Chapter 52: Conspiracy
"Qiao Ge has my son's help, this expedition is true, the military merits are not small, when the battle is over, he is afraid that his kid will enter the West Mansion, haha!"
Wang Li heard Cao Mingwang say that the west mansion is the Privy Council, and the east mansion is the political hall, and on the Linjiang floor that day, Li Yunchuan invited him to drink, during which he told him many things about the government and the opposition in the capital, including the right of Emperor Yao to depose the two governments, and the privy council made Feng Xianzhang convicted and imprisoned, and Liu Yan was also dismissed at that time.
Da Yao's politics are cumbersome, and the Empress Dowager was in charge before, but now that Emperor Yao is an adult, he began to cut off these thorns that hindered him from exerting his hands and feet, and now there is still a remnant of Chi Hongyi in the political hall.
Cao Mingwang was in a happy mood when he heard the good news of this border pass, and after eating the dinner, he specially invited Wang to leave the stage next door to the flower hall to watch two plays, and he was satisfied, and finally let Wang leave back.
I went back to the house and read Guan Shunjian's letter, it was said that the time was urgent, Xu Sheng was taken all the way to Linlang by him, and Xu Sheng was meritorious in guarding the granary in Linlang, and was awarded the head by Guan Shunjian, and the style of Shunjian was only said in a few sentences, and the specific things were omitted.
The next morning, Wang Li looked at the chronicles of the patrol platform in the government office, and received news from Han Qiu, Xu Hongyuan came to take up his post today, and he knew in his heart that since he was sent to him, the two brothers of the Su family would put it aside first, and he planned to attack Xu Hongyuan first.
Xu Hongyuan came to Shenyang a few days earlier, his family has a lot of property, and he bought real estate in Changjiang County, but he took office late this afternoon.
Kong Chengshi didn't know that Xu Hongyuan was also the mastermind behind the scenes, that day the Forgotten Water Pavilion would meet with him, so he told Wang Li's identity, Xu Hongyuan knew that Wang Li's identity was unknown, and in less than two months, he jumped from an ordinary person to a patrol platform too often, for Wang Li's body to carry the Kong family immortal law, he was convinced, seeing that this year is a hundred years node, I don't know when the immortal envoy will come to Da Yao, he was anxious, so he volunteered to personally get the coveted "immortal law" from Wang Li.
Wang Li also knew Xu Hongyuan's thoughts, they didn't know about the death of the Kong brothers, seeing the sudden rise of their medicinal skills, they were convinced that the ethereal "immortal law" was in their hands, why didn't they come up with a plan and invite you into the urn?
On the afternoon of this day, after Xu Hongyuan took office, he came to see Wang Li in person. Although Wang Li knew his details, but in order to set a plan, he deliberately made a black-skinned thread-like book, and when Xu Hongyuan entered the door, he pretended to be frightened, closed it and put it in his arms, and taught Xu Hongyuan's eyes to be hot, and his heart was like a fire, thinking that this was the legendary "fairy law".
"The ministers don't know what to look at anymore? Why did they take it back in such a hurry? Although the ministers are ministers, they have also read a lot of books, and perhaps the ministers also know about the books that the ministers read. ”
Xu Hongyuan's heart was hot, he didn't expect to have such a harvest on the first day of taking office, if this black book that Wang Li read was really an immortal law, no matter what method he used, he would have to get it!
Wang Li pretended to be a little flustered, and snorted, "It's all something that can't be said, don't mention it." ”
"Dispatch Envoy Xu, have you settled down in Yiyang? If you have any difficulties, tell me that you and Brother Fu and Brother Shi are close friends, and I have received Brother Fu's kindness, if there is anything wrong with Dispatch Xu, just tell me, Wang Li will definitely do his best to help!"
The more he listened to Wang Li's interruption, the more certain Xu Hongyuan became, there was something wrong with the black book, and when he went out, he asked Han Qiu beside him: "Han Gecheng, I don't know what kind of book Fang Cai Tai Changsheng reads, why is it so mysterious?"
Han Qiu didn't know why this Xu Dispatch Envoy was so interested in a book, he said: "I don't know about this, but this book is too common to never leave his body, and he never lets others read it." It should talk about the secret book of medicine, you also know, Taichang Sheng's medicine is extremely strong, although I have never seen him treat people, but His Majesty has praised it. ”
Xu Hongyuan was almost certain in his heart that there must be some secrets in this black book, but Han Qiu said that Wang Li had never left that book, which was a bit troublesome.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this black book must be an immortal law, and while thinking about how to steal that black book, he suddenly came up with the idea of swallowing this immortal law alone, and he said that the Su family would cover it first, and said that he didn't find the immortal law, and when he got the immortal law, he didn't have to share the immortal fate with them, and when the time came, the immortal envoy would definitely choose me alone!
Xu Hongyuan was inspired by what he thought in his heart, and he had completely regarded this black book as an immortal method, and he was unaware of the loopholes in it.
Wang Li pinched Xu Hongyuan's urgent mood, no matter whether the inducement was successful or not, in the face of the pressure of time, he would always take advantage of the situation.
In this way, after a period of time, Wang Li and Xu Hongyuan got along fine, Wang Li took out the big Yao Zhi fascicle with black skin as soon as he was free, and changed to another after reading one volume, which was not boring.
On this day, Cheng Chaohan, the young man of Futai, reported that many displaced people from Shunzhou had gathered outside Changjiang County, and he was worried that the displaced people would sleep in the open day and night and break out of the plague, so he reported to Wang Li, and wanted Taili to take some measures to prevent it, so as not to really break out of the plague and affect Yiyang.
