Chapter 51: We are willing to advance and retreat with Your Majesty
Speaking of tofu, he didn't understand one thing, wasn't it invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty?
He has been here for so long and has never seen it, is it possible that Shi Zai is wrong?
In order to keep it secret, the place of today's meeting was arranged in a remote wine house in Chengguo, and the whole wine house was chartered by him, and the guards were also sent by him to drink.
Shan Chao was also very cautious, disguised as an ordinary businessman, and came to the meeting.
"Slaves and maids greet Your Majesty."
As soon as they met, he paid a big salute, showing his determination to completely surrender to Liu Zhi.
"Hurry up, it's outside, don't be polite, you can just call me Liu Jun."
Having said that, Shan Chao still sat sideways respectfully.
"Thanks to Brother Shan's help this time, come, I'll toast you."
Liu Zhi raised the cup in his hand with a smile on his face, which surprised Shan Chao in his heart. He had no direct contact with Liu Zhi, but had only met him a few times from afar.
He looks like a good-natured teenager with outstanding looks, and the rest is unknown.
"Don't dare to be, slave ......"
As soon as he said this, he saw Liu Zhi's reproachful eyes, and quickly changed his words.
"I don't deserve Liu Jun's thanks."
As he spoke, he stood up and drank all the wine in his glass.
"Okay, come on, let's have a drink."
Zuo Yi and Zhang Rang also immediately raised the cups in their hands, smiling, "Please." ”
Liu Zhi covered his sleeves, drank the sake in the cup, looked around at the three people on the table, and was very happy in his heart.
In any case, he also developed three of his own manpower in the palace, although there are a few less, but the spark can start a prairie fire, and the number of people loyal to him in the future will inevitably increase.
"Brother Shan, I won't beat around the bush, the general is perverse, the sky is angry and people are resentful, I intend to eradicate it, but I don't have my own manpower, I don't know what Brother Shan has in mind?"
Shan Chao never expected Liu Zhi to be so direct, but it's okay, there is no need to hide it.
After thinking about it, he said: "In fact, there are many people inside and outside the court who hate the Liang thief, but they don't dare to speak out because of their obscenity.
If Your Majesty really has the determination to cut off this evil thief, he is not afraid that he will not find a like-minded helper. ”
Speaking of this, he looked up into his eyes, "It's just that I have a word, don't vomit or be unhappy, and look at Your Majesty...... Don't be surprised by Liu Jun. ”
Liu Zhi smiled, knowing that it was good to mention the conditions, which showed that he really wanted to follow him.
"Brother Shan, please speak."
Shan Chao took a deep breath, "If you want to cut off the Liang thief, it will inevitably be risky, once the matter is revealed, all who follow you will be guilty of killing your head and breaking your family."
If you don't have a strong will and give up halfway, it is better to keep the status quo. ”
These words were simply a big rebellion, Zuo Yi was so frightened that his face turned white, and he kept glancing at him, but Shan Chao was unmoved, and looked at him firmly.
Liu Zhi was in awe, Zuo Yi and Zhang Rang were unconditional obedience, and their loyalty was commendable, but they lacked some strategy and courage.
Shan Chao, on the other hand, has both, which is exactly the talent he urgently needs at present.
"Brother Shan's good question, you all think I have a way out, so once the situation is not good, I will not be strong-willed."
Liu Zhi sighed and spoke seriously.
"Presumably, you should have heard about Emperor Qian, but just scolded him to his face, and the Liang thief couldn't tolerate it. Do you think he can endure an emperor who plots to get rid of him behind his back? ”
When he said this, everyone was awe-inspired, and indeed, as an emperor, he took no less risk than them.
"So, please trust me in my determination to eradicate this fang. If you succeed, you will be rich and prosperous with you, and if you lose, you will go to Huangquan together. ”
Shan Chao couldn't help but be moved, although this little emperor was young, he had the momentum of Emperor Wu in his early years.
"We are willing to advance and retreat with Your Majesty, and we have no two hearts."
