Chapter 436
As the Southern Zhou Dynasty with the weakest force among the Three Kingdoms, spending money to buy peace is an established national policy.

Every year in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, tribute is paid to the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which is called New Year's gift.

The congratulatory gift is very valuable, and Xu will personally review the gift list every year.

And the person who gave the gift is the emperor of the two countries.

He Lianfeng and Li Mi opened the presents and looked at them one by one.

An aphrodisiac...

Are you mocking me for not being a man?

Nian Xu's face turned red.

He asked himself, if he received such a congratulatory gift, he would probably explode in anger.

Han Bi said: "More than that, the man also left a note. I don't know what was written on it. I know the general meaning... His Majesty heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was weak, so he gave a gift of aphrodisiac..."

This is slapping Li Mi in the face, it's a shame and a shame!
Nian Xu took a deep breath, "Who did it?"

Han Bi said, "That man is dead."

He slowly looked at Peng Jing and Fang Chong, "Does Prime Minister Peng know?"

Peng Jing frowned, "What do you mean by that? This old man is also hearing about this for the first time."

Han Bi sneered, "I heard about this for the first time? Since the start of the New Deal, you have taken frequent actions to obstruct it. But the New Deal has won the hearts of the people, and His Majesty fully supports it, so someone came up with a way..."

Nian Xu looked gloomy.

"Since there is no way to stop the New Deal, why not find another way? To anger Datang, once Datang sends troops, you can impeach him accordingly. This is a disaster caused by the New Deal."

Sun Shi fired, "I want to ask, in your eyes, what about Da Zhou?"

Han Bi sneered and said, "In the eyes of these people, what does Da Zhou have to do with them? The New Deal and New Deal ruined their good deeds, so they didn't hesitate to smash Da Zhou to death...I would rather be a lackey of the Tang people!"

"Han Bi!" Peng Jing narrowed his eyes, "Who gave you the courage to slander this old man in court? Do you want to be a powerful minister?"

Nian Xu was silent, holding his right hand tightly.

"Slander?" Han Bi took a step forward, "Among the officials who prepared the gift, one committed suicide the day before yesterday, which is said to be corruption. Do you think you can cover up this matter by paying off the coordinator? The old man has good hands around him, and he can see it at a glance." Said the man's neck was broken..."

"Who killed him?" Sun Shi hugged the wat board and said, "This old man sees it as murder to silence him!"

"Investigate!" Peng Jing raised his head, "If it is found out that the old man did it, the old man will pay for his life. If not, Your Majesty." He saluted Nian Xu, "Your Majesty, please be the master."

In the end, he was dumped to Nian Xu.

But what can he do?
scold?

Without evidence, he dared to beg for bones if he dared to reprimand Peng Jing, and then those who opposed the New Deal would roar, and the whole Bianjing would be in a state of panic.

Therefore, all he can do is: "Check!"

Peng Jing stepped back with a calm face.

Disperse later.

Peng Jing and Fang Chong went to their room together.

"Who did it?" Peng Jing asked.

Fang Chong shook his head, "I don't know either."

"You should know." Peng Jing suppressed his anger, "Without Zaifu's approval, how could they dare to do such a big thing? Otherwise, when the thunder strikes, who can protect them?"

Fang Chong said a little uncomfortable: "This matter is the hands and feet of some people below."

"You..." The veins on Peng Jing's forehead bulged, "That's Datang! To humiliate Li Mi is to humiliate Datang. You don't know what consequences this action will bring?"

Fang Chong said indifferently: "Your Majesty is determined to go his own way. Sun Shi and others are ambitious and have sinister intentions... The so-called New Deal is just to peel off the skin from us. Do you know how many people outside are dissatisfied? If you ignore it, those people It will growl, it will... rebel!"

"They have no soldiers in their hands, so they rebelled?" Peng Jing resisted the urge to slap the case, "This time Li Mi was angered, and the army is overwhelming, aren't you afraid of the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"Peng Xianggao saw Datang." Fang Chong said with a smile: "First, the Southern Border Army has only a few troops, and they dared to send troops because the Southern Border Rebel Army has recently stopped their banners and drums.

