Chapter 606: Zhao Xiongge, Seventh in the Alchemy List!
She still has pickles and rice to eat, but at this time Shang Jianxiong is anxious to get angry, can't eat anything, and has been paying attention to the battle situation in Dingzhou.
When the battle report of Xue Xiao's emergency request for help arrived, Shang Jianxiong was furious when he learned that the 50,000 troops gathered in Dingzhou were almost wiped out by 30,000 troops from Nanzhou, and even lost a county.
Angrily scolding Xue Xiao for being incompetent and useless, angrily scolded the officials below who surrendered in Kaesong, and vowed that one day those officials who surrendered would be handed over to the Zhujiu Clan.
However, it was more disturbing, the sneak attack on the thatched cottage failed, and he shot himself in the foot with a stone, which caused such a big incident.
After discussing with a group of ministers, it is not impossible to dispatch reinforcements from other states, but at this time, most of the state capitals under the control of the imperial court have been mobilized to defend South Korea and Song. People and horses may not have won in the past.
The key point is that once the war is expanded, it will really become a cooperation between the inside and the outside, and the internal chaos of Yan State. Can South Korea and Song State hold back from not sending troops?
The three major sects would not agree to the court's doing this if they knew about it. If Shang Jianxiong dared to go all out and mess around like this, I'm afraid he, the emperor, would not be able to do it anymore.
But if it is true what Nanzhou said, Xue Xiao will be killed for a reason made up by Nanzhou to make an apology, what is the prestige of the court? What do the state pastors in various state capitals think? What should I do if those princes who support their own self-respect have provoked and followed suit? Not to mention the minister's objection, Shang Jianxiong himself was the first to refuse!
In the end, Shang Jianxiong had no choice but to ask the three major factions to intervene under the advice of the ministers to suppress the rebellious Nanzhou!
For Shang Jianxiong, it was very difficult to make such a decision, which showed his incompetence as an emperor, and he couldn't even rule a southern state.
What's important is that he caused this incident by himself. It's useless for him not to admit some things. Everyone is not a fool. They made things like this by themselves, and finally let the three major factions come forward to clean up the mess for you. What did Da Pai become? It's no wonder that the three major factions can give a good face!
At the same time, the movement of Nanzhou's attack on Dingzhou was too great, and it could not be concealed even if it wanted to. It was discovered by spies from various forces, and all kinds of news were on the way back.
...
At dawn, the city of Qingshan County was full of noise. The people hanging from the top of the city lifted ten of them up. In front of everyone, the defenders shot and killed ten of them, and brought them up to collect their corpses.
"How did you kill it?"
"I heard that the court ordered them to make a surprise attack on the report. The guards of the county city said that the court could not do such a thing. They were annoyed at these people and bewitched the public with their demonic words, so they killed them!"
There was a lot of discussion among the people in the city.
The corpse was carried out of the city and buried hastily in the wilderness. When it was buried, there was another person, a person whose face was covered in blood and whose face was deformed.
The buried soldiers met together, and one group who brought ten corpses asked the other group, "Which one died?"
The other group said hehe: "I'm not one of the people who were arrested in the attack on the villa, but this person has a lot of background. It is said that Gao Shaoming, the son of the imperial court chief Situ Gao Jiancheng, seems to have heard that he didn't want to involve the family, and finally committed suicide by hitting his head on the wall. Already!"
"Hey, then this is really a big deal. That Gao Situ must die of grief?"
"It's sad, there are many concubines, and there are many children and grandchildren. If one dies, it's nothing. At worst, a few more will be born to make up for it."
"Haha, your mouth is really damaged."
"Who is not angry? This imperial court is really unscrupulous in order to deal with us in Nanzhou. Not only did it sneak attack, but it also dared to rob the prince's woman. Even such despicable things are done. I think this imperial court will end sooner or later!"
...
"Gao Shaoming committed suicide?"
Guan Fangyi, who rushed to Niu Youdao's yard from outside, immediately asked Niu Youdao, looking very surprised.
"What's the big deal, have you taken a fancy to him?" Niu Youdao jokingly walked down the steps.
"Bah!" Guan Fangyi spat and followed his pace, "I'm worried that my money is gone."
"Well, here." Niu Youdao took out a few receipts from Tianxia Bank and gave them to her.
"Ten million!" Guan Fangyi smiled openly after counting, and suddenly the smile disappeared, and she grabbed his sleeve and asked forcefully, "Have you hidden your money?"
"..." Niu Youdao was speechless, what and what?
Without further ado, Guan Fangyi grabbed him and searched him, fumbling around in his sleeves and body.
"What are you doing? Don't make any moves, lonely men and widows, be careful to be misunderstood!" Niu Youdao twitched to avoid it.
"You have seen my mother take a bath, are you still afraid of misunderstanding?" Guan Fangyi persisted, searched all over and found that there was indeed no secret, and it was still the poor who let him go, but his eyes were on him. in the room.
"Hey!" Niu Youdao held a sword in one hand, and shook the other hand in front of her eyes when he straightened and messed up his clothes, "Where are you going to look? I said Hong Niang, you are not energetic. As for what, I am in your eyes." Is there someone hiding money in a corner?"
Guan Fangyi said angrily, "What about the agreed one hundred million?"
"Where do you ask people to find 100 million in such a short period of time? You don't really think that the Gao family can come up with 100 million gold coins in cash?"
"What did you tell me when you asked me to take out the three black jade carvings? You said that 100 million is mine. Now? The one sold to Dachan Mountain is worth five million at least. Ten million for three?"
