Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Verse 51 Shadow

Looking at the cloudy sky with the roaring wind outside the window, He Zhiqiu only feels that his heart is colder than the weather outside the room, so what can he do? Don't say that there is no evidence at all to prove that Li Wufeng has the intention of conspiracy, even if there is, so what? I am afraid that His Majesty will not believe it at all. How many ministers in the court are willing to offend him who is in full swing under such circumstances?

Thinking of this, He Zhiqiu suddenly had an idea in his mind, and turned around, "Wen Fu, where did you get the news? Does anyone else know?"

Lu Wenfu, who had been thinking about He Zhiqiu's words, saw that the usually calm minister of military affairs suddenly became a little anxious. He was a little surprised why he was interested in this question, but seeing the urgent look in his eyes, he immediately answered Said: "My people got this news by chance from within the Luobei people. It is said that the opinions among the Luobei people on reaching a compromise with Li Wufeng are not completely consistent, but the faction that favors a compromise is currently gaining the upper hand. , some people disapproved of it, so they said it on a specific occasion, but it seems that most people don’t know the specific content of this matter.”

"So you didn't get the news from the Imperial Intelligence Department. It seems that many people don't know the news yet." Nodding, He Zhiqiu's face became normal, but he became hesitant in his heart Thinking about it, he had already made up his mind, but he felt that he actually adopted a seemingly despicable method, which was rare in his career as an official, but after thinking about it, he did this out of the overall situation and for the benefit of the empire. I felt more calm in my heart, and made up my mind resolutely.

Lu Wenfu noticed that the Minister of Military Affairs in front of him sometimes stretched his frown and sometimes squeezed it together, as if he was making an important decision. After several considerations, he seemed to have finally made up his mind.

"Old He, you seem to have a countermeasure. Since you have it, let me hear it. We must not let Li Wufeng go. This guy's power is expanding too fast, and his ambition is beginning to be exposed. He should Restrain him, otherwise the threat to the empire in the future will be immeasurable." Lu Wenfu's tone was still full of worry, and he obviously didn't think that He Zhiqiu's countermeasures would have a good effect. After all, Li Wufeng is now on the rising stone, even His Majesty the Emperor admired him very much, and it was not easy to find an immediate way to restrain him.

"Wen Fu, think about it, who in the court is most dissatisfied with Li Wufeng's popularity?" He Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes, and gently stroked the gray goatee under his chin.

Lu Wenfu's eyes flickered. He is also a seasoned first-rank member of the imperialist court, and he has always been on good terms with He Zhiqiu. ? No, although they can talk in the court, but they dare not stop what His Majesty has decided, then only ``````" The words paused, but their eyes looked at He Zhiqiu, seeing The other party nodded slightly knowing that his guess was right, and nodded thoughtfully.

Turning his back slowly, his voice became a little low: "You know, originally I was the most disgusted by these crony disputes, but now the situation is serious, Li Wufeng's ambition has to arouse our vigilance It's just that His Majesty the Emperor probably won't listen to these words at all, not to mention there are people blowing pillow wind nearby, we have to make a bad move. I'm afraid only his power can make Li Wufeng feel scruples, and he is sure I won't tolerate Li Wufeng's power to become bigger, as long as we cooperate with him in the court, both openly and secretly, I think it is delusional for Li Wufeng's power to cross the Partridge Pass (Note 1)."

Silently analyzing He Zhiqiu's words, Lu Wenfu also had to admit that this is the best way out of the current options. Although there are still many subtleties in the middle, the general direction can only be this way. Although Ning Yuanwang and Sidon's party were quite influential in the court, it was a fact that Li Wufeng was appointed to the military and political governorship of Northwest County as a matter of fact; There is also no conflict of fundamental interests with Li Wufeng, so we can't expect them to do anything. But that person is different, he has been looking at Northwest for a long time, and now Li Wufeng seems to be getting close to someone again, this is something he cannot tolerate, this contradiction is not easy to resolve, it seems that He Zhiqiu's gaze It's really not a general diabolism.

"Well, although there are still many points worth considering in your opinion, I still agree, but the specific operation needs to be carefully considered. Don't let His Majesty think that we are supporting a certain side, it will be difficult to handle. Also. Although Ning Yuanwang and Sidon dare not disobey His Majesty's opinion, they definitely don't want Li Wufeng to do this in their hearts. As long as we cooperate secretly, we will cause Li Wufeng a lot of trouble." Slightly sighed, Lu Mrs. Wen's voice also lowered, "I used to support him with all my strength, but I didn't expect him to be ambitious. It seems that knowing people and faces is hard to know! From now on, don't try to get the support of my internal affairs department, we also have to strengthen our support Monitoring of changes in the Northwest situation.”

"Although Northwest County has a vast land and rich resources, it is sparsely populated, its economic foundation is too poor, and local forces are intertwined. There is also Yinchuan Prefecture, a hot potato. Don't even think about making waves. Wenfu, what you just said about strengthening the monitoring of the Northwest is very important. We not only need to strengthen the monitoring of the Northwest, but also strengthen the monitoring of the activities of Li Wufeng's subordinates, especially in the imperial capital. One point is particularly important."

Lu Wenfu nodded knowingly, "I will arrange for someone to handle it. I think he will have a lot of activities in the imperial capital. Maybe he can give us some opportunities."

But how do you know that Qiu and Lu Wenfu's ideas can be implemented smoothly as they wish?

