With a "boom", Long Ji was kicked away from a high place, and tumbled from the jade steps to the top of the hall.

Zhang Rang and He Jin trembled together, knelt down at the bottom of the steps, and buried their heads deeply. Although he knew that it would inevitably attract the thunderous wrath of the Spirit Emperor, no one expected that the Son of Heaven would stomp his dragon table in anger, but fortunately, there was no one on this side hall except for the monarch and the minister, and he was not afraid of going out to make people laugh.

Nan Ying gently lifted the dragon table up, walked up the stairs to put the dragon table back on, and said with a wry smile: "Why should Your Majesty be angry? Fortunately, Master Zhang was uninjured this time, and the thieves were also killed and injured! ”

There were no outsiders here, only him, Zhang Rang, He Jin, and Jia Xu, and he was not masked.

Emperor Ling looked at Nan Ying, and saw that he was grinning his teeth in pain because of the wound caused by the placement of the dragon table, and he was even more angry: "Zhang Rang has never been injured, but Nan Qing has been injured in three places, how can he not make me afraid?" ”

He almost raised his leg to kick the dragon again, but finally held back, and slammed it with a heavy palm instead: "And! Chang Shi Mansion and Luoyang Prison were attacked at the same time, and Tang Zhou was also robbed! All of this is happening right under my nose, it's so bold and arrogant! ”

He gasped a few times angrily and shouted: "Zhang Rang, He Jin, you say!" What do I do? In order to snow this shame! ”

Zhang Rang buried his head even lower, and exclaimed sadly: "The old minister is incompetent, causing Mr. Ling Nan to be injured in many places in order to save the old minister, and it is even more humiliating to the Son of Heaven and humiliating the Han family, and the old minister can only thank him with death!" ”

The Spirit Emperor glared and said, "Can your death bring back my face?" Absurd! Confused! ”

Zhang Rang's heart was terrified, Emperor Ling had never reprimanded him like this for many years, it seemed that this attack on Zhang's mansion had injured Nan Ying again, which had completely angered Emperor Ling.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at He Jin for help, and at the critical moment, he could only hope that this son and daughter's in-laws could excuse themselves.

He Jin raised his head and said, "Your Majesty! Now the only way to deal with people is to treat people first! ”

Emperor Ling was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Are you saying that you want to immediately conquer the Taiping Dao?" I have come to ask you, have you found out the whereabouts of the three Zhang Jiao brothers and the place where they plotted rebellion? ”

He Jin was stunned and said: "This is not true, but it is ........."

"Bang!" Emperor Ling's anger rose again, "Then what are you talking about treating people first?" The enemy is dark and I am clear, where do you mobilize a large army to ask for them? Do you think I have too much money to spend? ”

He Jin shrank his head and didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Zhang Rang saw that He Jin was also scolded so much that he had a series of bitterness in his heart, so he had to look at Nanying again.

Nan Ying thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty! Lord He is actually not wrong, the Taiping Dao rebellion is a matter of time, and it is imperative for the court to send troops to conscript, rather than waiting, it is better to gather the army as soon as possible, so as to make a plan! ”

"Nanqing! Why are you so rash? Emperor Ling's tone slowed down slightly, but the meaning of blame in his words was clear, "What is the war?" It's soldiers and horses, it's money and food! Don't you want to send troops? ”

He sighed lightly: "After I returned from Yiyang, I have been worrying all day long, and what I am worried about is this soldier, horse, money and food!" Now there are only 40,000 horses near Luoyang, and the grain is only 200,000 stones! You teach me how to start the battle with ease! ”

"What?" Nanying lost his voice and said, "How can there be only such a little!" ”

Zhang Rang said: "For decades, the court has been overstretched in order to resist Xianbei and pacify Xiqiang. In recent months, for the relief after the pandemic, the treasury of various places has been emptied, and Your Majesty is almost worried about gray hair! ”

The Spirit Emperor sighed and said, "So, is it war or peace?" I don't have a clue what to do next! ”

Nanying was shocked in his heart, in this way, isn't it difficult to ride a tiger? On the other hand, the Taiping Road has been dormant for many years, accumulating wealth everywhere, and Wang Du almost stole from prison and emptied the taxes of a county. It is certain that Taiping Dao has secretly gathered an incredible amount of money and food, and they will definitely not worry about it.

