Chapter 688: Counterattack

At the end of August, Chen Xiyan, the first assistant of the Luoyang regime of Great Chu, died of illness, and Luoyang held a very large state funeral for him, giving him a nickname, his descendants, and mourning and honor, all of which were not unexpected by the head of Great Chu, and what really shocked everyone was another thing, Shang Haibo, the former important minister of Dingzhou, took over the post of Chen Xiyan's first assistant and presided over Chen Xiyan's funeral, which was his official appearance in the Luoyang court.

In addition to being surprised, everyone's eyes turned to Dingzhou, wanting to see what Li Qing of Dingzhou would do to this matter. Today's Dingzhou Li Qing is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, he stomped his feet in Dingzhou, the whole Dachu will tremble, and when he sneezes, the entire Dachu will catch a cold.

In Dingzhou, Li Qing sat in the council hall in a daze, and the report sent back by the Supervision Yuan was presented uprightly on top of the big case, which was the details of Shang Haibo's official appointment as the first assistant of Luoyang and the presiding over Chen Xiyan's funeral. A cup of hot tea on the table has long been cold.

The lobby was empty, everyone was blasted out by Li Qing, and he needed time to be quiet, to sort out his disordered thoughts and emotions, and to figure out how to deal with it. The worst happened, and this was the last thing Li Qing wanted to see.

Outside the lobby, there were Mingyan and Ji Sichen kneeling, they had been kneeling outside for almost an hour, the sun above their heads had gradually become scorching, the two of them were sweaty, and the floor around their bodies had been wet with dripping sweat.

Lu Yiming hurriedly walked over, and saw Mingyan and Ji Sichen kneeling, the two of them were already crumbling at this time, obviously unable to support it, and the door of the council hall was still closed, looking at the iron leopard standing in front of the door with a knife, Lu Yiming said angrily: "Leopard, what are you doing, can't you see that the two adults can't support it anymore?" ”

The iron leopard spread his hands and pointed to the back room, which means that the handsome man did not speak, and he did not dare to make a claim!

Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "Hold an umbrella for the two adults, and then hurry up to get a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat. "Mingyan is a weak woman, and Ji Sichen is also a scholar who is not diligent, under such a sun, kneeling for a long time will really be a problem.

With Lu Yiming to speak, Iron Leopard immediately arranged for his subordinates to hold up parasols for the two of them and bring sour plum soup to relieve the heat. The two drank a bowl of sour plum soup, and their faces were slightly better, "Thank you, Lord Lu." The two of them said in unison.

"Let's get up!" Lu Yiming said: "The lord didn't let you kneel here, what's the matter with you?" ”

Mingyan shook her head, "Mingyan is ashamed, she messed up her errand, and she only asks the lord to punish her."

"That's right!" Ji Sichen hung his head in frustration, "We tried all the ways to still let Shang Haibo, a traitor, come to Luoyang and serve as the first assistant of Luoyang, whether it is the political influence or the harm to our Dingzhou itself, it is very great, I am ashamed." ”

Lu Yiming sighed, "The matter has come to this, what's the use of regretting, we have to find a way to solve this matter, so that the impact of this matter is minimized, what can we do while kneeling?" Forget it, I'll go see the lord first. ”

Walked to the door and knocked lightly on the door, "Lord, Lu Yiming asks to see you!" ”

Li Qing in the house was awakened by Lu Yiming's scream, straightened up, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of cold tea, "Yiming, come in!" ”

The door creaked, and Lu Yiming walked into the conference hall.

"Lord, Mingyan and Ji Sichen are still kneeling outside, the time is not short, if you kneel down again, I'm afraid the two of you won't be able to support it." Lu Yiming said.

Through the open door, Li Qing saw the two of them in the sun, "Tell them to get up, the responsibility for this matter is not all on them, they really can't deal with Yuan Fang." Iron Leopard, let the two of them go back on an errand first, what are you doing kneeling here! Are you waiting for me to take care of the food? ”

The iron leopard trotted up to the two of them, whispered a few words, and the two knocked their heads a few times, got up, their legs were weak, and they almost fell to the ground, and then they staggered out.

