Expeditionary force?

The old master of Qin was dumbfounded when he heard this, Xiao Fengshan's matter was a top secret, only Xia Jingyun and the Queen Mother, His Majesty, Jiang Yuhu and Xia Yunfei, the two people in the army, and Chen Fugui, a personal guard who could be regarded as one with Xia Jingyun, knew his true identity, and even the old owner of Zhao and Su Lao Xianggong and others only knew the existence of Xie Chongsheng, but they didn't know that it was Xiao Fengshan.

Therefore, when he heard the news at this moment, the old family master of Qin didn't think much about it, just regarded it as Jiang Yuhu's arrangement, and felt that he finally understood what Xia Jingyun was thinking.

"This is a great achievement in expanding the territory! The soldier can almost immediately be crowned, even for you today, it is also a sufficient bargaining chip, think about it, your phase will be able to convince the public. ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "This is a good thing, but my plan is not this." ”

He looked at the two old men who had helped him a lot, "Let me sell it first, and you two will know in a few days." ”

The two looked at each other, but they were helpless, and they each said goodbye and left.

After taking a few steps, the old master of Qin suddenly took the initiative to say, "Wei Guogong, are you going together?" ”

Old Master Zhao glanced at him, and then smiled and nodded, "Your carriage is to be comfortable, and I will use it." ”

Soon after, the carriage moved slowly and went directly to the Weiguo Mansion, and not long after sitting down, the old minister Su who specially sent someone to invite also arrived.

The three of them sat down, and Wei Guogong, as the host, took the initiative to say: "What does Lu Guogong have to say?" ”

The old master of the Qin family waved his hand, "That's polite, the old man mainly wants to sum up with the two of you about the north-south trade that Gao Yang said before." Let's see if there is anything to help him fill in the gaps. ”

The three of them now have juniors who are married to Xia Jingyun, and they have long had a relationship with the Xia family that is both prosperous and lossy, so they naturally take it seriously when they hear this.

But after the old master of Qin told him about what he talked about with Xia Jingyun today, Old Master Su and Old Master Zhao frowned slightly.

The old minister Su, who was much more knowledgeable than ordinary Confucianism, was actually quite resistant to these merchants' skills in his heart, and when he heard the words, he said: "How can the matter of gold and silver and goods rise to the level of family and country affairs, and I hope that through this way, the dispute between Beiliang and my Daxia will be eliminated, I think the possibility of achieving it is very small, and it is not worth wasting too much energy." ”

Old Zhao Zhuang also said softly: "Yes, the seven surnames of Beiliang are tigers and wolves, and some are supported by the people, and the attraction of gold and silver goods to them is actually not great. I think Gao Yang is thinking too much this time? ”

The old master of the Qin family listened to the words of the two, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "I had the same idea as the two of you before, but because the Qin family is familiar with business affairs, I finally guessed the intention of that kid in Gao Yang." ”

The two eyes looked at him instantly, surprised, curious, confused, questioning, full of complexity.

It is rare for the old master of the Qin family to pretend to be a beep in front of these two people, so he is naturally addicted, and the old god is in the tunnel: "The two of them are both great talents in the world, the old man of the court, with the current situation of Gaoyang, can it be said that he is a powerful minister?" ”

Although Old Minister Su has temporarily reconciled with this old rival now, it has not yet reached that level, so he directly shut up and ignored it when he saw this.

The old owner of Zhao had no choice but to cheer himself and said: "Even if it is not completely calculated at the moment, it will definitely be in the future." There is a strong army outside for assistance, and the queen mother is relied on inside, controlling the government, leaning towards the government and the opposition, commanding the world, and not daring to disobey, compared with the former Qin Weizhong, it is countless times stronger. ”

The old master of the Qin family chuckled, "Since ancient times, the powerful ministers have been beautiful, but once they lose power, or die, what is the situation?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Su and Old Farmer Zhao looked solemn, this was actually their deepest worries, but they often used excuses such as "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren" and "Gao Yang should have a way to be so smart" to paralyze themselves.

At this moment, when the old master of the Qin family said this, the two old men who were the top in the world and had enough experience immediately reacted after a moment of doubt.

Old Master Su looked at the old master of the Qin family in surprise, "You mean, he is already thinking about his own back road?" ”

The old master of Qin nodded with a smile, found a pen and paper, and wrote a few numbers on the paper, "Although you are not familiar with business, you always know the shares of the firm, you take a closer look, if you follow Gao Yang's proposal, what is the mystery of the shares of the newly established firm?" ”

The two of them looked sideways, and under the very directional prompting of the old master of Qin, they really discovered the mystery.

