Chapter 398: Protector Mage
When he returned to the mansion, he saw that Wang Ping, Zhu Yu, Ning Caichen and other scholars with the help of the mansion had gathered in the lobby, as if they were waiting for Li Xiuyuan's arrival.
"Brother Li, we have already heard about Li Liangjin's rebellion. ”
"Yes, I really didn't expect this Li Liangjin to gather a crowd to rebel, he is really ashamed of his ancestors. ”
"Brother Li, I heard that you went to the Yamen, what did Master Fu say? When will you lead the troops to quell the chaos? ”
These scholars said anxiously that they were very concerned about the national affairs in front of their homes.
Li Xiuyuan roughly said what happened in the yamen before, but everyone was shocked.
"What? Master Fu has no right to transfer troops, and he still needs to start the imperial court, this time it will be more than a month, let alone two or three months, and Li Liangjin will not know where to lead the troops to fight by then. ”
"The military camp outside the city claims to have 200,000 garrisons, which can control all the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, but at present, there are only 30,000 thieves and bandits, and Lord Fu has no confidence at all. ”
"Brother Li, you and I will go to the capital to sue the emperor, it is bound to expose the corruption in Yangzhou, and let Your Majesty severely punish these corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”
Wang Ping and Zhu Yu were filled with righteous indignation, and they hated those corrupt officials.
Jiangshan Sheji was corrupted by these people.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's too late for the imperial court to send troops to quell the chaos, I have a way and I need everyone's help." ”
"Brother Li, what can I do?" asked Zhu Yu.
Li Xiuyuan said: "My Li family has money and food, and can also recruit village warriors to form an army, but there is a lack of a position of guerrilla general. ”
"Brother Li wants to abandon the pen and follow Rong?" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Shouldn't I be the kind of person who is greedy for fame and fortune, but I have begged Fu Tianqiu for the position of guerrilla general before, and he rejected me on the grounds that I did not use power for personal gain, and I am not good at persuading, after all, Master Fu is correct in insisting on the concept." ”
When the crowd heard this, they were in awe.
When a scholar comes to this point, it seems that he will be able to become famous immediately, and who is willing to abandon his pen and bury his future.
Zhu Yu seemed to be stimulated at this moment, stood up and first saluted Li Xiuyuan, and then said seriously: "Brother Li, your concept and ambition make me admire, Brother Li is willing to spend all his family wealth to recruit the villagers to save the country and save the people, what do I Zhu Yu regret this, please Brother Li give me 30,000 taels of silver, I know a clan uncle, who is an official in the capital, if the money is enough, you can buy some idle official positions, and the position of a guerrilla general is definitely not a problem." ”
"Is this true?" Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.
"There is no lie. Zhu Yu said.
When he went to the capital to buy officials, he was bound to curry favor with some officials in the capital, and he was just a show of talent, so it can be said that his reputation was stinky, and even if he was admitted to the examination in the future, he would not be reused by the imperial court.
Therefore, Zhu Yu said that he would not hesitate to do so, not empty words.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I will give you 50,000 taels of silver, you must ensure that this matter is foolproof, and please Brother Zhu must get the matter done." ”
"Please rest assured, Brother Li. Zhu Yu said.
"When are you leaving?" asked Li Xiuyuan.
Zhu Yu said, "The sooner the better, today." ”
"In that case, let's leave today, Ma Dong. Li Xiuyuan snorted.
"Great young master. A man appeared outside the door and arched his hand.
Li Xiuyuan said: "You, Niu Er and Wu Fei brought 50,000 taels of silver to escort Zhu Yu to the capital, and it is extremely important to ensure Zhu Yu's safety on the way, so you will set off today, go and return quickly." ”
"Yes, young master. Ma Dong answered, and immediately went to prepare the horses.
"Please also ask Brother Li to wait for my good news. Zhu Yu said.
Things were really urgent, and about half an hour later, Ma Dong, Niu Er, and Wu Fei took 50,000 silver tickets, escorted Zhu Yu and left Jinling City quickly, heading in the direction of the capital.
"The sword-wielding ghost king took a number of Yin soldiers and escorted them all the way. ”
Li Xiuyuan didn't just let these three people go on the road, but also sent a number of sword-wielding ghost Wang Yin soldiers to follow them all the way to ensure that nothing went wrong.
