Chapter 183: A Gentle Knife

To Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun painstakingly dealt with the crown prince and raised the throne, the motive was mixed between public and private. The difference is that Xu Wenhan has at least nine points of selfishness, and only one point of selfishness to realize his personal ambitions. And Yang Zhi and the Qin family are both to maximize the long-term stability of their respective interests, and it would be very good to have a two-eight open in reverse.

However, Zhao Qi's seemingly innate cunning and calmness made Yang Zhi feel a chill from the bottom of his heart, and gradually felt that this half-grown child's scheming could be described as unfathomable, and the calmness and calmness he showed in the power arena were even better than his own.

Zhao Qi's eloquent words made Yang Zhi decisively give up that ridiculous idea in an instant. The current emperor is as fierce as this, and I can't help it, even if the crown prince succeeds in coming to power, why should I be afraid of him? Zhao Qi is only twelve years old, and his mind and vision are far superior to the prince. If he helps him to take the position by mistake, he will not be like a fish in water, and he will be no less inferior to him in time! Isn't it uncomfortable to go to great lengths to develop a character that is significantly more difficult to tangle with for decades to come? Didn't Wei Su want me to remain neutral and not interfere? Then return to the original consistent line, play the banner of swearing allegiance to the current emperor, and help no one but yourself!

Although he made up his mind to change his course, Yang Zhi still saw one thing very clearly: if you want people not to dare to provoke easily, you must have to ask for yourself, and you must have enough capital. So now I am fighting for the capital, what to do and what to do!

Zhao Qi shouted loudly and called Yang Zhiqi by his name and called himself the king, and he was full of the identity of the prince of the prison country, although he was still immature and bright, but he had the power of a king. Yang Zhi's original heart for today's banquet was that the queen and Wei Su borrowed Zhao Qi's hand to set up a game, and after entering the palace, he didn't dare to be careless for a moment, but the golden dragon on his chest did not show the slightest sign of danger. At this moment, what shocked and angered him was that with Zhao Qi's loud shout, hundreds of guards poured out of the hall outside the hall to block the door of the palace, and the first person to go out of the crowd and approach, it was the eunuch Jin Zishan who was cited by Zhao Qi as a confidant!

Although Yang Zhi has mixed feelings about Zhao Qi, he has been friends with him for a long time, and he cannot be said to have no feelings at all. Unexpectedly, this kid quietly set up an ambush in secret, what was it if it wasn't a Hongmen banquet? I was extremely disappointed in Zhao Qi, and sneered: "I knew that the prince's meal today was so delicious, it turned out that the prince had already planned for a long time, no wonder he was so confident!" It is said that there is no father and son in the casino, and there is no selfless friendship in heaven, which is really a wise saying! Didn't the prince reprimand me for being arrogant? Then I'm not bad for one more arrogance: even if there are all the three thousand internal guards, what is there to fear? Does the prince think that if he fights for hundreds of lives, he can stop Yang? ”

Jin Zishan stepped forward and replied, "Flying Tiger Hou, please listen to the Sprinkle family's bold words." The Sprinkle family and the inner court guard brothers did not intend to want to see and understand the unstoppable courage of the Hou Ye, but the Lu of the Eater should be loyal to the king, and it is the duty of the prince to protect the absolute safety of the prince, and there is no need for the prince to arrange it secretly. Although the Hou Ye has made immortal contributions to Great Xia, he is still a courtier of Great Xia. The emperor attaches great importance to Hou Ye, and now he has half a son, and Hou Ye and His Royal Highness King Yue have always had a very personal relationship. Besides, Hou Ye is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he should know that he is guilty of contempting the monarch and the minister's program, and conspires against the nine clans, so why should he be so aggressive? Please be calm and don't be impatient, you can have something to say to the prince. ”

Jin Zishanmian's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but on the surface, he still had a calm and respectful attitude, and he was so respectful that he wanted to vomit.

