Chapter 257
"I saw the heartless gunman today, and you fooled me here again tonight. Xu Xianchun should be confused now. As long as you hesitate a little, he will definitely throw out the trump card Wei Zhongxian handed over." Walking to the door of the private room, Sun Chengzong
Shut up.
"Even if you see through it, don't say it. Let's see what good conditions Xu Xianchun has. But I still mean that, we can only help King Xin. In any case, he is the Ming Dynasty orthodoxy.
advantage, if we really help Wei Zhongxian, if nothing else, we will be drowned by the saliva of the Chinese people."
"I mean the same thing, but I'm trying to get Wei Zhongxian's conditions out of Xu Xianchun's mouth. We can also extort more things from King Xin. Since we don't want to help Wei Zhongxian, let's get more benefits." Sun Chengzong nodded.
.
Li Xiao was able to understand the general situation and take the initiative to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty. This made Sun Chengzong very happy. After all, people in these days still believed that the emperor of the Zhu family was the real emperor. Even if Wei Zhongxian deposed King Xin, he would have to establish another one.
The prince of the Zhu family came out to become the emperor.
Sun Chengzong didn't know that Li Xiao had already known everything that happened next. He even knew Zhu Youjian's future reign name, Chongzhen!
Instead of helping Zhu Youjian, he went to help Wei Zhongxian, that dead monster. This kind of mistake would not even kill Li Xiao.
Pushing open the door of the private room, I saw Mao Wenlong chatting enthusiastically with Xu Xianchun. Judging from the level of speculation, he was not far away from being hired. Mao Wenlong, a very friendly guy, is very suitable for such a reception task.
"Handle some things, Brother Xu, don't be offended. Brother, I will punish myself with three cups of wine later!" Li Xiao raised his hand to Xu Xianchun and glanced at Ai Husheng. Ai Husheng immediately ordered the food to go!
The boy handed over the warm towel, and Li Xiao took it and wiped his face. "The late Emperor Daxing, Brother Xu is busy at this time, why did he suddenly come to Shanhaiguan? But what are the orders of Jiu Qian?" Li Xiao
He put down the towel in his hand, waved his hand, and all the boys in the room left.
"Uh...!" Xu Xianchun looked at Mao Wenlong and Sun Chengzong with some embarrassment. Especially Sun Chengzong, this guy got Wei Zhongxian into trouble. Now that they are discussing rebellion in front of him, this is too much.
.
"We are all our own people in this room. Commander Mao and Mr. Sun are all trustworthy people. As the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, I cannot lead this soldier in a day without the help of Commander Mao and Mr. Sun."
Li Xiao said it very solemnly.
In order to let Xu Xianchun have a deeper understanding of the status of these two people in the Liao army, Li Xiao also emphasized it.
"Oh, that's it! Uh...! Cough!" Xu Xianchun tightened his throat.
"Emperor Daxing is newly mourned, and there are people in Beijing who want to take the opportunity to cause chaos. What Jiu Qian Sui means is to send your Liao army to Beijing. Everything is at Jiu Qian Sui's disposal!" Xu Xianchun said the purpose of this trip.
As expected, it was similar to what old Chen Fu had heard. Flying pigeons could pass messages much faster than Xu Xianchun's horse riding.
Li Xiao didn't say anything, but just looked at Mao Wenlong and Sun Chengzong.
"Nine thousand years old, I hope our brothers will send troops as soon as possible. Time waits for no one." Xu Xianchun added quickly when he saw that Li Xiao was silent.
"Brother Xu, since you call me brother, I will call you eldest brother. There are some things you can't hide from me!" Li Xiao said in a deep voice.
"How could I hide this from my brother? Where did you start talking about this?" Xu Xianchun was obviously taken aback.
"Brother Xu, tell me the truth. Who is plotting evil? Who are we going to deal with when we get to the capital? What is the situation like in the capital when we are nine thousand years old?" Li Xiao asked three questions in a row, and then talked with Mao Wenlong and Sun Chengzong.
Three pairs of eyes were staring at Xu Xianchun like eagles. The three of them were not prepared to let go of any expression on Xu Xianchun's face!
Xu Xianchun was horrified by what he saw. The eyes of these three guys were too sharp, which gave him a huge sense of pressure in his heart.
"Uh...!" Although there was no one in the room, Xu Xianchun still looked around guiltily.
"Say it! There are no outsiders here!" Li Xiao pressed impatiently.
"King Xin!" Xu Xianchun said a name as expected.
"That's not right! Lord Xu, King Xin is the successor according to the late emperor's decree. And according to the Ming Dynasty's laws, he is also the most recent prince. His succession is in accordance with the law, and he has the decree in hand. How could he rebel and make his own mistakes?
What's your objection?" As soon as Sun Chengzong opened his mouth, Xu Xianchun was speechless.
Guys from Jinyiwei background are all rough people, and Xu Xianchun is not a good lobbyist at all. Wei Zhongxian sent him here this time because he was interested in his friendship with Li Xiao. To put it bluntly, he was here to set up a friendship.
However, Li Xiao did not see him alone. Instead, he invited two old foxes who had become mature for a long time to accompany him. Generally speaking, the person who can play with the old foxes must be at least a young fox. Xu Xianchun is a jackal, with a high IQ
Completely crushed.
