Chapter 559: Alliance with Lu to Resist Chen

Time flies, and it’s already late May.

The takeover of Fengzhou has come to an end.

In fact, the later period of Fengzhou's takeover was not particularly smooth. The matter of the public trial platform had been completely spread, and the squires and landowners in various counties united to resist.

Of course, their resistance is not to organize people to confront Chen Jun head-on. They do not yet have such strength.

But apply pressure.

As local gangsters, they control local food prices, commodity prices, and the livelihood of local people.

They used these as bargaining chips to threaten Chen Mo to hold a public trial.

To this end, they also made great concessions.

They also know that they have done many evil things in the local area, and if they go to the public trial, there will be no way to survive.

So they sent people to find Chen Mo. As long as Chen Mo didn't let them go to the public trial, they would return the land they had occupied from the people in the past few years and the women who had forcibly occupied it.

Not only that, they also plan to donate half of their family property to Chen Mo.

To this, Chen Mo's answer was rejection.

Just kidding, it's almost over, and he can still withstand this little resistance.

In addition, if your house is confiscated, all your property will belong to me, and I can still gain a good reputation.

But if I accept your donation, not only will my reputation be ruined, but I won't get any thanks from you, so why bother.

Seeing that Chen Mo must have a public trial, they could only mount a final resistance.

Organize the servants, encourage the people, and go head-to-head with the trapped guards under Chen Mo.

And this kind of behavior is completely like a mantis trying to control the chariot.

After capturing them, Chen Mo did not kill them immediately, but pushed them to the public trial platform as usual and handed them over to the people for trial.

…

Luonan.

In the study, Lu Sheng looked happy after reading the letter from Huicheng and said: "The leader of the Qiang tribe has been captured by his junior brother and is now on his way back. At this point, Xiliang has returned to the control of the imperial court. God bless me, Song Dynasty.”

Luo Qingyang twirled his beard under his chin with his hand, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. He cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister. When Xu Zhongguo was in power, Xiliang was not captured by the imperial court. Now that you have just become the Prime Minister, Soon, they defeated the Xiliang rebels in one fell swoop and brought Xiliang back under the control of the imperial court. This shows that you, the Prime Minister, are far better than Xu Guozhong.

Let the ministers in the court see who is the most important minister of the Song Dynasty. "

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister." Other staff and generals in the study also greeted Lu Sheng.

Taking Xiliang was of great significance to Lu Sheng.

First, he has his own horse breeding land.

Second, it has a large population and resources.

Third, it opened up trade routes with foreign countries. From now on, the imperial court could resume business with foreign countries again.

"Report"

Just when Lu Sheng was immersed in the good news of occupying Xiliang, the voice of soldiers sounded outside the study.

"Come in." Lu Sheng said.

Soon, an armored soldier came in, bowed and said, "Xiangguo, there is a man outside the mansion who claims to be King Chong and wants to see you."

"People who worship the king?" Hearing this, Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Luo Qingyang.

Luo Qingyang is also a little weird. They have no friendship with Prince Chong, but their relationship is not good.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Xiangguo, the so-called visitor is a guest, so why not let him come in and see what he has to say."

Lu Sheng nodded, and then said with sharp eyes: "Take him to the hall and wait."

"No." The armored soldier retreated.

"Everyone, come with me to meet the envoy of King Huai." Lu Sheng put down what he was doing for the time being and said to Luo Qingyang and others.

Luo Qingyang and others nodded and followed Lu Sheng to the hall.

"I have met the Prime Minister, and I have met all of you." As Lu Sheng and others entered the hall, the envoy of King Chong, who had just sat down, stood up and paid homage to Lu Sheng and others.

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then came to sit down and said, "Do you know Benxiangguo?"

You must know that when he first came in, he did not identify himself.

The envoy of King Chong nodded, flattered a little, and said: "In the fourth year of Xuanhe's reign, I saw the heroic appearance of the Prime Minister in the court."

"Your Excellency?"

"My subordinate, Zhao Dejiang, was once a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, and now I work under King Chong." Zhao Dejiang said.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhao." Lu Sheng nodded, and after gesturing for the servants to serve tea, he said, "I don't know what the important thing is that King Chong sent you to find Prime Minister Country?"

"It's really important."

"Then let's hear it."

"Back to the prime minister's country, my prince said that he is willing to fight against Chen Mo with the prime minister's country." Zhao Dejiang said.

Hearing this, Lu Sheng raised his brows, then laughed and said: "I'm afraid King Chong didn't wake up to fight against Chen Mo. Duke An Guo is the pillar of the country, a loyal minister of the court, and the hero of the Song Dynasty. Although the Prime Minister of the country has not met An Guo Gong, Yes, but I am a close friend by letter.

On the contrary, King Chong once supported King Huai and raised troops to rebel, which was against the party. Now you and the rebels have allowed the Prime Minister to join you in dealing with Duke An. What are your intentions? "

Lu Sheng drank coldly.

Since King Chong would send Zhao Dejiang, it shows that the latter is quite capable.

Facing Lu Sheng's cold drink, Zhao Dejiang was calm and composed, and directly found the loophole in Lu Sheng's words: "Best friend, loyal minister? I don't think so, the Prime Minister regards him as a close friend, but he may not regard the Prime Minister as a close friend, otherwise this young man The imperial examinations of the four states of Yu, Lin and Huai will not go against you, the Prime Minister."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Sheng's face suddenly darkened, and a general below shouted coldly: "Presumptuous."

Luo Qingyang said to Lu Sheng: "The imperial examinations in Qing, Yu, Lin and Huai were approved by His Majesty, and the Prime Minister also indicated it. Lord Zhao, please don't think too much."

Zhao Dejiang did not refute this, and then talked about the next thing, saying: "But Xiao Chongrong died in your hands, Prime Minister. The Xiao family will never let it go. Now that the Xiao family has surrendered to Chen Mo, Prime Minister, do you think Chen Mo will let you go?

In addition, the Xiliang Qiang tribe is still Chen Mo's ally. Now that the Qiang tribe has been destroyed, it is difficult for him to Dao will not ask you for an explanation.

Chen Mo now controls the entire north, has the support of the people, and has the support of the Wu family, the Xiao family, and the entire Jiangnan. Fengzhou has also fallen into his hands, and Shufu is his ally. When the imperial examination is over, the selection of officials is completed, and the north is stable, who in the world can compete with him? That's right."

Speaking, Zhao Dejiang seemed to think of something, and said: "The head of the Longyou Yue family is now his woman, and she herself is a warrior in the supernatural realm."

After speaking, the whole hall was silent.

Because Zhao Dejiang's words really touched Lu Sheng's heart.

After a while, Lu Sheng said in a deep voice: "It is true that what you said makes sense, but why should this prime minister cooperate with King Chong? According to this prime minister, King Chong's current situation is not very good. "
