Chapter 30: The Strategy of Marriage The Plan of Appeasement

As the girl responded, the fireball in the tent was suddenly extinguished, and the tent was as thick as silk.

Ying Ziyi sat back in the dark and relied on her feelings to sit back in her original place.

"Come out!"

As Ying Ziyi's words fell, Xiao Yu only felt that a surging monstrous sword intent struck like fire, and then disappeared in an instant.

The tent was bright again, and the braziers on either side of the tent were lit. When Xiao Yu saw it clearly, there was another person in the tent unconsciously.

This is a swordsman who hides his body and appearance in the dark, he kneels in front of Ying Ziyi, hidden in the darkness of the silhouette of the desk, Xiao Yu doesn't even know if this swordsman is a man or a woman?

"From now on, you will be the lowest assassin in the net, and you will be under its rule."

"Nets?" Xiao Yu was taken aback and said, "What you asked me to do for you, is it?"

"That's right, what this king asked you to do, nothing else, is to remove some unnecessary troubles for this king."

"Unnecessary trouble."

Xiao Yu was about to say something, but he saw Ying Ziyi wave his hand and said, "You go down!" ”

Xiao Yu looked at Ying Ziyi, and then at the swordsman kneeling in front of the case, and finally retreated.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid really can't see it, such a little girl, what is there to worry about His Highness?" The swordsman stood up, revealing a beautiful face in the lamplight.

Ying Ziyi smiled, leaned back slightly, and said, "Yue Wang Eight Swords, with you as the leader." And, in your capacity, it's best for you to leave this matter to you. Because she is a special person, at least, for this king. ”

"Is that so?" The swordsman smiled and said, "I have never seen His Highness have such an attitude towards a person, and the slave maid wants to see what is so special about this little girl." Let's hope she can pass the test of a novice! ”

A test for novices? Ying Ziyi smiled, that is not something that ordinary people can accept.

"She'll leave it to you, Luo Qi." Ying Ziyi said cautiously.

"Slaves obey!" The woman called herself a slave, but there was no trace of respect in her words, but Ying Ziyi seemed to be letting it go.

The assassins of the net, including the eight swords of the king of Yue, all of them had become unimportant by the time they joined the net. However, only this woman is special, because she is the only swordsman who has joined the net, but has not lost her heart.

"Oh well! I'm here to see how many rounds this little girl can survive under my hands? Luo Qi smiled, and the figure disappeared in this big tent, just as fast as when she came.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Is it really good to have such people in the net? ”

There seems to be more than one person hidden in this dark tent.

"Chen Ping, are you worried that Luo Qi's ability is not enough?" Ying Ziyi sat in front of his desk and asked rhetorically.

On the contrary, her subordinates believed that Luo Qi's ability was sufficient to meet the trust entrusted to her by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, what the subordinates are worried about is not that her ability is not enough, on the contrary, her ability is too strong, and even" Chen Ping's figure walked out of the darkness at the edge of the lamplight, and a trace of melancholy flashed on a face that was no less than that of any stunning woman.

"Even this king can't handle it?"

Ying Ziyi knew very well what Chen Ping thought. For a wise man, he has never liked people who can influence their precise schemes. Once the chess pieces on the chessboard have the power to influence the chess players, then which chess player can like it.

And Luo Qi really belongs to such a powerful chess piece that can influence the direction of the chess player's chess game.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should know that Luo Qi is not her real name. Her subordinates have already investigated, her past is mysterious, and she has not even been able to investigate the slightest movement of her past. And if that girl is really important to His Highness. Handed over to Luo Qi, it was a little too risky. ”

"Regarding Luo Qi's life experience, this king already knows a little bit about it."

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are" Chen Ping wanted to say how did you know. But think about it, such words are somewhat contrary to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and the difference between the top and the bottom.

Ying Ziyi smiled, not very minding. This is a common problem of wise people, and the persistent pursuit of puzzle answers sometimes surpasses everything.

Actually, you've just said the answer. Who is it, even if she is strong in the net, she can't find out a trace of her past. Or so to put it! What kind of person can make the eyes and ears of this king useless. ”

Ying Ziyi's words have been said very plainly. Even a slightly smarter person already has three points of understanding at this moment. What's more, it's a rare strategist like Chen Ping.

Chen Ping gasped, and the answer was self-evident.

The world is so big, who can make Yingziyi, who is the crown prince of Qin, look black and can't find the direction.

Your Majesty the First Emperor!

Luo Qi is a person of His Majesty the First Emperor!

This is the only plausible explanation. Since Chen Ping took the helm of Luowang, he has carried out a great and deep-seated reform of Luowang. This beast that used to choose people to devour when it smelled of blood, and at this time, the evil aura on the rivers and lakes has increased by three points. With the six sword slaves as the representative of more than a dozen heavenly killers, hundreds of middle-level forces armed with ancient swords, and countless outlaws, it is enough to make the vast majority of the Jianghu forces fearful.

