Chapter Twenty-Eight: White and Black Upside Down
Li Yun's wife is happy, and she should go to congratulate her, plus there is still a serious matter to discuss, and it is necessary to go to the Jiedu Embassy.
At this time, Fu Li's double body as a woman and the county lord played a role, and a certain Cheng dΓΉ could get close to the water and get the moon first.
Zhao Zheng and Fu Li immediately took gifts and went to the Jiedu Embassy to congratulate Li Yun on his son.
Strive to meet Li Yun before Han Wei, the same thing, the first impression is very important. Preconceived ideas can often kill people.
A piece of high-quality Korean snow ginseng is enough to knock on the door of the backyard of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, which was originally prepared by Princess Wei for the old lady Qin, but unfortunately it was a step late and failed to prolong the old man's life. Now let the concubine of the festival make the fetus safe, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.
Old and old, Li Yun was quite excited, with a happy smile on his face. Seeing the snow ginseng sent by Fu Li and Zhao Zheng, he said repeatedly: "I'm tired!" β
"Where? Li Gong was polite. Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "Fu Li, go see Madame, and convey greetings and blessings on my behalf!" β
"Go ahead, the girl's parents have some knowledge, and they will have some experience in giving birth to children in the future."
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Zheng looked at Fu Li's shy expression, and a little strange feeling appeared in his heart.
Seeing Li Yun's face full of smiles, Zhao Zheng took the opportunity to say: "Pregnancy represents hope, and when the army was launched to attack Zhao, Mrs. Zun was pregnant, which is a good omen!" β
Li Yun nodded and said, "That's right, although the festival is loyal, it is also pedantic, this kid came at the right time......"
Before the army was raised, he began to hope to ascend the throne as the emperor, and abolish the long and young? It's too whimsical, isn't it?
Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "Gong Li has already met Li Jingyuan, and he must have received the chill of the second son, but on the third or fifth day, the messenger of King Wei should also arrive." When the time comes, the three places will raise troops together, and when they ascend to the heights, the loyal and righteous people will surely respond. β
"That is, with the prestige of this official......" Li Yun smiled: "The main thing is the prestige of Lord Fu, it must be so." β
Zhao Zheng said: "In fact, in the final analysis, it is still famous, and people all over the world still yearn for the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty and miss the kindness of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Sejong." β
"Emperor Taizu Dingding the country, Emperor Shizong Wenzhi martial arts, how can he Zhao Kuangyin compare." Li Yun's attitude and purpose are a bit complicated, on the one hand, he is grateful for the kindness of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and at the same time, he has the idea of competing for the throne by himself, which is quite contradictory. But in any case, it can only be used in the name of Kuangfu Houzhou to the outside world.
"yes!" Zhao Zheng saw that the heat was almost the same, and said softly: "Li Gong, I heard that Mr. Lu of the Northern Han Dynasty is still there, and he often comes to lobby Li Gong?" β
"Hmm!" Speaking of this, Li Yun's expression was slightly unnatural.
Zhao Zheng pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why would the Northern Han be concerned about this matter?" There must be some plan, and it is just a matter of taking advantage of the opportunity, I am afraid that they want to compete with each other and make profits for the fishermen. β
Li Yun frowned, it was said that it was cooperation, but in fact, they all had ghosts, and each wanted to use each other, but did not want to be used by the other party.
"Alas, that Lu Zan has ill intentions, and he has been staying in Luzhou and not leaving, I'm really worried about what kind of conspiracy he has!" Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "Hey, no matter what conspiracy he has, he can't escape Li Gong's eyes, and people are worried about the sky!" β
"That's it!" Who doesn't like to hear flattery? Especially people like Li Yun who are stubborn and self-serving.
As he was talking, Luqiu Zhongqing hurriedly came and said with a smile: "Gong Li, double happiness is coming, General Li Chongjin has sent someone from Huainan Jiedu." β
"Really?" Li Yun was suddenly overjoyed.
"Yes, the right talent Li Gong went to visit his wife, and Ji Chong and Lu Zan are accompanying him in the flower hall."
Zhao Zheng frowned suddenly, so Han Wei came as Li Chongjin's envoy? Things get trickier.
Lu Qiu Zhongqing was mistaken and asked, "Zhao Shu/Ji, is there anything wrong?" β
"Don't be polite, I'm ranked fifth, and Mr. will call me Goro!" After a polite sentence, Zhao Zheng had a plan in his heart and said, "Sir, are you sure that you are the messenger of General Li Chongjin?" β
"He claimed to be, and he had a secret letter to back it up, and he had the seal of General Lee, but it was just ...... People are really ...... It's a hunchback, and there's nothing to be said of! β
"That's weird!" Zhao Zheng said: "Li Jingyuan told me that General Li Chongjin did send an envoy to the north, it was his confidant Zhai Shouxun, but this person stopped when he walked to Bianliang, and turned into Zhao Kuangyin's vertical arch hall. β
"Is there such a thing?" Li Yun and Lu Qiu Zhongqing were both shocked.
Zhao Zheng said: "This is indeed the case, since then General Li Chongjin has been a little hesitant, and the second prince sent people to Yangzhou, but the result is also ambiguous." Huainan is unreliable, so the second son attaches great importance to the cooperation with Li Gong. Why did General Li send someone to Luzhou in a blink of an eye? β
"Uh...... Let's check it out first! β
The seeds of doubt have been sown, and it depends on luck whether they can thrive or not. The next thing to do is to face Han Wei, there is no doubt that he is dancing on the tip of the knife, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed.
Zhao Zheng was inevitably a little nervous, and his palms were already a little sweaty. Suddenly, the smooth skin fell to his fingers, and the little county lord looked at him with encouragement in his eyes and cheered him on.
Zhao Zheng, who was taken the initiative to hold hands by the little county lord, suddenly felt inexplicably happy in his heart, and his confidence increased greatly.
Li Yun did not meet him in the main hall, but came directly to the flower hall, and heard someone from a distance: "If there is the help of the Northern Han Dynasty, Huainan, Zhaoyi Army and Tianxiong Army will raise troops together, and great things can be expected." β
With a slightly hoarse and cold voice, who is it not Han Wei?
Zhao Zheng heard clearly, deliberately fell behind, stabilized his mind, and thought about possible changes and countermeasures.
"Li Gong has arrived!"
When Li Yun saw the face of the hunchbacked Han Wei roe deer, he frowned and asked, "You are General Li Chongjin's envoy?" β
"I've seen Li Gong, in Xia Hanwei, I came on the order of General Li Chongjin of Huainan Jiedu to visit Li Gong!"
"What did General Li Chongjin ask you to do?"
"Contact the general, raise troops together, and support Da Zhou!" Han Wei was a little impatient, he was very excited about the news he heard after coming to Luzhou, the four families jointly sent troops, and Zhao Songyan had a reason to be immortal? Revenge is in sight!
"Li Gong, where is General Li Chongjin's envoy?" Falling behind, Zhao Zheng, who was waiting for the little county lord, only then appeared, and as soon as he entered the flower hall, he happened to see Han Wei, if he was not fully mentally prepared, he would definitely lose his temper on the spot.
As for the last trace of undisguised surprise, like everyone, it is strange who didn't react at all when he saw Han Wei's honor.
"Under the ......" Han Wei looked up and saw the face under the hat clearly, his eyes shot a heavy hatred. The enemy was extremely red when he saw him, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It's you!" β
"Do we know each other?" Zhao Zheng has been brewing for a long time, coupled with his pretty good acting skills, he has a completely doubtful reaction.
"Don't you know?"
"Honorable driver?"
Although Lu Qiu Zhongqing had doubts, he still stepped forward and introduced: "This is Zhao Zheng, the envoy of Fu Zhaoyuan's son!" β
"Fu Zhaoyuan's messenger? I'm afraid it's Zhao Kuangyin's messenger! Han Wei turned around and said: "Gong Li, kill this person as much as possible, he is Zhao Kuangyin's person." β
"What?" The atmosphere in the flower hall was suddenly solemn, and there was a little more solemn atmosphere.
