In the study, Ziyu bowed to Su Jingqian and said, "Master, I have placed Lord Jiang's family in the Zhuangzi outside the city according to your orders. ”

"Well, can we make arrangements over there?" Su Jingqian lowered his eyes, and his white porcelain cold jade-like fingers were twisting a chess piece on the chessboard, playing against himself.

"The condemned prisoners have been fed dumb and confusing drugs, and they are so easy that nothing will happen until tomorrow's execution." Ziyu smiled at the corner of her lips, and looked at Su Jingqian with admiration in her eyes, "The master is really clever, Jiang Huailang is indeed difficult to ask to leave, and finally said that Nie Shu was willing to leave." ”

"Jiang Huailang can get out of the mud in this smoky Nanling court without staining, he has his own style and bones, he is upright and honest for many years, even if the court bears him, he would rather die than be a fugitive." Su Jingqian looked at the chessboard with a calm expression, picked up a white piece and put it on the chessboard, and asked, "What about Nie Shu?" ”

"Zishu has gone." There was a look of worry in Ziyu's eyes, "But I don't know if General Nie will accept this love." ”

Su Jingqian hooked his lips and smiled, with a confident determination on his face, "He will." ”

Ziyu watched his master play leisurely, and his eyebrows exuded a strategizing indifference, as if everything in this world was like a chess piece in his hand, under his slender jade-like fingertips.

"Master, Ziyu has something to understand."

"What?" Su Jingqian twisted the white son and raised his eyes to glance at him.

"The master asked General Nie at the border pass to release the news that Lord Jiang was going to be beheaded, but at that time, Master Jiang was arrested and not sentenced, how was the master sure that Lord Jiang was going to be beheaded?"

Ziyu thinks about it now, and she still admires it so much.

The day before Jiang Huailang was arrested, the master asked them to send a message to the border pass, although it took more than half a month to get to the border quickly, but Jiang Huailang's sentence was only known last month, and the notice was posted two days ago, why was the master sure that Jiang Huailang would be sentenced to beheading so early?

Su Jingqian put down the white son in his hand and said lightly: "If it was just a matter of persuading Emperor Dehui not to build a star-picking tower for his favorite concubine, he would naturally not be beheaded." But Jiang Huailang has been strict with himself all his life, he has touched the interests of the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even if Emperor Dehui does not want him to die, he must die. ”

"Are you saying that Emperor Dehui will issue an order to thoroughly investigate the matter of flood relief and food and wages?"

"Not bad. In the matter of disaster relief, none of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government had clean hands. If it is really necessary to investigate thoroughly, Jiang Huailang's temperament must be thoroughly investigated, and at that time, no matter which one is found, it will affect the whole body. A sunspot landed smoothly on the chessboard, and Su Jingqian raised his eyes and looked at Ziyu with a smile, "You say, who will it point to in the end?" ”

Ziyu suddenly said with a smile in his heart: "Zuo Xiang." ”

Su Jingqian nodded, "Zuo Xiang covers the sky with one hand in the Nanling court, and Emperor Dehui has been obedient to him for many years, and most of the silver for disaster relief is afraid that it will fall into his pocket." Therefore, from the part of the Jianghuai Lang, it is doomed to death. ”

"The master gave the news to General Nie in advance, because he was afraid that General Nie would not be able to rush back later after learning the news?"

"If we don't give the news to Nie Shu, he won't know at all." Su Jingqian evoked a hint of a smile, and a faint cold light flashed in his eyes, "The Nie family and the Jiang family have been friends for generations, Emperor Dehui is so scruptuous, how could he let this news spread back to the border pass?" When Emperor Dehui blocked the news, Nie Shu was able to know about it, and he didn't return to intercede for Jiang Huailang, how could Emperor Dehui not be angry? ”

On the war and scheming, on the scheming heart.

The master's plan to kill two birds with one stone was effortlessly reaped the profits.

Ziyu had to look at the man in front of him with admiration again, although he had already been impressed by him, he still couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, Emperor Dehui will only be more suspicious of General Nie, and at the same time, the master will send people to take the lead in discussing the affairs of the Nie family in the people, just to completely intensify the grievances between General Nie and Emperor Dehui, so General Nie will go to rob the prison without hesitation." ”

Su Jingqian smiled lightly and picked up a white child and landed on the chessboard without hesitation, "The Nie family and the Jiang family are world friends, Jiang Huailang treats the Nie family brothers and sisters as his own, and the Nie family has a very good relationship with the Jiang family's son, besides, Jiang Huailang will end up like this if he asks for his life for the people, Nie Shu is affectionate and righteous, and he will save him if he is affectionate and reasonable." What's more, the royal family also stabbed him in the heart. ”

"You mean Miss Nie?"