However, after all, this is only a force that is shown outside, or Chen Ping deliberately wants others to have such a feeling, and the net is just an organization that is full of murderous spirit and provokes enemies everywhere. Although it can be rampant with the power of the Qin State, it will still be annihilated in the dust of history after all.

In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the huge organization of the net. Through the net, Ying Ziyi has been carrying out more secretive plans. This plan will include the princes of the world, the hundred schools of thought, and the south and the north. For this reason, Ying Ziyi divided the net into two and established a more mysterious Nine Shades Hall, and Chen Ping was the implementer of this plan, in charge of all the ghosts in the Nine Shades Hall.

Speaking from his heart, Ying Ziyi's plan has just begun, and he is only sowing seeds on this land, and he has not yet waited for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit. But even so, the net under his command is still an organization that is in the limelight at the moment, at least in terms of momentum, it has been able to compete with traditional forces such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Fanon.

But this is still too small in front of Emperor Qin.

This man who sits on the throne and looks at the pass. For this world, for this empire, his control is incomparable. The imperial army, civil and military officials, and countless forces that serve the empire in the light and in the dark, will eventually converge into the hands of Emperor Qin like silk threads, allowing him to play and swing.

"With all due respect, His Majesty the Emperor has been aware of His Highness's plan by sending such a high-profile person here."

"It's a yes, but it's just a yes." Ying Ziyi shook her head. He still has all confidence in the secrecy of his plans. Otherwise, if Emperor Qin knew all his plans, then his status as the crown prince would not be able to be kept, and I am afraid that it would still be between the two theories.

"So, what did Luo Qi come to collect the net for?" Chen Ping himself is confident in the secrecy of this plan. It's just that a question has just disappeared, and a question has risen. In Chen Ping's opinion, such a high-profile person is really not suitable for doing some secret things, such as investigating intelligence, ambushing undercover agents or something. Such a thing, Emperor Qin should also be clear. In that case, it is very debatable why he would send such a person.

"What His Majesty the Emperor means by sending such a person, this king does not know. Maybe it's just a hand of chess. Ying Ziyi sighed. What this cheap man is going to do, no one can really guess.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is one more thing worth noting. The eldest son, Fusu, has been very close to Prime Minister Li Si in recent days, and even Zhao Gao began to stretch out his claws uneasily. ”

Ying Ziyi smiled, these three can come together, which really makes Ying Ziyi a little strange. Historically, it was Zhao Gao and Li Si who conspired to usurp the throne of Fusu. And now, because of his own pressure, there is a faint tendency for these three to form an alliance.

Once these three form a political alliance, even Ying Ziyi, who is the crown prince, cannot ignore a powerful force.

Fusu is the eldest son, if there is no accident, Win Ziyi inherits the throne, as long as he does not rebel in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to get rid of a Zongzheng position. Zongzheng is in charge of all the descendants of the clan.

One represents the clan, the other is the prime minister, representing the majority of the ministers above the court, and the other is in the inner palace and is in charge of the Zhongche Mansion. Once these three are united, they are like a force that can isolate the inside and outside.

Of course, you can say, these are nothing in front of the barrel of a gun. But don't forget, the gun in Ying Ziyi's hand is not as big as Brother Zheng's!

"Your Highness, should we start fighting back before this alliance is formed, and completely dispel this potential threat."

"No, you don't." Ying Ziyi stopped: "This alliance should not be formed, at least on the surface. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means!" Regarding the meaning of Yingziyi's words, Chen Ping can vaguely guess seven or eight points.

"That's right, as long as Emperor Qin doesn't die, this political alliance will not really be formed. Whether it was Li Si or Zhao Gao, the source of their power was only the trust and favor of Emperor Qin after all. Without this premise, then they are nothing in the Qin State. Both of them were smart people, and naturally knew what would happen if a powerful political alliance was formed, which could separate the inside and outside. ”

That must have attracted the thunderous wrath of Emperor Qin, for the power that can threaten his own power, it is still close to before the couch, which emperor can tolerate it, let alone Brother Zheng. Don't look at Brother Zheng's kindness to the Li Si family, and even let his daughters marry into the Li Mansion and become Li Si's daughter-in-law. But once Li Tonggu made a mistake and dared to do such a thing, then it would not be far from the extinction of the clan.

Think about the late prime minister of Qin, Wenxin Marquis LΓΌ Buwei, he single-handedly helped Brother Zheng to the throne of King Qin, and there are even rumors that Brother Zheng is the illegitimate son of LΓΌ Buwei and Zhao Ji. In the end, it's not a cup of poisoned wine, let alone Lisi.

