Huo Lingyun obviously didn't know who "he" was, otherwise he would have been able to say his name the moment he spoke, but whether it was Wei Huaigu or Xi Hongxuan, they were already dead.
"In the sixth year of Xiande, only Hua and Pan Dang could promise Huo Qing the title of honor," Yao Wenyu stroked the back of the cat's neck with two fingers, "At that time, Xi Hongxuan had not yet entered the dynasty, and Wei Huaigu was far away. Without this ability, why would Fujun guess these two people?"
"Noble title," Xiao Chiye read these two words seriously, "following this promise, you can list those people without even guessing, it's like not covering up."
"According to Peng Fangmiao's official career, the promise of the title is probably just a disguise, and what is really used to bribe people is something else." The Minister of the Ministry was Qian Jin, but from the first year of Xiande it was Wei Huaigu who really took control of the Ministry of Households."
Qian Jin was expelled together with Hua Siqian in the Nanlin Hunting Rebellion case, and the key to Da Zhou's money still did not fall into Hai Liangyi's hands. Wei Huaigu immediately stood up and served as the minister of household and Hai Liangyi. Keep going. It was not until Wei Huaigu was imprisoned in the Libei military ration case that the family's depletion of the national treasury during the Xiande period caused an empty deficit and the defeat of Zhongbo's army came to the surface.
This is an intricate network, involving not only officials from the capital city, but also officials from various localities in Dazhou. Just imagine, if "he" used the same method to bury secrets in Juexi and Qidong, how many people are scorpions now
"I shudder," Kong Ling couldn't help but say, "This is just..."
It simply eroded the inside of the big week!
"Don't panic," Shen Zechuan looked around at the gentlemen, he used a calm tone to brush away the anxiety that pervaded, "Too many threads can easily reveal their faults, and no matter how shrewd calculations are, they must be bound by the body of mortals, manipulating such a situation It is time-consuming and laborious, and too many people will do bad things.”
Juexi and Qidong are not the same as Zhongbo. Zhongbo is the result of neglect of control. Juexi has Jiang Qingshan. What he and Xue Xiuzhuo did to track down Kongkuo was to obstruct the family and the scorpion. Qidong has Qi Zhuyin, the prime minister has his own team all over the country, and Qi Shiyu assists in government affairs, and he will never be in line with the scorpion. But Shen Zechuan was sure at this moment that the person who manipulated the military rations of Bianjun was the white scorpion hiding in the capital. This scorpion didn't want to turn against Lu Guangbai at all, but wanted to kill Lu Guangbai.
At this moment, Xiao Chiye stared at Huo Lingyun again and said, "Since the fire gun was given to King Yi by the scorpion, who taught you?"
Fire guns are not swords. Huo Lingyun, who was born in Dengzhou, had no chance to touch them before. If he wanted to use them proficiently, he had to go through training. Xiao Chiye has touched the fire cannon in Zaidu, and he knows it like the back of his hand. Regardless of whether King Yi can use it or not, if he knew that Huo Lingyun could use it, he would not have kept Huo Lingyun by his side without any defense.
Huo Lingyun pursed his lips. In the silence, he looked solemn. After a while, he said, "Fang Lao Shi."
This is also one of the reasons why Fang Lao Shi was willing to join forces with Huo Lingyun to kill King Yi. He learned to use the fire gun very fast, he could act beside King Yi, and he could get news of the purse, and he kept staring at King Yi. trend.
"After Dunzhou was recaptured, Yang Qiu and Fang Laoshi became restless," Huo Lingyun continued. "When Cizhou reached an agreement with Libei and Qidong, Fan and Dengzhou were already facing a crusade. They were afraid of Yizhou. Wang couldn't resist threatening to open the door and surrender, so he wanted to kill him first and vacate the treasury."
Huo Lingyun used the treasury as bait to burn Yang Qiu and Fang Lao Shi to death. Now the money is in his hands, only he knows where it is. This is why he dares to talk to Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye.
