Beijing, Xingningfang.

Twilight is approaching, and the night breeze is coming.

His Royal Highness King Jin, who was drinking in the garden and listening to the wind, gently put down the wine glass in his hand and stood quietly in place, looking like waiting for the guests.

In a flash, there were two more figures in the garden, one old and one strong.

The visitors were Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Jingyue, the eldest son of Zhuguo.

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, didn't wait for the two of them to stand firm, so he bent down and gave a salute.

Zhang's father and son immediately hid aside, not daring to accept the salute.

Subsequently, Zhang Ziyi and his son Zhang Jingyue saluted Liang Ying, the king of Jin, and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, stretched out his hand to help, and Zhang's father and son stood up with a flat expression.

The scene was silent for a while, as if the air had frozen with it.

Quiet.

Voiceless.

After a long time, Liang Ying, the king of Jin, smiled lightly and invited the Zhang father and son to sit down and drink.

Zhang Ziyi was not polite, and sat down very calmly.

Zhang Jingyue hesitated for a moment and sat next to his father.

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This king first respects the old man with a glass of wine, and wishes the old man good health and a long life." ”

Zhang's father and son also picked up their wine glasses and drank them all.

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, wanted to persuade him to drink again, but was stopped by Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi said lightly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the old man is old, and he is not strong enough to drink, please ask His Highness to get down to business first, otherwise, it will be too late to talk about it later." ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, stopped going around the bend and asked bluntly: "What does the boss want?"

Zhang Ziyi took a serious look at the man in front of him who was only one step away from ascending to the throne, his expression was a little trance, more than ten years of high-wall life, so that this once high-spirited prince in his prime had a lot of old age, his temples were as white as snow, fortunately, the man's bearing was more rich and noble, and he was not damaged by life.

Zhang Jingyue gently tugged at his father's sleeve, and the old man came back to his senses and said softly: "The old man doesn't know what His Highness is asking, please make it clear." ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, drank all the wine in the cup, and said in a warm tone: "Do you know what this king invited you to do?"

Zhang Ziyi shook his head and said, "This is also the old man's doubts, please let His Highness solve his doubts." ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, said an answer that made Zhang's father and son lose their minds.

"Your Majesty went out of the palace privately last night and drove the Jin Palace. ”

Everyone knows that Liang Ying, the king of Jin, led tens of thousands of border troops back to Beijing during the seizure of the throne, intending to ascend the throne as the emperor, and then a series of things happened, the eldest prince chose to wait and see, the second prince died in the chaos, and the dragon chair was sat firmly by the fourth prince Liang Jue.

If you look at the situation of the succession of the previous dynasties, the eight princes of the Jin Dynasty who returned to Beijing with troops must not have a good end, but His Majesty the Emperor named him the King of Chu, and there will be rewards every festival, and there are countless beautiful concubines in gold and silver treasures, good fields, and beautiful concubines, which shows the deep brotherhood.

Now the king of Chu has been crowned the king of Jin, which shows the depth of the saint's family.

It's just that in the eyes of discerning people, the emperor acted like this just to win people's hearts and appease the children of the imperial family.

Even so, Liang Ying, the king of Jin, was still trapped within the high walls, and for more than ten years, he had not been able to contact the affairs of foreign ministers, so he could only be an idle prince who lingered in the flower field.

After Zhang Ziyi came back to his senses, he looked secretive, worthy of being from a famous border general to a pillar country sitting firmly in the court, with a treacherous taste, mixed like an old fox.

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, sighed and said softly, "Do you want to know what Your Majesty is doing here?"

Zhang Ziyi asked rhetorically, "Could it be related to the old man?"

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, smiled bitterly and said, "Since the old man is willing to come to me to drink a glass of water and wine, why do you behave like this? Why don't you open the skylight and say something?"

Zhang Ziyi said solemnly: "Your Highness, do you know what the old man Gongsun told me after the court meeting?"

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, shook his head and said, "I don't know, please speak, boss." ”

In the following time, Zhang Ziyi briefly retold his conversation with Gongsun Baoyu, and sighed softly: "Now that the court can no longer stand, even the old man of Gongsun is afraid that he will not be able to protect his old age, so that he will affect the family, I have risen from the recklessness, and now I am the first of the military attachés, which is a rare luck, naturally I don't want to provoke the family to be unable to maintain because of a temporary attachment to power, please forgive me." ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, smiled lightly, expressing his understanding of Zhang Ziyi's thoughts, and then said: "Don't worry, my lord, I am like this now, naturally I don't have any other ideas, I just want to keep a back hand, so that when the Liang royal family is in danger in the future, I can have a strong foreign aid." ”

Zhang Ziyi was silent, and only after a long time did she dip her index finger in wine and write an extremely scribbled word 'Wei' on the table.

The night breeze blows, and the wine trail dissipates.

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, looked at the dissipated handwriting for a long time, and sighed softly: "Yes, Your Majesty is also here for this matter, I don't know what the boss has to do?"

Zhang Ziyi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, it is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and cut the mess with a quick knife." This matter has been delayed for a long time, and if it is not resolved, it will inevitably be a big tail, and at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to be good. ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, looked at Zhang Ziyi with a curious expression and asked: "In this case, why is the boss still in a hurry? Why don't you make a contribution to it? Whether it is for the sake of fame or for the sake of the people of the world, it is much better than giving up like now." ”

Zhang Ziyi shook his head and said slowly: "There are jackals in front and tigers in the back, the old man is old, and he doesn't have the strength to be the hunter who drives wolves and tigers." ”

Zhang Ziyi paused for a moment and continued: "Besides, the situation between the DPRK and China is not clear now, and I don't want to affect the children because of my decision. ”

Uncle Wei Shanhui is the secretary of the military department of the Great Liang, and the lord is the upper protector of the three products, second only to Zhang Ziyi, the head of the military attaché.

