The world of film and television

chapter 538

In the past month, Li Shantang has been proud of his horseshoe disease. Since the call to action came to the capital, Li Shantang has become more embarrassing than before.

All day long, he was either visiting this one or that one, or simply receiving other visitors in the mansion, almost blatantly flaunting Wang Xuan's banner.

The problem is that when you go up to the royal family and down to the four major parties, it seems like you are blind, you just can't see it.

Taichang passed away and Tianqi ascended the throne. Although the current Tianqi has not successfully changed his job as a carpenter, he himself has no rights.

It should have been influenced by Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao's mother-in-law Hakka, but Wei Zhongxian, who was promoted to the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, is not as powerful as in history. After being drunk in the world, he took care of Zhu Youxiao in every possible way for two years, which made this serious Oedipus The emperor of the plot transferred a lot of emotions to Zui Hongchen.

With the help of a young eunuch sent by Wang Xuan to the palace, Zui Hongchen is not as powerful as the Ke family, but the difference is not too big.

Without Wei Zhongxian, an unrecognizable Quan eunuch to fight against those ministers in the court, most of the power fell into the hands of the cabinet. There is a saying that Wei Zhongxian is responsible for the death of the Ming Dynasty, and there is some truth to it.

Regardless of the fact that the four major factions have basically controlled the Ming regime and are at odds with Wang Xuan, it is impossible to say that there is no room for euphemism.

At least, they would not touch Li Shantang. They would rather let him promote Wang Xuan in Beijing than completely cut off Wang Xuan's tentacles.

To put it bluntly, what these people who engage in politics like most is to leave room for escape, and where there is any real mortal enemy, who knows when they will seek the so-called mortal enemy.

As if thinking about it, Wang Xuan inexplicably annihilated Yang He's army head-on, which made the members of the four major parties secretly rejoice when they cursed endlessly, that they did not offend Li Shantang completely, and there was still room for maneuver.

Speaking of it, this is the essence of the political struggles in China for thousands of years, so we should stay on the front line so that we can meet each other in the future.

Now, as soon as the battle outside the city is over, the traffic in front of Li Shantang's mansion immediately becomes bustling. It is even more downtown than the troubled area. The entire road is tightly blocked by carriages and sedan chairs, saying that all the dignitaries in Beijing are coming. It's a bit exaggerated, but more than half of it is still there.

Even if they didn't come, they either had something to do with them a long time ago, or they asked someone to send them greeting cards and congratulatory gifts.

Just after seeing off a group of people, Li Shantang took a sip from his teacup, leaned back on the chair tiredly, and the maid behind him rubbed his temples.

"How many people are there?" Li Shantang asked in a low voice with his eyes closed.

"I don't know the details, but there are still more than 100 people." The butler said in a low voice with a smile on the corner of his mouth. After winning the battle, Li Shantang trembled. He, the butler, also rose with the tide. It will be several times more, and each one will be extremely generous.

After all, everyone knows that Li Shantang can't meet so many people, most of them can only send greeting cards and gifts, but at this critical moment, it is best to be able to meet face-to-face.

And to climb Wang Xuan, this is already the last chance.

"These people are really annoying, why did you go early?" Li Shantang complained, but there was no hint of anger in his words, and he seemed to be enjoying it.

……

People love the new and dislike the old. There is a constant flow of people on Li Shantang's side, but the four major parties' side is extremely deserted. Those who come to visit on weekdays have all gone to another temple today.

"Father, what shall we do? All those grasses are rushing to Li Shantang. If things go on like this, before the Guan Ning Army brings the Jurchen and Tatar troops over, the city of Beijing may not be able to defend it! "

"You think the city of Beijing can't stand it?" asked the gray-bearded old man in his sixties.

"I'm sure I can't keep it. The 20 troops in the Beijing camp are all nonsense. They are either old, weak, sick, or on empty pay. The remaining 13 is considered too much. Only these people can do work. What about fighting Yes, it won’t happen a long time ago!” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, and said with a bit of hatred: “I haven’t paid attention to these things before. Recently, I ordered the people below to investigate carefully. Sucks."

"Just these people, even if they have the power of the city wall, they can't stop Wang Xuan's tiger and wolf army. Moreover, those guys who have something to do with Wang Xuan have spread the news about Wang Xuan in the army early on. Given twenty mu of land, the food and salary are three to five times that of Ming Dynasty, and the food and salary are guaranteed to be sufficient, and there is no need for hereditary military registration. Now, I don’t know how many people are paying attention to surrender!"

The more he talked, the more frustrated the middle-aged man became, "This is not counting the gunpowder that Wang Xuan used in Tianjin Wei. The city walls of Tianjin Wei were blown down, and the city walls of Beijing couldn't stand it either. It's just one or two more times!"

"Then what do you think should be done?" The old man asked calmly. The more he was at this time, the more he could see how good the heir was.

