Han Shizu

Chapter 140
Probably because of discussing secret matters, the color tone in the study room was much darker, the faint autumn sun shines on Liu Chengyou's face through the window, and his expression is slightly cold.

Liu Chengyou ordered Li Chongju lightly: "Let our people keep an eye on Yang Bin and Shi Hongzhao, especially Yang Bin. I will know every move he makes next!"

"Yes!"

Food and grass have not been moved, intelligence comes first, and Liu Chengyou has always attached great importance to intelligence information.As early as when he was really determined, he carefully selected dozens of scouts from the army, and based on them, he formed an intelligence force, specializing in inquiring about news, and stabbing everything in the military, government and people's livelihood.

After entering Kaifeng, Liu Chengyou paid more attention to it. However, spies who were born as scouts have their limitations after all. It may not be difficult for them to stab the military situation in a dangerous situation.But if they were to monitor the government and the public in Kaifeng, where they were unfamiliar, and spy on news, they would be powerless.The intelligence front has never been easy to mess with, it requires talent.

Therefore, during this period of time, Liu Chengyou has devoted himself to building his spy team, perfecting the source of information, especially the monitoring of political opponents.Secretly, Li Chongju was ordered to carefully recruit a group of eyeliners, who were in charge of monitoring, and also sent some people to sneak into the residence of Yang Bin and others.
However, until now, the progress is still very slow. The formation of "secret agents" is not so easy.

"How's the organization and training of the 'Xiao' department going?" Liu Chengyou asked.

The Xiao Department, also known as the Dark Xiao, is a name for the Second Secondary School.It was Liu Chengyou who spent a lot of effort to select a group of people from the army and civilians, and reorganized a group of spies.

"Everything is on track."

"Well! These soldiers, we must train them to become solitary eyes and ears, and we must not slack off!" Liu Chengyou nodded, exhorted, paused, and asked, "Is there enough money and food?"

Li Chongju's answer was very simple: "His Royal Highness transferred from the treasury before, it is enough!"

No matter what era, to do things, we must have resource support.On Liu Chengyou's side, although his daily life is "poverty", he still has a lot of money and food in his hands.And most of them were secretly withheld from the goods recaptured from Khitan.

Turn it all in, Liu Chengyou is not that stupid.The generals and ministers of this era, whether they are fighting thieves and suppressing rebellion, punishing traitors and eradicating traitors, or capturing something, they basically keep it in their pockets, and they hardly restrain themselves.As for Liu Chengyou, he is much more low-key, and there is a lot of room for manipulation in it. It is not difficult to do it at all, and he pays attention to his eating habits.

"Take some time, I'll go and see for myself!"

Li Chongju cupped his hands: "I will make arrangements at the end!"

"And that Wang Jingchong, just stare at him and see this person, what's going on?" Having completely calmed down, after pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou rubbed his chin and ordered coldly.

Liu Chengyou was almost certain that this Wang Jingchong was instigated by others, and he would never show up for no reason. As for the details, it would be rewarding to stare at this person.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked: "Also, how is my elder brother's illness? Today, look up and see that his complexion is not good."

Li Chongju kept Liu Chengyou's instructions in his heart, and he was a little surprised when he heard this question suddenly. Recently, Liu Chengyou seemed to be very concerned about Liu Chengxun's illness, and he didn't think much about it, he just quickly reported: "It's not a serious illness at all, it is said that it has improved a lot. "

"Oh"

Just as Liu Chengyou guessed, Wang Jingchong was used by Yang Bin.After he came down to court, he sent his servants to keep an eye on Yang's mansion until it got late. When he learned that Yang Bin had returned from the Privy Council, he couldn't wait to visit with gifts.

Yang Bin, who had just returned to the mansion, was obviously in a happy mood, and his steps were much lighter.However, it wasn't long before his butt got on the chair, when he learned of Wang Jingchong's visit, his complexion immediately turned ugly, and he said disdainfully, "This man, can't sit still?"

If this is seen by someone with a heart, wouldn't it be true.He wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Wang Jingchong was already at the gate of the mansion, pinching his nose to invite him in, he felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

In front of Yang Bin, Wang Jingchong behaved very humble, bowed his eyebrows, humbled himself, and was extremely flattering.

"Prince Shu, look." Seeing Yang Bin's indifferent face, Wang Jingchong was more careful, and displayed a beautifully decorated sandalwood box in front of Yang Bin, and opened the lid to reveal a luminous pearl the size of an egg, smooth and smooth. There was a burst of crystal clear water blue soft light.

"What are you doing?" Yang Bin only glanced at it, then looked away.

Wang Jingchong laughed along with him: "This is a little thought from the lower official. Such precious things cannot be owned by a vulgar person like a lower official."

"Your kindness is really serious." Yang Bin said without hesitation, "Put it away, take it back, I also appreciate your kindness. Don't do such bribery, and work hard for the court. Can!"

