Chapter 588: Face or Death
"First of all, hand over my wife's brother and servants, and hand over all the soldiers who framed them to be disposed of by our army. As soon as Zhao Lie said, Yu Hengchen kept nodding his head, this condition is really normal, and everyone has to put forward this condition.www.biquge.info
What did Zhao Lie send troops for, how could he be willing to withdraw troops if he didn't achieve his goal.
"Then there is the one who takes out 100,000 taels of silver to compensate for the loss of my broken army, this 100,000 taels is really not much." Zhao Lie's second condition is normal, this year, the Ming army has a promotion fee, which is all for the soldiers, and it is very important to boost morale.
In Hengchen's opinion, this condition is generally not difficult to agree, 100,000 taels looks like a lot, this can continue to be discussed, isn't it.
"In the end, Liu Zeqing went out of the city to my big tent and kowtowed to me to make amends."
As soon as Zhao Lie's last condition came out, Yu Hengchen was immediately dumbfounded, there was a mistake, you Zhao Lie is indeed a god-like existence of the Ming army, and he is also the new Jing Haibo of the imperial court, but Liu Zeqing is also the chief soldier of Shandong, so let a level-level general kowtow to you to make amends, this is simply forcing Liu Zeqing to jump off the wall in a hurry.
"Is Lord Zhao's condition too much, after all, Liu Zeqing is also the general soldier of the second grade of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, and kowtowing to the Lord to make amends is not only a loss of his personal face, but also a loss of the dignity of the court."
Yu Hengchen pleaded, his meaning was obvious, could he change the conditions.
"When Liu Zeqing framed other people's families for forcible extortion, when Qingzhou attacked and looted the people, the dignity of the imperial court was completely lost."
Zhao Lie sneered and said, don't mention the decency of this Ming court now, when the general generals of the general army in various places are faintly self-reliant, how can the Ming Dynasty talk about decency.
"Today's general is to let him know that the grudges he provoked in the past are not not unrequited, but the time has not come, and now that he has provoked me Zhao Lie, that is the time."
At this time, Yu Hengchen finally discovered a weakness of Zhao Lie, perhaps because Zhao Lie had not been defeated for ten years, and he seemed arrogant.
Yu Hengchen did not suspect that Zhao Lie could not make Liu Zeqing give in, and surrounded and attacked Qingzhou, sooner or later one day Liu Zeqing would give in, and the knife frame on Liu Zeqing's neck would not be able to help Liu Zeqing at that time, and this Shandong general soldier could only surrender on his knees and beg for his life.
The problem is that Zhao Lie will give the worst mark to the court and other officials, the Son of Heaven will be deeply jealous of Zhao Lie's domineering and blind court, and other officials will go around when they encounter contacts with Zhao Lie's subordinates in the future.
It is only said that the Son of Heaven will be deeply jealous of Zhao Lie when he knows this news, and coupled with the suspicions in the past, I am afraid that it is not surprising that the Son of Heaven will use any means to deal with Zhao Lie in the future.
In short, Zhao Lie will fall into an extremely isolated and helpless situation, even some people in the Shilin who were extremely sympathetic to him in the past will also abandon him, because as soon as this bad example opens, is it true that in the future, many generals will be bigger than the fist in their hands and can resolve the conflict on their own, and the imperial court is a tablet.
This is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty that the Son of Heaven and the gentry have been working hard to maintain, the Ming Dynasty has always been a martial artist, but he is afraid that there will be a situation where the martial arts ignore the law and discipline and disorderly government, and Zhao Lie is doing this now.
Yu Hengchen was just about to open his mouth to reason with Zhao Lie, he felt that Zhao Lie was afraid that he would break with the court by doing this, which was extremely unfavorable to both the court and Zhao Lie, and the only one who benefited was rebellion and Jiannu.
Zhao Lie raised his hand to stop his words, "This is my Zhao Lie's condition, there is no need to change it, and then tell Liu Zeqing that when the grain and rice in the city are insufficient, it is not allowed to rob the people's grain and rice, if the people die of hunger, I, Zhao Lie, swear that I will wipe out the Liu family and make him regret coming to the world for a while." ”
Zhao Lie's sharp eyes and unquestionable words made Yu Hengchen understand that Zhao Lie would not change this decision, so he had no choice but to lead the order to the dilapidated gray-yellow Qingzhou City a few miles away.
There is no way, to avoid the worst possibility, it is the task he came, this is the first time Yan Jizu has given him a heavy task, he must have done it, if Zhao Lie can't get it, he will get Liu Zeqing.
Poured outside the east gate, from the name of the newspaper, after the meal time, the east gate was wide open, and Yu Hengchen entered proudly.
He is nothing by Zhao Lie's side, but in front of Liu Zeqing, he is Yan Jizu's staff, and his status is completely different, although Liu Zeqing is also yin and yang against Yan Jizu, Liu Zeqing can be said to be a big silver bullet in the court to this position, and he can be regarded as someone in the court, so he is not afraid of Yan Jizu, but there must be a superficial article, and he must not be too offended, after all, he is a runaway general and not Zhao Lie, the god of the army.
Yu Hengchen was led by the soldiers and walked a hundred steps into the city, and saw Liu Zeqing waiting for a large number of people to come towards him with a bang.
