The trap against King Jinyang was quickly acquiesced by the emperor and quickly rolled out.

Gao Zhen and Zhao Wei's plan is actually simple and simple, and it is quite complicated to say that it is complicated, mainly to test General Hu's acting skills. If his acting skills are too poor and he fails to win the trust of King Jinyang, it will be troublesome. Fortunately, he is also a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, and when facing important events, his psychological quality is still passable, and he has not shown flaws in front of King Jinyang. Gao Zhen and Zhao Wei's actions were also secretive, and they did not alarm King Jinyang, so the situation was ideal for the time being.

After repeated "consideration", General Hu expressed his willingness to do great things with King Jinyang, but his daughter's marriage contract with King Jinyang could not be made public for the time being, and when King Jinyang succeeded to the throne, he issued an order to canonize Miss Hu as the queen of the main palace, and King Jinyang also guaranteed that the future crown prince must be born from the belly of the Hu family. As a symbol of the marriage contract, General Hu would exchange tokens and marriage letters with the King of Jinyang as evidence.

The king of Jinyang agreed, with the marriage certificate in hand, even if General Hu had a handle, he could be regarded as really holding the military power. King Jinyang was excited in his heart, and he only felt that victory was already in sight!

But before General Hu exchanged engagement tokens and marriage letters with him, he put forward another condition: King Jinyang's current situation in the court is not very good, although it is a matter of time before he succeeds to the throne in the future, but now he is indeed excluded by the emperor, General Hu agreed to this marriage is a great risk, the most important is to take the job, the light is to be demoted, so the king of Jinyang wants to show a little sincerity. At least. It is also necessary to let the Hu family understand that he is a master worthy of refuge, and follow him to do great things. It won't be left behind after it's done.

Otherwise, General Hu took the risk and sent the King of Jinyang to the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and the King of Jinyang turned back and did not recognize anyone, and set up another queen of the main palace, even if the Hu family has a marriage certificate in his hand, what can he do if he does not recognize it? Or admit yes. But in the future, she will be a concubine, and she will be sent away as a harem concubine for Miss Hu, and the future throne will have nothing to do with the grandson of the Hu family. Wasn't General Hu a waste of effort?

King Jinyang didn't know how to understand it, and after listening to General Hu's request, he agreed very readily, which would let the Hu family see his sincerity. But he didn't say anything else. After returning to the palace, he sent one of his favorite concubines to Zhuangzi, and also proposed to a cousin who had no heirs in the clan to pass on, intending to pass on the eldest son to the other party.

When General Hu learned about this, he really didn't know how to react. Everyone is taking the heirs with real knives and guns, don't use these house methods to deal with people, okay? Can't you take it back after sending the concubine away? Even if they die, countless new people will pop up. The eldest son of the concubine passed the succession, and the king of Jinyang had other sons. If you marry again in the future, you won't be able to give birth. That's not sincerity at all!

King Jinyang listened to General Hu's words. After thinking about it, he smiled and put forward another sincerity - he gave a huge grange under his name to Miss Hu as a dowry, this grange is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it can bring seven or eight thousand taels of income every year, which is really a rich dowry - but who lacks this bit of silver? Would the Hu family risk their own lives for the sake of this annual income of seven or eight thousand taels?

General Hu couldn't tell whether King Jinyang really didn't understand, or pretended to be confused. He bluntly put forward the "sincerity" he wanted: he wanted to know who was cooperating with King Jinyang, he wanted to know what they planned to do, he wanted to know their specific plans, and the people involved. Preferably, there is a detailed list. General Hu wants to know this, but also to protect himself: when he understands the secret of King Jinyang, King Jinyang will not easily abandon him. Even if King Jinyang can really ascend to the throne and become an emperor in the future, he will have to be embarrassed, and he can't let people from the outside world criticize him as a usurper, even if everyone knows that he is, he has to put a fig leaf on himself.

