Chapter 141 The Good and the Bad Are Mixed on All Sides

After returning to the mansion, Chu Mofeng was about to go back to the house to rest, but saw Li Yuhu sitting in the garden with a flower, just by glancing at her back, she could feel the boundless loneliness that emanated from her body.

Worried that something would happen to his mother-in-law, Chu Mofeng hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Li Yuhu from behind, and said softly: "I said respected Jade Princess, why are you sitting here alone because you miss your husband too much?"

Feeling the familiar aura behind him, Li Yuhu slowly leaned his body into Chu Mofeng's arms, turned his head and looked at Chu Mofeng with teary eyes and said, "Husband, why do you say there are such cruel people in this world?"

Li Yuhu suddenly said this, which made Chu Mofeng stunned for a moment, thinking that since Li Yuan ascended the throne, because it was a smooth transition regime, all the objects in the palace had been preserved, including a large number of precious classics.

Li Yuan knew that his youngest daughter usually liked to read books the most in addition to her love of fists and feet, so he simply waved his pen and allowed Li Yuhu to enter the library in the palace to borrow books. This happened to follow Li Yuhu's wishes, and he would pull Hua Ling'er into the palace to pick up books every once in a while, and even Hua Ling'er began to like to read after a long time.

But in addition to some precious historical classics and ancient recipes, there were also many books from the pre-Qin period, and Li Yuhu's favorite was the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Chu Mofeng saw his own lady's expression like this, thinking that it was because he had read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and hurriedly comforted him: "Feng'er, most of what is said in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is ethereal things, and it can't be taken seriously. ”

Who knew that Li Yuhu listened to Chu Mofeng's words, raised his hand and handed the book in his hand to Chu Mofeng and said: "People are not reading the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the book has long been borrowed by Ling'er, she took the book and exchanged it with others a few days ago. ”

Chu Mofeng took the book handed by Li Yuhu and looked at it, only to see eight big characters printed on the cover: "Evidence of Vulgar Sounds" --- by Yan Min Chu.

Seeing the three words Yan Min Chu, Chu Mofeng suddenly remembered that Geng Li had mentioned this person to himself when he was alive, saying that this person was also a person with outstanding literary talents, and originally planned to introduce Chu Mofeng, who knows that things are wrong, Geng Li died at the hands of Xue Rengao, thinking of this, Chu Mofeng lowered his head and asked: "Don't cry first, what's wrong with this book?"

Li Yuhu stopped his tears and said in a choked voice: "Husband, the author's family of this book has been eaten?"

"What, why are you still eating?" As soon as he heard that he was eaten, Chu Mofeng subconsciously reacted to whether there were any demons and monsters coming from somewhere, how could there be people who eat people these days, it was incredible to think about it, so he asked: "Who has eaten it? How can there still be cannibalism?"

"Zhu Cang. Li Yuhu cherry's lips clenched and said a name angrily, Chu Mofeng whispered in her ear when she heard the words: "Lady, don't worry, wait for your husband to quickly go and inquire, if this person is still alive, then he is not far from death." ”

Although he has not been married to Chu Mofeng for a long time, in addition to getting along day and night, Li Yuhu still knows some of Chu Mofeng's methods, especially the people who have been named on the blacklist of the other side over the years, none of them have escaped assassination. Thinking of this, Li Yuhu looked up and muttered with a miserable face: "Then you have to promise others that you must deal with this matter well, and this kind of inhuman person should not exist in the world." ”

Chu Mofeng leaned down and lightly imprinted on Li Yuhu's lips, then nodded and said, "Don't worry." In an instant, Li Yuhu suddenly stood up and hugged Chu Mofeng and said, "Husband, I want Feng'er tonight, Feng'er wants to give birth to a child for you." ”

Holding the beautiful woman in his arms tightly, Chu Mofeng looked at the sunny sky at this time and said, "I don't know when this day will change, wait a little longer, and talk about it when it is stable in a few days." ”

Li Yuhu buried his head in Chu Mofeng's arms with a red face and whispered: "Okay, don't let people wait too long, the third sister has asked me several times, and people don't know how to answer." ”

As soon as he heard that this matter was instigated by Li Xiuning's girl, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that you are Li Xiuning, he didn't hurry up to leave a queen for other people's old Chai family, but he didn't care about other people's children, it can be seen that there has been no war in the Niangziguan area recently.

