That night, Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi came to Qu Hui's mansion with gifts, and were led into the mansion after being reported by Menzi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Qi was indignant and whispered to Guo Ziyi: "This Qu Hui is so big, he didn't even come out to greet him!" ”

Guo Ziyi said in a low voice: "Bear with it, you are just a Hongluqing, my dignified lieutenant is treated like this, do you say that I am wronged or not?" But what can we do now? Get things done first, and then settle accounts with them later! ”

Lu Qi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Guo Dashuai is right, I will settle accounts with them in the future!" ”

The two came to the front hall, Qu Hui greeted them at the door of the front hall, hugged his fists and laughed: "Hahaha, Guo Dashuai and Lord Lu are visiting, they will be disappointed, forgive sins, forgive sins!" ”

Guo Ziyi hugged his fists and returned the salute: "General Qu is polite, I took the liberty to disturb late at night, I shouldn't wait, there is any inconvenience, please General Qu Haihan!" ”

Qu Hui didn't say any more polite words, invited Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi into the front hall to talk, and ordered someone to bring tea, and lit a charcoal fire in the house to keep warm, and the temperature in the house quickly rose.

After sending the people away, Qu Hui said: "As General Liang's subordinates, General Ben should not have met with Taiwei and Lord Lu alone, so as not to provoke criticism. However, Taiwei and Lord Lu deigned to come late at night, and it would have been too unkind for the two of them to be turned away as local landlords. If the two of them just came to drink tea, Ben would be happy to entertain them, but if the two of them came to lobby and let Ben General persuade General Liang, it would be better for them to avoid being respectful. Ben General can't be General Liang's master! ”

Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi had already been mentally prepared before they came, but they didn't expect Qu Hui to make his words clear at the beginning. Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi glanced at each other, Guo Ziyi motioned to Lu Qi to say first, and Lu Qi said to Qu Hui with a smile: "General Qu misunderstood, Guo Dashuai and I didn't come here tonight to ask General Qu to come forward to persuade Liang Chongyi to send troops to relieve the siege of Xiangyang!" ”

Qu Hui was puzzled and frowned, "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Guo Ziyi, who was drinking tea, stopped and asked, "Does General Qu know where General Lai Yao's family is now?" How's it going? ”

Qu Hui said vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" General Lai Yao is dead, don't you still let his family go? ”

Lu Qi said: "General Qu is a little restless, the court does not want to be unfavorable to the general's family, on the contrary, the court wants to appease them!" ”

Qu Hui sneered: "Hey, it's really the sun coming out in the west, and there are eunuchs like Ju Wenzhen making waves in the court, will the court be so kind?" ”

Lu Qi spit out a sentence coldly: "Ju Wenzhen has been sent to the prison, and she is not far from death!" ”

"Uh······" The expression on Qu Hui's face froze, and then he said angrily: "Lu Qi, do you think this will be a three-year-old child?" Enjoying such a clumsy trick to fool the general? ”

Guo Ziyi was also quite surprised, when he came out, Ju Wenzhen and other eunuchs were fine, why was Ju Wenzhen imprisoned in a short period of time? However, he was an old and serious man, and although he was shocked in his heart, he did not show it on his face at all.

Lu Qi took a sip of tea and looked at Qu Hui and said with a smile: "General Qu doesn't have to be angry, although I, Lu Qi, am ugly, I am not stupid enough to use this little trick on the general's territory to achieve the purpose of deceiving the general!" Does the general know the current situation in the imperial court? Do you know who's in charge now? ”

Qu Hui was stunned again and asked, "What?" Could it be that the emperor died and the crown prince Li Shi ascended the throne? ”

Lu Qi said: "No, in this small place in Dengzhou, Liang Chongyi did not listen to the dispatch and orders of the imperial court, and blocked the news. The general's news is too ill-informed. Two months ago, the king of Western Qin returned to Chang'an, and the emperor appointed him as the regent, with full authority to handle the military and political affairs of the court, so now the court is in charge of the regent, and the emperor has retired to the deep palace and no longer cares about military and political affairs. After the regent took over, the situation in the court underwent earth-shaking changes, first of all, the eunuchs were deprived of their military power, and then the household department was audited, the radish was pulled out and the mud was brought out, and a large number of corrupt officials were imprisoned and their homes were raided; Subsequently, the Fengxiang army launched a rebellion under the leadership of the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Sha Zali, but was defeated by the regent's troops, except for the dismissal of Li Baoyu from his post and the closed-door thinking about it, more than 10,000 people in the Fengxiang army were all executed······ General Qu, you were also a close confidant of the general back then, General Lai has served under the regent for many years, you should know the regent's methods very well, he will not tolerate the Tang Dynasty any longer, any feudal town that opposes the imperial court and does not listen to the imperial court's dispatch and orders will be ruthlessly exterminated, do you think you will be safe if you stay in Dengzhou? Li Zhongchen and his ilk are just clowns jumping off the beam, as long as the regent moves his mouth, he Li Zhongchen will die without a place to be buried! ”

