Chapter 134: Powerful Minister Deng Ji

When Liu Yishou came to the old man's house again, it was already the morning of the next day.

The old man warmly welcomed him into the house, and told him that Zhu Botong and Zhu Yeming had come together, and brought someone to see the old woman, and even promised to cure her illness, but there was a requirement that he bring a pennant to thank him.

Speaking of this, the old man laughed and said that this was the way it should be, and they were too concerned about this.

Looking at the several exquisite gift boxes piled up in the corner, Liu Yishou's heart also relaxed, since Zhu Botong was here, he didn't need to worry too much about the rest.

And through this incident, Liu Yishou re-acquainted himself with Zhu Botong: although he was a little arrogant and didn't seem to have a bright head, he actually had brains and understood the truth of wisdom and foolishness.

He's been acting like a gentleman, and there must be a reason for that.

What the reason is, Liu Yishou doesn't know for the time being, and he doesn't want to care, now the focus of his life should be back to business.

Resource ......

Liu Yishou rubbed his head, now his troubles have not changed, he is still short of money.

When I returned to Changping Street, I went to look for Lao Bao'er, but I found that there was no one, according to Lao Li next to him, after Lao Bao'er came back yesterday, he took away the stall and has not come back until now.

Xu is preparing to open a store, although Liu Yishou thinks so, but he is always a little uneasy in his heart, he begins to regret his impulse, why give the key to the old bag first, let him be ready to come to him?

But even if he was in a hurry, there was nothing he could do, he didn't even know where Lao Bao'er lived.

In this way, he walked around the front of the shop for a while, and began to wander along the street with a sullen heart.

After a short walk, it was noon, but his stomach was growling.

Following the fragrance, he came to a restaurant, looked up, and saw a tall door, above the lintel, hung with a plaque of hot stamping, on which the book 'Qingyu Building'.

Without much thought, he turned and entered the shop.

After ordering two or three dishes, Liu Yishou chose a corner where no one was there and sat and waited for the dishes to be served.

"Hey, do you know that the little emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty has died, and now he is discussing the establishment of a new emperor. ”

As soon as he heard the words 'Southern Han', Liu Yishou suddenly cheered up and looked at the two people sitting on the table next to him.

The voice was spoken by a man with a short beard who looked to be in his forties.

"Yes," the other asked, "I heard that the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty has only been on the throne for less than two years, and he is only fourteen years old, so how can he die in a good manner?"

"I heard that he was poisoned. The short-bearded man whispered.

"What? Who has the audacity to poison the emperor to death!"

"Be quiet!"

The man suddenly raised his voice, and several diners around him looked at them with a curious look.

After looking around, the short-bearded man continued: "I heard that it was the general Deng Ji who did it." ”

"Why did he do such a rebellious thing," the other person widened his eyes, lowered his voice, and said righteously, "Killing the lord is a big taboo, is he crazy? Who gave him the guts?"

"Hehe, I don't know," the short-bearded man smiled mysteriously, "This Deng Ji is now the actual person in power of the Deng family, and behind this Deng family is the current Empress Dowager Deng of the Southern Han Dynasty." ”

"Empress Dowager Deng!?" the other person gasped, "Could it be that this Deng family wants to rebel?"

Hearing this, Liu Yishou also frowned, Empress Dowager Deng knew that it was the queen who was filial to the emperor in the previous dynasty.

In these years, because he has been hiding in Tibet, he doesn't know much about the affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is also far away from the Southern Han Dynasty, and there is very little news about it, so this is a rare opportunity.

"It's hard to say, but since the rise of the Deng family," the short-bearded man continued, "it has been three generations, nearly a hundred years, around the government. ”

"Above the Southern Han Dynasty, there were four forces: eunuchs, relatives, families, and scholars. He stretched out his left hand, snapped his fingers, and continued, "This Deng family was originally one of the families, and later Empress Deng ascended the throne, so she became a relative of the royal family because of her situation. ”

After becoming a relative, it didn't take long for this Deng Ji to grasp the power of the Deng family, and the Empress Dowager Deng was his sister, so he gradually became a pivotal figure in the court. ”

"People, with power, the more unbridled and greedy, especially the ten-year-old Emperor Xiaochong of the current dynasty ascended the throne, which is monstrous, and he sent troops to Luo Pa for a small reason, killed the emperor of the family, and set up a puppet, so that Luo Pa will not have ......a good life from now on."

Speaking of this, Liu Yishou tightened his brows, and his eyes suddenly became cold, like a well in the cold winter moon, straight to the cold, and a little spiritual power hovered around him, but he was immediately pressed down.

After taking a quiet sip of tea, he continued to listen.

The short-bearded man took a sip of soup and continued: "This Southern Han Dynasty is not as simple as you think, although his Deng family is the only one, but if he really wants to rebel, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in less than three days." ”

"This may not be, doesn't it mean that Deng Ji is a general?

"Yes, there is, but most of them are military powers from other places, and the guards in the capital are not vegetarians, just the North and South Forbidden Army, the Royal Forest Army, and the Cavalry Guard...... Add a piece of nearly 20,000 people, as long as something happens, they will close the city gate, no matter how powerful the Deng family is, won't they be shut down and beaten by dogs?"

"Isn't it enough to capture these soldiers?"

"Is it that simple?" the short-bearded man smiled, "The upper echelons of the Northern and Southern Forbidden Army are almost all from several major families, and the golden-clothed captain of the Imperial Forest Army is a member of the royal family. What's more, the major families still have government soldiers....."

"Then how dare he poison the little emperor to death?"

"It is said to be disobedient. ”

"It's that simple, it's crazy, isn't it?"

"Don't worry," the short-bearded man leaned back in his chair, "you can listen, but I'm not talking about it for nothing....."

Then he looked at the meal in front of him, and leisurely pulled out a toothpick to pick his teeth.

"You're a horse, I'll say you're invited to become Lao Tzu again!" the other waved his hand, "That's it, it's time to listen to the book." ”

"Hehe," the short-bearded man leaned in and whispered, "This has to be started a while ago. ”

"In other words, although the little emperor is young, he is smart. ”

That day, when the court went up, the little emperor sat down, and this Deng Ji slowly put on his shoes, burped into the hall, and did not salute, but shook in front of the ministers. ”

"The little emperor couldn't be angry, so he slapped his chair and stood up and said--'You General Deng is so arrogant!'"

"Oh, does this little emperor really say that?" the other person listened attentively and couldn't help but applaud the table.

"Isn't that right? Deng Ji was so frightened at that time that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to make amends. ”

"Good!"

"What's good? This Deng Ji thought that the little emperor had arranged a knife and axe hand to kill him in the court. The short-bearded man pursed his lips, "This Deng Ji went down to the court and immediately hid at home." But the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, so he sent someone to poison the little emperor's soup and poisoned the little emperor to death. ”。

"Oh, that's a pity. The other sighed, "This little emperor may be a master in the future." ”

"What's the pity," the short-bearded man snorted coldly, "Then the Southern Han is strong, our side is weak, I still wish their emperors were all short-lived!"