Looking at Yang Bin's neither salty nor dull look, it was obvious that his face was hot and his butt was cold. Wang Jingchong stood there, very embarrassed, and the smile on his face seemed a little aggrieved.

Noticing Wang Jingchong's "at a loss" performance, he seemed to feel that he was a little unreasonable, Yang Bin's expression softened a little, coughed lightly, and said: "You did a good job in today's palace, I see it all .”

"It's an honor to serve as a minister." Wang Jingchong said immediately.

Seeing Yang Bin nod, Wang Jingchong hit the snake with a stick, showed a humble smile again, leaned forward, bent even lower, and asked tentatively, "The matter about the dismissal."

Hearing what he said, Yang Bin narrowed his eyes, his heart was sure, and he raised his hand to take the teacup, but Wang Jingchong quickly picked it up and handed it to Yang Bin.Yang Bin became more and more disdainful of this person's flattery, took a breath of hot steam, pursed his lips, and then squinted at him: "Don't worry, wait patiently for now, the imperial court will take action soon, and then we will seek release with you. It is not difficult to control one party's control."

"But." Feeling that Yang Bin was being perfunctory, Wang Jingchong's face became anxious.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Yang Bin: "But what, will I still break my promise?"

"I don't dare!" Wang Jingchong hastened to make amends: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry."

"You have been an official in Tang and Jin Dynasties, and you have had ups and downs in the officialdom for twenty years. So many years have passed, don't you have the patience to wait for a while?" Yang Bin was not a few years older than Wang Jingchong, but he said to him in a tone of educating the younger generation: "The matter of setting up an heir is not over yet. You are a bit reckless when you come to the door this time."

Hearing the scolding, Wang Jingchong's face twitched, and Wang Jingchong lowered his eyebrows even more pleasingly: "Prince Shu taught you well."

Speaking of this, watching Yang Bin's expression, Wang Jingchong deliberately wanted to get closer, and said, "Today, so many officials have asked for the appointment of a second prince. If His Majesty agrees, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

Hearing what he said, Yang Bin chuckled, with a strong confidence in his cold tone: "With Shi Hongzhao and I around, how can the position of crown prince be successfully established in the current dynasty!"

Still short in stature, Wang Jingchong licked his mouth and said, "Xianggong is a great official of the Han Dynasty. He has worked hard and made great achievements. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty. He is the crown prince. Your opinion, even His Majesty, has to be carefully considered."

As for Wang Jingchong, he naturally wanted to communicate with Yang Bin more and get closer, but unfortunately, the impatience on Yang Bin's face gradually became unrestrained.So, I could only suppress the humiliation in my heart, and leave with a tactful smile.

After leaving the Yang Mansion, Wang Jingchong walked away expressionlessly, walked to the corner of the street, looked back at the tall and majestic gate of the Yang Mansion, Wang Jingchong couldn't hold back anymore, and spat on the ground fiercely: "What is it?" , dare to belittle me so much!"

"General." The servant who was beside him was taken aback.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Jingchong quickly calmed down, and smiled again on his face, but there was a cold light in his eyes: "My good Yang Shuxiang, I will make you look good sooner or later!"

"Go home!" With a flick of his sleeves, Wang Jingchong turned and left.

What Wang Jingchong didn't know was that on the opposite corner of the street, a pair of eyes had fixed on him and followed him.

In the imperial city, after the imperial court, Liu Zhiyuan returned to the Chui Gong Palace to rest and listen to the government. For such a long time, it was a heavy burden for him.Until the afternoon, I got up to ask about politics, and read the reports of the ministers, but the interest was not too high, and I showed impatience.Because, the memorials presented are mostly related to the position of the crown prince.

He raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, then opened his eyes, the tired look suddenly appeared in his eyes.The servant next to him stepped forward and asked, "Guan, do you want to rest for a while?"

"Put it in the Hall of Renming!" Liu Zhiyuan got up and ordered, throwing the memorial in his hand on the imperial case.

Since entering Bian Palace, Liu Zhiyuan has been busy with common affairs, so Liu Zhiyuan didn't come to Li's side many times.Liu Zhiyuan strolled over without anyone notifying him, just in time for a man to come out from the palace.

Seeing Liu Zhiyuan, the man was startled, shrank his neck, stepped forward and said: "I see the official family."

"En." Liu Zhiyuan glanced at him, responded lightly, and walked past him to the hall.

Looking at Liu Zhiyuan's back, the man heaved a sigh of relief. He had always been afraid of Liu Zhiyuan.This man's name is Li Ye, and he is Li's younger brother. He is frivolous, with great ambition and little talent.After entering Bianjing, as a foreign relative, Liu Zhiyuan appointed him as an envoy of martial arts, and stayed in the palace, doing nothing all day long.However, the youngest son in the family has always been the most loved one, and Li Shi is the same, he loves him very much.

