Chapter 168: Progress
Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun and Yang Zhi ate some wine and rice indiscriminately while talking, and the various countermeasures to deal with the prince's usurpation have been roughly agreed, and it is time to implement them next. The three brothers consciously did not mention Wei Feiyang, and no one knew under what circumstances they would meet this little brother in the future, at least not to think about it that far now. The three of them all had a seemingly unrealistic thought in their hearts: I hope Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu and his son is a son
Xu Wenhan made a meaningful summary of the secret discussion between the three people: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, and there are still projectiles eyeing the trees. It doesn't matter if we join hands to be a yellow bird, we must not let our family become a projectile behind us. Now that the year is about to close, it has become a situation of secret war, we must remember to keep our mouths shut and be cautious, just bury our heads and do it. ”
Now that the goal is clear, they have all lined up their troops to fight with the prince, what are you talking about "yellow birds"? The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. Yang Zhi is a pragmatist in his bones, if it weren't for his own major interests, he didn't really care who would become a profitable fisherman in the future. In this regard, the Qin clan must be on the same page as him.
Yang Zhi had not yet met the emperor's other two sons, King Ning and King Kang, who were heavily armed, and his understanding of them was very limited. Although King Yue is young, he has seen things very clearly, and he can calm down as before, standing on the side as a bystander. Age is the best natural disguise for that kid, if he becomes a fisherman, can he ensure that the interests of Yang Zhi and the Qin family will not be violated in the future? God knows!
Without further ado. According to the plan discussed by the three of them, Yang Zhi should visit Zhou Ting on the grounds that he should visit the patient next. He had never been in the habit of taking servants. Before going out, you have to settle Chang San. Out of years of cold-blooded killer career to develop professional habits, often three are silent and not surprising, at first glance he looks like a wooden farmer. It would be unwise for such a person to be exposed to others too early.
Yang Zhi asked Xu Wenhan to send someone to call Chang San, and did not deliberately avoid Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun. wrote a note and handed it to him and instructed: "Brother Chang, what happened when I rushed back to Chang'an, I think you already know a little bit about it." Good steel should be used on the blade, and if you are close to me, it will be too eye-catching at the moment. For the time being, I have wronged you to come to my house to be a servant who cleans the study, so as to disguise your identity. Give the note to my wife, and she will arrange it herself. ”
solemnly clenched his fists and said, "It's a big matter." The situation is complex. There are many internal guards in the palace who are on duty in my house, and there are many ears and eyes. In my absence, the personal safety of my father, Humble Jing and the princess will have to be taken care of by my brother. ”
Yang Zhi's entrustment of the personal safety of his close family is undoubtedly a great trust in Chang San. Chang San said that everything at this moment was superfluous, nodded heavily, silently took the note and left. Yang Zhi also knew that since the Qin clan had laid a secret net in a very targeted manner. How could the treacherous and cunning Duke Qin forget to arrange a retreat? But at this time, it is absolutely inappropriate to talk about this matter.
Although the three brothers formed an iron alliance, Xu Wenhan was purely worried about the ideals of the country and the people, while Yang Zhi and the Qin family were more for their own interests. Xu Wenhan's awe-inspiring righteousness not only made Yang Zhi and Qin Kongyun secretly ashamed. There is also an inexplicable awe from the bottom of my heart.
The two left the Xu Mansion together, and Yang Zhi was worried about entrusting Qin Kongyun to imitate the royal gold medal. As soon as they didn't want to go out, the two of them spoke almost at the same time: "Second brother." Third brother, I still have something to tell you. ”
Both of them were stunned. Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Second brother, you say it first." ”
Qin Kongyun asked in a low voice, "According to my father's expectations. The third brother returned from Shandong in too much hurry. Maybe something important will be left behind. I don't know if what my father said is true
Yang Zhideng's eyes lit up. He said with a smile: "...... Even if it's on. An ambiguous smile on his face: "That Linglong county lord can be so loved by the third brother." What a blessing! My father specially ordered my brother Jiaoyang to ask the county lord for it. Order someone to send it from Penglai to Chang'an in the starry night and hand it over to you. ”
Yang Zhi looked down. As expected. In his hand is a golden gold medal! Qin Gong's old fox is really a last resort! Linglong was born in an imperial family. It's not a political idiot like Shen Yu. It is impossible not to know the weight of the gold medal. How can it be easily entrusted to others? How could Qin Jiaoyang be able to get land from her? To get the gold medal, he also ordered someone to rush back to Chang'an before Yang Zhi. That's even more.
The reason why Qin Kongyun said this. It's not that it's pretentious. The gold medal signifies the supreme imperial power. The person who holds it can decide the life and death of countless people with one word. But it is actually equivalent to the emperor signing an agent's license. It is completely collateralized by the emperor's personal credit. The safety of the emperor's land directly determines the utility of the gold medal. On this occasion. Others may not buy it. Not to mention fakes? Like this high-quality goods. Is that a casual fake? Even if it is. That must also be bitten to death, and I can't admit it!
