Just as Yang Zhi and Ye Chuang said, he grasped the thoughts of the prince's group: he has both the heart of a thief and the courage of a thief, but the heart of a thief is far from being ruthless enough, and the courage of a thief is not big enough.

Since ancient times, every emperor who ascended to the throne through abnormal means, behind the infinite scenery of success, there is a bloody storm. The crown prince was out of deep fear of the loss of his throne, so he did not hesitate to throw his sword and go sideways. Relying on the support of the old warrior clan in Guanzhong and Jincheng and the conservative Wenchen in the court, the gathering of Wei Su, Zhao Tianyang, Shen Zhong and others as thugs is actually barely enough in terms of force.

The prince's mistake lies in the fact that because of a serious lack of confidence in its own strength, the princely clique actually fantasizes about coming to power through a relatively mild bloodless coup. The mistake is that they forgot that history has always been written by the victors, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin had no mercy in the Xuanwumen Change? The "glorious" deeds of killing his brother, slaughtering his brother, and forcing his father did not fall, but it did not affect his reputation as an emperor through the ages. The mistake is that the prince was originally a chairman with insufficient confidence and indecision, and he also hired the naïve Wei Su as the general manager.

The fact that the bloody battle in the desert and the violent death of the Tuodu Khan brothers in the same night are enough to prove Yang Zhi's invincible bravery, and the prince has personally experienced this person's cruelty and treachery more than once. The prince has formed such a deep-rooted concept in his heart: there is nothing in this world that he Yang Zhi dare not do, and there is no person he dare not move!

The 10,000 heavy horsemen put on a majestic posture made the prince feel breathless. Yang Zhi's words squeezed him, and he fell into an embarrassing dilemma. At the moment, his mind was racing, fortunately, Yang Zhi was not the person of King Ning and King Kang, it was better than Geng Chao to lead the troops. Anyway, the emperor's father has become a waste, and now the only way to do this is to swallow his anger and let him run rampant for a while. After surviving this hurdle and returning to Chang'an, it will be the world of this prince! King Ning and King Kang are far away in Suizhou and Youzhou respectively, and the fifth brother King Yue is still a milky child. I'm seated on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace!

The prince thought of this. I felt a little relieved. Staring at Yang Zhi, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Flying Tiger Hou, as the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows, in your opinion, how can I prove my innocence?" ”

Yang Zhi replied: "It can prove the innocence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The most powerful witness is undoubtedly the emperor. ”

The prince scoffed: "Ridiculous! If the father and emperor can still see things, how can those shameless rats who are intent on being punished have the opportunity to spread rumors and make trouble? Now that my father is seriously ill and can't speak, and even needs someone to serve him all the time for his daily diet and daily life, you are clearly making it difficult for me to say this. ”

When the crown prince talked about the emperor's current situation, his eyes were determined, but there was no sadness. On the contrary, there is a faint sense of complacency. Yang Zhi had already been fully mentally prepared for the emperor's illness, and he still couldn't help but feel cold. Shaking his head and laughing: "Why did the prince say this? You are the heir to the prince of the emperor's golden book, and today you temporarily occupy the position of the prince, and you will be the honor of the Ninety-Five on the other day. The minister is a mountain and wild cloth, because of the wrong love of the ancestor Ji Demeng Emperor and is a very popular minister, although he was born and died several times for Daxia, he has not been able to repay the emperor's grace in case of emergency, how can he be disrespectful to the prince? How dare you embarrass the prince? ”

The prince knew that he would never be credible if what he said was true or false, but it finally sounded much more pleasant. Dengshi's face turned slightly pale, and he snorted coldly: "I hope you are the same heart." ”

"Prince Mingjian." Yang Zhi said with a straight face: "Weichen has heard such a sentence: people are doing it, and the sky is watching!" There are gods in the so-called three feet above the head. Wechen acts from his heart, and has never intended to target anyone. ”

