Chapter 141: Courage
The heir of the Duke of Zhenguo executed two foreign envoys who were disrespectful to the Great Liang, so he had to deduct two or three months! Not to mention the An family's death-free golden scroll, just by virtue of the identity of the only heir of the An family, it is impossible for the court to punish him heavily for this.
Takeda Nobuyo was taken aback, Emperor Daliang obviously couldn't anger the Zhenguo General's Mansion because of one of his Dongying envoys, and it was estimated that he wouldn't even be severely punished if he really cut him down, at most he would blame two sentences and then send a few souvenirs to Dongying to comfort and comfort things, Dongying would also send another envoy to come over and start negotiations again, anyway, there are many brothers and younger brothers.
Takeda Nobuyama was not stunned, seeing that Zhao Xian really dared to make a move, his hand on the handle of the knife slowly loosened, hesitated for a moment and just snorted: "Lord Zhao, I respect the Zhenguo General's Mansion of Daliang, their generals are all real warriors, I will give you this face today, go back and wait for the summons of Emperor Hou Daliang, if we still do not agree to our conditions after three days, we will really leave for Northern Qi, please don't stop me at that time." ”
Whether the old emperor can resist or not is still a problem the day after tomorrow, and acute cerebral thrombosis is fatal in this era when medicine is not developed. Zhao Xian sighed secretly in his heart, and when he saw that the ambassadors of Dongying had softened, he waved his hand and said, "Take Wuda... No, Prince Takeda went to Siyi to settle down, and there are a lot of killers in Kyoto, so protect them well and don't run around. ”
When Takeda Nobumasa heard that his personal freedom was going to be restricted, he was immediately angry, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that it was impossible to bargain with Zhao Xian, so he could only walk out with a calm face.
The surrounding guards and eunuchs were stunned and looked at the Dongying envoys who obediently retreated and stopped sprinkling, but they didn't expect them to be really convinced, and their eyes turned to Zhao Xian showing a little admiration, that admiration was from the bottom of my heart, Xu Ziqing groveled and persuaded for a long time, but the more he persuaded him, the more arrogant he became, and as a result, Zhao Xian was obedient in three or two sentences, this is the wrist, one is the son of the prime minister, and the other is the grandson of the captain, the status is almost the same, why is the gap so big.
The Goryeo envoy looked at Zhao Xian, but there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, shouting above the palace, daring to say no, he would move the knife, when did Daliang come out with such a fierce and brave character. This is completely different from the state of etiquette he knows, and the beam of convincing people with virtue, could it be that he has changed his style? The two entourages behind him also looked at Zhao Xian in surprise, a trace of strange light flashed in their eyes, and they kept whispering to each other.
Zhao Xian carried the knife on his shoulder, twisted his neck and made two 'gurgling' bone friction sounds, turned his head to look at the Goryeo envoy who had been cold for a long time, and sighed: "Han Bang... No, Lord Kim of Goryeo, are you also planning to divert to Northern Qi? ”
Everyone was silent when they heard it, and the little prince of Dongying was arrogant, the country had weight, but Goryeo was not Dongying, their troops were weak, if it weren't for the help of Daliang in the back, they would have been swallowed by Northern Qi long ago, and they dared to jump into the tiger's mouth. Lord Jin hurriedly bowed, looked at Zhao Xian and said, "This lord, the matter of Takeda Nobuya's affairs has nothing to do with me at all. I came here to discuss matters with your country amicably, but it was just a misunderstanding, so we will go to the Siyi Pavilion without you sending it. ”
After saying that, he followed the guard who led the way and walked out, running faster than a rabbit.
Zhao Xian took a deep breath of cold air, put away the knife and walked out, and said to a few little eunuchs: "You clean up the Wenhua Palace, the house is full of smell, don't these guys take a bath when they come by boat." ”
"Yes, that group of civilized barbarians, where they know these etiquette, General Zhao, you go slowly, and leave these little things to the small ones." A few guards who came with him hurriedly responded, and commanded this palace to clean up, as Zhao Xian's subordinates, they felt that they had more face, when did those civil officials be so tough, this is like the attitude of a big country.
Out of the Wenhua Palace, when I looked up, I saw Xu Ziqing running in a hurry from a distance, shouting all the way, 'keep people under the knife', his expression was very anxious, for fear that Zhao Xian would cut down those envoys.
There's something wrong with this guy, right, I'm famous for being virtuous and convincing, so I can do it casually. Zhao Xian walked up to him and said with a sneer: "Ziqingjun, what are you singing?" Can't save your husband on the court? ”
Xu Ziqing hurriedly ran around, and when he raised his eyes and saw the tragic scene of the Cultural Hall being empty and not splashing three feet of blood, he breathed a sigh of relief, ignored Zhao Xian's ridicule, frowned and asked, "Dongying and the envoys of Goryeo?" Why didn't you see anyone? ”
Zhao Xian said casually: "I obediently went to the Siyi Pavilion to stay, waiting for the emperor's summons." ”
"Huh?!" Xu Ziqing was slightly stunned, and then showed an incredible expression: "How is it possible, I persuaded them for so long and they refused to stop their anger, how long has it been..."
