"Ahh The scholar who had just spoken was already dumbfounded: "But didn't I see that the Tang newspaper said that Ezhe died of a sudden illness?" ”

"Tang Bao, hum!" Hou Fangyu sneered: "I'm this news from the Ministry of War, you have thought of such a thing, if Yang Wenqiao is investigated, he can't get out of it, right?" That's why I forced it down, otherwise that Ezhe was just young and strong, why didn't he die sooner or later, and suddenly got 'seriously ill' and died at this time? ”

Hou Fangyu's words caused a chorus from everyone in the room, which made his face appear proud, and then a scholar suddenly scolded: "Yang Wen's weak bullying is really a traitor!" ”

"Yes, Yang Wenqiao is indeed a traitor!"

"Bullying the king, be a clan punishment!"

The house was immediately filled with an atmosphere of hatred and hatred, most of these scholars, fathers and brothers were gentry from the southern Zhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian regions, and since Yang Sichang became the first assistant, in order to implement the policy of increasing taxes and salaries and training troops, he excluded dissidents from the DPRK and China, monopolized power, offended many people, and a force against him has been virtually formed. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info The people in this room saw it as a stumbling block in their way, and this time they seized the opportunity and all of them gritted their teeth and cursed.

"Brother Hou!" Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "If you say so, I think this Liu Cheng is too domineering, how can he say that Ezhe is also the king of Shunyi who was sealed by the imperial court, he is so suffocated, this is simply wanton, and there is no court!" ”

"Brother Mao!" A trace of unhappiness appeared on Hou Fangyu's face, and he disappeared: "This Liu Cheng is a little arrogant, but after all, he is just a martial artist, even if he is a little arrogant, it is just a problem of scabies, it is not a big deal, as long as there is a righteous person in the court, a piece of edict can go to it; Yang Wen's weakness is different, this person is hearty and dangerous, bold and firm, false and argued, ugly and broad, in the side of the Son of Heaven and in charge of the master's handle, in my Ming is a disease of reason, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, there will be a big disaster! ”

"Brother Hou said it well!"

"Brother Fang Yu is right!"

"Brother Hou's words are very good, Liu Cheng is just a martial artist, how can he compare with Yang Wenweak!"

Hou Fangyu's words immediately aroused a chorus of approval among the people, and in order to implement his own policy, Yang Sichang had to break the unspoken rules of politics at that time, monopolize power, and select talents loyal to him from among the unambitious scholars (such as Chen Xinjia, who was only born as a person, but he became a soldier in the military department), and in this way, he blocked the entry of other scholars. For these scholars in the house, this is tantamount to the greatest evil, and although Liu Cheng's behavior is domineering, what he killed is only a captive, and according to the political rules of the Ming Dynasty, a military general has no right to get involved in central politics. In comparison, Yang Sichang's danger is naturally much greater.

Seeing that everyone agreed in unison, Hou Fangyu was secretly proud, he looked at the silent Chen Zilong, and continued: ""Spring and Autumn" has a way of power, if my generation wants to turn the tide, you must first go to Yang Thief, and the Yang Thief is nothing more than internal and external difficulties, Liu Cheng is good at fighting, and the Holy Son of Heaven has to use it as a last resort. Today, the thieves have been pacified, and the captive chief has been given the head, and there is a gap between him and Liu Cheng, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good time. As long as I wait for Liu Cheng to make a small profit and win him over, how can he stay in the position of first assistant for a long time? ”

"Brother Hou is really talented!" A scholar clapped his hands and smiled: "It's just that although Liu Cheng has a dislike for Yang Wenqiao, after all, this person was selected by his father from the army and was respected by the Yang family." Even if we have a dislike with Yang Wenqiao, I'm afraid we may not be able to win him over, right? ”

"Huh!" Hou Fangyu said with a smile: "Liu Cheng is a martial artist, what righteousness can he understand?" What he wants is nothing more than fame and fortune, he and Yang Wen's weak discord is for this, so how can we tempt him? Yangzhou Governor Xu Hecheng is his brother-in-law, the two have a great relationship, I plan to repair the book to Liu Cheng through this person, as long as he fights back, pull down Yang Wenweak, my generation will be named the king of Shunyi after the dynasty, and lead the Mongolian tribes! ”

