Chapter 159: An Shice's chess game
As Jiang Zi'an said, everything is thanks to An Shice's good strategy.
Su Buying gently stroked the black silk in her ears, with a faint smile on her pretty face, raised a pair of beautiful eyes to look at Jiang Zi'an on the high seat, smiled charmingly, and said, "Hehe, my father-in-law just created an opportunity for a few people to know each other, and the so-called strategy is just to push the boat down the river." β
Pushing the boat down the river, pushing the heart full of **, pushing the people who are consumed by the desire for profit. An Shice is like a chess player, he sits outside the chess game, pushing the "chess pieces" driven by ** in the chessboard. In the chess game of An Shice, there are mainly three chess pieces in his hand.
One of them is Jiang Zi'an, the Dazai of Jiang Guo, Jiang Zi'an is nominally the younger brother of King Jiang, but the real situation is not the case, in fact, Jiang Zi'an is the eldest son of the previous generation of Jiang Guo, and the current Jiang Wang is the second son and Jiang Zi'an's younger brother, however, providence makes people, when Jiang Zi'an was born, his feet were disabled and he was born deformed. Because the Great Zhou Dynasty and the vassal states, inheriting the throne and officials, followed the primogeniture inheritance system, that is, the eldest son has the priority to inherit the throne.
So the first king secretly concealed Jiang Zi'an's birth, and ordered the palace historian to revise his date of birth, so that the current King Jiang became the eldest son, but Jiang Zi'an became the second son, according to the principle of primogeniture, Jiang Zi'an naturally lost the qualification to inherit the throne. Over the years, although Jiang Zi'an has never complained on the surface, he has always had a grudge in his heart, like a thorn deep in his heart, every time he walks into the palace hall and looks up at the throne, this thorn will ache faintly. At the beginning, this was just a small pain, and Jiang Zi Anxin would only complain about God's injustice to him, but as time went on, this complaint accumulated over time, and the pain in his heart became deeper, especially after Jiang Zi'an became Dazai, he tasted the sweetness of power for the first time, and the sweetness of power was too tempting to make him want to stop, and when the ** in his heart could not be satisfied by reality, Jiang Zi'an began to yearn for higher power, and his eyes looked at the throne.
"That should have belonged to me, I am the eldest son of the first king, and I should be the king of Jiang Kingdom...... It's the injustice of the heavens, it's the partiality of the king, why am I a cripple? No, can't I inherit the throne because I'm a cripple? What kind of bullshit is this, no, I don't agree with this truth. Since God treats me unfairly, then I will no longer follow any heavenly principles and rebel, no, I just want to regain the throne that belongs to me......"
It was at this moment that Jiang Zi'an had the heart of rebellion, and the sky was unfair, so I would turn against him. However, Jiang Zi'an has the intention of rebellion, but because he has no strength, the ministers of the palace, especially Xiangguo Yan Hao and the general Liu Chen, have always been loyal to King Jiang, Liu Chen has 30,000 red horse troops in his hands, and Jiang Zi'an only has 10,000 city guards in his hands, which is not enough to rebel at all.
An Shice's second chess piece is the Liang State, in recent years, the Liang State has been expanding its national strength, ambitious, now the Great Zhou Dynasty is declining, the Liang State is not willing to be only one side of the princes, his ambition is the entire eastern territory, for this reason, the Liang State has been strengthening the preparation for war, constantly enhancing the strength of the army, and has become one of the three major countries in the East. Later, Rongguo bowed to Liang Guo, and after Rongguo's report, Liang Guo learned that there was a large amount of armor iron ore buried on the border of Jiang, and the least thing to expand the army was weapons, and the iron tools made of armor iron were the strongest weapons in the mainland, and they have been praised by all countries. Upon learning of this news, how could Liang Guo let go of such a "treasure trove of weapons", King Liang immediately repaired the book to Jiang Guo, coerced King Jiang, and wanted to ask for armor iron ore, but King Jiang categorically refused. King Liang was furious, and wanted to send troops to Jiang Guo and forcibly seize the armor iron ore, but Jiang Guo was far away in the easternmost part of the mainland, thousands of miles away from Liang State, and there were more than ten countries in the middle.
Jiang Zi'an wanted to rebel and seize the throne, but Jiang did not have the strength to support him in China, and Liang wanted to ask for Jiang Guo's armor ore, but King Jiang rejected him, and Liang naturally hated this Jiang King. There seems to be no communication between the two parties, but they have their own ideas in their hearts, and they can take what they need from each other, An Shice noticed this, so he "pushed the boat down the river", made a bridge middleman, and secretly introduced Jiang Zi'an to King Liang, after An Shice's planning, King Liang quickly reached an agreement with Jiang Zi'an, Liang supported Jiang Zi'an to seize the Jiang throne, and Jiang Zi'an promised that after ascending the throne, he would cede the armor iron ore to Liang State.
In order to achieve this goal, An Shice suggested to King Liang that by settling the border dispute between Jiang Rong and Jiang Rong, he would hold an excellent selection examination between Jiang Rong and Jiang Rong, and then use the examination to lead King Jiang to the Mountain of No Return, when Jiang Zi'an could take the opportunity to raise troops to seize the throne and get rid of King Jiang in the Mountain of No Return.
But there is one of the biggest obstacles in An Shice's strategy, and that is Liu Chen, the general of Jiang Guo. Liu Chen will definitely follow King Jiang to the Mountain of No Return, and Liu Chen still has the Red Horse Army in his hands. As long as Liu Chen and the Red Horse Army are guarding King Jiang's side, Jiang Zi'an will definitely fail if he rebels, so before that, get rid of Liu Chen.
