Chapter 1152: Delaying Methods
As soon as Zhang Fan's words came out, although Wang Meng said that he couldn't guess what kind of details Zhang Fan had prepared, he already roughly knew what Zhang Fan was going to do.
Speaking of the people who have recently lived in the palace of the king of Shu, in addition to Zhang Fan, a group of people who have come from afar in the capital, there are only those people from the family of the king of Shu who came here for the New Year.
Although it is said that doing this kind of thing cannot last long, as long as Zhu Xuanqi has any suspicions, he only needs to find someone to investigate a little, and he can immediately see through Zhang Fan's lies, but Zhang Fan doesn't care about these, all he wants is such a hammer deal, as long as he can delay Zhu Xuanqi for a day, it is enough, and after tomorrow passes, Zhu Xuanqi will start to suspect Zhang Fan on the spot, but it will take a day to investigate, and when he finds out and questions Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan can completely prevaricate the past with all kinds of reasons, what is wrong, or there is another conspiracy or something like that, there are thousands of reasons, and there is no need to bother about this kind of thing at all.
The most important thing is that Zhang Fan wants to use this method, and he also sees the right time, although the situation in Sichuan is very stable, coupled with Liu Xian's first victory, all people believe that it will not take long for those rebels to be suppressed, for those who know the inside story, it is naturally so; And even for those ordinary people who don't know the inside story, at least on the surface, the situation seems to be very good, so they also believe that things will be like this in the end, so although Sichuan is now facing war, but in fact, it will not happen at all, and the situation is also stable.
However, even if it is stable, it is still an extraordinary moment, not the time to act rashly at will, and for Zhu Xuanqi, why is this not the case.
Speaking of which, this time, Zhu Xuanqi really showed the demeanor of a virtuous king, as the king of Shu, he has 2,000 people under his command, and according to the court's previous attitude towards the world, the acquiescence posture that has been customary, these 2,000 people are just a number of external reports, and the actual number will only be more, not less.
And this time, the war broke out, but Zhu Xuanqi did not transfer these soldiers and horses to Chengdu Mansion because he wanted to take care of his own life, and guarded his Shu Wangfu, but let them stay in the station, and even let them send people to the surrounding provinces, in order to calm the people's hearts.
Although Zhu Xuanqi should have understood that it was absolutely impossible for the more than 20,000 people who rebelled to rush into Sichuan and bring him any threat, and it may seem that he was a little deliberate in doing so, but in fact, there are really not many people who can do this, and Zhu Xuanqi can do this, which is indeed eye-catching.
This also strengthened Zhang Fan's previous thoughts, yes, Zhu Xuanqi has all kinds of problems, and the problems are very big, but that is just his previous experience, and driven by his self-esteem, although this kind of problem, after he ascended the throne of the King of Shu, has lasted for more than ten years, but there is no doubt that this situation is slowly fading now.
Therefore, Zhang Fan can see clearly, compared to Zhu Xuanluo, he hopes that Zhu Xuanqi will stay in this position, just imagine, compared to Zhu Xuanluo, Zhu Xuanqi can be said to be too happy, after he ascended the throne of the King of Shu, he has already made so many things, and it has been up to ten years, and it has only subsided now, if it is the current Zhu Xuanluo who ascends the throne, then he will burst out of the past, and I don't know what it will become.
All in all, it is necessary to dispel Zhu Xuanqi's arrogance, so Zhang Fan will continue to complete the tasks assigned by the Empress Dowager Li, so that Zhu Xuanqi can touch a big nail, which can also help Zhu Xuanqi bury those thoughts as soon as possible, not to mention that he will be beneficial to the court in the future, and it will be harmless.
And on the Empress Dowager Li's side, Zhang Fan also has this confidence to be able to convince her, even if the Empress Dowager Li really felt angry for a while this time, plus Zhu Yijun suffered such a big "crime", which made her feel that it would be difficult to solve the hatred in her heart if she didn't sanction Zhu Xuanqi a little harder, but after all, Empress Dowager Li is not a woman who only knows her own interests and has no overall situation, everything she is doing now is not all for the future, to give Zhu Yijun a world without any trouble.
