Chapter 260: The Great Trend Is Like Water
Lin Kunshan was locked up in a small courtyard, calculating how long he would live, when a group of people dragged him out, hurriedly brought him to the king of the East China Sea, forced him to kneel, and called him "Your Majesty". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The King of the East China Sea hid among the guards, and when he saw Lin Kunshan, he only asked, "Is there anyone from you in the palace?" ”
Lin Kunshan had hinted to the King of the East China Sea that the Qi Seeker could control some affairs in the palace, and the King of the East China Sea still remembered that now that the battle was stale, and the Southern Army could not break through the imperial city, he remembered this matter again.
Lin Kunshan knelt on the ground, looked up at the "emperor", and shook his head blankly, as if he was impressed by the emperor's prestige, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
The King of the East China Sea kicked the Qi Seeker away, and did not pay attention to him or kill him until Han Ruzi asked for it, and instead of letting the King of the East China Sea negotiate in person, he called Lin Kunshan again.
The king of the East China Sea would never go to the barracks to see Han Ruzi, in his opinion, it was to throw himself into the net, and he had to find someone to go instead of him, "Isn't the Qi Seeker the best at lobbying?" You go to see Han Ruzi and persuade him to join forces with me, I am willing to give him the position of emperor. ”
Lin Kunshan accepted the mission, and there was only one request, he had to go out of the city alone, without any guards or monitors. He successfully met the tired marquis, conveyed the meaning of the king of the East China Sea in one sentence, and then mentioned the emperor's treasure seal and Taizu's sword.
Cai Xinghai didn't sleep long, and came out to supervise the intersection again, Han Ruzi took Lin Kunshan to the tent for questioning, and left two guards by his side.
Han Ruzi didn't rush to speak, and sat for a while before saying to Lin Kunshan, who was standing opposite, "Those two things are in your hands?" ”
"Of course not."
"Then you're here to tease me?"
Lin Kunshan laughed dryly, "How can I have the guts?" Tireless Hou has not, Shangguan Sheng has appointed the king of England as the emperor in the palace, but he has never issued a holy decree, which is a bit strange, right? ”
Han Ruzi was silent.
"The battle in the city has reached the point where everything is done, Shangguan Sheng does not issue a holy decree, there is only one reason, he can't send it: there is no shortage of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the palace, there is no shortage of emperor eunuchs, and there is only one thing missing, Baoxi."
"This is all your speculation, Lin Kunshan, what I need now is precisely not speculation."
Lin Kunshan thought for a while, and stopped talking about his guesses when he spoke, "I can enter the palace to find the whereabouts of the treasure seal, and the Taizu sword, this sword is not of much use to others, but it has a little meaning to the tired marquis, right?" ”
"How did you get into the palace? And how to find the treasure seal? Han Ruzi believed that Shangguan Sheng must have searched the palace.
"I have my own way." Lin Kunshan found that the Tired Hou was a little interested, and began to play tricks again, "I just want to know, does the Tired Hou want these two things?" ”
Han Ruzi closed his lips tightly, he knew very well that the thing that Lin Kunshan "just wanted to know" was definitely not this.
"Things must be reversed, Da Chu has been in chaos for so long, and it is time to stabilize. The battle lasted only two days, and the city was already in a miserable situation, with a lack of food and water, especially no vegetables, many houses were occupied by soldiers or even destroyed, and the west of the palace and the west of the city were almost empty. Is Tired Hou sure that this will be over? ”
Han Ruzi stood up, "Everyone is sure, the key is which one you choose to believe, and what do you want to get out of it?" ”
Lin Kunshan laughed, "Tired Hou, I choose Tired Hou, as for what do you want from it...... The hopeful is still too fragile to withstand the wind and waves, and hopes that after the tired marquis recovers the throne, he will be able to pardon the crimes on our heads. ”
The hopeful person is considered to be the instigator of the rebellion of the King of Qi, although he can also appear in public, but with such a charge, it is a trouble after all, and the government will arrest him when he says it, and he does not need to report it to the court.