He couldn't help but sweat when he thought about it, he wouldn't be able to defeat the Taiping Dao with the soldiers and horses of the court, right? So wouldn't it be self-defeating to make a gambling contract with Ma Yuanyi for the next year? Won't history go exactly as it knows?

Emperor Ling saw that Nan Ying was stunned, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart, he originally wanted to ask Nan Ying to come up with an idea, but it seemed that he was powerless.

Suddenly, he saw that Jia Xu was bowing his head and thinking deeply, and he couldn't help but regenerate a glimmer of hope, this person's intelligence is definitely rare in the world, why not give it a try?

Emperor Ling coughed heavily and feigned anger: "Jia Xu, I can't move an inch now, can't you show me a clear path with your ingenuity?" ”

Jia Xu looked up in amazement and said, "It's hard to move an inch? But Your Majesty, Xiaomin has just calculated the fourth step! ”

The ears of the crowd could barely believe it, and blurted out: "What fourth step?" ”

Jia Xu's face was filled with helplessness, and he said in a heavy voice: "Your Majesty is worried about the money and food of this soldier, horse, and horse, but in fact, this matter is not to worry about!" It's not difficult to break the situation, Xiaomin has already calculated four of the five steps to break the game, but he is frightened, and the more he calculates, the more afraid he becomes! ”

He looked at the stunned monarchs and ministers, and said with a wry smile: "Before I say these few steps, Xiaomin still has a big thing to do. If Your Majesty and your lords want to hear the truth, please pardon the little people for their capital crimes! ”

"Bang!" Emperor Ling's hands hurt this time, but his surprise was overflowing, "As long as you can solve the situation in front of you!" Not only will I not condemn you, but I will reward you greatly! Jia Qing, please speak boldly! ”

Jia Xu took a deep breath: "This time, the one who attacked Chang Shi Mansion and Luoyang Prison overnight is definitely not Taiping Dao!" ”

Suddenly, the needles falling on the side hall can be heard.

Nan Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in shock: "Could it be that it's them again!" ”

Zhang Rang and He Jin's hearts jumped at the same time, they naturally knew who Nanying was talking about.

Emperor Ling's face was covered with a layer of green energy, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"Nope!" Jia Xu said calmly, "But Your Majesty, please think about it, Ma Yuanyi has just been arrested, and all the hidden forces of Taiping Dao in Luoyang and the surrounding areas have been hit hard, do they still have the strength to attack two heavily defended places at the same time?" ”

The answer is clearly no! Taiping Dao's biggest concern now should not be to take revenge and punish the traitors, their first thing should be to concentrate the limited elite, quickly organize a large army, and openly carry out the rebellion! ”

Emperor Ling's eyes sharpened: "If it was indeed those people who did it, what was their purpose?" ”

Jia Xu lowered his head: "This is just my guess!" Their purpose should be divided into light and dark, and there is a difference between virtual and real! ”

Nan Ying's head was big when he heard it: "Wenhe! Can you try to put it in layman's terms? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Okay! Let me start with the bright side, what is the purpose of the thieves' large-scale attack on Chang Shi Mansion and Luoyang Prison respectively? ”

Nan Ying was stunned and said: "Of course, the attack on the Chang Shi Mansion is to assassinate the Chang Shi Lord, and the attack on Luoyang Prison, I originally thought that it was to eliminate the traitor Tang Zhou, but you also think that the killers are not Taiping Dao, but the family of Huiren!" I don't understand the reason! ”

The Spirit Emperor and the others listened attentively, and they also nodded in unison. Nanying's question just expressed their doubts.

