Chapter 484: Conspiracy
readx;?
When the ministers gathered in Cai's mansion, some ministers proposed that it would be most beneficial for them to let Shangguanxiu stay in Ningnan forever and never return to China. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Cai Xiao sat in the center of the hall, Qiu Yi and Song Sheng sat on the left and right, facing two rows, all of them were the confidants and ministers of the three of them, including civil officials and military generals.
When these ministers get together, it's like a small court.
Chancellor of Finance Gan Lin looked left and right, and said slowly: "It is said that Shangguan Xiu has always had the intention of welcoming back King Yu, if he didn't lead the army to Ningnan this time, I'm afraid, now King Yu has been taken back to Shangjing by him, right?"
Another minister said worriedly: "Back then, we were all on His Majesty's side, once King Yu returned to Beijing, I am afraid that all the adults present will not have a good life." ”
"Therefore, without Shangguanxiu, King Yu will not have the capital to return to Beijing, and we can all sit back and relax. ”
"However, now Shangguan Xiu has won a series of battles in Shah, completely annihilating the two corps in Ningnan, and the morale is flourishing, and in a short period of time, there is no possibility of defeat for the Zhenjun army. ”
Cai Xiao cleared his throat, the old god was there, and said slowly: "The victory of the Zhenjun army is a good thing, and it is also beneficial to the country and the people, how can you still hope for the defeat of the Zhenjun army?"
The minister who had just spoken shrunk his neck and did not dare to say more. Gan Lin frowned and said: "I said, my lord, if the Zhenjun army is not defeated, do you really hope that Shangguan Xiu will lead the army to return triumphantly? "Black ししし Pavilion
As he spoke, he looked at Song Sheng again and said, "The Inner History Mansion is not better, I remember that when Shangguan Xiu was in Beijing, he had a lot of festivals with Lord Song, right?"
Song Sheng's face was ugly, he snorted heavily, and said, "I don't know how to lift dog things." ”
"Therefore, we can't let Shangguan Xiu return to China, at least not let him return to China alive. ”
Cai Xiao smiled, picked up the wine glass, and asked slowly, "Lord Gan, tell me, why can't Shangguan Xiu return to China alive?"
"What's the most important thing to fight?"
"Of course, there are more soldiers. One of the generals didn't think about it and blurted out.
"No, it's the supply that matters. Once the supply is cut off, the soldiers at the front will have no intention of fighting, and once their morale collapses, how can the battle be fought?"
Song Sheng frowned and said: "That's right, but the trouble is that the supply of the Zhenjun army does not only come from the imperial court, even if the imperial court cuts off the food and salary of the Zhenjun army, the food and salary of the Zhenjun army can still come out of the Zhenjun side, and in a short time, it will not be affected too much." ”
Qiu Yi, who had been silent, took a sip of wine and sneered: "What does Lord Gan mean, now, taking advantage of the fact that Shangguan Xiu and the Zhenjun Army are not there, we will take his lair, take Zhenjun, and take the Zhenjun Army's nest, and in the future, the Zhenjun Army will let us knead it, if we want it to live, it will live, if we want it to die, it will die, Lord Gan, am I right?"
"Oh, the one who knows me is none other than Lord Qiu!" Gan Lin bowed his hand and bowed his body.
If you want to say that you are scheming, you have to be Qiu Yi, who is inconspicuous, he told how to break the Zhenjun army, and then eliminated himself completely, because he was just talking to Gan Lin. These ministers, the aristocratic gatekeepers, are more calculating than the other.
Cai Xiao snorted and laughed, and said: "Your Majesty has always had the intention of taking Zhen County, and we are the pillars of the country, and we should solve problems for Your Majesty. ”
"Lord Cai sees it clearly!"
The next morning. Gan Lin bore the brunt of the attack and took the lead in proposing that the county guards and county lieutenants of Zhen County should be reappointed.
His reason is very sufficient, the current county guard and county lieutenant of Zhenjun are all concurrently served by Shangguan Xiu, and Shangguan Xiu is already a rear general, busy with military affairs, and now he has an expedition to Ningnan, and he has no time to govern Zhenjun, so he should be relieved of his duties as county guard and county lieutenant.
Tang Ling did not express his position immediately, and carefully asked the opinions of the other ministers, Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, Song Sheng and other ministers agreed that what Gan Lin said was reasonable, and he should choose another virtuous person to serve as the county guard and county lieutenant of Zhen County, first, he could better govern Zhen County, and secondly, he was reducing the burden on the town and the country, so that the future Guogong Palace would not have to work so hard.
What a high-sounding reason, no one can find anything wrong. Tang Ling didn't think much about it and approved it immediately. The new Zhenjun county guard is Gu Qing, who is recommended by Cai Xiao, and the new Zhenjun county lieutenant is Luo Yang, who is recommended by Song Sheng.
In addition, the general Wu Peng proposed to send the Ninth Army to Zhenjun, first, there are many 'bandits' in Zhenjun, and the Ninth Army can escort Gu Qing and Luo Yang all the way to Zhenjun, and second, the Ninth Army is in Zhenjun, and can also meet the Zhenjun army in case of emergency.
As for the military deployment, Tang Ling is a layman, listening to Wu Peng's meaning, the main thing is to let the Ninth Army go to Zhenjun to meet the Zhenjun army and ensure the logistics supply of the Zhenjun army, she did not object, and also approved.
