Chapter 843: How did the prince forget her
Zhang Heng coldly brought up the old matter, and asked Pei Yun about the motives and reasons for his intention to surrender to the imperial court a few years ago, and also reminded Yang Guang.
Yes, Zhang Heng's questioning is not unreasonable: is the price of sacrificing 5,000 "Wild Goose's Nest" hidden in Jiangbei in exchange for the safety of Yibo in exchange for being safe and sound? Yang Guang thought to himself, "Assuming that the intention is not just to protect her daughter Lichen, but to start the succession process and have other plans, then she surrenders to the imperial court, then, what is her plan?" ”
Pei Yun was also stunned by Zhang Heng's sudden question, couldn't answer, muttered for a while, and replied forcefully: "So, if you want to find out the cause and effect of this matter, you can only ask one person: Chen Shubao." Only he could understand what his intentions were really trying to do with the court. ”
Somehow, Yang Guang remembered from Pei Yun's sophistry answer that he had drawn up a two-step revenge plan drawn up by his fellow senior brother, the Turkic prince Ran Gan, who had told him about the former Zhou princess Yuwen Panruo.
According to Yuwen Prajna's vision, the first step in the revenge plan is to use An Ruoxi, a spy placed by his side (in fact, An Ruoxi did not play the role of a spy for various reasons) to convey the message of the Chang'an Dynasty to the outside world, cooperate with her inside and outside, and use the powerful forces of the Turks to achieve the goal of restoring the Yuwen clan;
In case the first step fails, Yuwen Panruo also carefully designed the second step revenge plan, still using An Ruoxi to gain Yang Guang's favor, pinning the hope of revenge on the internal competition for the throne in the Sui Dynasty in the future, trying to put Yang Guang on the throne, and then canonizing the prince born to An Ruoxi as the crown prince, so as to achieve the goal of restoring the Yuwen family.
I can't help but admit that if it weren't for Dye Gan personally revealing this secret, An Ruoxi would have died, and Yang Guang still doesn't know, Yuwen Panruo actually designed such a long-term and insidious revenge plan in order to achieve the goal of restoring his Yuwen clan.
Since Yuwen was able to conceive such a long-term revenge plan, why couldn't Chen Shubao, or even Xinyi, Gao Qinglian and the others think of it?
However, Yang Guang thought about it, and felt that with the identity and situation of the heart, and An Ruoxi, who was deeply favored by him, could not be compared, with her own understanding of the mind, the biggest resource she had in the Chang'an Dynasty was to use her identity as the concubine of Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty, and the high prestige she enjoyed among the former ministers of the previous dynasty, could it be that she sacrificed 5,000 people in exchange for the court's trust in her, and still wanted to be like Liu Yi and Yu Wenxin before, and wanted to win over the same party among the former ministers of the previous dynasty, and make trouble?
"What Pei Du Ji said is a feasible way to find out his intentions and make false intentions to the imperial court." Seeing that Yang Guang heard his words, Zhang Heng frowned and muttered, and took the initiative to speak, "But we must also beware of Chen Shubao's refusal to speak, or the fact that he is not involved in this matter at all, we should find another way to solve this mystery." ”
"Jianping, what do you mean by another path?" Yang Guang thought for a long time to no avail, looked at Zhang Heng, and asked in a deep voice.
"Xiao Rushui, Zhang Zhongjian. Xia Guan thought that only these two important members of the "Wild Goose's Nest" were spared in the incident of surrendering to the imperial court, and it is no accident that they have not been traced so far. Zhang Heng replied firmly.
"According to Gu Zier's confession, Zhang Zhongjian is likely to be the real culprit who infiltrated the temple and assassinated Xinyi in the Tongguangni Temple incident, and the lower officials are also in favor of arresting him as soon as possible to find out the truth about Xinyi's death that night." When Pei Yun said this, his tone changed, and he asked Zhang Heng, "It's just, may I ask Zhang Changshi, what is the best way to arrest Xiao Rushui and Zhang Zhongjian?" ”
"Gu Zier's confession once mentioned the division of labor between Xiao Rushui and Zhang Zhongjian: Xiao Rushui is in eastern Zhejiang, Zhang Zhongjian is in the Jiankang area, if we send more capable people to go deep into the people to investigate and covertly visit, it will not take much time, and there should be news of Xiao and Zhang." Zhang Heng replied.
"Zhang Changshi doesn't know, according to the information he has recently, Xiao Rushui may have sneaked to the vicinity ......of Jiangling, and he planned it single-handedly" Pei Yun originally wanted to say that it was Xiao Rushui who planned the successful robbery of 100,000 yuan of deposit, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that Yang Guang was extremely afraid of others mentioning this matter, and swallowed it back.
The method Jianping said is feasible, but it is too slow. This king thought of a way, which could probably attract Xiao and Zhang to take the initiative to show up, so as to take the opportunity to capture them. Yang Guang glared at Pei Yun and said to Zhang Heng.
"Please make it clear." Zhang Heng and Pei Yun said in unison.
"Didn't there be news some time ago that the 'Wild Goose' was not going to send someone to assassinate the king? This king is about to take advantage of the official issuance of the imperial edict to go to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to make an inspection to understand the reaction of the people in Jiangnan to the implementation of the uniform field system by the imperial court. ”
Before Yang Guang finished speaking, he saw Zhang Heng and Pei Yun fall to the ground in unison, and strongly persuaded: "The prince must not take risks!" ”
"Then you guys, in addition to the method I said, what other way can catch Xiao Rushui and Zhang Zhongjian as soon as possible?" Yang Guang leaned forward and asked the two in a tough tone.
Zhang Heng was speechless for a while by Yang Guang's question, but Pei Yun was inspired by Yang Guang, and suddenly remembered someone, raised his head with a slanderous face, and replied: "Xiao Ru Underwater Officer doesn't dare to say that there is a way to catch him, but there is a person by the prince's side, if she is willing, it is still possible to trap Zhang Zhongjian." ”
"Oh, this man is by the king's side? Who is he? Yang Guang stared at Pei Yun intently and asked.
"It's Feng Xiaoxi, who was fascinated by his heart in the Tongguang Ni Temple incident." Pei Yun reminded Yang Guangdao with a smile, "Before Xia Guan went to Jiangnan with his heart, he inquired in detail about the situation of Sima Luo and Feng Xiaoxi, who were with him, and I heard that Feng Xiaoxi was quite admired by Zhang Zhongjian when he was a maid in the Yueguo Mansion, and Zhang Zhongjian also intended to elope with her, but he was forced to assassinate the Yue Guogong in Xinzhou, so he absconded alone. If the prince is invited by Feng Xiaoxi, return her freedom, and send more people to secretly follow Feng Xiaoxi, I believe that it will not be long before Zhang Zhongjian will take the initiative to show up to find her, and then ......"
"Needless to say, just do as you say." Yang Guang didn't wait for Pei Yun to finish speaking, so he nodded in agreement.
