Chapter 70 The treacherous plan came to naught

"I, the minister, such a heavy courtesy, besides, it was given to the subordinate by the minister, how can I accept it, how dare I accept it?" Tang Chao deliberately excused himself, and at the same time, a mocking smile appeared on his face, because he thought of the best gifts that this guy had given him before, Night Pearl and "Pegasus Stepping Swallow".

Li Linfu immediately sensed what Tang Chao was thinking, and said with a smile: "Lord Tang, in the past, the prime minister gave you a gift, and he really wanted to frame you, but this misunderstanding has already been clarified, and the prime minister has already been non-infringing with you, and this is a gold ingot, there are many in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is searched, no one dares that your three thousand taels of gold are not coming from the right way, you can rest assured that you will accept it." ”

But Tang Chao suddenly waved his hand: "Li Chenxiang, I think that this plan to frame others is very unjust, even if I have a grudge with Zhang and Qiong, I should pull him off the horse openly, why use these insidious tricks?" ”

Li Linfu couldn't help but be quite annoyed when he saw that the Tang Dynasty had always prevaricated, obviously not agreeing to his plan, but he pretended to have a very amiable smile on his face: "That's good, Lord Tang is an upright official, and he is talented, put away the gold!" ”

The thin little man was ordered to put away the gold ingots, put them in his original pocket, and regained the cold puppet-like aura he had when he came.

Then, Li Linfu stood up and said slightly: "Lord Tang, I have disturbed your Qing Xiu, so I will leave!" ”

Tang Chao hurriedly stood up: "Xiangye, the wine and food are ready, it's not too late to leave after eating?" ”

Li Linfu smiled and said: "Hehe, next time, the emperor has something important to see me, I will go to the Palace of Eternal Life immediately!" ”

With a wave of his big sleeves, he walked out suddenly, very annoyed: It seems that this guy in the Tang Dynasty still can't trust me, and he is still guarding against me, so I'm afraid the plan to attack him in the near future will have to be changed.

At that moment, he sat in the sedan chair when he came, and came with great fanfare, but he left without a flag.

Zhuan Xin was very puzzled: "Brother Xian, this is a great opportunity to pull Zhang Qiu and Qiong off the horse, why don't you agree?" ”

Tang Chao laughed: "You don't understand this, I can find out clearly, between Zhang Qiu and Qiong and Li Linfu, water and fire are incompatible, and they want to kill each other quickly, but Li Linfu is afraid of Zhang Qiu and Qiong's martial arts, and knows that it is easy to kill his whole family, but it is almost impossible to kill him himself, once this person does not die, it will always be his confidant, and now he sees that he suddenly got a big position, and if he is good with Wei Jian, Gao Xianzhi, and Gao Lishi, I am afraid it will be difficult to shake it again, so now whether to kill him or not The whole family is second, The most important thing is that he can't continue to be in power and control the soldiers and horses of Jiannan, so it doesn't matter if I help him in the Tang Dynasty or not, he must be relieved of this big trouble, I am a good Huangmen squire in the Tang Dynasty, why don't you leave a good impression in front of the courtiers, if you really pull Wei Jian off the horse, I may be the prime minister in the service, so blatantly accusing Zhang Qiu and Qiong, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will definitely despise me as a person, leaving a great hidden danger for the future to make friends, what we have to do now is to wait and see what happens, Let's see what means Li Linfu used to pull this Jiannan Jiedu envoy off the horse. Moreover, if I help him clearly, he is likely to suspect that I am still working for Nanzhao, and when the time comes, the emperor will know about it, and I am afraid that he will not be able to leave my little life again? ”

Only then did Zhuan Xin suddenly realize: "It turns out that there are so many joints, I am dizzy when I hear it, Brother Tang Xian, why is your mind so good, when I followed you to force the Sheva army to mutiny, I felt that your mind was okay, why do you want to get these things at once, but I don't understand anything?" ”

Tang Chao laughed: "Big brother has promoted me, in fact, I don't understand anything, and I have to learn more from you, big brother." But in his heart, he thought funny, perhaps, any middle school student before the crossing may have my level. If it is calculated in terms of social progress, the ancients can be regarded as the early age of human exhibition, and now people are in the prime of social exhibition, and modern people are the teachers of the ancients and the elders of the ancients.