Hou Fangyu's words caused an uproar in the house, and all the scholars had wonderful faces, and they praised Hou Fangyu for his intelligence and going to a big thief for the country; Some are envious of Hou Fangyu's gamble to win, and to be able to swim in Taihu Lake with the beauty is the reincarnation of Tao Zhu. Hou Fangyu thought of the various benefits after the fact, and he was also a little smoky. At this moment, he heard a calm voice say: "Brother Hou, based on what you see below, it's better to find another plan!" When I looked up, it was Chen Zilong who spoke. Hou Fangyu frowned slightly, he already had a little anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said with a forced smile: "Why did Brother Mao say this? Could it be that there is another solution? ”

Chen Zilong is a lot worse than Hou Fangyu, although he is also an official eunuch family, but he can't compare with Hou Fangyu, the son of a household scholar, naturally knows much more about human feelings, seeing Hou Fangyu like this, how can he not know that the other party is already annoyed, but Hou Fangyu's plan is quite serious, and it may be a big deal, so he has to speak out and advise.

"Don't dare!" Chen Zilong smiled: "Hou Gongzi, have you ever seen Lord Xu?" ”

"No!" Hou Fangyu frowned: "I just heard that this person is quite good at using soldiers, repeatedly breaking thieves, and promoted to this official with military merits!" ”

"I see, then it's no wonder!" Chen Zilong said with a smile: "It was about last autumn, and it was also in this south building, if she invited Lord Xu and a few friends to have a small gathering, she happened to be here, so she met this Lord Xu by chance and disturbed a meal of Songjiang perch." ”

Hou Fangyu sneered: "I didn't expect Brother Chen's blessings to be shallow, and his mouth blessings were not shallow!" But what does this have to do with the strategy below? ”

Chen Zilong ignored the ridicule in Hou Fangyu's words, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, I was sitting opposite Lord Xu, only a few feet apart, and there was only one man with a knife beside him, so I felt shuddering, as if the person sitting opposite was not a person, but a tiger that could pounce at any time to choose someone and devour. ”

"Oh!" Hou Fangyu showed a sneering smile on his face: "In this way, Brother Mao is afraid of this Lord Xu!" As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed, and Chen Zilong's face suddenly became ugly.

"Huh!" Liu Ru, who had been silent, suddenly chuckled: "In this way, Hou Gongzi must not be afraid at that time!" ”

Hou Fangyu straightened his chest and said proudly: "Mencius said: 'I am good at nurturing my heroic spirit', my generation is walking on the right path, what is there to be afraid of in the world?" ”

"The son is not afraid, the concubine admires!" Liu Ru smiled: "But at that time, Master Xu was sitting there, and he didn't say anything, just looked left and right." But I had to think that he could kill the whole room with just a nod, and I was a little scared! I was thinking at the time, this Lord Xu is like this, I really don't know how majestic that Liu Cheng is! ”

Hearing Liu say this, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he coughed twice and said with a smile: "That Lord Xu has killed so many thieves, naturally he has his majesty, and it is normal for Mr. Liu to be a little scared, but this does not conflict with the strategy under him, you say, right?" ”

"That's what Hou Gongzi said!"

"What Brother Hou said is very true!"

Everyone hurriedly responded in unison, and when Liu Ru saw this, he smiled: "Well, my daughter's family doesn't understand such national affairs, and my sons and gentlemen are nerve-wracking, so I'm a little tired, and I'm here tonight!" ”

Seeing that Liu Ru had given the order to evict the guests, everyone hurriedly got up and said goodbye. Chen Zilong is also half a master, standing at the door to say goodbye to everyone one by one, and suddenly felt that his sleeves were pulled twice, he turned around, and saw Liu Ru is bright eyes looking at him, with worry hidden in his eyes.

"If so, what's wrong with you?" Chen Zilong held Liu Ru's cold little hand and said softly: "Don't you want to accompany that Hou Gongzi?" It doesn't matter, at most, I will prepare a generous gift tomorrow to visit Hou Gongzi and settle this bet. ”

"No, not for this!" Liu Ru shook his head: "Although this Hou Gongzi is a little arrogant, he is not annoying, and it is nothing to accompany him to swim in Taihu Lake once." ”

"And what are you for?"

"Zilong, I'm the same as you think, I'm worried about Hou Gongzi's plan!" Liu Ru sighed: "That Hou Gongzi is a young man, but he only has that Yang Wenweak in his eyes, thinking that the other party is his stumbling block. Thinking about driving the wolf and devouring the tiger, that little benefit to buy Liu Cheng to deal with Yang Wenweak, but I didn't think about whether they would still be able to control that Liu Cheng if Yang Wenweak stepped down. Xu Hecheng is so powerful, and Liu Cheng behind him can be imagined. The imperial court has been fighting a war with the Eastern Captives for 20 years, losing troops and losing generals, abandoning cities and land, and many heroes and heroes have not bargained, but this Liu Cheng can actually take the head of the captive chieftain. He doesn't even sell the accounts of the imperial court, will he be tricked by a few scholars? ”

"Yes!" Chen Zilong also sighed: "I also know that Hou Fangyu's method is a little more manipulative, but he can't listen to my words." To be honest, I'm just afraid that in the future it will be worse than you think! ”

"Worse?"

