Xia Jinyi begged again and again, and explained the matter clearly to his senior brother, Zhang Jinxiong calmed down and said: "Okay, it seems that you have to settle Guanzhonglian first, but although I am the prince's head of guard, I can't even settle Guanzhonglian, unless the prince comes forward, but how can I let the prince take care of this trivial matter?" ‘

Xia Jinyi looked at his senior brother with blank eyes, Zhang Jinxiong looked at him, angry and angry, and finally sighed and said: "You are originally a talent, but you can't be outstanding, and you won't be too much worse than others, just for a woman, you give up on yourself, alas." Xia Jinyi's expression became more and more pale, and he sat in the corner of the room without making a sound, looking blank.

At this time, a guard suddenly said: "Chief, don't worry, Brother Xia said just now, we might as well investigate the matter carefully, if there is really a problem, let's tell the prince, if Brother Xia has made such a great achievement, the manager will ask His Royal Highness the prince for a favor, this matter is easy to solve, the Yongwang Mansion is actually not a big problem, as long as Brother Xia reconciles with Guan Zhonglian, is it possible that they will still be nosy?" When the time comes, Brother Xia will go and ask for a crime again. ‘

Zhang Jinxiong's expression moved, and he said, "I almost forgot, okay, Jin Yi, let's see if you have this luck." ‘

Xia Jinyi said with a blank expression: "What's the matter, senior brother, what credit has the junior brother made?" ‘

Zhang Jinxiong smiled: "Let's go, it's a long story, and you'll understand when the time comes." ‘

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's control over Chang'an and outside is still very strong, but in one night, Li An got detailed information in front of him, looking at his henchman and think tank, Young Fu Lu Jingzhong, Li An asked: "Lord Lu, how do you think Gu should deal with this matter." ‘

Lu Jingzhong twisted his beard and said slowly: "Your Highness, the situation is very clear, the Splendid Alliance is the remnant of Shu, in the past, their scope of activities was mainly in Shuzhong and Southern Chu, so our Dayong also turned a blind eye to their affairs, and now the situation in Southern Chu is chaotic, they took the opportunity to accelerate their activities in Dayong, according to their subordinates, they actually can't become a big climate, they only know assassination, persecution of the poor, and human trafficking, originally, the prince doesn't have to rush to deal with them, Maybe they can still be used, after all, it was King Yong who destroyed the Shu Kingdom, but since they are not satisfied with tossing in Nanchu now, then sooner or later they will be in trouble in Dayong, according to the minister's will, it will be the New Year's Day sacrifice soon, the prince is not trying to sacrifice the temple for the emperor, the emperor has not decided yet, it is better for the prince to arrange it, kill them all, and then ask the emperor for credit, and then let Ji Guifei say a few more good words in the emperor's ear, then the prince's wish will definitely be realized. ‘

Li An was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "The young master is really Lone's think tank, this matter must be done neatly, and he can't let King Yong know that he has taken advantage of it, if Lone can sue for his father to sacrifice to the Taimiao, then who would dare to say that Lone's storage position is unstable." ‘

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "Then the minister will congratulate His Highness first." ‘

Li An laughed and said: "Li Zhen, Li Zhen, you have leveled Nanchu, what about the Marshal of Tiance, as long as you sit firmly in the storage position, you are just a courtier after all." In the end, Ang Lee was already gritting his teeth.

Lu Jingzhong looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was out of shape, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Under Lu Jingzhong's careful arrangement, three days later, the rudder of the Splendid Alliance in Chang'an was swept away, and almost all the personnel were captured, and some lower-level officials were implicated, which was a successful encirclement and suppression. After interrogation, it was learned that in order to further benefit from the chaotic Southern Chu and achieve the goal of recovering the country, the Splendid League had no plan to deal with Dayong in the short term, but Lu Jingzhong instructed him to torture him to extract a confession, and soon got the confession that the Splendid League wanted to launch on the occasion of the New Year, and plotted to assassinate the children of the Dayong royal family and the important ministers of the civil and military forces, of course, in order to achieve the goal, Lu Jingzhong carefully prepared a detailed assassination plan for the Splendid League. Added some bloody brilliance to the grand occasion before the New Year, regardless of the reaction of the various forces, I took the opportunity to let Han Wuji, the old acquaintance who had threatened him, and another envoy sent by the General Alliance of the Splendid Alliance, as far as I know, this messenger is the confidant of Huo Jicheng, the leader of the Splendid Alliance, through him, I can get in touch with the Splendid Alliance, according to the information I have gathered, Huo Jicheng was originally the son of an important minister of the Shu State, his surname is ruthless and resourceful, but the surname is a little arrogant, narrow-minded, and lacks military strategic talent, Otherwise, the Splendid Alliance would not be thriving in Dayong, but it would be difficult in Nanchu. Originally, I didn't want to ask about the affairs of the Splendid Alliance, but Roulan is already my daughter, and I don't want her to take revenge desperately in the future, so I'll come.

