The devil is coming

Chapter 649 Behind the scenes!
Sun Youdao didn't know who was standing behind the palace.
Because he left early,
This is the position of Taifu, and it was also the official title that he was forced to cooperate with Zheng Fan last time and regain.
Actually,
After helping his son with logistics matters and dealing with the war between Yan and Chu, Taifu Sun rested again.
He really doesn't want to go out to work anymore, and his heart has long been very tired. What he wants to do now is to spend his last few days with his concubine by his side every day.
Stop and go,
Everyone, calm down.
Zheng Fan knew this very well.
After leaving Yanjing and entering the back garden, Emperor Yan said he wanted to cultivate himself. In fact, no one would really think that Emperor Yan was completely free to cultivate himself.
But although Taifu Sun was in Yingdu, everyone had already understood his thoughts.
Therefore, when Zhao Wenhua and the others were doing something, they did not involve him at all.
But after all, Sun Youdao once served as the prime minister of Dacheng Kingdom, and he and Situ Lei achieved great success together. Some of the acumen of this kind of person are really unimaginable to outsiders.
In the view of the Queen Mother,
Informing the marquis about the mastermind behind the scenes is the best bargaining chip he can provide at this time.
But in Sun Youdao’s view,
This is the real way to die!
What does it mean for that person to dare to use the palace to carry out such a scheme, and also to plot against this prince?
First, people have confidence that things can be done without leakage;
two,
If something slips through the cracks,
He can still have the confidence to ensure that he is safe and sound.
The character of this marquis must be punished, and Sun Youdao knew this in his heart;
In fact, there are only a few saints in this world, and those few are still an imaginary number. For most people, if there is a chance to take revenge, the so-called "not too late in ten years" is just a fig leaf, and they all want to It is true that revenge does not last overnight.
But what if you have to endure it and cannot retaliate at this time?
Some secrets can live if you don't tell them, but you will die if you tell them.
Because telling it will only lead to a bigger secret. When this big secret cannot be solved openly, you must keep it secret. No one can keep secrets better than the dead.
So,
In a hurry,
Sun Youdao even called out the Queen Mother's name,
even,
They didn't even care that it would damage the relationship between the Sun family and the Hou Mansion that they had worked hard to maintain.
As the saying goes,
No one knows his son better than his father, and vice versa.
Sun Ying had already guessed that she would do this to her father.
But Sun Liang,
Still a little late.
The reason for arriving late is that one of Sun Liang's concubines gave birth today.
Therefore, Sun Liang did not go out of his official duties today, but stayed at home and waited. After the child was born, he went to find his father to formally name him, only to learn that his father had been summoned to the palace by someone sent by the Marquis of Pingxi.
can only say,
It is really reasonable for this kind of thing to happen to people who are not talented enough.
Immediately he thought of Sun Liang, whom his elder brother had warned him before. After learning about this incident, he was shocked. At this moment, the joy of the birth of a new life in the family was directly washed away, because it was very likely that the family would be reunited neatly. Go down again.
Sun Liang rode his horse and rushed to the palace.
But the guards outside the palace blocked him. He shouted and tried to get in, but he couldn't.
Fortunately, after Gou Moli led his army into the city at this time, he led Kong Mingde to enter the palace. Firstly, he handed back his waist badge, and secondly, he waited for the next order.
Seeing that Sun Liang was stopped outside without wearing official uniform and his hair was messy, Gou Moli finally took him in with him.
The three of them had just walked to the door of the meeting hall.
Then I heard Sun Youdao's loud shout.
Sun Liang was so frightened that his hands and feet went cold, and he immediately rushed towards the meeting hall.
Gou Moli stretched out his hand to stop Kong Mingde and signaled Kong Mingde to wait outside.
Kong Mingde also understood that there were some things that he could not hear, and hearing them would be a bad thing, so he retreated to the courtyard gate.
And that end,
After Sun Liang rushed in, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lord Pingxi.
Road:
"Master Marquis, Master Marquis, my father is old and weak, and I am afraid of saying inappropriate things. Please forgive me, Master Marquis. Please forgive me, Master Marquis."
Sun Youdao no longer cared about his son's appearance, words and deeds. In fact, after shouting those words, he felt that his blood was stagnant, his chest felt tight, and he fainted on the ground.
