The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Han put his sword into the sheath, and arched his hand: "Please come into the house and talk." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Li Congshan smiled: "You and I don't have to be polite. The two entered the room together and sat down as guests. Li Congshan asked: "Are you still used to living in this house?" Xiao Han smiled: "Natural habits, eat well and sleep well, what is not satisfied with this kind of day?"

Li Congshan said with a smile: "Brother Xiao's good mood and kindness make the younger brother admire." The two exchanged a few words, and Xiao Han said: "I heard that the lord of the country is about to leave, I don't know which day to choose?" Li Congshan said: "Qin Tianjian has already reported the date, and it is scheduled to travel west on the sixteenth of this month, which is only five days away. ”

Xiao Han pondered: "What is your relationship with Li Cunjia now?" Li Congshan's face showed a slight unbearable look, and he hesitated: "The sixth brother has always treated me well, and he has never cared much about the government and politics, and I heard that he once recommended me to my father as the crown prince." ”

Xiao Han said coldly: "Are you soft-hearted?" Li Congshan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's not what I mean, I'm just thinking that if one day my brothers turn against each other, can I place him in a quiet place and live a life without fighting with the world." ”

Xiao Han was silent, this assumption is too naïve, which shows that Li Congshan's heart is not decisive enough, he only sees Li Yu's affection for him, but he can't imagine the cruelty and ruthlessness of politics. Once you embark on this path, what father-son affection, what brotherly kindness, all like the sunrise and snow disappear.

Xiao Han looked at him coldly and said, "Since you can't bear it, it's too late to stop now." Li Congshan's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said: "It's too late to turn back, now dozens of courtiers and generals are secretly defecting to Xiao Wang, and stopping it now will only bring ruin to these people." ”

Xiao Han sneered: "Whether it is a Wenchen or a military general, all of them are ghosts and ghosts, how can there be any catastrophe? As long as you stop, they will immediately desperately tie up Li Congjia, and then betray you without hesitation in exchange for preciousness." Li Congshan's face was embarrassed, and he said softly: "I naturally understand this, so I came to ask you for advice." There is another good news, the meaning of the prince's words is to let me and the right servant shoot Yan Xuyan and the old master to take charge of the Privy Council together, as if I have already reported to my father. ”

Xiao Han nodded lightly, frowned and asked, "The Privy Council is in charge of the military and political affairs of the whole country, but it is a department with real power. As the prime minister, Yan Xugui naturally has no time to manage these rude soldiers, as long as he grasps it properly, the military power can be firmly in our hands and lay a good foundation for future actions. ”

Li Congshan's face was triumphant, and he said: "Last time, I sent someone to send a letter to Brother Xiao, and after listening to Brother Xiao's analysis of the current situation, the younger brother thinks that whether it is Wuping or Nanping, we can all try according to the method you mentioned. ”

Xiao Han saw that he was steadily advancing according to his own steps, and he was proud in his heart, and said lightly: "Everything must be done in secret, never underestimate other people's thoughts, if you are not careful, there are too many things that you will lose all over the world, and we must not make similar mistakes." ”

Li Congshan said: "That's natural, Wuping and Nanping are too close to my Jiangnan, and they must not be easily annexed by the Great Song Dynasty, even if Brother Xiao doesn't say anything, I also know that if that day comes, it will not be far from my Jiangnan country." ”

Xiao Han smiled silently, Li Congshan glanced at him and continued: "There are already seven assassins in 19 prefectures, 3 armies, and 108 counties in the country, and one army commander, and forty-six county orders have surrendered to this king. There were few courtiers, only Xu Xuan, a scholar from the middle school, Sun Hong, a waiter from the Ministry of Rites, Zeng Yanshu, a waiter from the Ministry of Officials, Du Yu, a priest from the Guozi, and Chang Xun, a member of the Ministry of Works. There are quite a lot of generals, accounting for half of the officers in the capital, and even the deputy commander of the East Palace Guarding Tianxing Army Ling Hutuo was won over by Xiao Wang, as long as his father drove off, King Wu will definitely hold the state government, when something happens, all arrangements Xiao Wang is waiting for Brother Xiao to arrange. ”

Xiao Han was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "Do you really believe me, will you really listen to me?" Li Congshan said without hesitation: "Xiao Wang swears to the sky, absolutely obeys his words, and if he violates it, the sky will abandon it." Then he said: "Little sister can be a guarantor from this, even if Xiao Wang's words are not credible, little sister, you will always believe it, right?"

