I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 158
"It's been more than half a year since I went to Beijing. Master Yuanjue still looks great." After leaving Yin'an Hall, Pang Zhigu exchanged greetings with Monk Yuanjue.

Although Monk Yuanjue was wearing a monk's robe, he was very burly, nearly nine feet tall, and besides his majestic appearance, he also had kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

The last time the two met was on the eve of Shangyuan, when they were plotting to assassinate the Taoist emperor.Although it fell short, it shocked the court a lot.Therefore, Monk Yuanjue admired Pang Zhigu's strategy very much.

"Amitabha, a lost dog, was taken in by King Yan, and is just dying."

The two left the palace and walked on the streets of Jianye. Although they were "escorted" by the guards of the Wu Palace, they did not restrict their movements, and the son watched from a distance.

"This Jianye city is worthy of being the former capital of the Six Dynasties. The remaining treasures of the Southern Dynasties, I am afraid that there are eight points here. The traffickers and pawns on the streets all have the misty atmosphere of the Six Dynasties."

Pang Zhigu walked on the streets of Jianye City very comfortably, looking at the various vendors doing business on both sides, and lamenting the context of this world-famous city.

Monk Yuanjue smiled and said, "This place has a predestined relationship with the Buddha."

Pang Zhi Gu Tonghou smiled.

This great monk is not talking nonsense. When the North and the South were confronting each other, there was an emperor in the Southern Dynasty who was a devout Buddhist.During his reign, Buddhist temples were extensively built. The poets of this dynasty once wrote a famous article "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the mist and rain."

But the fate of that "Emperor Bodhisattva" is not very good.
Although hundreds of years have passed since the Southern Dynasties, Jianye has been the imperial capital of several generations of the Southern Dynasties.The style of worshiping Buddha has been preserved.

It's like monk Yuanjue walking on the street, and pedestrians are constantly saluting him. Among these people are those wearing Qiluo, and there are also traffickers and pawns.

The two walked all the way to the Qinhuai River, found a teahouse, and sat by the railing.

"Mr. Pang, does King Wu agree to our terms?" Yuan Jue asked after sitting down and drinking a cup of tea.

Pang Zhigu held the teacup in his hand, but looked at the Qinhuai River: "Now it's up to him. Li Shizhong is dead, and the imperial court must send more elites to help. With the manpower and material resources in the south of the Yangtze River, can he withstand it?"

Yuanjue nodded and said: "But Mr. Pang should be clear that no matter how powerful Jiangnan is, as long as the frontier troops in the four towns and Guanzhong don't move, King Yan will not move."

Pang Zhigu laughed when he heard the words: "King Yan is so head-to-head, it will make the heroes of the world laugh."

Yuanjue said: "After all, King Yan is still a minister of Jin."

Pang Zhigu snorted coldly, "Prince Yan's mansion has a good plan. But I don't know the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the court cleans up King Wu, won't the next step be to take the opportunity to take Liaodong back?"

Yuan Jue shook his head: "This matter is beyond the knowledge of the old monk. The old monk is just passing on a message for the prince and running errands. The affairs of Prince Yan's mansion are decided by the prince and Mr. Yao."

Pang Zhigu knew that what Yuan Jue said was the truth, so he didn't continue to mock, but turned his head and continued to look at the foggy Qinhuai River.

After a long while, Pang Zhigu suddenly looked at Monk Yuanjue again: "Isn't King Yan waiting to join forces with Qingtang and Jinzhang? If so, no matter whether he succeeds or not, his reputation in Qing history is even higher than King Wu's." Not as good."

Monk Yuanjue met Pang Zhigu's gaze, without any intention of dodging, "How can such a hero as King Yan be burdened by false fame?"

"Hahahaha what a false name."

After laughing, Pang Zhigu stood up, looked at the river and said, "Wu Wang, Yan Wang and other heroes who don't care about fame will not be able to accomplish anything."

Yuanjue asked back: "Can Fang Shenggong accomplish anything?"

Pang Zhigu said: "It can't be done."

"Since Mr. Pang knows that Honglian Dao can't accomplish anything, why do you still want to work for it? Since you are good at military affairs and government affairs, and you are also a prime minister, why not."

"Serve the court? Hahahaha, is that what I think I can do?"

Yuan Jue nodded, "Even if you are a child from a humble family, it is difficult to stand out in the court. But even so, with your talent, you can devote yourself to the shogunate of princes and generals, and you may not be able to show what you have learned."

Pang Zhigu looked at him, then shook his head and said, "If you don't want to, then you can't. I'm from Jingchu."

When Yuanjue heard about people from Jingchu, he immediately thought of the Pang family in Xiangzhou more than 20 years ago. Because some people participated in the rebellion case of King Lu, they were widely implicated and almost punished by the clan. If there were too many, it was changed to exile in Lingnan.

