In the cold winter season, the scenery of the Qujiang pond is bleak, but the king of Shu who has been "idle" for a long time is still living in the villa of the water house to "recuperate", these days are indeed idle, a lazy sleep to the corner of the time to get up, put on a white fox in the big fur, climb the high pavilion built near the pond, and do not call the tea maid who is sent around to buy all the time, and personally Hou Tang to cook tea and drink, always raise his eyes, look at the rapid wind swept across the pool, swing the cold waves, far from the royal hibiscus garden, plum color is just like this bleak and cold Tianshui room, the only Danyan.

At the end of the year, there was no major event for the king of Shu, he had the heart to enjoy this leisure, and he didn't want to be quiet in the end or be disturbed, and the confidant steward inquired that the king of Shu had gotten up, and found it all the way, and presented a letter of worship, saying that it was to send Zhou to send people to Sutian Mayang.

The King of Shu was furious: "At this time, he dared to come to visit!" ”

The steward usually took a lot of benefits from Awata's horses, although he was frightened by the master's angry reprimand, but he dared to have the courage to intercede for the Dongying people: "Awata-kun did not dare to be blatant, and sent people after a lot of twists and turns, so he sent this letter of worship to cover people's ears and eyes, and what he asked for was also a secret meeting with His Highness, and he should be anxious that Guangyang's team of Zhineng would be wiped out, although the Queen Mother was afraid of the Turks and did not dare to pursue it, she might not let go of the Zhou envoys, and hoped that His Highness could think of a son to turn around for them, and it would be best to completely let Zhineng get rid of suspicion." ”

The King of Shu sneered: "The matter of Guangyang, since they were instructed by the Turks, why didn't they go to the Turks to try to save them at this time?" Thanks to their self-proclaimed ambition, they have been carefully cultivated for the Japanese royal family, acting cautiously and loyally, and they will never expose their hiding, let alone betray, as a result, the ten heads of Guangyang actually succumbed to the princess of Jin and a woman, maybe even I confessed! ”

"Not really." The steward wiped away the cold sweat: "If the Queen Mother knew that this matter was related to His Royal Highness, how could she be so calm?" ”

Although the king of Shu said that he was annoyed that there was a mistake between the enemies of Dongying, he actually knew that although these dead people would not betray the mastermind, it was inevitable that there would be greed for life and fear that the dead could not stand the torture, and Dongying sneaked through the Great Zhou These wills did provide a lot of convenience for him to act, just like this time by the Turkic mastermind to put the epidemic poison, if it can really cause the loss of Weize Pass, not only the death penalty of Wuwei Hou can not escape, even the Jin Wang and his wife are also to blame, the loss of Jinshuo endangers Henan, which can be described as the last line of defense in Gyeonggi, no matter how Empress Dowager Wei is afraid of him, I'm afraid that when he launches a petition from the party ministers, he can't refuse to use him, the prince, to guard Henan again, to save He Zhou's precarious national fortunes, and as long as he can defeat Pan Bo's rebel army, he will be able to lay down his prestige, and then Empress Dowager Wei will no longer be helpless.

It's a pity that the success was successful, not only did Wei Zeguan not be lost, but even Guangyang Zhineng was the initiator by the princess of Jin.

The soup in the tea kettle is boiling and getting old, but the king of Shu has no intention of throwing the tea into the boil again, getting up and pacing in the pavilion, and only said for a while: "It is inconvenient for me to see Awata Mayang, you can secretly meet with one of them, and tell him that he does not need to worry, I expected that the queen mother did not dare to ask the Turks, and deliberately let the party ministers seconded Wang Huaizhun, and the queen mother suspected me of having bad intentions, lest I calculate to provoke the fire, as long as he insisted that the enemy in Guangyang was definitely not from Dongying, but for the slander of other countries, the intention was not only to provoke the five military criminals again, It is also necessary to destroy the friendship between the Great Zhou and Dongying. ”

