Chapter 107: Letters
Hu Yihuang was working in his mansion that day, and when he returned to the room after leaving Gong, he suddenly found that there was an extra letter on his desk.
The person who wrote to him was his younger brother Hu Yiyang. Others didn't know, but he himself knew that his younger brother was an official in the Qing court. If someone else finds out, they will inevitably give someone a handle. He didn't need to read it to know that this letter was to make him betray the kingdom of heaven and join the Qing court instead. When he was about to follow Hong Xiuquan to revolt, his younger brother disagreed and broke off brotherly relations with him.
"Someone." He summoned humanity.
"Sir." The subordinates outside immediately came in and agreed.
"Did you put this letter on my desk?" Hu Yihuang wanted to find out the source of the letter.
"Master, I picked up this letter on the garden path, and I thought it was dropped by the master, so I put it on your desk." The servant replied.
Hu Yihuang made up his mind, it seems that it is not a mole in his own family. His garden was close to the street outside, and it must have been thrown in by someone from outside.
"Do you know what is written on it?" Hu Yihuang asked.
"Master, you know, I can't read, I can't read at all." When the subordinates saw Hu Yihuang's serious face, they were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and replied.
Hu Yihuang knew that he was an honest man, so he didn't pursue it, although he knew that someone from outside deliberately threw it in, but this letter was a bane after all, if he kept it in his hand, in case this matter was poked out a day later, how should he justify it? But by handing this letter in, what should the king and the other kings think of themselves? Especially Dongwang, who has always been ruthless to traitors, and now he is his own top boss, how will he see himself. It is difficult to say whether other people know that they have a younger brother who is an official, and they will be suspicious of themselves.
Hu Yihuang was in trouble, and he didn't know how to deal with the matter. Suddenly, he thought of a person, he should be able to help himself, and he has a good relationship with himself, this person is Yang Xiaoshan.
Yang Xiaoshan he understands, he has a lot of ideas, he does not take credit, he is kind to people, and he has also cooperated with himself in Cao Village. He is the righteous son of the East King and is deeply favored by the East King. It would be much better for him to coordinate it than to rush into the letter himself.
===================
Zhou Xineng, along with his fellow party Zhu Ba and Chen Wu, studied a plan on how to kill Yang Xiaoshan.
In the past few days, they have hit a wall everywhere, Zhu Ba's uncle didn't pay attention to his rhetoric at all, and was not moved by his persuasion at all, but persuaded his nephew to cut off the connection with the Qing Demon and be honest, for the sake of his uncle and nephew's affection, he did not expose him on the spot.
The same is true of Zhou Xineng's fellow villager friend Huang Wen'an, Huang Wen'an scolded more than once he mentioned the Qing Army on Monday, Zhou Xineng had no chance to persuade at all, and failed before he could open his mouth.
Seeing that it seemed impossible to win more people to betray together, Zhou's plan to assassinate Yang Xiaoshan could be regarded as an explanation to the Qing court, after all, his wife and children had already sent the Qing soldiers who came with him to their camp.
Zhou Xineng's first thought was to poison Yang Xiaoshan with water, but this plan was a bit difficult. Yang Xiaoshan's whereabouts are uncertain, there is no fixed location, and his mansion is only where his wife lives. He and Yang Xiaoshan have never had a relationship, and it seems that the poisoning needs to be considered in the long run.
"Let's just make a dynamite and blow him up." Chen Wu suggested.
The three of them nodded again and again, as long as Yang Xiaoshan appeared in their field of vision, it seemed that the difficulty was not too high.
But who is going to drop the bomb, the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, no one is silent, no one is willing to take this risk. Even if Yang Xiaoshan was successfully blown up, they couldn't run away from this close distance, and the three of them were still waiting to enjoy the glory and wealth, and no one wanted to lose their lives in advance.
