"Lord Li, who are you?"

Seeing that Li Kui didn't move, Tong Guan was anxious, he was a eunuch, and he instinctively wanted to do his best for the things sent by the emperor. It is a great sin to be slow to put incense on the case.

But Li Kui thought more, looked up and asked Tong Guan: "Who is here?" ”

"The deputy capital knows Ma Baowu, and the Zhongshu Sheren asks for seals." Tong Guan saw that Li Kui was still sitting on the mat with the old god there, and thought that Li Kui had noticed the change, and his heart couldn't help but beat a drum: "Master Li, what's wrong?" ”

Tong Guan is not concerned about Li Kui, but worried about his future.

Seeing that Li Kui was silent, Tong Guan leaned in, approached Li Kui and asked in a low voice, "Master Li, won't it be?" ”

"What is it?"

"Bird Bow Hidden ......"

Li Kui saw that the tip of Tong Guan's nervous nose was covered with sweat, and laughed: "You think too much." The Zhongshu Sheren is a subordinate of the Dushitang, which should represent the court, and Ma Baowu is a eunuch sent by the inner province to represent His Majesty. Do you think this combination will be the number of ways to cook a lackey? I just wonder why Doshido would want to intervene. It's still a Zhongshu Sheren, this person's status in the capital hall is not bad, he should be Zhang Xiang's henchman, and the Cai brothers should also be the same raccoon dog, I'm afraid that you will make Cai Jing's case a real one, and this person will be in the same boat. ”

"Our family is doing our best for Your Majesty, as for the affairs of the court, what does it have to do with our family?" Tong Guan was not fooled, he did feel that Suofeng's appearance would be detrimental to him. But at most, it is a conflict on the face. Want a face, can you gain the trust of the emperor? Want face, can he command thousands of troops and achieve immortal feats?

Don't think about it, in the big dye vat of the harem, the one who came out alive is the master of the face? Tong Guan is a eunuch, his wealth has to rely on the emperor, and if he wants to rely on Zhang Dian, he doesn't have to think about it.

After Li Kui packed up the official documents on the bookcase, he instructed Tong Guan: "Wait and see what happens." ”

"We can save it!"

Tong Guan naturally knew the Tao in it, Li Kui saw it, and he probably saw it.

There were different opinions between the Metropolitan Hall and the emperor, and I am afraid that Li Kui's idea of promoting Tusi in the land of Hehuang and governing the border with soil is debatable. But merit is merit, and advice is advice, and it cannot be said in the same day. Also, there was no Privy Council in the angels' ranks, which made Tong Guan very suspicious of An Tao's ability.

When you bully him, it's like a tiger going down the mountain, but in the face of Zhang Dian, you are always strong!

Hahaha......

Ann Tao! You also have today.

Tong Guan's guess was right, An Tao and Li Qingchen, the two of them did not spray Zhang Dian in the court. Zhang Dun's previous defeat was because he was careless, and he was caught off guard by Li Qingchen.

But this time, Zhang Dian had enough time to prepare, and he temporarily condensed the strength of the Fa Reform Faction, and he didn't have any temper at all when he bullied Li Qingchen and An Tao in the court.

Different from the ruffians and scoundrels on the street quarrels, the arguments in the court still have to be reasonable, reasonable, advantageous, and modest.

And the Privy Council lost in using a set of systems that had never been used in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the Biansai Tusi system, which was very similar to the system in which the Great Song Dynasty gave the leaders of the Biansai barbarians to make their posts, which seemed to have no superiority, and was full of loopholes in Zhang's view. Zhang Dian decided that this was a bad government. Grab this and squirt. Although An Tao is a supporter, he is not a specific executor, Li Kui is the executor, and An Tao wants to rely on Li Kui's official letter to express the superiority of this policy, which is also difficult for a strong man.

As for the reason, it is very simple, Qingtang is a barbarian land, disobeying the king, setting up states and counties, and completely changing the aliens is the royal road.

Li Kui also sensed that something was wrong, even if the angel had not entered Qingtang City and had not yet read the holy decree, he also sensed that there might be twists and turns in the implementation of the Tusi system.

Otherwise, he is just a person who reads the decree.

It's not enough to let the people of the middle school go out. Ma Baowu, an introspective eunuch, is enough.

The emperor's envoy may be a small eunuch in an ordinary palace, an official in the court, or even a high-ranking official in the Hanlin Academy.

Recovering Qingtang and reopening the Xihe River was the top priority for the imperial court for the Great Song Dynasty. Ordinary eunuchs will definitely not be competent, and even the Privy Council will be killed, which is related to the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty.

