The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 15: The King’s Power

At that time, there was a mixture of fish and dragons in the East City. General Qin reported to Taizong. Taizong rose up and brought hundreds of people to the East City. He went to the East City and shouted at the door: "The spies are in chaos, and my people will stand still. "When it is, Taizong Jinjia Jinyi, whoever sees it worships, chaos is determined.

——"Yong Shi·The Book of Emperor Taizong"

The King Yong sent someone out to inquire, and it didn’t take long for him to return. Li Zhi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: “In the early days when I was in the Ministry of War, I thought about what to do if there was a disturbance, so I trained the Forbidden Army. How to deal with such a thing, now it seems that Qin Qing is still taking care of the door. It is very appropriate. Now it is just a city gate on fire, and the chaos is concentrated near the East City. As long as it is handled properly, it will not cause trouble. Into chaos."

In my heart, I was fortunate that my cousin Jing Shunqing’s Jiang Nanchun was in Liren City, and at the same time I was worried about the big search that would inevitably follow, knowing that Xia Jinyi is still in Chang'an. After listening to King Yong’s words, he couldn’t help but admire: "His Royal Highness is foresight, proficient in military affairs, and his ministers are extremely admired, but the riot in the East City is very strange, and the minister really does not understand."

Li Zhi took a deep look at me and said: "Suiyun, you are not in the army after all. From the eyes of this king, it is my negligence. In recent years, the struggle for reserve has become more and more fierce and forgetful. The world has not yet settled."

It suddenly dawned on me, and slapped my palm: "It must be the secret spy of the Northern Han Dynasty. Southern Chu is weak and prosperous now. Although those people claim to be Shu people, they are quite stable under the rule of King Qing. It has been destroyed again, so it is only possible in the Northern Han Dynasty. The bottom of the temple said that there are policemen at the border. I am afraid that it is precisely because the Northern Han Dynasty has a criminal situation. This time, sending people to provoke the turmoil in Changan. This is also killing two birds with one stone. To offset the influence of the emperor’s accusation and sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor’s Mausoleum, it can also make all the forces in the Great Yong Dynasty suspicion each other. Just now, the Caichen was still wondering whether Zheng Xia was assassinated because the prince angered. Nor will he be put under house arrest. Now it seems that it may have been done by the Northern Han Dynasty."

The King Yong shook his head and said: "The people of the Northern Han Dynasty are sturdy. If they are sent to rob and kill, it is also possible if they are to assassinate a general. But they can't do such a thing to assassinate a clean and honest civil official."

I fiddled with the folding fan in my hand, frowning and said: "Three major events happened tonight. King Qing was destroyed in Chang’an’s secret stronghold. Zheng Shizhong was assassinated in front of the Suzaku gate. Now the East City is in chaos again. Maybe it was the work of the North Han Secret Spies. Alas, I also neglected them. I didn’t expect them to be so arrogant. Now it seems that it is the precursor of their invasion. King Qing, King Qing, this is possible, in Chang'an. If anyone has an antagonism with King Qing, I am afraid that Fengyimen is the most suspicious, but this is nothing, it is not a big deal to guess wrong, but who assassinated Zheng Shizhong? To be honest, Zheng Shizhong is the emperor's loyal minister. , Has been trusted by His Majesty, and now he is personally involved in the affairs of the East Palace. He has always been upright, and I am afraid that he is dissatisfied with the Prince. Having such a person by the emperor’s side is only good for His Highness. Could it be that..." Stop talking, the next guess is too horrible, even I dare not think too much.

The King Yong also moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just said: "Suiyun, the Fengyi Sect Master tried with soft blue that day, we flatly refused, I'm afraid we will have to be careful about Fengyi Sect from now on. Assassin."

I said coldly: "His Royal Highness does not want to be constrained by others, and the ministers have never liked being restricted by others. Feng Yimen has long been incompatible with His Highness. From the Shaolin Sect's reaction, the day when the Fengyimen betrayed their relatives is not far away. If your Highness makes peace with Fengyimen, you will lose your rare hearts and opportunities."

The King Yong smiled proudly: "Although this king knows that Fengyi Gate can make me ascend to the throne easily, but things in the world are often not greedy for shortcuts. This king is determined to rule the world, and in Jing Suyu, he can be threatened. Although the master of Fengyi’s family is well-intentioned, it is a pity that this king is not a person to be taught."

I said in a salute: "His Royal Highness is ambitious and respectful. I hope that the minister can see a peaceful day in the world."

