Chapter 70: Treachery and Perseverance (1)
Jie Wenwu was overjoyed after reading it, because he was afraid that Ye Yongjia would come back to see it, so he put the letter in his arms, went out and said to the bookstore: "I want to go to the Yamen of the household department to meet Mr. Liu." If Ye Shilang comes back, you will inform him of this and ask him to approve the unfinished official documents on the table, do you hear? ”
"Got it!" The scribe bowed respectfully.
"They're really ruthless," Liu Mian put down the letter with a smile, "that's how it should be when dealing with mobs." ”
Jie Wenwu said: "I never thought that these two major matters would be solved so smoothly...... This year's wax festival, it seems that there is a blessing from God! ”
"But you have to celebrate," Liu Mian propped up his rickety body and beckoned outside, "Someone!" Go to the back room to get the old wine, and then call Gao Shangshu to come over, I'll have a good drink! ”
"I see." Gao Jizhi sent away the people from the household department and was about to leave for it, when he suddenly saw Chen Tongpao with a tall young man, standing in front of the lobby and saluting.
"Lianghou, there's nothing wrong along the way, right?" He recognized the Hunan people at a glance.
The Hunan people dusted off their clothes and said with a smile: "There has been nothing wrong, but something seems to have happened in Nanguan, so it was delayed for a few days." ”
Gao Jizhi explained: "It was the exiles of the two provinces who fled north, and they had the intention of rebelling against the government, so a conflict broke out in Nanguan, but fortunately, they were all wiped out, and the whole dynasty rejoiced. Tell me about the situation in Henan, how well is the disaster situation in Henan? ”
The Hunan people sneered: "Since I entered the court, I have never encountered anything simpler than this. With a few fingers, the city with the largest number of displaced people will be renovated and stabilized. As for the rest of the ground, it will recover after spring. There is still a certain danger now, please do not dismiss the soldiers of Nanguan. ”
"I'll tell the Ministry of Soldiers," Gao Jizhi felt that the wind was a little cold, and hurriedly tightened his clothes, "Don't worry." I'll go have a few drinks to warm up my body, and then come back happily, and reward my deeds together! ”
The three Shangshu drank their wine until dusk, and the celebration was obviously not taken as a secret, and even the crown prince, who was a prisoner, heard the news.
"Alas," the prince and Lan Yuan were playing chess, holding the sunspot in their hands, "they are a group of people...... A few months ago, my father and son were ruthlessly treated by the Liu Party, and I didn't see them working so hard. Now that I have done a better job, and I have won the favor of my father, I am happy to be like this, and I am really ashamed to be among the clear streams! ”
"You won." Lan Yuan simply pushed the chessboard away and replied seriously, "The reason why they are happy may not be so simple. ”
"No matter how you say it, it's all people that this king can woo," the prince threw the sunspot and leaned back, "Anyway, I'm too lazy to care." Also, as long as the Liu Party doesn't mess with us, Lan Shiyu won't attack them first. ”
"But......" Lan Yuan suddenly frowned slightly, "Liu Dang's side seems to be restless. ”
"What?" The prince panicked instantly and grabbed his arm.
"Niu Yuan's favorite toss, he has not been idle for a day in the middle school, and he is far from being more honest than Yan Wen. Recently, Cun Zhao and the villain said that Niu Yuan repeatedly summoned him to discuss matters, implying that Uncle Taisu was too old to be used, and he would be replaced by a newcomer, and his words were close to insults. ”
"Bold!" The prince slapped the table angrily, "Forget about anything else, even my father's forbidden army wants to point fingers, Liu Zhennian is afraid that he doesn't have the guts!" ”
"That's why we have to let Party Leader Liu have a long memory, so as not to teach them to make inches!" Lan Yuan said through gritted teeth.
"But ......" The prince thought for a while, and his attitude softened again, "Except for the three same sect sibans, my father and son are really useless." ”
"Don't be afraid," Lan Yuan was full of confidence, "Your Highness should look outward." ”
"Outward?"
"The minister heard that although Zhang Longlu, the governor of Denglai, had accompanied Liu Zhennian to the east and west, his son was killed for corruption, and Liu Zhennian did not do his best to protect him, so he was resentful. Now the town guards the important coastal defense areas, and the military power is very heavy, and it is not like Wan Heshun and others who have ghosts, so they can provide foreign aid for me. ”
"Well...... "The prince felt very reasonable, "It's just that my father is unpredictable, and this king doesn't dare to tell him the old man." ”
"You don't need to trouble the emperor about this, you are a prisoner of the country, how can you succeed if you always want to rely on others?" Lan Yuan knelt down and admonished.
The prince struggled for a long time before he stomped his foot: "Okay, this king will do it himself!" Mr. Lan, hurry up and tell me the plan! ”
"Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for several years, and has never paraded soldiers and horses. It is better to persuade His Majesty to go east for a military parade on the grounds that 'there are often bandits and bandits on the sea, and they should go out of the town to Denglai to appease the hearts of the army', and when they arrive in Dengzhou and Laizhou, enter the place of Zhang Longlu's confidant, and take advantage of the unclear situation of the Liu Party, it will be feasible to make a big move. ”
"For example?" The prince's mood has never been able to get rid of his apprehension.
"The ground near the sea is not very flat, and there is a good chance that something will happen...... If you take the opportunity to assassinate Liu Zhennian and cause chaos within the Liu Party, then the national government will be achieved in one fell swoop! "Lan Yuan's idea is very bold.
"No, no, no," the prince just heard it, his eyes looked around, and a lot of cold sweat climbed up his back, "Liu Zhennian has been a powerful minister for so many years, and he must be vigilant in doing things, if he is exposed, he will lose everything!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince," Lan Yuan moved his body forward, and persuaded him, "At this time, the people's hearts are still in the community, if the Liu Party continues to grow, I am afraid that the country will need to change hands, and it will be too late to regret it by then!" ”
The prince held his forehead, and his heart was troubled: "That...... This king is looking for a few more people to plan this matter, trying to have peace of mind. ”
"Your Highness, the more people involved, the easier it will be to leak out, how can you feel at ease!" Lan Yuan's face flushed with anxiety.
"I can't find a brother of the same clan like Cun Zhao!" The prince said angrily.
Lan Yuan saw that he was stubborn, so he had to give up his original opinion: "The imperial nephew is thoughtful, it's a good thing to invite him, a good thing." ”
The prince sat down again: "Mr. agrees." I gathered all three royal officials together to discuss important matters. ”
Taisu, Rong Qing and Cun Zhao, all of whom received the prince's secret order, all wept in tears and swore to eradicate the traitors for the country, and they were loyal. But Niu Yuan's summons were more frequent than before, and he often visited the details of the forbidden army under the banner of understanding military affairs. Cun Zhao has seen this Fengxiang many times, but his face does not change, he does not leave the slightest handle, and retreats with his whole body; But the two elders of the royal family were frightened by Niu Yuan's frequent receptions, and their hearts were really weak, and sometimes they were not good at speaking, and their movements were slightly stiffer than before, and they were soon keenly noticed by Niu Yuan.
In private, he consulted with his confidant scribe: "I see that they have not moved in the past few months, and I am afraid that these people will conspire to disrupt the government, so I will try it for many days, and it will be so." You quickly go and ask Shi Xiushen to forbid him, I will entrust him to investigate the traitorous deeds! ”
