To make up a lie, you often need to use countless lies to cover up the unreasonableness of the first lie. Similarly, when making an action plan to treason or silence someone, it is often necessary to use countless subsequent actions to make reasonable arrangements and deal with the aftermath of the decision.
If she wants to kill Quan Shancai and Su Honghui, Princess Fangling must use Nanzhao's five hundred hidden soldiers to help her completely eliminate Quan Shancai and Su Honghui.
It was obviously impossible for several people from Zhe Chong Mansion in Chengdu Mansion to help her complete such a task. After all, Quan Shancai's relationship with Su Honghui and Zhe Chong Mansion was no less than his own relationship with Zhe Chong Mansion.
Moreover, when Quan Shancai and Su Honghui were to be silenced, they would have to face His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal guards. When the time comes, no one knows whether the soldiers of the Chong Mansion would give up resistance in an instant just because Li Hong shouted loudly, creating uncertainty and danger. The sex was too great and Princess Fangling would not take the risk.
Therefore, these five hundred soldiers used by Nanzhao to smuggle grain and grass into Chengdu naturally became the most reliable and the most suitable people to help her implement this plan.
When the prince's personal guards and Nanzhao soldiers are almost exhausted in the fight, he can order Zhe Chongfu to rescue His Highness the prince. At that time, as long as he joins forces with the prince's personal guards to destroy all the Nanzhao soldiers, then everything will be over. All solved perfectly.
When the time comes, even if His Royal Highness is not grateful to Chengdu Prefecture Zhechong Prefecture for rescuing him, he will not be embarrassed if he thinks about it.
And he could also kill all the Nanzhao soldiers while getting rid of Quan Shancai and Su Honghui. In this case, who would suspect that he was collaborating with the enemy, treason, and abusing power for personal gain? His Royal Highness wants to continue to thoroughly investigate the clues in the officialdom of Chengdu Prefecture, but after this battle, all the clues can be cut off, leaving him unable to investigate.
As for the five hundred soldiers of Nanzhao who died, Xinuluo would not care about it. Compared with the huge benefits he had helped him over the years, and Li Hong was about to go to Nanzhao, Xinuluo would never be like him. Hundreds of miserable lives.
Two hours after Princess Fangling's carriage and her party left Chengdu Mansion, Li Gui, Li Wen and others began to gather in Chengdu Mansion's Zhechong Mansion, preparing to leave the city in the direction of Qingcheng Mountain.
Before Di Renjie had time to pick up the tea bowl, it fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces!
"Your Highness is in danger!" Di Renjie listened blankly as Fang Zhan reported to him what was going on in the Zhechong Mansion. His heart was filled with huge shock. Who is behind this? Are the methods too harsh? Could it be that she really is the always low-key Princess Fangling
"Run to... Zhe Chong Mansion immediately!" Di Renjie gritted his teeth and looked at Yuan Fang, who had half of the sword drawn beside him, and said solemnly.
"But... we people..." Yuan Fang looked at the people in the room. If he and his group rushed into Zhe Chong Mansion, they might not be enough to put a gap in their teeth.
"There is no other way. We can only take a risk. Miss Bai needs to keep an eye on Princess Fangling, and now she can't get away. His Royal Highness... has mobilized all the troops to Nanzhao. We have no way to resist, we can only try To get close to Li Gui and Li Wen, as long as we control them, we can see if we can control the Zhechong Mansion." Di Renjie complained a little about Li Hong's rashness and arrogance, and sent all the Futu camps that could suppress and intimidate the Chengdu Mansion. The transfer made him completely passive in terms of military strength, and also put everyone in danger.
Why is His Highness the Crown Prince so rash? Could it be that Nanzhao's actions are really more dangerous than Chengdu's
"Fang Zhan, Hengqiao, what do you think?" Di Renjie turned around, with a horizontal knife in his hand. At this time, Di Renjie himself doubted whether he had the ability to turn the tide.
"Prevent them from leaving the city. According to Miss Bai, the five hundred people outside the city are indeed following Princess Fangling to the north of the city. Their destination is probably either Qingcheng Mountain or the Chengdu Granary." Fang Zhan looked at Di Renjie calmly and said .
At this time, it is actually useless to think about anything. Although Princess Fangling's real motive for leaving the city has not been fully understood, it can be guessed based on only vague guesses that she will definitely not take Li Qian and others out of the city. They will go to help His Highness the Crown Prince, let alone confess and surrender to His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Yuanfang, contact Li Gui and Li Wen and say... just say that we are being targeted by His Highness's people and hope they can protect us. Fang Zhan, Hengqiao, you immediately search for the whereabouts of King Cao's sons Li Jun and Li Jie , if you are in other Zhechong Mansion, you can control it as much as possible. If you can't... you can decide on your own, but... the only requirement is that Zhechong Mansion must not go out of the city to join Princess Fangling and the others." Di Renjie walked to the door, this area. At night, it becomes extremely dark, and it is impossible to see through the ink-like night to clearly see the scene ten steps away.
