Chapter Eighty-Eight: People Are Afraid of Death
Lu Zifei continued: "The king sent Zhang Xiang to solve General Yeli Ganglangling is only the first step, who do you think about the second step?" ”
Ning Lingge blurted out: "You said that my father would attack my two uncles, it is impossible, the two uncles are my father's confidants, right-hand men, and they also control hundreds of thousands of mountain soldiers in the Tiandu Mountain camp, how could my father make such a dizzy decision." ”
Lu Zifei continued: "The mountain boundary soldiers are powerful, no matter how powerful they are, they can beat more than 300,000 living and captured troops, as well as the central guards around the king, and tens of thousands of elite garrisons in the Beijing Division, they are all carefully selected warriors from various military camps, and the enemies who are several times their size are not necessarily their opponents in the case of a head-to-head battle, this highness always believes it, right?" ”
Brother Ning Lingge smiled, he felt that there was no possibility of Lu Zifei's words, he still explained: "Even if my father can defeat the two uncles, it will be a lose-lose situation, what good is it for my father to do something that hurts the enemy by one thousand and loses eight hundred, you also underestimate my father, there is no need for him to kill the two uncles at all." “
Lu Zifei's laughter was sarcastic, which made Brother Ning Ling very uncomfortable to hear, and Brother Ning Lingge said angrily: "If you have something, just say it, don't blame me for throwing you out of the house and handing it over to my father." ”
Lu Zifei stopped laughing and said, "It's not that I underestimate the king, but that I underestimate you, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Although Brother Ning Ling was very unhappy, the prince's bearing was still there, and he said: "Tell me your reason, why do you underestimate this king." ”
Lu Zifei said: "This is like lice on a bald man's head, is it obvious?" The power of the Yeli family has aroused the king's wariness, do you understand? Your mother is from the Yeli family, your two uncles are also capable of fighting well, and the military department Shangshu Yeli Renrong, the commander of the Xiangqing Army to make Yeli Ganglangling, plus you, the nephew of the Yeli family, are you sitting in that seat? The power of the Yeli family is faintly more powerful than that of the royal family, and the king will not be able to see it. ”
Brother Ning Lingge said: "The two uncles have no ambitions, they don't go to the Tiandu Mountain military camp when there is no war, they basically drink at home, and they don't see anything out of the ordinary!" My father was afraid of why they wanted to kill their cousin. ”
Lu Zifei said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't see that the king is cutting off the wings of the two kings first?" If I'm not mistaken, Lord Shoshono Hitoei of the Ministry of War must not have been to the court in the past two days, do you know this. ”
Brother Ning Ling nodded and said, "This is indeed as you said, Uncle Renrong has been in poor health recently, and his father allowed him to recuperate at home and not to go to court." ”
Lu Zifei smiled and said: "Your Highness will send someone to take a look now, there must be someone guarding the door of Lord Renrong's house, only allowed to enter but not out, we are not in a hurry, Your Highness will let people go first to see if this is the case." ”
Brother Ning Lingge gestured to General Bai, neither of them spoke in the living room, one was thinking about the plan behind, the other was thinking about how much truth there was in these words, time passed little by little, and the person who went to investigate came back and said to Brother Ning Ling: "We went to visit Lord Renrong in the name of His Highness, and the people of the garrison guarded the door and said; If you go in, you can't come out, so a brother went in with a tonic to investigate, and I came back to tell Your Highness. ”
Brother Ning Lingge waved his hand to signal the man to step back, and asked Lu Zifei: "Uncle Renrong doesn't have any troops in his hands, what's the use of watching him." ”
Lu Zifei said: "It's very useful, Lord Renrong has been in the court for many years, and the slightest change can't escape his eyes, the king is afraid that Lord Renrong will tell the truth of the matter to the two kings, and then the situation of the two kings jumping over the wall in a hurry will be difficult to clean up." ”
At this time, Brother Ning Ling really realized the seriousness of the matter, this is burning his eyebrows, as the prince of the Western Xia Kingdom, he should not hesitate to stand on his father's side, but things are often so magical, the Yeli family is his maternal uncle's family, and he is the most powerful supporter of his relatives, his father is not yet forty years old this year, that is, he abdicated at the age of sixty, he still has twenty years to cultivate a successor, the Yeli family is destroyed, and the position of himself and his mother does not seem to be so strong.
Brother Ning Ling said: "Then what do you think I can do now, what my father wants to do, I don't have the strength to stop it." ”
Lu Zifei said: "The most important thing for you now is to write a letter to tell the two kings about this situation, they have returned to Tiandu Mountain and mastered 100,000 mountain boundary soldiers, and the king may give up this road to solve it by force, so that the two sides will have the opportunity to sit down and talk about this matter, once there is a conflict, Xingqing Mansion will become a hell on earth, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood." ”
Brother Ning Ling's heart struggled for a moment before making a decision, he chose to tell the two uncles the news, he said to Lu Zifei: "You wait for me here, I'll write a letter." ”
When Brother Ning Ling wrote the letter, he handed it over to his clan, General Bai, and did not give it to Lu Zifei, a person of unknown origin could not gain his trust in a short time.
