Chapter 45: Fighting against the Party and Responsibility (2)
Wan Heshun sighed regretfully, wondering how he could settle down here because of Liu Zhennian's words. But who knew that this general would dare to drive the emperor? He never expected that Liu Dang's arrogance would be so arrogant.
situation.
Liu Zhennian went out again. He still took Yan Liang and stood under the rockery.
"Shilang Yan, don't tell me something twice," Liu Zhennian complained slightly, "all the ministers are looking at us."
Yan Liang said with a smile: "I have no choice but to do this. Don't blame Mr. Liu. It's just that I just met Lu Fangxuan. He has many tricks and tricks, and he is much smarter than Wan Heshun. I can't worry about it. Please be careful, General."
"The emperor is in my hands, why should people like Lu Fangxuan be so presumptuous?" Liu Zhennian looked at Yan Liang with disdain, but the latter didn't respond, shaking his head and frowning.
Liu Zhennian realized that he was speechless, so he smiled and bowed to him: "Shilang Yan is right, I shouldn't despise your opinions. May I ask Wen Zao if he has any advice?"
Yan Liang paced back and forth a few times, then suddenly thought of a way, and asked him: "Are Lu Fangxuan's two leaders here?"
Liu Zhennian thought about it and replied decisively: "You are talking about Qi Zi, Zheng Shiyan? I have indeed never seen him at the banquet."
Yan Liang's eyes brightened: "Eunuch Shen told me, 'Qi Zi hid the land thieves and acted without authorization in order to make his government behave. However, his master was unwilling to do this, which shows the estrangement between the two'; if you
Under the guise of the emperor, I ordered Qi Zi to come to the palace for a banquet, and then exposed this matter... to make the mainland party suspicious of each other, and they would be in chaos without fighting."
When there were only a few leftovers left in the living room, because Taiwei Guifu left early, everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Wan Heshun took this opportunity to stay with Lu Fangxuan. He poured Lu Fangxuan a glass of cold wine and also poured himself a glass, and the two started chatting.
"His Majesty visited Nanjing, but we couldn't even see his face. It was for nothing that Liu Dang could spy on our situation in Nanjing. As for us, we couldn't pull out a single hair of Liu Dang."
"The current plan..."
"The current plan," Wan Heshun interrupted, "is for you and me to continue to unite to fight against the national traitors!"
Lu Fangxuan was used to his upright and awe-inspiring appearance, so he just lowered his head and took a sip of the cold wine to see what he would say next.
"The troops and horses we can mobilize are almost all over Nanjing, but the people Liu Zhennian brought, including personal guards, are only ten thousand, which is less than half of what we can do together. If the two of us start..."
Lu Fangxuan slammed the wine cup: "Don't lie."
Wan Heshun swallowed and turned away: "It's good if you know... We can definitely do this."
"Okay, let me think about it." Lu Fangxuan stood up and said.
Ye Yongjia was sitting on the rockery in the garden, calmly watching the officials coming and going in a daze. Someone came over, his face was full of spring, and he smiled at Ye Yongjia.
His eyes focused on that person, he was Gui Fu. Ye Yongjia raised his eyelids in horror, and a few beads of sweat ran across the bridge of his nose.
"Gui, Lieutenant Gui, what do you want to do for Lieutenant Gui?" Ye Yongjia asked cautiously.
"Don't be nervous. What kind of official do you think I am? What a lieutenant, it's just a false title." Gui Fu said with a smile, "As the local magistrate, you should go see General Liu and report the situation."
"Oh..." Ye Yongjia smiled awkwardly.
"For the sake of your relationship with Governor Kuang, I want to show you a clear path," Gui Fu seemed to want to recruit him, "If you want to rise to great heights, only Liu Gong can do it at present; if you want to be a good person,
Officials also need a place to show off their skills. Think about it, it is better than being squeezed from both ends of Nanjing."
Just as Ye Yongjia was about to reply, Gui Fu had already walked away and disappeared.
He unknowingly thought of his father. His deceased father was buried in the hands of Liu Zhennian. This man was his father-killing enemy, but now the whole world seemed to be instigating him to be a traitor. He felt that it was difficult to move -
—Although we are already on the way to meet that 'treacherous minister'.
He stepped on the moss-covered stone slabs, not daring to look forward, so he opened the door and saw an old man with white hair sitting there writing. The old man's fierce aura had been wiped away by the years.
His face no longer looked ferocious, but instead looked extremely kind and approachable.
"Master Prefect, you're a little late," Liu Zhennian patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, come on, sit down and talk if you have anything to say."
'This murderer! Murderer!' Ye Yongjia thought angrily.
"Sit down." Liu Zhennian laughed, got up personally, and pushed him down on the chair beside him.
'National thief, national thief...' Ye Yongjia's angry voice echoed in his heart.
"Prefect Ye, what's the matter with you?" Liu Zhennian wondered, "Just tell me."
Ye Yongjia gently pulled the skirt of his clothes and bowed: "General Liu... Mr. Liu, the situation in Nanjing is not good for the court."
"What's the disadvantage?" Liu Zhennian was quite happy to see the shocking words coming out of his mouth.
Ye Yongjia's eyes were empty and lifeless, staring straight at him: "Wan Heshun, Lu Fangxuan wants to kill you."
"Kill me?"
"That's right, but they are not willing to speak out unanimously, and there is a lot of weakness to be found. Mr. Liu, although they have been negotiating for peace for a long time, they actually have their own agendas. You can try to provoke them and watch the fire from the other side..." These words seemed like he was biting his tongue.
Teeth said.
"Haha!" Liu Zhennian laughed wildly. What he was happy about was not Ye Yongjia's plan. After all, these had been carefully analyzed by Yan Liang. What he was happy about was that the Liu Party finally had a reliable person in Nanjing.
people came to surrender.
He held Ye Yongjia's hand hard, and the force of his hand made the latter feel very painful.
"Prefect Ye," Liu Zhennian said, "I am really touched that you can say these things to me. I must continue to say it in the future."
"Come here, give me some money!" Liu Zhennian greeted, and two lean little eunuchs walked out of the back room, holding two large shiny red boxes.
Ye Yongjia slowly turned his head, as if showing a slight resistance to the current reality.
Liu Zhennian was more or less aware of it, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he enthusiastically asked the eunuch to open the box, which contained more than a dozen grains of silver wrapped in golden cloth. "Prefect Ye, I know that you are not a greedy person.
Only man is willing to give you so much money. If you accept it, I will keep you safe in the future."
Ye Yongjia nodded strugglingly.
He finally went out. This was like a nightmare and could be treated as nothing happened, but Ye Yongjia always blamed his conscience. He tried to blame Cheng Congyuan, Lu Deguang, Yan Wen, and even himself for his father's death.
But it was all to no avail. He would always think of Liu Zhennian's various evil deeds, and his head would feel dizzy.
‘What’s wrong with me?’ Ye Yongjia couldn’t bear all this, everything he did in his struggle.
