The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 147
Tread-tap-

Among the fields, official roads, distant mountains, and between the roads of heavy rain, horses' hoofs galloped, and more than a hundred figures on horseback, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, rushed to the city gate with a body of water vapor.

Roadside merchants and travelers hurriedly evacuated by pulling their own carriages. The roaring cavalry stopped in unison in the voice of Meng Juehai's "wow". With a chorus, they raised their bows and set their arrows.

"Meng Juehai!! Could it be that you are the only one with soldiers!"

Being reprimanded by the decree, the other party was promoted instead, that's all, now the other party actually asked the soldiers to point their bows at his side, Shang Rang rode on the horse and urged the horse back and forth a few steps, obviously irritated.

He held his whip and raised his hand, and all the cavalry under his command turned their bows and arrows, and the two sides immediately confronted each other. Wang Bo, who was hovering in front of the spear formation, pointed his knife at Meng Juehai, Gai Hong, and Ge Congzhou who were rushing forward.

"We are fellow rebels, why are we not as good as an outsider, what else do you three have to say?!"

"No-brainer!"

Meng Juehai often prided himself on his martial arts skills in the army. Except for Deng Tianwang, it would be difficult for anyone to stand against him. He looked down on the other generals of the rebel army. He rode over and hummed, "What can I say? Your Majesty Meaning is just words, but I want to ask, what is the purpose of the two of you holding your own troops to intercept Prime Minister Geng?"

The atmosphere was suddenly tense.

Downstairs in the city, the people and merchants who originally wanted to watch the excitement felt that the atmosphere was not right, so they pulled their companions back a little, and stood behind the eaves of the neighbors to peek.

"What's the intention? Naturally seek justice! If His Majesty won't give it to us, we will do it ourselves!" At this point, Wang Bo didn't intend to save face. He raised his knife and pointed at the carriage and Geng Qing on the chariot.

"He! How can He De be able to sit in the position? There must be some kind of slander, so that His Majesty reprimanded us. It was also defeated. Why did the Meng Defense Envoy who followed him all the way be promoted? Why—"

The last sentence almost yelled out.

Geng Qing didn't want to explain this matter, and was about to speak, but Meng Juehai, who hurried over behind him, opened his mouth first, with a big gun lying in the middle, and then swept half a circle and pointed at Wang Bo as well.

"You know what Geng Xiang is doing. If you dare to take a step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless. Take your people back."

"Ah"

That Wang Bo laughed angrily, bared his teeth and squeezed out a sneer, "Okay, I'll hurry up and fight with you!"

"No!"

Gai Hong and Ge Congzhou shouted loudly, came over on horseback, and stood in the middle to persuade them. Gai Hong clasped his fists, "General Wang, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding here. We all saw it in our eyes and admired it in our hearts, and it was not treacherous as the two of you said."

Aside, Ge Congzhou nodded.

"Brother Gai's words are not bad. When Prime Minister Geng took office, Ge still had some doubts about him, but what he saw and heard today, he admired him. Prime Minister Geng planned for Da Qi and our generals, and he was affirmed by His Majesty." .”

"After receiving the benefits, naturally speak for him."

Wang Bo couldn't listen to it, but today he also knew that he would definitely not be able to take down Geng Qing. When he turned his horse's head back to the cavalry, Shang Rang opened his mouth. He looked at the three of them, and suddenly pulled his cloak to the front .

Hiss.

A large strip of cloth was thrown from his hand in the air, and while passing through his vision, he looked at the three and shouted in a low voice:

"The weapon is pointed at my brother, so it doesn't matter if you don't want the friendship from the past!"

Gai Hong wanted to catch up, but Meng Juehai raised his hand to stop him: "Stop chasing, such a reckless man, it's shameful to be a brother!"

He looked at the second general who led the troops away, closed his eyes, and felt a little bit reluctant after all. After a moment, he let out a deep breath, then waved back the surrounding soldiers, put away their guns and dispersed, and hurried the horses to the chariot Before the chariot.

"Geng Xiang, can you be hurt by these two people?"

"It's nothing. The two generals just have nowhere to vent their anger. Geng can understand. They are menacing, and they may not be violent. I actually like to be reasonable. If the general is late, I have to persuade you." gone."

Geng Qing replied with a smile. In his voice, the hand behind his back threw a heavy object back to the curtain behind without a trace, and then he bowed his hand and returned the salute, "Geng won't tell His Majesty about this matter. There can be no chaos, and General Meng should not embarrass them when he comes down, we should focus on the overall situation, stabilize Chang'an first, accumulate strength, and deal with Tang Ting slowly."

