Chapter 685: Sit upright

Liao Hui was a little trance, a little frightened, and more happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he violated the law, he had not stepped on the line, so he had a long talk with Wang Hou pretending to be drunk today. And the dignified official Shangshu actually pretended to be drunk to discuss some things with him, which also shows that the imperial court's judgment of the situation in Zhengyang County has reached a very bad level, and the imperial court no longer trusts Zhengyang County at all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe a handful of cold sweat. Li Wei, Ge Xiang and others thought that things had been done seamlessly, but they didn't know that they had already been investigated by the imperial court, and even when they met with whom, they were all investigated clearly, so they couldn't bear it, I'm afraid it was not just the reason Wang Hou just said.

He faintly felt that the imperial court and His Majesty were preparing for a huge game of chess, and he, Li Wei, Ge Xiang, and even the emperor of the barbarians and Jiang Haokun of Fuyuan would become the chess pieces on this chessboard, and the person who moved the chess pieces was naturally sitting in Yuejing City, the young emperor.

Although this majesty is young, he is very good at this kind of long-term layout, strategizing, and then making a move to get what he wants. This point can be glimpsed from the demise of the former Yue.

Even though the Ming Dynasty has been officially established for almost a year, many people still feel that the demise of Qianyue is a bit incredible, a huge empire actually collapsed in a very short period of time, and they didn't even have time to struggle. But now Liao Hui thinks about it carefully, starting from the Taiping Army's occupation of Shayang County, the subsequent step-by-step actions are all around taking Yue and replacing it. At that time, I didn't realize it, but now I have a feeling of sudden realization when I string together these dots that seem to be inaccessible.

It's horrible!

Today's long conversation with Wang Hou can be regarded as pulling back one of the feet that Liao has stepped on outside the cliff, and what to do next is naturally self-explanatory. The Liao family must hold the thigh of the imperial court tightly and strive to make meritorious contributions.

"Lord Wang, why do you still trust Xiaguan?" He was a little ashamed. There are many things in Zhengyang County, and he Liao is also one of the participants.

"Because in the investigation report of the imperial court, you did not cross the line." Wang Hou smiled and said: "If you want to say that you are guilty, then there is naturally something." Liao Junshou, I might as well tell you the truth, in the future, after the rectification of Zhengyang County, we need a person with a reputation in the local area to come out and preside over the overall situation, obviously, there will be a huge power vacuum in the future, if the imperial court sends people, it will inevitably arouse the disgust of the locals, if Zhengyang County can't restore calm very quickly in the end, then the imperial court will spend so much effort, even if it is thrown into the water. Therefore, in the plan of the imperial court, Zhengyang County will still be presided over by a person with local prestige in the end, of course, this person must be able to pacify the place and be loyal to the court. Liao Junshou, congratulations, you have been chosen by His Majesty the Emperor. ”

At this point, Liao Hui finally understood the plan of the imperial court. Li Wei, Ge Xiang is definitely going to be finished, but the imperial court doesn't want to mess up Zhengyang County, Li Ge and the two clans are entrenched in Zhengyang County, and it is impossible to catch them all at once, so appeasement has become a necessary means, and their own existence will make these people feel at ease.

What's more, I have pigtails left in the hands of the court, these things, the court doesn't want to act, then there is no, if the court wants to act, then it is ready-made evidence.

If you want An Ansheng to land safely in the future, and if you want the Liao family to still be good in Zhengyang County, then you must make enough efforts to do things for the imperial court, continue to make meritorious contributions, and let the people think that they are the iron core of the imperial court, so that the imperial court will not take advantage of themselves.

Of course, Liao Hui decided to sit on the side of the court completely, and he also recognized Li Wei, Ge Xiang could not succeed at all, and the barbarian Yan Guo was forced to be in a corner of the four counties in the north, and there were many contradictions between himself and Jiang Haokun, and he was not recognized by the people of the four counties in the north, and the future outcome can be imagined.

"Boss, what do I need to do next?" He sat up straight, his mind clear. Now that the decision has been made, it is natural that there can be no gains and losses.

"The imperial court has no garrison in Zhengyang County, Li Wei's righteous camp, and Ge Township's Zhengyang battalion, I dare not say that everyone will follow them in the future, so it must be unreliable. Then only the county soldiers remained. In the rest of the time, all you have to do is to take the county soldiers in your hands. The current leader of the county soldiers, isn't it your Liao Hui's own brother? ”

"Boss, the commander is indeed my own brother, but there are too many people related to the Li family and the Ge family!" Liao Hui said.