And then,
Gou Moli also happened to walk in. He first walked to Sun Youdao to check, then raised his head and shook his head to Mr. Zheng who was sitting there, indicating that he was not dead.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a human pill made by a blind man from his pocket and put it into Sun Youdao's mouth.
Subsequently,
He came to Sun Liang, patted Sun Liang on the shoulder and said:
"Be good, go take care of your dad."
Sun Liang turned around and realized that his father had fainted. Sun Liang immediately crawled over to check on his father. When he saw that his father was still breathing and had a pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief and then started crying. .
Lord Zheng frowned slightly,
Gou Moli stepped forward and shouted:
"Why are you crying? Why don't you help Taifu Sun down to rest!"
Sun Liang wiped his tears and nodded, then looked at Lord Zheng who was sitting there, nodded vigorously, picked up his father, and went down.
In the meeting hall, it finally became quiet again.
The episode ends,
Next,
It’s time to get to the point.
But before that, Zheng Fan still ordered Gou Moli:
"Go and arrange the troops and horses for defense."
"Yes, my lord."
Gou Moli is a three-legged cat in Kung Fu, but no one would think that the former Savage King could not fight or form an army.
In fact, Gou Moli lost to the King of Jingnan on the Wangjiang River not far from this Ying. It was also because Lord Zheng successfully attacked Xuehaiguan for thousands of miles. The King of Jingnan used the elite Jingnan Army to suppress the north. The decisive battle relies on the iron cavalry;
At that time, the Savage King was actually locked up, both strategically and tactically.
Before handing back the waist badge, Gou Moli walked out of the meeting hall again and ordered He Chunlai to go in and wait on him while he took Kong Mingde to arrange the defense of Yingdu.
After He Chunlai came in,
Just standing in the corner, head half bowed, motionless.
Mr. Zheng, on the other hand, leaned forward slightly and looked at the Queen Mother sitting on the ground.
The meaning is very simple,
Go on and on.
The Queen Mother was a little at a loss. She believed in Sun Youdao. Although Sun Youdao resigned in frustration after Yingdu surrendered to Dayan, she was not stupid. She knew who would truly treat her family at the last critical moment. good.
But facing Lord Zheng's gaze, it was difficult for her to resist.
The queen of a country in the past,
At this time, he was forced to this point.
Standing in the corner, He Chunlai didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart, even though he was from Jin.
In fact, like the sword master, he was also watching and thinking about what he should do as a Jin man when his country was ruined and his family was in ruins.
He may not have the deep and thorough understanding of the Sword Master, but at least he saw that the once-high-ranking Jin people and nobles,
For example, the family in front of me,
Looking at their current appearance,
You will feel,
The land of the Three Jin Dynasties was ruled by the Yan people,
It really makes sense.
"Come on."
"Subordinates are here!"
He Chunlai immediately agreed, because he was the only one in the entire meeting hall who was in charge.
Zheng Fan pointed at He Chunlai,
road;
"My subordinates are good at cooking. I think the prince will be hungry tonight, so he will prepare a table of meals. It doesn't have to be complicated, but it should be as refined as possible."
"Yes, my subordinate understands."
He Chunlai breathed a sigh of relief as he was good at cooking.
"Prepare another glass of poisonous wine, and after dinner, we can send our prince on his way."
He Chunlai raised his head suddenly, somewhat doubting that he heard wrongly.
He felt that the so-called king and queen mother of the Jin people were very disgraceful, but did his own prince really treat them like pheasants and kill them on the spur of the moment?
But He Chunlai still bit the tip of his tongue.
road;
"Yes!"
He Chunlai has gone out. The servants of the palace are now being investigated by the secret agent Si Yingdu at the helm of Zhao Yang's real estate. There is no one in the kitchen, but just making a midnight snack can be done by He Chunlai alone.
And inside the meeting hall,
After giving instructions,
Lord Zheng closed his eyes,
He leaned against the throne.
Don't look at people,
not talking,
Let the atmosphere in this meeting hall remain quiet.
in fact,
This quiet atmosphere at this time is the most terrifying and the most painful.
The feeling of waiting to die can drive people crazy;
On the contrary, the kind of joyful shouting "I will still be a good man in 20 years" and then slashing with a knife is the real and enviable joy.