"I have a total of 4 and a half percent of the shares, Beiliang accounts for 40 percent of the shares, the employees of the firm account for half of the shares, and Gao Yang accounts for 1 percent of the shares. Hiss! Gao Yang's success is very important! ”

"That's right! The two imperial courts, as well as the families in the court, are naturally standing at one end, in this case, where Gao Yang stands, which end can gain control in the firm, even if His Majesty's pro-government and Gao Yang are at odds, or even Gao Yang dies, the Xia family has this business name that spans the north and south and transcends a country as a guarantee, which is a life talisman that is more effective than any Danshu iron coupon. ”

The old master of the Qin family clicked on this piece of paper, "As long as this business can really be done, and it can really produce output that makes the courts of the Northern and Southern Dynasties reluctant, and dare not force the Xia family to the enemy country, the future of the Xia family will be fully guaranteed!" ”

Old Lady Su and Old Farmer Zhao were silent together, and after a while, Old Farmer Zhao sighed: "The old man has always boasted of his extraordinary wisdom and anticipation of the enemy, but I didn't expect this guy to think so long-term. ”

Old Minister Su couldn't help but nodded, "Don't worry about winning, think about defeat first, with this cautious heart, I don't need to worry about future generations after a hundred years!" ”

The old master of Qin snorted, "That's why the old man said that the two of you should come together to discuss, check and fill in the gaps, and strive to make this talisman more secure for him." ”

Saying this, Su and Zhao had no opinions, and Su said slowly: "With the current situation, the Empress Dowager of the Imperial Court is in power, and Gao Yang has just saved the lives of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, and the relationship is the most harmonious time, and they will inevitably agree to this plan, and the problem will only be Beiliang." To what extent he has a relationship with Yelushi, it can be said in advance, and these are the problems. ”

Old Master Zhao chuckled, "According to the information of the Black Ice Terrace, Yelushi unexpectedly rebelled against the prince of Northern Liang and supported King Jing to ascend the throne, and there was Gao Yang's handiwork behind this. ”

The old master of Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "Since this is the case, then this matter can be done, and all that remains is how to achieve this matter to the extent hoped." ”

The voices of the three of them gradually lowered, and they began to think carefully.

On the other hand, Xia Jingyun is also working hard to write.

In the past two days, he has been nesting in the mansion but he has not nested in the mansion every day as everyone thinks, and he is really concentrating on writing a plan for building a new business.

Now that he had written a rough idea, he increased the income from today's communication with the old master of Qin, and dried the ink with satisfaction.

He picked up the letter and wrote a letter, packed it and sealed it, and called Chen Fugui.

"Brother Chen, let's take a team of people to set off, we must personally hand over this box to Yelushi's hands, it's hard work."

The two had communicated in advance, and Chen Fugui didn't say much after taking the things, and nodded directly, "Don't worry, son, you will live up to your mission!" ”

He is not worried about any security problems when he arrives in Beiliang, not to mention whether Beiliang has the courage to take the initiative to provoke them now, just saying that Yelu Caiqi is still in Zhongjing, Yelu Shi, the king of Dingxi, will definitely ensure the safety of Chen Fugui and his party.

"When you go, let a group of people slow down, follow behind, and after you get the reply and hand it over to them to hurry back, come back slowly, your body is important."

Chen Fugui grinned, "Don't worry, childe, I know what I know." ”

Looking at Chen Fugui's distant back, Xia Jingyun stretched a long lazy waist.

——

Five days later, the North Liang, the Liang capital, and the Dingxi Palace.

Jerodite sat in the middle of the room, turning over the folds in his hands.

Yerod stood respectfully on the side, "Father, recently, the court has been quite aggressive, are we still not moving?" ”

What he is talking about is that in the past few days, as the previous Xuanhui Yuan Tongzhi has not been directly disposed of, many people who have smelled a little bit of wind have also begun to think more.

Under the manipulation of the people behind the scenes, some petty officials who were not afraid of fighting to the death or were forced to be helpless began to make suggestions in the court one after another, hoping to reorganize the army to invade the south and revitalize the prestige of Daliang.

In fact, everyone is until, it doesn't matter whether there is a southern invasion or not, the important thing is that the first major event, or the most basic major event, presided over by your Yelushi government, has been provoked in this way.

