Chapter 172: A thousand-year-old fox, a thousand-year-old demon

In just a few words, Han Anguo's temperament showed a great change of nearly 180 degrees.

——In Keju Field, when a person stared at the stadium in a daze, Han Anguo was lonely;

When he was invited home by Tian Wei and was entertained, Han Anguo was embarrassed, emotional, and self-deprecating.

When Tian Wei expressed his admiration for himself and said that he was willing to spend his family wealth to help General Han at any time, Han Anguo was moved;

When he heard that Tian Wei would not be able to be friends with him because he was worried that he would say the wrong thing, so he didn't plan to say the 'best policy', Han Anguo was moved.

For a moment, Han Anguo even thought: He had lived half his life empty, and finally met his bosom friend at this low point in his life!

But at the moment;

At this moment.

All the previous emotions were left behind by Han Anguo.

Han Anguo, who was lonely, embarrassed, and even a little cramped, disappeared;

Instead, among the subordinates Liu Wu of Liang, the king of Liang, had in his life, the highest quality and resourcefulness, and at the same time, he was also the only strategist who was both civil and military;

- Liang Jiang!

——Han Anguo!!

"I originally thought that Your Excellency was really an open-minded, refreshing, and uninhibited person."

"But Your Excellency is right."

"- This is the best policy, as long as we say it, we will not be able to be friends anymore."

The indifferent voice made Tian Wei feel that it was not a taste for a while.

I don't know if it's because of Tian Wei, who regrets losing Han Anguo's friend;

It was still because Tian Wei was embarrassed that Han Anguo saw through his intentions.

was stared at by Han Anguo like this, and was silent in his seat for a long time;

In the end, Tian Wei still recovered from this strange emotion, took a deep breath, and stood up.

Separated from Han Anguo, looking at Han Anguo condescendingly, Tian Wei's face was on top of it, but he didn't know when, he was full of openness.

"I expected the general's reaction."

"I don't think it's a general, it's a backsliding, breaking his word and getting fat."

"—If I were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here calmly like the general."

"But I'm still the same;"

"I think I'm a pretty frank person."

"I will never do anything hypocritical in front of someone I respect, and I will never say anything hypocritical."

"I will never care about the questions raised by the general, and I will not care about him."

Saying this indifferently, Tian Wei turned around, walked back to his seat in front of Han Anguo, and sat down by himself.

Raising his head again, looking at Han Anguo, who was sitting five steps away from him, Tian Wei's face also brought the humble smile that made Han Anguo feel good again.

It's just that this humble smile doesn't mean that Tian Wei's next words will also be humble······

"Don't dare to deceive the general."

"—Facts, it's exactly what the general said."

"-Not only Wang Meiren, I hope to raise Gongzi Yu to the position of prince, but I, as an uncle, also hope so."

"But this does not mean that my best offer to the general is to sit and watch the sandpiper (yù) mussels fight, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"At least until Gongzirong falls, Gongzirong is still our common enemy."

"Overthrowing Gongzirong is an absolute benefit to King Liang, who is loyal to the general, and to my nephew Liu Yu."

"In this matter, our goal is the same."

Without hesitation, he faded out of these words, admitting that he did have such thoughts, and Tian Wei raised his head slightly.

From beginning to end, Han Anguo couldn't see the slightest weakness on Tian Wei's face;

Just like Fang Cai, Tian Wei himself said: at least at this moment, Tian Wei really achieved openness in the absolute sense······

"I know that the general wants to help King Liang and sit on the position of the prince's younger brother;"

"And I, as the maternal uncle of Gongzi Yu, of course, also hope to help my nephew sit on the throne of the prince."

"- If I say that I don't want to help my nephew become the crown prince, nor do I want to help my own sister be the queen and the queen mother, I'm afraid no one will believe it."

"But the general should be able to figure it out: we, at least for the time being, are not enemies."

"On the matter of 'bringing down Gongzi Rong', we can completely agree;"

"Furthermore: even if Gongzi Rong falls in the future, King Liang and Gongzi Yan are in opposition because of the position of the prince, it doesn't necessarily mean that the two of us will never die from now on?"

"-The two of us can distinguish between public and private."

"Yu Gong, the general is loyal to King Liang, and I am running for my nephew;"

"We can still be good friends."

"What does the general think?"