The two items put forward by Gan Lin and Wu Peng seem to have sufficient reasons, but the actual one is to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and take advantage of Shangguan Xiu's leadership of the Zhenjun army to fight abroad, to take over Zhenjun, who has always been firmly grasped by Shangguan Xiu, and cut off Shangguan Xiu's foundation.
This is a vicious plan. The court is such a place where people kill people without seeing blood, and in just a few words, they can decide the life and death of a person, or even a legion or a group army.
The Royal Palace, the Sleeping Palace.
Today, Tang Ling is in a good mood and is painting in the dormitory. Standing beside him was the commander of the Lieutenant's Mansion, Hua Ning.
"I heard," Tang Ling stood in front of the easel, holding a pen to paint, and asked, "You joined that Shura Hall of Shangguan Xiu's office?"
In front of Tang Ling, Hua Ning didn't dare to be half false. She lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty......!
"Are you guilty?" Tang Ling turned his head and glanced at her with a smile, her appearance was overwhelming, and her smile was also so beautiful, but looking at Hua Ning's eyes, cold sweat flowed out instantly.
Her body was shocked, and she hurriedly knelt on her knees and said, "Wechen didn't inform Your Majesty in advance, it's Wechen's fault!"
"Get up and speak, and I don't blame you. Tang Ling's gaze fell back on the painting scroll, she painted a landscape painting, not soft, each stroke is strong and powerful, revealing a heroic atmosphere.
She said slowly: "Shangguan Xiuhui is the future prince of the country, you, loyal to me, should also be loyal to him, and there is nothing wrong with taking refuge in the banner of Shura Hall." ”
Hearing this, Hua Ning's heart fell slightly when she mentioned her throat. She said, "Your Majesty is not to blame. As she spoke, she was just about to stand up, Tang Ling's eyes flashed, and she said unhurriedly: "It's just,"
Hua Ning's body was just about to stand up, but she immediately knelt back on the ground, lowered her head, and didn't dare to breathe. "It's just that you also have to know in your heart, who is the most important, who is the light, who is the master, who is the subordinate, if you can't even distinguish this, if you don't get it right, you will end up," she turned her head, blinked her eyes, and said softly with a smile: "There is a place to sleep, and there is no life to get up." I am a goddess, and if anyone bores me, even if it is the king of heaven, Lao Tzufan, will not be able to protect her. Got it?"
"Wechen...... Wechen understood. Hua Ning knelt on the ground, her body trembling. For a long time, she had an inexplicable fear of her little master, which was like this in the Eldest Princess's Mansion before, and now, it is still like this.
"Also, don't bother with other external thoughts. Tang Ling smiled and reminded kindly.
"Wechen don't dare! Wechen don't dare!"
Tang Ling glanced at her deeply and waved his hand casually. Hua Ning bowed forward and said respectfully: "Weichen retreats." As she spoke, she stood up, bowed, and stepped backwards. She had to leave the dormitory before she turned to leave.
She didn't walk far before she ran into Han Ye. In the past, Hua Ning ran into him and could chat with him for a few words, but today she really doesn't have this mind. She just said hello and hurried away.
It seems that the flower girl was frightened by His Majesty today! Han Ye looked at Hua Ning's back, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He walked into the dormitory, bowed his hand, and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!"
Tang Ling didn't look at him, just beckoned to him and asked him to come close and speak. When Han Ye stepped forward, she smiled and asked, "What do you think of this painting?"
"Majestic, a master's work!" Han Ye looked at it carefully for a while and praised it sincerely.
Hearing this, Tang Ling chuckled, glanced at him expectantly, and said, "You still know how to speak." After a pause, she changed her words and asked, "Recently, is there any news from the imperial sister?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has not found out about the county lord. ”
"Could it be that the imperial sister really died in the rebel camp?" The smile on Tang Ling's face disappeared, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, holding a paintbrush and slowly sketching on the scroll.
"This, Wei Chen did not dare to make a judgment. "Whether Tang Wanyun is dead or not, Han Ye really can't decide, it stands to reason that there has been no news of her for so long, it should be like the rebels said, she died in the breakout.
But the county lord of Qingyun and King De are all extremely smart people, especially Tang Ling announced the news that she was going to marry Shangguan Xiu, would the two of them not guess that this breakthrough was actually Tang Ling's intention to frame Tang Wanyun?
Even if Tang Wanyun is not dead, she and King De should understand that His Majesty will not be able to keep her no matter what, and it is not impossible for King De to secretly hide Tang Wanyun, or she herself to hide.
Han Ye glanced at Tang Ling cautiously, frowned and said, "Weichen recently heard that not long after the county lord broke through, the Dewang Mansion of Sichuan County changed a group of guards. ”
"Oh, why did you change it?"
"The reason is unknown, and Weichen doesn't know. ”
"What about the guards who were replaced?"
"Missing. ”
"All?"
"Yes. ”
"It's really interesting. Tang Ling narrowed his eyes and said leisurely: "This imperial uncle of mine is scheming and calculating, but he is not an idle person. ”
"Your Majesty thinks that this matter has something to do with the county lord?"
"I asked you to investigate this matter, why are you still asking me about it now?" Tang Ling looked at him puzzled.
Han Ye shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say more. Don't look at Tang Ling's expressionless face, but whether she is happy or angry, he can tell at a glance.
