Da Wei Chun

Chapter 571 Knowing this earlier, why bother

In fact, Gao Zhao is not very clear about whether Li Chengzhi has any soldiers, what is the relationship between the Hexi Remains and him, and whether the Remains have been eliminated by Rou Ranyu during the march.

If you think about it, you can know: it has been less than a year since the birth of the Yibu, and the West Sea where it lives is thousands of miles away.What's more, now that Rouran is aggressively invading the border, not only the road to the west has been cut off, Gao Zhao also has no spare time to send his henchmen to the West Sea to investigate.

Even if the thunder that day was really made of kerosene, Gao Zhao was not sure.

Not long after Li Chengzhi dedicated the secret recipe to the imperial court, a letter of the secret recipe was sent to Gao Zhao without changing the word.Gao Meng has also tried it, and the power is unparalleled, like a punishment from heaven.

Gao Zhao is just judging others by himself. Based on his understanding of Li Chengzhi, he is [-]% sure that Li Chengzhi will never give others a handle and let others slaughter him.

He guessed that either the secret recipe was fake, or there was something more powerful in Li Chengzhi's hands.

What's more, there is also the mysterious and mysterious, mysterious and unpredictable ability of prophets...

It was precisely because of uncertainty that Gao Zhaocai was afraid: just like Yu Zhong and Yuan Li, they were so powerful, but they died at the hands of Li Chengzhi in the end.

Therefore, if Li Chengzhi cannot be used for his own use, he can only be put to death to avoid future troubles.

Otherwise, just be his Sikong honestly, and when Yuanjia returns to the west, he can be an extremely human minister...

This is just one, and the second is: the time has not come.

The ancients said that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it;

Gao Zhao never wanted to be the rafter that grew out of the beam, and he didn't want to be the first traitor who was accused by thousands of people and attacked by the crowd.

So, now you only need to hide your strength and bide your time, sit and watch the undercurrent surge, and it will not be too late to plot slowly when the mountains and rivers change color...

But these are not good for Gao Meng to explain in detail.Because of the ever-changing situation, Gao Zhao himself just took it for granted.Furthermore, Gao Meng is in the Northland, the news is not smooth, I am afraid that if I tell him too early, if there is a sudden change, he will make a wrong judgment.

For such a big event, one inadvertent move would mean the whole game would be lost.So it's better to do nothing than to make mistakes...

Gao Zhao pondered for a long time, then patted Gao Meng's shoulder and said with all his heart: "Those who achieve great things can't bear what ordinary people can't bear, and endure what ordinary people can't bear. The situation is changing..."

good opportunity?

Gao Meng's eyes lit up suddenly, and a flush appeared on his face: "Uncle, when?"

Gao Zhao hesitated for a while, but finally did not dare to reveal it prematurely: "The secret must not be revealed, you just need to abide by your duty and guard Xiazhou well. When the time comes, I will let you know..."

Gao Meng is also very human. The reason why he can't wait is because he doesn't know enough about the current situation and the general trend, but his talent and heart are definitely first-class.

From Gao Zhao's sentence, he deduced a lot of information: Why did he tell himself to guard Xiazhou?

Could it be that the Six Towns are going to be in chaos?

Surprised in his heart, seeing Gao Zhao grinding the grinder by himself, Gao Meng got up quickly and helped Gao Zhao lay out the letter paper.

Feeling that the tent was too dark, Gao Zhao called in his cronies and added a few more oil lamps.

With this interruption, Gao Meng didn't dare to ask even if there was suspicion in his heart...

……

This year's weather was extremely cold, and the chestnut rice outside the imperial city was not harvested, and the first snow came first.

It rained with snow particles for two full days, and it wasn't until most of the water accumulated in the grain field that it finally cleared up.

Don't even think about cutting, farmers can only step on the knee-deep mud soup and pull it out by hand.

