Da Wei Chun

Chapter 552
There were no empty seats in Zhaoyang Hall, but it was silent and silent, which was indescribably strange.

The courtiers who served important ministers serving soup and wine, and presenting pens and inks were extremely eye-catching. They tried to walk as lightly as possible, and the interrogation was like the chants of mosquitoes.

Several ministers surnamed Yuan were either frowning, or their faces were sinking like water.You Zhao, who came first, had a red face, probably still reminiscing about the joy of this great victory.

And like Gao Ying, his face was full of anger, and his pretty face was frosty.

If I knew today, why was it in the first place?
Cui Guang couldn't stop gloating, but pretended to be ignorant, and together with Liu Fang greeted Gao Ying.

"Free of charge... Come and see!"

Gao Ying clicked on the imperial case in front of her. On the case was a few pieces of silk covered with small characters.

Taking a quick look at the seal at the end of the letter, Cui Guang knew that two of them were submitted by Li Chengzhi: one should be a good report, and the other should be an ordinary memorial.

The remaining letter was played by Gao Zhao.If you think about it, you can know how annoyed Gao Zhao was when he tried his best and only ended up in vain.Bingzuo this time is naturally full of resentment and complaints.

The two said that they would obey the oracle, took another step forward, and knelt down in front of the case.

And it is known that Li Chengzhi has won a big victory, but whether it is Cui Guang or Liu Fang, they still stare at the victory at first glance.

Since it was played in Li Chengzhi's tone, the whole story was flat and straightforward, without any embellishments or exclamation words, but Cui and Liu who were still watching were excited and their eyes were bright.

"On the twenty-eighth day of the second month, I met Fuluo at Bailitan in the west of Longxi, defeated [-] enemies, beheaded nearly [-] enemies, and captured more than [-] people. The horses were useless..."

"On the first day of March, the minister fetched clean water, and Yuan Ji gave the head..."

"On the third day of March, Cui Zuzhi raised Qin An and descended..."

"On the fifth day of the third lunar month, Siyin was in an emergency, and the minister threw off his tasseled crown and rescued him... Hearing that the minister was about to arrive, Changyizhi suddenly stopped fighting and retreated for [-] miles... The next day, the enemy retreated another two houses, and retreated to Chencang. According to Weishui, stand against me...

At that time, Yuan Li, the traitor general, sent a traitor to play secretly, claiming that he had come to his senses and wanted to get rid of the chaos.The minister believed without doubt, and based on this, at the time of the fourth shift in the eighth day of the lunar new year, he joined forces with Yuan Li and defeated the enemy army...

Changyi's urgency hits his heart, and he collapses halfway... The lieutenant general Pei Sui was captured alive, the rebel general Hou just returned, Yu Zhong and Gongsun Zhi were given the leadership under the city of Wudu, and countless generals were captured and killed...Thirty thousand enemies were killed in this battle. More than [-] prisoners were captured, and the rest of the enemy fled into the Qinling Mountains and disappeared... So far, I have recovered from Guanzhong! "

Seeing this, Cui Guang involuntarily gasped.

If it wasn't for the fact that this victory was already a certainty, and it really couldn't be true, he almost thought it was the enemy's plan to alienate.

From the twenty-eighth day of the second month to when Li Chengzhi broke through and won a complete victory, how could it be only ten days?

At that time, the imperial court knew that Fu Luo led [-] armored cavalry and Changyi led [-] troops to Guanzhong.

How terrified were the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and when the Empress Dowager and His Majesty were so at a loss, Li Chengzhi had already won the victory, and then he was like entering the land of no one, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, winning consecutive battles?
It's only ten days... Don't say that the overall situation is settled, even if Li Chengzhi used his entire army to capture Qingshui, I'm afraid it would make the Queen Mother and His Majesty weep with joy.

It's so unbelievable to think about it...

What's more: What surprised Cui Guang and Liu Fang the most was Li Chengzhi's most understated sentence: Wenchen is coming, Changyizhi suddenly stopped fighting, and retreated for [-] miles... The next day, the enemy retreated another two houses , retreated to Chencang, and stood against me according to the Wei River...