When the two of them were grinding their ears and temples, they suddenly heard a light cough behind them, which frightened the two of them and hurriedly separated, and after quickly sorting out their clothes, Li Yuhu looked behind him around Chu Mofeng, only to see Hua Ling'er standing aside with a smile like a flower, and kept muttering in her mouth: "In broad daylight, don't look at indecent things, people don't see anything." ”

Seeing this, Li Yuhu hurriedly wiped away the tears with Chu Mofeng's cover, and then bypassed Chu Mofeng and said to Hua Ling'er with a smile: "Okay, you Ling'er, don't you take a good look at your "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the room, what are you running out to wander around?"

"Sister Feng'er, sister, how can I wander around, it's just that I miss my husband, so I just came out to look for it myself, and saw if I hid in any corner and did something bad. Hua Ling'er deliberately accentuated the word 'bad', which made Li Yuhu's cheeks flush suddenly.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng on the side waved at Hua Ling'er and said, "Come here, come to the master." Hua Ling'er, who usually likes to play, dared to laugh with these sisters, but when she saw Chu Mofeng, she looked submissive, and when she saw her husband calling her over, she hurriedly adjusted her state and walked over.

When he walked in front of Chu Mofeng, he was suddenly pulled into his arms, in the days when he raised troops in Jinyang until he entered Chang'an, although the two of them would also have some ambiguous movements, but at that time, there were only two people, himself and Chu Mofeng, and at this time, there was another Li Yuhu beside him, and Hua Ling'er's face suddenly turned red.

I only heard Chu Mofeng say with a little ridicule: "Ling'er, your sister Feng'er said that she wanted to give birth to her husband, what about you?"

I only heard Hua Ling'er say in a weak mosquito and fly voice: "That... My sister said that no matter what, people are also good. After speaking, he hurriedly buried his head in Chu Mofeng's arms, closed his eyes tightly and began to count Chu Mofeng's heartbeat.

Holding the two beauties, the fragrance of the girl's virginity spread along the hair of the two to Chu Mofeng's nose, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since God favors me so much, then I must create a stable environment for my family and those who swear to follow me. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly separated the two daughters, and said with a smile: "You two stay in the mansion first, and the husband is going to go out, and I will go back to the mansion for dinner tonight." ”

The second daughter nodded, one beckoned the subordinates to prepare the horse, and the other went to the house to take out a robe for Chu Mofeng and put it on, Chu Mofeng smiled and walked out of the gate when he saw this, turned over and walked out of the horse.

After going around and around to the West Market, Chu Mofeng led the horse to a shop without a store name, at this time the door of the store was closed, and the door frame and window lattice were covered with dust, as if no one had been running it for a long time, Chu Mofeng looked around and observed that there was no one, then reached out and knocked lightly on the door three times.

"Who?" heard a low, hoarse voice coming from inside the door, as if something was scraping iron.

Chu Mofeng paused and said slowly: "The old man who traveled west, the smoke and rain are boundless. As Chu Mofeng's voice fell, with a 'squeak' sound, the locked door slowly opened, Chu Mofeng walked in, only to hear a 'bang' behind him, and the door was quickly closed in an instant.