Knowing that he would take Li Yueying out to talk about things, Xiao Han said helplessly: "Okay, don't talk about your little sister again, I believe it is." Li Congshan smiled and said: "My father has ordered my little sister to accompany me, and now I am preparing my belongings, I can arrange for you to meet." ”

Xiao Han's heart moved, and he smiled: "Thank you so much, to be honest, I haven't seen her for a few days, I really miss her." Li Congshan said with a smile: "My little sister has been restless in the palace for a day, if it weren't for Gonggong Meng guarding her, she would have left the palace a long time ago." Laughing to himself, Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Li Yueying's restlessness in the palace.

The two laughed, Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and said: "Big things can be expected, you must not be in a hurry, as long as the lord of the country sets off and the military power is in hand, you can train in the strong army across the country and prepare to deal with future crises." I won't tell you that the Great Song Dynasty has established a naval army, and it is the idea of sending troops to Jiangnan one day. ”

Li Congshan changed color and said: "This little brother has also heard of it, and he also suggested to his father to step up the training of the army, but the father blindly evaded, had no intention of training, and the army's spirit was unstable, so the matter was over." ”

Xiao Han sneered: "What would your sixth brother do if he knew about this?" Li Congshan smiled bitterly: "I also mentioned to him that the sixth brother didn't care, but said that they practiced theirs, what does it matter to us." ”

Xiao Han sighed secretly, with such a monarch, there is no reason for the country not to die. Li Yu is a famous monarch of the dead country in history, except for the wind and the moon, he is like an idiot when it comes to governing the country. It seems that I really have to work hard to see if I can influence the trend of history.

Xiao Han looked at Li Congshan, who was urgent, and said seriously: "Before the lord of the country leaves, you must be careful to restrain your deeds, do not show a trace of flaws, after you set off, get the military power, and then come to me to get the training plan." At the same time, we must clear all the detailed work sent to Jinling by all the nations, and we must not let them know our intentions. ”

Li Congshan's face was solemn, and he nodded solemnly: "The junior brother has also thought of this, one is to get the military power, the other is to eliminate the spies, and then what?"

Xiao Han said solemnly: "The third is to welcome the prince, so that he can completely rest assured of you, so that it will be convenient for us to do things." Li Congshan said: "The sixth brother has always been good to us, and this is easy to do." Xiao Han continued: "The fourth is to contact the northern Han State and the Great Liao, promise a lot of money, and let them continue to harass the Great Song border, and the Song soldiers will definitely go all out to guard against it." The Song army has only 200,000 people, and the Han army has 50,000 or 60,000 people, but the strength of the Great Liao is enough to surpass the Song army by two times. ”

Li Congshan's eyes lit up, and he said with a relaxed heart: "In this way, Song Jun's eyes are naturally focused on the north, and there is no time to look south, so we just let go and do things." Xiao Han nodded and said: "This matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, Da Liao is now protecting the Northern Han Dynasty and living in peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and has no intention of fighting at all. ”

Li Congshan frowned and said: "Brother Xiao, please speak up, as long as the junior brother can do it, dare not do his best?" Xiao Han pondered: "Let me think about this matter again, the time is still early, and it is not too late to discuss everything when the country's main car leaves." ”

In order to gain Xiao Han's trust, Li Congshan tried his best to confess his respect for Xiao Han, and retold Xiao Han's deeds on the rivers and lakes, and praised him as a martial arts wizard who is rare at home and abroad.

Although Xiao Han was thick-skinned, he was also praised by him so that his old face turned red, and he finally stopped him, and the two gossiped for a while, and Li Congshan retreated. Xiao Han lay back on the bed and began to think that he was really on the thief ship now, even if it was for Li Yueying, he had to go all the way to the dark.

Staying until the evening, Li Congshan hurried over with an embarrassed face, and told Xiao Han that Li Yueying was left in the palace by the lord of the country and couldn't get out for a while, and told him that in order to curry favor with the Great Song Dynasty, the lord of the country had ordered him to send the Great Song Dynasty again and contribute money and property to please the Zhao family.