The King Yong said solemnly: "With the cloud, you have helped me a lot. In the future, I will discuss the affairs of the country with you. You can definitely see the day of peace in the world with your own eyes."

I smiled slightly. Although I have obtained the Shaolin Temple mentality, I have improved a bit after practicing in the past few days, but if I work so hard, I don't know how many years I can live.

Looking at the sky reflected by the fire, I was a little uneasy and said: "His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness did not follow your Majesty to Qiaoshan, is she in Wuchenan today?"

The King Yong glanced at me and saw that I was a little dazed. He shook his head lightly and said, "Don’t worry, there must be someone to protect the Wuchen Nunnery. The emperor’s status is precious, but the father and the emperor loves the daughter. Respected and loved by the people of Dayong, no one dares to relax. Suiyun is not at ease."

My face was red, and said: "No matter whether someone is going to protect Her Royal Highness, your Royal Highness should send someone to see it."

The King Yong smiled faintly and said: "I shouldn't worry about this, I must have sent someone to go."

At this time, a maid came in and said: "The princess ordered the servants to report to His Royal Highness, and the guards sent to visit the princess reported back. The Chief Xiahou has taken someone to protect the Wuchen Nunnery. Now the situation is chaotic, and the princess gave her the gift. A letter persuaded the princess to return to the palace tomorrow. The princess had already agreed and said that the empress should take Miss Roulan into the palace to see her."

The King Yong waved his hand to let the maid retreat, so I was relieved and asked: "Then who should guard the King Yong Mansion now, can your Highness pay attention?"

The King Yong smiled and said: "If this King wants to wait for your reminder, I am afraid it will be too late. It is Pei Yun who is outside now. Don't worry, no one can take the opportunity to harm this King. Besides, you are not Has the palace guards been warned a long time ago?"

I smiled sternly. Just now I asked Sima Xiong to go out to send an order to guard him in private. Unexpectedly, I did not hide it from King Yong.

As we continue to study the incident tonight, Qin Qing's envoy has already entered the gate of the Yongwang Mansion.

Listening to the messenger’s report, King Yong’s expression sank and said: "These secret spies are too hateful. The East City is a great place in Chang'an. This time it has suffered a heavy loss. I am afraid they are fishing in troubled waters. , Who doesn’t have bodyguards to protect them. If this development continues, I’m afraid the East City will be in ruins. This is not enough. This king has to deal with it immediately."

I quickly stopped and said: "His Royal Highness, the East Market is already in chaos. If your Highness goes and settles the dispute, it will be okay. If it is useless, I am afraid that someone will count the responsibility for this matter on Your Highness. It’s better to be quiet, please think twice."

But this time, King Yong, who has always obeyed me, shook his head and said: "Suiyun, this king is Prince Dayong, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. At this time, it is when I am doing my best for the court and the people. For personal gains and losses, the chaos in the East City will be subdued sooner, and the losses will be less. Changsun Ji and Sima Xiong, you can order a hundred guards, and follow me to the East City. You must be careful with everything in the Fuzhong, Master Cizhen and Xiao Shunzi must have at least one by your side."

I still wanted to dissuade, but when I looked up, Li Zhi was so energetic and compelling that he couldn't speak. He had to bow his head and said, "I’ll follow your orders, please rest assured, Xiao Shunzi, I will send him to the back house to protect him. The princess and several princesses, including Master Cizhen and General Pei outside, don’t have to worry about things in the palace."

Li Zhi smiled faintly and shouted: "Take this king's golden armor, this king wants to see, who would dare to disturb the imperial capital of Da Yong."

The guards outside the door shouted in unison. Not long after, King Yong’s guards had brought the gold armor, and the King Yong did not avoid others. He took off his plain clothes, put on the gold armor, and put on the Shu brocade robe. , Walked outwards, dragons and tigers, very vigorous, those guards were all killed out of Yongwang's thousands of troops and horses. Seeing Yongwang's momentum, it was like before the war, and they bowed in unison: " His Royal Highness King Yong is a thousand years old, one thousand years old."

I clearly felt the strong atmosphere of the **** battle on the battlefield. I couldn't help being moved by the murderous passion that rose to the sky. I also said loudly: "I wish your majesty every success, and the ministers will host a banquet in the palace. Your Highness is back to celebrate."

The king of Yong laughed and said: "All the soldiers, I heard Lord Sima is about to hold a banquet for me. Let's go back soon, so we can drink all night."