Therefore, this spy is also a technical job, although the three of them have become traitors, but their intelligence and ability are not up to standard. As the saying goes, three stinkers are the best Zhuge Liang, but these three people together are not as good as Yang Xiaoshan, and when they were thinking about how to assassinate Yang Xiaoshan, Yang Xiaoshan also paid attention to them.
=========================
After Hu Yihuang found Yang Xiaoshan, he told him about it. Yang Xiaoshan immediately persuaded him to hand over the letter directly to the king of the east.
The good thing was done to the end, and the Buddha was sent to the west, and Yang Xiaoshan asked Hu Yihuang to personally deliver the letter when he was discussing with the East King. This makes it convenient for me to speak for him.
Hu Yihuang said according to Yang Xiaoshan, an hour after he entered the Dongwang Mansion, he also entered the Dongwang Mansion and handed over the letter to the Dongwang. When Dongwang heard Hu Yihuang say this, he still believed Hu Yihuang in his heart, but he still asked: "Why haven't I heard you talk about you before, and you still have a younger brother who is an official?" β
Hu Yihuang looked ashamed, "Since the Jintian uprising, the last general broke off the brotherly relationship with him. What's more, this is not a glorious thing, I can't imagine that he still has the face to write me a letter of persuasion. In order to show the general's loyalty to the kingdom of heaven, I didn't even open the letter, so I sent the letter directly to you, the king of the east. β
Dongwang looked at Hu Yihuang, and he still admired his style in his heart. He didn't give the letter to the Heavenly King, but sent it to himself first, indicating that he was still loyal to him.
"Xiaoshan, read the letter. Look at what great official our protector marquis Qing court has given? Yang Xiuqing laughed and said, Hu Yihuang was named the title of Marquis of the Protector in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Hearing Dongwang say this, Yang Xiaoshan and Hu Yihuang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, it seems that Dongwang still trusts Hu Yihuang very much.
Yang Xiaoshan tore open the envelope and read his beliefs again. Yang Xiuqing laughed after hearing this, and joked: "It's all clichΓ©s, I can't imagine that the Qing court looks up to our heavenly kingdom so much, and can actually give the official position of Admiral from the first grade." If this king had been in the past, should he be crowned a prince? β
After everyone laughed, Yang Xiuqing tore the letter to shreds and patted Hu Yihuang's shoulder, "This matter is over, no one will mention it in the future, just the three of us know that it's okay." In the future, if anyone mentions this, this king will make the decision for you. β
Hu Yihuang was deeply moved after hearing this, knelt down on his legs and saluted: "The last general thanks the East King for his kindness, if there is anything that can be sent in the future, although the East King commands, the last general will not give up even if he dies." β
Yang Xiaoshan on the side saw everything in his eyes, and greatly appreciated Yang Xiuqing's skill in controlling people, so simply and quietly won the loyalty of a tiger general.
"King Dong, Xiaoshan is also convinced of the loyalty of the Protector. But this matter is a bit strange, who left such a letter in the Protector's Mansion? This shows that we have spies of the Qing court in Yong'an City. This matter must not be taken lightly. Yang Xiaoshan said.
"Makes sense, do you have a suspicion?" The king of the east nodded, guarding against the traitor is more priority than the enemy, after all, the traitor is in the shadows, and he doesn't know when he will give a heavy blow to the kingdom of heaven, so he must be guarded against.
"Xiaoshan is still suspicious of Marshal Zhou, who returned to the camp a few days ago, when he came to report, his expression was a little unnatural, and the reason was also far-fetched, I think it is necessary to investigate him." Yang Xiaoshan remembered Zhou Xineng's performance that day and expressed his suspicions.
"Well, you go check on his recent movements. Remember to investigate secretly, Zhou Xineng is an old brother in the sect after all, you must take care of his face and don't hurt the heart of the old brother. "The king of the east is still very thoughtful, and since the uprising, the old brother has been the cornerstone of the kingdom of heaven. They fought bravely and were steadfast in their convictions. In case this matter is a misunderstanding, self-defeating, and a dispute arises, and he is the king of the east, he has to punish Xiaoshan and give them an explanation.
