Chapter 127: Solving the Xiliang Army's Dilemma
Wu Jin knew in his heart that Zhang Chongjun was nominally asking for everyone's opinions, but in fact he was asking him, which could be said to have placed too high hopes on him, or it could be said that he was testing him.
Now that he is the spiritual pillar of the entire Jin'an Association, if he is incompetent or weak, it will chill the people who support him, especially a high-ranking and powerful person like Zhang Chongjun, if he fails, it will be the consequence of his family and extermination of the nine clans, how can he not be cautious.
Wu Jin knew this very well, so he did not flinch at the critical moment, but stood up, which may make Huangfu Jiang feel uncomfortable, but what should be said must be said.
Zhang Chongjun also perked up, "Childe, please speak!" He looked at Wu Jin expectantly.
Wu Jin glanced at Huangfu Jiang first, and asked for his opinion first, Huang Fujiang understood, and nodded, "You just say it, I won't blame you." β
Wu Jin said slowly: "In fact, before I appeared, Huangfu Xuande basically revolved around Huangfu Zhuo, let Huangfu Zhuo replace Zhang Dashuai, and then force Huangfu Zhuo to hand over the power of the Xiliang Army by means of co-optation and suppression. Of course, he still has to drop one thing and one thing, and use the person Huang Fuzhuo is most afraid of to suppress him. β
Speaking of this, Wu Jin said to Huangfu Jiang again: "If the old prince is willing to go to Xiliang to inspect it, I really think that Huangfu Xuande's hard work for many years will be in vain." β
Wu Jin's suggestion did not make everyone applaud, on the contrary, everyone fell into deep thought, it was obvious that Wu Jin still had something to say, and this was exactly the most critical content.
At this time, Huangfu Jiang sighed, "Wu Jin, I know that you are afraid of breaking my heart and refuse to say deeply, but the restoration of Jin'an Jiangshan is my father's only will before his death, he said that if he does not see the descendants of Jin'an ascend the throne, he will not be blind to death, Wu Jin, you just say it!" I have long put aside the honor and disgrace of my family, including my son. β
Wujin nodded, "Then I'll say it directly, the reason why Huangfu Xuande has been making a fuss about Huangfu Zhuo is the inheritance of the Xiliang Army, Zhang Dashuai is the son-in-law after all, and he is indeed inferior to Huangfu Zhuo in terms of inheritance, I heard the old prince say that the main generals of the Xiliang Army are very knowledgeable about blood, so to break this situation, you need the old prince to go to the Xiliang Army, and convene all the generals to clarify the successor of the Xiliang Army, there are two plans, the first plan is to make it clear that my Huangfu Wujin is the successor of Zhang Dashuai, The second plan is for the old prince to find an excuse to sever the father-son relationship with Huangfu Zhuo......."
"I support the first option!"
Without waiting for Wujin to finish speaking, Zhang Chongjun preemptively expressed his position, he did not approve of the second plan, and severing the father-son relationship would hurt Huangfujiang too much.
Jiang Yan, who had not spoken beside him, also said slowly: "I think it is indeed a good way to make it clear that Wujin is the successor of Chongjun, as long as the core generals of the Western Liang Army know that the successor of King Liang is Wujin and not Huangfu Zhuo, this will change a little hesitation in his heart, and they will completely give up Huangfu Zhuo, in this way, Huangfu Xuande's years of hard work will be in vain, and he will have to start over, at least for another five years, which will delay his plan against the Western Liang Army." β
Zen Master Huiming also expressed his position, "I support Chongjun and Jiang Yan's opinions, first, it is extremely important to make it clear that the identity of Wujin's successor is extremely important, and secondly, there is no need to sever the father-son relationship with Huangfu Zhuo. β
"Nope! I think it's necessary. β
Huangfu Jiang glanced at everyone, his attitude was extremely firm, "If you continue to cut off the father-son relationship with Huangfu Zhuo, and completely cut off his hope, then Wujin will fall into extreme danger, Huangfu Xuande will definitely kill Wujin, Huangfu Zhuo still has the hope of a successor, I only sever the father-son relationship with him, Huangfu Xuande will die of this heart, and then he will turn his head and fight Wujin's idea again, and turn Wujin into the second Huangfu Zhuo, that is exactly what we want, this is also good for Huangfu Zhuo, this matter I have decided, When the marriage is over, I will rush to Xiliang. β
In fact, severing the relationship between father and son is also to keep Huangfu Zhuo's surname, think about this, everyone no longer objected, Wujin continued: "Then let's talk about the second step, I don't know if you have found out, Huangfu Xuande is playing with fire in many things, after all, he allowed the prince to have 50,000 guards, he acquiesced to King Qi's control of the Qizhou army, and the 50,000 elite soldiers in the hands of King Zhao, maybe this is his imperial technique, provoking the princes to compete for the throne, he takes advantage of it, maybe he thinks he can control the situation, So he tried his best to indulge the prince to fight, I was thinking, if the struggle between the crown prince and the king of Chu was out of control, and the emperor Fu Xuande was allowed to play with fire [***], then he would be anxious about the out-of-control situation, and he would no longer have the energy to think about the affairs of the Xiliang army, what do you think? β
Wu Jin's suggestion made everyone laugh, Huang Fu Jiang said: "Wu Jin, we discussed your idea thirty years ago, this is actually our biggest strategy to reset, and so the world is in chaos, we fish in troubled waters, for this day, we began to implement it thirty years ago, and the current situation is that the four dragons seize the heir, the prince, the king of Chu, the king of Qi, and the king of Zhao, but we have to add another dragon, the king of Liang, to form a situation of five dragons to seize the heir, and finally to succeed as the king of Liang, and wait for the throne to sit firmly, and then announce the truth to the world." , Jin An was reinstated, so it is not too early to make the struggle between the prince and the king of Chu out of control, and it is necessary to wait for the pattern of the five dragons to seize the heir before launching civil strife, no Jin, although your idea is good, but for the sake of the overall situation, before we are ready, we can't intensify the contradiction for the time being. β
"But what if Huangfu Xuande finds out that he is playing with fire, and he decides not to play the Four Dragons anymore?"
