I took the tissue paper presented by Dong Que and checked it carefully, and while watching it, I recorded part of it on another piece of paper. Dong Que has already told me the story. Although Dong Que's revenge method is a bit cruel, in comparison, my method is probably more vicious, so I don't blame Dong Que, not to mention the deep hatred between him and Li Hanyou. Like the sea, I have always believed that everyone should be responsible for what they do, and I also think that it is better to do it yourself than to wait for the retribution from God. Otherwise, why would I have to make trouble with the prince of a country
After I sorted out the secret rudder of Fengyi Gate, which could be handed over to King Yong, I asked someone to invite His Royal Highness King Yong. In a short time before King Yong came, I said to Xiao Shunzi: "You said, Wei Wei. How should the matter of the adults be handled?"
Xiao Shunzi thought for a moment and said, "I think Wei Ying is so cruel and ruthless, it is useless to keep Lord Wei, and Lord Wei's father and son are deeply in love, and I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with Wei Ying with all their heart, so it is better to kill Lord Wei. , so that the Jinxiu Alliance can gain the trust of Fengyi Sect, I don’t know what the young master thinks.”
I thought about it for a while and said, "Although Wei Guan did not participate in the rebellion, as the head of the civil service, he is not strict with his family, so he should be punished, and I don't think he is completely ignorant of Wei Ying's affairs, but he just didn't think of it. Wei Ying would be involved in the rebellion, but he is optimistic about the crown prince's succession. Wei Ying is smart. If Wei Guan is alive, then he will naturally kill Wei Ying's relatives. If Wei Guan is dead, his father's students will die. , Many people can't help but feel some incense love for Wei Ying, but Wei Ying is too smart. The so-called people take tea to cool, that little incense love will not affect the overall situation, at most this time when Fengyimen quit Dayong That's all for a little use. Besides, as His Highness King Yong's blade pointed, who would dare to show favoritism? Well, let Wei Guan kill himself, no need to worry about it, just let the guards monitoring him relax a little, and then say a few rumors, I'm still afraid Can't Wei Guan succeed in suicide?"
At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly gave a wink. I knew that His Royal Highness Prince Yong arrived, so I didn't say more and got up to greet him. In the distance, King Yong walked in the company of Shi Yu and Xiahou Yuanfeng, and when he saw His Royal Highness's expression, he knew that he was in a good mood. I stepped forward and gave a salute, "Please, Your Highness, come, this is the death penalty." While begging, I looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng. When did King Yong trust him so much
King Yong also saw Jiang Zhe's hesitant gaze, and he was also a little annoyed, regretting that he should not have brought Xiahou Yuanfeng here, but this person has been very effective these days. The suppression of the forces went very smoothly, and the most rare thing is that this person is very caring. Two days ago, Jiang Zhe entered the palace privately. If it wasn't for the news from Xiahou Yuanfeng, he would not have time to make a round. So recently, he has gradually put Xiahou. Yuanfeng was included in the confidant. For this, Shi Yu and others were dissatisfied. Could it be that Jiang Zhe was also dissatisfied because of this. King Yong smiled awkwardly and said, "Suiyun, how are you recovering from your illness these few days, does this king have something important to discuss with you?"
After I asked King Yong and others to take their seats, I presented the sorted list to King Yong and said, "Your Highness, this is the secret rudder of Fengyi Gate that was found by the minister, please seize the opportunity to control these secret rudders, but It's best not to act immediately, lest it arouse the suspicion of Fengyi Sect's spies."
King Yong took the list and looked at it for a long time, then sighed: "Suiyun, the secret agents under your command seem to be more powerful than those in the hands of the royal father and this king. These secret rudders and this king only know about three or four out of ten, or these few days. just found out."
