Chapter 1356: Scheming
One second β small β³ said Β§ Net.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Jun Shengtian was still shocked by the identity of the other party. He only hesitated for a moment, then immediately bowed his hand and said, "I don't know if it's the county lord, the grass people are clumsy, please forgive the county lord." β
This little girl who was born with a beautiful country and a beautiful flower is Tang Mingzhu.
She smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Master Jun, please take a seat." β
After Jun Shengtian sat down, he took out a letter from his cuff and asked, "This letter, but it was written by the county lord?"
Tang Mingzhu glanced at it and said indifferently: "I wrote it." β
"What does the county lord mean?"
"Save you, but also save your family. β
Jun Shengtian narrowed his eyes and said, "The grass people don't know what the county lord means. β
Tang Mingzhu asked with a smile: "Your Majesty's holy decree, hasn't Master Jun already received it?" β
Jun Shengtian responded: "Yesterday it was answered." β
"If you receive the holy decree and go to the banquet two days later, it is a death, and if you don't go to the banquet, you will resist the decree and die. Tang Mingzhu asked curiously: "Master Jun thinks that after His Majesty kills you, he can still tolerate the Jun family?"
Jun Shengtian's face changed, and he frowned and said: "The Jun family has never thought of being an enemy of the imperial court, and the grass people dare not despise the majesty of the saint, so why does Your Majesty want to exterminate the grass people and the Jun family?"
Tang Mingzhu was happy, giggling non-stop, and after a while, she played with the jade pendant on her waist, and said slowly: "If you have never done it before, and Master Jun said this to Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty will be very happy and very pleased, but it is clear that it has already been done, and it is clear that it has already despised the majesty of the Holy One, and if you say these words, this will only make Your Majesty more angry and annoyed, Master Jun originally only needed to be stabbed once, but after saying this, I am afraid that Master Jun will have to suffer a thousand knives." β
Jun Shengtian changed color, and Jun Fei, Jun Peng, and Jun Le, who were guarding outside the pavilion, also changed color together.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and the truth is very clear to Jun Shengtian. As a courtier, even if you don't offend the emperor, maybe one day the emperor will see you unpleasantly, but you can also be in a different place, offend the emperor, and then try to please it, it's too late.
When Jun Shengnan was demoted, he did not agree with the Jun family to make it difficult for the imperial court, but Jun Yaonian and Jun Yaozu, the older generation of the Jun family, were not convinced, and they all advocated confronting the imperial court to the end, and they had to force the imperial court to reinstate Jun Shengnanguan, at least to force the imperial court to give the Jun family an explanation.
Now that the Jun family wants to recycle it, how easy it is to talk about it, maybe as Tang Mingzhu said, since it has been done, the emperor can no longer tolerate the Jun family.
He sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty only needs a holy decree to kill the grass people, so why invite the grass people into the palace and kill them again?"
"Haven't you heard of killing chickens and monkeys, knocking on mountains and shaking tigers?"
Tang Mingzhu smiled and said: "If Master Jun has not been lonely and unheard, he should know that this time His Majesty invited not only Lord Jun, but also the patriarchs of other scholar clans, who are also invited, the Jun family is the representative of the local scholar clan in Ningnan, and the other scholar clans are all looking forward to the Jun family's horses, and killing Master Jun in front of the patriarchs of the scholar clans, is there anything more shocking than this? From now on, are there any scholars who dare to continue to confront the imperial court?"
"So, the grass people have to die. Jun Shengtian smiled bitterly.
"Yes. Tang Mingzhu said bluntly.
"In that case, why did the county lord ask the old minister to come out?" Jun Shengtian looked directly at Tang Mingzhu and asked.
"Master Jun doesn't have to die, Jun family doesn't have to die, there is only one way. β
"What's the solution?"
"If you don't die, Your Majesty will die. β
When Jun Shengtian heard this, his head buzzed, and he almost didn't slip off the stone bench and sit on the ground.
It was the first time he had heard such a big rebellious remark in his life. He stood up suddenly, his body swayed and took two steps back, and he saw Tang Mingzhu like a monster, and stammered, "You...... You ......"