Huo Lingyun's eyes turned between Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye, and said, "I can use firearms, and I can teach the Northern Iron Cavalry and the Cizhou garrison." He looked at Xiao Chiye, "You are going to attack Duanzhou in February. You can replace me with the vanguard, and I can lead the remaining garrison in Dengzhou."
Fei Sheng, who had been kneeling on the side for a long time, immediately changed color, he paused for a moment, and then said: "It was not my turn to interrupt in front of the master, but it is about the safety of Duanzhou and the second master. I have to say a few words. Sentence. This person is unclear or not, and it is not suitable for the second master and the master. The second master is not short of generals, not to mention that there is also Mr. Yin with him this time. "
Fei Sheng really cares, his fear of Huo Lingyun is not without reason. Fanzhou was clearly laid by Yin Chang! If it wasn't for Huo Lingyun's trouble, Yin Chang wouldn't be scolded. Alright now, Yin Chang captured Fanzhou, but Huo Lingyun took the lead again. It seems that it was only because of Huo Lingyun's arson.
Not only that, Fei Sheng felt that Huo Lingyun was both tolerant and ruthless. Such a person is both capable and scheming. To let Huo Lingyun stay by Shen Zechuan's side is to threaten Fei Sheng, and Fei Sheng doesn't want to give him a chance at all.
Fei Sheng knew the way and knew where his chances were. He dared to interject now, because he knew that Xiao Chiye didn't like Huo Lingyun.
Sure enough, Xiao Chiye didn't want to answer Huo Lingyun's words at all. He needs fire guns, but he doesn't need Huo Lingyun, Duanzhou can only be his Xiao Ce'an's field. He stayed in Libei for such a long time, staying at Beiyuan school every day, wearing heavy armor and training with Hai Rigu's scorpion, just to find a breakthrough that could reverse the current situation in Libei. If we replace the striker with Huo Lingyun now, right The Libei Iron Cavalry, whose morale was originally low, was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Shen Zechuan's back was sore after sitting for a long time, and the tooth marks on the inside of his legs had not yet subsided. It was not a lie to tell Xiao Chiye that he was messy in the morning. Start sending grain to Dunzhou, and the grain and grass for Duanzhou must go first... and whether Huo Lingyun can use it, this is a tricky thing.
"Since Young Master Huo has a heart," Yao Wenyu said to Shen Zechuan, "Fu Jun, isn't Jin Yiwei recruiting new people recently?"
Yes.
Shen Zechuan instantly understood what Yao Wenyu meant.
Putting Huo Lingyun in the Jinyiwei, with Fei Sheng's fear, Huo Lingyun couldn't get up, and with Qiao Tianya watching from the side, Fei Sheng couldn't step on Huo Lingyun too much. In this way, he can keep a distance from Shen Zechuan without wasting people. It can also give a warning to Fei Sheng, who is becoming more and more "independent", so that he doesn't get carried away, leaving Qiao Tianya and Huo Lingyun's double restraint.
"Fei Sheng," Shen Zechuan said, "choose from the rest of the Dengzhou garrison army. All that meet your recruitment criteria, including this Young Master Huo."
Fei Sheng could understand the purpose of this order after thinking about it. He sank in his heart, and accepted it happily, saying: "I will follow the master's arrangement, but this Dengzhou garrison is Huo Lingyun's old legacy, and may not be willing to serve Jinyiwei."
"That's because you didn't reward enough," Xiao Chiye raised his left hand and turned his right thumb back to its original position, without a smile in his eyes, "When they entered Jinyiwei, they were no longer from Dengzhou. The military status of Dengzhou can be sold."
Xiao Chiye clicked to the end.
The forbidden army that Erye received in his early years was more difficult to deal with than the Dengzhou garrison. Xiao Chiye is reminding Fei Sheng that these remnants of Dengzhou will be able to leave their country of origin if they enter Jinyiwei, and they can also be exempted from the land tax in Cizhou. As long as they can do the tasks ordered by Shen Zechuan beautifully, what's wrong
Fei Sheng understood what he meant and hurriedly said yes.