"What should we do, Sir?" Lu Yiming said.

"Before you came, you should have discussed this matter with Yan Nanfei and Luo Daoming, what do you think?" Li Qing asked while beckoning Iron Leopard to serve Lu Yiming tea.

Lu Yiming said: "The result of our repeated discussions is that the impact of this matter on Dingzhou will not be too great, and from the perspective of outsiders, it seems that we will suffer heavy losses, but in fact, it is not." ”

Li Qing nodded, "After thinking about it repeatedly, I also think that the impact of Shang Haibo's defection to the enemy is mainly reflected in two points, one is the political influence, and the other is that Shang Haibo is familiar with our entire strategic layout, and his surrender to Luoyang will make Luoyang know our next plan well, and make targeted responses, I think, we can see this change soon." The third is that Shang Haibo's personal intelligence is indeed the best choice, and having him to assist the apocalypse will cause us certain difficulties. ”

Lu Yiming nodded, "We have also taken these three points into account, but we all think that this cannot hurt Dingzhou at all." ”

Li Qing stood up, "You are right, at the beginning of Shang Haibo's disappearance, I was shocked and angry, and I couldn't help but overreact, but now that I think about it, there is nothing to be afraid of." Our leading position in Dingzhou is not created by a certain outstanding talent, but because we have formulated a set of effective policies over the years, and these policies are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the facts have proved the effectiveness of these policies, and this whole set of policies is not something that Luoyang can imitate. ”

"Not bad!" Lu Yiming said: "The old privileged class in Dingzhou was almost wiped out by the barbarians, which created an excellent opportunity for us to implement the new policy, and there was almost no obstacle to the smooth implementation, and then when the new policy was implemented in the new territory, the new policy in Dingzhou has become a scale, and the lord has found a new and easier way to make a fortune for those wealthy families, so although there is a rebound, it does not hinder the overall situation, but these new policies, on the Luoyang side, are categorically difficult to promote. Even if Shang Haibo is well aware of the great power of the implementation of this new policy, he will not be able to implement it in the Luoyang control area for a long time. If it is forcibly promoted, it is afraid that it will backfire. ”

Li Qing laughed suddenly, "I really expect the Apocalypse to be forcibly promoted in the vast area controlled by Luoyang with the assistance of Shang Haibo. ”

Lu Yiming laughed, "In this way, the wealthy nobles will lose the land they regard as treasures, and it will be difficult for Luoyang to come up with a huge amount of money to redeem it, and secondly, it will not be able to find a new way to make money for these people, I am afraid that it will be angry and resentful, people will see people abandon them, and people's hearts will be scattered, which is just around the corner!" ”

"Well said! Dong Shi imitates the wind, adding to the laughing stock in vain! Li Qingdao: "Once this phenomenon occurs in the area controlled by Luoyang, then we can set foot in the Central Plains in advance." ”

"The Luoyang regime was originally in the hands of the wealthy lords, although the apocalypse ruthlessly cleaned up a large number of families that threatened the imperial rule of the Great Chu, but it was only a symptom, not a cure, the Luoyang regime was basically based on the wealthy landlords, as long as this foundation remained unchanged, it would be impossible to implement the new policy, let alone learn the people-oriented national policy." Lu Yiming added.

Li Qing nodded, "Compared with these, I am more worried about Shang Haibo's vision and attainments in the big military strategy, Yiming, I have a hunch that we may face a major adjustment in the military aspect." ”

"Yes, my lord, what I'm most worried about is that Luoyang and the south will be reconciled and put pressure on us from two sides."

Li Qing returned to his seat and rubbed his temples, "This possibility is not impossible. If this is the case, then we must have had several vicious fights at sea in recent years, but unfortunately I have sent Zheng Zhiyuan's fleet out again, and if Zheng Zhiyuan cannot open up the situation overseas, I will really have to take care of one or the other. ”

"As soon as General Zheng went for a month, the sea was vast, and there had been no news for several months. I just hope that he will quickly open up the situation overseas and bring us wealth and territory. Once the overseas situation stabilizes, then we can transfer the veteran Zheng Zhiyuan back and deal with Pang Jun together with Deng Peng, and the odds of victory will be greatly increased. Lu Yiming also shook his head and sighed.

