Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 126 Two-pronged Approach in Light and Darkness

"Perhaps, it was the little palace lady who lied!" Despite his reluctance, King Yizheng had to admit with a sigh. After thinking about it, he felt a little sorry for calling others here for such a small matter, so he forced a smile Laughing, her tone became much gentler, she raised her hand and patted King Li on the shoulder, and sighed: "I was the one who was impatient just now, Brother Gu, don't worry about it. Sigh, it's hard to say that you can't tell others. My brother said it was all right, but to be honest, I was worried that His Majesty was young and playful, leaving the palace in low clothes, if something happened, it would be troublesome! In those two days, His Majesty refused to summon his ministers, and he did not deal with it , this king is inevitably suspicious. If not, that would be the best!"

"Hehe, the King of Discussion is loyal, how can I care about it!" Seeing that he finally believed in him, King Li was very happy and said, "Your Majesty has always been wise, so I don't think he would do such a thing!"

"That's right!" The King of Political Affairs absent-mindedly agreed.

The two of them had nothing to say, and after a short while, King Li left, and the King of Political Affairs pretended to stay for dinner, how could King Li stay and insisted on leaving, so the King of Political Affairs would be fine.

Leaving the residence of King Yizheng and boarding the sedan chair, Prince Li immediately relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.Just now, I almost got wet in a cold sweat.

When he couldn't ask for a meeting that day, and thinking about the behavior of Yizheng Wang and his wife in those two days that his people had monitored, and seeing Yizheng Wang coming towards him, he immediately understood why he came.

Although it is not clear what Gu Qinghua's purpose is, but, as a descendant of the Gu family, how could he not help her at a critical moment?He is sure that with his cowardly, wise and self-protective behavior that is almost neurotic, he will be able to fool the king of politics.

Humph, joke!Does the world really think that Gu Liangzhen is as timid as a mouse?He is also a person with the surname Gu, and the blood of the Gu clan flows through his body, how can he ignore the sight of outsiders coveting the Gu clan?
If there is no skin and hair, there will be security!
It seems that Gu Liangzhen tightened his palms, looked ahead and blinked quickly, it's time for him to find a chance to have a showdown with His Majesty!Over the years, pretending is enough!And His Majesty also needs support and help.

What's more, he still bears the last emperor's will on his body.Poor late Emperor, suddenly realized that the wolf named Mu had already been made extremely ill by him when he was ambitious!God is pitiful, the new emperor who came back from Fan Kingdom is young, but his behavior is good. He thinks that she will be able to fulfill the last wish of the late emperor, and he doesn't need to find an opportunity to contact the second princess. The throne changes frequently. , is not a good thing...

On that day, the King of Political Affairs asked for an order to return to the capital. The reason was that the official affairs in the capital had been delayed for too long, and there might be changes.Of course Gu Qinghua refused, he went back to Zhai Fengcheng silently at this time, and if someone deliberately spread some faint rumors, others didn't think that she, Gu Qinghua, drove him back on purpose?That way, everyone will feel resentment towards her.

Gu Qinghua simply didn't do one thing and kept going. Didn't he say that if the official affairs in the capital were delayed for too long, there might be changes?Gu Qinghua simply transferred two or three capable generals of his faction back to preside over official duties, and casually secretly sent someone to send a letter to Liu Jia, asking him to do something about it, so that those people can have a good time.

Prince Yizheng was stunned, he didn't expect that she would dare to molest him secretly!A faint uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, an uneasiness that he hadn't noticed yet.

The next day, Shen Liulian still convened a meeting of local officials in the hall of the government office to discuss the matter of recruiting pirates. As a result, even though Shen Liulian was quick-witted, talented in writing, and sharp in eloquence, he had no choice but to fight four-handedly, not to mention that he faced more than With four hands, one sentence from each other is enough for him.The two sides presented the facts, reasoned, and quoted scriptures. After a day of tossing, they still broke up without any results.

Gu Qinghua couldn't help smiling wryly, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that she had such a firm ally as Shen Liulian.Su Jun can't be put on the bright side. As a big boss, she can have her own ideas, but she can't do everything according to her own ideas. On the bright side, she has to be impartial. Only in this way can people's hearts be maintained. And one side is stable.

Besides, as a monarch and an empress, she can't disregard her image and quarrel with the people below until her face turns red and her neck thick with spittle, right?
Gu Qinghua was secretly grateful for the miraculous luck. Back then, King Yizheng managed to drive Shen Liulian out of the capital. Maybe he would never have dreamed of today, right?
However, those people would not know that what Shen Liulian said represented her meaning, but they still quarreled with blushing necks, and she felt deeply annoyed.

In the evening of that year, Gu Qinghua ordered Yu Lin's guards to quietly go to Zhang Zhifu's house to deliver an edict and call for an audience.

Zhang Zhifu naturally understood what she was going to say at this time, and he was not afraid to follow the people who came and went.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qinghua first stared at him for a long time, and then said: "Zhang Aiqing has been in southern Xinjiang for 12 years, right?"

