Fenghou

Lu Wei sighed, "Okay, this is the last time I will help you."

"Good! Good! Guaranteed to be the last time."

Lu Wei whispered: "More than a month ago, His Highness wrote a letter to Liu Ziyu of Fujian Road, inviting him to come to Jingzhao to be the chief officer of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and at the same time replace Zhang Miao, who is in poor health and is about to retire, as a political officer. , Liu Ziyu replied to the letter in the past two days, but I don't know the specific content."

Lu Tang's spirit lifted, this information is important!He hesitated again and said, "Give me a few more taels of silver! I haven't been able to get any money these two days, and I still have no money to eat!"

Lu Wei couldn't restrain himself any longer, so he took five taels of silver and handed it to him, "Go quickly, if Li Mei sees it, she will definitely take the silver back."

Lu Tang was so frightened that he quickly put the money into his arms and ran away.

After Lu Hang walked away, Lu Wei ordered: "Prepare the carriage and go to Yongwang's Mansion!"

……

After listening to Lu Wei's report in the outer study, Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "He came in time!"

"When the news of the lowly promotion was published in the "Beijing News", I knew he would definitely come. This bastard has no other skills. As long as it is profitable, he will definitely come after hearing the news."

Chen Qing walked a few steps and said: "This matter is done very well, try to keep as little contact with him in the future, he will affect you, unless I arrange for you to contact him."

Lu Wei nodded, "I really don't want to pay attention to this kind of person. My father died, and he didn't even go home. It's like a beast. The third grandfather was ruined by him in his life. Fortunately, there is still an eldest son, Lu Fan. The third grandfather was buried at the end of his life."

Chen Qing said indifferently: "If there is a cause, there will be an effect. You can't blame others for the evil that your third grandfather did!"

Lu Wei sighed a few times, said goodbye and left, Chen Qing pondered for a moment, then wrote a pigeon letter to Hu Yun, and ordered his soldiers to send it to the Intelligence Agency.

It's time for his second plan to be implemented simultaneously.

The first thousand and 340 chapters and five divorces

Lin'an, at noon, the newspaper sellers started running on the street again, and at the other end were anxious readers, most of them were in teahouses, and eagerly opened and read after buying a copy.

Not only to read the news, but many people also want to read serialized novels. The serialized one is "Dragon and Babu", which tells the story of martial arts during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, except for the same storyline, other details and text are completely different from the later "Dragon Babu", which is a serial novel written by Zhao Qiaoyun.

In the teahouse, Wang Bo's staff member Jia Yingfang had already received Hu Yun's instructions, and quietly opened the poetry column, and found what he wanted to see, a poem written by Liu Ziyu.

Tiruiyan Buckle Ice Ancient Buddha

I heard that the thousand-year-old tree in Ruiyan Temple is in spring, and I am very happy, so I wrote a poem to remember it.

Thousands of chapters of ancient wood cover the ground, and the breeze blows and whispers.

The incarnation of a great man has passed away for a long time, and his return to life has no past or present.

To make a war go away, one must know that the original force is profound.

Central Plains Chizi Fang fish meat, Yuanguang Nian Ji Wuxin.

……

One of the tasks Wang Bo gave Jia Yingfang was to read newspapers every day and collect useful information, so Jia Yingfang was a very useful bridge, and he was able to convey Chen Qing's intentions to Qin Hui through Wang Bo.

In order to encourage Jia Yingfang, Chen Qing also specially gave him a promise to let him be the magistrate of Lin'an County in the future. Jia Yingfang has hope and will carry out the tasks assigned to him by Hu Yun every time.

After reading the newspaper, Jia Yingfang grabbed a handful of tea money and threw it on the table, then got up unhurriedly and went back to the county office. When he returned to the county office, he went straight to Wang Bo and said with a smile: "Today, the county lord has some news to express." !"

Wang Bo cheered up. It had been a long time since he had acted in front of his uncle. The main reason was that there was no news that no one else could see but only he could understand. They were all straightforward headlines that everyone read. understand.

"What news?" Wang Bo asked anxiously.

Jia Yingfang spread out the newspaper, pointed to the poem and said, "This is a new poem by Liu Ziyu, did the county lord see anything?"

"How did the Beijing News publish Liu Ziyu's poem?"

Jia Yingfang smiled slightly and said: "Liu Ziyu is a contributor to the "Beijing News". I often see him commenting on current affairs in the "Beijing News". Naturally, the poems he wrote will be published first in the "Beijing News."

"I see!"

Wang Bo looked at the poem carefully again, read it several times, but did not understand the meaning, he frowned and asked, "I don't understand what it means, sir, please advise?"

