Chapter 106: Sycophancy
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the soldiers are fast, why don't you take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Marquis at this time to capture him?" Baili Ji raised his head and looked at Zhao Xu with shining eyes.
Seventeen or eighteen years old, his eyebrows are picturesque, like a sparkling jewel.
Zhao Xu sighed secretly, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
This kid has both aggressiveness and courage, and is a good seedling. The fly in the ointment is that if you are too young, some things will inevitably be ill-thought-out.
It is true that the soldiers are fast, but Liu Weifeng has worked hard for more than ten years, and before he can escort Jiang Kai back to Kyoto, he rashly took him down, which is too hasty and difficult to convince the public. If you don't take it, what if Liu Weifeng receives the wind in a few days, and the branches are regenerated?
What a dilemma!
Ironically, it was himself who put Zhao Xu in a dilemma. I think back then, it was he who allowed Liu Weifeng's faction to grow stronger and stronger, so as to balance Yang Xiang, and then use Yang Xiang to restrain Shao Tong's faction.
And Wei Baohu is a good card to beat Liu Weifeng. As long as Liu Weifeng is a little overstepped, Zhao Xu will move Wei Baohu out and try everything. Liu Weifeng is not greedy for silver money in the northwest for a day or two, and Zhao Xu also turns a blind eye, as long as he doesn't make a big incident, he will be greedy if he wants to be greedy for some small money.
If it weren't for the imminent matter of finding the eldest prince, Zhao Xu would not have used greedy ink to rectify Liu Weifeng. It is said that Liu Weifeng sold the grange and borrowed some expensive profits, barely making up the shortfall.
As soon as the greed for ink subsided, Jiang Kai's conspiracy was revealed. That Jiang Kai has always been obedient to Liu Weifeng's words. Therefore, Jiang Kai is plotting rebellion, and Liu Weifeng must have a share!
Since Liu Weifeng has the money to rebel, will he sell the grange to borrow expensive profits?
Hmph, Liu Weifeng, this old fox has become a sperm after taking off his hair! What else could he not do?
Zhao Xu pursed the corners of his lips and hummed heavily, "I think about it again, there is one more urgent matter, the position of Liangzhou Assassin must be decided as soon as possible, or no one will clean up this mess in the northwest." ”
Looking at it now, Liangzhou is calm, and when all the dust settles, it is difficult to ensure that those officials, big and small, will not be confused and will not look for trouble. Take advantage of the fact that they don't have a lot of time in their hearts, and bluff them, and it will be easy to do in the future.
Who is up to the task? Zhao Xu's index finger curled up and gently tapped the dragon book case.
The Ning family are all literati, the Wei family is a military general, and Yang Xiang is already in a high position, so add a history of assassination to his family? Not good! Not good!
When he was in a dilemma, he heard Baili Ji say loudly: "Your Highness, Weichen thinks that among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only one person can do it. ”
Zhao Xu was interested when he heard it, and leaned forward, "Who?" ”
The young man's lips and teeth touched, and he whispered two words, "Liao Qi." ”
"Liao Qi?" Zhao Xu frowned, why did he mention him in a good manner?
"Your Majesty, because Liao Qi and Xuhou had a holiday, that's why they ......"
Before Bailiji finished speaking, Zhao Xu's face was gloomy and terrifying. When Tian Zhen saw him looking like this, he knew that this was a precursor to anger. Whether it is for Bailiji or Liu Weifeng, Tian Zhen is not sure. Turning his head and signaling Baili Ji with his eyes not to say any more, it would be bad to set himself on fire.
Baili Ji turned a blind eye and said loudly: "Therefore, Liu Weifeng vowed to drive Liao Qi out of Kyoto. And he did.
Hearing this, a cloud of anger rose fiercely in Zhao Xu's chest, instantly burning to his eyes.
Liu Weifeng deserves death!
Zhao Xu had seen Liao Qi several times in the late prince's mansion. Liao Qi is upright and arrogant, but he admires Zhao Chang very much, and he is willing to serve left and right without complaints. Zhao Xu left a little impression on him because of this.
After Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he felt Liao Qi
After all, they will not be loyal to him. But at that time, when the imperial court was employing people, if all the talents related to Zhao Chang could not be appointed, then there would be almost no one available. Therefore, Zhao Xu ordered him to be a secretary from Wupin. If there is no accident, Liao Qi, the secretary, has no possibility of promotion until he dies.