The next morning, Tang Chao appeared in the court class as promised, and many of his former acquaintances gestured with their eyes, and Tang Dynasty smiled in return.

Although Li Longji was tired last night and fought with Yang Guifei for hundreds of rounds, he still dragged his very painful waist bone to set up a court. The reason is very simple, Li Linfu specially looked for him last night and told him about Zhang Qiu and Qiong's rebellion, Li Longji was even more furious after hearing this, and immediately met with the person who testified, and there was also a handwritten letter from Zhang Qiu and Qiong and Li Gesang, the lord of Nanzhao.

He originally wanted to get up as early as ten years ago, and set up a court when the fish belly was white in the east, but there was no way, his energy was almost sucked dry last night, and Leng only arrived when the sun was three poles.

When the dynasty was promoted, the ministers had finished worshipping and dancing, and Li Linfu came out first: "The ministers have something to play." ”

"What's the matter with Li Aiqing?" Li Longji said kindly.

"The minister probed the evidence of Zhang Qiu and Qiong's previous rebellion with Li Gesang, the lord of Nanzhao, Zhang Qiu and Qiong are now the envoys of Jiannan Jiedu, and they have the power of the border passes, this matter is very critical, I hope the emperor will think of countermeasures, and stop his conspiracy when he has just served as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu and the army's heart is not attached."

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were all suspicious, and many people thought that this was Li Linfu's troublemaker, and there were many people who were familiar with him and Zhang Qiu and Qiong's grievances, and immediately thought of the joint, but there were still many people who held the idea of waiting and seeing, after all, he had real evidence.

Li Longji really said: "There is such a thing, then Li Aiqing, you see, what is the evidence?" ”

Li Linfu immediately played: "Nanzhao's embassy in the Tang Dynasty can testify that he intercepted a letter from Zhang Qiu Jianqiong and Li Gesang in secret contact, and there are also many clues. ”

"Then the witness comes up." Li Longji had already been prepared, after all, he had planned a lot of time with this trusted prime minister last night, and today he called out witnesses in front of all the courtiers, just to make a show, to show the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and to play the role of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Tang Chao sneered in his heart, Li Linfu, a traitor, really has a way, he can't find me to come out and commit perjury, and he went to find the unjust leader of Nanzhao's ambassador Huyin. Thinking about it, this Huyin accepted a bribe from Li Linfu, and under the coercion of his prime minister, he not only betrayed Nanzhao, but also became his lackey, otherwise, he would not have come out to testify against him like this.

Tang Dynasty sneered slightly, hum, the testimony of this Nanzhao envoy is very different from the testimony of my Tang Dynasty, and the ministers will inevitably think, how can such a confidential letter be known to such a small envoy? But Li Linfu was also forced to be helpless, and he didn't agree to go out of the Tang Dynasty in person, so he had to use this spare chess piece, and he didn't care if he was suspicious, after all, if Zhang Qiu and Qiong were not removed, he would have a feeling of choking in his throat at any time, and it would also affect his status in the capital.

At this time, I saw a man in his thirties, with a roe head and rat eyes, wearing Nanzhao's usual flowered clothes, and when the Tang Dynasty saw it, his heart was familiar for a while, and he suddenly thought that this new ambassador of Nanzhao had come to visit him when he first took office.

Yes, this ambassador is indeed good, but the guards in the last dynasty seem to be calm and unhurried, obviously Li Linfu has undergone special training, but I can't help but admire Li Linfu, this kid was a cockfighting lackey when he was a teenager, and he was a big gentleman, but when he did these things, he was extremely shrewd, and there was no mistake, it seems that in terms of intrigue and trickery, it is his strength. He changed his perspective, if he was in the position of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, then what should he do? Obviously, it's also very tricky.

It is necessary for this man to shout long live, and then, Kan Kan said: "Your Majesty, I am a courtier of Nanzhao, and I should not have given out the secrets of my Nanzhao Kingdom and Zhang Qiu and General Qiong, but one is that I am now loyal to the emperor and a person from the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, it is also Minister Li Chen's righteousness, which made me realize that there is no future as an official in Nanzhao, so I joined Your Majesty, and at the same time came out to testify, hoping that Your Majesty can accept the minister." ”

These words obviously seem to be taught by Li Linfu, and the Tang Dynasty can't be sure.