That is Chang Yizhi, who holds hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers in his hands, like a flood and a beast, which makes the empress dowager and the civil and military officials of the court change color, thinking that a catastrophe is imminent?

Why did Chang Yizhi think that misfortune came from the sky and avoided him like a snake when he just heard that Li Chengzhi was holding the source, and people didn't know where he was?
From this point of view, it was Chang Yizhi who treated Li Chengzhi as a poisonous snake and beast, lest he avoid it.

How did Li Chengzhi do it?
The two were startled and suspicious, but at this time the rest of the assistants were worried and heartbroken because of the report.Therefore, no matter how surprised Cui Guang and Liu Fang were, it was difficult to ask them.

It was all because King Zhongshan and others did not expect it, thinking that Li Chengzhi would be defeated, so they were self-defeating.Therefore, the more we delve into why Li Chengzhi won so quickly, the more embarrassing it is for these three people.

Liu Fang winked anxiously, and stopped Cui Guang, who was eager to try: even if he wanted to add insult to injury, he shouldn't be so open-minded, otherwise he would offend people to death...

How unwilling is Cui Guang, why is he unwilling?
If the Empress Dowager hadn't been here, he would have held his gun in his arms and held his stick in his arms, and had a good meal of cynicism: "Short-sighted, sweet-mouthed and sword-like, how can there be a king of Zhongshan, King Rencheng, and King Guangyang?"
Forget it, when Li Chengzhi's class teacher returns to the court, it will not be too late to worry about it.

He took a deep breath and looked down again:

"Although the external enemies are settled, the internal strife has not been settled. The rebels in the two towns of Bugulu and Gaoping are obsessed with their obsessions, and they will never stop their evil. Therefore, it is too early to say that it is too early to suspend the army at this time.

And the rebellion chief Yuan Huaiyuan Shangrouran, its meaning is obvious.The ancients said: A dike of a thousand feet will be destroyed by an ant's nest; a room of a hundred feet will be burned by smoke from a gap... Therefore, I think: It is better to eliminate evil and do everything to avoid future troubles...

However, it was suddenly heard that Yuan Hui, the leader of the army, had arrived in Guanzhong with a secret decree.Sikong Gao Zhaomi led the army, and the soldiers approached Tongguan... The minister was shocked when he heard the bad news, and was puzzled:
The minister is deeply favored by the emperor, given orders in the face of danger, and has few accidents. He has little talent and wisdom, and is deeply afraid of disappointing the expectations of the Queen Mother and His Majesty.

But the minister turned his back on introspection, knowing that young and vigorous, there are many features of meng lang.But after learning from the pain, he thought that although the details were not limited, the righteousness was not lost.The heart of serving the country with fists and fists can show the sun and the moon...

The old minister has the courage to ask the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the princes of Gungun: The minister is dedicated to the day, pours out his courage, and serves the country with his heart.And why do you think that ambition is an act of enmity, that the enemy is quick, and the relatives are painful? "

Seeing this, Cui Guang's hand trembled suddenly, and the injustice and anger in his heart were swept away, leaving only fear and uneasiness in an instant.

Li Chengzhi... dare to ask, dare to say?
This is clearly questioning the Queen Mother, Yuan Ying and others: Are you trying to force me, Li Chengzhi, to rebel?

It's really relieved, but it's too... a little too rampant, without leaving a trace of leeway, and asking out in a grandiose manner?
If it wasn't for Wei Zijian's return to Beijing, Cui Guang would almost have thought that after Li Chengzhi's various arrangements, after these words of condemnation, it must be Li Chengzhi's call for soldiers to serve the king.

Surprised in his heart, Cui Guangwei looked sideways and saw Liu Fang's ashen-colored face full of surprise, obviously he thought so.

He sneered, and then looked at Yuan Ying and the others: If it weren't for the old man, how could you be as stable as Mount Tai?
I'm afraid he was as frightened as Liu Fang, and he was already in a state of restlessness.

deserve it...

