Chapter 514 Kill the Emperor and Steal the Queen
After Chu Pingsheng did this, half of the plan of Wang and his son went bankrupt. No matter how stupid Shuanglong was, he was wary. He did not stay in Wang Shichong's house for a long time and died the next day. Take the first step and go to Jiangdu to wait.
Chu Pingsheng didn’t want to go with him, but he expected to receive a letter from Chai Shen the next day and take him to Jiangdu. Because Yu Wenhuaji had spoken so well in front of the emperor, the emperor was in front of the courtiers in Jiangdu. He praised him for not fearing the powerful, upright, loyal and courageous, and dared to expose the evil deeds of the Song clan in Lingnan. He angrily rebuked Li Yuan for being a role model for the younger generation, and immediately summoned him to Jiangdu to receive the title.
Yu Wenhuaji messed up his job, added fuel and jealousy to the Song Dynasty, and made Li Yuan angry. He had to say a few good words about him, so that he could round the circle, and sold the Chai family's favor, which is normal. .
Considering that it is less than half a year before Yu Wenhuaji launches the rebellion, it is not good for Chai Shen to stay in Jiang. Although this old guy is only his father in name, he can give him a hand and help him. Gotta pull it.
Thinking of this, he could only temporarily put aside his plan to practice the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique in seclusion, and took two followers eastward along the river to Jiangdu to meet the saint.
How did I know that when I was traveling to Huainan, I heard a sudden news when I was resting in Zhongli County. Dugu Feng, the leader of the Dugu Clan, read a book by Li Yuan at the court meeting, saying that he harbored evil intentions and had been with DTZ for a long time. The parties flirted and flirted with each other, intending to rebel, and for this purpose they presented an account book of Li Yuan's purchases of weapons and equipment from the Dongming faction over the years - just like what the Lingnan Song clan did.
After seeing this, Yang Guang became furious and ordered Li Yuan to be relieved of his post in Taiyuan. The deputy governors Gao Junya and Wang Wei temporarily commanded the army. He ordered Li Yuan to finish handing over the affairs at hand within a month and come to Jiangdu City. Explain this. As for the Song clan in Lingnan, the operation was similar, but a little gentler. They only sent envoys to split the military power and political power of the Song family, but did not directly deprive them of military power like the Li family.
Chu Pingsheng thought that Yang Guang's temper was too hasty, so he was not afraid of irritating the Li clan and the Song clan to rebel. However, this was exactly the situation he wanted to see.
In addition, Yu Wenhua and Song Que participated, and Dugu Feng participated in Li Yuan. Could it be that his own secret hand was at work?
When something like this happened suddenly, he was no longer in a hurry. He walked and played leisurely all the way, and it took him six or seven days to reach Jiangdu.
As soon as he entered the city, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. The guards guarding the city gate were as if they were facing an enemy, and they carefully checked the people entering the city. Even he was questioned several times, until Chai Shen's subordinates saw , stepped forward and said a few words, and then the city guard said he was offended and let him into the city.
After half a stick of incense, he arrived at Chai Mansion. He left the horse to the care of his servants and walked straight into the front hall. He saw Chai Shen, with the corners of his mouth and eyes drooping and a grimace on his face, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. Hearing the footsteps at the door, I turned my head and saw that it was him coming in, and my frown relaxed a lot.
"How many days have passed, how did you get to Jiangdu? Given the current situation, you might as well not come."
When the father and son met, they didn’t even ask what happened along the way. Whether he was harassed by bandits or was delayed due to physical discomfort, his first words were complaints and complaints, which shows how bad Chai Shen's mood was.
"What happened outside?"
"What happened? A big thing!"
Chai Shen sat down in front of the rhombus-shaped screen and said angrily: "Yesterday, Wang Shichong went to see the emperor. I don’t know what he said. In the afternoon, the emperor summoned Yu Wenhuaji, as if he wanted to praise him. However, Yu Wenhuaji suddenly claimed to be ill and did not enter the palace. When he woke up today, the atmosphere in Jiangdu changed. The morning court was not held. He found a weekday for his father. After inquiring with people who were close to Dugu Feng, they found out that Wang Shichong had participated in Yu Wenhua's book. He also had an account book in his hand, which involved the purchase of weapons by the Yuwen clan from the Dongming faction, and the quantity was larger than that of the Song clan and Li There are even more clans, and now the most trusted person by the emperor has become Dugu Feng. Now the whole city is under martial law, and the situation is very delicate. "
Wang Shichong was quick enough.
Yes, this old guy is afraid that he will tell Yu Wenji about his alliance with Shuanglong, so he will naturally come to Jiangdu as soon as possible to join Shuanglong.
From this point of view, Wang Shichong was afraid from the bottom of his heart that the world would not be in chaos.
Yes, he is the atom of the Ming Dynasty. The more chaotic the Central Plains, the more beneficial it is to them.
After what he did, everything has been sped up. Presumably the Yuwen culture and the rebellion will also be sped up.
The hard power of Dugu Feng, the commander of the imperial guards, is still inferior to that of Yu Wenhua and that general of the Youtun Guard and the general manager of the imperial army.
"No wonder..."
Chai Shen sighed: "From Luoyang to Jiangdu... you go and rest first. I will take you to court tomorrow."
"What are you going to do in court?"
"Tingfeng "
"The emperor even suspected that Yu Wenhua was too old to ban me?"
Chai Shen said: "Wang Shichong said a lot of good things about you in front of the emperor, saying that you are a young hero. Use it very much.”