Li Longji was overjoyed when he heard this, and with the vanity of the emperor of his big country, it was a matter of course for a courtier from a small country like Nanzhao to take refuge in his country, and it could increase his conceit, and he felt that the Tang Dynasty was powerful and powerful.

Immediately said: "I will naturally accept you, and I will give you the position of a five-grade member to help the Ministry of Rites take care of diplomatic affairs." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Back to the emperor, the ministers have a letter of fornication between Zhang Qiu and Qiong and the lord of Nanzhao, and the court has the handwriting of Zhang Qiu and Qiong and the handwriting of Li Gesang, the lord of Nanzhao. ”

He took out a letter sealed in gold lacquer from his flesh-clad garment, the cover had been opened, and it was evident that he had read the contents of the letter.

The Manchu Dynasty was suspicious, but when they saw such a situation, they had all the human and material evidence, and they also dedicated it to the emperor, so that the emperor could see it in person, and they all believed it together.

Li Linfu is a person who is tactful, welcomes Li Longji everywhere, and guesses the emperor's thoughts, and he is not completely arrogant, so at this time, his strength in the court is still amazing.

Gao Lishi took the letter from Xiao Huangmen's hand and handed it over to Li Longji.

Li Longji had carefully checked his handwriting last night, and sure enough, it was Li Gesang's handwriting. As for Zhang Qiu and Qiong, his handwriting is not much left in the court, but he can't distinguish the authenticity, at that time, Long Yan was furious, and now he took a rough look at it again, and then said angrily in the court: "Bold Zhang Qiu and Qiong, I promoted him to a small general, and promoted him to the Jiannan side of the Jiedu envoy, I didn't expect this kid to harbor evil intentions, and privately interacted with Li 6 Gesang, the lord of Nanzhao, you see, what is written, 'But Nanzhao will start fighting on the first day, Zhang Mou will definitely follow His Majesty, and do his best', all Aiqing don't misunderstand, here' Your Majesty', not referring to me, but Li Gesang, the monarch of the small country of Nanzhao, isn't this a great rebellion? ”

When he said this, his face was flushed, and it seemed that he was about to drip blood.

When the ministers heard it, they didn't say anything more, the human and material evidence were all there, Zhang Qiu and Qiong were a rebellious crime, and it seemed that it could not be cleared up.

The Tang Dynasty wondered slightly, Zhang Qiu and Qiong did not betray the Tang Dynasty, this is a fact, but how could Li Linfu be able to imitate his letters and Li Gesang's letters to the point of being fake, otherwise, Li Longji is very talented in calligraphy and painting, and it is not easy to deceive him.

But he was immediately relieved, Li Linfu was powerful, and there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the house, and there might be a top master who was good at imitating letters to forge it for him, otherwise, he would not be able to confuse the emperor.

Li Longji was furious, his eyes swept over Wei Jian, who was flashing his legs, and said, "Wei Aiqing, when you raised your enmity and enmity to me at the beginning, but his martial arts are extremely high, and there is no problem with his loyalty, why is there such a leak now?" ”

When these words, there was a great anger revealed by the king being deceived, Wei Jian knew that if he paid a little attention, not only would his official position not be guaranteed, but I was afraid that his life would also be burned by the fire of anger, but since it was such a time, he still showed the bearing of being a minister for many years, and said calmly: "Back to the emperor, a letter, there is no problem, I heard that there are calligraphers and painters who specialize in imitating famous artists and celebrities in the Beijing Division, and they can imitate the fine works of celebrities with fake and true, and imitate letters that are not well known to everyone. I'm afraid it's easier, the emperor must know. ”

This, Li Longji's anger was a little: "Yes, you are like this, it is also possible, but, suddenly, listen to you still have evidence?" ”

This suddenly said: "Yes, the minister still has evidence, that is, this Nanzhao jade glass snuff bottle, which is a treasure of Nanzhao, has always been treasured in the palace, but it was found in Zhang Qiu and Qiong's mansion." ”

After taking out a small snuff box, the color is turquoise, crystal bright, very good-looking.