Cursing secretly, Cui Guang looked down again:

"As a minister, you should fulfill your duties as a minister. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven. The minister was panicked for a while, and couldn't sleep or eat. I wanted to stop the army here, and bound my father and son to the capital to plead guilty.

However, recalling the great kindness of the late emperor, the ministers have nothing to repay, and now that the rebellion is not over, we can only wipe out all the rebels to comfort the late emperor's spirit in heaven.Therefore, I have no choice but to risk the displeasure of the world in order to satisfy my selfish desires... When the great enmity is avenged, I will bind my hands and bear the thorn, and I will die to apologize..."

Later, in order to prevent the leak of the news that Gao Zhao led his troops into the customs, which caused chaos in the army, he had to dismiss the state soldiers on the spot, and then divided the Chinese army into three and divided them into various places, etc.

Cui Guang's heart burned when he saw it, and Liu Fang couldn't help but sigh.The general thoughts of the two are the same: as the saying goes, "loyalty to the liver, righteousness and courage, green blood and loyalty, is that all?"
Just for the sake of the overall situation, Li Chengzhi made many arrangements.It's a pity that he would rather bend than bend, and he didn't know Yun Tao's hidden pearls. This time, he questioned every word to punish his heart, like destroying a crown and tearing clothes, which made the three kings of Fuzhong disgraced and lost all their majesty.

When this letter is made public in the government and the public, the Three Kings will become the laughing stock of the world.Just ask, how can we not make him hold a grudge?
That's all for Yuan Jia, and Li Chengzhi still has the meaning of in-laws. If they mediate one or two, it might be impossible to clear up the previous suspicions.But the other two are afraid that they will swear against Li Chengzhi...

Sure enough, after seeing the two of them read it, Yuan Ying couldn't wait, as if the final word was finalized:
"Li Chengzhi is arrogant, arrogant and ignorant. If he reports three times a day, regardless of the size of the matter, how can he make us think that Guanzhong is already in dire straits and is in danger, and then make us self-defeating, and even make him think that it is a bright pearl and a dark sword. Is there such an unforeseen gap?"

Haha... As the saying goes, put blame on others and bite back, but that's it!

Cui Guang stared, and asked leisurely: "According to the words of King Zhongshan, Li Chengzhi is not only useless, but also guilty?"

Yuan Ying choked violently.

Ping Woye, capture Dou Ling, overthrow Du Lun, defeat a powerful enemy, and fix Guanzhong... Turning the tide and helping the building topple, it is not an exaggeration to praise Li Chengzhi's contribution to the sky.

So how can he be obliterated with a single word?

He forced himself to hold back his anger, and replied in a cold voice: "As a minister, how can you be so smug, listening to the wind and rain, and pointing directly at the Queen Mother and Your Majesty in a reckless manner?

This is a capital crime, so even if you have built an extraordinary feat, you must not confuse it..."

"If you made such a big fuss out of a molehill, Li Chengzhi would have died a hundred times already!"

Cui Guang sneered and said, "I remember when the late emperor, Li Chengzhi sometimes called the late emperor by his name, and it can be seen that the late emperor punished him once? As he said, as long as the righteousness is not lost, why bother to stick to the small details? Why did King Zhongshan make such a big fuss about it?

As the saying goes, the sky net is restored, and the negligence is not missed, and this matter will eventually be revealed to the world.If Li Chengzhi's crime is really punished according to this, wouldn't it be ridiculous, making the world think that the Queen Mother and His Majesty have small stomachs and no tolerance? "

In the world...

It only makes the world laugh...

If Cui Guang didn't know anything, why did he say these words?
Yuanying raised her eyebrows fiercely, and gritted her teeth: "I thought it was some thief who leaked the secret, so it was you, Cui Xiaobo?"

