Chapter 1444 King Yan Domineering
A few hours later, before dawn, Zhang Jackal saw Zu Qing in a secret room on the side of Dongtai.

"My father-in-law is worthy of being a pillar of the country with deep roots and extensive friendship. At present, the temple is heavily guarded, even if I go in and out, it is very uncomfortable. Although I am eager to meet, I can only wait here in disrespect."

After meeting, Zu Qing complimented Zhang Jackal.

The former Buddhist hall where Zhang Jie and other important officials live is far away from the Dongtai where Zu Qing is on duty. He is one of the generals in the Chinese army, but if he really wants to act freely, the other on-duty troops may not give him convenience. Of course, it is still possible to send family members to convey messages in private.

Zhang Jackal's ability to appear in front of Zu Qing in such a short period of time really revealed his extraordinary background and connections. Even though the Lord has carefully sorted out the six internal armies, he still hasn't completely eliminated the convenient channels he managed.

However, after hearing Zu Qing's compliment, Zhang Jack didn't show any pride on his face, he just said seriously: "What important business is there to meet so urgently?"

They, the son-in-law, were already suspicious and distrusting each other.If it wasn't for the serious and impatient tone of the Zu family's message, and the fact that Zhang Jack's current situation is really bad, he would not have risked exposing his hidden contacts in the Sixth Army to come to see Zu Qing in a hurry.

"Don't disappoint my father-in-law."

Zu Qing no longer pretended to be a mystery, and directly placed the soil bag dug by the general in front of Zhang Jack, and explained its origin.

Hearing this, Zhang Jackal's complexion became solemn, he rubbed the soil in his palm and took a deep breath, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Ah Lang doubts... but there are hundreds of people living in the West Palace, and ordinary people are also unavoidable to be sick , how can you honestly say that it is what you think in your heart?"

Zu Qing cursed secretly in his heart, probably the old fox had doubts in this regard for a long time, but he had just received a painful lesson before, and he did not dare to have delusional thoughts without conclusive evidence.Of course, if there was only this sign, Zu Qing would not dare to say it outright, but if he added that the guards on duty were frequently killed, he would be [-] to [-] percent sure.

But just as Zhang Jack refused to trust him, Zu Qing would naturally not reveal all the secrets he had.Only the generals of the imperial guards at his level knew about those random orders. It was obvious that Zhang Jack had no way to do this.If he wanted to take the initiative in the cooperation, Zu Qing naturally had to hold back.

"I don't dare to say it out loud, because I urgently asked my father-in-law to discuss it together. I am going to secretly arrest a man from the West Palace. I don't know if my father-in-law thinks it is okay?"

Zhang Jie frowned after hearing the words, and looked at Zu Qing carefully, as if he wanted to see his heart.If the lord is really sick and can't see things, it will be great news for him, but Zu Qing's eagerness makes him not sure what this son-in-law intends to do.

The reason why Shi Hu arranged for Zu Qing to be Zhang Jack's son-in-law without worrying about Zhang Jack taking advantage of this to win over his confidantes, was precisely because of the suspicion in people's hearts, and made sure that they couldn't be honest with each other.And the current situation is indeed the same. The two have strong appeals in their hearts, hoping to get the other's cooperation and help, but for the sake of their own safety, they have to keep their own reservations.

It is true that in Zhang Yu's view, Zu Qing was still suspected of testing himself for the Lord, but Zu Qing was not worried that Zhang Jack was colluding with others, so he turned around and betrayed himself.In order to get a short chance to return home, the old fox is even willing to kill his own young son, not to mention his cheap son-in-law who was forcibly sent to his door!

However, in the current situation, after all, Zhang Jack's situation is slightly passive.Even if Zu Qing didn't make any changes and allowed the situation to develop, he was still a young man in the country and a confidant general that the Lord valued.

But at present, Zhang Jackal, although he has not lost too much power in the dark, but the adjustment of power in the New Year has the meaning of making him empty, and the only thing he gets is the vanity of a grand tutor. It can only play a little role if it is entrusted with the fame of Zhongshan King Shishi.

However, Yan Wang Shi Bin was in charge of internal and external military affairs as a general, and Zhang Ju, who had been promoted to Taiwei, was his assistant. Once these two returned to the capital, they would suppress Zhang Jack even more severely.Although Zhang Hao had decided to support the stone world a long time ago, with the rise of a group of dignitaries and dignitaries, the imperial concubine Liu did not need to rely on Zhang Jack alone to stabilize her son's position.

Because of this, after receiving the summons from Zu's family, Zhang Jack came to see him in a hurry at the risk of exposing some of his hole cards. He was more eager for changes than Zu Qing.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jack spoke again: "He Yu is dead, killed by King Yan..."

Zhang Li, whose name is He Yu, went to Bohai Sea as an envoy many years ago to attract Shi Bin to return to the country.Hearing what Zhang Jack said, Zu Qing's heart suddenly trembled. He didn't know much about Shi Bin, but he also heard from rumors that this King of Yan was arrogant and domineering, especially his father Shi Hu.There is no need to conceal Zhang Li's murder. The middle school is still not fully aware of it, and it is probably due to the difference in information transmission.

Zhang Jackal told Zu Qing in advance, which undoubtedly showed that he and Yan Wang Shi Bin had no possibility of peaceful coexistence. Once Yan Wang officially arrived in the capital to take over the military affairs of the six internal armies, a new round of suppression would naturally be launched against Zhang Jackal.Although Zu Qing is Shi Hu's confidant, he may not win Shi Bin's favor. As Zhang Jack's son-in-law, he will inevitably be implicated.