Left and right immediately presented this snuff bottle to Li Longji, Li Longji saw it, his face showed a happy look, and he looked at it for a while: "Yes, you are the national treasure of Nanzhao, so how did it get into your hands?" ”

Li Linfu stood up at this time: "Back to the emperor, this was searched from Zhang Qiu and Qiong's house on the order of the emperor." ”

Last night, as soon as he learned about this incident, Li Longji was about to kill Zhang Qiu and Qiong's family, but he was persuaded by Li Linfu's pretense to search his home.

Hmph, it was searched from his house, but the people who searched it were all your Li Linfu's people, and if you want to plant this stolen goods, it is something that a three-year-old child will do. It's like in the past, when the county magistrate decided a case, he would accept a bribe from someone else, and he would be accused of killing someone, and a knife would be found in the house, and it would be stained with blood.

This time, most of the courtiers believed it, although many people suspected that Zhang Qiu and Qiong were slandered, but most of them had no friendship with the generals at this border pass, so they held the mentality of watching the excitement, after all, today's early dynasty did not come in vain, and saw the emperor no, and watched such a good show.

At that time, Li Longji was afraid that the military generals at the border pass would not listen to moderation and leave their parents and families in the capital, and nominally gave them second-grade and third-grade wives, received Yulu, and enjoyed generous treatment.

After Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately killed Li Ling's family, which made the Manchu courtiers very afraid, and they would never dare to commit treason easily in the future, that is, they were afraid that if they rebelled, they would harm the whole family. It's very vicious and very effective.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong are the same, except for bringing a concubine with him, all his family members stay in the capital, Li Linfu wants to search his home and plant a stolen goods, which is a very simple matter.

Although the courtiers knew that this was likely to be Li Linfu's plan, where could they get evidence that Zhang Qiu and Qiong were innocent.

Li Longji's face turned pale, and he looked at Wei Jian: "Now, Wei Aiqing, what else do you have?" ”

Wei Jian was furious in his heart: "This matter started by Li Linfu, most of it is this kid's trick, I firmly believe in Zhang Qiu and Qiong's character, otherwise I would not easily recommend it to the emperor, these letters and what jade glass snuff bottle matter, most of them were framed by him, I don't believe that there is no day when the truth is revealed, anyway, the emperor has already doubted me, so he simply let it go!" ”

So he said loudly: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that this matter is very important, and it is a major event related to the quiet of the southern frontier of the Tang Dynasty. In the minister's opinion, even if he found this jade glass snuff bottle from Zhang's mansion, even if there is a letter as evidence, but the minister has just now, it is inevitable that people with ulterior motives deliberately framed General Zhang Qiu and Qiong, since it is a major event, it should not be decided hastily, I think, if Zhang Qiu and Qiong really betray the court, then you can issue an edict to ask him to return to the court immediately, there is something important to discuss, if he has a ghost in his heart, he will definitely not dare to come back, and there is no doubt about rebellion; If he is willing to come back, then listen to what he is, and then convict him, otherwise, if he kills the border minister on such a charge, then everyone on the border will be in danger from now on, who can really serve the emperor? ”

These few words are quite straightforward, and I thought, even if you dismiss the old minister's official and kill my head, it is also this sentence.

At this time, the contradiction between Wei Jian and Li Linfu has reached the point of being on the same footing, after all, what does Li Linfu want to do, there is always Wei Jian, the prime minister, who is in the way, he has long wanted to take this old guy down, he thinks, even if a young man like the Tang Dynasty is the prime minister, there is nothing bad about it, after all, he has very little qualifications, and he has no hope, but he is a little white face who got up by relying on the eldest princess of Yuzhen, what can he do? Now, Wei Jian promoted this chapter and hatred, which is to make it clear that he is working against himself, and if he doesn't break him, he will be sad in the future.

This is the same law of iron in officialdom, not such big interests, small interests, such as the rescue of cattle and monks and children in the Tang Dynasty in the past, in fact, it did not have a big impact on Li Linfu, but he already wanted to get rid of the Tang Dynasty, let alone such a major event related to fame.

Li Longji didn't expect Wei Jian to be so excited at this time, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Could it be that Li Linfu really dares to cover the sky with one hand and create such a good show of slandering people with one hand?