"Hmmm! This Liu Cheng has a heavy army, and there is no one to control it, but the court is not only fighting, but I am afraid that the disaster of Heyin and Baima will appear on that day! ”

"Heyin, White Horse?" Liu Ru's eyes widened in horror, she was familiar with poetry and books, and naturally understood that Chen Zilong said that Heyin and Baima were referring to the massacre of the family by the powerful minister Er Zhu Rong in Heyin in the late Northern Wei Dynasty and the massacre of the courtiers and courtiers by Zhu Wen in the late Tang Dynasty.

Chen Zilong nodded silently: "If so, I agree with one of your points, you must be armed in literary affairs, Hou Fangyu They thought that as long as Yang Wenwan was driven away, Liu Chengcheng would be obediently at their mercy, but they didn't want to think that since Liu Cheng was able to defeat Dongyu, it meant that he was stronger than Dongyu." If he raised his troops to the south after destroying the Eastern Prisoners, could it be that Hou Fangyu would be able to make Liu Cheng withdraw his troops with his heroic spirit? ? ”

"Yes!" Liu Ru sighed: "But Hou Fangyu will definitely write a letter to Liu Cheng, no one can stop him!" ”

"Then the only way now is to have a good relationship with Zheng Zhilong and Lord Zheng, in case Liu Cheng really raises troops to the south, we won't have no way at all!"

Datong, Liu Chengzhuang.

"Shot, Abunai is so good!" Min Min clapped his palms excitedly while pulling Liu Cheng's arm next to him: "Ah Cheng, look, Abnai will definitely be a Jebe (Mongolian marksman) in the future!" ”

Liu Cheng, who was a little absent-minded, looked in the direction of his wife's finger, and there was a cowhide arrow target about ten steps away, with seven or eight arrows scattered on it, two of which were inserted in the red dot in the center, and the rest were not too far away. It's not a good result, but considering that Abnay is only a six-year-old kid and has only been practicing archery for a month, this result can be said to be quite good.

"Pretty good!" Liu Cheng nodded a little perfunctorily: "Servant Guhe, come here!" Liu Cheng smiled at Abunai's archery master: "You taught well, reward you with twenty gold coins!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Jinong!" Fugu He is a man in his early forties, although his archery skills are not as good as Liu Cheng's Zhonghazar, Gesang and others, but fortunately, his temperament is steady, his posture is standard, and he is good at explaining, he bowed to Liu Cheng and said: "The main thing is that the Great Khan is smart and willing to endure hardships and work hard, and if you practice like this for another three or four months, you can learn to ride and shoot!" ”

"So fast! It's too early for Abnai to learn to ride a horse! Liu Cheng was taken aback, he also spent a lot of effort on archery after crossing, but it was okay to shoot on foot, and riding and archery was completely based on character. Now when I hear the other party say that a six-year-old child began to learn riding and archery after a few months of learning kung fu, I can't help but be dumbfounded.

"Great Khan, first let him sit on a horse, learn to shoot a bow and arrow, and then in a few years, when he is eight or nine years old, he can ride a pony, children learn things quickly, remember well, the foundation is laid, and when he grows up, it is nothing more than a strong bow horse!"

"So that's the case, then I'm going to bother you!" Liu Cheng said with a smile, and Fu Guhe hurriedly bowed down and said, "This is what a villain should do!" ”

Liu Cheng nodded, and turned around to see his pair of twins, each of whom was led by a maidservant, and was looking at Abnei who was concentrating on shooting arrows with a bow, his eyes were full of envy. He couldn't help but move in his heart, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Zhao Wende coming in from the outside from the outside quickly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is an urgent letter from Yangzhou over there!" ”

"Oh? Is something going on on Big Brother's side? ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Wende took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Cheng: "It's all in the letter, Mr. Xu said that the matter is too important, he doesn't dare to be self-conscious!" ”

"Oh, eldest brother, he's too cautious, thousands of miles away, do you still ask for instructions? He can just do it himself! Liu Cheng opened the letter and read it as he spoke, he just read two lines, his face changed, and in the end, Liu Cheng flicked the letter with his fingers, shook his head and smiled: "Jiansheng, why are there so many foolish people in this world?" There are so many ways to live, but you have to go to death! ”
