Chapter 188: A Serial Plan
I saw Liu Ling coming out of the crowd from the court, standing under His Majesty Dan, and said in a loud voice: "The minister has a strategy, and it is effortless, you can retreat the army of the vassal king, and you can make the situation of the dynasty safe." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
This sentence sounded like a thunderbolt, leaving the Manchao Yaqi silent. In this kind of chaos, the courtiers knew that it was difficult to have a perfect plan to calm down this huge wave. First, because the situation is confusing, it is unknown who caused the death of the two kings, and there must be huge ambitions and motives hidden behind this conspiracy. The second reason is that the Hou Party, the Son of Heaven Party, the Clan Party, the Vassal King Party, and the officials from the Hanmen scholars have their own interests, and they are intricately intertwined with each other. How to balance and make trade-offs between these relationships is the key to solving the problem. Judging from the current situation, it is still unknown whether the intention of the vassal king is to go straight to Yang Zhi, or whether he intends to put Yang Zhi and the emperor in one fell swoop. But there is no doubt that Yang Zhi is impossible to rule anymore, either she has the ability to be tough on the vassal king to the end, or she has to give up the power of the court, as for the so-called Qing Jun's side, it is actually just an excuse, and the real spearhead is actually pointed at the person behind Zhang Hua. This is where the chess eye lies, and it is also the real purpose and motivation of the vassal king's army. But no one would pierce this layer of window paper. And Liu Ling suddenly said at this moment that he had a way to turn the chaos into invisibility, which of course caused everyone to be highly nervous, and they didn't know what kind of hornet's nest he was going to bucket next.
Yang Zhi nodded: "Liu Qingjia, what can you do, say it quickly." ”
Liu Ling said eloquently: "Weichen thinks that the top priority is not to investigate the conspiracy behind the murder of the second king, but to stabilize the situation first and let the vassal king withdraw his troops." And the reason why the vassal king is menacing this time is because no one in the court can deter the vassal king, so they dare to openly resist the order, Chen Bing Jinggi, how is this different from rebellion? ”
As soon as these words came out, the palace immediately seemed to have exploded, and the clans looked at Liu Ling in surprise, extremely shocked. The rest of the courtiers were either immediately opposed, while others echoed it. But everyone's focus was on Yang Zhi without exception. If she nodded and agreed with Liu Ling's point of view, it means that the imperial court has made a final conclusion on the behavior of the vassal king, it is a rebellion rather than a military admonition, once it is confirmed, it is a rebellion, since ancient times, it is impossible for the ruler to negotiate with the rebels, except for suppression and sending troops to exterminate, the court has no second way to choose.
Sure enough, Yang Zhi also realized the seriousness of this sentence, and hesitated for a long time.
"Who is the vassal king most afraid of? Of course, he was most afraid of the Marquis of Linjin, when the Marquis of Linjin was in the court, he was as strong as King Zhao and others, and the vassal kings of all walks of life had no choice but to obey the orders of the court. Therefore, the first order of the minister to ask the queen mother was to announce that the Marquis of Linjin would raise troops and serve the king, as long as the Marquis of Linjin came out, the vassal kings outside the city would not dare to act rashly. Naturally, he will obediently return to the negotiation table with the imperial court. Liu Ling said as if no one was around, completely ignoring the faces of others.
"Lord Liu is really a clever plan to calm the world, but don't forget, now the vassal king Chen has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he is staring at us outside Luoyang City, not waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Linjin to arrive, I am afraid that they have already attacked the capital." The person who spoke was Wang Yuandao, the representative of the Wang family of the clan, who was the second person in the Wang family after Wang Xiang, and Wang Xiang easily did not participate in the government affairs, so many officials of the Wang family in the court actually looked down on him.
