Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1109
Although Murong Ke is in Huainan, he has heard a little about the various changes in Jiangdong. This time he was summoned by name to come to Guangling from the south. In fact, there was a lot of panic and apprehension along the way, and he couldn't guess what would greet him.

If you think about the worst, perhaps Governor Shen chose to put him under strict control in order to prevent the news of Jiangdong turmoil from spreading to Liaodong.

But Murong Ke also knew how his father Murong Hao's news channel for Jiang Dong could rely on himself alone.In addition, his father had always had great ambitions, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Huainan's support for his uncle Murong Ren's continued civil strife. Once he learned that Jiangdong Jinzuo was unstable, he would inevitably take some extraordinary actions.It is conceivable that Murong Ke, who is in prison, will inevitably become the first target of revenge in Huainan.

With such an uneasy mood of uncertain future, Murong Ke came to Guangling, but he was not received by Governor Shen at the first time.His movements in Guangling were not too restricted, and he was free to go in and out every day.

Although worried about his own situation, Murong Ke was also a little surprised to find that Guangling City was not affected by Jiangdong turmoil during the past few days in Guangling. almost none.The market is orderly, and the villagers in the countryside are busy preparing for spring plowing.

Seeing all kinds of troubles, Murong Ke also had to feel that Governor Shen had a strong control over the situation in Jiangbei. If his father really thought that the turmoil in Jiangdong was an opportunity that could be used, it would most likely be in vain, and he would see evil in Huainan instead.

Finally, the officials of the Governor's Mansion came to inform Murong Ke that he was going to meet the Governor of Shen Da.

In the former Governor's Mansion of Guangling City, Shen Zhezi was dressed in fashionable clothes, and there were a lot of letters piled up on the desk in front of him. Seeing Murong Ke enter the ceremony, he just nodded slightly in response, signaling Murong Ke to take the seat, and then bowed his head to review.

Murong Ke was in the banquet, his mood was extremely uneasy, he wanted to speak several times, but after peeking at the stern expression on the slightly frowning brows of Governor Shen, he still didn't dare.

"The common affairs are too busy, so I have neglected Xuan Gong."

After a while, Shen Zhezi raised his head, looked at Murong Ke and said.

"The governor is busy with official duties, and I take the liberty to ask you to see me. It is I who should plead guilty to the governor."

After hearing the words, Murong Ke hastily cupped his hands and replied.

"Xuan Gong, you are one of the few sages in the border, and you are not inferior to my Chinese figure. To be honest, I have the intention to use you as a national. In front of you, I will not be too formal, and just discuss the matter."

Shen Zhezi put down the brush in his hand, then sorted out the letters he had reviewed before, selected a few of them, and looked at Murong Ke and said: "People don't talk about relatives, but now let's discuss the state affairs. Your lord What the Duke of Liaodong has done recently, there are many people who are awe-inspiring."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal the valet to come forward and hand over the selected letters to Murong Ke for him to read.

When Murong Ke heard this, his heart gradually grew awe-inspiring, and when he took a closer look at those letters, cold sweat was already on his forehead.The matters described in these letters are mostly related to the Liao region. There is evidence that the Bohai Feng family stole Huainan armaments, and there is also evidence that his father Murong Hao annexed and bullied various Jin people in the Liao region.There are red brush and red ticks between the lines, and there is a bloody smell involuntarily.

Holding these letters in his hands, Murong Ke was also thinking about the purpose of Governor Shen for showing them to him.It is true that Huainan Cheng is powerful, but if he wants to use this to frighten the Liao land, it is actually not enough.Especially at the moment when Jiangdong is unstable, even if the Liao region has some rebellious behaviors, it is impossible for the governor of Shen Dadu to take any substantive actions.

But besides that, Murong Ke tasted some other meanings hidden in it, that is, some messages from Liao, which even Murong Ke didn't understand. If it is true, you can imagine Huainan The penetration of the Dudu Mansion into the Liao land has actually been relatively deep and detailed.

Shen Zhezi didn't wait for Murong Ke to express his position, but only sneered in the banquet: "I know that the Duke of Liaodong has doubts about me, or thinks that I deeply hinder him from inheriting his father's shadow because of retaliation for his early years. To be honored is to be rewarded for the meritorious service in Jinzuo in the early years. As for your father, I don’t see him, I don’t know his name, and I don’t know about him, but the housework can’t be determined by default. Can he bear this honor?"