"This poem is Liu Ziyu's self-narration of his state of mind. The key is that the dead tree is in spring. Doesn't the county lord understand the meaning of it?"

Wang Bo read a few words in a low voice, "Spring comes with a dead tree!"Withered trees are in spring! 'Could it be... He suddenly understood, "Could it be that he wants to defect to Chen Qing and start over?"

"That should be the meaning. Liu Ziyu is a veteran of the Western Army, and he is very kind to Chen Qing. His three sons are all high-ranking officials in the Western Army. How can Chen Qing not use him? Seeing that the Yong Kingdom is about to be established, how can he not?" Withered trees come spring?"

"That's right! That's what I mean, I'm going to find my uncle, and I'm going now!"

Wang Bo knew his uncle hated Zhang Jun, and Liu Ziyu was Zhang Jun's number one confidant, so how could his uncle not make good use of this opportunity?

He seemed impatient, took the newspaper and rushed away excitedly, but Jia Yingfang sighed secretly, this plan of alienation is too obvious, can he deceive the other party?

……

In Changfeng Teahouse, Wang Mu drank tea and asked Hu Yun with a smile, "This estrangement plan has already been used once. For Li Gang, remember it!" "Water Dragon Song·Guangwu Battle of Kunyang" caused Li Gang to be appointed as the head of the two lakes. As a result, they lost their official career because of this poem, and now they are repeating the old trick, will they still be fooled?"

Hu Yun smiled slightly: "It depends on who the other party is and what kind of power structure it is. As long as conditions permit, even if some tricks are used a hundred times, the other party will still be fooled!"

"Are conditions allowed now?" Wang Mu asked with a smile.

"Of course it is allowed!"

Hu Yun raised his brows and said: "What is the situation now? Qin Hui and Zhang Jun's secret fight, Xu Xiantu's character and position make it impossible for him to be the right minister, but Zhang Jun will, he was originally the right minister, and after being demoted, it made Qin Hui cheaper .

This time, Zhang Jun made the first contribution in suppressing the Huaixi army's rebellion. The emperor trusted Zhang Jun very much, and the emperor agreed to all the appointments he proposed. How could Qin Hui not be jealous?In order to protect the right minister, Qin Hui must catch Zhang Jun's handle. Liu Ziyu is the best opportunity. Even if Qin Hui knew that it was a tactic of alienation, he would definitely adopt it. In his heart, his personal interests are more important than the interests of the court. ! "

"What about the emperor's position? Can't he see that this is a divorce plan?"

"Why is it a estrangement? Liu Ziyu's three sons are all high-ranking officials in the Western Army. His nephew is about to lead an army to attack Fujian Road. If Liu Ziyu thinks about the interests of himself and his family, he will definitely betray Fujian Road. The emperor knows very well. The danger here, how could he entrust his country and country on this danger?"

"He may learn his lesson this time."

Hu Yun still shook his head, "Someone's personality is innate, and it cannot be changed. What the emperor cannot change is his suspicion. He won't even believe his own confidants. Will he believe Liu Ziyu, who was born in the Western Army? He won't believe it. Liu Ziyu was loyal to the Song Dynasty, and he gave up the interests of his son and family. No one with a normal mind would believe it, let alone the suspicious emperor. As long as the emperor has a little courage, he will not let King Yong to this level today.”

"You say it like this, it seems that this is the case, and you will jump into the pit even if you know it is."

Hu Yun took a sip of tea and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong did write a letter to Liu Ziyu before, inviting him to go to Jingzhao to be in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and to enter the Internal Affairs Hall to participate in political affairs. Liu Ziyu also replied, as if saying that he was not in good health and could not Taking on such an important task, and saying that he was born as a military general and not capable of serving as a prime minister, he just declined King Yong’s suggestion. This letter was relayed by me, and only I know the content, but the emperor does not know. He will definitely think that Liu Ziyu wants to come again. One step, the so-called spring on a dead tree is all locked, so this divorce plan will definitely succeed, unless the emperor himself wants to give up Fujian Road, then there is really no way."

Wang Mu laughed and said, "Then I'll just wait and see!"

……

Qin Hui actually saw the poem in the newspaper, and he also faintly felt that this was a tactic by the Western Army, but at the same time, he also realized that this was a good opportunity to bring down Liu Ziyu and suppress Zhang Jun's rising momentum.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Why does the Beijing News publish Liu Ziyu's poem?"