And Li Kui, I am afraid that at this time, he has been regarded as the son of national fortune by the Great Song Dynasty.

But according to the urine nature of the Great Song Dynasty, after Li Kui conquered Qingtang City, he wanted to continue to be an official in Qingtang and be a feudal official of Yiyantang, and there was basically no hope for such good things. His promotion was already a foregone conclusion, and soon after the arrival of the Chin Cha in Qingtang, it was time for him to leave Qingtang.

said that he didn't care, Li Kui must have some emotions.

Today's land of rivers has not achieved the results that Li Kui envisioned. The Qiang people in Huangzhou have not all surrendered, and the Qiang people have a detached personality and rebel at every turn. In particular, Li Kui still did not know whether An Tao would be able to withstand the pressure and make the Dushitang and the emperor completely abandon their plans to establish a state and county in Hehuang.

Once the Great Song Dynasty is still staring at the land of Hehuang and wants to establish a state and county, the situation that has finally been defeated will still erode.

If the magnates of Qingtang did not have a hereditary position of Tusi, what was the difference between them and the merchants in the Qingtang area? With such a result, how could they have a sense of belonging to Da Song?

Standing on the city tower, Li Kui rejected Tong Guan's suggestion to go out of the city to meet Sanli.

From a distance, a black silk thread is slowly moving along the winding road on the grassland.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the proclamation procession approached less than five hundred meters from the city gate. At this time, Li Kui got up from the stool without hurry, prepared to go down to the city tower, and said to Tong Guan: "Go and greet it!" ”

Tong Guan opened his mouth, he didn't dare to deliberately provoke Li Kui. Especially when Li Kui was in power, any act of rushing against Li Kui was stupid to death. Although he really wanted to go out of the city to meet the messenger who announced the decree, Li Kui could only endure it if he didn't leave the city.

"Qin is here, retreat left and right!"

"Greetings to the Chincha!"

Qincha's guard of honor had already been beaten, but Li Kui didn't feel anything, he had seen a lot. However, the Qingtang magnates who followed him, as well as the great monks of the temple, all felt that the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty were extraordinary.

In the middle car, a white and chubby fat man held the wheel, and with the support of the guards, he stretched out his toes and touched the ground. The person who came had no beard on his face, and a smiling face, as if he was kind. But this is an illusion, the eunuch basically has no compassion, and he will not be a good person.

In the car that followed, a middle-aged civil official came down, with starry eyebrows and awe-inspiring righteousness, and after his eyes fell on Li Kui's body, he let out a cold snort.

Li Kui endured.

The holy decree was not read, and if Li Kui collided with Qincha, it would be a great rebellion.

And if the decree is read, hum, there is something nice about you.

Anyway, Li Kui decided that this guy was here to find fault, so he didn't need to be polite when the time came.

"Master Li, it's time to torture the old slave." While speaking, the eunuch Ma Baowu rushed to Li Kui with small steps, held Li Kui's strong arm and whispered: "Please also ask Lord Li to forgive me, the old slave is responsible." ”

The other party was too polite, so polite that Li Kui felt a sense of groveling. This is very wrong, and I can't help but look at Ma Baowu a few more times.

"The incense case has been laid out! Also ask the angels to move. ”

"Let's do His Majesty's business first."

After speaking, Ma Baowu walked to the incense case, unfolded the holy decree held high with one hand, and began to read it: "...... In the third year of Shaosheng, the Great Song Dynasty Fuze Xihe, Qinfeng Road, Anzhou Zhizhou Li Kui, and Deshun Army Zhijun Jianzhong, were ordered to exterminate the remnants of the sins. The soldiers went out of the heavenly capital, and the first war and the Lanzhou, the second war and the destruction of Qingtang, outstanding meritorious service, specially promoted Li Kui Tianzhang Pavilion service system, set off to return to the dynasty within a month. In the construction of the seed, he is the Xuancheng envoy and the head of Xihe Mansion, and the rest of the people are rewarded, so admire! ”

"Commandment!"

There was only one copy of the holy decree, Li Kui took a step forward and took the holy decree from the eunuch Ma Baowu, and then he didn't look at the scholar Suo Feng, and invited Ma Baowu: "Please also invite the eunuch Ma to go to the city to rest, and the eunuch Ma must come to the dinner in the city lord's mansion later." ”

Li Kui's move regarded Ma Baowu as the envoy of the Qin Mission, and as for the Zhongshu Sheren Suofeng, he just didn't see it.

