Chapter 129: A Deal with Situ Xia Zhen (Part 20)
The little bit of in Chu Yun's court seems to be twists and turns, and there are many scheming, but if you go directly to the root, you will find that it is not complicated at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoThe root cause of the crisis between the Situ family and the Zhenbei Army is actually one, the imperial power!
When he was in the capital, Zhang Nan had already discovered that something was wrong.
Throughout Chu Yun's succession of imperial power in the past dynasties, although there is no lack of blood, there has never been a real chaos. Dead and dead, they are all important ministers of the court, powerful families, the royal family has never died, not even arrested, and at worst he is a prince of peace.
Now it seems that King Liang is helping the eldest prince and the crown prince compete for the throne, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is very abnormal. At the beginning, King Liang was in power, and his son was the emperor's prince in the palace. At that time, as long as King Liang wanted to do it, he could arbitrarily move the courtiers, and he could set the position of prince for his son. Even if the emperor had his own son later, it would not be too late for King Liang to make a move, because the power was in his hands and the righteousness was also there.
But how did King Liang do it? He directly handed over the power and went home to live in peace for more than 20 years.
Now that the emperor's son has grown up and established a crown prince, and the courtiers in the court have also changed, King Liang suddenly jumped out and began to plan to compete for the throne.
However, at that time, Zhang Nan didn't want to intervene in the political situation of Chu Yun, and the right to be the simple and simple family style of Chu Yun's royal family may be like this. So until I saw the prince, I thought that the Situ family was a victim of the dispute between Yi Chu, and it was just a bargaining chip for the prince and King Liang to pinch each other. But when he saw the old dean later, Zhang Nan understood.
What is easy to store, what prince Liang Wang pinched each other, it is all nonsense. Chu Yun's real big boss was not the emperor at all, but the corrupt fat old man who was huddled in the back mountain of the inner courtyard!
In the Zhongzhou border, the top warriors are equivalent to the existence of nuclear weapons, which are used to deter both inside and outside. But from beginning to end, Chu Yun's nuclear button has always been controlled by the fat old man. He doesn't govern, but he oversees it at all times.
As long as there is that one, the Chu Yun royal family will never be able to have real civil strife. It seems to be bloody and bloody, but in fact, the royal family is purging the court!
For example, now, the reason why King Liang jumped out is completely because he came out to sing with the emperor. It is necessary to blow up all those who are restless in the court, dissatisfied with the prince, and threaten the prince, and clean them up by fighting for the crown.
The Situ family belonged to those who supported the crown prince, but their authority was too great, which directly affected the future imperial power. The protΓ©gΓ©s of the Situ family are all over the government and the opposition, and the Zhenbei Army is even more powerful, and the combat power of one army has caught up with the sum of several other main armies. And there seem to be some other hole cards, which can be suppressed when the emperor is there, but the emperor is worried that he is not there and can't hold it down.
Now the Situ family is loyal, but the emperor can't be sure that the descendants of the Situ family are also loyal. It doesn't matter whether the Situ family and the Zhenbei army will rebel or not, the important thing is that they can rebel at any time as long as they want to. For the sake of imperial power, this hidden danger must be eradicated.
The imperial court did not send troops to help the north for a long time, not because King Liang was in the way, but because the emperor did not want to save it at all. Turning back to the northern army of Zhenzhen, Wei Wuguo will not be able to fall well, and when the time comes, the army will be mobilized, and the danger of the northern border will not matter at all.
A large group of people in the capital, including Liu Feiyan and Xu Zhengming, all let the emperor and King Liang play with the tricks set up by the brothers, and many people will definitely lose their lives.
From the emperor's point of view, it is relatively cold-blooded and extreme to do these things, but from the perspective of imperial power, it cannot be said that it is completely wrong. But the reaction of the Situ family made Zhang Nan speechless.
Zhang Nan was just speculating before, but when he was talking just now, he deliberately deceived him, but he didn't expect it to be really tricked.
The emperor and King Liang were not very relieved about Wei Wuguo, so they got a double insurance and wanted to use the hand behind the indifferent snow to eradicate the Situ family. And the Situ family, after discovering the emperor's intentions, not only did not avoid danger, but also wanted to help the emperor speed up the process.
There may be many reasons, but the most obvious one is that Situ Kuohai wants to keep the Zhenbei Army.
"Chu Yunguo can do without the Situ family, but it can't do without the Zhenbei Army. Zhang Nan looked at Situ Xiazhen: "Although I haven't met General Situ, I believe this is his idea." β
Situ Xia nodded painfully, with gloom in his eyes:
"The Situ family has been running for three generations, and the Zhenbei military has today's prestige. Grandpa said that his allegiance was never to the Chuyun royal family, but to this land. This iron army was trained not to defend the imperial power, but to defend the land and the people. If he is given another 10 years, the presence of this army alone will guarantee that there will be no more major wars in 20 years, so that the border people will not be spared the pain of war!"
