Chapter 849: We're going to be scapegoats
Chapter 849
Seeing the big mouths of Zhao and Zhang, who were about to catch up with the hippopotamus, Ximen Zhongxiong cleared his throat and said helplessly: "But these news are all from Zhao Linfu's mouth, and the authenticity has not had time to distinguish between the true and the false." ”
"I'm afraid that the news that Cao Hu'er and the Kolch army are besieging Youxian Palace will definitely not be fake, but, according to Zhao's opinion, it feels more like Zhao Linfu's handiwork." Zhao Shangshu stroked his long beard, his face full of indignation.
"There is also a possibility, that is, Cao Hu'er has long been dissatisfied with Zhao Linfu and wants to replace him." Zhang Jiuling is worthy of being a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, who specializes in managing officials, and his brain is naturally much easier to use, and he has already guessed another possibility.
After the two of them sat down again and drank a cup of hot tea to calm down, Zhang Jiuling finally figured out what General Duan was thinking. couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head again and again, he couldn't imagine that Duan Guixiong's old goods were so old and treacherous, and this borrowing flowers to offer Buddha was really beautiful.
"Brother Jiuling, what kind of expression do you have, now that Old General Duan has decided to stand on our side, aren't you still happy, why do you look like you have been deceived." Zhao Shangshu saw Zhang Jiuling's bitter smile and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Do you think that old fellow can have any good intentions?" Zhang Jiuling rolled her eyes and said angrily. "Old General Duan is throwing us into the fire pit, even if we are reluctant, we must not only be grateful to him, but also do what he wants."
Zhao Shangshu looked at Zhang Jiuling with a confused expression, and he didn't understand why this thing would say such a thing. Ximen Zhongxiong cleared his throat and analyzed the cause and effect of the matter, as well as the impact of General Duan's arrangement, to Zhao Shangshu, and this guy suddenly realized.
"The old guy is good enough, he plucked himself cleanly, and made us scapegoats." Zhao Shangshu slapped his thigh, quite a little crying and laughing.
Zhang Jiuling nodded, although he was a little helpless, but said categorically: "Since Old General Duan has handed over this power to us, then we can only bite the bullet, as long as we can use the reason, we must ********." We must not let Zhao Linfu have another chance to turn the clouds and rain around. ”
Hearing Zhang Jiuling's words, Zhao Shangshu and Ximen Zhongxiong both nodded silently but firmly.
"Then it's decided, Old General Duan has already agreed with me, as long as he finds out that Cao Hu'er is indeed outside Youxian Palace, he will dispatch the right martial guard general Wei Chi Shouxin over, with the 25,000 elites of the right martial guard, it shouldn't be difficult to take down Zhao Linfu."
"Brother Zhongxiong, although you think too easily, he Zhao Linfu has been planning for so long, how can he not be wary of General Duan, or the Jingshi, maybe, General Wei Chi's military order has just been sent out, and he Zhao Linfu will be able to know."
After the excitement in the hearts of the three of them gradually dissipated, they began to worry about how to catch Zhao Linfu. Although General Duan only gave a warrant to search for Cao Hu'er's henchmen, he did not indicate or who Cao Hu'er's henchmen were.
That is to say, screening and screening who is Cao Huer's henchmen, you need to tell Zhang Jiuling and others to do it themselves, of course, whether Zhao Linfu, the prime minister, will become the person on the list, this requires Zhang Jiuling and others to make their own decisions, so that even if His Majesty suddenly wakes up, and thinks of his good friend, and then angrily finds that his good friend has died or been tortured or something.
At that time, Zhang Jiuling and the other three will inevitably become the targets of His Majesty's anger, but he Duan will not have the slightest, because he just handed over a warrant, and this warrant does not clearly define Zhao Linfu as one of Cao Hu'er's henchmen.
In other words, whether Zhang Jiuling and others identify Zhao Linfu as Cao Huer's henchmen, or think that Zhao Linfu is a naïve, pure, stupid and cute person, everything is defined by this brother himself, anyway, it has nothing to do with Duan Guixiong.
But no matter what, Old General Duan was able to hand over the order to this brother, so that they could do something they wanted to do and were willing to do, which was already greatly beyond the expectations of the three of them.
"Enxiang, how is it, Duan Guixiong has agreed to your request?" Seeing that Zhao Linfu had returned to the study, Wen Shouzheng, who had never left the Zhao Mansion, rushed to the study as soon as possible, and as soon as Fang entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask.
