Chapter 97: The Stakes
(Brothers, give a red vote!) Strive to maintain a daily ticket of more than 12,000 for a long time. )
"Lord Gu wants to completely sever relations with Huaidong, which is also the way to survive with a broken arm," Lin Mengde sat down and said slowly, "According to the truth, Huaidong has the greatest merit in supporting the establishment, and Lord Gu is the most jealous of the new emperor; But in fact, the new emperor and Chen Yue and others are the most wary of Huaidong, if Lord Gu is still inextricably linked with Huaidong, and even see that you and Lord Gu have the possibility of a former enmity with your son-in-law, the new emperor and Jiangning people will use the excuse of supporting the Gu family to blame the Gu family, and not give the Gu family a chance to turn over, Dengzhou Town and the two Huai salt and silver are all chess pieces that Jiang Ning can use...... On the contrary, the more completely you break with Lord Gu, Huaidong and Qingzhou, the new emperor will temporarily give Lord Gu and Qingzhou a chance to breathe, and use Qingzhou to contain Huaidong. ”
Lin Jian was silent, his eyes swept over the faces of the people sitting under the hall, and his gaze stopped on Gao Zongting's face for a long time.
Gao Zongting returned to Chongzhou with Lin Lian, and had already met with everyone in the morning.
Gao Zongting's reputation is very high, and his relationship with Huaidong is close, and he has made great contributions in supporting the establishment. When he first joined Huaidong, he served in the canonical books, and was listed with Sun Jingxuan, Sun Jingtang and other superintendents, even in the traditional atmosphere of seniority, it was acceptable.
Although it was Lin Mengde who spoke, I am afraid that the whole rhetoric was discussed by the cadres in the hall in the morning.
"Xun Niang has already moved out of the mansion, you can't let me be a white-eyed wolf and marry another wife back immediately!" Lin Lian's face was calm, and he said, "I know the affairs of the inner house, I don't need you to beat the side drum here to remind me if you have anything to do, let's discuss other things......
"How can we ask about the family affairs of adults?" Lin Lian's family affairs, Lin Mengde was able to interject, and it was not appropriate for others to speak, but Lin Mengde just got up, so he directly blocked Lin Mengde's words, Qin Chengzu sat opposite Lin Mengde, and saw that his face was a little embarrassed, so he interjected, "At the beginning, Zhang Xie and others jointly killed Tang Gong, and Zhang Xie and other thieves naturally gained the trust of Emperor Chongguan, but I have to say that the Dongyang family got more opportunities for development after that, and this is probably the reason......" So far, there is no excessive extension, I also know that Lin Tie is a very assertive person, and their duty is not to point out the stakes, not to manipulate Lin Tie to make decisions - if Lin Tie can be manipulated by others, Huaidong will not have the immediate achievements at all, and Gu Wuchen will suffer a big loss this time.
Lin Jian sighed softly.
Jiang Ning's kicking of Gu Wuchen to Qingzhou as an envoy to preside over the defense of Linzi and Qingzhou was also an unavoidable choice due to the situation.
First of all, the Qingzhou Army has taken over Linzi Province, which borders Yanhu, and needs a minister to preside over the defense; Taking this opportunity to kick Gu Wuchen away from Jiangning and go to Qingzhou to preside over the military and political affairs, officials who do not know the details of the government and the opposition will also think that this arrangement is appropriate and will not think too much.
Secondly, since Tang Haoxin presided over the transportation of the Laijiao River in Qingzhou, almost all the officials in Qingzhou came from the Dongyang line, and they were local forces, such as Du Juefu and others, who also completely won over the Dongyang system.
Qingzhou, whether it is traditionally or from the actual control of the military power, belongs to the sphere of influence of the Dongyang system.
Within the Dongyang system, although Gu Siyuan inherited the political inheritance left in Qingzhou after Tang Haoxin's death, Lin Bin's influence on Qingzhou was not shallow.
Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan and other Yangxin people don't say that the Qingzhou Army was adapted from the original Qingzhou Yun Army, and a considerable part of the soldiers of the original Yun Army were the Xihe Congregation controlled by the original Sun family - the Sun family is now the core figure of Huaidong.
If Gu Wuchen is detained in Jiangning, and Gu Siyuan's roots in Qingzhou are not very deep - Jiangning's deeper concern is that Lin Jian is afraid that Lin Jian will take the opportunity to win over a group of people in Qingzhou and empty Gu Siyuan, Chen/Yuanliang and others, so as to incorporate Qingzhou into Huaidong's sphere of influence.
This situation is too terrifying for Jiang Ninglai.
Emperor Yongxing's heart was contradictory, he hated Gu Wuchen who tried to support King Lu to the core, but the current situation forced him to make the choice of dividing the Dongyang system, rather than allowing Lin Lian to take advantage of the situation to completely suppress the Gu family father and son, so that the Dongyang system completely became a vassal of Lin Lian and Huaidong.
Kicking Gu Wuchen to Qingzhou as an envoy can strengthen the control of the Gu family's father and son over the Qingzhou forces, and only in this way can the Dongyang forces be more completely divided into two factions, Huaidong and Qingzhou.
After Gu Wuchen arrived in Qingzhou, he put on a break with Huaidong, in addition to hating Lin Tie and Huaidong, it was also a speculation on the mentality of the new emperor and many forces in Jiangning.
The more completely Qingzhou broke with Huaidong, the more Jiang Ning could tolerate the Gu family's father and son to take a breath in Qingzhou. If Qingzhou bows to Huaidong and submits softly, Jiang Ning's big stick will be smashed on the heads of the Gu family father and son - at this time, Huaidong wants to help the Gu family father and son, but it will end up with a two-sided unpleasant end.
As Lin Mengde said, Jiang Ning can still restrict Qingzhou in matters such as Lianghuai Salt and Silver and Dengzhou Town.
Before the incident, the original plan was to allocate 400,000 taels of silver to Qingzhou every year from two Huai salt and silver, and gradually weaken the town of Dengzhou, so that the Qingzhou army would fully take charge of the defense of the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula.
In the current situation, Jiangning will cut the amount of silver drawn from Qingzhou or even deduct it completely, and Dengzhou Town will not only not be weakened, but may even directly set up an envoy in Dengzhou to contain Qingzhou - these two incidents have a direct and fatal impact on Qingzhou's forces, but the initiative is in Jiangning's hands.
Lin Jian sat on the chair and thought carefully, maybe it was a better choice to let Xun Niang move out of the mansion right now.
If you only consider the political stakes and drive Xunniang to Qingzhou, it is the best choice, and it is also what Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Gao Zongting and others want to see. But Lin Jian didn't treat Xun Niang so cruelly for the sake of that little bit of interest.
Lin Jian looked at the people sitting in the hall and said, "If Huaidong wants to rise, it can only rely on itself fundamentally. Jiang Ning actually wanted to use Qingzhou to contain Huaidong, and fundamentally, he still despised us, which is a good thing. Sometimes, this kind of struggle is inevitable, but it is not necessarily a good thing to get too deep and overdone......"
Retreating from the East Ya, Lin Jian went to the northern foothills, summoned Liu Yue'er, Xiaoman, and Yingsleeve to have dinner together in Jun Xun's courtyard.
Liu and Xiaoman are concubines, and Yingsleeve is cousin, but in Lin Lian's eyes, they are four wives and concubines.
Men pursue fame and fortune, but behind fame and fortune, there is nothing more than the harmony of wives and concubines, and the stability of the family.
Lin Tie was going to sleep here tonight, Gu Junxun didn't want to be a pet, he wanted to push Lin Tie out, Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman sat on the table and said that they didn't want Lin Tie to go over, Gu Ying's sleeve face turned red-
Gu Junxun's eyes are blind, and he turns under his nose all day long, and he also knows what the relationship between Lin Tie and his cousin is, but the relationship between Lin Tie and Gu Yingsleeve is destined not to be made public.
Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman left first after dinner, Jun Xun drove Lin Jian out of the courtyard, and Lin Jian could only go with Gu Yingsleeve - Lin Jian also wanted to talk more about the stakes behind it, so that Yingsleeve could comfort and comfort Jun Xun more. He doesn't have much energy to get involved in the trivial things in the back house.
The two of them rushed back to the courtyard where Yingsleeve lived alone, and drove the sixth lady Shan Rou to sit in Yingsleeve's room to find her, and when they saw the two of them coming back sneakily, they smiled and said: "The family hasn't been fed yet, so I'll take care of the food stealing first......"
Ying Sleeve stepped forward to pinch her mouth, Shan Roujiao flashed away with a smile, and said with a smile: "No matter what you are, staying will grow a needle eye......" pushed the door to squeeze out from Lin Lian's side, but gave Lin Lian a handful of thin waist.
"Don't seduce me!" Shan Rou's voice softened, supporting Lin Bin's chest, and her bright eyes stared at Lin Jian vigorously, wanting to eat him.
"Will you stay?" Lin Jian said.
"Who is doing this nonsense with you?" Shan Rou refused with resentment in her mouth, but turned her head to look at Gu Yingsleeve in the advanced room.
Gu Ying's sleeves were flushed, she didn't think about asking the two of them to sleep at the same time, but Shan Rou's eyes full of affection also made her heart pound, and it aroused the surging desire in her heart, and she shouted in her mouth: "Get out of here......" It's just Lin Lian's hand that touched her buttocks, and she was reluctant to push it away.
In the room with sleeves, I messed around for half a night, but fortunately, the two mature women also knew the interest and were happy to ride across, and Lin Jian slept for half a night, and his energy was still full. The fire in the backyard did not burn, but the Cao family in the west finally made a move, and on September 15, a letter came from Jingzhou that the Cao family left Chencang in early September to occupy the western part of central Han.
Chencang is Fengxiang Mansion (now Baoji City west of Xi'an), and the Chencang Road referred to by "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secret Crossing Chencang" passes through Chencang County, Fengxiang Prefecture.
Chencang Road out of Chencang, through the Qinling Mountains, through Feng County, and then through Shannan Hui County along the Jialing River, through the southeast of Luoyang, that is, into Hanzhong.
Hanzhong Mansion originally belonged to Qin County, and later divided into Qin County and divided into Jinghu. Hanzhong is the most important town in southern Qin, not to control the entire Hanzhong Basin, but from southern Shaanxi into Sichuan and Shu Micang Road and Jinniu Road, all start from Hanzhong Mansion.
The Cao family took Hanzhong without telling him, which was the harbinger of the army's southward march into Sichuan and Shu.
On this big chessboard in the world, the last weighty chess piece finally chose to take advantage of this opportunity to take a step with profound impact.
At the beginning of receiving the letter, Lin Jian summoned Qin Chengzu, Gao Zongting and others to analyze the possible impact of the Cao family's "taking Hanzhong in the south and entering Sichuan and Shu" on the general trend of the world at this time.
"Emperor Yongxing ascended the throne in Jiangning, and the Cao family neither persuaded him to stand up, nor did he send envoys to congratulate him, and remained silent from beginning to end. The Cao family probably had the intention to use this as a bargaining chip in the end, and finally forced Jiang Ning to admit the fact that they had seized Sichuan, Qin and Hanzhong," Gao Zongting said, "The timing they chose was really good, Yanhu was temporarily unable to organize a large-scale offensive in Yanji, Emperor Yongxing was newly established in Jiangning, the situation was initially decided, and the most important thing was to build a defense line in Hehuai, and both sides could only watch the Cao family swallow Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu......"
