Chapter 808: Assist Trio
Zhang Heng hurriedly got up, helped Duan Da with both hands, but his eyes were staring at Yuwen Shu and said: "General Duan, don't be like this, you and I are both subordinates of the King of Jin, and we share the worries of the Lord, but this matter is very important, and it seems that you and I are not suitable to get involved......
Yuwen Shu saw that although Zhang Heng was prevaricating in his mouth, a pair of eyes were staring at him, and he understood that it was time for him to show his attitude, so he stood up solemnly, and saluted Zhang Heng with a fist: "Although Bertong is not a subordinate of the royal palace, since following the king Pingchen, the king of Domeng has raised his love and repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks, and Bertong has long regarded the king as the main one. Now that the king is in danger, Berton is willing to use his life to protect the king. Zhang Changshi has a place to get Bertone, please command. ”
Zhang Heng saw that Yu Wenshu expressed his attitude without hesitation, so he pulled Yu Wenshu with one hand and Duan Da with the other, persuaded the two to sit down in the seat, and asked in a deep voice: "Two generals, if things don't work out in the future, I don't know what the two will do?" ”
Yu Wenshu and Duan Da replied angrily: "Broken bones, never implicate the prince!" ”
"Good!" Zhang Heng wanted the words of the two of them, clapped his palms, and said, "Jianping is willing to work together with the two of them to support the king of Jin, and he will not give up." ”
After all, Yuwenshu had personally experienced all kinds of disputes in the previous dynasty, although he was determined to join forces with Zhang Heng and Duan Da to serve Yang Guang for the position of crown prince, but because he thought that he had not obtained Yang Guang's permission, his heart was not very steady, so he reminded Zhang Heng: "Zhang Changshi, the last general estimated the trip of the King of Jin to return to the dynasty this time, and only stayed in Chang'an for two or three days, but I don't know what the King of Jin plans to do?" ”
Zhang Heng groaned and turned his gaze to Duan Da.
"Don't hide it from the two, the last general heard during his stay in Beijing with the prince that the prince has resigned from the East Palace to the emperor and Niangniang, and it seems that he has no intention of competing with the prince." Duan Da shook his head and said.
"Well, knowing that there are people in the court who are obstructing it, it is impossible to do anything, so he withdraws, and it is not impossible...... However, what I am worried about is that the prince is now in the center, and he can find opportunities at any time to be unfavorable to the prince, although the prince has the protection of the emperor and his mother, and he is not in serious trouble for a while, but he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and if there is no capable person in the court to help, sooner or later he will suffer from it, not to mention others. Zhang Heng did not think that Yang Guangli's resignation as crown prince was sincere, but he was worried that he was far away from the center of the court and that there was a lack of important ministers in the court.
"Fusui Jiangnan is by no means a one-day achievement, according to Botong's opinion, it may not be a bad thing for the prince to return to Jiangnan quickly......" Yu Wenshu made an idea in his heart, looked at Zhang Heng with a faint gaze, and said.
"I see what Bertone means." Zhang Heng waved his hand to stop Yu Wenshu from continuing, and after a moment of conversation, he said, "But now it is far from the time you said." The most urgent thing now is to try to find one or two important ministers for the prince in the court as internal aid, and help the prince enter the East Palace as soon as possible, which is the best policy. ”
"Zhang Changshi and Chief Yuwen don't know that Gao Servant was impeached by the courtiers not long ago for urging the emperor to protect the prince, does this show that there are still people among the courtiers who support the prince?" Duan Da reminded Zhang Hengdao.
"Gao Ying has always been upright, the reason why he took the lead in persuading the emperor not to abolish the establishment, according to my speculation, most of them are out of consideration for the stability of the court situation, but as early as before the emperor decided to appoint the king of Jin as the commander and raise troops to attack Chen, for the heart of the prince, he specially issued an edict to make Gao Ying marry the prince, which became the reason for the courtiers to accuse Gao Ying. Now that the emperor has moved his mind to depose the crown prince, he will never let Gao Ying control the government alone, and will definitely support others to compete with him, which gives us a great opportunity. Zhang Heng nodded, explaining the joints and benefits to Yu Wenshu and Duan Da.
"In Zhang Changshi's opinion, which courtier will the emperor reuse to balance the court situation?" Yu Wenshu hurriedly asked Zhang Hengdao.
"I heard that the western frontier is uneasy, the emperor appointed the king of Shu as the commander, and the army went to the conquest, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Zhang Heng didn't answer Yuwen Shu directly, turned to Duan Da and asked.
"It is true. The king of Shu was the marshal of the march, and Yang Su, the prince of Yue, was the marshal of the march, commanding 200,000 troops to conquer the Western Turkic Datou Khan. Zhang Changshi, isn't the person you are talking about Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo? Duan Da suddenly realized something, stared at Zhang Heng and asked.
"Not bad. If it comes to governing the country and commanding the army to quell chaos, the only person who can compete with Gao Ying in the DPRK and China today is Yang Chudao. I expect that when he triumphantly returns from the western Xinjiang this time, the emperor will entrust the important task of the court. However, I have also tested his mouth many times before, trying to persuade him to help the prince, and every time he talks about it left and right, I don't know what he is planning in his heart? ”
"Yang Su, I know him very well." Yu Wenshu listened to Zhang Heng's words and said, "He seems to be dashing, but he is very keen on fame in his heart, and he is the best at looking at the wind and steering the rudder. If Zhang Changshi wants to use him as internal aid from the DPRK and China, it is not difficult. ”
"Oh? If Botong can persuade Yang Chudao to help, then Wang Yeshu can be worry-free. Zhang Heng said in surprise.
"The last general is not talented, I am willing to give it a try." Yu Wenshu got up again, clenched his fists and said.
"When Yang Chudao commanded the troops to quell the Jiangnan rebellion before, he was repeatedly tempted to no avail, but I don't know how Botong wants to persuade him to help the prince achieve great things?" Zhang Heng asked Yuwen uneasily.
Although Yang Su is wild and uninhibited in front of the world, he is obedient to the words of his brother Yang Yue. Botong plans to befriend Yang Yue with a lot of profit first, and ask him to pass on his brother, promising to be a high-ranking official, and he will be able to move Yang Su to help the prince. Yu Wenshu replied quite confidently.
"That's very good." Zhang Heng listened, thought about it, and said, "While He Zhu'er is still in Jiankang, Botong might as well go to beg him, pretending that there have been murders under Jiankang's rule, resulting in the assassination of Wang Servant and Xinyi Shitai one after another, you are afraid that the King of Jin will be punished heavily, annoying him to speak in front of Niangniang, and transfer you back to Chang'an, so as to win over the Yang brothers for the use of the prince." At the same time, General Duan and I did our best to help the prince in Jiangnan, and in the future, if something happens, we can also build a foothold for the prince. ”
That day, the three of them discussed in Zhang Heng's mansion until late at night, and then dispersed.
Early the next morning, Yuwenshu rushed to the pavilion according to what Zhang Heng said, and begged He Zhu'er to try to transfer him back to Chang'an. He Zhu'er took care of Yu Wenshu in the palace in his early years, and only accepted a generous gift from him yesterday, so it was inconvenient to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
Sure enough, less than a month after He Zhu'er returned to Chang'an, the imperial court issued an edict of transfer, demoting Yu Wenshu to the general of the right guard hussars, and ordering him to return to Chang'an immediately after receiving the edict.
After receiving this edict, Yuwen Shu discussed with Zhang Heng and Duan Da and returned to Chang'an with a large number of rare treasures, hoping to find internal aid for Yang Guang in the court to help him seize the sect and enter the East Palace.
