Chapter 861: Can be crowned a king
Respectfully greeted Beicheng Bingxin's mother, and walked around the mansion with him, Leng Zhuo got out.
"I heard that you said a lot of bad things about me in the recital you gave to the emperor!" In the main hall of a backyard in Beicheng Mansion, Leng Zhuo looked at Beicheng Mingyue with unkind eyes, last year, Beicheng Mingyue had an identity as a chaplain, Leng Zhuo couldn't help but give face to the court, and now Beicheng Mingyue is going to eat under his own hands, Leng Zhuo is naturally not afraid of this guy.
Beicheng Mingyue took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "This mansion is not bad, it seems that Bingxin is very attentive! Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I can pick up the seniority, I am also your second uncle, as for the recital for the little emperor, I have considered it, don't take what you say, be domineering, how can he be jealous of you, he has already sent someone to make you a soldier and horse!"
"Hmph!" Leng Zhuo was as white as the bright moon in Beicheng, and only if you believe in you can you have a ghost.
"You are so well-informed, then you must have also received the news that Wei Guogong is going south!" Beicheng Mingyue is obviously confident, although many strategists under Leng Zhuo's command are not inferior to him in wisdom, but the trend of the situation in the imperial capital cannot be compared with Beicheng Mingyue.
Leng Zhuo nodded, Beicheng Mingyue put down the teacup in his hand, and pretended to be mysterious: "Then do you know what kind of will Wei Guogong will convey to you when he goes south this time?"
"I don't know, you know?" Leng Zhuo sneered.
Beicheng Mingyue chuckled lightly and said, "I really said it, I really know!"
"You just blow it, the resolution to appoint Wei Guogong to go south is the emperor's direct will, and it has not passed the court, and it is impossible for Wei Guogong to leak this secret, how can you know!"
"Can't I guess!" Beicheng Mingyue looked at Leng Zhuo with a smile and said, "You don't believe it, why don't we make a bet!"
"Bet?"
"You see, my mansion is big enough, but it's still a little bit of a garden. There is also a lot of furniture missing, even if there is. The color is not very good, if I am unfortunate enough to say a serious word, I will not ask for much, you will find me dozens of Yangzhou gardeners. I'm getting some precious plants, stones, etc., to get me a garden, and by the way, how about getting some good furniture!"
"Good furniture? What counts as good furniture?"
"No matter how you say it, you have to have a thousand years of red sandalwood, golden maple. Dragon's blood, Huali or something!" Beicheng Mingyue didn't think about it, so she spoke.
Leng Zhuo almost vomited blood directly, these things, each of them is the best wood, wood for thousands of years, worth 10,000 gold, not to mention these top wood, the furniture created is even more valuable. Even if it is a family of a big family, there may not be a few sets, but this guy dares to speak.
"Hmph. I'm still waiting for Grandpa Wei to come, and I will reveal it!"
"Are you sure, you have known about this matter and prepared early, if Wei Guogong arrives, it will be late, and you will have no choice at that time, but if you are sure you don't want to know. That's no way, I'll go to Bingxin and ask!This girl is the closest to my second uncle!" Beicheng Mingyue didn't stop her, and said to herself.
Leng Zhuo looked at Beicheng Mingyue, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose, girl, when she met such a shameless person, she wanted money to die, and she just ate her own guy, and she seemed to have no better choice than to be the wronged boss.
Although Leng Zhuo had the heart to turn around and leave, if this matter was really that serious, he would undoubtedly have known that he had some countermeasures: "Okay, I agreed, now I can talk about it!"
"Hehe, I know that a person with great ambitions and a big mind like Hou Ye will definitely agree!" Beicheng Mingyue had a successful smile on his face, and then said leisurely: "Why do you think the new emperor would send Wei Guogong south, instead of sending Zhen Guogong, Dingguo Gong, or other ministers of the court?"
Leng Zhuo stared at Beicheng Mingyue fiercely, and said very unhappily: "Don't go around in circles, just say it!"
"Speaking of which, you should really be grateful to me, I praised your strength in the concerto, so the new emperor also has to worry about whether Chuzhou will also put up a counter-flag if he attacks you, you see, sending Wei Guogong to the south is to take a fancy to the in-law relationship between you and Wei Guogong, so even if the emperor has any decisions, you have to continue!"
"And the patriotic prince has a lot of influence in the army, and when he is sent by Qin, those generals under your command will definitely hesitate, especially the two or three hundred thousand forbidden troops you accepted!"
"Your exchange with the Tang Army is good, but there is only one weakness, that is, these forbidden troops have always been the elite of the empire, the army of the royal family, although the previous events broke the hearts of these people, but these people have accepted all kinds of indoctrination from the empire since they joined the army, and how many of these people are students of Wei Guogong, or have served under Wei Guogong, do you think you can compare to Wei Guogong's influence?"
Leng Zhuo couldn't help frowning, to be honest, he really hadn't thought of this, he had to admit that he had ignored this, the forbidden prisoners of war who were incorporated into the army were like a bomb, and the new emperor's hand could be said to have hit his vital point.
