Chapter 40 The hand holding chess
"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with your condolences for Yang Yuan?"

"Yang Yuan died unfortunately because of this incident." Ji Pu said.

"It looks like it's impossible to hit with eight poles."

Ji Pu explained, "That's true. But..."

He approached the chessboard, tidied it up, and replaced a few chess pieces.

"This is Lord Liang. This is General Han."

"Master Liang is an old minister of Nanyan, and he only recognized the new master later."

"General Han is also an old minister of Nanyan and a colleague of Lord Liang."

"General Han quickly defected to the Dachu people after the Nanyan royal family fled. Although Liang Ziying had no choice but to protect Liangzhu, he followed General Han and defected to the Dachu people and became a minister of the Chu people."

"However, Liang Ziying has had conflicts with General Han for a long time. This gift from your majesty can be regarded as boosting Liang Ziying's power, opening a window for him in the court, and proving that he is someone your majesty can use."

"This is our Majesty." He lowered the flag gently, as if this was the only one worth cherishing.

"Now that Master Wen is gone, North Korea, China and South Korea are dominated by the generals. Your Majesty does not want to be a chess piece. How should you cut off the puppet master's line?"

"Find someone else who can fight General Han."

Ji Pudao was right, "Your Majesty found Liang Ziying and told them that dog eats dog."

"Liang Ziying is on good terms with General Han on the surface, but in fact he doesn't want to be subordinate to others for a long time. He can only ask for your Majesty's help."

"As for General Han, what do you think he will do?"

"Put out this fire and let His Majesty know that Liang Ziying is no match for him," Gou Yue said.

"Of course it is. In less than half a month, someone saw the white deer coming to the world at the Nanshan hunting ground. He said it was a sign of auspiciousness. Your Majesty immediately set off to go there, saying that he wanted to offer sacrifices to the mountain and pray for a good harvest."

Gou Yue was uneasy, "Something happened?"

"An assassin ambushed him. His archery skills were superb, and he actually shot off His Majesty's Crown of Heaven. Fortunately, Yang Yuan was on guard and captured the assassin on the spot."

Wen Yuanzhi smiled coldly and asked Gou Yue, "Where do you think the assassin came from?"

"How do I know, I wasn't there?"

Ji Pu said, "Think about it carefully."

"Oh, I understand, it's General Han's. The assassin must have said that he was Liang Ziying's man. He found an excuse to say that His Majesty treated Liang Ziying harshly. He was dissatisfied and led trouble to Liang Ziying, right?"

Ji Pu high-fived her and said, "That's true. The assassin said he was Liang Ziying's man."

Gou Yue said, "Your Majesty must be able to figure out everything here. Did he believe what the assassin said?"

"Believe it or not, he said he wanted to interrogate the assassin, but before he could be tried, he committed suicide. Now he died without any evidence. Even if His Majesty wanted to overturn the case for Lord Liang, it would be difficult for him to resist the public. His Majesty has not yet been convicted, and it didn't take long for Liang to be convicted. Your Excellency then wrote an imperial edict to commit suicide and committed suicide in prison. Before his death, he said, "If you want your minister to die, I have no choice but to die." Ji Pu said helplessly.

Gou Yue felt regretful and hurriedly asked, "What happened after Mr. Liang's death? Didn't Yang Yuan play a role in rescuing him? How could something happen?"

He told her not to worry, "There is a pass on the border between Ruozhi and Dachu, called Juyong Pass. Liangzi Ying's second son, Liang Baochen, has taken over from his predecessor to guard Dachu since... since the previous general who guarded the pass left. At this pass, we have 7000 troops in our hands."

Gou Yue was surprised, "Is it possible that when the news comes, he wants to rebel?"

He shook his head again after a moment, "The emperor shouldn't be so simple to implicate the whole family, right? Even if Liang Ziying is convicted, his descendants have no evidence to prove that they are related to this matter, right?"

Ji Pu said, "Of course your Majesty will not implicate others. He knows that Mr. Liang has been framed, but he has no way to show favoritism at the moment. However, he is worried that he will feel aggrieved because of his father's conviction, so he is preparing to confiscate his military power to avoid border chaos and to protect the country. The ministers did not use the military power to embarrass the Liang family. Yang Yuan knew His Majesty's thoughts and the grievances Liang Ziying had. He really couldn't sit idly by and ignored it, so he took the initiative to ask for help and decided to take the news to Juyongguan and invite Liangbao ministers back. "

He clenched his hands into fists and was furious, "But I don't know who reported the disaster in Liangzhu to General Liang. When he found out that his father was dead, he was filled with grief and anger. He also believed the slander and mistakenly thought that your majesty was sending envoys to transfer soldiers and horses near Yongguan. Catch him."

