Chapter 662: The Black Sheep
Li Xingmo's face changed slightly. It stands to reason that military affairs cannot be the turn of a civil servant like him to worry about. Therefore, Pang Guangda's groundless "worry" made him vigilant.
What was he trying to get out of his mouth? Who's standing behind it? What is its purpose?
The more Li Xingmo thought about it, the more worried he became, he frowned and stroked his beard, and said, "Hmm...... The stakes are high, and there are too many and too many things involved. But the old man always believed that with the wisdom of His Majesty and the wise decisions of the ministers, he would always come up with the most appropriate way. β
Before you are sure what the results of your words and deeds will be, it is the consistent way of the old fritters in officialdom to say nonsense without substance. Pang Guangda was not surprised at all, but smiled meaninglessly, and instead of picking up a black wooden box from the ground.
The box has a clear texture and lifelike carvings, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
Pang Guang laughed and said: "Before I came, I heard that Lord Li likes tea, so you can bring a set of tea sets, and I hope that Lord Li will not dislike it." β
Li Xingmo didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Pang Guangda's big gourd, but if he didn't accept it, it would be tantamount to not giving the other party. But he has nothing to do with this doctor, why is he so attentive?
After some calculations in my heart, it is not good to refute the other party. Li Xingmo laughed a few times and said, "That'...... Thank you for your kindness. β
But when it turned out to be the black wooden box, Master Li's face changed, and he found that the box was much heavier than the ordinary tea set, which made his hands sink slightly.
He didn't know how many bribes he had received, and he knew that the box was not a tea set at all, but gold and silver!
Master Li's face was ugly, and he said, "Huge man, you are ......"
Pang Guangda showed a "reassuring" expression and sighed: "If you don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, the official won't sell it." These days, the official can't sleep at night, for fear that when the Tang Dynasty falls, those beards in the Western Regions will beat my Daqi idea. Master Li, what is our current situation, I'm afraid you and I know it. I'm afraid that some people in the DPRK are greedy for pleasure and miss a big thing! β
Li Xingmo suddenly realized that this fat man was the party that supported the increase in Datang, and wanted to let himself follow and stand in line, and make a statement to His Majesty when the time was ripe.
Seeing that he was silent, Pang Guangdao: "Master Li, leave your mansion later, there are still many people to visit." It is a matter of family and country affairs, and I hope that adults will focus on the overall situation! β
Li Xingmo was taken aback, knowing that he was forcing himself to make a statement. I didn't expect that with his city, he would be so direct and tough without figuring out his own reality.
Where does his confidence come from? Li Xingmo couldn't figure it out. Because I can't figure it out, I am more and more afraid.
"This ...... In the subordinate's soft words, I am afraid that what he says will not be able to enter His Majesty's ears. The love of such a huge person really makes the official panic. Alas, people are old, and it is easy to lose sleep when they drink too much tea. β
Seeing him push the black wooden box back, Pang Guang smiled and got up and said, "That is the case, the official has taken his leave." β
Walking to the gate, Pang Guangda seemed to remember something, turned his head and said, "Oh yes...... I heard that during the control of the Yellow River last year, the state treasury allocated 10,000 taels of silver, which did not match the accounts. Later, the official heard that Ling Gongzi had a new set of summer resorts, and the young women in the village were like clouds, stroking the piano and making music every day, just like a fairyland on earth, and I didn't know if it was true. Lord Li, the son of Ling's young age, is almost expected to be added to the lintel of the glorious gate in the future. There is a son like this, it is really enviable! Hehe, say goodbye. β
After hearing this, Li Xingmo's face was like ashes.
Looking at the back of Pang Guang leaving with a big smile, thinking about his threatening words, and then looking at the heavy black wooden box, Li Xingmo gritted his teeth and finally made a difficult choice.
***********************************************
When he got out of the Li Mansion, Pang Guangda boarded the carriage that was already waiting at the door.
Sunlight shines through the windows of the carriage, illuminating the not very spacious space. And this car, which is usually only Pang Guangda can step into the carriage alone, there is still a person sitting.
The people in the car silently admired the scenery outside the window, until Pang Guangda sat down, then turned his face with a smile and asked, "Huge man, how are things done?" β
With a young face and clear eyes, who is it not Tang An?
After participating in the palace feast, Tang An knew that there was not much time left for him. The maze that had been laid down for a long time dissipated, and his purpose was finally exposed under Xie Yuan's nose.
The temptation he gave was not untempting - to give away a large piece of land, so that the Great Qi soldiers could "expand their territory" without blood, and also maintain the reputation of "benevolence and righteousness" of the Qi State, which was a great temptation for a group of Qi people who lived in a hypocritical world.
But Xie Yuan knew that this country was already terminally ill.
No matter who wins in the end, the one who can laugh and laugh will never be Daqi. The people of Qi have been comfortable for a long time, and they have long lost their bloody nature of opening up territory and dominating the world. The so-called "humerus" of the DPRK is no longer loyal to the country and the people, but like a group of greedy and ignorant vampires.
