Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 180 The environment that breeds ambition

In front of more than [-] people, Wei Lin staged a scene of hoeing at noon.

This incident became popular in Jiangling City in a short period of time, and became a joke after dinner.

Tang Fuyao jokingly talked about the situation in Jiangling.

"The Princess Chang has the best face. After losing such a big face, he was so angry that he slapped Wei Lin across the face, and then went to the palace to find his brother crying. We don't know what the result will be, but we can be sure, Wei Lin This time with Li Jingwei, it's an endless game."

He said happily, Wei Lin is extremely greedy.

I have dealt with him for five years, and I have given him many gifts during the five years.

This guy is still not satisfied, thinking of ways to cheat money from himself.

If Nantang hadn't severed the connection with the Central Plains, news about the Southern Tang would have to go to Jiangling to the Central Plains, and he would have stopped staying in Jiangling long ago.

Seeing him suffer now makes me feel very happy.

Tang Fuyao originally wanted to make Zhao Pu happy together, but saw that the other party's expression was not at all happy, but frowning, full of thoughts.

"What's wrong? Mr. Zhao, what's wrong?"

Tang Fuyao's heart sank unavoidably.

Zhao Pu said in a deep voice: "Li Jingwei's response was too abnormal and too intense, it's a bit unreasonable."

Regarding how to stir up the conflict between Wei Lin and Li Jingwei, Zhao Pu and Tang Fuyao discussed in detail and did some simulations.

From the gift-giving at the beginning to the catching of rape later, everything was planned.

Some trivial variables can be ignored.

But Li Jingwei's reaction was not within their calculations.

They have already arranged a lot of backhands, for example, Li Jingwei passed the news to Princess Nanping, and asked Princess Nanping to catch this traitor.

They will ask the steward in the mansion to notify Wei Lin to leave in advance.

In this way, the Princess Chang of Nanping rushed to nothing, and he would be in trouble with Li Jingwei.And Wei Lin would also "inadvertently" know all of Li Jingwei's little moves.

They will also be in the same situation.

No matter what method Li Jingwei used to catch the traitor, they always made each other hostile.

But Li Jingwei chose the most drastic and stupid method.

Forcibly leading 200 people to arrest the rape in public, directly piercing the hornet's nest.

This action not only offended Wei Lin to death, but also trampled on the face of Princess Chang of Nanping, and even affected the face of Nanping Country, and directly blamed Gao Baorong.

Tang Fuyao said in surprise: "Sir, it's really strange to say that. I've known Wei Lin for five years, and I know his nature very well. Judging from it, this person still has some ability, so he shouldn't be reckless."

Zhao Pudao: "I think so. After all, Li Jingwei is the son of the Prime Minister of Nanping, and his natal family is also from a famous Jiangling family, and he is in a high position. It is not possible to offend people like this regardless of the severity."

Tang Fuyao hurriedly asked: "Then, the next step, shall we continue?"

Zhao Pu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. has arrived in Xiangzhou, just across the river from Jiangling. I will go to Xiangzhou in person and report the situation here with him. Many things cannot be written clearly on paper. If you write Too much is not easy to carry, and it is easy to be noticed by others.”

Zhao Pu has not yet obtained the corresponding status, and his self-confidence is slightly lacking. At this critical moment, he dare not make decisions by himself.

Tang Fuyao also said: "That's fine too."

At the same time, there was a dog-blood drama in Nanping's palace, where people cried, made trouble and hanged themselves.

Although Princess Nanping Chang was annoyed at her husband's failure to live up to expectations, he was a waste of lower body thinking.

But a husband is a husband after all, and he closes the door to tidy up and train himself.

Where is it an outsider's turn to bully in this way?

How does this make the couple stay in Jiangling?
He directly found his younger brother Nanping Wang Gao Baorong, crying and making noise so that he severely punished Li Jingwei.

Gao Baorong made a big fuss about his sister, and he secretly hated Li Jingwei for not knowing how to flatter him.

Li Jingwei's move hurt not only Wei Lin, but also the face of Nanping.

Just when Gao Baorong was planning to send someone to take Li Jingwei to the palace for interrogation, he heard the news that Li Yanwei and his son came to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has no way to teach his son, and he brings his son to plead guilty, so I come here to resign."

Li Yanwei cried heavily and knelt down on the ground.

Gao Baorong also felt a little compassion in his heart.

The ancestor of this Li Yanwei is the Li family of Zhaojun, and he is also a descendant of the five surnames.The five surnames' families are no longer prosperous, but the family heritage is still there.Li Yanwei has read all the treasures in his family, and together with the classics and history, he has profound attainments, a great Confucianist rarely seen in this troubled world.

The Central Plains was in turmoil, and Li Yanwei fled to Jiangling. He originally planned to go south to the Southern Tang Dynasty.However, Gao Congjiao, the former Nanping Wang, stopped him and paid a lot of money to hire him as an official in Nanping.

Relying on the famous Confucian name, Li Yanwei was a prosperous official in Nanping and married the daughter of the famous local Jiangling Cen family. He gained a foothold in Jiangling and finally sat on the position of prime minister.

Speaking of which, he is still his own Minister Tuogu?

