Chapter 574: Xuan Zhenzi's plan
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" A vigorous Taoist horn sounded from behind the screen, and when the traitors looked at it, they saw an old Taoist priest with white hair but a ruddy face walking out from behind, and snorted at the traitors in the room, "Xuan Zhenzi, an outsider, has seen all the adults!" ”
"Gen Zhenzi?" Although Li Bangyan knew that Zhao Ji was an out-and-out Taoist, and many officials in the court were also Taoists, but for some reason, he just didn't like these Taoist priests in Taoist robes, and he always liked to call them bull noses, and he didn't know how many times he had been taught by Zhao Ji, but every time he went out, he forgot it, and now when he saw Xuan Zhenzi dressed up, his brows wrinkled involuntarily, and no matter where he was now, he scolded loudly, "Bastard thing, what are you doing, don't you see that everyone here is an important minister, I'm waiting for the conversation to be narrated, where can people like you listen to, don't hurry back! ”
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!" Although Cai You and Cai Qian couldn't get used to Cai Jing favoring Xuan Zhenzi too much on weekdays, when it came to this meeting, the two of them still stood up in unison, "Li Bangyan, this is Taishi's Mansion, and it's not your turn to give orders!" ”
"If you are not satisfied, you can get out, people like you are not welcome in the Taishi Mansion!"
In the end, Li Bangyan was the left minister, and was scolded by the two juniors like this, where would he get by on his face, even if he turned red, he was about to turn his lips and ridicule each other, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Cai Jing sitting on the main seat, only then did he realize that he was in the Taishi's mansion, and he was busy snorting at Cai Jing, and said: "Shicai Kuniyan was speechless for a while, and he offended the Taishi a lot between his words, and asked the Taishi to forgive him!" ”
Although Cai Jing was also very dissatisfied with Li Bangyan's move, his city government was much deeper, and he knew that Li Bangyan was still of some use at the moment, so he just waved his hand lightly, "Zuo Xiang said and laughed, please take a seat!" ”
Li Bangyan saw that Cai Jing didn't seem to be joking, so he put down his heart and sat back on his seat, and when Li Bangyan sat down, Cai Jing said what he and the others had discussed before to Xuan Zhenzi again, and then asked: "Xuanzhen Daoyou, what should you do with this matter?" ”
When Xuan Zhenzi heard this, he shook off the dust with his right hand, and pinched his fingers with his left hand pretending to count it, and saw that he sometimes raised his eyebrows and smiled, and sometimes frowned, so that Cai Jing and the others also had their hearts up and down with the change of his expression, Cai You was a straw bag in the end, and he couldn't hold his breath the most, seeing that Xuan Zhenzi was just pinching his fingers there, and he didn't say a word for a long time, so he shouted anxiously: "Mr. Qiu, you have been calculating for a long time, but you are telling me, what have you calculated?" ”
"Evil barrier, don't you hurry up and shut up for me!" Cai Jing knew the details of Xuan Zhenzi, and knew that he was by no means an ordinary warlock, but had a real talent and real learning, and now when he heard that his unlearned son dared to collide with him like this, he was shocked and angry in his heart, and slapped a few cases beside him fiercely, and shouted and reprimanded.
"Father, you... You actually scolded me for this wild way of eating and drinking in our house? Cai You was stunned, his face turned red, and he pointed at Xuan Zhenzi and roared, "I'm your ......."
"Smack!" Cai Jing picked up a tea bowl from several cases, slammed it on the ground, and reached out to point out of the house, "Get out of here!" ”
"Father!"
"Get out!"
"Humph!" Cai You was helpless, so he had to glare at Xuan Zhenzi hatefully, vigorously shake off Cai Xuan, who stepped forward to pull him, and strode away.
"Xuanzhen Daoyou, my eldest son has made me spoiled, I don't know the mysteries of the Daomen, please don't meet him in general!" With an apologetic smile on his face, Cai Jing arched his hand towards Xuan Zhenzi.
When the traitors saw Cai Jing's action, their faces all changed greatly, only Gao Yu was normal, after all, this Xuan Zhenzi was recommended by him to Cai Jing, so he saw Xuan Zhenzi squeezing at Cai Jing and said: "The master is serious, but the poor Dao has some ideas!" ”
"That being the case, please come quickly!" Cai Jing showed a rare look of joy on his face, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Poor Dao thinks that such self-established rebels should be killed, and if they don't kill themselves, it is not enough for the people to be angry, and if they are not killed, there will be many people who will listen to the scenery in the future, and the rebels will be like a crucian carp crossing the river, and there are no ...... left" Xuan Zhenzi touched the short beard under his chin and said quite complacently.
However, when all the traitors heard this, their faces all showed displeasure, and they said in their hearts where we don't know what you said, and we need to know the solution, but because Cai Jing is here, they can only keep these thoughts in their hearts and dare not reveal them too much.