The more Gou Yue listened, the sadder she became, "So... Yang Yuan..."

"That's right, when he first arrived at Juyong Pass, Liang Baochen led a team of troops and strangled the entire team of only a few hundred people, and even showed Yang Yuan's head to the public."

The situation in the court was so complicated that it affected the whole body. None of the civil servants and generals of these aristocratic families was easy to deal with. Gou Yue couldn't help but wonder how Wen Yuanzhi managed to gain a foothold in the court in the past.

"The Liang family rebelled. This time, the charges must have been proven. Even if Mr. Liang is innocent, Mr. Liangbao is not innocent, this idiot." Gou Yue said.

"The eldest son Liangzi Ying knelt down and begged Your Majesty for three whole hours outside the palace. He wanted to clean up this treacherous son for his father and bring his head back to Liangzhu for restoration. He only asked Your Majesty to spare the life of the Liang family, both young and old."

Gou Yue said, "Has your Majesty agreed?"

"If he had not agreed, the Liang family would have wiped out the nine clans by now. Liang Qingchen indeed went to Juyongguan, personally beheaded his brother, put down the rebels, and finally brought his brother's head back to Liangzhu to apologize."

Liangbao Chen is a foolish minister, but in the eyes of his elder brother, he is the younger brother he has grown up with since childhood. The brotherhood has reached such an extent that he has to go to war with each other and fight to the death.There was so much sadness in it that Gou Yue could only sigh.

At night, she still sighed.

I hate General Han so much.

Seeing her frown, Wen Yuanzhi persuaded her, "I'm gone, why bother thinking about it?" She was very unhappy, "But if it hadn't been for that General Han's frame-up, we wouldn't have reached this point at all, and the good little general wouldn't have He won’t rebel and want to avenge his father.”

Wen Yuanzhi opened his mouth and closed it again.

"Tell me, why do they have to set traps for each other and fight for a winner? The court is not like a river and lake, fighting, killing, and intrigues. Doesn't the emperor get annoyed?"

Seeing Wen Yuanzhi folding his clothes behind his back, she walked up to him and said, "By the way, why don't you call General Han by his first name? Don't you mean that he is Liang Ziying's colleague?"

The autumn wind blows outside the window.

He listened to the autumn wind pouring into the papered windows, making a roaring sound, and after a while he said, "He is my teacher."

Gou Yue froze on the spot.

No wonder even Ji Pu respected him as General Han.

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Like a father and a teacher, everything I am good at is taught by him personally. When I was a child, he used to hold me on his lap and learn to write and draw pictures."

Gou Yue couldn't bear to slander this man any more.

"Ok."

Wen Yuanzhi sat next to her and finally asked, "Do you believe everything Ji Pu said?"

She didn't say yes or no, "At least that's what he saw and heard."

"If one person sees and hears it with one eye and one ear, does it have to be true?"

Gou Yue heard his voice, "Are you trying to say that this is not the case?"

He nodded, "Do you still remember how this started?"

"The Ruozhi people pay tribute."

"No, the beginning of trouble."

"Your Majesty will you give me a tribute, Lord Liang?"

"Why did he do this?" He asked her to think deeply.

"To bring peace to the imperial court?"

She frowned deeply, "Actually, the chess player in this game is His Majesty."

"you understood?"

"But the person who put the blame on Liang Ziying is General Han, isn't he?"

He just looked at her without saying a word.

"Is it...your majesty?"

"The methods are crude. If the teacher wanted to get rid of Liang Ziying with his own hands, he would use a hundred times more superior methods."

"Why does Your Majesty do this?"

"Why do you think it is?" He didn't tell her directly.

She said she didn’t know, “It’s too difficult.”

"Think about it again. What is the result? Use the result to deduce the intention."

It was Liang Ziying who apologized for his crime, and Liang Qingchen cut off his brother's head to protect the whole family.

"The good family will definitely be at odds with the Han family from now on." A drop of cold sweat ran down her back.

This is the result the emperor wants.

Regardless of whether Liang Ziying, Liang Baochen, or Yang Yuan died, His Majesty's goal has been achieved.

"I don't understand why you don't tell Ji Pu this truth. He looks up to His Majesty as he looks up to a mountain, and he has already established a loyal belief in his heart," she said.

Wen Yuanzhi whispered, "Anyone can look up to him, but you can't."

Gou Yue said, "What did you just say?"

"It's late at night, I said we should take a rest." He went up to kiss her, suppressing all the unspeakable pain in this desperate kiss.