I will not threaten you again,
I have already made up my mind for you,
I refuse to communicate with you,
yourself,
Just figure it out.
This is not some kind of psychological warfare that Marquis Zheng is putting on, but since he has reached this position and stood at this height, he will naturally develop this kind of aura.
As Lord Zheng himself said before,
He had killed two people named Situ;
He also deposed the princes of the Ji family;
When the Qian Kingdom went to the capital, he entered it, he scratched the golden statue in the Imperial Palace of the Jin Kingdom, and the killing of prisoners under the Jade Pan City was his order;
There are too many others.
You, mother and son, think about it for yourselves.
This lord,
Am I trying to scare you?
This quiet atmosphere made Situ Yu the first to lose his temper. It was clear that He Chunlai hadn't come yet, but Situ Yu seemed to have already smelled the fragrance of rice.
He turned his head and looked at his mother.
The Queen Mother was also undergoing a fierce psychological struggle at this time.
at last,
Neither mother nor son could hold on any longer.
The Queen Mother spoke;
"Master Hou......"
Zheng Fan still closed his eyes and did not move.
"He is a nobleman from Yanjing City. He is..."
Zheng Fan remained silent.
The Queen Mother had cried before, and this time, she cried again.
But just like a child, she cried and found that no one paid attention to her, so she gradually stopped crying.
The Queen Mother bit her lip,
Road:
"When the Dacheng Kingdom was established, the late emperor had been exchanging letters with a nobleman in Yanjing;
When Dayan was about to destroy the Helian family, the wild people in the snowy plains made strange movements. The late emperor first informed the nobleman of Yanjing in a letter that he planned to lead his army north to stop the wild people.
then,
The late emperor gathered the elites in the country and went to Xuehaiguan, while the Yan army stood on the front line and stopped advancing eastward. "
Lord Zheng slowly opened his eyes,
He felt very immersed in this narrative.
Because at that time, Lord Zheng was the guard of Shengle City.
At that time, Dayan's iron cavalry was at its peak, and everyone was guessing when they would continue to march eastward, defeat the Situ family in one go, and unify the three Jin areas.
As a result, precisely because of Situ Lei's move of completely leaving the rear to you, the Yan army received a message from above and was not allowed to advance eastwards to provoke.
later,
With the Situ family's expedition to the snowy plains, the war went unfavorably.
Lao Tian led [-] elite Jingnan troops to the north of Shengle City, passed through the Tianduan Mountains, and made an expedition to the snowfields.
That battle was actually to support and echo the Situ family.
At that time, there were rumors that after the Situ family defeated the barbarians, Situ Lei would surrender to the country, submit to Dayan, and become a vassal, that is, a prince within the territory of Dayan.
in fact,
to be honest,
In the past few years, Dayan had fought so many battles in the Jin region, fighting barbarians and Chu people, spending a lot of money and food on the people, and almost emptied the country's power, and finally established the Pingxi Marquis Mansion in the east of Jin;
to be honest,
It is to repair the hole that Situ Lei broke in the first place.
According to Emperor Yan’s idea,
Situ Lei's Situ family remains loyal to Dayan and sits in the east of Shanxi. It can help Dayan resist the threats from the Xueyuan and the Chu people, while Dayan can calmly gather troops and go south to attack Qian!
can only say,
Time is also fate,
Marquis Zheng, who had just won a battle with Lao Tian, ​​found it difficult to understand when he learned that Xuehaiguan had been breached.
Situ Lei has made wonderful counterattacks throughout his life, but there is only one stain that cannot be erased;
No matter how much you blame it on the rebels or brothers Situ Yi and Situ Jiong, your failure to hold the Snow Customs is your biggest failure.
To a certain extent, Emperor Yan should have had extra years and extra national power to calmly and calmly arrange to deal with the big fat country of Qian, but it was abruptly delayed.
This delay
It is the time of heaven, destiny and longevity, no one can wait for you.
"The late Emperor has always maintained contact with that nobleman from Yanjing..."
Lord Zheng has been listening to the Queen Mother's words.
He did not take it for granted that the noble man was referring to Emperor Yan.
how to say,
Situ Lei, even at his peak, was not qualified to bargain with Emperor Yan on an equal footing.
listen listen
Zheng Fan felt a familiar feeling in his trance.
