Chapter 660: Shake hands and make peace
Li Huaman said nonchalantly: "It's not once or twice that the Maitreya Sect has tried to rebel, just this Li Fuda has been caught three times, and being able to escape can only be said that he has escaped merit, if the people who caught him are like senior brothers, cutting off the meridians of the hands and feet of the captured criminals, wouldn't it be nothing?" What the emperor is worried about is only that there are more than 100,000 Maitreya disciples, but in fact, in my opinion, the more than 100,000 soldiers are very empty, even if there are really more than 100,000, what can these soldiers who have only hastily trained for two or three months be worth? ”
Duan Fei didn't speak, Li Hua continued: "Judging from the precedent of the Maitreya rebellion back then, although the Maitreya disciples are brave and brave on the battlefield, as long as their leader is captured and killed, they will immediately become a plate of scattered sand, and there is no threat at all, my plan is to send a master to assassinate Zhang Yin, and everything will naturally be fine when he dies. ”
Although Li Hua didn't quite agree with Duan Fei's statement about the Maitreya cultists, but in the end, he said the method of assassination, Duan Fei felt that it was a bit of a hero who saw the same thing, the situation of the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Sect was similar, the sect was engaged in personality worship to gather a powerful force, once the gods and the main backbone in the hearts of the disciples died, they would immediately lose the goal of worship, and their hearts would be empty and dazed, worse than ordinary people, and naturally there would be no threat.
Li Hua continued to talk about how to take the opportunity to eliminate the Maitreya disciples, listening to it, Duan Fei felt a little disapproving, according to Li Hua's method, the Maitreya disciples will indeed be wiped out, Li Fuda and his family are afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to resurrect, but it is inevitable that the attack is too wide, according to Li Hua's method, there are too many people to be affected, and there will inevitably be dry heaven and harmony, not harmonious enough......
Li Hua spoke like a river in high spirits, and after saying a paragraph, he found that Duan Fei didn't say anything at all, he stopped and asked, "Senior brother, it seems that you don't approve of my plan." ”
Duan Fei then said: "It's not that I don't approve of it, but I think there should be a better way, this method of yours can be used as a last resort, wait until I see Guo Xun and see if he is involved in the case before I think about it before I can decide what to do." ”
Li Hua shrugged his shoulders and said: "You are a senior brother, I can only wait and see, senior brother, don't forget, although Guo Xun has no ambitions, he has been bewitching the emperor for the past two years, competing with his senior brother for favor, if the senior brother does not take the opportunity to eradicate him, he will raise tigers and troubles......"
Duan Fei glanced at him and asked, "Guo Xun and I don't have a dispute over direct interests, his little thoughts are not in my eyes at all, do you want him to die?" I heard that you first attacked him for the sake of a prostitute, is it worthless? ”
Li Hua's eyes were hot, and he said: "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to even know this, that's right, I just fought against Guo Xun for Dan'er, this bastard dares to rob me of a woman......"
A big eunuch gritted his teeth with hatred for robbing women with others, although he knew that Li Hua was a fake eunuch, Duan Fei still couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Guo Xun doesn't know that Dan'er is your forbidden body, who told you not to openly marry Dan'er and raise it at home?" It is not strange for eunuchs to get married, and Zhang Rui and Zhang's father-in-law have four wives. ”
Li Hua shook his head and said: "Women are unreliable, if outsiders know that I am a fake eunuch, I can't afford this crime of bullying the king, and if a woman marries home, it will be tasteless, let alone her, senior brother, this Guo Xun will definitely take this opportunity to suppress it, this is my only request from junior brother, please support senior brother." ”
Duan Fei thought for a while and said, "What is the name of the Taoist priest recommended by Guo Xun to the emperor Shao Yuanjie, and what is the situation now?" Can you be implicated? ”
Li Hua shook his head and said: "No, I don't know what kind of drug Shao Yuanjie and the emperor took, the emperor actually obeyed him, it was Shao Yuanjie who suggested that Guo Xun be handed over to Jinyiwei, and wait for the senior brother to come back to investigate and deal with it, otherwise Guo Xun would have finished early, it is strange to say, Shao Yuanjie has been tinkering for more than two years, none of the women around the emperor are pregnant with a dragon son, the emperor still trusts him so much, senior brother, do you say that this guy really drugged the emperor?" ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know, this matter was actually pushed to me by Shao Yuanjie?" I don't know...... Looks like I'm going to meet this one separately......"
Duan Fei and Li Hua discussed for a while, and ordered someone to invite Guo Xun who was detained in the edict prison out, and met in the study, and after a while, Guo Xun appeared in front of Duan Fei neatly dressed, this guy may be the most lenient prisoner in the history of the edict.
"Guo Houye, it's been a long time, Houye's demeanor is the same as before, it's gratifying." Duan Feile said to Guo Xun.
Guo Xun bowed his hand to Duan Fei, he glanced at Li Hua with disdain, and said, "Lord Duan is really joking, I am just a prisoner in the edict prison now, and I may fall to the ground at any time, how happy can I be?" ”
Duan Fei smiled and said: "Guo Houye's words are wrong, even if it is finally confirmed that Zhang Yin is Li Fuda, Guo Houye is at most a crime of negligence, where is the worry of life and death?" Guo Houye, please sit down and speak. ”
Guo Xun's expression slowed slightly, and before sitting down, he arched his hand again, and said: "It's still Lord Duan's reasoning, compared to some people who don't know what to call it...... Tsk......"
