Lord of the House

Vol 9 Chapter 87: induce

In addition to Chen/Yuanliang, the prefect of Qingzhou, Zuo Guitang, and Yang Pu, the stewards of the Lu Wangfu, who entered the Xiashan construction at dawn to visit Wu Jinzhou, the secretary of Shandong Xuanfu, who was Liang Xi's adviser, he accompanied him. , which undoubtedly shows that Gu Siyuan and others have negotiated terms with the Liang family before Huaidong.

Lin Bie stood with his arms folded, looked indifferently as Chen/Yuanliang and others came in, and said sarcastically, "Chenxing has just woken up, what is the urgent matter of Mr. Chen's visit? If Uncle Yang was not there, I would have thought that you came here to ask for guilt. come."

Song Jia first avoided entering the inner room, while Lin Xuwen and Gao Zongting accompany Lin Fu to stand in the hall.

"I'm really sorry for the hasty visit," Chen/Yuanliang seemed to be able to anticipate Lin Fu's anger, and it would be strange if Lin Fu was not angry, but the more ugly Lin Fu's face was, the more pleasant he was, and he said, "It's not true. If there is something to say hello to Huaidong first, but the emperor has a secret edict to call the Liang family before heading south to Shandong to discuss the abolition. Before the Empress Dowager Liang, we did not dare to be sloppy, so we could only send someone to Jinan to contact the Liang family first, delaying It's time, please don't blame me..."

"Secret edict?" Lin Fu asked stiffly, "What secret edict?"

"Yanjing was besieged, and Jiangning has not seen any reinforcements for several months. Before breaking out of the siege, the emperor wrote down this secret edict in person, and was carried by the Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu. The emperor once said that if he could not From Jinnan to Jiangning, Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu presented the secret edict to all the ministers in order to abolish and establish affairs," Chen/Yuanliang said, "After so long, there has been no news from the emperor, and the secret edict is probably already a posthumous edict. Empress Dowager Liang and the Only then did King Lu agree to make this secret edict public..."

Zuo Guitang took a brocade box with him, stepped forward, took out a cloud-patterned jade scroll edict from the brocade box, and handed it to Lin Fu with both hands.

Lin Fu took the secret edict, unfolded it for a moment, and then returned the secret edict to Zuo Guitang.

Gao Zongting and Lin Xuwen stood by Lin Fu's side, and saw clearly what was written in the so-called "secret edict", which was nothing more than abolishing Ning and Li Lu. For such a long time, with courtiers who were familiar with the affairs of the inner court, it was easy to forge an edict that was difficult to tell if it was true or false; taking ten thousand steps back, even if the edict presented by Zuo Guitang was true, could it really be possible to use this edict to make Lu Lu? The king replaced King Ning on the throne?

However, after reading the secret edict, Lin Bie's face softened and he was silent for a while, and said, "Although the emperor has not formally established a heir, but making King Ning in the vassal of Jiangdong and managing the affairs of the southeast has the meaning of passing the throne. It was also recognized by the princes of Jiangning. You take out the secret edict today, and the princes of Jiangning may not recognize it... At a time when the national crisis is at the forefront, it is not a blessing for the court to work together to defend the crown, and a sudden turmoil!"

"If the emperor is in danger, this will be the last edict. You and I are courtiers, how can you not show your holy life to the world?" Chen/Yuanliang said, "Since Yanjing was besieged, Jiangning has also been delayed. The fact that King Ning has not been established is precisely because the princes of Jiangning are loyal to the imperial court and the emperor. If the secret edict is not published and buried, you and I will not feel at ease, and the pure loyalty of the princes of Jiangning will be wasted!"

After this step, they can no longer meet each other honestly. Chen/Yuanliang also insisted on the so-called secret edict and said some empty words to test Lin Fu's attitude.

Most people who have been in the officialdom for a long time will not believe that there are people in this world who really take care of the overall situation. It is just that the interests are not attractive enough.

The relationship between Lin Fu and Chen/Yuanliang has always been indifferent. The death of Tang Haoxin made their relationship a little closer, but this kind of closeness is especially insignificant in front of the stakes.

Chen/Yuanliang went from the magistrate of Moling to the Shandong Xuanfu Division to participate in politics and to serve in the prefecture of educated youth.

After Huaidong supported Huang Jinnian and Lin Xuwen to enter the Jiangning Center, the political/political resources of the Dongyang Department that the Gu family could control would be sharply weakened. The deputy ministers such as Shilang or Shangshu left and right are in high positions, and supporting King Lu is the best time he can grasp.

When it comes to party struggles, the most intense form is no more than supporting a new emperor, which is the biggest and most important political/political resource. In the eyes of the people of Qingzhou, they could not see the national disaster in the first place. They thought that Yan Hu would be satisfied if they seized the northern land. They still wanted to be promoted and rich, and they wanted to become a minister with power and power.