This not only shows the people's unwillingness to accept their status as vassals, but also tests the response of the Yelu clan.

Is it to kill and suppress? Is it concession and co-optation? Or do you want to retreat?

At every step, there is the possibility of facing new situations and leading to new situations.

Everything comes from politics, everything is politics.

Yelushi already had some plans in mind, but he did always feel that it was a little imperfect, so he was still a little hesitant.

And at this moment, the clansman who was in charge of the intelligence of the palace passed a message in.

When Yelushi heard this, he was slightly surprised, "The envoy of the Southern Dynasty? No military escort? Where is it now? ”

"It's like Shangjing Road, and it's still half a day away from Beijing!"

Hearing this, Yelushi groaned: "Send an envoy here at this moment, I think there must be something important, let's talk about it when the envoy arrives." ”

And when the messenger arrived, the other party really went straight to the Dingxi Palace, when he saw the face of the visitor, Yelushi, who was originally sitting, got up instantly, walked down the steps very politely, and welcomed the dusty other party to the living room.

Then he dismissed all his servants and asked Jerod to guard the door himself, in case the wall had ears.

Because, he recognized, this was Xia Jingyun's most trusted personal guard, and he was the only bystander in the extremely secret meeting he had with Xia Jingyun that day.

This kind of identity has traveled thousands of miles, and if he is lazy and doesn't care, then he really doesn't have a long brain.

Chen Fugui took out a sealed box from the bag on his back and handed it to Yelushi, "Lord Wang, on the orders of the prince, I have come to deliver a letter, please open it in person." ”

Yelushi hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Xia Jingyun could not assassinate him at this time, he checked the fire paint on the box and opened it carefully.

After seeing the book in the box, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, picked it up and looked at it carefully.

This excerpt is the detailed rules for the cooperation between the two dynasties written by Xia Jingyun, which is detailed and comprehensive, and has eliminated many of Yelushi's unresolved worries.

At this time, Chen Fugui said softly: "Our expeditionary force has now occupied the entire territory of Xinluo and is heading towards the white plan, and when the two sides negotiate, they must have conquered the entire territory of the peninsula." At the same time, the first batch of goods has been counted and put into storage, and they are waiting for the two countries to negotiate, and they will be shipped back according to the amount of dividends. ”

Yelushi's heart was overjoyed, so that the eastern and western trade routes have been recognized, and this matter can really be put on the agenda!

And those people's obstruction or covert opposition can also be convincingly gaged by him.

Xia Jingyun's hand really solved his problems accurately and timely.

He slowly spoke: "The wisdom of the Marquis of Jianning, the old man is really difficult to reach!" ”

Chen Fugui's face was calm and he didn't say much.

Just when Yelushi was thinking about what to do next, he found that there was a secret letter under the box.

He raised his eyebrows, reached out to pick it up, slowly opened it, and swept it at a glance, but his face immediately changed suddenly.

The letter is only a few lines, but the meaning is clear.

Xia Jingyun directly named a person's name, saying that he wanted all the files of this person, as well as all the evidence of being a spy in Northern Liang, he wanted to win the trust of the world, and he wanted to come to Dingxi King would not let him down.

If Xia Jingyun asked him for a spy who was obviously extremely successful in the Southern Dynasty like this, he would definitely have to find a way to refuse, or even rescue the other party.

But in this situation, with the previous plan and Chen Fugui's news as the foundation, he couldn't say anything if he refused.

He was silent for a moment, "Your envoy, please come to the mansion to freshen up and rest for a while, and then reply to your envoy after this king has made a little total." ”

Chen Fugui nodded, got up, and under the leadership of the housekeeper, he went down for the time being.

When Yelud turned into the room, he heard Yelushi say in a deep voice: "Quickly call Linghu Yan." ”

A moment later, Ling Huyan hurried over.

As soon as the polite words came out, Yelushi directly interrupted and said a name, "Is this person my Chao Shadow?" ”

Ling Hu Yan looked at Yelu Shi in shock, "Lord Wang, how do you know?" Only the first emperor and the lower officials knew about this matter, and they didn't say it to outsiders! ”

Jeresh interrupted again, "You just have to tell me yes or no!" ”

Seeing that Yelushi seemed to be a little angry, Ling Hu Yan hurriedly replied in the affirmative, "Yes." ”

But out of the professional ethics of an intelligence chief, he still had the courage to add, "This person is now in a high position in the Southern Dynasty, and he has made many meritorious contributions for our dynasty, and he is the most successful secret son of my Liang, and I also invite the prince."

