Chapter 270: It's not too late to make amends
? It has been more than ten days since Cui Yanghao returned to Seoul, and he has stayed in the mansion most of the time, except for one time when he was summoned by King Li Cong, and he has not completely relaxed his 'spirit' spirit because of the war in the north.
Cui Yanghao's wife is the 'daughter' of Teng Mingxin, the judge of Licao, since he married Cui Yanghao, although he is not said to be respectful, but the two of them are living well, the strange thing is that when Cui Yanghao did not come back, this Teng is simply looking forward to the stars and the moon, and when Cui Yanghao goes home, this Teng is taking a pair of little sons and daughters with Cui Yanghao to return to his parents' house, and this time he went for a few days, without the slightest intention of coming back.
Cui Yanghao's people he brought back all live in their own backyards, although the Cui family is a big family, but this kind of old man is still there, and the brothers are not separated, and it is not very rare, the father and son live in a mansion, but each has its own yard, each has its own rules, and it is not strange.
The only thing that makes the people in the compound feel strange is that after these people plunged into Cui Yanghao's own courtyard, they were reluctant to come out again, and their daily diet was purchased by the original servants in the courtyard.
In this case, although people don't dare to chew their tongues 'messily', they will definitely have some ideas in their hearts, and even some bold ones even speculate whether their little young master is taking the opportunity of this debriefing to plan a battle and completely clean up the bandits in the north. These speculations spread unconsciously, and finally they were unanimously recognized by the Cui Mansion.
Until now, the halo on their little master's head is extremely dazzling, as a famous general of the Korean Kingdom, it is a legitimate thing to restrain his subordinates and strategize, with this understanding, unless necessary, all the people in Cui Mansion are as far away from Cui Yanghao's courtyard as possible, for fear of disturbing Cui Yanghao's plans.
After breakfast, Cui Tan didn't call someone to serve, and walked directly to the courtyard of his youngest son by himself, as the right council of the council, if a major event does not happen in the country and a court meeting is held, he does not need to go to the palace every morning to sit on duty, in fact, a lot of political affairs have been dealt with almost below, and those people below who can't make up their minds are also directly sent to the council, and then the left and right councillors on duty and the leader of the council discuss and determine, and finally the king will rule on the decision, and such a thing, Even ten days may not be able to meet for a while, so he has plenty of time in the morning.
He went to Cui Yanghao's side because he, who has always prided himself on being calm, was also disturbed by his son's abnormal behavior, and he naturally couldn't hear people's discussions and speculations, but he actually heard rumors about Cui Yanghao's plan from his concubine last night, which made him feel very wrong.
Cui Yanghao's summons in front of King Li Cong, he had been watching from the sidelines at that time, His Royal Highness the King, except for the war in the north, asked some specific information, he didn't remember what His Royal Highness gave Cui Yanghao and asked him to plan what actions. Although His Majesty the current King is benevolent and does not understand military affairs, he is definitely not a suspicious person, at least, he understands the reason that the king's orders are not subject to the generals. In addition to specifying a big combat goal for Cui Yanghao, with his wisdom, he will never interfere with the specific command of the army again.
Since His Royal Highness the King has no will, then, why has Cui Yanghao stayed in the mansion these days, and even some necessary entertainment has been pushed away, Cui Tan has been up and down for decades, what kind of things have not been seen, if it is someone else, he may have to analyze it well, but this person is his own son, so he doesn't want to 'waste' his brains, just move over and ask, is there anything his son will hide from him?
"Hao'er, you're having fun as a father!" Cui Tan sat in the chair, looked at Cui Yanghao, who was a little sluggish, and laughed: "Okay, I laughed, tell me the real reason for being a father, did you bring back a few beautiful concubines this time, and Teng's quarrel with you?" ”
"Dad, I'm not joking, I was really driven back from Pyongyang, not to mention Pyongyang, even Changyuan is now lost, although people are still our people, but they don't listen to the children's dispatch anymore!" Cui Yanghao smiled bitterly, he knew that to be honest, no one believed it.
"No kidding?"
"No kidding!"