Lin Fu thought with resentment in his heart, with a hesitant expression on his face, and asked, "According to what Duke Chen said, how should the Dukes of Jiangning see the secret edict? It's impossible to call everyone to Qingzhou!" Because he restrained his anger Because of this, the voice is a little hoarse.

Lin Bie was unnatural, but in Chen/Yuanliang's eyes, he speculated differently. He exchanged glances with Wu Jinzhou and said, "The journey from Qingzhou to Jiangning is a long and dangerous journey, please send troops from Huaidong and Qingzhou troops to **** the Empress Dowager Liang. , King Lu went to Jiangning, and after arriving in Jiangning, he summoned all the ministers of Jiangning out of the city to observe the secret edict at the will of the Empress Dowager Liang, and the important thing will be fixed..."

The Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu were still under the control of Qingzhou. No matter how stupid people in Qingzhou were, they would not hand Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu to the Liang family, nor would the Liang family send troops to control Jiangning. Everyone in Qingzhou knew that the Qingzhou army was not strong in combat, and even with Gu Wuchen and Jiangning Shuiying as their inner responders, they were still not completely sure; only by pulling Huaidong up could the people in Jiangning obey obediently.

Chen/Yuanliang stared at Lin Fu, and said in his heart: Although it was our fault to take Empress Dowager Liang, King Lu and others to Qingzhou, you should be angry, but this is a good thing, we did not keep Huaidong out !

"It's not that easy, it's very dangerous and unpredictable. To be absolutely sure, Huaidong must first transfer all the water camps and warships from eastern Zhejiang," Lin Fu said while thinking, "but regardless of King Lining, Still Lilu King, Huaidong will serve loyally, why take such a big risk? To be honest, according to the national system, the edict must be archived by the inner court for comparison. Yanjing fell, and the authenticity of the edict could not be verified. I am afraid In the end, the father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, but it is not good to quarrel - I think it is better for Qingzhou not to participate in this matter!"

Although Lin Fu persuaded Qingzhou to get out of the incident, his tone of speech had loosened, and he also asked Huaidong about the benefits of participating in the incident. Chen/Yuanliang's uneasy heart dropped half, and he knew that things could be promising. He was really afraid that Lin Fu would be satisfied with the status quo and not think about making progress. With Huaidong's participation, although there is no 100% certainty about this matter, 80% or 90% certainty is still there. What's wrong?

Chen/Yuanliang thought to himself who could face the temptation of standing up and not be tempted? Huaidong, Qingzhou and the Liang family jointly established King Lu as the emperor, and naturally the three families jointly controlled the government. How can the benefits of this be compared to the independence of Huaidong? In Huaidong, even if you count Mingzhou Prefecture, there are more than 20 counties. They are doing well here, and there are nearly 40 counties in eastern Shandong.

"King Lu also has the intention to rectify the government," Chen/Yuanliang said. "I want to set up a Privy Council outside the Ministry of War to manage military affairs and control the affairs of pacifying the imperial captives. With your ability, it is a grievance to take the position of the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Yes, and the envoy of the Huaidong system also needs the Weiyang Mansion to be included in the defense area, so that it can be regarded as a true name..."

"Then the Qingzhou army went to Jiangning, can't they come back?" Lin Fu asked.

"King Lu returned to Jiangning for the first time, his foundation was unstable, and there was no trusted person. Only the water camp in Jiangning was insufficient. King Lu wanted to stay in the Qingzhou army to serve as a guard in Jiangning," Chen/Yuanliang said. "The defense of the former Qingzhou , will be taken over by the Duke of Lu..."

Lin Fu had never seen the old man Empress Dowager Liang, but since the Sumen case, the figure of this old woman was shaking behind the entire Dayue Dynasty. It wouldn't be a simple role, but I didn't expect that this old woman was completely supportive. When King Lu ascended the throne, he promised to let Gu Xi completely control Jiangning.

Just like many women will not sell their chastity in front of a few hundred yuan, but when the price is raised to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions, women who can be * seduced almost no longer exist.

"This matter is no trivial matter, let me think about it for two days!" Lin Fu said, without giving Chen/Yuanliang and others a chance to speak, he asked Zhou Pu to see off the guests on his behalf. Yang Pu, Zuo Guitang, and Wu Jinzhou didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, they just came to let Lin Fu know the attitude of the people and forces they represent.

"This plan of dividing the spoils, if you change it to someone else, you may not necessarily refuse it!" When Chen/Yuanliang and the others left, Lin Fu let out a long sigh, as if to spit out the helplessness and hopelessness in his heart. .

The so-called "Huaidong" usually refers to the lower reaches of the Huaihe River east of Hongzepu, including Weiyang, Hailing, and Huai'an three prefectures and sixteen counties. In the traditional concept, Weiyang Mansion is the strategic center of Huaidong, and Weiyang is the most developed area in Huaidong. Even without considering the inland waterway transportation in Weiyang and the salt industry of the two Huaihe Rivers, the counties of Weiyang Prefecture are comparable to Pingjiang Prefecture and Danyang Prefecture.