So, there is a third chess piece, Wang Shi. Wang Shi was born in a commoner, his heart has always been eager to become a nobleman, after Jiang Guo Xiuwu Academy created the Xia Cai Academy, made an exception to allow civilians to enter the academy to practice, Wang Shi was fortunate to be the first batch of civilians to enter the academy, he was full of longing and hope to enter the Xia Cai Academy, thinking that this was an opportunity to change his fate and step into the wealth, however, seven years have passed, the dream has become a fantasy, seven years, he has suffered from the eyes and difficulties of the noble students, even though he has practiced hard, but has not broken through, has always been inferior to the noble students, three consecutive years of excellent selection exams, he has failedγ If you can't enter the excellent school, you can't become a nobleman, and after graduating from the academy, even if you enter the army, you are just a pawn. Becoming a nobleman has become an unattainable dream, Wang Shi gradually despaired, but just over half a month ago, Jiang Zi'an found him, and Wang Shi's fate ushered in a turning point again.
Of course, the reason why Jiang Zi'an found Wang Shi was all An Shice's idea. Wang Shi and Yang Ming are also commoners, and their common identity will make it easier for them to get acquainted with each other, and Wang Shi and Lin Dong are good friends, and there is no more suitable person to be sent as a person close to Yang Ming than Wang Shi, and approaching Yang Ming is only the first step, the most important thing is to know the county lord Jiang Xin'er through Yang Ming. In order to promote all this, An Shice specially designed the topic of the competition, requiring five people to form a team to participate in the exam, everything is within An Shice's plan, Yang Ming and Lin Dong Xin'er County Lord are a team, through Lin Dong's introduction, Wang Shi successfully joined their team. After seven days in the Mountain of No Return, they fought together and fought side by side, and Wang Shi soon gained the trust of Yang Ming and Xin'er County Lord.
So, there was a conspiracy to frame tonight, Wang Shi attacked General Liu Chen late at night, leading him to be fooled, and then Wang Shi deliberately fled to the forest outside the camp, found Yang Ming and Xin'er, and told them that Liu Chen colluded with the Rongguo people and intended to rebel. Of course, the encounter between Wang Shi and Yang Mingxin'er was also calculated by An Shice. Sure enough, Xin'er believed Wang Shi's words and took Wang Shi to meet King Jiang.
King Jiang has always loved the county lord, and at the same time, he also trusts her very much, so the people brought by the county lord of Xin'er said that Liu Chen rebelled, and King Jiang naturally paid a lot of attention to it, plus Jiang Zi'an lobbied to testify that Liu Chen rebelled. In this way, the two people that King Jiang trusted the most, the county lord of Xin'er and Dazai Jiang Zi'an, testified against Liu Chen's rebellion, and King Jiang finally believed it.
At this point, Liu Chen was captured and imprisoned, and at the same time was deprived of military power, and the talisman of the Red Horse Army fell into the hands of Jiang Zi'an, Jiang Zi'an already had an absolute advantage, just wait for tomorrow 5,000 city guards to reach the Mountain of No Return, Jiang Zi'an can raise troops to seize the position. These 5,000 soldiers were Jiang Zi'an's own soldiers who had worked hard to cultivate, and they were used for rebellion. 17 .17s
Three chess pieces, Jiang Zi'an, Liang Guo, Wang Shi, this is the "chess game" of An Shice's boat.
Jiang Zi'an touched his face and said to Su Buying, "Please tell Miss Buying on my behalf, after I take the throne, I will definitely thank Mr. An Shice again, and I am willing to give 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 pieces of silk." β
Su Buying smiled and replied lightly, "I thanked Lord Dazai on behalf of my father-in-law, but my father-in-law has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, so there is no need for gold and satin." β
"Then, whatever Mr. An Shice wants, as long as Jiang Guo has it, I will definitely give it. β
Su Buying gently raised the corners of her charming eyes, with a slight inexplicable meaning in her flowing beautiful eyes, looked at Jiang Zi'an, and then said slowly, "After Lord Dazai successfully ascends to the throne, my father-in-law does have something to ask you to help with." β
"Oh, what is it?" Hearing this, Jiang Zi'an immediately asked.
However, Su Buying covered her mouth and chuckled, and only said, "Hehe, it's too early to say now, and you'll naturally know later." β
"Well, since Miss Buying doesn't say it, then I won't ask anymore. The doubts in his heart turned, Jiang Zi'an had to give up for the time being, no longer asking, the most important thing at the moment is tomorrow's seizure of the throne, and the rest will be taken care of after ascending the throne.
At this time, Cheng Yu, the envoy of the Liang State, drank the last sip of tea, stood up, and arched his hand to Jiang Zi'an and said, "Since Dazai-sama has already arranged everything, then I will wait for your good news tomorrow." β
Following Cheng Yu, Huang Zheng also got up to say goodbye.
Jiang Zi'an immediately got up to send him off, and then said to Huang Zheng, "By the way, Lord Huang Zheng, the head named Li Qingshan belongs to your country?"
"This ......" Huang Zheng hesitated for a moment, but had to reply truthfully, "It is indeed my person who honors the country." β
Because the secret dispatch of the killer was Huang Zheng's decision, he did not inform Jiang Zi'an, and even Cheng Yu concealed it.
Jiang Zi'an's face was slightly solemn, and he said coldly, "It's useless for me to keep this head, so I'll give you back Huang Zheng." However, secretly sending killers to slaughter my Jiang Guo students is really despicable, only this time, I don't want there to be a next time. β
Huang Zheng laughed dryly and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, this matter is indeed too much for me, and I promise you that there will never be a next time." β
Jiang Zi'an's face did not move, and he didn't want to worry about it anymore.
