Chapter 461: Hooked
"These people are wolves who can't be fed, after I ascended the throne and became emperor, I have had a lot of good treats on these people, but now I am treated like this, I really deserve to die." Lu Chu and the others did not hide Wang Shichong's eyes from the secret meeting, especially at this stage, Wang Shichong even opened his eyes when he slept, for fear that someone in the city would sell him.
Sure enough, when his side was just preparing to let Wang Xuanshu garrison Nanyang, so that it would be convenient for Li Xin to transport grain and grass, there was really a problem in Luoyang City, although I don't know what Lu Chu and the others discussed together, but it was definitely not a good thing.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhi asks to see Your Majesty."
At this time, the soldiers outside the main hall reported outside the main hall.
"Zhang Zhi?" Wang Shichong was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't remember who Zhang Zhi was.
"Zhang Zhi is Duan Da's son-in-law, and now he is the general of the eagle." Wang Xuanying hurriedly explained: "According to the news, Duan Da is also among these people today, but I don't know why Zhang Zhi is here?" ”
"Go, let him in." Wang Shichong's eyes rolled and said: "Duan Da is cowardly, timid and afraid, let his son-in-law come at this time, I'm afraid it's about today's matter." Hehe, that's kind of interesting, let him in! I want to hear what these guys are saying? Wang Shichong's face was hideous, his eyes were gloomy, he thought that he was not bad for Lu Chu and these family members, and he had been sealed by himself, and even crowned the prince of the country and the like, but he didn't expect these guys to sell themselves in a blink of an eye. Needless to say, these people either helped Li Xin or helped Li Shimin. Judging from the actual situation, it is Li Shimin's internal response that is the majority.
"And Li Xin is also hateful, I don't believe him Li Xin doesn't know about it, I'm afraid he already knew, but he didn't say it to himself, he just wanted to use Li Shimin's hand to deal with us, and use our hand to deal with Li Shimin, both of them lost. This can be in his interest. Wang Shichong quickly figured out the matter clearly, not only did Li Xin know the news that Li Shimin was about to invade him, but also Li Xin knew that Li Shimin had a response in Luoyang. It's just that Li Xin didn't tell himself last time, and fortunately he found out now, otherwise he really doesn't know what will happen.
"The last general, Zhang Zhi, greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Zhang Zhi was dressed in armor and strode in.
"General Zhang, please get up." Wang Shichong smiled on his face, stepped forward in person, and helped Zhang Zhi up. Said with a smile: "I have long heard that General Duan has a good son-in-law, who is not only a talent, but more importantly, both civil and military. Wang Shichong's treachery was vividly demonstrated at this time, even just now, he didn't know who Zhang Zhi was, and in the blink of an eye, he praised Zhang Zhilai.
"The last general is ashamed." Zhang Zhi's face was slightly red. I know how much ability I have, and it's okay to say that I have a little martial arts, but if I say that I am both civil and military, it would be a little fake.
"Deserved. Deserved, I say deserved, that is deserved. Wang Shichong laughed and said, "I and General Duan are close friends, and you can be regarded as my junior. Go ahead! If there is anything I can do, I will definitely promise you. ”
"Your Majesty, Emperor. This time, the last general came to report to the emperor on the order of his father-in-law. Zhang Zhi didn't have any joy in his heart, the government and the opposition, who didn't know that Wang Shichong would repay him, his heart was very small, and he liked to show small favors in front of everyone, but in fact, he wanted to deal with these guys.
"Oh, what's the big deal?" Wang Shichong looked at Zhang Zhi with a curious expression.
"Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu and others colluded with Li Shimin in an attempt to conspire and rebel, please ask the emperor to investigate." Zhang Zhi suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Today, Lu Chu invited Jiayue to go, originally thought it was just a normal reminiscence, but I didn't expect that when he said such a big thing, Jiayue was frightened, and he was already sick at the moment, and he was asking a doctor for treatment, but he was afraid of the conspiracy of these people, so he came to tell Your Majesty, please prepare as soon as possible." ”
"Oh, there's such a thing?" Wang Shichong looked shocked, looked at Zhang Zhi and said: "General Zhang's matter is very important, Lu Chu and the others are all ministers of the country, how can there be a conspiracy to rebel?" ”
"The last will not dare to lie. Please also ask Your Majesty to be aware of it. Zhang Zhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, Lu Chu really asked the last general to go to Nanyang, to ensure that Nanyang will never fall into the hands of Li Xin, and even asked the last general to wait until Li Shimin captures Luoyang, immediately kill the Nanyang guards, and dedicate Nanyang to Li Shimin." ”
"Looks like there really is." Wang Shichong let out a long sigh, helped Zhang Zhi up, and said: "If General Zhang hadn't come to tell me, I'm afraid that this Luoyang City would have been dedicated to Li Shimin by Lu Chu, and I might not have known that I had died like this." General Zhang has contributed to the country, and I must remember it in my heart. ”
"The last general also learned from the mouth of the last general's father-in-law." Zhang Zhi hurriedly said. He himself came on Duan Da's orders this time, if he got the benefit and forgot about Duan Da, this lie would be in vain.