As if he had long been accustomed to it, Chu Mofeng walked towards the inside by himself, and crossed the position where it was originally the counter, Chu Mofeng walked out of a small door next to him and came to the backyard of the store, only to see a middle-aged man about forty years old sitting in the courtyard, polishing something without looking back.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng said loudly: "Zhu Cang, about the Han River and the Huai River, there is no regularity, and there are about 200,000 soldiers under him, and they are all mobs. ”

"Got it, get out, I'll let you know if there's news. This person waved his hand at Chu Mofeng without looking back, signaling Chu Mofeng to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng could only smile bitterly, then turned around and left the place from the way he came, walked out of the shop, turned over and got on his horse and was about to leave the West Market, Chu Mofeng suddenly seemed to think of something, and ran towards the direction of the East Market with a turn of his horse's head.

Coming out of the north gate of the West Market, running all the way along the avenue leading to the Chunming Gate of Jinguang Gate, Chu Mofeng came to the East Market in a short time, at this time the East City was still noisy, Chu Mofeng walked to the door of the Wencheng business located in the East City, and was about to go inside, but he was stopped by the two guards at the door.

I saw one of the burly guards arching his hand at Chu Mofeng, and said with a smile: "This guest officer, I don't know what the merchant is doing in Wencheng? If you are troubled to do business, please come back in a while, the contempt business is temporarily closed to the outside world recently, please go back to the guest officer." ”

Chu Mofeng glanced at him and thought, who is this, the guards who haven't come to the door for a long time have all changed. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng opened his mouth and said: "May I ask who is the current shopkeeper of your account? ”

As soon as the words fell, the burly guard suddenly stepped forward, relying on his tall stature, intending to subdue Chu Mofeng, but what he met today was Chu Mofeng, a person who has been on the death line for many years, and is very comfortable with dealing with emergencies.

I saw Chu Mofeng flashing over this person sideways, and then stretched out his foot and clicked on the inner fossa of his right knee, and jumped high with this force, and the moment this person knelt down in pain, the whole person twisted his body in the air, and a whirlwind leg slammed on the person's head, kicking the person away, and falling to the side of the road without a sound.

Seeing this, another guard pulled out the long sword on his waist and stabbed at Chu Mofeng, as soon as he saw the other party's sword facing each other, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but laugh, kicked his right foot hard against the ground, and the whole person rushed over like an arrow.

The sound of fighting at the door led the people in the house out, only to see a middle-aged man say to Chu Mofeng's back: "I don't know what the honorable driver is doing? Why do you want to hurt my business guard? Could it be that there is no royal law under the feet of this son of heaven?"

Hearing that this person's voice was somewhat familiar, Chu Mofeng hurriedly turned around, only to see Song Xin standing at the door of Wencheng's business, looking at Chu Mofeng with an angry face, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, Song Xin couldn't help but exclaim: "Why are you, I haven't seen you for many years, what are you busy with?"

The two guards lying on the ground heard that the shopkeeper knew this person, and thought to themselves, not to mention this beating, it is estimated that the shopkeeper will definitely punish himself after that, thinking that these two people endured the pain on their bodies, got up from the ground and came to Chu Mofeng, and said respectfully: "This guest officer, it is the little ones who are blind to the dog's eyes, I don't know that you are an acquaintance of the shopkeeper, and I hope to forgive you for offending." ”

originally thought that an apology would turn the page, but Song Xin shouted: "What guest officer, this is the big shopkeeper, don't hurry up and make amends to the big shopkeeper." ”

As soon as they heard the words 'big shopkeeper', the two of them instantly sat on the ground, thinking that it was not good to offend anyone, and if they offended the big shopkeeper, they couldn't even plead for the shopkeeper, so they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed one after another, and kept saying in their mouths: "The big shopkeeper, you will raise your noble hand to forgive the small one, and the small one will make amends to you." ”

"Since the shopkeeper of Xuanji doesn't care about the world, and I have been away for a long time, why has Wencheng's business become like this now?" I saw Chu Mofeng's face sank, and he said coldly: "Is it negligent management, or are you used to doing things so arrogantly?"

