Chapter 281: Murder by Knife
The contents of the two secret letters can be said to be similar, both advocating cooperation between the two sides to facilitate each other's seizure of power in their respective courts.
But when they saw the end, they couldn't help but be surprised, because the two letters were not sent by the same person. In other words, one of the forces chose Fu Zuoliang, while the other chose Han Zeng.
This is interesting, the two forces that were hostile to each other in the Jingyuan Dynasty were connected with the two forces that were hostile to each other in the Southern Zhao Dynasty. The elites of the two countries, who were supposed to unite and cooperate with each other, inexplicably developed horizontal ties and colluded with each other just to eradicate the hostile forces in their own courts.
The occurrence of this kind of thing has to be said to be a kind of sadness for both countries.
What made Shao Xi even more angry was that the general of Nanzhao was still a little disciplined and refused to collude with outsiders, and the two stinky and shameless people in the Jingyuan Dynasty he worked for were actually people who took the initiative to contact the outside world, which made Shao Xi feel ashamed for the Jingyuan Dynasty.
People say that family ugliness should not be publicized, and now the two hostile forces of the Jingyuan Dynasty took the initiative to collude with Nan Zhao just for internal fighting, which is simply a joke for Nan Zhao to watch himself.
In order to compete for power and profit, for his own selfishness, he did not hesitate to collude with foreign countries to damage the interests of his country, in Shao Xi's opinion, this is extremely shameless.
If such a person is given power, how can he govern the country in an orderly and harmonious manner? How can we bring peace, prosperity, prosperity and peace to the people of the world? How can such a selfish person deserve such power?
During this trip to Nanzhao, Shao Xi finally figured out some things, and finally linked some of the previous things with some people, although it is not yet certain, but he finally has some eyebrows.
All that's left to do is figure out which things were done by whom, or at least to who you should take revenge on.
No wonder Lao Wu refused to tell himself who the enemy was when he was killed, and now it seems that he has to face some powerful people, if he does not have extraordinary skills, he really can't shake them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a grasshopper shaking a tree.
Shao Xi now finally understands why Lao Wu has been forcing himself to practice martial arts and increase his knowledge for so many years. If you don't have real skills, you really can't fight against these people, and if you don't do it, you will be crushed and you will never recover.
Sorrowful! The existence of these people is the sorrow of the Jingyuan Empire, and the sorrow of those who died in vain in the course of their power struggle is even more sorrowful. There are always people in this world who will do whatever it takes to gain power, even if it is to take the lives of innocent people.
What is the difference between these people and the demons who came out of hell?
It took Shao Xi a while to calm down the resentment in his heart, and when he calmed down, Shao Xi thought of how to let these people suffer the consequences? With his current ability, it is impossible to confront the other party head-on, and the only way is to use the irreconcilable contradictions between them to borrow a knife to kill people, but how to borrow this knife?
The two of them read the MeSign almost at the same time, and they each found what they needed from the MeLetter. Shao Xi and Han Zeng glanced at each other quite tacitly and then exchanged the letters, and they both got what they wanted.
Fu Zuoliang's letter had already indicated that someone in the Jingyuan Kingdom wanted to cooperate with him to create turmoil in the southern border of Jingyuan at some point in the future, so as to cooperate with this person to seize power in the Jingyuan Dynasty, and at the same time promised Fu Zuoliang rich benefits, and could even send troops to help him seize the throne of Southern Zhao in the future.
Although it is not known how Fu Zuoliang replied to this letter, the current content of this letter is enough to reasonably suspect that Fu Zuoliang colluded with others to launch a mutiny in the Southern Zhao Dynasty in order to seize the Zhao family in Southern Zhao and seek the emperor's throne.
This alone was enough to make Zhao Hongjin extremely suspicious of Fu Zuoliang, so that he would strip him of the power of his auxiliary minister, even if he remembered his status as an old minister of the former dynasty, at least he would expel him from the court and let him go.
This was exactly the result that Han Zeng wanted the most, so when he read this letter, the whole person was extremely excited. Because of the exclusion of Fu Zuoliang, he can monopolize power in the court, as long as he controls the little emperor Zhao Hongjin, the world of Southern Zhao is up to him and becomes the de facto ruler.
When the court of Southern Zhao is controlled by him, he can exchange interests with the superior of the Jingyuan Dynasty who cooperated before, and when the time is ripe, he can replace Zhao Hongjin, so that the Southern Zhao State can change its dynasty and become "South Korea".
This is Han Zeng's wishful thinking.
At the same time, Shao Xi also got very useful and very important information from Han Zeng's letter.
Since the assassination of the envoys of the White Night Kingdom, Shao Xi has always suspected that there are two rebel forces in the Jingyuan Dynasty, and the purpose of these two forces is the same, they are both plotting to seize the imperial power of Jingyuan, so they secretly compete with each other and carry out sabotage activities with each other.
