Chapter 360: Fighting Local Tyrants


A secret decree made Liang Luoren happy first and then angry.He scolded Li Shimin in his heart for being insidious.Liang Luoren actually scolded the wrong person.The person who really came up with the idea is now sitting in the same room with him.Originally, in history, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Shuofang in the second year of Zhenguan.Liang Luoren also killed Liang Shidu and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty when the Tang soldiers were approaching Shuofang.Because of the original historical reference, Zhao Yunze believes that there is absolutely no problem in changing the flag of Shuofang now.Besides, he still has to use Shuo Fang's change of flag to make a fuss so that he can complete this secret mission.Therefore, Zhao Yunze gave Li Shimin the idea of letting Liang Luoren carry the black pot.Li Shimin is not a good bird, as soon as he heard Zhao Yunze's idea, he immediately fell into his mind, so he wrote the secret decree for Zhao Yunze to carry.Zhao Yunze said to Liang Luoren again: "I will answer Brother Liang's second question again."

The task entrusted by His Majesty is related to the Turks.As for how Brother Liang should assist X in completing this task, he just needs to listen to X and act at that time. ”"Brother Zhao has been sent, and he has an unshirkable responsibility."

Liang Luoren immediately said.Don't look at the good words on the face, but at this time, the depression in Liang Luoren's heart is even heavier.Okay, even if my dignified regent returns to the Tang Dynasty, he is still a third-grade official, and now he will obey Zhao Yunze, a seventh-grade official.However, the situation is stronger than people, Liang Luoren's surrender letter is still with Li Shimin, if he repents, then Datang only needs to send his surrender letter to Jieli, then he Liang Luoren will suffer.He offended both the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.With his Liang Luoren's small arms and legs, no matter which side the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are, they can crush him to death by pulling out their leg hair.Therefore, he can only go all the way to the dark and obey Li Shimin's will.Zhao Yunze and Liang Luoren agreed on a contact signal.The business that needs to be done is done.Zhao Yunze asked about Liang Luoren's situation in the past two years.Liang Luoren is really a traitorous male, although he recommended Liang Kang to the throne according to Zhao Yunze's intentions, but in the past two years, he, the regent, has firmly controlled the government.Under the side of Liang Kang's "emperor" throne is the seat of Liang Luoren, the regent.At first, Liang Kang also went to court on time.However, he only acted like a court meeting, and every time he met in the court, Liang Kang said the most about the two sentences: how does the emperor's uncle view this matter; Then do as Uncle Huang wants.Later, Liang Kang simply didn't even go to court, and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun in the harem every day.Liang Luoren did what he liked, and collected a large number of beauties and fun things from the people, which made Liang Kang even more difficult to extricate himself.And Liang Luoren has also become the de facto owner of Shuofang.Of course, Liang Luoren would not say that he deliberately corrupted Liang Kang.In his words, it was his Liang Luoren's care for the young emperor of the Liang Kingdom."

Hehe, Brother Liang is having a comfortable life.Compared with Brother Liang, it is simply a world of difference. ”Zhao Yunze sighed with emotion."

Don't you know, my brother has had a hard time, he has been married for two years, and he still owes foreign debts.My son, who was born last year, can't even afford to hire a wet nurse.can only let Humble Jing nurse herself.Alas, don't talk about this, it's all tears. ”When Liang Luoren heard Zhao Yunze's complaints, he didn't understand Zhao Yunze's hints.He immediately slapped his thigh and "complained" to Zhao Yunze: "Brother, the foolish brother is going to say a few words about you."

You are married to such an important matter, why don't you send someone to send a letter to so-and-so.Even if you can't leave to go to Chang'an to congratulate you, you can still send someone to send some congratulatory gifts to your brother."

I like, "Well, it's really my brother."

A certain made amends to Brother Liang," Zhao Yunze arched his hand towards Liang Luoren pretendly."

Brother Zhao doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this.It's also that he is too busy on weekdays and has less contact with Brother Zhao.It's wrong, so I'll make up a congratulatory gift for Brother Zhao. ”After Liang Luoren finished speaking, he shouted outside: "Someone is coming" A small guy walked in immediately."

