Chapter 156: Make a Counter-Trick!
After Chen Mohan left the palace, he was always worried about whether Lin Yiqiu would have an accident in the palace.
When he heard that the Praetorian Guards in the palace seemed to be searching for something, he was even ready to bring people directly into the palace to help Lin Yiqiu escape.
Fortunately, his subordinates reported that Li Xiaohua wanted to search the mansion of the division, but was scared back by Lin Yiqiu, and Chen Mohan relieved his heart.
Lin Yiqiu also smiled at this time: "Lord Chen, it's a coincidence, when I was helping in Jingde Palace yesterday, that Li Xiaohua suddenly appeared, and I almost found out at that time." ”
"But then he was directly reprimanded by Concubine Shu, so he didn't recognize me directly."
Hearing this, Chen Mohan was not surprised.
"Although Concubine Shu has fallen out of favor, her majesty is still there, and for a pampered and arrogant person like Li Xiaohua, she naturally dislikes it in her heart."
"Moreover, her relationship with the queen mother is also very bad, and it is said that her fall from grace is related to the queen mother."
"Queen? Queen Pei? ”
Lin Yiqiu thought to himself in his heart.
He was hesitant to tell Chen Mohan about Empress Pei cuckolding Emperor Wu.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I finally chose to press it down first.
After all, this thing is Emperor Wu's family affair, and it is inconvenient for him as an outsider to take care of it.
Besides, it's about the emperor's face!
If he really told Chen Mohan, Chen Mohan would go to tell Emperor Wu again.
Who can guarantee that Emperor Wu will not be annoyed and angry and give Chen Mohan to death on the spot?
They are all men, Lin Yiqiu still understands this.
Especially in Emperor Wu's current situation, he attaches more importance to self-esteem!
"By the way, what is the countermeasure of Lord Lin to what the emperor said?"
Chen Mohan expressed his intentions.
The emperor wants to use Lin Yiqiu to overthrow the national abbot Pei Tianlin, and as the commander of the town government department, the emperor's people naturally want to assist Lin Yiqiu.
Hearing this, Lin Yiqiu smiled even more.
"It just so happens that I have something to ask you today, before I can bring down Pei Tianlin, I need to know enough about this guy's strength!"
"If Lord Lin doesn't understand anything, even if you ask me, you must know everything and say everything!"
Chen Mohan said sincerely.
Lin Yiqiu nodded.
"In addition to controlling the town government division and the forbidden army, how many forces does this Pei Tianlin control? Is it only in the capital? ”
"Lord Lin doesn't know, although this town government division and the forbidden army are Pei Tianlin's right-hand man, but what he is most afraid of is the control of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!"
"Five Cities Terracotta Division?"
Lin Yiqiu's face was puzzled.
Chen Mohan nodded and said, "Yes, the Five Cities Terracotta Division is the command office of the soldiers and horses in the southeast, northwest, and northwest!" Among them, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers! Responsible for the defense and control around the capital! ”
"Pei Tianlin relies on the forbidden army to threaten the emperor in the palace, and he has the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division as an assistant outside the palace!"
"So although he is the ruler of the country, his power is like that of a general!"
If he only mastered the forbidden army or the town government department, in fact, Emperor Wu would not be afraid of this Pei Tianlin.
After all, although the forbidden army was very close, they didn't dare to do it at will!
Besides, with Chen Mohan's Foreign Fu Division to contain him, the latter also brought people into the palace from time to time to protect Emperor Zhou Zhouquan, which was not a big problem.
Only these five cities are one of the most elite soldiers in the Wu Kingdom, Pei Tianlin has mastered them, and he is basically invincible in military and political affairs!
And because of this, the other ministers could only choose to bow to Pei Tianlin!
After all, if Pei Tianlin really goes crazy one day, he mobilizes the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to kill in the city!
Then they, literati, don't know how to die even if they die!
And Chen Mohan is also the most afraid of this!
But after Lin Yiqiu listened, he didn't feel that it was too tricky.
"In that case, is there a way to divide these five cities into the Terracotta Division? Cut off his most threatening hand! ”
Lin Yiqiu took the initiative to propose.
After Chen Mohan listened, he was stunned.
"Dividing the connection between the Five Cities Terracotta Division and Pei Tianlin, this... I'm afraid that's unlikely, right? ”
"Pei Tianlin cares about this army very much, and has installed a lot of his own cronies in it!"
"What's impossible? Although I have just come to Wuguo, I still know some information about Wuguo. ”
Lin Yiqiu is full of confidence.
"How did I hear that these five cities don't have a nominal leader now?"
"I didn't expect Lord Lin to even know this, it's really surprising."
Chen Mohan exclaimed, and then nodded.
"That's right, because of the previous reform, the Five Cities Terracotta Division has not yet appointed a commander."
"But in this matter, Pei Tianlin has already proposed a candidate to His Majesty, and the person who is ready to appoint is Zhao Bingzhong!"
"Zhao Bingzhong?"
Lin Yiqiu's face was curious.
Chen Mohan knew Zhao Bingzhong very well, and immediately explained: "This person was originally a guard next to the Queen Mother, and his martial arts are extremely high, so it can be said that he is not under Xiao Ceyun, the head of the town government department!" ”
"But then the Queen Mother died, this Zhao Bingzhong lost his support, and Pei Tianlin saw the opportunity to pull him into his camp!"
"Speaking of which, Lord Lin, Zhao Bingzhong may be a candidate to fight for!"
Chen Mohan's eyes suddenly glowed!
Lin Yiqiu's eyebrows moved slightly.
"How?"
"Lord Lin, although this Zhao Bingzhong took refuge in Pei Tianlin, because of the conflict between the Queen Mother and Queen Pei, the relationship between Zhao Bingzhong and Queen Pei is not good!"
"And under Queen Pei's blowing, Pei Tianlin values Zhao Bingzhong's ability very well, but unfortunately, he has been hesitant to reuse him."
Chen Mohan said, and the corners of his mouth also suddenly curled.
"And this time to appoint Zhao Bingzhong as the leader of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Pei Tianlin really has no suitable candidate, so he can only choose him! It can be said that Zhao Bingzhong and him are not so close! ”
"It's kind of interesting."
Lin Yiqiu laughed.
"Looks like this guy can really fight for it."
Chen Mohan said again: "And there is another reason why Pei Tianlin wants him to serve as the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. ”
"What is it?"
"Because Zhao Bingzhong is a person from Huaixi, and many of the deputy generals in the Five Cities Terracotta Division are also nobles from Huaixi! and Zhao Bingzhong are even fellow villagers! ”
In fact, this is the most important reason!
Huaixi Xungui has a perverse temper and is difficult to discipline!
And Zhao Bingzhong, as a fellow villager, can get along with them.
Therefore, if Zhao Bingzhong is appointed, he will definitely be able to make the soldiers and horses of the five cities guard themselves and firmly control them in their own hands.
This is Pei Tianlin's perfect idea!
But Lin Yiqiu had a countermeasure from this information in an instant.
"Hehe, it looks like I've got to come up with a trick!"
He sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Counter-plotting?"
Chen Mohan doesn't know what it means? Is it to separate Zhao Bingzhong and Pei Tianlin?
"What does Lord Lin mean that we want to prevent Zhao Bingzhong from becoming the leader of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?"
"Yes, exactly."
Lin Yiqiu nodded.
"But that's unlikely, isn't it?"
Chen Mohan said with a sad face.
