Chapter 134: A Game Within a Game (Part I)
"Wu Yi!"
Wu Yi was about to go shopping for vegetables with a large vegetable basket, when he heard the scream, he was knocked unconscious and put into a sack when he turned around.
—
"The fifth prince is not suspicious?"
"He's busy handing over now, and he said that in case you don't know about our relationship, he'll give me full authority to handle matters with you."
Zhang Hai smiled playfully and took two steps around Zhang Ling, "Miss Zhang is so important to the five princes, won't there be any ...... Well? “
Zhang Ling's eyes widened angrily, "I advise you to keep your mouth clean!" ”
"Hahaha, Miss Zhang, don't be angry. I'm just curious, I really want to see the defeated face of the fifth prince earlier, especially ......" Zhang Hai stared at Zhang Ling with cold eyes, "When he knows that it was you Zhang Ling who betrayed him, how will he feel?!" ”
"So, just do it cleanly, knock him to the ground, and never get up again!"
Zhang Hai shook his head with a smile and said, "Miss Zhang is really a heroine among women, ruthless enough." ”
Zhang Ling threw down the embroidery handkerchief and turned to leave.
Zhang Hai laughed and said, "Don't worry, in front of the third prince, I will definitely give you a few good words." Maybe you can still be the crown princess. ”
——
"Zhang Hai is not suspicious?"
"I'm still dreaming of getting rich."
Li Bo said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the tricks I have done with you before have not gone well, and I have fallen out of favor in front of the three princes, right?" Now that he has fallen in love with Zhang Ling, he wants to get back some ground? ”
Zhang Ling nodded and said, "It should be." ”
Li Bo said: "My lord, I think this Zhang Hai is indeed a straw bale. ”
Zhou Qi smiled reluctantly, and although he was talking to Li Bo, he looked at Zhang Ling, "Since the third brother sent Zhang Hai here, he must not be a fool." ”
Zhang Ling's eyelashes flickered twice unconsciously, his heart beat violently, Zhang Ling pretended to be calm, and said: "Zhang Hai is definitely not stupid, but he is not as wise as an adult." ”
"Really? But I have known a truth since I was a child, to look down on the enemy is to look down on yourself, to look down on yourself, to look down on yourself, but death is not far away. ”
"As the adults said, Zhang Ling, I have been taught."
Li Bo felt that the atmosphere was strange, "My lord? ”
"But since Miss Zhang thinks that Zhang Hai is not suspicious, let's act according to the plan."
Zhang Ling gave a blessing, "Yes." I will tell Zhang Hai tomorrow that there is a problem with the funds, and I hope he can come up with the silver two for emergency. With the amount of money I've been able to find out about him, he certainly doesn't. At that time, I pushed the boat and asked him to ask someone to vouch for it.
To guarantee such a large amount of goods, it is impossible for dignitaries and dignitaries, even if it is some real estate, as long as you follow the map, you will definitely be able to know the owners of those properties, as long as it is related to the three princes, or even Li Tianshi, the head of the household, even if it is ironclad evidence. ”
Zhang Ling glanced at Zhou Qi quickly, and Zhou Qi continued, "The emperor's holy candle shines, but it has been half a hundred years old. My eldest brother and second brother have long since died, and the third brother is the eldest son, and I am the son-in-law.
Since ancient times, there has been controversy. In the history books, the dispute between the elders is bloodstained.
The emperor in the Sudoku history book naturally understands that the third brother and I are incompatible sooner or later, and he doesn't want to see this situation the most.
If I come up with evidence to prove that the third brother colluded with Hui merchants with the intention of seeking the position of the crown prince, he will be the target of public criticism, and it is difficult to defend himself. ”
Li Bo analyzed with confidence: "Even if the three princes are not expelled by the emperor, they contact the courtiers privately and collude with businessmen, it will be a suspicious cloud in the emperor's heart, and it will be difficult to disperse." ”
Zhou Qi nodded and said to Zhang Ling: "So this time, there can't be any accidents." ”
"If it is..."
Before Zhang Ling could ask a question, Zhou Qi had already replied: "If I fail, the situation will be reversed." I will be the one who frames the emperor's eldest son, an ambitious prince.
Miss Zhang, I... Although I am the only prince of the Great Zhou and have a noble status, I am also the most dilemma person in the Great Zhou.
My grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty and has authority, and my mother is the queen of the dynasty and has a noble status. My sister will soon become a meritorious minister of the Great Zhou, and I will marry a princess from Hui. Miss Zhang, do you think I am in the middle of the court, as the sun is shining? ”
Zhang Ling nodded, and listened to Zhou Qi continue: "But there is only one sun in the sky, and there can only be one sun.
The higher I ascended, the closer I was to the sun. And too close to the sun, only the body is broken bones, and the body dies and melts.