"The reason is simple!" Jia Xu wrote lightly, "Because Tang Zhou is also their person!" ”

Several people were struck by lightning together.

He Jin was shocked and said, "How is this possible? So, why does he still want to? ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Lord He wants to ask, so why did they still expose Ma Yuanyi's conspiracy in time and indirectly save Luoyang!" ”

The Spirit Emperor nodded in unison.

Jia Xu sighed lightly and said in a daze: "That's why I said, the more I think about it, the more afraid I become!" What a deep calculation! Since the assassination of the Son of Heaven, they have been playing Taiping Dao in the palm of their hands, making them unknowingly become the tools of others without knowing it! ”

Nanying had a very inappropriate feeling and shouted, "What the hell do you want to say! ”

Jia Xu said, "Don't you understand? They first wanted to put the Son of Heaven to death, but we accidentally destroyed it! And Ma Yuanyi's plan was really seamless, infringing on their interests, so they did not hesitate to intervene, and put all disputes and confrontations directly between the court and Taiping Dao, just for four words! ”

"Lose both! Is that right? Emperor Ling's face looked a little hideous, "They can profit from it!" ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, bowed down and said, "Son of Heaven Shengming!" So Xiaomin dared to guess that their purpose last night, to assassinate Master Zhang, was fake, and to rescue Tang Zhou was real, because their purpose had been achieved! After experiencing incidents such as the assassination of the Son of Heaven and the surprise attack on Luoyang, if the Son of Heaven does not take measures against the Taiping Road, he will not be able to explain to the military and people of the world! And Taiping Dao will never sit still, and can only rush to fight! ”

Zhang Rang suddenly said: "Tang Zhou is the only person who knows, if he continues to stay in prison, this secret will be leaked, so they pretended to kill me, attracted the attention of the soldiers and horses in the city, attacked Luoyang Prison in one fell swoop, rescued Tang Zhou, and completely cut off this clue!" ”

"Not bad!" Jia Xu's face flashed with insight into everything, "So the assassination of Lord Zhang is false, and the escape and rescue is real; Blatant revenge is clear, and further intensifying the contradiction between the court and the Taiping Road is dark! ”

He sneered: "Now it seems that Feng Xu must also be their person, because he and Tang Zhou launched it at the same time, and the ingenuity of the coordination is really unbelievable. It's very similar to last night's situation, and it seems that the person in charge of them is a master of layout! ”

"Humph!" Nanying finally understood, and couldn't help but feel angry that he was driven by the blindness of others, and he sneered, "However, doesn't the person in charge know that if the calculation is extremely subtle, it will leave flaws everywhere? ”

Jia Xu lowered his head again, thought for a while and said, "Although the lord said it is good! But we have missed the opportunity, and every time they lose, we have to defend passively, and in that sense, their plan has succeeded! As for whether or not there is a flaw, there is no actual damage! ”

Nan Ying nodded: "Is this the legendary Yang Mou?" All right! I'll admit that we fell behind in this round, but I want to know! ”

He clenched his fists and said angrily, "If we can sweep away the Taiping Dao in the shortest possible time, will they still be able to laugh?" ”

The Spirit Emperor exhaled lightly: "It's so dangerous! But it's okay! ”

His gaze gently swept over a few people, and his face was as calm as water: "I almost lost my square inch and fell for the thief's trick!" But fortunately, there are Wenhe Dao who break through the sky, and there are a few Aiqing who are worried about me, why worry that the thieves will not be destroyed, and the Han will not prosper? ”

Jia Xu keenly heard that the Spirit Emperor had changed his name to him, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

Emperor Ling muttered, "Then, the thief layout is to hope that I will start a war with Zhang Jiao as soon as possible in order to achieve their fisherman's profit. Jia Wenhe, haven't you already come up with a five-step strategy? Tell me, what should you do as the first step in breaking the game? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "This first step, Your Majesty can draw up an edict now and immediately conquer Taiping Dao!" ”

Everyone was shocked and said, "Isn't this exactly what the thief wants?" ”
