Chapter 42 Decision (continued)
In the afternoon, in the study, Li Lizheng and Zhang Ying discussed the current situation. On the 14th day of the first lunar month, King Poyang was attacked and killed in the palace. The next day, the news spread to Hanshan, which was known to them.
Zhang Ying knew that Li Li had a "Flying Pigeon Passing a Letter", so he was not surprised by the rapid transmission of the news.
However, he was quite surprised by the attack on Poyang King Xiao Fan and died. He then felt that the opportunity had come, so Li Li had to make a decision early.
"There are no turning back when the arrow is drawn. There are many people who oppose the King of Poyang to assist in the administration, let alone the uncles. Now they are struck while the iron is hot and uprooted the King of Poyang to the roots."
"On the brothers of King Poyang, Xiao Xiu was only capable of some of them. At this critical moment, he was useless. Therefore, now he has just captured Panyu and captured Xiao Bo's prince, and he is about to end his journey."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ying once again lamented the benefits of Fei Ge's passing of letters: Li Li's nephew Li Xin followed the prince of Poyang to the south and brought the carrier pigeon to timely transmit the front line back to Poyang and then to Hanshan.
Li Li asked: "What you mean is that the court is slow to cook on low heat, at least from the surface, the Prince of Poyang could not find a reason to attack, but he had to go step by step toward a dead end?"
Zhang Ying nodded: "Yes, I am handling the case of the attack on the Poyang King on the surface impartially, so that the soldiers of the Southern Expedition understand that the court is reasonable. In this way, what else can the Prince of Poyang?"
"The prince of Poyang has received bad news. If he leads a large group of troops to return to the north slowly, what should the filial son do?"
"If you take your entourage to Jiankang day and night, you will enter the territory of Jiangzhou, especially when you arrive in Nanchang, you may not be able to do so for the next trip."
"If the prince knew that there was a lot of danger in going to Jiankang, he chose to lead his troops to return north, so he had enough time to arrange the situation and block him halfway."
"Then they will divide the soldiers and make wishes, and make wishes to them. Haha, the families of the soldiers are all under the rule of the court. Can they risk their lives being a desperate royal family?"
Li Li was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then my nephew can't even be awarded an official position, so he can be awarded a title!"
"Yes, yes! What the lords and marquis said was very true!" Zhang Ying also smiled, "I told my nephew not to be promoted to the marquis, and I ordered my sister-in-law to be appointed as the lord of the county and glorify the village."
"The younger brother of Liang envoy will also be promoted to the title. The civil and military officials in the court praised the uncle and nephew of the king and the brothers of Liang envoy, all of whom were pillars of the country."
"Then the two of them entered the capital to serve as officials, guarding the palace, and often accompanying the emperor. Tsk, this is a very easy task for many children of the gentry."
Li Li smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line: "So, my Li family was a blessing in disguise, and he was promoted to the corpse of the King of Poyang and his son?"
"That's right!" After Zhang Ying finished speaking, he actually saluted and congratulated Li Li on his way.
Li Li was overjoyed and stood up and walked around the room: "Oh, my family alone is not as glorious as it can, but it must be ascended to heaven!"
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Ying nodded, "Governor Peng, maybe he can be transferred to the governor of Raozhou. Tsk, this is a return home in glory, and many people dream of it."
"The Liang envoy may be transferred... For example, the governor of Yingzhou, wow! This is also an incredible task, guarding the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. In previous years, they were all royal family members and princes, not far from their hometown in Poyang."
"Other Xuzhou military officials also have many appointments and promotions, and happily bring their families to various places to take office. This is a real family of chickens and dogs to heaven!"
Li Li still laughed loudly, smiling and sighed: "Oh, by next autumn, the grass in my family's graves will probably be three feet tall, so you have to clean it up."
Zhang Ying smiled and shook his head: "Junhou is joking. When next autumn, it will be three feet tall for the grave of Junhou and his son."
"How is it possible, what about the female family? Didn't they be buried together?" Li Li was surprised, and Zhang Ying put away his smile, "How can he be buried together, be a slave and a servant, and be happy under others' crotch."
"Isn't that very miserable?" Li Li scratched his head, and Zhang Ying nodded: "Yes, very miserable."
Of course, the rules of the game in the "ancient" political struggle are that the winners take all, and the losers eliminate the roots.
If all adult males are killed, if a minor child is lucky enough to die, he will have to enter the palace to become an eunuch.
As for women, according to the convention, those who are not slaves, of course, they must be happy with others.
The two of them just used a joke to deduce a finale for Li Li. The dark ending was in a huge contrast with their smiles.
The reason is that King Poyang was actually "headshot".