Without clarifying this issue, he will have no way to explain to the emperor that this was not deliberately published by the "Beijing News"! "

Fortunately, Jia Yingfang had made it clear before, otherwise Wang Bo would not be able to answer his uncle's question. Wang Bo hurriedly said: "My nephew often reads Liu Ziyu's comments on current affairs in the "Beijing News". ", so it is normal for "Beijing News" to publish his poems."

Qin Hui nodded, saying it made sense, Liu Ziyu indeed often published articles in the "Beijing News".

"Yes, you have performed very well this time, you have a keen eye, and you are already able to stand on your own. I will find opportunities to promote you!"

Wang Bo was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "Thank you uncle for your support!"

The first thousand and 340 chapters and six divorces

Qin Hui pondered for a moment, then got up and went to the court hall to meet the emperor.

Coincidentally, Emperor Zhao Gou also saw Liu Ziyu's poem in the "Beijing News", which made him feel very uncomfortable. Who is he talking about?Are you talking about himself?

In the past two days, Zhao Gou was really worried about Fujian Road. He received two pieces of information in a row. One was that Chen Qing sent general Liu Qiong to lead 6 troops to reinforce Quanzhou, bringing the strength of Quanzhou to [-]. It's Liu Ziyu's nephew, is this a coincidence?

Do not!There is absolutely no coincidence. How can a military event be explained by coincidence?

The second piece of information was an urgent intelligence sent by his intelligence agent from Jingzhao yesterday. Chen Qing wrote to Liu Ziyu, inviting him to be the chief officer of the Ministry of Punishment, and to join the cabinet as a political advisor.

This condition was too generous for ordinary people to refuse, unless he also made Liu Ziyu the prime minister, otherwise it would not be enough to offset Chen Qing's offer.

It is said that Liu Ziyu replied to the letter. Zhao Gou didn't know how to reply, but Zhao Gou believed that Liu Ziyu would not refuse this opportunity.

Going to Jingzhao as the Prime Minister, all the thousand-year-old trees are in spring again, Zhao Gou fully understands Liu Ziyu's excited mood.

It's just that Liu Ziyu was recommended by Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun was willing to guarantee Liu Ziyu's loyalty, so it was a bit difficult for the emperor Zhao Gou. He was thinking about it all afternoon.

At this time, the eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Mr. Qin is asking to see you!"

"Acclaim him an audience!"

After a while, Qin Hui hurried in, bowed and saluted, "My minister sees Your Majesty!"

"Is there something wrong, love?"

"I don't want anything to happen, but if I don't say anything, the road in Fujian will be in danger!"

Zhao Gou said indifferently: "It's because of the poem in the "Beijing News" that Qin Xianggong is worried about Liu Ziyu!"

"Your Highness is right. That poem reminded me that it is really unwise to let Liu Ziyu guard Fujian Road. It is definitely not a coincidence that Chen Qing asked Liu Qiong to lead the army to reinforce Quanzhou. If the humble official did not guess wrong, Chen Qing and Liu Ziyu must have a tacit understanding gone."

"Has Qin Xiangguo read the information sent by Jingzhao's spies?"

Qin Hui was startled, and quickly said: "I don't know, have you seen any information about Jingzhao?"

Zhao Gou said slowly: "The information was sent the day before yesterday, saying that Chen Qing wrote a letter to Liu Ziyu, promising that Liu Ziyu would be in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and join the cabinet's internal affairs hall to participate in political affairs. Although it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of this information, but My hunch is that it's probably true."

"Did Liu Ziyu reply?"

"It is said that there is a reply, but the content is unknown!"

Qin Hui pondered for a moment and said: "This minister also thinks that what this information says is true."

"Tell me your reason!"

"Weichen heard that Chen Qing once publicly said that he has four benefactors, Wang Yan, Wu Jie and Liu Ziyu, and there is another one, although he didn't mention the name, but we all know it is Zhang Jun. These four people are very important to his rise. It is very important, it can be seen from Chen Qing's reuse of Liu Ziyu's nephew, and more importantly, Liu Ziyu's prestige in the Western Army is very high, and it is in Chen Qing's interest to reuse Liu Ziyu, so I think the content of this letter is true."

"Makes sense!"

Zhao Gou nodded, at this time, the eunuch said at the door again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is begging to see you!"

When Zhang Jun came, Zhao Gou immediately said, "Acclaim him an audience!"

Soon, Zhang Jun walked into the imperial study like a gust of wind, and he also saw the poem in the newspaper, so he knew that Liu Ziyu's crisis was coming.

