Chapter 403 Stone

The "woman" on the shelf is very terrifying, maybe it is not a complete person, because the arms and legs of the person are gone, only a head and torso are left motionless and naked, such a person can no longer put on clothes, so he can only cover the Taoist priest with something to let everyone see, and he did not cover it immediately, but let this naked and terrifying thing openExposed in sight

"She's still alive?" Zhang Renyuan couldn't help but ask

The person next to her nodded and said, "After the gangster left, Lang found that she still had a breath, but she was blind, deaf, and even her tongue was cut out, so now she doesn't know where she is, can't hear us, and can't speak to us."

Speaking of this, I saw that Liu Qibaiyue and the others all clenched their fists, and Lao Dao gritted his teeth and said: "Why didn't Zhou Bin cut her off directly, and grind people like this?" ”

Zhang Renyuan said: "Zhou Bin is a cool official, he is a person who takes pleasure in tyranny, I heard that a few years ago, he was asked to take care of Liu Youqiu's rebellion case, and he also turned people's families into such 'radish people' (people who have no limbs and only torso)"

"Breaking him into pieces will not atone for his sins! How can such a person get away with it? Lao Dao gritted his teeth and said, "The imperial court would protect such a beast, where is the justice?" Where is the royal law? ”

Zhang Ren said: "Whoever has the power is the king's law, and if you want to bring a wicked person like Zhou Bin to justice, you must first get rid of the Taiping and Xue clans, the two first evils who usurped the throne and did evil...... Otherwise, such a tragedy will happen, and we can only sigh but the thief is powerful, we are not an opponent, the current plan can only be pinned on the Taoist, hoping that the Taoist can get rid of these two heinous thieves, the people are very happy, and the society is very happy! ”

Taoist priest Zhengse said: "The former King of Qin***, the aspirant Jing Ke carried the sword and did not look back, leaving behind the swan song of the wind and the cold, and today the poor Dao is also willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness!" With that, he looked at the two assistants below

Liu Qi and Baiyue were already filled with righteous indignation when they saw such a tragic situation, an innocent woman who had just become a bride became like this, what a tragedy, ordinary people would be angry with the murderer...... And Baiyue's sight of the woman on the shelf evoked her childhood memories, all kinds of sins that occurred in the family when her family was raided and exterminated, and some people were cut into "turnip people" by those brutal officials, and they made fun of it......

Baiyue took two steps forward without hesitation, knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to follow the lord to eliminate evil and promote good, and swear to kill the thief!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Qi also hurriedly bowed and said: "A certain wish to go"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Renyuan asked them to go to the secret room, and began to arrange the assassins, and the preparations here were somewhat troublesome, and Zhang Renyuan sent people to connect with the Turkic cavalry while preparing, and all aspects of the matter entered the practical stage

Zhang Renyuan has already made up his mind to rebel! He also has the foundation for the uprising, according to the usual way of rebellion, it is nothing more than to occupy a place and then recruit troops to expand around to launch a rebellion war, but he himself knows that there is a huge disparity in strength, so before announcing a rebellion, he must find a way to get rid of Princess Taiping and Xue Chongxun, in case it succeeds, then the situation can become very favorable

At this time, he hadn't revealed his intentions, and even wrote a recital and sent it back to Guanzhong

…… His presentation from the border pass is not about military affairs, it is said that there is a Taoist priest who has traveled the world found a very ancient stone in the deep mountains, and the old Tao sent the stone to the government with words on it

"A stone with words in the mountains?" Princess Taiping muttered with a smile

When Xue Chongxun heard this sentence, he guessed the content of *** points, isn't it the same thing as the stone that was carved out of the Yellow River? I'm afraid that Princess Taiping is also like a mirror in her heart, she has experienced the whole process of her biological mother Wu Zetian's usurpation of the throne before, what kind of tricks to seal Mount Tai and the Yellow River out of stone, what has she not done?

However, Xue Chongxun didn't say anything, so he just sat there silently drinking tea and listening to Princess Qin Taiping occasionally glance at him, and saw that he had nothing to say, so he said to himself: "Chongxun, do you think that the stone mentioned in this piece was found by a Taoist priest or was Zhang Ren willing to find someone to carve it himself?" ”

"I'm afraid he did it himself, and the old way and the like are all pretenses," Xue Chongxun said truthfully

Princess Taiping said slowly: "Look at Zhang Renyuan, in the end, he is an experienced and knowledgeable minister, and if he does something, he is much more experienced than the young emperor, and the emperor will abdicate in Beijing for a while, but what is the use in the end; Looking at Zhang Renyuan again, he didn't say anything, so he made up a Taoist priest to find a stone, but he didn't say anything......"