"Without the Situ family, the royal family can rest assured of the Zhenbei Army. Zhang Nan sighed: "The status of Jianlou is the style of the past, and I won't do anything to the Situ family because of some trivial things." But what you want to provoke is not the Sword Tower. β
Situ Xia Zhen was stunned: "Mr. Zhang, you even know this?"
"I don't know. Zhang Nan said: "But I have tested the people of the Sword Tower, and he is very taboo about the mother who is indifferent to Xue, and he is obviously a character who is not easy to mess with." But you still seem to have your own thoughts, and you want to use the power of the sword tower to protect the Zhenbei army. β
Situ Xia Zhen nodded slightly and said, "I planned to do so, but then Lin Qingqing made me understand my innocence." The withdrawal from school was initiated by myself without my grandfather's consent. I have never disobeyed my grandfather's decision, but I have never been able to push the Situ family to a dead end. β
"As I said, you're not fit to play tricks. Now that it comes to this, is there any point in continuing to conceal it?" Zhang Nan smiled and shook his head:
"Your Situ family should have a certain reliance, and that reliance is the existence that the emperor minds the most. It's even very likely that even you, the Situ family, are afraid of that existence. Otherwise, no matter how foolish your grandfather was, he would not have cooperated with His Majesty the Emperor's calculations like that. Simply keep the Zhenbei Army, you don't need to borrow from the sword tower. β
Situ Xia Zhen pursed his lips tightly and was indifferent.
"I have no intention of exploring the secrets of the Situ family, but if you want my help, I must know the whole thing. Zhang Nan said: "I don't want to be busy until the end, your grandfather cooperated with the emperor to seek death, but because of my help, he met with swords." β
The gentleman laughed. Situ Xiazhen's face was embarrassed, and he obviously didn't dare to deny this possibility, and said: "I don't dare to deceive Mr., but the Situ family has hole cards, but I don't know, my grandfather is also taboo and doesn't seem to want to mention it." But if you can really save the Situ family and the Zhenbei army, Xia Zhen will swear to revenge. β
Zhang Nan was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, it's you who traded with me, not General Situ." But there is a word in advance, if the old general lights up his sword on me one day, I will not spare his hand. I promised you to protect the Situ family and the Zhenbei army, but there are many Situ families, and I may not protect all of them. β
Xia Zhen understands. Although Situ Xiazhen's expression was entangled for a moment, he still showed a bit of determination: "The Zhenbei Army is my grandfather's life, if Mr. can really be saved, my grandfather will be grateful to Mr. even if he dies." β
What Situ Xia Zhen showed seemed to be extremely emotional. But if you think about it, it can also be said that it is rational to the extreme. In order to achieve a certain goal, you can give up everything without any scruples. A girl from the Situ family is still like this, and Situ Kuohai is even more conceivable. Such a family can raise the best soldiers. But how can such a quality not make the king scruples.
Zhang Nan looked at this stubborn girl, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart.
Perhaps it would be a good choice to let Situ Xia Zhen be the third host. Now the two hosts, one with a lack of emotion and the other with no staring, are both problem children who come from their temperament. Add a rational and persistent one, maybe you can reconcile it.
This thought flashed and was buried in Zhang Nan's heart.
Of course, the third host has to be found, but it also has to be after the demon soul is solved. This cooperation with Situ Xia Zhen can also be regarded as an inspection period.
"I can't give you absolute promises, but I'll do my best. As for the conditions for my help, you can also listen to it first. Zhang Nan said: "I want you to use all the power you can use to help find someone in Nantang." I just need to know where this person is and the specific situation, and you don't have to do anything else. β
"Just like that?" Situ Xia was really puzzled.
Zhang Nan didn't pack the ticket, which made Situ Xia really more down-to-earth. But Zhang Nan's conditions were so simple, which also made her uneasy. After all, compared to the survival of the Situ family and the Zhenbei Army, finding someone is just a trivial matter.
"It's not easy, you know it when you do it. Zhang Nan smiled: "Everyone has something to care about, maybe it is not worth mentioning in your opinion, but the meaning to me is no less than the significance of the Zhenbei Army to General Situ." β
If there was no demon soul Mu Heti to mention this matter, Zhang Nan would not have taken over the mess of the Situ family. But as he himself said, everyone has something to care about, and they have their own scales. In order to kill that person, not to mention the Situ family and the Zhenbei army, even if he is an enemy of a country, Zhang Nan will not hesitate.
As for whether he can help his boss Tu Xia really much, Zhang Nan doesn't dare to say that he is sure, but he is not without confidence.
Whatever the Situ family's minds, the crisis they encountered would not be separated from the realm of political crisis. Most political crises do not need to be resolved by force. In the business of pretending to be forced, Zhang Nan is still a little confident. (To be continued.) )
