Invincible son

Chapter 333 332 [Three Words]

Liu Renji is a native of Lingzhou, and his ability to secure this official position is also related to the connections behind him.Having worked with Xue Tao for 20 years, he knows the Fang Bo's temperament very well.

Looking back on the glorious years of those years, Xue Tao could indeed be regarded as a cadre with the potential to be a famous minister.He started as the county magistrate of an inferior county. He dared to do things without sticking to stereotypes and bad habits. He quickly stood out among the bureaucrats. A rising star in officialdom.

It was at that time that Liu Renji got acquainted with him, and after several talks, he was convinced by the ambition in his chest.

Later, Xue Tao was transferred back to Kyoto to participate in politics in the Eastern Mansion. Liu Renji thought that he could realize his ambition and become the prime minister in charge of the dynasty's political power.Unexpectedly, after only two years, Xue Tao left the capital and returned to Lingzhou to serve as the governor of Lingzhou.Although this is the leading official in Xinjiang, there has always been an unwritten rule in the officialdom of Daliang that no one who assassinates the history can be in power again.

Since then, Xue Tao's temperament has become more and more gloomy and cold. Coupled with the importance of Lingzhou, he gradually developed a self-centered mentality.

Today, there was a lot of gongs and drums outside the city, but Xue Tao, as the governor, stayed behind closed doors. Naturally, it was because Pei Yue had humiliated Xue Tao several times after he came to Lingzhou.

At this moment, Xue Tao's figure came out from the inner room.

Liu Renji heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried forward and said, "Uncle Fang, Envoy Pei Qin will arrive outside the city in the afternoon."

Xue Tao asked, "Didn't you already make arrangements?"

Liu Renji forced a smile and said: "The officer just made some preparations, but for such a big scene in the afternoon, Uncle Fang still needs to personally preside over it."

Xue Tao sneered, "What are you hosting?"

As soon as Liu Renji heard it, he knew that the governor did not want to show his face. After all, Pei Yue led the army to destroy the Western Wu cavalry, and it had nothing to do with Xue Tao.Moreover, before Pei Yue judged that the army of the Western Wuhui would violate the border, Xue Tao thought it would not, and the two memorials were sent to the imperial court at the same time. As a result, news of the start of the war came from the border within a few days, which naturally discredited Xue Tao.

Although in view of his identity, there was no imperial decree from the capital, but Emperor Kaiping still sent a secret letter from eight hundred miles away.Liu Renji hadn't read the secret letter, and only knew that Xue Tao's expression hadn't softened in the next few days, and the entire Governor's Mansion was immersed in an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

Seeing that he was full of anger, Liu Renji had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Uncle Fang, if you don't want to come forward, then all the credit for this will fall into the hands of that kid. Of course, Uncle Fang will not be interested in such a small amount of credit. He will not lower his status to compete with a junior, but if the situation is left to Pei Yue's control, what will happen to the people of Lingzhou? He has been traveling slowly, publicizing his achievements all over the world, and making himself a great hero who saves the people of Lingzhou. He even said that he wanted to recruit soldiers in Lingzhou, his ambition is not small."

Xue Tao frowned slightly. Ever since he failed in the power struggle in the capital and was expelled to Lingzhou, he regarded this place as his own garden and never allowed anyone to touch it.

The reason why he wanted to seize the monopoly of briquettes from the Charcoal Temple was largely due to this mentality.

Seeing his hesitation, Liu Renji hit the iron while the iron was hot and said, "Uncle Fang, the Pei family has no foundation in Lingzhou, and can only rely on a few hundred soldiers. But if he is allowed to take advantage of the momentum of annihilating the Wu army cavalry this time, make further progress in Lingzhou." Expand your influence and recruit a large number of local young people into the army, how do you know that he won't become a downhill tiger?"

Xue Tao was finally moved, and said sternly: "You are right, as the governor of Lingzhou, I will naturally go to meet this imperial envoy who has made great achievements."

Liu Renji wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly arranged the ceremony.

In the afternoon, lights and festoons were displayed outside the city of Xingyang, and a red carpet was spread from the front of the governor's mansion to five miles outside the city.

At the end of the red carpet was a gazebo, the governor Xue Tao, the imperial envoy Qin Xu and a group of officials were waiting here, surrounded by hundreds of guards.