But Lin Kunshan's requirements were so low, Han Ruzi couldn't believe it, and he didn't say anything, and said, "Bring these two things, and I will give you an innocent body." ”
"Is this the Emperor's Promise?"
"Yes."
Lin Kunshan said goodbye, and when he left, he let out a few words of emotion: "Those who look at qi will also lose their eyes, even if they make mistakes in ordinary people, it is unforgivable to look wrong and tired......"
Soon after Lin Kunshan left, Cai Xinghai asked to see him, "A group of spies came out of the north gate of the capital, and after observation, they went back, and the Su Guards never sent anyone out. ”
Han Ruzi snorted, but his mind was not on this, staring at Cai Xinghai, weighing left and right in his heart.
Cai Xinghai didn't know why, looked down at the armor on his body, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.
"Brother Cai......"
Cai Xinghai knelt down, "Please take back this title, I can't afford it." ”
Han Ruzi smiled, "Cai Dujun, please get up." ”
Cai Xinghai got up at this time, "What do you have to say?" ”
"I have a very important task for you." Han Ruzi really couldn't find any other helpers, and Cai Xinghai was the only credible person around.
Cai Xinghai looked happy, "Let's say it, whether to attack the north gate or block the west gate, although the number of the northern army is small, if it is used properly, it can also receive miraculous results." ”
Han Ruzi shook his head, there was an army coming behind him, there was no need to pursue "miracle effects", "No, I want you to go into the city and be alone." ”
"Into the city?" Cai Xinghai didn't understand.
"The Southern Army and the Su Guards are facing each other in the city, and there is no threat to the outside of the city for the time being. There was a group of people who supported me, most of them scholars, unarmed, trapped in the city and unable to get out, and I feared that they would be harmed and that someone needed to protect them. ”
"I'm willing to go, but ......" Cai Xinghai patted his stomach, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid of delaying the big event of the tired marquis.
"Loaches, they should all be in Nancheng, there can be hundreds of people, you go to the Shengrong Inn and find the loaches, you can find them."
"Shengrong old store? I know where it is, no problem, I'll set off at dawn, borrow a set of clothes from the Northern Army, and it's easy to sneak into the city. ”
Han Ruzi wanted to explain again, but he didn't want to put more pressure on Cai Xinghai, "Self-preservation is the most important." If you see Yang Feng, listen to his orders. ”
Han Ruzi believed that Yang Feng must have something in his hands, and the top priority now was to get in touch with Yang Feng, but he did not specifically emphasize this point to Cai Xinghai, not because he doubted the loyalty of the fat eunuch, but because he did not want to let the other party take too risks.
The day dawned quickly, the Su Guards did not sneak attack, and Cui Taifu did not personally lead the army to attack.
When Cai Xinghai set off wearing the armor of the Northern Army, Lin Kunshan, a Qi Looker, had just bypassed the northwest corner of the capital, and a team of Southern Army came to meet him and take him back to Xicheng.
The western city was turned into a large military camp, the people were driven away, some houses were torn down, and wood, stone and earth were used to block the streets and walls.
The king of the East Sea lived within the west gate, and if anything changed, he could get on his horse and leave the city.
The original owner of the house, a merchant, had a pile of copper coins and scattered gold and silver on the ground, and he was going to flee with these things, but before he could put them up, the people were carried out and thrown into the street.
The king of the East China Sea didn't care about this money, and Mrs. Cui looked down on it even more, and didn't even send someone to clean it up.
As soon as he saw Lin Kunshan coming in, the King of the East Sea left his chair and asked, "How is it?" Does Han Ruzi believe you? ”
Lin Kunshan shook his head, "Tired Hou doesn't believe me, but he thinks he is safe, and he is always right." ”
"I knew he was going to be fooled." The King of the East Sea turned to Cui Hong, who was sitting on the side, "Uncle, it's time to make a decision." ”
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run." Cui Hong's expression was gloomy, he initially just wanted to carry the corpse and ask the guilt and find out what was going on in the city, but he didn't expect the king of the East China Sea to occupy the west gate, he had a hot brain, he was invited to lead the army into the city, and even burned the camp in the rear, he thought he could win in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect it to fall into a stalemate.