Before he finished his words, Yelushi closed his eyes with a bit of dejection, "Sort out this person's information file and hand it over to this king, and this king will give it to Xia Jingyun." ”

"Lord Wang!"

Ling Hu Yan was shocked when he heard this, and even had a little excitement regardless of his dignity, and the intention of dissuasion was obvious.

Yelushi hatefully slapped a piece of letter paper on the desk, "Look for yourself, can you still hide it?" ”

Ling Huyan picked up the letter paper, and his expression changed suddenly.

Yelushi's voice slowly sounded with a bit of exhaustion, "Xia Gaoyang has personally pointed out the name of the family, and the so-called information is nothing more than to give us a step, do you really think he can hide it?" ”

"But."

"Nothing, but. If the shadow is exposed, it is no longer a shadow. Yelushi took a deep breath, "Be kind to his family and relatives in my court." ”

Ling Huyan looked at the letter with an extremely ugly expression, and after a while, he said slowly: "Lord Wang, should the lower officials notify them in advance?" ”

"Inform Yu Chihong, don't tell that person."

Witnessing the ruthlessness of an abandoned son, Ling Huyan nodded and retreated, walked out of the mansion, and sighed dejectedly.

——

In Zhongjing City, the Marquis of Jianning finally came out as a director after resting for a few days.

However, instead of organizing the matter of agreeing on the prime minister as quickly as those speculators who thought they had found a good opportunity had predicted, they concentrated on taking the lead in the handling of the great case of His Majesty's assassination under the decree of the Queen Mother.

the trial and conviction of Wan Wenbi, Yan Songwen and others;

the conviction and disposition of the Lu, Wang, Yin and other clans;

As well as the cases of the rest of the officials, he led the Criminal Department, Heibing Platform, and Jingzhao Mansion to carefully straighten it out.

One by one, one by one, one by one, all of them are organized and convincing.

After many people were stunned, they thought that he was going to take the opportunity to climb and bite and bring down Yang Xiang.

But I didn't expect that when the heads fell to the ground, the case came out, and I didn't see any charges related to Yang Xiang.

At the same time, the statistics of the results of the new policy in Swift Prefecture were also officially made public to the courtiers.

240,000 acres of land, more than 30,000 households, more than 1 million taels of silver, and nearly 2 million taels of silver, the income from confiscation of taxes, made everyone shut up.

This is just a state of Swift, a state of Swift or a border state, and the thirteen states of Great Xia, if they can achieve such results, what is the scene of the treasury and the imperial court?

When the straightforward data is in front of us, no one can openly attack the New Deal with any arguments that disturb the people and harm the people.

After spending seven or eight days on the Marquis of Jianning, when the trial of this major case that affected countless people and completely changed the pattern of the imperial court was completed, a carrier pigeon flew into the black ice platform.

Rouge rushed into the Jianning Marquis Mansion with a letter paper, "Husband, news from Lieyang Pass, the return team has passed Lieyang Pass yesterday, and everything is going well." According to the footsteps, the fast horse does not stop, and you can arrive in Zhongjing tomorrow evening. ”

Xia Jingyun took the letter paper and smiled slightly, "I'll go to the palace." ”

On the evening of the same day, the Queen Mother promulgated an edict that in view of the fact that the phase is now vacant, the center is short of personnel, and the operation is difficult, it is scheduled to be two days later, when the court meeting, a new minister will be elected and the central officials will be replaced.

The will quickly spread throughout the ranks of officials in Zhongjing City, and everyone instantly became excited.

——

On the outskirts of Zhongjing City, in a canopy boat on a small river, Wei Chihong, dressed as a fisherman, listened to the report of his subordinates, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.

The queen mother of the Southern Dynasty was also afraid, so she didn't appoint it directly, but did something to make a covert recommendation.

Such a great opportunity, he is sorry for his robe if he doesn't seize it.

This Marquis of Jianning, it looks like that! Nothing.

He smiled slightly, and was about to give orders, when a few shrill whistles suddenly sounded on the riverbank.

Wei Chihong's face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered to dock.

A subordinate dressed as a hunter handed a note to Wei Chihong's hand.

"My lord, Linghu is a secret letter."

Yu Chihong hurriedly opened it, only glanced at it, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning and froze in place.

He turned his head to look at the huge and majestic Zhongjing City, as if a contemptuous gaze was looking at him coldly.

The gaze seemed to say, "How did you have the courage to fight me?" (End of chapter)
