Chapter 194: Confrontation

Yang Zhi has not stopped for a day since he returned to Chang'an from Shandong, and he has clashed with Wei Su several times in the turbulent undercurrent, and he has already preconceived in his heart, and it is indeed a certainty that the prince's vain attempt to rebel is indeed a certainty. This time, under the banner of welcoming the driver, setting up a bureau outside Tongguan City to wait for the prince is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone: one is to prevent trouble before it happens, and strictly prevent the prince from coercing the emperor to order the princes to forcibly enter the pass. Second, although Ye Chuang chose to cooperate with Yang Zhi in an all-round way, he still had many doubts. In order to avoid increasing the variables due to Ye Chuang's vacillation, he took this opportunity to convince him with facts. The third is that if the prince has a ghost in his heart, he will be frightened and panicked, which is tantamount to not admitting himself, which is equivalent to being slapped by Yang Zhi in front of tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies.

There is an abnormality and it is called a demon. Shen Zhong was reused by the emperor after the bloody battle in the desert, and the prince followed the emperor to just return from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the two of them were no longer fancy tricks who had not seen the world. If it weren't for the feces on his body, how could he be ugly?

Yang Zhi had a playful smile on his face and stood still on a high place. found that in addition to Shen Zhong beside the prince, there was also a long-lost figure, the prince's hardcore and fart insect Pei Xianzhong, the waiter of the East Palace.

Looking from a distance, the prince was obviously frightened by Yang Zhi's elaborate welcome ceremony, and hurriedly gathered with Shen Zhong and Pei Xianzhong to whisper a few words, and then forcibly ordered the escort soldiers and horses to collect their knives and continue to march in a row. Shen Zhong and Pei Xianzhong were in front, the prince was in the center, and the emperor Luan, who was surrounded by heavy troops, was at the end. The two armies were less than two miles apart, and 10,000 heavily armed cavalry rode their horses and charged in the blink of an eye, and no matter what order they marched, there was no practical point. The prince is like a child's temporary arrangement, what is it if he is not a thief?

The three suspiciously led the escort soldiers and horses before they could take a few steps, Yang Zhi waved his hand and shouted: "Fire the cannon to meet the driver!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom......!" As the flag-carrying first horsemen of the two phalanxes, Captains Zhu Dawei and Hu Zhixiong waved the flags again, the majestic city tower suddenly rumbled with cannons. The cannon fire was divided into two rounds, each round of nine rounds.

According to the Great Xia military system, if the emperor returns from the expedition, he will fire a salute to welcome him, and he should fire nine cannons. Although it is extremely unlikely that the emperor will be in danger in person, just in case the family is stewed, it is rare for the emperor to bring the prince to the emperor in person. As for whether he should fire another cannon for the prince, Yang Zhi really didn't know. When he gave the order, he did not forget to carry the crown prince after the emperor. deliberately according to the emperor's regulations, he also bombarded the prince with nine cannons, which included some mischievous elements, so as to leave the prince a little room for imagination for a better future.

Although the panic of the escort soldiers and horses was not as obvious as the previous wave of slogan bombardment, it was a pity that the prince was not blessed to accept Yang Zhi's "hospitality". The sudden sound of the cannon still startled him, and he stumbled on his horse, and his heavy face became more and more difficult to look at.

In good conscience, in the prince's lineage, the starting point of the prince's vain attempt to rebel is just to maintain his precarious position, to defend Su diligently, thrifty, upright, and to make great contributions to the country. Heavy-minded, loyal and upright, their personalities are difficult to define by the word good or bad, and their merits and demerits can only be commented on by future generations.

Yang Zhi and Shen Zhong are both uncles and brothers, and several bitter lessons remind him to think twice about the long term, be a pure soldier outside the political struggle, and strive to ensure the safety of his life. I don't want to be heavy or be bewitched by the prince and get on his thief ship, and die for it!

When the escort soldiers and horses slowly approached, he nodded to Yang Zhi with a solemn expression and said, "Flying Tiger Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time." Don't come unharmed? ”

Yang Zhi laughed mockingly, forced himself to resist the urge to beat Shen Zhong wildly, glanced at him with a cold gaze, and passed by without even saying hello.

A very important reason why Yang Zhi is always undefeated is that he can maintain a calm and good attitude at all times, and he clearly knows what he should do even when he is at a critical moment. rode his horse to the prince, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said: "Weichen Yang greets the holy driver!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

"Flying Tiger Hou doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" Extraordinary people must have extraordinary features, and the prince is most praised for being "gentle, generous, diligent and benevolent". Hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Zhi up. Squeezed out a few tears and choked bitterly: "I can get the first fierce general of Great Xia, Feihu Hou, to come to greet me, I can finally rest assured!" After his father passed Luzhou, he became ill and couldn't afford to be sick, and the class teacher was repeatedly harassed by unidentified fanatics on the way to victory, and even his father was even worse and difficult to see. I am not able to protect and deserve to be a son of man. It's really unfilial! ”

Yang Zhi listened to the prince's tone, at least the emperor's life was still alive, and he was immediately greatly relieved. And the prince has always been jealous of him, and the first words of the meeting were very meaningful. seems to be a painful repentance, but in fact, it is a provocative statement that the emperor is sick and will die soon. I am the legitimate first successor, no matter how brave and cunning you Yang Zhi usually are. As long as you don't have the intention of rebellion, what else can you do to me except bow your head and recognize me as the new monarch of Great Xia in the near future?