When the two sides are in a stalemate, our people will encourage them, and the southern border rebels will take advantage of the trend.At that time, the southern border army will be attacked from both sides, and this battle... a great victory can be expected!
Secondly, Daliao will not sit back and watch Datang destroy Dazhou. I bet that when Dazhou is in danger, Helian Feng will go crazy. He knows that once Datang loses the enemy of Dazhou, he will be able to devote all his strength to the north.

At that time, who will win the deer... is yet to be known! "

Peng Jing sneered, "What if Datang doesn't care?"

Fang Chong said coldly: "Then, we don't care about it, the Great Tang destroyed the Great Zhou, and the Daliao destroyed the Great Tang!"

Peng Jing was furious, "What good will we gain if the Great Zhou destroys the country?"

Fang Chong said coldly: "If this Dazhou wants to eat our flesh and blood and take our benefits, then why does it still exist? Extinct, just right!"

Snapped!
A clear voice came from the duty room.

Fang Chong covered his face, "Don't forget, who is behind us. What is the purpose of Sun Shi and others' New Deal? It is to rob the rich and help the poor. Whose riches will be robbed? We will wait! Whose poor will be helped? Those mud legs! "

Peng Jing's face was livid, "But even so, Da Zhou shouldn't be used as a chess piece!"

Fang Chong sneered, "If the New Deal continues, it will only take a few years, and the world will be in chaos."

Peng Jing took a picture of the table, "No mess!"

"Why do you deceive yourself!" Fang Chong said: "Who is in the hands of Da Zhou's money? They! Who is in the hands of Da Zhou's fields? They! They are all over the whole Da Zhou, in the army, in the officialdom, and their people are countless. everywhere.

When His Majesty wants to cut their flesh and blood to help those muddy legs, the old man tells you that they will rise up and overthrow this big week. "

"Are they just ignoring their lives?" Peng Jing's face turned pale.

Fang Chong smiled very easily, "They just want to burn their lives. There are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild. Those who die are all mud legs, and they are all people who support the New Deal."

"The Great Tang will destroy the Great Zhou!" Peng Jing was completely powerless, "There is internal turmoil in the Great Zhou, they only need to kick the Great Zhou down."

The most important thing about the Southern Zhou Dynasty being able to withstand the pressure of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years was that there were no internal disturbances.

"Does Prime Minister Peng know what they are talking about?" Fang Chong said indifferently: "They said that if this big week can't protect their money and fields, then it's better to change masters."

"Shameless!" Peng Jing roared angrily.

He slowly looked at Fang Chong, who was expressionless, "What do they want to do?"

Fang Chong said: "Stop the New Deal and exile Sun Shi, Han Bi and others. In addition, some people say that you should kill Sun Shi, Han Bi and others, thinking that those who come later will be warned!"

A new deal, because the interests of these people are involved, so the political struggle has evolved into a life-and-death struggle.

Never die!

"Get out!" Peng Jing pointed to the door.

Fang Chong stood up, "Think carefully, once these things are uncovered, both sides will never end. At that time..."

"go out!"

Peng Jing gritted his teeth and raised his teacup.

Fang Chong went out, turned around and closed the door.

He saw Peng Jing lying on the table, trembling all over, and said in pain:

"This big week!"

There was a smile in the corner of Fang Chong's eyes, a cold smile.

Then, slowly closed the door.

squeak...

The room fell into darkness.

……

"It is certain that they did it, and there is evidence."

It has to be said that the strength of the lover department is very strong.After Nian Xu lifted the ban on monitoring the prime ministers, he quickly found the evidence.

"The dead official was silenced, and one person was behind him... an acquaintance, who just held his head and twisted it hard."

"Whose order?" Nian Xu asked calmly.

Nian Ru lowered his head, "Just a sixth-rank official."

"I... know."

The voice was helpless and desolate.

