Chapter 206: King Xiang

"Kill all those who stand in your way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That's right, and Lao Du and I have always suspected that the clear identity of these people is an alliance of some officials, do you understand?"

"I see. Guan Yang nodded and said, "What about the fifth?"

"The fifth is the King's Alliance, which was jointly founded by King Min and other princes of Qingwang, the purpose is to overthrow the emperor, many ministers in the court are connected with them, it stands to reason that the motive of this force is the greatest, but some time ago King Qing was given death by the emperor, and most of the forces under his command were also strangled by the emperor, and suffered heavy losses. However, considering that this may not be their decisive blow, they are listed as second suspects for the time being. ”

"As for the last one, it is Xiang Wangfu. Shi Qingyun said: "And we are ninety percent sure that this assassination incident was done by King Xiang." ”

"King Xiang?" Guan Yang asked in a lost voice, "But King Xiang is almost ninety this year, right? Is it meaningful that he can sit on the throne for a few days?"

Actually, it was a misunderstanding. Du Yue said: "You know, don't spread it." ”

"Yes. Guan Yang and Mu Tianji looked at each other, knowing that the main event was coming.

"You also know that King Xiang and we are both old men who followed Taizu on the battlefield, and King Xiang is Taizu's younger brother. Shi Qingyun said: "It is precisely because King Xiang is Taizu's younger brother that Taizu often speaks freely in front of King Xiang, and as a result, things are bad in this mouth. Once we were in a battle with King Chun Yujin of Jiangxia, King Xiang played a great role in this battle, and everyone drank too much at the celebration banquet, so Taizu put his arm around King Xiang's shoulder and said, 'After me, the throne will be passed to you.' ’”

"At that time, everyone was drunk, and no one took it seriously, I'm afraid King Xiang himself didn't take it seriously. But ......" Du Yue sighed: "When Taizu really took the world, King Xiang remembered this sentence again. ”

"It's a very old-fashioned plot. Guan Yang pouted, this kind of thing is seen too much on TV.

Shi Qingyun glanced at Guan Yang strangely, and then said: "Of course, King Xiang was not stupid enough to put it forward directly, but secretly developed his own power, planning to wait for Taizu to die and forcibly seize the throne, when the time comes, he will occupy the position of righteousness, even if we old ministers oppose it, I am afraid there is nothing to do." It's a pity that he underestimated Taizu too much, and his small actions were soon discovered by Taizu, and it is said that the two had a big quarrel, and then Xiang Wei was imprisoned for ten years, and deprived him of all his positions, and he was not allowed to take charge of the army again. ”

"Of course King Xiang is unwilling, except that Qian was more honest in the first two years after the release of the confinement, and then he was restless, but Taizu was seriously ill at this time, and he was also powerless. However, after all, King Xiang had no position, and he could not exert influence in the court, so after tossing for two years, he turned his attention to the rivers and lakes when he saw that he did not gain much. After so many years of operation, King Xiang has also collected a lot of masters in the rivers and lakes, but although these masters are strong in martial arts, they have ruined King Xiang's reputation. ”

"Why is that?" Guan Yang asked.

Mu Tianji said: "I know this, because Xiang Wangfu is collecting scum in the rivers and lakes, and these scum in the rivers and lakes are all guys who can't get along in the rivers and lakes." Like the famous flower thief 'Qianli Feng' Hua Zique on the rivers and lakes, who was chased and killed by my uncle, there was no way to enter the heavens and no door, and finally hid in Xiang Wang's mansion, so he escaped the pursuit. And there are many such people in Xiang Wang's Mansion, and over time, Xiang Wang's Mansion will become a place to hide dirt and dirt, and many martial arts people who can't get along will choose to enter Xiang Wang's Mansion. ”

"What Mu Xiaoyou said is right, it's just ......" Shi Qingyun sighed lightly and said with a disgusting expression: "It's just that there are still capable people among these scumbags." Through these people, King Xiang either coerced or induced to control a considerable part of the courtiers. ”

"But why didn't he control the remaining courtiers, but assassinated them?"

"First of all, these courtiers are all staunch imperial parties, and they have no obvious shortcomings, and they will not be coerced and lured by King Xiang under normal circumstances; ”

"But why didn't he just assassinate the emperor?

"It's not the same. Shi Qingyun shook his head and said: "Even if the assassination of the minister is exposed, even if the emperor kills, he will only kill him at most, and his children will only be exiled, and will not be punished by the whole family; ”

"Also, his assassination is too naïve, isn't it? Even you can see it, the emperor and the empress dowager can't see it? Even the emperor and the empress dowager can see it, is he still alive?"

"Because he's making this a scheme. Shi Qingyun said: "You can imagine, if all the imperial ministers are assassinated, and our old bones are also assassinated by him, then the emperor will have no one available in his hands, and those seats cannot be vacant, the emperor can only use King Xiang's people, and as long as King Xiang controls the court, the emperor can still cure his crimes? I'm afraid that the emperor's abolition will only be in his thoughts, right?"

"To put it bluntly, he's just gambling. ”

"That's right, he's eighty-nine years old, and even if he fails, it's nothing, and his children are absolutely safe anyway. Moreover," Shi Qingyun said: "Moreover, he may not die yet, after all, he is eighty-nine years old, and he is still the oldest in the royal family, and I am afraid that even the Empress Dowager will intercede for him at that time." ”

"King Xiang is so clever. Guan Yang smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, it's a good plan." ”

"After all, it's an old fox who has lived for decades. Mu Tianji also praised: "But I was still seen through by the two gentlemen, and I deserve to be a ......."

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Guan Yang hurriedly coughed a few times, Mu Tianji immediately shut up, he reacted, the two in front of him were not much younger than Xiang Wang, and he said that Xiang Wang was an old fox, so wouldn't the two who saw through Xiang Wang become fox spirits?

"By the way, Brother Guan, why do you all say that you will be safe the day after tomorrow morning?" This question had been holding in his heart for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to ask it.

"Because the morning after tomorrow is the big court meeting, as long as the emperor announces the opening of us in front of the world, we will all be safe. Du Yue explained: "King Xiang does not dare and will not have a second assassination, the emperor can endure him once, but he will definitely not endure him a second time." If he really did this, then the emperor would not say anything even if he punished his entire clan. ”

"I see. ”

"But I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out to the court, even if we add Brother Hu and Brother Dao, I'm afraid we won't be able to. Guan Yang smiled bitterly and caught a bug: "Our conversation has been overheard. ”

"Husband and wife worm?" Mu Tianji was shocked: "This is the method of the Witch Sect, how did King Xiang get together with the people of the Witch Sect?"

"Husband and wife worm, what is it?"

"Brother Maku, please explain to the two gentlemen, I'll call someone. ”

"Good. Although Mu Tianji didn't know what Guan Yang's name meant, out of trust in Guan Yang, he still agreed.

Guan Yang took out a whistle, this is a resonance whistle, Guan Yang saw the silent whistle of the flying fox in the tomb of General Feilong and exchanged it from the system, it is different from that kind of silent whistle, the resonance whistle knows that it is transmitted through resonance, the frequency of the two whistles is the same, as long as Guan Yang blows the whistle here, the person holding the whistle on the other side can guess Guan Yang's order through a specific codebook.
