The imperial grandson suffered an unwarranted disaster, which is probably the most nonsense thing in the assassination farce, but it is precisely because of this nonsense that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, saw the opportunity, and also increased the confidence of Liang Shicheng, Wang Huang and others, and even Lin Lingsu, who was temporarily imprisoned in Jiuyang Palace, seemed to see the golden light.

Attacking the crown prince, just the demotion of the crown prince is not enough, under Wang Huang's planning, the eyes of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, are focused on Zhu Mian, if this 'southeast king' is brought down, the wind will blow in that direction, and the courtiers will have obvious decisions.

When the Spring Festival was approaching, an urgent secret letter was transmitted from Jiangnan to the capital, and after Liang Shicheng saw the secret letter, he knew that the opportunity had come, and he visited Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, overnight. You must know that the official family is extremely disgusted with the prince to win over the courtiers, and Liang Shicheng dared to enter the Yun Wang's Mansion overnight, which shows the importance of this secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, King Yun said, "Taifu, is this true? ”

"It's true, the prefect of Hangzhou is already on the way to the capital, Hangzhou has been conquered by the traitor Fang La, it seems that Zhu Mian has provoked the anger of the people in Jiangnan, if His Royal Highness makes a move at this time, it will definitely be a great credit, and it will be a fatal blow to the prince."

Liang Shicheng is also a ruthless man, the previous plan was for Liu Zhenglong to secretly assassinate Zhu Mian, and now that the thieves have conquered Hangzhou, there is no need to cover up Zhu Mian, but he should be arrested in the name of the imperial court.

The reason why Liang Shicheng has always wanted to get rid of Zhu Mian is because the two have always had a grudge, and on the other hand, he has set his sights on the rich Jiangnan, and this Zhu Mian can be said to be guilty.

King Yun pondered for a moment and then said, "Taifu secretly arrested the prefect of Hangzhou, and then handed it over to my father, and it was strictly forbidden to block the news. ”

Once the news of the fall of Hangzhou is known to the officials, then Zhu Mian's fate will be finalized, of course, the premise is that the news is strictly sealed, and Cai Jing and others cannot be known early, otherwise there will be many uncertain factors in this matter.

After Liang Shicheng left, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, ordered someone to get Liu Zhenglong up.

Yun Wang Zhao Kai still likes to associate with people like Liu Zhenglong, after all, Liang Shicheng and Wang Huang are too deep in the city, and they are very tiring.

Recently, Liu Zhenglong has been tired, on the one hand, he has to expand his business empire, and on the other hand, he has to study, after all, the old man Zhou Bangyan teaches his disciples very strictly, and he has to practice the calligraphy of thin gold body, and he has to submit it to the official family for approval every ten days.

The most tiring thing is the aspect of interpersonal communication, the golden sign of the protégé of the Son of Heaven, so that Liu Zhenglong, the Xuande Lang of the seventh grade, is busy like the minister of the political hall, and there are interpersonal relationships to be dealt with every day, if it were not for Pan Feng, Pan Yue's two brothers and Liu Mingjun to help straighten it out, this guy would definitely not be able to withstand this kind of bombardment of interpersonal relationships.

At this time, Liu Zhenglong can be regarded as having a little understanding of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are too many redundant officials, which are simply outrageous. It's just ordinary interpersonal communication, and the most important thing is that many high-ranking officials also take the initiative to make friends, but these people are not making friends, but sons-in-law for their daughters, this is what makes Liu Zhenglong the most headache, and they can't help with this problem Pan Feng.

It's not Pan Feng, Liu Mingjun can't help, but the Pan family, the Liu family also has the idea of recruiting a son-in-law, after all, everyone knows that Liu Zhenglong has not been married by Ming Media, but there are two women around him, Liu Rumei and Fang Jinxin. Zhengqipin can be said to be as many as a cow hair in the capital, but the protégé of the Son of Heaven is this one, plus both civil and military, almost everyone knows that once he enters the officialdom, the future is limitless, plus Liang Shicheng and Wang Huang's respect, it is definitely the rhythm of steady progress, just waiting for the next year's exam.

Liu Zhenglong was frightened by these people's sons-in-law, but King Yun should not have summoned him because of this matter, after all, it was far from enough for the protégé of the Son of Heaven to marry the emperor.

Yun Wangfu, listen to Shui Xuan.

Yun Wang Zhao Kai was very satisfied with Liu Zhenglong's attitude, he asked the other party to sit down and said: "Listen to Taifu, you have received the task of assassinating Zhu Mian, I don't know if it's true?" ”

"Yes, I am also ready to set off in the next few days and strive to end this matter before the Spring Festival." Liu Zhenglong didn't expect King Yun to mention this matter, whether it was the agreement with Fang Fei or Liang Shicheng's order, it was Zhu Mian's head, he always wanted to leave for Jiangnan, but he was too busy recently and couldn't get away for a while.

