Chapter 49: Debate and Guilt (6)
After hearing this, Yan Liang hurriedly replied: "How can we change the holy judgment of His Majesty at will?" What is the difference between your so-called adaptation to local conditions and resistance to the will! ”
Lu Fangxuan saw that Qi Zhi was about to refute, so he secretly grabbed him and said calmly: "Squire, although there is something inappropriate in this statement, Lu feels that it is time to think about it. ”
"What to consider? Okay, you can do it yourself, when the time comes, if you don't obey the order, you will be punished with a big crime, and the two of you can afford it! Yan Liang didn't care about any feelings, tore his face, and competed with the two of them.
Qi Shi was furious, and was about to draw his sword and scold, but first heard Lu Fangxuan say coldly: "Yan Shilang, the policy has not yet been decided, you and I are just in this room, discussing a few words, we can't use the emperor to press us, right?" ”
Yan Liang was dumbfounded.
"The emperor said to move, we have to move, this is beyond reproach; But in such a hasty move of the people, and without the establishment of documents, there will be natural riots in the city, and it is difficult to ensure that the imperial court will be anxious. Lu Fangxuan looked at his disapproving appearance, and a sneer flashed on his face, "What I'm most worried about is not this, but the ruin of the reputation of the imperial court and the unwarranted responsibility of the saint." Therefore, as ministers, we must do everything well and don't let down the emperor. Yan Shilang, you shouldn't think about it first, but don't ask Your Majesty to take this black cauldron. You have been in the imperial court for so many years, you will not be unaware. ”
Yan's conscience was in shock, who knew that Lu Fangxuan actually rebelled against the army and put himself in a disadvantageous position.
The words were all uttered, and he was forced by the pressure of the Lu Party to advance at all levels, and it was an expedient measure not to offend the Yue Mansion. He paused, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "Duke Lu is reasonable, we have to think about Your Majesty." I don't know what to do? ”
"If you want the people to be quiet, you need to help them make a title deed and move out solemnly; Don't teach people to catch the handle, spread the wind in the streets and alleys, and make the relocated people feel unsure. ”
"Duke Lu, there are more than 30 relatives of the death criminals...... Make a title deed in full, not to mention the trouble, the time is slow, what is this? Yan Shilang felt incredible and shook his head.
"Oh, then according to your meaning, you have to do it perfunctorily, the black cauldron is your Majesty's back anyway." Qi Shi lowered his head and muttered softly.
"How am I ......?"
"Qi Commander speaks, don't worry too much about it," Lu Fangxuan pushed Qi Shi aside again, "But everything has to be reasonable, and there is no basis for what you say, I hope the waiter understands." ”
"Whatever you want." Yan Liang collapsed in his chair at this time, and he had no strength to refute anymore.
"You...... Do you have anything else to tell us? Lu Fangxuan saw that he was impatient, and he had the intention of retiring.
Yan Liang couldn't wait to beat the two out immediately, and got up in a hurry: "It's gone, it's gone." You two are leaving? I'll send someone to deliver it. ”
"Don't bother, the two of us will leave today and come back tomorrow." After that, Lu Fangxuan hurriedly went with Qi Zhi.
'This bastard...... ' Yan Liang slapped the table and cursed at the two backs.
Yan Liang sent a letter to Liu Zhennian in time, and said all the above facts again, Zhennian got the letter, thinking that the matter was critical, and urgently summoned Yan Liang back to the house to discuss major matters.
Gui Fu was in the garden, facing Yan Liang, and walked towards Liu Zhennian.
"Before I left, why did I pick up two other recitals?" Yan Liang asked as he walked quickly.
"I'm afraid that the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the party, so I ...... all of them."
"Oops!" Yan Liang patted his head with a 'snap', "The whereabouts of the imperial court and my strategy, aren't they all under his eyes!" The captain is very wrong! ”
Gui Fu was ashamed and nodded silently.
Saying that, the two of them had arrived in front of the house and went in to worship Liu Zhennian, and Liu Zhennian asked Yan Liang for advice. Yan Liang said: "Because of the eunuchs' struggle for merit, resulting in mistakes, to this day, I have nothing to do. If the Wan Party really helps the land and attacks from both sides, then the people in Donkey Skin Lane will be in turmoil. With a little guidance, if the crime is blamed on the public, Nanjing will not be subdued, and we will lose face. If the thieves are bent on internal friction and specialize in the Lu Party, the general will be able to survive this encounter without incident. ”
Liu Zhennian gritted his teeth unwillingly: "You really can't help this military advisor?" Your plan is worse than that dead eunuch...... He ordered Lu Yingshan to tell Shen Jing to discipline his minions. ”
"General, Wei Chong has entered the mansion." The soldier outside the door pushed open the door and knelt behind the threshold.
Liu Zhennian turned his head instantly, looked at Yan Liang's expectant gaze, and pinched his fingers: "Success or failure depends on the sky......
Wei Chong cautiously walked towards Wan Heshun's residence. But he saw that the windows were closed in the house, and the lights were not turned on all sides, and a straight passage led to the inner room. Looking to both sides, there seemed to be more than a dozen pairs of eyes hidden in the dark and empty space; Look closely, there are some people, the henchmen of the king of Wanjun, sitting cross-legged on the mat, motionless, with cunning and ruthlessness in their eyes, like an owl standing in the dark.
"Fortunately, fortunately." Wei Chong humbly bowed down and made a gesture one by one.
In an instant, Wan He obediently walked out of the back room, sat down in front of all the henchmen, and then smiled kindly, patted Wei Chong and said, "Wei Shuban, it's time to continue to do it." ”
Wei Chong took out a roster and replied with a smile: "Adults need it, and small ones can do it." ”
"Give the silver first." He beckoned, and a henchman threw a piece of silverware to Wei Chong, who hurriedly held it with his hand.
"The silver has to be carried in a box, and it is not easy to take it out. This thing is enough to sell for thirty or fifty taels. Wan Heshun looked at him.
But Wei Chong's eyes were all on the silverware, and he accepted it with joy.
"What is there to say about the Lu Party?" Wan He Shun returned to the topic.
"I know that there is a person in Yuefu, this gentleman specially organizes banquets for Qi Consulting, often quotes famous chefs in Nanjing, and buys wine, meat, melons and fruits, which costs almost tens of thousands of dollars a month," Wei Chong slowly opened the roster, "He saw that he was working in Yuefu, and all this money was given to him by Qi Consulting." ”
"Qi Zhi is good at holding a banquet, it is very luxurious, the official knows it, but he is worried and has no way to start. If he entrusts another person, he can take the opportunity to exonerate the crime. Wan Heshun thought deeply.
"What's this person's name?"
"Yue Fu Counselor Chen Tong."
"Good!" Wan Heshun clapped his hands and said, "Wei Shuban has made a great contribution. Today, I will send someone to investigate this move, so that Chen Tong and Ma Si will end up, and the old thief will lose face! ”
"Report!!"
When Liu Zhennian heard this, his hands trembled slightly, and the tea bowl fell to the ground and shattered. He didn't have time to pick it up, so he went outside the door and pulled the clothes of the soldier who came to report: "Wei Chong left?" ”
"No," the soldier panicked and defended, "it was Lu Siban who told Chief Shen, and Chief Shen immediately went to Donkey Alley to bring people back, and beat thirty boards, ready to give the emperor death, so I will inform you......"
When Liu Zhennian heard this, he was greatly disappointed and threw him away irritably.