Suo Feng's face turned blue with anger, and he rushed to Li Kui and pointed at Li Kui and said angrily: "Is there still dignity and humility? ”

Originally, Li Kui was a five-pin governor and a foreign minister. Beijing officials went out on business and saw the first level of officials. No matter how big Li Kui's official body is, he has to bow down. And the Zhongshu Sheren is a high-ranking official in the Jingtang of the fourth grade, and the right-hand man of the Prime Minister's Mansion is even more powerful. Li Kui's act of not taking him seriously immediately angered Suo Feng.

Li Kui glanced at Suo Feng, raised his hand and said perfunctorily: "I'm tired!" ”

This kind of way of meeting and greeting colleagues only exists, where is the appearance of foreign ministers like Li Kui when they see Zhongshushe?

The beard at the corner of Suo Feng's mouth trembled, and he was particularly agile in the wind, pointing at Li Kui and scolding: "How can a person who has no respect for his eyes be loyal and filial? ”

Li Kui replied unceremoniously: "Brother Suo, you and I are both officials of the Great Song Dynasty, you are a member of the Zhongshu House, and you are an official of Beijing." Could it be that I, the servant of Tianzhang Pavilion, am not a Beijing official, and the post of Tianzhang Pavilion is a little shorter when he sees the people in your Zhongshu Provincial Metropolitan Hall? Otherwise, in the future, my bachelors, straight bachelors, and waiters of Tianzhang Pavilion will have to give you incense after seeing you? What I know is that we have a large number of etiquette as officials, and those who don't know think that you are in charge of the Six Pavilions. ”

Li Kui was not only not frightened by Suofeng's momentum, but also didn't think it was a big deal to pull the people of the Sixth Pavilion Department and the Zhongshushe to death.

What is the Rokukobu?

Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, Xianmo Pavilion, Huiyou Pavilion, and Fuwen Pavilion, the chief officials are all bachelors. He is the most noble official in the Great Song Dynasty, and if Zhang Dian gets into trouble, he will have a headache.

Suo Feng stared at Li Kui with his eyes, if his eyes were murderous, Li Kui would have been surrounded by a Jedi. It's a pity that Li Kui doesn't take Suo Feng seriously at all.

The Zhongshu Sheren is a four-grade official, is it not a four-grade official if it is a waiter?

Look down on anyone, and dare not look down on the officials of the pavilion.

Especially Li Kui also planted a thunder for Suo Feng, Tianzhang Pavilion not only has a service system, but also a straight bachelor, a bachelor. These official positions are one level higher than those of the Zhongshu Sheren. The bachelors of the three grades, the straight bachelors from the three grades, are they all fake? The key is that the family is a third-grade official, wearing a purple official robe, and judging from the crimson official robe of a fourth-grade official. Suo Feng bullied Li Kui and was still Zhizhou, but people didn't recognize their identity as Zhizhou at all. The moment he received the holy decree, he was a member of Tianzhang Pavilion.

As for when he was an official in the imperial city, Li Kui instigated the emperor to demolish Tianzhang Pavilion, and there were enemies everywhere in Tianzhang Pavilion...... He had long forgotten about it.

Suo Feng's face was cloudy, and finally let him find a breakthrough, Li Kui was present, but what about Chong Jianzhong?

As if he had found Li Kui's handle, Suo Feng asked Li Kui in a loud voice: "Where did the cultivation and construction go, and where did the magnates of Qingtang go?" The number of people behind you, not quite right. Li Kui, this is the Great Song Dynasty, not a place for you to do anything wrong. ”

"The tribes of Qingtang are grateful for the grace of the Great Song Emperor, and they have asked to extinguish the Tubo Achai tribe around Qingtang City, and they have been on the expedition for more than a month, counting the days, they are almost coming back."

Li Kuiman didn't care about the way, his tone was arrogant, and he provoked Suofeng's bottom line.

Before coming to Qingtang, Zhang Dian personally instructed Suo Feng not to be tough on Li Kui, but to appease. But the scholars in the hall went to the Wupin Zhizhou, and Suo Feng couldn't do it. Moreover, Zhang's instructions not only did not play a positive role, but on the contrary, they played a very bad negative role. Suo Feng thinks that Li Kui is relying on his identity as the quasi-son-in-law of the master and the quasi-brother-in-law of the emperor, and does whatever he wants. had a bad impression of Li Kui, and when he saw that Li Kui didn't even come out of the city to greet Qincha, he was immediately enraged. He is a Shangguan, or a minister, Li Kui, do you dare to have no imperial power?