"Duan Qing is still loyal to me. Prince, go and reward Duan Qing with the hundred-year-old ginseng in the inner mansion, let him recuperate with peace of mind, and when Li Shimin is solved, I will reuse him. Wang Shichong hurriedly said.
"The retainers obey." Wang Xuanying hurriedly said to Zhang Zhi: "General Zhang, please go this way, and Gu will give you that ginseng." Wang Xuanying also had a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Zhi with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and followed Wang Xuanying to retreat.
After half a ring, I saw Wang Xuanying re-enter the main hall, and saw Wang Shichong standing on the steps of the main hall, looking at the palace in the distance, leaning his hands behind his back, and looking gloomy.
"Father." Wang Xuanying said in a low voice: "He has already left, dare to ask his father what to do now?" Shouldn't these people be arrested and killed? ”
"Isn't it cheaper to kill them now?" Wang Shichong said very calmly: "Since they have decided to take refuge in Li Shimin, they will contact them sooner or later, and then they will be all in one go, I believe that such an opportunity will come soon, tell Shan Xiongxin to them, let them train soldiers and horses, and give them a fatal blow at a critical time, I believe that Li Xin must be very curious to know this news." ”
"There are Duan Da and them to do the internal response, we all know Lu Chu's every move very clearly, but the funny thing is that Lu Chu and they don't know anything now." Wang Xuanying said proudly.
"Lu Chu, these guys should be killed, but some people should be killed, but they can't be killed." Wang Shichong shook his head and said: "How powerful these families are, now I know that Li Xin is extraordinary, after he entered Guanzhong, he decisively changed his policy, so that those families made enough money, these people have abandoned the fields, Li Xin thus used these fields to buy the hearts of the untouchables, the two are balanced, and the society is stable." ”
Wang Xuanying did not speak, just as Wang Shichong said, as soon as Li Shimin arrived, he would definitely come to contact Lu Chu and others in the city. When the time comes, it's the best time to make a move. As for Li Xin in Guanzhong, Wang Xuanying thinks that Li Xin can do it now, and he can do it himself in the future.
"Li Xin, hehe, I'm afraid I'm already ready at this time, just waiting for Li Shimin to take the bait, poor Li Shimin even his own woman was snatched away by Li Xin, and now he is not Li Xin's opponent on the battlefield, it's really pitiful, just one move, he will be involved in Li Shimin, and he must be the one who loses his troops in the end." Wang Shichong laughed.
Where was Li Xin at this time? Above Tongguan, the flag is unfurled, although it is not to cover the sky, but it can still be seen that the guards are tight, under the city gate, many soldiers are standing in line there, in order to check the pedestrians around, the so-called reason is that Li Xin was injured, Li Zhao led the army to attack Luoyang.
"The prime minister's game is getting more and more powerful, and if he continues to lose like this, I'm afraid that Weichen's little money will be lost." On the city tower, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou, Pei Renji and Li Xin sat together, what was placed in front of everyone, it was mahjong, when Li Xin felt bored, he asked people to carve mahjong out of jade, and when he was fine, he called a few subordinates to play mahjong, which was also considered to be the quintessence of the country from this time.
"Why, the reward this king has given you is not small enough!" Li Xin said with some dissatisfaction: "After a while, you are all princes and princes of the country, isn't it enough for the court?" The king's country is not down, your family's money is there, and after the research institute is completed, the king allows you to choose one or two of them as the family property. ”
"Prime Minister Xie." After hearing this, the three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly said, these guys know that Li Xin is issuing benefits, and such benefits are not something that ordinary courtiers can get.
"Li Shimin has broken through Mengjin, the next step is Luoyang, hehe, Wang Shichong has put some effort into it this time, Li Shimin is not so easy to deal with, if you want to keep Luoyang, I don't have to think about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for this king to make a move." Li Xin shook his head and said.
"There are also big families in the city, and they have already been launched." Du Ruhui also nodded and said, "I don't know if Wang Shichong has already sensed the thoughts of Lu Chu and the others." ”
"Wang Shichong is treacherous, he never trusts anyone, wait! He's going to find out. Li Xin said with confidence. If Wang Shichong didn't even find out about this, then he wouldn't be called Wang Shichong.
"Prime Minister, Li Shimin's army has arrived at Luoyang City." At this time, on the city wall in the distance, Shen Qianqiu trotted over and said with a somewhat happy expression.
"That's the real hook." Li Xin said leisurely. (To be continued......)
