Chapter 560: Fighting Dogs in the South
"Does the general have any orders to call cow eggs?"
Looking at Niu Dan's flickering eyes, Li Xin knew that this person must have touched a nail and didn't do the task he assigned to him well, so he said angrily: "If you don't tell it, what do you want to do?" ”
The cow egg was staggered, and it was rare that he didn't reply to a mouthful, thinking that he had done something wrong, and even his courage became smaller.
"Here's another chance!" Li Xin gave another earnest exhortation to Niu Dan, and then said loudly: "Go ahead, if you mess it up again this time, you don't have to come back!" ”
Niu Dan quickly agreed, turned his head and went upside down.
Li Xin looked at the door that was flickering back and forth by the cow egg, thoughtful.
Early the next morning, Liu Yuliang, who had not been to the door for many days, actually visited the door in person, which was a big miracle. After the family reported the report, he wanted to refuse Liu Yuliang as usual, but Li Xin stopped him again and asked him to lead Liu Yuliang to see him.
Before Liu Yuliang could enter the door, the voice had already entered the study.
"General Li has good means, the old man admires, admires!"
Li Xin was surprised: "Li Xin, who heard what the elder said, was confused, I don't know what the means? ”
Liu Yuliang, who walked into the door, smiled slightly, pointed Li Xin twice, and then went straight into the study and sat down on the chair.
"Don't pretend to be confused with the old man, you can't see that an old stubborn like Zhang Fangyan can be bought by you!"
Li Xin waved his hand again and again, "The elder of the pavilion is serious, and the old Zhang pavilion is of high quality, how can it be that Li Xin can buy it?" If this is said to Li Xin, if it reaches Zhang Ge's ears, he thinks that Li Xin is spreading rumors and slander, and he is not fighting with Li Xin? ”
Liu Yuliang didn't argue with it, only waved his hand. "Okay, good, it's not a buy, it's not a buy, in short, the old guy Zhang Fangyan can be regarded as a great help to you!" At the same time, Liu Yuliang smacked his lips, "Qiu Laohu is very tight, his mouth is so dry after walking all the way, when did General Li pick the door like this, and didn't even give him a cup of tea?" ”
Before the words fell, the family had already brought the tea, but it was careless, and the work was much slower.
Liu Yuliang seemed to deliberately open the topic, "General Li is also a dignified marquis, how can he do it if there are few servants in the mansion?" The old man will send you a few in the future, otherwise you will neglect the guests, and your host will do it intentionally! ”
But as soon as the conversation turned around, it returned to Zhang Fangyan, "I think General Li has learned the news that Sun Jiao was impeached by officials from Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces, but Zhang Fangyan's attitude has changed in one day, which has to be surprising!" ”
Li Xinxin's head moved, "Could it be that Elder Zhang Ge has already received the order?" ”
"I'm still pretending to be confused with the old man!" Liu Yuliang looked at Li Xin with a smile, "Zhang Fangyan has agreed, but it is like a long live to order a person's general, what is the danger of Zhejiang and Zhizhi, the powerful and powerful are intertwined, and Sun Jiao was framed by someone is a precedent, claiming that he would not dare to go south without the support of this person......"
"Who do you guess Zhang Fang's strict general is?" Liu Yuliang looked at Li Xin and asked, but without waiting for Li Xin to reply, he asked and answered: "It's the capture of the dynasty!" ”
"Li Xin, Li Xin, your move, the old man is confused, are you really willing to let go of the hard-working Shanxi and the invincible Three Guards?"
Li Xin looked directly at Liu Yuliang, and only sighed after a while: "Fan Ge is pressing step by step, even if Li Xin doesn't want to go, this Shanxi is afraid that he won't be able to go back, the Three Guards, but they don't think that they can easily hold it in their hands like this!" ”
Seeing Li Xin's love suddenly become excited, Liu Yuliang's eyes flashed with a strange light, but soon disappeared silently in the full smile.
"If such words get out, it will be the truth of the gang attacking you, and you must not be so excited. The old man just wants to ask you one word! ”
Li Xin did not express his position on Liu Yuliang's advice, but only responded: "Pavilion Elder, please ask!" ”
"The old man only asks you one thing, do you know how deep and muddy the water is in Zhejiang and Zhizhi provinces? These two provinces have half the world's finances and taxes, which sounds tempting, but they are a difficult bone to gnaw, if you are not completely sure, it can not be solved by killing a few people! ”
This sentence is a real reminder, Li Xinchang breathed a long sigh of relief, and only replied lightly: "Have you ever heard a sentence from the elder pavilion?" Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains! ”
After hearing this, Liu Yuliang laughed: "What a good person knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefers to go to the tiger mountains!" Speaking of this, he stood up, "Okay, the old man is waiting for this General Li to fight the tiger in Hushan and return triumphantly!" ”
Li Xin was the only one left in the study, and he still had a trace of doubts about Liu Yuliang's arrival, at first he thought that Liu Yuliang was here to listen to the tone, but in the end, it seemed that there were more reminders than others. He said that the depth of the water in the south of the Yangtze River is not unfounded, but if he does not use this as a breakthrough, he can only sit in a predicament among the Beijing teachers and it will be even more difficult to get out. It's better to go south with Zhang Fangyan, maybe the situation will change unexpectedly!
