4. Tian Yue cried on the high platform

Gu Congzheng was so angry that he kept silent.

At this time, Li Weiyue set his eyes on the military generals Wang Wujun and Wang Shizhen, father and son, but the other party sat in the turbulent crowd without any reaction.

Shao Zhen, the judge of the shogunate of the Chengde army, also walked out and made a generous statement, he pointed at the secret envoys of Wei Bo and Ziqing Erzhen, and angrily reprimanded: "It's all you and others who are demagoguing people's minds and forming troops in the imperial court to become a German army with me." ”

Many people chimed in, and the whole hall was full of noise.

The envoy of the second town was so frightened that his head was covered with sweat, and at this time Wang Tanu laughed, and hurriedly said: "Wei Bo and Ziqing just hope to mediate in front of the imperial court, and it is also a good intention to keep the Chengde military horn and the festival for Sima. ”

"Shut up!" Shao Zhen was angry and rushed to the crown, pointing at Wang Tanu, and then turned to the military Confucius Hu Zhen and Zheng Xu, so frightened that the three of them hurriedly covered their faces with their sleeves, and then Shao Zhen said to Li Weiyue bitterly: "Sima does not listen to the words of his relatives, doctors, and virtuous people, but he conspires with such domestic slaves and small officials day and night, Sima is in the midst of mourning, and he has to resist the edict of the imperial court, this matter is the disaster of destroying the door!" Now the envoys of the two towns can be tied up and sent to the capital to apologize to the imperial court. ”

On weekdays, Li Weiyue was most afraid of Judge Shao Zhen, but now he was frightened by his words, and hurriedly lifted his pen tremblingly, looked left and right, and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you send someone to ride a horse and chase Ban Hong back first?" ”

Who expected the shogunate chief Shi Bihua to stand up, "No, the first minister (Li Baochen) has been married to Wei Bo and Ziqing for more than 20 years, and the three have long been in the same breath, my town is in trouble, Tian Yue and Li Zhengji will fight to the death to protect me." And now, if the envoy of the two towns is tied up and sent to Beijing, the holy lord may not believe me, and Wei Bo and Ziqing will definitely turn against me, Zhu Tao will come from the north again, and become a German army embattled. ”

"That's right, Changshi is right." Li Weiyue laughed again, pointing at Bi Hua and cheering non-stop.

"Changshi is right, wow!" Wang Tanu, Hu Zhen, and Zheng Shu also shouted in unison.

"The second generation of the Zhang family (Li Baochen's original surname is Zhang) will be exhausted so far." Seeing that his nephew made a big mistake and embarked on the road of no return, Gu Congzheng sighed on his back, tears rained down, crying and leaving the military palace and returning home.

Shao Zhen also smoked with seven tricks, brushed his sleeves and left.

After his uncle's back left, Li Weiyue looked at Wang Tanu, and the two glanced at each other.

That night, Gu Congzheng was at home, and saw Wang Tanu with a group of tooth soldiers and surrounded his house.

There was a breaking sound, and when Wang Tanu's small eyes poked through the window of the Gu Mansion, he found that Gu Congzheng's face was blue, his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and he was curled up on the couch, and the ground was full of fragments of porcelain bottles.

"I committed suicide by drinking medicine." Wang Tanu looked at this scene with a serious expression.

Then, he couldn't help himself, poofed, and laughed triumphantly.

"This old slave should have died a long time ago, go and report back to the Wei Mansion quickly, and say that everything depends on Tian Gongshang (Tian Yue inspects the school engineering department Shangshu)!" After getting the news that his uncle was dead, Li Weiyue was overjoyed.

Three days later, there was a "big gathering" on the field of the school under the Xindu City of Weizhou, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tianxiong Army covered the sun with flags, people and horses neighed, and the drums on the podium sounded, and the sound shook the city wall.

Wei Bojiedu envoy, Shangshu Tian Yue of the inspection and engineering department, took an armor cloak and climbed the high platform, at this time, the drum beat stopped suddenly, and the eyes of countless soldiers were staring at Tian Yue.

As a result, after Tian Yue looked around, he actually knelt down with a puff.

"Don't do it!" At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tianxiong Army also knelt down like a landslide and a tsunami.

