Chapter 177: The Wrong Person

Although this is a turbulent era when the heroes stand side by side, it is still an era of dignity and humility and strict hierarchy. Because of its owner, the Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion has never had the lifeless name of "majesty" like other princely and dignitary mansions. In the fashionable words of the previous life, it has long been full of very human harmony. And Yang Zhi's ruthlessness without warning ruined this group of harmony with his own hands in just a few minutes, making many people in it suddenly remember what year it was.

The human psyche is often very delicate. Yang Zhi knew that there were ghosts, snakes, and gods in all parties in the house, and he also made it clear that he had no intention of investigating in detail, but after singing such a show, everyone thought that this uncle was deliberately coming at him. This is exactly the effect that Yang Zhi wants, as soon as Xu Wenhan and Qin Kong Yunfu entered the door and heard about it, they only coldly popped out two words from between their teeth: It's okay.

Chang San has always been silent, and Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun are no strangers to each other, both of them know that Yang Zhi can be regarded as a confidant, and even Yang Zhi is commensurate with his brother and is not named, and the two of them naturally will not treat him as a person. Although Chang San has followed Yang Zhi for a short time, he is already familiar with his temperament and knows that he is never without a target, and he will not kill in vain. Seeing that the three of them met and conspired, they consciously wanted to go out of the study to avoid it.

Yang Zhi stopped him and said: "Brother Chang must know what is going on around me and can't hide it from my ears and eyes, the wind is cold outside the house and the night is cold, why bother to go to the cold in vain?" Sit down and have a few drinks with us. I'll leave something to you to do later. ”

A trace of warmth flashed in Chang San's eyes, but he still put himself in the right position, bowed down and thanked: "Thanks to Lord Hou's attention, it is really a villain." The three of them are all the top heroes in the world, and it is a blessing for the villain to be able to serve the pot from the side. ”

Yang Zhi was not reluctant, so he let him go. The three pieces of news from today's little guy and the intention of deliberately provoking and killing a guard were briefly said: "This time it's a mule or a horse that must be pulled out for a walk, what do the two brothers think?" ”

In this extraordinary period, the three of them are the exclusive service objects of the Qin family, and there is no favoritism in the sharing of intelligence. The two smiled knowingly, and Qin Kongyun said, "Third brother, are you testing us?" I can only guarantee that the news is absolutely true and reliable, and I only care about whether the millions of taels of silver thrown down will be lost. The rest is up to you and Big Brother. ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Not necessarily, right? Not to mention anything else, during the Chinese New Year, whether it is a wealthy family or a small people, they will be extra generous when they spend money. The supply of many items in the street is far more abundant than usual, even if the prices of one or two things have risen slightly. It doesn't show anything, and few people care too much, for example, about food. According to my estimate, if there is no big accident, the prince will arrive in Chang'an a day or two around the tenth day of the first lunar month. At that time, it was also the time when the market opened after the new year. People always have to eat, no matter how the situation in the Great Xia changes in the future, the first priority in front of the superior is to appease the people and maintain a stable situation. Compared with the splendid country, what is it to spend several times or even ten times the price to buy some grain for the market? ”

"The second brother is also good at laughing, there is a way that if you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, are the virtuous father and son so good people? It goes without saying that even if the prince gets to power, he will be asking for the Qin family for a while. I don't dare and won't do anything to you. According to the ability of the Xian father and son, after making a lot of money, he can calmly plan to retreat. I should have taken out one or two million silver to get a share of the pie, I really regret it! I actually missed such a good deal in vain! This is still a trivial matter, second brother, do you really dare to guarantee that the news sent back today is true and reliable? ”

Yang Zhi's words were very explicit, no different from exposing the Qin family's father and son in person, and even bluntly questioned the authenticity of the news.

Qin Kongyun said thoroughly: "Didn't I have time to talk to the eldest brother and third brother in detail? My father once had a strict order that within three generations of the Qin family, he might not have a chance to get ahead. The so-called no profit is not early, what is the matter in the world? Silver money is the way for the Qin family to live and survive, if you don't want to win some money, why bother spending so much money this time? There are no outsiders here. The Ming people do not lie, the first group of dead soldiers who attacked the holy car on the night of October 24 were sent by our Qin clan. Its intention is threefold, one is to test the depth of escort. The second is to throw bricks and attract jade, and the third is to create fog for disrupting the situation, so that the prince, King Ning, and King Kang are suspicious of each other and fight poison with poison. ”

"What does the second brother mean that the other two groups of dead soldiers must be the people of King Ning and King Kang?" Xu Wenhan noticed the subtle difference between Yang Zhi and the Qin clan in terms of vital interests, frowned slightly, and continued on the topic of Qin Kongyun: "As I expected, it is not bad. The emperor was suffering from a disease of wind. Although this disease is dangerous and abnormal, it is difficult to find the medicine, but if it is not killed on the spot at the time of the attack, it will be as long as a few years or as short as a few months, but I am afraid that it will drag on for some time. ”