I could hear what King Yong said. It turned out to be the idea of attacking my secret spy, but Tianji Pavilion and Jinxiu Alliance are not suitable for handing over to King Yong. After all, if someone discovers that King Yong and these two In order to dispel King Yong's thoughts, and to divert the topic, I sat down, shook the fan lightly and said, "Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud, and there are five uses: there are reasons, there are In the inner world, there is the time of opposition, the time of death, and the time of life. When it comes to the study of the use of time, His Royal Highness is very good at it. I once heard Mr. Dong say that when His Highness marches with troops, he will definitely summon local natives wherever he goes. Inquiring personally can be said to make good use of the reasons. On that day, Dayong installed Liang Wan in Southern Chu, which can be described as death. Through Liang Wan, Dayong widely bought and deterred officials in Southern Chu, which can be described as internal. , to set up a scout battalion in the army to be responsible for reconnaissance of the military's situation and enemy situation, which can be described as life. As for the countermeasures, didn't Your Highness use countermeasures in the past to force Prince De to attack Luocheng?"
Li Zhi said a little embarrassedly: "How can this king's ability to use time be compared to Suiyun?" He glanced at Xiahou, and he didn't want to let him know about some things, so he didn't say anything. In fact, he used time for Jiang Zhe. If it wasn't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could the prince lose his morals? If it wasn't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could he mobilize Xiahou Yuanfeng and the others for his own use, and then he successfully reversed the situation. Since ancient times, famous generals are only good at using and directing their own power, but Jiang Zhe is good at using the power of the enemy to do things for himself. Li Zhi naturally cannot learn this kind of magic.
I smiled and said, "Your Highness's lack of use is that it only knows how to target the enemy, so His Highness is very clear about the affairs around the Crown Prince, but not so much about the neutral Lord Wei and General Qin. , So I lost the opportunity in the change of the hunting palace. If nothing else, Your Highness should know now that there are some private matters that I have not reported to His Highness, but His Highness has never been suspicious, although this is the advantage of His Highness's use of people. However, in the future, His Highness will become the monarch of Dayong, and all the talents in this world will come to His Highness. Is it true that all His Highnesses should employ people without suspicion? So the minister suggested that His Highness should set up another division in the ban, in the imperial court. Only by setting up ears and eyes to supervise all officials and subjects can we ensure the stability of the monarchy and the stability of the society.”
Shi Yu frowned and said: "This way, wouldn't it make the people of the court and the people panic, and if this is the case, the person who holds the power of supervision will inevitably have too much power." As he said, he looked at me with a vague suspicion. Apparently skeptical that I wanted to master the institution.
I smiled lightly and said: "This depends on how His Highness arranges it. As long as His Highness separates the power of supervision and the power of disposal, this institution will not have the power to dominate the world, and whether people will be panicked, the way is clear. It depends on how His Highness behaves. As long as His Highness does not convict people of crimes based on the information obtained from surveillance, how can people panic? As long as it has nothing to do with the overall situation, or is not a rebellious act, His Highness will just laugh at the information, but the matter is If the stakes are important, then you can plan ahead.”
Li Zhi listened very carefully, and his eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance from time to time. After I finished speaking, he opened his mouth and said, "This king also intends to set up a supervisory department in the ban, and Suiyun is willing to take charge of it."
I smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, although Zhe is quite good at using the room, this kind of thing needs a careful person to do it. I have always been careless, how can I take on such a heavy burden, and I have recently recovered from a serious illness and want to take good care of my body. , I am afraid that this minister will not be able to do this kind of hard work."
Shi Yu and Xiahou Yuanfeng both had a flash of surprise in their eyes. They originally thought that Jiang Zhe wanted to control the supervision by himself, but he turned it down. Shi Yu felt a little guilty in her heart, thinking, I should have known that Jiang Zhe was a person of noble character and never had the mind to fight for power and profit. Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes were shining brightly. The Supervision Department was set up for him. He was confident that he could take up such a position in the dark. Moreover, this position must be a low-ranking official position with great power. It will make King Yong worry about losing power. This is probably the reason why Jiang Zhe resolutely refused, but he was originally on the side of the prince, and now King Yong's subordinates who control the military and political power are basically on their guard. Taking this position by himself, King Yong can naturally rest assured, because he only has King Yong as a backer. In order to maintain King Yong's rule, he must be exhausted, and he does not dare to ignore it, and dare not give birth to the heart of betrayal.
At this time, Li Zhi also thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Xiahou Yuanfeng, Xiahou Yuanfeng responded quickly, and immediately showed a brave and loyal look, Li Zhi nodded lightly, but did not speak.
