The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 26: The aftermath never stops
On November 3rd in the 23rd year of the Great Yongwuwei (Southern Chu to the first year of Hua), the decree of the Supreme and Holy Spirit was added to the King Qi, and everyone knew that its intention was in the King Yong.
--"Yong Shi·The Book of Emperor Taizong"
Leaving the Cuiluan Temple, Ji Guifei took a deep breath and expressed her depression. Liang Wan is the lover of the master Fan Huiyao and an important chess piece in Fengyimen. She has made outstanding achievements in Jiangnan, and she has been with the prince Li Ang reached an agreement. Unexpectedly, it was ruined in Jiangnan this time. It was heartbreaking. The master sent a secret letter to find out all the details of Liang Wan's madness. He knew that the master suspected that King Yong had moved. Hands and feet, after all, King Yong is already dissatisfied with Liang Wan, otherwise he would not send someone to establish another intelligence network. But from the only Changle princess who had experienced it personally, there was no trace of useful information.
Ji Guifei sneered slightly, besides King Yong, who else would anyone else? If they were from Nanchu, they would definitely not let Princess Changle go, unless they belonged to King Yong, they would treat Princess Changle like this, but Without evidence, I can't blame Yong Wang Li Zhi for nothing. Thinking of the emperor’s award, Ji Guifei was even more cold-hearted. At today’s celebration, Li Yuan announced that because Emperor Yong had made outstanding achievements in warfare for many years, he had destroyed the Chu Chu successively in recent years, and the current official position could not commend him. Thanks to his deeds, he issued an edict to make King Yong the marshal of Tiance, led the great Situ, was above the kings, enjoyed the food of 20,000 households, and bestowed a set of Guan Mian, a pair of golden sedan chair, a pair of jade bi, and six thousand catties of gold. , Preaching the music of Jiubu before and after, and forty people in the Banjian, what an honor is this, even the prince's honor is only slightly better.
What makes Ji Guifei even more frustrated is that the emperor issued an edict to allow Tiance Shuaifu to set up his own officials. According to the report reported by Li Zhi, there are Changshi and Sima, who are engaged in Zhonglang, and military counselors. Two persons, four persons for signing, two persons for master record, two persons for record, two persons for military affairs in the record room, two persons for military service, warehouse, soldier, cavalry, armor, and six Cao, and six persons for military affairs. In this way, Li Zhi's Tiance Commander Mansion became a small imperial court with a small sparrow and a complete set of internal organs. Will the emperor change his mind and make Li Zhi the crown prince? After thinking for a long time, Gui Concubine Ji shook her head. Although King Yong had a high level of merit, the prince did not have any obvious failures, and according to her understanding of the emperor, I was afraid that the emperor would regret the reward for King Yong tonight. The emperor will find ways to reduce the power of Emperor Yong. Since ancient times, there have been a few good results, and Ji Guifei smiled triumphantly when he thought of this.
At this time, a scarlet **** hurried over and reported: "Niang Niang, the emperor has posted a decree. I will rest with Niang Niang tonight. Please return to the palace as soon as possible. I guess, in half an hour, the emperor. It will be here." Ji Guixi was overjoyed. She knew very well that although she looked good, she did not stand out in front of the emperor in terms of affection and favor. What's more, she had always been an expression of indifferent favors, and let herself Rarely get pets, but on the other hand, his status as a contact between Fengyimen and the emperor is more prominent, so the emperor often allows himself to participate in state affairs. The emperor wants to stay with him tonight. It seems that he wants to discuss Yong It seems that the king’s affairs are not wrong. The emperor is already very afraid of King Yong. Thinking of this, Ji Guiqiao's pretty face showed a smile like spring flowers.
Some people are happy and some are worried, and the same is true after the grand celebration banquet. In the magnificent Prince’s Mansion, Li Ang angrily brushed all the documents on the book case to the ground, shouting: "Li Zhi, I will not kill you alone, oath Not human." After shouting, he fell into a chair and looked at the study door viciously, as if King Yong was about to come out from there. For a long time, he said exhaustedly: "Come here, please Shao Fu come to see the lonely."
But for a moment, a plain-looking black-bearded scribe came in. He was dressed in the official uniform of the prince Shaofu. He didn’t pay respect to the prince. He sat on a chair in the prince’s left hand and smiled: "What is your highness? So angry?"
Li Ann angrily said: "Li Zhi is now the Marshal of Tiance, the old man just barely gave him the seat of my prince, how can you tell me not to be angry."
