Chapter 163: What a ruthless heart
"Your Majesty, the minister is convinced... King Yan's objection has appeared, and he is about to raise troops! ”
The tall and handsome Xu Huizu had just walked into the imperial study, and after meticulously finishing the salute, the first sentence he blurted out made the faces of the four people in the imperial study change greatly.
Half a pillar of incense, a few people were still talking about how to press King Yan to death... In the blink of an eye, someone came and said that King Yan was going to rebel before the court started, who was not heartbeat?
It's just that after this shock, doubts also followed--with Jinyiwei's investigation ability, the status of King Yan's Mansion like Ge Cheng in Neiying, and Zhang Yu's influence in Beiping, they only dared to say that King Yan is now anti-hearted, why did Xu Huizu think that Beiping City was about to have a big rebellion?
Xu Huizu has never been a person who likes to drag mud and water, probably because the starting point is too high, and he doesn't like the officialdom, he took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is a letter sent by my sister from Beiping... She sister has been married for many years, and every three or two months, she will always send letters to Jinling, especially in the past six months, and most of them are to inquire about the movements of the court and the central government. ”
Of course, this point doesn't mean anything, Xu Huizu handed the letter to the eunuch who was obsessed with dusting, watched the eunuch hand the letter into the hands of the young emperor, and continued: "But this kind of inquiry, in this letter... Broken. ”
Zhu Yunwen, who quickly scanned the content of the letter, vaguely grasped something, the letter is very ordinary, it is the tone and content of the letter written by a woman who has been married for many years away from home, but the more ordinary... The more strange it is.
What made Princess Yan lose her mind to spy on the movements of the court? What makes this letter look like a sister who is facing a catastrophe cautiously begging her brother to remember family affection, but instead explains some illusory things freely?
There are even some faint blames for Xu Huizu's role in cutting the domain...
Zhu Yunwen understood, and his hands holding the letter paper trembled slightly.
This is not fear, of course the Son of Heaven cannot be feared... Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to finally wait for something that has been waiting for something.
I thought about 10,000 situations, but when the fourth uncle, who was especially similar to the emperor's grandfather, finally decided to rebel, Zhu Yunwen realized that his previous heart had always been hanging.
And now... Grounded.
He gently stroked the letter, the fearlessness of the young man and the solemnity of being a person in power were intertwined in his heart, making him nod slightly: "As Aiqing said." ”
The invincible fourth uncle, the majestic fourth uncle, the fourth uncle who has been hanging over his head like a shadow... It's finally time to rebel.
As a person in power, the most taboo thing is to turn his face and refuse to admit it, Zhu Yunwen tried to control the expression on his face: "Yan Fan subdues the law, Aiqing should be the first credit!" ”
It's not terrible for a vassal king to rebel, but it's terrible to not know when to rebel and what kind of damage it will cause to the stability of the empire... If you can know in advance, you can completely avoid a military disaster.
This credit is too great, my own sister said that she would sell it, a letter to her family, but it became a pass to send her brother-in-law's family to Huangquan... The heart is so ruthless that Zhu Yunwen is slightly frightened.
This is not enough.
Xu Huizu bowed slightly: "It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty... Your Majesty, when his father was alive, he once commented that King Yan 'will be a famous general in the world in less than ten years', if King Yan raises troops, Beiping is in danger, and please ask Your Majesty to issue an order as soon as possible, heavy troops to guard the outside of Beiping City, and then divide the palace officials to guard the generals with the court's decree, so that King Yan has no soldiers and no generals... There is nothing to be afraid of. ”
Grace? Only punish the evil, and the officials of the palace can be treated leniently?
Does this mean not only digging the pit, but also filling the soil?
After circulating Princess Yan's family letter, Fang Xiaoru and the three of them gasped, and they couldn't figure out what was going on in their hearts about the Duke of Wei in front of them!
