Chapter 65: Embarrassed
Liu Yuliang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and carefully inquired about the before and after killing Yue Tuo, of course he couldn't completely believe it just by one side, the swarthy man in front of him killed Yue Tuo, the commander of the Tartar's right-wing army, although this person was very brave. He pondered for a moment, then asked the most crucial question.
"Is there anything to back it up?"
"Of course there is, can Yue Tuoyin's letter be corroborated?"
After Li Xin saw that Yue Tuo had killed himself, he saw that his general's seal was placed on several cases, so he ordered someone to take one of them away. He knew very well that Liu Yuliang asked in such detail, he should be doubting the authenticity of this matter, and replied casually a few words before saying more, anyway, the credit is in his own hands, so why bother to report to Liu Yuliang in detail.
But Liu Yuliang was still very excited, and kept discussing with Li Xin, wanting to see what this Yue Tuo looked like. Li Xin's resistance to him was hard and hard, so he had to take him to the soldier who kept the wooden box.
The wooden box opened, and a pair of empty and godless eyes were staring at Liu Yuliang, making him tremble, and the hand warmer in his hand fell to the ground. In order to hide his gaffe, he sighed while bending down to pick up the hand warmer: "This Tartar is not blind, and it can be regarded as a bad breath for the Ming soldiers who have sacrificed for more than ten years." "Don't dare to look at those white eyes anymore.
I saw that the skin color of the shaved blue head was the same as the surroundings, obviously it was not the goods that had just been scraped, and a small pigtail with the thickness and length of a rat's tail was hanging behind the head, which was already very scattered. After looking at the head, when the soldier closed the lid of the wooden box, he let out a long breath, and the oppressive feeling disappeared in an instant.
Liu Yuliang smiled at Li Xin again: "I don't know if you can take a look at the seal?" β
This kind of distrust made Li Xin very unhappy, and he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he took out the seal in his leather pocket and handed it to Liu Yuliang.
This is really an inconspicuous copper seal, engraved with twisted Manchu script, and a lot of ink sticking to the gaps between the yin texts. If it is said that the human head can get a random impersonation, but this seal is not an ordinary thing, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can fake, not to mention that he also recognizes the Manchu text, which is engraved with General Yangwu.
Liu Yuliang nodded and handed back the bronze seal to Li Xin, and then said solemnly: "Such a great achievement, when the emperor is reported quickly, then General Li, you will be the first meritorious, once it is announced to the world, the morale of the army of the king of the world will be greatly boosted, and it will be just around the corner to drive away the Tartars!" β
Li Xin listened to what he said to be extremely tempting, as if the Ming Dynasty was about to counterattack and win in this defensive battle of the Tartars. But Liu Yuliang's statement made Li Xin's heart flutter, yes, after he came to the Ming Dynasty to lead the troops, the most embarrassing thing was that he did not have a legal identity.
But after coming to the Ming Dynasty, Li Xin was the first to plant his heel in the hands of civil officials, and he was still a capable person who was dedicated to the public in his eyes. But in the end, sacrificing oneself is as easy as sacrificing a cat or a dog. Therefore, when dealing with civilian officials again, especially the cabinet chief assistant who fought in this officialdom and reached the top of the officialdom, he had to weigh it even more, Liu Yuliang built what kind of calculation he did like this, he was not naΓ―ve enough to think that this thing was really thinking about himself and the Ming Dynasty.
After thinking about it a few times, he believed that Liu Yuliang's report of this great achievement would only be good for him and not harmful, and even had an immeasurable consolidation effect on his already precarious position. This also explains why he was able to pull down his face and grind hard with himself, and it also depends on Yue Tuo's head and the general's seal.
So Li Xin replied:
"Li Xin, but according to the orders of the elder of the pavilion!"
Liu Yuliang was overjoyed, "This matter should not be delayed, the old man will draft a successful military report!" β
He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bag he carried like a trick, and at this time, he didn't care if anyone was grinding ink and laying paper for him, so he did it all by himself. But with a cup of tea, an ink-drenched report has been written. After blowing dry the ink, he handed it to Li Xin, "General Li to see how about it?" β
Li Xin didn't realize the inappropriateness of Liu Yuliang's actions at all, and as a result, the report was roughly swept a few times, although it was in traditional Chinese, but because it was written to the emperor, the handwriting was extremely neat, and it was not much better than the printed handwriting.
After looking at it, Li Xin returned the report to Liu Yuliang, "I don't know who the elder wants to report to Jingshi?" β
Liu Yuliang thought for a while and replied: "Sima of the Chinese Army is a good candidate, so the old man will go to him to discuss." β
Li Xinmu sent Liu Yuliang back to the station, and he was left alone by the lake, when suddenly the north wind rose, and the iron armor outside the cotton coat showed a slight chill.
Let's say that Liu Yuliang found Xiong Kaiyuan and told Li Xin about killing Yue Tuo and taking his head. Xiong Kaiyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he high-fived and said, "Ge Lao, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" β
"That little thief, can you agree to send this head to Jingshi?"
