Wu Xiang was named a powerful general, which did not arouse much reaction from the officials.
They were just trying to cut off Li Xiuyuan's right-hand man. If it didn't work, it didn't matter. After all, they didn't lose anything.
To use what Li Xiuyuan said before, it is about propriety.
It doesn't matter whether Wu Xiang can get the reward. They have this sense, so how can they not make some adjustments?
Li Xiuyuan, who is above the imperial court, is only passively defending. As long as he fails to defend himself, he will immediately be pursued fiercely. It will be surprising to see what kind of bad results there will be.
"Literaturemen don't use swords to kill people. I led the tens of thousands of men in the bodyguard to quell the rebellion of the Nine Mountain Kings. These civil servants wanted to erase this credit in just a few words. If they succeeded, what would happen to the lives of more than two thousand of my subordinates?
Wasn't my sacrifice in vain? And they didn't even think about it. If I didn't
To quell the chaos, once Li Liang and Jin become the leader, the country of the Song Dynasty will be shaken." Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
It's really chilling.
He was now filled with disgust for these civil servants.
A gentleman repays kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. Li Xiuyuan has never been a weak and kind person. If he finds an opportunity, he will not let these officials go.
At this moment, after Zhao Guan's family awarded Wu Xiang a reward, he looked at Han Meng who was kneeling on the ground.
"Is your name Han Meng? I heard from Li Aiqing that you once led a pair of men to chase down Li Liangjin and corner the leader of the thieves." Zhao Guanjia said with a smile: "You are really talented as a general. I can get such a civil and military man like you."
Talent, I am very happy in my heart. What kind of reward do you want? You might as well tell me.
, I will consider it as appropriate."
Han Meng was stunned for a moment, and felt a little ecstatic in his heart. He did not expect that the Zhao Guan family would be so friendly to him, without any airs of the emperor.
But then he felt a shiver in his heart. He thought of what the eldest young master had told him before. He couldn't help but calm down the excitement in his heart, and then said: "The villain is just a martial artist. I once heard scholars say that thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. The villain
Don't dare to ask for anything extravagantly. Whatever the officials give you is just a villain.
An honor.”
Zhao Guanjia smiled and nodded, and then said: "Your name is Han Meng, which means a fierce beast and has a strong temper. I think there is something wrong with it, so I will give you a name. From now on, you will change your surname to Zhao and your name will be Shi."
How about loyalty? I hope you will be loyal to the court and to me from generation to generation."
To buy people's hearts?
Li Xiuyuan's face froze, and he looked at the Zhao Guanjia with a somewhat swollen face and listlessness with some strange expressions.
I didn't expect that the Zhao Guan family would be so clever as to change his surname and give him a given name.
Changing your surname and giving a given name has a meaning. It is telling Han Meng that you should change your affiliation and not work for Li Xiuyuan, but instead work for the emperor.
If Han Meng agrees, Li Xiuyuan believes that the upcoming reward will definitely not be low.
But if Han Meng agrees, it means betraying Li Xiuyuan, and whether this is successful or not, it is equivalent to breaking Li Xiuyuan's arm, because as long as Han Meng disagrees, the next moment those civil servants will pounce on him like wild dogs and impeach him.
condemn.
When the time comes, the Zhao Guan family will naturally be willing to comply with the minister's wishes and get rid of Han Meng.
"The emperor's mind?"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed: "I thought that the Zhao Guan family was a fatuous emperor. Now it seems that although the emperor is fatuous at times, he is not stupid at all. The emperor should have the power and scheming skills. This move is clearly to weaken my power. It seems
He also became wary of me. It seems that Li Lin
You are right, my trip to the capital will not go smoothly."
Later, he also understood why Zhao Guan's family began to suppress him impatiently.
It's simple, because Li Xiuyuan is young.
Sitting in a state at such a young age, with nearly 50,000 soldiers and 10,000 cavalry under his command, it is difficult to restrain such a rising star with the current strength of the court.
If the current emperor of the Zhao Guan family does not take action, by the time the next emperor ascends the throne, Li Xiuyuan will have the strength to become king in Jiangnan.
If there is another generation of emperor.
It’s hard to say whether it’s Zhao or Li in this world.
Therefore, Zhao Guan's family was preparing for a rainy day. He saw the huge potential threat posed by Li Xiuyuan.
After Li Xiuyuan figured it out at this moment, he also quickly thought about how to deal with this situation.
Han Meng did not have such high intelligence. Although he was experienced, he had too little experience and did not know the sinister intentions of Zhao Guan's family. Therefore, he was stunned for a moment, wondering why the current emperor wanted to change his surname and give him a given name.
"Is this, should this be done or shouldn't it be done?"
Han Meng didn't know what to do, but when he saw the eldest young master's solemn expression, he knew that this was not a good thing.
This is because the eldest young master will frown and stare blankly whenever he encounters something unsatisfactory. This is an unintentional move. He who has been with him for many years has already known this.
"Oh, is it possible that you are dissatisfied with my reward?" Zhao Guanjia said with a smile, his expression was not dignified at all, just like a good old man.
When Li Xiuyuan saw Han Meng wavering, cold sweat broke out on his face, he knew that he could not ignore it. He immediately sent a message into his ears: "Han Meng, please come down, but you can only change your name. If the emperor asks
I pushed him away out of filial piety."
This sound transmission reaches the ears, but it is not a magic spell, but a method used by martial arts practitioners.
The sound was not inaudible, but the people on the side heard only a buzzing sound, like a bee vibrating.