Receiving the prince's seal, Li Yuan was very happy, although he insisted on setting up his eldest son as the prince, but Li An's mediocrity still made him a little dissatisfied, this time Li An acted quickly and decisively, eradicating a tumor, Li Yuan put down the seal, and said to Prime Minister Wei Guan: "Wei Aiqing, it seems that the prince is still talented, but there is no opportunity to show before." ‘

Wei Guan bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. ‘

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Aiqing, there are many courtiers who have asked for the prince to follow me to worship the Taimiao this time, what does Qing think?" ‘

Wei Guan Zhengrong said: "The crown prince has been the prince for many years, inheriting the mandate of heaven, and is related to the worship of the Sheji sect, so he should sacrifice heaven and earth with the Son of Heaven, and the will of the minister should also be the same. ‘

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Qing's opinion is very pertinent, so let's let the prince go to the Taimiao Temple to pay tribute to me this time, and then accept the worship of hundreds of officials in the Wenhua Palace, which will prepare a decree for me." ‘

After Li Zhen, the king of Yong, learned of this will, his face sank like water, and he walked straight to the cold garden on the west side of the palace, Jiang Zhe thought that Qi Fengxuan was too gorgeous, and took a turn around the palace outside the palace, picked the most remote garden, took care of it and lived in it, approaching the garden, Li Zhen saw the guards hidden in the shadows, nodded with satisfaction, and he specially ordered to strengthen the guards here. Walking into the garden gate, Li Zhen saw that the original barren grass was separated and the flowers and trees in the garden had been sorted out quite elegantly, and nodded with satisfaction. This garden was originally also a guest house, but because of the remote location, no one paid attention to it except for the two or three servants and maids who took care of the garden and the guards who guarded the night, so gradually the garden was abandoned, this time Jiang Zhe turned around, after seeing this, Mr. Chang was originally very ashamed, and he had to take care of the servants here, but he was persuaded by Jiang Zhe to stop it, Jiang Zhe liked the cleanliness here, so he stayed. His surname is Zi Heshun, and as long as there are not too many people walking back and forth, he is very satisfied. Li Zhen was very careful, and deliberately asked the manager to ask Li Shun Jiang Zhe's preferences, so that Jiang Zhe could live comfortably. Therefore, although Li Zhen was anxious, he still smiled slightly when he saw the elegant environment and well-trained servants.

Walking into Jiang Zhe's living place, Li Zhen saw Jiang Zhe watching the chess game in front of the chess table, Jiang Zhe's surname is idle, this quite spacious living room is the pattern of the front hall and the back bedroom, with a screen in the middle, you can vaguely see the elegant bed and tent behind, the small hall in front is not too big, but the chess table, the piano table, the soft couch, the bookshelf, and the bookcase are all complete, very comfortable and elegant, with a strong bookish atmosphere.

Seeing Li Zhen come in, Xiao Shunzi, who was playing against me, stood up and bowed, but I was racking my brains there thinking about how to move next, alas, I taught him to play chess at the beginning, but now I am playing chess with him is more than losing and winning less. At this time, I heard Xiao Shunzi say, 'Childe, Your Highness has come down. ‘

I raised my head and saw Li Zhen's sad face, and said in surprise: 'Your Highness, what happened? ‘

Li Zhen sat opposite me and said bitterly: "Father and the emperor issued an edict to let the prince sue for him to worship the Taimiao this year, so that the prince's throne will be stable, sir, what do you say this king should do, alas, sir, the power of the Splendid Alliance in Chang'an has been eradicated by the prince, if we act earlier." ‘