It was another open and honest confession, but it made Han Anguo fall into a long period of contemplation.

Tian Wei's calmness was indeed a bit unexpected by Han Anguo.

- Han Anguo originally thought that after being revealed by himself, Tian Wei would panic and hastily defend himself;

It's even possible that you will be annoyed and angry.

But Tian Wei was uneasy and played his cards, and he generously admitted his true thoughts, but it made the anger in Han Anguo's heart inexplicably dissipate a lot.

Xu is Tian Wei's calmness made Han Anguo subconsciously relax his vigilance;

It can also be sincere, and it can often gain people's trust.

After a short period of entanglement, Han Anguo actually sent a ghost to the gods, and really considered Tian Wei's proposal!

What surprised Han Anguo even more was that as his thoughts deepened, Han Anguo actually felt more and more that Tian Wei's proposal was very reasonable······

"Your Excellency means that you and I will work together to bring down Gongzi Rong;"

"After Gongzirong falls, we will each be our own masters, and we will distinguish between public and private, and in private, we will still become friends?"

Hearing Han An's Chinese tone warmed up, Tian Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief;

On his face, he was still calm and light, and nodded to Han Anguo with a light smile.

"King Liang has the grace of knowing the general, and the general has no reason to ignore the affairs of King Liang;"

"And Gongzi Bi was born with my blood, and I can't let go of my nephew."

"—that's something we can't change."

"But just now, the general said that when he was young, he used to study "Han Feizi" under the famous people."

"Since he has studied the scriptures since childhood, the general obviously will not fail to understand such a truth, called: All eggs cannot be put in the same basket······

As he said this, Tian Wei shook his head with a smile;

You leisurely played with a jade pendant, and did not forget to continue: "This truth, the general will definitely understand." ”

"No matter who sits on the throne in the end, all we can do is work hard."

"We can only 'do our best', but there is no guarantee at all: the final ownership of the position of the prince can be as we wish."

"In that case, why can't we be good friends in private?"

"Why can't we make a promise to each other today, 'Be rich and rich, and don't forget each other'?"

"In the future, if King Liang becomes the prince, I will rely on the general, and ask the general to be by King Liang's side and speak for me, my nephew, and my sister;"

"If Gongzi Yu becomes the prince, the general will rely on me, and let me rely on me as an uncle, in front of the future new monarch, to seek an errand for the general, and become an official in the court."

"Whatever the end result, we can both rely on each other;"

"—Isn't this the best outcome?"

"—Isn't that the best of both worlds???"

was full of relaxed and comfortable tones, between the lines, but with a frank voice, which finally made Han Anguo's heart gradually shake a little.

Of course, Han Anguo can understand and accept Tian Wei's view that 'we are not enemies for the time being';

Because the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong does not fall, it means that neither Liu Wu, the king of Liang, nor Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor, can become the prince's younger brother/prince.

Therefore, it is indeed as Tian Wei said: Before Liu Rong lost the qualification to compete for the throne, Liu Wu, the king of Liang that Han Anguo was loyal to, and Liu Yu, Tian Wei's nephew, did not have an opposing position at all.

Because Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor, the only possible contradiction is 'who will be the prince'.

And the premise of this contradiction is that the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong fell.

At this point, Han Anguo can actually convince himself to accept Tian Wei's proposal to 'join forces to bring down Liu Rong'.

But the second half of Tian Wei's words made Han Anguo feel a burst of inexplicable ······

Fear!

"Tian Wei ······"

"Tian Wei ·········"

"I didn't tell a lie, but in this moment, my anger disappeared;"

"Even, I have already given birth to the idea of nodding in agreement······"

"-I'm afraid that in less than twenty or thirty years, there will be more people in the Chang'an court."

"I just don't know who will sit on the throne at that time·········"

Thinking like this, Han Anguo took a deep breath and looked up at Tian Wei who was sitting opposite, but his thoughts were still flowing rapidly.

After thinking about it again, a shallow smile finally appeared on Han Anguo's face.

It's just that this smile is different from the cramped and polite smirk when Han Anguo came to Tianfu;

It is also different from the heartfelt joy that came from the previous days when Hetian Wei was 'the guest of honor'.

- This smile, from the inside out, is full of weirdness.