"Yes, go right away. I will arrange some people to protect your safety." Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao looked at each other, then turned around and disappeared into the moonlight.
"Sir, can we... be able to do it with just a few of us?" Yuan Fang held the horse's reins, and after Di Renjie mounted the horse, she stroked the horse's face and raised her head and asked.
"You have to give it a try if you can. At this moment, no one is absolutely safe. Whether it is His Highness, Miss Bai who follows Princess Fangling, or us in Chengdu Mansion, our lives and fortunes are all here. One night." Di Renjie waved his hand and motioned for Yuan Fang to mount his horse.
"This... this is too fast and too sudden. During the day, Chengdu Mansion was still harmonious. Why did it suddenly turn into such a tense situation just a few hours ago?" Yuan Fang was a little confused. .
When I met with Di Renjie, Li Qian and others today, from their words, I could not detect the slightest hint of their passivity or the nervousness of His Highness forcing them to do so.
It's just that there has been no news from Quan Shancai and Su Honghui. But when they met with Li Qian today, they didn't look too worried. Why did everything suddenly change in the blink of an eye before people had time to react? Mutated.
Di Renjie was riding on horseback and said with a relaxed smile: "This is the difference between smart people and ordinary people. Ordinary people will only think of how to deal with the incident after it happens. And Smart people rely on their brains to predict the enemy's opportunities."
"How do you say this? Please help me clarify my doubts." Yuan Fang was confused, and he didn't even understand what Di Renjie meant.
"Everything that is happening today has actually been predicted in the minds of smart people. The only difference is that the deviation is only small." Di Renjie sat on the horse and sighed, then continued slowly Said: "Politicians are like this, including me. They are generally confident or even arrogant. They are extremely confident in their own feelings. Therefore, once they think that something is the same as the development trajectory they expected and judged, they will He will immediately take action and deal a fatal blow to others. As the saying goes, being able to defeat the enemy and seize the enemy's opportunity first is the essential foundation for a court politician. "
"What if I feel wrong?" Yuan Fang asked thoughtfully and half-understanding.
"Wrong? If you make a mistake, you will lose, and if you lose, you will admit it. This is often the case in battles in the court and in officialdom. Mistakes are never divided into big or small, only victory or defeat. So I guess, His Highness, these days I am afraid that I have already gone through the situation in Chengdu Prefecture many times in my mind. Princess Fangling, obviously, just like Her Highness, has also thoroughly studied the situation in Chengdu Prefecture from her own standpoint, so they all unanimously agreed. We want to seize the opportunity before each other takes the initiative.”
"In other words, the situation is actually within their control? In fact, they just meet sooner or later?"
"Not really. I can't say that. I can only say that the current situation seems to be beneficial to both His Highness and Princess Fangling. They are good opportunities for them to restrain each other. They can attack and defend each other. The change is very fast, just in the blink of an eye. . Just like the chess game played by Your Highness, when you take this step, you have already anticipated how the next three, four, and five steps will be played. At the same time, you have also anticipated how the opponent will make every move. Well, if the opponent follows every step he figured out, then His Highness can just skip the next few steps and go straight to the nest. Therefore, in our eyes, sometimes we see His Highness playing chess with the Queen. , I always feel that they occasionally make a useless move, but after three or five moves, they realize that the original function of the useless move only came into effect at this time." Di Renjie sat on the horse and watched. A few lanterns were lit and swaying in front of him, and he was still discussing with Yuan Fang leisurely and calmly.
"I still don't quite understand. Does your Majesty mean that what we are doing now is actually something that is happening now, but what His Highness and Princess Fangling are doing is something that has not happened yet? They are all using preconceptions to judge. And then go straight to the final result, omitting all the intermediate steps? "
"Yes, His Highness is anxious to go south to the southwest, and Quan Shancai and Su Honghui have become his breakthrough point..."
"Then why can't we..."
"Because that's His Highness. If it were us, who could keep Quan Shancai and Su Honghui in the field instead of letting them return to Chengdu? So the officialdom of Jiannan Road is monolithic, just because there is no such powerful power as Your Highness. Now that His Highness has come down, as long as we can control Quan Shancai and Su Honghui, this Jiannan Road is as solid as iron in our eyes, but in His Highness's eyes, it is just a piece of cardboard." Di Renjie shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
This is the gap between strength and power. It is extremely difficult for anyone to easily open a hole and break through the officialdom of Jiannan Dao.
But if it were His Highness himself, with the power in his hands and his status, he could easily kick through the impregnable iron plate of Jiannan Road's officialdom.