The three of them raised their hands at the same time and bowed down, showing their loyalty to him in a deep voice.
"Good!"
Liu Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Everyone, please get up, you will be your own people in the future, come, have a drink together." ”
The four of them raised their glasses and drank together, and everyone's hearts were full of surging fighting spirit.
"Liu Jun, I will recommend one more person to you, this person is like a brother and sister to me, and he also has hatred for Liang Thief. Tell me that if you can kill this thief in this life, you will have no regrets in death. ”
Hearing this, Liu Zhi's eyes couldn't help but shine, "Who is it?" Brother Single, please speak quickly. ”
To put it mildly, he's eager to be talented now.
"This person is Xu Huang, the middle servant."
"Xu Huang?"
Liu Zhi's eyes widened in disbelief, among the six middle attendants, Zhou Fu and Cao Teng were loyal to the Queen Mother, and there were two people left and right, but Liu Guang and Xu Huang were clearly on Liang Ji's side.
If Shan Chao recommended someone else, it would be understandable, but it was Xu Huang, a die-hard fan of Liang Ji, which is too unreliable.
"Brother Shan, seriously, it's not a joke, right?"
Zuo Yi, who has a close relationship with him, was the first to question it, Shan Chao is very popular in the palace, and he is close to everyone on the surface, and Xu Huang is naturally no exception.
But if the two of them are like brothers, he really didn't see it.
"Naturally, it's true, how dare I joke about such a life-and-death matter."
Shan Chao didn't think it was a pestle, and Zhengse said.
"Don't be impatient, since the single brother dares to recommend him, he has his own reasons, and listen to him patiently."
Liu Zhi seemed to be talking about Zuo Yi, but in fact, he was speaking to Shan Chao, tactfully showing his trust in him.
"Xu Huang's family was poor when he was young, and the three brothers begged for a living, and almost starved to death on the side of the road, but fortunately a rich businessman took pity on him, gave him some food and money, and later took in his two brothers."
Those who entered the palace as eunuchs at a young age have a bitter history, the children of good families, as long as they can barely survive, who can bear to send a good son to suffer such inhuman suffering.
Zuo Yi and Zhang Rang listened, and they both remembered their childhood, and their hearts couldn't help but feel heavy.
At that time, because he was suffering from a serious illness, he thought that he would definitely die, so he left alone, and later entered the palace by mistake.
In the past two years, he also sent people to find out the whereabouts of his two younger brothers and took them out of the family. ”
Shan Chao was drinking and talking eloquently.
"The rich merchant has always been very kind to his two younger brothers, not only has he never beaten or scolded them, but he also let them read and write and learn to do business."
Later, Liu Zhi had already vaguely guessed something, and sure enough, Shan Chao's next words confirmed his conjecture.
Who knew that Sun Shou coveted the property of a wealthy businessman, conspired with Liang Ji, pretended to give him a carriage and horse, and borrowed 50 million yuan.
The rich businessman knew that he was borrowing and robbing, but he was forced to take out 30 million money, but how did he know that Liang Ji wanted all his net worth, how could he look at this money. ”
At this time, Zuo Yi had already sighed: "I know who you are talking about, Fufeng giant Jia Shi Sun Fen, yes or no?" ”
It seems that this matter is very famous, Liu Zhi is crossed, naturally I don't know, Zhang Rang was just a small temple in a remote county before, and it is understandable that he doesn't know.
"It was the year before last, when it was a sensation, Liang Ji falsely accused Shi Sun Fen's mother of being a slave in his family's management of property, saying that she stole ten white beads and escaped with purple gold thousand catties.
This is pure nonsense, but the Fufeng government imprisoned the brothers Sun Fen, tortured them, and finally died in prison. ”
Zuo Yi shook his head and sighed, "In the end, Liang Ji took all his family's money and property of more than 170 million yuan for himself. ”
The wealth is moving, and the Shisun Fen's family is rich and rivals the country, how can it not make Liang Ji blush.
Liu Zhi had some doubts, "Since that scholar Sun Fen is so rich, didn't he seek some refuge?" ”
