The Golden Age Chapter 763: Fatal vulnerability
If you say that the first noble son of the Tang Dynasty, Xiahouning must be Xiahouning.
The nephew of today's saint, the eldest son of the prime minister, the dragon scale lieutenant who was named a marquis, and served as the dragon scale guard, has been radiant from the moment of birth, and has a background that countless people want and cannot get.
Guoxiang has two sons. Compared with his younger brother, Xiahouning obviously has high hopes from Xiahou's family.
Since I was a child, I knew that I would take on the rise and fall of Xiahou’s family sooner or later, so Xiahouning has been learning literary and martial arts since he was a child, and he has strict requirements on himself. , So the temperament has a high self-esteem, will always be high above, and will never care about the feelings of others.
Xiahou's clan has fought against Princess Musk Moon in the court for nearly ten years. Of course, Xiahouning also knows the situation of Xiahou's family.
Although the Manchu dynasty chanted long live, no one in the world can really live 10,000 years. Today’s saints ask the truth and ask immortals. It seems ridiculous to Xiahouning. Throughout the ages, many kings have wanted to live forever, but in the end But none of them can stay on the throne for hundreds of years.
The saint has been around for half a hundred years. Even if he takes the pill regularly and maintains it properly, there will eventually be a day of funeral.
The saint does not have a prince. After her death, succession to the throne will be the most important thing in the empire.
No one has ever dared to mention this in Manchu dynasty civil and military affairs, but many people think of it.
Of course, the Xiahou's family in it must plan ahead.
Xiahouning knows very well that once Musk Moon inherits the throne, Xiahou's family will face the disaster of extinction. This is a sharp sword hanging on the head of Xiahou's family, so Xiahou's family has suppressed Musk Moon all these years. In order to fight for power, but more is to consider the future of Xiahou's family.
At that time, the Xiahou family supported the enthronement of today's saints. Since that day, the Xiahou family has no retreat.
No one knows what the saint's mind is.
Of course, she might pass the throne to her own daughter, but if she considers the life and death of the Xiahou clan, she might not make another choice.
In the minds of the prime minister, the best choice is for the saint to accept Xiahouning as his adopted son and change the surname of Xiahou to Li. In this way, Xiahouning, who has changed his ancestor, becomes a member of the Li family in name. There is also the possibility of inheriting the throne.
But Xiahouning always thought that the fate of Xiahou's family must be in his own hands.
The biggest threat to Xiahou’s family comes from Musk Moon. Although the Xiahou family has been suppressing Musk Moon’s forces these years, they have always been able to compete with Xiahou’s family, relying on Musk Moon’s backing from the south of the Yangtze River. The family knows very well that in order to completely defeat the Mosk Moon, the foundation of Mosk Moon must be destroyed, and that is Jiangnan.
In recent years, the Xiahou family did not want to control Jiangnan in their hands all the time, but the Jiangnan clan was extremely supportive of Musk Moon. The Xiahou family spent countless energy, but they were still unable to stretch their tentacles to Jiangnan. Jiangnan became Xiahou’s family. Forbidden area to enter.
This time the Jiangnan chaos is a golden opportunity for Xiahou's family.
Xiahouning knows very well that as long as he controls Jiangnan and masters the empire’s treasury, Musk Moon is not an opponent of Xiahou's family at all. Even if the saint does die one day and passes the throne to Musk Moon, Xiahou's family still has control. The strength of the ruling and opposition parties.
What about when She Yue becomes the queen? It's just a puppet of Xiahou's family.
The purge of Hangzhou was part of Xia Houning’s plan. Although the Prime Minister did not tell him exactly what to do, he had his own ideas in his heart to restore Hangzhou to the original
The allegiance to Musk Moon was exhausted, and the blood was used to deter the Jiangnan clan. When the old clan in Hangzhou was cleared, the Xiahou family was fully capable of supporting the new clan on this land.
Everything seems to be planned. The powerful families in Hangzhou are already in jail, and the families that were once **** supporters of Musk Moon, such as the Hangzhou Lin family, have also been destroyed.
Musk Yue can't get away in Suzhou. Even if she rushes over now, it's too late.
But he didn't expect that She Yue would actually send Qin Xiao.
Xia Huning has seen Qin Xiao, and still has a great impression of him, but of course, An Xinghou, who is arrogant in nature, can't put a small Dali Temple Shaoqing in his eyes.
But after Qin Xiao arrived in Hangzhou, he first arrested the soldiers and horses he had sent to Jiaxing to arrest the Wei clan, and even chopped off the Lang general Shendu, and he simply controlled the Hangzhou Battalion in his hands. Regardless of the matter, it was groundbreaking on Tai Sui's head. Looking at the Tang and Manchu civil and military affairs, I am afraid that no one would dare to lick the tiger's whiskers like this, but the Lord Shaoqing did so.
If you change to an impulsive noble son, I am afraid that you will have to kill the army directly.
But Xiahouning is not a reckless man.
For these two things, other officials did not dare to do it, but Qin Xiao did it, which can only prove that Qin Xiao is confident, and he soon thought of Qin Xiao's identity as Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple, if you change to the past, let alone Xiahouning in Anxing, even ordinary officials in Kyoto will not take it seriously.
But now Xia Honing has keenly sensed that something is wrong.
He knew that after She Yue learned about the situation in Hangzhou, he would never sit idly by, but Xia Houning was confident. He brought the wise strategy army to counter the rebellion, and used the Hangzhou prefect’s yamen to clean up the Hangzhou family. It was in the name of peace and chaos, even if She Yue came to stop him personally, he would not be afraid.
