Chapter 42 Li Wangchuhui (1)(2/2)
Li Yanqing once met Fan Zigai, but had never dated him.
Therefore, he was surprised when he saw Fan Zigai sitting in the cabin and even made a green plum wine. The boat was not luxurious, but elegant. However, Fan Zigai described it as a rough and luxurious one. Sitting in such a simple and elegant environment, it made people feel a little abrupt.
"Langjun Li, sit down."
Fan Zigai carefully cooked wine and said without raising his head.
Cooking wine is also a kind of elegant thing from ancient times.
Li Yanqing took off his boots, walked into the cabin, and knelt beside Fan Zigu.
"I'm looking for you today, not to judge heroes. But when I was watching the Three Kingdoms two days ago, Feng Feng made a chapter of wine and saw a few green plums growing in the garden, so I became a little interested. People say that I, Fan Zigai, is a killer, but I can't help but feel moved when I'm in this elegant event. I heard that you came to Luoyang, so I just waited here. How about it, have you ever seen Grandma Duan? What are you getting?"
Fan Zigai and Duan Da seem to be incompatible, so they even publicly call him Grandma Duan.
In fact, people in Luoyang know that Duan Dahao calls Fan Zigai a killer, while Fan Zigai likes to call him Grandma Duan.
Li Yanqing felt a sense of pain in his heart. He really didn't know what Fan Zigai was trying to come to him. But he could hear that the two seemed to have conflicts. Wouldn't Fan Zigai bring him up now to put himself in the opposite direction of Duan Da? If he had known this, Yan Qing would have tried to refuse.
But since he has arrived, Yan Qing doesn't feel good about regretting it anymore.
He sighed in his heart and said, "General Duan seems to be quite dissatisfied with the young general and his words are very cold. So after the young general reports, he says goodbye and leaves. How can he get what he get?"
"Hmph, that's true!"
Fan Zigai smiled, "Grandma Duan seems to have made a decision."
He scooped a spoonful of wine from the cauldron, filled the copper lord in front of Li Yanqing, and then turned his head and said softly: "Drive the boat!"
The boat shook slightly and slowly left the bridge.
Follow Luoshui and walk along Luopu.
In early spring, the drizzle is drizzling.
The green willows on both sides of the shore are like girls covered with a layer of gauze, standing graceful and dancing in the wind.
Fan Zigai took a sip of green plum wine and said to Yan Qing: "I will set off in three days and go to Hedong. After Lao Zhang passed away, I wanted to recommend you to take over as the ambassador for arrest. It was just because you were famous and had won many achievements in several battles, so you were the most suitable candidate.
But unexpectedly, I was suddenly transferred to Hedong and couldn't help but be caught off guard.
I had a good intention, but now it has become a bad thing. I had already convinced Lao Lu that you have taken over as the ambassador to arrest the position, and it is quite obvious. But now, it has become a little trouble... I also know the purpose of your visit to Luoyang this time. You don’t need to worry about Lao Lu. But Lao Yuan and Duan Da may support Wang Shichong. Your trouble is not small."
Yan Qing heard this and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Yuan Wendu has made a decision?
He didn't want to hide the purpose of this trip, and he couldn't hide it.
He came to Luoyang to run for office! Who can't see such a thing?
Although I don’t know why Fan Zigai was willing to help him, Yan Qing was still very grateful.
He looked up and asked, "General Fan, is it really irreversible?"
The young general also knew that he was not qualified enough. But the young general said boldly: No one in Xingyang County can take on this important task.
Wang Shichong, the young general doesn't understand.
But the young general had a confrontation with the ant thief, and he was also aware of the situation in Xingyang County. If the young general served as the ambassador of Henan to arrest him, he would be able to pacify Wagang within a year."
This way of being an official sometimes must be taken as a private person.
Although Fan Zigai left, he was Yang Guang's favorite minister. Li Yanqing knew that his situation was not good now, but he still understood it. It is one thing to take it or not, and he must show his desire for this position.
“I know, you are the most suitable candidate now.
But you have to understand that Wang Shichong's merits may not be worse than you. He has the military achievements of pacifying Liu Yuanjin, Ge Qian and Lu Mingyue, and has always been by Your Majesty. The most important thing is that behind him is the Taiyuan Wang family who supports him. Compared with him, you are a little weak.
I'll call you today, there are three things."
Yan Qing hurriedly said, "I wish to hear the general's teachings."
"First, I have asked the King of Dai to obtain reinforcements, summoning the left-level general Pang Yu and Huo Shiju, general Huo Ben Lang, to lead two troops to the Dongdu. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the garrison of the Dongdu, and on the other hand, it is also because they are old and can control Wang Shichong."
The general of the gatekeeper is from the third rank; the general of the Hu Ben Lang is from the fourth rank.
Li Yanqing looked at Fan Zigai in shock, revealing a strange look.
It seems that Fan Zigai doesn't seem to be very relieved to Wang Shichong...
Fan Zigai seemed to have not seen him, and continued: "Secondly, Li Mi claimed to be the King of Wei in Wagang and had raised the banner of rebellion. I speculated that after he became king, he would definitely take action. Xingyang County is the gateway to the eastern capital and is of great importance. Once Xingyang County is lost, the impact will definitely be immeasurable.
Therefore, I hope that no matter whether you can be the Henan envoy to seek arrest, you will do your best to protect Xingyang and Luokou Cang.
After all, you are still the General Ying Yanglang of the Black Stone Mansion. You must not forget your personal gains and losses. Do you understand?"
Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed and said, "The young general will do his best to defend Xingyang."
However, he felt a different taste from Fan Zigai's words.
Could it be that... I still have a chance?
Sure enough, Fan Zigai nodded with a smile, showing a look of satisfaction.
"As for the position of Henan to challenge the ambassador, you are actually not without a chance.
But the object you are paying attention to is a bit biased. Yes, the three left-behind assistants do have the responsibility to recommend the candidates. But you have to remember that whether it is Yuan Wendu, Lao Lu and Duan Da, or even His Highness, they are just recommendations, not decisions.
The one who truly decides is Your Majesty... If Your Majesty thinks Wang Shichong is suitable, no one can stop him; if Your Majesty thinks he is not suitable... Haha, even if it is recommended by three left-behind ministers, it is useless. Instead of trying to do anything in Luoyang, it is better to think about how to make Your Majesty agree with him."
Yan Qing couldn't help but let out a soft cry!
He suddenly felt that he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning.
The person who decided to take charge of the ambassador was not in Luoyang, not in Chang'an, but in... Jiangdu!
