Chapter 265: A flash of inspiration
In the study room of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Wan Yan Jing sat at the table, carefully looked at Wan Yan Yusheng's letter, and did not make a sound for a long time (read the full text of Wanli Yaolu).
This is the second letter I got from Zhang Shou. The first letter was actually written by Zhang Zong. Wan Yanjing still remembers the content of the letter, "Your Excellency Uncle Shi's Right Minister: I had a dream yesterday to travel to Qindi with Uncle Shi, to see the magnificent scenery of Famen Temple, to watch the majestic Taibai Mountain, and to see the ......scenery of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."
Zhang Zong took the dream as a guide, and the meaning could not be more obvious, that is, to enter Western Xia and occupy Guanzhong. Wan Yan Jing knew that this was the meaning of Wan Yan Yusheng's side. At that time, Wan Yanjing still smiled, and didn't take it to heart at all (the latest chapter of the Heavenly Sword Record). Returning the letter to Wan Yan Zhangshou also meant to mock. And now, Wan Yanjing has to pay attention to it.
The letter in front of me is relatively long, and it explains in detail Yan Yusheng's governance strategy. From streamlining the administration of the army to restricting Buddhism, from opening up sources and reducing expenditure to the direction of sending troops, although it is not very detailed, it is very feasible. Especially in the military aspect, instead of the original policy of keeping the ancestral industry and seeking peace in peace, the strategy of "whoever wants to fight the main battle, who pays more", which means that which tribes want land, they must pay more taxes to support the soldiers.
In this regard, although Wan Yanjing did not agree with it, this could undoubtedly calm the court dispute between the main battle faction and the main peace faction. In fact, in recent years, the infighting between the main war faction and the main peace faction has indeed consumed a lot of officials' energy, especially this year, the two factions have become "what you advocate, I will oppose; What you oppose, I will advocate". If it weren't for the suppression of the old emperor Wanyan Jing, the two sides would have fought even harder.
There are also a few words in the letter that mention the way of being a king, deep ambition, strategy, skill, forbearance, and determination, these five words of the key, especially a few sentences, "benevolence but not indulgence, force but not killing." "The disease of the widow does not come out of the palace, and the way of wealth is also beneficial to the people", etc., which is not only a request for himself, but also an insinuation that Yan Yu is lustful and kills indiscriminately.
All in all, although Wan Yan Yusheng's letter is a little naΓ―ve, it is undeniable that Wan Yan Yusheng's statement has strong feasibility.
Behind this letter, there must be someone who gave advice to Wan Yan Yusheng, and Wan Yan Jing never doubted this. But Wan Yan Jing is sure that most of this is Wan Yan Yusheng's own meaning. Because many of these aspects have never been seen before. Even Zhang Shou, who got along very well with Wanyan Yusheng, did not mention half a word, and other officials of the main peace faction did not express this kind of argument.
What surprised Wan Yan Jing the most was that he saw Wan Yan Yusheng's ambition from this letter! It is far from the personable young man in his impression, gentle and upright.
"Do you want me to turn against me with just one letter?" Wan Yanjing laughed. There is a bit of bitterness in the smile, a bit of self-deprecation!

At noon on the eighth day of October, more than a dozen horses came out of the Zuo Xiangfu, in front of the Wushe, behind were Yingji and Xiao Zhen and Li Hongniang, ten imperial city secretaries and masters, followed by them, all the way out of the Xuanhua Gate in the east of the central capital, and went in the direction of Dong'an Town (the Tang Shuanglong of the online game). They sneaked into Zuo Xiang's Mansion through the back door, and then came out of the front door in a big way.
In the past two days, people have been coming and going between Zuo Xiangfu and Dong'an Town. This time, Yingji, Xiao Zhen, and Li Hongniang all went out in person to act as bait. If such a blood wolf didn't find out about Yingji and the others, it would be too incompetent.
In Dong'an Town, the courtyard has been set up and a few people have been recruited. Two days ago, the Wushu asked to see Yan Yuhui for the first time, and Yan Yuhui only sent one henchman to deal with it. On the morning of the eighth day of the first month of October, Wu Room was entrusted by Song Zheng to go to the camp of the Wuwei Army at the East Gate, and Yan Yuhui finally appeared. The news that Yan Yusheng was expected to recover and return to Zhongdu on the same day came out, and Wan Yan Yuhui also made her own choice.
