Chapter 817: Cao Hu'er from the South
Chapter 817
Just two days ago, there was a wave of rumors in the Jingshi, saying that Zhao Linfu, the Tang Dynasty master, joined forces with the imperial doctor to poison and assassinate the son of today, although the Son of Heaven did not have a fart, but he was already unconscious, like a dead man.
And Zhao Linfu saw that the Son of Heaven was not dead, so he decided to try to deceive the queen mother, in order to gain the trust of the queen mother. Wanting to find another opportunity, he managed to poison the unconscious Son of Heaven, and after that, he could follow the example of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty......
In short, the rumors spread well, and even various plots were processed in order to be more gripping. During this time, the Son of Heaven has not returned to Beijing. Now, such rumors have spread again, which naturally makes the people of Jingshi, as well as the officials of the court, look at Zhao Linfu with a little more indescribable things in their eyes.
This made Zhao Linfu very uncomfortable and angry, yes, he Zhao really thought like that, and was ready to do it, but now, when the plan was being implemented smoothly, someone suddenly came out, opened all the hidden plots, and brought them to people for detailed analysis, which made Zhao Linfu feel like he was stripped naked and thrown on the street and ridiculed by the ordinary people
。
"Why, you all keep your mouths shut, do you just let this rumor come true?!" After a fire, Zhao Linfu looked at the appearance of these henchmen with fierce light, and his heart became more and more angry. "If it weren't for the old man's steward who heard this rumor from the outside, would you still continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb?!"
"Eun Xiang, Xia Guan really didn't know that there were such rumors, during this time, Xia Guan has been busy with the things you explained...... "An official quickly stood up and explained tremblingly.
"Enxiang, the lower officials think that now is not the time to hold them accountable, but should try to quell this rumor, otherwise, it will be very unfavorable to your plan." Wen Shouzheng cleared his throat and stepped forward, lowered his voice and whispered.
"How to calm down? Now that this rumor industry has been in the dust, how can it be quelled? Zhao Linfu said coldly with a gloomy face.
"Enxiang, since it can't be blocked, then let's sparse it, just a rumor, let's make a few more specious rumors, so that in the eyes of people with intentions, it is more like some ill-intentioned people, I don't want Enxiang's power to continue to grow, so I will slander you so maliciously......"
“…… Yes, Master Wen's method may be the best and most effective method at present, otherwise, there is really no way to eliminate the chaos caused by the current rumors. The ministers all came forward to express their approval of the idea.
Zhao Linfu thought about it for a long time, and sadly found that there really seemed to be no good way to stop it, and Wen Shouzheng's method could at least have the effect of fishing in troubled waters.
"Since that's the case, let's do it, and besides, if anyone dares to talk too much on the queen's side, don't blame the old man for being ruthless." Zhao Linfu narrowed his triangular eyes, stroked his long gray beard, and smiled grimly.
"Don't worry, we won't dare to disobey." After a vote of henchmen expressed their loyalty and loyalty, it gradually dispersed. And Wen Shouzheng continued to be kept by Zhao Linfu.
"You say, who will spread this rumor?" Zhao Linfu sat opposite Wen Shouzheng with a tired face, supported his forehead with his hands, and asked with a tired face.
"If nothing else, it should be those who are not accustomed to seeing you, and among these people, there are only more than three people who can think of such a method." Wen Shouzheng whispered carefully and sentencedly.
"You mean, Zhang Jiuling and them?" After Zhao Linfu thought about it, he understood what Wen Shouzheng meant, but he shook his head a little uncertainly. "Could it be that those few have eyeliner in my house or can't be finely made?"
Xia Guan is not sure, but he thinks that this possibility is relatively large, there are so many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and there are too many people who can gather enough people to spread rumors in such a short period of time. The important thing is that Xia Guan feels that you still need to pay attention to it, so as not to get people with ulterior motives into it, many things, maybe just a few blinks of an eye, the opportunity will be fleeting......"
"Well, you are very right, it seems that during this time, the old man has been a little careless." Zhao Linfu patted his forehead and said with a gloomy expression.
