[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

"It's a general under my command, but not a traitor." Zhuge An smiled, pointed to the sword in Qi Shaoshang's arms, and said, "The evidence is in this Nishuihan."

After Qi Shaoshang heard the words, he generously handed the sword forward, Zhuge An took it, and stroked the sword gently.Li Ling was on the front line of the anti-Liao Dynasty, and after learning of the news that Fu Zongshu had colluded with the Liao State, he should report to him as soon as possible.However, he was in the capital at that time, and the news could not be delivered in secret, so he had to write the evidence on silk cloth, seal it in the sword, and follow the path of the rivers and lakes.Li Ling went to Qi Shaoshang, who was loyal to Yuntian, but he disappeared without even having time to explain clearly.

Zhuge'an drew his sword out of its sheath, and the sound of Cen Cen's sword was heard, and the internal force was revolving rapidly, and the flashing cold light of the sword suddenly shattered into several pieces.The master of Badazhai and Zhuge'an's followers who were waiting under the high platform were very worried when they heard the sound of the sword. Protect him in front of Qi Shaoshang.Zhuge'an's retinues did not fall behind, and stood in front of the commander one after another, and the two sides became confrontational.

Qi Shaoshang was shocked when he saw the silk cloth falling from Saber China, but he didn't expect his brother to react so much.Under the light of the brazier, Qi Shaoshang laughed loudly and said: "Brothers, there is no need to panic, we are not competing in martial arts."

Qi Shaoshang separated the crowd, bent down to pick up the oiled paper package on the ground, and unwrapped layers of oiled paper to reveal the white silk cloth inside.Qi Shaoshang looked up at Zhuge Anren, and told him what to do with the silk cloth.

"After all, it is your saber, you should look at it first." Zhuge An said generously.

Qi Shaoshang shook off the silk cloth and looked at it carefully, and passed it to Zhuge'an after reading it.

The two confronting parties also realized that they must have misunderstood, and put down their weapons one after another, and retreated, feeling very embarrassed.

Zhuge'an received the silk cloth, clasped his fists and said, "I'll stay here for two more days. On the third day, I'll start from the Qiting wine shop, and I'll welcome Brother Qi."

"Dare not to obey orders." Qi Shaoshang cupped his fists.

"Then don't bother me."

"Why are you in such a hurry, please rest in Lianyunzhai for one night to make up for Qi Shaoshang's poor hospitality." Qi Shaoshang hurriedly asked to stay, he thought Zhuge'an was angry.Qi Shaoshang made up his mind to go to the Zhenbei Army, but the eight village owners of Lianyunzhai still need the support of the Zhenbei Army to gain a foothold in this land.

"Don't worry about some small things. I still have important things to do, so I won't leave them today." Zhuge'an insisted, and a group of people came and went in a hurry. Qi Shaoshang stood on the high platform and watched them go away wearing stars and moons .

"Brother, what's going on?" Lao Xueguang, the head of the second village, couldn't help asking, and the others were also confused.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it in detail in the account." Qi Shaoshang looked at the brothers in front of him with emotion, although he knew that there would be a day of separation sooner or later, but he didn't know that this day would come so soon.How to appease the brothers, Qi Shaoshang also had a headache.

The Zhenbei Army has many strongholds here, and each man and his party are resting in secret strongholds.The people of Zhuge'an took a closer look at the silk cloth in the Nishui Hanjian. On it was written evidence of Fu Zongshu's collusion with the enemy and betraying the country, as well as his own letters, other witnesses' testimony, etc., which were enough to convict him.It's just that it didn't mention how he, a newly appointed prime minister, could have such a secret method and such a fast method to contact the Liao Kingdom quickly. Who was the bridge for him?Even if Fu Zongshu cooperates with the Liao Kingdom, the benefits he gets are not greater than his current power as the right prime minister. What is he doing for this?The effort is not directly proportional to the harvest. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there must be a black hand behind it, but this black hand is not what Zhuge'an people can care about.

Zhuge'an people have no right to care, but Zhezong will not let it go.Zhuge Anren ordered his confidants to meet Zhezong with his personal letter and evidence, believing that Zhezong would deal with him appropriately.Thinking that there is no such person as Song Huizong here, Zhuge'an felt refreshed for a while.

The people of Zhuge'an didn't have any rest in the stronghold. They dealt with the backlog of official duties and sorted out the information of the stronghold here, and they were busy all day.

When the sun rose, Zhuge'an waited punctually on the small building of the Qiting Restaurant. This place has witnessed the ups and downs of Tsing Yi scholars and unrivaled heroes, and also experienced the hidden moves of illustrious warriors and careerists.

Gu Xichao was resting at the Qiting Restaurant, tossing and turning all night, seeing a figure on the small building, he rushed over quickly.

"How is Mr. Gu thinking?" Zhuge Anren asked with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down and talk. At this time, what was placed on the simple table was not a cannon and a lamp, but a pot of strong tea.

Gu Xichao observed Zhuge Anren's complexion carefully, and saw that he was still calm and worried.Gu Xichao smiled wryly, does he have other choices?Gu Xichao clasped his fists and said, "If you dare not obey orders, I will pay my respects to the general."

"Hahaha! Alright, this time I'm going to Beijing, I'll ask Mr. Gu for a seal."

"Not a general?" Gu Xichao looked up in astonishment, he thought he was going to give up writing and follow martial arts, after all Zhuge'an was the commander of Zhenbei Army!

"In the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, there are countless counties and counties that lack governance talents. After taking office, Mr. Gu will not only govern the people, but also shoulder the important task of selecting talents and selecting scholars for the country. I only hope that Mr. Gu will be eclectic. " Zhuge Anren pointed out.