After pacing around, he added: "Dongying is far overseas, and does not border the territory of the Great Zhou, since the naval battle of Baijiang Village, the Dongying battleship was sunk, and the navy was annihilated, and there is no ability to attack on a large scale at this time, the Queen Mother does not know these circumstances, so she is more vigilant against Silla, and treats Dongying and Silla The two countries have always been different, although because of the accident in Guangyang, there will be suspicions, but because of the fear of the power of the five departments, and do not dare to ask, as long as Dongying sends an envoy to show submission again, declaring that there is no malicious intent to attack, the Queen Mother will of course favor Dongying, otherwise it is difficult to justify herself, In the name of cowardice. ”

The steward promised again and again, and then he presented two more secret letters, both of which were sent from Jinyang.

The King of Shu hurriedly opened it, one was Guo Ju'an's handwriting, and the other was Yang Huaixi's statement.

The king of Shu first read Guo Ju'an's handwriting, praised it again and again, and ordered the steward to immediately invite all the strategists to come to this council, and then read Yang Huaixi's secret letter, because Guo Ju'an had written that Yang Huaixi had indeed succeeded in gaining the trust of the princess of Jin, and the family had entered the palace of the king of Jin to live, as if he had become a wingman of the king of Jin, so he looked at Yang Huaixi's book to tell him about this, and the king of Shu was not surprised, but when he read it, he understood why Yang Huaixi was able to gain trust in a short period of time.

Originally, many of Yang Huaixi's proposals were quite conservative, not in line with the King of Shu's wishes, and then he was more pedantic in his life, and the rest of the wingmen have always been estranged, and he was rejected by everyone, and was gradually snubbed by the King of Shu.

Because in his opinion, Yang Huaixi claimed to be a teacher of Jiang Duyu, maybe it was a fabrication in order to gain trust, Jiang Duyu's protégés, there are still many officials in the court, He Zhan and Wang Ningzhi are talents with bright futures, if you want to know that there is such a fellow disciple as Yang Huaixi, why didn't he take the initiative to get acquainted with him? Just based on empty words, although the princess of the Jin Dynasty is said to be a female streamer, she can govern the government, which proves that the wisdom of the city government is indeed stronger than ordinary, how can she trust Yang Huaixi because of the word "same door"?

But Yang Huaixi has become a "chicken rib" for the king of Shu, it is useless to stay around, and it is unnecessary to abandon the killing, so he accepted the advice as an attempt, although the strategists who have always had a gap with Yang Huaixi have also reminded the king of Shu that he should detain his wife and children as hostages to prevent him from betraying the lord and seeking glory, but the king of Shu laughed: "Although Yang Gong is pedantic and conservative, he is not ignorant and short-sighted, how can he really take refuge in the princess of Jin and the use of a female generation to abandon her son?" Does he think that the Queen Mother will not succeed in helping King Ye of Jin to seize the throne because of her importance to Princess Jin? Moreover, although this king is not talented, he has always used people without suspicion and suspicion, Yang Gong is willing to sneak into Jinyang at risk to help my great cause, how can I instead detain his wife and child as a hostage to threaten and prevent it, such behavior, isn't it the heart of Dahan loyalty? ”

The scene attracted many wingmen to praise "His Royal Highness's benevolence and righteousness", but in fact, the king of Shu was confident that he was the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Huaixi would never switch to the princess of Jin, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also because he was not afraid that Yang Huaixi would betray and betray.

Although Yang Huaixi once served as the first strategist of the King of Shu to be trusted, he knew a lot of secrets, but the King of Shu no longer needed to hide his ambitions from the Queen Mother, whether or not Yang Huaixi informed, the battle of life and death between him and the Empress Dowager Wei was inevitable, Yang Huaixi did not have conclusive evidence in his hands, and provided it to the Empress Dowager Wei to justifiably ask the King of Shu to be punished, how could the King of Shu be afraid of Yang Huaixi's betrayal, but let him move his family to Jinyang, and further fulfill the reputation of "Corporal Lixian" and "Employing People without Doubt", and attract more virtuous conscience, especially those orthodox, the better the reputation of the king of Shu, the more they can make them believe that although the king of Shu is the biological father of the Son of Heaven, he will never follow the dictatorship of the Empress Dowager Wei and manipulate the Son of Heaven like a puppet.