And because of treason, this is an unforgivable crime.

Only now did Yuanjue understand why Pang Zhigu had such a talent but could only work for Hongliandao.

Except for those who are always ready to rebel, who would dare to use the Queen of Rebels?
In the Yin'an Hall, King Wu looked at a huge map of the whole Jin Dynasty, sighed and said, "Guanzhong, Hebei, Shuofang, Hedong, Longyou, Jiannan, and Gyeonggi. Are these going to be divided?"

At this time, no matter whether it was the eldest son Zhao Chenghao, the chief minister Gu Xianglin, or the governor Xue Julin, they all remained silent.

They knew that as long as one person agrees, a mountain in King Wu's heart can be unloaded.But no one dared to open the mouth.

Even the eldest son Zhao Chenghao.

Zhao Chenghao wanted to speak several times but finally swallowed all the words. This is a rebellion and he still wants to save face?

Besides, what is the relationship between Guanzhong, Hebei, Shuofang, Hedong, Longyou and Wu Wangfu?Beat down?Don't even look at who will be Da Jin's home.

Now thinking about face, what did you do earlier?
However, these words are often unspoken.

Now Hongliandao's proposal is a life-saving straw for Zhao Deyu.No matter what he said, he was easy to catch.

"Forget it, the big deal is that in the future, I will wait for Gu to rule the world and stabilize Jiangnan, and then I will take it back."

"My lord, at this time, you can make excuses with Honglian Dao, but on the other side, you can't just wait for them to start an incident. Now that Li Shizhong has just died, and the hearts of the northern soldiers are fluctuating, Zhang Ji and Guo Kan are nothing to be afraid of. Take this opportunity to attack Jiang Zhou, once the imperial court reacts and sends a large army southward, there will be no chance of fighting."

Zhao Deyu sighed and said: "I already know the words of Dudu Xue, and I naturally believe in the judgment of Dudu, but now the battle with the state is too miserable, can the army still fight?"

Before Xue Julin could speak, Shi Gu Xianglin wanted to say: "If you can fight, the battle of Hezhou is already a deadly situation, but the divine wind descends from the sky to help our army out of trouble. The battle of Xuanzhou, if it weren't for Li Shizhong Sudden illness and death, Dudu Xue's troops must not be able to escape smoothly, these two things are destiny. The soldiers heard that the army's spirit is strong!"

When Zhao Deyu heard "Destiny", he immediately became excited again, "This is true."

Xue Julin said: "What Gu Changshi said is very true. At this time, when the commander of the army is mourning and the morale of the army is fluctuating, attack Jiangzhou. Although the Northern Army is numerous, it is like a loose sand. It will be broken!"

When Zhao Deyu heard that the two most important ministers, civil and military, said that he could fight, his desire to fight for supremacy was rekindled.

"In that case, I will leave it to Dudu Xue."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, if you can't win Jiangzhou, Xue will come to see you."

Finally hearing the order to send troops, Xue Julin immediately issued a military order.

"The governor's words are serious"

After the agreement, Gu Xianglin and Xue Julin also left Yin'an Hall together.

Gu Xianglin said: "Doctor Xue thinks that if he forms an alliance with Honglian Dao, can things be accomplished?"

Xue Julin shook his head and said, "If Honglian Dao raises an incident in Huainan, Jingchu and other important places, maybe there is a chance."

Gu Xianglin frowned when he heard the words, "What the prince said just now is that Lingnan, Huainan, and Jingchu are three places. Could it be that the old nest of Red Lotus Road is in these places? But how did the prince know? It seems that it is early Be prepared."

Xue Julin said casually: "Probably hidden in the deep mountains of these places."

When Gu Xianglin heard this, he clapped his hands immediately and said: "Extremely extreme. The imperial court has launched several hunts and cannot find the location of his headquarters. It must be hidden in the deep mountains! It's a pity, if we can know the chief rudder of the Red Lotus Road The location is disclosed to the court, so that the pressure on our army will be greatly reduced. At that time, Honglian Dao will not be able to move even if he doesn't want to move, so he can just give them whatever he wants. Otherwise, these people will not only want a verbal split The agreement of the world, I will definitely open my mouth to ask for some practical benefits."

Gu Xianglin also hit the nail on the head.

The so-called equal division of the world with Honglian Road and Yanwang Mansion is just empty talk, and no one will take this agreement seriously.

It's just that the imperial court is powerful now, if they don't depend on each other, they will be defeated sooner or later.

And the current agreement, whether it is a covenant, is nothing but the present.

Wai Yi really wiped out Da Jin, and it's really hard to say who will turn his face first.

After all, the tradition of the Zhao family in the Great Jin Dynasty is "how can others snore and sleep on the side of the couch".

And this truth.Honglian Road and Yanwang Mansion naturally also understand.