"It depends on your ability, how to quietly hold the county soldiers in your hands, and at a critical time, you can make them stand on the side of the court." Wang Hou smiled: "Of course, the Eagle's Nest will help you." ”

Liao Hui pondered for a moment: "I think, at the beginning, I wanted to pretend to compete with Li Ge'er for the right to speak in Zhengyang County, both of them have their own armies, but my Liao clan does not, so I vigorously squeezed out Li Ge'er among the county soldiers and installed my own people. ”

"How to do it, it's your business." Wang Hou said lightly. "Anyway, the imperial court also has a plan in case."

Liao Hui was shocked, if this happened, his credit would be completely smashed, so what will Liao do in the future?

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do a good job in this matter, and the people who will be placed, the boss may as well recommend some." Liao Hui said firmly.

"Okay, we'll talk about that later."

"But the boss, in order to be able to control the county soldiers smoothly and not attract their attention, in the reform of the official governance implemented by the boss, I am afraid that the lower officials will still push back and hinder, and they can't blindly welcome the boss."

Wang Hou laughed: "No problem, you can fight against the old man, and then pretend that you can't withstand the pressure, and then loosen it little by little, so that you can not only do things, but also make some people have nothing to say, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Liao Hui stood up and took a deep look.

Wang Hou also stood up, "Okay, let's talk, it's a small half night, my wine should also wake up, now it's time to go to the courtyard you specially prepared for me, it seems that I have to stay in Zhengyang County for a long time, Lord Liao, that wine, if there is any more, I should get a jar." ”

"That's certain, certain." Liao Hui relaxed, and said with a smile on his face.

Above the head of Ningyuan City, Murong Hong, the Emperor of Yan State, was in the center, on the left stood the white-haired Wanquan, and on the right, stood Murong Jing with a slightly sickly face.

Spring, for the barbarians, is a difficult day, food has been urgent, now can only ensure that the army and dignitaries will not lack food, and for the common people, has begun to dig wild vegetables to live, fortunately, it has reached the season of recovery of all things, in the mountains, in the wilderness, there are still a lot of things to eat.

But this is not what Murong Hong wants.

But today, the problem that used to plague the barbarians every year seems to have a solution, and at the gate of the city, dozens of carts of grain are passing through the gate in turn, and the carts are naturally full of food that they are eager to get to solve their urgent needs.

"Tuoba Yan, you have made a great contribution this time." With a smile on his face, Murong Hong turned his head back and glanced at Tuoba Yan, who was standing a little behind with his hands bowed.

"This is all Your Majesty's blessings, the last general is just a little lucky, and he just happened to bump into this matter, this is also God's favor for the emperor, but it is only completed with the help of the last general." Tuoba Yan bowed down and said cautiously.

Murong Hong laughed loudly: "Although it's a sycophant, it's really comfortable to listen to." Say, Tuoba Yan, what reward do you want? ”

Tuoba Yan raised his head, glanced at the smiling emperor, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the last general still hopes to return to the army and lead the troops to fight. And sneaking into enemy-occupied areas and doing these things, the last general, really, is really a little disgusted. ”

Tuoba Yan's words are indeed in line with his own background experience. The days of lurking in Yuejing City for many years and carrying your head every day are a great burden for any normal person.

"Well, this request is not excessive, and judging from your resume after entering the army, you are also full of achievements, I can't imagine that you are actually an all-rounder, not only leading the troops to fight, but also doing these things with ease, no wonder Murong Jing, Murong Kang is in front of me, in order to fight for you, your eyes are red and your neck is thick." Murong Hong said with a smile.

"Tuoba Yan, you have to lead troops to fight, and there is no contradiction between doing this thing well." Wan Quan on the side interjected, and only he could interject when the emperor was speaking. "However, there are priorities, the grain line from Zhengyang to Ningyuan has just been opened, and it is still anxious to stabilize, and the contact with the people of Zhengyang can only be regarded as just catching the line. If you want to drag them deeper into this net, let their hands and feet be entangled, and eventually become our Dayan's pawns, but you need to work harder, you have already gained their trust, and it is extremely inappropriate to suddenly change people at this time. ”

Murong Hong said with a smile: "Murong Kang is fighting for you, just to get more military merits and more importantly more food through you, a lucky general, then as he wishes, you should be promoted to Murong Kang's deputy general first, but at this stage, we must focus on the matter of Zhengyang, and slowly hook them up little by little, we not only need food, but also steel, but also weapons." When everything settles down there, you can go back to work. ”

Tuoba Yan bowed a little helplessly and said, "Yes, I will receive the order from my humble position, thank you Your Majesty Longen." ”