But it was this strange smile that made Han Anguo and Tian Wei inexplicably reach a tacit understanding······

"I never thought that Tian Gong was not only open-minded and straightforward, but also quick-thinking;"

"—even the eloquence is so convincing;"

"I'm even glad that today I'm Tian Gong's guest, not an enemy······"

Hearing that Han Anguo was going to be called, changing from 'Your Excellency' back to 'Tian Gong' again, Tian Wei only subconsciously raised his eyebrows;

When Han Anguo's slightly joking words came into Tian Wei's ears completely, Tian Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief;

On the corner of his mouth, a heartfelt smile finally hung up.

Accompanying Han Anguo, teasing and laughing at each other, Tian Wei quickly brought the topic back on track.

- What can I do to bring down the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong!

"Gongzirong himself, in fact, there is no breakthrough."

"Even if there are some minor problems, they can't pose any substantial threat to the identity of the 'emperor's eldest son'."

"Therefore, if we want to bring down Gongzi Rong, the only way is to start with the people around him."

"-I think the general, you should understand who I'm talking about."

Tian Wei said indifferently, and let Han Anguo nod his head without thinking.

The only breakthrough for the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, is his mother, who is composed of breakthroughs: Li Ji.

And the breakthrough in Kurihime······

cough cough;

can only say: Li Ji is all over the body, and it is all breakthroughs······

"Kurihime is stupid, but she's also a little clever."

"Ordinary methods, I'm afraid I can't let Kurihime be fooled."

"-Judging from the past, if it is a trivial matter that is not painful, it will not be able to hurt Gongzirong's foundation."

"So, we must fight hard to bring down Gongzi Rong in one fell swoop!"

"Only in this way can I win the opportunity to compete for the throne for King Liang and my nephew Gongzi, who are loyal to the general······"

Between the words, Tian Wei's indifferent face suddenly twisted!

The extremely incongruous ugly facial features were also completely screwed together at this moment.

On the opposite side of Tian Wei, Han Anguo also involuntarily sat up straight, made a 'please' gesture to Tian Wei, and then sat upright, making a gesture of 'listening to his ears'.

It was not until this time that among the three strategies Tian Wei offered to Han Anguo, the most important 'top policy' was finally put on the table by Tian Wei.

"Today's Empress Bo, when Her Majesty was still the crown prince, the late Empress Dowager was selected from her own family and forcibly given to Her Majesty's crown princess."

"I haven't been able to give birth to an heir so far, Queen Bo, I should have moved out of the Jiaofang Hall a long time ago and confessed in front of the ancestor's god card."

"The reason why Your Majesty has not abolished Empress Bo so far is only because the Empress Dowager has just passed away."

"But right now, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and even the entire court are all keeping an eye on the matter of the crown prince;"

"Queen Bo, I can't live in the Jiaofang Hall anymore with peace of mind······

Hearing Tian Wei's words, he saw Han Anguo raise his head thoughtfully, and said slightly tentatively: "What Tian Gong means is to use Jiaofang Hall as bait and let Li Ji do some stupid things······"

Without waiting for Han Anguo to finish speaking, he saw Tian Wei nodding heavily, grabbed the tea bowl in his hand again, and poured a sip with a black face.

"Over the years, Kurithime has done more ridiculous things than she can count;"

"But just because she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Kuri Ji escaped a lot of responsibility."

"Now, there are even rumors inside and outside the government and the opposition: as long as Gongzi Rong is here, no matter what Na Li Ji does, he will definitely not be punished by His Majesty."

"But if someone is above the court, asks His Majesty to play in person, abolishes Empress Bo, and appoints Li Ji as the queen······"

There was another meaningful procrastination, which provoked Han Anguo's face, and suddenly added another point of seriousness.

Han Anguo understood.

Tian Wei's plan was to ask a certain courtier, in front of the ministers and hundreds of officials, to ask the Son of Heaven to enlighten the court: abolish the current Empress Bo and replace Li Ji as the queen.

In this way, Tianzi Qi will definitely think that the courtier who forced him to abolish and set up another one was instructed by Li Ji.

Whether in the end, Tianzi Qi thinks that Li Ji is too anxious and too ugly, or because 'Li Ji can instruct the courtiers' and is suspicious of Li Ji, it is enough to make the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong suffer an unprecedented huge blow.