I saw this interaction, and couldn't help but feel happy. In fact, even if I didn't say it, King Yong would sooner or later think of establishing an internal monitoring agency. I took the initiative and refused to serve as the person in charge of this agency. , King Yong must have more trust in me, and King Yong will certainly think that Xiahou Yuanfeng is a good candidate, because only by being loyal to King Yong can he be prosperous and rich. Xiahou Yuanfeng is also a good candidate for me. Although he is capricious and sinister in his mind, he is also a person who knows the current affairs. He knows how powerful I am. Unless King Yong has murderous intentions against me, he is absolutely won't come to trouble me.
After a while, King Yong came to his senses and said, "Suiyun, in a few days, it will be the king's grand ceremony for the establishment of the reserve. You are the first, so come to watch the ceremony."
Naturally, I readily agreed, and asked again, "Your Highness, after you have established the reserve, you can formally supervise the country. Do you have any arrangements?"
King Yong said: "This king has already reported to the royal father, the original Zhongshu Ling Wei Guan can no longer serve as the prime minister because he is suspected of treason, the father emperor wants to serve the middle Zheng Xia to be promoted to the Zhongshuling, this king has agreed, the father emperor I also agree with Zi You to serve as the Minister of the Right Pushe."
I clasped my palms and said, "Your Highness is indeed wise. Although Mr. Ziyou is a complementary talent, if he enters the Zhongshu Province now, his qualifications are still relatively low, and the people of the court and the public are unstable. The situation. And the Shangshu Zuopushe is also one of the complementary ones, and the current Shangshuling is a cowardly person, and Ziyou can do it in the Shangshu Province as the Shangshu Zuopushe. The Shangshu Province directly controls the six departments. You can take the opportunity to reorganize the six divisions, and after a few years, Mr. Ziyou can enter the Zhongshu Province, but in this case, who will hold the position of the middle servant
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Suiyun really understands the deep meaning of it. Zheng Shizhong issued a book order in his palm, which is exactly what everyone expects. As the new servant, this king has already made a plan, and has decided that Cheng Shu, the Duke of Wei, will be in charge."
I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Empress Wei?" In my mind, the state of Wei, Cheng Shu, who was always a little lazy, appeared in my mind.
Shi Yu said with a smile: "Exactly, although Duke Wei is a bit cynical, he is loyal and upright. As a servant, although he was a military officer and was transferred to a civilian position, His Highness didn't want his old man to go to the battlefield again. Reassure the Emperor."
I thought about it for a while, and sure enough, Duke Wei is the most suitable candidate. I think back then, when Fengyi Sect was powerful, this old man was also the one who dared to speak up, and he had a close relationship with the emperor, and he was also a good middleman. Avoid a conflict between Zheng Xia and Shi Yu.
King Yong said excitedly, and said: "In addition, the general has decided to resign from the official position, and this king has appointed General Qin Yong as the commander of the forbidden army. In this way, both the father and the king can feel at ease."
I smiled slightly, it seems that Zheng Xia, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu are the real evergreens.
At this time, Li Zhi suddenly glanced at me and said a little uneasy: "But there is one thing, this king is ashamed of you, this king once asked my father to marry you and Changle, but my father was worried that you were weak and sick, and refused to accept it. Marriage is promised, but don’t worry, as long as you get better in a year or two, this king will definitely ask the royal father for marriage again. And you don’t have to worry, the royal father has ordered Changle to be named Princess Changle of Ningguo, and built for her Mansion, it seems that the royal father will not force Chang Le to marry another person, you are still young, wait another year or two and you will be able to harmoniously."
I secretly laughed in my heart, I knew that King Yong would find time to tell me about this, so as to comfort me not to lose heart, so I made a look of loss. Had to say goodbye and leave. After King Yong left, I immediately called Xiao Shunzi and told him that the plan could begin.
