The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 368 Rebellion
Since Wang Gang had a secret meeting with King Yong, he began to invest a large amount of money in Shuzhong to support King Yong to build a private army.

As Wang Gang paid more and more money, King Yong's trust in him also increased.

Wang Gang even bought a house next door to King Yong's Mansion, and opened a secret road leading directly to the palace, and the two often met privately in the secret road.

His way of getting along is exactly the same as that of Mei Changsu and King Jing in "Langya Bang".

For the sake of convenience, Wang Gang even moved out of the Sheng Mansion. He explained to Sheng Hong and Mrs. Sheng that he wanted to concentrate on studying and prepare for next year's spring.

Mrs. Sheng didn't think it was very good. A family was considered a family when they lived together. Wang just moved out, so it became a separate family.

But Wang Ruofu was very happy, wishing Lin Sushuang could move there together.

As for Sheng Hong, it doesn't matter, it won't affect him anyway.

In this way, Wang Gang moved next door to King Yong and advised him every day on how to deal with King Yan and Zhao Zongquan and reduce competitors.

Wang Gang took advantage of the fact that the intelligence organization in his hand still had money, and indeed helped King Yong get rid of many of King Yan's idiots, which made him so happy that he couldn't sleep.

But after King Yan's strength was greatly reduced, the officials couldn't sit still, and even ended up in person, breaking many of King Yong's wings, and always kept the power of the two princes in balance.

King Yong was completely chilled when he saw the officials acting like this, and believed what Wang Gang said.

"The officials went too far. In order to pave the way for the eight kings Zhao Zongquan, they demoted several people from this king to other places." King Yong now complains to Wang Gang whenever he is free, and regards Wang Gang as his own Zhang Liang.

"The reason why the officials did this is because you have killed too many people in King Yan during this period, and many people in the court have attached themselves to you. The power has expanded too fast, and the balance has been broken."

Wang Gang took the thermos pot in his hands, and he really looked like Sect Master Mei.

King Yong said: "Nephew, tell me what should I do, if this continues, who else can I use in my hands!
Otherwise, you should become an official!I'll help you find a fifth-rank official, and you come to the court to help me. "

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "It's not the right time yet, it's easier for me to help the prince in the dark, but it's easier for me to stand up and become the target of King Yan."

King Yong sighed and said, "I'm going to push someone to compete for the left servant of the Ministry of War. Who does my nephew think is suitable?"

Wang Gang said: "My lord, I think you should take it easy! The position of the left servant of the Ministry of War will not be given to you or anyone from Yan Wang's side."

King Yong frowned and said, "I'm not the minister of the Ministry of War. Doesn't a second in command of the Ministry of War have a chance?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Although Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War is a fourth-rank official, he is only the second-in-command of the Ministry of War, but he is in charge of the assessment of generals. Any bad review can affect the power of the first army. With such an important position, no one can rest assured that the official will be entrusted to anyone. .”

King Yong asked: "Then who do you think can be the left servant of the Ministry of War?"

Wang Gang pondered for a moment, and said: "The government should find an old minister who is always upholding the burden, and the most important thing is a centrist, who has nothing to do with you and King Yan."

Sure enough, as Wang Gang expected, the officials soon transferred Yushi Zhongcheng Huang Pinyan to be the left servant of the Ministry of War.

This Huang Pinyan was neither a member of King Yan nor King Yong, but had something to do with Zhao Zongquan.

Huang Pinyan's son married the eldest daughter of the Liu family, a wealthy family in the capital. Interestingly, the second daughter of the Liu family was the concubine of Zhao Zongquan's son.

After King Yong learned about it, he lost his temper angrily in the palace, thinking that the officials were paving the way for Zhao Zongquan.

Coincidentally, before Chunxi, the officials called King Yong to the palace again, beat him severely, and killed a steward in his mansion.

Relying on King Yong's power, the steward pretended to be a tiger and robbed the daughters of the people. The officials went over Kaifeng Mansion and directly arrested and killed the people in front of King Yong.

This time King Yong was very frightened, thinking that the officials were going to attack him, and after returning to the palace, he sent someone to invite Wang Gang to the secret road to discuss.

"The officials killed my Steward Wu." King Yong panicked when he saw Wang Gang.

Wang Gang calmly said: "Steward Wu has committed many evil things by relying on the lord these years, but the official's move is obviously to shake the mountain."

King Yong paced back and forth in the secret room, and then asked Wang Gang: "Do you think we should do it immediately and transfer the army to Bianjing?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "There are less than [-] Tibetan troops in central Sichuan, and many of them are recruits who have just trained for half a year. They are useless. Even if they are transferred to the capital, they will not be of much use. On the contrary, the transfer of a large army will arouse the vigilance of the officials."

King Yong said anxiously: "Is it rare for me to just sit and wait for death? Today the officials kill my housekeeper, and maybe they will kill me tomorrow."

