[Chapter 4, Volume 4]

Section 475

"Wei Xinyong entered the Sikong Mansion three times twice at night, and did not leave until dawn." Shen Xuan frowned, and said to the left and right staff, "When he didn't meet with Song Yuwang, he was bumped into a few times and seemed to have contact with the crown prince...... It is said that the prince went to Zhou Baolin's wedding house yesterday, sat for a day and a night, and did not return to the East Palace until noon today. What do you think? ”

Nian Qiao said first: "It's nothing more than a change of day." ”

…… Everyone was going to talk slowly, but they didn't want him to be unscrupulous, so they said such a heart-wrenching sentence as soon as they opened their mouths, and even Shen Xuan, Shen Zhou and Shen Zangfeng were stunned for a moment before they smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Lemu, please tell me more." ”

Horizontally and vertically, this guy has opened his words. At this time, since he was not tied up and entered the palace to ask for guilt, it was better to simply get straight to the point - now the situation is treacherous, Chenguang is precious, but I don't have the time to play with these staff, and I have to say thank you again and again before I was ordered to do that - at this moment, in the study are also the trusted henchmen of the Shen family.

Nian Jiao said lightly: "The strategy offered by the prince before the emperor is not like what the prince can think of. Now it seems that it is likely to be the handwriting of Wei Xinyong. This move seems to reassure everyone, but in fact, whether it is the Shen family or the Su family, both the commander of the Liu family's army, even if they can win, how can they win a big victory? The most hopeful, of course, is a crushing victory. ”

Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou glanced at each other and didn't say anything—it was a tacit acquiescence.

The Shen family and the Liu family robbed the military salary for a hundred years, and now that the troubled times are coming, the army is the foundation of the business. And if there is a chance, maybe the two families can also have some ambitions.

Since there is a chance to weaken the other party, how can you let it go?

This is also the reason why when Taishi Duanmu Xing and Situ Weiyu took the lead in kneeling in the palace, the Shen family and the Su family came later. Yanzhou's baggage can't be transferred to Xiliang and Qingzhou, so for the Shen family and the Su family, letting Yanzhou stay in Lu Haozhi's hands for a few more days will make the Liu family more stressed and lose more, which is a tacit purpose.

"Yanzhou must be recovered, but it is not easy to recover." Nian Xue said, "The saint is worried that the Liu family will do something unsubsuming under the guise of recovering Yanzhou - in fact, it is not all the saint who is worried about the sky, because Yanzhou is too close to the imperial capital!" Therefore, Wei Xinyong's strategy is actually the most suitable for the imperial court and for the five valves except for the Liu family. The generals of the Shu clan couldn't suppress the group of arrogant generals of the Liu family, and it was impossible for the Liu family to attack Yanzhou without arrogant generals...... Even if they send elite divisions now, aren't the reports of these two battles not optimistic? The only one who can suppress the elite private soldiers of the valve reading is the generals who are born in the children of the valve reading, and this plan can indeed ensure that the Yanzhou rebellion will not continue, and will not give the Liu family the opportunity to sit big or rebel.

"If the Holy One adopts it, the prince will be meritorious; If the prince hadn't adopted it, the prince would have been wiser than the saint, wouldn't he? Nian Qixue said lightly, "Since offering this plan, Wei Xinyong has been ready to persuade the prince or help the prince seize the throne." And even if the other five valves hope that the change in Yanzhou can drag down the Liu family, but the Liu family is still guarding the northern frontier, which really forces them to be anxious, and simply gives up the path to the imperial capital, and then the fun will be great...... This plan is also equivalent to giving each family a step, and the Holy One does not allow it, but all the families have been dragged into the water to hide from the world, and it is safer to meet the wrath of the Holy One together. But what's the Song family's business? Song Sikong didn't know if it was expected or really coincidental, he had been ill since the beginning of spring to the present, Jiangnan reported a funeral two days ago, and Mrs. Wei died of illness, and he couldn't even stay and couldn't go back to mourn. After Situ Weiyu consulted with the hundred officials, he and his eldest son Song Zaijiang took the favor - but he hasn't been able to get up until now? ”

An elderly staff member stroked his long beard and said in a deep voice: "Sikong Mansion is now only Song Sikong and his eldest son Song Zaijiang, and the rest have returned to Jiangnan to mourn. Since Wei Xinyong went to Sikong Mansion, the person he met must be one of these two people. And he is a night visit, hiding people's eyes and ears, and it will not be a simple visit. But if it is related to the prince, how can he find the Song family first? It should be the Liu family. ”

Shen Xuan glanced at Shangguan Eleven in the corner, but saw this young strategist who was said to be talented and above the young man sitting quietly like a virgin, his eyes were lowered, but he had no intention of speaking.