Li Hua shouted: "Guo Xun, don't be ashamed, you are still guilty now, and the crime of negligence is also light and serious, Li Fuda is now very difficult to get rid of, if you don't do it, you will be in trouble and shake the country, it is difficult to say whether your head can be saved!" If you don't do it, it's the end of the Nine Clans! ”
Guo Xun snorted, ignored Li Hua's threat, sat down and said to Duan Fei: "Master Duan, have you also decided that Zhang Yin is Li Fuda?" ”
Duan Fei shook his head and said: "Although Gonggong Li's words are conclusive, and the evidence provided by Ma Yushi is also very convincing, but this official does not believe that Zhang Yin is Li Fuda, there are many people in the world who look similar, and people in the Demon Sect are better at changing their appearance to escape tracking, if Zhang Yin is Li Fuda, why does he continue to return to his hometown as an official with his true face?" He is not afraid of encountering fellow acquaintances and recognizing his origin? ”
Guo Xun sighed: "Lord Duan is really smart, this is also the place where Ben Hou is puzzled, Gonggong Li, I don't know how you explain this question?" ”
Li Hua said: "Our family has also considered this problem, Li Fuda has been captured many times and escaped many times, which shows that this person is not good at changing his appearance, or disdains to change his appearance to survive, so he has been recognized many times, and this time is no exception." ”
Duan Fei said: "What Gonggong Li said is also reasonable, as the head of the Maitreya Sect, this Li Fuda is really weird, he was actually arrested three times and escaped three times, is he too stupid or has other plans?" Zhang Yin is Li Fuda or not for the time being, it should be undoubted that he borrowed the Taiyuan Wei secret to accumulate private soldiers, Guo Houye, this is not very beneficial to you, I hope Guo Houye can tell the official openly and honestly about the experience since he got acquainted with this Zhang Yin, and the official will check whether Guo Houye's words are true. ”
Guo Xun sighed, slammed his fist on the desk with remorse, and said: "I was fascinated by ghosts, in order to please the emperor, I searched everywhere for the secret recipe for a child, after Shao Yuanjie entered Beijing, the emperor began to favor Taoism, this Zhang Yin and three disciples came to visit Ben Hou, and won the trust of Ben Hou with the art of turning stones into gold, and Ben Hou was obsessed with ghosts, and received him five thousand taels of gold, planning to recommend to the emperor, I never thought that the emperor was not interested in the art of turning stones into gold at all......"
Duan Fei smiled, Duan Fei once co-starred with Zhengde, Zhengde understands the key, where will he believe it again?
Guo Xun really continued: "The emperor not only didn't believe it, but also scolded me for being deceived, so I went back and scolded Zhang Yin, that guy took out five thousand taels of gold, made amends to our family, and asked me to arrange a place for him to be an official, Ben Hou took his gold, and saw that he and his three disciples were strong and some martial arts, and it happened that the Taiyuan Wei commander was vacant, so I asked someone to go to the military department to place him in, and then he would send some gold and silver to my house during the New Year's holidays, I heard that he did a good job in Taiyuan, so I put my mind at ease, Who would have thought that this guy would secretly do such a thing, Lord Duan Mingjian, Ben Hou is really a little greedy for money, but he will never collude with demons to commit such a great crime of rebellion! ”
Duan Fei asked: "Guo Houye, after Zhang Yin arrived in Taiyuan Wei, in addition to giving you gifts during the New Year's holidays, do you have any other expressions?" Did he ever think of going further in officialdom? ”
Guo Xun thought for a while and said, "It seems to be ...... Yes, last year, the general army of Taiyuan returned from illness, and Zhang Yin sent a sum of money over and wanted this position, but Ben Hou felt that he had only been to Shanxi for less than two years, and he commanded nearly 50,000 horses in Taiyuan Sanwei, which seemed to be a little inappropriate, so he did not agree. ”
Duan Fei patted the case and said with a smile: "Sure enough, there is a providence in the dark, if Guo Houye had agreed to his request, now we may be facing two or three hundred thousand Demon Sect disciples, since this Zhang Yin still has the heart to seek a higher position, let's satisfy him, on the grounds of conferring the rank of chief soldier, let him go back to Beijing, do you think he will come back?" ”
Guo Xun was in great spirits, because this required his power to cooperate, that is to say, there was a chance to atone for his crimes, and if Zhang Yin could be transferred back to the capital to be secretly executed, and then properly dispose of the soldiers of Taiyuan Wei, a military disaster would disappear invisibly, and Guo Xun's guilt would be much smaller.
Li Hua said with some disapproval: "Is it possible for Zhang Yin to be fooled so easily? If it were me, I would have found an excuse not to return to Beijing, and I would have scared the snake. ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "It depends on everyone's means, the official thinks that this plan is very likely to succeed, even if this plan fails, the official has other strategies......"
Duan Fei suddenly raised his breath and shouted, "Wang Zuo, come here...... Who is the Taiyuan General Soldier today? Quickly find the information and give it to the official to study! ”
Wang Zuo left in response, Duan Fei went to Guo Xun and Li Hua who were sitting opposite: "Guo Houye, Gonggong Li, now is not the time to be vindictive, this official hopes that the two of us can shake hands and make peace, the three of us will work together to solve this matter in the most appropriate way, it is a great merit for the country and the people, the emperor will understand our hard work, and the merit and reward are absolutely indispensable......"
Li Hua glared at Guo Xun with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Since Lord Duan intercedes for this guy, our family will spare him." ”
Guo Xun smiled awkwardly, and when he was about to speak, Jiang Hui approached and said loudly: "My lord, there is a Taoist priest outside the door, claiming to be a real person Shao Yuanjie, asking to see the adult, I don't know if the adult will see it?" ”
PS: Yesterday I went to the driving school at six o'clock and came home at three o'clock in the morning, so I practiced my hand...... There are too many people learning to drive, and they don't have the opportunity to be more proficient, it's really depressing, the exam is on Thursday, and there are thirty people in the same car, and none of them are confident......