Those guards have stopped working, opened the middle door, surrounded King Yong and got on the horses. At that moment, the horses were like dragons and the people were like tigers. They rushed out of the palace gate, and disappeared for a moment, leaving only the dust and smoke on the imperial road and gradually low The sound of horseshoes.

I watched King Yong’s back disappear, and my mind was full of thoughts. Although King Yong did not accept my opinion, I was not at all irritated. Such a person is worthy of being the king of all things and worthy of me. Lord of Zhe.

At this time, Pei Yun, the commander of the Forbidden Army guarding the Yongwang Mansion, rode over and said to me: "My lord, His Royal Highness is worthy of a generation of famous generals. Seeing the guards and cavalry of His Royal Highness, you know that His Royal Highness is rigorous in governing the army and the soldiers are using their lives. Unfortunately, Pei Yun did not have the opportunity to fight under His Royal Highness."

I smiled faintly, and said: "There will always be a chance. Recently, there have been some changes in the Northern Han Dynasty, and there are some risks in the border. Your Royal Highness is going to ask the emperor to patrol the border. If you wish, you can ask your Highness to join the army."

Pei Yun's eyes lit up and he was thinking about the feasibility, but this news was heard by the imperial army behind Pei Yun, but they were all thoughtful.

I secretly smiled in my heart and used this method to spread the news, not afraid that the prince would not quickly plan how to prevent King Yong from returning to the barracks. Suddenly, I remembered one thing. Although the North Han Dynasty instigated the Chang'an Incident, the actual effect was not as great as imagined. Unless, they had other plans, how should I plan this incident? , My heart went back and forth, and suddenly remembered one thing, I was shocked, and quickly said: "General Pei, I need your help."

Pei Yun was startled and said: "My lord, please give me orders."

I waved and said, "General Pei, you come with me." After saying that, regardless of whether he would follow or not, I hurried back to the cold garden, thinking in my heart that the time should be too late, I couldn't help but be glad I thought about it. One thing is that I worry about nothing, better than regretting it.

Li Zhi came to the East Gate of the East City. Now Qin Qing is commanding the imperial army there. Qin Qing is already very anxious. Seeing King Yong's arrival, Ce Ma yelled in front of him: "Your Highness, there is already It’s chaos. The final general has ordered several times that if they refuse to stop, they will be forcibly suppressed, but they refuse to obey. May I ask your Highness whether the final general is allowed to use force."

Li Zhi said coldly: "East City is where the Chang'an Essence is located. Almost all the big merchants in Dayong have shops in East City. If the jade and stone are burned, I am afraid that the economic lifeline of Dayong will be damaged. Well, Qin Qing, how about you temporarily hand over the command of the Forbidden Army to me?"

Qin Qing wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "The last general will obey." After saying that, the general's order was quickly passed, and the forbidden troops were all overjoyed. They had heard about the prestige of Emperor Yong, and many people had seen it before. With the heroic appearance of King Yong stepping into battle and killing the enemy, under the leadership of the generals, the more than ten thousand forbidden troops shouted in unison: "Respect your Royal Highness General Order, Your Highness is a thousand years and thousands of years."

People who were fighting in the East City heard the chants of the imperial army, and many people couldn't help slowing down. At this time, the crowd near the East Gate exclaimed, only one in gold armor and a red cover The graceful man in the Shu brocade shirt had a gentle expression. He sat on his horse and appeared in front of the Forbidden Army. There were two soldiers beside him, one in black and black armor, with a straight mouth and a good appearance, and one with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Wearing a cyan battle armor, the black-clothed general has a horse made of stainless steel in his hands. He knows that he weighs no less than 20 catties at a glance, and he wears a horizontal sword at his waist. He knows that he is a brave general at first sight. The Tsing Yi general had a silver spear in his hands, carrying a golden bow, and immediately hung four quiveres. The two generals and the left and right tigers are both faintly murderous, with a calm demeanor, making it even more so that the Jinjia general is calm and calm.

The people in this East City are mostly people who travel from the south to the north. They are so dear to Dayong's famous generals, and at first sight, they know who has arrived. The sword in his hand couldn't use any strength, and his heart was anxious, lest His Royal Highness Yong Wang ordered suppression.

The king of Yong looked at it and saw that these popularity was weak, and he said loudly: "Now the spies are making trouble and instigating divorce. You and others are all of my great Yong people. How can you help you be abused, if you have no intentions, You need to sit down on the ground, put your hands around your knees, Sima Xiong, you count ten times to this king. After ten times, if there are standing people shooting all of me, this king will be able to attack the world and attack the city. Xiaoxiaodongshi is obstructed."