If it works well, let alone make the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, lose the qualification to compete for the position of prince;

Even the lives of Li Ji and Liu Rong's mother and son may not be able to continue to exist between heaven and earth after this turmoil!

That's it······

"Then who should be sent to ask Your Majesty to abolish Empress Bo and replace it with Li Ji?"

"-If this person is not enough, I am afraid that not only will it not hurt Gongzirong, but it will also cause us to catch fire."

"But someone who has enough weight, and he has to be a courtier······"

"And why did you help us?"

Hearing Han Anguo's question, which was full of doubts, Tian Wei still had a watery expression, leaned his body on the pillow beside him, and gently rubbed the stubble between his mouth and nose with his fingertips.

"- Imperial Doctor: Kaifeng Hou Taoqing!"

Looking directly at the table made of sandalwood in front of him, Tian Wei thought about it again and again, and finally said the name of the person.

When the imperial history of the dynasty, the founding father - the son of the Marquis of Kaifeng Tao She, the second Marquis of Kaifeng: Tao Qing.

"Doctor Yushi has always been privately called 'Yaxiang' by both the government and the opposition."

"In the past few years, the prime ministers of my Han family have often been transferred from the imperial historians."

"——Tao Qing, as a doctor of imperial history, must also hope that he can remove the word "Asia" in "Yaxiang", and live an addiction of avoiding Taoism and courtesy."

"But some time ago, after Prime Minister Shen Tujia died of illness, His Majesty has not been in a hurry to pay respects to the Prime Minister;"

"There is even news in the market that His Majesty is planning to worship Zhou Yafu, the chief lieutenant, as the new prime minister."

"At such a juncture, Tao Qing is definitely willing to do something, so that he can show himself in front of His Majesty, and then fight for it one last time."

"This gives me an opportunity to take advantage of;"

"As long as someone tells Tao Qing: Your Majesty actually wants to make Li Ji the queen, but it is only because of the courtiers and hundreds of officials, and there is no important minister with enough weight to speak, Tao Qing will inevitably take some measures."

"And such an important minister as the Imperial Doctor, especially Tao Qing, who only knew Wei Wei and Nuo Nuo in the past, but never took the initiative to play, actually played during the court meeting without warning, and asked His Majesty to appoint Li Ji as the queen······"

"Hey ······"

"- His son Rong, even if it is a towering tree, it should be cut off by Tao Qing's hoe and every root······"

In the end, Tian Wei's gloomy face also inexplicably brought a grim smile.

But Han Anguo's attention was not on Tian Wei's ugly face and the grim smile that sent chills down his spine.

"What Tian Gong said is very reasonable."

"But Tao Qing, the imperial historian, has always been looking forward to the mistakes of the inner history;"

"For other people's suggestions, Tao Qing has always been in the left ear and out of the right ear."

"-Even if Tao Qing really wants to be the prime minister, wants to show himself in front of His Majesty, and then finally fights for the position of prime minister;"

"Who should tell Tao Qing that His Majesty wants to make Li Ji the queen?"

Saying with a puzzled face, Han Anguo couldn't help but slowly raise his head;

When he saw Tian Wei looking at him with a hint of banter, the worry on Han Anguo's face only froze on his face for a long time······

"I won't hide it from the general~"

"——The general was swept out of the house by King Liang, which is already a matter known to women and children inside and outside the government and the opposition."

"Therefore, the general only needs to come to the door in person and tell Tao Qing in person: King Liang's cold reception made the general feel very angry;"

"The general wants to take revenge on King Liang and sabotage King Liang's affairs, so he made this suggestion to Tao Qing······"

"Hey······ hey"

"-Yi Tao Qing's brain, he, he will definitely believe it······"

Hey smiled and said a word, Tian Wei finally got up from his seat, and patted his trouser leg with a little contrived;

On the lips, I still don't forget to add a sentence at the end: "As for the aftermath~"

"-Your Majesty blames it, even if Tao Qing doesn't die, at least, it will be a dismissal and an old man."

"At that time, he was Tao Qing, and he had the title of Marquis of Kaifeng, but he did not have the slightest authority in his hands, and he was far away from the center of the temple;"

"And the general, with this incident, has returned to King Liang's side and received King Liang's letter."

"Under the advantages of one and the other, even if Tao Qing holds a grudge against the general, what can he do with the general·········

Call~

Brain-burning.

That's it for today.

Good night, great father~