The vultures put the plan together, and Yan Yuhui nodded lightly and asked the vultures to go back and prepare. The vultures were overjoyed and hurriedly returned to Zhongdu to report the news. This is the scene where Yingji and others rushed to Dong'an Town.
At this time, Song Zheng was in the courtyard where Yuan Haowen was, looking at a note in his hand. The note was obtained by Erhei from Chongxiao Temple, however, it was not any news, but Huairen's six sentences, "The army is surrounded by Jingshe, and my division is in danger, but I seek a good plan to protect my teacher's life." If there is a plan, the secret will be sent. β
Knowing that Ran had a life-saving grace for Huairen, Huairen exchanged news with Song Zheng because of family feuds, and asked Song Zheng to deal with Liang Yiyue, but he never wanted to kill Ran's life.
Song Zheng frowned, knowing the details, Wan Yan Yusheng, Zhang Shou and even the old emperor already knew, although the old emperor didn't know why he didn't give the order to do it, but after Yan Yusheng ascended the throne, he would definitely break his body to pieces. It was almost impossible to save his life. Even Song Zheng himself didn't want to let it go. This old monk's IQ is too high, if he hadn't happened to win Huairen, I'm afraid everything would still be in the dark.
Now, Huairen put forward a request to save his teacher's life, and Song Zheng was stumped. The key is the last sentence, and there seems to be a huge secret on his body (the latest chapter of youth in his pocket). Since Huairen called it "Heavenly Secret", it means that this secret is very important, and it may be big enough to decide the situation of the Central Capital.
Song Zheng thought about it, and he couldn't figure out what this secret was. The only thing that is certain is that after Huai Shu died, he was trapped in the Purple Sandalwood Essence House, and he had to reuse Huai Ren to let him know the details of the Vinaya Sect thoroughly.
What to do? Song Zheng pondered hard. Simply begging Zhang Shou or Wan Yan Yusheng to let Ran go, naturally it is impossible, and they must be given a reason not to kill Ran!
At this time, Erhei came in to report that Li Yongxi sent someone to send a brocade box to the small courtyard, saying that it was handed over to Song Yu and Song Gongzi. Yuan Hao asked and accepted the brocade box. Fortunately, Yuan Hao asked Song Zheng's entrustment, and did not leak the fact that Song Zheng did not return to the "Hejian Mansion" to the visitor, otherwise, it would be a big trouble.
Song Zheng took the brocade box from Erhei's hand and opened it to see that inside was a heart-shaped jade pendant, and there was a piece of paper pressed underneath.
The black jade pendant is the size of a copper coin, as black as ink, as thin as mutton fat - it is a rare black jade! A red rope is worn between the jade, the rope is slightly dark, but with a pink fragrance, it is a thing to wear close to the body.
Song Zheng took out the jade pendant, the ink jade was warm and smooth, and it seemed to carry Li Yongxi's body temperature.
Unfold the piece of paper, there were only seven words on it, "Give Jun Yu Pendant Double Tears!" β
Song Zheng rubbed the jade pendant and was stunned for a moment. Li Yongxi's voice and smile seem to be still in front of him. From the handsome men's clothes when they first met, to the stunning when they recovered their daughter's body, to the nobility when they held up the princess's shelf, scene by scene slipped in front of you.
"Returning Jun Mingzhu's tears, I hate to meet when I am not married." Li Yongxi, who is not particularly proficient in Chinese poetry, turned the sentence into "giving the monarch a jade pendant and double tears", and his intention could not be more obvious.
It's just that the beauty is so heavy that it makes it a little difficult for Song Zheng to breathe!
Xixia, Dajin, Li Yongxi, and Ran, these words stirred in Song Zheng's head and made him dizzy (take a space with him to read the full text). It wasn't until an hour later that Song Zheng suddenly felt a glimmer of light flash in his mind.
