The assassination failed even when Han Yuxi was unprepared, which made Yan Wushuang very annoyed.
Meng Nian explained: "Master, it's not that our people are incompetent, but that Han's luck is too good."
"Failure is incompetence." He only looked at the results, regardless of the process. The abilities of the people who are not enough to send this time are really just average. If they are sent to the top assassins, they will be successful.
Meng Nian dared not say anything.
Yan Wushuang asked, "Has the tail been swept clean?"
Meng Nian nodded hurriedly and said: "They have made arrangements. They will not doubt me, they will only think that it was the Song family's hands." It happened that Yun Qing and Han Yuxi had enemies with the Song family, and they would definitely believe this conclusion.
In fact, Yuxi didn't believe that it was the Song family. If the Song family wants to kill, they should kill Yun Qing. Why do they kill her? If you kill her, Yun Qing can still marry again.
When Meng Nian heard that Yan Wushuang would send a killer, he persuaded him: "Master, our people can't reach Han Yuxi." The last assassination had already started the assassination. After that, Han Yuxi didn't go out easily. Even if he went out, his guards were like clouds.
There is no way to get close, and there is no way to talk about the assassination.
Speaking of which, Meng Nian admired Han Yuxi, and Yun Mansion was managed like an iron barrel by her. The mouths of the servants in the house are like mussels, and they are very strict.
Yan Wushuang thought for a while and said, "Through Han Jianye, I have a chance to get in touch with Han Yuxi."
Meng Nian said, "Master, Han Yuxi is pregnant now. Wouldn't it be better for Yun Qing to use the beauty plan!" If Yun Qing favors other women's husbands and wives, they don't have to worry.
Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian and said, "Yun Qing is not a lustful person, otherwise he wouldn't have even had a woman by his side for so many years. Besides, he is rigid, stupid, loyal, not stupid." Yun Qing is now in a very difficult situation. Dangerous, you may be killed by the Song family if you are not careful. At this time, how could he make a concubine to make Han Yuxi renounce him. What's more, Huo Changqing would not watch him do stupid things when he was there.
Meng Nian hurriedly turned the topic to Han Jianye: "Lord, even if Han Jianye is in the middle, our people may not be able to see Han Yuxi."
Yan Wushuang didn't dare to be 100% sure about this kind of thing: "It depends on our luck."
At this time, Yan Wushuang's confidant, Zhao Huan, replied from the outside: "Master, there is a letter from the capital." After Yan Wushuang had the capital, he sent someone to Beijing. At first, I was inquiring about the news, and then slowly infiltrated the power into the palace and Song family.
The letter said that the seventh son of the Song family had taken a look at the youngest daughter of Mr. Du, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and wanted to accept her as the ninth concubine. The girl was unwilling, so he wanted to snatch it home, but was beaten by the girl's brother Du Xian. In fact, Du Xian didn't make much effort at the time, and let Song Qi lie down for three to five days at most. Unexpectedly, Song Qi died the night he returned home.
The Song family said that they wanted Du Xian to kill and pay for his life, but the Du family was naturally unwilling, saying that Song Qi was not killed by their son. If you don't believe it, please ask for an autopsy. It is a pity that the Song family refused, but insisted that Du Xian pay his life.
The two were in trouble, and finally the Song family sued the government. Jingcheng Fu Yin didn't dare to judge the matter arbitrarily, so he could only let the prince make a decision on the case.
The emperor has long ignored state affairs and is now the Crown Prince Zhou Xuan. Normally, he should let the Dali Temple of the Criminal Ministry or other clean and honest officials try the case. If it turns out that Du Xian really killed Song Qi, then the verdict will be rendered. But Zhou Xuan didn't let anyone hear the case, and directly sentenced Du Xian to death.
Du Shilang was a loyal royalist, but he fell ill immediately after this blow. After Du Xian was beheaded, he followed. And Du's family returned home with the bones of the two of them.
Putting the letter down, Yan Wushuang said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan has no bottom line to favor the Song family, which is a good thing for us. In this way, it will be revealed that he and the Song brothers colluded with the Donghu people and caused the Liaodong tragedy, and everyone will no longer doubt it. "With such a big handle being held by the Song family brothers, Zhou Xuan is naturally going to favor them.
In recent years, the Song family brothers ruled out dissidents from wooing officials, and with the expansion of the Song family’s power, the Song family’s people bullied men and women in the capital. However, no one dared to control it. However, the more Song family was like this, the happier Yan Wushuang was, and he even hoped that the Song family's people would be more arrogant and better. Because of this, it will only accelerate their deaths.