"Zengzi's so-called three people become tigers is exactly what people say is terrifying. Now the rumors of the prince's murder of his father and usurpation are flying all over the sky, saying that the prince has no scruples about this, and it is absolutely impossible. The crown prince is his heart can punish the soldiers and make dangerous moves, if the emperor dies of a violent illness on the way to the class, isn't it equivalent to sitting on the rumors and not false? You must know that having no soldiers in his hands has always been the prince's biggest weakness. I think what he is most worried about now is that his two younger brothers, who have heavy troops, will have the pretext to rebel against him. The emperor's life is still alive but he is powerless to see things, and he is the most ideal for the prince. Not only are the rumors self-defeating, but the substantial obstacles to ascending to the throne no longer exist, he just needs a little patience. ”

"In fact, if the emperor dies now, it will not be of any benefit to the crown prince, King Ning, King Kang or us. The crown prince is worried that he will not be able to sit on the throne, and there will even be a situation of three points in Great Xia in the future. King Ning and King Kang either gritted their teeth and recognized their new status as kings and ministers, or they turned their faces with their troops. If we can get lucky, even if we can be tolerated by the new monarch, I am afraid that we will have no intention of being the minister of Great Xia again. In this section, the emperor is at least no longer in danger of his life, and this serious illness is not a blessing for the emperor. ”

Yang Zhi frowned and said, "Old Xu, what do you want to say?" Can't you speak something in the vernacular that people can understand as soon as they hear it? ”

Xu Wenhan smiled bitterly: "There are not many things in this world that the third brother can't understand, but I'm afraid there aren't many." To put it simply, these messages contain three meanings as far as I understand: first, there is no reason for anyone to take the emperor's life now, and the crown prince is the culprit who caused all this today. I dare to say that the three groups of dead soldiers claimed to attack the holy driver, but in fact, they were all rushing to get the prince's head. Not only that, but I can conclude that there will be a fourth and a fifth. ”

Hearing this, Qin Kongyun looked at Yang Zhi with bright eyes, and Yang Zhi stopped him angrily and said, "Don't look at me like that!" Do you want to say that it is better to simply let me assassinate the prince? I might as well tell you honestly, at that time, after the rest of my bloody battle, it was a gamble to go straight back to Shuofang and make a detour to the Turkic royal court. The assassination of the Tuodu Khan was not only to lament the annihilation of the 10,000 elite cavalry and to provoke righteousness, but also to tie his head to the waistband of his trousers. The reason why it was a successful blow. The time, the heart, and the momentum are indispensable. At this time and then, the crown prince is not a Khan of the Tuodu, and I am not a professional household who makes assassinating emperors a profession. Let's play with the prince as much as we want, big brother, you go on. ”

It's not that Yang Zhi didn't have the courage to assassinate the prince.

The Khan of Tuodu is the head of the enemy country, and the prince is the prince of Great Xia! Even if the assassination is successful. No matter who picked up this big bargain for nothing, in order to stabilize the country, the new monarch will inevitably have to envelop all forces with the mud, who will do it if you are not chosen as a scapegoat at that time? I think that when Cao Wei was in power in the Sima clan, Cheng Ji was ordered by Jia Yun to kill Cao Chao, the noble township duke, it stands to reason that he should have made a great contribution to the Sima clan, right? As a result, Sima Zhao was later accused of "great rebellion", and hundreds of members of the Cheng clan did not even give him a single hair! In the future, you will be a idiot to reason with politicians?

Even if the crown prince succeeds in ascending the throne, he will take you for a while and the Qin family is helpless, and probably he can't take me Yang someone. I now have an old father and a wife, and I am worth a lot of money. Why put them all in and take that risk? Where can you go and live a beautiful life? It's a big deal, the ass is not mixed in Daxia! Do you think Lao Tzu is a troubled boy?

Xu Wenhan sighed: "The third brother is right, the assassination of the enemy chief is related to the national righteousness of the country, and it can never be compared with the assassination of the prince. Regardless of whether the prince succeeds or not, whether he is meritorious or wrong, historians have their own opinions, but the crime of assassinating the prince is not something that ordinary people can bear, and this is the reason why none of the dead people are alive. But the third brother is so famous in Great Xia! Besides, the winner is not yet known, so why take such a big risk? ”

Qin Kongyun was also on a whim, and before he could say anything, he was cut clean by the two, and his face was suddenly full of shame: "It's because I thought about it." Third brother, I hope you don't misunderstand. ”

Yang Zhi smiled disappreciatively: "It's nothing." Our own brothers can't talk casually. Are you tired? ”

Xu Wenhan coughed lightly and picked up the previous topic and said: "Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, and everything will change due to the situation. The emperor is sick and a waste, do you think the prince, the queen and Wei Su are not afraid of long nights and dreams? The other two groups are not necessarily the people of King Ning and King Kang. It may also be a bitter trick on the prince's side. When the holy car was attacked, it was a great deal to urge the escort army to rush back to Beijing. ”