Zhang Jun immediately rushed to see the emperor, but Qin Hui was there. As expected, Qin Hui would not miss this opportunity.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Is Aiqing here because of Liu Ziyu's matter?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty must not fall into the Western Army's plan to separate people. I recommend him to sit on Fujian Road because he has rich combat experience. He is especially good at defending the city. I believe he will be able to defend Fuzhou. Chen Qing also knows this. One point, that's why we used the trick of alienation, and wanted us to transfer Liu Ziyu away from Fujian Road."

Zhao Gou hesitated for a moment, and he also felt that this was indeed a bit of a divorce.

Qin Hui sneered and said, "If this is a plan of alienation, it may not be too obvious! Chen Qinghui would be so stupid to openly use a plan of alienation? But if it is not a plan of alienation, Fujian Road will be completely ruined. At this price we Can you afford it?"

Zhang Jun said angrily: "What evidence does Mr. Qin have that Liu Ziyu will ruin Fujian Road?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Qin Hui said calmly: "Liu Ziyu's three sons are all in the Western Army, two of his sons are the commander of the capital, and his nephew is also the commander of the capital, and the other son joins the army as a recorder, while he himself is an official on Fujian Road. This is really not a performance of loyalty to the court. It is clear that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han. If he was loyal to the Song Dynasty, he would either call back all his sons or publicly sever ties with his son, but he did not. At both ends of the mouse, Zhang Xianggong said he was loyal, it is simply a big joke."

Zhang Jun shook his head, "His son is his son, he is him, they cannot be confused!"

Having said this, Zhang Jun obviously lacked confidence. What Qin Hui just said hit the nail on the head. Let his son burn the incense of King Yong, and burn the incense of the court himself. This kind of person is not loyal, but speculative.

Zhao Gou also agreed with Qin Hui's reasons, and asked again: "Mr. Zhang, I received information the day before yesterday that Chen Qing wrote a letter inviting Liu Ziyu to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment and join the cabinet to participate in political affairs. Do you think this is true?"

Zhang Jun bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether this matter is true or not. The important thing is how Liu Ziyu answered. He didn't leave Fujian Road to become a high-ranking official in Jingzhao, which means he declined Chen Qing's solicitation." .”

What Zhang Jun said made sense, it didn't really matter whether this matter was true or not, what mattered was Liu Ziyu's choice.

Qin Hui sneered and said, "Who knows if he refused, isn't it that he wants to use Fujian Road as a certificate of approval?"

Zhang Jun said angrily: "There is no evidence, Mr. Qin, don't spit blood!"

Qin Hui ignored Zhang Jun, and said to Emperor Zhao Gou: "As Zhang Xianggong said just now, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence for something, what matters is how likely it is to happen?

Your Majesty, it is a fact that Liu Ziyu's nephew is a high-ranking official in the Western Beijing Army. It is also a fact that Chen Qing has a close relationship with him. It is also a fact that Chen Qing appointed Liu Ziyu's nephew Liu Qiong as the general. With so many facts here, the possibility of Liu Ziyu offering Fujian Road How big is it, seventy percent!And how likely is Liu Ziyu to be loyal to the court?Weichen dare not say that there must be no, but the possibility should not be great, and the three achievements are considered to be high on him.

The question now is, in order to take care of some people's emotions, risking [-]% of the risk to let Liu Ziyu guard Fujian Road, can we afford to lose Fujian Road?Liu Ziyu dedicated Fujian Road, what would he lose?He doesn't have a family member in Lin'an! "

Qin Hui deserved to be the right minister, with clear thinking, conclusive evidence, and reasonable conclusions. Zhao Gou was finally convinced by him that he really didn't need to take such a big risk to let Liu Ziyu stay on Fujian Road.

Zhao Gou then said to Zhang Jun: "It's not that I don't believe in Liu Ziyu, but I just think he should avoid suspicion. A gentleman should not stand under the wall, and the court should not take such a big risk. It is not good for Liu Ziyu and the court. How about it! Let Liu Ziyu Come back and report on your work, give him a chance to prove his innocence, and then Mr. Zhang can recommend another person to sit on Fujian Road."

Zhang Jun sighed in his heart. He knew that the Son of Heaven had been persuaded by Qin Hui and could no longer change it. It was a pity to let Liu Ziyu leave Fujian Road. Fortunately, the Son of Heaven continued to ask him to recommend the chief officer of Fujian Road, which showed that the Son of Heaven was not against him.

Feeling a little comforted in Zhang Jun's heart, he bowed and said, "If Your Majesty must replace Liu Ziyu, I have no objection. I recommend Wang Jian to take over the defense position of Fujian Road."

Qin Hui next to him looked very ugly, but the officials still believed in Zhang Jun. After spending so much time talking, Zhang Jun was finally taken advantage of.