Meng Nian did not comment on this, but only sighed: "It is the ordinary people who suffer in the end." Meng Nian is an ordinary squire home, so he has a special understanding of the lives of the people at the bottom. In the disaster year, many people starved to death without the aid of the court, let alone this troubled world. In Liaodong, a large number of people starve to death every year.
Yan Wushuang said: "In the troubled times, people are like weeds." He was not caused by the current situation in the world. And he has no intention of becoming this savior.
"I hope the Lord can end this troubled world soon." Working with Yan Wushuang's side, I always feel that my brain is not enough. So he firmly believes that after their uprising, Yan Wushuang is the only place in this world.
Yan Wushuang said with a faint expression: "I just want revenge." He is not interested in being an emperor, but if he wants revenge, he can only overthrow the Zhou family.
Meng Nian said, "Lord, your great feud will soon be repaid." The emperor was faint and treacherous ministers were in charge. Today's Zhou Dynasty is already in danger. As long as one's own master raises his arms and rushes into the capital, he will be able to take revenge.
A few months later, news came from the Northwest that the people they sent had failed to assassinate. In fact, it can't be regarded as a failure, after all, Han Yuxi almost died prematurely.
Meng Nian said with some regret: "Only a little bit." It would be great if he died directly due to dystocia.
Yan Wushuang looked to the northwest and said, "Have you ever heard a saying that there is a blessing if you don't die in a catastrophe?"
Money can make ghosts grind, and since he got the asylum of the Yan family's diehard loyalty, he began to cultivate his own power. The killer organization and the dark guard were two of the forces he formed.
Meng Nian smiled and said, "It's just a folk proverb, so it shouldn't be true."
"Han Yuxi is not a person who is waiting to die. This time she almost killed two dead bodies. When she is healthy, she will definitely do something." Like him, he is not a person willing to sit still and be beaten passively.
Meng Nian hesitated and said, "Lord, do you think Han Yuxi will doubt us?"
"What about doubting?" He was afraid that Han Yuxi was suspicious, because he was afraid that he would not be able to start after being exposed, not because he was afraid of Yuxi's revenge.
After that, Yan Wushuang said: "Even if she doubts, she can't avenge her now. The most is to develop her own power."
It's just that Yan Wushuang never thought that his assassination would have stimulated Yun Qing and caused him to rebel.
When Meng Nian got the news, he didn't believe it at first. There is a saying that the nature is difficult to change, and Yun Qing's diehard would be the first to conspire. This, this is incredible.
Seeing Yan Wushuang didn't speak, Meng Nian cautiously yelled, "Master..."
Yan Wushuang came back to his senses and smiled, "Very good."
The imperial court has long lost control of the local government, and the local officials in charge of the territorial authorities with real power have violated the imperial court's orders. But even so, no one dared to rebel. Yun Qing broke this delicate balance, and the world soon became turbulent.
Upon seeing this, Meng Nian asked, "Lord, do we want to push it behind our backs."
"Throughout history, the first person to raise troops has always died the fastest. Therefore, there is no need to do anything." Even though Yun Qing had more than one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, there was a powerful enemy like the Northern Captives outside, and the imperial court encircled and suppressed them inside. At most six months, this family will die.
Thinking of this, Yan Wushuang said: "It seems that I overestimated Han Yuxi." Even if he resents, he should be forbearing at this time. If it was him, he would have to wait until he had accumulated enough strength to raise his troops.
Meng Nian also agreed with this statement: "Women's vision is short-sighted, and their thinking is not long-term enough." But Yun Qing, however, heeded Han Yuxi's suggestion.
That said, but Yan Wushuang and Meng Nian still pay attention to the Northwest all the time.
Yun Qing killed corrupt officials and ransacked the wealth of wealthy officials, but did not harass ordinary people at all. And Yun Qing didn't run away after grabbing the money. Instead, he found a reputable official or a squire to handle one party's affairs temporarily. Each city would also leave a confidant and a part of the soldiers to maintain local law and order.
Seeing these news, Yan Wushuang held the letter and said nothing for a long time. Judging from the things Yun Qing did, it was a long time deliberate, rather than an impulse to raise troops.
Meng Nian also thought of these things, and said: "Master, this Han family has long been rebellious." Yun Qing's side is a strong general like Yun, but there is no powerful adviser. Therefore, all of Yun Qing's efforts could only be the planning of Han Yuxi.
