Chapter 403: Old Friends Meet
The news brought back by Qiu Shisan was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for Zhang Zheng. If it is placed in normal times, and there is almost a coup d'Γ©tat in a small country, Zhang Zheng will hear about it, at most it will be a joke.
But in today's situation, this news is too useful for Zhang Zheng. And the last kingdom wanted to do the abolition, but he did not succeed.
Although it is only a short sentence, the information contained in it is enough for Zhang Zheng to analyze many things.
First of all, the most obvious is that the country is not one mind now, but divided into two forces.
One is the lord of the last country, and the other is the minister of the last country. And among these two forces, the power of the last minister is significantly more than the power represented by the lord of the last country.
This is illustrated by the fact that the Minister of State wants to abolish the Legislature. But it didn't succeed, which shows that although the lord of the last kingdom is weak, he is not a lamb who can be slaughtered without resistance.
As for what Qiu Shisan said, it was because of scruples and that the last lord of the country had been canonized by the Tang Dynasty, so he didn't really do it, in Zhang Zheng's opinion, it was a fart.
You will do the abolition of the establishment, and you don't care if you canonize it or not. So there must have been something going on in it that caused the end of the country to not dare to act rashly.
And Zhang Zheng is more inclined and the lord of the end of the country still has the power in his hands that makes the end of the country jealous. Of course, these are not the most important, the important thing is that once the country is divided, it will be a godsend for Zhang Zheng.
Now that the coalition forces of the Western Regions are about to attack Tang, it has been the consensus of the entire Western Regions. And it happened that at this time, and the end of the country was divided into two forces, two forces, it is impossible for both of them to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty.
Especially the prime minister of the end of the country, since he has ambitions, for him, the most important thing at the moment should be to do everything possible to get the end of the country down, and then it is only right for him to take the throne.
If you can't get to the throne, everything is in vain, what is the difference between being a courtier to the Tang Dynasty and being a courtier at the end of the day?
provoked Datang for no reason and set up an almost invincible enemy for himself, isn't this full of food?
Moreover, although the last lord is in a different position, now that the prime minister is eyeing his throne on the side, it is impossible for him to have the heart to deal with the Tang Dynasty.
Besides, the threat of Datang is great, but after all, Datang only occupies the land of Xizhou, and the threat to the lord of the country is far less intuitive than the threat of the prime minister.
Even his throne is about to be saved, and he still cares about when the Tang Dynasty will send troops to the Western Regions, so he has a hole in his brain.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the two domestic forces are hostile to Datang, with the current relationship between the two parties, can they really be consistent and not suspicious of each other?
, no. That's why Zhang Zheng asked Qiu Shisan about the political positions of these two major forces in China.
If these two forces are available, it will be equivalent to Zhang Zheng having two more pairs of eyes in the Western Regions Alliance.
Even if it is not available, at least Zhang Zheng will have to face some less enemies. Because Jimo is also a big country in the Western Regions, if the Western Regions countries join forces, the army of Jimo will inevitably be one of the main forces of its coalition army.
And now, the chaos in the country is extremely overwhelming, and he must not have the time to take care of Datang. β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Let people pay close attention to the movements in the country, and if there is any new news, report back to me immediately, and send people to contact the lord of the country and the country of the end of the country respectively, and make some promises if necessary. If any party is inclined to Datang, help me make an appointment as much as possible. If they are all hostile to Datang and irresolvable, they will find a way to provoke a fight between the two of them again. Zhang Zheng spit out a mouthful of melon seeds, and gave an order to Qiu Shisan at a very fast speed, and gave a lot of authority.
secretly said in his heart: "God helps me!" If one of the parties can be countered as Datang's internal response, Zhang Zheng has more confidence in the upcoming defense of Xizhou.
"Poof...... Subordinates understand. Qiu Shisan also squirted out a mouthful of melon seeds into the sky, and then arched his hand towards Zhang Zheng and said: "Shao Lang Jun, there is no bullying over there, as far as his subordinates know, he seems to have a defensive force in his hands that should not be underestimated, if he does it rashly, my subordinates may not be able to do it without knowing it, I wonder if Shao Langjun can transfer two more masters to assist his subordinates?" β
"Master?" Zhang Zheng asked rhetorically. He also knew that it was not easy to pry his mouth open, and if he wanted to pry his mouth open unknowingly, he would inevitably be tortured.
And if you want to torture him, you have to find a way to fool him out of Xizhou unknowingly. This doesn't seem to be easy.
After thinking about it, there seems to be only one master around him, Chen Yu, but Chen Yu is a general, not an assassin, and he is not good at concealment.
"Ahem, don't you have the right person on your hands?" Zhang Zhengmo asked, rubbing his chin. Qiu Shisan nodded, shook his head again, and replied: "Originally, there were, but they basically have their own tasks now, and they can't be recalled in a short time." β
"Well, then let Chen ......"
"How are we?" Zhang Zheng was about to say that Chen Yu would be transferred to Qiu Shisan for emergency use, but as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by two familiar voices.
"Hehe, I think our brother should barely be considered a master......" The words fell, and a green-shirted Taoist priest with a sword on his back and a short-shirted ranger with a gourd on his back walked into the backyard through the partitioned moon gate.
It was the green-shirted Taoist priest who interrupted Zhang Zheng with a voice. As soon as he heard this voice, Zhang Zheng had a smile on his face, stood up and shouted: "Hey, is my county mansion a sieve, how can anyone enter my backyard?" β
"Your door is always open." The two figures approached, and the Taoist priest replied unhurriedly.
Zhang Zheng laughed and greeted the visitor, and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, it's really sleepy, someone will send a pillow, Brother Zhang, Brother Huang, long time no see." β
"Hehehe, Brother Shenzhi, don't come unharmed." The person who came was Zhang Zheng's friend for many years, Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao.
After so many years, there has been no trace of time on the faces of the two. When people see each other, they are naturally happy, but they don't seem to be so happy.
As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. There were three more men in the backyard of the county uncle's mansion, Cui Shu stood up with her stomach and said a blessing to the two, and then retreated very consciously.
The two bowed their heads slightly, watched Cui Shu walk away, and then smiled at Zhang Zheng: "Brother Shenzhixian, congratulations, congratulations, hahahahaha." Zhang Zheng laughed and said: "Hahahaha, it is a great joy to make up the gift money, by the way, how can the two brothers have time to come to Xizhou and do chivalrous deeds?" β
