Chapter 262: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. When faced with the arduous task of murdering the King of Han, Zheng Juzhong hesitated, and he finally decided to discuss it with his younger brother Zheng Zhongzhong, after all, it was about the future fate of the Zheng family, and this step must not be wrong.
Zheng Juzhong told the ins and outs of the matter, and finally he said: "Second brother, now the foolish brother is riding a tiger, killing the king of Han, the consequences are unimaginable, if you don't kill the king of Han, you can't explain it in the official family." The future fate of the Zheng family is tied to this matter, where to go, now my brother and I are so confused that I can't make up my mind, and I hope that my second brother can make suggestions. ”
"Big brother, do you think King Han has the strength to rebel?"
"Yes, as long as the King of Han wants to rebel, then the throne of the official family will not be imprisoned."
Zheng Zhong said with a wry smile: "Big brother, since King Han has the strength to rebel, does he have the heart to rebel?" ”
"It's hard to say, Taizu may not have had the heart to rebel back then, but he had the strength to rebel, so he was pushed by the people below to add to the yellow robe, and now the King of Han has no intention of rebellion, the people below will push this matter forward, and he can't stop at all." Perhaps this is the reason why Zheng Juzhong insisted on killing the King of Han, his daughter is the imperial concubine, and her fate is destined to be tied to the official family, how can she allow the King of Han to threaten the throne?
Zheng Zhong saw that his brother was obsessed, so he persuaded him bitterly: "Throughout the ages, there have been several heroes with the strength to rebel who will be murdered, big brother, you are a fan of the authorities." Do you think that if you put King Han under house arrest in King Yun's mansion, you must murder him? You must know that since the King of Han has the strength to rebel, he is not afraid of a showdown with the imperial court, he can completely ignore the holy decree and refuse to enter Beijing, and the official family has no way to take him. However, if he was ordered to enter Beijing, he must have made complete preparations. Murdering him, to put it bluntly, is to create an excuse for the Han king to plot and usurp the throne. Perhaps, the king of Han needs such an excuse. Don't forget, the meritorious family's control over the army is far greater than that of the official family, even if the king of Han is in the capital, it is difficult for the official family to strangle him. The reason why King Han didn't add a yellow robe was because he lacked an excuse that could block the mouths of the people in the world, and now it is equivalent to you and the official family taking the initiative to send him such an excuse. I dare to assert that no matter what method you use, you will not be able to kill the Han King. And once the matter leaks, the king of Han will rebel, and he will definitely uproot the Zheng family. ”
"Are you saying that King Han is now waiting for the official family to dig a pit, and he needs a reason to be in a bright yellow robe?"
"Yes." Zheng Zhong said categorically: "Over the years, I have been studying the King of Han, even if there is no assassination incident, he will concoct an assassination incident, and then use this as an excuse to clear the monarch's side, purge the courtiers around the official family one by one, and finally force the official family to concede." Now he doesn't need to concoct it, but the official family took the initiative to give him a chance. I bet that King Han will gladly accept the holy decree and move into the Yun Wang's Mansion generously. ”
It's terrible, it's terrible if this man is like this. At this time, Zheng Juzhong suddenly had a feeling of powerlessness, he really didn't know what to do, no matter what, strangulation, assassination were stupid. If you can't use a soft knife, then how can you kill it? A little unconvinced, he said: "It's a big deal to put King Han under house arrest in King Yun's mansion, and then gradually disintegrate the army under King Han, and then kill him when the time is ripe." As long as the king of Han does not want to risk the great power of the world and openly rebel, he cannot fail to obey the official decree, and there will not be much resistance to putting him under house arrest. ”
Zheng Zhongjian couldn't convince his brother, and finally he said: "The gods are fighting, why do you have to wade into troubled waters, our Zheng family is one after all, if you make up your mind to kill the King of Han, then I am willing to help the eldest brother." ”
The two brothers never dreamed that the wall had ears.
It turned out that Zheng Yunyan came to find her father, but she didn't expect to hear that the two brothers conspired to kill the King of Han, you must know that after she was rescued by Liu Zhenglong from Que Yunlou that time, she reserved a place for this man in her heart, although she couldn't confess, but the image of this man in her heart could never be destroyed.
What to do, Zheng Yunyan really didn't know what to do for a while, she left home quietly the next morning, and as soon as she went out, the eldest lady went straight to Gao's house.
Zheng Yunyan and Gao Yuan, the eldest lady of the Gao family, are the best friends, and she also knows that the Gao family supports King Han, as long as she just sends the news to Gao Yuan, then King Han will know about it.
