Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Cai Xiao, who was full of calmness, as if he was saying something ordinary. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tang Ling smiled indifferently and said lightly: "The news released by the Ningnan Imperial Court will inevitably be exaggerated, how can you believe it all? Cai Aiqing is too worried. ”
Cai Xiao was clever and thoughtful, and his obedient style was wrong, so he immediately turned around. He bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has taught you very much, and Weichen has been taught." ”
After a pause, he said: "The national crisis is at the head, the treasury is empty, although there is the gold and silver looted by our soldiers in Ningnan to fill it, I am afraid that the treasury is still insufficient, we are on top of the temple, we should solve problems for Your Majesty, and do our best for the country and the people." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a minister immediately responded. "Yes, yes, what Lord Cai said is very true, we should donate to the treasury. ”
"Even if the family is bankrupt, it should fill the void in the treasury. ”
Ministers, you say a word, I say a word, it can be described as a scramble.
Cai Xiao did not advocate donation in the early morning, nor did he advocate donation in the evening, but at the juncture when the Zhenjun army wanted to transport the gold and silver back to Shangjing, he advocated donation, which largely offset the merits of the Zhenjun army.
The reason for this is that you can rob the Zhenjun army, but we can donate, you robbed the gold and silver, it is for the national merit, we donated gold and silver, but also for the national merit, since everyone has made meritorious service, then, why does Your Majesty want to reward you?
Hearing that the ministers responded to the donation, the happiest person was Tang Ling, she nodded again and again with a smile, and said with a smile: "I am deeply pleased that you Aiqing can share my worries so much. If there is nothing to discuss again, let's disperse today. ”
In today's early dynasty, Shangguan Xiu really saw the deep-rooted power of Cai Xiao in the DPRK, which can be described as a hundred responses, and Cai Xiao himself is not simple.
It's really not easy to fight Cai Xiao. If Tang Ling could be on his side, then things would be much easier.
But will Tang Ling be on Shangguan Xiu's side? Of course not.
The Imperial Study.
Tang Ling sat behind the dragon book case, and Han Ye stood in front of him. Tang Ling is in a good mood today, his personal affairs are going well, and his state affairs are also going well, his little face is smiling, cheerful, bright, and radiant.
Han Ye knew what she was happy about, and when he saw her happy, his heart was also clear.
She was the first to ask, "Ye, what do you think of today's early dynasty?"
"Very good. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"In all things in the world, there is yin and yang, there is positive and negative, and there is black and white. Above the court, it is no exception, there must be loyalty, there must be treachery, all are indispensable, the water is clear, there is no fish, if there is only loyalty and no treachery, loyalty will eventually become treacherous, if there is only treachery and no loyalty, the country will eventually be broken. The prosperity of the past dynasties has been formed because of the opposition between the two factions of loyalty and treachery, and the two factions have checked and balanced, restrained each other, and complemented each other, which is the way to control people and the art of the emperor. Han Ye bowed and said.
"Haha!" Tang Ling couldn't help but laugh on his back and said, "The one who knows my heart is none other than you." After a while, she restrained her laughter and asked, "Ye, who do you think is loyal and who is traitorous in the current court?"
"It doesn't matter. The human heart is the most unpredictable, loyalty and treachery are only in a thought, today's loyalty may be tomorrow's treachery, and today's treachery may also be tomorrow's loyalty, Your Majesty only needs to make a corresponding reconciliation between the two. Han Ye said with a smile.
"What Ye Zhi said is very much in line with my intentions. While speaking, Tang Ling stood up, glanced at Han Ye expectantly, and said, "Accompany me to the Imperial Garden." ”
"Yes! ”
Tang Ling walked in front, and Han Ye followed behind. She asked casually, "When Shangguan Xiu was assassinated, why did the assassins know all about his whereabouts?"
"This ...... There must be something inside that is detailed. Han Ye replied.
Tang Ling glanced back at him dissatisfiedly and said, "You should know that this is not what I want to hear. ”
Han Ye pondered for a while and said, "The genus of the Duke of Zhenguo is unlikely to have fine work, and General Nie's department is more likely to have fine work. ”
Tang Ling smiled and asked, "Ye, you are so sure, isn't the problem with your Tongtian Gate, and how much do you know about your subordinates?"
"This ......," she said really stopped Han Ye. He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "My understanding of the disciples of Tongtianmen is indeed not deep, but I think it is unlikely that there will be traitors among them. ”
Tang Ling shrugged, his expression was cold, and his eyes were gloomy and said: "Those who want Shangguan Xiu to die, not only the people of Ningnan, there may not be traitors in Tongtianmen, but it doesn't mean that they won't collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China, after you go back, you should also pay more attention." My people, I didn't let him die, and no one was allowed to touch him. Don't think that if I stay in the palace all day, can't see or hear, I'm deaf and blind. ”
Han Ye's body was shocked, and Ling Ling shivered, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes! After Wei Chen goes back, he will definitely investigate this matter carefully." ”
A companion is like a tiger, and Han Ye is no exception, not to mention Tang Ling, who has changed his face like turning a book, he may have been smiling at you just now, but in an instant, he may have stabbed you in the chest with a sword.
Cai Fu.