The farmers outside the city who were scrambling to harvest the chestnut rice were in full swing, and the soldiers celebrating in the city were also beating gongs and drums to shake the sky.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems that you like yours and I do mine. The two are clearly distinct and incompatible.

Taichang officials who greeted the victory in the city looked at it for a long time, and were puzzled: "Such a big victory should be celebrated by the whole world, but why are these foolish people turning a deaf ear and doing their own thing?"

The city gate Sima's eyes showed sarcasm, and he almost laughed out loud.

Don't eat the fireworks of the world, don't know the hunger and suffering of the people, are you talking about this kind of officials?

"Food is the most important thing for the people. The farmer only knows that if the chestnuts are rotten in the field, the whole family will starve, even people may starve to death. Therefore, let alone a big victory, even if the imperial city is on fire, he can only Will take his fields..."

The official gave Sima a sideways look, as if he blamed him for being unrestrained, even daring to say something like "the imperial city is on fire".

After a short pause, the official asked again: "But why did Guanzhong win a big victory last time, but Beijing was empty with thousands of people running around and cheering?"

The Sima of the city gate laughed loudly: "Liu Sanyuan (official name), may it be that he forgot the last big victory, and all the people of Beijing were rewarded. But this time, it's just that the imperial edict is too often given to the people on the day of the kitchen meeting." fun?"

The official's face turned red involuntarily.

He is obsessed with rites and music every day, but who knows whether the imperial court rewards the people?
After being ridiculed by the Sima of the city gate, Liu Sanyuan realized later: not to mention the people of the Li people, they are the officials. For this big victory in Beizhen, they are quite calm and take it calmly, as if they were born to win. .

It is true that the great victory in Guanzhong was unimaginable, it was too inspiring, and consumed the enthusiasm of most people.It's like eating a meal of delicacies from mountains and seas, and then eating meat after a while, it will be a bit dull.

It's a pity for Li Guogong.

Touching the scene, Liu Sanyuan couldn't help but think of Li Chengzhi.He stared west and looked around.

I saw the shadows of the trees whirling, and countless yellow leaves dancing with the wind.Faintly, one can see that there are many graves and mounds, and the grass and trees are withered and yellow.

A lonely mansion is located in the hills and fields, it seems to have been forgotten by the world, and it is quite interesting and desolate.

Only Li Guogong has such a mind, who can still be flattered and humiliated after being subjected to such a huge injustice, and enjoy himself, right?

With emotion in his heart, Liu Sanyuan silently recited a poem recently written by Li Chengzhi, and the more he read it, the more he felt that the artistic conception was extraordinary:

The young man is quite good at Taoism, and he returned to Mangshan border with honor.

When Xinglai goes alone, he knows nothing about victory.

Go to the water poverty and sit and watch the clouds rise.

Occasionally, Lin old man, talking and laughing without repayment.

……

Li Chengzhi, who was admired by Liu San, is now leaning on a recliner, holding a fishing rod, and swinging leisurely.

The fishing pond is very large, with a radius of nearly ten feet, occupying nearly half of the front yard.There are a few groups of withered yellow cattail leaves floating in the pond, and from time to time, you will see frogs jumping out of the pond and jumping on the cattail leaves, scaring away a cloud of mosquitoes and flies.

Last year, it was still an ice-making place.In the spring of this year, it was changed into a fishing pond by Guo Yuzhi.

There are many willow trees transplanted on the bank, but it is only the first year, and the branches and leaves have not diverged. Now the willow leaves have fallen, and they look bare.

After returning to Beijing, Li Chengzhi took the time to visit the Taifu and spent a lot of money to buy the ruined Xuanyin Temple.Then all the tofu, refined salt, frosting sugar and other workshops were moved there, so the house is extremely quiet today.

Li Chengzhi seems to be really isolated from the world, extraordinary and refined...

Seeing Yu Piao's slight movement, Li Chengzhi was overjoyed and sat up quickly.Just wait for another move, and the rod will be lifted suddenly.

