Chapter 143 Conspiracy
In the eyes of many people, he is a gentle and knowledgeable person, and he is kind to people, regardless of small profits, and an honest official. It is simply a model for contemporary officials.
These advantages can be seen from the ability to quickly gain a foothold in Yizhou, but it would be a big mistake to regard him as a kind-hearted and unambit ambitious person.
Chou Zong, a model official, rebelled under the pressure of Hou Hui and Yangmei. It can be said that he had no choice but to kill Mao Yu, but in a few days, Hou Hui and Yang Mei also evaporated from the world. This has to be thought-provoking.
It is said that Hou Hui and Yang Mei threw him into the water in order to force him to rebel, but this king was loyal and patriotic and vowed not to obey. After they fished him out of the water and threatened him with the safety of the people of Yizhou, Lord Gao had to agree to rebel with them for the sake of the people...
There are many versions of all kinds of indulgences that are forced to rebel from thieves, but Hou Hui and Yangmei have evaporated from the world, and it is impossible to verify.
After being known as the Queen of Chengdu, she immediately announced that she would exempt the people from all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, severely punished corrupt officials, and showed no mercy to those landlords and local tyrants. For a while, the central region of Shu became one of the new.
There are many officials in Yizhou, but those who are really in power are his family. So when someone mentioned the helplessness of indulgence, Lu Qiang sneered. Are they really fools on that day?
If everything can go on according to his imagination, his king of Chengdu will definitely sit down for a long time.
So at first, he was in a good mood. Isn't the feeling of power, life and death, exactly what he has always wanted?
But this mood was soon broken by a letter, which was not the one Lu Qiang wrote to him, but Huan Xuan wanted to unite his letter.
He tore the letter to pieces without even reading it. Of course, he knew what was written in the letter, and he didn't want to unite all the forces that could be united against the court. But the problem is that it is not the court that Huan Xuan wants to fight against, but Lu Qiang.
Who is Lu Qiang?
That's a hegemony in charge of half of the imperial court. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, as strong as two Liu, who have to retreat from him. Huan Xuan can't afford to provoke others, just want to drag me into the water? Are you still human?
Sure enough, before he could reply to Huan Xuan, Jiangling began to move. The land army was frequently mobilized, and the water surface was blocked by the Jingzhou navy.
Hearing this news, he drew a clear line with Huan Xuan. He was thinking that if Wan Yilong sent troops to fight, Huan Xuan might be able to send troops to pull Lu Qiang's hind legs or something.
Although Qiong occupied Yizhou, the whole Yizhou is too big, many places have not been fully attached, and there are only more than 30,000 troops assembled in the east and west. He knows very well that if it hadn't occupied the right place, he could not stop the strong army at all.
At this time, Lu Qiang's letter also arrived. Seeing this letter, he was really embarrassed. Lu Qiang's meaning was so obvious that people could see through it at a glance, but what could he see through it? Strength is not as good as people, and it is useless to say anything.
To be honest, Qiaozong despised Huan Xuan from the bottom of his heart. If it hadn't been for the strong road in Jingzhou, he would have raised his army to eliminate this waste sooner or later.
In the backyard of the royal palace in Chengdu, there is a separate cross-hospital, which is very secretive. Usually, except for self-indulgence, others are not allowed to enter at all, and even the servants are designated.
I don't know who is locked here. In fact, it was so mysterious that it was completely at the request of this person. He told him that it was not convenient for him to appear, and at the same time, he could not let others know his whereabouts.
This nagging person is naturally Tiansong, but at this time, he is no longer dressed as a Taoist priest, but a literati, and his name has been changed. His name is Lu Song now.
Tiansong was introduced to the indulgence as a hermit. The reason why he gave indulgence was that he had to hide his deeds because he offended Lu Qiang.
It doesn't matter to him who he offends. What matters is that Tiansong can give him advice. The plan to rebel with the hands of Hou Hui and Yang Mei was from Tiansong.
In this way, the two conspirators get along with each other. Whenever something big happens, they will come to consult the Lu hermit.
Now that such a big thing has happened, of course, the first thing that comes to mind is Lu Hermit.
Tiansong did not come out to cheat with his Taoist status this time, which is also a lesson learned from the previous times. Of course, the things in the teaching can't be left behind, but now they are all done by his apprentices, and he is just controlled behind the scenes.
After listening to the intention of the indulgence, Tiansong couldn't help but be silent. He knew that Lu Qiang would attack Shuzhong sooner or later, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon?
Is this strong way born to restrain himself?
"Do you have a clever plan?"
Qion is very anxious. Since he received Lu Qiang's letter, he has unconsciously had several big blisters in his mouth. As soon as he tasted the taste of being a prince, he didn't want to give up like this.
As Lu Qiang thought, Tiansong's power is in the south of the Yangtze River. It is impossible for him to develop in the north. Once Shuzhong is captured by Lu again, he really has no way to go, so he is no less worried than to indulge.
After ponder for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, if there is another solution to this situation, I don't know if the prince will refuse to do it?"
"Oh, my Mr. Lu, when is it that you still play riddles with me? Although that's it, as long as I can't let Lu Qiang advance, I will use any method."