"It's only one day in the cave, and it's been a hundred years in the world! I've only been out of Beijing for a few months, when did the inner court guards change to eunuchs? Hehe, it's hard for you to be so smart and smart, and when the safety of the prince is not threatened in any way, hundreds of people can rush up at once. Isn't it that my father-in-law was a fortune-teller before entering the palace, and he has the ability to predict the future? ”

Yang Zhi smiled contemptuously: "Yang asked himself if he didn't owe anyone anything, even in front of the emperor, I said so." I have the intention of being a minister of Great Xia, but I have no intention of being an accomplice to usurpation. It's not me who is aggressive today, you don't use those to cover me, I don't eat that! It stands to reason that it is not your turn to intervene in the matter between me and the prince, and I can't talk nonsense with you. What kind of thing are you? If you don't want to die, get out of the way! ”

In troubled times, the so-called Gangchang righteousness of "the monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die", although its deterrent power is far less powerful than that of the Taiping Dynasty, is still deeply rooted in the minds of ordinary people. Yang Zhi didn't have this concept in his mind at all, and that set was all blind in his eyes. Jin Zishan is by no means as simple as Zhao Qi's confidant eunuch, but unfortunately Yang Zhi has no interest in speculating on his true identity.

You are ruthless, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unrighteous!

Yang Zhi seemed to be staring at the hundreds of servants outside the hall and didn't see it, only paused slightly, and walked towards the door with a cold face. Jin Zi Shanwu had no fear, and many guards did not have the slightest intention of backing down. Yang Zhi was only a few zhang away from the palace gate, and the confrontation between the two sides was suffocating, and a bloody killing was about to break out!

Who knew that Zhao Qi was also full of shock, and it didn't look like he was pretending. The little face flickered blue and white for a moment of contemplation, and a few arrows rushed up to block Yang Zhi's body, staring at Jin Zishan with his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You are so bold!" Who told you to do that? Tell them all to get out of here! Without the king's edict, you must not step into the palace for half a step! Violators will be killed! ”

Jin Zishan was unmoved, and smiled back with a dry smile like a soaked cowhide: "Not to mention that the Flying Tiger Marquis is contrary to the righteousness of the monarch and the king."

, What is his intention to leave the palace at this moment, doesn't the prince understand? Even if the lord of the consequence is the prince of the prison country, I am afraid that he may not be able to afford it. The order of the prince, please forgive the Sprinkle family for not being able to obey. It's not a pity to die for a cheap life, so let's take death as an admonition! ”

Yang Zhi listened to it word for word from the side, and also saw that the two of them were by no means singing and putting on a show on the spot, seeing that Jin Zishan didn't eat hard and soft, and didn't even buy Zhao Qi's account, he couldn't help but be more and more secretly frightened.

“…… You?! Zhao Qideng was choked by Jin Zishan, his face was red, his neck was thick, and he shook his hand in anger and slapped him hard! I don't want Jin Zishan to put on a posture of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he will be slapped and suffered, so he simply kept his mouth shut, still not giving an inch.

Seeing that time was passing minute by minute, Yang Zhi moved around the two of them and said coldly: "You can sing slowly here if you have a play, I will not accompany you." ”

Zhao Qi rushed to the front of Yang Zhi, Jin Zishan and the guards did not listen to him, and he also knew that he could not stop Yang Zhi. Pacing back and forth at the entrance of the hall frantically, he suddenly pulled out the waist knife of a guard next to him and ran far to the side, Jin Zishan and many guards were caught off guard and didn't have time to react.

I saw Zhao Qi put the knife on his neck, and said fiercely to the good and evil of gold: "Good you eunuch who doesn't know death!" I don't care who instructed you, can you afford to bear the responsibility of forcing the prince of the Great Xia Prison Kingdom to death? I'll count three times, and if you don't step down, I'll die here on the spot!" If you have a kind, give it a try! One. ”

The waist knives worn by the guards in the inner court were all made of steel, and with a slight force on Zhao Qi's hand, the skin on his neck had been cut. Zhao Qi's words were not only for Jin Zishan and the guards, but also for Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi was stunned: The relationship between Zhao Qi and Jin Zishandi is extraordinary, but it is obviously not all the way. It's really unexpected that the situation has developed to this point, you might as well take a step back for a while and listen to what Zhao Qi wants to say!