A game of chess changed Liao Qi's life.
Zhao Xu went to Changchun Palace that day, and it happened that Liu Weifeng was also there. So he played chess with Liu Weifeng to relieve his boredom. Liu Yuan said seemingly unintentionally on the side that Xie An had won the battle of Weishui because of a game of chess. At that time, Liu Weifeng was quite interested, and asked if there was a chess game, Liu Yuan jokingly said, "Call Liao Qi and ask, you will know that he will never forget it." ”
Zhao Xu also wanted to see this chess game that implied the art of war, so he passed Liao Qi to Changchun Palace. After Liao Qilai came, Liu Weifeng took the lead in provoking the conversation, and during the Q&A, Liao Qi seemed to have a grudge against Liu Weifeng. Liu Weifeng was very angry, even in front of Zhao Xu, he didn't hide much.
Liao Qi is neither humble nor arrogant, standing as tall as a pine. When Zhao Xu looked at Liao Qi like that, he remembered Zhao Chang. At the moment, I don't know where the evil fire came from, and he felt uncomfortable, so he sent Liao Qi to Yongnian County to be a small county magistrate on the spot.
Although the county order is small, it has real power. Zhao Xu made a wrong decision because of his momentary anger, and he was depressed for several days.
Not only Zhao Xu, but Liu Weifeng was even more unwilling. Two days later, he came to Zhao Xu again and mentioned Liao Qi. This time, Zhao Xu calmed down, didn't want to be angry with Liao Qi anymore, and casually comforted Liu Weifeng for a few words, and didn't delve into it.
It turned out that Liu Weifeng used the imperial power in Zhao Xu's hands to vent his private anger? ! Baili Ji didn't say anything, Zhao Xu had been in the dark.
Liu Weifeng not only plotted rebellion, but also toyed with him to applaud.
Not only does the sin deserve death, he should be cut with a thousand cuts!
Zhao Xu clenched his fists and slammed the table. Now he wants to know what Liao Qi has done, offended Liu Weifeng, and asked Liu Weifeng to plot to this situation, "You tell me carefully, how did Liao Qi offend Liu Weifeng?" ”
Baili Jilang said: "Liao Qi lost his words after drinking, saying that Xuhou has no virtue and no talent, and Liao Qi's words came to Xuhou's ears that night!" ”
Night?
Zhao Xu smashed the dragon book case with a punch. Can Liu Weifeng cover the sky with one hand in Kyoto? This group of ministers who eat inside and out, do they still have him as the emperor in their eyes? !
"What an arrogant willow fang!" Zhao Xu's muscles jumped violently, and he didn't choose to speak.
Tian Zhen was worried about Zhao Xu's body, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him smooth his heart, "Everyone, don't be angry, for that kind of person, it's not worth it to be angry!" ”
"Not moving? The fangs are all riding up my neck! Liu Fangnu intends to rebel, Zhao Xin is a broken sleeve! Their Liu family simply doesn't know what to say! He was probably so confused that he didn't recognize Zhao Xin directly.
Tian Zhen drooped her eyelids, and said yes. At this juncture, it's better to talk less!
After a long time, Zhao Xu's mood gradually eased.
Tian Zhen saw the opportunity and whispered: "If everyone can really appoint Liao Qi, the people will definitely praise everyone for appointing people on the basis of merit [1]. ”
Zhao Xu smiled at the corner of his lips, raised his eyebrows and looked at Tian Zhen, "Oh? Do you also know meritocracy? ”
"Everyone, you forget, Xiao Tian used to be a scholar, and he told me allusions when he was idle, so the slave knows a little more."
Oda? Zhao Xu's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, "Xiao Tian and Liao Qi are still classmates, right?" ”
Tian Zhen bowed and said, "Exactly." Xiao Tian said that when he was in the academy before, the master asserted that Liao Qi was upright, so he had no official luck, and persuaded Liao Qi to simply be a master. Everyone, why is there no official luck when you are upright? The slave is stupid and can't even figure it out if she wants to break her head! ”
The more Baili Ji listened, the more he admired Tian Zhen. No wonder he was able to gain face in front of His Majesty. Just pretending to be crazy and stupid, no one can match the kung fu of slapping sycophants.