As soon as Wu Jin finished speaking, Zhang Chongjun said categorically: "If that's the case, we will launch it immediately and make the world chaotic." β
οΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ Zhang Chongjun had to go out of the city before closing the city gate, and after the meeting, he bowed to Wujin again and left in a hurry, Huiming Zen Master and Jiang Ge Lao also left one after another, and Huangfu Jiang stopped Wujin.
"Wu Jin, accompany me to the back garden for a walk."
Wu Jin knew that he had something to say to himself, so he nodded silently and followed him to the back garden, where the grandfather and grandson walked slowly on the cobblestone path, and Huangfu Jiang sighed.
"Maybe you don't want to listen, today before you came, we talked about your marriage, Wu Jin, in fact, we all hope that you can marry Chen Ying, not Su Han, do you understand?"
Wu Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Grandfather worried about the Chen family?" β
Huangfu Jiang saw that he called his grandfather, there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, he nodded, "Among the six warriors of Jin'an, in fact, what we are most worried about is the Chen family, they have established their own de facto kingdom, they are still willing to contribute all their strength, we have no bottom, and if you can marry Chen Ying as a wife, it is another matter, the Chen family will fully support you no matter what, although the Phoenix Society has only eight thousand standing troops, they can mobilize fifty thousand troops in an emergency, this is a very important force for us." β
Wu Jin didn't say anything about it, but he diverted the topic and asked, "Grandfather, I already know who four of the six warriors of Jin'an are, and who are the other two, can you tell me?" β
"Two more ....."
Huangfu Jiang's expression was a little sad, "There is another one who has passed away, but his son is also a very powerful figure in Chuzhou, you will know after you go to Chuzhou, but I can't tell you the last person, I can tell him that his past name is Leng Qingqiu, except for me and Huiming Zen Master, everyone else thinks he is dead, but I am the only one who knows what his name is now?" Where to hide? He hides it very deeply, he will play a role when it is most critical, I promised him that I will not tell anyone, Wujin, believe me, you don't have to ask again, he doesn't want anyone to know, including you. β
"I see, I won't ask again."
They walked a few more steps in silence, and Huang Fujiang asked him again: "What do you think of the Chen family I said just now?" β
Wu Jin shook his head and smiled: "I must marry Su Han as my wife, if Chen Ying is willing, I can marry her as a flat wife, but she can't be a regular wife, and in the future, the subjects of the Daning Dynasty will not accept a pirate-born queen and make her a regular wife, doesn't my grandfather think it's ridiculous?" β
Huangfu Jiang knew that Wu Jin was unwilling, he smiled helplessly, indeed Wu Jin was right, that girl was too dark to support the faΓ§ade of King Liang.
At this time, Wu Jin said again: "As for the Chen family, if they take their own power very seriously, I think even if I marry Chen Ying, they will not give it to me, I don't force their power, I am the governor of Chuzhou, I will use the convenience of this position to establish my own power." β
Huangfu Jiang stopped and looked at him deeply, and only after half a sound did he sigh slightly: "Zhang Chongjun only saw you once, so he commented on you's Zhizhu in your chest, Can't spend it with an ordinary heart', if you know people, I am really far inferior to him, no Jin, you are more courageous than your father, although your father is Tianfeng, but he has too many concerns, indecisive, living in pessimism all day long, he doesn't even dare to try, and finally depressed, and you dare to act, no wonder Zhang Chongjun said when he left that he finally had confidence again, this is your biggest advantage, you can give people confidence. β
Wu Jin smiled bitterly, "Grandfather praised me too much, in fact, I also do a lot of things hard, if I don't do it, I can't do it, if I don't do it, it will be difficult to protect my life, in order to save my life, I have to let it go." β
Huangfu Jiang laughed, and at this time, Wujin said lightly: "Today, Huangfu Wuzhi came during his grandfather's lunch break. β
Huangfu Jiang's face turned iron-blue, he looked up at the bright moon in the night sky with his hands in his hands, and only after a while did he say coldly: "Leave him alive, I don't care about the rest." β
