Chapter 156: The Light and a Few People
In all the stories of uprisings and rebellions, the word money is indeed indispensable.
Whether it is used to reward those soldiers who have given their lives, or to buy those generals, money is an extremely direct and useful thing.
So in those stories, once you decide you want to start something, the first thing you do is to find someone who has a lot of money.
There are many rich people in Huaiyang City.
But their wealth is still different from the treasury.
There is only one person who can take money from the treasury in a short period of time, the old man of the household department Shangshu Xunfang.
Therefore, when King Liang got into trouble, he first needed this old man Xun to take out some silver from the treasury.
This kind of thing, during the Chenghua period, there was a household member Wailang who did it by chance, and embezzled a full 300,000 taels of silver in circulation, in order to invite the first killer of Chen Guojianghu to assassinate Luan Xiangguo.
Although everything was done seamlessly, and afterwards he blamed the incident on another household official, causing the household official to be beheaded all over the house, but after this matter was known to the first emperor, the household member Wailang still died.
If the treasury is used in vain, the end will be extremely miserable.
Now King Liang wants to start an incident and ask for silver, so he found Xun Shangshu.
It is only with the Xun family, which Chen Guoguo has been there since the beginning of the country, that His Majesty the Emperor will rest assured that he will hand over the household department to them.
His Majesty the Emperor does not unreservedly trust a certain person, or a certain family.
Let Xun Fang sit in this position, but there is no one in the court who is more suitable for this position than him.
But since Xun Fang is allowed to sit in this position, this head of the Xun family will have the power of the head of the household department.
For example, if you don't need any other will, you can open the treasury and take out what King Liang needs.
However, tonight, King Liang and this Hubu Shangshu seem to have a disagreement.
The starry light outside the house is brilliant and the moonlight is extremely beautiful.
But in the study of this Tobe Shangshu, if the lamp is not lit, it will be dark.
So someone lit a lamp.
It's Princess Qi again.
The first beauty in Huaiyang City personally lit a lamp for King Liang and Xun Fang, and in fact, she was the one who pulled the thread for these two people.
Although it was at the behest of Xun Fang.
The gray-haired, but self-bearing old man sat on a Taishi chair and looked at King Liang, who was tall and dressed in gray across from him.
King Liang smiled and said, "Xun Lao Shangshu, it seems that he is still a little dissatisfied with the conditions of this king, but now the situation in Huaiyang, it is difficult for Lao Shangshu to be unclear, whether there is this silver or not, this king has to cause trouble, the reason why this king patiently came to Lao Shangshu to finalize the final thing is just to read the face of Lao Shangshu and Princess Qi is the old man of this king." ”
Xun Fang frowned and didn't hurry to speak, the conditions that the two of them had talked about before had probably been negotiated and should have been finalized, but if it weren't for a letter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two parties would not have had to continue to meet.
Xun Fang still hasn't figured it out, since he is Luan Xiangguo, who is determined to leave the country, why would he interfere with the current court, and even wrote such a letter to King Liang.
"Even if Luan Xiangguo supports it, His Royal Highness King Liang should also know that after the incident, the hearts of the people are also needed, and the Xun family has followed Chen Guo for so many years, and some things are more useful than Luan Xiangguo's words. ”
Xun Fang continued to say in a deep voice: "Besides, if His Royal Highness King Liang succeeds, those royal children may not really accept their fate, and when the time comes, the little girl will need to ask King Qi to mediate." ”
Although King Liang is considered to be more talented in military affairs than others, since he is a child of the royal family and the son of the former emperor, he has naturally received teachings from the royal family since he was a child, and he will not be bad at all in terms of mind and talent, so Xun Fang's words, he can quickly judge whether they will appear or not.
It's a pity that this rebellion that he has been planning for a long time, or whether it is called forcing the palace or some other word, everything ended abruptly with the death of the imperial brother and his assumption of the throne.
He didn't think about what happened behind him, maybe he didn't think about it carefully.
