Volume 3 Iron and Blood Chapter 314 Seizure of power
If Qin Hui can really sit in this position, he will be the youngest official since the establishment of this three-shop position in the Han Dynasty. In the face of such a big 'temptation' and 'confusion', Qin Hui was not surprised, if Liang Sicheng told him this a year ago, he would still be ecstatic, but now Liang Sicheng is no different from a dead man in his eyes.
"Lord Taiwei Xie's favor." I saw Qin Hui bow and thank you first, and then his face turned pale, and said: "Since Tong Guan died, now in the imperial court, Cai Xiang is the most powerful. At the same time, Cai Xiang has held power for many years and has deep roots, not to mention the bureaucrats of the imperial court, and even many royal families have voted for his faction. If Lord Taiwei threw himself into his faction again, Cai Xiang's power would be enough to control the entire imperial court. At that time, even His Majesty is a great son of heaven, I am afraid that he will have to be influenced by him. Of course, it also depends on whether the Lord Taiwei is willing or not. Qin Hui's words have made Liang Sicheng's face change drastically, but what makes Liang Sicheng even more surprised is that Qin Hui is so young and can say these rebellious words so calmly!
"Virtuous nephew. With your ingenuity, it is difficult not to see that if the old man also throws himself under the command of Cai Jing's old thief, the court will be 'chaotic'!! Cai Jing's old thief will become the second Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo!! The entire Zhao court has become his plaything!!
Now it is a 'chaotic' world, and the Jin people are strong and strong, and they are eyeing each other. The Central Plains was full of thieves, and the war was endless. Have you ever had a time when many people would die!? Liang Sicheng narrowed his eyes, his face was full of cold 'color', and he shouted.
Qin Hui actually smiled calmly and replied unhurriedly: "If Lord Taiwei 'wants' to rebel, the result will not be the same?" Xiao Sheng thought that Lord Taiwei would not be such a pedantic and ignorant person. β
"You~~!!" Liang Sicheng was obedient, his face changed drastically, Huo Di waved his hand, Qin Hui saw that he seemed to be calling, but he didn't dodge, and his face didn't change his 'color'.
"Hahahaha~~~!! The virtuous nephew is absolutely right. Those lowly Li people, no matter how many deaths they have, what does it have to do with the old man!? As long as the old man can still be in a high position, he can be a master, and no matter how many people die, it is okay!! Liang Sicheng laughed loudly, looking like crazy. The corners of Qin Hui's mouth 'revealed' a 'sinister' smile, and echoed it.
When he was young, Liang Sicheng smiled, the impatience on his face had faded by half, and Qin Hui asked, "That being said. But in recent years, I have turned against the old thief, although the old thief has always put interests first, do you know what I want? I am willing to vote, and I will accept it. But judging from the 'nature' of the old thief who refuses to suffer, he will definitely make more trouble and seize this opportunity to humiliate me. What do you think is good? β
"Now that Your Majesty has learned of Yan Yun's battle situation, it must be that the imperial court will take action soon. And Cai Xiang is deeply favored by His Majesty. When the time comes, Cai Xiang will definitely send his henchmen to come.
Lord Taiwei might as well repair a book first, fly a pigeon to pass the book, and explore Cai Xiang's mouth first. If Cai Xiang agrees, I will do what he wants when I wait. If he doesn't agree, we will detain his henchmen, sit on a large army, and declare the world that Cai Xiang is plotting to kill Zhongliang, 'wanting' to rebel against the army, and 'force' Cai Xiang to comply!! β
When Liang Sicheng heard this, he couldn't help but have a light in his eyes, and applauded loudly, so according to Qin Hui's words, he quickly repaired a letter, and the flying pigeon passed the book back to Bianjing.