* * *
It was getting late when it was over, Qiao Tianya pushed Yao Wenyu back to the yard.
The stone pavement in the courtyard is clean and free of snow, and salt is specially sprinkled to prevent the four-wheeled vehicle from slipping. The newly planted plums are all thankful, and Canhong hugged the branches to death, trapped in the snow and ice, looking particularly desolate. The road was wet today, Qiao Tianya walked slowly and pushed the car very steadily.
Yao Wenyu's cat is called "Hu Nu". He either stretches his waist and pads his claws under the eaves all day, or sleeps soundly on Yao Wenyu's lap. At this moment, he is full of energy, stepping on Yao Wenyu's sleeve and rubbing Yuan Zhuo's palm vigorously.
Yao Wenyu pointed and scratched Hu Nu, the lantern beside him illuminated his profile face, he has been a little fatter recently, and he is much better looking than when he first came.
Qiao Tianya didn't speak, his eyes moved to Yao Wenyu's neckline, and he went to Yao Wenyu's cuff by mistake.
They didn't say a word today.
The four-wheeled vehicle entered the door, and the people serving under the eaves brought hot water inside. Yao Wenyu sat in the room reading a book, Qiao Tianya picked up the knife and stood outside looking at his violin.
After a long time, the servants all backed out and closed the door gently. On weekdays, Qiao Tianya does the bathing of Yao Wenyu himself, not under the guise of others. Yuan Zhuo loves cleanliness, he won't fall asleep if he doesn't take a bath, and every time Qiao Tianya wipes his hair, he sits quietly.
He seemed to accept his current ugliness, but that was the limit. No one other than Qiao Tianya was allowed to see it again. This was the bottom line he could endure.
Qiao Tianya stood for nearly half an hour, and finally heard Yao Wenyu whispering in the middle: "... Qiao Songyue."
Qiao Tianya's fingers on the strings stopped, but he didn't answer, as if he didn't hear it.
Yao Wenyu was quiet for a while and said, "...it's time to sleep."
The iron horse under the eaves swayed, bringing in the loneliness in the wind. Across the curtain, Yao Wenyu saw Qiao Tianya's shadow on the curtain. He seemed to stand for a long time, and after hearing the sound, he lifted the curtain and came in.
The candlelight is very dark, Yao Wenyu should not be bright at this hour, this is the beginning of his weakness and helplessness in a day. Hu Nu got into the quilt and patted the quilt, unaware of the embarrassment in the room.
Before Yao Wenyu could clear his eyes, Qiao Tianya leaned over with a calm expression and picked him up from the four-wheeled vehicle. When the clothes touched, Qiao Tianya put Yao Wenyu's arm on his shoulder, Yao Wenyu gently curled his fingers when he touched Qiao Tianya's back.
Yuan Zhuo is very restrained, that is the upbringing of a gentleman.
Qiao Tianya was unraveling Yao Wenyu's hair. At this time, his eyes were focused... He was so focused that Yao Wenyu couldn't look at each other, so he could only look away. When she took off her clothes, Yao Wenyu said softly, "No more."
Qiao Tianya paused for a while, and did not let go of the hand holding his belt.
Yao Wenyu suddenly clenched his neckline, showing a look like annoyance, he said, "No more!"
"Don't want anything?" Qiao Tianya, who had not spoken for a while, looked at him with a calm expression.
Yao Wenyu's words "don't touch me" stuck in his throat, he looked at Qiao Tianya with bloodshot eyes, as if Qiao Tianya was some kind of beast. His palms trembled slightly, but he still said, "...No more."
Yao Wenyu pursed his lips, he struggled, pressed Qiao Tianya's chest, resisting Qiao Tianya's touch.
