Chapter 618: Han Zhi seduces King Qi with power
"How's the Wuchuan pawn eye-eyed guard?" In the study of the Qi Palace, Li Yuanji was talking to Shi Hanzhi, the governor of the palace.
Xiao Yu impeached Li Yuanji on the grounds of overstepping the system, so that he nominally lost the Wuchuan Division, and now Han Zhi has become the chief official of the Wuchuan Division, but in fact, he is just a puppet, and the real master is still Li Yuanji. From this, it can be seen that Li Yuan did not compromise with the courtiers, but in another way let Li Yuanji continue to be in charge of the murderous weapon of Wuchuan Division.
As for the 'one-eyed' guard, it was Li Yuan's murderous weapon that he created in order to seize the world, and when Taiyuan was left behind, this assassin team made great contributions to Li Yuan, and before he got up, he used this assassination team to kill many generals loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty. Later, Li Yuan founded the Tang Dynasty, and the 'only eye' rarely appeared, but last year, Li Yuanji, under the instruction of his father, established the Wuchuan Division, and included the 'only eye' into it.
This one-eyed guard, like Wuchuan's pawn, is currently managed by Han Zhi and directly obeys Li Yuanji's orders, but Li Yuanji has no right to use the one-eyed guard, only Li Yuan, the son of heaven, can call it, that is, the owner of the one-eyed guard is still Li Yuan, but Li Yuan did it very skillfully and let his son help him control it, so that he has nothing to do with this assassin. If it is exposed, there will be other people who will take the blame, and it will not damage the emperor's reputation.
Han Zhi replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, they are very good and can be on call at any time." ”
Li Yuanji nodded, stared at Han Zhi, and said word by word: "The palace just sent the Angry Eyes King Kong Order. ”
There are three kinds of commands for the only eye guard: 'Wisdom Eye', 'Wisdom Eye', and 'Angry Eye King Kong', the 'Wisdom Eye Unique Order' has been used a lot, and it is basically an order to monitor the minister, while the 'Wisdom Eye Recognition Order' is an espionage order against external enemies, and as for the 'Angry Eye King Kong Order', it is naturally an order to kill people, but so far, the latter two orders have not appeared. Now hearing Li Yuanji say this, Han Zhi knew that the first assassination mission had appeared.
However, Han Zhi was not surprised or surprised, the Wu Chuan pawns, including the one-eyed guard, were themselves an assassin organization, and this kind of assassination order would come sooner or later. The one-eyed guard is composed of Jianghu people who come and go, and they can't be guarded against, if it is aimed at the Great Sui, it is really good to remind Emperor Shengwu. After pondering for a long time, he arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, I don't know who the Angry Eyes Vajra Order is for?" ”
"See for yourself!" Li Yuanji handed a note to Han Zhi and said with a yawn that he had been playing late with a group of palace maids last night, and he was awakened by this order not long after he fell asleep.
Han Zhi took a look and couldn't help but look at Li Yuanji in surprise, Li Yuanji seemed to enjoy this feeling, and laughed: "When I first saw it, I was as shocked as you, and even I was so shocked that I didn't feel sleepy. ”
"How can it be Dugu?" Han Zhi asked suspiciously.
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Li Yuanji glanced at Han Zhi angrily, and then said, "Maybe it's because of the Xiangyang fire case." ”
Wu Chuan Division has been tracking down the real culprit of the Xiangyang fire case, and found some clues, after the arsonist left the place where the crime occurred, he fled to Xiangyang Fang, and these Li Fang have Dugu's house, but there is not enough evidence, Li Yuan did not make a conclusion, but let Wu Chuansi continue to investigate.
"Your Highness, things are not as simple as you think!"
"Where is the simplicity?"
Although Han Zhi overturned his inference, Li Yuanji was not angry, just because Han Zhi was thoughtful, but more importantly, the idea was very vicious, which was very suitable for Li Yuanji's appetite, in addition, Han Zhi always spied on some of the core military information of the Great Sui through the Lingyun caravan, so that Li Yuanji's status in Li Yuan's heart was rising, and the reason why he obtained the supreme position of supervising the hundred officials was closely related to Han Zhi, a military advisor, and Han Zhi was his right-hand man, Li Yuanji felt that he was lucky, so he would not hide any action from him, Gradually, Han Zhi became his mastermind.
