Chapter 511: A Visitor from the Wei Palace

Gao Song kept saying there that Li Zhongyi just listened silently and did not interject, which made Gao Song feel a little pressured.

Li Zhongyi actually listened very carefully, although Gao Song didn't say anything in a circle, what he meant in his bones was to encourage him to take the initiative to grasp the power of the court.

What Gao Song said, although it is suspected of being superficial, is also a forced vote. has such a big handle, pinched in Li Zhongyi's hand, Gao Song will never escape from Li Xianggong's hands from now on.

Although Gao Song intended to take refuge, Li Zhongyi did not immediately express his position, in this world, there are often thousands of horses, but there are very few Bole.

Li Zhongyi showed a kind smile and said, "Dequan, you are forty and eight this year, right?" ”

Gao Song's expression froze, yes, he was almost fifty years old, and Li Xianggong in front of him was the last straw he had a chance to grasp.

"Hehe, it's not early, come with me tomorrow to take a walk around the county." Li Zhongyi didn't say anything, but Gao Song's heart trembled, Li Xianggong really fell in love with him.

"Thank you for the cultivation of Xianggong, Dequan is willing to follow Xianggong, although the liver and brain are smeared, I will never give up." Gao Song seized the opportunity and showed his loyalty to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi tasted the sincerity in Gao Song's words, so he gently comforted and said: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sees the hearts of the people over time, Dequan, don't be in a hurry to say anything, I believe in my eyes." ”

Gao Song understood Li Zhongyi's hint, and hurriedly took his leave, "Xianggong has been tired of saddle horses all the way, please rest early." ”

After Gao Song left, Li Zhongyi returned to the inner room, but saw Wang Dahu sitting by the kang eating, he walked over quickly. patted Wang Dahu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother don't care about me." It's important to fill your stomach first. ”

Wang Dahu was like a whirlwind, and ate two large bowls of rice in one go. Put down the chopsticks and said: "Third brother, there has been an abnormal transfer of the forbidden army in Jingshi, I discussed it with the second brother, and agreed that something was wrong, so I rushed over." ”

Li Zhongyi's eyes looked at Wang Dahu with deep eyes, and asked him calmly: "Don't worry, what's going on, take your time." ”

"Because Li Qiong, the king of Kaiping County, suffered a defeat under Lin Huzi's hands. Therefore, there was a lot of discussion in the court, wanting to use Zhao Kuangyin to replace Li Qiong as handsome. Wang Dahu poured a sip of herbal tea and raised his hand to wipe the water stains from his mouth, "Some people also propose to use Shi Shouxin or Murong Yanzhao as handsome."

Li Zhongyi squinted his eyes, looked at the window flower carefully, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly smiled slightly: "They are all from the ten brothers of the Righteous Society." ”

Wang Dahu looked at Li Zhongyi a little nervously. Puzzled, he asked him: "If the military power falls into the hands of the Zhao family, how will you gain a foothold in the court, third brother, in the future?" ”

Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "As long as Your Majesty is alive for a day, there will be no such thing." This emperor's mental trick is very mysterious. In fact, it's just that everyone doesn't want to conspire with each other. ”

Wang Dahu blinked and said, "You mean." Your Majesty doesn't want the Zhao clan to have too much military power? ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "In Your Majesty's mind, send Han Tong to the south to take command." That's the right thing. ”

Having said that, Li Zhongyi still felt a sense of loss in his heart. With his close relationship with Li Qiong, when the day comes, as long as the bargaining chips are negotiated, Li Qiong's family will definitely not meet with him, and will stand in the same camp.

Alas, it's a pity, Li Qiong is just a clever politician after all, but he is not a famous commander who uses soldiers like a god, and he was defeated by Lin Huzi, a famous general in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Qiong led 80,000 forbidden troops to the south, and actually suffered a defeat, with Chai Rong's character, he would definitely not tolerate this kind of offense, and would definitely try his best to regain what he lost.

Today, among the ten brothers of the Yishe who are good friends with Zhao Kuangyin, all of them have military power, among them, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, Han Chongyun and Wang Zhengzhong and Zhao Lao Er have the strongest relationship.

Wang Xianqi, whose name is Zhongbao, was a native of Henan (now Luoyang, Henan), and later Zhou Taizu served as the commander of the Iron Cavalry in front of the palace. In the first year of Xiande (955), he followed the present to resist the invasion of the Northern Han Dynasty, promoted the iron cavalry to the Marquis of Yu, and changed the commander of the second army on the right side of the iron cavalry. In the third year of Xiande, he attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wang Xianqi captured Shuzhou (now Qianshan, Anhui), and was reappointed as the commander of the front division of the palace with merit. In March of the fourth year of Xiande, in the battle of Zijin Shanzhai (now southeast of Fengtai), Wang Xianqi led the army to ascend first, defeated the Southern Tang army, and commanded the right wing of the crane before the transfer of the palace; Later, in the battles of Haozhou (now northeast of Fengyang) and Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu), he made meritorious contributions, and Xiande was reappointed as the commander of the right wing of the iron cavalry in five years, and he has always been a subordinate of Shi Shouxin. In March of the sixth year of Xiande, he led the army to the north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Wang Xianqi was promoted to the former commander of the palace, Yuhou.

Han Chongyun, a native of Wu'an, Cizhou (now Hebei), in the first year of Xiande (954) and the "Gaoping Battle" of the Later Han Dynasty, was promoted to the commander of the Iron Cavalry in front of the palace, and is currently the commander of the Crane Army in front of the palace.

