Chapter 95: Alliance

Shen Lingxi was hospitalized by the waiter Luo Luxing in the mansion of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and after explaining his intentions, he was treated like a distinguished guest.

"It seems that the grievances between the officials and the prime minister Li Cheng are also relatively deep, and I didn't expect the Pingbei General's Mansion to be so popular among any faction! Alas, it's no wonder who doesn't like military power since ancient times! Pingbei General Tuoba Jun holds military power, and in the eyes of various forces, it is fragrant and sweet!"

Shen Lingxi sat in the main hall of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, chatting and laughing with the waiter Luo Luxing, and pushed the cup to change the lamp.

"It's just that these forces can't imagine that the ambition of General Tuoba Jun of Pingbei is no longer something they can satisfy. ”

Thinking about these things in his heart, Shen Lingxi smiled at the squire Luo Luxing, and felt as if he had formed an alliance.

"Major General, the battle situation of General Pingbei on the border is still going well?"

The waiter Luo Luxing asked intentionally or unintentionally while eating the vegetables.

Shen Lingxi had been poured a lot of wine by the waiter Luo Luxing, and his head was a little dizzy, but his consciousness was still very clear.

"Oh, my father-in-law's war with Feng Guo on the border is quite smooth, not only did he take the three counties of Feng Kingdom, but now he is still attacking, I think he will be able to take the fourth county soon, Lord Shilang can rest assured. ”

Shen Lingxi was drunk and understood, knowing that this was the waiter Luo Luxing deliberately drunk himself, so he could listen to some truth, so he simply pretended to be really drunk, and he couldn't speak with his tongue.

"Oh! General Pingbei is worthy of being the first general of my Xuanwu Kingdom, of course Fengguo will not be an opponent, come and have another drink to celebrate General Pingbei!"

Saying that, the waiter Luo Luxing raised his glass again, and Shen Lingxi could only continue to raise his glass and drink it all.

To tell the truth, in fact, Shen Lingxi has already drunk a lot of wine, but unfortunately the wine in this Xuanwu Kingdom is all low-alcohol rice wine, which cannot be compared with his own high-level wine in Runan, Fengguo, so even if he has drunk a lot, Shen Lingxi is still very sober.

It's just that the waiter Luo Luxing felt that Shen Lingxi was almost drunk.

"I heard that His Majesty wanted Pingbei General Tuoba Jun to collect troops and come back to Jianye some time ago, and the major general has agreed to this matter. Is this true, and what is the response from General Pingbei?"

Seeing that Shen Lingxi was already drunk just right, the squire Luo Luxing asked the question he wanted to ask the most, and he also wanted to see if Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, would retire and come back, or continue to fight against Fengguo on the border.

For Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the transfer of troops back to Jianye by the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei is also more worried, the court is already in a delicate balance, and no one wants Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, to come back with 100,000 troops to break this balance.

Although now the righteous son of the Pingbei General's Mansion has come to show favor to him, the squire Luo Luxing still wants to know the true thoughts of the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, so he deliberately drunk Shen Lingxi and wanted to hear some truth.

It's just that it's so easy to hear the truth, and Shen Lingxi doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth.

"Your Majesty does have the intention of letting my father-in-law withdraw from the army, and I have already made a will, and I have promised Your Majesty that day in the palace that I will persuade my father-in-law to withdraw from the army and return to Jianye. How could Lord Shilang have known for a long time, and the queen mother was also present that day. The Empress seemed to agree with His Majesty's proposition at that time, and did not come out to oppose it! ”

Of course, Shen Lingxi knew the relationship between the queen's servant Luo Luxing, so he deliberately played haha and kicked the ball back to Luo Luxing.

Shen Lingxi wanted to see what this squire Luo Luxing meant.

The waiter Luo Luxing saw that Shen Lingxi didn't eat this set, so he changed his statement.

"Well, I do already know about it. It's just that His Majesty actually just wanted to relieve some pressure on the treasury at that time, after all, General Pingbei's 100,000 troops were eaten by people on the border, and the treasury really couldn't afford it, but for the matter of letting General Pingbei Tuoba Jun transfer troops back to Jianye, in fact, His Majesty didn't think about it clearly. Although the queen's sister was next to her at that time, she didn't think about the power of it, so since the young general is here today, let's talk about it. ”

Shilang Luo Luxing has obviously realized some hidden dangers of Pingbei General Tuoba Jun's transfer of troops back to Jianye, so now he wants to explain the situation positively, hoping that Pingbei General Tuoba Jun can not transfer all the troops back to Jianye, it is best to get 10,000 or 20,000 people to come back.

