He could only stand up immediately, and then half-step aside, asking Liang Ben to sit on top.
Liang Ben declined several times.
Then Luo Songtang moved a chair and let Liang Ben sit on Lu Fang's right.
Lu Fang took this opportunity to observe Liang Ben for a while.
I even felt that this sword king was gentle and humble. He was probably as gentle and handsome as jade when he was young. He really didn't look like the youngest son of the royal family who was held in the palm of his hand.
Later, Lu Fang talked to Liang Ben about the Sword Prince's Mansion in Shu.
From Liang Fen's words, we learned that he had indeed been silently helping Luo Songtang and other local families and officials fight against the erosion of the imperial court in recent years.
Especially when it comes to dealing with Wu Gou and the watchman spy, he secretly united Wu Jingchuan, Qi Lianshan, Nangong Huang and others, and killed countless Wu Gou, a watchman master. Otherwise, Wu Gou, the watchman spy
You won’t be unable to open up a situation in Chengdu.
There are actually more than eight ghost guests, but more than ten.
It's just that since they showed up, there hasn't been any operation that requires all of them to be dispatched.
Liang Ben also took the initiative to explain why he did not come forward to deal with Liang Hanmin more than ten years ago. At that time, he was in retreat in the mountains and isolated from the world. When he came out, the affairs in Kyoto and Chengdu were already a foregone conclusion.
Although his cultivation level is extremely high, he has always been an idle prince who does not care about the world. All he can do is secretly organize forces and wait for opportunities.
Speaking of which, Liang Fen's approach is no different from that of Xu Jingnian, Zhang Zhihe and other righteous men of the previous dynasty.
Before I knew it, the sky was getting brighter outside.
The city of Chengdu, which looked like a crawling and sleeping beast in the night, slowly woke up as the light enveloped it.
There began to be small vendors walking on the street pushing their stalls or carrying burdens.
Those shops have also opened their doors one after another.
The commotion caused by the Jiedu Yamen last night was not too big. Only those who lived not far from the Jiedu Yamen vaguely guessed that something happened at the Jiedu Yamen last night.
So some people went outside the Yamen early to watch.
But there was no sign of anything unexpected happening.
Except that a few soldiers who used to stand guard at the door were missing, there was no difference. It could also be that the soldier who took over today got up late.
Few people know that this Chengdu mansion has changed hands overnight.
As it approached Chen, those Chengdu officials who lived in official residences or their own houses also rushed to Jiedu Yamen one after another.
The street in front of Yamen gradually became lively.
This reassured the people who heard the commotion inside Jiedu Yamen last night and stopped lingering at the door of Jiedu Yamen.
Over and over again, dozens of Chengdu officials entered Jiedu Yamen.
Some are alone, and some are in groups.
When they arrived outside the main courtyard of Jiedu Yamen, they found that Wei Haobi was already standing there with his hands behind his back.
It looked like he was obviously waiting for them to come over.
"Master Wei."
Some officials just greeted Wei Haobi politely and went inside.
Others stayed with Wei Haobi after saying hello.
In fact, there are only three groups of people in the officialdom of Chengdu Prefecture.
There is the former court faction led by Luo Songtang, and the other imperial court faction that follows Wei Haobi's lead. The rest of them just don't get involved with this group of neutral factions.
Most of the positions held by neutral officials are empty positions with official duties but no power.
The courtyard is even more lively than outside.
Lu Fang had asked the warriors in the stronghold to find their own places to rest, but there were still many people guarding them inside and outside.
Luo Songtang had taken a nap in the main hall, and when he woke up, he was waiting outside the hall.
"Good morning, Mr. Luo."
"Good morning, Brother Luo."
"..."
The officials who walked into the courtyard looked refreshed, and they all bowed their hands to Luo Songtang.
They are the core figures of those aristocratic families last night.
They have struggled to maintain the situation in Shuzhong for many years, and now they finally see hope, and it is not easy to hold back their smiles.
"Master Zhang, Master Xu..."
Luo Songtang also returned the gifts one by one.
Then he said: "Everyone, please wait here first. When the hour comes, we will go in together. Otherwise, His Highness will think that we people really have no rules."
"well."
"Master Wei is still thoughtful."
All the officials smiled and nodded. After taking a look inside, they started talking softly.
…
Lu Fang, Liang Ben and others were still in the main hall.
Before dawn, Lu Fang and Liang Ben talked a lot more, including the current situation of the rebels and his and Lu Liang's next plans.
Liang Ben just smiled and expressed his position, saying that he didn't understand how to govern the place and lead troops to fight, but when necessary, he was willing to take the lead and take the lead.
At this moment, the two of them talked about the last time Liang Shi went to Xishan Yechuan Village and was repulsed.
"It was the possession of the old god that gave me the ability to defeat Liang Shi."
When Liang Ben asked, Lu Fang replied like this.
Then, without waiting for Liang Ben to ask any more questions, he quickly talked about the "old god" thing again, using the same rhetoric as before.
Not to mention, the same lie was told so many times that even Lu Fang himself had the illusion that this was the "truth".
In short, Liang Ben listened to the side and was stunned for a while, and said with a thoughtful look: "I have also heard about many immortals, but it is a pity that I have never been lucky enough to see them."
Then he said with a face full of joy and longing: "Since I have been favored by the gods, it seems that great things can be expected."
Lu Fang nodded slightly, but felt a little guilty in his heart.
Judging from the appearance of the Sword King, he must have believed in his own fairy tale. But in the past, those who believed in him would contribute some worship points to him.
But just now, I didn't receive the Sword King's adoration value prompt in my head.
Could it be that Uncle Wang was just being polite? In fact, he didn’t believe it at all in his heart?
Suddenly, Lu Fang felt that the gentle sword king in front of him was not as simple as it seemed.
It was true that Wu Jingchuan and others rescued him at the critical moment. Qilianshan, Nangong Huang and others had assassinated many officials sent by the imperial court, and it was true that they were masters, so Lu Fang didn't think much about it.
If he didn't want to seek justice for Emperor Qingyu, he couldn't think of any other reason for Liang Ben to do these things.
The big bell in Chengdu rang again.
The hour has arrived.
Outside the house, Luo Songtang took the lead and led a group of officials toward the main hall.
Outside the courtyard, more than a dozen people including Wei Haobi also looked slightly calm. First they looked at the courtyard, then several people straightened their clothes and were led inside by Wei Haobi.
Except for Wei Haobi and Qu Yuanzheng, the rest of them were all of high rank according to their official robes.
They were either arranged by the imperial court, or they were later won over by Wei Haobi, and they were all relied on by Kyoto to be the backbone of the "recovery" of Chengdu.
Only at this moment, their expressions seemed a little complicated.
Although the decision was made, when I actually took this step, my heart was complicated and difficult to describe.