"My Tang Dynasty is in crisis now, many people secretly communicate with the Sui Dynasty, thinking that they can leave a way back for themselves, and the Guanlong nobles are no exception, which can be known from the Guanlong nobles' collective visit to Fang Xuanling, but what agreement they reached with Fang Xuanling, the saint doesn't know at all, let alone start, so he simply takes Dugu to start, which can rush to deter other Guanlong nobles."
Li Yuanji still asked with some puzzlement: "We already have enough evidence to prove that the arson case was committed by the Dugu clan, as long as the witnesses are found and the culprits are caught, a public trial can be held to convict Dugu, why let the 'one-eyed guard' take action?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, I feel that this is because of the great power of the Guanlong nobles, and during the Great Cause, Yang Guang openly executed Yuan Zhou, He Ruobi, Yuwenbi and other Guanlong backbones, causing the Guanlong nobles to break with the Sui Dynasty. The saint should have been worried that the old events of the Sui Dynasty would repeat themselves in my Tang Dynasty, so he did not deal with the Dugu clan publicly, but he had to use thunder means to deter the Guanlong nobles, so he warned in this way. ”
"If someone from the Guanlong nobles has different aspirations, attacking Dugu will only encourage more people to breed betrayal, right?" Li Yuanji is not stupid, but he is more violent and has always been too lazy to use his brain.
"This is a dead knot that cannot be resolved peacefully, because in order to obtain the full support of the Guanlong nobles, the saint allows them to have the power of the private army, such as all the victories of my Datang, if the situation is not good, the private army of the Guanlong nobles is a fatal knife to the heart of my Datang. Therefore, the Holy One must try to disarm this force full of uncertainties. Only in this way can I, Datang, meet the enemy with peace of mind, so as not to be taken to the rear by the Guanlong nobles. ”
Li Yuanji suddenly said: "No wonder my father asked us to supervise General Guan Long in the army. ”
Han Zhi lowered his voice and said, "The Holy Lord is full of jealousy of the private army of the Guanlong nobles, and His Highness should do his best to amplify the threat of the private army in front of the Holy Lord. ”
"Why is that?" Li Yuanji asked puzzled.
"On the one hand, it is to work together with the Holy One, so that the Holy One can feel that His Highness has won the Sacred Heart, so as to gain more trust and power from the Holy One; On the other hand, this is also an opportunity for His Highness, as long as the Holy Lord attacks the private army of the Guanlong nobles, then he will not be able to bypass His Highness, His Highness must control this army at that time, with this army and Wuchuan pawn, Bashu and Jingxiang are His Highness. As long as the imperial court and the army of the King of Jin suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with the Sui Dynasty, wouldn't the Li Tang Dynasty have the final say in His Highness, who has the most troops? His Royal Highness's boxer is the hardest, what about the crown prince and the king of Jin? When the time comes, you can make the saint the emperor. According to the arrangement of the imperial court, Han Zhi bewitched Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji's heart was pounding suddenly, this is the devil hidden in his heart, before it was because of the suppression of the three fathers and brothers, so that this power devil did not sprout, and now when he heard Han Zhiyi say, Li Yuanji suddenly felt that he also had the capital to be an emperor, if it was brewed well, he might not be able to become a prince and an emperor. In an instant, the devil of power grew bigger and bigger in his heart, and the ambition to take the throne completely filled his heart.
"What am I going to do?" Li Yuanji asked urgently.
"Stay away from wine, and be a qualified prince who has deeds, responsibilities, and wisdom and martial arts, this is one of them; Second, obey all the orders of the Holy Lord, complete all the tasks of the Holy Lord, and as long as you become the most trusted and obedient son of the Holy One, Your Highness will be able to gain more power. Han Zhi said in a low voice.
"Good! I listen to my husband in everything. Li Yuanji was so excited that his voice trembled.
Han Zhi was secretly happy in his heart, and arched his hand: "Your Highness thinks about how to do it, and the humble post will arrange any eye guard first, and then we will have a good life in the evening." ”
Li Yuanji hurriedly said: "Mr. Hard! On the day it is done, Mr. should take the first credit. ”
"The humble position was originally a lowly businessman, if it wasn't for the promotion of His Royal Highness, even the ordinary people would not be as good as the ordinary people, how could he have today's status? His Royal Highness knows the grace of encounter, and he can only do his best and die! Han Zhi said very gratefully.
"Good, good, good! One day, we will knock down those noble people and make them kneel before us. ”
Han Zhi's words stabbed Li Yuanji's wounded heart again. But almost all ugly people have an inferiority complex, especially Li Yuanji, who is so ugly that he has no friends, because of the arrogance inspired by his inferiority, his style of action is often unacceptably extreme.
