After Xu Huizu left, Qi Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Wei Guogong's plan is really to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and it is very ruthless. As long as the princes of King Yan are confined to a square inch of land, cut off from inside and outside, even if they try their best, they will have nothing to do, and it will be difficult to fly!

In this way, the Holy One will have the first opportunity, and everything will be in the palm of his hand.

In the past, because there was no explanation, the prince could not be easily imprisoned. Now the king of Gaoyang County has committed his life first, and his crime can be great, on this ground, it is really a matter of course, and he wants to sleep and send a pillow. ”

Qi Tai said, took another breath, and looked a little puzzled, "However, Wei Guogong and King Yan are in-laws, but they made such a ruthless move, which surprised the ministers." ”

At this moment, Huang Zicheng said quietly: "The bitter trick of the Wei State Guild will not be used to test it?" ”

Qi Tai looked at him suspiciously: "How do you say this?" ”

Huang Zicheng said eloquently: "In today's situation, King Yan must have some suspicions, but he can't be sure. At this time, if according to the policy of Wei Guogong, the prince of Yan was moved, wouldn't it be a surprise to the snake and confirm the intention of the imperial court to deal with the king of Yan? The sister of Wei Guogong is the wife of King Yan......"

When Emperor Zhu Yunwen heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "There is some truth, you must not ignore it." ”

Qi Tai immediately said: "The minister has objections. The Duke of Wei is the son of the Xu family, and he attacked the glorious lintel, all thanks to the grace of the saint. At this time, if he disregarded the prosperity of his family and went against the imperial court, why bother? ”

Zhu Yunwen, who was in the upper position, groaned when he heard it.

Qi Tai immediately saw some signs. He said in his heart, the saint is like a stream, and he is very able to listen to the advice of others; He and Huang Zicheng are both ministers who advocate the reduction of the domain, although their words are effective, but Huang Zicheng is more trusted in comparison.

At the beginning, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng both advocated cutting the domain, and in terms of specific strategies, Qi Tai advocated capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and suddenly took the most powerful Yan Wang to open the knife; Huang Zicheng advocated cutting his wings first and striving for public opinion, starting with the kings of Zhou, Qi, Xiang, and Dai, who had little merit in strength. In the end, the saint still adopted Huang Zicheng's proposition.

And Qi Tai's opinion of Huang Zicheng is that this person is a little more selfish, good at power, and attaches importance to party members.

After thinking about it, Qi Tai changed his tone and said: "The Holy Golden Mouth and Jade Words, the decree is to arrest Du and Wang, and it cannot be changed lightly. The minister said that he would again accuse the king of Gaoyang County of breaking the law, make him grounded, and think about it behind closed doors. ”

Huang Zicheng immediately said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I will wait for you." ”

…… At dusk that day, the prince's mansion suddenly became noisy, mixed with the footsteps of the armored soldiers, and the neat and rhythmic sound made the atmosphere even more tense.

Zhu Gaoxu and Gao Sui helped Shizi, who was walking unsteadily, to the gate of the courtyard, and saw many soldiers blocking the door and being in chaos. The prince shouted, "What are you doing? ”

A brocade-clothed military general dressed in a gorgeous costume came over, bowed, and said with his fists folded: "The king of Gaoyang County will kill the court officials in the street, and the people who impeach the court in the middle of the court." The Holy Decree that from today onwards, the King of Gaoyang County and others will think about it behind closed doors, and they will not leave the mansion or associate with outsiders without authorization. ”

Gao Sui shouted angrily: "We are the clan, not prisoners!" ”

The Jinyi Wei military general said: "Don't blame the prince, the last general is just acting on orders." If you have something to say, it is okay to write a book, and the last general will send it to the palace. ”

"Humph!" Shizi made an accented sound from his nose to show his dissatisfaction, and turned around to leave.

Zhu Gaoxu's chest was tight, but he didn't say anything...... Now in this situation, the holy order of the Jinyi Guard, no one will pay attention to you if you shout and cut your throat!

The three of them returned to the inner house sullenly, and the prince glanced at Zhu Gaoxu: "It's okay now!" ”

Gao Sui hurriedly asked: "The second brother was still in the chest yesterday, has he already thought of a way?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said helplessly: "The Jinyi guards, officers and soldiers are holding the holy decree, and they are surrounded by water, let's squat in this projectile land, what can we do now?" ”

"This ......" Gao Sui's face was very ugly and full of complaints.

Shizi raised his arm at this time and said: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, our brothers can't fight each other, but should work together to tide over the difficulties together." If the saint wants to imprison us, he can always find a reason, and he can't complain too much about the second brother. ”

"There's got to be a trick." Gao Sui looked anxious.

Shizi said: "Don't be impatient, many things are like this, who is smarter than whom, and who can do everything?" The world is unpredictable, don't people often take one step at a time? ”

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "What the second brother said yesterday still has some truth. If it weren't for someone in the court who wanted to take our brother as a hostage and blackmail my father, how could two holy decrees come in half a day?

Can we figure out these things, but can people outside understand them? Don't worry, you two, wait and see. ”

Waiting is the most painful. The bitter days have arrived, and the wait is more than half a month, and there is still no end in sight. The Shizi Mansion is simply airtight, and everyone is isolated from the world.

……

One night, Huang Zicheng returned home from duty. The lady came into the house, waited for him to change out of his official uniform and hat, and mentioned in a casual tone: "Have you caught the two Qin criminals?" ”

Huang Zicheng was suddenly a little displeased.

Mrs. hurriedly said: "When people from my hometown came to ask, I had to bother to ask my husband." ”

Huang Zicheng said earnestly: "In the woman's opinion, she only thinks that someone will resist her life, and the person who does it is not them!" ”

Madame said carefully: "The king of Gaoyang County is a clan, isn't this impossible for him to resist?" ”

Huang Zicheng said: "Zhu Gaoxu is losing a lot now, which is much worse than killing two pawns!" The people of the Xu family don't have to hold on to it anymore, one life, until the sons of King Yan are imprisoned, what else will happen? ”

Madame had to nod her head in agreement, not daring to contradict it.

Huang Zicheng kicked off the boots on his feet, thinking about it, he showed a slightly smug look, "Not long ago, King Yan pretended to be sick in the mansion in order to save his three sons from going back. However, we also have a detailed work in Beiping, and secretly played the matter of King Yan pretending to be sick back to Beijing, and finally let the saint see through King Yan's tricks. ”

Madame hurriedly said: "Fortunately, I saw through it, otherwise it would be really difficult for the saint to refuse." The father is sick and the son is filial, and there is nothing wrong with asking the son to be filial at the bedside. ”

"Of course." Huang Zicheng said with a smile, "That day, Yan sent Deng Yong to the court, probably saying the same thing." But it's useless, the king of Gaoyang County and others are still locked up in the Shizi Mansion, and a large number of people are watching, which is called a winged and difficult to fly! ”

Huang Zicheng was in a good mood tonight, and he talked a little more, "These feudal royal clans are usually reckless in breaking the law and doing evil. People like the king of Gaoyang County, how much better are they compared to the kings of Zhou, Qi, Xiang, and Dai who were abolished as commoners? The old man waited and saw what else he could do! ”
