Turbulent Times Chapter 1184: Undercurrent surging
As soon as Yang Guang finished speaking, an old **** walked out of the shadows. It was the controller of the intelligence organization that belonged to Yang Guang alone, and the old **** whom Yang Guang trusted most.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true that Wang Junlin had a great influence on the Lanyiwei Mansion through Xu Jingzong and Shen Guang before, but this time Xu Jingzong was drawn by the crown prince and turned against Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin, Yu Wenshu, and Hongnong Yang joined forces to ambush Wang Junlin with 10,000 soldiers, but Wang Junlin failed to discover the reason in advance." The old eunuch's voice was a little hoarse, but his answer was very calm.
Yang Guang nodded, and said: "I understand, pass on my will, remove Yu Wenshu from the post of General Youwei, order him to shut up at home and think about his mistakes, and not to leave the house for half a year."
After a pause, Yang Guang said again: "Pass the decree to Xu Jingzong, let him lead the spies from the Blue Yiwei Mansion to thoroughly investigate the illegal things in the temples all over the world."
…
…
Wang Junlin didn't have a mansion in Luoyang, so after meeting up with more than 400 special team experts led by Zhang Tiangang outside the imperial city, he walked towards the post house.
When I arrived at the post house, it was past evening, the days are short and the nights are long in winter, and the sky has completely darkened. After entering the courtyard of the post house prepared by the imperial court in advance, many people had already waited for a long time.
"I pay homage to the lord, congratulations, my lord, on being crowned king." A group of people in the yard saluted Wang Junlin respectfully, congratulating him on being crowned king.
In addition to Shen Guang, there are Jing Tian, Zhang Jike, and Chong Yao.
Jing Tian was in charge of the Red Knife Club in Daxing City before the capital was moved in the Sui Dynasty, and took care of the Xiaoyu Theater for Wang Junlin. When they arrived in Luoyang City, they were also transferred here. Over the past seven years, Jing Tian has already controlled the entire underground world of Luoyang City.
As early as when Yang Guang was the prince, Zhang Jike was ordered by Wang Junlin to join Yang Guang and become Yang Guang's senior staff. After becoming the emperor, they all made a lot of great achievements, and now they have become the servants of the imperial court. Although they are not as favored by Yang Guang as Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, they have always been regarded as direct descendants by Yang Guang, and they are quite trusted.
Chong Yao led a large number of masters to Luoyang more than a month ago. At the same time, Wang Junlin asked the chief elder of the Wulin guild, Master Spring and Autumn Valley, to go to the headquarters of the Wulin guild to make some necessary arrangements.
Zhang Jike and Jing Tian naturally concealed their identities and sneaked in to meet Wang Junlin. At this time, seeing Wang Junlin looked a little excited, after all, they hadn't seen each other for two years.
Wang Junlin Jingtian and Zhang Jike helped him up and said, "You two have worked hard."
The two immediately clasped their fists together and said: "Compared to the prince's expedition to Goguryeo, our hard work is nothing. On the contrary, spending the prince's money, these years can be said to be enjoying the glory and wealth."
Wang Junlin shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't be pretentious, let's get down to business!"
Shen Guang immediately calmed down, and said respectfully: "My lord, the lowly position is incompetent. The spies of the Blue Yiwei Mansion near the capital can only control a quarter, and the other three quarters have been controlled by Xu Jingzong, but the lowly position can guarantee that , Outside of the capital, all sub-governments are our people.”
"I can't blame you." Wang Junlin shook his head. In the original history, Xu Jingzong could become Wu Zetian's right-hand man, but Shen Guang's methods of intrigue and buying people's hearts were not comparable to Shen Guang's.
"I am about to ask the lord for instructions to allow me to sneak into Xu Jingzong's mansion tonight and assassinate this thief." Shen Guang said with a look of resentment.
Wang Junlin shook his head again and said: "No, Xu Jingzong's rebellion is fine at this time, otherwise the fact that the Lanyiwei Mansion is under my control will definitely be known to the emperor, which will be detrimental to our future plans. Today I had a secret conversation with the emperor, and it was very difficult for the emperor to dispel his fear and suspicion of me. If you assassinate Xu Jingzong again at this time, it will only make the emperor feel his suspicion of me again."
"I understand." Shen Guang nodded unwillingly and said: "But the Yuwen family and the Hongnong Yang family dared to assassinate the prince, and the humble office has already made arrangements to assassinate the Yuwen family and the Hongnong Yang family at any time. The prince has to wait for the prince to decide."
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Don't worry about the prince for the time being. Your Majesty is just such a son, but he can't touch him. As for the Yuwen family and the Hongnong Yang family who assassinated me again and again, naturally we can't just let it go, but the other party is sure. We have already thought that we will retaliate, so we must be prepared in advance, and whether the Yuwen family or the Hongnong Yang family has a profound background, we dare not take it lightly. And I have already promised Your Majesty that this matter will not cause too much trouble in the capital. So you have to understate and kill people."
When everyone heard the words, their spirits lifted, and they immediately said: "My lord, just give orders."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "With the force we have, the enemy in the city is also unable to mobilize the army, and the emperor has already acquiesced that it is too easy to kill the opponent. That's enough, of course I need to plan carefully, after all I have to give the emperor a second big gift..."
…
…
"Your Majesty had a secret conversation with Wang Junlin for more than an hour, and then he issued a decree to remove the old man from the position of General. No matter what Wang Junlin said, it seems that His Majesty has no doubts about Wang Junlin for the time being."
Yu Wenfu, in the secret room, Yu Wenshu said this with a gloomy face.
Among the few people standing in the house, Yu Wenhuaji said with a stern face: "Father, all the five thousand cavalry brought by Wang Junlin are outside the city, and the number of people who followed him into the city is less than five hundred. There are also experts accompanying him, but how can we compare with our Yuwen family in Luoyang City? It is better to mobilize people to surround and kill him. Your Majesty is short of money and food recently. Father just needs to find an excuse to donate a sum of money and food to Your Majesty, plus us The Yuwen family has followed His Majesty since His Majesty was the crown prince, and they have done a lot for His Majesty in these years, and the second brother is also the prince's son-in-law. After Wang Junlin's death, even if His Majesty reprimands him, he will not do anything to his father."
Yu Wenshu heard the words, frowned and pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "Since the face has been completely torn apart, and this opportunity has been missed, it will be difficult to kill Wang Junlin, the enemy, and of course we must continue to ambush him." , but with Wang Junlin's character, it is absolutely impossible to just wait for us to kill him, if I guessed correctly, I am afraid that I have already started planning to take revenge on us."
After a pause, Yu Wenshu looked dignified, and said: "Shiji and Zhiji, you two go to make arrangements. From now on, the direct descendants of the mansion will use silver tableware to prevent Wang Junlin from poisoning secretly, and let all fake children bring A team of people, twelve hours a shift to guard, never let down your vigilance."
