Chapter 718: Boiled Frog in Warm Water
Bang bang bang ......"
Two rows of brightly armored soldiers rushed into the general altar of the Beiping League.
Zhang Chu strode into the gate, tore off the Xuanse Dayu and threw it to Da Liu, and asked loudly, "Where is Luo Dashan?"
Hearing the sound, the mule trotted out and rushed out, waving his hands and saying, "My subordinates will meet the alliance leader." ”
Zhang Chu didn't stop at his feet, waved his hand and said, "Talk inside!"
Mule: "Yes!"
The two of them walked quickly towards the Temple of the Rising Sun.
Da Liu stood still holding Zhang Chu's big coat and shouted: "Guard!"
......
The two of them stepped into the Temple of the Rising Sun.
Zhang Chu walked to the black iron chair above, and asked without looking back, "Where is the holy decree?"
The mule hurriedly replied: "It has entered the territory of Wuqu County." ”
Zhang Chu: "Do you know their route to the north?"
The mule shook his head: "I can't find out!"
Zhang Chu sat on the black iron chair, two fingers of meditation rhythmically tapping on the armrest of the seat, and his eyes stared at the bright sunlight outside the hall.
After a long while, he spoke: "Where did the news of Huo Qing being promoted to Taiwei by the imperial court come from?"
The mule understood what the eldest brother meant by asking this, and quickly replied: "The news was sent back by the Beijing branch for eight hundred miles, and the news has not been made public at present, and there is no movement in the capital at all, and only a very small number of big officials in the capital should know about it!"
Since three years ago, Fengyunlou has begun to lay out the world.
As the center of the intersection of wind and clouds in Kyushu, Beijing is naturally the top priority in the layout of Fengyun Tower!
As far as Zhang Chu knew, there were no less than 300 elite spies who took root in the capital.
Of course, those spies certainly did not directly infiltrate the imperial court.
These secret agents do not have any mandatory and active tasks, and they do not need to report to the headquarters of the Fengyunlou in Taiping Guan on a regular basis.
They only indirectly collected some intelligence by engaging in occupations such as pouring night incense for the eunuchs in the palace, working as shopkeepers in some restaurants and tea shops frequented by officials, and entering the palaces of officials in some key yamen, and so on, and then summarized and analyzed and extracted information from it.
It is certainly not something that can be achieved overnight for a new intelligence organization to gain a firm foothold in a political and economic center like the capital that is on the cusp of storms.
It has to take time, like boiling old soup, slowly simmering......
No, for the first time in three years, the Beijing branch took the initiative to deliver information to the headquarters of Fengyunlou in Taipingguan, and gave Zhang Chu such a big meeting gift.
This meeting gift alone, all the funds consumed by the Beijing branch in the previous three years are worth it!
......
Zhang Chu narrowed his eyes and asked with a sneer, "Then what do you think, Huo Qing is one of the very few people, or is it the majority of the other people?"
The mule groaned slightly, and then said: "Huo Qing can stand tall in the northern Xinjiang for decades, and there must be friends in the court!"
It has not been ten years since they started in Wutong, and they all know the layout of the capital.
Huo Qing has been in a high position for decades, so there is no reason why he would not know.
The smile on the corner of Zhang Chu's mouth slowly spread: "Then you say, does Huo Qing want to see this holy decree?"
"He definitely doesn't want to see this decree!"
"As soon as the decree arrives, it will be a foregone conclusion!"
"Disobedience is tantamount to rebellion ......"
The mule frowned and replied in thought.
Zhang Chu didn't interject.
didn't tell him that Huo Qing couldn't enter Beijing!
The capital is the territory of Zulong Winyi.
The ancestral dragon has achieved a great master for more than 200 years.
It's all a monster!
How many years has it only been since Huo Qing set foot in the Great Grandmaster of Yipin?
How could he have slammed into the edge of the ancestral dragon's knife by himself......
The mule pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his eyebrows sharply, and exclaimed, "Do you suspect that Huo Qing will send someone to intercept and kill the angel who escorted the holy decree?"
"Can't you?"
"Angels represent the face of the royal family!"
"Killing angels is a capital crime for the Nine Clans!"
Zhang Chu sneered: "Don't dare?"
"What would he Huo Qing not dare!"
He didn't explain to the mule, why did Huo Qing dare.
Mules are not warriors after all.
He couldn't understand what a great master of the first rank represented......
After a pause, Zhang Chu asked again: "Last question, do you think that the imperial court knows that Huo Qing doesn't want to accept this holy decree!"
The mule nodded thoughtfully, "I must know." ”
Zhang Chu lightly nodded at the lenient table and said with a smile: "How about we make a bet between the two brothers?"
The mule smiled and responded, "What are you betting on? First of all, I don't have any money as you, you have to take it easy!"
Zhang Chu: "Just bet on whether the team of eunuchs who escorted the holy decree will pass through my Taiping Pass tomorrow!"
The mule was stunned, and suddenly got up: "I'm going to send someone to secretly answer that group of angels!"
The words are not finished yet.
So he hurried out of the temple.
Zhang Chu shouted at his back: "Don't forget to clean the courtyard, don't let rats and cockroaches dirty our ground!"
The head of the mule replied without looking back: "Got it!"
In the empty hall, only Zhang Chu was left.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring at the sunlight outside the hall, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his face grim.
He took a bet.
The imperial court promoted Huo Qing to be a lieutenant, which was just a pretense.
The real intention is to force Huo Qing to rebel!
Dali court's reputation among the people is actually quite good.
There were no heavy taxes and servitude.
There was no too harsh punishment and torture.
As for the common people at the bottom, life is not easy, and it has been like this in all dynasties.
The common people who have never experienced a harmonious society do not feel that this is a problem of the imperial court at all.
Until they can't survive, not many people are willing to rebel.
And the reputation of the King of Zhenbei in Xuanbei Prefecture has long been exhausted in the past few years of the Northern Barbarian invasion.
Although the common people did not know the truth about the entry of the Northern Barbarians.
But just the incompetent performance of the Zhenbei Army has already made the people of Xuanbei Prefecture very disappointed in the Huo family......
Huo Qing is rebelling now, and he doesn't have any righteous name at all.
Unless he's so mad that he kills ordinary people.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to set off any big waves......
Thinking that since the imperial court dared to attack Huo Qing, it should have prepared the means to balance Huo Qing.
From the perspective of the imperial court.
Huo Qing openly resisted the decree and rebelled, and the court inherently took advantage of the righteousness!
In this way, it is justified to deprive Huo Qing of the throne!
The title of king represents more than just power, status and wealth!
There is also a luck connection with the country!
As for pulling him into the water in the Beiping League, I think it's just a matter of convenience......
Is this a big trick for trees?
Or do you want tigers and flies to fight together?
......
Now the situation is becoming clearer.
Zhang Chu reviewed it again, only to realize that the imperial court set up the Quartet Governor, the Quartet Governor's Mansion, and transferred the forbidden army into Xuanbei This series of operations seems to be due to the situation.
In fact, it is a step-by-step, interlocking and meticulous calculation!
Pointing directly at Huo Qing, the big tiger entrenched in Xuanbei!
What a boiled frog in warm water!
In the end, it is the orthodoxy of the dynasty that brings together the top talents of Kyushu, and when it comes to doing things, it is really fucking ruthless and desperate!
The question now is, does Huo Qing see through the imperial court's technique of boiling frogs in warm water......