"Well, what Geng Xiang said is exactly what I think."

Meng Juehai invited Geng Qing to go back to the car and sit down. He urged the horse to accompany him and walked into the city. He continued through the curtain, "I'm afraid that Shang Rang and Wang Bo will not give up. Later, when they hear that those refugees are going to Guitian will definitely jump out again, if it hinders my Daqi's fundamental plan in the future, I will end up with them forever!"

The big man on the horseback is not stupid, he knows in his heart more or less that his side has been promoted, and Shang Rang and the two have been scolded for being suspected of estrangement, but there is a reason for this, if Geng Qing hadn't been dismissed from office and reinstated, how could people like himself Get rid of the crime of defeat and dereliction of duty?

If Geng Qing made a mistake, then they cannot get rid of the responsibility. If Geng Qing is promoted, then they have to follow along. They are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they are all prosperous.

But at least, what the young prime minister in the car did was for Da Qi's benefit, so offending two Pao Ze who didn't get along very often was not so important.

Thinking, he hummed twice on the horseback.

"Don't worry about Geng Xiang, those two people will be able to clean up with one hand."

"Then Geng has General Lao Meng."

The wind and the rain fell on the long street, the eaves, and the roof of the car. Many cavalry escorted the carriage and drove slowly through the street. They stopped only after arriving at the imperial city. The three generals of Geng Qingchao bid farewell and thanked Meng Juehai for sending fifty The cavalry gave him kindness, and soon he got off the car and entered the palace to face the saint.

In the Zichen Palace, he told Huang Chao what happened just now, and the old man was so angry that he almost threw the teacup at him, but when he raised his hand, Qin Huaimian pressed his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, have you seen that the generals of the Rebel Army are not made of iron? In the bustling world of Chang'an, it is easy for people to linger and forget their original intentions."

Geng Qing didn't care about the old man's actions, and sat lazily on the side chair, almost reclining posture, shaking the tea in his hand, making ripples.

He blinked his eyes and suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, guess, will they fight after that? Do you think Taiwei Shangrang is better, or Meng Juehai is better?"

"Insidious and cunning people!"

Huang Chao was held down and couldn't move. He could only show an angry look on his face. He struggled hard twice, and squeezed out words between his teeth: "Sooner or later, they will see that it will be your death."

"At that time, His Majesty may have died first."

Geng Qing saw that the rain had stopped outside the hall, stood up, patted his robes and walked out, took the oil-paper umbrella handed by the eunuch outside the door, stepped out of the eaves, and there was a sound.

"Huang Wang, just sit down and watch how I can dismantle you as a big player."

The clouds were thick and hadn't dissipated yet. The afternoon sun broke through the gaps in the clouds in the west and shone down. On the wet street, the carriage that drove out of the imperial city went all the way back to Yong'an Square.

The house was full of all kinds of gifts, and the named gift list was put away by Qiao Niang, who was almost taller than her in her arms, and wobbled over, probably to show Geng Qing.

As soon as he entered the middle hall, he stumbled on the threshold, and Da Lala fell to the ground, throwing all kinds of meat and vegetables, and a large pile of gift slips scattered everywhere.

Geng Qing sighed, went to help her pick up these things one by one.

Not far away, Dachun plucked up his courage and walked into his parents' room. He didn't know what to say, and was chased all over the yard by his father with a wooden stick. The red fox lying under the eaves followed curiously, running Call, that one is cheerful.

It was getting dark.

Wang Jinqiu finished dinner, rang the wooden spoon, and yelled to eat outside the kitchen. Dachun, who was running, hurried back into the room, took his own big bowl and ran over excitedly. When he turned his head, his father grabbed him. The stick hit his forehead, and he squatted on the ground in pain and kneaded vigorously, causing everyone to squat under the eaves with their food in their hands and laugh together.

On one side, Qiao Niang pursed her lips and smiled, not forgetting to put a piece of meat in the bowl into Geng Qing's bowl, the next moment, the other side also stretched out chopsticks, and Bai Yunxiang also put the meat slices into the uncle's bowl.

The two women looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly froze,

Geng Qing looked at the two girls left and right, and then looked at the rice bowl in his hand, and the chopsticks on top of it clashed fiercely.

Bah bah bah.
The fight was so dark that it was hard to tell the winner.

　A chapter that came too late.

　　The plot is not coherent, especially the later confrontation.