Although Shao Xi knew about the existence of these two forces, he had never been able to find out who these two forces belonged to? Who is it for?
Now the two secret letters seen in the Southern Zhao Kingdom have revealed the mystery for Shao Xi, and he really knows who these two forces are? At the same time, I also learned about the great difficulties and dangers I will face in the future.
One of these two forces is the power of the black-robed man, and one of the two names that Shao Xi currently has in his hands must be the black-robed man, who is the culprit of the Fengjiazhuang bloodshed and the target of Shao Xi's revenge.
Shao Xi turned his head to look at Lao Wu, but saw Lao Wu sitting there expressionlessly, without making any eye contact with him.
Through Lao Wu's reaction to the two secret letters before and after, Shao Xi had already roughly judged which of the two names was a black-robed person. However, until Lao Wu told him personally, Shao Xi would remain skeptical, and one day Lao Wu would tell him a clear answer, and then he would launch a full-scale revenge operation.
At the same time, another name also had to attract Shao Xi's attention.
Since they are all rebel forces, and they all want to put each other to death, then their revenge can completely rely on the forces of the other party, and at the same time have more evidence, and after the revenge is completed, this side of the forces will also be eradicated.
The best way to borrow a knife to kill without being hurt by this knife is to turn yourself into a scabbard. Although you can't control how this knife hurts people, you can find a way to become the sheath of this knife and try not to hurt yourself.
And when to cut off the hand that holds the sword? It depends on how the situation develops and when that knife poses a threat to itself. Until then, all I have to do is make good use of this knife.
"Lord Xiangguo, what do you think of these two forces in the Jingyuan Dynasty? Which of them do you think has a better chance of being a winner? ”
Han Zeng was stunned by Shao Xi's question, wasn't the first thing he thought of after getting these two names was to inform Xiao Changyi, the emperor of the Jingyuan Empire, about this after returning to Jingyuan Kingdom?
What do you mean by this? As a courtier of Jing Yuanguo, after learning that there were people in the court colluding with foreign countries, shouldn't you make a pilgrimage to your honor and start to eradicate these hidden dangers in the court? Why do you care which of these two forces will lose and which side will win? ”
Shao Xi showed a sly smile on his face, and said to Han Zeng unhurriedly: "Lord Xiangguo has said that I am just a courtier of Jingyuan Kingdom, as for who is a courtier of Jingyuan Kingdom, then you must judge the situation and adapt to the situation, as long as it is beneficial to yourself, it doesn't matter who you are a courtier, the important thing is that you are still a courtier of Jingyuan Kingdom." There are no immortal people in this world, and there are no emperors for thousands of generations, and the change of imperial power is always inevitable, so why can't I bet in advance? Isn't it normal for juniors to ask Xiangguo for some opinions before placing a bet? ”
Han Zeng immediately understood what Shao Xi meant, and dared to feel that this kid thought that in the future, the imperial power of the Jingyuan Empire would definitely fall into the hands of one of the two forces, so he wanted to choose a side in advance, so as not to temporarily hold on to his feet and not get benefits.
I didn't expect this kid to have so many ideas at a young age, and it turned out to be not a fuel-efficient lamp, but this is better, and it is more likely to win him over if there are entanglements of interests.
"Xiaoyou is really thoughtful and long-term, and he is really a handsome man who understands current affairs. Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, the old man is optimistic about the person who cooperates with me, this person now has a unique innate advantage, and at the same time, from the talent, the heart is also more suitable to control the future Jingyuan Dynasty, compared with the person who cooperated with Fu Zuoliang, this person has now mastered great power, and in the future, with the development of the situation, it will definitely form a crushing trend, becoming the final winner. ”
Shao Xi hugged his shoulders, put his thumb on his chin, and pretended to be contemplative: "Lord Xiangguo and the younger generation see very similarly, and the younger generation also thinks that the court of the future Jingyuan Empire must belong to the one in the mouth of the Xiangguo Lord. As Lord Xiangguo said, this person's current status already has a huge advantage, not to mention that the current saint still trusts this person and entrusts him. ”
Han Zeng was originally worried that Shao Xi would ruin his good deeds after learning about this, but he didn't want to find a rare common ground of interest now, which was a good time to draw him into his camp.
With such a person cooperating in the Jingyuan Dynasty, it may be helpful for what is planned in the future, and even if it cannot cooperate, there will be one less layer of resistance.
Shao Xi's ability Han Zeng still recognizes it very much, if such a young and promising person is willing to participate in it, he must get twice the result with half the effort. Even if you can't be partners, at least don't be enemies.
"If Xiaoyou really has the intention of taking refuge in one of them, the old man's suggestion is to take refuge in this person, and the risk of cooperating with this person is not only low, but the benefits obtained after the future will definitely exceed Xiaoyou's imagination, since he is also a courtier in the court, why not choose a more favorable party?"
"What Lord Xiangguo said is very true, and the younger generation also thinks so."