"Lord Wang is reasonable, so the lower officials still have an invitation." Liu Ling seemed to be confident, glanced at Wang Yuandao, and continued to say to Yang Zhi: "The second order that Weichen asked the Queen Mother to give is to take down Zhang Maoxian and General Pei together, send them to the vassal army, and listen to their fate. ”
Zhang Hua heard Liu Ling's words and turned around, and pulled it on his head, and he wanted to take himself and Pei Zan down to ask for the guilt, and he couldn't help but change color in a good temper, he looked at Liu Ling and said: "Lord Liu was still saying that the vassal king was making trouble just now, how did it change in a blink of an eye, if the court did this, wouldn't it bow to the chaos in public?" ”
Liu Ling said coldly: "No, no, this is not a bow, but a plan to delay the army, Lord Zhang is using his own safety in exchange for important time, seeing Lord Zhang, do you think the name of the vassal king Qingjun can still stand?" If they still attack Kyoto, won't they openly declare to the rest of the world that they are rebelling? Therefore, for the sake of the court and the livelihood of the world, Lord Zhang's move will definitely leave a name in history. This big hat was buttoned to Zhang Hua, which undoubtedly sealed all his retreats, and he couldn't even find a reason to debate. Because the meaning of Liu Ling's words is not to talk to you about whether Zhang Hua and Pei Zan are guilty at all, but to use them to do two things, one is to test the bottom line of the vassal king, whether he dares to rebel openly. The second is to buy time for Yang Ke, if the vassal king hesitates, he will give Yang Ke the opportunity to lead the army. I have to admit that Liu Ling's hand is really ruthless, Zhang Hua had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly realized a problem, it turned out that the idea of the sacrificial ceremony was Liu Ling's idea, could it be that Liu Ling had already laid this foreshadowing at that time, was his intention to create this chaos, and when the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven were helpless, wouldn't Yang Ke's appearance be logical? If this is really the case, does Yang Ke know about it in advance? If he knew, wouldn't his son-in-law dig a big pit and let his father-in-law jump? At this moment, Zhang Hua's mind became a mess.
Wang Yuandao sneered and said: "According to Lord Liu's meaning, the imperial court is both soft and the one hand, it is hard to make the Marquis of Linjin Qinwang." On the one hand, let the imperial court hand over Lord Zhang and General Pei, which is soft. But do you think that even if the imperial court hands over the two adults, the vassal king will really stand still? ”
As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty immediately fell silent, and all eyes stared at Liu Ling together. Wang Yuandao is really old and spicy, and he deserves to be one of the core figures in the clan, and his implication is actually to put Liu Ling in a dilemma. Fools know that Zhang Hua's behind-the-scenes supporter is the Queen Mother, and one of the spearheads targeted by the vassal king must be Yang Zhi. Just throwing out two scapegoats and pawns, of course, the vassal king will not give up. And proposing to let the Queen Mother hand over the power, it depends on whether Liu Ling has the courage. He actually wanted Liu Ling to retreat and give up on his own initiative.
What I didn't expect was that Liu Ling also sneered, ignored Wang Yuandao, and solemnly knelt down to Yang Zhi and bowed: "The third will of Weichen to ask the Queen Mother is to return to the Son of Heaven, for the country, and for the people to be free from swords. ”
Yang Zhi's face changed several times in an instant, Liu Ling's words were like a heart-wrenching word, yes, Zhang Hua and Pei Zan were handed over, and he was also returned to the Son of Heaven, what kind of monarch did you pay off the vassal king? If you still want to raise an army, then everyone in the world will know that you are nakedly rebelling, and the purpose is to clear the monarch.
Liu Ling didn't care about Yang Zhi's face, and continued: "The last order of Weichen to ask the Queen Mother is to immediately close the city gate, no one is allowed to leave the city, and Wen Hou will lead all the forbidden troops in Kyoto, and immediately go to the city wall to defend it, so as to be complete. The minister said everything, please make a quick decision to the queen mother, and there must be no delay. ”
With a "snap", everyone saw Yang Zhiliu's eyebrows upside down, phoenix eyes wide open, staring at Liu Ling with anger on her face, and slapping her palm on the throne. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they all stared at Liu Ling, who looked calm and uneasy, and didn't know what decision Yang Zhi would make when she got married.