"The king of Yan is domineering and can't be in harmony with the crowd. The lord entrusts him with a great responsibility, so fortune and misfortune are unpredictable!"

Zu Qing sighed in a melancholy tone, to show that he also has no lack of resistance to Shi Bin's return to power.

"That's right, the country is in dire straits, and it can only be maintained by the lord's power and kindness. Although King Yan is brave, he has no kindness and power in the country. It is another trouble to return home. It's a pity, my lord. If the mind is like this, it may not be hindered by people's will."

Zhang Li's death naturally made Zhang Jack feel heartbroken.It's not that they feel sorry for the life of this cousin, but because of the many potential forces in the Zhang family, which were managed and contacted by Zhang Li earlier, but now that Zhang Li is gone, it is difficult to flexibly control this part of the power.

But everything has two sides. Although Shi Bin is the most prestigious among the lord's sons, he has been in the frontier for a long time and has no foundation in the court.Although he is about to return to the country to take power, but before entering the capital, he has cruel means to make his reputation known, which will inevitably make people's heart throbbing.

Shi Bin didn't have the level of amassing prestige like the master Shi Hu, but he insisted on establishing his prestige with brutal means. Even if the six internal armies are all controlled by the master's confidantes, they may not obey Shi Bin.

Once the lord's health is worrying, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate. Sacrificing Zhang Li can get some potential allies. Precious enough.

Therefore, the information obtained by Zu Qing at the moment is nothing more than a fairy tale to Zhang Jack.Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, it is enough to make him take risks to seek proof.

"In this eventful autumn, no one can be happy. Fortunately, Alang and I can still support both internally and externally. Our son-in-law may not ask for great things to be established. We just want to seek perfection and stability in the current position. Human feelings should be like this, and even the Lord can't be harsh. .”

After weighing it for a while, Zhang Jackal said again: "Ah Lang, you must not act arbitrarily at the moment, so as not to cause trouble to yourself. The west hall will prove it, and the old man will do it himself. Even if it causes trouble, the old man will not regret it. I only hope that before and after the event, Ah Lang, can you remember that Ninth Lady respects and respects her, she is a woman, and she takes good care of her mother and brothers."

Zu Qing saw Zhang Jack's awe-inspiring attitude of being willing to put himself in danger and not want his son-in-law to suffer, and quickly thanked him, but in his heart he sneered that the old fox was still cautious and refused to trust the information he provided, lest he be afraid will be misled.

However, this is also in line with Zu Qing's wishes. To arrest the people from the West Palace Palace, there will inevitably be a danger of scaring the snake. Given Zu Qing's current situation, once someone finds out, he may not be able to deal with it calmly.Shi Hu forced him to marry Zhang Jackal's daughter, so he used the information he had to instigate Zhang Jackal to continue to plot adultery, which was also a kind of backlash.

After a secret meeting between the two, Zhang Jack finally gave Zu Qing a more secret and secure communication channel, and left Dongtai in a hurry before the sky was bright.

What Zhang Jack will do next, Zu Qing has no way of paying attention.But he didn't take back his eyes and ears because of this, also in order to avoid being betrayed by Zhang Jackal's wrong information.At the same time, he also began to secretly adjust his corps, placing his confidants and generals in some key positions.

No matter what kind of conspiracy, in the end it is nothing more than a struggle of forces.

The most credible power in Zu Qing's hands is the family generals who have followed his family from north to south and never left. Although so many years have passed, this part of the elderly has withered a lot, and now there are less than 30 people left. Excluding old illnesses, there were no more than a dozen people available, but with the help of these confidantes, he was more confident in controlling the more than [-] Chinese soldiers under his command and playing a key role at critical moments.

At the moment of life and death, Zhang Jackal no longer has any reservations.Although the senior generals of the Chinese army have been replaced and it is difficult for outsiders to win them over, it is difficult for some low-level commanders, including soldiers, to be completely eliminated for a while. Among them, there are still people planted by Zhang Ji.

When this part of the force was mobilized, Zhang Jack didn't need to capture the people from the West Palace as Zu Qing planned. After just a few hours, he grasped the specific situation of the West Palace, especially the master Shihu.

The reason why he didn't use this power before is that every time he uses it, he will increase the risk of exposure. It is not easy to keep this part of power. Even if it is to be exposed and sacrificed, naturally the sacrifice must be at a critical moment of value.

The news was very gratifying. Just as Zu Qing expected, Shi Hu was indeed seriously ill. Although it may not be life-threatening, once the news spread, it would also be heart-stirring.Right now, the main reason to block the disease is to maintain the current situation, at least until King Yan Shibin returns to take over the power.

In addition, Zhang Jackal got a more critical piece of information: Yan Wang Shi Bin is very close to Xindu, and the Chinese army general Shi Cheng who is in charge of staying in the West Palace will soon secretly go out of the city to welcome Yan Wang back to the country!
After learning about this, Zhang Jack was pleasantly surprised. He also paid close attention to Shi Bin's itinerary, but he didn't expect that there was still a wrong judgment.If Shi Bin returns to China in a ignorant state, it will be even more difficult to make a comeback.But now it can be said that heaven has favored him, with Zu Qing's communication warning, let him grasp the situation, reverse the situation, and set the trend, tonight!
