Chapter 368: Master and Servant Reunited
King Gaomi's murderous intent towards Zhao Shi was born a long time ago.
Earlier than Zhao Shi's decision to take refuge in Rong Sleeping Crane.
To be precise, it was the return of Rong Sleeping Crane, and with the talent and qualifications shown by this lost and recovered son, it was conveyed to Zhao Shi in Northern Xinjiang through the Zhao family, and Zhao Shi began to knock on the topic of "changing the world" in the contact with King Gaomi.
After all, for long-term separation from family, I really want to flesh and blood. Zhao Shi, who was reunited, said that after years of confrontation between King Gaomi and the Meng clan and their equalization, he hoped that there would be a variable that would break the balance and increase his chances of victory.
For example, the young and capable Rong Sleeping Crane also has the support of the rich in the south.
At that time, King Gaomi tried his best to persuade this brother-in-law, but he had already decided that even if Zhao Shi was persuaded this time, the overall situation would be determined in the future, and he would not be allowed to live.
Because the gentle prince Rong Qingjiu, it is impossible to poison this uncle personally.
So if Zhao Shi and his day are shaken by his support for Rong Qingchu because of one reason or another...... Even if King Gaomi left enough assistants for the prince, he knew that Zhao Shi was unreliable, so what did he do to give Zhao Shi a chance?
The reason why I have endured it to this day is nothing more than because I have not found the right opportunity before.
"Now that the people in northern Xinjiang are panicking, Meng Boqin defected to Ruru, and returned to northern Xinjiang with Ruru's army...... The soldiers of his faction, in order to avoid suspicion, would never dare to jump out to fight for power at this time! King Gaomi thought silently in his heart, "As for the people under Zhao Shi's hands, apart from him, there is no one who can take the overall situation." At this time, the lonely Qi Jianxun went over and happened to take over the Northern Frontier Army! ”
The Northern Frontier Army is back in the bag...... Even if it was just a broken Northern Frontier Army, it was enough to lay the foundation for his victory!
At that time, even if Ruru has already arrived at the city of Chang'an, he can ascend the throne in danger, take the name of righteousness, pour the power of the country, and deal with it!
Sacrificing part of Li Shu in exchange for his own kingship in the world, King Gaomi felt that this deal was still very cost-effective.
"As for Zhao Shi's departure, the Zhao family's reaction is okay, princess...... Mi Xue she ......"
Recalling the relationship between husband and wife over the years, King Gaomi had a moment of melancholy, but soon turned firm, "Mi Xue is single-mindedly partial to Mizhen, and she is lonely and no longer makes decisions for the prince...... What will happen to this filial and generous child in the future? ”
What he didn't know was that his youngest son, Mizhen County, who was tired and guarded by him at the moment, was secretly stepping into Gyeonggi!
The Wuyi battalion quickly assembled.
"The King of the County!" The Wuyi camp is in the Gyeonggi area, and the leader is Dong Liang, but because Gongsun Xi is here, it is Gongsun Xi who is the first to come forward to greet him at this moment.
His expressionless face, with a little guilt and confusion at the moment, said in a deep voice, "My subordinates ...... before"
"We'll talk about you later!" Rong Sleeping Crane has been in the dust all the way, Rao is he has always been full of energy, after a few days and nights of galloping, at this moment Shaorun's face is also full of tiredness, and there is also a circle of obvious stubble on his chin, but his eyes are still as cold as frost and snow, he raised his hand to stop Gongsun Xi, and turned to Dong Liang and asked, "How is the situation recently, you can tell me!" ”
Dong Liang agreed, stepped forward and said the current situation in Chang'an, as well as Gongsun Yingjiang's request for help, as well as Empress Meng's initiative to ask for help, etc., and finally said: "It has been two days since the queen returned to Shanglin Yuan, and there has been no news, and I don't know if the plan is going well." However, the sea lord Taji people have their own natural appearance, so it must be fine. ”
Rong Sleeping Crane came suddenly, and the subordinates here didn't know his intention, and thought it was for Gongsun Shu.
"I heard about the big brother on the road." At this moment, Rong Sleeping Crane bowed his head and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, since the queen mother has taken the initiative to ask for help, let's leave it to the queen mother to do it!" ”
There was a brief pause, "Lone came to Chang'an this time in the hope of breaking the current deadlock and rejecting Ruru!" ”
"King of the county, do you want to contact the queen mother and assassinate Meng Guiyu?" When Dong Liang heard this, he proposed, "On the side of Shanglin Yuan, now Meng Guiyu is in charge of the overall situation, as long as he has three longs and two shorts, King Gaomi will seize the opportunity here, and the overall situation will be determined in the near future!" ”
When Gongsun Xi heard this, he subconsciously frowned, and wanted to say something, but after looking at the tired appearance of Rong Sleeping Crane, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again, and after a pause, he said slowly: "The queen is very trusted by the Queen Mother, and she was an ally with Meng Guiyu in the past. If she can agree to betray Meng Guiyu and the others, it will indeed get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"You all want King Gaomi to win?" However, Rong Sleeping Crane listened, just shook his head, and said, "What Gu means is to let Meng Guiyu win!" ”
"Meng Guiyu?" Dong Liang and Gongsun Xi were both stunned, although the relationship between King Gaomi and Rong Sleeping Crane was very bad, but after all, they were father and son, and Meng Guiyu was ambitious, and he was still a betrayer under Rong Sleeping Crane, they thought that Rong Sleeping Crane would choose between these two sides, and they would not choose Meng Guiyu.
