Chapter 209 Step by step
Li Congshan stood up and personally made four cups of tea, first serving a cup to Chai Xinyue, then a cup to Murong Qiuyu and Xiao Han, and the last cup to Zhang Quanyue. After talking www.biquge.info for a long time, they were naturally thirsty, and after drinking tea together, Zhang Quanyue put down the teacup and said: "Ma Laosan's relatives helped take care of the funeral, and they were not angry in their hearts, so they sued Qingyang County, because Zheng Yuanwai was a famous rich man in Chizhou, and He County Ling did not dare to call the shots, so he asked them to come to the state to complain." β
Hearing this, Li Congshan suddenly interjected: "It seems that this wicked person is directly arrested and killed." Zhang Quanyue nodded and said: "I heard about this matter, first sent someone to investigate, and when I learned that this matter was true, I sent a messenger to arrest him. I was just about to go to the sea to catch papers, but someone came with the seal of the Prince's East Palace, ordering me to ignore the matter and let everyone go. β
Chai Xinyue suddenly said angrily: "The blue sky is white, Lang Lang Qiankun, is there really no place to be reasonable?" Li Congshan looked embarrassed, looked at Zhang Quanyue angrily and said: "You really let it go?" Zhang Quanyue smiled bitterly: "I am just a little thorn history, how dare I offend the prince, so I had to take out a hundred taels of silver to comfort the bitter lord and let those people go." β
Li Congshan was silent, his face pale. Zhang Quanyue smiled wryly and looked at everyone awkwardly. Xiao Han knew that these things were too common in ancient times, and they were not a big deal for the landlord class at all. Sometimes I think about being developed, and I also have an addiction to robbing the people's girls with evil slaves.
I used to just think about it, and when I heard these things with my own ears, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, since ancient times, the people have lived tremblingly, and the day is precarious, not only being exploited by the government and landlords, but also having to beware of being robbed of a beautiful daughter. The lives of the people are like grass mustard, and they are harvested at will, but fortunately they did not live in an ordinary farmer's house, otherwise they don't know what kind of tragic story they will encounter.
Murong Qiuyu suddenly said softly, "Where is Zheng Yuanwai now?" Xiao Han saw a cold light flashing in her eyes, and shook his head slightly. Murong Qiuyu's face changed slightly, and he stopped talking. Zhang Quanyue glanced at her, and then looked at Xiao Han, Xiao Han shook his head and said: "This matter involves the East Palace, it is inconvenient for us to interfere, the wicked have their own harvest, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, this matter has not been mentioned, we still have something to talk about." β
Li Congshan took out a document from the table and handed it to Xiao Han and said, "Master Xiao will take a look at this first." Xiao Han unfolded the document, and it was actually a piece of music. Xiao Han took a quick look, his face became more and more solemn, and at the end of reading, he suddenly patted the back of the chair and said: "With these mediocre bastards, great things can be done." β
It was attended by a chamberlain named Qin Hao in the Privy Council, to the effect that the crown prince was about to supervise the country, and asked the lord to gradually move the state affairs to the East Palace, so that the prince could familiarize himself with government affairs. The generals of the world's festivals will also go to the East Palace to meet and be loyal to the prince.
On the surface, this twist and turn is just Qin Hao's early allegiance to the future emperor in exchange for future glory and wealth, but in fact, it has a deep meaning. First, when the lord of the country saw that he was still alive, some people couldn't wait to be loyal to the prince, and they didn't know how to feel. Second, through this recital, we can see the movements of the ministers of the DPRK and China and their thoughts.
Li Congshan saw that he finished reading and asked, "Master Xiao can speak as bluntly as he can." Xiao Han sneered: "How did the lord deal with this recital?" Li Congshan was stunned, gritted his teeth and said: "The lord of the country has always been tolerant to the minister, and this recital is not sent, it was transcribed by the palace and brought to me." β
Zhang Quanyue sighed and said: "Although the song is not sent in the middle of the country, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government do not know how to learn about it, and they have gone to the East Palace to worship, and even Qianzhou, Jizhou, Raozhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou and other assassins and garrison generals have sent people to the East Palace to show goodwill, and now there are not many people who have not visited the East Palace." β
Xiao Han didn't expect the situation to develop so quickly, and pondered for a long time and said: "With all due respect, since the lord of the country has already set up a prince, it is not right for us to fight for the name again, for the sake of today, it is better to take the camp step by step, first encircle the military generals of the DPRK and China, control the military power, and after the lord of the country leaves Jinling, we must ensure that the Praetorian Guard and the Jinling defenders are in our hands." β
Li Congshan's eyes lit up, his hands clasped nervously, and he looked at Xiao Han and said: "This matter is already going on with Xiao Wang, Zheng Bin, the head of the Divine Guard, and Zhu Lingbin, the Marquis of Yu, the head of the Divine Guard, have a close relationship with Xiao Wang, and Miao Xun, the commander of the Tianxing Army, and Gui Yuanzhen, the commander of the Crane Army, also have a lot of contact with Xiao Wang. If the lord of the country leaves Beijing, if nothing else, the forbidden army and the six escort armies will soon fall into our hands. β
Xiao Han shook his head and said: "Don't be careless, if the lord leaves Beijing, he will definitely take away a large number of military guards, and the remaining Li Yu will definitely be replaced by his own people, and then he will lose all the games if he is not careful, now the lord of the country has been vigilant, if all the punished generals are transferred, how many chances do you have?"
