Chapter 22: The Struggle for Power
When this matter was discussed, I don't know why, the news leaked and reached Guo Zixing's ears. When Guo Zixing heard these words, he was really surprised. He said to Mrs. Chen: "I said a long time ago that Zhu Yuanzhang was not so kind and would give me the army. You see it now, he's starting to think about it against me. ”
Mrs. Chen has always been a ruthless character, and she immediately persuaded Guo Zixing: "Marshal, since this is the case, why don't you take action first and eradicate Zhu Yuanzhang's gang?" As long as Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and Chu Liuyan are dead, the others are not afraid. ”
Guo Zixing listened to his wife's words, and his heart was slightly loosened. It's just that he remembered that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who gave up the 30,000 troops at the beginning, and if he was killed now, wouldn't it provoke the talker?
Seeing Guo Zixing's hesitation, Mrs. Chen immediately said: "Marshal, the so-called opportunity must not be lost, and the so-called big things are not informal, if the marshal looks forward and backward, it is easy to miss the opportunity. ”
Guo Zixing made up his mind at this time, he worked out a plan with Mrs. Chen and Guo Tianxu, and killed Zhu Yuanzhang, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu, Li Shanchang, Feng Guosheng and others at the same time. For the sake of her daughter's wishful happiness, Mrs. Chen was resolutely unwilling to kill Lan Yu at first, but after Guo Zixing persuaded her for a long time, she finally nodded and agreed. So, everything was planned. They only felt that their plan was sophisticated, almost seamless, but they never thought that maybe it was the wall that had ears, and if it was secret, someone might hear it.
On this day, Guo Zixing held a banquet in the army to entertain Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others. At the banquet, Guo Zixing first apologized for what he had done arbitrarily and alone, so under Guo Zixing's hospitality, everyone began to drink happily. Even Chu Liuyan's daughter's family drank a lot of wine.
However, not long after, everyone except Guo Zixing and Guo Tianxu fainted. It turned out that Guo Zixing's method was to put sweat medicine in the wine. If you put poison in wine, you can easily be tested with a silver needle. The sweat pill is different. The silver needle is completely undetectable with sweat medicine, so that Zhu Yuanzhang's group can be successfully subdued with sweat medicine.
Guo Zixing was overjoyed when he saw that everyone had fainted. He said: "Zhu Yuanzhang, it's not that I want your life today, but that I can't do without your life." On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? Now, you are watching from the sidelines, teaching me how Guo Zixing can rest assured? I want to take your life, but also to protect myself, I have no choice, if you go underground, don't blame me Guo Zixing. ”
After Guo Zixing finished speaking, he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground. It turned out that he and Chen had already planned to call the capable ones of the people they had brought with them early in the morning, and hide them outside, waiting for the sweat pills of the people who drank inside, and when the time came, they could be captured.
However, I don't know why, Guo Zixing's cup was thrown on the ground for a while, but there was no movement outside. Guo Zixing was shocked, he didn't know what was going on, and immediately ordered Guo Tianxu to go and check. Guo Tianxu went out for a short time, and came back immediately. He reported to Guo Zixing: "Dad, I don't know why, you and your mother have gone in ambush outside early in the morning. I don't see anyone alive, I don't see a corpse when I die, I don't know where I went? What do you think should be done? ”
"None of them are gone? So who else do you see outside? Guo Zixing began to feel that something was wrong.
Guo Tianxu shook his head and said, "I'm outside, and I haven't seen anyone. I'm just curious, where did the 100 people we carefully selected go?
Guo Zixing tried to calm himself down, he tried to be as calm as possible and said: "Son, now I can't take care of this, let's go, let's leave here immediately, and then burn this place, I can rest assured." After speaking, he pulled Guo Tianxu and was about to walk outside.
The two of them had just walked a few steps, and suddenly a shadow came to the two of them, and they looked at it, it turned out that it was not someone else, but Chu Liuyan, who was already unconscious, which made them feel a little unexpected.
Chu Liuyan didn't seem to care about this, but just asked with a smile: "Generalissimo, may I ask where you are going with the young marshal now?" ”
Guo Zixing was a little annoyed and said, "Who are you?" What does Marshal Ben do, do you still have to explain to you? ”
Chu Liuyan shook his head and said, "Of course not." It's just that if the marshal wants to hurt them, it will naturally have something to do with me. Marshal, you came to this Chuzhou City like a lost dog, if Marshal Zhu hadn't taken you in and handed over his own army to you, would you have become a marshal? However, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, and you still have to find a way to deal with Marshal Zhu, aren't you revenge? It's really a pity to die for a person like you! Chu Liuyan usually speaks, and he doesn't speak very seriously. But now, she was clearly very indignant in her heart.