It was precisely because the King of Shu originally did not have much hope that Yang Huaixi would succeed in winning the letter of Princess Jin, and he was quite surprised to learn that he had a plan, but after reading Yang Huaixi's secret report, his suspicions were completely dispelled.

It turned out that Yang Huaixi said this in the letter-

Knowing that Guangyang was in an urgent situation, the princess of Jin went to the town to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Yang Huaixi firmly believed that this was an excellent opportunity, so he took the initiative to go with him, pretending to do his best to prevent and control the epidemic, and he could grasp the development of the situation nearby. If Princess Jin turns the tide, he will take the opportunity to win the trust.

The result naturally violated Yang Huaixi's "wish", so he decided to act according to the aftermath.

Yang Huaixi's plan is to recommend to the princess of Jin through Wei Wen, first praise him for his merit of working tirelessly and not fearing the plague to save the people of Guangyang, when meeting with the princess of Jin, Yang Huaixi again "inadvertently" revealed that he had been taught by Jiang Duyu, and it was smooth at first, who would have thought that the princess of Jin would know early that Yang Huaixi had been a strategist of the king of Shu, and debunked him in person, Yang Huaixi had no choice but to admit that he was installed by the king of Shu, but because he was neglected, he had the intention of changing to the lord of Ming, and the princess of Jin certainly did not believe his words, Xu still had the intention of spying on the secrets of the Shu King's system, and did not kill the killer, pretending to trust, but in fact put him under house arrest.

Yang Huaixi thought that if he didn't tell the secrets of the Shu Dynasty, it would not be enough to win the trust of the princess of Jin, racked his brains, remembered that when he was still in Jinyang, he heard that the princess of Jin had captured a fine worker, and he thought that he could use it.

Therefore, he confessed the matter of the King of Shu's secret assistance to Dongying's enemies, and reminded the princess that the enemy might be from Dongying.

The letter wrote: "Foolish and ugly, Princess Jin is indeed a cautious person, even if she knows that His Royal Highness has this secret, there is no evidence, just relying on foolish empty words, since he would not report to the Queen Mother so rashly to ask His Royal Highness, foolish did not expect that Dongying Zhineng would be caught so easily, let alone did not take poison immediately after being caught, but when the princess of Jin debunked Yu Zeng to assist His Royal Highness, she was surprised to find that He Zhan was not with Princess Jin only because of the friendship of relatives and friends and advocated the new policy, Your Highness imagined, if Princess Jin had no ambition, how could she instruct He Zhan to secretly investigate Yu's whereabouts, Concerned about His Highness's Wingman Strategist? Although the fool has been taught by a famous teacher, but it is not as good as entering the office, and even the queen mother is negligent and foolish, and the princess of Jin knows the identity of the fool, although it must originate from He Zhan, why should she be so careful? Although the princess of Jin is on the defensive of foolishness, the queen mother is ignorant and ignorant, and if Her Royal Highness thinks about it, doesn't it prove that the princess of Jin is definitely not the foolish and loyal queen mother? Such a secret, fool should immediately report to His Highness, but if you can't win the trust of Princess Jin and can't be free, how can you get your wish? Therefore, after thinking twice, it was revealed that it was not important in the eyes of fools, and the so-called secret. ”

Who would have thought that after listening to Yang Huaixi's words, the princess of Jin was convinced that the enemy was Dongying Zhi Neng, and suspected that the Guangyang epidemic was caused by the Turks to instruct the Dongying people to inject epidemic poison.

I didn't expect that the enemy was really a ten-person leader with a will, and even a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was escorted into Guangyang in public, knowing that he was in danger, and in addition to being frightened, he was deceived by Princess Jin and succeeded, and he really confessed his accomplices one by one!