Li Congshan's face instantly turned as white as paper, and he stammered: "Xiao Wang has neglected this, does Master Xiao have a countermeasure?" Zhang Quanyue pondered: "The lord of the country knocks on the ministers, and he must also have the heart of what Master Xiao said, and we must deal with it carefully." β
Xiao Han pondered: "Tianxing and Konghe are the two armies of the lord of the country, and they will take away one army at that time, and half of the six armies of Shenwu will be taken away, and now there are more than a month before the New Year, the first thing is to find out which troops the lord will take away and which troops to leave behind, so that we can have a target and carefully arrange." Not only that, but someone has to lobby Li Yu, don't make him suspicious, give birth to the idea of changing generals, and His Royal Highness must also enter the East Palace diligently, get closer to the prince, and dispel his doubts. This is a critical and sensitive period, and you can no longer easily contact the ministers and generals, if you have capable people, you can secretly make friends with the ministers and generals, and you must not leak a single penny, if you are not careful, you know the consequences. β
Li Congshan's face turned pale, and he nodded again and again: "What Brother Xiao said is very true, Xiao Wang used to be reckless, in a hurry, and showed his traces, but fortunately, Brother Xiao reminded him that Xiao Wang was taught." After speaking, bow respectfully and deeply to him.
Xiao Han hurriedly got up and helped him up and said, "Your Highness is polite, don't do this." You and I have intersected several times, fortunately, Xiao Mou dares not to do his best?" Li Congshan slowly straightened up, stared at Xiao Han with burning eyes, and said: "There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and there must be no subversion. β
Zhang Quanyue also said awe-inspiringly: "The battle of Huainan must not be repeated. Xiao Han looked at the two of them with resolute expressions and nodded appreciatively: "With this ambition, great things can be expected." There are many sages in the past: you can't make a fat man by eating in one bite, and Rome was not built in a day. Those who have achieved great things must not be in a hurry, and they will read the history books, so there are many fiascos. β
The two kept nodding. Chai Xinyue and Murong Qiuyu didn't expect that what the three of them discussed was such a big deal, and their faces had already changed. Chai Xinyue has personally experienced the change of dynasty, needless to say, her face is blue and white for a while. Murong Qiuyu's face was still calm, but his eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at Xiao Han from time to time.
Xiao Han didn't care about the two of them, and continued: "To do big things, you have to look at the right time, and when the time comes, you must not let it go easily." The two nodded, and Li Congshan asked, "Is it an opportunity for the lord to leave Beijing?" Xiao Han nodded: "Yes and no." When the lord of the country leaves Beijing, he will definitely leave a capable person behind, and the military power will definitely be fully recovered. β
Li Congshan pondered: "The lord of the country has always been strict with the left servant, and it is rumored that the lord of the country intends to let him stay in Jinling. This old man has a friendly relationship with the lord of the country, and has never interacted with the prince, and even the prince has refused to invite him to the East Palace several times to talk, which is a trouble. β
Xiao Han sneered: "As long as you are human, you have weaknesses, which is a trivial matter. For the sake of today's plan, I have a few suggestions, which you can refer to in detail. β
Li Congshan and Zhang Quanyue bowed their hands at the same time and said, "Please speak." Xiao Han Zhengse said: "First, secretly contact the forbidden army and the Divine Guard, no matter who stays and who leaves, you must firmly guard the right to fight to the death." Second, contact his ministers to write a letter to the lord and the prince to show their loyalty. Third, His Royal Highness personally begged to see the lord of the country, and begged to accompany him to the west. At the same time, he entered the East Palace to meet the crown prince and vigorously expressed his support for the crown prince's imprisonment. Fourth, spend a lot of money to secretly buy the subordinate officials of the East Palace, and you must know it as soon as there is a disturbance, and you must not become deaf and blind on the news. Fifth, send people to secretly collect beautiful paintings and calligraphy to give to the prince to stabilize his heart. Sixth, after the lord of the country left Beijing, His Royal Highness wanted to ask the prince for the post of guarding the palace, and personally led the troops on duty, and at the same time asked Li Yu to promote the subordinate officials of the East Palace to calm his heart. Seventh, His Royal Highness and Princess usually have to enter the Prince's Mansion to get close to the Crown Princess, and make a brother and concubine look like a blind date, Li Yu is a mediocre and cowardly, even if he hears about it, he will not bear to poison you. Eighth, after the crown prince has been in charge of the country for half a year, when the time is ripe, we will launch it again and seize power in one fell swoop. β
These eight points were said one by one, Zhang Quanyue didn't care about thinking anymore, and hurriedly found a pen and paper to write them down one by one and presented them to Li Congshan. Li Congshan's face flushed with excitement, looked at Xiao Han and said: "Brother Xiao is both civil and military, with this great talent, he can be the world's Zhuge and the ovary, I have Brother Xiao, and great things will be done." β
Zhang Quanyue joked: "These eight points are step-by-step, the military and political East Palace is comprehensive, Xiao Zhangmen is fortunate not to be in politics, otherwise looking at the world of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be a place for me?" Li Congshan laughed, Xiao Han didn't expect that people in the officialdom would shoot horses, and said with a dry smile: "Your Highness and Lord Zhang have a good reputation, I still like to be the head of my Wudang faction, being an official is too tiring, I can't do it." β
The three of them looked at each other and laughed, and Li Congshan asked, "Why wait until half a year later to be considered ripe?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes, hey, he was too proud just now, and he talked too much. The "Xiao Eight Points" just now came casually, naturally thanks to the TV series and books he watched in later generations, and any conspiracy and conspiracy came casually. As for launching a coup d'Γ©tat a year later, naturally he knew that Li Jing would die in August next year, and he couldn't tell him in front of his son that your father would be finished in August next year.
Seeing the two of them looking at him, Xiao Han suddenly closed his eyes, picked up two fingers and began to pretend to calculate. Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and looked at him blankly, Xiao Han suddenly let out a "huh", opened his eyes and shouted, "It's not good." β