After all, it was Fang Xiaoru who reacted the fastest: "Your Majesty, this plan is feasible!" ”
It's not as ruthless as Xu Huizu, but he always picks up people's teeth, Fang Xiaoru stroked his beard and smiled: "Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, has been on the fold, and the Yanwang Mansion is not a rigid piece, Ge Changshi is the best example... The imperial court can send a messenger to Beiping with a decree, and secretly pass the decree to the wavering officials and generals, as long as Yan rebels against the law, everything is easy to discuss. ”
You can't let one person be in the limelight, Huang Zicheng smiled coldly: "Zhang Bu's excerpt also said that King Yan's madness is a little strange, and now it seems that I am afraid that I have been thinking about it for a long time... The most important thing at the moment is to let Commander Zhang know, if necessary... Everything can be done. ”
The military post has been going back and forth for a month, since it knows that King Yan is going to rebel, the court can't wait, otherwise the daylily will be cold... Zhang Hao is still doing things safely, and the power to make decisions on the spot can only be handed over to him, as long as the actions of King Yan and the palace are slightly wrong, then they have to take corresponding actions.
Qi Tai nodded in agreement: "The garrison of Beiping has been taken over by Xie Gui and Zhang Xin, and the governor of Song Zhong and Song can also go south at any time. Capture King Yan immediately. ”
In a few words, a countermeasure was set, a reader is a reader, although the general eye is low, but when it comes to the plan, it is really a set.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this plan, and it is even very comprehensive, and even the way to deal with the aftermath of the palace officials has been thought of... But Xu Huizu, who was watching coldly, frowned, feeling wrong.
Why take off your pants and fart? Isn't it okay to let Zhang Hao co-ordinate? Why bother to name Zhang Xin to arrest Zhu Di?
But he didn't understand what was the biggest credit in this process of cutting the domain? It must be that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was caught.
Why don't you let Zhang Yu, Xie Gui and even Song Zhong arrest them? Because Zhang Xin... It has something to do with Qi Tai.
A commander who is a soldier, a secretary of the military department, there is no friendship, then there is really a ghost.
No wonder Xu Huizu couldn't figure it out, he was the prince of the country, and he hadn't experienced much of this kind of courtesy and merit invitation in the officialdom, Qi Tai probably felt that this wave was stable, and he had to take the credit to his own people.
This is a scholar in a temple, standing in the imperial study, feeling that the world can be guided, and he is not aware of the complexity and cruelty of the power struggle.
But seeing that Zhu Yunwen nodded again and again when he heard it, Xu Huizu was not good at interfering in this matter, these people in front of him were popular, and there was no big problem with the whole plan, so why offend them? His Majesty will not consider these subtleties, and the will be set as soon as it is written, which is probably one of the biggest advantages of being a trusted minister.
is obviously the one who initiated this matter, but he didn't catch any errands, Xu Huizu was not surprised at all, because his relationship with Zhu Di is here, with Zhu Yunwen's words just now, all this... It's worth it.
It's just that there are some things that still need to be checked and filled... He bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the decree can be given, but the minister is brave and asks His Majesty to promise one thing." ”
"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The three sons of King Yan grew up under the watch, and the ministers understand their conduct, these three people are by no means idle, they are all talented, if they are indulgent, the consequences are unimaginable."
"Zhu Gaochi seems to be obese, hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, but in fact, his mind turns a thousand times, but he is full of moral articles, such a person is the most terrifying."
"Zhu Gaosui is only submissive, only picking up his brother's teeth, but he is familiar with the art of war, and he is obscure, and the court has to investigate."
"And Zhu Gaoxi..."Xu Huizu paused, and the figures of three nephews appeared in his mind: "This person is the most brave, You Shangyan Wang, but he is also the most scoundrel, and the minister dares to assert that he will not only be loyal to His Majesty, but also will not be loyal to... own father. ”
The words were loud and resounding in the imperial study, and my sister's face flashed in front of her eyes, but the words of Zhongshan Wangfu and his father's deathbed still made Xu Huizu lower his head: "Since the third son of King Yan has returned to the north, it is a foregone conclusion that the tiger will return to the mountain. Don't let it go! ”
Fang Xiaoru's scalp was numb.
