Chapter 136: Shen Tu Xiu's Worries
In the mansion of the second prince of Xindu, footsteps sounded, and Shen Tuxiu walked towards the mansion with a solemn face. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info guards guarding the door did not dare to go out, so they could only salute respectfully.
Shen Tuxiu ignored it and hurried inside while it was night. After a while, I walked outside a room and saw that the lights were bright, and two figures were shaking. Immediately understood who was in the house.
They were pushed away, and voices interrupted the conversation of the people in the room. Shen Tu Xiu looked at the two people in the room and bowed: "Second son, Zhang Gao, Shen Tu Xiu is polite."
"As soon as the dynasty came down, the commander of Shentu hurriedly came to find the second son, what the hell was going on." Without waiting for Zhao Wei to speak, Zhang Gao asked instead.
Shen Tuxiu squeezed out a smile at Zhang Gao, and asked him rhetorically: "As soon as the dynasty ended, why did Gonggong Zhang rush to find the second prince when he was not busy dressing the king?"
"I'm not like some people who see someone they shouldn't see. It's like a mouse that sees a cat and scurries around in fright." Zhang Gao glanced at Shen Tuxiu, insinuating sarcasm.
Shen Tuxiu's smile instantly turned into a sneer, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely: "Zhang Gao, don't think that Ben will not dare to touch you."
"Shentu is so powerful, but unfortunately I'm not scared." Zhang Gao immediately confronted Shen Tuxiu, and Zhao Wei watched from the sidelines, showing a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and seemed to be a little happy about the mutual exchange between them.
Shen Tuxiu was already full of anger today, and when he saw Zhang Gao and his hard top, his anger instantly skyrocketed: "The king's body is becoming more and more depressed, once the king dies, the prince will ascend the throne." Without the protection of the king, it is the death of your Zhang Gao."
"There is Commander Lao Shentu who cares, but I don't know if Commander Shentu cares about yourself while caring about others." Zhang Gao retorted unceremoniously.
Seeing that the two of them were getting worse and worse, thinking of the current situation, Zhao Yan's brows gradually rose: "We are all people in the same boat, and we must not fight each other at this time."
"Looking at the face of the second son, I won't worry about you for the time being." Zhang Gao bowed to Zhao Xuan, and then looked at Shen Tuxiu.
Shen Tuxiu was furious, but when he saw Zhao Yan's gaze, he could only wave his sleeves fiercely: "Zhang Gao, you wait for the general......."
"No matter how you fight, but from now on. Until the death of his father and the seizure of the throne by his son. You must not fight each other, otherwise don't blame this son for turning his face and being ruthless." Zhao Yan warned the two of them for a while, and the threat was self-evident.
Shen Tuxiu calmed the anger in his chest and saluted Zhao Xuan: "The words of the prince will be remembered at the end."
"With the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that this son will seize the position of crown prince. However, today I found out that Zhao Wuming had returned, and I am afraid that there will be twists and turns. If this person doesn't solve it, it's really difficult." Zhao Wei's brows gradually rose, if there was no Wei Guoqi attack on Handan, why should he care about Zhao Wuming, a dispensable person.
Zhang Gao thought about the changes that Zhao Wuming's return would bring to the situation, and couldn't help but sigh: "Last year, Wei State raided Handan, and the fourth prince Zhao Wuming gathered the defeated army, defeated Wei Ang and blocked Pang Juan, and shocked the world in a battle. The defenders of Handan were grateful for Zhao Wuming's life, the soldiers of the forbidden army were in awe, and the noble private soldiers had a good impression of him. At this time, the fourth prince replied to the capital, and he would definitely support the prince, so that he was afraid that the 150,000 Handan defenders would fall to them."
