Chapter 4 Who is the murderer, seeking a plan in the middle of the night!

As soon as Zhao Yu said this, there was a sudden silence in the lobby.

After a while, when Zhao Yu was a little disappointed, it was Wang Pu who took the lead in opening his mouth.

"Little Marquis, I don't know if you ever know these old things?"

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, the white-robed scholar took a sip of tea slowly, and then said:

"At the beginning of the tenth year of Daxing, Zhao Ning, the Duke of Dingguo, was poisoned in the house; In October of the twelfth year of Daxing, Zhao Fuzhi, the king of Henan, was assassinated on the way home; In September of the eighteenth year of Daxing, Ninghou Zhao Bing accidentally fell off his horse while hunting, and the medical stone was ineffective and died...... All of the above are the things of Su Zong's reign. ”

"In the summer of the fifth year of Ganlu, Zhao Ting, the Duke of Tao Guo, died at the age of thirty-two; In May of the ninth year of Ganlu, Zhao Jia, the king of Changsha, accidentally fell into the water and died in a dragon boat; In the autumn of the twelfth year of Ganlu, the British Duke Zhao Chun was assassinated and died...... All of the above are the things of Mingzong's reign. ”

"March ...... of the second year of Huang Feng"

Huang Feng is the reign of the little emperor today.

Today, His Majesty ascended the throne at a young age, and His Majesty's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Xuande, listened to the government, and Huang Jingming, the general of the auxiliary country, assisted the government, and it has been six years now.

"Mr. Wang, needless to say."

Zhao Yu waved his hand to stop Wang Pu from continuing.

The other party's words were like a morning bell at dusk, which made him sober up a lot in an instant.

Zhang Xiu, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help but say: "Little Hou Ye, before the thief died, he mentioned the word 'palace'. ”

"Don't talk about it......"

Zhao Yu waved his hand a little weakly.

The words of Wang Pu and Zhang Xiu have almost made it clear that it is the representative of today's imperial power, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and the queen mother standing behind the emperor who wants him to live the life of the whole family of the Marquis of Anguo!

Since the founding of Taizu in the south of the Canglong River, the Great Chu has gone through seven generations.

The third emperor, Emperor Wuzong of Chu, suddenly fell ill during the Northern Expedition, and finally failed to heal, and died in the army at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, leaving only a young concubine under the age of ten.

In order to ensure that the Great Chu regime would not cause too much turmoil due to his death, when he left the West, Chu Wuzong chose the brother-to-brother system instead of the primogeniture system, and entrusted the great cause of Chu to his younger brother, that is, the fourth king of Great Chu, Chu Renzong.

The two have a deep brotherly relationship, and when Chu Renzong was in power, he still took great care of his brother's young son.

But with the death of Chu Renzong, the next two emperors, Suzong and Mingzong, began to consciously or unintentionally gradually alienate many clans of the Wuzong lineage.

Not only did he gradually reduce the titles of the Wuzong lineage clan, but even worse, he secretly sent people to poison these clans of the Wuzong lineage.

In the nearly fifty years that these two emperors have reigned, dozens of clans of the Wuzong lineage have quietly fallen.

Although some people may see some clues, but afraid of the imperial power, no one dares to appeal to the world, let alone advise the emperor.

And now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Xuande, who is obedient to the government, in order to consolidate the throne, even faintly reached a tacit understanding with Huang Jingming, the auxiliary general who controls the temple, in dealing with the clan.

In the past six years or so, not only the Wuzong lineage, but even those clans of the Renzong lineage have been suppressed and purged to varying degrees.

It is not an exaggeration to say that "the most poisonous woman's heart"!

Now, he also understands why his father, Zhao Qin, the Marquis of Anguo, often sighs and sighs sadly.

It turned out that he had realized this for a long time!

"When her father died, Yu was grief-stricken and confused. Dare to ask you, what should Yu Dang do about the current situation? ”

Looking at everyone in the audience, Zhao Yu looked sad and asked out loud.

I saw that the housekeeper Fu Bo frowned, Zhang Xiu frowned and thought deeply, only Wang Pu raised his eyebrows and said with relief:

"Little Marquis, it's useless to think about it now, it's better to do the funeral of the old marquis first, as well as the assassination of the court above, and then talk about anything else."

