Chapter 273: Doing the opposite

The evening of the 10th day of October was a sleepless night for many high-ranking officials in the Central Metropolitan (the latest chapter of the future small farmers). Yan Zhanwang's sudden self-hanging made these people seem to realize something. Especially those officials who received the "secret letter", because the handle fell into the hands of the "blood wolf", these sanctimonious guys couldn't sleep at night. A few with particularly flexible minds have already gone to Wan Yan Yudu to express their determination, and the rest are waiting and watching in torment (the latest chapter of the Lori Project).

Anyway, there is a popular saying in the top echelons of Dajin, that is: Yan Zhanwang was forced to death by Wan Yan Yu. These guys never reflect on their greed as a mistake, but think that Wan Yanyu is too violent and leaves no room for people. It's just that few people can have the courage to hang themselves on the beams of the house like Yan Wanwang.

After Yan Yusheng came to Zuo Xiang's Mansion, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He had a feeling in his heart that the old emperor now knew almost all his words and deeds, whether it was in Licheng or Zhongdu, or even in Xiongzhou. And those who can provide this kind of news to the old emperor, except for Song Zheng and other people from the Imperial City Division, are only Zuo Xiangwan Yan Zhangshou or Zhang Zong. And the people of the Great Qi Imperial City Division are all here to help themselves, and they will not have anything to do with the emperor of Dajin.

Wanyan Yusheng really didn't want to have any conjectures about Wanyan Zhangshou and Zhangzong brothers, they were too close to him. But Wan Yan Yusheng always felt that there was a shadow in his heart, and this shadow seemed to be able to swallow him up at any time.

If neither Zhang Shou nor Zhang Zong is worthy of his trust, then who else can believe it? Maybe only Song Xiaolang, only this friend who is commensurate with a brother and has saved his life several times is trustworthy.

The only thing that made Wan Yan Yusheng feel fortunate was that the old emperor said, "Everything is for you, you don't have to think about it", if you want to succeed in ascending the throne, you must rely on Zhang Shou and Zhang Zong, who have always worked hard to ascend the throne by themselves.

Wan Yan Yusheng shook his head, trying to drive suspicion out of his head.

The subordinates of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion took Wan Yan Yusheng in, and Wan Yan Yusheng instructed Lu Yuan to send the Praetorian Guards to rest in the Prime Minister's Mansion, leaving only Lu Yuan alone.

After a while, Zhang Zong came out. Because they have been in Xiongzhou for many days together, Zhang Zong and Lu Yuan are also familiar with each other. After greeting each other, Zhang Zong asked Lu Yuan to arrange an upper room, then took a lantern, led Yan Yusheng, and walked to the hidden room at the back of the Zuo Xiangfu.

There was no one before and after, and Wan Yan Yusheng asked in a low voice, "How is Dong'an Town over there?" ”

"It's not too good (Daowu Ji)!" Zhang Zongdao, "I don't dare to see Xiaolang." Oh, Xiao Lang has already arrived in the secret room. is waiting for us. ”

Wan Yan Yusheng's face changed, "The people of the Imperial City Division are dead?" ”

Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, "Two died, and the rest were injured. ”

"How so?"

Wanyan Shahu personally rushed to the East Gate Wuwei Army and reported the news to His Royal Highness. Wanyan Shahu, you know, is a staunch main battle faction, and has repeatedly asked to lead troops to invade Daqi in the south. After His Royal Highness delivered the news to him, he immediately couldn't sit still, and with two hundred armed guards, he personally rushed to Dong'an Town to arrest people. ”

"Dong'an Town is the territory of the fourth brother, how could he allow Wanyan Shahu to come?" Wan Yan Yusheng asked with a frown.