Just when he was in high spirits and guessed that there must be a big fish taking the bait, he suddenly heard a "papa", as if something fell near the hook, splashing a few splashes of water.

When the lever is lifted, the hook is empty.Looking into the pool again, there is a bitten flower cake floating in the water.After soaking in water, the flower cake shattered faster, attracting countless fish to fight for it.

Making such a big nest, still fishing?
Li Chengzhi couldn't laugh or cry: "Shang Shugong, if you can't sit for a long time, you might as well go to Lelou to listen to the music. If you still feel bored, it's also good to ask a few young ladies to beat their shoulders and legs. Why bother to embarrass the younger generation?"

Cui Guang twisted a grape and threw it into his mouth, he said again: "Others tried their best to invite this old man, but they couldn't get it, but you don't know what to do, and this old man refused to invite me several times.

As a last resort, the old man had no choice but to come uninvited.It's good to be here, but I want the old man, Shang Shucheng and You Shizhong, to accompany you to fish by this broken pond? "

Li Chengzhi was so helpless: "I invite you to a banquet. You are too strong to drink. Please taste poems and talk about the scriptures. You say that you are tired of doing these things every day? Please teach me how to treat guests? "

"puff!"

Cui Guang spat the grape seeds into the fishing pond, took a sip of green tea, and then replied unhurriedly:

"It's just to see that you are really calm and calm, not surprised by favor or humiliation, or pretending to be a posture. But after half a day, the old man can see that you are really elegant, but because of this, the old man is puzzled."

Li Chengzhi asked back: "Why can't I be calm?"

Cui Guang glanced at him sideways, as if to say: Pretend, you continue to pretend!
He stared at Li Chengzhi with great interest: "Don't you know that Gao Sikong is going to Beijing soon?"

Li Chengzhi sighed.

The gongs and drums in the city were beating like thunder, how could he not know?

This step is indeed wrong.

He originally thought that Gao Zhao would take this opportunity to fight Rouran in Beizhen, so as to consume the central army directly under the imperial court.

Then Li Daitao froze, fished in troubled waters, and secretly colluded with those military leaders and powerful men in Beizhen who were already ready to move.Taking Beizhen and Xiazhou as bridgeheads, they plan to plot Guanzhong.

I don't know the rest, but according to Yuan Li, among the six towns, the military town secretly attached to Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong is definitely more than one Woye.

Now that Yuan Huai has been defeated and trapped in Rouran, Yu Zhong has already taken the lead, and these army leaders are even more panicked.Gao Zhao only needs to show his thoughts a little, and he will definitely flock to him.

At this point, no matter whether it is Gao Zhao who rises up or hides in secret, he will find countless reasons to stay in Beizhen.I tried my best to digest the power of secretly submitting.

But who would have expected it to be unexpected, this battle Gao Zhao fought extremely carefully, it can be said that he was cautious and careful, step by step.Even if Rouran reveals a huge flaw, she will never rush forward.

What Li Chengzhi didn't expect was that as soon as Rou Ran retreated, Gao Zhao felt like his butt was on fire, please return to Beijing.

One wrong step, one wrong step.As a result, he couldn't guess Gao Zhao's intention for a while.

But if he guessed wrong and Gao Zhao has no objection, that is absolutely impossible.

Regardless of the rest, Gao Zhao's secret letter persuading him to plot great things is still lying quietly in the box.

Besides, Gao Meng died tens of thousands of lives in vain, where did the oil sand dug out go?

Could it be that he was going to hide and light a lamp?

Li Chengzhi shook his fishing rod, and said nonchalantly: "I'll come back when I come back, even if I want to meet him backwards, I have to wait for him to return to Beijing. You can't let me go thousands of miles to welcome him?"

"During the time of the first emperor, how close was your friendship? You were more like a son-in-law with him, how familiar with his nature? I don't believe it. You don't know why Gao Zhao was in such a panic. He didn't return to the capital with the army, but Do you want to learn from you and return to Beijing alone?"