"That's not how the bills are calculated. Think about it, didn't you even out some of the five million yuan? It's almost the same for three 10 million yuan."
"Niu Youdao, I think you don't know how to settle accounts. Now it seems that the accounts are quite clear. Are you still shameless?"
"I said Hong Niang, you are the most beautiful woman in the world anyway, the most beautiful woman in the world should treat money like dung, and you can't take advantage of money, it will damage your image."
"Don't come here, the number one and the second in the world are gone, men don't have a good thing, my mother is old now, and it's safest to hold cash in her hand, but now she treats her name as dung. Bring me 90 million !"
"Look at you, it's a fight with the old bear, you let me down so much."
"Don't change the subject. When talking about money now, don't talk about feelings with my old lady. It's useless. Lie to me again and again, and play around with my old lady. You have to give me an explanation this time."
"They only gave me 10 million, where can I find 100 million, can I owe it first?"
"Okay, you can't sell you without me, give me some time, when will you pay me back?"
"Is it OK in the next life?"
"Bastard, don't run!"
Where can he go, the dignified Daoist can't hide from the house just because he owes some bills, but in the end Guan Fangyi grabbed his sleeve.
Simply put, Niu Youdao is going all out, but he has no money, what can you do to me?
Playing a scoundrel really made Guan Fangyi's teeth itch, so he can only let him owe it first, and then pay it back bit by bit when he has it.
The quarrel between the two of them is just that, after the quarrel, it's over, and it's still "glue like paint" in the end.
In fact, Guan Fangyi enjoys this feeling very much, so she seized the opportunity and wanted to clean up the cow.
The two finally strolled to Hei Mudan's grave. Seeing Niu Youdao with his sword closed, Guan Fangyi asked, "The Gao family will buy Gao Shaoming's life for 10 million?"
Niu Youdao was surprised: "How can you see it?"
Guan Fangyi: "Don't think I'm blind, just pretend I didn't know there was a guest at the villa last night? As soon as the person came, you mentioned Gao Shaoming to meet him. Gao Shaoming died early this morning. How could it be such a coincidence. Yesterday Is it someone sent by the Gaofu later?"
Niu Youdao asked with a smile: "Then how do you know that Gao Shaoming's life was bought for ten million?"
Guan Fangyi: "It's not difficult to understand when you think about it. Gao Shaoming fell into your hands. Once you stand up and testify against the court, the Gao family will be finished! Once Gao Shaoming dies, this problem does not exist. Skip it Regardless of family affection, it is totally worthwhile to spend 10 million to buy Gao Shaoming to die and keep the Gao family safe! And if you don’t agree, let alone 100 million, you won’t even get 10 million. Isn’t that the case?”
Niu Youdao chuckled, neither denied nor admitted, and asked instead, "What else do you want me to say?"
Guan Fangyi snorted, and she knew it was like this...
Boundless Pavilion, Tianhu Inn, when Linghuqiu walked to the window and opened the window to look out, he was stunned for a moment, and found that the Boundless Pavilion seemed a bit lively today, and the frequency of people coming and going on the bridge outside was higher than normal .
He was about to call Hongxiu who was tidying up the house to come over and ask, when there was a knock on the door, the two people in the room turned their heads and saw Hongfu pushing the door and entering.
Before Linghuqiu could speak, Hongfu had already walked to the window and reported: "Sir, the list of pills has been changed."
Linghu Qiu said, and looked out of the window, "The change of ordinary characters should not be such a big movement, is there any change in the ranking of some important people?"
Hongxiu heard the sound and came over to watch.
Hong Fu nodded and said: "Sir, what you expected is correct. Zong Yuan, who was ranked seventh in the alchemy list, was killed, and the person who killed him was Zhao Xiongge, who was ranked ninth in the alchemy list! Zhao Xiongge jumped to the seventh place, replacing Zong Yuan's position, the tenth replaced the ninth place, and the eleventh entered the top ten. At the same time, there were three ranking changes in the top ten of the Dan list, so it caused quite a commotion."
Linghuqiu was a little surprised, "Zhao Xiongge? He hasn't been involved in any right and wrong for many years, how could he take action against Zong Yuan?"
Hong Fu: "According to the reason for the ranking change mentioned on the Dan list..." He paused at this point.
Linghu Qiu and Hong Xiu looked at each other, and the latter asked: "Why don't you want to talk, and there are no outsiders here, so is there anything you can't say?"
Hong Fu: "According to the Danbang, the Maolu Villa in Qingshan County, Yan Kingdom was attacked by a large number of monks. Zong Yuan was the attacker, and Zhao Xiongge was the defender."
There was a moment of silence in the room, and Linghu Qiu suddenly sighed softly, "How could the third brother recruit Zong Yuan and Zhao Xiongge at the same time...Is the third brother all right?"
Hongfu shook his head: "As for why Zongyuan attacked the Maolu Mountain Villa, as usual, Danbang did not go into details. However, a piece of news that just came out also caused quite a stir. Maybe it is worth trying to figure out why the Maolu Mountain Villa was attacked The next day, a group of senior officials who participated in the sneak attack, such as the Feihua Pavilion and the head of the Zhenlingyuan, were captured alive and hung on the top of the city in Qingshan County to show the public. attack."
"I don't know if these two things are related, but there are rumors outside that the mastermind behind the sneak attack on the Maolu Mountain Villa should be the court of the Yan Kingdom, and the court of the Yan Kingdom must have provoked the revenge of the third master, otherwise the Shang Dynasty would not be able to drive the Great Chan Mountain. This kind of thing. According to this statement, the third master should be fine. "