In this regard, Yan Wushuang is not surprised at all. He had long known that Yuxi was not the kind of person who waited to die. If not, it is impossible to get mixed up in the Guogong Mansion without the love of grandmother and biological father. If it weren't for the enchanting concubine, she would have married into a high school and lived a life of pampering.
Meng Nian said: "My lord, I have been prepared early, so I should be able to support it for some time."
Yan Wushuang looked up at the blue sky above his head, and said faintly: "With Han Yuxi's resourcefulness, how can we think of her." So it's too early to make a conclusion.
No one had expected that Yun Qing would have occupied the northwest in just a few months. After occupying Ho City, Yun Qing didn't even continue to fight.
Meng Nian asked doubtfully: "Taiyuan has always been a battleground for military strategists. Why didn't Yun Qing take the opportunity to occupy Taiyuan?" He didn't understand the war. Few people don't know the importance of Taiyuan.
Yan Wushuang said with a very complicated expression: "Yun Qing and Han Yuxi should want to occupy the northwest first, and wait until they have a firm foothold and become the king of the northwest, and then try to do other things."
I remember that on the way to escape, Xu Bo said that he once suggested that his father take control of Liaodong. In this way, you will not be afraid of the persecution of the unruly monarch and the traitorous officials. It's a pity that his father not only didn't agree, but he also reprimanded Xu Bo.
Meng Nian was shocked: "The Lord means, Yun Qing, no, Han wants to conquer the entire world." If so, then this woman's ambition is too great.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "It depends on whether they can live through the two stages before them." The first stage is the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, and the second stage is the invasion by the northern captives after the beginning of spring. As long as one of these two levels is not cleared, Yun Qing and the Han family of four will have no place to be buried.
Meng Nian asked, "Lord, do you think they can pass these two stages?" Once Yun Qing and Yuxi control the entire northwest, they will definitely come to seek revenge.
Yan Wushuang pointed to the blue sky above his head, and said, "It depends on the meaning of this matter." After the imperial court's soldiers and horses encircled and suppressed, there was an invasion by the northern captives. It was logically impossible for him to succeed. But what everyone in this world thinks is impossible to succeed, but some people have succeeded. Therefore, whether Yun Qing can become the king of the Northwest depends on God's will.
After some time, Yan Wushuang was discussing matters with Meng Nian, and he heard Zhao Heng replied from outside: "Lord, there is a letter from Tongcheng."
After reading the letter, Yan Wushuang said, "Dashan is injured and unconscious, I have to go to Tongcheng." Qiu Dashan is one of the few people who can trust him wholeheartedly. Now that he was injured and unconscious, how could Yan Wushuang not be anxious.
Meng Nian said, "Master, I'll go with you!" Tongcheng is Tong Chunlin's territory. He was not relieved to let Yan Wushuang go to Tongcheng alone. Now Lord, there is no tolerance for it.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "You have to stay here. If there is anything, you can deal with it in time." Tang Bo is getting old, and he doesn't want to let him work anymore. Therefore, these trivial matters can only be entrusted to Meng Nian.
After that, Yan Wushuang said again: "You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine." I didn't kill him back then, but now I want to kill him.
Meng Nian did not dare to refute Yan Wushuang's decision even if he was not at ease.
On that day, Yan Wushuang set off for Tongcheng.
Also in the evening of this day, Meng Nian received news that the imperial court would dispatch 50,000 soldiers from Tongcheng to encircle Yunqing.
Meng Nian couldn't help but scold his mother at the moment. Although Tongcheng has 200,000 soldiers and horses, many people die every year, so there are only 130,000 or 440,000 elite soldiers. Deploy 50,000 elite soldiers to counter the rebellion. Once the northern captives know that their army will be under pressure, they will not be able to stop it. The tragedy fifteen years ago will be staged again in Liaodong.
After calming down, Meng Nian quickly wrote a letter to Yan Wushuang. Liaodong is their base camp, but nothing has changed.
Five days later, Meng Nian received a reply from Yan Wushuang. When I opened the letter, it said the words'no harm'.
Although I had known that Yan Wushuang did not like too much pen and ink, a letter with only two characters also left Meng Nian speechless.
Within two days, Meng Nian heard that Tong Chunlin was unwilling to deploy 50,000 elite soldiers to counter the rebellion. People with normal minds will not agree.
Meng Nian sighed and said to himself: "It's a pity that you are the enemy of the lord." If not, he really wants to draw this person over, but he can only think about it. Tong Chunlin killed the Zhang family, and the vengeance of killing his mother was not shared. Yan Wushuang would definitely avenge his mother.