"Could it be that he came here specially for me? Shang Shugong underestimated Gao Sikong and Li Chengzhi too much."

Li Chengzhi smiled but turned his eyes, "Take another step back, and Gao Sikong wants to seek revenge on me for framing me. Could it be that you can just sit back and ignore it? Otherwise, why did Shang Shugong go all the way to this?"

Cui Guang choked on a mouthful of phlegm, almost coughing up his lungs.

Li Chengzhi helped him relax his back for a long time before he eased up a bit.Cui Guang opened his mouth and scolded: "What a traitor, why do you dare to stay out of the matter even if you see things so well? Don't you be afraid to wait for him to return to the court and put you to death?"

Seeing his blushing face, Li Chengzhi sighed: "Shang Shugong, do you think you are tired?"

Cui Guang was stunned for a moment, his face darkened a bit: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit... Being an official is like this, and so is the general trend. If you are trapped in the dice for a day, you have to be involuntary, what can you do? Time is also fate..."

Shit!

Why is the general trend like this? It is clear that they want to strike a balance.I even think that all politicians have no absolute enemies and only look at interests.

Seeing that he was gaining power, he was afraid that he would be unstoppable and would help Gao Yingzhi, and Li Chong would be second.Yuan Ying and the others teamed up with Gao Zhao to hold back their rising momentum.

Looking at Gao Zhao's return with victory now, and the government and the public praised him, these people are belatedly aware of the past, recalling the past of the late emperor.He wanted to help himself up again and fight Gao Zhao.

If you talk about guessing people's hearts, if Gao Zhaoruo admits to being second, who in the world dares to be number one?

Like Yuan Ying and Yuan Cheng, they think they are unparalleled in intelligence and resourcefulness.But if you compare Mei Mei to meet up and down, and drill the camp vertically and horizontally, the other seven assistants combined will not be Gao Zhao's opponent.

Otherwise, how could it be that during the time of the first emperor, all the members of the Yuan family's clan and aristocratic families hated Gao Zhao deeply nine out of ten times, but they couldn't do anything about it?
Otherwise, why would someone who was good at fighting, accomplished as great as Li Chong, and favored by the late emperor as Wang Yuanchen of Hejian, willingly become a member of the Gao Clan?

That's why.

Compared with the time of the first emperor, the relationship between Gao Zhao and Gao Ying was much closer.And it happened that Gao Ying lacked in morality and deeds, had high eyes but low hands, but was suspicious.When Gao Zhao came back with a victory, and when he was in court again, he might feel like a fish in water.

It's not that these old foxes didn't expect this, and all the arrangements are interlocking.It's just that the trick of making Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhao turn against each other can be called a stroke of genius.

It's not without reason.Therefore, most of the court believed in the personal relationship between Li Chengzhi and the Queen Mother.Just based on this, Li Chengzhi and Gao Zhao can fight evenly.

But after all the calculations, it just didn't count that there is such an alternative as Li Chengzhi: for a gamble, he is willing to give up even the duke's title and the iron contract to avoid death?

It’s almost April, and Cui Guang still remembers the worrying new: On the day he returned to Beijing, Li Chengzhi pointed at Lu Hemen after leaving the palace and laughed wildly: I’m quitting...

At that time, I didn't know what to say, and I didn't know what Li Chengzhi meant by this move, but after seeing Li Chengzhi's actions in the past few months, everyone slowly recalled: Li Chengzhi at that time had already expected today. Bureau.

Otherwise, why would they say the oath of "I will never lead another soldier in my lifetime"?

This is obviously waiting to see a joke...

Seeing Cui Guang's angry face, as if he hated him for not fighting, Li Chengzhi wanted to ridicule a few words, but when the words got to the bottom of his tongue, he sighed suddenly.

I knew this, why should I be at the beginning?