Tian Song stared at the dragon and said slowly: "I will submit to the State of Qin and ask the State of Qin to send troops"
After listening to Tiansong's idea, he was stunned.
Qizong knew very well that no matter how he made trouble, it was all internal affairs of the Han people, but Yao Xing, the monarch of the State of Qin, was a Qiang nationality. He surrendered to him. What did the people think of him? What do people in the world think of themselves? After his death, can't he be scolded behind the traitor's name and stink for ten thousand years?
Tian Song understood what he was worried about and said in a low voice, "This is just a stopgap measure. Although the soldiers and horses of the State of Qin are strong, it is not necessarily easy to attack Shu. In addition, they have to cross the strong barrier first. As long as they provoke the war between the two sides, can't the prince take the opportunity to rest?"
Of course, I understand what Tiansong said, but this kind of thing is one thing to understand, but it is another to do. He is a scholar and knows what those aliens have done to the Han people when they go south. If he chooses to surrender to the State of Qin, it also indicates that he will lose the heart of the world's scholars from now on, which is greatly detrimental to his future rule.
But if this strategy is not done, once the strong army enters Shu, won't his prince do it?
For a moment, I was hesitant and didn't know how to choose.
Tian Song saw the hesitation of Xiaozong and couldn't help sneering in his heart, "another person who is a bitch and wants to set up a archway" and said without losing the opportunity: "This can be done more secretly. We can tell Yao Xing that only after defeating Lu Qiang can we surrender to him."
In the practical interests and reputation behind him, he finally chose the current wealth and glory. He nodded and said, "That's the only way. I secretly sent someone to see Lord Qin first, asked him to send troops to delay Lu Qiang, and then asked Huan Xuan to rise up from Liangzhou..."
Tiansong smiled and interrupted, "At this time, the prince can still write a letter to Lu Qiang, indicating that he wants to draw a clear line with Huan Xuan, so as to confuse the children on the road. I believe that as long as Yao Xing dispatches troops and Huan Xuan adds a little more chaos, he will not be in the mood to take care of us. Maybe the prince can still go to Shu and share in Jingzhou, haha !"
Chuzong reluctantly smiled and went to Luqiang's territory to grab food? I haven't reached that level. As long as Lu Qiang doesn't come in and let himself sit on the king of Shu, I will be satisfied.
Just when he was plotting to deal with Lu Qiang, Wang Dan, under the protection of more than a dozen relatives, went outside the stockade of the barbarian king Mot.
Wang Dan once served as an official in Ningzhou and knew the environment of Ningzhou and the situation of the barbarians in the mountains, which is why he dared to meet the barbarian king.
Mot is tall and powerful, taller than Lu Qiang. He is in his forties, with long hair and a shawl. He has a huge golden ring around his neck. He looks ferocious, and his eyes twinkle fiercely, as if he wants to choose a person at all times.
I stared at it for a long time, but I didn't understand what was written on the big red print under the imperial edict.
In fact, as the head of the family, he recognized a few Chinese characters, but only a few. The content of the imperial edict was read to him by Wang Dan.
Although Motuo is rough-looking, his heart is not thick at all. He knows that there are many barbarian kings in Shu who can sit on an equal footing with him. So why did this Jing and Jiang assassins find him alone? In addition, he also has doubts about the authenticity of this edict.
What is the emperor's seal? It only stays in the legend. He has never seen it at all, and how can an assassin take out the emperor's edict?
However, Mot is indeed very moved by the appointment on the edict. In the mountains of Shu, there are no less than dozens of tribes like him. When they meet, they can only be called brothers except for fighting.
But if you can be appointed by the emperor and become the king of all barbarians, it will be great. I'm afraid there are millions of single people?
With his eyes flashing, he casually threw the edict on the wooden pier in front of him and smiled, "Lord Wang, right? Ha ha! Lord Wang didn't come at the right time! Yesterday, Qizong also sent someone to officially appoint me as the barbarian king, but this is a little difficult. Who do you think I should trust?
I don't recognize a few Mot's Chinese characters, but I speak Chinese very well.
Caizong did send people to find these mountain kings, but he only sent a lot of property and no appointments. It's not that he doesn't know how powerful it is, but that there are too many mountain kings in Shu that he can't afford to seal it.
As the most powerful one among them, Mort has given a lot of gifts. In thought, these barbarians like gold and silver. As long as they don't make trouble, it is not a problem to give them some benefits.
From this alone, we can see the problem of people's vision, and it also shows the status of orthodoxy in the current people's hearts. If he was the emperor, I'm afraid he wouldn't just send gold and silver.
Wang Dan smiled and said, "The king is well aware of the culture of the Central Plains. Should he know the words of Wang Tu under the world? Who is the man? It's just a thief. When my lord's heavenly soldiers arrive, it is necessary for him to die. At that time, what's the use of his appointment? Does the king want to be scolded as a traitor like him?
Moto listened to Wang Dan's words and his eyes suddenly stared. This Han man is really bold. How dare he talk to himself like this?
Wang Dan sat there without changing his face and heart beating under the fierce stare of Moto. The reason why he chose Moto was that although he had a fierce reputation, he was not reckless and was kind to the Han people.
Such a smart barbarian will definitely understand the key.