The prince's slightly relaxed heart made him jump up again, and he changed the topic and said: "Shuo Feng Ye Da, you and I don't need to bother to be frozen here." Just tell me what you want! ”

Yang Zhilian was scared and grinded with him for a long time, waiting for this sentence: "It's very simple." First, Weichen is entrusted by the ministers and must go to the dragon to meet the emperor in person. As long as it is found out that the emperor's illness is indeed consistent with what the prince said, it can at least be preliminarily proved that it is not a one-sided statement concocted by the prince to deceive the public. ”

Do you "know a little bit about medicine"? The emperor's father still cares about his own life, and he has appointed two imperial doctors to accompany him. They are all among the top experts in Tai Hospital. Not to mention that they are all people who have been fed by this prince, in terms of medical treatment alone, are you better than them, and what other clues can you see?

The prince knew that the team did not have the ability to cover the sky with one hand. It is still far from the classic of arbitrary power that refers to the deer as a horse. Not only can't stop Yang Zhi now, but even after returning to Chang'an, he is powerless to stop the important ministers and nobles from visiting the saint. I can't cover it sooner or later, and there's no need for that, so it's better to be generous: "It's not difficult to do this, the Flying Tiger Marquis will be able to meet his father later." ”

"Second, it is said that the emperor has been sick in Luzhou for more than a month. After a long journey and no mountain collapse, it shows the strength of the emperor's dragon body. Great Xia is a multi-talented person, among which there are many apricot forest masters Qi Huang Holy Hand. After escorting the emperor's good life back to Chang'an, he will definitely look for good doctors for diagnosis and treatment. If it can be confirmed that the emperor is not caused by artificial medicine, but by the destiny of heaven, wouldn't the prince be a little less suspicious? If God bless my emperor can be healed by the dragon body, then the rumors will be even more self-defeating. Therefore, the prince should avoid suspicion now, and the escort from Tongguan to Chang'an and the emperor's daily diet and daily life will be taken over by Weichen immediately. ”

The prince is even more afraid of this. The two imperial doctors made it clear to the prince that the emperor's symptoms of "true yang decay, yin and yang deficiency" were true. Although the emperor has not died until now, the wind evil has already been terminally ill, causing delirium and unconscious, and it is a fool's dream to "heal the dragon body"! The lives of the two imperial doctors were pinched in the hands of the prince, and they didn't dare to say a word! It is said that people have seven spirits, and the emperor has gone to six, and you say that you want to take over the past, and I am desperate! In case the emperor can't survive Chang'an, not only does it have nothing to do with the crown prince, but the head on your Yang Zhi's neck is not very reliable, right?

"If God blesses Father Emperor Dragon's body to heal, the Flying Tiger Marquis's work is comparable to recreating Great Xia! Well, I agreed to this section. ”

"Third, for the same reason, the emperor Luan, the crown prince and the accompanying civil servants can all enter the customs first, but the 20,000 escort soldiers can only temporarily accept some grievances and be stationed outside Tongguan City on standby. Until the Holy Driver and the Prince return to Chang'an, after the Prince and several important ministers of the State of Governorship have discussed, they will decide where to move the division. ”

The prince has no foundation in the military, and Shen Zhong is a descendant general that he has cultivated with great difficulty. The 20,000 escort soldiers and horses led by Shen Zhong are the only little capital that the prince can really see and touch. The prince originally thought. Whether it is Yang Zhimiansheng's visit to the sick, or taking over everything such as escorting and the emperor's daily diet and daily life, it is actually insignificant. His wishful thinking was to first seek to stabilize Yang Zhi and bring 20,000 soldiers and horses into Chang'an. With Wei Su cooperating with Zhang Tianxing to suppress and contain the few forbidden troops stationed in Beijing, plus Zhao Tianyang's 3,000 inner court guards, it was more than enough to control Chang'an City. At that time, no matter how strong and untamable Yang Zhi and Geng Chao are, are they still afraid that they will not obey?