Wang Li frowned when he heard this: "Dayao is rich in grain, why do you still see displaced people? Shunzhou? Shunzhou is adjacent to Qingzhou, and the land is fertile, why don't their local county officials open warehouses for relief?"
Cheng Chaohan said helplessly: "In the land of the two rivers in Shunzhou, the ministers are corrupt, they not only have Guangtun fields, but also the grain is shared by the ministers, they naturally will not pay taxes, the local county government just wants to open a warehouse, and there are no grains in the warehouse, and there is no way to provide disaster relief." ”
Wang Li was furious in his chest, "Go, call Han Qiu, you and I will go to the city wall to have a look." ”
Wang Li, Han Qiu and Cheng Chaohan rushed to the city wall of Changjiang County together, and saw that a large number of unclothed homeless people outside the city were pressed by the black, because the city gate was closed, they were all lying on the spot along the river, Han Qiu looked at it and said with a solemn face: "My Changjiang County is in the south of Yiyang, and the river outside the city gate is downstream, and the river water just out of the city is so filthy, these homeless people drink the river water when they are thirsty, and at night, they wash themselves with the river water, so dirty and messy, there will be a plague!"
Wang Xianzhong was also heavy, at this time, the county commander Cheng Chaohe rushed to them with his master, and after bowing to Wang Li and others, he said: "I just let the soldiers defending the city count the number of people, and these displaced people add up to no less than 20,000 people!"
Cheng Chaohan and Cheng Chaohe are brothers, when Wang Li first took office, Cheng Chaohe invited Wang Li to Linjiang Tower for a drink, Wang Li was also happy to make a few more friends, one came and went, everyone was very familiar.
"Brother Chaohe, the reunion of 20,000 displaced people by the river will not only affect the transportation of Changjiang, but if it breeds a plague, it will be a big incident. How much grain is there in Changjiang County?"
Cheng Chaohe was stunned for a moment, and listened to Wang Li's meaning, is this to open the city to help the displaced people?
"My granary in Changjiang County is quite abundant, if you want to help them, there is no pressure, but if you open this door today, the displaced people will all migrate to my Yangyang in the future, this is not a long-term solution!"
Of course, this is not a long-term solution, the long-term plan is to get rid of those extremely greedy ministers! Wang Li nodded and said: "There is no need to open the city gate widely, when the time comes, set up a few places outside the city to distribute porridge soup and plague soup, first appease them, if they are willing to return to their hometown, let them go back, and those who do not want to go back will be incorporated into the Xiang army first." I will tell Sheng Xuangong about this later, and the Qingzhou Fighting Lie Army was taken away a lot by General Guan, and there is not much pressure on these 20,000 people. ”
For the plague, Qingyu Pavilion has a complete means of dealing with it, Han Qiu immediately wrote a recipe for dispeling the plague soup and handed it to Cheng Chaohe, telling him to go directly to the patrol platform to get the medicinal materials, as for the porridge soup, he can only rely on Cheng Chaohe himself.
When the king left the city wall, he went to Cao's mansion and told Cao Mingwang about it, and Cao Mingwang said that there was a batch of supplies to be sent to Fengzhou, and these homeless people could escort grain and grass, which could also be regarded as handy.
With Cao Mingwang's approval, Wang was much more down-to-earth. Early in the morning of the second day, Cheng Chaohe successively sent soldiers out to scatter porridge and soup, and the displaced people were all rushed up in a hurry at first, but under the suppression of the soldiers, they behaved a lot.
In the afternoon, Cheng Chaohe announced the resettlement, these displaced people were tenants whose fertile land had been occupied or abandoned, and they were all homeless, so they could only choose to join the army and bring food to eat.
Arrange scribes outside the city, register everyone's name and surname, and have been busy for two whole days before it is completed, Wang Li took the black-faced roster, and a plan instantly sprouted in his heart.
Back at the government office, Xu Hongyuan took advantage of Wang Li and others to go out and searched Wang Li's desk again, and sure enough, as Han Qiu said, this Wang Li has always kept the black book close to him, and in the past few days, he took advantage of Wang Li's absence to secretly search several times, but he did not find it, which made his heart extremely angry, and also burned his heart's thirst for the black book more intensely.
Wang Li met Xu Hongyuan, who had just come out of the attic, and knew it in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Dispatch Envoy Xu, what are you doing here with me?"
Xu Hongyuan disguised and said: "I couldn't find the cabinet brochure of Yucheng, I thought it was in the Taichangsheng Yafu, but I didn't find it just now, and I have a headache." ”
Han Qiujing's heart was not very peaceful after the hard work of the past few days, and when he saw this, he blamed: "Xu Gechen is really, does this yafu say that it will go to the door? If you lose something too often, you can't tell if you are responsible!"
Xu Hongyuan's face turned dark, and he secretly scolded this Han Qiu's dog, but he heard Wang Li wave his hand and said, "Xu Dispatch envoy go look elsewhere." ”
Wang Li entered the door, but before he went upstairs, a medicine boy said that there was a eunuch outside the stage, and the eunuch from the capital said that he came to enter the palace with Taichangsheng.
Wang Li paid attention to one or two, threw the roster on the black table at hand, and pretended to be in a hurry and walked out, Xu Hongyuan noticed Wang Li's movements, forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, secretly quickly grabbed the black book into his arms, and hurriedly followed.
When he arrived outside the stage, the eunuch said his intention according to the holy decree, and the ministers did not kneel, so Wang Li naturally did not have to kneel to accept the holy decree. Hearing the reason, Wang Li couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out that although the poison in Emperor Yao's body was removed, his chest was already swollen, and it didn't get better for so many days, which made him anxious, thinking that he was a generation of monarchs, and his chest was swollen like a woman, which was too damaging to his majesty, so he hurriedly sent people south to summon Wang Li into the palace.