Nian Ru couldn't help raising his head, "Your Majesty, this matter has something to do with Peng Jing and his gang."

"I see." Nian Xu waved his hand, "This is the end of this matter."

"Your Majesty!" Nian Ru whispered, "This is a traitor!"

For rebellious officials and thieves, killing is the first choice.

Nian Xu was a little helpless, "What can I do? Take Peng Jing and others, exile or kill them. Afterwards, the people called for their grievances. If I don't rehabilitate them, the palace will be filled with memorials. I think , but can't!"

Nian Ru knelt down, choked with sobs and said: "The master humiliated the minister to death, and the minister... will die!"

"What does it have to do with you?" Nian Xu smiled wryly: "At the beginning, the Emperor Taizu made a national policy of sharing the world with the scholar-officials. Nian used this to stabilize the civil officials, and then used the civil officials to suppress the warriors. Gradually stabilized.

But now it seems that this is a dose of poison, hurting others and hurting oneself. "

Nian Ru's eyes showed a stern look, "Your Majesty, the concealment ability of my lover Si Mi spy is unparalleled in the world. Please... monitor Zai Fu!"

Nian Xu was a little moved.

"They've been extra vigilant lately...be careful."

Nian Confucianism lowered his head, "If it fails, it will be the responsibility of the minister."

Things failed, and in order to appease those people, Nian Xu had to throw out a powerful courtier to take the blame.And Nian Confucianism is very suitable.

Back in Lover's Division, Nian Ru called Shen Zhong.

"The old man has an important matter here, which is confidential."

Shen Chong failed to capture Yang Lue last time, and it was Nian Ru who protected him afterwards.

"The commander ordered that the subordinate officials go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want!"

"You go..." Nian Ru stared at him, "Peng Jing and others will have a secret meeting recently, so keep an eye on it."

"This……"

A while ago, he just monitored Zaifu and stared at Zaifu, which had never happened before.

"This matter is what the old man did."

Nian Ru's words made Shen Zhong understand.

Young scholars can only be cannon fodder, but he doesn't even qualify as cannon fodder.

"The subordinate takes orders."

When night fell on the second day, Shen Zhong sneaked into Fang Chong's house with two of his men.

All the way to the study without any risk.

Fang Chong was talking with two officials, and a man in his fifties was sitting beside him.The man had black beard and hair, fair skin, and a calm expression.

"This time when the Tang Dynasty dispatched troops, the transportation of equipment is the most important thing. We must find a way to get such errands." Fang Chong took a sip of tea.

"What Prime Minister Fang means is..." an official thought for a while, "With food and grass in hand, if the battle ahead is in order, some accidents should happen to the food and grass along the way."

Another official said with a smile: "It was set on fire by thieves, or the road was destroyed, so I can't move forward."

Fang Chong smiled, "This matter..."

The man suddenly said, "Sir, there is someone."

Fang Chong glanced outside, "Who?"

The man stepped forward, "The sneaky ones are probably those wandering souls from the Lovers Division."

Fang Chong asked: "Is it possible to solve it?"

The man smiled, "Small things."

The man's name is Mengzhang, and he is a good player by Fang Chong's side.

"Don't keep alive." Fang Chong confessed.

"The old man knows."

Fang Chong coughed dryly, and the two officials began to talk, and what they said was a bit cloudy and specious.

Meng Zhang sat there on his knees, closed his eyes, and stretched out his hands, as if sensing something in the air.

Outside, two spies quietly approached the back of the study and listened attentively.

"Someone impeached Prime Minister Fang today, and the reason makes people laugh."

"Oh! why?"

Shen Shen was on the other side, looking carefully at the door of the study, he knew that Peng Jing would come later.

Who would Peng Jing bring with him? This was the information he wanted to find out.

A figure floated out of the study unsteadily, like a cloud of green smoke.

As soon as Qingyan circled around, he circled to the back of the study.

His heart trembled, and he let out a shriek.

The two secret agents responded in an instant, one stayed and the other flew away.