"Uh...! Jiu Qiansui said that the edict was false, and the cause of His Majesty's death is a mystery. Therefore, I want to transfer my brother to Beijing." Xu Xianchun was not unprepared at all. Faced with Sun Chengzong's questioning, he started to make nonsense.
Jin Yiwei's men have committed many unjust imprisonments, and the confessions of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were all false. Xu Xianchun can be said to be a professional when it comes to lying.
"This is a big event. Is there a nine thousand year old warrant? If not...! When we go to Beijing, it is a private deployment of troops. Brother Xiao and I cannot bear the crime." Mao Wenlong spoke.
According to the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations, if the army enters Beijing privately without orders, it is basically impossible for the generals to survive.
"Uh...! Things happened in a hurry, and Jiu Qiansui didn't have time to request the order."
Li Xiao was so depressed that he didn't say anything. Zhu Youxiao was already dead. He still asked for an order! Who should he ask for an order from, Zhu Youjian? Ask him to approve Li Xiao's coming to the capital to arrest him?
"No intention! How can we enter the capital? We can't even enter the gate of the capital, not to mention there are troops stationed around the capital. We can't fight all the way into the capital, then we are rebelling." Mao Wenlong's two craft stalls can be regarded as
The legal road to Beijing has been blocked.
"Brother, Jiu Qian Sui is not kind to you. Your business in the capital depends entirely on Jiu Qian Sui's care. At this time, you can't just sit back and watch." Really unable to defeat the two old foxes, Xu Xianchun decided to attack Li Xiao.
"Brother Xu, I also miss the good news of Nine Thousand Years. Without Nine Thousand Years' care, I, Li Xiao, would not be where I am today. But you also know that mobilizing the army is not that easy. And this time, there is no decree.
How much risk do I have to take?" Li Xiao's expression was very helpless.
"Brother, you can't be an ungrateful person. If you do, I, Xu Xianchun, will die in front of you." Seeing Li Xiao's embarrassed look, Xu Xianchun pulled out the dagger from his waist and held it straight against his throat.
Seeing Xu Xianchun acting like a bachelor, Li Xiao frowned.
If Xu Xianchun were to commit suicide, he would definitely not have the courage. This guy was just trying to scare himself into submission. This was a good opportunity to take advantage of him!
"Brother, don't do this. If you really do this, how will you behave in the future?" Li Xiao hurriedly took Xu Xianchun's hand.
"Are you going to send troops or not?" Xu Xianchun was unmoved.
"Brother, put the knife down first and let us talk." Li Xiao gently pressed Xu Xianchun's arm.
Xu Xianchun was just pretending, but now he used excuses to let go.
"you say."
"Brother, you also know that my Liao army's military expenditure is insufficient. Where the money earned from those businesses in the capital went, you, as a royal guard, must also know.
Now you want the Liao army to send troops, and money will be everywhere for this army. This year, the decree asked me to go to Shandong, but I didn't even have a big salary allocated to me.
For the sake of the people of Shandong, I, Li Xiao, admit it. In the battle of Penglai, tens of thousands of artillery shells were used. I, Li Xiao, also admit this hole. Now let me march to Beijing. Brother, I really have no money.
The emperor's family is not short of hungry soldiers. To be honest, my soldiers have not been paid for two months. If they are not paid, let alone go to the capital to work for the Nine Thousand Years Old. If I can do it and not mutiny, I, Li Xiao, will be thankful to God."
Li Xiao looked at Xu Xianchun with a sincere expression of sorrow.
Xu Xianchun put down the knife, and Wei Liangqing guessed correctly. Li Xiao is a guy who has fallen in the eyes of money. Now that he is poor, why not find a way to get money?
He took out a brown paper envelope from his pocket and slapped it on the table. Wei Zhongxian had already been prepared for this move.
"This is...!" Li Xiao looked at the envelope, his eyes shining. Money! At this time, you need to be more reserved. If you want to be a bitch, you must also erect an archway.
"There are 500,000 taels of silver in Jizhou's treasury. This is the bill of lading! Jiu Qiansui said that after entering Beijing, there will be 300,000 taels of silver in the household department, and they are all yours." Rich local tyrants are different.
, Xu Xianchun took out the bill of lading with different confidence.
Li Xiao took the brown paper envelope and handed it to Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong opened it, took a look, and nodded to Li Xiao.
"Since Brother Xu is a happy man, my brother is also unambiguous. I will send someone to Jizhou to collect the silver. As soon as the money reaches Shanhaiguan, my brother will immediately send troops to the capital!" Li Xiao stood up and patted his chest to Xu Xianchun to assure him.
"It's better to send troops first. Anyway, the army is passing by Jizhou, so we can pick up some money." Xu Xianchun was eager for Li Xiao to set off tomorrow morning.
"Brother Xu, this army sends out people and eats horses and chews for money. I can't help it. If I don't pay enough, how can the soldiers follow you and work hard. It's like this these days, and there are families to support. I promise
, when the money arrived, I paid the salary. I immediately set off to the capital. You still can’t trust me, brother?"
"How can I not trust Brother Li? Well, let's raise the money first!" Xu Xianchun was afraid that things might change if he continued talking, so he hurriedly finalized the decision.
"Okay! Brother Xu, please be happy. We won't go home until we get drunk tonight. Ai Husheng, serve!" Li Xiao shouted at the door, and Ai Husheng immediately walked in with a group of boys. All kinds of seafood, like running water.