Gao Yuan was frightened when she heard it, and she told her father Gao Chen as soon as possible. This big beauty knows that her father has promised herself to the king of Han, if the king of Han has any accidents, then she can only watch the widow, how can such an important thing not be reported?
The Holy Decree, the King of Han disdained the Holy Decree, but still accepted the Holy Decree, and he did not hesitate for long, and led a thousand elite soldiers into the city.
Low-key, low-key. The King of Han entered Beijing in a low-key manner, and the entry of a thousand guards into Beijing was magnificent, but few people knew about the King of Han himself entering Beijing, as if the King of Han had never entered Beijing. Those students waited at the gate of the Han Wang's Mansion for several days, but they did not see the Han King himself, and finally learned from the tabloids that the Han King had entered Beijing and lived in the Yunwang Mansion.
Why did King Han enter Beijing quietly? Why did the King of Han live in the palace of King Yun? What is the intention of this dove to occupy the magpie's nest? All kinds of conspiracy theories came to the face, and the whole capital was full of discussions.
The king of Han is lustful, and the news that the dove occupies the magpie's nest and occupies the princess Yun is full of headlines in major newspapers, and the impact is extremely bad, and it has become a joke for the people in the capital after tea and dinner. For a while, the whole capital was talking about this issue, but the news that the King of Han saved the Great Song Dynasty disappeared.
On the night of December 22 of the first year of Jingkang (1125 AD), that is, the tenth day after the withdrawal of the Jin army, the palace of King Yun welcomed its first guest, that is, Gao Chen, the head of the Gao family, who was deposed from the Privy Council.
Gao Chen saw Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, saluted and said: "Lord, your step is equivalent to roasting yourself on the fire, originally you were the savior of the Great Song Dynasty, and for a while, the crowd was turbulent, which is very important for you to fly for nine days." But now all the major newspapers are full of what you are lustful for, doves occupy the magpie's nest, and occupy Princess Yun, and the civil officials in the entire capital are calling on the officials to severely punish your trespassing. ”
"Uncle Gao, do you think that if I don't live in the Yun Palace, the official family will be at ease? Princess Yun, hehe, there are thousands of beauties in the world, this king has even been on the queen's bed, how can he occupy Princess Yun. Although Liu Zhenglong smiled when he spoke, but the domineering spirit in his eyes was still like a tiger, and he said coldly: "Zhao Huan Xiaoer thinks that this can defeat this king, it is simply a joke, this era is a world of great changes, and force is respected, whether his throne can sit firmly depends on the mood of the lonely king." ”
Domineering, what impressed Gao Chen the most was Liu Zhenglong's domineering, he saw that King Han did not sink because of Princess Yun's charm, and his heart was much more comfortable. After Gao Chen took a sip of tea, he unhurriedly told Zheng Juzhong and the conspiracy of the two brothers in Zheng Zhongzhong, and finally he said: "The Zheng family must have made careful arrangements in the Yun Wang's Mansion, wanting to poison the lord and then die slowly, you have to guard against it." ”
"What can be the effect of carving insect skills? Poisoning, the old thing in Zheng Juzhong can think of it, if poisoning can solve the problem, then the lonely king would have poisoned Zhao Huan's idiot a long time ago. ”
Liu Zhenglong originally planned to act after May next year, but now that the official family has made a killing move, how can he sit still and wait for death, he said with a smile: "The disease of the widow, there is no need to hide anything." Tomorrow the order will go down, and the newspapers will begin to publish it, and the birds will be gone, and the good bows will be hidden, and the cunning rabbits will go, and the hounds will cook. The Jin army retreated for ten days, and the savior of the Great Song Dynasty was released from house arrest by the official family. ”
"Won't this drive the officials crazy?" Gao Chen didn't expect King Han's counterattack to be so sharp, he knew that this would be tantamount to tearing his face, and if he did so, would it make the contradiction plan out of control.
The king of Han was disheartened and took the initiative to hand over his military power, and did not hesitate to defile himself in order to protect himself. Let's ask, why can't the Great Song Dynasty tolerate the heroes who fought for the country, the god of war Di Qing died depressed, and the tragedy is not going to be repeated. ”
Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, wanted the common people to join the debate, and finally he said: "Emphasize that the king of Han has scattered all his wealth and spent 15 million yuan to resist the Jin army, and even the 5 million paid by the court to the Jin country was paid by the king of Han." Now the king of Han only wants to ask for peace for a lifetime, and ask whether the official family wants to follow the example of Taizu to release the military power and give the king of Han I glory and wealth, or force the king of Han to die of depression, or imprison the king of Han until he dies of old age alone. ”
Punish the heart, play the theory of the heart, Liu Zhenglong is much smarter than the official family, no matter what, the king of Han is lustful, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest, that is just the talk of the common people after dinner, and it will not take long to become boring. The shadow of the Jin army going south is always a sword suspended above the heads of the people, compared with loyalty and patriotism, the people are more concerned about the problem of survival, as for who is the emperor, it is not the same as paying taxes, living and working in peace and contentment is the biggest demand.