"It turned out that Mr. Yu was here, and he couldn't welcome him from afar, which was rude." Liu Zeqing is hot.
Yu Hengchen has seen Liu Zeqing, but in the past, Yu Hengchen's status in the governor's yamen was not obvious, and Liu Zeqing, who had always watched people put dishes on the plate, was extremely cold to him, but when he saw it today, Liu Zeqing's enthusiasm was a mess.
Although Yu Hengchen is not too old, he has seen too much about red and black, which cannot change his opinion of Liu Zeqing, a ruffian, but it can also be seen from here how embarrassed Liu Zeqing is at this time, he is really anxious.
It's like this, Qingzhou will not be guaranteed sooner or later, and at that time, Zhao Lie's troops will probably not let go of his opponent when they break into the city, and directly cut off his head Zhao Lie seems to be able to do it, and even the big thing of rebellion without Zhao Xingbing has been made, compared to cutting off his skull, this matter is not very big.
Yu Hengchen also found that Liu Zeqing, who was a little chubby, had now become a normal person with a fairly standard figure, well, compared to the tall and fat man in the past, it was much more pleasing to the eye.
Liu Zeqing's face was slightly yellow, and the bags under his eyes were prominent, tsk, look at this torture, you also have today, the wicked still need the wicked to grind, Yu Hengchen slandered in his heart.
"How dare you wait for Lord Liu, don't you dare." Yu Hengchen hurriedly bowed his hand, but he didn't bow down.
"Lord Yan must have persuaded Zhao Lie, the murderer, and the siege of Qingzhou will be solved." Liu Zeqing's expression was looking forward to this, and these little eyes looked at Yu Hengchen hopefully.
This made Yu Hengchen feel cold, this Liu Zeqing had never heard of a habit of Longyang, but he had more than a dozen wives and concubines, dozens of children, and he was also a drunkard.
Liu Zeqing's expectation to be honest made Yu Hengchen embarrassed to tell the truth of the matter, and it was probably a little difficult for Liu Zeqing to accept this result without him.
"Well, Lord Yan sent me to persuade Zhao Lie with good words, and it can be regarded as a disgrace to the mission, and I finally let Zhao Lie quit." When Yu Hengchen said this, Liu Zeqing's little eyes immediately became bright and bright.
Yu Hengchen's heart is not good, don't expect too much, he hurriedly said,
"It's just that Lord Zhao Lie put forward three conditions."
"Mr. Yu just speak." Liu Zeqing said eagerly.
"First, Lord Liu wants to release his relatives and hand over the soldiers who framed him, which can be regarded as an explanation to Lord Zhao Lie."
"No problem, no problem." Liu Zeqing agreed, no matter how big a thing is, it is to release the hostages, and he really doesn't care if he hands over a handful, and he agrees very happily.
Yu Hengchen looked at Liu Zeqing, who was a little excited, pityingly, poor baby, you should continue to listen,
"Second, Lord Zhao wants Lord Liu to pay 100,000 taels of silver for compensation."
"One hundred thousand taels." Liu Zeqing's eyes widened, the muscles on his face trembled, it was so special, he was extremely painful, this guy had to pay for his family.
"My lord, I don't need to say more about the saying that money is a thing of body." Yu Hengchen said coldly.
"Okay, I'll answer." Liu Zeqing said hatefully.
"Third, Lord Liu personally went to Zhao Lie's camp to kowtow to him to make amends." Yu Hengchen said the last condition.
"What, what." Liu Zeqing's small eyes widened, and he looked at Yu Hengchen with his mouth wide open in disbelief, he never dreamed that he would get such news.
He is a dignified right governor, the chief soldier of Shandong, and the second-rank member of the imperial court needs to bow to another chief soldier to apologize, so why is he only bowing to the royal family and the cabinet elder now.
Liu Zeqing's face turned red, and Yao Wenchang next to him shouted, "Good dog, let my family bow and apologize, Zhao Lie'er dream." ”
"General Yao can shout to General Zhao, but it's just a cloth cloth below." Yu Hengchen said lightly.
Of course he wanted to keep things done, but if the two people on the other side were so brain-dead, there was nothing to say.
Yao Wenchang is also full of blood and blood, and it is miserable to be bullied these days, when has he experienced this, he has always bullied others, and others begged him everywhere.
Ever since he had this filthy job of framing others, when has there been less money women, these bitter lords have sent him generous gifts, and they have to greet each other with a smile and be honored as an adult, just to bring the children of the family back.
Anyway, no matter how these people scolded him in secret, they thought that the eight generations of their ancestors were scolded, but Yao Wenchang didn't care, whoever dared to humiliate him in front of him would not know whether he was alive or dead.
But this Zhao Lie asked them to go to the camp to kneel down and make amends, this is really humiliating, but, but, but, but just stay up like this, okay.
He knew that Qingzhou City wouldn't last long, after all, it was a state city in the mainland, not a Xiongcheng of the border pass and the Jingshi, so it couldn't last too long.
Yao Wenchang was silent, and Liu Zeqing was face changed, showing this entanglement in his heart.
Yu Hengchen can only be sympathetic to this, but according to his thoughts, these two bastards should also be, whoever let you bully Zhao Lie is really self-defeating. (To be continued.) )