Before Lin Fu governed Huaidong, the combined grain and grain taxes paid by the Hailing and Huai'an houses to the county magistrates were worse than the Weiyang House.

If it hadn't been for the eastern captives occupying Yanji, it is very likely that they would have sent troops to the Hehuai after the Yellow River was frozen in winter. Lin Fu might have been tempted by such conditions - after all, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Huaidong to attack the Huaihe River at this time. The Weiyang Mansion was drawn into the site.

"If you keep breaking it, you will suffer from chaos," Gao Zongting suggested. "Although Qingzhou and the Liang family have tried their best to block the news, they may not be able to block it forever; perhaps Yue Lengqiu and Ning Wangfu have already known the news and are secretly planning great plans. Huaidong can't be hesitant, let alone wasting time in persuading the Gu family..."

Lin Bie clenched his fists hard, and Gao Zongting said it lightly, Dang Duan continued to suffer from it, but how can such a thing be easy to make a decision?

Lin Fu hoped that everyone in Qingzhou would retreat despite the difficulties, but he did not expect that in the face of the temptation of power, everyone in Qingzhou, including Gu Wuchen, would fall too deep. Lin Fu wanted to persuade them to give up their ambitions, but the news would leak to Jiangning at any time - once Yue Lengqiu, Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan and others supported King Ning in Jiangning, and Huaidong made a statement afterward, they would become extremely passive. .

If the Gu family and the Liang family take risks, regardless of Huaidong's opinion, they will directly support King Lu as emperor in Qingzhou, which will directly lead to the split of the Jiangning regime.

But how easy is it to openly and completely break with the Gu family?

It is not easy for the Lin and Gu families to reach today, and the relationship between them is intricate - Gu Wuchen is not only Lin Fu's father-in-law, but in the eyes of the world, he is also a mentor who helped Lin Fu rise. Evaluate Talin Bound?

Moreover, the Dongyang Township Party also regards Gu Wuchen as the leader at this time, and Lin Fu is even more worried that Lin Tingli, Lin Xulu and others will also persuade Gu Wuchen to think - Lin Fu has no time to send someone to Dongyang to test Lin Tingli, Lin Xulu and their sons on the matter of Yongli. Attitude.

If there is a public break with the Gu family over the matter of Yongli, what will Gu Junxun do in Huaidong in the future?

Thinking of this kind of thing, it's really hard for Lin Bie to make a decision.

Gao Zongting didn't seem to see the hesitation on Lin Fu's face, and said to himself: "...the only plan for now, we need to delay the army first. Since it is abolished, it is too stingy to only assign Weiyang Mansion to Huaidong, You can continue negotiating the conditions with them, and hold Chen/Yuanliang and others first. Second, the adults should immediately write a worship form to support King Ning, and the eldest son will secretly carry them into Jiangning, bypassing Master Gu, and looking for Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com informed them about the Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu in Qingzhou, and asked them to immediately support King Ning in Jiangning to enthrone the throne, and first set the name of justice. The navy withdrew from Jinhai ahead of schedule and was transferred to Laizhou, in case the people of Qingzhou took the risk..."

Lin Bie's face jumped, and after fighting with Yue Lengqiu Ming for so long, who would have thought that Huaidong and the Gu family would break apart in the end, but he would take the initiative to find Yue Lengqiu to make peace?

But there is no way. At this time, Huaidong must stand with Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian. If there is any trouble in the Liang family and Qingzhou, there is still the Huaisi defense line to the north, and the situation will not be a mess. If there is uncontrollable chaos in southern Huinan, northern Zhejiang or Jiangxi, the troops and horses of the luxury family will directly swept the hinterland of Jiangnan, and their troops will be under the city of Jiangning.

"Only today's plan seems to be able to be implemented as Zong Ting said," Lin Fu smiled bitterly and instructed Zhou Pu, "You call Wu Qi, don't disturb others, and let Wu Qi personally **** my eldest brother to Jiangning. "

"I will write it right away," Lin Fu, Lin Xuwen, and Gao Zongting said, "After the eldest brother goes to Jiangning, the enthronement of King Li Ning can't be delayed until the sixth day of the eighth lunar month at the latest; I will also transfer the Tianjin navy from Laizhou on the same day. Shore. You have to cooperate with the timing, either early or late. Zong Ting, you go to rest first, and Chen/Yuanliang's side will be handled by you... Xiashan Camp is the same as before, and there should be no changes. So as not to arouse Chen/Yuanliang's vigilance; don't try to test other people's words!"

The people of Qingzhou, Zhang Jinxian, Cheng Weiyuan, Chu Zheng, and others, were closely related to Huaidong. Chu Zheng was also a general from Dongmin, and together with Geng Quanshan and Chen Dingbang, he was also a commander that Lu Jing heavily relied on. This matter has a lot to do with it. Lin Fu didn't want to make any extras. In the end, he came up with a **** situation where the two emperors stood side by side, and he ordered one more thing. My QT room is open!