"Why is Master Jun so nervous?!" Tang Mingzhu glanced at him with a smile, and said slowly: "If Master Jun didn't know that the Jun family was desperate, he wouldn't have come to the appointment today, wouldn't he?
"The county lord...... The county lord still stopped laughing at the grass people with this kind of thing. Jun Shengtian stared at Tang Mingzhu for a long time, and finally walked back and sat back on the stone bench.
"Does Master Jun look like I'm joking?
"That'...... So why ......?"
"Killing the king?"
"Yes...... Yes!"
"If Your Majesty does not die, Your Highness can only be Your Highness forever, and only when Your Majesty dies can Your Highness go further and become Your Majesty. Tang Mingzhu said slowly.
Is this Shangguan Xiu's idea? Jun Shengtian shuddered. After thinking about it, he also understood that although Tang Mingzhu was the county lord of the Wind Country, he had always been a county lord who only had the title of county lord but had never been favored, and later she defected to Shangguan Xiu and was appreciated by Shangguan Xiu, so she came to this day step by step and became the minister of the Wind Country.
It is not too much to say that Tang Mingzhu is Shangguan Xiu's person. Tang Mingzhu is just a little girl, how can she have so much courage to dare to plot such a rebellious thing as killing the king, there must be a master behind her, who can make the lord of the county and the minister of parliament, except for Shangguan Xiu, who else can there be?
Thinking of this, the corners of Jun Shengtian's mouth hooked, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, laughing contemptuously.
He had always heard that Shangguan Xiu was not close to women, and he originally thought that he had a deep affection for Tang Ling, but now that he thinks about it, it is all fake, and it is just an illusion that he pretended to deceive the world.
In front of the imperial power, in front of the supreme throne, what husband and wife are affectionate, what fathers and sons are filial piety, what brothers, friends and brothers, all are fake.
Shangguan Xiu is obviously the first person under one person, above tens of thousands of people, and the power leans towards the government and the opposition, but as a result, he still wants to go further, or embark on the road of killing the king and seizing the throne.
"Inside and outside the palace, the guards are heavily guarded, and it is not easy to kill the king? β
Tang Mingzhu blinked his eyes and said, "Who is guarding the palace now?"
"Gendarmerie. β
"To whom is the gendarmerie allegiated?"
Shangguan Xiu! Jun Shengtian said secretly in his heart. After hearing this, he was even more sure that the main messenger of this matter was Shangguan Xiu.
Tang Mingzhu said: "Two days later, when the old man Jun goes to the banquet, he can bring a strong dead soldier into the palace, and the gendarmerie will let the people brought by the old man. β
"Actually, if you want to kill the Holy Lord, Your Highness has many opportunities. β
"But at the same time, it's the most suspicious. β
"Therefore, Your Highness wants to borrow the hand of my monarch's family. β
Tang Mingzhu shrugged and was noncommittal. Jun Shengtian said: "After the matter is completed, I'm afraid that my Jun family will also be in a catastrophe, right?" Tang Mingzhu said: "The people below are traitors, what does it have to do with the Jun family? Whether the Jun family is guilty or not guilty, it all depends on the words of the person in charge, if Your Majesty is gone, who else has the qualifications to govern?"
Jun Shengtian fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said faintly: "It is not uncommon to unload the mill and kill donkeys. β
"Whether it will unload the mill and kill the donkey, the key depends on whether the donkey is still useful, if it is still useful, who will do the stupid thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey?"
Tang Mingzhu said in a brisk tone: "I think that with the power of the Jun family in the Ningnan region, it will inevitably become a big help for the new monarch, which can help the new monarch stabilize the situation in the Ningnan region as soon as possible, Master Jun, what do you say?"
Jun Shengtian's heart beat for a while, and he said: "The words of the county lord make the grass people think it is true. β
"I still say the same thing, if she doesn't die, the Jun family will die, if the Jun family doesn't want to die, she must die!"