Rong Sleeping Crane said lightly: "King Gaomi is the father of the lonely body, and he is the beloved son of the first emperor!" And the power is deep-rooted, if he obtains the name of righteousness and does things alone, won't he have to be more and more restrained? However, after his downfall, it is better to inherit the inheritance and will as a son! ”
"But you can't let Meng Guiyu come to power?" Gongsun Xi reminded, "King of the county, Meng Guiyu is good at forbearance, and his temperament is treacherous and loyal, not to be underestimated!" When the king of the county left Chang'an, this person was only one of the many nobles in Chang'an, and his status among the Meng family was even inferior to some juniors. ”
"But after many years, the Meng clan fell apart and failed, but he has suddenly risen to power and is in power!"
"The lifting point that this person said is the posture of a hero!"
"It's not that the subordinates say that the king of the county is not his opponent, but I am afraid that today the tiger will return to the mountain, and he will waste his energy in vain!"
proposed, "Why don't you choose to help King Gaomi?" King Gaomi's heirs are thin, once the prince dies, who else can he choose except to succeed the king of the county? Rong Qingdrunk and the sons of the prince's knees, together they are not worthy of carrying shoes for the king of the county! ”
Dong Liang pondered for a moment, and also said: "The king of the county, the descendants of King Gaomi, are much easier to deal with than Meng Guiyu?" ”
"You can all understand this truth, let alone King Gaomi?" But when Rong Sleeping Crane heard this, he sneered and said, "Then do you think that if King Gaomi occupies a big position, he will give Gu such a chance?" ”
Dong Liang said: "The king of the county, the king of Gaomi has always favored the prince, but where can the king of the county be ignored if he wants to?" ”
"There is power in Lone's hands, and he really can't help Lone!" Rong Sleeping Crane said calmly, "But it's not impossible to start from other aspects to calculate Lonely!" For example, what about the name? Now there is no child, once King Gaomi practices Zuo, under the pretext of sympathizing with his brother, he will succeed Lone to Xuanjing, then in the future, Lone will take the throne, in addition to raising an army to rebel, what is the way? ”
He sneered, "Although Lone is not afraid of the world's discussions, why should he bear such a notoriety for nothing? What's more, the difficulty at that time may not be less than crusading against Meng Guiyu, a relative in the name of the descendants of the Rong family! ”
Dong Liang frowned for a moment and said, "King Jun, or will we attack the descendants under the knee of King Gaomi now?" In this way, in the future, King Gaomi will preside over the overall situation, and you will have an heir under his knees, what else can he do? ”
"He may not be able to poison Lone at that time, but there may not be less suffering!" Rong Sleeping Crane said coldly, "Lone is the kind of person who can swallow his anger?!" ”
Dong Liang said: "How dare your subordinates let the county king swallow his anger? When the time comes, he will be useless, so let him go down to see the first emperor! Anyway, everyone knows that he is the beloved son of the first emperor, and the first emperor has not seen him for so many years, and eighty percent has been waiting for a long time! ”
"But if the prince has three longs and two shorts, whether it is done by Lone or not, King Gaomi will not stop with Lone in the first place!" Rong Sleeping Crane looked at him, "Lone has no patience with him anymore, there is no need to discuss this matter!" ”
When Dong Liang and the others heard this, they glanced at each other and said, "If you want Meng Guiyu to win, the fastest way is naturally to assassinate King Gaomi and leave the dragons of Chang'an without a leader...... However, this method is difficult to implement, after all, King Gaomi is now heavily guarded, and it is unlikely that he will succeed, even if he succeeds reluctantly, eighty percent will leak the news and put the king of the county in a disadvantageous place! ”
"In this case, it is more appropriate to do things from the defense of Chang'an City?"
"Ning Wei Hou Shizi and his party have just withdrawn from Chang'an City, do they know a little about city defense?"
"There is also the heavy grain and grass in the city, which can also make a fuss...... Anyway, Gyeonggi is close to the left, and the most abundant reserve is Sanlimwon. Even if Chang'an's granary is burned, as long as Meng Guiyu is willing to open the warehouse to release grain, the people here will not become starving. But in this case, it is equivalent to giving him the opportunity to be a good person. This person is treacherous, you must not guard against it, can you not let him be a good person, or don't let him be a good person. ”
A group of people came up with an idea, and in the end, they all looked at Rong Sleeping Crane, waiting for him to make a decision.
Rong Sleepy Crane pondered for a moment, but asked Gongsun Xi: "The princess of the county told Gu that she had sent someone to pass a message to you on the road, so that after you came to Chang'an, you took the time to visit Zhao Mansion, I don't know if you have ever been there?" ”
Gongsun Xi was stunned for a moment, and shook his head embarrassedly: "The subordinates originally planned to visit the Zhao Mansion with their hearts and minds after the matter is over." Who knows......"
"That's it." Rong Sleeping Crane nodded and said, "Lone will go with you!" ”
"King of the county, how can this be done?!" Hearing this, everyone was shocked and dissuaded, "Now that Chang'an is under the surveillance of King Gaomi, even Ning Weihou and his wife have to risk breaking through and escaping from the city because they can't survive!" If you enter the city, once you are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Gongsun Xi speculated on his master's thoughts, and said: "If the king of the county wants to contact the Zhao Mansion, his subordinates can be messengers, and now Chang'an is nothing more than a tiger's den in Longtan, and there are murderous opportunities!" The body of the county king's daughter, you must not be in danger! ”
Just as he was saying this, someone outside hurriedly entered and said, "King Jun, news has come from the sea!" ”