Zhao Linfu shook his head slowly. "The old man was suspicious of the old man's words, or rather, the old man even thought that the old man wanted to lure him into the urn......"
"It's already come to such a time, Duan Guixiong actually has the heart to intrigue, it's really annoying and hateful!" Wen Shouzheng heard this, and couldn't help but shout angrily with a slap on the case.
These words really won Zhao Linfu's heart, anyway, the skin of this thing was so thick that he didn't have any sense, and he nodded with a deep expression on his face. "But fortunately, the old man promised in person that he would send soldiers and horses to Youxian Palace to find out whether the situation was true or not, so as to distinguish the authenticity."
Hearing this, Wen Dingzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and after turning his eyes around a few times, the gloom on his face did not dissipate, but became even more worried. Seeing Wen Shouzheng's expression, the ease in Zhao Linfu's heart gradually dissipated. "Brother Shouzheng, what's wrong?"
"Enxiang, Old General Duan is unwilling to hand over the military power, although it is common sense, but the problem is, now Cao Hu'er is no longer our person, so is our strength too thin?" Wen Shouzheng thought for a long time, and slowly said the concerns in his heart.
Zhao Linfu couldn't help frowning, and stroked his gray beard for a long time, indeed, the biggest strength of his Zhao was now a sharp knife that turned around and wanted to chop himself, even now, it was said that Duan Guixiong was moved to send troops, but the problem was that none of these soldiers and horses were loyal to Zhao.
This made Zhao Lin feel like a fucking person in charge of a leather bag company, he could only buy short and sell short, and those forces in the court seemed to be extremely useful and effective in normal times, but the question was now?
Once turmoil begins in the Jingshi region, only the party that holds military power will have the strength and the ability to speak.
"Brother Shouzheng, what do you mean......" Zhao Linfu set his eyes on Wen Shouzheng's old chrysanthemum face, and wondered if this sworn friend's henchman could have any means to resolve the crisis in front of him.
"Dare to ask Enxiang, can you move the Northern Ya Forbidden Army?" Wen Shouzheng is worthy of being a trusted confidant of Zhao Linfu, and now, not only for Zhao Linfu, but also for his own life and future glory and wealth, it is also difficult.
"With the will of the mother, of course the old man can make the move." Zhao Linfu thought about it and said in a deep voice. "However, the Beiya Forbidden Army is too small, and compared with the nearly 300,000 guards of the Beijing Division, it is really ......."
"It doesn't matter, as long as there is the queen's will, as long as there is a forbidden army in the north that can be commanded like an arm, then you have a great chance of taking back a city, and even the soldiers and horses who have taken down several guards in the Beijing division are not necessarily." Wen Shouzheng gritted his teeth and said viciously. "As long as you are willing to do this......"
Zhao Linfu's eyes lit up, looked at Wen Shouzheng, who was hideous in front of him, and let out a long breath of turbidity in his chest, a rare light-hearted freehand appeared on his face, and he stroked his palms and laughed. "Wonderful, the virtuous brother is worthy of being the old man's right-hand man, if this strategy is successful, the virtuous brother should be the first to take the lead."
"Don't say that, the lower officials are just throwing bricks and attracting jade, with the wisdom of the grace phase, sooner or later they will be able to think of this." Where did Wen Shouzheng dare to be proud in front of this jealous and jealous Zhao Linfu, who was no less capable than the Son of Heaven.
"The old man knows what to do, Shouzheng and virtuous brother, you go and call them over for the old man, the old man has something important to explain......" Zhao Linfu at this moment, once again became high-spirited, the key now is when the old general Duan led the army to Youxian Palace to drive the enemy to escort, at that time, it was the time for Zhao Linfu to cleanse the other forces of the Beijing division and firmly grasp the remaining soldiers and horses in his hands.
At that time, I will have to work harder, and I will not be like now, like a manager of a leather bag company who buys and sells short, for fear that he will be accidentally arrested by the public security officer in the name of fraud.
The original undercurrents of the Jingshi were surging, but now, those undercurrents have begun to surge, stirring the Jingshi, not to mention the court officials, and the gentry and businessmen who are a little more well-informed have also noticed a little bit of something wrong.
Some people have even begun to quietly move their families out of the capital with a soft avoidance and go to a residence outside the city, just like the turmoil more than ten years ago, the more timid and cautious people are, the longer they can live.