The longer the stalemate continues, the more unfavorable it will be to the Southern Army, and even if there is no tired Hou outside the city, reinforcements from all over the country will crush the Southern Army.
"There's no time to think about it." The King of the East China Sea suppressed the anger in his heart, "Thinking that at the beginning, Chu, Zhao, and Qi fought for the world, Chu and Zhao fought fiercely, and Qi watched from the sidelines, greedy for the benefits of fishermen, what did Taizu and the then King of Zhao do?" ”
Cui Hong was silent, and the King of the East China Sea raised his voice: "Taizu and King Zhao temporarily stopped, attacked from the north and south, and broke the Qi State, if there was no such battle, Taizu would have to resign for at least three or five years." Han Ruzi thought that he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so he came out with two tigers to see if he could still sit still? ”
The King of the East Sea thought it was a clever plan, so he was very excited.
Cui Hong thought about it for a while, "At the beginning, Chu and Zhao competed for the front, each retreated a hundred miles, and then sent troops at the same time to attack Lone Qi, so you don't have to worry too much about the other party's sneak attack." But the Southern Army and the Su Guard Army are facing each other inside the city, and no one can withdraw from the city, in case I send troops to attack the Tired Hou, and Shangguan Sheng raises troops to attack me, it is not the Tired Hou who will be attacked, but the Southern Army. ”
Shangguan Sheng will definitely have the same worries, and it is impossible for the two sides who are suspicious of each other to work together.
"But if it goes on like this, neither I nor the King of England will be able to be emperors." The King of the East China Sea was a little anxious, "There is still a northern army behind Han Ruzi, once the northern army arrives, even if we join forces with the Su Guards, we won't be able to defeat it." ”
Lin Kunshan stepped forward and said, "Let me persuade Shangguan Sheng, the situation is pressing, and both sides have to give in to each other." ”
Cui Hong pondered for a while, "Then please trouble Mr. Lin to go, if you want to attack the Tired Hou, you will have to send their own troops at noon tomorrow at the latest, the Tired Hou claims that the Northern Army will arrive in three days, I am worried that it will arrive earlier." ”
Cui Taifu wrote a text message and sent the general to take Mr. Lin to the two imperial historians, and through Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi, he tried to enter the palace to negotiate with Shangguan Sheng.
When only the two uncles and nephews were left, the King of the East China Sea was not so confident, "Lin Kunshan can convince Shangguan Sheng, right?" ”
"As long as he wants to, Lin Kunshan still has the ability." Cui Taifu is more optimistic about the hopeful, "Are Hua Bin's subordinates available?" Last time, he sent three so-called masters to assassinate the Tired Hou, but he didn't succeed. ”
"Don't worry, I've seen the skills of those people, no problem, climb into the palace tonight, wait for Shangguan Sheng to send troops out of the city, they will seize the key to open the palace gate, the Tan family will drive forward, and thousands of southern troops will follow, and they will be able to take the palace." When the time comes, the Han Ruzi will be destroyed externally, and the British King will be captured internally, and the throne will be mine, well, it will also be the Cui family. ”
The two uncles and nephews looked at each other and smiled.
"Any news of your mother?" Cui Hong asked.
The King of the East China Sea looked cold, "It's useless to worry, so when she has been murdered by the Queen Mother, no one can stop me from seizing the palace." ”
Although this is his nephew, Cui Hong still thinks that he will have to be careful when dealing with the new emperor in the future.
Cai Xinghai sneaked into the west gate and was trying to find a way to go to Nancheng, when Lin Kunshan had already been allowed to enter the palace.
Lin Kunshan mentioned the treasure seal to the tired marquis, but did not reveal the true plan of the king of the East China Sea, and volunteered to be a lobbyist for Cui Taifu, but did not point out that the treasure seal was likely to be lost.
For him, the general trend is like water, no matter how it flows, as long as he gets the treasure seal, the hopeful can be invincible. (To be continued.) )