So, this time, I can't lose because I'm not qualified to lose. ”
Zhang Ling kept his head down, and nodded again, "Yes, you can't lose." ”
"Miss Zhang." Zhou Qi put his hands on Zhang Ling's shoulders, "Do you remember what you told me before?" You said you'd help me, do you remember? ”
Zhang Ling's face flushed, "Of course I will help you, I am really willing to give everything, as long as you can ascend to that supreme position." ”
Zhou Qi smiled, "That's good." Zhou Qi looked into the distance, "I hope we can ascend to the supreme position together, and I hope that there will be you by my side." ”
Zhang Ling was in a surging mood, "Hmm." ”
—
"Why did Miss Zhang come back so soon?" Zhang Ling went and returned, and Zhang Hai knew that it was not good.
"Things have changed."
"Oh?"
"Lord Zhou seems to think that you don't have the ability to ask Li Tianshi to be a guarantor. He was afraid that he would not be able to catch the handle of the third prince, and in front of the saint, something would go wrong. ”
"Don't worry, the security I gave you is naturally related to Li Tianshi."
"Oh?"
"I've got someone to do the paperwork."
"So, Master Li already knows about this?"
Zhang Ling saw that Zhang Hai's eyes flickered, so he pressed step by step, "Boss Zhang, the person behind you still doesn't know about this?"
Oh, I see. You want the five princes to go to the emperor to expose the three princes for colluding with Hui merchants, just when the three princes are anxious, you offer Li Tianshi a plan to turn the tide.
Am I right? Boss Zhang? ”
The corners of Boss Zhang's mouth rose, and he was so dirty that he concealed it, "Miss Zhang is a smart person, what does Miss Zhang think of my plan?" ”
"Why don't you just kill the five princes?"
"Kill the five princes?" Zhang Hai looked at Zhang Ling as if he was looking at a monster, "How big a crime is it to murder the prince?" I, Zhang Hai, can't afford it.
Anyway, there's no rush now, I'll say a few more words to you.
If I really come to that point, I must assassinate the five princes to save my life, Miss Zhang, you don't have to doubt, I will not hesitate, I will definitely do it, even if I die when I assassinate him, it is better to go to the prison and taste the torture instruments.
Let's talk about my success.
My successful assassination of the prince was only my first step up the ladder. How do I evade Libo? How can I escape the court's investigation?
If the third prince is happy for a while, helps me and shelters me, will he think that I am a drag after a long time, especially when there is a wind and grass? Do you think I chose the stupidest way to show my loyalty to him?
At that time, what value do I have to live?
Besides, once the East Window incident happens, he will definitely be the first to abandon me, just as they abandoned Zhang Guang without hesitation.
Therefore, I, a meritorious minister who won the title of prince of the East Palace for his three princes, his three princes and Li Tianshi, did not dare to continue!
Miss Zhang, if I murder the prince, I will be the second to die. ”
Zhang Ling was just worried that Zhang Hai would go back to the extreme and destroy what she was asking for. Now that Zhang Hai's analysis has been so clear, Zhang Ling naturally doesn't care about it anymore.
"Now do you have any questions?"
"I'd like to know, how did you find out I was going to lie to you?"
"Hmph, do you think I, Zhang Hai, have become a bare-bones commander for so many years? My men have seen you and Li Bo connect. Although at that time, he wore the clothes of a servant and pretended to check passers-by. But the energy in him, as my people said, sent one to his forehead, and I am an official. ”
Zhang Ling smiled dumbly, "It turned out to be Li Bo's bad thing." ”
"Also, how did you know that Lord Zhou is the fifth prince?"
Zhang Hai still wanted to be very satisfied, and smiled happily. "I've been waiting for your question for a long time, and I really want to tell you how I saw through the identity of the fifth prince."
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"The five princes are really calculating, that second stunned man, what a character, was so calculated by the five princes that he had no power to fight back. In the end, guess what, the man was dragged out and cut down by two guards. Even the imperial court, he did not report.
Isn't there a saying, when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed. As soon as his five princes were angry, one person, one hero, was erased by him lightly.
In the history books, their Liu family, in that rebellion, the whole family was wiped out. But in the history books, how many bones are broken and ashes are scattered, so who cares about the family of a little general? After all, that time, the eldest son of the emperor was demoted to a concubine and finally died.
Everyone's eyes have always focused on the bigger people, who cares about the joys and sorrows of the little people? ”
"Does this have anything to do with you knowing the identity of Lord Zhou?"
"On that day, I remembered the bold words of his five princes."
"What rhetoric?"
"He said that if he is not an official, his temper will be even greater. I don't think you're talking angry. ”
"You guessed that?"
"Of course not, I, Zhang Hai, am not a god, otherwise I can't lose many times in a row, and I really lost a lot."
"If Boss Zhang doesn't want to tell me, just say it, why bother going around in circles."
"Miss Zhang, don't worry, I'm going to talk about it next.
Actually, I don't have to guess at all, someone else told me. ”
"Who?"
"Zhang Guang."
Zhang Ling's eyes, which were originally full of anticipation, suddenly burned with anger, "Why do you lie to me in this matter, we are already grasshoppers tied to a body." ”
"I didn't lie to you, I don't believe you go back and ask the fifth prince, did he ask Zhang Guang to tell me that he already knew that the person behind us was the third prince, and told me not to act rashly? He also said that he would look at the letters coming and going, and as soon as I contacted the capital, he would know? ”