Zhang Zhifu was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, Weichen was a small county magistrate in Qingfeng County, Nanyang County back then, and 12 years have passed in a blink of an eye!"

Gu Qinghua smiled and said: "Well, it's not easy to become the magistrate of Southeast County from the small county magistrate of Nanyang County!" Officials in Nanyang County don't like it very much, especially in the south. It is really not easy for Zhang Zhifu to become the magistrate of Southeast County from a small county magistrate in Nanyang.

"Fear of the lowly position!" Zhang Zhifu said modestly, but his heart was still very comfortable, and most of the anger in his heart was relieved, and hurriedly said: "This is the kindness of the late emperor, and the humble position is endless!"

"That requires you to be talented!" Gu Qinghua laughed, she pondered for a while, and then said: "Actually, to be honest, the late emperor really didn't grant you much kindness. Aiqing, you are in southern Xinjiang. In [-], I worked diligently for the people, and the official stele is very good. It is my fault that such talents are not used. I want to transfer you to the capital, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhifu's heart skipped a beat, his mouth opened, but he couldn't utter a word.

The news came without any warning in advance, and it made him dizzy, and he was blinded all of a sudden!
Zhai Fengcheng is the heart of the country, the political center, which official would not want to go?When he faced the breeze and bright moon, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about it or yearned for it.

But he never thought that the opportunity would come suddenly at this special moment.Of course he knew what this meant. Gu Qinghua was trying to win him over, and at the same time he was pulling him out of the southeast officialdom.He is the magistrate and the leader in the southeast official circles. Once he leaves, it will be much easier to implement the new policies he opposes.

There was some hesitation in my heart, but I didn't dare to hesitate.Gu Qinghua gave him a lot of face, otherwise, there is not only such a way to get him away from Southeast County.She was willing to do this, and she was thinking of him!

"Why? Zhang Aiqing doesn't want to?" Gu Qinghua's slender and beautiful willow eyebrows were bent, which is obviously a very charming gesture for an ordinary woman, but she did it with a bit of indescribable sharpness. Her half-squinted phoenix eyes, The arc of her lips that seemed to be a smile but not a smile showed her thoughts, which was a sign before getting angry.

Zhang Zhifu suddenly figured it out, and his heart was clear. He knelt down, bowed his head and said: "Heaven's grace is mighty, how can I refuse this gift! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

She is his king, he will never be able to contend with her, he has no choice but to bow his head.What's more, Southeast County has suffered from pirates and plunder for many years, and it's time to understand, in this way, it's good!
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Aiqing has lived up to my expectations, I am very relieved," Gu Qinghua smiled happily, and said: "In that case, Aiqing will take care of all the affairs at hand, and wait for me to return to Luan It’s time to set off together!”

"My minister obeys the order, thank you Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhifu's voice trembled with excitement.It is not uncommon for local officials to be transferred to the capital, but how many of them drive back to Luan like him?

Gu Qinghua then summoned two or three people, all of whom were important figures in the southeast officialdom.The methods of talking are different, but the effect is the same.Speaking of which, I would like to thank Shen Liulian, he is struggling on the front line in Southeast County, what is the situation that he doesn't know?Who said that the older the scholar, the more pedantic?Not Shen Liulian!
As a result, the next day's negotiations changed direction without realizing it, from whether to accept the pirate's surrender to what should be the prerequisite for the pirate's surrender.

On this point, Gu Qinghua, Shen Liulian, and Wang Hairong have already reached an agreement, that is, Wang Hairong and others are responsible for clearing all the pirates in the southern border waters, who should be recruited, and who should be killed. Of course, Wang Hairong is obliged to do so. Therefore, the local officials in Southeast County also felt that they had saved face, so they half pushed and half said nothing.

However, they raised two difficult opinions. One is that the imperial court will not provide weapons and all assistance without money or goods, and all supplies and supplies will be handled by Wang Hairong and the others themselves; The pirate's time was set at the end of June, and now, it's already early April.It is estimated that it will take a month to prepare the supply of weapons, etc., that is to say, the time they can really use is only two months.

Regarding these two points, Shen Liulian and Wang Hairong looked at each other in blank dismay, and Wang Hairong said that he would think about it and give an answer the next day.

Going back to discuss with Gu Qinghua, Gu Qinghua thought for a while, and asked Wang Hairong, if the supply goes well, are they sure to eliminate the pirates within two months?

Wang Hairong and Lao Bao calculated on the map and replied to Gu Qinghua: Yes!
Gu Qinghua nodded and said: "Since that's the case, it's up to you! In terms of supplies, I have my own way!"

After this incident, Wang Hairong and Lao Bao's respect for Gu Qinghua rose several levels unconsciously, and they were 100% convinced by her words, and they nodded and agreed without asking why.

The negotiation finally came to an end, and finally ended in the way of recruiting security.
