Chapter 331: Another Possibility
"Your Majesty's meaning is that the lower officials don't dare to speculate, this is just some speculation by the lower officials themselves, originally I didn't want to say it, after all, this is a big disrespectful crime, it's just that Wang Zongshi's matter Ma Siqing raised his noble hand, and the lower officials are really grateful, so he dared to guess a few points, and I hope that Ma Siqing will think carefully, don't take it seriously!"
Speaking of this, Li Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "Ma Siqing is a smart person, since it is the guess of the lower officials, then there are some things that the lower officials dare not guess too deeply, and they dare not speak too thoroughly, and I hope that Ma Siqing will forgive me!" ”
Ma Zhi's expression was a little wooden at this time, he just nodded mechanically, and then fell into a deep silence.
Li Zhen looked at Ma Zhi, his face was a little solemn, but his heart was full of spring breeze.
Li Zhen is good at calculation, but he is more accustomed to planning and dismantling, because even the most meticulous calculation cannot be foolproof, and there will be many omissions that cannot be considered, and even often because of a hundred secrets and negligence, the whole plate will be defeated.
It is different because it starts from a random event, there is no law to follow, and there is no conspiracy, everything happens naturally, and it is not easy to make people suspicious.
Just like now, Yan Heng's random self-assertive action, Ma Yu's random Lantian borrowing troops, and Lantian General's random order made Yan Heng naturally seriously injured, and at the same time, Yan Heng's identity made Ma Zhi's situation chaotic today.
Everything is random, and it is precisely because of this that Ma Zhi's vigilance gradually disappears, and he falls into the trap laid by Li Zhen step by step.
Not only that, while Li Zhen was laying out, he was also very keenly aware of some loopholes, and Li Zhen has always been handy at checking and filling in the gaps, until he made this game seem seamless.
The expression on Ma Zhi's face looked a little complicated, so complicated that even Li Zhen didn't know what he was thinking at this time, only one thing Li Zhen could confirm.
That is Ma Zhi's heart has begun to waver, because he is not without a way to go at this time, not only that, but there are still many roads in front of him, so he has no need to choose the most decisive path to go.
There is no need to accompany some people to go against the most powerful people in the world.
But Li Zhen knows that if this alone can make Ma Zhi make up his mind, it is still a little too optimistic, some things need to be thought about to make people wake up, and some people also need to see to see clearly.
So Li Zhen is not in a hurry, because Ma Zhi is more anxious than himself.
This is a game of chess, since Li Zhen has won the first move, there is no need to rush for a while, the contest between offense and defense is strategy, and the confrontation is about patience.
Those who move first may not be the first, and those who are late may not be behind.
"Ma Siqing ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Ma Zhi stretch out his hand and said, "Zeyuan doesn't need to say more, if this matter is really what His Majesty meant, Ma Zhi is willing to accept the guilt!" ”
"Ma Siqing's words are serious, the official has already made it clear, all these are just some speculations by the lower officials themselves, maybe this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty at all, as for Yan Changzhi, if I see him, I will definitely persuade him to make a big deal small, after all, nothing is complete, no one can say whether there will be a place that needs Ma Siqing's help in the future, and it is better to be friends than enemies in the officialdom, he will understand!"
People are like this, the more Li Zhen tries his best to deny what he said, the more Ma Zhi is sure of the truth of the above words, so that he falls deeper and deeper and cannot extricate himself.
After hearing this, Ma Zhichong Li Zhen bowed his hand slightly, and said: "What Zeyuan said today, thank you, old man, rest early!" ”
After speaking, Ma Zhi turned around and walked out, Li Zhen was just about to catch up, but he saw Ma Zhi turn around and say: "Stay and stay, what you said today, don't mention it to others, and only think that the old man has never come!" ”
Li Zhen bowed down and said with a smile: "Ma Siqing, don't worry, Zhen has been sleeping tonight, and he has slept well!" ”
Ma Zhi nodded, and then walked away.
After Ma Zhi left, Wang Shaoyi walked in.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Li Zhen said in surprise.
"When I saw someone coming, I thought it was Yan Heng, so I came over to take a look, who knew it was Ma Cunzhi!" Wang Shaoyi said with a disappointed face.
"It's not good to snoop on other people's privacy!" Li Zhen glanced at Wang Shaoyi and said.
"Do you dare to say that you won't let people hear it? Besides, I didn't mean to! ”
Wang Shaoyi said, changed his words, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Ma Zhi will tell Ma Yuanzhen?" ”
"I didn't say anything, so why tell me!?"
Wang Shaoyi thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, from beginning to end, Li Zhen was just knocking on the side and hitting the place until the end, everything was what Ma Zhi himself realized, and then nodded and smiled: "Brother is really treacherous!" ”
Li Zhen looked at Wang Shaoyi, then patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "A child like you usually doesn't live more than three pages in a book!" ”
After speaking, Li Zhen rubbed his chin lightly and said, "But I bet that Ma Zhi will definitely not reveal half a word tonight to Ma Yuanzhen, or even anyone!" ”
"Oh? Why? Wang Shaoyi asked very cooperatively.
"First of all, although Ma Zhi vaguely guessed something, he is not sure, if he rashly tells Ma Yuanzhen about this, with Ma Yuanzhen's ability and means, he will not sit still like this, and it will be good if it is done, if the matter is revealed, Ma Zhi will be the same as Ma Yuanzhen is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and he can't afford this consequence!"
Wang Shaoyi immediately said: "Since he is not sure, then he will definitely try his best to verify and determine, so what?" ”
"Hahaha! It would be better if he was sure, who do you guess he would choose between His Majesty and Ma Yuanzhen? ”
"I don't know!" Wang Shaoyi shook his head and said.
Li Zhen smiled: "There is half a possibility, then it depends on who can get the first opportunity, but I believe that if he is smart enough, he will definitely choose Your Majesty!" ”
"Why? Ma Yuanzhen has tens of thousands of forbidden troops in his hands! Wang Shaoyi wondered.
"Your Majesty is not Emperor Wenzong, Ma Zhi should understand one thing, Your Majesty has endured for eleven years in order to ascend the throne, which can be described as accumulation, since Your Majesty dares to make a move on Ma Yuanzhen, it means that he has already had a perfect plan, and wants to make another change of nectar? Hehe, how could Ma Yuanzhen succeed so easily? ”
Speaking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through Li Zhen's heart, which made his originally calm heart suddenly ripple, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"What's wrong with Brother?" Wang Shaoyi obviously noticed Li Zhen's abnormality.
Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time, and only then shook his head after leaning less, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to himself: "No, this possibility is very small, it shouldn't happen!" There must be no such possibility! ”
