Chapter 1093: Xu Xiuneng already knew
This time, He Zhan didn't have time to discuss with Eleven Niang.
But it doesn't have to be negotiable.
Empress Dowager Wei has already moved the knife to the King of Jin, although it has failed, but the days of the Jin Palace's "partial and peaceful corner" have also come to an end, and Eleven Niang must understand that she can no longer spare the benefits of the fisherman, and the Jin Wangfu must attack, but the target is not the Queen Mother, but the King of Shu.
In He Zhan's view, it is not difficult for Empress Dowager Wei to promote peace, if the Son of Heaven advocates peace first, and then she expresses her support, then even if Wang Xiangguo and so on will definitely question it, but the doubts are simply incapable of confronting the voice, as for the people, of course they want peace, and no one wants their children and grandchildren to go to the battlefield because of the conscription order, let alone bear more and more onerous taxes because of the war.
At that time, peace will be the hope of all.
The only person who can influence the Son of Heaven is the King of Shu, so what He Zhan needs to plan is how to get the King of Shu to advocate peace.
In the next two days, He Zhan had been thinking about peace, but what he never expected was that Xu Xiuneng would also perceive the "heavenly opportunity".
Not only did he negotiate peace, Xu Xiuneng even learned about King Jin's escape!
It turned out that he had already bought off one of Gao Yuxiang's godsons, and this godson was even highly used by Gao Yuxiang, who was the "little carmine in the center of his eyebrows".
Most of the eunuchs are greedy for money, especially now that the queen mother is in power, because of convenience, they attach a lot of importance to the eunuchs, just like the power of Gao Yuxiang and Dou Fu'an, and even comparable to the high-ranking officials of the political hall, but many official eunuchs and scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty still have contempt for the likes of the eunuchs, even if they are attached on the surface, the vast majority of them still look down on them in their hearts, and the eunuchs probably understand that they cannot harvest the respect of the eunuchs from the heart, so although they will repay those who are despised. But they often don't take those who seem to be flattering seriously, they value money, because the eunuchs can't give them power, they can only give financial benefits, and money can also dress up their vanity and reflect their own value.
However, classes like Gao Yuxiang and Dou Fuan will not "die for money", they will weigh risks, such as trying to buy them to murder the queen mother, which is impossible to succeed in any case.
No matter how low it is, such as Gao Xiao, it is of course impossible to murder the Queen Mother, but leaking secrets is still operational.
Of course, Gao Xiao will also weigh the risks, for example, it is the Shu King Party who buys him, so he will never be tempted.
As for Xu Xiuneng, his purpose is nothing more than to be a high-ranking official, and there is no risk of betraying the Queen Mother, which may make Gao Xiao tempted.
Of course, there is still a risk, because the Queen Mother probably doesn't like people around her to leak secrets.
Therefore, in the matter of bribing eunuchs, He Zhan did not dare to try, because there were Jin Wang and his wife behind him, and if they were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xu Xiuneng didn't have so many worries, his purpose was to fight for more opportunities to share the worries of the Queen Mother, even if it was exposed, he would not lose his life, but the benefits were huge.
On this day, when Gao Xiao was sent away, he fell again and again - but unfortunately let the King of Jin escape!
Of course, Xu Xiuneng didn't think it was an accident, in his opinion, it must be that the princess of Jin had already bought off the maid who called Qianxi next to Ren, but the queen mother did not suspect it, of course he could not sue the Jin prince and his wife without evidence, and he now feels more and more that the Empress Dowager Wei is already clumsy, for example, she actually listened to Xie Ying's words and decided to negotiate peace with the Turks, this is obviously a fallacy of misunderstanding the country, and one day it will lead to people's hearts and minds, so it seems that the Jin dynasty has a great chance of winning? !
This is not something that Xu Xiu can like to see, but he is in a dilemma at this time.
Negotiate peace, this is a fallacy, but it is not difficult to promote it at all, it is nothing more than the Shu King Party to solve it, He Zhan can be said to have made a great contribution in vain, but Xu Xiuneng can't interfere at this time.
Because he couldn't explain how he got the news.
Fortunately, because the person he bought was Gao Xiao, not the loyal Gao Yuxiang, he knew more than He Zhan.