Gao Chen hesitated a little, and he asked a little puzzled: "If the official family takes the opportunity to remove your military power and really put you under house arrest in the Yunwang Mansion, will the gains outweigh the losses, will there be turmoil in the army, and will the army get out of control?" ”
Liu Zhenglong shook his head, he was very firm: "The loyalty of the Han army to the king of Han has been deeply rooted in the marrow of every soldier, and it will not change because of the wind and grass outside." Of course, there may be people with bad intentions, and it is just in time to complete the purge of the army. As for house arrest, isn't it the house arrest in the Yunwang Mansion now? You don't have to worry about this, the lonely king can stay overnight in the dragon bed at any time. ”
Maybe he was about to marry Gao Yuan, the daughter of the Gao family, so Liu Zhenglong didn't want to hide too much, he said: "Only when the king is under house arrest, the Jin army dares to invade the Song Dynasty for the second time, and at that time, the Han king who has no military power can not reverse the situation, the Great Song Dynasty fell, the official family became a prisoner, the dynasty was changed, and the Han king ascended the throne." Look, after seven or eight months, the Jin army will go south again, and when the time comes, the crowd will be turbulent, and the call for this king to rule the world will be high, and the yellow robe will come naturally. During this period, it is necessary to continue to use public opinion to gradually make the people of the world lose confidence in the Zhao family. During this period, the more the official family suppressed the lonely king, the higher the prestige of the lonely king in the hearts of the common people. The more uneasy the emperor will be, the more the father-son rivalry will kick off, and the emperor will desperately win over the lonely king, and the official family will really become a lonely family. ”
"Minister, understood."
Gao Chen knelt on the ground and bowed three times and nine times, at this moment, he firmly believed that the change of ownership was unstoppable, and it was only a matter of time before the king of Han came to the world.
After Gao Chen left, Sun Sheng, the Duke of Zhuyun Dragon, came in, and after he knelt on the ground and saluted, he said, "Lord, everything is arranged, is it time to act?" ”
"Don't worry, you want to find a way to open up the tunnels between King Yun's Mansion and the palace, and the Lone King wants to stay overnight in the dragon bed." Liu Zhenglong showed a strange smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "The Lone King can come and go freely in and out of the palace, and he can take off Zhao Huan's head at any time, and he can take away the jade seal at any time. He, the emperor, is just an ornament. ”
After Gongsun Sheng left, Liu Zhenglong stretched his waist, he was going to Zheng Juzhong's house, and he would meet this old fox for a while. Liu Zhenglong knows that people like Zheng Juzhong will never be loyal to the official family, for this old fox, survival is the most important thing, as for being the ruler of the country, being the ruler of that family is different, and the headquarters will die because of this.
Zheng Juzhong has been nervous these days, and always feels that something is wrong, the moment the old fox entered the study, he was almost scared to pee his pants. He never dreamed that King Han would be in his study, and the old fox who was so frightened that he lost his three souls and seven spirits fell to the ground with weak legs, and said tremblingly: "King Han Chitose, why did you come to Xiaguan's humble house?" ”
"If the Lone King doesn't come here, how can he give you a chance to assassinate?" Liu Zhenglong's face became gloomy, and he said coldly: "If you poison it, it won't go into the stream, if poisoning can kill people, whether it is Western Xia, or Liao, or Jin, you would have sent someone to poison this king a long time ago, but is this king still safe and sound." If you kill the Lone King, it can be said that you rack your brains, but if the Lone King wants to kill you, it will definitely be effortless. I just don't know if your old man wants to be rich and prosperous, or do you want to live a long life? ”
At this time, Zheng Juzhong calmed down, he knew that if King Han wanted to kill him, it would definitely be easy, but the old fox also knew that Liu Zhenglong didn't want to kill himself at all, he just wanted to negotiate terms with himself. Zheng Juzhong sat down and poured tea for Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, and said: "Of course, Weichen wants to die, but time is not waiting, and I can't wait for how long he can survive in the end." ”
