Huang Baojie was shocked. He quickly asked Fang Guan to sit down and asked, "Why did the prime minister say this?"
Fang Guan sighed and said: "General Huang is a man with a bright mind. It is not difficult to see that there is a serious disease in the court now. The emperor is like a puppet alone. Li Siye is in charge of the power and controls the court situation. He regards us as the Tang Sheji.
Things. The emperor is oppressed and his ministers are silent and dare not speak out. The world will be in danger!"
When Huang Baojie heard what he said, he secretly paid more attention. He shook his head and said: "Huang Baojie is a soft-spoken person and can't care about so many things. I can only live up to the court's instructions and take good care of my three-acre land east of the river."
Just divide the land."
Fang Guan continued to persevere: "General Huang, you can't think like this. Of course your power alone is very small, but what if we add the power of all of us? Li Siye seemed to be in the top of his power, but he made the most fatal mistake.
That’s the Qi number.”
"It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. We have experienced the rule of Emperor Taizong, Gaozong, Zhenguan and Yonghui, and have reached its peak in the prosperous age of Kaiyuan. Today, only twenty years have passed since the prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty. Even if the fortunes of our country in the Tang Dynasty are not good, we will still be far from good.
When his strength is gone. If Li Siye dares to conspire and cause rebellion, manipulate the emperor, and bully the royal family and officials, he will end up dead sooner or later. Doesn't General Huang hear about the usurpation of Han Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo?"
Huang Baojie smiled unkindly: "Sir, don't try to deceive me because of my lack of experience. Although Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo ended miserably, didn't Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Yu Wentai and Yang Jian also succeed? The only difference between them is personal.
It’s just ability.”
"Manpower will eventually be no match for the weather. Li Siye, Shi Siming and their like will eventually perish, and we are not the only ones who can gather righteousness."
Huang Baojie finally came to the crux of the problem and quickly asked: "How many people are there?"
Fang Guan took out the silk cloth from his sleeve. On the front was the decree written in blood written on the emperor's bitten finger. On the back was densely written names, all of which were the righteous men in the court who were preparing to kill Li Siye. He saw a few of the names, Yan Zhuang,
Gao Shang, Duan Xiu Shi and others stood out, as if there were not many people around Li Siye sincerely."
"The general must assess the situation and not forget his loyalty. Those who are not on this list are all loyal lackeys of Li Siye. In the future, when we bring order to the chaos, these people will also be liquidated. I hope the general can make a decision properly and must not hesitate.
Decision, in the end, I made a mistake."
Huang Baojie's face changed several times in an instant, and he suddenly laughed in a low voice: "I, Huang Baojie, am not a loyal person, waiting for me to polish my ink and write."
He spread the bloody letter on the desk, wrote his name on it with a pen, and handed it back to Fang Guan.
Fang Guan held his hand and said: "The general has been a like-minded person with us from now on. In the future, great righteousness will arise and the world will be restored, and the great achievements of the general will inevitably be indispensable. For the sake of safety, I cannot stay in the general's house for a long time and say goodbye."
After Huang Baojie came back from sending Fang Guan away, he couldn't sleep all night. He had doubts about his choice tonight. In the face of the cruel political struggle, if he fought with the wrong team, not only would his wealth be in danger, but his own life would also be at risk.
Afraid of sending it away.
The next day, he was going to Prince Yong's Mansion to meet with Li Siye. He had already been mentally prepared for this. Prince Yong's Mansion was the core of his contact with this regime. The one in the Daming Palace was just a decoration. What he wanted to meet was the real emperor.
The center of Prince Yong's Mansion is built on an island in the center of a small lake. Three stone arch bridges pass through the lotus pond in front of it. After passing through the gate through a long stone path, you will see a magnificent and illegal double-eaves veranda roof building.
This is the roof shape that can only be adopted by the Hanyuan Hall and the Linde Hall of the Daming Palace. Li Siye is guilty of transgression just because of this.
He walked dozens of steps into the palace and saw several of Li Siye's advisers and generals sitting on both sides. Among them were Yan Zhuang and Gao Shang, Bai Xiaode and others were also among them, as well as the most mysterious masked male middle school orderer Xu Bin.
Out of awe and curiosity, he couldn't help but take another look at Li Siye's first adviser. He wore a dark brown sandalwood mask on his face, and the deep black pupils in the eye holes looked extremely cold and penetrating.