"Even if my fourth brother doesn't reply to the letter, and the 150,000 Handan defenders fall to the prince, my son will not be surprised. After all, when my fourth brother left, he got the refuge of Gao Zhao, a villain, and at the same time left Fan Shun to assist Gao Zhao in forming the Hanmen forces and coordinating the Handan defenders. In addition to Xue Qian's friendship with the prince, it is only a matter of time before the 150,000 Handan defenders surrender to the prince." Zhao Yan analyzed the two of them for a while, and the worried look on his face gradually thickened.
Zhang Gao listened and pondered, and after Zhao Wei finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask him: "Since the 150,000 Handan defenders are destined to take refuge, the four sons should all reply to ......."
"Not right". Zhang Gao suddenly reacted halfway through his words, thinking of the fear in Zhao Chong's eyes, as if he had thought of something: "Are you afraid that the fourth prince will persuade the soldiers of the royal family to support the crown prince."
"Soldiers of the royal family? Are you referring to the legacy that An Yangjun left for him Zhao Wuming? “。 Zhao Yan suddenly laughed and shook his head slightly: "Father is confused, are you also confused?" An Yangjun who has been dead for more than ten years, and An Yangjun who has no children and no daughters. Are you still afraid of him at this time? Why did my father let my fourth brother live a miserable life outside Handan for ten years? It's not to cut off his connection with the princes. He has never appeared in the court in ten years, even if he has a great reputation in the last war? In the past ten years, things have long been wrong, and those people only have some respect for him at most, if they let them obey him Zhao Wuming, do you think it is possible? “。
"I have never been able to figure it out, that day the king returned from the Yan Kingdom. Why didn't he kill the fourth prince outside Handan City, and why did so many civil and military officials intercede for him". Zhang Gao thought of the scene of that day and asked Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan looked at Zhang Gao and smiled, Zhang Gao only felt a chill in his heart: "Do you know how the eunuch Ling died ten years ago."
"It's ......". Zhang Gao hesitated, thinking for a long time but had no clue.
Shen Tu Xiu glanced at Zhang Gao, and then sneered: "The previous eunuch ordered Zhao Wuming's mother's cronies, and the king killed him with his own hands."
"It's not rumored that the fourth son's mother is an ordinary palace maid." Zhang Gao couldn't react a little, and his eyes were full of doubts.
Shen Tuxiu looked at Zhang Gao, his eyes were full of disgust, but at this time, after all, he was on a boat, so he had to explain patiently: "You didn't enter the palace ten years ago, so you didn't know about it, which is a good thing for you." An Yangjun is a collateral descendant of my country's clan, and before he was born, the power of my Zhao clan was actually not big. It is rumored that when the first king was on the throne, my Zhao Kingdom was once in turmoil. The Lou Fu and Lin Hu clans are powerful. Anyang Jun was born, and the children of the Gong clan served his life under his command and formed an army to rush to the national disaster. Anyangjun fought in the north for ten years, and the strength of the Lou Fu and Lin Hu tribes was greatly injured, and since then they have been unable to attack the hinterland of our country. If it weren't for the sudden return of Zhongshan King Ji Heng, the army of the princes formed by An Yangjun might have already wiped out Lou Fu and Lin Hu. But even so, the heroic and strategic monarch of the country, Zhongshan King Ji Heng did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool when Anyang Jun was alive. Countless sons and daughters of the Gong clan have made great achievements in war, and they have been crowned as feudal kings in various places, and the Gong clan has today's grand occasion. Once the king orders the killing of Zhao Wuming, it will be understood by the world that the king wants to destroy the Anyang lineage, and then those children of the princes who were under Anyang Jun in the past will be panicked, and it is only a matter of time before they rebel."
"But the fourth prince is not the son of Anyang Jun, he is just fostered by the king in Anyang Jun." Zhang Gao still couldn't turn a corner, and asked Shen Tuxiu.
Shen Tuxiu's lips moved, and he looked at Zhang Gao with the eyes of a dead man: "This is where you are lucky, if you know, I am afraid that I will have been wiped out by the king."
"Then you know this matter, why the three clans were not exterminated by the king." Zhang Gao was uncomfortable when Shen Tuxiu looked at him, and couldn't help but ask.