Hearing that Chu Mofeng was really angry, Song Xin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Chu Mofeng and said: "Don't be angry, big shopkeeper, since Yang Guang moved to Jiangdu, the two businesses in Luoyang and Chang'an are not in a good mood, especially the Chang'an business has been in a downturn, today's matter is to neglect management, and I hope you can try your best to make up for it in the next opportunity." ”

Thinking that when he was not the big shopkeeper, Song Xin took good care of himself, and Chu Mofeng couldn't bear to punish him, but he still said coldly: "Since this is the case, I will sell you a face, and if you don't forgive you next time." Let's go, come in with me, I have something to say. ”

Song Xin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he heard this, glared fiercely at the two kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly led Chu Mofeng towards the business.

After entering the inner room, Chu Mofeng said slowly: "There are three things to do here quickly, first, choose a good day to reopen the business, and I will make the scene bigger at that time; second, Luoyang, Jiangdu, and Mayi, as long as they are not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the price of all materials will be increased as much as possible, and if the bright ones don't work, they will come to the dark, and the people's grievances in these places must be boiling; third, go check a person named Zhu Cang, if it is possible to find a way to get rid of him, if it is really impossible to feed back the news to me, I will find a way." ”

Song Xin listened to Chu Mofeng's arrangement, and while remembering these words word for word, he nodded and said, "I don't know what the identity of the big shopkeeper is now?"

Chu Mofeng said with a smile when he heard this: "The Great Tang Hussar General, the emperor's shoulders carry the horses. ”

"The subordinates know, and the subordinates will personally supervise these things, and I hope that the big shopkeeper can rest assured. After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Song Xin knew that his own spring had finally come, as long as he did his best, then Chu Mofeng would definitely not treat him badly.

Seeing Song Xin's excited expression, Chu Mofeng didn't break his careful thoughts, and whispered: "I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, no need to send it." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of Wencheng Firm, turned over and walked towards Yining Fang.

Seeing Chu Mofeng's figure disappear in Dongshi, Song Xin came back to his senses and shouted loudly outside: "Two things that don't know whether they are dead or alive will roll in for me." Outside the door, when the two of them heard the shopkeeper's summons to themselves, they couldn't help but look at each other bitterly, and walked towards the house worriedly......

With the performance of one thing, Chu Mofeng's reputation once again rose to a new height.

It turned out that on the Wuwu day (18th), Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, attacked Yu Wenhua in Wei County, but Yu Wenhua could not resist and fled east to Liaocheng. Li Shentong conquered Wei County, killed and captured more than 2,000 people, led troops to pursue Yu Wenhua and Liaocheng, and surrounded Liaocheng.

When Yu Culture and Liaocheng were stubbornly held, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, hurriedly ordered people to besiege Liaocheng, in a vain attempt to take Liaocheng by storming, attacking for several days in a row, both sides had damage, but Liaocheng was not a big city, and the food in the city could not support the consumption of the army at all, and gradually Yu Culture and the army caused a food shortage.

Cui Shi, the deputy envoy to appease, persuaded Li Shentong to allow Yu Wenhua and surrender, but Li Shentong said: "The army and the soldiers have been sleeping in the open for so long, and the enemy is running out of food, and he will be able to win immediately, I want to capture Liaocheng to promote the national prestige, and share his treasures to comfort the soldiers, if I accept his surrender, then what will I use as the cost of rewarding the army?"

After listening to Li Shentong's words, Cui Shi couldn't help but say with some concern: "Now that Dou Jiande is about to arrive, if we haven't pacified Yu Wenhe, we will be attacked inside and outside, and our army will inevitably fail." Surrendering the enemy without a fight is too easy to take as a credit, how can he covet his treasure and not accept surrender?"

Li Shentong was very annoyed when he heard this, and evil thoughts suddenly appeared in his heart, thinking that cutting off people's wealth is like killing his parents, since you Cui Shi is like this, then don't blame me for not being emotional.

Since all the soldiers and horses are now under the jurisdiction of Chu Mofeng, because of the prestige of this god-killing god, Li Shentong did not dare to kill Cui Shi, so he could only imprison Cui Shi in the army.