"The Supervisory Yuan reported that another giant ship was recently launched in the south, so that they have two giant ships, which is not much different from ours. It's not easy to compete for dominance at sea! ”

"Lord, there are ships launched in the south, our shipyard is not idle, the fourth giant ship has been put into the final commissioning and installation, and it is about to be launched, we still maintain the advantage in numbers, and we have been launched for nearly two years, and we have already formed combat effectiveness, and Zheng Zhiyuan led the Kaitai after this voyage, it will inevitably increase its combat power, even if the south builds more than us, I am afraid that it will become our trophies at that time, but now, I hope that the sea will dry up as soon as possible, In this way, there are fewer opportunities for the other party to run in. ”

Li Qing laughed, "That's right, but wait to see what the reaction of the south is, if they do wear the same pants as Luoyang, then we don't have to be polite, the outer island chains we prepared earlier will make Pang Jun miserable." ”

Lu Yiming saw that Li Qing's mood had improved, and he couldn't help but think of what Yan Nanfei had said, and immediately said: "Lord, King Zhou has been on Lianshan Island for more than a month, and he is panicking every day, how are you going to deal with this matter?" And that princess Yanran? ”

Li Qing knocked on the table, "Yiming, I have an idea, and it's not very mature, you see if you implement it, what will be wrong?" ”

"The lord speaks clearly!" Lu Yiming said.

"We and Luoyang are completely broken this time, even the last layer of fig leaf has been pulled down, and the rest is just a naked competition, and the sword is spoken, in this case, why should I still hold on to the banner of Da Chu?" Li Qing looked at Lu Yiming.

"Lord, do you want to build a country and stand on your own feet now?" Lu Yiming was startled, and suddenly realized that he was a little rude when he said this, subconsciously covered his mouth, grinned silently, and continued: "Didn't the lord keep saying that he would dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and slowly become king?" ”

Li Qing waved his hand, "I'm not saying that I want to set myself up as an emperor, but we now have a ready-made emperor in our hands!" And he is a genuine emperor, with a heirloom jade seal in his hand, and countless things that can prove his identity. If we push him to the forefront, then we march into the Central Plains, it will be justified, we are not rebellious, but for the former Zhengshuo to crusade against the rebels, to seek justice, those scholars don't like to talk about an orthodox inheritance, this time, I want to see what they can say? ”

Lu Yiming opened his mouth wide, enough to stuff a duck egg, "Lord, do you want King Zhou to come to the front desk and call the emperor the emperor?" ”

"He was originally the emperor!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Lord, you need to think twice about this matter, the king of Zhou has a son, if we respect the king of Zhou as the emperor now, then what will we do in the future? Even if the lord and Princess Yanran have a marriage contract, after King Zhou ascends the throne, it is impossible for the throne to be passed on to his son-in-law? ”

"King Zhou can be emperor, but his sons don't have to come back!" Li Qing sneered.

"The lord is ready to ....." Lu Yiming swallowed back the second half of his words, but he believed that Li Qing had understood what he meant.

Li Qing shook his head, "You misunderstood what I meant, if I marry that Princess Yanran, then his brothers are my brothers-in-law, how could I kill them?" Aren't we expanding our territory overseas now? ”

Lu Yiming suddenly realized, "The lord wants to exile them overseas, so that they can not pose a threat to the lord, but also the family affection of Princess Yanran, so it is indeed the best of both worlds." ”

"There's no banishment!" Li Qing said with a smile: "Those places overseas are not as bad as you think, I think the sons of King Zhou are also the children of the royal family, even if they are bad, they can't go there, Zheng Zhiyuan laid down a territory, and let the sons of King Zhou go there to be governors, but the military power is still in our hands, what is there to worry about?" ”

"Lord Shengming!" Lu Yiming was also excited, "In this way, let the king of Zhou restore the Zhou Dynasty, the lord you are the undisputed regent, in charge of political affairs, and the king of Zhou will let him live in the palace for a long time, and after the Central Plains is defeated, he will do Zen again." ”

"That's exactly what it means!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Great goodness!" Lu Yiming laughed, "It seems that the lord has long been confident!" ”

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, the apocalypse took away Shang Haibo, and let him serve as the first assistant, which embarrassed me very much, and I didn't come to be rude, so I also gave him a ruthless blow, but look at the edict covered with the heirloom jade seal spread all over the world, what kind of face did the apocalypse have?"