But now that Yang Zhi wants to leave 20,000 escort soldiers and horses outside Tongguan City, wouldn't it mean that an unarmed person is surrounded by tigers and wolves? What's the difference with being under house arrest? Even if he returns to Chang'an. How can you have a good night's sleep?

What kind of little Jiujiu does the prince have in his heart, if Yang Zhi can't think of it, wouldn't he be worthy of the reputation of the word "treacherous"? Every word and sentence is closely related to the theme of "refuting rumors and avoiding suspicion", and it sounds as if everything is selfless for the sake of the prince, and he is trapped step by step. Yang Zhi actually gave the prince a judgment question, of course, the tick was unwilling, and there was no sufficient reason to put it on the table. The slightest gaffe will show the fox's tail and confirm the accusations against him by "rumors". What's more, since Yang Zhi has put on such a formation, it means that this guy is not afraid of your crossing!

In this troubled era of many talents, the prince's strategy and intelligence are not outstanding. But he's not a straw bag. If you follow Yang Zhi's topic, it is undoubtedly very stupid.

The two of them have been pulling in the biting cold wind for a long time, Yang Zhi is full of energy and talking and laughing freely, although the prince has suffered a lot of sins on this expedition, but he has never tasted such a cold taste under deep worry, and his face is already faintly pale with blue.

I saw that the prince suddenly coughed violently as if he was about to cough out the lobes of his lungs, followed by several exaggerated sneezes in succession, and then changed to Yang Zhi with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and his voice suddenly raised an octave, which sounded particularly poignant in this wilderness: "Flying Tiger Marquis!" My loyalty and filial piety to my father and emperor are worthy of heaven, earth, man and god. In order to take into account the overall situation of peace and harmony between the monarchs and ministers in the whole Great Xia, how can you be so inch-inch? It's okay for you to humiliate me, and it doesn't matter if I am a little wronged. But the 20,000 soldiers under the command of General Shen first won the first battle to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then had the labor of loyal protection. Let's talk about anything. If you dare to let the escort soldiers suffer the slightest grievance, I will never agree! ”

Yang Zhi sneered in his heart and couldn't help but secretly praise: The prince's counterattack is really beautiful! The three tricks of bitter meat tricks, stealing concepts, and transferring contradictions are interlocking, and there is no trace of almost perfection. The question is whether he has figured out who is playing with him now?

The 20,000 escort soldiers were the vanguard troops under the emperor's personal transfer from the forbidden army to Shen Chong, and it was they who started the first battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, he was accepted by the emperor as an escort pro-army, and he was in the limelight in front of local officials and many people along the way. The emperor governed the army very strictly, and rewarded and punished twice. In order to grasp this trump card elite for his own use, the prince is doing his best to be "lenient and benevolent", which is easier to buy people's hearts in comparison, and in fact, it has also achieved great results.

The 20,000 escort soldiers were already proud and a little arrogant, and they were courteous and courteous all the way, but when they arrived at the door, they were blocked by Yang Zhi in the ice and snow, and many people had already complained, but they didn't dare to talk more because of Yang Zhi's prestige. was fanned by the prince's words of "deep understanding of righteousness", it was like throwing a fire into a large pile of dry firewood, and the crowd was furious and shouted: "...... What exactly did the prince do wrong? Why don't you let us in? Is there a royal law in your eyes? …… If anyone dares to be rude to the prince, it depends on whether our sword agrees or not! ”

Shen Zhong approached and looked at Yang Zhi and said, "Flying Tiger Marquis, you know that the emperor is seriously ill, but you still don't take the prince in your eyes, it can't be an intention to rebel, right?" If not, I advise you to leave anything you have to say until you have led the army into the customs! ”

Trick me into play? You're in the water! Yang Zhi shook his head pitifully at the stupid brother-in-law, and suddenly got on the horse and shouted with a hideous face: "The prince not only insisted on going his own way and did not listen to the advice, but instead incited the escort soldiers to make a rebellion, and the intention of killing his father and usurping rebellion is already obvious!" Anyone who obeys orders will be punished as traitors and thieves! ”