Liu Yuliang nodded happily, "I agree!" He took out the newspaper he had just written from his arms and handed it to Xiong Kaiyuan. Although the two of them have their own ghosts, but at this moment, the two are grasshoppers tied to a rope, one is prosperous, the other is lost, and no one can be confused at this time, so Xiong Kaiyuan is Liu Yuliang's most powerful henchman at this time. Xiong Kaiyuan is definitely not his preferred candidate to deliver the letter, but he came to see what else is missing.
Xiong Kaiyuan glanced up and down a few times and laughed dryly.
"There is a sentence in the lower official that I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Liu Yuliang wanted to listen to him and talk about different opinions.
"Don't sell it, say it quickly!"
Xiong Kaiyuan closed the fold of the report, "This matter can still kill two birds with one stone, I don't know the old ...... of the pavilion"
"Tell me how to kill two birds with one stone!"
"Elder Ge never thought that your position in the cabinet is becoming more and more ineffective, is this all the reason?"
Xiong Kaiyuan's words can be regarded as grabbing his sore feet, there are Yang Sichang and Xue Guoguan in the cabinet who are screwed together, and he, the first assistant, is sometimes not as good as Xue Guoguan, the second assistant. But what does it have to do with this?
"Pavilion Elder, you think, even if you repay this great achievement, it will only be a little help, and the cabinet still can't compete with Yang Xue, if you can......"
Xiong Kaiyuan muttered in Liu Yuliang's ear for a while, but when he saw Liu Yuliang's face change several times, until Xiong Kaiyuan finished speaking, he actually sighed.
"According to Xuannian's meaning, you want to pull his grandson into the cabinet?"
Xiong Kaiyuan smiled and nodded, Liu Yuliang was stunned for a long time before striking with both palms.
"What a trick to drive the tiger and the wolf. Xuan Nian, I really wronged you to be this Chinese army Sima!"
The two were discussing hotly, Xiong Kaiyuan caught a glimpse of Wang Pu walking slowly, so he whispered to Liu Yuliang: "Pavilion Elder, Wang Pu must be here to ask for help......
As Xiong Kaiyuan expected, Wang Pu came to see Liu Yuliang and asked him to intercede for him in front of the emperor. Liu Yuliang pretended to excuse himself and said that it was not a crime to lose his teacher, and at the lightest he would have to be cut to the people, and if the emperor was in a bad mood, it was not impossible to go to prison and behead.
Wang Pu came to seek Liu Yuliang's help because he knew that his future was uncertain, but he also knew that he was almost a little useful now, and Liu Yuliang might not be willing to help him, so he also came with the mentality of trying it out. Hearing Liu Yuliang's refusal, he immediately died. Who knows, Liu Yuliang actually changed his tone again.
"Although Mr. Wang's current predicament is a dead end, it is not completely insolvable."
Wang Pu was already extremely disappointed, and this sentence made him suddenly happy, and he slammed Liu Yuliang to the ground.
"Please also ask the elder to show the way!"
His net worth and life are in the hands of others, and Wang Pu is also out of the way. Liu Yuliang hurriedly helped him up, "What is Mr. Wang doing, isn't it all about contributing to the court?" The old man has a great event that needs to be done by Mr. Wang, send something to Beijing! β
What kind of sword mountain and sea of fire, isn't it just to go to Jingshi, here is only two or three hundred miles away from Jingshi, and it is only a day or two of hard work to speed up the horse.
"Wang Pu did not hesitate to go to the soup and fire, although the elder Ge commanded."
He had always respected Li Xin before, and he also had the intention of co-opting Li Xin, using it for him, and making new contributions so that he could get rid of his old sins. Unexpectedly, this Li Xin didn't seem to take him as the general soldier of the town in his eyes, although he was polite to him, he was very distant.
Now that Liu Yuliang has given him a chance, he must not miss it, maybe if he misses it, he will never have a chance to turn over.
During the conversation between Liu and Wang, Xiong Kaiyuan wrote a report, and handed it to Liu Yuliang before the ink was dry. Liu Yuliang read it carefully and was very satisfied, so he handed the report to Wang Pu again.
"Let's take a look first, and make a note of how to say to Banzai then!"
Wang Pu took the report, and after taking a look, his heart jumped, he raised his head to look at Liu Yuliang, and hesitated: "Pavilion old man is ......"
Xiong Kaiyuan saw that Wang Pu hesitated, so he went straight in: "Elder Ge, this is a great credit to you, others want to get it, why are you hesitating?" As long as you send this recital to the Emperor, the Holy Lord will not only exempt you from the sin of losing your teacher, but will also entrust you with a heavy responsibility......"
suddenly, I only heard Wang Pu laughing.
"How can I Wang Pu be a disciple of my mother-in-law, when will I leave, but according to the orders of the elder pavilion!"
"In this way, Wang Pu will retire first, so let's prepare a little!"
Looking at Wang Pu's back that he didn't leave, Xiong Kaiyuan was a little worried.
"Will he tell the thief about this?"
Liu Yuliang did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"What do you say?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Yuliang sighed, "Don't underestimate the teaching of the soldiers, even the old man can't see the number of this person's paths." β
A small non-grade Minzhuang teacher is free in front of him, the head of the cabinet, and he is not the slightest restraint, I am afraid that there will be no third person in the world except for the master in the Forbidden City.