There are demons and monsters everywhere in this world, and if there is no escort from the ghost king, he is afraid that Zhu Yu and them will not be able to reach the capital.
And just a few days later, there was an 800-mile urgent letter from Jinling City to the capital and sent to the court.
This is the chapter of the Son of Heaven played by Fu Tianqiu, the squire of the military department, and it is written about Li Liangjin's rebellion.
On this day, at the court meeting, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the court hall to discuss this matter.
"The son of Li Hou in Yangzhou, Li Liangjin gathered a crowd to rebel, what do you think of this matter?"
In the golden hall, on the dragon chair, a white-faced, loose-skinned, listless middle-aged man sits on it, he is wearing a dragon robe, there is no emperor's coercion, but there is an elegant temperament of a literati, but he looks energetic, I am afraid that he is addicted to women, and his body is not healthy.
"The official's family, Li Liangjin grew up watching Weichen, his character Weichen knows everything about it, with his temperament, he will never dare to betray the court, let alone raise an army to rebel. An official couldn't help but walk out and said righteously.
"It's Li Aiqing, remember that you are Li Liangjin's uncle. Zhao Guanjia glanced at it and said slowly.
A cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the official surnamed Li and said: "Back to the official's house, although Weichen is Li Liangjin's uncle, he dares to guarantee Li Liangjin with his life, and he will never dare to rebel. ”
"The official's family, this matter also feels strange, didn't Lord Fu go to Jinling City to deal with the flood, now the flood has subsided, but Lord Fu is still in Jinling City, and suddenly 800 miles urgently sent a chapter saying that Li Liangjin rebelled, and asked for an order to let the housekeeper order to supervise the army and lead the army to quell the chaos, this word is too anxious, the official family still needs to be cautious, there are 200,000 troops stationed outside Jinling City, if it is the official holy decree, Fu is not in charge of the 200,000 army. An official stepped up.
"The minister agrees, I'm afraid that Fu Tianqiu has given birth to a different heart, slandering the minister's nephew to rebel, in order to hide his evil intentions, the minister thinks that this rebellion is fake, Fu Tianqiu wants to seize the 200,000 troops outside Jinling City is true, after all, the court has not received the slightest hint of rebellion until now,"
That Master Li spoke again next time, "I also ask the official family to issue an edict to remove Fu Tianqiu from his official position and escort him back to Beijing, and when Fu Tianqiu arrives in the capital, everything will naturally fall into place, if Fu Tianqiu does not respect the holy decree, it must be anti-will." ”
The minister agreed. ”
Xia Guan also agreed. ”
As soon as these words came out, officials who echoed them for a time abounded, and no one cared about Li Liangjin's rebellion.
Because they all felt that it was impossible for Li Liangjin to rebel at all, and at this time, they would offend this Lord Li.
After all, the rebellion is to connect the nine clans.
"National Teacher, what do you think of this matter?" Zhao Guanjia suddenly asked a kind mage next to him.
The mage looked like a monk, squinting his eyes and standing there with his hands folded, like a sculpture.
"I am a monk, and I shouldn't be in charge of major affairs of the state, since Your Majesty has asked, then I will dare to say more, there is nothing in the affairs of the court that you do not understand, and since you all have the same opinion, it must not be wrong. The national teacher said with a smile on his face.
Zhao Guanjia nodded: "Just follow what you Aiqing said, dismiss Fu Tianqiu, escort him back to Beijing, and if there is nothing else, retire from the court." ”
A major event of Li Liangjin's rebellion turned into a struggle between officials above the imperial court, and no major national event was as important as the struggle for their rights.
After the retreat from the dynasty.
That Master Li saw the national teacher who was about to leave and hurriedly said, "National teacher, please stay." ”
"Is there anything else going on, Lord Li?" said the national teacher with a smile.
"Thank you for the help of the national teacher, the lower official knows that the national teacher has been alchemy recently, and there is a shortage of gold and silver, and the lower official will send two thousand taels of gold to the Cihang Hall of the national teacher later. Master Li said with a somewhat flattering smile, "I will ask the national teacher to take care of me in the future." ”
The national teacher clasped his hands together and smiled slightly, but he didn't say a word.
