That night, Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi came to Qu Hui's mansion with gifts, and were led into the mansion after being notified by the door.
Lu Qi was indignant and whispered to Guo Ziyi: "This Qu Hui is so arrogant, but he didn't even come out to greet him."
Guo Ziyi said in a low voice: "Be patient, you are just a Hongluqing.
I, the great lieutenant, are treated like this.
You say I am wronged or not, but what can we do now to get the matter done first, and then we can do it later?"
Let’s settle the score with them.”
Lu Qi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Dashuai Guo is right, I will settle accounts with them in the future."
The two came to the front hall, and Qu Hui greeted them at the front door.
He held his fists and laughed and said: "Hahaha, Marshal Guo and Master Lu are here to visit.
I would have been a little disappointed to welcome them.
Please forgive me, forgive me."
Guo Ziyi cupped her fists and returned the salute: "General Qu, you're welcome.
I took the liberty to bother you late at night.
I shouldn't have waited.
If there is any inconvenience, please forgive me for it, General Qu."
Qu Hui did not say any more polite words and invited Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi into the front hall to talk.
He also ordered his servants to bring tea and lit a charcoal fire in the room to keep warm.
The temperature in the room quickly rose.
After sending the people away, Qu Hui said: "As a subordinate of General Liang, I should not have met with Taiwei and Mr.
Lu alone to avoid causing criticism.
However, Taiwei and Mr.
Lu deigned to come late at night.
I will act as a local landowner if two It would be too unkind to turn you away.
If you are just here to drink tea, I will be happy to entertain you.
But if you are here to lobby and let me persuade General Liang, you will still be exempted.
It’s good to respect your words.
I can’t be General Liang’s boss.”
Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi were mentally prepared before they came, but they didn't expect that Qu Hui made it clear from the beginning.
Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi looked at each other.
Guo Ziyi signaled to Lu Qi to speak first, and Lu Qi smiled and said to Qu Hui: "General Qu has misunderstood.
Marshal Guo and I did not come here tonight to ask General Qu to come forward to persuade Liang Chongyi to send troops to relieve Xiangyang."
"around" Qu Hui was confused and frowned: "Then what are you doing here?"
Guo Ziyi, who was drinking tea, stopped and asked: "General Qu, does he know where General Lai's family members are now?
How are they doing?"
Qu Hui warned: "What do you want to do?
General Lai Ai is dead.
Why don't you let his family go?"
Lu Qi said: "General Qu, please be patient.
The imperial court does not intend to harm the general's family.
On the contrary, the imperial court wants to comfort them."
Qu Hui sneered: "Hey, the sun is really shining in the west.
With eunuchs like Ju Wenzhen making trouble in the court, the court will be so kind."
Lu Qi suddenly said: "Ju Wenzhen has been thrown into the sky prison and is not far from death."
"Uh."
The expression on Qu Hui's face froze, and then he said angrily: "Lu Qi, do you think this general is a three-year-old child who would use such clumsy tricks to deceive me?"

Guo Ziyi was also quite surprised.
When he came out, Ju Wenzhen and the eunuchs were still fine.
How come Ju Wenzhen was imprisoned in a short period of time?
However, he was a mature and prudent person.
Although he was shocked in his heart, he did not show it on his face at all.
After Lu Qi took a sip of tea, he looked at Qu Hui and said with a smile: "General Qu, there is no need to be angry.
Although I, Lu Qi, am ugly, I am not stupid enough to use this little trick to deceive the general on his territory."
General, do you know the current situation in the imperial court?
Do you know who is in charge now?"
Qu Hui was stunned again and asked: "How could it be that the emperor died and Prince Li Shi ascended the throne?"
Lu Qi said: "No, in this small place in Dengzhou, Liang Chongyi did not listen to the court's dispatches and orders, and blocked the news.
The general's news was too ill-informed.
Two months ago, the King of Western Qin returned to Chang'an, and the emperor appointed him The regent has full power to handle all military and political affairs of the court.
Therefore, the regent is now in charge of the court.
The emperor had retreated to the palace and no longer paid attention to military and political affairs.
After the regent took over, the situation in the court changed drastically.
First, the eunuchs were deprived of their military power, and then the accounts were audited, and the radish was pulled out of the mud.
A large number of corrupt officials were imprisoned and their homes were ransacked; then Fengxiang Army attacked Sha Zhali, the deputy envoy of Jiedu.
He led a rebellion, but was defeated by the regent.
In addition to Li Baoyu, the Jiedu envoy, who was dismissed from his post and thought about his mistakes, more than 10,000 people in the Fengxiang army were executed.
General Qu, you were also a close confidant of General Lai back then.
General Lai served under the regent.
Having served under his command for many years, you should be very familiar with the regent's methods.
The Tang Dynasty will no longer tolerate chaos.
Any vassal town that opposes the imperial court and does not obey the imperial court's dispatches and orders will be mercilessly wiped out.
You think you are safe if you stay in Dengzhou.
Li Zhongchen and his like are just jumping the gun.
He's just a clown.
As long as the regent makes a move, Li Zhongchen will die without a burial place."
These words made Qu Hui feel that his momentum was suppressed.
He suppressed the huge wave of fear in his heart and said to himself: "Master Lu, don't scare me.
I, Qu Hui, am not scared."
Lu Qi smiled and said: "General, Lu is not trying to scare you.
Today is different from the past.
When Lu came out, the regent had already issued a decree to rectify the administration of officials, and first began to implement it in all the yamen of the imperial court.
A large number of corrupt officials After the fall of the horse, many new people came to the throne, and the atmosphere of the court suddenly changed. .
The distinction between flattery and flattery is no longer tenable in the court.
The eunuchs are now hiding in the palace and trembling, but sooner or later they will all be executed for rebelling against Feng Xiang's army.
This is already a big deal.
This shocked the morale of the army, and all military power was returned to the Regent's Palace.
All parties in the court The powerful and aristocratic families have completely lost their military power, and they can no longer afford to make any big waves.
And now the regent is vigorously training the imperial army.
Once the training is completed, at least I don’t believe that anyone in the world will dare to go against the imperial court.
The regent Your ability to command troops, General, are you clear?
Therefore, in the future, Chu will have no future in obeying the imperial government's decrees, obeying the instructions, and blatantly opposing and confronting the imperial court.