What do you command" Liang Luoren put one hand into his sleeve, took out a bunch of keys, handed them to the little servant and said: "Please go to the princess, call the housekeeper, go to the treasury and get a box of gold." ”"No" The little guy took the key and left.Zhao Yunze quietly watched Liang Luoren's actions, and added a little understanding of Liang Luoren's character in his heart.This man is not only ambitious, but also very cautious.Look at him, the key to the treasury at home is actually carried with him, and it is not too cumbersome.Even if he asked people to go to the warehouse to pick up things, he had to call his wife and housekeeper again, he was obviously not worried about the people in the family, and after a while, the little guy came back with a small box.The small box is about seven or eight inches long, about four inches wide and high, and the exterior is also very beautifully painted, so that people can know that the box contains valuables at a glance.Liang Luoren took the small box, put it on the table and pushed it to Zhao Yunze, and said, "A little heart, Brother Zhao must not be too little." ”Zhao Yunze opened the box, and his eyes were suddenly flashed.A box full of yellow gold bars Although the Tang Dynasty used copper coins as legal tender, gold and silver are still precious metals.According to the current exchange ratio of gold, silver, and copper coins, one tael of silver can be exchanged for about 1,200 copper coins, and one tael of gold can be exchanged for nine taels of silver.Zhao Yunze estimated that this box of gold bars was worth four or five hundred copper coins.More than a year's worth of his own.Liang Luoren is really generous, and it can be seen that he has not scraped the land of Shuofang in the past two years.If he didn't have a bucket of water, how could he be so generous to give himself a glass of water, "Alas, Brother Liang, you really let your brother say what is good about you Since Brother Liang treats his brother so well, the brother can only accept it with a cheeky face." ”Zhao Yunze said with a greedy face."

Brother don't have to be polite, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty in the future, and the foolish brother will have to rely on the elder brother to take care of it" Liang Luoren was not hypocritical, and directly said his ultimate goal."

What do you say about taking care of it or not, Brother Liang is loyal to His Majesty, and His Majesty will not treat Brother Liang badly."

Zhao Yunze said.Now that the official and private affairs have been completed, Zhao Yunze didn't want to stay any longer, so he directly said goodbye to Liang Luoren: "Brother Liang, there are still many things on the mission's side, so I won't stay long."

In the future, you and my brother will have time to be close. ”"Hehe, then so-and-so won't delay Brother Zhao's time, and send Brother Zhao out of the house."

After Liang Luoren saw Zhao Yunze disappear, he spat fiercely in the direction where Zhao Yunze left."

It's really not a thing, and there is still time to get close, so it's better to meet a few times."

After Zhao Yunze returned to the post station, he showed the box of gold bars to Wen Yanbo.Wen Yanbo just glanced at it, and said indifferently: "Liang Luoren is afraid that he hates Peng Yu to death." ”"Hehe, he hates him, what's the matter with me This kind of local tyrant, if you don't blackmail, you don't blackmail."

Zhao Yunze looked indifferent.After speaking, he said to Wen Yanbo again: "Lord Wen, those who see it have a share, how about you and I divide it equally" Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Peng Yu is afraid that you will be too worried about exposing you, these gold are taken from Liang Luoren's hands, and they are not obtained by Peng Yu for taking bribes, even if His Majesty knows, he will not blame Peng Yu." ”"Master Wen thinks too much, I'm just embarrassed to accept so many good things alone."

Zhao Yunze was told by Wen Yanbo, and he was immediately a little embarrassed."

In that case, the old man is welcome."

Wen Yanbo smiled, picked up a gold bar and stuffed it into his sleeve."

Okay, the old man wants one is enough" "You don't take more" Zhao Yunze was surprised.I don't want the money sent to the door, is Old Man Wen stupid Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "These gold were brought by Peng Yu, and the old man didn't make any efforts, so he felt ashamed to take one." ”"That Lord Wen, as far as I know, your old life is not easy," Zhao Yunze said again.Zhao Yunze knew that although Wen Yanbo was a third-grade official, he had no other property in his family, and only relied on the income from the imperial court's income and the income from the office, and Lao Wen's living standard was only enough to eat and drink.Compared with other officials, this is already considered poor.Wen Yanbo said: "The old man is so old, and he can live for a few years to eat and drink, which is enough." ”"Then you don't want to save some money for your children and grandchildren" "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren."

If they are profitable, they don't need the old man to leave them money; If you don't have interest, it's useless to keep more money, and sooner or later it will be lost. ”Wen Yanbo said."

You can see it when you are old, this is great wisdom" Wen Yanbo smiled slightly, pushed the small box in front of Zhao Yunze again, and said: "Peng Yu put it away, you are still young, and there will be more places to use money in the future." ”"Hehe, you're welcome."

Zhao Yunze hugged the small box and left Wen Yanbo's room.Walking out of the door, he glanced at the direction of Liang Luoren's mansion, and said in his heart: In the future, Lao Liang will be my bank, and I will go to his house a few more times if I have nothing to do."

Ah sneeze" Liang Luoren, who was sulking at home, suddenly sneezed for no reason.The mission did not stay long in Shuofang City, and after only staying for one night, it was on the road again.The next day, the mission entered the realm.The troops sent by Youjieli have long been camped on the border.Seeing the arrival of the Datang mission, they hurriedly contacted the mission.The Turkic official who led the team was also an old acquaintance of Zhao Yunze.Jieli seems to attach great importance to the matter of trade with the Tang Dynasty, and actually sent the stubborn and powerful people to the border to meet the delegation.The status of the Turks is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he greets the Tang delegation at the border, which is already quite high.Wen Yanbo is naturally familiar with stubbornness.After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they did not linger any longer, and the Turkic army directly pulled out the camp and escorted the mission to continue to Yinshan, where the wolf tent of Jieli Khan was located