But next to Han Meng's ears, the buzzing sound was the words he just said.
"It shakes the energy and transmits the sound into the secret. This Master Li is actually a martial arts master? Oh my God, this is so possible."
The halberd bearer who had not yet left shrank his eyes when he heard the buzzing sound.
Some people even subconsciously clenched the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in their hands, feeling frightened. This was even more surprising to them than when Wu Xiang raised the bronze lion before.
Because Li Xiuyuan looked like a civil servant, handsome and handsome, with a rather elegant temperament. He did not look like a martial artist at all, but it happened that he was such a person, and he was able to transmit sounds into secrets as only a martial arts master could.
Should I be reminded?
The ten halberd holders had different thoughts, and one halberd holder wanted to remind the officials.
But after thinking about it for a while, I held back.
It seems that there is no need to ask for trouble, and there is no rule that literati cannot have martial arts.
At this moment, Han Meng was reminded by Li Xiuyuan, and he felt relieved. He knelt down and said, "I would like to thank the officials for giving me my name, but I also ask the officials to allow me not to change my surname."
"Why?" Zhao Guanjia asked.
"Don't forget your parents' surnames," Han Meng said.
Zhao Guanjia was stunned for a moment, and so were the other civil and military officials.
This Han Meng is unusual, he can think of a solution so quickly.
"Haha, I see, I have agreed. The Song Dynasty governed the country with filial piety. Your filial piety is very valuable. I will give you the name of Shizhong and make you the commander-in-chief of Yangzhou. I hope you will serve the court well in the future." Zhao Guanjia said.
"Han Shizhong thanks the official family." Han Meng said.
"Han Shizhong?" Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled when he heard this name.
But that's it.
The rewards of Wu Xiang and Han Meng have been preserved.
One was rewarded by General Shenli, a miscellaneous general, and the other was rewarded by Yangzhou General Soldier.
But who would have thought that a reward would be a great thing, but the dangers involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
It can be said that Li Xiuyuan and the Zhao Guan family, as well as these civil servants, were fighting for wits and courage.
Then, Zhao Guanjia suddenly asked: "I have something and I am confused. Li Aiqing, on the day of the fire in the capital of Shangyuan, you appeared under the imperial city and went on stage to pray for rain?"
"I did go on stage to pray for rain that day, and I disturbed Guo Zhen a lot, which made the officials laugh." Li Xiuyuan said,
Zhao Guanjia said with emotion: "But it was intentional. Li Aiqing, what do you think of the fire?"
"There are fires in the capital every year. This time it must be an accident." Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said.
"Unexpected? Humph, you are so capable of managing Yangzhou with such an answer? The lower official thinks that it must be the demon from Wutong Sect who caused trouble. And just yesterday, Fang Shengyu, the prefect of the capital, was stabbed in the house by the demon. The murderer is unknown.
Although the people from Liumen are investigating, they have learned from his wife's mouth
I learned about the Wutong Sect, and it can be seen that the Wutong Sect monster has become so bold. The imperial court can no longer sit idly by and do nothing. It should immediately wipe out the Wutong Sect and restore peace to the capital." A civil official said immediately.
"The old minister seconded the proposal, but the old minister recommended Li Cishi to be responsible for this case. Li Cishi has the merits of quelling the white lotus sect and the Maitreya sect. It is most suitable for Li Cishi to be responsible for the case of the Shangyuan Festival fire and the assassination of Fang Shengyu.
"
Mr. Yang of Zhongshu Province, who had been motionless, suddenly stood up and spoke.
"My son disagrees. Mr. Li has just arrived and doesn't know anything about the capital. He is not suitable to take charge of this case." The third prince Zhao Jing stood up and said that he saw that the situation was not good and felt that it was necessary to help Li Xiuyuan.
"Third Prince, this is wrong."
However, Zhang Yuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up and said with a smile: "How important is the position of governor of a state? To manage the people of a state, one must not only be responsible for spring plowing and autumn harvest, but also investigate and deal with large and small cases in various prefectures and counties, gather refugees, and fight wars.
Only capable people were not allowed to serve in the post-reconstruction period. Li Qishi was young.
If you are young and inexperienced, if you can't even handle a small case, how can you be qualified to hold the position of governor?"
"If Li Cishi can successfully solve the case, the officials can rest assured that Li Cishi will be in charge of Yangzhou. In this way, it will not only give an explanation to the people of the capital, but also stop the mouths of scholars all over the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"You're so beautiful, mother." Li Xiuyuan almost couldn't help but curse after hearing this.
These civil servants are really ruthless. The governor of Yangzhou suddenly became the prefect of the capital. This was not a reward, but a punishment.
Moreover, if this matter is handled well, it will at best be possible to return to Yangzhou smoothly. If it is not handled well, I am afraid these civil servants will not let this opportunity pass easily.
Li Xiuyuan was about to think of a way to push it away, but at this time, another familiar voice sounded.
"The guilty minister also agrees with Mr. Yang's proposal. Li Cishi is too young and is quite immature in governing. It is most appropriate for Li Cishi to be responsible for the Shangyuan Festival fire and Fang Shengyu's assassination. If he doesn't even have this ability,
If so, the guilty minister suggested that the officials should take back the reward from Yangzhou Governor and not let Zhi Zhi
The son misleads the country."
At this moment, he saw Fu Tianchou walking in from outside the main hall.
I really don’t know when he was released from the prison and participated in this court meeting.
""
Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched: "My father-in-law, are you trying to trick me on purpose? Is it because I gave you trouble when I was in Jinling City before? Are you trying this trick on me now?"