King Jinyang actually felt a little impatient, but he was reluctant to help such a good one. Fifty thousand troops! The generals around the capital who also hold military power are actually not the only ones who have military power. But such generals are usually people who are extremely trusted by the emperor, and he does not dare to risk letting such a person know his thoughts. General Hu has just returned from the northwest, he has no foundation in Beijing, and he does not have so many intertwined connections behind him, and he has been squeezed out by the powerful recently, so it is possible for him to be used.

After much thought, King Jinyang still agreed to General Hu's request. He arranged a meeting with the latter's other supporters, and by the way, brought everyone together to discuss the details of the "big plan".

When General Hu saw those henchmen of King Jinyang, he was really secretly surprised. The problem is that there are many people present who are General Hu who never expected to participate in this kind of action, and many of them are magnates in the last years of the first emperor's dynasty, and they lost their power after the new monarch took the throne. These people don't know if they have ever attached themselves to King Ying or Zhu Lifei, and participated in the plot against King Jinyang, and King Jinyang can work with them for ambition, which can be regarded as a character. General Hu secretly wrote down these people.

These people were not decent people who were loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and whether they knew about General Hu's existence in advance or not, they all observed him with a cautious attitude at this time. They also know that if the king of Jinyang can really succeed, General Hu will most likely become the ruler of the country in the future. No matter how much merit they have made, they must pay tribute to General Hu for three points. Everyone had different thoughts, some deliberately befriended General Hu, some were disdainful and too lazy to pay attention, and some people saw him unpleasantly, and deliberately tried to make their own daughter replace the Hu family daughter after using the troops in his hands.

Among them, a careful person noticed one thing: "A few days ago, Jiannanhou seemed to have gone to the house, do you have a relationship?" ”

These words attracted everyone's attention, and they began to look at General Hu with vigilant eyes, because everyone knew that the Marquis of Jiannan was from the emperor's side.

Gao Zhen and Zhao Wei had already prepared for this, and when the latter went back to Hu's house for the first time, he was very generous. Unabashed, naturally easy to know. However, Zhao Wei also did remedial work afterwards, and sacrificed most of the wedding vacation for this. But it also made things over. General Hu took advantage of this to deal with the man's question: "He married his wife at the beginning of the month, and I gave a congratulatory gift, but I didn't go to the banquet. In addition to my family, he went to several other houses. We, the old county masters, have actually always wanted to move around again. But where do I have the patience to deal with children? ”

After Zhao Wei got married, he did go to several other families for courtesy visits, and even the Wang family went, and everyone believed what General Hu said. In fact, Gao Zhen and Zhao Wei are rigorous. Afterwards, he never went to the door of Hu's house in public, and if he needed to see General Hu, he would enter and exit through the back door in disguise. General Hu even sent away his household servants, and no one saw them. What's more, it's the King of Jinyang and his henchmen?

General Hu finally gained the trust of everyone. They began to really discuss their plans. King Jinyang had previously heard from the demoted imperial physician that the emperor had sent a secret envoy to find out the whereabouts of Doctor Ye, so he had been worried that they would find Doctor Ye and cure the emperor's eyes. He also sent someone to follow those attendants, planning that when they found Dr. Ye, he would immediately take a black hand, and he would not let Dr. Ye enter Beijing smoothly. It's a pity that the chamberlains have not been able to find Dr. Ye's whereabouts, and his arrangement has failed. The emperor has been treated by Jiang Cheng for eye injuries. It is said that the effect is not bad, and even Dr. Ye has news recently. King Jinyang was anxious. I was going to do tricks on the medicine in the Tai Hospital, so I had already bought two medicine boys. Regardless of whether the emperor's chief doctor is Jiang Cheng or Doctor Ye, if there is a problem with the medicine, it will not work.

General Hu knew that it was impossible for King Jinyang to be really obedient and not do anything retrograde, but he was still shocked when he heard their real plan. King Jinyang noticed it and smiled at him. General Hu paused, quickly calmed down, and smiled back, but he was extremely happy in his heart.