The rattan chair made a "squeak" sound, the blurred bronze mirror swayed bluish and white, and the toga and black hair were struggling in Qiao Tianya's arms, like spring leaves eager to escape with the wind. Qiao Tianya let him make trouble, and when he was about to slide to the ground, he suddenly overturned the rattan chair, grabbed Yao Wenyu's wrist, and pressed it hard between the scorpions.
"What do you want to do?" Qiao Tianya pressed Yao Wenyu's wrist with one hand and straightened Yao Wenyu's face with the other, "Let me throw you in like this, or throw it here?"
Yao Wenyu was forced to raise his head, he breathed rapidly, closed his eyes, biting his lips white. Qiao Tianya let go of the hand holding his chin and put it between his lips, preventing him from biting like that. Qiao Tianya's fingers got stuck in, and Yao Wenyu bit him as if venting his anger.
"What are you afraid of?" Qiao Tianya let him bite, with a cold expression, "It's not your fault."
Yuan Zhuo, who was drunk last night, was very different. He briskly forgot the pain in his legs, and he reacted to the touch in the tub. Your son is also a human being. What he lost was his legs, not everything he had as a man. He is so young, and he also has secret desires that no one can tell. But he didn't even have the chance to slander himself, he was exposed to Qiao Tianya's eyes every night - but he didn't accept such an incompetent self at all.
"What's the matter," Qiao Tianya said fiercely, "Do you feel wronged because I'm not a woman? My skills aren't that bad, right?"
"Don't say it," Yao Wenyu showed pain. He was lying here and could only shout in a sullen voice, "Don't say it!"
The rattan chair that rolled to the side hit the small hanger, and the hanger leaned over and hit Qiao Tianya's back. He didn't even blink an eye. In the flickering candlelight, Qiao Tianya didn't know where he was angry.
"What do you think of yourself?" Qiao Tianya said, "Do you consider yourself an immortal? Is it wrong to have desires? You—"
"I don't!" Yao Wenyu's eyes were red, his voice trembling, and he said with extreme difficulty, "I don't have that... I don't need it!"
He can't be reduced to that level and kill the last decency. What does he have left? He only has this dignity, and this dignity supports him to sit in front of people, to sit in front of people with this weak posture, and to accept everyone's mercy.
Yao Wenyu shed tears in the trembling, which was something he was reluctant to do, but tears were no longer under his control like legs that couldn't stand. He was ashamed to face himself like this, just as he dared not face up to his remaining desires.
Qiao Tianya's chest heaved and he suddenly turned Yao Wenyu over.
Yao Wenyu had a premonition, his eyes widened in panic, he was held in his arms by Qiao Tianya from behind, and he took off his shirt. He struggled violently, pressed Qiao Tianya's arm, and said, "I don't want it! Qiao Songyue, let me go, let go—"
Qiao Tianya touched Yao Wenyu's hand, he dragged it into his palm, took it down, and held Yao Wenyu's shame by overlapping and covering it. He hugged Yao Wenyu like this, and when he crossed his neck, he heard Yao Wenyu crying.
The dim candlelight went out, and they were close together. Yao Wenyu's face was facing Su Su, and her cheeks were wet with unbearable shame and anger. There was a suppressed cry in his throat, that was the dignity he lost in the hands of Qiao Tianya, or that he saw himself clearly. He gasped in a whimper, his free hand tightly gripping Qiao Tianya's sleeve, and he felt the joy of being desecrated and crushed in Qiao Tianya's sliding palm.
"You killed me..." Yao Wenyuyi choked, he said hoarsely, "Qiao Songyue... I hate you so much..."
Qiao Tianya slid the palm of his hand, and in the darkness, he was close to Yuan Zhuo's side face, listening to Yao Wenyu's choking and whispering, as well as Yao Wenyu's gasping and snorting.
"You're right," Qiao Tianya whispered to him when he was trembling, said hoarsely and seriously, "hate me."