For example, the reason why the Queen Mother wants to negotiate peace, in addition to the two major items of finance and infighting, is also the "condition" proposed by Xie Ying - the Great Zhou court must execute the culprit of destroying the "diplomatic relations" between the two countries, Huai'en Wang He Jue!
Putting aside the monarchy, Xu Xiuneng really wanted to applaud Xie Ying, because this woman is indeed well versed in the queen mother's mind, and it is impossible for the queen mother to tolerate King Huai'en, who has seriously provoked authority, and the Turks certainly understand that King Huai'en has never endangered the so-called "diplomatic relations", and the peace negotiation just puts forward this condition, which can be said to be favored by the queen mother, what will the queen mother think? The Turks are really sincere, and Xie Ying is so witty.
But Xu Xiu can know Xie Ying, the Turks suddenly proposed to let her marry, she gladly agreed, and she was able to be unharmed in the tragedy of the robbery and killing of the people of Tong'an and the palace, if there was no prior collusion between Xie Ying and the Turks, Xu Xiu would not believe it if he died, sure enough, as soon as Xie Ying went to the Turks, she immediately became favored - the secret letter of peace was written by her and could be handed to Chang'an, which is enough to show that Ashina Qisang has a lot of faith in her.
Xie Ying must have been thinking about Ashina Qisang everywhere at this time, how could she respond to the Queen Mother's wishes?
After the peace, there will be a conspiracy!
Xu Xiuneng even faintly thought of the outline of that conspiracy, he now thought that if the operation went well, he might be able to wipe out the Jin Wang system, even if he couldn't, he could fight for a back road, he was not completely out of the possibility of seeing the wind and steering the rudder!
——
Although he was not under house arrest by the Queen Mother, he also knew that there were eyes and ears around him, so he put himself under house arrest, did not go out of the mansion, and never interacted with people.
On the contrary, the Empress Dowager Wei did not make a move for a long time, but she taught him to be puzzled, and even naïve speculation, could it be that the Empress Dowager really thanked him for taking the initiative to surrender, and saw that he was not threatening to follow the rules, so she opened the net?
Of course, the Queen Mother was not so benevolent and generous, the reason why she did not assassinate He Jue was because the battle of Anbei had not yet been decided, if He Jue died, the old ministry would riot, if only the 100,000 soldiers who had been broken up and divided into 100,000 soldiers were in turmoil, the Queen Mother was not so worried, and it was determined that there would not be much turmoil, but now the Son of Heaven has nominally had the right to govern, and the Shu Wang Party was jumping up and down restlessly, if there was chaos in the army, it was undoubtedly to grant the Shu King a handle, which was not conducive to the Queen Mother's plan.
But Xie Ying's letter of "seeking peace" undoubtedly handed a knife to the Queen Mother, and she could justifiably cut off He Jue's head.
He Jue didn't know anything about this, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't struggle anymore, because from the day he threw himself into the net, he was already mentally prepared for death.
At this time, he often poured himself a drink, looked at the direction of Taiyuan, and guessed that another year had passed in a blink of an eye, and I wondered if Xiao Jiulang, the talented son who had begged for Empress Dowager Wei for him, was all right?
He Jue really admired Xiao Gradually, got along for several years, lived and died together, and the two seemed to have forgotten their friendship, but when they parted that day, he didn't even know if his former friend was regretful and disappointed.
Perhaps when he learned that he had stopped the civil strife and targeted the Turkic barbarians, he would not still resent him.
He Jue even thought of his father-in-law who single-handedly founded the Urgent Guild, the elder who had great hopes for him, and he didn't know if there was a spirit in the sky and would approve of his decision.
It was he who killed his brother-in-law with his own hands, and I don't know if his father-in-law will hate him for being ungrateful.
But if not, father-in-law, I have no shame to face those righteous people who follow the urgent guild because of the belief in helping the world, and even more shameless to face the people in Hengzhou and Lingnan, who follow the urgent guild.
Maybe I should have died to apologize, Father, I am ashamed of you, and I should have knelt down in front of you and begged for forgiveness.
He Jue turned his back and drank the turbid wine, when the gloomy sky began to snow lightly.