"Old General Nie died in civil strife in order to support Emperor Dehui to ascend the throne, but he didn't want Emperor Dehui to take the throne soon after he thought about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, eager to regain the military power of the Nie family, and finally attacked the only remaining son and daughter of General Nie, not only forced Miss Nie to death, but also let Nie Shu return to the barren land of the border pass and let him fend for himself." Su Jingqian sneered, his tone full of sarcasm, "Just ask, what kind of hot-blooded son wouldn't be cooled by this 'emperor's grace'?" ”

"In this way, General Nie is probably completely dead set on the imperial court."

"You might as well guess why I passed the news of Jiang Huailang's conviction to Nie Shu in early August, but he returned to Nanling City to intercede after three months?"

"Ziyu doesn't know." Ziyu pondered for a moment and shook his head.

Su Jingqian stared at the chessboard and smiled more and more meaningfully, "When Emperor Dehui had not yet ascended the throne, although Zuo Xiang and General Nie belonged to the same faction of Emperor Dehui, they were not in harmony with each other, and they had been fighting for many years. After the death of General Nie, Zuo Xiang naturally would not let go of the Nie family. As early as when Nie Shu was repatriated to the border pass, the food and salary distributed to Nie Jiajun by the household department had already begun to be deducted. Zuo Xiang has always persuaded Emperor Dehui to suppress the Nie family with his merits, and Emperor Dehui was already afraid of the Nie family's army, so he had long planned to retrain an army to replace it. This kind of unkind and unjust behavior has already angered the soldiers of the Nie family's army. Expecting profit, hoping for profit, and seeking profit is the driving force of the world. The Nie family's army was originally trained and cultivated by the Nie family, if you say who you are loyal to, in terms of interests, it is based on the court, but in terms of sentiment and righteousness, it should be based on the Nie family. In the past, he was loyal to the imperial court with the Nie family, which was both beneficial and righteous. But after the court cut off the salary, there is no interest, and how many people are willing to be loyal? There is only righteousness left in the word Liyi. So, what did Nie Shu do at the border in the past three months, and the things in it are self-evident. ”

Ziyu's face turned pale, and he asked with some surprise: "Master, are you deliberately testing whether General Nie has any objections?" And General Nie has been preparing at the border for three months, and he also intends to rebel? ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if he wants to rebel or not, the important thing is that he is now-" Su Jingqian firmly dropped the white son in his hand, "I have to rebel." ”

"So the master had already calculated that General Nie would go to save people, so he arranged for his subordinates to take people to secretly lurk in the secret passage next to death row in the morning. The fight over there is in full swing, and we are preparing to steal the beams and change the pillars here, so that Ziheng, who has long been disguised as a prisoner and beheading official, will send people to deliberately pick off General Nie's mask, so that General Nie's identity will be exposed, and he will have to stand with Nanling. And General Nie will definitely run away after his identity is revealed, and he will definitely go to hunt him down in order to invite merit, and he has bought us enough time to bring the prepared death row prisoners in and out of Master Jiang and his family. In the end, he also asked Zishu to lead people to rescue General Nie, who was injured and fled, as a show of gratitude. Ziyu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the person strategizing in front of the chessboard and exclaimed, "This step is interlocking step by step, and the master's move is really exquisite!" One is the Jiang Daren who is deeply loved by the people in Nanling, and the other is the general of Nanling who has a heavy army, without them, the country of Nanling is turbulent, and it is a good time! ”

"Those who plan the situation are more valuable than those who seek talents." Su Jingqian looked at the staggered black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and smiled lightly, "These two are rare good ministers and generals." ”

Ziyu nodded, "After my subordinates have seen Lord Jiang, they also respect him very much, if he can be used by our country, he will definitely be a good minister." And General Nie has long been famous and powerful, and his general talent is comparable to Xijing Longqi. ”

"After so many years, it's time for this dark chess to move." The sunspot in Su Jingqian's hand fell with a "snap" and pressed on the white seed in Fang Cai.