He thought of someone,
Not from Yanjing,
But a person next to him... a blind man.
Because usually, the blind man handles the letter and handles the following matters for him, and after finishing the processing, the blind man will only give himself a brief report.
That noble man,
His position beside Emperor Yan was like that of a blind man beside him.
"Before the death of the late emperor, he wrote a letter to that nobleman personally, instructing him on the matter of leaving an orphan. After the death of the late emperor, for a long time, there was no more letter from that noble man.
until,
A few months ago,
The letter from the nobleman from Yanjing has arrived again.
The Ai family had seen that the late emperor always replied to that person in his own handwriting, and that person's reply must have been written in his own handwriting.
this matter,
Aijia knows,
Zhao Wenhua was often with the late emperor, and he only knows more than the Ai family..."
The Queen Mother suddenly stopped.
Why didn't Zhao Wenhua mention this before until he was dragged down?
As she said before, Zhao Wenhua only knows more about this matter than she, a harem woman, does.
But Zhao Wenhua didn’t say,
The Queen Mother never doubted Zhao Wenhua's loyalty to the palace. He didn't say it because he thought that if he did, it would harm the palace even more!
The old eunuch Zhao Wenhua didn’t say anything.
Sun Youdao also shouted to himself not to say anything before he fainted,
But myself,
But I have already said,
For a time,
The Queen Mother's body began to tremble, and a kind of late-conscious terror began to invade her body and mind.
She remembered what her husband said to her when he was still alive:
When the age of great strife comes, the dust of the past grass will rise out of the sea and transform into a dragon; the princes, generals, sons and grandsons of the past may be knocked down to dust;
The Queen Mother looked at Ping Xihou sitting there,
Looking at his son again,
She had already realized the profound meaning of her husband's words.
"who is he."
Zheng Fan asked.
Although, Zheng Fan knew that the Queen Mother actually didn't know either, otherwise, she wouldn't be so stupid as to betray him at this time.
Is it difficult,
Still want to bargain?
This Queen Mother is indeed not comparable to the princess of the Marquis Mansion, nor to the charming and naive princess on her own Kang. She lacks political decision-making and vision.
But she is not stupid. Zhao Wenhua threatened herself that not treating the palace well would make the people of Jin feel cold, but the queen mother was playing the emotional card from beginning to end.
Seemingly useless, seemingly ridiculous,
But it is the most practical move.
She may not have much ability or foresight, but she understands that imitating Zhao Wenhua and using Jin people to threaten them will only make the Yan people want to wipe out the palace even more strongly.
Therefore,
She's not trying to sell things.
"Ai Jia, I don't know, the late emperor never said who he was, but the letters that were exchanged are all placed in the Yushu Pavilion, no, it is now called the Cangshu Pavilion.
Mr. Hou, you can check your notes and find out the writing style. Maybe you will find something. "
Lord Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, smiled at this moment.
this laugh,
Mother and son, who were kneeling on the ground, were a little confused.
Lord Zheng raised his hand,
Road:
"The library, where is it?"
"Northwest." Situ Yu answered quickly.
Lord Zheng nodded,
Road:
"According to the development of the plot, it should be on fire now."
"Report!!!!!!"
At this time,
A personal guard rushed to enter, knelt down and reported:
"Master Marquis, there is a water leak in the attic in the northwest corner of the palace, and the fire is very strong, but because of the pond, it should not be affected here!"
"Tsk."
Lord Zheng nodded,
He waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Situ Yu immediately shouted: "Master Hou, I didn't set this fire, I didn't set it, you have to believe me."
Lord Zheng nodded,
Road:
"I believe this, but you don't have the brains."
"..." Situ Yu.
Lord Zheng leaned back slightly.
Cross your hands,
Place on the lower abdomen;
It wasn’t Xiao Liuzi. At that time, Xiao Liuzi was probably still working as a head catcher in Nan’an County;
Do not,
To be precise,
It won't be the prince's.
With Situ Lei's arrogance, he would not exchange letters with the prince of Yan Kingdom, his junior.
Not a prince,
But he is also the most trusted person around Emperor Yan, similar to the blind man's role around him;
letter,
If it burns, just burn it.
because,
candidates,
Just those few.