Now that Zhang Ziyi of the Pillar State wants to become a leader, naturally no one can suppress him, after all, no matter in terms of military merits or background and family background, there is no one in the DPRK who is more suitable than him to be the head of the new generation of military attachés.

Wei Shanhui has been operating in the post of secretary of the military department for more than 20 years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, and after His Majesty ascended the throne today, he served as the general of Zhenbei in the north and led the tiger army for several years.

During his tenure, Wei Shanhui led the Tiger Ben Army to break the Khitan barbarians, and made a lot of contributions, and then won the title of Protector, and there were not a few generals under his command who were rewarded for their merits, and they were very popular with the army.

Although Wei Shanhui is stationed in the capital now, there are not a few people in the Tiger Ben army who have been favored by him, and with just a secret letter, there will definitely be many responders.

This is only the power of Wei Shanhui alone.

Merriam-Webster's family is more handsome.

Wei Shanhui's younger brother was frail and sickly, and had no real job, relying on his military exploits when he was young, he won a military officer, General Ning Yuan, and now he is recuperating at home, leading a small number of Yulu.

Wei Yichen, the eldest son of Wei Shanhui, has a calm and atmospheric temperament, studied under his father, and is now an official in Beijing, and is the general of the Zuo Shenwu Army from Sanpin, commanding 15,000 forbidden troops.

The second son, Wei Jingren, did not like to learn the art of war, so he had to learn Confucianism, and now he is the fourth product of the ordnance supervisor, responsible for the manufacture of weapons in the Liang Empire, although restricted by the Ministry of Industry, but the power is very great.

Wei's youngest son, Wei Bu Abandoned, was weak since he was a child, his hands could not lift his shoulders and could not resist, he was an out-and-out mediocre person, and he was a representative of martial arts, but he married Qin Wangfu for the beloved son-in-law of Liang Yu, the king of Qin, and got a doctor of Wen Sanguan Zhongsan on the top five grades.

Wei Fengyi, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, is the favorite concubine of His Majesty the Emperor today, and the noble concubine Niangniang who entered the Wutong Palace, ruling the harem.

Wei Xiuruo, who married a brilliant champion, is now the prefect of Gyeongju, Kannai Province, and has a good reputation and a promising future.

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, thought for a while, and said quietly: "This king has not come up with any actual strategy to break the situation, so he will bother the boss, I hope the boss will forgive me." ”

Zhang Ziyi waved her hand and sighed: "It's just for the people, so why bother." The only way to do this now is to start from the local area and gradually resolve the symptoms of stasis, so that it is possible to turn the crisis into safety, otherwise, it will be dangerous. ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, stood up, bowed deeply to Zhang Ziyi, and said in a sincere tone: "Please give me some guidance, I have thanked the boss for the people of the world." ”

Zhang Ziyi sat at the table and received a salute without the slightest evasion.

After the ceremony, Zhang Ziyi pressed Liang Ying, the king of Jin, and said softly: "Now that the princes are crowned kings, it is an excellent opportunity.

Although the six princes are silent on weekdays, as far as I know, there are quite hills and valleys in their chests, and they have an unsolvable hatred with the Wei family, which is one of the reasons why His Majesty let him lead the Tiger Ben army alone.

In addition, if I can really get my wish, after all, it will make Your Majesty angry, and my son Jingyue will definitely go to Beijing to take up a post at that time, as for where to go, it depends on Your Majesty's arrangement. ”

Liang Ying, the king of Jin, nodded very knowingly, and continued: "If Jingyue goes to the Northland, with his past military merits and qualifications, there will be no problem in being a general who leads an army alone.

In this way, in a few years, the Tiger Ben Army will no longer be monolithic, and at that time, serious illness will become a minor illness, which will disappear in the near future. ”

Zhang Ziyi nodded with satisfaction and continued: "As long as there are no other changes in the DPRK, this strategy will be the safest. It's just that he is not a fool, he must be able to see the doorway, and he needs other events to cover it up. ”

Jin King Liang Ying frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what the boss has planned?"

"Your Highness needs to show a hint of ambition. Zhang Ziyi looked at Liang Ying, the king of Jin, and said very seriously: "Only by falling out with Your Majesty can His Royal Highness have the possibility of interfering in it, otherwise, it will only be detected by that person, and there will be no first opportunity." ”

After hearing these words, Liang Ying, the king of Jin, sat there with a solemn face and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, Liang Ying, the king of Jin, said in a hoarse voice: "Is all this really worth it? The old man has also heard about the things back then, right? If I am determined to help him, I will be ashamed of my mother, but if I don't help him, my foundation of more than 100 years of Liang may be overturned, which is really difficult for this king to choose." ”

Zhang Ziyi didn't persuade, but said in a low voice: "Everything is decided by His Highness." ”

The breeze blows, bringing back the secret events of many years ago.

When the first emperor died, the eighth prince Liang Ying led an army of 50,000 to arrive in Zezhou, and received the holy decree of the current emperor, not so much a holy decree, but a picture and a few words.

After thinking about it, Liang Ying, the eighth prince, finally decided to go north with the whole army.

Soon after, the biological mother of the eighth prince Liang Ying became depressed and died soon after.

Since then, the eighth prince Liang Ying has had a thorn in his heart, a thorn that can never be pulled out.
