Chapter 253: Woe and Blessing

A few days later, in Huixian County, Zuo Liangyu's residence, with a violent slap on the table, followed by a burst of angry words. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

"Damn, it's really damned, I actually fell for the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so that the other thieves have a chance to breathe, and all the previous efforts were in vain!"

Zuo Liangyu sat in a place in the study, his face was pale, the hand hammered on the table was still clenched into a fist, and the joints were straight and white, just this point, it could be seen that the monstrous anger in his chest.

Zuo Mengeng stood aside, seeing his father's indignant appearance, although he felt the same way, but he was more puzzled, his father had always been happy and angry, and he shouldn't be angry about Gao Yingxiang's escape.

Thinking of this, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but ask: "Father, although we fell for the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Gao Yingxiang's gang of thieves were able to escape and have a chance to breathe. However, we have ensured the safety of King Lu, what do you have to be angry about? Moreover, on the night of the army, didn't you say that the safety of King Lu was the first priority, why are you so angry now? ”

Zuo Liangyu glanced at Zuo Mengeng, as if he had been reassured a little from these questions, and the anger on his face had faded a lot, but his expression was still very complicated, and he looked very helpless, and he didn't say anything.

Seeing that his father was so affectionate, Zuo Mengeng seemed to think of something, his heart moved, and he asked uncertainly: "Father, did Xie Wenju do something unfavorable to our father and son and slander the emperor?" ”

Hearing this, a trace of annoyance flashed between Zuo Liangyu's eyebrows, and he returned to normal in an instant, turning into a worried look, just sighed lightly, still didn't say anything, and then pulled out a line from the bookcase next to him and handed it over.

With such a look, Zuo Mengeng instinctively took over the text and blurted out: "Father, ...... this?" ”

"Don't ask so much, if you look at this article, you will know everything in your heart." Faced with so many questions from his son, Zuo Liangyu still replied in frustration.

Zuo Mengeng didn't say anything more, but slowly unfolded the text, quickly browsed it, as the reading content deepened, his face showed a look of annoyance, just after reading it, he suddenly closed the text, and couldn't help but shout with righteous indignation: "Father, this must be Xie Wenju's eunuch bastard, he must have complained to the emperor about the black situation, only talking about the siege of Huixian County and almost losing it, but not talking about our achievements these days, killing so many bandit leaders." ”

After yelling at such a sentence, the dissatisfaction and complaints in Zuo Menggeng's heart all poured out at once, like a flood that burst the embankment, and it was out of control.

"King Lu is really, it's too uninteresting, we have rescued the danger of Huixian County many times, and we have been thousands of miles away to protect its safety, but we have treated our father and son like this, and we have not said a good word to the court for our father and son!"

"The emperor is too, how can he listen to and believe it? Why does he believe whatever Xie Wenju says, what our father and son and local officials are talking about is farting? We have to protect his Ming Dynasty, and he is charging for his Zhu family and selling his life, how can he treat us like this again and again? It's like a thief......"

"Zuo Menggeng, shut up... What nonsense?! Zuo Liangyu scolded Zuo Mengeng and stopped the words behind him, his expression had changed greatly, and he was a little miserable.

Seeing that his son finally stopped "talking nonsense", Zuo Liangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his nervous expression eased a lot, and he lowered his voice and warned: "You kid don't want to live anymore?!" Talking about the emperor and the prince in vain, it is a felony of killing the head, and no one can excuse us. If someone with a heart listens to it, your life and mine will not be guaranteed. ”

Although Zuo Liangyu's voice was very low, it was full of a sense of sound, and Zuo Mengeng, who was scolding, was full of excitement, and suddenly woke up from his anger, secretly having some fear, and only felt a chill down his spine.

At this moment, after his father's dialing, Zuo Mengeng remembered, don't look at this is the residence of his father and son, it is heavily guarded, and it is heavily guarded everywhere, but it is difficult to ensure that the partition wall has ears, and it is difficult to prevent the emperor's "eyes and ears"!

What's more, there are recent signs that the emperor has gone from the old path of the emperors of the previous two dynasties, reusing the eunuchs and using secret institutions such as Jinyiwei.

Although there is a Xie Wenju as a supervisor on the surface, monitoring his father and son, he secretly does not know how many secret agents of Jinyiwei are placed by his side, monitoring his father and son's every move.

In an instant, Zuo Mengeng had some comprehension and understood why his father's expression had changed before, why he was so helpless and complicated.

Soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, and they may die at any time, but the king is always on guard against himself, and what kind of means are used, how can this not make people feel cold? How can it not be frustrated?

Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng, father and son, glanced at each other, and knew very well in their hearts that everything they had done had a clear conscience and could withstand any test, completely for the sake of the imperial court, and they were not afraid of the investigation and surveillance of those eunuchs and Jinyi guards.

However, it is one thing to have a clear conscience, and it is another thing to be spied on. Although the line is upright and open-minded, in the face of this kind of suspicion and distrust, no matter who you are, no matter how big your mind is, it is not a taste!

Perhaps, this is the sadness and helplessness of being a courtier!

There are countless meritorious achievements, and it is very likely to be suspicious of the king, and the high merit has always been an eternal iron rule; If you do nothing, you will be held accountable by the imperial court, and you will be dismissed from your official position at the least, or your life will not be guaranteed.

is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, just after venting for a while, Zuo Liangyu has returned to normal in an instant, suppressed the unhappiness and dissatisfaction in his heart, smiled reluctantly, and pretended to be generous: "Xie Wenju and King Lu did this, although they slandered us and weakened the merits they have made in the past few days. But, on the flip side, this is not a good thing. ”

Zuo Mengeng was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Father, what kind of good thing can this be?" When Wang Pu came like this, it was obvious that he was here to restrain us, and the emperor didn't worry about us. ”

"Meng Geng, what you said is right, it is indeed the truth." Zuo Liangyu's expression had completely returned to normal, and he seemed to have figured out something, smiled mysteriously, and then continued: "Meng Geng, don't forget, all along, whether it is Huaiqing Mansion, Weihui Mansion, or Zhangde Mansion, there are chaotic armies raging. Compared with the three places in Henan, our troops are stretched, and we can only be tired of running for our lives and fighting fires everywhere. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Mengeng also reacted, and seemed to have thought of something, and asked uncertainly: "Father, what do you mean...?" ”

"Meng Geng, it seems that you have already guessed." Zuo Liangyu showed a look of satisfaction, and then continued: "Yes, with Wang Pu's 6,000 people in the Beijing camp, we can deal with the surrounding thieves more calmly." No matter what the idea of the two eunuchs, Wang Pu, Yang Jinchao, and Lu Jiude, the commander-in-chief, was fighting, and for what purpose, as long as they came to Henan, the state capital on the border between Henan and Shanxi, whether they wanted to or not, they could not turn a blind eye to the rebellious army. ”

"Father, I understand, no matter whether Wang Pu's 6,000 troops are stationed in the city defense, or whether it is to encircle and suppress the rebel army, we can all pull out and concentrate more on encircling and suppressing the rebels, no longer like before, we can only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, where is the danger, where is the rescue?"

Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but interject, his face was full of excitement, and the dissatisfaction and complaints had faded a lot.