"If the emperor hadn't become a wasted person, King Ning and King Kang wouldn't have done anything else, and they probably didn't expect the dead soldiers sent to really kill the prince, of course, it would be best to succeed in sniping. Now as long as the emperor does not die for a day, the crown prince will not be able to be the emperor of Great Xia for a day. The two kings stayed away from the capital and supported the troops and respected themselves, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage. For now, as long as the emperor does not die. There are variables in the future, and they can also hope that they will slowly deal with the crown prince in the future. The current situation is undoubtedly a good thing for Great Xia. I can expect that as soon as the crown prince enters Beijing, the recital of King Ning and King Kang's request to return to Beijing for pilgrimage and debriefing should also arrive. ”

Qin Kongyun frowned and asked, "Could it be...... Aren't they worried about sending meat to the cutting board and letting the prince give a spoonful of stew? ”

Xu Wenhan replied without blinking: "Do you say that the prince has that ability?" They are both princes, brothers for so many years, who still doesn't know whose details? King Ning and King Kang each have their own teams, and it is true that the commander of the army is in charge of the outside, but the foundation is still in Chang'an. What's more, the crown prince only asks for the position of the prince, and first of all, he will reject the request of the two kings on the grounds that the war between Southern Chu and Northern Yan cannot be slack, and then call them back to Beijing to report on their work after the situation in Chang'an is calmed. ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "You guys are really talking farther and farther!" Big brother, you have been grinding for a long time before you said the first meaning, what about the second layer? ”

"Second, the Holy Driver only arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang at dusk yesterday, but the vanguard of the escort had already entered Luoyang first, which is also strange. It shows that the people around the prince are not all straw bales, and they have also learned to hide the truth and show the false. One of the two places must be false, or both must be false. It doesn't matter to us whether it's true or not, what matters is that we have estimated the time of the holy car's return to Beijing much earlier. You just said that it was around the 10th day of the first month, but I don't think so. We can only think of it as the fifth day of the first month, that is, we can arrange the response with a seven-day time limit. ”

Yang Zhi thought for a moment and agreed: "It makes sense." ”

"Third, the prince is in a hurry to return to Beijing, and Wei Su naturally has to make sure that everything goes wrong to respond. Pinching the palace ban and city defense is equivalent to the entire Chang'an under its control. If we let him do it well, then everything we do is just on paper. ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "In my opinion, before I saw the emperor with my own eyes, everything we did could be called on paper. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that the fate of the emperor is the fate of Great Xia. Today, I invite you to come and kill the guard, and in addition to discussing how to deal with the palace ban and the city defenses, you must also facilitate the dispatch of troops out of the city within these two days on the grounds that the Holy Driver has been repeatedly attacked. ”

Qin Kongyun smiled: "Why aren't we here for this today? At this moment, I realized that the guard you killed was really wonderful! ”

Xu Wenhan nodded and agreed: "Exactly." The prince's temperament and intelligence, Wei Su knows in his heart, and he is afraid that he can cope with the repeated assassination of dead soldiers, so Wei Su's mentality must be very contradictory to the mentality of sending troops to take over. ”

Looking at his use of troops, you can know that Wei Su has resisted the Turks in Shuofang for ten years, and he has been defending rather than attacking, which shows that he has always been cautious and calm. Based on the third brother's past name and the momentum of the minister who is now above the important ministers of the prison state, as well as a series of actions after you return to Beijing, Wei Su will never relax his vigilance against you in the slightest. But at this time, he takes stability as his first priority, and more is better than less, and he will never provoke you! What the second brother said is true, it doesn't hurt for you to kill that guard today and step on the bottom line of Wei Su and Zhao Tianyang, but it will speed up Wei Su's determination to bet on you! ”

Yang Zhi asked puzzledly: "Are you saying that without us bothering, Wei Su will take the initiative to recommend me to lead the troops out of the city to pick up the driver?" ”

"So what? You can't openly lead your troops to kill the prince, can you? Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and you are afraid that you will not be able to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve vigil in your own house. Xu Wenhan replied: "That guard died a little aggrieved. It's not early, I don't think Zhao Tianyang will come tonight. Even if you come, you have to knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach, and you will be compensated by pretending to be smiling. ”

Before Xu Wenhan's words fell, Chang San had been waiting from the side to listen to Jing and didn't dare to interject a word, suddenly frowned slightly, and whispered: "Master Hou, someone is hurrying over here!" ”

Yang Zhi smiled: "It's okay. I'm afraid that if I say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. ”

The three of them stopped talking and waited for a moment, only to hear Ah Fu say loudly outside the door: "Young Master, His Royal Highness King Yue has arrived!" It is said that there is something to inquire about you during the night visit on business, and you are serving tea in the front hall! ”

His Royal Highness the King of Yue? Zhao Qi, who is not slippery? Isn't it Zhao Tianyang, the general of the Inner Court? The three of them looked at each other, and Yang Zhi muttered in amazement: "What are you doing at this time?" ”