This has already been said very impolitely. Murong Ke couldn't bear to be reprimanded for his father's mediocrity face to face, even if he was under the control of others, so he cupped his hands and said: "I am young and white, and it is difficult to discuss the right and wrong of the state affairs by the governor However, as a son of man, I really dare not ask my relatives about the virtuous and foolish. The only thing I can say is that my father has never abandoned himself because of remoteness since he succeeded his ancestors. There is slack..."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he laughed: "I am angry inside, sternly outside, and occasionally slipped a word. I would like to apologize to Xuan Gong for this. But I can't help but feel that the old man on the border actually gave birth to Xin'er. Yu Xuangong, you are really unfair, if you are lucky enough to be born in Zhuxia's family, so introverted and extroverted, even I will let you have half of the table."

When Murong Ke heard this, he felt extremely awkward in his heart. The governor of Shen Da admitted his mistake simply, but his words were all derogatory to his father, and he also showed full appreciation for him, which made him feel bad. response.

"Since you don't want to hear more about the characters, Xuan Gong, I won't go into details. I'm still talking about the current affairs. I invite you to come to see me today, but I still don't want to expose the bad things in the Liao land. I know that the place is far away. In China, it is inevitable that Liaodong public affairs should be more expedient, but this is not a reason for rebellious governance."

Shen Zhezi looked at Murong Ke with his hand on the book case and said: "Recently, the situation in Jiangdong has been unstable, and I have no time to look north because I have to wait for the imperial edict to be settled. There is no need to deny this. When the turmoil in Ji is settled, the king's order will still be great after all. Using Jiangbei, although I have the heart to take advantage of it, I will never tolerate the exposure of flaws. Although the Liao land is far away, it is also ruled by the king's order, and it must not be left outside the law for a long time."

"If Duke Liaodong is not competent to take care of the frontier people, then I will ask myself to tell the Mingtang, and I will give the title of Da Shanyu to Du Liao, and make your father and uncle work separately, so that the border can be calm."

When Murong Ke heard this, his heart suddenly jumped again.In fact, his family is far away in Liao, so there is no need to look up to Jin Zuo, but it is a pity that the family is not good, and the brothers are against each other, so they cannot coexist peacefully.In Huainan, apart from exerting constraints on righteousness and fame, there are also business groups that cross the sea and go straight to Liao, giving direct support to his uncle Murong Ren.

The so-called Du Liao is Huainan's name for his uncle Murong Ren.As early as before his father was recognized by Jin Zuo, Murong Ren had already obtained the title of General Du Liao first.Especially the year before last when his father planned to step on the ice to attack Murong Ren when the sea was frozen, it was because of the reminder from Huainan that he returned without success, and a considerable part of the soldiers were injured by Murong Ren's counterattack.

Now the governor of Shenyang is bringing up the old story again, and wants to transfer the Dadanyu number imposed on his father by the Jiangdong Taifu to Murong Ren. I imagined that there would be another wave of turmoil in Liao.

Especially some of his grandfather's old ministries and his other uncles were quite dissatisfied with Murong Hao's inability to control chaos and being too cruel to his brothers. Because of Murong Ren's long existence, the division of Murong's tribe became more and more serious.

Shen Zhezi also understands that in order for Murong Ke to follow his own wishes to send messages to Liao to influence Murong Hao, it is not enough to rely on such false words to intimidate him, and he still needs to give the other party certain benefits.

So after pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi said again: "Actually, the Liaodong public is willing to send you Xuan Gong to the south, and I can also see that he has a wish to cultivate well and has reciprocal plans. Because it was earlier that I asked to set up a side trade in the Liao border. , using the materials from the Central Plains to help the suffering in the wilderness, but it is a pity that this has been delayed."

When Murong Ke heard this, he opened his mouth again, not knowing what to say.This commercial agreement was actually one of the treaties negotiated with Huainan earlier, but later the Jiangdong Center gave Murong Hao a super-qualified official, which changed Murong Hao's mind again, and even violated the agreement with Huainan, and even made people secretly sue Murong Ke found an opportunity to escape back to Liaodong, so he didn't have to be humiliated by Huainan.

But because Murong Ke's situation in Huainan was not bad at that time, and he also knew that once he got it back, his situation would not be improved, but would only get worse.If the situation changes in the future and the Liao region needs to negotiate with Huainan again, he is likely to be pushed out as a scapegoat, so he simply stayed on the grounds that he couldn't calm down.