In this way, Zhang Fan is easier to persuade, he just needs to tell the Empress Dowager Li that compared to letting Zhu Xuanqi step down and replacing it with a Zhu Xuanluo, it is more convenient to continue to let Zhu Xuanqi sit on the throne of the King of Shu, he just needs to tell the Empress Dowager Li that Zhu Xuanqi no longer intends to cause trouble, of course, the Empress Dowager Li may not be very gullible Zhang Fan's words, but Zhang Fan will do his best to make her believe, after all, this is really good for the court.
However, now is not the time to consider these issues, now, compared to what Zhang Fan is thinking in his head, Wang Meng is more concerned about the feasibility of Zhang Fan's idea.
When Zhang Fan proposed this method, Wang Meng had already begun to consider this matter.
Just thinking about it a little bit, Wang Meng understood that Zhang Fan's method is indeed very good, and it can connect things that don't exist at all with people in reality, so that it seems that it is indeed related, just imagine, if a group of outsiders want to be unfavorable to the Shu Palace, even if this kind of thing is true, it is difficult to make Zhu Xuanqi, the prince, believe it, and for Zhang Fan, even if they know the reason, it is impossible to tell Zhu Xuanqi the truth.
However, if those people are used as reasons, Zhu Xuanqi may believe it, and the truth in this is actually very simple, the people outside are not familiar with Zhu Xuanqi, so it is better to use the people inside, and the people selected by Zhang Fan are still people from the Shu Dynasty, that is to say, they are all people who are related to Zhu Xuanqi.
There is a saying that it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, but another meaning of this sentence is that it is the same family, and what happens in it will not be less, and for the Shu King family, which has a big family, a noble status, and a very powerful family, it is impossible for there to be no problems in such a family, and they are all big problems.
Zhang Fan doesn't care about any disputes between the lords of those small countries below, but what he wants is actually the contradiction between these people, or one of them, and Zhu Xuanqi.
This kind of thing is too common, even if there were no such things in the first place, as long as Zhang Fan can make a little fuss, if he wants to make Zhu Xuanqi believe, it is not a problem at all, plus Zhu Xuanqi is now too suspicious, after Zhang Fan's teasing, he will definitely be able to be tricked.
And that's not all.
"I've already planned it," Zhang Fan continued to say to Wang Meng, "It's the thing that happened on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve,"
"What do you mean...... "Wang Meng continued Zhang Fan's words, "I want to connect what happened that night with someone in the Shu King's family,"
"That's right, that's what I mean," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "In this case, as long as I point a little bit about Zhu Xuanqi, it's fine, and he is also very concerned about this kind of thing, in this way, I don't have to say too much, he will think about it himself, and in this way, I don't need to say too much, in this way, the chance that I will immediately show my flaws is very small,"
"The adult's method is good, but there are still some uneasy places in the humble position," Wang Meng continued, "In the end, what reason does the adult plan to use to tell Wang Ye, after all, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, what happened, although it was said that we arrested people, and did not see blood, but the rumors that the humble post heard now are all saying that someone was fighting outside the wall of the royal mansion that night, and I don't know who started to spread it, and now it has been said that it was a human life."
"However, the rumors of lowly duty don't care much, what lowly cares about is that now this rumor has reached the ears of the prince, and the lowly position is afraid that even the prince will see it this way, when the time comes, if the prince is suspicious, then what should I do, after all, if the people of the Shu royal family want to get something from the prince, it still makes sense, but if they have something to do with the murder case, I'm afraid even the prince won't believe it,"
"It's indeed as you said," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "I've already thought about this matter, so I didn't plan to tell him anything about the murder case at the beginning, I just told him that what happened that night had something to do with this Shu Palace, and I would secretly tell him that it was his relatives who did it."
"As for those rumors, I will naturally tell him that those things are simply made out of nothing, think about it, I'm afraid that even if he has heard those rumors, he will not seriously think that there is a murder case here, and if I tell him that it is related to the Shu Prince's Mansion, he will believe it, after all, after that day, no one in the Shu Mansion's Mansion has disappeared or died suddenly, so it is easy for him to believe it.
"It's just that I really don't have a good time saying about someone sneaking into the palace that night to steal something,"
"I think it's better not to mention it to the prince," Wang Meng said his thoughts, "After all, our purpose is to drag the prince and facilitate our actions, in case the prince is suspicious, and the adult mentions it again, it will be even more suspicious, it will not be good,"
"Well, you're right," Zhang Fan said, "it's not dangerous,"