Guo Zixing saw that she was just a woman, and he was not afraid in his heart, and said: "Chu Liuyan, do you think that you are really a demon in red and can seize the power of the imperial court?" In this history, isn't it just that Wu Zetian is a female emperor? If you are willing to take refuge in Marshal Ben, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food, which is definitely better than following Zhu Yuanzhang. When the time comes, with the reputation of your red-clothed demon and the military power in my hands, I will knock down the world, and I will make you the first queen of the world, how about it? ”
Chu Liuyan looked at Guo Zixing with a very compassionate look, looked at it for a while, and suddenly laughed. There was both disdain and contempt in her smile. She said to Guo Zixing: "The marshal's idea was originally good. It's just that even if I am willing to agree, then are others willing? ”
After speaking, Chu Liuyan looked towards the middle of the banquet. What surprised Guo Zixing was that the people at the banquet were originally unconscious from sweat and medicine, but for some reason, after hearing Chu Liuyan's words, they all raised their heads.
If Guo Zixing was only a little surprised when he saw Chu Liuyan wake up at first, then now he is surprised. Obviously, the sweat medicine can't be found, but why are they all good, obviously there is no sign of the sweat pill?
Chang Yuchun first pointed at Guo Zixing's nose and scolded: "Guo Zixing, you are too much!" The boss has ceded the military power to you, not only do you not know how to be grateful to Dade, but you actually want to kill us to prevent future troubles, people like you should really be cut with a thousand knives! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang finally stood up slowly, and he said slowly: "Father-in-law, I sincerely gave you the army, and these troops were all made by me and my brothers. But you, you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and you want to kill me. If it weren't for someone who told us, we would all be unjustly killed today. Father-in-law, I don't have anything to say now, I just hope that my father-in-law can focus on the overall situation and hand over the military power! ”
"What do you say? Huangkou Xiao'er is still stubborn, and wants me Guo Zixing to hand over the military power, it was you who asked for it a lot at the beginning, so I am willing to accept your military power. But now, when you see that I have done a good job of the army, you want to drive me out of here, you are so hateful. Guo Zixing is still vibrant.
"Your Excellency, it's useless to say anything now. I advise you to give up your military power for the sake of your net worth and life. Otherwise, I, Xu Da, can guarantee that you will never take a step here! Xu Da persecuted.
"Good! Good! You guys are so nice! Guo Zixing suddenly laughed: "Until now, I will never hand over the military power." Either you just kill me Guo Zixing, or you just let me go and let me continue to be my marshal, and I can not pursue today's matter with you! ”
"Hmph, I said Guo Zixing, you don't want to dream big dreams in the sky. I always tell you responsibly that this is your burial place today! Chang Yuchun said indignantly.
"What? This is my burial place? Can you believe it? I don't believe it. I absolutely don't believe you're going to kill me! Because, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang kills me today, the people of the world will know that Zhu Yuanzhang used to take me in and give me military power, and all the good things he did in the past were planned by himself. Now that they see that I have taken care of the army, they have reversed course and wanted to take back the military power. Zhu Yuanzhang, do you think it will be so easy? If your reputation spreads, I'm afraid that no one will come to you again. Because people in the world will treat you Zhu Yuanzhang as a capricious villain! ”
Guo Zixing was a little flustered at first, but now he has calmed down. He just calculated that Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill him. Zhu Yuanzhang spent so many twists and turns, and finally won a good reputation, how could he give up so easily?
"You ......" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed and angry when Guo Zixing said something.
Lan Yu suddenly smiled, and there was a strange smile on his extremely handsome face. He slowly stepped forward and walked to Guo Zixing and Guo Tianxu's side. He suddenly pulled out his sword, and grabbed Guo Tianxu in his hand with his other hand. Lan Yu said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Guo Zixing, everyone knows that Guo Tianxu is your biological son and your only son. I don't think you want to see your son in danger. If you pick it up, hand it over! Lan Yu threatened Guo Zixing and said.
Guo Zixing glanced at Guo Tianxu, and his face showed infinite attachment, but that feeling quickly dispersed.
Guo Zixing finally turned his face, and he said to Lan Yu: "It's always just me Guo Zixing who wants to coerce others, and no one can coerce me, hmph." Aren't you going to kill Guo Tianxu? Okay, if you want to kill, you can be chopped at will. Even if I really took my son's life, I would not return the military power to Zhu Yuanzhang like this. When Guo Zixing said these words, his tone was very firm.