Wan Yan Yu sat lazily on the soft chair, wearing only obscene clothes. On the low table in front of the chair, a pot of wine had already bottomed out. Although the weather was not too cold, the fire was already lit in the hall. As the second highness of Dajin, Wanyan Yu will never treat himself badly. The whole hall is richly decorated, there are no calligraphy and paintings, only a dazzling array of gold and silverware. Needless to say, the tables and chairs are made of nanmu. The small table in front of him was a real small-leaved rosewood. Golden pots, white jade cups, these utensils that are rare for rich and noble families to see, but they are the most common things here.
Tart Li sat in the hall with Huang Song and an ordinary-looking man in Tsing Yi, his face gloomy.
"Uncle, we shouldn't have come back at all. Look, what's this called? The blood wolf was taken to a stronghold, and I was fined for half a year, but that's not all, Wanyan Yusheng actually played such a hand. If he hadn't pretended to be an idiot, we wouldn't have come back so soon. β
The man in Tsing Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Second Highness, this is a dereliction of duty and failed to find out in time." β
"Commander Ye Huai, you are not responsible for this incident, even the Holy Lord and the Right Prime Minister have been deceived," Tart Li was afraid that Yan Yu would say the words of reproach, so he hurriedly said.
It turned out that the man in Tsing Yi was the eldest disciple of Zhiran, Huaizhong under the pseudonym Ye Huai. Right now, it is the time to reuse Ye Huai, and Tart Li naturally focuses on appeasement.
Wan Yan Yudu drank another cup, "Over there in Xiongzhou, has Wan Yan Yusheng been changed back?" β
"Presumably so. On the evening of the sixth day of October, two people entered the Zhizhou Mansion, and His Royal Highness the Sixth should be one of them. These two people also have ten guards, and they are good, and our people don't dare to act rashly. Those people rode out of Xiongzhou, and then went north to the main road, probably back to Zhongdu. I thought that these people were the same people as the masters who participated in the encirclement and suppression of our stronghold. The blood wolf replied respectfully.
"Do you know who they are?"
Ye Huai glanced at Huang Song and replied, "It's a person from the Great Qi Imperial City Division (the left-behind children have grown up to read the full text)." β
"Are they the people who blew up the disciples of the National Master in the Iron Bull Workshop?" Wan Yanyu gritted his teeth and asked.
"Exactly!" "That day, I had just discovered the stronghold, and the gang abandoned the courtyard. Due to the fact that our Xiantaifang stronghold close to the Iron Bull Fang was uprooted, our manpower was a little insufficient, and it was just an abandoned courtyard, so I informed the subordinates of the national teacher and wanted them to go to the water, but unexpectedly, the group of people actually buried explosives there, and the national teacher's subordinates were killed and wounded, and more than a dozen good hands were folded in. β
Tart Li suddenly said, "The law of the national teacher should have a lot of manpower. The loss of a dozen people is nothing. β
"As far as I know, the Vinaya Sect is just a Buddhist sect that preaches precepts and preaches the Vinaya, and although there are many people in the sect, there are not many monks who really practice martial arts. These dozen people, almost one-third of the national teacher's manpower. It's a pity that due to a mistake in the next order, the law was greatly damaged, and the national teacher was almost imprisoned. Ye Huai's face was full of guilt.
Tart Li waved his hand and said, "You did a good job, even if our blood wolf people go, I'm afraid we will be killed by more than a dozen people." I didn't expect these people from the Imperial City Division to be so cunning, and I was a little sorry for the national teacher. The person who is the national teacher, although his kung fu is extremely high, rarely shows people. He was only interested in Dharma preaching. He helped His Second Highness, hoping that His Second Highness would lead Dajin to dominate the world, and then the First Sect of Law would also be carried forward and become the largest sect in the world. The ambition of the Buddha family is not inferior to ours at all! β
"Ambition has a fart! The key is what to do next! Especially these bastards of the Imperial City Division, who first ruined my good deeds in Licheng, and now they actually run to Dajin! I can't wait to kill them now! Wan Yan Yu slapped the table hatefully, and the wine jug and jade cup jumped up.
"It's not impossible to deal with them, they know that they can't stay in Zhongdu, and now they have transferred their stronghold to Dong'an Town." Ye Huai said with a cold face, "It's just that Dong'an Town is close to the East Gate Martial Guards of the Fourth Highness, I'm worried that it's a trap there!" β