"Thank you General!" Gu Xichao clasped his fists and bowed again, this time he was really convinced.Gu Xichao practices martial arts, and the small ax in his hand is designed to break the body of a master to protect his true energy, but he is still influenced by the world, and he always feels that everything is inferior and only reading is good.Zhuge Anren chuckled, it doesn't matter, Gu Xichaori will understand later.

"The lieutenant generals of Zhenbei Army, all call me Commander." Zhuge Anren said with a smile to Gu Xichao what he had said to Qi Shaoshang.

"Yes, Marshal." Gu Xichao immediately answered the title.

"Today, I have a speculative friendship with Xi Chao, and I have a meeting gift to give." Zhuge'an smiled and clapped hands, and his own attendant presented a big box.Zhuge Anren pushed the box in front of Gu Xichao and looked at him with a smile.

There was a bloody smell in the box. Boxes of this style were usually used by the army to hold the heads of important enemy generals, and there was an army-specific pattern of Yazi on it.

Gu Xichao held his breath and opened it, and sure enough, inside were two heads marinated by lime, the Golden Scale and Hu Han'er who were still showing off by his side yesterday.Gu Xichao understood in his heart that this was Zhuge Anren's consideration for him, and it was a blow to him.Killing the person Fu Zongshu sent to assist him naturally made it impossible for Gu Xichao's position to change.

"Thank you, Marshal, for removing this confidant's trouble for me." Gu Xichao clasped his fists.

"These two men worked for tigers, harmed the people, and framed the generals who fought for the country. The crime cannot be punished. This commander is also doing harm to the country. A few days ago, this commander has found the evidence of the current prime minister Fu Zongshu's collusion with the Liao Kingdom and sent it to His Majesty. Soon there will be an order to deal with it." Looking at Gu Xichao's increasingly pale face, Zhuge'an said, "I have an iron order from the Taizu not to kill scholars and bureaucrats, and the law says that the crime is not as serious as marrying a daughter, so you don't have to worry about it. "

Gu Xichao really lost all his thoughts at this time, Zhuge Anren not only knew that he was working for Fu Zongshu, but also knew about his marriage with Fu Wanqing.That's all, that's all, isn't it just to realize the ambition in my heart that I have been working hard for a lifetime?

Gu Xichao accepted his fate, and in the future Zhuge'an people will have various means to make Gu Xichao surrender.

Zhuge'an helped Gu Xichao to put away the box, but before he could speak, the sound of horseshoes came from afar.In the yellow sand, Qi Shaoshang came galloping alone, with dust splashing behind him.

"Marshal! Qi Shaoshang is here!" Qi Shaoshang stepped up the stairs, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Gu is here too, we will still be in robes in the future!"

The bold Qi Shaoshang broke the dull atmosphere between the two, and Zhuge An laughed and said, "As a robe and a colleague, Mr. Gu is a civil servant." Luckily, Zhuge An finally caught up with Qi Shaoshang before Qi Shaoshang arrived. lie.

"Okay, okay! Brother Gu is very talented, and he should assist the government and the people. Alas, it's a pity that "Seven Strategies", Brother Gu is good at martial arts and proficient in the art of war. It's a pity that he can't be a general." Qi Shaoshang said sincerely.

"Don't worry, when Mr. Gu will go to the battlefield in the future, you will be able to fight side by side." Zhuge Anren pronounced the word "Mr. Gu" in a jest, as if joking.

"Not good, not good." Qi Shaoshang shook his head and said: "The battlefield is dangerous, Brother Gu is just like governing the people, these rough jobs are still done by a rough man like Qi."

"Do you want to try my small axe?" Gu Xichao gritted his teeth, but no man with ambition can stand being taken care of as a weak chicken.

"It's good to be energetic!" Qi Shaoshang patted Gu Xichao's shoulder, and said, "I just looked at Brother Gu miraculously and depressed, what happened?" Qi Shaoshang is bold, not a fool.

"It's okay, Xi Chao was once under the control of Fu Zongshu because of his life experience, I solved the lackeys who followed him, Xi Chao was just depressed for a while."

"It's fine if it's resolved, the world will be vast in the future, Brother Gu will have a lot to do, and those villains who look down on others will definitely be impressed." Qi Shaoshang laughed boldly.

This is the difference between Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao, Gu Xichao will think carefully about several meanings of Zhuge Anren's words, and ponder over and over again.Qi Shaoshang seemed simple and easy to deceive, but he had a keen intuition. He knew that Zhuge'an people had no malice towards him, so he didn't care about the small details of getting along with each other on a daily basis, and turned them into big ones.Zhuge'an people like to deal with people like Qi Shaoshang.

The three of them met at Qiting Restaurant, Zhuge An took out two iron tokens from his arms and gave them to them, saying: "I have to go south to Bianjing, you go to Datong Mansion to report first, and I will come later. "

Watching the biggest harvest of this trip go away, Zhuge Anren went south with his retinue. Zhezong was seriously ill, and he didn't want to leave Bianjing for too long.While still on the road, Zhuge'an received news from the court that Zhezong cut the mess quickly, Fu Zongshu was imprisoned, the sentence was handed down, and his family was confiscated and exiled to Lingnan.Fu Zongshu had only been prime minister for a few months, and then collapsed. He really was "Prime Minister Liuying".What's even more pity is that Fu Zongshu still has black hands behind him, and he is doomed not to be able to reach Lingnan, and he will not be able to live in poverty.

Zhezong was afraid that Zhuge Anren would be wronged, so he not only specially added the false title of General Hussar, but also promoted him to be a privy envoy.For the position of privy secretary, there was another quarrel in the court.Zhuge'an has not yet arrived, and his name has been repeatedly mentioned by the ministers in the court. There has never been a military general serving as a privy envoy in the Song Dynasty.