On the side of the road are the dignitaries and dignitaries in Xingyang City, and ordinary people can't get close to them at all.

There were many people standing near the base of the city wall in the distance, among them was a tall young man dressed as a scholar, but his eyes were particularly sharp.Standing next to him were a few hulking men, who vaguely surrounded him, separating him from the people beside him.

He is Wang Liyang.

When the news of Chen Xizhi and Wei Dongqi's defeat came, he immediately concealed the strength in his hands.

According to the previous discussion with Chen Xizhi, when the latter is dealing with Pei Yue, he should gather all his hands to assassinate Xue Tao.As long as Xue Tao dies, the entire territory of Lingzhou will fall into chaos in a short period of time. Even if the imperial court immediately sends someone to take over, it will take time to understand and prepare.With such a long period of power vacuum, the West Wu people have many ways to continue to disrupt the situation in Lingzhou.

However, compared to Pei Yue who frequently led troops out, Xue Tao was very careful about his life. The governor's mansion was heavily guarded and water could not be poured in. Even if he went out occasionally, he would bring hundreds of personal guards with him like today.

Naturally, Wang Liyang didn't know that when the border war started, Xue Tao immediately strengthened his guards. After all, he has been an official in Lingzhou for more than [-] years, and he knows how many spies from Western Wu there are here.

"Young master, here we come."

A strong man whispered beside him.

Wang Liyang looked up, and saw that the crowd suddenly became agitated, and many people squeezed forward desperately, wanting to have a closer look at that brave and invincible young imperial envoy.

He couldn't help clenching his hands into fists, feeling extremely sad and angry in his heart.

Wei Dongqi had three hundred Wang's children under his command, they were all Wang Liyang's relatives, and now they all died at the hands of Pei Yue, how could he not hate it?

With the sound of war drums, Zang Fengwei finally appeared outside Xingyang City.

Pei Yue rode his horse at the front, followed by five sentry officers. As for Ye Qi, he didn't want to show his face at such a moment, and hid in the team behind Pei Yue.

Liu Renji stepped forward to greet Xue Tao on behalf of Xue Tao. After some polite greetings, Pei Yue dismounted and walked towards the gazebo.

Xue Tao got up slowly, and said with a serious smile: "Pei Qin sent a great service this time, and I will act as a representative to the court and personally ask for your credit."

Pei Yue stood still in front of him, shook his head slightly and said: "Lord Xue, it's just annihilation of [-] Western Wu cavalry, so don't bother your lord with such trivial matters, I will explain the whole story to Your Majesty."

Xue Tao's face turned red, and he faintly regretted that he shouldn't have come today.

Pei Yue said indifferently: "Thank you, my lord, for coming out of the city to greet you personally. Pei Yue is very grateful. Your Majesty ordered me to be the Commander of the Tibetan Front Guard, and I have already decided to set up a temporary station in Linqing County. The reason why I came to Xingyang specially is because I have three things in mind. Please help me, my lord."

"What's the matter?"

"First, the Zang Fengwei captured more than a thousand heads in this battle. I am going to build a capital outside the city of Xingyang. With the hearts of the people in Anlingzhou and the spirit of the Wu barbarians in the west, I will comfort the spirits of the fallen soldiers in heaven."

Xue Tao looked at Pei Yue's calm and firm expression, and nodded slowly.

Pei Yue continued: "Secondly, there are more than two hundred thieves colluding with the Western Wu people. I want to expose their crimes in Xingyang, and I will punish them and kill them!"

Xue Tao remained silent.

The officials behind him turned pale with shock, and secretly lamented how ruthless this young imperial envoy was!
Qin Xu stood aside and looked at Pei Yue quietly, suddenly feeling like he was getting old.

Pei Yue didn't wait for Xue Tao's response, and continued to say firmly: "Thirdly, His Majesty ordered me to recruit troops in Lingzhou, and I have already spread the news. Now that the big battle is coming, I don't have much time to argue with the local state capital. I also invite Mr. Xue Issue a decree to let all the state governments cooperate and not obstruct those young talents who want to join the Zangfengwei!"

He stared closely at Xue Tao's eyes, and slowly asked: "Master Xue, you won't object?"

　Tomorrow (Saturday) I will take a day off to take a rest with my family, and it will be three shifts on Sunday.Thank you for your support, I am really tired recently, let me take a rest, thank you!
