Chapter 758: Dilemma
The situation in Guilin City has changed dramatically in these days, from the beginning when the government wantonly took people, to the then those Tusi masters who had been silent openly protested, forcing the officials at all levels to release their own people who were arrested in prison for no reason.

But as a result, the situation in the city became more and more tense, and even those who no longer understood the things in the officialdom, or who didn't care much about the rumors, also noticed that the relationship between the liuguan and the toast had become tense, and it seemed that as long as there was a reason, a fight could break out between the two sides.
In this regard, ordinary people are naturally in danger and are very worried that their usual peaceful life will be broken. And those rogue officials are also worried and regretful, how could they listen to King Jing's words and do something to be enemies of these deep-rooted Tusi masters who have a history of hundreds of thousands of years in the southwest, and the next road is completely difficult to walk.
And Jingwangfu, at this time, is still far away from officialdom and doesn't care much about everything, it seems as if the previous incident has nothing to do with them at all.
But in fact, including King Jing, the people in the palace have already been preparing for the worst, not to mention waiting for the worst, but a strict battle is a real adjective.
After reading the letter secretly sent from a certain yamen, King Jing sighed for the first time today: "Hey, this situation is becoming more and more unpredictable. According to rumors outside, those toasts already know that I, the prince, are behind this, and they are ready to take revenge on us. As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Zhen with some complaint.
It was the brocade guard in front of him who persuaded himself to be involved in this incident. And at this point, I'm afraid it's really not far from forcing those toast to make the law. If they had to rebel against themselves, no matter what the outcome of the rebellion would be, the outcome of their own vassal king would be clear.
Seeing King Jing showing such a resentful gaze, Yang Zhen also smiled bitterly in his heart, he still looked down on the other party's mentality. At the beginning, King Jing was still a little responsible, and after being moved by his own words, he acted decisively. But once some accidents occurred and some complaints were received from the local government, they were obviously shaken and regretted.
In fact, if you think about it, it's no wonder that he is. Like this, he hardly participates in any military and political affairs in the local area, and is only raised by the imperial court like a rice worm, so it is naturally impossible for him to be as calm and resolute as a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. However, Yang Zhen also believes that as long as the guidance is properly and the situation is compelled, King Jing will still stand firmly on his side, after all, his identity is still here, and he has no other way to choose.
So in the face of the other party's complaints, Yang Zhen just smiled indifferently: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much, judging from their performance, we still did the right thing." This time, it really hit the key point of these toasts, as long as the government withstands their pressure, and at the same time continues to dig deeper, and even finds out the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, then we can still take the initiative. ”
"It's easier said than done." Zhu Renchang's face showed a look of helplessness: "You didn't know how complicated the situation in the southwest was in the capital in the past, the power in the hands of those toasts is really not small, once they really provoke them and cause turmoil, the local officials will not dare to bear such a criminal responsibility." ”
"The minister feels that they have not really dared to openly become enemies of the imperial court, and this can be relieved by the prince and all the adults for the time being." Yang Zhen hurriedly comforted.
"This is just your family's words, and even this king can't convince them, let alone those officials."
"The minister dared to say this, not just a mouthful, but an inference based on facts. Please think about it, if they are really prepared and plan to make trouble, how can they still put pressure on those yamen to let them go, and directly lead people to attack the yamen and rob people. It's because they're worried about the consequences of doing so, and they're not fully prepared for it, so they use this trick. ”
Yang Zhen's analysis also made some sense, which made King Jing fall into contemplation for the time being. But after a while, he raised his head with a bitter face: "Even if what you say is true, so what? Will the city officials risk rebelling against them? ”
Yang Zhen's eyes flashed at this time: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that this is the only chance for us to completely control the situation." Since they are not ready, we will simply strike first, and use the excuse that they do not obey the king's law to arrest those people under the toast, once they are weakened, then they will just want to make trouble, and there will not be many people who can use it. ”
"You...... How bold you are to come up with such an idea! Do you know how many Miao Zhuang tribes inside and outside Guilin obey the orders of those Tusi? Lone can tell you that there are three times as many Hermes-Epitek here! Once we really force them back, don't talk about the blame of the court, we will have to be killed by them first! King Jing was obviously a little anxious and said loudly.