"This matter is not in Huainan, but I never thought that Liaodong Gong's subordinates would still raise such thieves and traitors, and they would lure our Huainan officials to steal and use them for private use. I can't bear such humiliation! Huainan officials who committed crimes have already The Liaodong Lord must give me an explanation for the same people involved in the incident in the Liao land! Otherwise, there is no need to discuss the theory of intercommunication, and from now on, all threads and particles from the Central Plains will not be allowed to enter the Liao wasteland!"

When Shen Zhezi spoke up to this point, he raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

"Please allow me to explain this matter in detail. This is definitely not my father's will, it is purely the boldness of the subordinates. If the governor did not tell me, I still don't know..."

After hearing the words, Murong Ke hurriedly got up and said, in fact, if you want to go deeper into the matter of privately buying Huainan ordnance, it has to be traced back to the early Liao Dynasty envoys who came to Huainan for business negotiations. Being obstructed by officials in Huainan, Murong Ke wanted to report it, but was blocked by Feng Yi, who said it was a good opportunity to steal Huainan's ordnance.

From then on, this matter was handled by Feng Yi, even if Murong Ke wanted to ask, he couldn't do it, so before seeing the testimony in the letter, he really didn't know that Feng Yi had actually done it, and the supervision of the Huainan Metropolitan Government was really tough , It was found out in such a short period of time.Calculating the time, I knew that the transaction must not have been carried out several times, and in the end, a handle was handed over to Huainan.

"There are so many villains on the sidelines, it's really hard to guard against, and this only shows the value of a person like you, Xuan Gong, who is respectful and talented!"

After listening to Murong Ke's statement, Shen Zhezi sighed again and said: "Although I will not hold on to my thoughts and block the Liao land with mere two or three traitors, but this matter must not be exposed. The Feng family must be severely punished. As for future business exchanges, I only trust you, Xuan Gong!"

When Murong Ke heard this, he was already ecstatic in his heart. He finally paid off by staying in Huainan against his father's will!
Although Murong Ke also knew in his heart that the treatment of him by the governor of Shen Dadu was really an obvious way to alienate him, but if he could become a middleman for Liaodi, Huainan and even the whole Central Plains to communicate with each other, the benefits he would get would be real. of.Moreover, Governor Shen's hint was very obvious, as long as he can defeat Feng Shi, this matter will be handed over to him.

With Murong Ke, a loser who was assigned as a hostage, it is naturally impossible to defeat the Bohai Feng family, but Murong Ke has such an important bargaining chip in his hands, so he can naturally use this as a temptation to attract more allies in Liao.

He has seen with his own eyes that the Central Plains is more prosperous than the Liao land. In previous years, because there was no stable channel, he could only be content with poverty.But now there is a channel in front of him. If he can preside over the sharing of the profits generated from it, the human and material resources he can leverage through this are huge enough to change his situation drastically!
So even if he knew it was a bait, Murong Ke had to swallow it. Even if there was poison in it, it would be worse than the current situation where he has no power to protect himself and lets himself be fished by mermaids!

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to maintain a good interactive relationship between Liaodi and Huainan, so Murong Ke stated that he would send a letter to persuade his father to severely punish those involved, and quickly outlined the whole plan in his mind.

Murong Ke's performance was exactly what Shen Zhezi wanted.In fact, ever since Emperor Xuandi Sima Yi conquered Liao and destroyed Yan, the entire Central Plains was quite unfamiliar with the internal situation of Liao, and after going south to Zhongxing, until now, Shen Zhezi could not find a single person under his command who was familiar with Liao affairs.Instead of going to the doctor in a hurry, it is better to borrow a talent who is familiar with Liao affairs.

It would be best if Murong Ke could influence his father's decision-making behavior. Even if he couldn't, Shen Zhezi would have nothing to lose. He could just calm down the situation in Jiangdong more quickly, and then return to the town army in the north without stopping. By the way, dig another hole.

After meeting with Murong Ke, Shen Zhezi had no time to rest, and soon there was an urgent military situation from Liang County: Jiangdong had received conclusive news, the empress dowager died in Jianping Garden, Chu Hong fled to Xuancheng in the south, and Xiao Yuandong of Liang County had no time after getting the news For instructions, the king of Wuling has been asked to command the army to go south to capture Liyang.

After hearing the news, Shen Zhezi was also shocked. Although he had tried his best to imagine that the situation of the emperor and the empress dowager was not good, he did not expect that it would be so serious that the empress dowager would die in this turmoil.

So Shen Zhezi quickly summoned a group of officials to discuss with all kinds of news, and finally decided not to wait for the so-called Mingtang edict. Tan sent across the river.When choosing the envoy, Yu Bin took the initiative to ask Ying to lead some envoys across the river first.