These words made Qu Hui feel that his momentum had been suppressed, and he endured the terrifying monstrous waves in his heart, and forced himself to say: "Lord Lu, don't scare me, I, Qu Hui, am not scared!" ”

Lu Qi smiled: "General, Lu is not scaring you. Now it's different from the past, when Lu came out, the regent had already issued a decree to rectify the rule of officials, and first began to implement it in the various yamen of the imperial court. Relying on flattery and flattery has become untenable in the court, and the eunuchs are now hiding in the palace trembling, but they will be finished sooner or later. The rebellion against the Fengxiang army was all executed, which has greatly shocked the morale of the army, and all the military power has been returned to the regent palace, and all the forces of the court and the family have completely lost their military power, and they can no longer afford to make any big waves, and now the regent is vigorously retraining the imperial army, once the training is completed, at least I don't believe that there is anyone in the world who dares to go against the imperial court, the regent's ability to command the army, general, you are clear! Therefore, in the future, there is no future for the imperial court to disobey the decrees of the imperial court, listen to the tune and not listen to the propaganda, and blatantly oppose and confront the imperial court, which is the general trend. Even if the general doesn't think about the future and net worth of the soldiers under his command, he has to think about his wife and children, right? ”

"The regent was very sad about the death of General Lai Yao, he said that General Lai Yao died unjustly, and it was not the imperial court that was responsible for the death of Lai Yao, but people like Ju Wenzhen who slandered the emperor! The regent also said that even if Lai Yao was unjustly killed, this must not be a reason for his soldiers to confront and rebel against the imperial court. To put it mildly, this is ungrateful! Lai Yao was indeed wronged, could it be that Deng Zhoujun went against the imperial court because he was wronged? Was this army loyal to the imperial court or to the people who came to it? If Deng Zhoujun is only loyal to Lai Yao personally, then his death is really not unjust! ”

Qu Hui fell into deep thought.

Lu Qi took out a roll of yellow cloth from the brocade box he brought with him and handed it over, Qu Hui looked at the roll of yellow cloth and asked, "What is this?" ”

"The edict of rehabilitating Zhaoxue!" Lu Qi and Qu Hui took the edict and continued: "Under the auspices of the regent, the imperial court rehabilitated Lai Yao, in addition to Lai Yao, there are also Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi and others. Lai Yao's son was added to the official and knighted, and his family members were also ordained, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him, although he can't save Yao's life because of these, but his descendants still have to live, don't they? ”

At this time, Guo Ziyi said: "General Qu, not everyone in the court is a traitor who flatters, pat the horse, and frame the loyal and good, most of the ministers and officials are good, and the traitors are only a very few, if all of them are traitors, can this be the case in this world?" I believe that Lai Yao in the spirit of heaven should also smile when he sees this edict to rehabilitate Zhaoxue! ”

Qu Hui knelt on the ground with the edict in his hand and cried: "General, have you seen it?" The court said that you were wronged, that you were wronged······"

When Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi saw Qu Hui's appearance, they knew that this person's loyalty and affection for Lai Yao were full of feelings in their hearts for a while, especially Guo Ziyi. Who doesn't want his generals to be loyal to him? But then again, if the generals' loyalty to the generals exceeds their loyalty to the imperial court, it will become a hidden danger, which also proves the truth that the extreme must be reversed.

Qu Hui cried for a while, got up and put away the edict, wiped away his tears and asked Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi: "The regent sent the marshal and Lord Lu to come over and want me to do something?" ”

Guo Ziyi didn't speak, Lu Qi had to be a villain himself, "General Qu, as far as this official knows, you and Du Shaocheng were the tooth generals of Lai Yao back then, in terms of military rank and official title, you and Du Shaocheng are indeed lower than Liang Chongyi, who was the right soldier and horse envoy at that time, but you are directly subordinate to Lai Yao, and Liang Chongyi does not have too deep friendship, after Lai Yao's death, the two of you are willing to lead his subordinates to become his subordinates, this is because he claimed to avenge Lai Yao, isn't it?" ”

Qu Hui nodded and said, "Yes, if he didn't say that he wanted to avenge the general, how could the two of us be submissive to him with his character?" How could the marching army at that time, Sima Pang Pet and other generals submit to him? What's more, he also killed Xue Nanyang, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and beat away Sima Pang Chong on the march! ”

Lu Qi asked, "So did he avenge Lai Yao after collecting all the departments?" ”

Qu Hui shook his head gloomily when he heard this.

Lu Qi slapped his thigh: "Isn't this right, Lai Yao has been dead for four or five years, Liang Chongyi has not moved until now, if he really had the heart, he would have made a move a long time ago, it can be seen that he just gathered the Dengzhou army around him and controlled it under the banner of revenge for Lai Yao, so as to achieve his goal of cutting off the king!" The imperial court will never tolerate these people who claim to be kings, Liang Chongyi must be punished, the Dengzhou army must return to the control of the imperial court, and Dengzhou must also return to the imperial court. General Qu, now is the time for you to make a statement to the Regent! ”