Cai Jing was also a little displeased when he heard this, but he knew that this Xuan Zhenzi had always spoken like this, so he was displeased at the moment, and asked: "But the pseudo-Tang forces are really good, when they were in Liangshan before, the imperial court was repeatedly conscripted, but the results were all returned, and now it occupies the land of Yanyun, and its strength is not what it used to be, how should the imperial court conquest?" ”
"Don't worry! Let's listen to the poor road slowly! Xuan Zhenzi appeased Cai Jing, showed a rather vague smile on his face, and arched his hand to the traitorous ministers, "I believe that everyone here must have a lot of money, and they hate those people in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty very much!" ”
"Humph!" Li Bangyan snorted coldly, although he didn't dare to attack because of Cai Jing's face, it didn't mean that he didn't dare to pick a thorn in Xuan Zhenzi, "Everyone here is an important minister of the imperial court, so what can you inquire about, or hurry up and tell me your method, don't delay your time!" ”
After Li Bangyan finished speaking, Gao Yu also opened his mouth to speak, but what he said was exactly the opposite of Li Bangyan, "Don't hide this Taoist, we have a bitter hatred with the puppet Tang bandit leader Li Junchen and Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others under his command, I am afraid that it will be difficult to wash away the water of the three rivers, and they must be killed first and then quickly, if they don't die, I am afraid that we will not be able to sleep and eat!" ”
"Taiwei's words, Poor Dao has already understood, but except for the bandit leader Li Junchen, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and a few other people, the rest such as Guan Sheng, An Daoquan, etc., I wonder if Taiwei also wants to put them to death?" Xuan Zhenzi still looked at Gao Yu with a slight smile on his face.
"Those people?" Gao Yu chewed on these names slightly in his mouth, and then looked at Xuan Zhenzi and said, "Don't hide it, Taiwei Ben doesn't have a good impression of these people, and he doesn't have any bad feelings, but since these people dare to rebel from thieves, it's better to kill them!" ”
"No, no!" Xuan Zhenzi shook his head, and saw that everyone here hated his straight teeth, "Taiwei's move is inappropriate, and it is very easy to cause rebellion in the hearts of the thieves, so that he will die with the court to the end, and when the time comes, it will cost money and food in vain, not to mention, it will increase the losses of the court exponentially!" ”
"So what do you say you should do?" Although this Xuan Zhenzi was recommended by Gao Yu to Cai Jing, he had lived in the Taiwei Mansion for a period of time before, and Gao Yu asked himself if he was not thin, but now this Xuan Zhenzi did not give him face like this, but it made him a little unbearable.
Xuan Zhenzi is also extremely proficient in Chaoyan and Guanse, and instinctively feels that Gao Yu seems to be dissatisfied with him, and his usual smile floats on his face, "Taiwei and don't be annoyed, listen to Poor Dao's words first," coughed lightly twice, and his voice also became very tempting, "Poor Dao thinks that in this pseudo-Tang force, except for a few bandit leaders and those who have a grudge against you, the rest of the people have to be thieves for various reasons, like these people, why don't you adults fight for it, or to move his heart with gold and silver wealth, or to lure his heart with the generosity of high-ranking officials, or to forgive sins and glorify the ancestors to shake their will, in this way, not to mention that they can attract all those who have no hatred and no grudges, at least those who are already thinking about the court, or those who are greedy for money and profit will definitely belong to the court......
"Haha...... You stinky Taoist priest is not there to talk and laugh! Before Xuan Zhenzi finished speaking, there was an unusually sharp laughter, and he saw Liang Shicheng sitting there, playing with his beloved jade ball in his hand, and said without raising his head, "You Taoist priest is so unreasonable, don't you know that the most hated person in the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty is the one who is most hated by the Saint today, no matter what reason they are attached to the Pseudo-Tang, but if they are attached, if they are taken over, where will you put the face of the Saint, if it is not in the face of the Taishi, but with your words, We can order someone to take you down immediately! ”
"Mrs. Liang's words are wrong!" Seeing Liang Shicheng reprimanding Xuan Zhenzi, Li Bangyan couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, he thought that Xuan Zhenzi would be relented, but he didn't want to see him bow slightly towards Liang Shicheng and say something that shocked everyone.