The smile on Cui Tan's face disappeared, "Why is it that the people in Seoul don't know anything about such a big thing, and you don't even have a piece of music to send over?" ”
"Do I dare?" Cui Yanghao turned his head sideways, looked at the willow tree outside the window, and there were bursts of cicadas from the canopy, which made him feel even more impetuous: "These people, but the child recruited them at the beginning, even their habitat, it was also the support of the child and the father that let them get it, such a thing, once it is transmitted back to Seoul, if His Royal Highness wants to punish the crime, the first one to bear the burden is our Cui family!" ”
"You are confused, when they didn't become a climate, once they noticed that something was wrong, they should immediately solve this scourge, you must wait until the people are strong enough to eat you, do you know the intentions of the people?" Cui Tan was a little distressed, how could he not see with his eyes, a group of pirates who occupied the land of projectiles, from foothold to development, to the current scale, is not a matter of one or two days, and his precious son actually turned a blind eye and gave the other party a good opportunity to develop and grow.
"It's useless to say this now, you tell me carefully, what is their current situation, don't hide it, tell the truth, how much strength they have, what is their combat strength, if we raise troops to eliminate them, how many men and horses do we need to be sure?"
Cui Tan was indignant for a while, and the quality of being an old bird in the sea returned to him, but the question at this moment was a little bit like the conversation between father and son, and it was more like the inquiry of a high-ranking official in the court to a front-line general.
"There are more than 10,000 soldiers and countless muskets!" Cui Yanghao shook his head, "Tens of thousands of gold thieves and horses are also sinking in front of them, if it is with the combat strength of our army, I am afraid that it will be a nationwide army, and the victory or defeat is only five or five!" ”
He added: "Moreover, these thieves, after occupying the four cities, have found some officials of our country who serve them, like that Chi Changqing is the leader of them, with these people waving their flags and shouting, many soldiers and civilians who don't know right and wrong have turned to them, at this moment, compared to when they fought against the gold thieves, I am afraid that their strength has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot!" ”
"If you go to the army to fight, not everything needs to be solved by fighting, killing and killing, if all of them can be solved by fighting and killing, there will be no inheritance of our dynasty for hundreds of years!" Cui Tan groaned for a while, and he didn't know whether to say what he said in his heart, or to comfort Cui Yanghao.
"The child has always listened to his father's teachings, so I have been thinking about this problem all these days, but fortunately, the gods have blessed me with a great opportunity."
"Oh? What chances? Seeing that his son seems to have a way to deal with it, Cui Tan is also interested, and the problem that can't be solved by the soldiers of the whole country, can this opportunity be settled?
"I caught the 'female' of the thief!" Cui Yanghao's eyes lit up: "With this 'female' person, although I can't let the thief head be arrested, but in this matter, bargaining with him and reaching an agreement can still be done, no matter how bad it is, it can be exchanged for a city and a place, as long as I can make some contributions in this matter, even if the matter is 'exposed' in the future, my Cui family will be easy to pick it out, after all, we have long discovered the intentions of these thieves and fought with these thieves for it!" ”
"Nonsense! It's nonsense! Old Man Cui was angry: "Just now, you said how powerful these thieves are, and send those 'elite' people under them to go deep into the tiger's 'den', isn't this nonsense?"
"If things don't succeed, then this group of loyal and brave people will be sacrificed in vain, if it is a fluke, a 'woman' is an important person, since the thief leader is so ambitious, a 'woman' will not be taken into his eyes at all, except for 'provoking' the other party, you can't get any benefits at all."
"You don't know anything about this father!" Cui Yanghao obviously did his homework well: "Before this 'female' person became the concubine of this thief named Yu Feng, she was the general of this thief leader, if you use my dynasty system as an analogy, the relationship between that 'female' and the thief leader is like the relationship between our Hu Cao judgment and His Royal Highness the King, this 'female' person holds the thief's money bag!" ”
He 'licked' his slightly dry lips and continued: "If this 'woman' was still in Pyongyang, I would never have this idea, but I don't know what kind of madness this 'woman' had, she actually came to our Seoul, and lived in the inn with her with a big grin. ”
Cui Tan nodded slightly: "How do you know that she is here?" And not someone else with a similar face? ”
Cui Yanghao smiled: "This 'female' person, sometimes 'shrewd' is terrible, sometimes, but it is too stupid to imagine, when he took the servant to live in the hotel, he was still playing the signboard of the Velasco Business Group, it just so happened that the Langya Inn where she lived was the property of the eldest brother, and the people of our family, who didn't know the relationship between this Velasco Business Group and us, so, as soon as she reported the number here, someone immediately told me." ”
"Caught back?"
"Caught back, I sent someone to identify someone, this 'woman' often 'shows' her face, I sent to check who is staying in the Velasco business group, I was recognized by the person I sent, and I only started to determine her identity, right now, it's locked in the back house!"
"Take me to see it!"
