Chapter 310: Testing the Waters
Xing Tianze didn't have the slightest worry about this, because he clearly knew that from the moment he knew that he had sent a killer, he was already thinking about who to send to take over the seven counties of Jiangnan in the hands of the Gongsun family.
Now Xing Tianze has a lot of dependent forces in his hands, and the Wang family in the east has always been loyal to him, because the young master of the Wang family participated in the Battle of Baiyue at the beginning, and he served as a soldier under the fifth prince.
It's just that Xing Tianze didn't know the identity of the other party at that time, and he also blocked an arrow for Young Master Wang in the army of ten thousand troops, and pulled the other party back from the door of the ghost gate.
Afterwards, the Wang family said that no matter whether Xing Tianze became good or defeated, the Wang family would follow behind him and fully support him.
In addition, there is also the Tang Sect in Shu, which is quite prestigious in the rivers and lakes, and after disappearing for so many years, it is necessary to choose the method of breaking the earth in order to inspire ordinary people's memories of them.
In addition, there are many ministers in the court, as well as the Situ family, who have a simulated attitude, and the Yin family, who has always been a big tree with deep roots.
Whether these forces pull that one out, they are all behemoths that will tremble three times when they stomp their feet,
Especially the Wang family has always wanted to stretch their hands inland over the years, and the south is definitely their best choice.
As for the Tang Sect, although it is rich in strength, it is simply a Jianghu sect, no matter how high its status in Shu is, but if it wants to eat the entire Jiangnan from the hands of the Gongsun family, it still seems that it is a little more than enough and not enough.
In addition, whether it is the Yin family or the Situ family, they are two important chess pieces that Xing Tianze must put in the capital, which is the biggest support for him to be able to deal with the emperor in this situation.
Although it is good to help them strengthen their strength, they should never move out unless they have to.
As for those ministers, Xing Tianze naturally couldn't all be sent to the Jiangnan region, and he still used people in the capital.
After thinking about it and analyzing it, Xing Tianze was the only one who could use it, and he could just take advantage of this opportunity to pull them out to test the water.
Look at the Wang family who was the original shock and punishment of Zhaoguo, how much power is left now.
Just after Traceless said such a long list, Xing Tianze dropped a white piece on the chessboard, and all the offensive and defensive forces formed by the black group were all in vain.
"The prince is really a good chess player, and he lost this game of chess!" Traceless smiled and waved his hand.
"All right, you don't have to pretend to be in front of this king." Xing Tianze put the few chess pieces he had been holding in his hand into the chess cup: "This matter is so decided, this king will immediately go back to the study to write a letter and send someone to send it to Wang's house quickly." ”
"How can you let the prince do such a trivial matter, or let me go and do it for me!" After saluting without a trace, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped and turned around: "The prince should stay here and taste the delicacies made by the princess, and then retire first!" ”
The corners of Xing Tianze's mouth shook violently several times when he heard this, because he had already smelled an indescribable smell, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Tao Mingxi holding a plate of colorful things, walking towards him with a smile.
As soon as he thought of the half-baked steak he had eaten before, Xing Tianze's stomach couldn't help but tumble with sour water, but he couldn't reflect it in front of Tao Mingxi......
In the afternoon of the same day, a carriage hurried into the palace and did not stop until it reached the entrance of the Imperial Hospital, and then five or six imperial doctors carefully lifted a man of more than thirty people from the carriage.
The eunuch who followed hurriedly turned around and ran towards the imperial study, I have to say that Gongsun Yan's life is really hard, and he has been able to survive such a serious injury and has not lost his breath until now.
Then all the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital drained the water of Gongsun Yanwei, and on the way, the imperial doctors had already pulled out two of his arrows and gave him herbal medicine to stop the bleeding.
But Gongsun Yan was having a high fever at this time, and his breath was already coming and going, and he was about to be unable to lift it in one breath.
Two moments later, the emperor personally came to the Tai Hospital, and he had already heard the eunuch say the specific situation, and the journey to the capital was not easy, they had experienced a total of four ambushes by killers.
The hundreds of guards who followed Gongsun Yan at the beginning, as well as the thirty masters hired by him with a lot of money, were all killed, and even the eunuch was almost shot off his horse by an arrow from the killer.
For the emperor, Gongsun Yan is too important, he is concerned with the direction of the whole situation.
So much so that when all the imperial doctors knelt on the ground, the emperor issued a holy decree in a very cold tone, if Gongsun Yan died in the imperial hospital, then all the imperial doctors who treated him would not want to live, and the whole family would be exiled for a thousand miles, and they would all be reduced to slavery within five generations, and they would never be hired by the imperial court.
This frightened these imperial doctors one by one when they were treating Gongsun Yan, all of them became sweaty, and even the arm holding the silver needle was shaking.
At the same time, the news of Gongsun Yan's entry into the palace spread within a quarter of an hour, and almost the officials of the entire capital were boiling, and many ministers entered the palace to see if he was dead or alive.
This is a big man who can decide the direction of the pattern, and the courtiers who support Xing Tianze all don't want him to die quickly.
However, the officials who supported the emperor almost did not kneel on the ground, begging God to let Gongsun Yan survive this difficulty.
However, everyone understands why Gongsun Yan was killed, but no one dares to say it, after all, everyone knows these things.
At the same time, many smart people can see that Xing Tianze is making an example of chickens and monkeys, telling those who have wavered so far to see the situation clearly.
In addition, let those who support Xing Tianze pay attention to the fact that if they dare to do something to defect, their fate will definitely not be lighter than that of Gongsun Yan.
As for those who oppose Xing Tianze, naturally there is no need to say that they can only be described as sitting on pins and needles, and no one dares to guarantee that this kind of thing will not fall on them, and they must be careful in what they say and act in the future.
"Gongsun Yan is not dead yet?" Traceless looked at the bamboo slip in his hand in surprise, with a somewhat self-deprecating smile on his face.
"It's not dead, it's just that I didn't swallow it in one breath." Xing Tianze drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp: "Didn't Xuan Shu leave some medicine before leaving the capital?" You can just find one for Gongsun Yan to eat. ”
Xing Tianze touched his abdomen with one hand and frowned slightly, because at noon, under Tao Mingxi's persecution, the fifth prince finally tasted the taste of forcibly eating something he didn't want to eat for the first time in his life.
"It's easy to let Gongsun Yan die, but I'm thinking about one thing, what should the emperor do at this time?" A meaningful look flashed in Traceless' eyes.
Xing Tianze nodded knowingly, rubbed his abdomen and walked out of the study.