I have to say that Brother Zheng's political balance has always been very good. Whether it is in the court or in the army, the few factions that are vaguely presented cannot dominate one family, but they can work together to serve the empire under the allocation of Brother Zheng.

Even if Yingziyi is the respect of the prince, it is the same. Ying Ziyi is certainly very influential in the army, but in the court, he has a weak foundation.

Of course, as an excellent prince of Qin, a good son of Brother Zheng, the most important thing is to be a villain who knows the truth of black and eats black. Ying Ziyi didn't have the second time to challenge Brother Zheng's authority.

As a prince under the command of an emperor like Brother Zheng, Ying Ziyi can't even pretend to be cowardly.

"Your Highness, your subordinates believe that we cannot take such a potential threat lightly."

Ying Ziyi nodded, Chen Ping's concern was not unreasonable. In another world, Zhao Gao just took advantage of Brother Zheng's search for the elixir of life and died of illness, conspired with Li Si, and disrupted the Great Qin River.

"Chen Ping, do you know what Li Si said about himself in the past?"

"Your Highness means hamster?"

"That's right."

Li Si once said to people that I would rather be a hamster rat than a toilet rat. The rats in the barn live in high houses and wide walls, shelter from the wind and rain, and eat the best food. And the rat in the toilet will end up much more miserable.

"Your Highness means ......"

"It's a good breakthrough." Ying Ziyi smiled and said.

Based on Yingziyi's understanding of him in later generations, Li Si is a very self-aware person. Li Si is the head of the Legalist family, the younger brother of Han Fei, and the height of Xunzi, needless to say, his own talents. He compares himself to a hamster, for him, glory and wealth, and power position is the most important. This is also the reason why Li Si disobeyed the edict of the First Emperor and conspired with Zhao Gao to abolish Fusu and establish Huhai after the death of Qin Shi Huang.

Fusu has always not liked Li Si very much, but he reuses the Montessori brothers even more. Once Fusu succeeds to the throne, then Li Si's position as prime minister is categorically unsafe.

To a certain extent, Ying Ziyi is to Li Si what Fusu is to Li Si in another world.

Ying Ziyi did not attach importance to Legalism, or rather, did not attach as much importance to Legalism as the elite of the Manchu Dynasty Legalists expected. The civil, military, and noble people in the entire Xianyang City know it.

Therefore, the attitude of the people of the Legalist family towards this prince is also ambiguous. Li Si's law enforcement family, the eldest brother of a group of legalists in the court, is strange to be able to like Yingziyi.

However, Yingziyi is not Fusu!

As soon as Li Si and Zhao Gao wrote an edict, they forced Fusu to commit suicide, Meng Tian tied himself to Xianyang, and finally died unjustly. Thinking that at that time, Meng Tian Fusu held 300,000 Great Wall Legions, all of which were the elite of the Qin army, and they wanted to do something to abolish the establishment, but it was only a thought. Regardless of whether Fusu Mengtian's thoughts at that time were fearful or he didn't want to split the Qin State, they all maintained the stability of the Qin State to the greatest extent. If it weren't for Zhao Gao, the second fifth boy, and Hu Hai, the second ancestor, the Qin State would not have fallen to that fate in the end.

But Ying Ziyi is different. Ying Ziyi expected that as a big villain, he wanted to settle his brother with a broken edict? He didn't go south to Guanzhong, overturned Xianyang, and copied Li Si Zhao Gao's house.

In this triangle, it seems that Li Si has the highest power, the largest position, and the strongest ability, but he is actually the easiest one to break through.

There is no other reason, just greed for power. Compared with the natural hostility between Fusu and Ying Ziyi, the deep hatred and blood hatred between Zhao Gao and Ying Ziyi, Li Si is actually the easiest one to settle.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my subordinates have a proposal." At this time, Chen Ping raised his head and looked at Ying Ziyi.

"Say it!"

"My subordinates heard that Li Tonggu has a daughter under his knees, who has not yet been married. If His Royal Highness can present His Majesty the First Emperor, his wife will be the crown princess. His Royal Highness and the Legalists led by Li Si have not been unable to improve their relations, and even have their support. ”

Regarding Chen Ping's strategy, Ying Ziyi was noncommittal. Marriage has been one of the means to improve relations between nobles since ancient times. However, it is also one of the most useless means. To be reasonable, the royal relatives of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States are all related by blood, and maybe the eldest aunt of a certain noble relative of a certain country is a female relative of a certain noble relative of another country, and even the royal family is no exception.

However, in the past hundreds of years, between the seven countries, isn't it still fighting that should be fighting? The flag rolls up in the sky, and there is no day of peace. For relatives who have never seen him in his life, which one has ever been soft.