The old man's eyes looked strange when he said this.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that Yu Wenhuaji went to Jinyang and said good things about him in front of Yang Guang when he came back. Wang Shichong came to Jiangdu to visit Yu Wenji and turned around and said good things about him.
Zhizi is no better than his father. What kind of virtue did Chai Shao have in the past? Although he can't be said to be uneducated and skillless, he is not as hard-working as Li Shimin, Song Shidao and other young leaders. He has the ambition to reach the clouds and follows Li Xiuning every day. When he comes home, he never fails to say "Xiu Ning" "Girl", who would have thought that after wandering around Jinyang, she would become a hot cake. Yu Wenhuaji said yes, and Wang Shichong also said yes, so the father wanted to scold him for messing up and ruining the lives of the Chai family and the Li family. The relationship is a little open.
“Oh.”
Chu Pingsheng was naturally so happy that he ignored the Japanese melon face and walked towards the backyard.
When Wang Shichong spoke well of him in front of the emperor, he probably realized that he did not inform Yu Wenji that Shuanglong had the account book of Yuwen Clan's purchase of weapons and equipment, and he also held the braid of the Wang family's collusion with the Demon Clan in his hand, so Instead of being hostile to the Chai family, it is better to show kindness and adapt to changes.
Chai Shen shook his head, sighed, picked up the tea cup placed on the table and took a sip. It was so cold that he sprayed it.
The tea is cold.
This day... it got cold very quickly.
…The next morning.
In the palace, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the guards are all standing under the porch with serious faces.
Chai Shen was in front and Chu Pingsheng was behind. The nominal father and son climbed up the steps and walked towards Guiyan Palace.
I met several officials on the road and exchanged a few words with them.
Chu Pingsheng could see clearly that this cheap dad’s influence among the court officials was not high.
Chai Shen is the crown prince's right nei rate and a fourth-grade military attache. He seems to be only one level lower than Yu Wenhuaji's Youtunwei general. But the problem is that the prince has been dead for several years. If the prince is alive, the Chai family will be in the court. Of course, there is nothing to say about his status. The prince is dead, and the Yue King Yang Jian has not corrected him. Now he is still jealous of the emperor. You can imagine how embarrassing Chai Shen is as an official.
Since ancient times, the status of businessmen has generally been low. The title "the richest man in the Sui Dynasty" placed on Chai Shen only served as the icing on the cake in the court, and it was impossible for these wealthy families to be respectful and respectful.
"The emperor is worried about Yu Wenhuaji's affairs, please don't say anything later."
As he approached the palace gate, Chai Shen reminded him in a low voice.
“Got it.”
Chu Pingsheng responded calmly.
The father and son then entered the hall under the guidance of the eunuch.
To Chu Pingsheng's surprise, Yang Guang was not sitting on the dragon throne waiting for them. Instead, Dugu Feng and Wang Shichong, one on the left and one on the right, stood in the hall with a straight face.
Dugu Feng is an old man in his sixties, with half-white hair and a goatee under his mouth. He likes to look at people with squinted eyes. It kind of complements each other.
Behind Wang Shichong there were two guards in red clothes. Chu Pingsheng burst out laughing when he saw their faces, because it was none other than Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Chai Shen rushed to Dugu Peak and cupped his hands: "General Dugu, where is your majesty?"
"Chai Neishui, please be patient."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from behind: " "The Emperor has arrived." I saw a man walking out of the door leading to the back hall. He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. He had a broad forehead and a high nose, and long eyebrows. He looked very energetic, and he still had the temperament of a ninth-five-year-old man, unlike those of later generations. As described in the book, he was a lecherous, cruel and ruthless libertine.
"Chai Shen is here?"
"Yes." Chai Shen took two steps forward and said respectfully: "The dog Chai Shao is here too."
Yang Guang glanced at Chu Pingsheng behind him and nodded slightly: "You are Chai Shao."
"Yes."
"You presented the secret of longevity and turned it over to Lingnan Song Que for rebellion. Evidence, you are loyal to me, you should be rewarded."
"It is the duty of a minister to share your Majesty's worries," Chu Pingsheng said, while silently thinking in his heart, you fooled me, I fooled you, you fooled me. , I fooled you...
"Chai Shen Tingfeng."
"I'm here."
"I now confer you the title of General Youtunwei."
Chai Shen was stunned when he heard this reward, General Youtunwei? Isn't that Yu Wenhuaji's official title?
Dugu Feng whispered from the side: "His Majesty dismissed Yu Wenhuaji from his post late yesterday. Now General Youtunwei is vacant. Mr. Chai, you are still not grateful."
< br>Chai Shen hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Chu Pingsheng sneered in his heart and replaced Yu Wenhuaji with Chai Shen. This job should be done by Wang Shichong, right? In order to let the Chai family and the Yuwen clan have a chance to test the waters of the master behind the Chai family?
"Chai Shao accepts the title?"
Chai Shen touched his arm, and Chu Pingsheng took a step forward.
"I will make you the Tiger General, and assist your father in wiping out the bandits in the Sui Dynasty and restoring the mountains and rivers."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Pingsheng thought to himself that others were still blaming him. He had been a seventh-level prince Qianniu Beishen before, but now he was riding a rocket and was promoted to five levels in one go, becoming a fourth-level general.
"Hahahaha, I want to see who dares to snatch my official position from Yu Wenji."
The Chai family father and son here just finished their official position when they heard a sound outside. A loud laugh followed by the eunuch's high-pitched scream. A fishy wind filled the hall. Yu Wenhuaji, wearing bright light armor, walked into the hall with his son Yuwen Chengdu and several personal guards.
