Chapter 1081: Taking You as a Hostage
Miao Fu was suffocated, he really didn't dare to do anything to Xu Zizhen, Xu Zizhen's conjecture was right, he and Liu Zhengyan were also forced to force Zhao Gou to leave, in fact, it was just to return a clean and innocent Song Dynasty, and Xu Zizhen's identity was very sensitive, and he was the title of the two countries' horses, and their so-called rebels did not dare to touch him at all.
Originally, their idea was still very promising, forcing Zhao Gou away, inviting the prince to ascend the throne, and then the two of them used the status of auxiliary ministers to eliminate the traitors above the court, but what they didn't expect was that the prince was too young, and the chaos caused by them when they entered the palace scared him, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and died in a few days.
Originally, they were rebels, but now that the prince is dead, they can't tell it clearly, if they kill Xu Zizhen again on the cusp, this is forcing the two countries of Great Xia and Tibet to get angry and intervene, then there is no room for maneuver.
"Humph!" Miao Fu gritted his teeth, turned around and walked to the chair next to Liu Zhengyan and sat down, and the guards stood next to him like the ones next to Liu Zhengyan.
Xu Zizhen looked around and said, "Master Miao, I'm an old friend anyway, don't you let me sit down?" ”
Miao Fu looked at Xu Zizhen, looking at his fearless appearance, he felt that something was wrong, frowned and shouted: "Come on, give me a closer look, especially the roof, every corner must not be missed!" ”
For the capital in Xu Zizhen's hands, others don't know, he can't not know, not only the Shenji Battalion, but also a Tianji Battalion in the past few years has begun to show its grandeur, he saw it a few years ago, there is no movement in the blue sky and daylight, but people can come out at any time in the dark places of the roof, and he is now letting people go to the roof to inspect it because of this, otherwise Xu Zizhen dares to break into here alone, no matter how you look at it, it is not normal.
After a while, reports came from outside the door, no figure was found on the roof or in various corners, and they had been carefully searched several times to confirm the safety of the surroundings.
"No one?" Miao Fu became more and more strange, his eyes stared at Xu Zizhen, as if he wanted to see something from him.
Xu Zizhen smiled and let him see, it didn't matter if he didn't have to sit, he just stood in the center of the hall.
Liu Zhengyan couldn't help it a little and asked, "Xu Zizhen, what is your purpose in coming here, you don't have to dodge, just get straight to the point." He was also a little nervous, so he was no longer hypocritical, and simply called Xu Zizhen's name.
Xu Zizhen looked strange: "I'm so decent, it was your people who brought me here, why did I come?" I'm asking you, what do you mean by bringing me here? ”
Miao Fu raised his hand, stopped Liu Zhengyan from what he was about to say, and said, "Xu Zizhen, since I inadvertently invited you here today, how about I simply ask you to do me a favor?" ”
Xu Zizhen asked, "What's busy?" ”
The corners of Miao Fu's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was sneering: "I want to invite you, in your name, to invite Uncle Zhang to come here at night." ”
Xu Zizhen also raised the corners of his mouth, and he also smiled, knowing that Miao Fu would say this, he dared to touch into Ying Tianfu alone, show his face in front of Miao Fu's people, and even be escorted here by them, so he knew that Miao Fu Liu Zhengyan was in a very embarrassing situation now, and there was no second way out except to negotiate with Uncle Zhang.
"It's okay to invite Master Zhang to come, but I want to know, what are you going to talk to him about?" Xu Zizhen's smile became more and more obvious, with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you want to talk to him about the dead prince?" ”
Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu's faces suddenly showed a look of surprise, they had always thought that the death of the prince Zhao Yang was well kept secret, but they didn't expect to be broken by Xu Zizhen, the matter had completely escaped their control at this point, and the rhythm was chaotic, and it was no longer the result they originally wanted.
They wanted to trap Zhao Gou and force him to Zen, but Zhao Gou escaped, they wanted to support the prince Zhao Yang to ascend the throne, but Zhao Yang died, only these two things were out of their plan, they couldn't turn over at all, it was originally a military admonition, it was for the world, but now that the prince is dead, they can't tell it clearly, in the eyes of the people, they are thieves, and they are thieves who killed the prince.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a meaning in each other's eyes: this news was really detected by heaven!
But if the news leaks out, Miao Fu will not admit it for the time being.
"Presumptuous! What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Xu Zizhen said: "Okay, you just treat me as nonsense, so don't talk nonsense, Master Miao, what will I do after I invite Master Zhang over?" What are you going to talk to Master Zhang? Use the 'prince' as a hostage and let him let you go? ”
He deliberately accentuated the word prince, with a few hints of sarcasm, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan's faces froze, how could they not hear it?
Miao Fu took a deep breath, looked at Xu Zizhen, and said coldly: "Xu Zizhen, do you know what you are talking about?" Hostage with the prince as a hostage? This is a deception and a great rebellion! ”
"Ho, huh?" Xu Zizhen still looked at him sarcastically.
Liu Zhengyan suddenly said in a deep voice: "There is no way today, the two of us have no choice but to do the matter of military advice, and there is no other intention to invite Lord Zhang to come, just to ask for a favor for the brothers of our battalion and the front division of the palace, the crime of this matter lies with the two of us, and they are forced by the two of us involuntarily." ”
The door of the hall was open, and the sergeant outside the door and the several guards beside Miao Liu all looked moved, and their eyes were red.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
"We are willing to follow the adults!"
Everyone spoke one after another, also trying their best to make their position clear, wanting to downplay the sins of Miao and Liu.
Xu Zizhen sneered in his heart, this product can make a show, and he is still pretending to be a good person to win people's hearts, is it useful? Soldiers? It sounds good to call a soldier, but in fact, it doesn't mean to rebel, not to mention that now that the emperor has run away and the prince is dead, what good result can this matter have?
Miao Fu raised his hand to stop their words, then looked at Xu Zizhen and said: "So far, the two of us have only one way to negotiate with Master Zhang, but it is disrespectful to take the prince as a hostage, so I can only grieve you, Mr. Xu." ”
"Think so highly of me?" Xu Zizhen looked flattered, and then jokingly said, "Actually, since you two claim to have nothing to do with other people, then I will simply tie you two up in front of Zhang Shuye, and then I will intercede for the brothers in your camp, since the first offender is in hand, Zhang Shuye is estimated to still sell me a little face, and as long as the two of you die, the brothers under him will be able to live well, Lord Miao, Lord Liu, what do you think?" ”