Why is the acting skills of several of their fathers and sons better than the other? The prince's sincere and outstanding performance couldn't help but make Yang Zhi feel a chill. Trying his best to hold back the nausea in his heart, he said with grief and indignation: "Weichen was ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and was entrusted by the four important ministers of the prison state, and led the troops to meet him day and night. The emperor was ordered by the sky, and now it is just a small misfortune, and the prince does not need to worry too much, let alone blame himself too much. Please rest assured that from today onwards, as long as Weichen still has a breath of air, there will never be any chance for the crazy ghosts and ghosts to take advantage of! ”

The so-called speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Yang Zhi's reply was actually a conversation to deal with, and he didn't want to chill the prince, but the prince felt harsh when he heard it. Pretended to wipe a handful of tears to cover up: "What the Flying Tiger Marquis said is very true. With you, my father can sit back and relax, and I am very pleased. It's just that the father emperor is sick and tired all the way, and he needs to enter the city as soon as possible. The Southern Tang Dynasty was newly destroyed, his father was seriously ill, and everything in the court was complicated. The Flying Tiger Marquis is an all-rounder, a minister of the pillars of the humerus of Great Xia, and he hopes to help me act. At this time, the wind is hunting, the cold wind is biting, it is better to enter the city first and then calmly calculate! ”

The prince had a heavy face of worrying about the country and the people, and held Yang Zhi up to the old high, as if he had already regarded himself as the new emperor, and only urged him to enter the city. Yang Zhi sneered in his heart, and without waiting for an answer, Pei Xianzhong came over and said with a smile: "The villain has seen the Flying Tiger Hou." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the emperor's holy car has been repeatedly attacked and harassed for several days, but fortunately, the escort soldiers have done their duty, so that the assassination fanatics have returned in vain. Now the escort soldiers and the Flying Tiger Marquis personally led the 50,000 elite soldiers stationed in Tongguan have met, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, after entering the city later, please also ask the Flying Tiger Marquis and General Ye Chuang to tell the prince the details of the troops and horses stationed in the prince, so that His Royal Highness the prince can coordinate and subordinate. ”

One is urging to enter the city, and the other is impatient and delusional to take over the military power and do your mother's spring and autumn dreams! Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Pei Shi has a heart. Weichen is entrusted by the order of the king of Yue and the four important ministers to come to greet him, and there are joint concerts of ministers and forbidden army soldiers as evidence, I don't know if the prince and Pei Shiyu need to check it? The emperor and the prince have not returned to Beijing for a day, and the responsibility of the prince of Yue has not been relieved for a day. Besides, that was after returning to Chang'an. In other words, after the three soldiers and horses converged, it was already the responsibility of Weichen to protect the holy car and the prince, and he did not dare to bother the prince to coordinate his subordinates, let alone bother Pei to study. ”

Pei Xianzhong was choked when he boarded, his face was red and his neck was thick: "Flying Tiger Marquis,...... You?! ”

The prince was also stunned when he heard this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and then he forbearedly said: "The words of the Flying Tiger Marquis are not unreasonable. The Flying Tiger Marquis is a major minister of the Great Xia Pillar Stone, and the three soldiers and horses are all my Great Xia Erlang, so it is the same if the Flying Tiger Marquis is under the control. Flying Tiger Marquis, this is hard for you to lead the holy car into the city, right? ”

The prince is usually like a chicken in front of the emperor, but today he doesn't exist as if he didn't exist! From this point of view, even if the emperor has a life, he is just a living dead with a breath of air.

Yang Zhi said quietly: "Thanks to the prince's trust, Weichen has no choice but to be ashamed of his responsibility." Weichen thought that he was not busy leading the holy car into the city. ”

In order to stabilize Yang Zhi, the prince gave up the command of the escort soldiers and horses in a few words, but he didn't want to get half a concession in exchange for this guy! His face suddenly turned cold: "What does Flying Tiger Marquis mean?" Have you forgotten whose family is in Great Xia now? ”

Yang Zhi waved his hand again and said: "Weichen always remember that he is a Xia Chen, and I don't work to remind you this time, please don't be impatient." Forgive Weichen for daring to ask, does the prince know why King Yue and the four important ministers of the state sent Weichen to lead the troops? ”

"It's because the emperor has always been strong, why he is sick this time, and why he can't afford to be sick, it's really strange! The emperor is wise and martial, and is deeply loved by the subjects of Great Xia, why has this holy car been attacked several times? What are the ill-intentioned rebels and thieves who are the assassins? It is rumored that the prince is worried that his throne will not be guaranteed, and he is trying to kill his father and rebel! Not only is it rumored that Chang'an is full of wind and rain and people are panicked, but everyone inside and outside Tongguan knows it! Although rumors should not be believed, they are not necessarily groundless. Hehe, the prince is not only the son of man but also a minister, and he is also the prince of a country that is widely regarded by the people, and he should have the magnificent power of accepting all rivers. Shouldn't we refute rumors and avoid suspicion in order to set the world right? ”

Yang Zhiyan chiseled the words and cut the heart, and one big hat after another buttoned it over, choking the prince's little face into the color of pig liver. Pei Xianzhong's face turned pale, and he quickly lowered his head. Shen Zheng has always been in awe of Yang Zhi, and after saying hello calmly, he has been standing beside him without saying a word. At this moment, his face was full of blood and he bit his lips tightly, and he couldn't help but press the hilt of the sword on his waist with one hand.

The crown prince Wan Wan Yang Zhihui said so directly to his face that he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he was speechless for a while. As Yang Zhi expected, if the prince loosens his bag and submits softly at this time, it is tantamount to not recruiting himself. Deng Shi woke up and shouted: "Yang Zhi, you are so arrogant! I am the prince of a country,...... Not your prisoner! How dare you speak to me like that? You?! …… Do you still have a father in your eyes? Are there still kings and ministers? ”

Yang Zhi smiled leisurely: "Weichen just replied according to the truth, did he say something wrong?" There is a way that the pure ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid. If the prince really has a clear conscience, why should he be so anxious? ”