The others also glanced at him with cold eyes, as if he was an uninvited guest who had just arrived.
The one with the warmest expression here is Li Siye, who is sitting on the bed. He is smiling but makes people feel gloomy unconsciously.
He walked to the steps and knelt down with his hands crossed, saying, "The last general, Huang Baojie, is here to see your Majesty."
Li Siye smiled and nodded, personally walked down and helped him up and said: "It is said that the land of Sanjin has outstanding people. Only when I met Dr. Huang today did I realize that this statement is true. I can tell with just one glance that you are a talent. In the future, you and I will work together."
To pacify the world and achieve unparalleled miraculous achievements."
"Huang Baojie is ashamed to accept such great love from King Yong. From now on, he is willing to be the King's pawn and fight for you."
Li Siye took his hand and said: "There are thousands of soldiers on the front, but there is only one Huang Baojie. Naturally, I am very relieved to have Hedong in your hands."
"Come here, give Dr. Huang a seat."
Only then did Huang Baojie notice that there was an empty seat between the two generals Duan Xiushi and Bai Xiaode, and it turned out to be for him. It seemed that Li Siye gave him some face, at least his official status was only
Second to these two veterans with outstanding merits.
Li Siye asked casually: "I heard that there is not much new food in Taiyuan City right now, and only old moldy rice and moldy food are left. Soldiers often die from diarrhea after eating moldy rice?"
"Your Majesty, since Deng Jingshan served as the governor of Hedong Province, the soldiers have been eating moldy rice for a year and a half. They went to the capital to pay homage to your Majesty. At the same time, I also want to ask your Majesty to lend a helping hand to Hedong and support us with some rice grains.
.”
"This is natural." Li Siye waved his palm and said to Xu Bin beside him: "Didn't they just transport 200,000 shi from Longyou and Hexi? Allocate 100,000 shi and order people to escort them to Hedong, and solve the problem of Doctor Huang first.
It’s urgent.”
Huang Baojie turned around gratefully, knelt on the ground and crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty's kindness is unforgettable to the fifty thousand soldiers in Hedong. They will surely be broken into pieces in the future in return."
"They are all our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, we should treat them equally. Dr. Huang, you can go back with peace of mind. You, the Hexi Jiedu envoy, need at least some confidence to take up the post. This confidence is given to you." He raised his head again and sighed: "Deng
Although Jingshan is a little harsh in his treatment of others, he is diligent and honest, and is a rare good official."
Hearing what Li Siye said, Huang Baojie couldn't help but panic. Is this trying to vindicate Deng Jingshan? Doesn't this turn him into a human being inside and out?
"However, Deng Jingshan is taking the blame for Li Heng of the old court, and he is also taking the blame for Wang Sili and Guan Chongsi. If they hadn't squandered the millions of dendrobium grains hoarded in Taiyuan, how could Deng Jingshan have fallen into this situation?
What happens today."
Yan Zhuang took the opportunity to find an opportunity and said: "Your Majesty is right, if the king is not secretive, his ministers will be lost. Li Heng and others did not care for the soldiers east of the river, which caused today's tragic disaster. Therefore, it is said that benevolent people love others, and unbenevolent people will eventually suffer backlash."
"But benevolence should also pay attention to its target. For some people who are ignorant, blind benevolence and righteousness will only encourage their rampage. Such people should be dealt with ruthlessly."
Huang Baojie felt that he could not wait any longer. This matter would be an unbearable consequence for him. He should still follow his perception. The Li Siye in front of him was confident and surrounded by many wise people, and his thoughts were also unfathomable.
, he is definitely not someone who lets others take advantage of him right under his nose.
He finally made up his mind, stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a solemn expression and said: "Your Majesty, there is something I have to report to you, please forgive me for my sins."
Li Siye paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes and asked, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Well," seeing Li Siye's reaction, Huang Baojie relaxed a little and started pouring beans into the bamboo tube: "Last night, Pingzhang's office under the Zhongshu family, Fang Guan, came to Pingkangli's home..."
"I wanted to get the evidence from him last night, but I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I pretended to sign my name on it. I also asked the king to send someone to investigate carefully and not let these people with ulterior motives go free."