Li Li was quite surprised that the old drama actor was killed by two young men.
What surprised him even more was that the "Poyang King Group" performed extremely poorly when the leader was finished and the deputy leader was not around, almost like a group of mobs.
King Xiao Fan of Poyang has more than 30 younger brothers and more than 20 sons. Not to mention the disciples and old officials, but at this critical moment, all the people lost their links.
Faced with the enemy's sneak attack, I couldn't even organize a decent counterattack.
The murderer was the emperor's two uncles and was not immediately "suspected". Instead, the court offered a reward for the murderer's accusation against the King of Poyang.
The implication is obvious.
Therefore, after the "Poyang King Group" was over, Li Li's situation became subtle.
The fact that his nephew Li Xin joined the Poyang Crown Army was actually a common "human relationship" in the officialdom. Such human relationships are far worse than in-law relationships.
In the past, in-laws have not constituted a reason to kill a company, let alone suits.
However, Li Li used the relevant information of Le'an Super Copper Mine as a big gift and gave it to the King of Poyang in private, rather than publicly submitting the report. This is equivalent to privately giving the artifacts to receive, and the severity is similar to the agreement to rebel.
Once the court eliminates the Poyang King's roots and copies letters and information when copying the Poyang King's Mansion, or if the Poyang King's words are not tight and let others know and provide them, the Poyang King's opponents can be punished for Li Li's crime of being a Poyang King's accomplice.
So, Li Li found a pig as his teammate, and most of the "friends" of the pig teammates were native chickens and tiles.
When the court finished packing up the brothers, descendants and followers of the King of Poyang, it was Li Sanlang, the turn of Poyang.
Of course, in order to stabilize him, the court must have "stewed slowly in a low heat" and used high officials and generous salaries to transfer his subordinates to other places to serve, and then divide them into different places.
If he forcibly stops such a method, he will ruin his subordinates' good deeds, and dissatisfaction and resentment will spread.
If he sits silently, he will become a lonely man and will be finished sooner or later.
It was impossible for Xuzhou governor Xue An to be the governor of Xuzhou to be the northern affiliation of the prefecture when he was studying in the Liu Song Dynasty. After receiving the news, Emperor Gao Yang of Qi would probably hum a song while setting up a big pot in front of the Taimiao and chop firewood and boil water himself.
First, chop Duan Yuying's son whom he gave birth to feed the dog, and then it was his turn to put the pot on it.
If you just think about this kind of scene, it is quite exciting.
Li Li felt that if he finished, Huang Feng would not be humiliated and would definitely choose to commit suicide. Zhao Mengniang would probably be stunned for a moment and then follow up.
As for the Xue sisters and Duan Yuying, they will probably accept their fate and become the new favorite of the new owner with their stunning beauty.
If that were the case, Li Li, who became a "ghost", would not blame these three for refusing to commit suicide and keeping his integrity for him.
Because there are only a few strong women in the world, if they rely on women to commit suicide to keep their integrity, it only means that men are extremely incompetent.
Li Li put away his smile and said, "Okay, let's get back to the point. Think about how I should persuade the young emperor when the prince of Poyang enters Jiankang and starts a massacre to ensure that the young emperor is not affected?"
This made Zhang Ying stunned: The Prince of Poyang entered Jiankang? Isn’t this a big deal?
From Lingbiao Guangzhou Panyu to Nanchang, Jiangzhou, there are thousands of miles of roads, and the road is difficult to walk. After receiving the bad news, Xiao Si, the prince of Poyang, received the bad news, even if he rode a horse, it would take about ten days to get to Nanchang.
The shortcomings of Fei Ge's letters determine that Xiao Si, who was in Panyu, must receive bad news from the messenger at least at the end of January.
I set off and rushed back. It was already early February when I arrived in Nanchang, and I was carrying a light cavalry, which was less than a lot.
During this period, the center had nearly a month to make a calm layout, so Xiao Si had no chance of winning.
He was not fooled and made his attitude straightforward: "Mr. Lord! Please lead your army to Beijing immediately under the name of revenge for the King of Poyang!"
Li Li asked back: "Go to Beijing? Are you trying to persuade me to calm down the prince of Poyang by force and not to be rude to the young emperor?"
Zhang Ying was amused and laughed: "Don't joke, Junhou, the prince of Poyang can't fly, how can he rush back from Lingbiao in a short time..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ying was stunned. Seeing Li Li calm, he thought of something, and then his pupils shrank: "No, no!"
Li Li raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "You have to clarify a fact. I am not only supporting whoever will win if I look at it."
"Which side I support, and which side I will definitely win!"
Chapter completed!