The scribe smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has been worried, and the emperor has taken great care of His Royal Highness. If you want to establish the Yongwang as the prince, you have long established, why wait until today."
Li Ann said frustratedly: "Young Master didn’t know that at the beginning his mother was the father of the emperor. Although I was the eldest son, I was a concubine. Later, his mother had a short life and returned to heaven early. Shi, after the father was proclaimed the emperor, his mother was named Empress Xiaoxian, so I am inferior to him in terms of his concubine, but I took the title of the eldest son, and the mother is now the queen, so I did it. Prince, now, now, I really don’t know what to do. If my father changes his mind, I really have no way of doing it."
The scribe flashed his eyes and said: "His Royal Highness is a fan of the authorities, but the minister thinks that the crown prince's seat is as dangerous as an egg on the surface, but in fact it is as stable as Mount Tai. His Royal Highness wants the emperor to favor the King, but the minister thinks that the emperor is jealous of the King. Over the past few years, King Yong conquered the South and the North. Most of the world of my Dayong was defeated by him. The emperor will inevitably feel that he has been blessed by his son. Nowadays, King Yong has a great reward. If the emperor makes him a prince, it is logical. Things, but the emperor would rather give special rewards than change the prince’s position. This is obviously partial to the prince. The officials thought that the emperor did not love his highness, but that his ascension symbolized the emperor’s supreme authority, so the emperor would not He is willing to change his decision. As long as his Royal Highness expresses his filial piety to the emperor and his concubines in front of the emperor, respects his concubines, respects King Yong, brothers and friends, and respectfulness, the emperor will never change the prince, not to mention the support of Fengyimen. Wan's defiance is because of her own decision. After some time, the emperor will think of him a hundred years later, if the prince can't subdue the prince, what should be done, he will try to suppress the prince, as long as his highness is on the throne With the help of King Qi on the outside and the help of Fengyimen on the inside, the life of King Yong is just a piece of cake."
Li Ann listened to it for a long time, and finally smiled, and said: "Young Master, thank you for enlightening the King, what should we do now in your opinion?"
The scribe chuckled and said: "Do more mistakes, less do less mistakes, your Highness may wish to unite the light and the dust, but it is the King of Qi, your Highness has to win over, the King Qi was defeated a few days ago, and his Highness gave King Qi a lot His face, this is too unacceptable. Without the assistance of King Qi, His Royal Highness will not have a general who will protect the sky in the future."
Li Ann stood up and said, "Be careful." There was a warm expression on his face and said: "The sixth brother likes beautiful women. I recently selected two stunning women. I originally wanted to give them to Father, choose one for him first."
The scribe also showed a smile on his face, but he immediately raised his face. Ang Li glanced at him and said with a smile: "Young Master still pretends to be serious in King Gu's place. That stunning beauty can't give you, but this King still has a few beauties. How about giving you two."
The scribe lowered his eyelids and said: "Then thank you for your reward."
Ang Lee laughed, and the laughter came out of the study, far, far away.
Li Zhi, who returned to the mansion with drunkenness, took the anti-drinking medicine, hurriedly took a bath with cold water, and then came to the chamber in a refreshing suit. There were already some people in the hall, it was Shi Yu. Shi Ziyou, Guan Xiu, Dong Zhi, and Gou Lian were several counsellors. The generals were all drunk and returned today. Li Zhi did not let them over. Seeing that they were discussing in a low voice, Li Zhi ordered Sima Xiong to be on guard outside. He walked in. , Said with a smile: "Let several gentlemen wait a long time, this king is late."
A few counsellors stood up and saluted, and sat down. Li Zhi looked at Shi Yu and asked: "You have met Jiang Zhe, how do you feel?"
Shi Yu smiled bitterly: "Jiang Zhe arrived at the palace, as if he were his own home, his subordinates arranged the best yard for him, he just smiled faintly, after living in, he gave the maid arranged by his highness The servant didn’t have any objections. If it hadn’t been for the fact that this person had always refused to submit to His Highness, I would have thought that he had been loyal to His Highness. I think if His Highness arranged for him an official position, he would not refuse. I think he seems to like it very much. A comfortable life, at least not against death."
Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "This king also knows this. If not, I am afraid that this king still has some ways. If he wants to die with his full name, this king only needs to treat him carefully and take care of him. On the day when he changed his mind, but he was so easy-going. This king gave him an official position. I am afraid that he can also eat a corpse. He writes poems and talks about piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy every day. It is only what the king really needs, but he is stingy. Granted, now this king can’t wait to become Prince Zhao Jue of De. Although Zhao Jue is unfortunate, he has treated him heartily. Alas. What the king is most worried about is King Qi. Although King Qi is reckless, it is not without intention. He is right. Gu said that he would wait for Jiang Zhe to be his teacher."
Guan Xiu and others looked at each other and smiled, and they all said: "His Royal Highness has been worried. If this person is so easily moved by King Qi, we won't have to bother so much."
Li Zhi changed his mind and felt that he was a little worried. He was about to ridicule a few words, but when he saw that Shi Yu was thoughtful, he was a little worried and said: "Ziyou, do you think that King Qi might recruit Jiang Sui? Cloud?"
Shi Yu came back to his senses and smiled: "His Royal Highness, the idea of King Qi is not bad, but it is a bit flattering, but we can learn from it. The son is smart, Yingwu, although he is only five years old, he already knows the words. If the world’s son is allowed to worship him as a teacher, then he will not become the help of His Royal Highness, I think he will never meet the talent and would rather miss it."
Li Zhi was overjoyed and said: "Ziyou is really a good strategy. Okay, tomorrow is a banquet to wash the dust. Let the world’s son come out to apprehend the teacher. The action must be fast. I have reported his affairs to the emperor, and the emperor will summon him. As for him, we will not be able to put him under house arrest after the emperor father summoned him."
Although it may not be able to achieve the goal, but finally got a way, Li Zhi felt relieved and smiled: "By the way, Ziyou, you said what happened to the princess Changle, I sent someone to investigate. , But the time is too short to find any clues. I sent people to survey the place where they were attacked. Some of them looked like the handwriting of a small army, but who rushed to kidnap the princess at that time? And, this king does not understand The question is, why did the spies who returned have committed suicide? The princess is safe and sound. In any case, they have done more than they have done, and they should be guilty of crimes and self-determination. They should also explain to the king in detail what happened?"
They have discussed these things many times. Li Zhi just wanted to see Shi Yu’s opinions. Shi Yu replied: "The subordinates have also thought about this issue. The only conclusion is that, first of all, they are not targeting When the princess went to the palace, their goal was Liang Wan, otherwise Liang Wan would not be the only one who was hurt, and those spies committed suicide, but the subordinates felt that it was not because of fear of crime, it was a kind of agreement. They might also know when they saw the hijacker. A lot of things, but they were able to bring the princess back safely. This not only shows that they have no malice towards the princess, but also shows that they are sure that they will not reveal their secrets. The princess always knows nothing. Then these spy agents must have committed themselves Promise."
Li Zhi said: "Nevertheless, to put it awkwardly, although these spies are my Da Yong warriors, they should be loyal and trustworthy, but they have returned to this king, telling this king that the truth should be better than the faith of keeping promises, right? "
Shi Yu sighed: "This is the most terrifying point, unless they think that it is more beneficial to your Highness to dictate and die than to tell your Highness the truth."
Li Zhi's expression stunned and said: "You mean those people have enough power to threaten this king."
Shi Yu nodded and said: "Yes, listening to Yongquan said, His Royal Highness inspected the bodies of the secret agents afterwards and found that although they received some punishments, they were basically not serious. That is to say, the other party did not abuse the punishment. From the perspective of Liang Wan, all her memories are destroyed. This method is very secretive. In other words, the other party’s methods are vicious and vicious. I think the pressure on the secret agents must be very high, and in the end even more than they can. The limits of endurance allow them to abide by their promises and dictate themselves."
Li Zhi said in distress: "Unexpectedly, these people are still active in the dark, Ziyou, what do you think these people are from?"
Shi Yu replied: "The subordinates think that the only thing that can be guessed is that those people are not hostile to my Da Yong, otherwise the princess will not return safely, but those people are targeting Liang Wan, the subordinates think, if It's not related to Fengyimen, or Liang Wan's actions in Nanchu. Your Highness might as well start from these two aspects."
Li Zhi nodded again and again, saying: "Ziyou is the king's daring, if there is no Ziyou, where is the fighting spirit of this king."
Shi Yu smiled and said: "Jiang Zhe is the two wings of His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness has this person, he will be even more powerful."
Everyone smiled at each other.
