The Liaodong envoy who came to see He Yu was Wu Yinglin, an old acquaintance of Liaodong Town.
Afterwards, what exactly He Yu and Wu Yinglin talked about is unknown to outsiders.
But when the time came the next day, when Zhao Junchen once again convened all parties in Liaodong to continue consultations, He Yu led several generals under his command and Wu Yinglin suddenly showed up to visit Zhao Junchen.
Later, in front of representatives of all forces in Liaodong, Shanhaiguan representative Wu Yinglin, Liaodong Northeast Road Counselor Ximen Sheng, Liaodong Zhennan Road Counselor Xu Jia, Middle Road Counselor Li Zehe, East Road Counselor Gancheng and others were even punished Since then, Huang Shenming, the commander of Liaoxi and West Roads, who has been unable to move around on his own to this day, has come forward one after another to express his attitude in public.
The statements of these people have the same meaning inside and outside their words, that is, they will never support Zhao Junchen's proposal to change the status quo of Liao salary distribution.
In particular, the generals in Liaodong Town deliberately emphasized their loyalty to Commander-in-Chief He Yu and the unity of Liaodong Town, and repeatedly hinted that they would never pay attention to Zhao Junchen's alienation plan.
But after Zhao Junchen heard these statements, he felt that the remarks of these generals did not seem to be addressed to him, but more like they were addressed specifically to He Yu. He would always secretly observe He Yu when speaking. Yu's reaction.
Obviously, some seeds have been planted deep in their hearts.
In any case, the sudden appearance and statements of He Yu and others also poured cold water on the discussion between Zhao Junchen and various forces in Liaodong.
The prestige of Liaodong Town is too deep. After seeing the tough stance of these high-level military attachés in Liaodong Town, all forces in Liaodong will naturally retreat quickly.
Those forces that had sworn to actively support Zhao Junchen's proposal yesterday quickly changed their stance and expressed their hope that Zhao Junchen would think twice before making a rash decision.
As for the various forces that were worried about Zhao Junchen's proposal yesterday, they have become more determined at this time and have directly expressed their opposition.
In this way, due to the common opposition of all relevant forces in Liaodong, Zhao Junchen had no choice but to say that the matter of Liaoning salary distribution would be discussed in the future and that he would not make an immediate decision.
Seeing that Zhao Junchen finally gave up his proposal and no longer had to force He Yu to lift the table, all the forces in Liaodong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in Liaodong Town was also quite proud, thinking that Zhao Junchen's concession at this time was all because of their appearance and coercion.
In this way, He Yu believed that he had achieved his goal. In addition, there were too many representatives of various forces gathered in the tent at this time, and it was inconvenient to say certain words in public, so He Yu said no more. He stood up and said goodbye directly.
*
But just as he was leaving, He Yu was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but add: "Zhao Gechen, you are a very important figure in the center of the temple. You need to take care of all aspects of the imperial court... ...And you have been stranded in Hujiazhuang for nearly half a month due to illness. A lot of things must have been delayed in the capital.
I venture to believe that you have now seen all the forces in Liaodong and have a clear understanding of the specific situation in the Liaodong defense zone. You should not continue to stay here and waste time! We should take good care of ourselves as soon as possible, handle various matters properly, and then return to the center of the court as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation... If we delay the important affairs of the court, then it is my fault in Liaodong. "
In the past few days, He Yu was not only struggling to cope with Zhao Junchen's endless methods of alienation, but he was also really annoyed.
He Yu's statement at this time was obviously an eviction order, implying that Zhao Junchen should leave Liaodong as soon as possible and not stay here to continue causing trouble. It seemed to be a respectful tone, but in fact it was a tough attitude.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen looked quite unhappy and said slowly: "It seems that Mr. He regards this pavilion as a bad guest and can't wait to drive me away from Liaodong... To be honest, my pavilion is at the center of the temple. I have a lot of things to deal with, and I am anxious to return to the capital. I don't want to stay in Liaodong for too long!
However, I inspected Liaodong in accordance with His Majesty's order. It would be fine if nothing was discovered during this inspection. However, since I came to Liaodong, I first witnessed with my own eyes the persecution of the people by the army on the west side of Liaodong Town. Later, I personally experienced the fierce conflict between the Liaodong Cavalry and the Guan Ning Cavalry. These matters have not yet been resolved. How can I leave so easily?
If he left casually like this, wouldn't it be perfunctory of His Majesty's will? What's more, my condition has not recovered yet, and I am trying hard to talk to you all now. I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the bumps on the way back. "
Hearing the hints in Zhao Junchen's words, He Yu thought he had clearly seen Zhao Junchen's true thoughts.
Obviously, although Zhao Junchen chose to give in temporarily this time, he still wanted to continue to cause trouble for Liaodong Town, because he was unwilling to leave the Liaodong area without gaining anything. Zhao Junchen had to do something practical, otherwise he would return to the capital. It’s not easy to explain after the center.
In short, if Liaodong Town does not sell Zhao Junchen some face and allow Zhao Junchen to reap some practical benefits in Liaodong, Zhao Junchen will never leave easily, and the troubles in Liaodong Town will never end.
