Chapter 57: A Delaying Tactic
"Uncle Shi, did you succeed?" When Guo Ziyu saw Baili Xionger, he was overjoyed. Because Yuji Baili can get out of the way, it should be a success. But when he saw Yuji Baili's gloomy face, he suddenly felt ominous in his heart.
"You rabbit, let me go without figuring out the situation? Do you know that I almost didn't come back. If it weren't for that man's willingness to let me go, I'm afraid this life would have been left there. Baili Xiongji looked at Guo Ziyu and was angry. Angry.
"Who's going?" Guo Ziyu was shocked, and what he was worried about became a reality. The swallow's injury was indeed a bad omen.
"A much better character than me. Although I don't know what his name is, I infer that it should be Bai Lu, who has been more active in recent years on the hero list. Baili Yuji gritted his teeth, but his skills were not as good as others, so he couldn't help others.
"What? Bai Lu appeared? I remember that he would not ask about the royal affairs, who invited him out of the mountain? Could it be Wang Ziyu? It's impossible, my intelligence shows that Wang Ziyu doesn't know Bai Lu. Wang Ziyu was shocked. Even the existence that is close to the first place on the hero list has moved, what kind of rhythm is this? Is the sky going to kill my Guo family?
"Fortunately, that person didn't want to have a grudge with my Baili family, so he took the initiative to let me go. Otherwise, I'm afraid my old life will be confessed there. ”
"He took the initiative to let you go?" Guo Ziyu thought it was incredible.
"Yes. And not only did he appear, but there was also a fairy-like woman with kung fu who was also at the top ten of the hero list, and there was also Master Yunqing of Wufeng Mountain who also came. There is another person, I don't know, who seems to be from the capital. Yuji Baili recalled the scene at that time, and his heart was cold. It seems that although the rivers and lakes outside are wonderful, they are too dangerous. In the future, it's better to stay at home and practice. I don't know if this emperor is willing to give this opportunity. If you don't give it, then there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the future. 、
"Uncle Shi, then hurry back to Feidu Villa. It's not safe here. Although Emperor Sima Hong is helpless against the prime minister's family for a while, if he asks to hand over your old man's house, it will be troublesome. This is a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, and you take the flowers on the road. As long as you leave the capital, you are safe. Guo Ziyu said, took a silver ticket, and stuffed it into Baili Xiongji's backpack.
"Then you should hurry up and think about what to do. If it really doesn't work, you can leave the capital as soon as possible and go to your uncle's territory, in that case, Sima Hong will not embarrass you. After Baili Yuji finished speaking, he quickly left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Guo Ziyu told Guo Deshuang the news, Guo Deshuang was almost scared, and collapsed on the Taishi chair all of a sudden, unable to speak for a long time, his hands kept trembling, he wanted to drink water, and he couldn't pick up the teacup.
"Father, don't be nervous at this time. Since Uncle Shi has been exposed, as long as Uncle Shi is not in their hands, there is no evidence that we let him do it, and this matter can still be denied. Moreover, my vacation is basically over, and the current situation between the DPRK and China will not be able to find a chance to bring down this old thief for a while. The crown prince can't see any signs of being able to take the throne for the time being. I'll go back to the army right away. In this way, you are in the court, I am in the army, no matter what the emperor knows, he will not dare to act rashly. Guo Ziyu's mind is still very clear. In this way, it is equivalent to supporting the army and respecting itself. If Sima Hong dares to be unfavorable to Prime Minister Guo Deshuang, then take advantage of the situation to raise troops. Although it is impossible to swallow the rivers and mountains of the Daluo Empire immediately, it will at least tear a hole in this ostensibly peaceful empire. Calling on other forces with intentions to openly rebel, once this dynasty is divided, with their strength, they can quickly break through one by one and unify Daluo.
So, if you miss a blow in front of you, you don't need to panic anything.
"Well, my son, without further ado. You leave immediately and return to the army. Guo Deshuang heard it, too. It's not the end of the world, why are you so nervous, the confidence is here, and the mind has regained clarity.
So, Guo De's family, the second to leave the capital was Guo Ziyu. Baili Xionger and Guo Ziyu left the capital one after the other, and they were all watched by the people of the fifth prince Sima Qiu. The reconnaissance ability of his subordinates is still very strong, let alone such an obvious target. When Sima Qiu received the news, he immediately reported to his father, Sima Hong. Wang Ziyu was also present at that time.
"Ziyu, what do you say to deal with?" Sima Hong looked at Wang Ziyu. He trusts Wang Ziyu very much. Wang Ziyu's arrangement this time, although he did not kill the assassin, but at least the prince and the prime minister showed their feet, found some faults, and suppressed it, it is still possible. Even if it is more difficult to move directly, it is still possible to take the opportunity to make some moves and rebuild the balance of power.
"Let them go."
"Why don't you catch them all?" The fifth prince, Sima Qiu, asked in a deep voice. His attitude towards these rebellions is that the sooner the better.
"Fifth Highness, if you want to kill Guo Ziyu, or Baili Xionger, we can have a thousand or ten thousand ways to die. Let them die, that's what we're after. But we don't have to take that anger on ourselves. Now there are frequent troubles on the border, and in fact, it is actually the people of the prince's line of the joint prime minister, who are entangled in the actions of external forces. In this case, if we act too aggressively, such as directly capturing Guo Ziyu and Baili Yuji, it will inevitably push the entire Guo family and Baili family into the chariot, at this moment, if they unite with external forces and attack the imperial family together, may I ask Your Highness the Fifth, is the army we can currently deploy enough to resist? Wang Ziyu analyzed.
"Yes, but it's tough." The Fifth Prince frowned.
"Yes, even if it can be won, it will be a pyrrhic victory. It is very likely that the outcome will be that we will destroy them, and we may only have tens of thousands of soldiers left to fight. When the time comes, if other forces rise up and reap the benefits of the fisherman, then how will we deal with it? Wouldn't that be the end of the Daluo Empire? ”
"Yes. There is a high probability that this will happen. But let the tiger go back to the mountain? Sima Qiu still has a lot of concerns. Indeed, once the tiger returns to the mountain, once the other party is allowed to breathe, the next attack will be even more violent.
"It's fine. Now that the enemy is alert, we must find a way to paralyze them. This time, the crown prince can only be held accountable slightly, and it is not appropriate to hold the prime minister accountable. This divides them and does the least damage. And to hold the prince accountable, don't hold him accountable publicly, just dispose of it privately, and admonish him with family affairs. Then, we will immediately start the next major task......" Speaking of this, Wang Ziyu looked at Emperor Sima Hong. Sima Hong touched his nose, do I have a task on my face? I didn't expect that yet.
"Your Majesty, the concubine candidates selected by the whole country have entered Beijing one after another, and it is time to prepare a feast for the selection of concubines. In order to paralyze the opponent, the minister asks His Majesty to appoint the minister with full authority to arrange this year's concubine selection process, and asks His Majesty for his permission. When Wang Ziyu said this, he immediately bowed and saluted.
