"Hey, Mr. Gong, who doesn't know that you and our boss are enemies! Even if you, the old man, take over the gold and silver in Yanyun County, who can still fart?" Wen Chengxu said.
"Oh? Since you all know that Xiao Chen and I don't get along, why do you still give me generous gifts? Could it be that you want to hurt our family?" Gong Shouli said with a smile.
"Of course not. Although Mr. Gong, you are the enemy of our boss, but those of us below all admire your toughness, Mr. Gong. If you are not a good man, can you be my boss's enemy? Just like that Zuo Wei Pan Zuo
Sir, he wants to be my boss's rival, is he worthy?" Wen Chengxu said and made a sound of contempt.
"Hahaha, you old man is going to become a spirit!" Gong Shouli raised his head and laughed.
"Everyone knows this!" Wen Chengxu counted on his fingers, "There are only a few enemies of my boss, Fengyang King Li Feng, Household Secretary Chen Wenqi, Military Secretary Lu Jing, and you, Master Gong."
Wen Chengxu was indeed a good man. He knew that Gong Shouli was the enemy of Governor Xiao Chen, but he was still able to flatter him so openly and naturally.
Zuo Weipan was also wandering on the street with a few followers, but he didn't buy anything. He just chatted with vendors and passers-by and asked about people's livelihood matters. Of course, he also asked everyone about their opinions.
What does Yanyun Governor Xiao Chen think?
Like Shunfeng City and Changshan City, almost everyone respects Xiao Chen like a god, not superficially, but from the bottom of their hearts.
Thousands of words can be summed up in the last sentence. Without Governor Xiao Chen, we would not have the good life we have now!
It’s okay for the people of Yanyun to say so, but those from the tribes in Northern Xinjiang also think so. If it weren’t for Governor Xiao Chen, how could Northern Xinji have iron pots, porcelain, tea and cotton-padded clothes, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the rare peace?
?
You say this is due to the benevolence of Emperor Zhou? Sorry, we don’t know who Emperor Zhou is at all. We only know that everything we have now was given by Governor Xiao Chen!
It was he who turned us and the Yanyun people from enemies into brothers, and the way we greeted each other changed from swords and guns to hugs. On our vast grassland, we have not seen the bones of fresh graves for a long, long time, and we have not seen them for a long, long time.
I have heard the lamentations of widows crying for their husbands and parents crying for their sons,
Yanyun County treats us all as relatives, and we treat them as brothers. If this friendship lasts forever, our descendants will never suffer the disasters of war. They ride horses on the grassland just to
Shepherding sheep and singing, you no longer have to rush to the battlefield and bleed and die.
So every day we pray to the Immortal God to bless Mr. Xiao Chen from disaster and illness, and to live forever.
This made Zuo Weipan very depressed. What is this Xiao Chen capable of? In just three years, he was able to win over the hearts and minds of all the tribes in northern Xinjiang?
Huh, in the final analysis, it’s just that he is good at making money! But Xiao Chen really has the ability to make money... Zuo Weipan had to be convinced. Not only was he convinced, but all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were also convinced.
Some people even secretly discussed that if Xiao Chen was allowed to be the Minister of Household Affairs, maybe our financial situation in Dazhou would not be as tight as it is now. The salary for several years could not be paid in full...
What shocked Zuo Weipan the most was that when he tried to ask some common people in a joking tone what they thought about Xiao Chen's desire to become king in Yanyun County, their answers were just like that.
Everyone agrees that Lord Xiao Chen is the king of Yanyun County. Why isn't he the king? Can't he?
Let me tentatively ask, if Lord Xiao Chen wants to be the king of Yanyun County and openly breaks with Zhou Dynasty, will that big guy follow him in rebellion?
Everyone says that Mr. Xiao Chen is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness, so how could he rebel? Even if he rebelled, it was the Emperor of Zhou's fault. Why can't he see us living a good life with Mr. Xiao?
We are all good citizens, of course we will not rebel, but we are just following Mr. Xiao. If he lets us go to war, it must be for our own good, so what else is there to say? Just do it...
It seems that Xiao Chen must die!
It is said that he is seriously ill and can only live for three years, but who can predict what will happen in Yanyun County in the past three years? He is no longer a king in Yanyun County now, but has the same existence as an emperor!
Who knows that a person who knows he will die will not rebel? Maybe he wanted to be an emperor before he died? This is all impossible to say.
Besides, he can't be the emperor himself, but he has so many brothers. What if he supports one person to be the emperor? Or what if he recognizes a godson to be the emperor?
In fact, these are all Zuo Weipan's own random thoughts. As the saying goes, if you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse for it!
He knew that Fengyang King Li Feng hated Xiao Chen deeply and had always wanted to get rid of him quickly, so he had to collect more evidence of Xiao Chen's crimes. Even if it was an unfounded crime, he had to be laid on a few grounds to get rid of Xiao Chen.
Chen is relatively justified...
The best accusation is that Xiao Chen rebelled, or plotted to rebel. This is what the emperor is most afraid of. Even if he doesn't believe the evidence produced by Luo Zhi, it will plant a poisonous weed in his heart, which will eventually bloom and sprout in the future.
Of course, Xiao Chen may not live that long, because Zuo Wei's real purpose of coming here is to follow the secret order of Fengyang King Li Feng to meet Mojie King Wanyanhong and ask him to find a way to kill Xiao Chen at the birthday banquet.
!
Although this tactic of borrowing a knife to kill someone is a bit crude, it is also very practical. Didn't Xiao Chen fall into the trap already?
As long as he reaches the territory of Mojie, life and death will not be up to him!
The terms offered by Fengyang King Li Feng to Wan Yanhong were quite generous, and Wan Yanhong had been dissatisfied with Xiao Chen for a long time, so killing Xiao Chen would be a win-win situation for both of them...
Gong Shouli came here with the emperor's secret edict, but Li Feng also knew the content of this secret edict, because the emperor had told Li Feng that the emperor planned to give Wan Yanhong an iron-hatted king, the kind of hereditary and indiscriminate king.
, in the future, his descendants and descendants from Wan Yanhong will be King Mojie for generations to come!
Moreover, he was invited to come to Beijing to discuss important matters... His intention could be guessed by his nose, which was to use Wan Yanhong to suppress Xiao Chen!
So in a sense, the emperor and Li Feng had the same ideas, it was just that one still wanted to use Xiao Chen, and the other was eager to get rid of him.
Belonging means arriving at the same destination through different paths.
What's interesting is that it seems that Li Shi, the king of Jiangdong, also wants Xiao Chen to die, because Li Shi has been coveting Yanyun County and wants to replace him as the king of Yanyun... Haha, it's a shame that Xiao Chen even sacrificed his life for him!
But Li Shi thought too much, because Li Feng also wanted to regard Yanyun County as his own fiefdom. Although he had military power, he had been fighting in the north and south for so many years, but he didn't even have a solid base.
Although he is King Fengyang, it is just a nice title, because Fengyang City cannot be his!