"Now, that's all there is to it."

Zhao Yu glanced at Wang Pu, saw the other party smiling and nodded, so he had to sigh and let Fu Bo prepare to handle all the matters of the old marquis's funeral.

As soon as the matter was discussed, the crowd dispersed.

Zhao Yu went out, but saw that Zhang Xiu was still sitting in place and did not get up.

"Youwei, you've been working all night, so it's better to rest early. Fauber has asked his servants to prepare a room for you. ”

"Little Hou Ye, I feel that Mr. Wang seems to have unfinished words that have not yet been said."

Zhang Xiu hesitated, but still expressed his intuition.

Relying on the words of the thief leader Ma Laosan, he vaguely realized that it was the hand of the court.

And that Mr. Wang came to the same conclusion as himself based on just clues, and even more affirmative than himself in attitude, which shows that he is a person of great wisdom.

This kind of person, if he is not sure in his heart, how can he take the initiative to come to serve the Marquis of Anguo, which has suffered great changes?

"Thank you for your doubts."

Zhao Yu glanced at Zhang Xiu in surprise, he didn't expect him to see this, it can only be said that he is an intuition as a general.

In Zhao Yu's opinion, how could a person like Wang Pu, who could leave the famous "Pingbian Policy" in Chinese history, be stumped by this trivial matter of his own Hou Mansion.

…………

That night, a figure came to Wang Pu's room where he was resting and knocked lightly on the door.

As the door opened, Wang Pu looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that the little marquis was in a hurry and came so early."

Zhao Yu stepped into Wang Pu's room and said with a smile:

"I thought about it every day, I was confused in my heart, and I couldn't sleep, so I came to Mr. to solve my doubts. But Yu is a little curious, I wonder when Mr. thinks I will come to visit? ”

Wang Pu closed the door, asked Zhao Yu to sit down, and said:

"I thought that after the Hou Ye was buried, the little Hou Ye would come to ask Zaixia."

"Do you think that Mr. Yu has already made a bamboo in his mind?" Zhao Yu asked rhetorically.

"It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, how can everything be as expected." Wang Pu said while making tea for Zhao Yu, "Little Marquis, please!" ”

Zhao Yu drank all the tea in the cup and said solemnly:

"The things of the world are nothing more than doing one's best and obeying the destiny of heaven. I wonder if Mr. would like to give advice to solve the confusion in Yu's heart? ”

"There are three strategies in the top, middle and bottom, I don't know if the little marquis is willing to listen?"

"Please give me advice!"

Zhao Yu got up and left his seat and bowed deeply.

Wang Pu slowly stretched out three fingers and said: "The best policy, make the inside story of the assassination of the old marquis public, and inform the people of the world that today's son slaughtered the clan for no reason, and if it is not a good monarch, then rebel against the army, and there is no way to cut it down." In the middle strategy, the yin knot is heroic, the soldiers are secretly trained, the talents are stored, and the changes are quietly watched, waiting for the time. Make a decision, offer Tai and Yu Liang, and ask the soldiers of Daliang to avenge their family. ”

After that, Wang Pu didn't say much, quietly sipped the tea, and waited for Zhao Yu's choice.

Zhao Yu frowned and thought about it, and it took a long time before he spoke:

"Although the best strategy is really a solution to Yu's hatred, this plan is like a chestnut in the fire, and it is really too dangerous."

In the past few decades, there have been many assassinated Zhao family clans, but no one has rebelled, which can be seen.

"Yu is a great Chu clan, born as a Chu person, and died as a Chu soul, offering Chu land to avenge personal revenge, not the Zhao family. This is a policy, please don't mention it again in the future. In Yiyu's view, there may be a feasible opportunity for the middle strategy, but please make it clear to Mr. What is the time of day? ”

Seeing that Zhao Yu gave up the upper and lower strategies and chose the middle strategy, Wang Pu was quite happy in his heart.

Since ancient times, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king.

These two strategies are said to be strategies, but it is better to say that he Wang Pu is a test of Zhao Yu's heart. Now it seems that the other party's answer made him extremely satisfied.

And Zhao Yu's last question made Wang Pu extremely satisfied.

This little marquis obviously grasped the most important point!