Jun Shengtian's eyes flashed with a gleam, nodded, and said, "The grass people understand. It's just that...... If it doesn't work, the matter will be revealed......"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Mingzhu suddenly slapped his face. At this time, the coachman walked into the gazebo with a package and gently placed it on the stone table. Tang Mingzhu pushed the package directly in front of Jun Shengtian and said, "With this thing, it is foolproof." β
Jun Shengtian first looked at Tang Mingzhu in surprise, and then his eyes fell on the package, he stretched out his hand, lifted the package, felt heavy, untied the cloth pocket outside, and looked inside, the package was filled with the latest three-barreled spirit musket made by the Ordnance Division.
This spirit musket belongs to a short spirit fire gun, the length is only about one foot, and it can be carried around the waist, but the power of the three-barrel spirit fire gun, Jun Shengtian knows it well, and it can shoot three bullets at the same time, which is overwhelming, and it is impossible to hide.
"This ...... It's ......"
"The three-barreled spirit musket is said to be amazingly powerful, even if it has a spirit armor to protect the body, it can easily penetrate it. With the help of this thing, can't you kill with one blow?" Tang Mingzhu leaned forward and gently patted the musket in Jun Shengtian's hand.
Jun Shengtian swallowed his saliva and muttered, "If you want to bring this thing into the palace, it will be as difficult as ascending to the sky!"
Tang Mingzhu smiled and said: "I have already said that it is the gendarmerie who guards the palace, and it is our own people. Not to mention just bringing in this small musket, even if Master Jun wants to bring in a cannon, it can also be done easily. β
Jun Shengtian tied the opened package again, smiled at Tang Mingzhu, and said, "It seems that the county lord and ...... And His Royal Highness has already prepared everything, there is a gendarmerie in the palace, then there is a ...... outside the palace"
"Master Jun seems to ask a little more. β
"The stakes are very high, and you can't be negligent in any place, and I hope that the county lord will not hide anything from the grass people, so that the grass people will have concerns. β
"During the banquet in the palace, the 11th Army Corps stationed outside the city will enter the city and take over the defense of Tianjing City. β
"Eleventh Legion!" Jun Shengtian only pondered for a moment, and suddenly showed a look of sudden realization. The commander of the 11th Legion is Guan Xi, because he insulted the imperial concubine in the palace, which caused Tang Ling's anger, if it wasn't for Shangguan Xiu who has been protecting him, Guan Xi doesn't know how many times he has died, and now Shangguan Xiu wants to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, how can he lack Guan Xi, a hardcore henchman.
Jun Shengtian smiled, there is a gendarmerie in the palace, and there are eleven legions in the city, this time Shangguan Xiu's plan is really to the point where everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed. And his own Jun family is the kind of shareholder style that Shangguan Xiu wants!
He rubbed his chin and asked, "Your Highness ascended the throne and became the new monarch, then, I don't know who will take over the post of the great general of the Wind Country?"
Tang Mingzhu asked with a smile, "Master Jun wants to be the general of the Wind Country?"
"I wonder if the county lord thinks the grass people are competent?"
Tang Mingzhu leaned back, tilted his head, squinted at Jun Shengtian, and after a long time, she said quietly: "Don't you think that Master Jun has too much appetite." β
Her reaction made Jun Shengtian very satisfied. If Tang Mingzhu didn't even think about it, he agreed to him in one mouth, which would only make him feel that Shangguan Xiu was using him now, and all the promises made to him were empty words that could never be fulfilled.
And the more Tang Mingzhu hesitated and annoyed, the more he explained that Shangguan Xiu did not think about unloading and killing the donkey afterwards, but really planned to use the Jun family and let the Jun family help him do things.
Jun Shengtian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the county lord is in a hurry, the grass people just said it casually, I think His Royal Highness will never treat people who really do things for him." β
"Hmph!" Tang Mingzhu sneered, stared at him coldly, and did not answer.
Jun Shengtian thought that his temptation was very clever, but he underestimated Tang Mingzhu. ql11
How did he know that Tang Mingzhu's hesitation and annoyance at this time were all deliberately pretended by her, she calculated Jun Shengtian's temptation, and pretended to be able to satisfy him and secretly rejoice him.
Tang Mingzhu's intelligence, even if it is Jun Shengtian, a well-informed old fox, may not be able to compare.