"Thanks also to His Royal Highness. This morning, as soon as Wanyan Shahu entered Dong'an Town, he was discovered by the Dongmen Armed Guards. However, the sergeant on patrol duty did not dare to stop Yan Shahu, so he could only quickly report to His Royal Highness the Fourth. His Royal Highness didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to that courtyard. By the time they got there, there was already a fight. Wanyan Shahu people are overwhelming, so two of the people of the Imperial City Division died, and the commander of Xiao Zhen was also slightly injured. The Fourth Highness separated them and argued with Wanyan Shahu. After Yan Shahu swore an oath, His Royal Highness did not dare to be too tough, and only left the people of the Imperial City Division on the grounds that Dong'an Town was the defense area of the East Gate Armed Guards. ”

"How are they now?"

"I went to the camp of the Four Highnesses, and the Four Highnesses were not bad, and the injured ones were taken care of. I also met with Commander Xiao, and when he understood why, he didn't blame anything. ”

Wan Yan Yuchang sighed, "In the small courtyard of Tieniufang, the Xiao brothers took care of me a lot, if he hurt his life because of this, it would really be impossible to say." In this way, when I met Xiaolang for a while, I explained it to him. I want to come to Xiaolang to take care of the overall situation, so as not to have a quarrel with us. ”

Tart Li nodded helplessly (copy expert Escape City).

Song Zheng was in the secret room of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, pacing back and forth. There were sweat stains on his forehead, left by the people who had gotten rid of the blood wolves. After noon, after Song Zheng ran to the south of the Zhongdu City to see Zhang Zong, he went around to the east gate of the Zhongdu non-stop, wanting to sneak into the city from there. However, the dangerous aura at the city gate made Song Zheng dare not enter easily. Due to the actions of the Wuwei Army in Dong'an Town, whether it was the Wuwei Army on duty or the blood wolf's people, they paid special attention to the East City Gate. There was no way, Song Zheng went around to the north gate again and entered the city.

Even so, Song Zheng was still a little frightened. Under the deliberate publicity of Wanyan Yudu, the news of Daqi's meticulous work in Zhongdu has spread. The guards were extremely closely checked. Song Zheng was successfully put into the city because he was still young and dressed as a scholar. On the way, he even heard two people who looked like wealthy businessmen talking about it secretly. Since it can reach the ears of ordinary businessmen, hasn't it spread all over the officialdom level?

Song Zheng walked through the streets and alleys, and did not go back to the Yuan Hao to ask the small courtyard, but went directly to the Zuo Xiang's mansion and waited for news from Yan Yusheng and Zhang Zong. While waiting, I thought about it, I suffered a loss this time, and the conspiracy in it felt a little familiar. He couldn't help but think of when he was in Licheng, Huang Song spread rumors in an attempt to use the Daqi border army to block Yan Yusheng's return to Jin.

Could it be that this time it was Huang Song's idea again? Song Zheng's appearance appeared in front of his eyes again, with a graceful demeanor, but there was a trace of femininity in his eyes.

While pondering, Song Zheng heard footsteps, and soon, Wanyan Yusheng and Zhang Zong pushed the door in.

Song Zheng hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, Brother Yan, how is Dong'an Town doing?" ”

Zhang Zong glanced at Yan Yusheng, and Yan Yusheng hurriedly explained the matter. Song Zheng's eyes became cold, "What is the extent of Brother Xiao's injury?" ”

Zhang Zong hurriedly said, "It's just a scratch on the back, and the skin is traumatized, which doesn't affect the action." The Fourth Highness has already made people apply the best golden medicine. Commander Xiao also asked me to send a message to Commander Ying and Xiaolang, he is fine, don't worry about him. ”

Wan Yan Yusheng also explained, "It is inconvenient for the fourth brother to release the brothers of the Imperial City Division immediately, and I also ask Xiaolang to forgive me (read the full text of the Crossfire with the Otherworld)." Xiao Lang, the brother of the Imperial City Division was killed and wounded in the hands of the Wu Wei Army, which is really not my wish. I didn't expect Wan Yan Yudu to be so cunning, and he actually knew how to use Wan Yan Shahu's fool to deal with his brothers. ”

"It has nothing to do with Brother Yan, the person who finished Yan Shahu, I have seen it in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is a man. I don't blame him for being used, I will settle the account on Yan Yudu and Huang Song! Song Zheng clenched his fists tightly and slowly released them after a long time.

