Chapter 173: Lu Youzhi's Surprise Attack
Liu Weiyong raised his hand, sent away the imperial guards who had rushed in, and sneered.
"Dare to ask what official position the two of you have?"
"The waiter of the official rite department is a dignified and upright third grade in the court!"
"I am participating in political affairs, from the second grade! How? In the eyes of the left minister, aren't we worthy of discussing here?! ”
The two did not flinch.
Although Liu Weiyong, the left minister, was the minister of the first emperor, in the court of the Southern Qi Dynasty, he could not cover the sky with one hand!
Now that the saint is in difficulty, everyone has different thoughts, so naturally they can't let the ownership of the power be in the hands of Liu Weiyong.
However, some of them can't swallow the breath of land reparations, and some of them just want to grab some more benefits in the chaos that is about to fall into chaos.
Liu Weiyong shook his head lightly and snorted, "It's all civil ......."
"What's wrong with the civil servant? Aren't you also a civil official?! The waiter of the Ministry of Rites glared.
Liu Weiyong, who was standing on the steps, suddenly turned grim and said loudly, "Although he is a civil official, he also has self-knowledge!" ”
"Even Sun Wuyi died on the battlefield, he can't be defeated, and he is helpless against the Dasheng thief, I want to ask you, which of you has the ability of General Sun, can lead the troops to fight, and take back the land lost by my Daqi?"
The two of them were stunned and silent.
"Without General Sun waiting for Er to die, Dasheng's silver armor may have already embarked on the road to conquer Yanjing City, and it is your turn to twitter here, and your mouth is like a river?!"
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, the 30,000 Chiling troops in Yanjing City were said to have been slaughtered by Wen Yuli's three sons, and in addition to the fixed troops to be garrisoned by the Northwest Frontier Station, the number of troops that the imperial court could take out now did not exceed 200,000!
What's even more uncomfortable is that last time Sun Wuyi went north to attack the Dasheng border, he took away many veterans who had experienced a hundred battles, and now the few generals in the DPRK who have the ability to lead troops are either quite old or have no will to fight, and the rest are all raw melons and eggs, how to compete with Wen Chen, who can defeat Sun Wuyi?
So far, they have all figured it out, and it's just a matter of scolding and scolding, if they really start a war with Dasheng again, eighty percent of them will end up ruined and ruined!
"What does the left phase mean, what should I do now?" Tobe Shangshu, who had not spoken, said lightly.
Liu Weiyong sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work, and after the funeral of General Sun, I will personally visit the estuary and interview Wen Yuli's father and son, and try to bring His Majesty ......back."
"Today's plan, we should appease the people, and ask the public to abandon the past suspicions, do everything in their power to help the prime minister!"
When everyone heard this, they all bowed their hands.
"Left Minister!"
Liu Weiyong nodded secretly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
For most people, it may be a misfortune, but for themselves, it is a God-given opportunity!
Although he can't ascend to the throne logically, but at this time, he is the only one who has the final say, in fact, it is no different from being an emperor, if you can stabilize the situation by yourself, you can also leave a strong mark in the history books in the future!
As for Zhao Lun, the kid who almost became the king of the country, let him stay in Dasheng obediently as a hostage, as long as he doesn't die, Nanqi can justifiably survive for a long time.
Bayou City.
It has been more than half a year since Wen Chen led his troops to raid Lucheng last time, and it will be March of the following year in a blink of an eye.
After more than a year of rapid development, the small county town that only relied on mining and fishing, and even receiving money from above to make a living, has long since changed its appearance.
Gone are the dilapidated adobe houses, replaced by new buildings, hospitals, schools, parks, and other facilities that people would never have dared to think of before.
A new port was built in the south of the city, and under the mobilization of Reddick, more and more foreign friends began to investigate and study the small county town that suddenly rose in this mysterious country in the East, and at the same time, it also greatly promoted the development of the local trade industry!
In the current estuary city, if there is any common person who can't come up with five hundred and one thousand taels of silver, they will be laughed at by the neighbors when they say it!
Even the Fucheng next door, which will be connected with the railway, has also been stained with light, and the income of the people in the previous year has more than tripled or four times compared with previous years!
Five miles outside the city, a carriage slowly stopped.
A middle-aged young man jumped from above, stomped the dark gray smooth road under his feet, and showed a puzzled look on his face.
"General Han, Lu remembers that when he left the estuary a few years ago, there were dirt roads under his feet......
"Are you going to be on the wrong path?"
The middle-aged man who was driving the car also had doubts in his eyes, and he took out the map and looked at it with some unease, "It's impossible to return to the military division, last time when the general escorted His Royal Highness the Sea King down here, he took this road......"
The most disturbing thing for the two of them was that in the morning when they had traveled ten miles from here, they found someone laying a track with repaired wooden stakes and heavy iron bars that they had never seen before, and it was spreading all the way to Fucheng.
When I came forward to ask, the busy workers only said that they were ordered from above, and they didn't know anything else!
Now that he sees such a smooth road surface, it makes Lu Youzhi, who is the chief military advisor of the King of Zhennan, feel that something is not right.
The reason why he decided to make a surprise visit this time was that a large number of intricately made glass treasures and strange costumes called rubber raincoats appeared in the city at some point.
After urgently interrogating several merchants, I learned that these things flowed out of Hekou City, and I heard that there was some friction between Hekou and Nanqi last year, and the battle seemed to be very tragic.
However, in the letters of the dozen or so maids sent by the eldest prince, these things have never been mentioned, and some are just the news that Wen Chen has done a lot of evil in Hekou City and has long been placed under house arrest by Taishou Pei Zhi.
Lu Youzhi was worried that there would be any more chaos here, so he temporarily suppressed the matter of interrogating the merchants, found an excuse, and took Han Chuang to decide to go to Hekou City to investigate in person.
The reason why he didn't report such important news to King Zhennan in time was because he felt that Wen Chen was still a reliable person, and in the past more than a year, His Royal Highness the Sea King had not spread any gossip with Emperor Jingren, thinking that if the basket was not big, he would protect him, which could be regarded as a sympathy between literati.
The two of them restrained their thoughts, got back into the car, and decided to take another look.
Half an hour later, after walking outside the city, and seeing the magnificent city wall gate hanging with a plaque with the three big characters "Hekou City", Lu Youzhi dared to believe that he had not come to the wrong place!
Han Chuang looked at the face of the city gate that had already changed greatly in disbelief, "Mr. Lu, the last general will take his life as a guarantee, the last time I left, this place was definitely not like this!" ”
Lu Youzhi frowned slightly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
With his thoughts, he naturally couldn't believe that Wen Chen would be restrained by a little Pei Zhi.
"Go in and see if His Royal Highness the Sea King has used all the money sent by the prince to the border guards to do this superficial work in order to save face!"
Before the two of them could leave, a young man standing at the gate of the city rushed up to meet them!
"The two uncles are here to do business in my Qingcheng, right? At first glance, the aura is extraordinary, and it is the face of great wealth and nobility! ”
"In Xia Yang Lu, he is a dedicated little guide in Hekou City, this is the business card of Xia, and the two masters can call him Xiao Yang!"
Lu Youzhi silently took the small piece of paper handed over by the other party, glanced at it a few times, the printing was exquisite, the paper material used was hard and delicate, and the feel was excellent, even he had never made such a good product!