Meng Zhang circled to the rear, and the secret agent left behind quietly approached and slapped him away.

Meng Zhang punched backhand.

The secret agent hit him, but it seemed as if he was seeing him off, the green smoke drifted faster and faster.And that punch was right in front of the secret spy's forehead and retreated immediately.

The spy let out a muffled snort, and slowly knelt down, revealing his figure, and then gray-white brains flowed out from his nostrils.

The other spy had just rushed out more than ten steps when a strong wind came from behind him.

He wanted to dodge, but his figure flickered a few times, and just as he was about to turn around, he received a slap on the shoulder.

Meng Zhang's body flew back.

This series of actions was as fast as lightning.

He turned around and ran without hesitation.

The two hurried away one after the other.

There is a wall in front of you, and there will be people covering you after you go out.

Behind him, Meng Zhang punched far away.

puff!
He opened his mouth heavily and spat out a mouthful of blood, falling under the wall.

Two spies caught him.

"Go!" Gritting his teeth heavily, "Use a crossbow!"

Someone shouted.

Then, there was a loud noise ahead.

Bang!
A thick crossbow arrow shot towards Meng Zhang flying in mid-air.

Meng Zhang froze, stretched out his hand, and patted hard.

Bah!
The crossbow arrows like spears were shot flying, but Meng Zhang's figure fell down.

When he flew onto the wall again, he had already lost his target.

He went back to the study.

"How?" Fang Chong asked.

"Two died, and the other was seriously injured by the old man and fled. By the way, they used the crossbow!"

Fang Chong looked outside with a calm expression.

"emperor!"

……

"Failed!"

Nian Confucianism entered the palace to plead guilty.

"Two spies died, and one was seriously injured."

"No survivors?" Nian Xu asked.

"No."

Nian Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this was Fang Chong's confession.

——We monarchs and ministers, you stab me with a knife, and I kick you with a foot, but the fight will be fought, and it cannot be broken.

Commonly known as: fight without breaking!
Nian Xu waved his hand, "Go!"

Now that the monarch and his subjects are aware of each other's hints, there is still room for maneuver.

"His Majesty."

Nian Xu was just about to lie down and rest for a while, when Nian Ru came to see him again.

"What's the matter?"

"Southern Border Army...the whole army has assembled."

"It's time to prepare to attack." Although he knew that this battle was inevitable, Nian Xu was still a little nervous when it was coming.

"Call the ministers."

It was night, in Bianjing, officials of the fifth rank and above gathered in the palace.

When the officials saw the emperor in military uniform with a knife on his waist, they couldn't help but be amazed.

"The Tang army is about to attack, and Da Zhou's only response is...to stop the war with war!" Nian Xu's opening remarks were very passionate.

But the ministers were silent.

"Your Majesty, I wish to command the army to defend against the enemy!" Sun Shi left the squad without hesitation.

Nian Xu nodded in relief, "I know Sun Qing's loyalty. However, someone asked for a fight before, and I couldn't bear to refuse."

who is it?

Sun Shi turned his head.

Nian Xu said indifferently: "Peng Qing."

Peng Jing's body shook and he left the shift, "The minister is here."

"Fang Qing!"

"The minister... is here!" Fang Chong left the shift.

"The two Qing family can take the initiative to invite Ying, I am very happy!"

But Peng Jing swore that he never expressed his views on this matter, let alone volunteered.

That's the Tiger of the Tang Dynasty. Are those thieves from the Zhou Dynasty their opponents?
But he couldn't refuse!
Otherwise, under the threat of national subjugation, the emperor will tear the face of harmony between the monarch and his subjects and throw out the whole story.

Fang Chong was also dazed, and then he woke up.

They planned the congratulatory event, which led to the army's suppression.Just when they thought the emperor would swallow this... Come on, you two lead the army.If you win, then of course everything is easy to say.

If you lose...

Peng Jing and Fang Chong looked at each other.

Bitterness in my heart.

"Sir, take orders!"
