Volume III, Chapter 9
(I'm back, I went back to my hometown a few days ago, and I've been asking someone to change it, and now things are almost over, and the update can be stable!) Everyone has flowers to give, votes to vote, and numbers to receive! )
I saw that this person was five short figures, three strands of sparse and scorched yellow beard, his forehead was very broad, but his two eyes were extremely frivolous, this person Yang Zhilian saw it almost every year, and couldn't help but be surprised: "How are you here." ”
The man smiled and said, "If it weren't for General Juda, Liu would have died under Li Yu's knife!" ”
It turned out that this person was the deputy envoy of Wei Gao, the envoy of Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu, Liu Pi. That Wei Gao is a very ruthless character, since entering Sichuan, the battle of Tubo has been defeated, more than 20 years of a total of 480,000 beheaded, the imperial court generals have no unsurpassed military achievements, so they can grow the town of two rivers. He is also good at pleasing the emperor, Dezong's trust in him is better than Li Sheng, more than 20 years have never changed, the official residence of the Taiwei and the Zhongshu Order, the king of Nankang County. makes Liangchuan actually have a tendency to become a country of its own, and the person Wei Gao trusts the most is this Liu Pi. Under Wei Gao's long-term cultivation, Liu Piyin has faintly become the second person in Liangchuan. This Liu Pi is not as loyal to the imperial court as Wei Gao, and the long-term warlord division has made Liu Pi have different intentions. It's just that Wei Gao is old and mediocre, and he can't stand Liu Pi's instigation, and he is not at ease with the imperial court, so he sent Liu Pi to Beijing to seek Sanchuan land this time.
Sanchuan, in addition to the two Sichuan Xichuan and Jiannan that Wei Gao is now leading, there is also Shannan West Road, Liu Pi entered Beijing, it was for Wei Gao to concurrently serve as the envoy of Shannan West Road. said that it was for Wei Gao, but in fact it was for himself, Wei Gao's health has deteriorated, and now he has even had the idea of returning to the dynasty, and the doctor invited by Liu Bi said that King Wei Jun would inevitably die in less than two years if he continued like this, so Liu Bi wanted to take advantage of Wei Gao's still existence, use Wei Gao's huge influence, expand his territory, and buy time for his own cultivation. This time in Beijing, Liu Pi can be said to be up and down the camp, painstaking, not only several eunuchs are comprehensive, and even some people in the prime minister's clan have been opened up, and they have given big gifts, counting on these ministers and eunuchs to speak for him, and these ministers and eunuchs are also full of promises, to "try their best to help Wei Taiwei get his wish." ”
Liu Pi was so complacent that he thought that Sanchuan was in control, but unexpectedly, something went wrong with one person. When he first arrived in Beijing, he heard that Li Yu favored Wang Shuwen, and he was almost obedient to Wang Shuwen, if he could let Wang Shuwen blow the wind, he could get twice the result with half the effort, and Wang Ling, who was also known as Wang Shuwen, behaved misbehaps, loved money and goods to the point of openly accepting bribes. So Liu Pi visited Wang Shuwen with a generous gift, he knew that Wang Shuwen was now seventy years old, but his official position was only a living house, and there was still a long way to go before the prime minister, so he said to Wang Shuwen in the words of Tuo Wei Gao:
"The captain sent a certain to meet the lord and told the lord of the captain's sincerity. Taiwei has always been loyal to the country, and has always admired the prince, and now the prince is favored by His Majesty, and Taiwei is deeply happy for the prince. If the prince can persuade His Majesty to let the prince take charge of the three rivers, the prince will definitely support the prince to enter the prime minister. If it doesn't work, the captain will be rewarded as well. ”
How do you know that Wang Shuwen is an extremely honest and shrewd person, how can he not see Liu Bi's intentions? He didn't know if this was Wei Gao's idea or Liu Bi's private opinion, but he knew that once this was the case, there would immediately be an independent kingdom in the south of the imperial court that disobeyed the emperor's orders, and the already stormy imperial court was bound to be even more critical, so he was furious, served tea and sent the guests, and drove Liu Bi out. Who knew that Wang Shuwen immediately entered the palace to report the incident, and persuaded Li Yu to kill Liu Pi.
Uncle Wang thought that Li Yu would be furious when he heard it, but Li Yu was actually very happy and immediately convened the prime ministers to discuss the matter. Let Wang Shuwen not know why.
Gao Ying thought that Wang Shuwen was alarmist and framed the feudal town, and if he really killed Liu Pi, he would force the feudal town to rebel. But Du Huangshang and Du You both said that they had received a gift from Liu Bi, but they just thought it was Wei Taiwei's practice, and they didn't know that what they were trying to do was this. Gao Ying was speechless at the moment.
It's just that Du Huangshang also thinks that Wei Gao has high merit and has a very high prestige among the Shu people, so if he annoys Wei Gao, he is afraid that it will be unfavorable to the country, so he recommends sending an envoy into Sichuan to appease Wei Gao and slowly try to figure it out. However, Li Yu adopted Wang Shuwen's opinion.
Because Wang Shuwen said this: "As a foreign minister, entering Beijing without inviting the court to see His Majesty, but bribing the courtiers wantonly, this is also a crime; As a courtier, he spoke wildly, had a plan to divide the wrong, and did not have the heart of a subordinate, which is also a second crime. His Majesty should behead Liu Pi in prison and send an envoy to Sichuan to interrogate Wei Taiwei. Wei Taiwei has always been loyal to the country, and the court relies on him like a dry city, and it is expected that Taiwei is just confused for a while, deceived by the villain, if he understands, he will definitely send an envoy to the court to apologize. If Liu Pi is not killed, the other towns will definitely be more domineering when they see Liangchuan like this, and the prestige of the imperial court will be lost, and it will be even more difficult to control them. ”
Everyone present was moved.
But Li Yu made this decision not only because Wang Shuwen made sense, but also because Li Yu came through.
Li Yu knew that after Wei Gao's death in history, Liu Pi set himself up as the queen of Jiedu, and did not obey the orders of the imperial court, forcing the Xianzong general Gao Chongwen Xing to enter Sichuan, and fought hard again and again to successfully quell the rebellion. Li Yu is not afraid of war, but he wants money and food to fight, and now he has just established his prestige, rested with the people, and exempted Jingzhao from taxes. He didn't want to ruin his strategy of resting with the people and accumulating popularity because of Liu Pi. Liu Pi entered Beijing very low-key in official affairs, Li Yu didn't know that Liu Bi was coming, and now that Liu Bi sent it to the door himself, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Xiaoxiao, can I let you go?
When he ordered Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, who was on duty, Li Yu led his troops to fetch people. Who knew that Li Yu was too excited, and forgot that there was another person in the palace named Ju Wenzhen. Ju Wenzhen received Liu Bi's heavy gift, and Liu Pi pointed out his own situation, and formed an alliance: Ju Wenzhen helped Liu Pi become the envoy of the Sanchuan Festival after Wei Gao, Liu Bi held heavy troops outside and thought that Ju Wenzhen was aiding, when he heard this letter, he was shocked, and immediately ordered someone to report the news, but when Li Yu led the troops, Liu Bi had disappeared. Searching all over Chang'an but couldn't, and chasing out of Chang'an for dozens of miles, Li Yu had to go back to the palace to report in frustration, so angry that Li Yu, who was in a good mood, broke a large porcelain vase, and strictly ordered the fast horse to send a message to search and arrest all over the way.
Yang Zhilian already knew about this matter, and Liu Bi's gift was not less than a share for him. He is not a stupid person, how can he not understand when he sees Liu Bi here? So he turned his head and asked Ju Wenzhen: "Old club, you are not interesting enough." Jishi, ** did they do it, was it this kid's idea? ”
Ju Wenzhen had already picked up the iron ball at this time and was slowly turning, and when she saw Yang Zhilian asking, she smiled and replied, "If it weren't for Lord Liu, who would have come up with this strange plan?" This medicine is not toxic, the faint gentleman already has a chronic disease, just take the medicine slowly, and in the future, who would have expected that we would do it? ”
When Yang Zhilian heard this, he also smiled and said: "High, it's really high!" As he spoke, he turned to Liu Pi and said, "Lord Liu, for you, I am fighting for my life now." ”
Liu Bi also smiled: "Could it be that for the sake of Yang Gong's wealth, didn't the lower officials also fight for their lives?" When Liu returns to Sichuan, Yang Gong will inevitably have a benefit! In the future, inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, you will have to rely on the second duke! ”
He said this with deep meaning, one means that he will occupy Sanchuan in the future, and he will have to rely on the two of Juyang, and the other is to imply that if the three of them cooperate sincerely, the court will be the world of the two in the future.
Ju Yang and the others didn't know what it meant, so the three of them looked at each other and looked up and laughed together. It's just that the laughter of both Liu and Liu is too sharp, and Liu Pi's laughter is too gloomy, startling the birds in the trees in the courtyard fluttering and flying a group.