Shen Tuxiu seemed to be caught in his memory, looked at Zhang Gao for a while, and spit out a few words almost word by word: "Because this will be the knife in the hands of the king at the beginning." Without me, it's hard for the king to do something."
"Zhang Gao, at this time, in order to avoid extraneous branches, you still don't want to know." Zhao Yan interrupted the conversation between the two and admonished Zhang Gao for a while.
Zhang Gao was stunned for a moment and reacted instantly, and when he asked, it didn't actually help the current situation: "Since Gongzi is not worried about the soldiers of the Gong family, why are you frowning."
"Shen Tuxiu, tell him, what is Ben Gongzi worried about." Zhao Yan thought about something and didn't want to say too much.
Shen Tuxiu nodded slightly, and said two words to Zhang Gao: "Forbidden Army."
"Didn't the soldiers of the forbidden army hate the fourth son, why did they get involved with the forbidden army again." Zhang Gao felt that his head was a little insufficient.
Shen Tuxiu explained to him: "It is the generals who hate the fourth prince, and as for the soldiers below, I am afraid that they are still a little grateful to Zhao Wuming." After all, last year, he would have attacked Pang Juan's camp on his own initiative, and it was Zhao Wuming who ordered the crown prince and Sun Buer and others to come to the rescue, so he survived."
"Those soldiers can only obey orders, and what can they do, as long as the generals hate the fourth prince to death, it is enough." Zhang Gao didn't think so, and couldn't understand why they looked like they were facing a great enemy.
Shen Tuxiu thought about it slightly, and felt still a little uneasy: "Looking at last year's war, the fourth prince was not a person who did nothing. The soldiers of the forbidden army have a good impression of him again, and they will be worried that something will happen to the soldiers of the forbidden army after a long time."
"Accidents, why aren't my sons worried about this." Zhao Yan thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't get the point.
Shen Tuxiu turned his heart sideways, and his eyes showed murderous intent: "Only the dead can make the general feel at ease, and for today's plan, the general suggested killing the fourth son."
"No, once the fourth brother is stabbed to death, even if the father is happy in his heart, he will be forced to find the real culprit. If this matter is known to those princes, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhao Wei was suddenly startled and hurriedly persuaded him.
Shen Tuxiu's expression flickered, and he looked at Zhao Xun for a while: "Since the second son is the opposite, then he will not do it." It's just that the fourth prince is a roadblock after all, and I ask the son to tell me, how will we get rid of this tiger? “。
"Looking at the body of my father, I am not in a hurry at this moment. It's better to disperse today, and we'll discuss it in a few days." Zhao Yan thought about it, and could only postpone this matter.
Shen Tuxiu and Zhang Gao glanced at each other, and then the two seemed to react, snorted coldly at each other, saluted Zhao Wei, and turned around and walked out.
Outside the second son's mansion, it was pitch black. Some generals of the forbidden army had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Shen Tuxiu coming out, they hurriedly asked: "Commander, how are you talking?"
"Ben General suggested killing the fourth prince to prevent future troubles, but he was refused." When Shen Tuxiu said the word rejection, he sighed.
The general pondered, looked around and saw that there was no one, and then looked at Shen Tuxiu: "Is it just like this, commander, and have been waiting in fear."
"Wait? Why wait". Shen Tuxiu's expression changed rapidly.
The general was stunned for a moment, and replied without thinking: "It's not that the killing of the fourth prince was refused, so what else can I do but wait."
"Their refusal is their business, and we don't recognize it." When Shen Tuxiu said this, he lowered his voice and ordered the general: "After you go back, you will immediately dispatch people to secretly inquire about the news of the fourth prince, and inform General Yu at any time."
"Yes". The general whispered his order, and his heart was full of murderous intent.
Shen Tuxiu nodded with satisfaction, and slowly walked towards the night with the generals and several cronies of the forbidden army.