In the eyes of King Liang, whoever disagrees after that will probably be satisfied
It's just someone to kill.
But now he suddenly remembered another thing, the royal family was not satisfied, he might be able to solve it with blood, but what if those generals with heavy troops in their hands were not convinced?
Now there are only 3,000 Imperial Forest troops in Huaiyang City.
And the commander of the Imperial Guards was only bought by him.
Since it is a bribe, it is possible that one day they will also be bought by someone else.
So how can you sit on this throne.
The most important thing is to let Luan Xiangguo stay, support him, and stand behind him.
But in fact, since Luan Xiangguo has made a decision, it should not change, and that Xiangguo-sama is not the kind of person who changes his mind because of one or two small things.
But what about that letter?
King Liang understood him as Luan Xiangguo's disappointment with his imperial brother, and his disappointment with Chen Guo's temple, since he was disappointed, he had to find hope, so Luan Xiangguo left the country and gave him a letter before leaving the country.
This is probably the best answer.
But Luan Xiangguo has to leave after all.
Relying on this Xiangguo is not realistic.
Therefore, King Liang could only start with the rest.
What Xun Fang said before is the problem that King Liang has to face now, there are generals in the army who swear to serve him to the death, but after all, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and there are no such generals in Huaiyang City.
Only by stabilizing the situation in Huaiyang City first, if those royal children don't have any words, even those generals who want to use the name of King Qin will not be able to attack.
Xun Fang and Princess Qi are very important now.
Xun Fang can help him with his own prestige, Princess Qi has King Qi behind him, and everyone knows how much the King of Qi, who is unwilling to fight for power, loves Princess Qi.
After killing His Majesty the Emperor, the children of the royal family disobey King Liang, so who else can be pushed out?
Only the King of Qi.
The three sons of the former emperor are only.
If at this time, Princess Qi persuaded King Qi to come out and firmly support King Liang.
Shut the mouths of the crowd.
It's perfect.
Thinking of this place, King Liang squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xun Fang didn't speak, waiting for King Liang to speak.
Princess Qi was even more standing in the distance, guarding the lamp.
The study room is not big, but there are always some places where the light does not shine.
So a voice came out of the shadows, "Lord Xun, your request is not too much. ”
The corners of King Liang's mouth outlined an arc.
Someone stepped out of the shadows and came as far as the light could reach.
He is a middle-aged scholar.
Xun Fang stood up and looked at it carefully for a long time before he sighed: "It turns out that you are here." ”
The middle-aged scholar nodded, "Your request is not excessive, I think His Royal Highness King Liang will also agree, but since Lord Xun is not willing to give in some more steps, then take more things out." ”
This sentence is very straightforward, since he is not willing to give in, he will take something more in exchange.
What else can the Xun family do besides being able to take out some treasury silver from the treasury?
King Liang is clear.
The middle-aged scholar also knew.
Xun Fang is also clear.
He didn't say anything, just looked at the middle-aged scholar and said with emotion: "After you fell off the list, the old man actually sent someone to find you, in fact, at the beginning, the old man wanted to marry the little girl to you." ”
Princess Qi, who was standing in the distance, was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at this middle-aged scholar a few more times, before she only thought that this person was King Liang's staff, but now it seems that it is more than that.
Chen Guokeju has been there since the founding of the country, but over the years, there have been so many unsuccessful candidates who have fallen to Sun Shan, but none of them can be famous as this middle-aged scholar.
Even this middle-aged scholar, before he walked into the examination room, everyone in Huaiyang City felt that he had to be the top spot that year.
After all, he was already famous in Chen Guo when he was a teenager.
Whether it is the ability to learn articles or the ability to govern, this can be called a young genius.
Even many ministers thought that after he entered the court, he would definitely be able to become the second Luan Xiangguo.
In the future, there will be more than just a place in the court
, and even stand in Luan Xiangguo's position.
It's just that Chen Guo already has a Luan Xiangguo, so it seems that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't need a second Luan Xiangguo.