Tian Yue cried and hit the Mingguang armor on his chest with his fist, "The imperial court previously sent Hong Jinglun, the deposed envoy, to come to my Weizhou, saying that there are now 70,000 soldiers in our town, which has already exceeded the quota, and we want to sell 40,000 soldiers and return to my hometown to farm. ”

The soldiers were in an angry uproar.

"You, many of you are following the ancestors of the army all their lives, the old, the sick, the disabled, I regard you as brothers, and now I want you to return to your hometown, and you can no longer receive military salaries and clothes, what do you rely on to make a living, and what do you rely on to support your parents, wives and children! This kind of thing, Tian Yue, can't be done to death! After speaking, Tian Yue howled and cried, and kept knocking on the ground on the podium with his head, even bleeding all over his forehead.

Tens of thousands of Dr. Wei's soldiers also cried loudly, and the cry went straight to the sky, when someone shouted: "I have received the kindness of the Tian family for two generations, and I can't accept the discord of the imperial court. ”

"The order of the imperial court, dare not obey!" Soon, thousands of arms were raised.

Wei Bo has long been accustomed to fighting with the imperial court officials and soldiers, and his position has always been the most unruly and stubborn.

After all, "the son of Chang'an, the tooth soldier of Weifu".

"Everyone's great kindness, a toothless unforgettable." Tian Yue raised his head and exclaimed gratefully, and then said: "I am willing to give all the wealth to the soldiers, but I ask you to work hard with your lives, as long as you capture Xingzhou, Cizhou and Linhao, the greater reward is still to come." ”

In fact, these hundreds of thousands of money and silk were brought by Hong Jinglun, the imperial court's deposed envoy, for Tian Yue to sell his troops, and asked Wei Bo to hand over his household registration map and armor, and then pay taxes and return to obedience, but Tian Yue disobeyed: he agreed on the surface and accepted the money and silk needed to sell his troops, but in a blink of an eye, he took it out again to entrap the soldiers and instigate them to become enemies of the imperial court.

Immediately, the military treasury of the Wei Mansion was opened, and the soldiers cheered, collecting money and cloth one by one, and then fiercely wanted to fight the court to the end.

After nightfall, the hall of the Wei Mansion was also brightly lit, and all the generals wore armor and held swords, and after entering the hall, they gathered around Tian Yue, and after stabilizing the morale of the army, they discussed how to resist the imperial court.

Tian Yue has no servants next to him, only personal soldiers, and the curtains behind him are not heavily colored and splendid, all made of half-used linen, and there is a map in front of him, drawing the traffic arteries of the entire Heshuo area.

He was surrounded by General Wei Bo, Lu Zichang, Yang Chaoguang, Kang Su, Meng Xiyou, Li Changchun, etc., as well as Tian Xu, the envoy of the soldiers and horses who commanded the Wei Mansion's Ya soldiers, who was the sixth son of Tian Chenghei and his own son.

However, before Tian Chenghei died, he still gave the position of the envoy of the festival to his nephew Tian Yue, and did not pass it on to his sons. Then Tian Yue asked Tian Xu to lead the tooth soldiers, and he trusted him.

During the discussion, Tian Yue pointed to the location adjacent to Linwei City, "Xing and Ci Erzhou, located east of Taihang, are connected to Li Baozhen's Shangdang and Ma Sui's Taiyuan, as if the eyes are in my Wei Bo's belly, and Linwei is the core of these two eyes, and these three places must be taken." ”

"You're right!" Tian Xu, the envoy of the soldiers and horses, was only seventeen years old at this time, and his voice was still very sharp, so he immediately responded to the peace.

The other Wei Bo generals also nodded.

Just when Tian Yue was preparing to carry out tactical deployment around the "capture of Linyu City", "It's late, it's late, I'm old, my body is not good, alas." At this time, a thin old man, wearing almost overwhelmed armor, walked up the steps of the middle hall with his body stilted, and came to Tian Yue talking to himself, and then bowed his head, the old man's sideburns were worn out, and only a small piece of hair was left in the bun, which was erected on the half-bald head, which looked particularly funny, "Beizhou Thorn Shi Xing Cao Jun is late, don't blame it." ”