"Brother Xu." Zhao Xian looked helpless, patted him on the shoulder and said: "According to your negotiation with other countries like this, the princess is not enough to marry, since people have come all the way to ask for the beam, the master is the duty of the guest to represent the guest, but the guest bully does not know that resistance is incompetent, go back and study for a few years to ask for advice, Mr., to be a famous and talented man through the ages is better than to become a mediocre minister who has brought disaster to the country and the people, I still have to leave in advance, bye!" ”
Scholars have always belonged to the doves, Xu Ziqing has been valued by harmony since elementary school, and it is normal to lack blood and courage in his bones.
Zhao Xian is different, he doesn't have a good impression of Dongying Gaoli, and he has a Mao relationship with him, anyway, if something happens, there is an family, and it is natural to have a backer to deal with this kind of thing.
"You, you are the mediocre minister who has brought disaster to the country and the people, you don't know the current situation at all, if you anger Dongying and Goryeo...... Hey, don't go......"
Xu Ziqing was obviously unwilling to listen to Zhao Xian's teachings, and wanted to refute it, but seeing that Zhao Xian had already left the Wenhua Hall with someone, he couldn't help but flick his sleeves angrily and walked away.
And when they heard that Zhao Xian used a knife to kill Dongying's envoys, the imperial historian Xie Mo and Lin Qingyuan hurried over, but they didn't expect to see this scene in the dark, Xie Mo couldn't help but nod and approving: "This son is more courageous than the old man imagined, if he is taught and cultivated more, the future is limitless, and I don't know where the An family found such a character." ”
Lin Qingyuan, who followed, said with some concern: "This son does have some courage, give him a knife, he will dare to kill people, give him an army, who knows what he can do, just rely on his toughness when dealing with Dongying's envoys, he must not be a puppet who will only be manipulated by others and have no opinions, if he has his own ambitions and successfully escapes from the control of the An family and replaces him, he will never be as peaceful as Old Man An, we don't get rid of him but cultivate, will we raise tigers for disaster and beam?" ”
"No, it won't." Xie Mo shook his head lightly: "He is not the real An Li'er, but he temporarily relies on this identity to control the power that does not belong to him, without this identity he is nothing, and we know this secret, as long as we tell him the news, he will naturally panic, and then we will create a new trap that only my Fuguotang knows about and let him jump in, so as to master his handle, he will naturally deviate from the An family and fall to our side, and never have to worry about his ambitions, because we only need to spread these two things." , the power he controls will fall apart in an instant. ”
"Sir, great talent." Lin Qingyuan felt that this was a very good plan, and he was happy at first, but immediately frowned and asked, "But, what kind of trap should we dig for him to jump?" What if he doesn't jump? ”
Xie Mo touched his gray beard and shook his head inscrutablely: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I have some eyebrows, the matter is not urgent, and it is not too late to start acting when I am well prepared, so I should care about the emperor's condition first." ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Zhao Xian stayed in the palace until the afternoon, because there was nothing important to do, he took leave to go home in advance, and when he went out of the palace gate, he found that the old man An had sent a carriage to wait outside the palace gate, so he took a diversion and went to his small courtyard.
At dusk, the pedestrians in the city are thinning, the spring breeze is blowing slowly, the sun that has been rising for a moment in the morning has disappeared, the sky is slowly darkening, the spring rain "ticking and ticking" gradually falls, and the sound of fine raindrops falling on the roof of the carriage tells everyone that it is coming, like playing a percussion music, cool and sweet.
lowered his head and wiped the blade full of gaps, but Zhao Xian's eyes were not focused, as if he was thinking about things. Today, both soft and hard Shi learned the news of the emperor's critical illness from the mouth of the Feng Imperial Doctor, and even if Zhao Xian's nerves were as big as Yijun's, he also knew that the sky was about to change.
The old emperor does not die Zhao Xian is estimated to be very dangerous, because the influence of the old emperor is too great, and he can suppress the An family and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military so as to slowly suppress him, but after the old emperor died, it will be different, the prince has just ascended the throne and can't lower the Manchu Dynasty civil and military at all, in order to let the civil and military officials support him, he will definitely be rewarded, as for the An family, he will not dare to touch it, on the contrary, the An family will be rewarded, but the old man An will be rewarded again, and the king with a different surname will be crowned again, no matter how stupid the prince is, it is impossible to do this kind of thing, and all the rewards will naturally fall on Zhao Xian's head.
As for what reward he would get, Zhao Xian didn't care, he only cared about who would attack him.
After the death of the old emperor, it is obviously impossible for the imperial family to risk a mutiny to deal with him, so it is safe for the time being, and Fuguotang intends to win him over, and it is also safe for the time being, so the only people who have been offended by themselves are Prime Minister Xu Ming, Yue Pingyang, the governor of the Northern Metropolis, and Shen Lingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Needless to say, the reasons for Shen Lingshan and Yue Pingyang, and although Xu Ming did not negotiate with him, Xu Ming, as the head of a hundred officials, could not let the An family continue to develop, and it was only a matter of time before he could do it.
However, if you know it, Zhao Xian has no way, if you can destroy these three people, the Zhenguo General's Mansion will directly become a shogunate above the imperial power, how can he easily let him succeed. Besides, he and Shen Lingshan know each other, as long as Shen Lingshan doesn't turn his face, it's not good for him to attack Shen Lingshan directly, but he can't just wait like this, in case someone attacks him, he has to be prepared, what should he do...
