Chapter Ninety-Four: The Beginning of the Reversal

Since that night in the secret room above the restaurant on the "south bank of the river", Liu Yi broke his finger and formed an alliance with Yu Wenxin and Liang Shiyan against Sui Fuzhou, for nearly 100 days, this is the first time that the three of them have reunited together.

Seeing Liu Yi walking into the main hall with a solemn face, Liang Shiyan deliberately tested him, and suddenly shouted at him: "Shu Gong, the good things you have done with these two people, now that the incident has happened, what else do you have to say?" ”

Liu Yi had a heart, and was coldly drunk by Liang Shiyan, bluffing his footing unsteadily, and almost collapsed to the ground. Shi Wansui hurriedly got up and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help him steady and stand still.

"Hooray? Why are you here too? Liu Yi clearly knew Shi Wansui, and when he saw that he was also in the room, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Shu Gong, don't be busy asking him first, let me ask you, did you send someone to do it?" Liang Shiyan saw that Liu Yi was so out of shape, and he was even more suspicious that Huizhen's death was related to Liu Yi, so he stopped him and asked after him.

Liu Yi stabilized his mind, breathed a long sigh of relief, and replied with a sad face: "I thought it was a good thing that the two of you did, but Sheng Gong came to ask me." Don't hide it from the two of you, in the past few days, my 'Jiangnan Bank' restaurant has been stared at by people sent by Pu Liurujian. Just now, on the way to your mansion, if I hadn't shaken off the tail behind me in a roundabout way, I wouldn't have dared to come to the Sheng Mansion rashly. ”

"Why didn't I invite the two of us to the 'south bank of the river' to meet, so that's the case." Yu Wenxin was observing his words and expressions, and he believed most of Liu Yi's words, but he still didn't believe that Huizhen's death really had nothing to do with him, "However, if you want to say that in today's Chang'an City, whoever wants to kill Huizhen will be fast, who can kill Huizhen, will there be a second person besides Sheshugong?" ”

Liu Yi was really a little moved, sat down directly under Liang Shiyan, and asked Yu Wenxin with round eyes: "What is the intention of Yinggong's words?" I have no grudge against the monk Huizhen, and I have no enmity recently, why should such a wise person in Britain think that I ordered someone to kill Huizhen? ”

Liang Shiyan, as the proprietor of today's three-person gathering, and in front of his former Shi Wansui, he didn't want Yu Wenxin and Liu Yi to argue on the spot, which would damage his face, so he persuaded calmly: "Two, our old brothers and sisters parted a few months ago, and we can reunite today, why quarrel over trivial matters?" Please put your anger to rest for a moment, I have great news for you here. ”

As he spoke, he gave Shi Wansui a look and signaled that he could speak.

Shi Wansui clenched his fists in his chest, saluted the three princes present, and said in a rough voice: "Two months ago, the last general received an order from the general (referring to Liang Shiyan), and the last general tried to persuade the general Er Zhuji to raise troops against the Sui. The last general was ordered to test and persuade General Erzhu several times, but General Erzhu had been moved by the last general's words, but he had not yet revealed his heart to the last general. The last general was in Beijing today, one was to explain the details to the governor, and the other was to implore the governor to appoint another person of noble status to go to Huazhou to finally persuade General Erzhu to agree to raise troops. ”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yi and Yu Wenxin couldn't help but let out an "oh".

Liu Yi looked at Liang Shiyan in surprise and praised: "I haven't met for several months, but I didn't expect Sheng Gong to plan such a big event." Coincidentally, I invited you to meet here today for the same thing, and I want to discuss with you. Shi Kaifu, do you have anything else to report to Sheng Gong? ”

Hearing that Liu Yi gave Shi Wansui an eviction order, Liang Shiyan knew that Liu Yi suddenly invited Yu Wenxin to his mansion to get together, there must be important matters to discuss, and he didn't want the matter of the three of them to reach the ears of the fourth person, so he instructed Shi Wansui: "Regarding this matter, you have done your best." Stand back for the time being, take a break in your room, and I'll have something else to tell you later. When you came into my house, did you show your true colors? ”

"The last general pretends to be a woman, and enters the Shengguo Mansion with a curtain on his head, and no one in the mansion should recognize the last general." Shi Wansui said goodbye to the three of them, and seeing that Liang Shiyan was speechless, he turned around and left the main hall.