He groaned for a while, and was about to speak, but he heard another white-faced and slightly haired staff member say: "Back then, the eldest lady of the Song family became the crown princess, but she asked to withdraw from the marriage due to an accident. Although the horse who nominally pulled the cart was frightened, the palace also took care of it afterwards. But it didn't take long to choose the daughter of the Liu family, is it just a coincidence that Miss Song broke her appearance, and Queen Gu originally had the intention of abandoning Song and choosing Liu? Even Miss Song's broken appearance is related to Queen Gu? ”

"Even so, Miss Song is now the wife of the Su family, and I heard that Su Yuwu treated her very well, and this time Mrs. Wei passed away, and even personally accompanied her to the south to mourn." The elder staff member shook his head and said, "The former prince is not a good match, Song Sikong is only one daughter, maybe he also thinks that it is a good thing to withdraw from the marriage?" Even if Song Sikong regrets this marriage, it is such a big deal to change the day, and it is impossible to take such a risk for a daughter who gets married. Song Sikong is not the only one under his knees, but Miss Song is not the only heir! ”

Nian Xue said: "There is another possibility: Song Sikong fainted when he was on a business trip two years ago, and once asked Ji to go for diagnosis and treatment. In the past two years, his health has been good and bad, and the reason why the Song family has not been involved this time is because Song Sikong has been sick since the first month, and there has been no news of recovery or obvious improvement until now? Jiang Nantang's two generations of heirs are very thin, Song Zaijiang and Song Zaitian are two brothers, although Song Zaijiang is shrewd, but he is not old enough to be old and spicy when he is there. Song Zaitian is a well-known kind-hearted person among the children of Valve, and the city government is not deep. Is Song Sikong worried that the situation will drag on, if he can't see things due to illness, his second son will be unable to cope with the increasingly chaotic situation, so he hopes to cut through the chaos quickly? ”

"That's right." Everyone stared for a moment, and they all bowed slightly, "Jiang Nantang's current heirs are indeed too thin, Song Sikong was young and fair when he was in the prime of life, and Duan Huigong was in charge of it." But now that Duanhui Gong is old, Song Sikong's health has not been good, so it's no wonder that he is not at ease. ”

"In this way, Wei Xinyong visited Sikong Mansion at night, and Song Sikong was probably also involved in the prince's side." The elder staff member said, "Song Sikong wants to use the skill of Cong Long in exchange for some blessings for his descendants, and Wei Xinyong needless to say, this person is talented, how can he be willing to bury it?" Now the problem is a matter of changing the day! ”

Except for Shangguan Eleven, all the staff members set their eyes on Shen Xuan - the staff members were only responsible for analyzing and making ideas, but the decision was made by the lord.

Shen Xuan quietly glanced at his brother Shen Zhou and his son Shen Zangfeng, and saw that both of them had calm faces, groaned slightly, and said, "Please also ask Mr. Sun to talk about it in the long run." ”

This is to ask the older staff surnamed Sun to describe the possibilities under various decisions.

The staff surnamed Sun is delicate and the best at analysis, and at this moment, he was instructed, and said without hesitation: "The Holy Lord Yuan does not agree with the prince's performance, this time the scholars have joined forces to hide the sky and the sea, which is not trivial!" If the saint endures it and allows him to say a heart-wrenching word, then he will not be far from the puppet. In addition, the saint has always been wary of the scholars, so this time the saint will be furious and furious if he knows the truth! At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to step down! ”

"At that point, it's either a matter of sitting back or being forced to die."

The staff surnamed Sun said, "It is not advisable to sit back and wait for death, and it is natural to act in a hurry as a last resort." Therefore, I think that since the war in Yanzhou is not going well, it is better to take advantage of the fact that there is still some light and have a spring breeze and rain. After all, if there is chaos today, if the regeneration of the center is unpredictable, I am afraid that Yu Limin will be even worse! ”

Now that the flames of the civil uprising have risen in all directions, it is no secret that Wei Zuo has declined. If there is another matter of the scholar clan killing the king or the blood of the saints, I am afraid that chaos will directly sweep the world.

The chaos in the world was expected by the Shen family, but the problem was that it had been arranged before, and the Xiliang army that had entered the Central Plains in large numbers by escorting Wei Changying's mother and son was still in Xiliang......