This is the general trend, even if the general does not consider the future, wealth and life of his soldiers, he must also consider it.
Think about your own wife, children, and children.”
"The regent was very sad about the death of General Lai.
He said that General Lai died unjustly.
It was not the court that was responsible for Lai's death, but people like Ju Wenzhen who slandered the emperor.
The regent also said, Even if Lai Ai died unjustly, this could never be the reason for his soldiers to resist and rebel against the court.
The court spent so much effort and money on it.
This army was trained and formed only by the physical and material resources.
This is how it treats the imperial court.
To put it more seriously, this is ungrateful.
Lai Ai was indeed unjust.
Could it be that the Dengzhou Army turned against the imperial court because he was unjustly accused?
Is this army loyal to the imperial court or not?
Loyal to Lai as an individual.
If Deng Zhoujun was only loyal to Lai as an individual, then his death would not be unjust."
Qu Hui fell into deep thought.
Lu Qi then took out a roll of yellow cloth from the brocade box he brought with him and handed it over.
Qu Hui looked at the roll of yellow cloth and asked, "What is this?"
"The edict to rehabilitate Zhaoxue" Lu Qi waited for Qu Hui to take the edict and continued: "Under the auspices of the regent, the imperial court rehabilitated Lai Ai.
In addition to Lai Ai, there were also Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi.
People.
Lai Ai's descendants were promoted to noble positions, and his family members were also granted imperial titles.
This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for him.
Although Ai's life cannot be saved because of these, his descendants still have to live, no. "?"
At this time Guo Ziyi said: "General Qu, not everyone in the court is a treacherous minister who flatters, flatters, and frames loyal ministers.
Most of the ministers and officials are good, and there are only a handful of treacherous ministers.
If all of them are treacherous ministers, Can this world still be like this?
I believe that when Lai Yi’s spirit in heaven saw this edict to vindicate Zhao Xue, he should have smiled."
Qu Hui held the edict in his hands and knelt down on the ground crying: "General, have you seen it?
The court said you were wronged.
They said you were wronged."
When Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi saw Qu Hui's appearance, they realized his loyalty and affection for Lai Ai.
They felt a lot of emotions in their hearts, especially for Guo Ziyi.
Any general who commands the army does not want his generals to be loyal to him.
But then again, if the generals' loyalty to the generals exceeds their loyalty to the court, it will become a hidden danger.
This also proves the truth that things must be reversed when they are extreme.
Qu Hui cried for a while, got up, put away the edict, wiped away his tears and asked Guo Ziyi and Lu Qi: "What do you want me to do when the regent sent Marshal and Master Lu here?"
Guo Ziyi did not speak, and Lu Qi had no choice but to be the villain himself, "General Qu, as far as I know, you and Du Shaocheng were Lai Ai's tooth generals back then.
In terms of military rank and rank, you and Du Shaocheng are indeed better than the right soldiers at that time.
Liang Chongyi, the horse envoy, is lower, but you are directly under Lai Yi and have no deep friendship with Liang Chongyi.
After Lai Yi died, you two were willing to join his subordinates.
This is because he claimed to avenge Lai Yi. no" Qu Hui nodded and said: "Yes, if he hadn't said that he wanted to avenge the general, how could the two of us submit to him when he was marching?
Sima Pang Chong and other generals would submit to him, let alone him.
Killed Xue Nanyang, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and defeated the marching Sima Pangchong."
Lu Qi asked: "Then after he gathered all the ministries, did he avenge Lai Yi?"

Qu Hui shook his head sadly after hearing this.
Lu Qi slapped his thigh: "Isn't that right?
Lai Ai has been dead for four or five years, and Liang Chongyi has not made any movements until now.
If he was really serious, he would have taken action long ago.
It can be seen that he was just pretending to be here.
Under the banner of revenge, Deng Zhoujun gathered around and took control, reaching him.
The purpose of separatist kingship is that the imperial court will never tolerate these people who separatist kings.
Liang Chongyi must be punished, Dengzhou Army must return to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and Dengzhou must also return to the imperial court.
General Qu, it is you now.
It’s time to make a statement to the Prince Regent”:
