Chapter 990: Infighting
Since Li Zhongyi entered Dengzhou, he has never moved the place. He is not in a hurry, but some people are anxious and spend their days like years.
"Little Xuanzi, tell me, Li Wuji will neither let us go nor kill us, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" Meng Yao has lost his former reserve, as well as the style of the superior, and frequently asks Yang Xuan for advice.
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes and said in his heart, how can you and I, grandfather, know what Li Zhongyi wants to do?
According to Yang Xuan's guess, he estimated that Li Zhongyi was only afraid that he wanted to borrow the head of Meng Yao, the capital of the Inner Servant Province, to sacrifice the military flag, right?
Yang Xuan dared to think about it like this, but he didn't dare to say it directly, Meng Yao, the old boy, was a master who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
In case, Meng Yao didn't kill Li Zhongyi, then, it is very likely that his Yang Xuan's head will not be saved.
"Godfather, in the villain's opinion, Li Wuyi is probably worried that after he returns to the court, it may be possible for your old man to clean up." Yang Xuan played a trick and deliberately praised Meng Yao.
If it was before, Meng Yao would really eat this set. But now, he is in prison, life and death are uncertain, where is the heart to be happy?
"Stinky boy, you know how to slap your godfather's ass, hurry up and think about it. Otherwise, you and I, father and son, will not live long! ”
Meng Yao was reluctant to die at all, he not only bought many fields and houses in Kaifeng City, but also accepted seven beautiful concubines.
Of course, all this is an ugly deed secretly carried out by the Empress Dowager Fu. If there are still outsiders who know and cooperate closely, then only Li Gu and Li Xianggong are left!
Li Gu's thoughts, Meng Yao knows better than anyone else, doesn't he, Li Weizhen, just want to pull Fan Zhen off the horse and let him take over as prime minister?
But the problem is that Empress Dowager Fu doesn't like Li Gu's personality very much, and once privately commented on Li Weizhen: a person who tends to be inflammatory, enthusiastic about his career.
Meng Yao didn't have a brain to enter the water, so it was naturally impossible to tell Li Gu about Empress Dowager Fu's private words. However, this did not prevent Meng Yao from taking advantage of the monopoly of information in the palace to reap the benefits of Li Gu's hands.
It's just that this trip to Goryeo to preach the edict, Meng Yao originally pondered, first, he could take the opportunity to find out Li Zhongyi's true thoughts, and second, he could also take the opportunity to fight Li Zhongyi's autumn wind.
Nothing else must be said about it, Li Zhongyi's industry in the capital alone has many valuable transactions such as papermaking, freight yards, and money houses.
To say something ugly, casually leaking out of the cracks in Li Zhongyi's fingers is enough for Meng Yao to eat for a few lifetimes, how can he not be red and drooling?
Who would have thought that Li Zhongyi, relying on his fledgling wings and strong soldiers, would dare to openly detain angels, which is simply a reversal!
After Meng Yao sulked, he had to face the harsh reality, he had completely lost his freedom, and he could only let Li Zhongyi's "copper stink" slaughter.
Yang Xuan has been suffering from Meng Yao's wretched anger these days, and seeing that Meng Yao was deflated, a different kind of pleasure floated in his heart.
Yes, you really deserve it, so that you can bully people on weekdays, make enough money outside, and take advantage of the poor people in the palace, you really can't live by yourself!
"Godfather, or ......" Yang Xuan blinked his eyes, deliberately refusing to say anything.
Meng Yao scolded angrily: "When is it, you kid is still playing with my godfather?" ”
Yang Xuan was waiting for this sentence, he leaned into Meng Yao's ear, and muttered in a low voice: "Godfather, why don't you do this, the villain went out and said that you are very sick and need to ask Lang Zhong to see the disease?" ”
Meng Yao didn't squeak all the time, just stared at Yang Xuan coldly, and he repeatedly weighed the reliable ingredients in Yang Xuan's words in his heart.
Who Yang Xuan is, Meng Yao knows better than anyone else, what Meng Yao liked at that time was Yang Xuan's shrewdness and cleverness.
In case, after Yang Xuan went out, he sold Meng Yao, it didn't matter. If Yang Xuan revealed all the secrets in the palace to Li Zhongyi, then Meng Yao would have no room to turn over.
However, Yang Xuan's suggestion reminded Meng Yao that instead of sitting still, it was better to take the initiative to find Li Zhongyi. Even if it is a wrestling between the void and the snake, it is better than the game of death.
What Yang Xuan said happened to hit Meng Yao's life, he was Meng Duzhi, not Meng Caomin, his family had countless fields, shops were like clouds, and there were many beautiful concubines, how could he be willing to die generously?
