Guo Bin said to Yuan Shao: "Do you know who is ambushing you here?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Didn't Qianyang say that they are all Taipingdao? ”

Guo Bin nodded and said: "It's Taiping Dao, this first brother, do you know why the younger brother knows that they are Taiping Dao?" ”

Yuan Shao thought that Zhang Liang and Guo Bin had a conversation, and said tentatively: "Could it be that Qianyang knows the leader of the Taiping Dao?" ”

Guo Bin said: "That's not the case, the reason why the younger brother knows that they are Taiping Dao is because they set out from Yangzhai County to ambush the original brother." ”

Yuan Shao's color changed and he said, "Oh? Could it be that Qianyang actually knew about this in advance? ”

Guo Bin said: "Brother Ben, friends are friends, and you have a heart-to-heart relationship. How can I, Guo Bin, be the one who makes bandits and frames friends? ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Qianyang has misunderstood, and my brother has no such intention." After a pause, he said, "I'm just curious for my brother, why did these people set off from Yangzhai?" ”

Guo Bin said: "Two days ago, a group of Taiping Dao entered Yangzhai City, with a total of nearly 500 people. ”

Yuan Shao stood up in shock and said, "What! Two days ago? Then he sat down slowly and said, "What does Qianyang mean is that these Taiping Dao are the people who went to ambush us?" ”

Guo Bin said: "These people came in a hurry, and before they could reconnoiter Yangzhai City, more than 100 people entered the city and scattered and hid in the courtyard of the county Cheng Jiaren. ”

Yuan Shao nodded and motioned for Guo Bin to continue.

Guo Bin continued: "At that time, the younger brother had already taken office, registered the displaced people in the city, gathered in the west of the city, and built a new city. Therefore, we can know the existence of these nearly 500 Taiping Dao masters for the first time. ”

Yuan Shao said: "Yes, the matter of building a new city, Brother Wei has already learned from your last letter. ”

Guo Bin said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank my first brother Yu Jingzhong for running for my younger brother, so things can go so smoothly." ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "My own brother, there is no need to be polite." ”

Guo Bin said: "At that time, the younger brother was still wondering, why did so many Taiping Dao masters suddenly enter Yangzhai? It is said that Yangzhai is not a rich county, and it is only right that if you want to beg, you should go to Yingchuan County to govern. Moreover, according to the spies, these Taiping Dao people are equipped with martial arts, which is by no means comparable to ordinary homeless people. ”

At that time, the younger brother thought that no matter what happened to the Taiping Road to Yangzhai, it would not be wrong to make more preparations, so he secretly transferred 500 people from Fulong Villa to ambush Zhuangzi outside the city. Just in case. ”

"At noon today, the younger brother got the news that nearly 300 Taiping Dao people lurking in Zhuangzi outside the city went to the north of Yangzhai City in batches. At the time, I was relieved that I had finally gotten most of the trouble away. But how do you know, after a while, I received the news that my brother's car had arrived in the north of Yangzhai City. ”

"At the beginning, when Guo Da came back, the younger brother suspected that these Taiping Dao people had entered Yangzhai or had something to do with the arrival of the original brother, but he didn't know that the eldest prince was also traveling with the original brother, so he ruled out this possibility."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he got up abruptly and said, "Qianyang is saying that someone passed the news that the eldest prince was also here to Taiping Dao?" ”

Guo Bin said: "Yes, I wasn't sure at the beginning, but now I can feel more and more that these Taiping Dao masters not only knew in advance that the eldest prince was coming to Yangzhai, but they were entrusted by others to get rid of the eldest prince!" ”

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Who the hell is so bold!" Such an act is almost the same as rebellion. ”

Guo Bin said: "Brother Benchu, do you still remember the people who were in Xu Feng's mansion at the beginning? ”

Yuan Shao said: "Wang Yue? Although he knew that the purpose of this trip was to protect the eldest prince, if the eldest prince was assassinated, how could he get out of it? Even the Jiaozhou Shijia will also be uprooted! And this time, thanks to Wang Yue's desperate killing, he can be safe, if he leaks the news, how can he work so hard? ”

Guo Bin said: "What the junior brother said is not Wang Yue. Can this first brother remember, another guest invited by Xu Feng? ”

Yuan Shao asked, "Oh? Brother Wei remembers that he is a good man with outstanding martial arts, is he actually related to this matter? ”

Guo Bin said: "This person's name is Ma Yuanyi, he is the generous leader of Taiping Dao, and when the younger brother entered Beijing, Yu Yanshi met him. Wang Yue was also there at that time, and he also had a conflict with him. ”

This time Zhang Liangyang Zhai's incident, there must be Ma Yuanyi to report the news. The stakes are high, and Guo Bin also needs to share information with his own side in order to tide over the difficulties together. The so-called righteousness of friends is so fragile in the face of interests.

Yuan Shao said: "Then why is Wang Yue also a guest on Xu Feng's seat?" ”

"But the little brother doesn't know about it." Guo Bin replied, "It's just that Xu Feng is Zhang Rang's minion, and the younger brother speculates that Xu Feng's collusion with Taiping Dao must be approved by Zhang Rang." "Where is he speculating? This is what he heard from later historians.

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "What Qianyang said is reasonable, I think that although Xu Feng is a regular servant, where is the foundation?" Where do you have the courage to collude with Taipingdao? ”

Guo Bin agreed: "What the first brother said is very true, as for the matter of the eldest prince coming to Yangzhai, it is Zhang Rang's suggestion, how can he escape the eyes and ears of Taiping Dao?" ”

Yuan Shao exclaimed: "What? Qianyang is saying that Taiping Dao's ambush of the eldest prince this time was done by Zhang Rang? ”

Guo Bin said: "Zhang Rang is just a eunuch, how can he mobilize Taiping Dao to dispatch so many masters and such a big formation to deal with the eldest prince?" Besides, even if the eldest prince is killed, what good can he do? ”

Yuan Shao said: "If you can marry the second prince, after a hundred years of the Son of Heaven, you can..."