Gao Baorong thought in his heart, even though he conspired with his younger brother Gao Baoxu after he ascended the throne to deprive Li Yanwei of his rights and make him a famous prime minister, didn't he stay in the position for nine years without complaint or regret?
With this in mind, Gao Baorong stepped forward quickly, helped Li Yanwei up, and said: "Xiangguo doesn't have to be like this, you always do your best for Nanping, how can you not know? This matter is still undecided, Xiangguo doesn't need to take everything into his own hands. He helped Li Yanwei up, looked at Li Jingwei who was kneeling aside, and said, "Commander Li? What's going on? I don't want to ask about your private festival with the county horse, but your methods are so despicable, even Gu feels shameless." .”

With a mournful face, Li Jingwei kowtowed his head three times, his forehead was bleeding, and said: "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes. I learned that a group of Wuxi people from Wuping sneaked into the city to make trouble, so they gathered in the house of Junma The minister is going to catch the thief, how do you know it is a county horse? If you really want to know that it is a county horse, even if you have the courage to do so! I do not deny that I have had a quarrel with the county horse, but it is far from paying myself The point of going in."

Gao Baorong looked at Li Jingwei solemnly, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the Wuxi thieves you mentioned?"

Li Yanwei bowed and said: "It is true that this matter happened, and the old minister has also received corresponding news. It is not known whether it has anything to do with Wu Ping."

Gao Baorong rested his forehead with his hands, his heart was in a mess.

Now that Gao Baoxu is not around, he has not been involved in military affairs for nine years, and he is gradually unable to cope with this situation.

**********
Jiangling is known as the thoroughfare of the seven provinces because of its water and land connections extending in all directions.

Nanping and Dazhou are in a subordinate relationship, and there is no defense between the two places. Zhao Pu went north along the Xiangshui River, and within half a day, he arrived in Xiangzhou.

I met my boss in a mansion in Xiangzhou.

"I've seen Mr.!"

Zhao Pu was very excited, and it felt like three autumns would not last.

Luo Youdu secretly smiled in his heart, thinking that in history Zhao Pu served the medicine bait day and night and became Zhao Hongyin's "son" for more than a month. pass.

"Okay, tell me about Jiangling."

Zhao Pudang was about to explain in detail the situation of Li Jingwei and Wei Lin, especially Li Jingwei's anomaly, and at the same time, he also expressed his doubts.

Luo Youdu listened very carefully, and did not interrupt, but asked him to finish, before asking about a few details.

"Your suspicion is very reasonable. It's not just you, I also have the same idea. This Li Jingwei must have ghosts, and he has other plans."

Luo Youdu gave Zhao Pu an affirmative answer.

Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "It's a great honor to be able to think about it with Mr.

Luo Youdu felt a bit like the situation between himself and Guo Rong, a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It seems that not only we are plotting against Nanping, but also other people have the same idea. Thinking about it, Taiping can whitewash all disasters. Under the protection of Zhou, Nanping has lived in peace for nine years. This is not because their system is so good or clever, but because someone stood in front of him. Now that the umbrella is lost, all kinds of internal and external troubles have naturally emerged one by one."

Luo Youdu picked up the teacup, blew on the tea soup, looked at the golden ripples, and said, "Guess, who is the person behind the scenes?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while, bowed and said, "This subordinate can't guess."

Luo Youdu smiled and asked, "Will you rebel?"

Zhao Pu's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt down on the ground in fright, tremblingly said: "Mr. Xianxian, these words..."

Seeing Zhao Pu react so strongly, Luo Youdu smiled and said, "I'm not joking with you anymore."

Zhao Pu touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "Sir, this is really a joke."

Luo Youdu said: "The plan remains the same, help me to make an appointment with Sun Guangxian. Also, please pay attention to Gao Congyi and Li Yanwei to see if there is any contact between them."

Zhao Pu asked in surprise, "Mister doubts Gao Congyi?"

Gao Congyi is Gao Baorong's cousin, responsible for commanding the Nanping Forbidden Army.

Luo Youdu smiled, but did not speak.

Knowing the answer, Zhao Pu bid farewell and left.

Luo Youdu watched Zhao Pu walk out of the room, and said to Zhang Qiong who was beside him: "Brother Zhang, do you think Tang Taizong Li Shimin had any intention of robbing his brother for the crown prince when he first conquered the world?"

Zhang Qiong was stunned.

Luo Youdu smiled again.

He personally thinks it is not.

When Li Shimin fought the world for the Tang Dynasty, what kind of character was that? He was as fiery as the little king of Qin, and he hated the sky and the air. He didn't have any political means in the city.

The minister in the temple, father Li Yuan's harem, offended him all over again.

This minister and that minister are suing Li Shimin, saying that he will rebel.

Empress Changsun has been wiping her husband's butt in the rear.

He really wanted to grab the crown prince, would he act like this?
How could Li Shimin not have the political means of the city government?

It's just that I don't have that ambition, and I don't bother to run it.

It wasn't until the battle of Hulao, when two kings were captured in one battle, and when he was named Tiance Admiral, and ranked above all kings, Li Shimin looked around and found that the world was so close to him, and then his ambition was born to manage his own power.

No one is born anti-embryonic.

Most people have reached that point and mastered that power, and their ambitions will naturally grow.

Luo Youdu was deeply touched by this point.

In the same way, who in the small Nanping has the environment to breed ambition?