I think it's impossible, but my face is very ugly, and I think, Wei Jian, this guy, relying on his age, thinks that I don't dare to do anything to you, I can't kill you, can't I kill you?

Just as he was thinking of the dangerous place, a border messenger came urgently, and he asked to see the emperor in an urgent matter.

Li Longji chuckled in his heart: Damn, he rebelled so soon.

Asked someone to call the messenger to bring it to the palace, sure enough, it was the messenger of Jiannan stationed in Nanzhao Tubo, all the courtiers looked at it, and their hearts were pinched with a handful of sweat, Li Xiang said, but it is very possible, listening to Zhang Qiu and Qiong, this person has extremely high martial arts, if he really takes refuge in Nanzhao, it is a big trouble.

I only heard that the messenger had finished worshipping and dancing, and suddenly said loudly: "Zhang Qiu and Qiong Jiedu envoy defeated 3,000 elite Nanzhao elites in Broken Bridge Town in Snow Mountain three days ago, captured seven military generals on the border of Nanzhao Town, killed more than 1,000 people, and the rest were defeated, the Tang army occupied Xuanwei and crossed the bridge on the west side of Snow Mountain, and sent a special minister to return to the dynasty to report the victory, Zhang Qiu and General Qiong, he was loyal to the country, and the emperor promoted him to be a festival envoy, and he was bent on serving the country. ”

These words made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stunned, and Li Linfu seemed to have been hit on the head, and the words of this messenger made the things he had just done look ridiculous.

Wei Jian's face showed a smile, yes, the kid is really good, I didn't misunderstand you, you dared to go out in person, and picked the two important places of Xuanwei and crossing the bridge in Nanzhao, the courage is really not small, and he actually won, it is really amazing.

Historically, this battle did happen, and it was the first month of the 11th year of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong are actually very smart people, knowing that they have a big enemy like Li Linfu in the court, and if they want to sit firmly in the position of Jiannan Jiedu envoy, they must make military achievements. He has been in Nanzhao for a long time, knows the reality of Nanzhao, knows that Li Gesang governs the country well, Nanzhao soldiers are strong and horses, soldiers use their lives, and they are all brave and good at fighting, Wolf Zhengxuan is a big hero, it is really not suitable to start a war with Nanzhao at such a time, but the situation is forced, if he does not go to war, if he has no military merits, Li Linfu will easily pull himself off the horse, so he planned this raid carefully, and it was indeed successful.

Between Nanzhao and the previous Gao Xianling, the base does not invade each other, although the border defense is stable, but it is not as good as all the elite soldiers under Zhang Qiu and Qiongji, and he personally came out of the horse, whether it is in terms of strength or timing, Nanzhao is difficult to prevent, so he is on his way, and the loss is not small.

But because of this battle, Zhang Qiu and Qiong's losses were not small, and he reported to the imperial court that he occupied Xuanwei and crossed the bridge, in fact, he immediately withdrew his troops, he knew that Wolf Zhengxuan suffered such a big loss, and he must have raised a large army to compete with himself, so he hurriedly retreated to Jiannan, and sent the captured soldiers and 6 to the capital to consolidate the position of his Jiedu envoy.

It has always been a success, and he is forced to do so.

On the other hand, he actively trained his soldiers, diligently cultivated his combat preparations, and waited for Wolf Zhengxuan's army to come over so that he could engage him.

Next, one after another messengers returned to the DPRK and reported the news of Jiannan's victory, and Li Longji no longer doubted it.

"Framed, framed! Someone must have framed Zhang Qiu and Qiong Aiqing from it! Li Longji was on fire in the imperial court, the light in his eyes was very fierce, and when he looked at Li Linfu, he smelled a little murderous.

Although Li Linfu was shocked in his heart, his face was impassive, and he said calmly: "Yes, it seems that someone has indeed framed Zhang Qiu and General Qiong, I must find out about this matter, where is Pei Yaoqing?" ”

When Pei Yaoqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, heard this, he hurriedly went out of the class and said, "The minister is here." ”

"I want you to come down to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I can't help but find the culprit who framed Zhang Qiu and Qiong Aiqing, and I will hand over other matters to the Political Affairs Hall to convene a meeting of the eight adults to deal with, and disperse!"