Soon, Yu Wenshi and the transport of grain from Jibei to Jiyu Wenhua, Yu Wenhe's troops gradually recovered, so they resisted again.

Li Shentong led the army to attack the city, Zhao Junde, the assassin of Beizhou, took the lead in climbing the city wall to climb the city wall, Li Shentong was jealous of his merits, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops without fighting.

On the second day, Tanma reported that Dou Jiande's army was about to arrive, and Li Shentong, who got the news, had no choice but to retreat with his troops.

After Zhao Junde returned to the camp, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but secretly rescued Cui Shi, and the two jointly wrote a report and submitted it to Chu Mofeng.

It was early February when Chu Mofeng received this report, looking at the resentful words of Zhao Junde and Cui Shi in the report, Chu Mofeng scolded in the lobby of the military department, and for a while, everyone in the lobby looked sideways, thinking that this was the one who provoked this without opening his eyes.

Immediately, Chu Mofeng wrote a letter, the content of which roughly means that I don't care whether you Li Shentong is His Majesty's cousin or His Majesty's own son, as long as you are ineffective in fighting, I will definitely punish you if you find out the reason, and this time it is because of your selfishness that the army has returned in vain, and this matter must be explained to everyone. The wording of this letter is called a bloody one, and those who don't know think that the two have some deep hatred.

After Li Shentong received the letter, he relied on the fact that he was Li Yuan's cousin, disdainfully put the letter aside, and then returned to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan in person, in a vain attempt to sue Chu Mofeng first, who knew that Li Yuan heard about this and scolded him angrily on the spot, meaning that if he didn't want to do it, he could be removed from the family tree and leave Chang'an.

At this time, Li Shentong knew that he had kicked on an iron plate, and in desperation, Li Shentong had no choice but to return to the station, and personally submitted a letter of guilt to Li Yuan, so Li Yuan issued an edict to punish Li Shentong.

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty learned of this, they all thought in their hearts, if they provoke anyone, don't provoke Your Majesty and Chu Mofeng, and if you provoke Your Majesty, there may be a little room for retribution, but if you provoke Chu Mofeng, and then Chu Mofeng will play it to Li Yuan, that is, there is no room for even going back. But this is all the idea of Wenchen.

As for the generals who learned what happened, they applauded Chu Mofeng one after another, after all, the matter of opening up the territory is always done by the military generals, and Li Shentong did a little inauthentic in this matter.

In leap February, Chang'an ushered in a new group of surrendered people, Li Yuan learned that he sent Chu Mofeng to summon these people on his behalf, only to see that the first person had eyes like copper bells, a burly figure, and slightly red eyes, this person was Zhu Cang.

It turned out that the people around Zhu Cang couldn't stand his inhumane way of doing things, and abandoned him one after another, and in desperation, Zhu Cang had no choice but to lead the remnants to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Chu Mofeng looked at Zhu Cang in front of him, and said coldly: "This General Zhu Cang, Your Majesty has a decree to appoint you as the king of Chu, and you can recruit subordinate officials on your own. After speaking, he read out His Majesty's reward to Zhang Shanxiang, the former Weizhou Yuan Treasure and others, and when everyone was about to leave, Chu Mofeng said coldly to Zhu Cang: "What is this King of Chu, there is a sentence I hope you will remember, what you did before has already been like thunder in the next, but this is the Tang Dynasty, if you are doing that against the sky, don't blame you for not being emotional." ”

After saying that, Chu Mofeng turned around and left the main hall and walked towards the door, while Zhu Cang, who was stunned in place, had a panic in his heart for no reason, he had already inquired before he was ready to surrender, this person was His Majesty's son-in-law, but once this person made any decision, even His Majesty had to give him three points......

At this time, in order to test the attitude of Li Liang in Xiliang, Li Yuan ordered to send Zhang Qiande to Xiliang to meet Li Liang......

Let's watch Chu Mofeng mobilize troops to besiege Li Rail, and Dou Jiande exterminates Yuwen, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