"Lord Wang, what you said is not accurate." Yang Zhen has found out a lot about the specific situation of Guilin's foreign clans from the palace these days, so he took the opportunity to say: "The real threat to the safety of Guilin City is only those Tusi and their men in the city, as for the outside of the city, if we can control the city defense of the entire city, with the skills of these guys, we will not be able to break Guilin City at all." Moreover, if we can really strike first, and we can still control all the important Tusi leaders in the city, and then take them hostage, are we afraid that those people will not succeed? ”
"This ......" King Jing was suddenly a little speechless. But then, he shook his head like a rattle: "No, in that case, the whole Guangxi will be in chaos, and no one can afford this responsibility." ”
After all, King Jing did not have the courage to become the one who forced the rebellion against Guilin Tusi, and he also believed that even if he issued this order, the local officials below might not follow it, after all, he, the vassal king, did not have the power to ask about local military and political affairs.
In the face of such direct opposition from King Jing, Yang Zhen had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile and say no more. He finally knew that in some things, even if he tried hard, he couldn't do anything, although he asked officials at all levels to talk about the tiger's color, but obviously he couldn't pose too much threat to a vassal king like King Jing, he couldn't force King Jing to meddle in local affairs.
The discussion finally broke up, which made Yang Zhen's heart uncomfortable, and he could only find a few brothers to discuss countermeasures. But after discussing and discussing, it was night, and there was still no clue.
Although the brocade guards who entered Guilin on the same day with them have kept coming with news, saying that they have found some suspicious people, but in this situation, they can't do anything to these guys, and even Yang Zhen is worried that if this continues, he and others will be put under house arrest by King Jing's mansion.
It's not impossible, once his attitude has a great conflict with King Jing, this vassal king must not mind looking at his own guys who may cause chaos first, so as to stabilize the situation in the city. But in this way, it will only make the situation in Guilin City worse, and also allow the White Lotus Sect and those toasts to get more adequate pre-war preparations.
"Second brother, why don't we get out of here and then find a way?" Cai Yingyang looked at Yang Zhendao eagerly. Being left in King Jing's mansion these days really made him feel a lot of grievances.
Several other brothers also nodded in agreement, they were still full of confidence in themselves, and even more confident in Yang Zhen, as long as they left here, with the prestige of Jinyiwei, they might be able to force those officials to cooperate.
In this regard, Yang Zhenke is not so optimistic, if it is in another place, maybe the threat of Jinyiwei will still have some effect, but in the southwest, a place far away from the Tiangao Emperor, it is different.
"Forget it, let's see, maybe in two days, they will change their minds." Yang Zhen waved his hand helplessly, letting everyone disperse and go back to rest.
As the night deepened, the whole palace seemed quieter, only a few lights and candles flickered, but no one moved.
Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer people available in the Jingwang Mansion, that is, the guards guarding the palace, and now there are less than 100 people left, they work in three shifts, plus other things, there are less than 20 people left who can really guard at night, and these people are all arranged to take care of the palace outside the palace and around the prince's bedroom.
In this way, if someone wants to do something, the whole palace will not be able to find out.
Now, for example, a dark shadow crept through the darkness and gently came to a corner door that had apparently been overlooked. The lock on the door had long been rusted, but it didn't bother him, and he pulled out a sharp knife, and with a burst of drumming in the keyhole, he stabbed the lock open.
Then, the man gently pulled the latch on the side door, and with a creak, which was not too loud, the side door that separated the inside and outside of the palace was opened smoothly.
Just after the door opened, dozens of figures rushed in, these people were all dressed in black and masked, and they were still holding bright weapons in their hands, and after meeting the person who opened the door, the leader nodded at him with satisfaction: "Where are the people?" ”
Na Neiying hesitated slightly, and then beckoned: "I'll take you over." ”
The leader nodded again, and under the leadership of Nei Ying, he led a group of black-clothed men to rush towards the main structure of the palace with murderous energy......