Therefore, the moment he got out of the car, Suo Feng didn't give Li Kui a good look.

But when he got to Li Kui, he found out that Li Kui seemed to be very energetic, and his dignified four-grade Zhongshu was ignored by Li Kui, the five-grade Zhizhou, Suo Feng had long forgotten Zhang Kui's instructions, and was furious and determined that Li Kui was disrespectful to him.

In particular, Li Kui kept saying that the tribal leaders of Qingtang were inspired by the imperial grace of the Great Song Dynasty to lead the army to exterminate the Tubo tribes on the border. What about this deceit? Li Kui is the emperor of the soil in Qingtang City, with an army of 30,000, and he will also break the city of Qingtang, if he says that he wants to fight the Achai tribe, who dares to refuse.

In particular, Li Kui started a war without authorization, which was very unfriendly to the Great Song Dynasty. Because the budget of the household department of the Great Song Dynasty this year has already bottomed out, but once the war starts, the Great Song Dynasty cannot stop. In Suo Feng's view, this kind of behavior is self-respect, and Li Kui already has a disobedience to the Great Song Dynasty.

Anyway, Suo Feng absolutely didn't believe that the Qingtang people took the initiative to attack the Achai tribe, not only did he not believe it, but he also exposed Li Kui's sinister intentions in person: "Li Kui, you used troops without authorization, disregarded the law of the country, and supported the army to respect yourself, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

"If the official didn't give the order, is it also a crime?" Li Kui sneered.

Suo Feng was angry and anxious, regardless of the occasion, and accused: "Li Kui, even if you have a clever mouth, can you still coax the world?" The land of Qingtang has been a gathering place for the Tubo people since 300 years ago, and there are few people who serve the king. The tribes here are unkind and shameless, putting profit first, after the Tang Dynasty, they first vassal my Great Song Dynasty, and then switched to Western Xia, do you think this official can't see your lies? This official wants to take away your position as the head of Qingtang, and replace the Metropolitan Hall to take care of you, a person who is not subservient. ”

In the face of Suo Feng's questioning and deterrence, Li Kui did not speak, but many Qingtang magnates behind him, especially the leaders of the Qingtang religious circles, the Grand Monk Luosang and the Grand Monk Gerile, stood up, rushed to Suo Cover, and said angrily: "I, the people of Qingtang, are grateful for the emperor's grace, is it wrong to open up the territory for the Great Song Dynasty?" What is the crime of my Qingtang people, why do the officials of the Great Song Dynasty treat my Qingtang people so slowly? We are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, why does this official treat my Qingtang people as ghosts and ghosts, don't we even deserve the heart of loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty? If you don't tell me why today, we will never agree! ”

"Never!"

"I'm going to the capital to sue the royal court!"

Suo Feng was dumbfounded, he had enough confidence in the face of Li Kui. After all, he represents the capital hall and is the prime minister's office. But in the face of two monks, the monk who was able to follow Li Kui to receive the Qincha was not an ordinary monk of the temple.

In particular, the two great monks held magic staff in their hands and rushed over violently, making Suo Feng, a weak scholar, suddenly feel like a great enemy, retreating again and again, exclaiming: "Who are you? ”

"Daye Temple presiding over Geril."

"Muen Monastery presiding over Lausanne."

Suo Feng was dumbfounded, this is the head of the religious community in the Qingtang area, who he questioned, and he couldn't question these monks. Looking at the crowd standing behind the monk, they are all well-dressed, but most of them are young and old, obviously the middle-aged people who are in the prime of life are not among them, is it really as Li Kui said, the magnates of Qingtang really opened up territory for the Great Song Dynasty?

But who would believe this when the big guy in the court said this?

It was not that the Great Song Dynasty did not control Qingtang City, but during the Shenzong period, although Wang Shao defeated Qingtang City, it was not long before the Great Song Dynasty lost control of Qingtang City.

Not only did the Great Song Dynasty want to station a large army in Qingtang and stabilize the states and counties after the opening of the Xihe River, but they did not even see at least 20,000 war horses per year as expected. It can be seen that the Tubo people in Qingtang surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, but they were not convinced and had different intentions. Rebel as soon as you get the chance. How can Li Kui do what he can, can he do what Wang Shao can't do?

Suo Feng shouted vigorously in his heart: "Qingtang City is full of people, how can it be that the Great Song Dynasty is in his heart?" To deceive people, it must be deceitful. ”