After handing over the secret letter to Liu Zhenglong, King Yun said, "After you read this, tell me what you think." ”

Liu Zhenglong understood at this time, King Yun was testing himself, he knew that he couldn't express his position easily, once he said the wrong thing, I am afraid that this little prince would not give himself another chance, it seems that the famous saying that a companion is like a tiger is so correct.

Although it is a test, it must also come up with a plan in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will be despised . Liu Zhenglong briefly sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your Highness, this matter depends on what kind of outcome you want. ”

"Oh, what do you think?"

King Yun is indeed testing Liu Zhenglong, he wants to form his own team, a young man like this is very suitable, it depends on how much storm this person can set off.

Liu Zhenglong said unhurriedly: "Taking down Zhu Mian can be said to be simple, whether it is the official family who recalls him or executes him secretly, it is not a problem." The key is what benefits it can bring to His Highness, which should be considered. Whether to push Your Highness to the forefront, let the courtiers see your domineering attitude of scolding Fang Xuan and looking down on the country, or let Your Majesty see that Your Highness is the most suitable for you, how to choose, there will be different plans. ”

"You can talk about both plans, don't say it in too much detail, just talk about it." Yun Wang Zhao Kai was very satisfied with Liu Zhenglong's answer, he believed that he did not see the wrong person, and he must not see the wrong person.

"If you want to stand out under the gaze of the courtiers, it is very simple, not difficult, Your Highness, you personally apply to go to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate the case, arrest Zhu Mian, investigate the fall of Hangzhou, and then ask the imperial court to send troops to quell the rebellion."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong said: "The prince of my dynasty does not leave Beijing easily, and he will not participate in government affairs, especially local affairs, as long as you apply for this matter and do it well, it will definitely impress the courtiers, and this matter is not difficult to do, it can be said that it is very simple, you only need to go through the motions to solve the problem, after all, it is not complicated to arrest Zhu Mian at all, if there is any problem here, that is, how can Zhu Mian be escorted back to Beijing after so many years of looting, Avoid Zhu Mian from hiding privately because of avoiding trouble. ”

Yun Wang Zhao Kai nodded, it is true that with the edict, Zhu Mian will have nowhere to escape, but the huge wealth that this guy has been greedy for so many years is likely to be hidden, and it will be difficult to get it back. If you can't get it back, then even if you capture Zhu Mian, it will be a complete failure.

"Then what do you say can make my father take a fancy to the ability of the Lone King?" After all, now that the crown prince is still on the throne, and the official family is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, in this case, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is very careful about proportion, and does not want to do too much to arouse the jealousy of his father, in that case, the gains outweigh the losses.

"In the name of arresting Zhu Mian, go down to the south of the Yangtze River to quell the rebellion, once the Fangla rebels are exterminated, then the prince will really go to the forefront, let the world know that you are more suitable than the prince, and the official family will also re-examine you."

Going down to the south of the Yangtze River to quell the rebellion, this is something that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, can't even think of, I'm afraid Liang Shicheng, Wang Di and others don't dare to think so, after all, this kind of thing is handed over to the military generals, what good can it be for such a prince who aspires to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme?

Liu Zhenglong knew that saying this would scare Zhao Kai, the only prince in the past, could only be said to be talented and rich, but he couldn't talk about any eloquence, otherwise he would not have been suppressed by Song Qinzong to death and could not turn over.

Xiaocao also has dreams like big trees, not to mention the prince who is only eight buckets tall?

King Yun pondered for a long time and said: "I'm afraid not, quelling the rebellion is not a trivial matter, if it is so simple, Zhu Mian will not let the rebels occupy Hangzhou." Besides, the father may not like it. ”

"The rebels are all refugees in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are oppressed by corrupt officials such as Zhu Mian all the year round, so there will be official coercion and civil rebellion, and the reason why Hangzhou is occupied by the rebels is not how much ability Fang La has, but that the prefect of Hangzhou was directly frightened and fled, giving Hangzhou to the rebels. As long as there is a suitable general to lead the forbidden army, then the counterinsurgency is simple, and at most three months, Fang La's group of thieves will be eliminated. ”

"Isn't it difficult to counter the rebellion? So who do you say can lead the troops? "Yun Wang Zhao Kai only knows how to win over important ministers such as Wang Huang, and he really selectively ignores the generals, how can he know who is suitable to lead the team?

Who is the most suitable, of course, Uncle Zhang is the most suitable, but Liu Zhenglong is selfish at this time, if Uncle Zhang goes on the expedition, then there is nothing to do with him, this kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others is extremely stupid.

Liu Zhenglong said: "The right guard general Pan Jingshuai's 30,000 forbidden troops can quell the rebellion if they go south, and Weichen is willing to solve Zhu Mian and escort this old thief's Wanguan family wealth into Beijing." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong paused, he saw that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, did not mean to agree, so he said: "Recently, Tong Guan and others are instigating the official family to unite with the north and south of the Jin State to attack the Liao State, with the goal of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Once the troops are dispatched, it must be Tong Guan in command of the army, and the prince is in command, then I am afraid that the position of the prince will be unbreakable in the future. ”