In the imperial examination that year, he failed the list.
Everyone knew what was going on, but no one dared to say it.
So in that spring March, the scholar left Huaiyang City.
But any true genius will not be anonymous for a lifetime.
Now that I see him again in Huaiyang City, it should be a matter of course.
Xun Fang sighed and looked at King Liang, "His Royal Highness King Liang, the old minister has no doubts, and the Xun family is only the head of King Liang." ”
King Liang got up with a smile, "Xun Shangshu doesn't have to be like this, the Chen country after that is still the Chen country, the Xun family, naturally the Xun family." ”
Xun Fang smiled bitterly and did not speak.
King Liang turned his head to look at Princess Qi and said softly, "As for King Qi's side, he will trouble Princess Qi." ”
Princess Qi nodded.
King Liang got up satisfied, pushed the door and walked out.
The middle-aged scholar was not in a hurry to leave, he glanced at Xun Fang several times, and suddenly said: "Xun Lao Shangshu, fortunately, the younger generation fell off the list back then." ”
Xun Fang raised his head and was silent.
The middle-aged scholar left slowly.
Xun Fang sat down again.
He turned his head to look at Princess Qi and sighed lightly: "If His Royal Highness King Qi has such ambitions, why do our father and daughter need to rely on others." ”
Princess Qi's expression was complicated, and she didn't say anything after all, she just blew out the lamp.
It was dark again in the study.
——
There is a night ban in Huaiyang City, which is not a very unexpected thing.
Especially when the country was fighting against the Zhou people, the night ban in Huaiyang City was stricter for some time, but now it is okay, there are still two hours before the night ban.
The autumn wind is howling, and the Huaiyang at night is not warm.
But there are always so many hawkers who want to make a living, no matter how cold the weather is, they also have to survive, so the night market in the west of Huaiyang City is also very lively.
Under the light of the red lanterns, there was some hot food in the iron pot in front of the vendors, and it was very warm.
Li Fuyao, who was dressed in a green shirt, carried a sword box on his back, came to a relatively remote stall and sat down, and asked for a bowl of dumplings.
The dumplings are filled with pork and cabbage, and the vendor who sells dumplings is extremely kind, and a bowl of dumplings bought for a few pennies is thin and meaty.
Li Fuyao looked at the bowl of dumplings in front of him and didn't rush to put down the chopsticks.
Because the chopsticks were all pressed in the hands of the person opposite.
Li Fuyao looked at the person opposite, a little helpless.
Because that person was half a friend of his.
It's just that Li Fuyao never thought that he would be able to meet him in Huaiyang City of Chen State, according to his assumption, when they meet again, it should be the border of Zhou State, and he will see such a high-spirited young general among thousands of troops.
But since it's an idea, it's not a fact, and seeing this guy here, Li Fuyao also feels a little kind.
The person sitting opposite him now is not a bystander, it is the Xie family treasure tree, Xie Ying.
If you think about it, I haven't seen each other for two years.
Li Fuyao looked at the bowl of dumplings, and even looked at Xie Ying, who was much more resolute than before, and asked helplessly: "Why did you come to Huaiyang?" I think that if His Majesty the Emperor of the Chen State knew about it, the two thousand imperial forest troops in Huaiyang City would spare no effort to try to kill you. ”
Xie Ying rubbed his cheeks and said with a smile: "I also want to ask you, why don't you practice swords well in Sword Mountain, why do you go around?"
Li Fuyao didn't answer this question, he didn't want to say more about Jianshan's affairs.
Xie Ying pressed the family heirloom sword on his waist and said softly: "I'm not at the border, but I'm here in Huaiyang City, you must know what I'm going to do." ”
Li Fuyao frowned and said: "This is very risky, I found a monk in this city, the realm is profound, much stronger than me." ”
Xie Ying was silent for a long time, and suddenly said very seriously: "Now Da Zhou's situation is really not good. ”
