Chapter 190: To each according to his needs
Zheng Yong was thinking about how to clean up the mess and deal with King Ji's revenge when there were suddenly a few knocks on the door outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info His heart couldn't help but be annoyed, and he had already ordered those subordinates not to disturb him in anything.
The emperor sympathized with his pain of losing his son, and allowed him to leave the palace for a few days, and then return to the palace to accompany him after taking care of Zhao Zhan's funeral.
At this moment, he is staying in a private house he bought outside the palace, thinking about the major matters of life and death in the future, but he doesn't want to get even this moment of peace, and he still dares to touch his head with some eyes!
"What kind of bastard, get out of here!" the shrill voice sounded chilling.
"Please calm your anger, I have something to discuss with my father-in-law in Xia Gongyan. ā
Gong Yan outside the door spoke slowly and calmly, without the slightest hint of flinching.
Zheng Yong's brows furrowed, he thought about it, and finally said in a slow tone: "Come in." ā
Miyahiko then pushed the door and entered.
Seeing Zheng Yongzheng looking at him gloomily, Gong Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then went straight to the ground: "My father-in-law hides in the room all day long, and I'm afraid I can't think of any way to deal with the king." It's better to listen to the next word, or you can be in a desperate situation!"
Zheng Yong's small eyes narrowed suddenly, leaving only a narrow gap, and behind this narrow gap, there were countless sharp cold rays.
"Are you trying to persuade me to take refuge in Lingshi Duxiaoqiong?"
was exposed by Zheng Yong's words, Gong Yan seemed to have expected it, and there was no panic on his face.
I saw him slowly shake his head and smile, and said, "No, I want to persuade my father-in-law to vote for my Emperor Majesty!"
Zheng Yong couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Gong Yan thoughtfully, "How do you say this? Isn't Duxiaoqiong the emperor who obeys your orders?"
"In the eyes of outsiders, isn't my father-in-law also under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu?" Gong Yan asked meaningfully.
"What do you mean by this? Our family has always listened to the emperor's dispatches, when did you have two hearts?"
Zheng Yong squinted his eyes quietly, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
The idea of seeking power and usurping the throne was just an idea hidden in the deepest part of his heart, and even Zhao Zhan didn't dare to tell him.
Because he was afraid that Zhao Zhan would not be able to hold his breath when he was young, if he accidentally revealed even a little bit in his words, once he was discovered by others and told him, the grand cause of their Zhao father and son would be a failure, and it would also cause a catastrophe of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!
"Then this time the design of booby-trapping Han Bing, why did the father-in-law hide it from the emperor and secretly cooperate with King Ji?"
"Our family cooperated with King Ji to trap Han Bing, just to win the trust of King Ji, so that he thought that the treacherous plan had succeeded, and then revealed his true face of intent on rebellion. I did this completely to let the emperor see that King Qingji's thief was not dead, so that he could make up his mind and deal with it as soon as possible to prevent it from happening. ā
"With the ability of his father-in-law, if he wants to expose King Ji to the emperor, he has long had opportunities and evidence. For example, the secret envoy sent by King Ji to deliver a message to the queen that his father-in-law caught last time. I think that the man's father-in-law must have kept a copy of his confession, and he is going to present it to the emperor at the right time in the future, right?"
"Why do you think that?"
Zheng Yong's face showed a smile of surprise, but there was already murderous intent in his heart.
The best way to deal with someone who knows too much is to never have a chance to say what he knows again.
Gong Yan didn't seem to realize that he had put himself in danger with his words, and continued to say with a smug smile: "Because I am the same kind of person as my father-in-law, I can naturally guess what the guild will do." ā
"Oh, then you might as well tell us what kind of person you are?"
The smile on Zheng Yong's face deepened, and the killing intent in his heart became stronger.
"Despicable and shameless, forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit. In fact, seriously speaking, I think that I am more like your father-in-law and your own son than that Commander Zhao. ā
When he said this, Gong Yan always smiled, and sure enough, he had a despicable and shameless face.
Zheng Yong listened, but he smiled, squinted his eyes again and looked at Gong Yanlai, and couldn't help but start thinking about what he had just said.
At this time, no matter how sad he was, his biological son Zhao Zhan was dead after all. And he still has to continue to live, if there is someone who can temporarily replace Zhao Zhan to be his own son, it is not impossible. What's more, there may indeed be something consistent between his own interests and his.
"So in your opinion, what is my real purpose in trapping and killing Ice?"
Hearing Zheng Yong's question, Gong Yan immediately understood that this old eunuch had been moved by what he said, so he had to test his wisdom first to see if he had the qualifications to become his accomplice.
So, he immediately calmed down and said his thoughts in an orderly manner.
"The main purpose of the father-in-law to design the booby trap is to win the trust of King Ji first, and then take the opportunity to get rid of it. But the purpose of the father-in-law to remove King Ji was not for the emperor, let alone for the crown prince, but to set up a new monarch, so as to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and even directly seize the throne. ā
Zheng Yong showed his usual smirk again, and said softly: "Keep talking." ā
Gong Yan smiled and said unhurriedly: "I didn't make this conjecture out of thin air. But because I stumbled upon a secret of Zhao Da's commander, and deduced from it the earnest intention of my father-in-law's son Jackie Chan. ā
Although Zheng Yong was strong in self-restraint, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and his voice couldn't help but be a little more hoarse, "You-, how did you know?"