Shen Lingxi didn't know the specific thoughts of the squire Luo Luxing, but he knew from his words that he also didn't want the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun to bring all the 100,000 troops back to Jianye.

"When Squire-sama said that, I didn't understand. Since His Majesty has issued an order to let the Pingbei General's Mansion withdraw and return to Jianye, then we, the Pingbei General's Mansion, as courtiers, can't we disobey the order! So I told my father-in-law the original meaning of His Majesty, and our father-in-law's reply has not yet been received by the Pingbei General's Mansion. However, I think that General Heibei, as a courtier of His Majesty, will definitely obey His Majesty's will. ”

The more Shen Lingxi spoke, the more impassioned he became, feeling that they were really the most loyal and loyal ministers in the Pingbei General's Mansion.

The squire Luo Luxing was also helpless to see Shen Lingxi say this, after all, there was nothing wrong with saying that he was loyal and patriotic, but if the general of Pingbei, Tuoba Jun, really transferred 100,000 troops back, the pattern of Jianye City did not know how to change.

For Jianye only 50,000 forbidden troops, Prime Minister Li Cheng has 30,000 there, and he has 20,000 here, Lang Luo Luxing is very clear, if Pingbei General Tuoba Jun really transfers 100,000 troops back to Jianye, this is not what Prime Minister Li Cheng and he can resist.

As for joining forces with Prime Minister Li Cheng to deal with Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, now Shilang Luo Luxing has not thought about it, after all, he has been fighting with Prime Minister Li Cheng in the court for many years, and the grudge against each other is relatively deep.

Shen Lingxi just saw the idea of the servant Luo Luxing, so he came to visit, which meant that he wanted to pretend to win over the servant Luo Luxing, so that the forces of the queen's faction and Prime Minister Li Cheng would not join forces so soon.

After all, if you really let the squire Luo Luxing and Prime Minister Li Cheng join forces to fight against the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun, then it is very likely that the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun will rethink the successes and failures, so that Shen Lingxi's plan to hope for internal strife in the Xuanwu Kingdom will be frustrated.

Therefore, in any case, Shen Lingxi must first drag the squire Luo Luxing and Prime Minister Li Cheng here, so that they can not see the situation clearly, so that they will not reach the situation of joining forces against the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei so early.

Of course, Shen Lingxi did not plan to help Pingbei General Tuoba Jun to the end, as long as Pingbei General Tuoba Jun led 100,000 troops to the city, Shen Lingxi would find a way to make public the fact that Pingbei General Tuoba Jun wanted to usurp the throne.

In this way, Luo Luxing, who has just woken up from a dream, will immediately join forces with Prime Minister Li Chengna's faction, after all, Jianye has a strong city, plus 50,000 forbidden troops garrisoned, it can be said that there is still the capital to fight to the death with the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei.

It's just that to create this kind of endless situation, Shen Lingxi still has to continue to work hard.

"Squire-sama, please don't worry. Our Pingbei General Mansion is definitely loyal to His Majesty, so even if the father-in-law returns to Jianye with his troops, he will only join forces with Lord Shilang to get rid of Prime Minister Li Cheng's power in the court. When the time comes, the prime minister's position will be given up to Lord Squire, and this is not impossible!haha......"

Shen Lingxi was already drunk anyway, so he simply began to make a big fuss, saying the best situation for the waiter Luo Luxing.

Obviously, the waiter Luo Luxing was already moved after listening to Shen Lingxi's words, he had been coveting the throne of the prime minister for a long time, after all, the prime minister was a position above ten thousand people under one person, and he Luo Luxing wanted to be the prime minister in his dreams.

"Can the Pingbei General Mansion really join forces with me to oust Prime Minister Li Cheng from power? But Prime Minister Li Cheng has been above the court for many years, and their faction is not small, and he still has 30,000 forbidden troops in his hands. Did this Pingbei general Tuoba Jun say any countermeasures?"

The squire Luo Luxing had the expectation of being the prime minister, so there was a longing glint in his eyes, wanting to hear more accurate news from Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi had already seen the thoughts and desires of the squire Luo Luxing, so he followed his meaning and said.

"The father-in-law has actually seen Prime Minister Li Cheng's faction very unpleasantly for a long time, every time the treasury allocates grain, grass and military salaries, this prime minister Li Cheng always has to deduct some, so that the front-line soldiers are not full of food and clothing, which makes the father-in-law very annoyed. If the father-in-law really transfers troops back to Jianye this time, then the first thing to clean up is Prime Minister Li Cheng. ”

Shen Lingxi said it with righteous indignation, so that the waiter Luo Luxing was unconsciously infected.