Inside the lobby.
Cai Xiao sat in the center and drank tea slowly. Pan Qi stood aside, his brows furrowed, his eyes wandering, and he said worriedly: "My lord, now Shangguan Xiu wants to personally go to the Ninth Army to investigate the assassin case, what is it...... How's that good?"
"What are you afraid of? Isn't Xu Qing dead? There is no proof of death, what can Shangguan Xiu find?" Cai Xiao put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table and glared at Pan Qi coldly.
"But...... But there is always a mistake in the hundreds, and the end will be ...... The last general is uneasy, for fear of omission......"
"If something really goes wrong, even if it is this official, it will not be able to protect you, assassinating the prince of the country is equivalent to killing the king, and the nine clans are connected. General Pan, this official reminds you that the place where you should be now should not be the official residence of this officer, but the Ninth Army, and dispose of all the relevant people secretly, and wipe all relevant traces clean. ”
"Yes, yes, the last general...... The end will understand. Pan Qi promised, but the person stood still and didn't move, he said hesitantly: "Can ...... But Shangguan Xiu has always been cunning and cunning, and he will ...... The last general thought that he should take advantage of his investigation in the Ninth Army to ...... again ...... again," he raised his hand and made a cross-cutting gesture.
Seeing this, Cai Xiao's brows immediately furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "If Zhenguo Gong has an accident in your Ninth Army, do you think you can get rid of it?" This official warns you, don't act rashly, Xu Qing is dead, the biggest clue in this case has been broken, even if Shangguan Xiu has great ability, he can't find your head, if you break a big thing because of your lack of calmness, don't say that Your Majesty will not let you go, and this official will never spare you." ”
Pan Qi shuddered, drooped his head, and responded, "Yes, yes, Lord Cai." ”
"You go back quickly, try to run to Cai's Mansion as little as possible in the future, and pay attention to avoid suspicion. This official still says the same thing, as long as you are careful enough to deal with everything that should be dealt with, even if Shangguan Xiu turns the Ninth Army upside down, he can't help you. ”
"Yes, Lord Cai, hearing you say this, the last general's heart is much more stable, then...... Then the general will be retired first. ”
"Go ahead. ”
After Pan Qi left, Cai Xiao raised his hand, and a middle-aged man with a rich figure bowed down, stepped forward, and arched his hand and said, "What does the master command?"
"Cai Ba, let the people in the face, they all stared at Pan Qi, he was too impetuous, too calm, I was worried, he would do bad things. ”
"Understood, sir. Cai Ba nodded and walked out quickly. Cai Ba's name, Cai Zhong, is the head of Cai Mansion and Cai Xiao's confidant.
Don't look at him as just a servant in Cai's mansion, but because he has won Cai Xiao's trust and respect, even if the officials in the court see him, they will give three points of courtesy and call the eighth master.
Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu, after the dispersal of the dynasty, as soon as he walked out of the main hall, he heard someone behind him call him: "Ah Xiu...... No, Zhen Guogong. ”
Shangguan Xiu looked back and saw that the person who caught up was Nie Zhen. Nie Zhen walked up to Shangguan Xiu and walked side by side with him. "It's a pity that the Second Army and the Seventh Army are stationed at the border now, otherwise, if the eldest brother and Ah Bao are here, we won't be alone. ”
"It's cold in the north now, isn't it?"
"Yes! Looking at the reply from the eldest brother, it has been several heavy snowfalls. ”
"I don't know how Brother Zi's body is now. "Shangguan Xiu is not worried about Jiang Leopard, he is strong in spiritual martial arts, it doesn't matter if he is cold or hot, Zi Yiling is different, he is not a spiritual cultivator, he is in a cold place, and he doesn't know if he can survive it.
Nie Zhen said: "Besa's troops on the border have been withdrawn, and it is estimated that it will not be long before my country's troops on the border will also withdraw to the capital." ”
"Hmm. ”
As they spoke, the two walked out of the palace. Outside, the Shadow Banner personnel and the gendarmerie who were responsible for protecting Shangguan Xiu's safety immediately rushed forward and put watch around them.
The Shadow Banner personnel wore black robes, black belts around their waists, swords on their ribs, and large swords on their backs. The gendarmerie wore a black two-section uniform, with a ribbed saber and a firearm on their shoulders.
Seeing such a big battle, the ministers who walked out of the palace together were stunned, and muttered in their hearts, Shangguan Xiu can really put on a score, and now he is not a prince of the country, so he dresses himself up like a relative of the emperor.
The hearts of the people sneered, but they didn't dare to show the slightest expression on their faces, and they still said goodbye to Shangguanxiu with a smile on their faces.
Shangguan Xiu didn't care what they thought in their hearts, if they could also be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold by the Ningnan Imperial Court, and assassinated once every two days on average, it was estimated that the battle would be even bigger than their own. Shangguan Xiu and Nie Zhen were in the same car, and when the carriage was moving, Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Ah Zhen, if you have anything to say, you can say it now." ”
Nie Zhen was stunned for a moment, he even doubted whether Shangguan Xiu would be an unpredictable prophet, and he didn't say anything, he actually saw that something was wrong with him. He shook his head and smiled, and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, I'll take you to meet two people." ”