King Jinyang and others planned to assassinate the emperor at this year's Emperor's Great Sacrifice Ceremony, but they wanted to make the illusion that the emperor was only seriously injured and died to confuse outsiders. At the same time, in order to prevent things from going wrong, someone else came to compete with King Jinyang for the throne, and they had to think of ways to solve the emperor's eldest son. As for King Guangping, he should not be the opponent of King Jinyang, so he doesn't have to pay attention to it.

The king of Jinyang and others discussed all kinds of details, divided their work, and went their own way. General Hu sweated on his forehead when he heard this, but he still had to pretend to be very approving of it, and he didn't dare to show any abnormalities, which really gave full play to 200% of his acting potential. When he heard that the task assigned to him by King Jinyang was to lead the troops to guard outside the venue of the anniversary festival of the first emperor and assist in forcing the palace, his expression was already very calm, and he could confidently say "No problem, everything is on me".

The king of Jinyang was very satisfied with his words and deeds, thinking that he was really going to contribute to himself, and said many words of encouragement, and made a blood alliance with everyone, wrote everyone's names on a yellow brocade scroll, and hid them secretly before leaving with everyone.

That night, two henchmen were secretly arrested by the emperor's henchmen and severely interrogated.

These two people were specially selected by Gao Zhen after reading the list of all the henchmen of King Jinyang. They were high-ranking officials in the last years of the first emperor's dynasty, and they had a good relationship with King Ying and Zhu Li's concubines' families, although they were not convicted of rebellion, but they also lost power after the new monarch succeeded to the throne. Such a person will take refuge in the King of Jinyang, of course, not because of loyalty or some other righteous and bright ideal. The emperor's henchmen were punished a little, and they were recruited.

Then, the third and fourth people were arrested, and before the anniversary of the first emperor, and before Dr. Ye arrived in the capital, the henchmen of King Jinyang were almost arrested, and the human and material evidence was complete. On the grounds of the confessions of these people, the emperor directly ordered the Zongren Mansion to ban the King of Jinyang, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty objected.

Only the king of Guangping persuaded the emperor once, although the king of Jinyang had a rebellious heart, but he had not really gone against the grain, nor did he cause a great chaos. After all, he is also a brother, the blood of the first emperor, it is enough to confine him in the palace for a lifetime, so let's leave his life. Otherwise, the sons of the first emperor, only the emperor and the king of Guangping survived, and the Marquis of Shanyin was a sinner, and he was passed out early.

The emperor didn't know if he listened to this, he was convinced that his right eye was made by the king of Jinyang, and he was blind, and he hated the king of Jinyang in his heart, and he didn't want to cheapen the other party. But if he was told to kill this brother neatly, he would feel unhappy, so he temporarily left the other party's life behind, intending to torture him slowly.

Although Zhao Xiu couldn't reward her clearly, the emperor also thanked her for her wit and decisiveness, and privately rewarded her with a lot of good things, just to add makeup to her. As for General Hu, the emperor didn't know that he was really going to rebel, but he was a loyal, but he trusted him a little more than before, not only rewarded a lot of good things, but also added a second-grade false title. Because of pity for his daughter, in order to win the trust of King Jinyang, she was married for no reason, and her reputation was damaged, and she was very enthusiastic to ask the queen mother to be a matchmaker and gave her a marriage to an unmarried child of a distant branch clan.

General Hu got an unexpected benefit, and successfully sent the deputy to the Liaodong border with a letter of recommendation, which was called "cultivating talents", and the deputy's family could only thank him, and there was no way to scold him, and he was extremely happy in his heart. Looking back and thinking about it carefully, all this was brought to him by Zhao Wei. It seems that he will still have to get closer to Jiannan Hou Mansion in the future. The two families have a relationship, and it would be a pity if they broke off their relations, and they still had to move around again in the future.

Under his leadership, many people from the old department of the former county lord gradually resumed contact with the Jiannan Hou Mansion. Zhao Wei, the young Marquis of Jiannan, has added a lot of weight to the court, which makes people dare not underestimate it more and more. (To be continued......)