Note 1: Zhegu Pass is an extremely important pass between Bonan Prefecture and Longdong Prefecture. .

Situ Tai, who was lying on his back on the spacious leisure chair, has been quite annoyed recently, and he closed his eyes silently, but there were so many disturbing things in his mind that he couldn't calm down at all. This Li Wufeng was always unexpected, and he tried to win him over in every possible way. He always maintained that indifferent attitude, but not only how could he get mixed up with Lao Liu, couldn't he see who was more powerful now? What is Situ Biao? He has no foundation and no help. How could Li Wufeng get involved with him? This puzzled him.

"Your Highness, Mr. Leng is here." The attendant's words interrupted Situ Tai's contemplation, and he waved his hand to signal the maid who was waiting on the side to step back, "Oh, please come in."

Leng Qian still had the calm appearance of the old well, walked into the room, saluted Situ Tai and sat on the side seat, "Your Highness is looking for the old man, but what's the matter?"

Situ Tai straightened his body, "Oh, there is nothing important, I just feel bored and want to talk to my husband."

His cold and modest eyes glanced at Situ Tai's face. Situ Tai seemed to be preoccupied. He knew his master too well. It should be said that Situ Tai was a shrewd master, but if he was too shrewd, he seemed a bit attractive. Bogey. Moreover, he also puts too much emphasis on deceitful ways. Although it is said that those who achieve great things do not care about small details, if they rely too much on these methods, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing.

He knew what his master was worrying about now, but he didn't point it out. "Your Highness, you seem to have something on your mind."

"Oh, it's nothing. It's probably due to the bad weather. It's snowing and raining all day long, so it's really hard to make people feel better." Situ Tai casually perfunctory.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year. Your Highness should be happy. If there are a few more snowfalls like this, next year the empire will have a bumper harvest." The corner of Leng Qian's mouth twitched slightly, showing a hint of a smile, Fleeting.

"Well, this, yes, yes, this is indeed a good thing, but I'm stuck at home all day, unable to go out, and I feel bored and panic." Situ Tai was taken aback, and quickly covered it up.

"Oh, then His Highness can hold a family dance party and invite some friends to have fun. It can not only strengthen the emotional connection, but also enliven the atmosphere."

Situ Tai hesitated for a moment, "Oh, I'm not in the mood to have these kind of dances right now."

"Oh? Then it seems that His Highness has encountered some troubles. If it is because of that Li Wufeng, then His Highness need not be so troubled." Leng Qian also stopped going around in circles and went straight to the point. The master is already upset.

"Oh? May you teach me, sir." Situ Tai's eyes suddenly brightened, and his energy was like an addict who suddenly smoked enough tobacco leaves, and suddenly became alive.

"I secretly investigated the relationship between Li Wufeng and His Highness Sixth Si. According to the information we have, before Li Wufeng went to the northwest, the two of them had no contact at all. It can be said that His Highness Sixth didn't know Li Wufeng at all. Northwest only went back to the imperial capital once when he served as the city guard, and his stay was not long. I focused on checking his contacts during this period of time. There was only one contact with His Royal Highness, even in the imperial capital's Zhaixing Tower, and the time was only three or four. Hours. And during Li Wufeng's stay in the imperial capital, he had a lot of contacts, and there is nothing special about His Highness the Sixth Highness." Leng Qian analyzed slowly.

"Then is it possible for them to set up a follow-up relationship after that contact, and finally form a ``````?" Situ Tai's heart had already calmed down, and he asked this question.

"Probably not. Who would confide in the heart when they first met? Li Wufeng is not a fool, besides, the situation of His Highness the Sixth Highness was not an outstanding person at that time. And they didn't have any direct contact afterwards. Even if there was, such a big matter, The masterminds of the two sides have never met, and it is impossible for the people below to make the decision." Leng Qian's words are beyond doubt.

"Then why did the sixth son support Li Wufeng at the court meeting and let him take such a big deal?" Situ Tai still had doubts in his heart~IndoMTL.com~Your Highness, think about it carefully. He has the ambition to stand out, but right now it can be said that he has no influence at all. The changes in the situation in the northwest have little effect on him. It will not be of much benefit to him if anyone takes over the northwest. If you or the other highnesses When people are controlled, it is even more harmful than beneficial to him. To be honest, Li Wufeng was indeed the best candidate at the time. His Highness's strong recommendation of Li Wufeng would not only win His Majesty's appreciation, but also give the officials in the court a refreshing feeling. , at least Li Wufeng owed him a favor, why not do it? "Lengqian's words can be said to the point.

Rubbing his aching temples, Situ Tai asked, "In your opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

"Respond to all changes with the same. Li Wufeng will not hang himself on a tree, even if he wants to hang himself, he will choose the thickest tree. The strength of the Sixth Highness is too far behind, not enough. I think He will contact us."

"But at the court meeting, I clearly expressed my opposition to him serving as the military and political governor of Northwest County. Will he hold a grudge against us and not `````` with us?"

Interrupting Situ Tai's words, he shook his head coldly: "Absolutely not. The situation of everything changes anytime and anywhere, and the attitude towards it will also change accordingly. Friends and enemies are not eternal. , I believe that Li Wufeng should be clearer than us. If he can't even do this, I don't think he should worry about it."

The conversation changed, "However, we can't be careless. Li Wufeng is already well-off, and we have to make two preparations. We can strengthen our connection with him as much as possible, and on the other hand, we must limit the development of his power from all aspects. Try to suppress him in the northwest."