In order to quickly stabilize the situation, the ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince was held on October 25th. On that day, the Yong King Sima Jiangzhe was in bed because of the cold and was unable to participate in the ceremony. So when an ordinary carriage came out of town, no one thought that I was in the carriage. I had already changed into a normal blue shirt, and while playing with the folding fan in my hand, I wondered if there would be any flaws. It was a decision I made long ago to leave when King Yong ascended the throne. It was a grudge and it was useless to stay with His Royal Highness King Yong. There are many military and political talents around His Royal Highness. Well, just for the sake of His Highness, I showed my sharp edge in the change of the Hunting Palace, which not only made people like Master Cizhen feel fearful, but even Zheng Xia, Qin Yi and others could not help but feel a chill in their hearts, if I continue to stay by King Yong's side, They must always be worried that His Royal Highness King Yong used my "sinister" tactics. Instead of making them doubt King Yong's bright and upright intentions, I might as well leave. With the identity of King Yong, there is no need to leave a person who favors the sinister and conspiracy. Shadows of the Sergeant. So I decided to leave long ago, and Emperor Yong's refusal to marry was also one of the motivations for me to leave.
So I took advantage of the fact that King Yong's mansion was busy with King Yong's canonization ceremony, and I first asked Xiao Shunzi to pick up Rou Lan, and then when the defense was slack, I left with the help of Chen Zhen, Han Wuji and others. Chang'an, along the way, I have arranged many false appearances, and I can definitely disappear into the sea of people smoothly.
Gently stroking Rou Lan's sleeping face, I sighed. My only regret is that I have no relationship with the princess. Today's Princess Changle of Ning Guo has a noble status. Will not be returning to Dayong again.
When I left Mingde Gate, I remembered the scene of the day when I was in a scorpion and was taken into Chang'an after being captured by King Yong. I couldn't help but smile a little. Although it was only two years, the impression of Chang'an in my heart was so profound. , No matter where I go, I always think of the scenery of Chang'an. I don't know how long I've gone, and suddenly, Xiao Shunzi's voice floated in and said, "Young Master, a noble person has come to see you off!"
I was stunned for a moment. I left Chang'an. No one knew except my subordinates. How could someone send them off? When I opened the curtain, my eyes immediately froze. In the long pavilion by the road ahead, a The woman in plain clothes stood in the long pavilion, with towering clouds on her temples and an emerald green cloak. Standing beside her was a beautiful woman in her thirties, and a handsome teenager in her teens. I exclaimed, the three were actually Princess Changle, as well as Zhou Shangyi and Xiao Liuzi beside her. How is this going? I hurriedly jumped out of the car with the help of Xiao Shunzi, walked into the long pavilion, and asked urgently, "Your Highness, why did you come to see me off?"
Princess Changle said resentfully, "If it wasn't for Xiao Shunzi to tell you, would you have to leave from now on, regardless of the deep feelings of this palace."
I embarrassedly said: "His Royal Highness, from now on, Zhe is a grass-roots citizen, but the princess has a noble status, not to mention other things, just this title of Ning Guo can make the princess I honorable, I-"
Princess Changle stretched out her slender hand, covered my mouth, and said sweetly, "No matter what kind of glory or wealth this palace is, this palace only knows that I have no debts to Dayong, my father and mother are in good health, and my brother will be filial. , if you don't dislike it, I'd rather leave with you, and live a normal life from now on, and be a loving couple among the people."
I couldn't hold back the ecstasy in my heart any longer. It's not that I never thought that I could take Chang Le far and fly high, but the emperor's seal made me retreat. The title of Princess Changle of Ningguo is not a random one. Every daughter of the royal family may get the title of princess, but this title has only two characters, and the title of Ningguo's two-character title was added because of Princess Changle's great deeds in fighting the rebellion. , There are only a few princesses who have received such titles in the past dynasties. So I gave up. I never thought that Princess Changle would be willing to give up such a privilege and fly away with me.
I took a step forward and held Princess Changle's plain hand, and I said, "Your Highness, thanks to your favor, Zhe is very grateful. Although Zhe is only a grass-roots citizen, he will definitely make the princess happy."
Princess Changle's face was bright red, she whispered: "If I don't believe you, why should I follow you? But don't call me Your Highness Princess, my name is Li Zhen, and you will call me Zhen in the future. Come on."
I only felt tenderness in my heart, and whispered: "Zhen'er, I will definitely not let you down."
When Princess Changle thought of her bitter love for many years, she finally came to this day, her eyes turned red, and she jumped into my arms. I hugged Princess Changle's delicate body tightly with one hand, but my eyes looked at Xiao Shunzi gratefully. , if it wasn't for him to make his own decisions, I'm afraid I would really die alone. Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, but did not speak.