In the past, Meng Yao was still somewhat loyal to the Empress Dowager Fu, but as time went by, Li Zhongyi became increasingly cold, and Meng Yao suddenly faced a dilemma.
If Li Zhongyi is not perfunctory, Meng Yao may lose his head immediately. However, if Li Zhongyi is perfunctory too well, it is very likely that he will not be able to get out of the whole body.
As soon as Meng Yao thought of this, his attention immediately focused on Yang Xuan's body. As long as Yang Xuan still has a little bit of loyalty, in the future, when Meng Yao pushes him out as a scapegoat, he can consider taking care of his family.
Yang Xuan only looked at the subtle changes in Meng Yao's demeanor, and knew that his godfather was already moved and planned to push him out.
Sure enough, Meng Yao suddenly sighed heavily and whispered, "I'm tired and don't know anything." He turned over and lay down on the couch, with his back facing Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan secretly sneered, what a Meng Yao, a good godfather, is so ruthless.
"Godfather, then I'm out." Yang Xuan still looked deferential, and saluted in a proper manner, and then went out backwards.
Li Zhongyi was reviewing the official documents in the festival hall, and suddenly heard that Yang Xuan had something important to see, he couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand, touched his chin and said, "Let's just say that I'm very busy now, I don't have time to pay attention to him, let him wait." ”
Previously, Li Zhongyi had been deliberately snubbing Meng Yao's master and servant, which was actually a copy of the eagle tactic.
If Li Zhongyi made a move too early, there would have been no gap between Meng Yao and Yang Xuan, but it would be easy to be misled by fake news.
Now, since Yang Xuan appeared alone, Li Zhongyi didn't have to be anxious, Chi Guoguo hung him out of the door, and the longer he was dried, the better the effect.
"Back to the master, Li Du commanded the envoy to ask for a meeting." There was a report from outside the door, and Li Zhongyi immediately ordered with a smile on his face, "Hurry up and let him in." ”
In the Li family's army, among the commanders and envoys, there is only one person surnamed Li, and that is Li Yunxiao.
Seeing Li Zhongyi get up, Ye Xiaolan and Han Xianglan, who were writing an abridgement on the side, also put down their pens and Yingying got up.
Ye Xiaolan, who gave birth to a son, has become bold recently, she squatted down with a smile and asked Li Zhongyi: "Master, it's inconvenient for the concubine and the Han family to see foreign men, right?" ”
Han Xianglan hated a lot in her heart, didn't she Ye Xiaolan just give birth to a son, what's the big deal, what is the strength?
Li Zhongyi didn't see the fighting method between the two women, he waved his hand and said: "Xiaosong is not an outsider, it is a brother and sister who is closer than my own brother." You first instructed the cooks to quickly set up a table of noodles, and then go back to accompany me to entertain the Xiaosong brothers. ”
"Whoa." After Ye Xiaolan and Han Xianglan squatted down at the same time to receive the order, they retreated from different directions and went to the kitchen separately.
Li Zhongyi saw this situation, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile, three women in one play, that is a woman's combat effectiveness.
Ye Xiaolan and Han Xianglan's combat effectiveness can be described as outstanding, and two women are enough to sing a big show!
"Master, I want to die a little one." As soon as Li Yunxiao came in, he beat his chest heavily and gave a standard military salute.
Li Zhongyi regarded Li Yunxiao as a brother who was closer than blood relatives, but Li Yunxiao did not dare to be so arrogant, and always kept his duty as a retainer.
"Hehe, I said Brother Xiaosong, but I haven't seen you for some days, where have you always made a fortune?" Li Zhongyi walked up to Li Yunxiao's side, raised his leg and kicked his buttocks with a smile.
Don't underestimate such a light kick, which suddenly alleviated the sense of alienation that she hadn't seen for many days, Li Yunxiao immediately grinned, and said generously: "It's been a long time since I've been kicked by my lord, and I was kicked today, and I was immediately comfortable." ”
Li Zhongyi laughed and scolded: "You kid, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become so flamboyant?" ”
Li Yunxiao looked at Li Zhongyi carefully, and after a while, he sighed: "The lord's body is healthy, it is really a blessing for the ministers." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu's body is bone-rooted, I don't dare to say that the ten daughters of the Japanese Imperial Palace, the third daughter is still fine." ”
Li Yunxiao has been by Li Zhongyi's side for too long, and he has completely mastered Li Zhongyi's living habits and temperament.
This powerful man, you praise him for his high position, but you don't necessarily like him. If you praise him for his ability in that regard, and clean up women like peers, then you are definitely the right farth.
Li Zhongyi is a human being, not a god, if he is a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires, and he is generally a powerful and lustful person, he not only has, but also a celebrity collector.
