Invincible son

Chapter 645 Chapter 644 [Not crazy]

Fengcheng Hou Mansion.

Ever since Li Bingzhong was deposed as the head of the Southern Camp, the gate of the Marquis Mansion has never been opened, and the mansion is full of cold and lonely emotions.After the assassination broke out, Li Bingzhong even stayed out of the gate and spent a lot of time in the ancestral hall every day.

Li Bingzhong was not involved in Lu Jiang's incident. After witnessing the quarrel between the First Prince and Pei Yue, he willingly died without involving Li Bingzhong.Of course, he did not have any substantive evidence. Li Bingzhong only had a few secret talks with him, and his words were mostly hints. He never explicitly asked him to assassinate Pei Yue.

In the quiet and deep ancestral hall, Li Bingzhong stood tall and tall at the bottom of the hall, looking at the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the past, said in a deep voice: "Do you know that this is a great crime to punish the nine clans."

In the side shadows, a man's voice sounded: "The risk is great, and the reward is even greater."

Li Bingzhong asked again: "Why is Your Highness looking for me?"

The man replied: "Because Lord Hou has lost power, he has resentment in his heart, and he has a blood feud with Pei Yue, so naturally he is the most important candidate for His Highness."

Li Bingzhong sneered, "I'm just a dog raised by Wang Pingzhang. Your Highness must have overestimated me."

The man said calmly: "There are many blind people in this world, but His Highness's strength lies in being able to see something different. Many people may have forgotten that you have been the governor of the five armies for so many years, except for Wang Pingzhang and Other than Lu Min, he is the person who knows the defense of the capital best, and he has cultivated many forces secretly. Now that Wang Pingzhang has died down and Lu Min died in the western region, His Highness needs your help."

Li Bingzhong shook his head and said, "Ms. Li is grateful for His Highness's attention, but you should know His Majesty's means. If it is changed to other things, His Highness has an order, of course I can't refuse, even my head can be offered." , but the nine clans will be punished for rebellion, I can't take the spirit of the ancestors of the Li family to accompany you on adventures."

The man said slowly: "It's not about taking risks, it's about setting things right. It's not about rebellion, it's just about Qingjun."

Li Bingzhong smiled, looked at the man's face hidden in the shadows and said, "Actually, you don't have any confidence, right?"

The man was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Highness is stronger than you imagined."

Li Bingzhong asked: "How to prove it?"

The man spoke softly.

Li Bingzhong's expression changed from doubt to shock, and he couldn't help shaking his head after listening to it: "You are really a bunch of lunatics."

The man smiled and said: "Nowadays, the Beijing police are strict, and all the officials are complaining. There are also ups and downs in the army. After all, making meritorious deeds is a matter of those who make meritorious deeds, but the soldiers below have to work hard for them. After the assassination, the image of the Tian family was severely damaged. , and people will definitely relax a bit after experiencing a crisis. All these are god-sent opportunities, and if you miss this time, there will be no possibility of anything happening in the future. Lord Hou, don’t you really want to avenge Young Master Li? Stepping into the court again? How did Wang Pingzhang get his status today, don't you really know?"

Li Bingzhong's complexion changed slightly after several questions in succession.

After a long time, he said with a solemn expression: "I want to have a detailed discussion with His Highness face to face."

The man nodded in satisfaction, and said softly: "I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Li Bingzhong turned his head to look at those spiritual positions, his eyes were extremely complicated.

……

On the south bank of the Tiancang River, tens of miles south of Jiangling City, the Great Zhou Chengbei Camp.

Zhen Guogong Fang Xie Xiao looked at the middle-aged man opposite, and asked with a smile: "Is the old Hou Ye still in good health?"

The middle-aged man's name is Xian Dongqing, he is the eldest son of the Marquis of the North, Xian Chunqiu.

Xian Chunqiu also has another identity, the head of the Chu State Mansion in Daliang more than [-] years ago.After the massacre in the second year of Zhongzong Jianping, Xian Chunqiu defected to the Southern Zhou Dynasty with hundreds of children. Xian Dongqing was his only surviving son. Although he later married a wife and had children in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Xian Dongqing was the most respected and trusted by his father. .

Xian Chunqiu is 63 years old this year. He is already an old man in his sixties. He basically doesn't interfere with military affairs, and leaves everything to Xian Dongqing.

"Thank you, Grandpa, for your concern. My father is still in good health." Xian Dongqing replied respectfully.

Fang Xiexiao said calmly: "Old Hou Ye is always strong and strong, this is the blessing of the country. I heard that the old Hou Ye mentioned the recent incident to His Majesty?"

Xian Dongqing nodded and said: "That's true, but my father said that the Duke must understand his painstaking efforts."

Fang Xiexiao pondered and said: "This tactic of slowing down the army is actually not a problem. After all, the emperor in the north made the move first, and tried his best to make one division famous, so as not to cause too much resistance in their court. But I think this matter is a bit obvious. Worry, do you have to send a princess to the people in the north to buy Da Zhou the most time?"

Xian Dongqing showed a little embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "If it wasn't for the marriage with the princess, I'm afraid the north will ignore it."

Fang Xiexiao sighed softly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty's secret decree says that letting the eldest princess marry the eldest son of the northern emperor will at least buy Da Zhou two years, but I don't think this may achieve the goal. "

Xian Dongqing fell into silence when he heard the words. In fact, he also thought the same way in his heart. The emperor's mind in the north has been clearly revealed. Not to mention whether he would agree to the marriage between the two countries, even if the eldest princess really married, How could she, a weak woman, stop Million Liang Jun?It's a bit taken for granted to pin all your hopes on a single marriage.It's just that this matter was initiated by his father, and His Majesty also nodded in agreement. Even the Eldest Princess herself had no objection, so naturally he could not speak out against it.

In the end, Fang Xiexiao just shook his head and didn't say any more.

Xian Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming here, she was very worried that she would not be able to convince the Duke of Zhen in front of her. After all, if he did not agree, the mission would not be able to go north.

Fang Xiexiao raised his eyes and asked, "How far has that matter progressed?"

Xian Dongqing's heart trembled, she bowed her head and replied: "According to my father's plan, this matter has gone smoothly, and I have told that woman surnamed Leng more than a month ago that according to calculations, she should have arrived in the northern capital in the past few days. "

Fang Xiexiao said with deep eyes: "If you can really kill Pei Yue, it would be a good move."

Xian Dongqing agreed: "This person's status is becoming more and more important now. After his death, no matter what happens between the emperor in the north and his son, at least Gu Liang will suffer a heavy blow. As long as Gu Liang is not personally Leading the troops south, the pressure on our side will be relieved a lot."

Fang Xiexiao raised his hand and tapped the table, and said after a long time: "Go back and tell the old Hou Ye that I have no objection to the marriage, but don't worry right now. If the north can be done, I will lead the army to capture the three cities of Jiangling and take Liang Everyone rushed back to the north of the Tiancang River. If the matter fails, it will not be too late for the princess to go north."

Xian Dongqing heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and responded, "I would like to follow the order of the Duke."