I helped Princess Changle to get on the carriage, while Zhou Shangyi and Xiao Liuzi got into the carriage behind. They were all loyal to Princess Changle, and they didn't want to be punished for losing the princess, so they went together.
The carriage set off again, I held Princess Changle's slender hand, and I just felt full of joy, God, after all, I have been favored by me, so that after I lost the fragrance, I got such a close lover. As for how the emperor and King Yong will react, I have long since cared about it. Anyway, I don't really plan to go back to the official circle of intrigue.
King Yong, who was officially established as the crown prince, returned to the palace, and soon got the news of Jiang Zhe's disappearance. He hurried to the Cold Garden, only to see that all the guards had been drugged, and all the toys that King Yong had given in the garden. All of them were sealed up, and none of them were taken. All the documents and letters were listed in the catalogue, and some indicated where they were kept, and some indicated that they had been burned. On the bookcase, there is a letter from Jiang Zhe. After Li Zhi opened it, he saw a poem written on it.
"The gold waist pendant has been withdrawn, and the news is also common. People in the world want to know the cold garden guest, but it is only a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River."
Li Zhi sighed, sat down on the chair, and said, "Could it be that Gu still can't convince you?"
At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng said: "Your Highness, there is some news that may make His Highness happy?"
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows to express his doubts, Xiahou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "Just now, when I got the news of Lord Jiang's departure, I asked people to check it out. It seems that Princess Changle went out of the palace today, and the princess only brought Zhou Shangyi and a little eunuch with him. Some guards, but these guards who are in charge of protection have already returned to the palace to plead guilty, because they were restrained, and finally got out and came back to report. Her Royal Highness is also missing."
Li Zhi's eyes lit up and said, "You mean Chang Le eloped with Yun."
Xiahou Yuanfeng said respectfully, "I don't dare to make a rash decision, but Your Highness, if there is no news from the princess, she should go with Lord Jiang."
Li Zhi laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Changle finally has the courage, as long as Suiyun becomes Gu's sister-in-law, Gu can rest assured, he will come back sooner or later." I'm afraid I'll be angry, I have to go to the palace to persuade me."
At this time, Shi Yu walked in in a hurry and said, "Your Highness, the border army reported that Long Tingfei led the army out of Mingshui Pass and invaded Zhenzhou. The military situation is urgent."
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Sure enough, I'm here, immediately pass the edict, and this king will fight in person."
Shi Yu said categorically: "Your Highness, this is not possible. In the past, you were the prince who led the army, so you can naturally lead the army to fight. Now you are the prince of the country, and you have the responsibility of supervising the country. Now that the domestic situation has not been settled, Your Highness must be in control of the capital. The overall situation, otherwise, it will be a big loss because of the small, and Your Highness can no longer take risks, and His Highness's identity is different."
Li Zhi frowned. The change of identity made him a little uncomfortable, and he fell into distress for a while. Who else could lead the army except himself? Flying handsome is not so easy. Seeing Jiang Zhe's book on the table next to him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Suiyun, why are you leaving alone at this time?"
At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng suddenly said: "Your Highness, there seems to be some words behind the letter."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and went up to pick up the letterhead. Sure enough, there was a line of small characters on the back, which wrote: "The Northern Han must take the opportunity to launch troops and invade the territory, but the only one who can be handsome is Li Xian, the king of Qi. His Highness sincerely invites you, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi will definitely bow his head and obey orders. ."
Li Zhi held the letter and was stunned for a while, his expression changed a lot, and he didn't speak for a long time. At this time, a guard rushed over and said, "Your Highness, all your lords are already in the main hall waiting for His Highness to discuss matters."
Li Zhi woke up, smiled slightly, and said, "I'll go now, I pass the Gu's order, this cold garden will be closed from now on, no one will be allowed to enter, and the servants in the garden will stay and take care of everything here. Don't slack off." After saying that, Li Zhi flicked his robe sleeves and walked out, there are still important things waiting for him to deal with.
At this time, it is already late autumn, the bright moon is in the sky, the breeze is full of the garden, Li Zhi is walking in the cold garden, but his heart is full of pride, Northern Han, Southern Chu, wait, my Dayong iron cavalry will come soon .
(End of the third "Seize the Inheritance")
The fourth beacon fire