"Yes" Xue Chongxun cautiously responded to the question that Princess Taiping had not clearly stated the throne until now, and he had been waiting, not wanting to show his desire to be the emperor at all, so as to avoid arousing Princess Taiping's feelings and resistance

To this day, Xue Chongxun still thinks that the key point of the whole event is Princess Taiping, he only cares about Princess Taiping's choice, and other things are not taken into account at all...... As long as Princess Taiping supports herself, all problems are no longer problems, as long as she co-opts all the people who can be co-opted, and then uses force to solve their common enemies, how simple it is; In case she still cared about the Li family's social affairs, Xue Chongxun would not dare to act rashly, because their mother and son had too many power exchanges, and a confrontation would only hurt both sides, and no one would benefit

Princess Taiping continued: "Don't use the emperor's method, you have to make more preparations like Zhang Renyuan's idea, some things are not in a hurry, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it."

Is she testing herself by saying this? Xue Chongxun's heart tightened, and he paused and didn't answer immediately Xue Chongxun has been figuring out her mother's psychology, although she often shows favor to herself, and there must be many considerations such as feelings and interdependence, but she is actually not easy to make up her mind...... After all, betraying her ancestors is a very strict thing, and her surname Li can never be changed

Xue Chongxun did not follow Princess Taiping's words rashly, he hurriedly said: "Mother Mingjian, this is not a matter of method, and the son doesn't want to do that."

"Hehe......" Princess Taiping laughed shallowly, her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through people's minds, and the pressure on Xue Chongxun was very great

Princess Taiping gently tapped on the table again: "Do you want him to send this stone of benevolence over to take a look?" ”

"What's the point of seeing such things, if we let him send someone to send this thing back, won't the discerning person be sure of our ambitions?" Xue Chongxun said

"Zhang Renyuan ......" Princess Taiping read the name again, frowned, "This person has made great contributions to the imperial court, but in recent years, he has rarely been in Beijing, and the person who is far from me and the person in charge of the army is not our person, which is not a good thing, and this time he took this opportunity to show me his position: he sent a stone like this, which is a credit to me; And in others it is a handle and a stain, a sufficient proof of punishment...... That's why I want him to send that stone over to see what the words are on it, and to see where a feudal official is."

Since the Taiping Duke wants to do this, then the ambition is not on Xue Chongxun's head, what reason does he have to oppose it? So he immediately agreed: "But let your mother decide."

Princess Taiping said to Yu Liben, who was standing aside: "You call the court doctor of Menxia Province to reply, and Zhang Ren is willing to ask."

Yu Liben hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yes, the slave will do it immediately"

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun suddenly realized a little mystery, the ancient "sage" was on top, and he almost never took it by himself, but kept resigning, and only when he couldn't resign did he "reluctantly" agree to everyone's persuasion This kind of dry method is not only a matter of form, but in fact, the process of prevarication is waiting for the time to mature, so as to reduce resistance as much as possible

For example, now, if he is thinking about how to usurp the throne, maybe Princess Taiping and other forces will be worried and evolve into their enemies, but let go, don't force her or persuade her, let her figure it out for herself will be much more reliable

Xue Chongxun thinks that her mother will eventually stand on her side, one of the reasons is too many, even if Princess Taiping chooses "loyalty", future generations will still give her an infamy, and all kinds of unbearable things will be deducted from her head; On the contrary, she ruined Li Tang's country for her own selfishness, but she may gain a good name, and all kinds of bad things will be covered up in this world, not if she does good things, if she does bad things, there will be retribution

At this time, the Taiping princess got up to go back to the Changchun Hall after finishing his business, Xue Chongxun was busy making a very filial appearance to help her, Princess Taiping's mouth showed a smile, and put the white hand in Xue Chongxun's palm When she helped Xue Chongxun's hand to stand up, Xue Chongxun saw the skin on her neck and hair again, perhaps because of the black hair, the skin was even whiter, clean, fragrant, and soft, Xue Chongxun liked this feeling very much

He looked unhurried, always by Princess Taiping's side, and didn't do anything serious...... Because he thinks that when the time is not ripe, it is better to do nothing than to be idle, in short, his current state of mind is more optimistic, but he still needs to wait, when will it be considered mature? Maybe when the general trend comes, the blind will be able to see it

In the face of the vast general trend, strategy and so on are secondary, and there are two things that are more important to the characters in this than others: patience, living a long time, Sima Yi is better than Zhuge Liang, that is, he lives a long time, and his opponents are dead