Li Congshan's face was helpless and angry, and Xiao Hanwei knew the meaning after thinking about it. Li Jing must have known some of Li Congshan's intentions, but there was no clear evidence, and he was afraid that as soon as he set off, Li Congshan's stay in Beijing would be unfavorable to Li Congjia, so he temporarily sent him out. When everything is arranged properly, Li Congshan comes back from the Great Song Dynasty, Li Yu has officially supervised the country, and he is assisted by the old prime minister Yan Xu, and Li Congshan, the king of Zheng, can't make any big waves at all, and then he can only obediently cooperate with the prince, and the brother is in harmony, which is the most ideal result in Li Jing's heart.

After coming here for more than a year, Xiao Han didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, don't look at Li Jing as a soft egg, but the villain is also the king of a country, and there are still some means. This is also the reason why he repeatedly warned Li Congshan to keep a low profile, and now it seems that Li Congshan's envoy is not necessarily a bad thing, as soon as he leaves, Li Yu will be in charge of the country, and the world will be peaceful, which is the best time for him to make a move.

Ahh

Thinking of this, Xiao Han pretended to ponder and said: "The lord of the country has arranged like this, I must have doubted you, if you believe me, you will leave a token to authorize me, and I will help you clear all obstacles, and when you come back from Jiangbei, you can sit back and enjoy the results." ”

Li Congshan hesitated slightly, and said with great joy: "This is very good, it is much better than the younger brother to have Brother Xiao's direct command." Then he took off the jade pendant from his body and said: "This is the jade pendant given by the lord of the country, everyone in the court knows it, and I will hand over a list to Brother Xiao in a while, no matter who is used, as long as the jade pendant is displayed, they will naturally obey the order." ”

Since Li Yueying followed him to the rivers and lakes, Xiao Han couldn't help but see himself as the son-in-law of Li Jing in Jiangnan, and Li Yueying and Li Congshan had a close relationship, so they naturally regarded him as their own. The same was true for Li Congshan, who hurried back to the front yard and handed over to Xiao Han with a piece of paper full of names and positions.

The two of them had no more nonsense, Xiao Han took a look, put away the jade pendant and the list, and asked Li Congshan to send him and the Wudang faction out, and found an inn to live in the east of the city.

The seventh son of Wudang was very happy to see his master again, and Chu Tianshu and Jiangdong Pavilion were the same, everyone got together to talk about the day before yesterday, and they all felt that the turmoil in the rivers and lakes was getting bigger and bigger, especially Shen Zidu's re-emergence from the mountain, which meant that a new round of bloody rain and bloody wind would begin again.

Sure enough, three days later, news came from the rivers and lakes that Qingsha Shenzi was looking for something in the rivers and lakes, and all those who stood in his way were killed by him with one move. The baby son of Qin Shaoqing, a large landlord in Hongzhou, was immediately killed by him because he collided with Shen Zidu on horseback.

This battle was quite tragic, and the result went without saying, Shen Zidu washed Qingyuan Lane in Hongzhou in blood, planning to kill 123 members of Qin Shaoqing's family, 112 people from Kuaiya, and 39 innocent people. The Hongzhou defenders and Zhennan Jiedu made Li Shaoguang so frightened that he almost hanged himself, and dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to encircle and suppress Shen Zidu, who knew that Shen Zidu had long since disappeared.

Hongzhou assassin Shi Bian Zhao had this incident at a critical moment, and immediately suffered a stroke hemiplegia, but fortunately, the treatment was timely and the recovery was not bad, and finally the case was hastily closed with the mountain bandits' revenge and murder. The matter in Hongzhou is not over, Raozhou followed the accident, Shen Zidu went to a town market to buy baked cakes in cloth clothes, was ridiculed by two rich ladies, and in a fit of anger, slaughtered the entire street, killed more than 70 people, and reported to the county to protect the county, and when the county government soldiers came, they only saw a dead body.

When Xiao Han heard these news, he thought of the situation where Shen Zidu fought the black cattle herd alone, and he was so frightened that he was sweaty and heavy, fortunately he had some friendship with Murong Qiuyu, otherwise he would not be enough for him to kill.