Lu Zifei said: "Your Royal Highness can't trust me, this is also human nature, then have you thought about it, it is your cronies who sent the letter, I think most of the people in Xingqing Mansion know him, the two kings escaped from your hands, do you think the king will let you sit in the position of the prince?" You didn't dare to go against me before you became the king, and let go of the person I wanted to kill, and you became the king, then you paid it back, do you think the king will think like this, I think the king will be 100%. ”
Brother Ning Ling stared at Lu Zifei and said, "What are you doing this for, I don't know if you come from that kind of thought, are you helping me or harming me." ”
Lu Zifei shook his shoulders and said, "Does Your Highness still have a choice now?" My good classmate Liu Yang is supported by Zhang Xiang behind, although you occupy the righteousness, it must be you who laughs last, I think you know very well. ”
Brother Ning Ling's reign as the prince has not been for a long time, his eldest brother Li Ningming only practiced qigong two years ago and went mad and couldn't eat and died, otherwise the prince's seat really wouldn't be his turn to sit, and it was the first time he had encountered such a major event as the life and death of more than 100,000 people.
"Are you going?" Looking at his expression, you can know that he is in pain, this is a betrayal of his father, and he has to do it for that position.
Lu Zifei said with a smile: "Your Highness has made a wise decision, with just one letter, the left king and the right king will not believe me, I still need His Highness's letter to me, as long as it is His Highness's belongings." ”
Horses are bought, and you still care about the money for a saddle? Brother Ning Lingge casually took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Lu Zifei and said: "This jade pendant can be used in Xingqing Mansion to go through unimpeded peers, and the entire Western Xia is just such a piece, or my father rewarded me on the day I became the prince, and my uncle will know when he sees the jade pendant." ”
Lu Zifei said: "This matter should be sooner rather than later, I will leave first, Your Highness is waiting for my good news." In addition to the Prince's Mansion, Lu Zifei made an OK gesture, the little wolf slowly withdrew from the crowd after seeing it, the little wolf once persuaded Lu Zifei not to go to see Brother Ning Ling, Lu Zifei said that he had a way, just let himself wait for him outside the Prince's Mansion, watch his gestures act, the gesture just now means that he will act according to the original plan, and the task on his body is not light, so he has to go back and prepare well.
Zuo Wang Yeli's mansion is more magnificent than the prince's mansion to be honest, the four words Tiandu Wangfu on the plaque are shining with gold, seeing Lu Zifei's guard directly expelled, he didn't say anything superfluous, it seems that it is right to ask Ning Lingge for a token, take out the jade pendant and hand it to the guard, the guard knelt directly on the ground, Lu Zifei said: "Go in and report, I want to see the prince." ”
After a while, a drunken man with an open chest and exposed his breasts, and an eight-foot-tall man came out and said to Lu Zifei: "Are you holding this jade pendant to see this king?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”
Lu Zifei said: "I am a disciple of Zhang Xiang's early year, when the master led the troops out two days ago, I was asked to stay with the prince to listen to the errand, the prince got the news that something big happened, and the people around him were inconvenient to send letters, so I was a little angry, so let me send a letter to the prince." ”
Ye Li Yu begged as he entered the mansion and said: "This king still has guests, is the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince serious?" Why didn't he come in person? ”
Lu Zifei said in a low voice: "It is about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the Yeli family, including the two princes. ”
Ye Li Yu begged for wine and woke up in an instant, he grabbed Lu Zifei's collar with one hand and lifted him in the air and said, "You repeat what you just said, I didn't hear it clearly." ”
Hung in the air, Lu Zifei was suffocated, not by suffocation due to lack of oxygen, but by the smell coming from Yeli Yuqi's body, is this that he has not taken a bath since he was born? In the 21st century, all the stinky socks accumulated in the men's college dormitory are what they smell, and what Lu Zifei smells now.
He held his breath, the taste of a mouth rushed into his mouth again, he pointed to his throat, Yeli Yu beggar put him down, took a few gulps of fresh air and said: "The king and the king's family are facing a catastrophe, and the king still has the heart to drink here, it's really a good thing." After speaking, he gave Brother Ning Ling's letter to Yeli Yuqi.
Ye Li Yu begging with a thin two-page paper feels heavier than a thousand catties, the prince's token, the prince's handwritten letter, the news is true, before the eldest brother mentioned this matter he didn't care, but he didn't expect the king to do it, since it was Zhang Yuan who went to Xiping Mansion, although the cousin is a fierce general, but there is no possibility of sparing, he put away the letter, and said to the subordinate quietly: "Take him to the study"
Lu Zifei sat in a study that was not like a study, and outside the door, Ye Li Yuqi said to his soldiers: "Watch the door, no one is allowed to approach within ten zhang." ”
"The prince's letter said that the eldest brother's mansion has been monitored, so is my mansion also being monitored."
Lu Zifei said: "The king must first solve the peripheral forces of the prince, isn't it a surprise to monitor your mansion?" It should be soon, though. ”
The ferocity of Yeli Yu beggar was exposed, and he said: "I have done so much for the party, and whoever wants me to die, I will make him unhappy." ”