Xie Yuan believes that the country that grew up in the war, even if it is scarred, as long as there is a breath, it will recover in the shortest time, and then surpass the Qi country!
What he wants to see is that the two powerful enemies fight to the death, decay and become an old man who is almost twilightβa sick man who will never threaten the Qi State again!
Sadly, he was born in a weak country. So in this troubled era where heroes are numerous, there is no place for him.
Tang An admired Xie Yuan, and being able to maintain such a keen sense of crisis in comfort was enough to prove his preciousness. can be appreciated and appreciated, and the different positions doom the two to become enemies.
In the unaccompanied Qi country, the only resource Tang An could use was Pang Guangda.
He never dreamed that the crisis-ridden trip to Nishan and the bucktooth boy he inexplicably met would actually become his lifeline.
As he had guessed, as a doctor, his favoritism was enough to leave him in the stench for 10,000 years. If this matter is poked out, it will cause an immeasurable blow to the prestige of the imperial court and the reputation of the Jixia School Palace. When the time comes, his Pang family is destined to become a victim of the imperial court.
Who wants to give up everything? Now, if you want to protect your own interests, you can only be driven by Tang An, so that everything that happened will be buried in the shadows forever.
Therefore, although Pang Guangda was extremely reluctant, he had to accept the fate that he had been tied to Tang An on a rope.
After solving Feng Zhiyao's troubles, he prayed again and again that this plague-like Lord Tang would never come to his trouble again. But the more you try to get out of trouble, the more trouble will come you.
The day after the dance feast ended, Tang An secretly came to his house. As to what is going on - does it need to be asked?
He came to Qi for only one purpose, that is, to borrow a large army to relieve the siege of the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that above the court, His Majesty's attitude is not clear, and Xie Yuan, the Duke of Dingguo, has been obstructing it, and the tension of the matter is not smooth.
He needs someone to say a few good words for him, but he is not familiar with life in Daqi, and no one will take the risk to speak for him, he needs a helper - a helper who can win people's hearts and win over assistants for him.
Is there a more suitable candidate for a doctor who has mastered the secrets of countless important ministers, but has been gagged with silver?
What's even more rare is that he still has a handle in Tang An's hands. Every time he thought of this, Pang Guangda was almost crying. It's just that I pity Pang Zijing, who is slapped by my father's big-eared melon seeds every day, but I don't understand what mistakes I have made at all.
After getting into the carriage, Pang Guangda no longer had his previous attitude, but changed to a respectful face: "Tang Houye, I happen to have some handles of Li Yushi in my hands, plus I have received the money, so I can't help but let him not agree, you can rest assured." β
"Look at what you said! You have eaten more rice than your younger generations have eaten more salt, so what is there to worry about your younger generations? Tang An laughed, as if he had been a friend of Pang Zijing since he was a child, and treated his uncle next door.
"Yes, yes." Pang Guangda resignedly, "Li Xingmo has solved it, shall we go to the next one?" β
Tang Anxin was amused. At this very time, this Pang Guangda was afraid of being discovered and his relationship, so he couldn't wait to complete the task quickly so that he could go back to his house to hide, and he even took the initiative to defect to the enemy and betray the country.
"The huge number of people bothered so much about the affairs of the younger generation, which made the younger generation feel guilty. Be careful, and I hope that the master will not mind. β
Tang An said, taking out a red box from his sleeve, a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg shimmered with a moving luster, like a treasure in the Dragon Palace.
Seeing the different colors on Pang Guangda's face flashing, Tang Anxin was even more proud. can allow him to maintain his current power and get countless wealth, how can he not obediently work for himself?
As for where the money came from, I am afraid that the treasures, gold and silver that Cheng Yunhe has saved over the years of running the Genting Tower, I am afraid that they will all be squandered by himself.
"Ahem! Tang Hou Ye is really too polite, you and Zijing are friends, this year's trivial things are really not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about. β
"Hey-this is a little bit of the junior's heart, don't shirk it, adult." Tang An forced the night pearl into the latter's hand, and said with a smile: "You are working for the well-being of the people of Datang and Daqi. If you succeed, thousands of people in Datang should be grateful for your merits! Daqi got the land, and the national strength is better than before, and it's all your credit! It's just that the juniors left in a hurry, otherwise even if I give you a mountain of gold, I can't express my heart's gratitude! β
Pang Guangda was "embarrassed" to turn out the baby, and the bitterness in his heart calmed down a little, and said with a smile: "This official has always thought that this matter is a merit for a thousand years, and Dingguo Gong has repeatedly made obstacles, which makes people incomprehensible." Hou Ye can rest assured, such a good thing that benefits the world, this official must be dedicated. β
"To be able to get rid of the view of the door and truly think about the people of the world, the huge people are really big heroes and heroes! Please allow the juniors to say from the bottom of their hearts - thank you! β
Tang An's sycophants who don't want money are flying all over the sky, but his heart is becoming more and more proud. Sigh Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan, your black sheep black sheep are so happy...... You know what?