As for the rest of the ten brothers of the Yishe, including Yang Guangyi, Liu Qingyi, and Liu Shouzhong, they still only control the strength of a state, and their status is very different from Zhao Kuangyin, and their friendship is relatively weak.

However, with the support of the brothers of the Yishe, coupled with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on hand of Murong Yanzhao, the Zhao family is much stronger than Li Zhongyi in terms of military power, and the strength and weakness are abnormally clear.

Because of this, Wang Dahu immediately rushed to the court from the mouth of the palace attendant to report to Li Zhongyi for warning.

Li Zhongyi was in the court, and he really did not have the support of the powerful ministers. However, due to the existence of Xiaoyaojin Bazaar, many people in the palace have a secret relationship with Wang Dahu.

In this way, Li Zhongyi's grasp of the dynamics in the palace is actually far from the depth that outsiders can expect.

That's right, Li Zhongyi has been secretly cooperating with the eunuchs, and the benefits conveyed are very many, the investment is large, and the results are also very significant.

A lot of inside information in the deep palace of this Great Zhou is like a leak, and it continues to flow into Wang Dahu's ears.

Wang Dahu and Huang Jingsheng, that is Li Zhongyi who has burned incense and officially worshipped, are closer than brothers, hardcore brothers among hardcores.

Therefore, there were huge changes in the military affairs of the DPRK and China, and Wang Dahu personally rushed over so as not to delay the major event.

"Brother, I still have the same old saying, if Mount Tai doesn't collapse, we can't make any rash moves." Li Zhongyi played with the lid in his hand, and continued with a smile, "Whoever is in a hurry first will definitely be unlucky. ”

Wang Dahu nodded, showed a sincere smile, and said, "Cheng, you are in charge of these major matters, and Lao Huang and I will just listen to the orders." ”

After talking about the biggest event, Wang Dahu then gave a detailed introduction to the changes in the situation in Beijing in the past few days, "Han Tong began to exert force on the second child of the Zhao family...... Empress Fu was in a very bad mood yesterday and dropped a jade bottle...... A concubine suddenly died in Fan Xianggong's house, and he quietly dragged him to the mass grave at night and buried ...... secretly"

Li Zhongyi listened to it with relish, many small things in the eyes of outsiders actually hide amazing insiders.

For example, why is Queen Fu in a bad mood? You must know that this former concubine Niangniang, the current mother of the country, has always shown a virtuous and gentle side.

Wang Dahu and Li Zhongyi talked for a long time, and in the middle of the night, the two reluctantly said goodbye.

On the second day, Li Zhongyi, accompanied by Gao Song, walked for more than two hours along the official road to the north, and what they talked about specifically, except for Li Yunxiao, the little lady of Zhu'er didn't know the inside story.

After leaving Fengqiu County, Li Zhongyi ordered to go down and speed up the journey to the Daimyo's Mansion.

There is a change on the side of the Jingshi, and Li Zhongyi has to stay away from the place of right and wrong, so as not to arouse Chai Rong's suspicious eyes again.

Ten days later, they arrived in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, which borders the territory of the Daimyo Mansion.

After Li Zhongyi was temporarily settled, he heard someone outside the door: "If you go back to your grandfather, King Wei has sent someone." ”

Li Yunxiao took Li Zhongyi's hint, walked to the door, and asked his subordinates in a low voice: "Who is coming?" ”

"What was handed was the name of King Wei himself, and the person who came claimed to be the nephew of Prince Fu." Menzi's answer made Li Yunxiao nod secretly, this Fu Wang Ye is quite good at being a man.

Li Zhongyi also heard Menzi's answer clearly, he touched his chin, and thought to himself, Xiangzhou is not under the jurisdiction of the Daimyofu, and the civil and military officials under Fu Yanqing dare not cross the state border.

Well, if the person who came is really Fu Yanqing's nephew, then the face in etiquette is quite sufficient.

Fu Yanqing is the two fathers-in-law of today's sons-in-law, the fathers of the two queens, the maternal grandfather of the current crown prince, and the first person born to be crowned a prince in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In layman's terms, Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, is much more noble than Li Qiong's miscellaneous so-called Kaiping County King!

According to the rules of the imperial court, the Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States Period, Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, plus the title of Qin, were already the highest rank of the prince.

It's just that due to Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, the sensitive factor of unifying the mountains and rivers made the imperial court taboo and never granted it to anyone.

Under it, there are some titles of miscellaneous kings, such as the king of Ruyang, the king of Anyang, and the king of Hejian. This kind of second-class prince, because Chai Rong is more restrained, did not give it to his Chai family brothers.

Even Chai Rong's biological father, a tyrant in Luoyang, Chai Shouli, is just a marquis, and when it comes to the title, it is several levels lower than Li Zhongyi, the county duke.

The title is actually just a false name. Chai Shouli is just a little marquis, but he has the courage to kill people on the street in Luoyang.

The officials and officials in Wutai, no one dares to poke this hornet's nest, they have been pretending to be stupid, and no one dares to impeach Chai Shouli.

Don't look at Li Zhongyi is a well-known county prince, if he dared to kill people in the street, he would have been drowned by the saliva of the imperial historians.

"Well, please come to the West Flower Hall for a while." Since Fu Yanqing has done a great job on the surface, Li Zhongyi is based on the principle of courtesy and exchange, so he naturally wants to reward some face.

Li Zhongyi slowly walked into the West Flower Hall, high on the first seat, and tasted tea with low eyebrows.

After the nephew of the Fu family gradually approached, Li Zhongyi inadvertently discovered that the appearance of the person who came was eight points similar to Fu Yinyin. (To be continued......)