Therefore, the staff surnamed Sun suggested: "The valve owner might as well prepare secretly, wait a few days, and think about it, and send someone to discuss major matters from now on." After all, Song Sikong and Wei Xinyong alone may not be able to afford such a sky-changing move. ”

He also said, "The situation is chaotic, and the third young lady and the fourth grandson who are still in Xiliang should take back to the imperial capital as soon as possible." ”

At this point, Shen Xuan also bowed slightly: "Feng'er, you go back and ask them when they will leave, if there is nothing urgent, urge it, in extraordinary times, everything is safety." ”

Picking up Wei Changying and others also means that the Shen family's henchmen will arrive, and at that time, whether it is chaos or chaos, the Shen family will also have something to rely on.

Speaking of which, because Shen Zangfeng killed the Di people in advance and was greatly injured and divided, now that there is no war in Xiliang, he is already one step ahead of the Liu family. Even if Wugumeng escaped from the depths of the grassland, with the damage suffered by Qiu Di in the past two years, especially the large number of cattle and sheep that he had to discard when he fled away this year, he would not have thought of returning to their original scale for more than ten years—so Xiliang only needed to leave a small number of soldiers to defend it.

As Shen Zangfeng expected, the Shen family was able to spare most of their strength and energy to participate in this chaotic era due to their foresight!

——The times create heroes, and in this troubled world, the Shen family has taken the lead...... Shen Xuan and the others, although their faces were calm, they all had endless ambitions in their hearts......

…… The estimation of the staff surnamed Sun was very accurate, and two days later, Wei Xinyong came to visit in person. After seeing Shen Xuan, he did not hide it, and bluntly proposed that the saint was old and mediocre, but the prince was young and virtuous, and he should ask the saint to abdicate and recuperate as the emperor, so that the prince would ascend the throne as the emperor and personally supervise the government.

Before seeing him, Shen Xuan received the news that Su Xiuwei and Shen Zangli had failed to attack Yanzhou City, and he was in no mood to go around in circles, and after a perfunctory sentence, he politely expressed his approval.

This reply was expected by Wei Xinyong, so he got a reply, and after a little greeting, he left.

In the next few days, Wei Xinyong visited the rest of the houses one by one, and they all got promises.

This night, he took advantage of the night to go to Sikong Mansion again and reported back to Song Yuwang.

After hearing this, Song Yuwang frowned and said, "Why is there no Wei Yu?" "Wei Yu is an old minister with extremely deep qualifications in the DPRK, although he is not liked by the saint because he is too upright, and his popularity is average, but his prestige and influence are not low.

What's more, he is still the person with the highest status in the court of the Fengzhou Wei clan now, and he should not bypass him in any reason.

Wei Xinyong said: "This person's reputation for uprightness is all over the government and the opposition, and it is against the courtiers to do this today, so that he knows, can he not let him go to the informant?" Fortunately, the Taishi has been sick for many days, and the government has pressed on him alone, plus the other families tacitly help cover it up, otherwise if he finds out, the best result is that he will not go to the saint, but will try to stop me and others! ”

"He's not so confused." Song Yuwang shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be much easier if he joins in this matter, after all, he is an old minister of the two dynasties, and now he independently supports the politics of the DPRK and China." It is impossible to involve all the officials in such a major event, and afterwards, it is also necessary to have enough people of high moral standing to come out to appease the ministers, such prestige, and now only Taishi and Wei Yu are the most suitable in the court. But Taishi has been ill for a long time and may not have this energy. ”

Wei Xinyong said indifferently: "If Sikong is sorry, you can go and persuade in person." But I don't go, this Wei Situ likes gentlemen and hates villains, and he was born with a pair of sharp eyes. I abandoned the knowledge of the main hall into the Ruiyu Hall, in his eyes there was already a suspicion of disliking the poor and loving the rich, and then returned to the imperial capital, mediated the various families, and earned a thin name, in his opinion, he was also a treacherous and smooth person, but he was a complete villain. I don't want to touch this nail! ”

Song Yuwang heard that Wei Xinyong must have suffered a loss in Wei Yu's hands, frowned slightly, and then said: "Since this is the case, then it's better to hide it from him first." It's just that the lord of the guard valve is on his side, but he wants to tell it. ”

"It's nature." Wei Xinyong laughed at herself, "Fengzhou actually doesn't need me to tell you...... And Wei Situ, I want to come to the Lord of the Guard, I know it. So there's no need for me to endure humiliation. ”