I smiled and said: 'Your Highness has forgotten, didn't we originally want to show weakness, now the prince's position is stable, just let him be proud, want to take it, first with it, isn't this just right, Your Highness don't have to worry, after the New Year, I will send Mr. Shi to protect the prince to Youzhou, so that the emperor and others will think that His Royal Highness is planning for the future, so that the prince will let go and persecute His Highness, and the emperor will remember His Highness's merits, and begin to protect His Highness, so that His Royal Highness is safe, and the prince's endurance will decline, even had a grudge against the emperor. ‘

Li Zhen is also a smart person, and immediately understood, and said: "It turns out that these are already in the hands of Mr., but this king is too anxious, Sir, has the person you said have been arranged?" ‘

I said lightly, 'Your Highness, please remember, we have never arranged anyone?' His Royal Highness is a minister, and the prince is a king, how can a courtier place a secret agent next to the prince? ‘

Li Zhen smiled knowingly, and said: "Sir, my father will definitely feast on the ministers in the New Year, Mr. is already the Sima of the Tiance Shuai Mansion, a four-grade official, and he can already meet the king, and the father has mentioned that he wants to meet you, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ‘

I wasn't interested at first, but I thought that it would be very useful for me to take the opportunity to meet the crown prince and the ministers, so I nodded and said, "The ministers also want to meet the civil and military heroes of the court." ‘

In the secret room of a private house in the city, two middle-aged people with gloomy faces sat and lay down, looking gloomy, and the middle-aged man who was sitting looked at the dim oil lamp, and suddenly said: "Boss Gong, is that friend of yours really reliable?" ‘

The middle-aged man lying down smiled and said: "Liu Tou'er, don't worry, the surname Han used to be a secret spy in the army, a murderous assassin, although I don't know how he made a fortune, but you see, without him to report the news, without this secret room, we would have entered Dayong's prison long ago." ‘

The middle-aged man who was sitting sighed and said, "Having said that, you see, we are in danger now, but he is a rich man, and I am always relieved that he is so enthusiastic." ‘

Boss Gong was about to refute, the door of the secret room opened, and a clear voice came: "Commander Liu, your suspicions are still not small, Han is now rich, if it is not for the fact that he is a subject of Shu State, who will take care of your affairs, do you know, if you know it to the lord, Han is surname is safe, but I am afraid that I will have to take off a layer of skin." ‘

Commander Liu hurriedly stood up and said, "It's the junior brother who lost his words, I'm sorry, I don't know which one Brother Han is?" ‘

Han Wuji smiled and said: "It's not a secret, Han is now the head of Tianji Pavilion, and our pavilion master has no other hobbies, just like gold and silver treasures, so no matter where it is, no matter who it is, as long as there is money to be made, there is our shadow." ‘

Commander Liu's eyes lit up and said: "It turned out to be Tianji Pavilion, who doesn't know the hidden power of Tianji Pavilion in Southern Chu, I am afraid that three or four out of ten of the big businessmen in Southern Chu are members of the Tianji Guild, I can't imagine that Brother Han has such a noble status in Tianji Pavilion, I really admire and admire." ‘

Han Wuji said lightly: "It's nothing, to tell the truth, there is a lot of fog in the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, although I am the general manager, in fact, I am just a person who comes forward to do things, the real power is not in my hands, no matter what matters are money, the younger brother can be a little bit of the master, in fact, the younger brother has the heart to do business with your alliance." ‘

Commander Liu's expression moved, and he said, "Brother Han, please speak, as long as it is beneficial to our Splendid Alliance, the junior brother will definitely try his best to promote it when he goes back." ‘

Han Wuji's expression was a little mysterious, and he said, "If your alliance wants to rebel, I'm afraid it's in urgent need of weapons and food, if the junior brother can help, what do you say?" ‘

Commander Liu was shocked and said: "What, you can really help, if this is the case, our alliance leader will definitely thank each other heavily, if we achieve great things, we will have the benefit of Brother Han in the future." ‘

Han Wuji smiled and said: "You also know, the power of our Tianji Pavilion in Southern Chu, recently those ministers of Southern Chu have set up the third son of the king Zhao Long as the lord of the country, and he will take the throne at the beginning of next year, and now Southern Chu is in ruins, and the Yong army has been ravaged for nearly half a year, and has plundered Jianye, to put it mildly, the treasury is going to be emptied, and the ordnance and materials are even more lossy, and they are unable to replenish, but after all, Nanchu is the land of fish and rice, and the grain output this year is still very good. However, there is a bit of drought in Dayong this year, so there is a shortage of food, if you have the courage to go through the way, steal and sell ordnance and horses from Dayong, and then go to Nanchu to exchange for grain and cotton cloth, and sell them back to Dayong, you can not only meet your own needs, but also make a lot of money. ‘