Wang Gang said calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, the official family is still in good health, and they are reluctant to give up the power in their hands, so they will not call the eighth lord back to be the crown prince for the time being.

As long as the Eight Kings don't come back, you are safe. "

King Yong said uncertainly, "What if Zhao Zongquan comes back?"

Wang Gang sighed and said, "It means that the officials are ready to pave the way for the future prince. At that time, the best result for you and King Yan is to be demoted far away."

King Yong said viciously: "You said before that only if I act first can I have a chance to sit on the throne."

Wang Gang nodded and said: "Yes, the officials have completely kicked you out of the game. Unless you act first and directly grab the throne, you have no chance, my lord."

King Yong said gloomyly: "This king wants to do something."

Wang Gang still shook his head and said, "Now is not the time."

King Yong said anxiously, "When will I wait?"

Wang Gang said: "At least until the time of spring."

King Yong was puzzled and said, "Why?"

Wang Gang said: "Because at the time of the spring, all the juzi in the world gathered in the capital. At that time, not only the juzi, but also a large number of outsiders came here. Fish and dragons are mixed. Private soldiers in Shu can sneak into the capital in disguise."

King Yong's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Chunwei is less than three months old, so I can wait for you."

Wang Gang shook his head again and said, "My lord, don't be too happy too early. Although it is easy for people to sneak into the capital, it is difficult for those weapons and armor."

King Yong smiled and said: "Since my nephew has already expected it, there must be a solution."

Wang Gang couldn't help being funny when he saw King Yong's appearance of Liu Bang asking his ovary and planning to come out.

King Yong now completely trusts him, and even asks him to advise on the matter of rebellion.

"I know that the lord has a concubine, and her elder brother is the magistrate in Jiangning Mansion." Wang Gang pointed out.

"You mean Ma Guowei?" King Yong asked curiously.

"Ma Guowei is indeed my concubine's elder brother. He usually helps me get money on Jiangnan Road."

Wang Gang said: "My lord can write a letter to Ma Guowei, asking him to offer auspiciousness to the officials. At that time, we will mix the weapons and armor into the team and transport them to the capital."

"Auspiciousness?" King Yong asked puzzled, "What kind of auspiciousness has to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my caravan found a few giraffes overseas, which look like unicorns, and they will go ashore from the south of the Yangtze River and hand them over to Mr. Ma, who will transport them to the capital.

Raising unicorns requires a lot of food and grass, and auspiciousness cannot be missed. It must be escorted by a large army. It is very normal to mix weapons and armor. "

"Could it be that simple?" King Yong dared not answer.

"Of course it's not that simple. After Mr. Ma submits the letter, the lord must find a way to get Zhou Bing, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Army Masi, to escort Xiangrui." Wang Gang explained.

"Zhou Bing, is he not mine?" King Yong asked puzzled.

"It is precisely because Zhou Bing is not a member of the prince that he has the opportunity to be qualified to escort Xiangrui." Wang Gang smiled and took out a piece of paper and handed it to King Yong.

"I've found Zhou Bing's weakness a long time ago, and I'm just waiting for this opportunity."

King Yong took the paper and found that it was the statement of the housekeeper of Zhou Bing's mansion.

According to Zhou Bing's housekeeper, Zhou Bing even met his sister-in-law privately, even poisoned his own brother, and committed unforgivable evil deeds.

King Yong immediately realized that no matter whether the confession was true or not, as long as Zhou Bing's butler killed Zhou Bing's adultery with his brother and sister-in-law, the deputy commander of Wucheng Bingmasi would not follow him.

When the time comes, the soldiers and horses of the five cities will cooperate with the private army in the middle of Shu to take down the capital and the imperial palace in one fell swoop, and the throne will not be at your fingertips.

"I've already brought Steward Zhou Bing under control, and I can hand it over to the prince immediately, but the prince wants to find a secret place to house private troops and weapons in Sichuan." Wang Gang said confidently.

"No problem, I still have two private houses in the capital, which were originally used as outer rooms, and they are just for use." King Yong said.

"I also have two houses in the capital, which are next to the imperial palace, and they can also be dedicated to the prince." Wang Gang clasped his fists and said.

King Yong was overjoyed, grabbed Wang Gang's shoulder and said, "I got Changfeng, just like Han Gaozu got Zhang Liang, and Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang!"

Wang Gang said with a smile: "My lord is absurd, how dare I compare with Cheng Chenghou and Zhuge Prime Minister."

King Yong laughed and said, "You are my lord of integrity. When I sit on the throne in the future, I will make Changfeng a lord, and the position of prime minister will be vacant."

Wang Gang immediately said: "Changfeng, thank you, my lord, no, it should be His Majesty."

With the word "Your Majesty", King Yong never stopped laughing, but unfortunately he didn't see Wang Gang's sinister eyes.