The decoration and text on the gold medal are no different from the real thing, and they are extremely exquisite. If it weren't for the fact that Gong Qin had observed it with his own eyes. Categorically dare not imitate it privately. Yang Zhi prides himself on being a bold landlord. How could the old guy who lived in a deep and simple place be inferior by half a point? No wonder the emperor would put the two of them in one category! Be careful to pick up the fake gold medal. Wan Er smiled and said, "The craftsmanship is good. Duke Qin and I really have a soul! ”
Qin Kongyun smiled knowingly. Don't pick up the stubble. He asked, "What does the third brother want to say to me?" ”
"Didn't we already say that?" Yang Zhi raised his head and laughed, and rode straight to Zhou's mansion.
He openly entered the palace to see the queen and Concubine Mei, which already had a certain sense of showmanship, so that all the gods would know that he was back at this juncture. Now if I go to visit Zhou Ting again, even if there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it brightly or secretly, there is no need to worry about anything. Walking on the road and thinking about it carefully, I am in the Ming and Qin clans and in the dark, isn't it just that the two are compatible? Afraid of a bird!
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been many famous generals, and the military will be star-studded. Previously, Zhou Ting was almost unknown, and according to the standards in Yang Zhi's mind, he could be called an honest person. However, honesty does not mean stupidity, otherwise the emperor would not have handed over hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops to Zhou Ting before the imperial conquest. Zhou Ting only has the emperor in his eyes, and no one else recognizes him. As a high-ranking general who is self-aware and has no superfluous ideas, it is undoubtedly a wise and clever way of living. Uncle Shen is honest and loyal, which is exactly what Yang Zhi hopes he can embark on in the future, but unfortunately now it seems that this possibility is very small. Yang Zhi is as serious as Lu Xun was to the people of the country, and he is angry with his misfortune. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh for a while.
Zhou Tingwei has been a general for many years, and he is also a person who has seen the wind and waves of old age, and he pretends to be sick very professionally. Just when he was in the prime of his body as strong as an ox, he suddenly "fell ill" in front of him, Xu Wenhan treated and reminded Yu Hou euphemistically, so he naturally didn't dare to joke with his life, and he has not taken half a step out of the door since he was sick.
Everyone believed that Yang Zhi's inspection of Shandong was just a preventive appointment by the emperor to him, and it was great to open up new sources of wealth for the emperor and make a lot of money at the same time. He was expected to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not only to hold the keys to the overseas treasury in his hands, but also to establish the Long Island Islands as a base for construction. Even Yang Zhi himself didn't expect it, the queen and Wei Su couldn't think of it, and Yang Zhi has always avoided the matter of the princes competing for the crown, and there is no clear tendency, so the queen and Wei Su adopted a strategy of coercion and entrapment against him, and inadvertently helped him a little: Zhou Ting didn't look at things for a long time, and there was no news about Yang Zhi's recommendation to be the general of the forbidden army a month ago. Today, after playing and recommending Wang Yunong and Xu Wenhan again, Wei Su, in order to quickly block everyone's mouths, even sent someone impatiently to send the recital approved by the emperor last time to the Zhou Mansion after the morning dispersed.
Wei Su's move not only made Yang Zhi save a lot of tongues, but he could frankly confess to Zhou Ting without any scruples, and also washed away his respect for Wei Su. If you are unkind and blame me for being unjust, why should you bear an inexplicable psychological burden on your own back?
The so-called policies and countermeasures have existed since ancient times. Zhou Ting understands righteousness, and is actually the same kind of person as Xu Wenhan. As soon as the front foot of the emperor's imperial approval arrived, Yang Zhi's back foot came to the door again, and Zhou Ting naturally knew his intention: "The old man was tired of illness and inconvenienced, so he had to work hard to fly the tiger marquis." ”
handed over a blank forbidden army general's order that had been signed with a seal: "There is a sentence that must be made clear to Hou Ye: The old man is not a pedantic person, and he will never trust Hou Ye, but the stakes are important and cannot be lost." If the emperor allows me to play, and the Hou Ye temporarily replaces the general of the forbidden army, then there is no need to worry. However, the emperor has the clear purpose of lying on the military affairs, but the old man has a breath, so the general's seal and the tiger talisman of the troop transfer cannot be easily entrusted to others, so as not to give people a handle to cause trouble. The old man has been waiting for the Hou Ye for a long time, and he just wants to ask for advice, how to phrase this paper and entrust him. ”
Comparatively speaking, Zhou Ting's Wen Taowu strategy may only be among the second-rate among many high-ranking generals of the Xia Army, but he must have something unique about being so trusted and valued by the emperor. Zhou Ting is loyal and cautious and low-key, and has the style of Lu Duan, who is not confused about major matters, Yang Zhi can't help but secretly sigh at the emperor's wisdom in knowing and employing people.
Yang Zhi also agreed with Zhou Ting's statement, since the emperor has clearly pointed out that Zhou Ting's position is irreplaceable, there is no need to step on this red line, and there is no need to immediately tear up the face to face with Wei Su.
He was not busy taking the blank general order, took out the freshly baked fake gold medal and smiled: "How can the heavy weapon of the soldier country be awarded lightly?" As far as the current situation is concerned, it is advisable to keep the seal and talisman in the hands of the general. It's just that this will make you have a way to write, and the general doesn't need me to teach you, right? And I'm afraid that a blank general order is a little less.