Commander Liu frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is not easy, now that we have just suffered losses in Dayong, I am afraid that we do not have this ability." ‘

Cambrian said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that the prince's actions are for King Yong, this transaction is ten times or twenty times the profit, as long as you send someone to the prince to lose your sincerity, you will say that you are willing to be loyal to the prince, and ask the prince to let you go, as long as the prince does not pursue it, who will keep an eye on you, now the household is the prince's world, and the logistics of the Dayong military can be said to be controlled by the prince, as long as the prince agrees, this business is very easy, and after a while, the prince will do his hands and feet in the household department, isn't it made up, When the time comes, millions of taels of snowflakes of silver will go into the prince's own pocket, and he will not be satisfied. ‘

Commander Liu frowned and said, "Dayong is all his, and he will still attach importance to this bit of silver." ‘

Han Wuji sneered and said: "Who doesn't know, now the prince is watching the emperor, and there is King Yong watching, don't look at his noble status, this enjoyment is probably not better than us businessmen, and besides, doesn't he want to raise some dead soldiers by himself, he has more places to use money, to tell the truth, in Nanchu, we have a way, but in Dayong, it depends on you, don't hide it from me, although some officials were implicated this time, but the prince did not make a ruthless move, and your real backers are safe and sound." ‘

Commander Liu nodded fiercely and said, "You wait, I'll go back and discuss with the alliance leader, although Liu's status is not high, but the alliance leader trusts me very much, but how can I find you." ‘

Han Wuji said: "I will give you the contact information, as long as our lord is rich, no matter what national affairs, whether you seek rebellion or restore the country, as long as it does not harm our interests, it is easy to say anything." ‘

Commander Liu said: "Brother Han, don't worry, we are not stupid people, who doesn't love gold and silver treasures, not to mention that this path is clear, and it will be of greater benefit to us." ‘

The two looked at each other and smiled, the laughter was suppressed and secretive.

In the cold garden of the Yongwang Mansion, I leaned on the soft couch, looking at the scroll in my hand, because I felt that the confidential study room of the palace was too restrained, so recently I only went there for half a day every day, and then planned in the cold garden, Xiao Shunzi saw that I was fascinated, and suddenly said: 'Childe, you let the Tianji Pavilion intervene, is this okay?' ‘

I heard his question, and said lightly: "No way, this matter will definitely have problems in the future, if King Yong's people do it, not to mention that they can't hide it from the prince's eyes and ears, and get into trouble, do you say that King Yong can allow the theft and sale of weapons and materials?" ‘

Xiao Shunzi said worriedly: "Gongzi arranged for Tianji Pavilion to contact the merchants of Southern Chu, and the Splendid Alliance to contact the prince of Dayong, and then smuggle food and ordnance, so that in the future, Tianji Pavilion will not be able to come forward." And I'm afraid that the relationship between Gongzi and Tianji Pavilion can't be hidden from King Yong, and the young master will not be implicated. ‘

I chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of, nominally, Tianji Pavilion will resell all the shares they hold before the accident, and I have already asked them to arrange for these shares to be received by the people of the secret camp respectively, and before the expiration of their contract with me, the income will still belong to me, and after the expiration of the period, these properties will be their own, so as to fulfill my promise to them at the beginning." Anyway, Tianji Pavilion was originally a tool to make money, and after this time, all my properties, deducting the part allocated to the disciples of the secret camp, can also have a net worth of one million, and Tianji Pavilion will no longer exist. ‘

Xiao Shunzi said with a smile: "It's still a clever son, but he is just smuggling food and ordnance, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide it from King Yong." ‘

I said lightly: 'When King Yong finds out, I will let him forbear, if we don't have this handle, why should we abolish the prince?' ‘

Sitting up, I pushed open the window, looked at the dark sky, and said coldly: "I, Jiang Zhe, use a plan, relying on the sinister hearts of the people, if the prince has no selfishness and is dedicated to the country, my plan will naturally not work, Xiao Shunzi, you remember, if a person is overturned, it is not that the water cannot carry it, but that his own mind is not right, if the prince is really virtuous, and has the bearing of the king of a country, my strategy is useless, if he loses the throne because of this, it is not that I am ruthless, but that he does not have the blessing and elegance of being the son of heaven." ‘