"Run, this capital city can't be kept, and Wang Xuan's murderous madness is unreasonable at all. There is a saying that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and cannot entrust his personal safety on the enemy. Firewood!" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked at the old man with piercing eyes.

The old man nodded first, then shook his head. Seeing that his son was unclear, he said: "Gao Panlong's story is not for us, but for outsiders. At this moment, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army. Always give it to us." Let’s all think about it, otherwise, all the officials in the court, Chinese and military, and the dignitaries in Beijing and all walks of life will immediately become chaotic."

The middle-aged man blinked, damn it, you old tricksters!
"Then what's the countermeasure?" A glimmer of hope rose in the middle-aged, the old slickers always have all kinds of backhands!
The old man smiled and shook his head, "This time, there are really no more! The situation of each family is different. There is a saying that a husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when a disaster comes. Now, it is a disaster!"

O(≧口≦)O

The middle-aged man's face darkened when he heard the words, and he didn't have the ability to end it. Why did you make it so big in the first place!It's a scam, right?
"Father, what shall we do?" Thinking that Wang Xuan would enter the city at any time, the middle-aged man couldn't stay for a moment!

"Whenever there is a major event, be calm, don't be in a hurry, and wait until it gets dark." The old man said calmly.

The sky is getting darker. Due to the battle outside the city, today's Beijing city is extremely deserted at night. Both the common people and the rich and young people who used to miss the flowers all hid at home early tonight, for fear of any accidents at night.

A group of people moved towards the gate of the city silently and quickly. The army had already ordered that in order to prevent spies from leading the enemy into the city at night, no one was allowed to enter or leave the city gates. Anyone who approached the gate at night would be killed without mercy. .

So, when the old man came to the city gate, he opened the city gate and walked out swaggeringly...

"Going out of the city at night, is this to see Wang Xuan?" The middle-aged man exploded directly, isn't this a self-inflicted trap?

"Be more mature, I have no grievances with Wang Xuan, why can't I go to see him!?" The old man turned back confidently.

It didn't take much time from the beginning to the end of a big battle, but after the battle, collecting the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield, they were busy until dark.

That's it, it's just a hasty mess, and there is no time to dig a hole to bury the corpse.

Let's talk about camping and post-war pensions... No, there is no pension. Except for a few who fell and injured themselves, the rest can't even find a few minor injuries, but the reward for the head needs a lot of money.

Wang Xuan didn't intend to arrange for people to set up camp, so he directly borrowed Yang Hejun's, anyway, they wouldn't need it anymore.

"My lord, someone outside is asking to see you."

"Who made you look like this." Sun Chuanting's unbelievable expression made Wang Xuan curious.

"Qi Dang, the leader of the party, Qi Shijiao." There was no outsider in the big tent, so Sun Chuanting said it directly.

"I didn't expect that he would be the first to come. It's interesting!" Wang Xuan guessed that many people would come to visit tonight, and all of them had identities. Otherwise, there would be no chance to leave the city. It will come unexpectedly, and get up so early.

This old man is straightforward enough!

"Invite people in."

After a while, an old man who was a little thin, with an old face and white beard and hair came in, and when he saw Wang Xuan, he fell to his knees with a 'thump', and bowed down, "I've seen Mr. Wuzhou in Qi Shijiao."

Not to mention that Wang Xuan did not expect this scene, even Sun Chuanting and Qi Shijiao's son were shocked.

Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Party, and a world-renowned Confucian, although he can't be said to be unbiased in the court, but he is also one of the people at the pinnacle of power. With his status, the only ones who can make him kneel down to salute are the emperor and the dead!
Then the problem is coming!

"Master Qi, don't be like this, get up quickly!" Wang Xuan frowned, pursed his lower lip, shameless, ruthless enough!

Before Qi Shijiao could respond, his son exploded, glared at Wang Xuan angrily, and stretched out his hand to pull his father, "Father, how could you..."

"Snapped!"

Qi Shijiao is not young, and his hands are not weak. Kneeling there and attacking back, his son's head was buzzing, and he almost fell to the ground when he staggered.

"Nie Zhan, kneel down for me and salute Mr. Wuzhou!" Qi Shijiao shouted sharply, staring at his dangling son.

Wang Xuan blinked, and then smiled in admiration. He is really old and cunning, and he gave Qi Shijiao a thumbs up, "Master Qi, you are ruthless, I like it, but we are almost done. Hurry up, this is going to spread, I really thought I did something to you!"

Sun Chuanting looked at Wang Xuan in bewilderment, this is the minister of the current cabinet, the leader of the Qi Party, and he is over 60 years old.
Turning to look at Qi Shijiao again, Wang Xuan said a few words, but as if nothing happened, he said with a smile: "Then thank you, Mr. Wuzhou."