Speaking of which, even Yuan Shao himself didn't believe it. Even if the future prince ascends the throne, eunuchs are needed. Since Zhang Rang can assist Liu Hong, the son of heaven, why can't he continue to assist Liu Bian? Zhang Rang is not only kind to Queen He, but his Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the He family! With such a close relationship, in the future, Liu Ban will ascend the throne, who will he not favor him? Why did he have to take the risk of clan punishment, colluding with the Taiping Dao and plotting to kill the eldest prince?

Seeing Yuan Shao's expression, Guo Bin knew that he had also thought of the inappropriateness, so he spoke: "What if Zhang Rang was coerced? ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Oh? Who is the latent sun into? Taiping Road? ”

Guo Bin learned from the strategists on TV, shook his head and said, "Non-yes, non-yes." Seeing that Yuan Shao ignored him, he was not embarrassed, and continued: "Do you still remember what Ma Yuanyi said to Xu Feng in Xu Feng's mansion that day? ”

Yuan Shao said: "But if they want to rebel? Brother Wei also mentioned this matter to Uncle Guo many times, but Uncle Guo didn't seem to take this matter to heart. ”

Guo Bin said: "That's exactly what happened. Taiping Dao is about to do something, why assassinate the eldest prince in one fell swoop many times? Regardless of the success or failure of this matter, it will definitely attract the imperial court to investigate, and when the Taiping Dao incident is leaked in advance, they will definitely lose more than they gain! Besides, the eldest prince is ten years old, not an only son, and has not yet been knighted. Even if the assassination is successful, it is difficult to cause much turmoil. ”

Yuan Shao nodded unconsciously and said, "So, according to the meaning of Qianyang, who was Zhang Rang coerced?" ”

Guo Bin said: "Brother Ben, think about it, if the eldest prince unfortunately dies, then who will be the candidate for the prince?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Naturally, it is the Second Princes' Association. The second prince was born and lost his mother, and the Son of Heaven also felt a lot of guilt about him. And he is talented, and he grew up in Yongle Palace since he was a child, and was carefully raised by the Empress Dowager Dong. It's just that the second prince is still young, and he is only three years old this year, so how can he... ”

In fact, Liu Xie was only two years old at this time, but the ancients often used imaginary years to calculate age, so Yuan Shaocai said that it was three years old.

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao sat up in shock again, opened his mouth and said: "Could it be, could it be that according to Qianyang's meaning, it was not Taiping Dao who coerced Zhang Rang, but, but..."

Guo Bin also stood up and said, "Yes, what the younger brother is referring to is the Empress Dowager Dong." ”

Yuan Shao was shocked, but he had to agree, judging from the current intelligence, Guo Bin's speculation was the closest to the truth. Because the Dong family wants to maintain the status of their relatives and continue to form a huge influence on the court situation, they are naturally in a state of hostility with their new relatives. If Liu Bian is a prince without the support of a foreign family, Empress Dowager Dong is naturally willing to put on a kind appearance, raise Liu Bian, and then logically continue their days of covering the sky with one hand.

But Liu Bian's mother, Empress He, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she not only bribed the ten permanent servants to ascend the queen's throne, but also poisoned Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren, and coaxed Liu Hong, the son of heaven, to crown He Jin as Henan Yin. This Henan Yin is like the governor of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty, the head of the world's governors, and the power is much greater than that of the modern mayor of Beijing.

Therefore, Liu Bian, who had strong foreign support, was excluded by the Empress Dowager Dong. even persuaded the Son of Heaven to raise him in the Taoist temple, so as not to be contaminated with the anger of his mother, Empress He. In fact, isn't this a means to alienate the Son of Heaven from the eldest prince Liu Yan?

And Empress Dowager Dong took advantage of the pity and apology of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, for Liu Xie's loss of his mother, and raised him in Yongle Palace, hoping that one day, he would be able to ascend to the throne. Then Liu Xie's Dong family, which has always relied on outsiders, has become the most powerful relative. It's a good calculation!

A few days ago, when Guo Bin entered Beijing, he said to Liu Hong, the son of heaven, that he was supported by the scholar class, but he also undoubtedly offended the Empress Dowager Dong's faction, who was looking forward to Liu Xie's accession to the throne.

And Liu Hong, the son of heaven, later let Liu Bian study in the East Palace, which basically established Liu Bian's status as the prince, and it became the fuse of the matter.

Therefore, it makes sense that Empress Dowager Dong wanted to get rid of Liu Bian in order to achieve the purpose of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle. If Gainif Liu Zhi dies, the Dong family will benefit the most.

As for framing Guo Bin, he was just piggybacking, a small pavilion marquis, and he didn't see it in their eyes.

Presumably, Empress Dowager Dong had Zhang Rang's handle in her hands to be able to command him, and he proposed to let Liu Bian go to Yangzhai to "observe the world", and let the people in the rivers and lakes assassinate Liu Bian. In this way, if the big thing is successful, it will be good luck and eat chicken every day; If it fails, it won't be able to involve the Dong family in any way.

This bloody plot, in the eyes of Guo Bin, who is accustomed to watching Gongdou TV series in later generations, is naturally known and has no new ideas; For Yuan Shao, who is only in his early twenties, it is an earth-shattering event.

Yes, all dynasties and dynasties, when it comes to the inheritance of the throne, are all major events related to the stability of the country, but they can also be called "earth-shattering".