"The duty of the Sprinkle family is to be disrespectful to the prince and the Flying Tiger Marquis, and it is really a last resort." Jin Zishan said with a gloomy face: "I don't want the prince to misunderstand the Sprinkle family so far." Hou Ye, the prince is indeed sincere to stay, and I hope that Hou Ye will put state affairs first. - Stand down! ”

Jin Zishan gave an order, and hundreds of guards immediately retreated cleanly, and the hall was empty again, as if nothing had happened. If Yang Zhi was only wary of Jin Zishan before, now he would have to seriously include him as the number one person on the hostile level. This person is not surprised by the changes, has good knowledge, and his courage is not bad. As soon as Zhao Qigang went crazy, Jin Zishan led all the guards to rush in, which shows that he is very likely to be a hidden martial arts master! How can the prince recruit such talents? But why did he become a eunuch?

After Zhao Qi saw that Jin Zishan led the guards to retreat, Yang Zhi had no intention of leaving, threw the waist knife in his hand, and pulled him back to sit down. He said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, you have also seen what the situation is, if I have the intention to design it for you, let me be destroyed by heaven and earth." At this moment, the words will not be passed on to the six ears, and I will tell you everything directly. ”

"Yes, I left you here to speak, firstly, to persuade you to confess carefully, and secondly, I really want to entangle you, so that you have no time to take care of him. As I have said, you are the most important person I have at my dinner today. After you arrive, I will send people to invite the rest of the civil and military ministers, so as not to leave them time to look ahead and backwards, and not allow them to think too much. The reason why I was particularly emphasized that I was entertaining in a private capacity was precisely to highlight the identity of the prince of my prison country, so that they had to come. In fact, to put it bluntly, I am the prince of Great Xia, and for me, it is the unity of family and country, so what is the difference between private status? What's more, there are a lot of senior officials above the second rank in the court, as for the old men like the Imperial History of the Imperial Academy, the Master of the Hanlin Academy, and the Master of the Tai Academy, they are all pedantic and dead-eyed people, and it will be troublesome to invite them, so don't invite them. I said in a private capacity, that is, I would invite whoever I wanted, cut out the tongues of those rotten people, and let them not fart anything. ”

Yang Zhi's mood at this time was very different from when he first entered the palace, and after listening to him patiently, he said expressionlessly: "The prince is smart." But to me, you still don't say it. ”

"What are you anxious about?" Zhao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I have already said that I am neither stupid nor blind. I made it clear to the queen that I was trying to persuade the ministers to support the crown prince, so that she would think that I had the intention to sell myself to ensure the safety of our mother and son and innocent ministers! Do you think I don't know what a prince is? Do you think I don't know what the Empress and Wei Su are up to? Do you think I don't know what you and Mr. Xu, Brother Qin, Uncle Huang and Geng Chao want to do? No one is much more stupid than anyone else these days, and all this is just tacit, do you have a little bit of evidence? You don't! If you are the first to act rashly, you will give them a perfect reason to start a mutiny, and you will bear the infamy of raising a rebellion through the ages! ”

"The so-called lesser of two evils, instead of making Great Xia fall apart and fall into the scourge of war, it is better to pretend to be deaf and dumb and let the prince be an emperor obediently! Moreover, the life and death of my father is unknown, and the situation has not yet developed to that point. The biggest weakness of the prince is that if his father does not die, he will not be able to grasp the forbidden army, as long as he welcomes his father and the prince into Beijing first, Daxia will not be chaotic! The power of a gentle knife is not necessarily worse than a bloody knife and a spear. When the time comes, you don't care who you support or who you overthrow, what can't you do? Who can stop you? ”