A few days later, Cai Jing was enjoying the 'flowers' in the 'flower' garden at home, and suddenly someone came to report that Liang Si's eldest son Liang Ying asked to see him. When Cai Jing heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "It seems that this Qin Hui really has some talent, and he persuaded Liang Sicheng, a cunning thief, to vote so quickly." Liang Sicheng, Liang Sicheng, I'm afraid you would never have imagined that the confidant you believe in has already been voted under the old man!! And you can't help but underestimate the old man's appetite. The old man wants all your power!! β
It turned out that Qin Hui had already seen that the situation was not good, and he wanted Liang Sicheng to be stubborn but incapable, and he was definitely not Cai Jing's enemy, and secretly 'fornicated' with Cai Jing. At the court that day, many of the crimes listed by Cai Jing were secretly exposed by Qin Hui. And Cai Jing wants to use this move to occupy all of Liang Sicheng's forces for himself, and he has no intention of containing. Poor Liang Sicheng is still 'blinded' in the dark now, and he doesn't know that a catastrophe is coming.
So, Cai Jing met Liang Ying and agreed to Liang Sicheng's like-mindedness. is also very concerned about the recent situation of the Liang family, and said that now that the Liang family has lost power, it is inevitable that the enemy will retaliate, so Liang Ying will bring all the family members to live in Xiangguo Mansion. Liang Ying was obedient and overjoyed, thanked endlessly, and immediately packed up her bags after going back, and took dozens of people from her family to Xiangguo Mansion, leaving only her brother Liang Mo to look after the house. After Liang Ying came, Cai Jing looked like a good old man, not only set aside seven or eight houses in the entire East Courtyard for the Liang family to live in, but also arranged for servants and maids to be 'women', and all kinds of furniture and furnishings were of the highest quality. Liang Ying felt 'excited' inexhaustible, and even recognized the thief as her father, calling Cai Jing her father-in-law, and at the same time did not forget to repair the book and pass it back to Juyong, and told her father everything in detail.
In other words, Liang Sicheng has been in a state of distress these days, anxious for Liang Ying's reply. On this day, Liang Ying finally sent a reply. Liang Sicheng read the reply, and couldn't help but be stunned, his brows were furrowed, and his face was suspicious: "The old thief has always been unprofitable, and he refuses to suffer, why did he suddenly turn to death?"
Now the old thief is willing to take such a big risk to accept the old man's family, if this matter comes out, it will inevitably attract gossip. Your Majesty is ridiculously confused at times, but sometimes he is 'shrewd'. The old thief has been with His Majesty for many years, how can he not know. There must be demons in this matter. β
Qin Hui was obedient, and couldn't help frowning secretly, seeing Liang Sicheng's eyes 'color', he hurriedly bowed and replied: "According to Xiaosheng's expectations, Cai Xiang's move is to appease Lord Taiwei, so that Lord Taiwei can handle the affairs of the army with peace of mind, which is a way for Cai Xiang to show goodwill." β
"Hmph. Qin Hui, you are too naΓ―ve! I have been an official in the same dynasty as the old thief for many years, and the old man knows exactly what kind of person he is. You don't have to comfort me, for the old thief persuaded my son to live in his house, and he said it beautifully, but he wanted to keep them under watch in the house and take them hostage. Let me cast a rat trap and don't dare to act rashly!! Liang Sicheng snorted coldly, and actually said the depth in one word. Qin Hui couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this, and his eyes were a little flustered. Fortunately, Liang Sicheng was angry in his heart at this time, and he didn't notice Qin Hui's abnormality.
"What the Captain said is very true. Do you need to send a letter immediately to teach the eldest prince to evacuate the Xiangguo Mansion quickly? Qin Hui asked in a condensed voice. Liang Sicheng sighed and said lightly: "It's too late now. Ying'er's letter said that His Majesty had sent Wang Boyan to set off from Bianjing five or six days ago, and that he would be able to reach Juyong in less than three days. The limelight is tight at this time, if Ying'er withdraws from Xiangguo Mansion at this time, not only will she offend the old thief, but my enemies will also target them, and the gains outweigh the losses. I just hope that the old thief will not throw any 'tricks'.
Eh, after so many years of fighting openly and secretly, he still can't beat this old fox after all. That's it, if I can go back to Bianjing this time, I will honestly be a dog by the old thief's side, at least I can enjoy my old age in peace. β
Liang Sicheng seemed a little disheartened and sighed. Then he glanced at Qin Hui, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are still young and have a lot of prospects." Although you have not been with me for a long time, you have been loyal and have advised me, and I will never forget your credit. After I go back, I will strongly recommend Cai Xiang, and with your ability, you will soon be able to sit in the position of Jing Zhaoyin. β
In fact, compared to Cai Jing, Qin Hui hopes to follow Liang Sicheng more in his heart. After all, although Liang Sicheng is moody, as long as he does not disobey his will, he is intimate and obedient. Liang Sicheng is also a person who will commemorate old love.