"I'm afraid that I will be angry and angry, and I will die!" Lu Yiming said with a smile.

"That way, we'll save trouble!" Li Qing clasped his hands and praised: "But I borrowed your auspicious words." ”

"In that way, we're going to be busy." Lu Yiming said: "Welcome the return of King Zhou, King Zhou's re-enthronement, and then the wedding of the lord and Princess Yanran, then Dingzhou is a happy event." ”

"Always Lord Laolu!" Li Qingdao.

"How dare you speak up!" Lu Yiming suddenly remembered something, "Lord, when Princess Yanran enters the harem of the handsome, she must be the wife, so Mrs. Jiyue?" ”

Lu Yiming stopped talking. After the death of Allure, Li Qing's backyard has no owner, and he has always been the head of Jiyue, although Bao'er has been given income in the house, but it has not been officially given a name, Yanran became the owner, and Jiyue's land residence is bound to be embarrassing.

Li Qing raised his palms and stopped Lu Yiming's words, "I have my own opinions on this matter. ”

Lu Yiming nodded, the biggest difference between him and Shang Haibo is that he is never willing to get too involved in Li Qing's harem, but just wake up a little at the right time, with the wisdom of the lord, he can naturally understand his own meaning and deal with it, and now it seems that Li Qing has always had the right idea in this matter, and the whole thing has completely put an end to the last way for Qingfeng to enter the harem.

Princess Yanran is different from Princess Allure in that Luoyang, which Princess Allure represents, has always been the enemy of Dingzhou, so Qingfeng can get up and down, but Princess Yanran is different, her father will be the nominal emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and presumably next, in order to stabilize Princess Yanran's main position in the harem, he will vigorously promote some of the original Zhou lineage into the Dingzhou system, like Wei Gang has been officially appointed by Li Qing as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as long as he comes to Dingzhou from Lianshan Island, he will take office immediately. In this way, the influence of the breeze on Dingzhou will be further weakened.

"I'm going to go to Peach Blossom Building today." Li Qingdao.

Lu Yiming nodded, since Li Qing decided to marry Princess Yanran as his wife, then this trip was imperative. "Director Qingfeng is extremely intelligent, it is indeed a pity to be so idle, and now that Dean Li is missing, the Supervision Yuan is leaderless, and it seems that Mingyan and Ji Sichen will not be able to provoke the big beam in a short time!"

The corners of Li Qing's mouth hooked, who said that Lu Yiming reacted slowly?

Peach blossom small building, peach blossoms have long gone, lush green leaves, white and red peach looks particularly attractive, under the shade of the tree, the breeze hits the light sand, lazily lying on the cool bed, closed eyes and rested, behind them sat two delicate girls, one held an embroidered fan, gently for her fan, the other stretched out ten fingers, peeled off the grapes with well water, and put them in a snow-white porcelain plate.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a guard rushed over, "Miss, the lord is here?" ”

Qingfeng opened his eyes sharply, "The general is here?" At this time? ”

As soon as he sat up, there was a familiar sound of footsteps not far away, and in an instant, behind the peach tree, several figures turned out, it was Li Qing and his personal guards Iron Leopard, Li Wen and Li Wu.

Seeing the breeze, Li Qing made a gesture, and the three people who followed behind him stood in the distance, and Li Qing walked over to this side.

Qingfeng quickly stood up and took a few steps forward, "General, why do you have time to come here today?" ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "What? Are you complaining that I haven't come to see you for a long time? ”

Qingfeng's face flushed slightly, "The general said with a smile, I mean that at this time, it is the time when the general is busy with official business, how can he have time to come over?" ”

Li Qing laughed, "Time, there will always be a squeeze." Glancing at the two people behind Qingfeng, Qingfeng waved his hand to the two girls behind him, and the two girls were blessed and walked out with small steps.