Zhao Zheng and Fu Li smiled: "What did you say? β
Liu Jichong gloated: "What's the matter? Make it clear. β
"You said that he is Zhao Kuangyin's person, what proof do you have?" Li Yun was obviously very nervous.
Han Wei bowed and said: "My father is the deputy commander of the guard department of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army!" β
"You're the son of Captain Han Tong?" Luqiu Zhongqing was also surprised, as the only loyal minister who died in the Chenqiao Mutiny, Han Tong was very respected among the relict ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty.
"Yes, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, on the night of the mutiny, my father led the army to resist Zhao Kuangyin." Han Wei said: "I went to Dingli Courtyard to arrest Zhao Kuangyin's family, but I was blocked by this little monk, and Da Zhou also lost his last hope. He is Zhao Kuangyin's person at all, and he may have something to do with the Zhao family. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Zhao Zheng in amazement, followed by anger in their eyes. The guards stepped forward one after another, drew their swords and faced each other, and when the order was given, they were about to step forward and take the people.
"Zhao Wulang, what do you say?"
"Sure enough, the surname is Zhao, Zhao Kuangyin arranged for you to go to Dingli Academy to become a monk three years ago, it is really a wolf's ambition, a heart of disobedience, and he has been planning for a long time." Han Wei investigated Zhao Zheng afterwards, and only got some of the most basic information.
"The surname Zhao must have something to do with Zhao Kuangyin?" Zhao Zheng was not in a hurry and asked, "Have you finished speaking?" Is there anything to add? β
"Hmph, you Zhao lackey, what else do you have to quibble?" Lu Zan had long seen that Zhao Zheng was not pleasing to the eye, and he was angry at his move to sabotage the alliance between the Northern Han and Luzhou, and he had already had the heart to deal with it and be happy. How can you miss this kind of opportunity today?
"Hey, Mr. Lu only listened to one side of the story, and he was sure that this was the truth? I haven't said anything to quissify it as a quibble, so intentional, it's really suspicious! β
Leaving a cold question, Zhao Zheng turned around and said, "Gong Li, let me say a few words!" β
"Say it!"
"First of all, this brother Tai claimed to be the son of Captain Han Tong, but as we all know, Captain Han's father and son have been killed, and Zhao Kuangyin also held a funeral in a fake manner." Zhao Zheng asked coldly: "Where did a Han Yanei come out of now?" Could it be that because he is hunchbacked and looks miserable, he thinks he is Han Yanei? β
Han Wei said: "Hmph, that's me using the corpse of a servant to disguise and burn it in the fire, and the golden cicada came out of its shell and hid it from Zhao Kuangyin, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it after today, but it doesn't matter."
"I see!" Zhao Zheng said: "Zhao Kuangyin is jealous of Captain Han, and he must care about his family, even if he is dead, at least he must verify his identity, right?" If you replace it with an old servant's corpse, can you really be stiff? A clever man can determine the cause and age of death based on the bones. For example, a person who is burned to death understands that there will be smoke and dust in his mouth and nose, but he will not put it in the fire after death.
This trick can't deceive Zhao Kuangyin at all, if the son of Taiwei Han hadn't died, he would definitely be hunted down openly and secretly, and it would be impossible for him not to have a little trouble? Gong Li, have you heard anything? β
Li Yun shook his head lightly, they had very high-level sources in Bianliang, and they really didn't know anything about this matter.
"Secondly, you claim to be sent by General Li Chongjin, do you have any credentials?"
Luqiu Zhongqing said: "Here is General Li's letter, with the big seal of the Huainan Jiedu envoy on it!" β
"Have you examined the handwriting and seals? It's easy to fake this thing. Zhao Zheng smiled: "As far as I know, the envoy sent by Li Chongjin is called Zhai Shouxun, and he took refuge in Zhao Kuangyin through Bianliang, how can there be another envoy here?" General Li Chongjin is a cautious person, and he can absolutely affirm the loyalty of his subordinates, and affirm that Li Guild will raise troops, rather than betray him? And give such ironclad evidence of 'incriminating evidence'?
All this is really suspicious, I want to ask, where does this ugly hunchback come from? What's the intention? β