During this sleepless night, I didn’t rest either. I stood in front of the window and looked at the beautiful scenery of the snow queen in the garden. Xiao Shunzi walked over and complained: "My son, you are just getting better, and you are blowing here again. , I don’t know how to take good care of my body. It’s very cold here. I have asked them to prepare a hand stove.” After speaking, he put a hand stove in my arms and put a fox fur cloak on my shoulder.
I smiled and said: "Don't worry, my body is not so weak, how is it, have you seen the defense of the Yongwang Mansion."
Xiao Shunzi smiled and said: "They watch very closely. I just looked at it casually. If I was alone, there would be nothing. If I took the son, I might not be able to escape."
I shook my hand and said, "Well, I didn’t plan to let you save me. In any case, I can always save my life, but I don’t want to sell my life for others. Those people kill and kill, there will always be someone who can dominate the world. No matter who it is, it doesn’t matter. Besides, King Yong has a great chance of winning. Xiao Shunzi, look, it’s snowing again."
Xiao Shunzi followed my gaze and looked out the window. Ruixue fell silently, and the cold wind blew her face. He couldn't help but smile: "When Nanchu accidentally ends in the snow, the son will enjoy the snow and drink. Now that the snow here is so good, the son is interested again."
I nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow you go and ask them for some good charcoal and some good wine. I think this snow will not stop tomorrow. Should I drink and write poetry?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "I can only warm the wine for you. I don't understand those poems."
I sighed: "Yeah, you, the only thing that dissatisfies me is that I can’t write poetry essays with me, but if I don’t have you, I can’t help but lose my interest in drinking, good friends, good wine, Feixue, but It is indispensable, but unfortunately, if the fragrance is still there, alas."
Xiao Shunzi comforted: "My son, the deceased is dead, don’t be sad."
I looked at the flying snow outside the window, no more words.
The next day, there was a continuous snowfall. Li Zhi received a message. Li Yuan made an order that because King Qi attacked Nanchu twice, he fought hard and fought hard, and caused Prince Nanchude to be seriously injured and killed. , I also gave a set of Dagon Mian, a golden sedan chair, Shuangbi, two thousand catties of gold, preaching two parts, and twenty people in class swords.
Upon hearing the news, Li Zhi was not angry, but was completely chilled. He won the battle, but he got the end of his father’s suspicion. The reward to King Qi was not just to check himself, he said to Shi Yu indifferently : "Ziyou, my father treats me so badly."
Shi Yu was also sighing, just about to console Li Zhi, at this time Gou Lian hurriedly walked in and said: "Your Highness~IndoMTL.com~ Your Highness, Jiang Suiyun’s servant went to ask for charcoal wine and is going to enjoy the snow. I have asked him to lead him to Linboting."
Li Zhi suddenly turned his anger into joy and said: "Okay, you are doing well, let's go, let's go and join in the fun, Ziyou, you can arrange it, and take the world to Linbo Pavilion in half an hour."
At this time, I am already sitting in Linbo Pavilion. The back garden of Emperor Yongwang's Mansion has a small lake of about two acres. It is said that there was a clear spring in the original garden with abundant water, so I dug this small lake. , And then into Yong’an Canal through Chang’an’s drainage system. Yong’an Canal connects to the Weihe River in the north of the city. It supplies half of Chang’an’s water and is an important waterway. So although this lake is within the imperial city, it is still running water.
Xiao Shunzi said while warming up the wine: "My son, why is it not cold in this pavilion at all?"
I smiled and said: "I have only read it in the book, you see, although you can only see a thick layer of vetch on the top of this pavilion, in fact, there are many articles under this layer of grass. Below is a layer of linoleum, another layer of vetch and another layer of linoleum. There are three layers, and then a tile is placed under the last layer of linoleum. This tile is also specially made and hollow, so it is not afraid to cover it on the top of the head. After running away from the heat, look at the stone floor of the pavilion and the stools around it, as well as those copper-cast pillars. In fact, fire dragons are lit on the pillars and the pavilion, just like the kang in common people’s homes. Water, water is most warm in winter and cool in summer. When water is flowing, it will bring in the heat from the ground. The closer it is to the water, the warmer it becomes. So how can it be cold in this pavilion? This is for the rich in the north to enjoy the snow. The specially-built pavilion, as long as you put on a light fur and hug a hand stove, it won’t freeze. Okay, you can see that there is snow and pear blossoms dancing around Qiongyao everywhere. It’s a great place."