Beicheng Mingyue looked at Leng Zhuo's tightly knit brows, but she smiled and continued: "You don't have to be like this, the probability of directly seizing your military power is very small, you are so young, vigorous and impulsive, but you will not look ahead and backward, and doing so will only make Chuzhou fall into opposition and division again, and it will not be beneficial to the new dynasty of Yunzhou!"
"Oh, then what do you think the new emperor will do to me, to Chuzhou!" Leng Zhuo looked at Beicheng Mingyue and said.
"Well, it's not a novel trick, it's nothing more than a promise of promotion, or even a title, and putting a lot of names on you, you take it, that is, the new courtier, if you don't accept it, you won't refuse if you want to, after all, you still have to wear tiger skin, and these names are quite helpful to you, even if it is beneficial and disadvantageous!"
"Promise to be promoted? Heh, so the emperor is planning to correct his name!"
"It should be, but you are now a soldier with real power, so you can't highlight the emperor's favor, I don't think it's impossible to be handsome, perhaps, it's not impossible to make you a prince?"
When Leng Zhuo heard this, he laughed and said, "Let's talk about it, Wangjue, the empire is not even adding the level of the national duke, and the marquis is already at the end, Wangjue, that is only possible for the royal family!"
Beicheng Mingyue looked very calm, and looked at Leng Zhuo with a trace of pity in her eyes, and finally arrived: "It seems that you don't know yet, it's really not okay to reward you as the prince of the country, but if you are crowned king, there is no such obstacle, I want to know why, I should know if I ask for your grandfather, maybe you will be very surprised when you hear it!"
Leng Zhuo was stunned, although the guy Beicheng Mingyue was a little cunning, but what he said was not casually said, is there any secret in this, Leng Zhuo is not a fool, although he doesn't know the specific reason, but if he can be crowned king, then he must have royal blood, and the Leng family traces back to the past, it seems that Leng Zhuo's grandmother who has never seen it is so possible!
"Okay, this is just speculation, but I have given you so many benefits, I won't put a halter on it, let you jump around casually, and finally raise a tiger for trouble, so if I promise you benefits, I will naturally ask you to do something!"
Leng Zhuo turned his head, raised his head and looked at Beicheng Mingyue and said, "Is he going to let me attack Prince Qing in Yangzhou!"
"Hehe, it seems that you are quite smart, Prince Qing occupies the south of Qingzhou, the north of Yangzhou, and directly separates the south of the empire from the north, and the south is rich, it is the empire's money and grain jar, if you want to pacify Kyushu, you have to take back Chu Yang, and once this passage is opened, the empire will be able to control Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and your Chuzhou, and even Shuzhou in the southwest, in this way, this game of chess will be solved!"
Leng Zhuo shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, if you want to clean up the mountains and rivers of Kyushu again, how can it be so easy!"
"But at least there is hope, isn't it, and don't forget, although Wei Guogong is your in-law, if you have to choose, Wei Guogong will choose the empire, not you, the grandson-in-law, because the three princes and the empire are one, and with Wei Guogong sitting in Chuzhou, can you turn the sky?"
Leng Zhuo was suddenly speechless when asked, yes, if Wei Guo Gongwei Guang was in Chuzhou, Leng Zhuo would really not be able to play, unless he completely tore his face, but this is possible, obviously impossible, many times in this world it is not just by relying on strong soldiers to be able to crisscross the Tao, and reason is the most fatal.
It's like Leng Zhuo wants to fight Shuzhou, he has to find a reason, reasonable, or even high-sounding reason, and it is impossible to have no, and directly lead the troops to kill him, and at the beginning, for the sake of a name, he didn't hold back, in the final analysis, it was still the morality and truth engraved in people's hearts.
Leng Zhuo left the Beicheng Mansion, returned to the Soldiers and Horses Envoy Mansion, came to the Participating Politics Mansion, and told the information he got from Beicheng Mingyue, and everyone present was silent, because the new imperial envoy's tricks were too clever, and there was no solution to this problem at all, maybe there was a solution, that is, Leng Zhuo raised the flag to rebel, and he was not in respect of the imperial order.
But obviously, Leng Zhuo can't do that yet, once he does that, the million-strong army under his command will collapse first, not to mention the more than 400,000 prisoners of war who have just integrated into the army, and how many of the people who are still interested in the empire among the several major legions under his command, and how many will really be willing to rebel against Leng Zhuo.
Leng Zhuo's foundation is still too shallow!
"If this is the case, then we can only drag it as much as possible, simply occupy Yangzhou, force Prince Qing to the south of Qingzhou, and then drag it out without fighting, drag it for two or three years, the foundation of the Hou Ye is stable, and the room for maneuver is naturally much larger!"
Kong Mingchen said.
"Perhaps, the young master should ask about the king, if the young master can be the king, then there may be other turning points in the matter!" Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and said. (To be continued)