But Cai Jing is not, this old minister who leans towards the government and the opposition has won countless rising stars and ministers of the court. But many of these people end up dead with no place to bury. Those who stayed became Cai Jing's henchmen. And these people, without exception, have one characteristic, that is, moderation. It is precisely because of this that Cai Jing will keep them by his side. Regarding the forces of Cai Jing's faction, Qin Hui investigated very clearly, after all, that would be his future residence. And he also understands that with his full-fledged wings in the future, Cai Jing will definitely not tolerate him!
"Captain Liang, Captain Liang. Don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame it, blame you for your 'chest' lack of ambition, and you don't know the art of royalty, obviously you don't have the ability, but you want to sit in the position of this captain. Qin Hui's mind turned, two 'fine' lights flashed in his eyes, and his face was shocked, and he bowed his hand to thank him.
Three days later, Wang Boyan's convoy finally came to Juyong Pass. Liang Sicheng greeted him with a group of generals in Guanzhong. Wang Boyan first preached the holy message to appease the generals. After Liang Sicheng took the lead in thanking him, he saw that Wang Boyan had no intention of announcing here, so he invited him into the customs.
But looking at this Wang Boyan is seven feet tall, his hair and beard are neatly trimmed, he is wearing an official uniform, a crown and a hat, and his eyes are majestic and serious.
After listening to Liang Sicheng's words, Wang Boyan nodded, and was about to raise his feet, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is Han Shizhong?" β
Liang Sicheng was obedient, and his face couldn't help but change. At this time, in the crowd of people behind him, a burly and huge, tiger-eyed soldier walked out with a sigh of relief, and replied: "Meet the young master, the last general is Han Shizhong!" β
Wang Boyan saw that Han Shizhong was wearing a red tiger giant armor, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his momentum was terrifying, so he couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and said, "Well, it's really a tiger general." His Majesty and Cai are both favored by General Han, and I hope that General Han will not live up to the hopes of His Majesty and Cai Xiang. β
When Han Shizhong heard this, his expression was shocked, and he thanked him loudly, his voice was loud, and Wang Boyan was shocked when he heard it. Liang Sicheng heard something else, this Wang Boyan is Cai Jing's henchman, and he obviously wants to win over Han Shizhong for Cai Jing.
When he was young, Wang Boyan was led by Liang Sicheng to the enemy tower. Wang Boyan then read out the holy decree, which probably means that Liang Sicheng has not been effective in fighting in recent years, thinking that he has reached the twilight of his life and has a weak heart. At the same time, the imperial court has heavy government affairs now, and it is precisely the need for talents. Zhao Ji taught Liang Sicheng to 'hand' over the army under his command to Han Shizhong, and moved Han Shizhong to be the 'servant' doctor and temporarily resided in the army. As for Liang Sicheng's 'handover' of the army on the same day, he was limited to return to the DPRK within half a month.
After Wang Boyan finished speaking, Liang Sicheng's face suddenly changed greatly, and it would take at least ten days for Juyong to reach Bianjing, which means that he only had five days left. And he never thought that Zhao Ji would be so direct and would take away his military power as soon as he came.
And Han Shizhong's tiger eyes are bright, and he has a feeling of raising his eyebrows, but he has been an officer in the army for many years, but he is not in a hurry to receive orders, but looks at Liang Sicheng.
Liang Sicheng seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, his whole face was pale and colorless, and his old body couldn't stop trembling.
"Huh? How? Isn't it up to Lord Taiwei to take the order quickly? Wang Boyan narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
"Old. Minister.. Pick it up! Liang Sicheng's voice trembled, and he raised his hand to accept the holy decree. Wang Boyan saw Liang Sicheng, who was in despair, but he had no pity, and said coldly: "Time is in a hurry, please don't delay it." And General Han, you are about to become the commander of the 100,000 Song army, Your Majesty hopes that you can recover the lost territory as soon as possible, and I hope you will work harder. β