"As for the 30,000 forbidden army in the hands of Prime Minister Li Cheng, it is not a problem for our Pingbei General Mansion. This time, when my father-in-law comes back, he will at least bring back an army of 100,000, and he will not be able to capture a forbidden army of only 30,000! ”

Shilang Luo Luxing was a little dizzy by Shen Lingxi, mainly because Shen Lingxi was a little drunk, so when he said it, Shilang Luo Luxing still believed it very much, so he hurriedly said: "Since the Pingbei General's Mansion also looks at Prime Minister Li Cheng's faction unpleasantly, then this time we will seize this opportunity to uproot Prime Minister Li Cheng's forces in the court." I, Luo Luxing, will not treat General Pingbei badly as the prime minister, and I can let General Tuoba Jun of Pingbei do the position of Great Sima. And the major general can also inherit the position of general of Pingbei here, what does the major general think?"

The squire Luo Luxing was already moved by the prospect depicted by Shen Lingxi, so he did not hesitate to start sealing the official and making a wish.

Shen Lingxi didn't expect this squire Luo Luxing to be so generous, willing to let the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun be the big Sima who is in charge of the world's military power, and let himself be the official position of the Pingbei general.

To be honest, this is a bit surprising, but Shen Lingxi knows that Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, will not be satisfied with the position of a big Sima, since it is a royal bloodline, Tuoba Jun wants to be the emperor.

It's just that Shen Lingxi can't reveal this to this squire Luo Luxing now, so he quickly responded excitedly: "Thank you Lord Squire for your love, my father-in-law must be very interested in the position of Da Sima." As for whether I do it or not, it doesn't matter if I am a general of Pingbei, as long as my father-in-law can continue to hold military power. In the future, we will have to take care of Lord Shilang in the Pingbei General's Mansion. ”

"Haha, the young general is really young and promising, if I have a righteous son like the young general, I Luo Luxing will wake up laughing when I sleep. ”

Shen Lingxi saw that Luo Luxing was completely fascinated by the position of the prime minister, so he also laughed.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Shilang Mansion became more and more enthusiastic.

Reached an offensive and defensive alliance with Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, and Shen Lingxi walked out of the mansion of the servant of the ministry with staggering steps.

The squire Luo Luxing originally wanted to send a carriage to send Shen Lingxi back to the Pingbei General Mansion, but Shen Lingxi said that this was too ostentatious, and he was afraid that Prime Minister Li Cheng would find out in advance that he would be prepared.

So at Shen Lingxi's insistence, Luo Luxing did not send anyone to send Shen Lingxi home.

Shen Lingxi went out of the mansion of the servant of the Ministry of Officials alone, and sat and drank tea at the tea stall on the corner of the street as if he was relieving hangover.

During this time, Lin Feng would come to this tea stall from time to time to take a look, but today he didn't expect to see Shen Lingxi drinking tea in this tea stall again.

So Lin Feng naturally stepped forward, sat down on the table next to Shen Lingxi, let the second child of the tea stall serve a pot of tea, and ordered a few snacks.

Of course, Shen Lingxi noticed the figure of Lin Feng sitting near him.

So after Xiao Er in the tea stall walked away, he immediately spoke: "Uncle Lin Feng, I went to the mansion of the servant of the ministry today, and I bragged about it with Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry. told him that the prospect was very wonderful, and said that he would be prime minister or something. That Luo Luxing was also refreshing, saying something like letting Tuoba Jun be the big Sima and let me be the general of Pingbei. Now that I've stabilized this Luo Luxing, how are you doing over there?"

Lin Feng didn't expect Shen Lingxi to be so efficient in doing things, and he was a little relieved.

"Your Highness is really powerful, and in just a few days, you have persuaded the waiter Luo Luxing. I have Prime Minister Li Cheng already started to be suspicious, and he seems to see the crisis after the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun returned to Jianye City. So yesterday I was asked to go to his study and ask me about some countermeasures, and I could see that Prime Minister Li Cheng did not trust the general of Pingbei, Tuoba Jun. Although I comforted Prime Minister Li Cheng a few words, it can be seen that Prime Minister Li Cheng is not at ease with Pingbei General Tuoba Jun. This can only be delayed for one day, and I hope that Pingbei General Tuoba Jun can rush back to Jianye as soon as possible. By the way, His Royal Highness can write a letter to ask General Tuoba Jun of Pingbei to return to Jianye as soon as possible. Otherwise, Prime Minister Li Cheng may ask His Majesty to change his will. ”

Shen Lingxi pretended to drink tea while listening to Lin Feng's narration.

"Okay, then Uncle Lin Feng continues to stabilize Prime Minister Li Cheng. I wrote to ask the general of Pingbei to rush back to Jianye as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