"So what? If it wasn't for me, Cui Xiaobo, Yuan Hui would have gone to Qizhou to proclaim the decree, and Gao Zhao had already led the army through Tongguan. And the [-] troops in Yuguan won a big victory. If you say so without faith, with little kindness and no righteousness, you may be able to mutiny immediately.

Therefore, the king of Zhongshan didn't thank me, but he regarded me as an enemy. What kind of reason is this? "

"Well, you Cui Xiaobo, you are dying, and you still have plausible words?"

"Dare to ask the king of Zhongshan, how do you punish me with death? Is it Cui who communicated with foreign countries and leaked secrets to the enemy? Or is it that I, Cui, falsely preached the imperial decree and plotted against the law? As for leaking the secret, it is pure nonsense..."

Cui Guang was not afraid at all, calm and composed, "The last words of the late emperor: If the Empress Dowager is unable to decide on a major matter, such as foreign soldiers, she must call all her assistants to discuss it, and it can only be done after five years of seconding the proposal...

Dare to ask Your Highness, when discussing with us, it was clear that Gao Sikong was dispatched to lead an army to Beizhen, so we seconded the discussion.But why is the army rushing to Guanzhong now? Is it because someone falsely preached a coercive edict, or is someone trying to plot something wrong? "

The big hats were buttoned down, Yuanying's face was black and blue, and smoke was coming out of her seven orifices.

Even Liu Fang couldn't help worrying: Yuanying was already terminally ill, and the illness would not be long, if Cui Guangqi killed her, it would be a great joy.

Seeing that they were about to fight, Gao Ying angrily reprimanded: "Enough is enough..."

Cui Guang accepted it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly took a step back, bowed his hands and said: "I am so angry that I can't calm down for a while, and I have committed many rude actions. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

Yuan Ying knew she was wrong, even her chest would explode with anger, but she was irrefutable.

He clutched his chest and bowed slightly: "The minister is guilty!"

In the past, Gao Ying would have comforted Yuan Ying in a warm voice, but now he had a gloomy face, as if he didn't even want to look at Yuan Ying.

In fact, she realized it later, and when she thought about it now, she felt that she had been tricked by Yuan Ying, Yuan Jia, and Yuan Cheng.

These three people were worried that Li Chengzhi was young and energetic, and he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, so it was true that he suffered a crushing defeat.But I am afraid that Li Chengzhi will win again and again, and if he becomes powerful, he will threaten the power and interests of the three of them, and his selfishness is even worse.

Conversely, if Li Chengzhi becomes powerful, who will benefit the most?

If you talk about public affairs, everyone in the world knows that Li Chengzhi's heart for the late emperor is as clear as the sun and the moon, and even if he is so heartbroken, he will definitely protect her mother and son.

If it's about selfishness... Gao Ying's heart burns when he thinks of the personal relationship between the two of them.I am even more convinced: Li Chengzhi will not harm anyone if he harms her...

With little knowledge, Gao Ying finally reacted at this time: these three old thieves were clearly afraid that Li Chengzhi would rise up, which made him, the queen mother and young emperor, more powerful and more dependent on Li Chengzhi.

As one goes up and down, the power of Yuanying and others naturally goes from bad to worse...

Gao Ying's intestines are full of remorse, and she is even more surprised: what is the intention of uncle Gao Zhao, this time he is colluding with Yuan Ying and the other three?
Involuntarily, Gao Ying remembered what Li Chengzhi (Gao Ying's younger brother) said to her shortly after Li Chengzhi left Beijing after getting drunk late at night: Uncle seems to have a heart of disobedience!

Whenever he thinks about it, Gao Ying shudders, but there is no one to ask for advice.

And thinking about it at this moment, is it not the uncle who is planning to use his tricks and push the boat along the way, in order to force Li Chengzhi?
But all the ministers agreed that Li Chengzhi could solve the impeccable death situation with a raise of his hand. If he did the opposite...

With a sudden shock, Gao Ying tried to calm down and said, "It's not just about asking the crime, it's not about the moment, but about how to make up for it, so that the victorious master and the court will not be alienated... Do you have a good plan?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent again.