"My concubine welcomes the official family." Knowing Liu Zhiyuan's arrival, Empress Li greeted her personally.

"Exemption!" Liu Zhiyuan helped Mrs. Li himself, glanced at the clean and frugal arrangement in the hall, and felt that Mrs. Li's hands were calloused by the machine gun, Liu Zhiyuan sighed: "San Niang, you have worked hard."

Mrs. Li smiled gently, and asked all the maids in the palace who were fiddling with looms to retreat, and led Liu Zhiyuan to sit down and talk, and asked, "The government is busy with state affairs, why do you have time to come here today?"

Hearing this, looking at Li Shi's graceful face, Liu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "I'm bored."

Mrs. Li asked: "Is the government encountering difficulties?"

"The child is growing up!" After a moment of silence, Liu Zhiyuan said.

His eyes flickered, seeing Liu Zhiyuan's exhausted face, Li Shi got up, stood behind Liu Zhiyuan, raised his hand to gently match his head and massaged him: "The official is talking about Erlang?"

"En." Feeling Li's movements, Liu Zhiyuan showed a comfortable expression on his face: "Sanniang, it's been a long time since you massaged me like this."

Mrs. Li is as gentle as water: "Then today, I will serve you well."

Liu Zhiyuan sighed again, closed his eyes, and told Mrs. Li about the situation in today's court.Immediately, he asked: "Sanniang, in your opinion, who is more suitable to be the crown prince, Dalang or Erlang?"

Li Shi was quite surprised by Liu Zhiyuan's question. He paused for a moment, then continued to rub his hands, and said softly: "The discussion of the crown prince is a major national event, and it concerns the country, the country, and the concubine. Don’t dare to make unreasonable comments.”

"San Niang is too modest!" Liu Zhiyuan still closed his eyes, and said, "With your knowledge, you can beat thousands of men in time!"

Mrs. Li shook her head lightly: "I am a member of the harem, so I dare not interfere in politics."

"You and I have been husband and wife for almost 30 years. We know each other well. How can we separate each other? To be honest, just treat it as a private conversation between our husband and wife." Liu Zhiyuan pressed Li's hand and said sincerely.

Mrs. Li was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "Seniors and youngsters are orderly, in order to protect the peace of the society, in my humble opinion, let's establish Dalang."

Liu Zhiyuan leaned his head on Li's chest, looked up at her, a little surprised: "Don't you always love Erlang?"

Li's virtuous and sensible temperament was even more serious, and he replied: "It's true that I cherish Erlang, but in the country of Sheji, there must be no favoritism. Dalang is also my son. The way to abolish the elder and establish the younger is to seek disaster." , to the detriment of the country."

"To tell you the truth, Sanniang, I originally intended to make Dalang the heir, but he is too weak and humble. He can rule the world, practice the kingly way, and be the king of the world. But in this world, I am afraid that he will not be able to restrain those arrogant soldiers. General, feudal governor. Erlang has changed a lot in the past year, completely beyond my expectations, he is heavy and solemn, calm and courageous, although his actions are fierce, but he knows the way of life here." Liu Zhiyuan sighed quietly, expressing his hesitate.

Mrs. Li said leisurely: "The brothers have always gotten along harmoniously and have a very good relationship. If Erlang can assist Dalang, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Maybe Mrs. Li didn't notice it herself. When she said this, her breath was a little lacking.

Sure enough, Liu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "How cruel is this battle for the throne, with Sanniang's intelligence, don't you know? From Liang, Tang, to Jin, for this position, you have fought to the death and life. Is it less?"

Hearing this, worry flashed across Li's face, her palms and backs were full of flesh. Although she cared less about Liu Chengxun on weekdays, it didn't mean she didn't like him.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Li said to Liu Zhiyuan solemnly: "Since this is the case, the officials should decide on the status of monarch and minister early, so as not to delay it for a long time and develop into an irreversible situation, and then it will be too late to regret it."

"I'm thinking about it." After holding back for a while, Liu Zhiyuan replied.

The couple didn't speak any more, they just cuddled together, feeling the rare tranquility.

Liu Zhiyuan didn't stay with Mrs. Li for too long, and Liu Zhiyuan returned to his own hall, but after talking with Mrs. Mrs. Li, he felt much better.

At night, bright yellow lights flickered on Liu Zhiyuan's face, serious and serious.Recalling the situation in Chongyuan Hall today in his mind, Liu Zhiyuan sighed after a long time: "It's too anxious, it's not a good thing."

When he said this, Liu Zhiyuan showed a firm look on his face.

The next day, Liu Zhiyuan issued an imperial edict, making Liu Chengxun the king of Wei and governor of Kaifeng, and Liu Chengyou the king of Zhou and inspector of the capital.