"Come, sit here, sit here. I knew you were coming, so I left your favorite tea. Li Zhongyi knew that Li Yunxiao liked to drink cold tea, so he put the pot of freshly brewed green tea he hadn't finished and put it in Li Yunxiao's hand, "Try it, are our tastes still so consistent?" ”
Li Yunxiao was not ambiguous, he directly faced the spout and drank all the cold tea soup in his stomach.
Li Zhongyi saw Li Yunxiao wiping the tea stains on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help laughing, and scolded: "This tea is a lot, knowing that you like to drink it, I ordered someone to prepare ten catties and let you take it back and drink it slowly." ”
"The lord, the subordinates are here, mainly for the sake of this batch of martial arts admission lists......" Li Yunxiao has always said something in front of Li Zhongyi, and never hid it.
After Li Zhongyi listened carefully to Li Yunxiao's thoughts, he reached out and stroked the teacup, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Clear rewards and punishments are the foundation of our army's foothold. ”
Seeing that Li Yunxiao still wanted to distinguish, Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said categorically: "For the way of the general, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness, especially in the army, faith and righteousness are the first priority, this faith is the military regulations and regulations, merit must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished, so it can be fair." The world does not suffer from widowhood, but only from inequality, and if I am unevenly distributed for a long time, the spirit of the army will be scattered, understand? ”
This is also Li Yunxiao himself came, in other generals, Li Zhongyi was too lazy to talk nonsense, and just kicked away.
Not only that, not long after Li Yunxiao took up the post of commander of the Third Army, he was worried about opening the back door and helping his old subordinates fight for promotions.
"Xiaosong, you are a busy person now, it is easy for the two of us to meet, so let's not talk about these disastrous things, let's go, drink." Li Zhongyi didn't wait for Li Yunxiao to respond, he raised his legs and left, even if Li Yunxiao understood, it was impossible for the master to open the back door.
Li Zhongyi's criteria for employing people are actually fundamentally different from the employment described in the book.
Employing people should be suspicious, suspicious people should be used, this is one of them!
The more people have real skills, the more self-confidence they have, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of small problems, or often unscrupulous words, which requires an open-minded mind in the master.
Also, set the rules of the game before employing people. The delegation of power, the supervision of the superintendent, and the lack of any change due to the depth of each other's personal relations, this is the core essence of the power that will never fall!
Li Zhongyi was marching outside, and Li Qiniang was in charge of the back kitchen, and soon, the cooks brought wine and food to the table.
Ye Xiaolan and Han Xianglan each counted the dishes they ordered, and then they both held the wine jug and walked to the table with a smile.
Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said boldly: "There are no outsiders here today, you all sit down and have a few more drinks with me and Xiaosong." ”
After Li Yunxiao touched a hard nail, her mood was somewhat depressed, but Li Zhongyi's unusually affectionate invitation to accompany her family to the banquet was a great favor and trust.
"Master, it's all wrong to blame the subordinates, it's the subordinates who want to be left, and they shouldn't run to break the rules." Li Yunxiao held the wine glass in both hands and bowed respectfully to admit her mistake.
Li Zhongyi waved his hand and scolded angrily: "Is there an end?" Don't I know your temper? Come on, let's punish ourselves with three glasses first. ”
Han Xianglan's eyes were sharp, she took the initiative to get up, poured three glasses of wine for Li Yunxiao, and when she put down the wine jug, she suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Xiaosong, Master Fang also said that you are closer than his own brother." The more you see the outside, the more uncomfortable your heart must be. ”
Li Yunxiao choked back tears, drank three glasses of wine in a row, and said angrily: "Master, the subordinate is a rough man, he can't speak, and he only has a small request. ”
Li Zhongyi nodded and asked Li Yunxiao: "If you want to get drunk and rest, then you can't do it." It's just a pot of wine, you're full of food and drink, get out of here. ”
said that there was only a pot of wine, however, Han Xianglan saw it very clearly from the side, Li Yunxiao, who could be called a large amount, said goodbye and went out, her feet were weak and her figure was shaking.
Li Zhongyi just ordered someone to put on the carriage, and told the relatives who came with him to take good care of Li Yunxiao, be careful all the way, and not make a mistake.
Early in the morning of the second day, Han Xianglan checked the waist card, and when she walked into the festival hall alone, she saw a banner on the ground. He stepped forward curiously and looked at it, but it was Li Zhongyi's handwriting: The thousand-mile embankment collapsed in the anthill, and it must not be noticed!
Han Xianglan, who was full of poetry and books, lowered her head and chewed on the connotation, and for a while, she stood in front of the hall.