"This person looks like a reckless man, Duke Sheng handed over the matter of persuading Er Zhuji to raise troops to him, aren't you afraid that once the matter is leaked, it will affect the three clans?" As soon as Shi Wansui went out on the front foot, Yu Wenxin followed closely and asked Liang Shiyan.

"Yinggong is too worried." Liang Shiyan hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Yi took the initiative to speak for Shi Wansui, "According to my understanding of Shi Wansui, he is not only brave and champion of the three armies, but also a rare fierce general, and his father Shi Jingyuan is an old general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Sheng Gong is a friend of eight worships, and he is a good brother of Jin Lan, he treats Sheng Gong not as a parent, but as a parent, otherwise, with Sheng Gong's cautious behavior in the past, he will not hand over such a major matter to him to do." What Shi Wansui said just now is mostly the truth, but he wants Sheng Gong to go to the Huazhou army in person to persuade Er Zhuji to raise troops against Sui, but there is no need for it now. ”

Liang Shiyan listened to Liu Yi, a Confucian scholar and Wenchen, talk about the origin of his relationship with Shi Wansui, and he was surprised in his heart, and listening to the meaning of Liu Yi's words, he seemed to be beating Zhu Ji's idea, so he asked him curiously: "Could it be that Shu Gong can still find a suitable person than the old man?" ”

Although Er Zhuji has always been good friends with Sheng Gong and Shi Jing, Sheng Gong is just a colleague to him after all. The person I want to talk about has the status of a monarch and a minister with Er Zhuji, Sheng Gong, please think, is it you who go to Huazhou in person, and have a better chance of convincing Er Zhuji, or is this person going out and has a better chance of winning? ”

"Could it be that Shu Gong, you didn't have the idea of beating Er Zhuji earlier? Who is this man you are talking about? ”

Liu Yi stepped into this main hall, and for the first time there was a strange smile on his face: "The sister-in-law of the monk in Wanshanni Temple is disabled, do you know who she is?" To tell you the truth, yesterday she summoned me, claiming that she had secretly contacted General Erzhuji, who led the army stationed in Huazhou, and chose the opportunity to raise troops against Sui, and asked me if I would like to be Erzhuji's internal response. It was precisely because of this good news that I invited Duke Ying to come to the Sheng Mansion to discuss important matters. ”

"Crippled? I haven't heard of this person, I only know that most of the concubines and maidens in our Great Zhou harem were placed in Wanshanni Temple by Puliu Rujian and Dugu Jialuo, so it won't be which lady is left, right? Yu Wenxin shook his head in confusion at first, and then a light appeared in his eyes.

"What Yinggong said is not bad, the remnant is not someone else, it is the Empress Tianda, one of the five queens of the harem of Emperor Xuan, who respects Zhu Manyue." Liu Yi said proudly, "I thought that only the three of us secretly formed an alliance and conspired against Sui, but I didn't know that the Great Empress of Heaven had already taken action. If it weren't for her, on the night of Emperor Jing's murder, she used the name of visiting the palace to inform Empress Da Tianyuan of the truth about Emperor Jing's murder, how could Empress Da Tianyuan refuse to accept the title of Princess Leping of the Sui Dynasty? The three of you and I have this strong reinforcement, it is really heaven that will not destroy my Great Zhou! ”

Liang Shiyan plotted to instigate Er Zhuji to raise troops against Sui for many days, but he didn't want to be taken away by others when his great achievement was about to be completed. So, he asked Liu Yi with a thorn in his words: "According to Shu Gong's words, Tianda Niangniang is the biological mother of Emperor Jing, and she has a grudge against Pu Liuru Jian, and she is bent on opposing Sui, but how could she find Shu Gong, the hero of Pu Liurujian in the past, and invite you to join the gang?" ”