But he didn't expect that it would be Qin Xiao who would come over.
There is no doubt that Sheyue clearly intends to come to Hangzhou to reverse the case as Shaoqing of Qin Xiao Dali Temple.
Although no one can stop the Shence Army from arresting the rebellious party, it is up to the Shence Army to decide whether or not the arrested party is the rebellious party, but when Qin Xiao is here, it is not the Shence Army's words.
What made Xia Honing even more annoyed was that as soon as Qin Xiao arrived, Fan Yang, the former Hangzhou governor who pretended to be a dead fish, immediately came back to life.
Not only that, Chang Shi Sha Deyu and the prefect Mao Yizhi, who had already knelt down at their feet, changed their faces immediately and quickly hugged Fan Yang into a group.
Xia Huning has realized at this time that it is not as easy to hold this piece of land as Hangzhou in his hands.
Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Xiahou family has never penetrated into Jiangnan. Instead, it was because Chengguo Gong’s Zhao family was banned and the household was controlled by the state minister. This directly led to the entire Jiangnan family’s hostility towards Xiahou’s family. Sheyue, who represents the interests of the Jiangnan clan, is hostile to the Xiahou clan, so the whole Jiangnan is full of hatred against the Xiahou clan.
Previously, I carried out a slaughter in Hangzhou. Under the military might, Hangzhou officials and gentry were silent, and no one dared to stand up and resist.
For this reason, the entire Shence Army Pioneer Camp, including Xia Huning, has the illusion that Hangzhou officials and gentry are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and they must be killed or taken.
After all, he is the first noble son of the empire. After all, he is the sage army guarding Kyoto. The gentry of Hangzhou, who dares to jump out?
But Qin Xiao has not yet entered the city, and officials headed by Hangzhou Governor Fan Yang have begun to fight back, which makes Xiahou
Ning suddenly understood that the previous group of officials looked like sheep, but they were just an illusion.
The district governor, Mao Yizhi, dared to take a large number of files to the governor's house, and the three giants in the officialdom of Hangzhou also joined forces and set up a posture to confront the Shence Army.
Xia Houning didn't pay much attention to those files at first.
And in his plan, he had already made plans from the beginning.
Mao Yizhi recorded every case into a file. This is his duty. Xia Houning naturally knew that if those files were to be investigated, they would not withstand the scrutiny, but who in Hangzhou would dare to scrutinize them carefully? ? When the anticipation plan came to an end, sent someone to sneak into the prefect’s office and burned all the files in one fire. As a result, there are no files in the convicted cases, and naturally they cannot go through the files and commit the crime again. And Mao Yizhi’s protection of the files is weak, or avoid or Kill, it depends on your mood.
This plan can be said to be impeccable.
But he missed Qin Xiao.
The appearance of Qin Xiao caused a fatal loophole in this plan.
He wanted to send someone to burn the file, but it was too late. He wanted to **** the file, but Mao Yizhi sent it to the Cishi Mansion first.
Xia Houning knows that even though he has a prominent identity, there is national law in Datang. If he is unscrupulous and ignores national law, Sheyue has found a handle, and he will definitely use it to attack him, so he ran directly to Cishi Mansion. It is absolutely impossible to **** the case file. After all, Fan Yang is a great official in the frontiers, and for no reason to trespass into the governor's house, he will inevitably be involved in numerous enquiries, and it will also make the governors of the Datang states suspicious of Xiahou's family.
Elaborately designed the assassin's assassination scene, sent people to the Assassin's Mansion to capture the assassin, took the opportunity to search for the case file, but unexpectedly killed Chen Xi, who was in the Purple Clothes Prison, and asked Qiao Ruixin to bring back the assassin's corpse that did not exist. The elaborate plan was immediately Bathe.
This Anxing Houjing suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Except for Musk Moon, no one has ever made him feel this way, but now because of a Dali Temple Shaoqing who he doesn't like, the sense of crisis is once again in his heart.
It's almost dawn, but An Xinghou and several ministers stayed up all night.
"Master Hou, do you want to send someone to sneak into the Assassin's Mansion and steal the file?" Lang general Qishen looked solemn and couldn't help but asked softly.
Xiahou Ning not only commanded thousands of elite soldiers, but in order to ensure his absolute safety, he also had four guards around him. Of course, these four personal guards were not ordinary people. There were three fourth-rank masters, and even one fifth-rank master. Quality repair.
Qiao Ruixin frowned and said: "The Cishi Mansion is already alert, and it is not easy to send people in. Moreover, Chen Xi of the Ziyi Supervisor is now in the Cishi Mansion. In addition to him, there are people from the Ziyi Supervisor to follow. It’s still unclear how many people there are. Sending people here is a self-inflicted snare.” Xiang Xiahou Ning said: “Master Hou, even if Qin Xiao really overturned the case by relying on those case files and found out the omissions, the chief culprit is Mao Yi. Therefore, in every case, the evidence was first handed over to Mao Yizhi. After Mao Yizhi agreed, we sent people to arrest him. This matter does not involve Lord Hou."
Xia Huning’s angular face was cold and terrifying. He glanced at Qiao Ruixin and said coldly: “Is this husband worried about implicating himself? If it is true that Qin Xiao is overturned, the plan to clean up the Hangzhou family will be wiped out. After Mao Yi’s death, what can we do?"
Qi Shen felt hairy in his heart.
I really want to reverse the case. Although Mao Yizhi is guilty, he took part in the arrest, and he will definitely not spare him by then.
