Chapter 194: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots
At this time, Chen Wenzhou suddenly asked: "Listening to what Lord Shilang just said, this Li Zhu'er is the one who has been taking care of the Lord's daily life?" ”
Yan Zhuang glanced at Chen Wenzhou, seemed to have some understanding in his heart, and asked: "Li Zhu'er is a regular servant, responsible for taking care of the lord's daily life for many years, and is the lord's closest eunuch. I don't know what Brother Chen means by asking this? ”
Chen Wenzhou looked at Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu: "The villain doesn't mean anything else, I heard that the lord's condition has worsened recently, since this Li Zhu'er is the most intimate person of the lord, if you want to come to the lord, you shouldn't have any precautions against him."
Yan Zhuang and An Qingxu were shocked in their hearts, and naturally understood the deep meaning of Chen Wenzhou's words.
The two of them took a cool breath in unison, but neither answered.
Chen Wenzhou snorted secretly in his heart: When is it, and you still have the heart to pretend to be confused with me.
Seeing that the two of them still didn't answer, Chen Wenzhou frowned and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Shilang, so far, we have been forced into a desperate situation, if we are still hiding hide and seek, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come soon." ”
After speaking, he glanced at An Qingxu meaningfully.
An Qingxu was a little stunned, and muttered for a while, as if he had made up his mind, "Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, for today's plan, you can only give it a go." Sir, what do you say you should do? ”
Although Yan Zhuang did not speak, he also set his eyes on Chen Wenzhou, and his meaning was self-evident.
Chen Wenzhou nodded and said: "King Zheng has a huge power, not to mention the lord's preference for him, just because the general Shi Siming has a heavy army and the power of the government and the opposition, it is not something we can compete with!" Even if we try our best and use all means to push the prince to the position of prince, I think the prince will not be able to sit firmly in this position. ”
An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang nodded at the same time, and Yan Zhuang said, "Brother Chen, just say what you mean, right?" ”
Chen Wenzhou looked at the two of them, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "For today's plan, we can only cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”
"Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?" Yan Zhuang changed color slightly when he heard this, and regardless of the side, just saying these words was already full of murderous aura!
After all, An Qingxu had been planning with Chen Wenzhou for so long, so he immediately understood Chen Wenzhou's thoughts, "What Mr. said is,"
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of King Zheng's Mansion with his finger, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck!
Chen Wenzhou nodded, then shook his head again.
Seeing Chen Wenzhou's action, An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang frowned at the same time, not knowing what they meant.
Chen Wenzhou didn't say it directly, but analyzed the situation and said: "I understand what you two think, and I thought the same way at the beginning. King Zheng and the prince are the two sons-in-law of the lord, if something happens to King Zheng, then there will only be one son-in-law of the prince, and then the lord will have to pass on to the prince. ”
An Qingxu and Yan Zhuang both nodded.
Chen Wenzhou shook his head and smiled: "But you two ignored two points. ”
"Which two?"
"The lord's favor for King Zheng, as well as Shi Siming."
Yan Zhuang didn't think so, shook his head and said: "As for the lord's favor for King Zheng, Brother Chen doesn't have to worry about this, the lord just has the two of them, and the rest are concubines." If King Zheng died, the lord could only pass the throne to the prince. ”
Chen Wenzhou waved his hand and said: "I think King Zheng is young, he has neither military merits nor qualifications, but he is the number one candidate for the prince, and it is basically a sure thing, it can be seen that the lord's special favor for King Zheng has reached the point of doting!" If King Zheng dies unexpectedly, the Lord will inevitably investigate to the end, but think about it, who still has the courage to attack King Zheng? ”
An Qingxu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "We can take the opportunity to blame Shi Chaoyi and Shi Siming's father and son, in this way, wouldn't it be even the old man and Shi father and son to clean up together!" ”
When Yan Zhuang heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, "This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone!" ”
Chen Wenzhou shook his head resolutely: "It doesn't make sense!" ”
"Why?"
"First, Shi Siming is not in Fanyang, and Shi Chaoyi is in the outer city, how can they do it to King Zheng? Even if we far-fetched to say that it was the assassin secretly sent by the Shi father and son to assassinate King Zheng, there is a second point, that is, with the relationship between King Zheng An Qingen and Shi's father and son, the father and son have no motive to do it! They have supported King Zheng for many years, and the Lord will not know why they don't do it in the morning and at night, but when King Zheng is about to become the prince, isn't this self-destructive future? ”
"Well," Yan Zhuang said, nodding, "that's something we ignored." ”
"If we make a move on King Zheng, and the Lord investigates it, first of all, it is possible for Shi Siming and his son to attack, then it is not difficult to think that it will be us next! The prince killed King Zheng because of the struggle for the prince, this is the motive, Lord Shilang holds the forbidden army, this is the means! With the temper of the Lord, he is very likely to come to a mercy and cut off righteousness and put the prince to death! Yes, although the lord only has two sons-in-law, the prince and King Zheng, but he also has a son, to say a bad thing, anyway, they are all the sons of the lord, and all the blood that is shed is on his body, which angers the lord, and he is a big deal to pass the throne to these sons of concubines, anyway, it is also the world of the An family. ”
Yan Zhuang was confused, and asked suspiciously: "If you don't do anything to King Zheng, then what should we do?" If King Zheng does not die for a day, the prince will not have any chance. ”
Chen Wenzhou said with a smile: "What Lord Shilang said is not wrong, King Zheng must die, if he does not die for a day, the prince will have no chance, but what I just said is cutting the grass and eradicating the roots." ”
"What's the way to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" An Qingxu's brows furrowed, he thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes showed a look of shock, "Sir, do you mean to let me kill other brothers who are not descendants?" ”
Chen Wenzhou smiled dumbly: "The prince misunderstood, if he really did this, then Fan Yangcheng would really set off a bloody storm!" Besides, I heard that the other princes are not all in Fanyang City, and some of them have gone with the army, so we can't go all the way out of Fanyang City to kill people. ”
"And what do you mean?" An Qingxu said a little impatiently.
Chen Wenzhou stopped talking, looking at his nose and nose, holding his chest with his hands, and looking at him coldly.
Yan Zhuang is a shrewd person, as soon as he saw Chen Wenzhou's appearance, he understood that in Chen Wenzhou's heart, some words were not easy to say directly.
Thinking through this verse, the horror in Yan Zhuang's heart deepened: What words can't be said?
He looked at Chen Wenzhou, and remembered what Chen Wenzhou said, and secretly speculated in his heart: Listen to his meaning, King Zheng must be killed, but it is neither realistic nor impossible to kill the other princes together.
So what does this weeding and eradication mean? Yan Zhuang was puzzled.
