Chapter 1068: Go Home
The cabinet sent to Shandong soon.
Now that Wang Xian has recovered his original appearance, he naturally can't mix in the White Lotus Sect army anymore, but works with Liu Sheng to 'co-control the White Lotus Sect' in Qingzhou. He was originally the governor of Qincha Shandong, and no one had revoked his official title, so he should naturally fight on the front line of the fight against the White Lotus Sect......
So he and Liu Sheng received a court mail from the cabinet at the same time, and earlier, news came from Jinan that the imperial court had ordered Chu Yan, the political envoy, to negotiate secretly with the White Lotus Sect, using the same court mail from the cabinet......
"Hehe," shaking the book sent to his court, Liu Shengwei smiled: "When did the cabinet have so much power to mobilize me, the minister?" He took a sip and said, "How old are they, let me go back, I'll go back?"
"Behind this, it is naturally the emperor's intention." Wang Xian said lightly.
"Why didn't the emperor give an order directly?" Liu Sheng laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that we won't obey and lose his face?" ”
"It's for fear of provoking us." Wang Xian sighed and said, "It seems that our little trick really can't hide from the emperor." He's already treated us like enemies. ”
"That's nature, if you talk about power, no one in the world can compare to the emperor." Liu Sheng thought deeply and said: "It's just that it's too heavy and light......"
"Indeed." Wang Xian nodded, and said thoughtfully: "The emperor started with power and became a great treasure, so he will naturally be superstitious about power and power, and when he gets old, he can't extricate himself......"
"I want to see, do the British dare to come to Shandong?!" Liu Sheng smiled and said: "With Zhang Fu's cleverness, without the protection of the army, he would not dare to set foot in Shandong half a step if he was killed!" ”
Seeing that Liu Sheng had the idea of killing Zhang Fu as long as he dared to enter Beijing, he would be killed and blamed on the White Lotus Sect. Wang Xian couldn't help but feel a chill, Liu Sheng, an old soldier, once he has a second heart, he will be more ruthless and lawless than anyone else.
"But the two of us, it's better to go back to one." Wang Xian sighed, picked up his share of the court mail from the table, and slowly opened it: "If you don't give any face, how can you talk about it?" ”
"Do you think that the emperor really let Chu Yan and the White Lotus Sect fail to negotiate?" Liu Sheng laughed and said, "It's just delaying time!" As the highest military and political chief in Shandong, the emperor's former confidant and favorite general, he naturally understands Zhu Di's thoughts very well.
"Hey, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is nowhere to do nothing." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled: "The emperor's attitude is very intriguing, it seems that he simply wants to delay time, and he is not sincere in recruiting peace." But if this is the case, it should be ordered directly, and there is no need to send it to the court. The use of the court message shows that the emperor's attitude is not simple, and once the situation develops beyond his control, the fake peace talks may turn into real peace talks......"
"Well, it makes sense...... Liu Sheng nodded slowly: "If as you expected, the silver of the imperial court will not improve next year, but will continue to deteriorate, and we will work harder in Shandong, is it possible for the emperor to make the fake become true?" ”
"Yes, we have to add a fire so that the emperor can understand our determination and ability." Wang Xian sighed lightly and said: "After being in that seat for a long time, there will always be an illusion of invincibility in the world, and if you don't pop this soap bubble, you won't be sober." ”
"So, you want to stimulate the emperor in person?" Liu Sheng looked at Wang Xian with wide eyes.
"This errand can be done very beautifully." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"I don't have your ability, and the old man has to sit in Shandong!" Liu Sheng laughed strangely, and was not polite to Wang Xian at all. But then again, the reason why he fell to the point where he had to raise Kou to protect himself and cut himself off from the court was because Wang Xian killed the King of Han. It's good that Liu Sheng doesn't settle accounts with Wang Xian, and there is really nothing polite to be polite.
Wang Xian didn't plan to let Liu Sheng enter Beijing, so he just laughed at him a few words. After that, Wang Xian said: "Okay, I'll set off tomorrow and strive to arrive in Beijing before the year." Said with a self-deprecating smile: "If the court doesn't kill people in the first month, you can feel at ease, so that you won't be clicked as soon as you arrive in the capital." ”
"You don't have to go to Beijing. What can't be explained in the epistle? Liu Sheng didn't have the courage to enter Beijing, and seeing that Wang Xian was still in the mood to laugh, he said with affection: "Why don't you take that risk." ”
"When people are old, they live to save face, and the emperor is even more so, he doesn't give any face, how can he let the emperor get off the donkey?" Wang Xian raised his eyebrows as he spoke, and said proudly: "Besides, the emperor wants to kill me, but it's not so easy." ”
"Hehe...... Liu Sheng nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, you are now famous all over the world, backed by Shandong, you can't find a suitable excuse, and the emperor can't kill you directly." He said with a tense expression: "But, what if he traps you in Beijing?" ”
"It's up to Master Hou to rescue you......" Wang Xian blinked and smiled, and said a little heartlessly.
Liu Shengren is old and refined, and he can't see that Wang Xian has other hole cards, so he is also relieved, and said with a smile: "Yes, I think I am the emperor and the eunuch is ......not in a hurry."
