye, and at this moment in Shuzhong, Wang Zhaoyuan has had a handle in the hands of others since he met the man in black and was blackmailed to write a confession, and he had to clamp his tail and be a low-key person during this time.

The dark clouds above Chengdu continue to thicken, and Li Hao's house ushered in Li Hao's birthday.

And this period is Li Hao's most proud day, recently Jiang Xin's side has included a large number of suspects, but because he can't ask for evidence, he has no choice but to blame the blame, Meng Chang only interrogated here, and then ordered all these officials to be degraded.

Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly felt that he had become a loner, but there was nothing he could do, after all, others had their own handles, and on this day he received an invitation from Li Hao to enter the house, which turned out to be Li Hao's birthday, so he let him get together in the house.

Wang Zhaoyuan took Li Hao's letter and muttered to himself: "Li Qiongzuo, now you are proud, but it's a pity that I, Wang Zhaoyuan, am not a messy person, and one day I will want you to look good." ”

……

On this day, Li Hao's mansion went to the back hall of prostitutes and concubines to drag Luo Qi hundreds of people, the Canton Fair Conference, and the guests feasted. Wang Zhaoyuan went to Li Hao's mansion with a dejected look.

Li Hao's eldest son, Li Xiaofeng, was appointed by Meng Chang to give the matter, and he also returned home today, and Li Hao's other son, Li Xiaolian, tired of moving too often Shaoqing and Zizhou Assassin History, and returned to the house with Meng Chang's daughter Princess Fengyi. Li Hao's four grandsons were awarded the title of prince and master of ceremonies by Meng Chang, and gave him a scarf.

Since Meng Chang ascended the throne, Li Hao has been a general, a general, a wealthy man, a huge amount of money, especially extravagance, and hundreds of prostitutes and concubines in the back hall. The Li family's power in Shu has reached a position that no one can match.

Zhao Yuangong, Wang Zhongfu, Qiao Wei, Feng Kan, Jia Xuanqi, Guo Wei, Huang Bin and other bureaucrats and ministers closely related to Li Hao also came to congratulate Li Hao on his birthday today.

When Li Hao saw Wang Zhaoyuan coming, he showed a smug smile on his face and said, "Is Wang Shu okay when he says goodbye?" ”

Wang Zhaoyuan showed an embarrassed smile and said, "Li Xianghao, I wish Li Xianghong good fortune and longevity." ”

Li Hao was still smiling, and his expression did not change at all, "Wang Shuxiang, it's been a good time recently, I recently heard that Jiang Xin was stunned and arrested many colleagues in the military department, how are you doing there?" ”

"I'm okay here, so I won't worry about Li Xiang." Wang Zhaoyuan replied.

"Oh, I heard that His Majesty ordered Jiang Xin to investigate the fire in the ordnance superintendent, the disappearance of the account books, and the destruction of the naval warship, and now I haven't been able to find out a single one, but it's a pity that those colleagues have been killed."

"Li Xiang, the banquet has begun." Li Yan, Ma Ji and others beside him reminded.

Li Hao went to other officials to talk about the long and short things, leaving Wang Zhaoyuan there alone to watch the song and dance performance.

After a few days, because there was no evidence, and Wang Zhaoyuan was a cronie of Meng Chang's side after all, Li Hao betrayed a good man, and Jiang Xin had no choice but to release all the arrested people from the cage.

After all these people were released from prison, Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't entertain them for the time being, but they walked towards Wang Zhaoyuan's mansion together.

Wang Zhaoyuan was stunned, and several subordinates of the military department around him were chattering in Wang Zhaoyuan's ears all the time.

"Prime Minister, this time Li Hao asked Jiang Xin's gang to arrest us as suspects and put us in prison, I really don't know what will happen next time?" Several people were worried.

"Yes, he doesn't take the cardinal to heart."

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "Are you enough, this time I almost planted it in Li Hao's hands, I already have a handle in Li Hao's hands, if he didn't let you go this time, it is estimated that all of you will be convicted because of me." ”

"This ......" The people looked at each other and looked at each other.

"What handle does the prime minister have in Li Hao's hands?"

Wang Zhaoyuan reminded: "Do you remember who did it last time when the account books of the Chengdu Treasury disappeared? ”

Several people guessed: "Could it be that Li Hao was guarding himself and sent someone to steal the account books." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan originally told everyone about the black-clothed man entering the mansion that night, and said: "I originally thought that it was done by someone else, but now the account books are missing, and these are all accounts on some weapons, which implicate many people...... Some time ago, some men in black sneaked into my house and explained everything. If Li Hao is very ruthless today, it is estimated that the future of you and me is worrying! ”

"Ah-I see, could it be that Li Hao is asking for you." Several people speculated.

"Perhaps."

"What can I do, Prime Minister? Since we have a handle in the hands of others, what should we do, whether to sit back and wait for death, or to fight against the army. ”

Wang Zhaoyuan looked helpless, and he said: "I can understand your feelings, but there is really nothing I can do about it at the moment." ”

"If the cardinal minister is not good, a few of his subordinates will do it for you."

"This ......"

Wang Zhaoyuan didn't have any good methods, the man whispered in his ear for a while, and Wang Zhaoyuan's expression was still solemn.

"We won't bother the cardinal today." After speaking, several people left the mansion.

……

On this night, in the Xiaobaihua Building, since Zhang Hui left, this place was once again under the jurisdiction of Qin Xi.

"Who?" At this time, a dark shadow flashed outside the window.

"Shhhh

"Brother Dong, I haven't seen you for a long time, your eldest brother and Daoist Wuyongzi are okay."

"Everything is fine, don't worry, we will stay in Chengdu for at least another year." Antono entered the house and said softly.

An Dongye immediately took out a letter from his chest, Qin Xi took it, and said after a while: "I didn't expect His Highness to arrange it in such detail, and he had already targeted the situation before he was in Shuzhong. ”

"By the way, Brother Dong, where do you live now?"

"At the mouth of Xiaoluo Lane in the west of the city, a house that Meng Chang personally gave us."

"Hmm!"

"By the way, does Your Highness have any secret letters?"

"I haven't received any letters here for the time being, but it is estimated that the days should be in a while, but Shu is very far away from Kaifeng, I don't know what our mission will be next time?"

An Dongye suddenly remembered Wuyongzi's words, and he immediately said: "It's okay, father-in-law, in a few days, Master will invite you to come to the mansion to cook on the pretext of trying the food of Xiaobaihualou." ”

"Okay, I know, you go back first, recently Chengdu has been under martial law at night, and there are often patrolling soldiers passing here, when you go back, remember to be safe."

"Yes, my father-in-law will take his leave and see you another day."