"Hahaha......" Liang Shicheng was stunned, and then burst into an unusually sharp and piercing laugh, pointing at Xuan Zhenzi and shouting, "Okay, you can tell Captain Ben well, where is Captain Ben, if you can't say that you are ugly today, you will blame Captain Ben for turning his face and being ruthless!" ”
"Taiwei, this ......" Cai Jing still values Xuan Zhenzi very much, and when he was about to explain one or two for him, he saw Xuan Zhenzi take two steps forward and bow his head towards Liang Shicheng, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, and please listen to Taishi and Taiwei!" ”
Cai Jing was also so angry that he couldn't speak, he glanced deeply at Xuan Zhenzi, that is, he stopped speaking, Xuan Zhenzi took Cai Jing's eyes into his eyes, smiled slightly, and said again: "What the Poor Dao said about the right people to lure those pseudo-Tang people to take heavy profits and bring them back to the imperial camp, not to bring them back to the imperial court, but to let them act as internal responses and vanguards when the imperial court sent troops to fight, and the imperial army only needed to wave the flag and shout in the rear, After the two sides are exhausted from fighting or one side shows defeat, the army of our court will immediately press on it in one fell swoop, or take down those who surrender to Cheng on the charge of unfavorable combat, or let the army be pressed down like Mount Tai, and take advantage of the situation to attack and plunder the cities of the puppet Tang Dynasty, all of which are beneficial and harmless, after all, the combat power of the puppet Tang Dynasty is so much, and one less one will die......
"Oh ho ho ho ......" Liang Shicheng listened, two fine lights flashed in his eyes, pointed at Xuan Zhenzi with a strange smile, and said to Cai Jing on the other hand, "Taishi, this Taoist priest is really too good for our family's taste, or you will endure the pain and cut your love when you are old, and let our family take him into the palace, so that you can have a companion with our family, I don't know what Taishi wants?" ”
Mo said that Xuan Zhenzi heard that there was a black line on his forehead, and even Cai Jing's old face was also darkened, but he knew that he couldn't offend Liang Shicheng too much, so he took two deep breaths at the moment, and then said slowly: "Lord Taiwei said that it was funny, several real people in the palace are real people who have cultivated promisingly, and that is comparable to Xuan Zhenzi, or leave Xuan Zhenzi with the old man, so that the old man can listen to the teachings day and night, and understand the mysteries of the Dao Law more, so as not to be rude in front of the saint in the future......"
"Oh ho ho ho ...... Let's go, our family still has to give the face of the Taishi," Liang Shicheng stroked his lips and chuckled, turning his head to look at Xuan Zhenzi, "Xuan Zhenzi, what you said is the same thing, but our family heard that there are many bandits with high martial arts in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and it is by no means only Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, and as far as our family knows, the land of Yanyun is a war horse, and although the imperial court can get some, it is not as good as the land of Yanyun after all, like this, even if the imperial court has the intention to send a large army to conquest, but in the face of such a situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to ask for benefits!" ”
"What the Captain said is very true!" Xuan Zhenzi bowed his head slightly towards Liang Shicheng, and his gaze turned to all the traitors, "I don't know if you have ever heard of such a sentence, the enemy of the enemy is the friend!" ”
"Hiss......" Cai Jing and Gao Yu glanced at each other with understanding, and they heard a trace of an inscrutable smile on Gao Yu's face, "Daoist Xuanzhen, could you please tell me in detail?" ”
"Obey the orders of the Captain!" Xuan Zhenzi shook his head slightly towards Gao Yu, "That pseudo-Tang now occupies the land of Yanyun, which seems to be a good place, but in fact it is a dead land, not to mention that he is the same as my Great Song Dynasty, even with the Jurchens further north, it is also incompatible ......with the Jurchens further north."
"According to the meaning of the Taoist chief, is it to send an envoy to the Jurchens, so that Wanyan Aguda will send troops from the north, and then my Great Song will send troops from the south to attack?" Gao Yu's face showed displeasure, "Don't you think that the important ministers of the imperial court such as me can't even think of such a simple method?" ”
"No, no, no, please let Poor Dao finish his words first," Xuan Zhenzi still had a smile on his face, so that Gao Yu couldn't get angry, so he could only continue, "This Jurchen is just a soldier and horse plotted by Poor Dao, and this second road soldier and horse is the party in the west, and now this party king Li Qianshun is an extremely greedy person, as long as he promises a certain benefit, I believe he will be ecstatic, and then send troops from the west to attack Yanyun, the third and fourth soldiers and horses are from the Western Army. The elite of the family army, as long as the party agrees to send troops, then the western army can temporarily not guard against the party, and can do its best to attack Yanyun from the southwest, plus the fifth road army that has risen on the side of the imperial court, I believe that the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, which only has a small piece of Yanyun, can resist this five-way army! ”
"Good! Xuanzhen Dao Chang really deserves to be a god in the world, with this five-way soldier and horse, coupled with the previous divisive plan, I believe that even if Li Junchen of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty has the ability to reach the sky, he can only be killed! Gao Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the case, and arched his hand at Cai Jing, "I don't know what the master wants?" ”
"What do you mean, ladies and gentlemen?" Cai Jing didn't answer, but his eyes swept over all the traitors.
"Everything is up to the master!" These traitors are all old traitors and cunning people, who don't know what Cai Jing means, so they got up and bowed their hands.
"In this case, those who are waiting for the court, all of you will follow this master to make a statement to the saint!" Cai Jing got up and arched his hand towards the north, and said in a decisive voice.