"I still have to rely on Master Hou." Wang Xian smiled and whispered to Liu Sheng about the next arrangements.
Liu Sheng stopped laughing, pursed his lips, and listened carefully, lest he miss a word.
The fire darkened their faces, and the smell of intrigue permeated the room......
After discussing with Liu Sheng, Wang Xian left Qingzhou the next day, and entered the provincial capital the next day before the gate of Jinan was closed.
Although the war in Shandong has continued for many years and has a tendency to become more and more intense, the city of Jinan is bustling with pedestrians, and it seems to be more prosperous than when Wang Xian left. This is because Wang Xian has been staying in the poor countryside for half a year and has not entered the big city for a long time; Second, after the White Lotus Rebellion, all the officials and wealthy families in the province poured into the provincial capital for refuge, bringing a lot of wealth and business opportunities to the city that had not been seen for a long time......
But Wang Xian had no intention of watching the changes in Jinan City, so he galloped on the street market, and in a blink of an eye he arrived on the street outside Wanzhu Garden.
There is the world's first famous spring Baotu Spring in Wanzhu Garden, which has been the residence of the princes and eunuchs in the past dynasties, and the door has been prosperous since ancient times. However, the street in front of Wang Xian and his party seemed empty, only a few sparse and scattered idle street vendors, listlessly huddled in the streets and alleys, lifeless. It was as if all the people of the city had shunned this place......
And that's exactly what happened.
The sound of Wang Xian and the others' horses' hooves immediately alarmed those idle street vendors, and they all brushed their prestige. When they saw the people clearly, those idle street vendors hurriedly turned their heads away, their eyes flickering, dodging, and they didn't dare to look at Wang Xian and the others.
"It's the fanzi ...... Dongchang" From a distance, Dai Hua could smell the smell of those guys, and whispered to Wang Xian.
Wang Xian nodded, ignored those fans, and walked straight to the closed gate of Wanzhuyuan.
Looking at the closed vermilion gate, there were still traces of knife slashing, Wang Xian took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, and knocked on the knocker himself.
"Who?!" There was a vigilant voice inside.
"I, Wang Xian!" Wang Xian's voice was full of irrepressible excitement.
The inside was stunned for a long time before someone looked through the crack in the door. When he saw Wang Xian's face clearly, there was an excited shout that changed his tune: "What an adult! Go and report to Madame! Your Excellency is back! ”
The original dead silence in the Wanzhu Garden exploded all of a sudden!
"Your Excellency is back!"
"Your Excellency is back!"
"Your Excellency is back!"
Countless voices of surprise resounded, the gate of Wanzhuyuan suddenly opened, and Zhou Yi and other brocade guards rushed out, knelt on the ground, looked at Wang Xian with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "My lord, are you back......?"
These iron-clad men, bleeding and sweating without tears, are crying one by one at the moment, you can imagine how they have come over in the past half a year......
Wang Xian was also full of tears, hurriedly took two steps forward, held the arms of Zhou Yi and the others tightly, nodded vigorously, and was also choked and speechless.
"Look what, get out!" Outside the door, Dai Hua's scolding sounded, obviously those Dongchang fans came to probe their brains.
"Let's go in!" Wang Xian pulled up Zhou Yi beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and hissed: "Good brother, thank you!" ”
"Come in, my lord, Madame and Miss Lingxiao are inside......" Zhou Yi wiped his tears with his cuffs, he knew that at this time, he should not be noisy.
Before Wang Xian could speak, he saw a white shadow rushing from the backyard, and the figure came to Wang Xian with a gust of fragrant wind, and then stood still.
"Lingxiao......" Wang Xian looked at Lingxiao, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, with red eyes, and opened his arms.
"You're back!" Lingxiao stared at Wang Xian, and his big eyes were slowly filled with tears, crackling and falling down like beads with broken threads.
As he spoke, he threw himself into his arms and cried loudly. "Woo, I thought I'd never see you again......"
Wang Xiantan put his arm around Lingxiao's thin shoulders and gently patted her slender back, tears blurred his eyes, and he couldn't help hugging Lingxiao tighter.
After comforting Lingxiao for a while, Wang Xian saw the jade musk deer supporting a sick figure and appearing under the weeping flower gate in the distance......
Looking at Lin Qing'er with a sickly face and tearful eyes, Wang Xian froze for a moment......
Lingxiao sensed Wang Xian's reaction, and didn't need to look back to know who was coming, only to realize that he was just excited for a while, leaving Lin Qing'er behind. Pretty blushed, she hurriedly let go of Wang Xian and stepped aside, but one hand couldn't help but still hold the corner of his clothes tightly, for fear that he would run away.
"Qing'er ......" Wang Xian quickened his pace and walked towards his wife with tears.
"Official ......" Lin Qing'er left behind the reservedness of her mother, forgot about the pain on her body, walked two steps towards Wang Xian, and then changed to trot, who knew that her legs were weak and her knees were weak, and she was about to fall to the ground forward.
"Be careful!" Everyone's exclamations sounded, and Lingxiao came back to his senses, and it was too late to catch Lin Qing'er.
But seeing Wang Xian in the blink of an eye, he came to Lin Qing'er, stretched out his arms to catch her, and hugged her tightly in his arms......
