Chapter 361: Two Fronts
Zhu Houxi was very happy today, and he went to the temple to pray, why? Because my own cultivation has finally come to fruition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 What is the result? It is an auspicious omen that Peng Yue and Hu Zongxian presented from the southeast: a white deer.
To say that this kind of thing is rare is rare, but from a modern point of view, it is a product of genetic mutation, but from the perspective of the ancients, especially from the point of view of Zhu Houxi, who is extremely fanatical about cultivation, this must be auspicious.
Coupled with the article dedicated at the same time, the significance of this white deer is simply touted to the sky, and it has added great confidence to Zhu Houxi's cultivation and immortalization, so how can Zhu Houyu not be happy?
As a result, Hu Zongxian's courtiers really entered Zhu Houxi's sight, and to some extent it also implied: Hu Zongxian and Peng Yue seem to get along very well, and they can't tell who is a strict party and who is not a strict party.
In fact, Hu Zongxian was able to make this decision, which was also the result of careful consideration for a period of time. He knew that although he was a Yan party, he only caught up with Yan Song through Zhao Wenhua, but he was not familiar with Yan Song.
He also secretly tried it, feeling that this Yan Song was not very cold to himself, after all, he was not a Beijing official, and he didn't help him too much, so he didn't care too much about his role. From this, Hu Zongxian came to a judgment: If something happens to him, this old man Yan will not care about himself.
At this time, Peng Yue also enlightened Hu Zongxian in a timely manner: Now you and I are the same governor of the southeast, if we don't pay tribute together, others will say that we are not in harmony, but we can't deduce the meaning of the alliance when we pay tribute together. Besides, Yan Song will never target you and hit you because of this matter, because he also has to consider the cost, and I am not so easy to be knocked down.
In fact, Yan Song really thinks the same way, Hu Zongxian is just a small character, he can't compete with him, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke himself, he will never provoke him, otherwise he won't tire himself to death?
As for Peng Yue, he didn't want to deal with it so much, he just suppressed him, now that he is in the place, how much role he can have, as long as he controls it, this is also Yan Song's original intention of wanting him to go to the southeast to fight against the Japanese. What he has to do now is to keep an eye on and deal with Xu Jie, who is now in the capital.
Yan Song can think of this, Peng Yue and Hu Zongxian can also think of it, of course, what finally prompted Hu Zongxian to make up his mind was Peng Yue's sentence fulfilled: Zhao Wenhua really fell. Now that his big boss has fallen, Hu Zongxian really has to think about his future way out...
But how did Zhao Wenhua fall? In fact, it is very interesting to say, his experience has personally verified the saying: if you don't die, you won't die.
It turned out that every time this benevolent brother returned to the capital from the southeast coast, he had to go to Yanfu to give a big gift. He knew that Yan Song had a big appetite, so he prepared enough gifts every time, even though he was in pain.
But the last time he came back from the southeast coast, Zhao Wenhua went to Yan's Mansion to give gifts as usual, and the gifts he prepared were even richer than before, but he didn't expect to encounter an accident: Yan Song and his wife were very happy, but Yan Shifan seemed greedy and annoyed.
Zhao Wenhua asked himself, the gift he prepared for Yan Shifan was indeed very attentive: he used yellow and white gold silk to wear a tent and gave it to Yan Shifan, with good pearls, strung together, knotted into twenty-seven treasure buns, and gave them to Yan Shifan's twenty-seven concubines.
To tell the truth, Zhao Wenhua's gift was indeed painstaking and costly, but Yan Shifan gave such an attitude, which naturally made Comrade Xiao Zhao dissatisfied.
Zhao Wenhua thought to himself, he is now in a high position and has power, so why should he be constrained by the Yan family again? Besides, the Yan family is too greedy, and in the long run, I am afraid that I will not be satisfied, so Zhao Wenhua plans to kick Yan Song away and contact Zhu Houxi directly.
So he presented a kind of wine to Zhu Houxi, called Baihua Xian Wine, and said that this wine has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life, and Yan Song usually relies on drinking this wine to maintain a good body.
Zhu Houxi tasted it, and sure enough, the taste and effect were good, it was definitely not made by mixing two pots of water with boiled water, but after thinking about it: Yan Song has such a good thing, why don't you give it to me?
After Yan Song learned about this, he was naturally angry, clamoring to cut off relations with Zhao Wenhua and kill him. At this time, Zhao Wenhua realized that his strength was so small, and it was really insignificant in front of Yan Song.
So Zhao Wenhua hurriedly confessed, cried and made trouble, and walked through the back door of Yan Song's wife, and gave some money, which made Yan Song change his mind and forgive himself.
But although Yan Song forgave Zhao Wenhua, Zhao Wenhua spent too much money this time, so he decided to step up and get back the capital. This is not difficult, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he can make a lot of money by doing a project, but Zhao Wenhua doesn't know if his brain is in the water or what, he just started Zhu Houxi's idea.
When he built a dormitory for Zhu Houxi, he also embezzled a lot, because the money in it was too big and too attractive, and he did a lot of projects by himself, and he was also passive and slacking off, thinking that the emperor had a place to live anyway, and this should be his own death.
Zhu Houxi, who had waited for several months and didn't live in a new house, couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so when he was bored and climbed high and looked into the distance, he didn't know whether to envy or how, and looked at the houses around the palace.
"Whose house does that house belong to?" , Zhu Houxi took a glimpse of a mansion on West Chang'an Street.
Unfortunately, the officials who accompanied Zhu Houxi around had a good relationship with Xu Jie, or in other words, a bad relationship with Zhao Wenhua, so they began to give full play to their ability to sow discord:
"Oh, this house is so luxurious, it is estimated that it is not a prince and noble, and he must not be able to live in such a good house..."
"yes, it looks like it's much better than the dormitory in the palace..."
"Actually, this is Zhao Wenhua and Zhao Shangshu's mansion..."
"Alas, the minister said that His Majesty's new palace has not been repaired, and it turned out that Zhao Shangshu's mansion was moved to repair..."
Zhao Wenhua is finished now, because Zhu Houxi can be regarded as furious: first demoted his official, then dismissed him, and finally let his son go to the border to fill the army, and Zhao Wenhua himself died of fear.
However, Xu Jie didn't plan to let him go like this, so he shook out Zhao Wenhua's embezzlement of military silver, which is good, Zhao Wenhua didn't resist enough after copying the house, and directly let his children and grandchildren who were in the army lose for decades...
Zhao Wenhua fell, and Yan Song was very depressed, because although this cadre had done things that were sorry for himself, he was also a capable leader. However, Xu Jie was very happy, because he got rid of a big henchman, and the war with Yan Song had just begun... (To be continued.) )