#####
In just two or three days, the original spearhead was directly pointed at Zhao Linfu's rumors, and there were several more versions of the rumors, which really confused everyone's hearing and vision, and made the people of Jingshi confused, and they didn't know who to listen to, or they didn't understand which rumors were true
。
However, the officials of the Jingshi were not blinded by the rumors that followed, and everyone was keenly aware of the undercurrent surging in the Jingshi, which made everyone smell a faint smell of rust and blood.
At this time, the news that the Son of Heaven was sick and lying in Youxian Palace really spread in Beijing, and Cao Hu'er and Kirch, with a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, were rushing towards Youxian Palace.
Of course, they were ordered by Zhao Linfu to go south to protect the safety of Empress Chen and the Eleventh Prince in the Youxian Palace, and of course, His Majesty the Emperor who was unconscious. Zhao Linfu was really not at ease with the Beiya Forbidden Army, because it was an army loyal to His Majesty, or the royal family.
His Zhao Linfu's order was not even comparable to a glance from Empress Chen or the Eleventh Emperor. This is why Zhao Linfu took the leader of the Beiya Forbidden Army and the Tai Hospital Yuan Zheng as the first target to be eliminated at the very beginning of designing the trap of the Youxian Palace.
Now, the situation in the capital division is not clear, although the old general Duan is already very old, but the old bones are there after all, the old qualifications are there, in the sixteen guards, even if he Zhao Linfu has reached out his hand to enter, but after all, there are too few people, and the loyalty of the sixteen guards to the Li family is far higher than that of the border town. Naturally, Zhao Linfu also needs an army with arms and fingers, and Cao Hu'er and Kirch are.
Cao Hu'er reined in the horse's head, looking at the army that was rushing down the road towards the south like mercury, and his heart was full of confidence, and at this time, Zheng Junshi, surrounded by a group of elite cavalry, came to Cao Hu'er's side and stopped.
"Strategist, how am I doing with these sons?" Cao Hu'er saw the arrival of Zheng Junshi, stroked the withered yellow and curly beard, and asked proudly with a smile.
"This is a strong team that has been honed in the border town for many years, not to mention that there are few opponents in the border town, and those fancy teams in the Beijing division are not enough to see at all." Zheng Junshi stroked the three strands of long beard and said with a faint smile.
"Yes, even Li Youwen's Zuo Yu Lin Wei has been brought to Yunzhou for several years to hone his appearance, alas...... Pity. Cao Hu'er nodded, thinking of Xu Shou's idiot, Cao Hu'er couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
If it weren't for Xu Shou's stupid being too unvigilant, how could he not find Li Youwen's traces, and he was so easily allowed Li Youwen to regain military power, and he himself was thrown into the dungeon of the princess's mansion to be accompanied by rats and cockroaches.
"The general doesn't have to be like this, Xu Shou is just a talented person, and after more than half a year's effort, he can't firmly grasp Zuo Yu Lin Wei...... " Zheng Junshi said disapprerovingly.
"That's right, that guy is really too stupid, but Zuo Yu Lin Wei was taken into the pocket by Li Youwen's woman again, and it has a big impact on Zhao Xiang's plan." Cao Hu'er stroked her withered yellow beard and frowned.
"There is some impact on Zhao Xiang's plan, but it is only an impact, even if that woman regains control of Zuo Yu Linwei, just to integrate the army, it will take her a lot of energy and time, and in a hurry, if she wants to go south, it will be just death."
"Besides, I don't know where General Ke has been?"
"Kirch boy? Hmph, with that kid's temperament, this kid can't wait to fly to Youxian Palace, which shows how loyal he is to Zhao Xiang. Cao Hu'er's face couldn't help but sink. Colch was originally a general he trusted and reused, but he never thought that that guy would actually cross himself to show favor to Zhao Linfu.
In the end, this guy also became the commander of a town's soldiers and horses, although his strength was far inferior to his own, but after all, it was not under his jurisdiction, which made Cao Hu'er angry, but also a little helpless, he really wanted to slaughter the Kirch goods, but he couldn't do it.