"Miss Qingluo. Gong Yan said the name with a smile.
Zheng Yong's little eyes flashed, "It turns out that Shen Qingluo is actually your person!"
"Not bad. It's ridiculous that Zuo Yusong still thinks that he has found such a capable woman to be the hall master of Shunfeng Hall, the most important intelligence agency of his Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance, but he didn't know that he actually installed the eyes and ears of a Darong country for us. ā
"But even Zhao Zhan didn't know about that incident, how did Shen Qingluo find out?"
It was precisely because Zhao Zhan didn't know that he had no scruples about speaking out and told his confidante Qingluo in detail about his life experience. However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Shen Qingluo originally wanted to find out for me how Zhao Zhan's somewhat reckless temperament won the appreciation of his father-in-law, and was willing to accept him as his righteous son, and spared no effort to support him step by step to ascend to the high position of the commander of the forbidden army?
But who knows, even Zhao Zhan himself can't say what kind of thing he has won the favor of his father-in-law, only that it seems that his father-in-law once mentioned that he is a fellow villager, so he will take care of him like this.
Since this is the only clue, we will not let it go. As a result, the old matter that the Zhao family, a martial arts family, had a second son who had disappeared, was inadvertently mentioned again.
As for whether you and Zhao Zhan are uncles and nephews or fathers and sons, it doesn't really matter anymore. For it is evident that you have treated him as if he were your own. ā
Hearing Gong Yan mention those old things, Zheng Yong's eyes gradually became dim, and he was silent for a long time before he asked in a dumb voice: "Now that you know the inside story, you know that I can't treat you like Zhao Zhan, why do you want to come to me?"
"Because I don't want to be Zhao Zhan, let alone the throne. What I want is the position of the leader of the Chiyang Sect. ā
Hearing Gong Yan say this, Zheng Yong couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed in surprise, "Aren't you going in the opposite direction? Even if I, the head of the Great Yu Kingdom, have great power, it is impossible for me to help you get the position of the leader of the Chiyang Sect of the Rong Kingdom!"
"My father-in-law can't give me that position, but His Majesty the Emperor of Darong can give it to me. And all I have to do is to be loyal to him and get half of the country for him, in exchange for the position of the leader of the Chiyang Sect. ā
"Looks like you're ready to betray your master, Duxiaoqiong?"
A look of hatred flashed on Gong Yan's face, and he hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was better to tell the truth at this time in order to gain the trust of this cunning old eunuch.
"I wonder if my father-in-law has ever heard of the magic of wedding dress?"
Zheng Yong narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "Our family seems to have heard the emperor mention once that when Emperor Taizu, the national teacher Yin Wuya practiced the magic skill of wedding clothes, which can absorb people's internal force, and he also sucked away the internal force of his apprentice."
His apprentice was Huijue, the abbot of Jishi Temple, and after his master sucked away the internal force, his meridians were destroyed, and he was sick in bed for many years, like a wasted person. ā
"Not bad. The family teacher is also practicing the magic of wedding clothes, and he also wants to emulate the Yin Wuya back then and suck away the internal strength of me, an apprentice. ā
Zheng Yong couldn't help but glance at Gong Yan in surprise, "The martial arts of the Dujiao Master are almost impossible to match in the world, why do you want to do such a thing to kill your own apprentice?"
"He doesn't want to absorb my internal strength by himself, but wants his chosen next sect leader to improve his skills by absorbing internal strength, so as to become a master like him and continue to be in charge of the Chiyang Sect. ā
"So, the next sect leader he has chosen is not you. ā
"Hmph! The man he wanted to choose didn't look down on that seat at all, and I'm afraid he had already died at his hands. And the person he had to choose was still not my eldest disciple, but my own brother Gongyu Sarong!"
"Why is that, with your intelligence, you must be no worse than that brother of yours, right?"
"It's a pity that what the family teacher values is not intelligence, but martial arts. He thinks that my qualifications are poor, and even if I absorb the internal strength of others, I will not be able to achieve a complete understanding and become a peerless master like him in the end. ā
Speaking of this, Gong Yan's tone couldn't help but feel a little more resentful, "But if you only have martial arts and no brains, how can you lead the Chiyang Sect?! It is precisely because of his stubbornness that he will not be tolerated by His Majesty the Emperor of Darong, and it is seen that the Chiyang Sect will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!"
Zheng Yong squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and asked slowly: "You want to get the position of the leader of the Chiyang Sect, and your Emperor His Majesty wants to get half of the wealth of the country, so what can I get?"
"Revenge. ā
Gong Yan looked at Zheng Yong confidently, knowing that this was a condition that he would never refuse.
Sure enough, after Zheng Yong's little eyes flashed with hatred, he nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll take what we need!"