At the critical moment, will Li Si stand on Yingziyi's side for the sake of this daughter. Ying Ziyi is not sure at all.

"Alright! Later, I will ask Xiao He to write a note on this matter for me and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor." In any case, it never hurts to show favor to Li Si, and if you can win Li Si's support, it will be even better.

……

"Yingziyi doesn't plan to take the Fusang Shenmu and the three-legged golden crow of Shu Mountain!"

The exclamation of the star soul made the Yin and Yang family members present speechless.

Oh, yes! In this battle of Shushan, the people of the Yin and Yang family made great efforts. Just by eliminating the Yu Yuan guards of Shu Mountain, the Yin and Yang family lost a large number of elite disciples. But in the end, the Yin and Yang family didn't get anything, how can this not be chilling.

The moon god bowed his head and focused his attention on the crystal ball in his hand. He and the star soul are at the poles of the same room, and there is a sharp contrast between movement and stillness.

"Interesting, interesting, the stars are actually clear."

"Could it be that His Highness the Moon God divined the fortune of Prince Qin?" Star Soul looked at the Moon God and sneered. It's all this effort, and the moon god still has the leisure to divination?

The moon god smiled, although the star soul is a young man and an old man, and the city is very deep, but compared with the moon god who has gone through vicissitudes, there is still something missing after all.

"Prince Qin's astrology is still the same as before, chaotic and difficult to understand. However, I am not divining Prince Qin, but Shushan. ”

"Shushan?" The five elders looked at each other, all of them not understanding what the moon god meant.

Shushan has been destroyed, what are you going to do with divination? Even the Star Soul was puzzled.

"The astrological signs indicate that Shushan has indeed declined to the extreme after this battle. But behind this, there is an extremely powerful force in the making. Even one day, Shushan may still be prosperous. The moon god said slowly.

Hearing the Moon God say this, the Star Soul also fell into deep thought, "Among Yu Yuan's guards, as far as I know, only one person escaped, and this woman entered Ying Ziyi's tent this morning, and after coming out, she disappeared. ”

"His Royal Highness the Star Soul means that this woman has been taken in by Prince Qin as a confiner. Does Shushan want to rely on this woman's pillow wind to prosper again? Yun Zhongjun smiled, a hint of banter flashing across his face.

Regarding Yun Zhongjun's jokes, none of the high-level executives of the Yin and Yang family present took it seriously. Even on Da Sima's face, a look of disgust appeared.

"There has always been an ancient secret hidden in Shushan, but with the death of the elder who knows the inside story, this secret may have fallen on the missing girl."

"What does His Highness the Moon God mean?" Yun Zhongjun said with a serious expression.

"Maybe Prince Qin's purpose is precisely for this secret."

"What kind of secret is this?" Xiangjun asked.

"There are very few things that can affect this side, but this secret of Shushan seems to be not among them."

"Oh, so Shushan wants to rise again with this secret?" Yun Zhongjun said.

"Shushan, like my Yin and Yang family, has an ancient bloodline inheritance, and therefore, for this secret, my Yin and Yang family can't use it." Yun Zhongjun shook his head, his eyes full of greed.

"It's all about that girl, who is she? And where? The star soul, who had not spoken, spoke at this time.

"Ying Ziyi has already hidden her, what does Prince Qin don't want people to know or people, then even Emperor Qin is difficult to know, let alone my Yin and Yang family." The moon god said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Xiangjun asked.

"The demise or rise of Shushan is only a small thing for the general trend of the world. My Yin and Yang family has been implicated in the empire. So don't worry, Prince Qin won't give us an explanation. "After all, the moon god is old and serious, so said.

The moon god's words were not finished, and outside the tent, the chariot was disturbed.

The corners of the Luna God's mouth turned up to a nice arc and said, "Is it coming so soon?" ”

As the moon god expected, Ying Ziyi's messenger brought gifts to appease the Yin and Yang family.

More than a dozen carts of gold and silver, and a cart of bamboo slips.

The moon god and the star soul walked out of the camp with the five elders of the Yin and Yang family, and everyone's eyes were focused on the body of the bamboo slip from the beginning.

Although gold and silver are precious, they are not a big deal for people from the Yin and Yang family.

As the old saying goes, knowledge is power. At the level of the upper echelons of the Yin and Yang family, this sentence is the best embodiment in them.

Only strength is what the people of the Yin and Yang family are pursuing. And the gift given by the prince of Qin will naturally not be an ordinary classic.

The moon god, the star soul and the five elders thanked the messenger of Yingziyi, and brought the cart of bamboo slips back to the camp tent.

Prince Qin's handwriting is really big! The moon god flipped through a bamboo slip and exclaimed. The classics left by the sages of Shushan were all sent by Prince Qin. (To be continued.) )