Li Zhi used internal force when speaking, and these people could hear clearly.

At this time, Sima Xiong had already said loudly: "The army followed me and shouted, His Highness King Yong has an order, not a spy. He sits on the ground with his hands on his knees. After ten sounds, those who stand will definitely kill him."

In a moment, the military order was passed down, and only thunderous shouts were heard. The Yongwang military order was repeated three times loudly, and everyone in the East City could hear it clearly. At this time, Sima Xiong pointed his Ma Jian at high altitude, and said loudly: "One." All the troops also echoed in unison, and the voice shocked the world. Sima Xiong used Ma Li to point to the sky as his mark. Later, as long as the imperial soldiers saw Sima Xiong's movements, they would count in unison.

The ten sounds have not been counted. The crowds at the east gate have already sat down. At this moment, someone screamed: "They are all lie. We can only fight to protect ourselves, but they are trying to cover up. It must take us as rebellion."

As soon as his voice rang, some people in the crowd were panicked, and the situation seemed to be difficult to control. King Yong smiled coldly and said in a long voice: "Eldest grandson, kill me the spies who spread rumors."

Long Sun Ji had prepared bows and arrows long before King Yong made his voice. Now, when he heard King Yong’s decree, he raised his hand with an arrow. The shadow of the arrow shot into the crowd and nailed a man to the ground. One hand immediately stunned the audience, and those people began to look at the heavily armed army with panic.

Li Zhi said loudly: "This person is talking nonsense and intends to instigate. If this king regards you as a rebellion, he has already ordered encirclement and suppression. Now this king thinks that you are all deceived. As long as you obey the military order, this king will never pursue it. ."

After all, Li Zhi rode his horse forward. Sima Xiong, Changsunji and a hundred guards surrounded King Yong with their eyes. Wherever the group went, Li Zhi continued to announce the amnesty, and the people of Dayong gave the capital to King Yong. It was very respectful and obedient. He sat down on the ground and set aside the road. Li Zhi walked slowly along the road in the East City. Changsun Ji clenched his bow and arrow tightly. If someone provokes him, he will be an arrow. Absolutely, with keen eyes, he didn't kill anyone by mistake.

Li Zhi has a faint smile on his face, but his eyes are dignified in the cold. He just looks around at the crowd. Those who are still hesitant can't help but let go of their weapons. Behind them, the forbidden army blocked outside entered the East City in an orderly manner, confiscated the armed soldiers of various identities who had sat down on the ground, and then monitored them back to their residences and were not allowed to go out. The East City is very large, and Li Zhi patrols along the four main roads in the city ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Wherever he goes, some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, but the strange thing is that Yong Wang Mingming is unarmed, but his eyes only As soon as he swept over, everyone was frightened, as if they had forgotten the power of the **** general beside him. Along the way, although there were a few people outrageously dissatisfied, but Changsun Ji, Shenjian and the guards' horizontal swords quickly killed them on the spot, and the dignified power of King Yong also made them intend to provoke the incident. His actions fell to nothing.

Until the dawn of the generals, the East City was finally controlled by the Forbidden Army. Fortunately, many important merchants were kept behind closed doors and only allowed their subordinates to guard the shops. This did not cause irreversible losses. Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had to be cruel to suppress the turmoil in the East City, but he didn't dare to do anything about the consequences. Now that the situation has been controlled, as long as these people are interrogated carefully, the secret spy of the North Han Dynasty can be found. Come.

Li Zhi said to Qin Qing: "General Qin, the situation is now under control, and the general power of the king is returned. You can handle the rest. If there is anything you can't decide, you can see me at the palace, and where to go. Wei Xiang reported that this king will go back and change his clothes. Now that the overall situation has been decided, this king will also enter the palace to inform the queen and all the empresses."

Qin Qing admires the authenticity very much: "I can see the majesty of His Royal Highness today, the final will worship, please rest assured, your Royal Highness will definitely handle the matter properly."

Li Zhi smiled slightly and was about to leave. At this time, a group of imprisoned soldiers came over with a few rope-bound men. Li Zhi stayed on the horse, took a look, and asked: "These people should take good care of them. Be sure to interrogate carefully."

Qin Qing was about to answer, when the big guys suddenly hissed: "Li Zhi, take my life." As they said, they raised their arms and the rope broke every inch, and the tough guys and the small group of forbidden troops pounced on Li Zhi at the same time.