He Yu had long been fed up with Zhao Junchen's despicable methods and wanted to send Zhao Junchen away as soon as possible. In addition, he was actually unwilling to completely offend Zhao Junchen. He was even more worried that Zhao Junchen would bypass all parties in Liaodong after returning to the center of the capital. The forces themselves promote the distribution of Liao salary...
Therefore, after He Yu hesitated for a while, he finally decided that he should give in a little bit so that Zhao Junchen could leave Liaodong with dignity and quickly return to the capital.
As long as he can get rid of Zhao Junchen as soon as possible, and in order to prevent Zhao Junchen from mentioning the change of Liao salary distribution in the future, He Yu is willing to pay a small price.
But what price should be paid to satisfy both He Yu and Zhao Junchen is not something that should be discussed on this occasion. The two of them must choose a suitable time and occasion to negotiate privately.
And all this was within Zhao Junchen's expectation.
So, after He Yu was silent for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and suggested: "It's because of your humble position that you are rude. Since your condition, Zhao Gechen, has not yet recovered, you should naturally put your health first, and it is natural for you to continue to stay in Hujiazhuang to recuperate your body and mind!
Speaking of which, when Beizhi came to Hujiazhuang this time, he also brought several famous doctors from Jinzhou City... When tomorrow morning, Beizhi will personally bring those famous doctors here to diagnose and treat Zhao Gechen's condition. Maybe it will help! "
What He Yu meant was that he wanted to agree with Zhao Junchen to have private negotiations early tomorrow morning, and then the two of them could discuss the terms.
Zhao Junchen naturally understood He Yu's hint, and his expression became much kinder. He smiled and nodded and said: "If this is the case, naturally it is best! As long as I take good care of my body, I will have the physical and mental strength to quickly solve the problem. A few things, and then you can return to the capital without any worries."
"In that case, I'm resigning from my humble position!"
After saying that, He Yu finally turned around and left, and the various generals in Liaodong Town and Wu Yinglin also left behind He Yu.
*
In this way, due to the sudden appearance of He Yu and others, the meeting between Zhao Junchen and various forces in Liaodong came to nothing. Seeing that Zhao Junchen had nothing more to talk about, the representatives of all the forces also said goodbye and left. .
So far, everything that happened today seems to be that Liaodong Town directly defeated Zhao Junchen's intention, which can be said to be a complete victory.
After all the other people left, looking at the empty camp, Zhao Junchen suddenly laughed, his expression full of unclear meaning.
"Maybe it's because Liaodong Town has been domineering for too long and always believes in the concept of strength first, so everyone, including He Yu, has lost their political acumen... Their various performances today have all been ignored by me. I guessed it right, there were no unexpected variables!
But because everything went so smoothly, things have developed to this point, and I have to personally take risks and carry out follow-up plans. For a while, I really can’t figure out whether all this is a blessing or a curse! Alas, if there are changes in the plan, I might feel more relaxed! "
Xu Qingyan was busy with other things at this time, and the person staying with Zhao Junchen was Jiang Quan, a member of the Imperial Army.
Jiang Quan is a fanatical admirer of Zhao Junchen, and after this period of investigation, Zhao Junchen has also regarded Jiang Quan as a confidant, and many plans have been kept secret from him.
After Jiang Quan heard Zhao Junchen's soft words at this time, he also had a complex expression and worries, and said: "Yes, Zhao Gechen, your next plan is really too risky. I have always hoped that this plan would happen." Variables, so that you can change your mind and consider new plans without taking such risks... Everything is developing so smoothly now, and I feel uneasy even though I am humble!"
After a pause, Jiang Quan couldn't help but confirm: "Zhao Gechen, your follow-up plan is based on the premise that all the generals in Liaodong Town will definitely express their betrayal of He Yu, causing Liaodong Town to completely fall into disarray. But looking at the attitude of these generals today, Beizi is still loyal to He Yu and follows their lead... So Beizi is quite worried. They may not betray easily when the time comes. If this is the case..."
Zhao Junchen, however, was full of confidence and said: "Don't worry, if these Liaodong military attachés really possess the virtue of loyalty, then they should be loyal to the court from beginning to end as they have received court salaries and received court rewards over the years!
But it is obvious that they have never been loyal to the imperial court, which means that they do not have the virtue of loyalty, and they will never be loyal to Liaodong Town. They will only be loyal to themselves, and they are only busy chasing short-term interests, and No long-term vision! Their so-called loyalty to Liaodong Town is only because the collective of Liaodong Town can provide them with more benefits!
And next, if betraying Liaodong Town can bring them more benefits, they will definitely not hesitate at all!
They seem to be loyal to He Yu now, but that is only because they are afraid of He Yu's accumulated power, and He Yu still controls the Liaodong cavalry, which is the most powerful, and they are unable to resist in a short time, so they have no choice but to Not loyal to He Yu! In other words, they are just afraid of He Yu's revenge, rather than being completely loyal to He Yu!
As for my next plan, I actually want to create an opportunity for them, an opportunity where they can forget He Yu’s power in a short period of time and don’t have to worry about He Yu’s revenge! When the time comes, those few seeds I planted in advance will surely take root quickly and grow into deep-rooted towering trees! "