Wanyan Yusheng and Zhang Zong heard Huang Song's name, thought about it for a while, and understood what was going on, so they could only sigh.

Song Zheng calmed down for a while and asked, "Brother Yan, what's the situation on your side?" ”

After Yan Yusheng saw that Xiaolang had regained his composure, he told him about meeting the old emperor and Chongxiao Temple. Of course, some inconvenient things to say, such as how the old emperor asked Wan Yan Yusheng to deal with Song Zheng, will not be said.

After Song Zheng heard these news, he didn't feel any shock. He had long guessed that the old emperor was not simple, and his mind was very hidden, and now he saw that it was really the case.

The blood wolf is nominally Wanyan Yudu and Tart Li, but in fact, the old emperor is the real boss behind the scenes. He controlled the blood wolf through the right capital, so as to grasp the movements of officials in the past two years. The most brilliant thing is that the old emperor did not deal with these officials, but wanted to hand them over to his successor, Wan Yan Yusheng, so that he could boldly use this information to reshuffle the cards after he ascended the throne.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Wanyan Yusheng has these evidences, which can not only attack dissidents, but also win them over for his own use. Speaking of which, as long as it is an official, there is no one who is not greedy, and the real clean officials cannot be said to have absolutely none, but there are very few. Wanyan Yusheng has these hole cards in hand, and he can arrange personnel according to his own wishes, and he will soon be able to straighten out the court.

Song Zheng couldn't help but guess that the old emperor still didn't deal with it after learning the details, which had two meanings. First, he was extremely favored by the old emperor, and when the old emperor dealt with him, he was self-denying and couldn't pull him down. The second is to give this task to the successor, which is equivalent to giving the successor a target to make adjustments in religious policy (the latest chapter of the Piston dynasty).

In a word, the old emperor's idea can be regarded as far-sighted, but there is just a little mistake, which allows Ran to grasp some things, resulting in a not so good situation now.

After hearing Yan Yusheng's narration, Zhang Zong frowned and said, "The current situation is that Ran has already sent out the 'secret letter', and many high-ranking officials are afraid that they will be investigated and punished, so they have fallen to His Second Highness, and even went to his mansion to show their loyalty. Even if we had the same strategy and let them know that we had these things in our hands, they wouldn't have bought it. In the case of being threatened by the Second Highness and the Sixth Highness at the same time, they can only make a choice according to their own wishes, the main battle is still the main battle, the main peace is still the main peace, and the neutral is still neutral. If this is the case, the Sixth Highness does not have an advantage in the court. ”

Wan Yan Yusheng was also worried about this matter. Although he got two identical pieces of information from the old emperor and Zhiran, he found that he could hardly use it, what could be more frustrating than this?

"This old bald donkey is so hateful, I can't wait to chop him up now!" Wan Yan Yusheng said hatefully.

Song Zheng pondered for a while and said, "If we have two such pieces of information in our hands, we will have room for maneuver!" ”

Zhang Zong and Wanyan Yusheng's eyes lit up, and they looked at Song Zheng with anticipation, "Xiaolang, will the plan be released?" ”

"Can I see the original copy of this information?"

Wan Yan Yusheng hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms, "This is the one I got from Ran Ran, and I asked General Lu Yuanlu to keep the other ones." ”

"Lu Yuan?" Song Zheng's heart shook slightly. He quietly took it and looked at it, on it was the official's greedy message, and at the bottom of his left foot, a strange pattern was outlined with a cinnabar pen, vaguely like a wolf.

Song Zheng nodded, the corners of his mouth curled, "If we distribute these things to them and let them burn them on the spot, what do you say?" ”