In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor's will arrived, and Li Xin was ordered to enter the palace immediately to face the saint. Li Xin knew that the opportunity had come, so he immediately cleaned up his robes and entered the palace to see Zhu Youzhen, the son of tomorrow.
In the Forbidden City, the eunuch led Li Xin to turn around in the east of the palace, but he didn't go to the emperor's usual Wenhua Gate, and Li Xin didn't know where he went. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was really a good place to be quiet in the middle of noisy.
"General, please go in, long live the Lord inside!"
Li Xin thanked the eunuch very politely, and then pushed the door in. To Li Xin's surprise, after bypassing the screen, there was more than one emperor inside, and there was an old man with gray hair sitting on the soft stool next to him, not Zhang Fangyan and anyone else!
"Minister Li Xin knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand and helped him, "Aiqing, hurry up, this is no better than Wenhua Palace, our monarchs and ministers sit and talk to each other, there is no need to be restrained!" At the same time, he ordered the eunuch to move the soft stool over, and Li Xin repeatedly refused, so he sat down with half his buttocks and waited for the emperor's next step.
"Zhang Ge Lao went south, please Aiqing obey, I don't know if Aiqing is willing?"
In Zhu Youzhen's view, going south with Zhang Fangyan is by no means a good errand, Li Xin can fight, if he talks about power fighting and playing tricks, he may not be the opponent of those old foxes. If Zhang Fangyan is an eight-sided and exquisite, clear-minded person may be spared. But he is a nerd again, didn't Li Xin send sheep into the tiger's mouth when he accompanied him?
Look at Sun Jiao is a lesson from the past, Sun Jiao is a family scholar, and his knowledge and ability are the best in the officialdom, what is the result? It's not that the officials of the two provinces of Zhejiang are embarrassed, and they can't even get out of the two provinces.
This is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen did not wait for Sun Jiao's self-defense excerpt to enter Beijing, and then ordered Zhang Fangyan to go south. In fact, Zhu Youzhen did not intend to be able to clear up the situation in Jiangnan with just one Zhang Fangyan, but just hoped that this person would be stubborn, put into the water with a boulder, and smash out some movements.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhu Youzhen will throw Zhang Fangyan out as a chess piece and leave it alone. In other aspects, Zhu Youzhen did his best to meet Zhang Fangyan's requirements, but this old man also knew that it was powerful, so he refused at first.
This is what Zhu Youzhen didn't expect, just when he was thinking hard about finding another candidate, who knew that this old man actually changed his attitude again, and entered the palace early in the morning to receive the decree and thank him! Things are abnormal, that is, demons, sure enough, Zhu Youzhen's speculation was not wrong, Zhang Fangyan really made a request that he was very reluctant to make.
This requirement is to ask Li Xin to go south to the two provinces with him, and then he will set off, otherwise he will already say bluntly, and he will go like a hot bun dog!
"Aiqing is willing to go?"
Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Xin, his mood at the moment was contradictory, hoping that Li Xin would refuse, but in his heart he faintly hoped that Li Xin would agree, and one of the unexpected joys brought by this was that he could use this to delay his marriage with the lord of Xinle.
Who knew that Li Xin replied with a straight face: "Li Xin is willing to go!" There is an order in the saint, and it is not too late for Li Xin to die! ”
This can make Zhu Youzhen cry and laugh, the original intention of his question is that if Li Xin doesn't want to go, he can give him a chance to defend himself, and if the answer is reasonable, he can prevaricate Zhang Fangyan. As for other aspects, Zhu Youzhen has even made a good decision to allow officials below the fourth grade to have the right to cut first and then play.
In the final analysis, the matter in the south is still silver, there are secret agents to report, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau of millions of taels of silver is the tip of the iceberg, every year into the illegal private pockets of the silver does not know how much, now the imperial court is the time to use money, if you can really clear up the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, a large amount of silver is not faced, is able to cope with the next few years of military spending, disaster relief expenses......
Zhu Youzhen still couldn't help but remind, "Going to Jiangnan is not a war, just kill a few people, if you don't get it right, you may even pull my hind legs, have you thought about it?" ”
Li Xinxin said, this rhetoric is the same as Liu Yuliang, which is really strange.
"The minister knows that the affairs of the two provinces of Zhejiang and Zhizhi cannot be solved by fighting and killing people, but he can solve problems for the saints, Li Xin is holding his head, and he also wants to pull out these silverfish of the country one by one and bleed them one by one!"
Listening to Li Xin's humor, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, but he thought that he had misunderstood what he meant, but the matter had come to this point, he couldn't remind him in front of Zhang Fangyan, otherwise the old man would notice something wrong, and if he regretted it again, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water.
Sure enough, Zhang Fangyan opened his mouth tremblingly and spoke, "Qi Qi Sheng, the old minister still has a word to say, please ask the holy quasi-old minister to speak up!" ”
"Let's be honest, don't worry!" Zhu Youzhen said this, but there was a drum in his heart!
