Wang Zhen bent down and said something to Wang Gou'er's ear. He put down a piece of paper in his hand, and then took two steps back and stood up.
Suddenly, a cold wind gushed in from the cracks in the doors and windows, and the paper fell lightly from the table. Wang Gou'er's expression immediately became nervous. She suddenly stood up from the chair and hurriedly leaned over to pick up the paper.
Then he looked at it and couldn't wait to get the paper close to the lampstand, watching it burned to ashes before moving his eyes away.
But just burning this piece of paper is useless.
Wang Gou'er looked back at Wang Zhen: If any news is leaked in this matter, if I don't kill you, no one else can spare you!
Godfather, my son always follows the leader and will never miss a word.Wang Zhen said hurriedly.
Wang Gou'er seemed a little long-winded today and emphasized again: If I fall, the first emperor will not give up on the person involved in this matter, and the second person who is most likely to return to power is Haitao.Do you think Haitao will let you go?
His son can only be submissive.
Wang Gou'er quickly paced back and forth on the floor several times, feeling that he could not get rid of these tricks to annoy the other party; this time, he threatened his tricks like copying a letter that had just been burned, and it would be useless even if it was destroyed.
After a while, he suddenly asked: Where are those people?
Wang Zhen hurriedly replied: In an inn in the city, they were waiting for their godfather’s reply.
Only by giving in first and compromising to the other party, Wang Gou'er clearly realized this...
However, Wang Gou'er has always had secret contacts with the Jianwen Party members and has sent important news many times; why did Zhang Ning threaten him as Prince Jianwen?
It seems like a waste of time.
After a little thought, he felt that the only explanation was that Zhang Ning and his father, Emperor Jianwen, were separated from each other and were not on the same boat.
Therefore, the inside story of his compromise with Zhang Ning is not only not exposed to the emperor's side, but it is not advisable to let the Jianwen Party know about it.
At this time, Wang Gou'er remembered the news that she was about to reveal to the Jianwen Party recently, about the murder of the prince.
Fortunately, the news was not available yet, otherwise it would be very unfavorable to Zhang Ning and he would soon become a grudge with him.
Wang Gou'er planned to tell Zhang Ning's people about this information first and stabilize the other party as a meeting gift.
……
The important news revealed by Wang Gou'er and Taohua Fairy after meeting were immediately sent to Wuchang by a quick horse.
Because all the followers around the Taohua Fairy were selected by the Provincial Escort, the report was when Yao Ji first arrived, and then when Yao Ji summoned Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning saw the report.
This news was completely beyond his imagination.
When he sent someone to threaten Wang Gou'er, he made a big arrangement for the purpose of expanding his eyes and ears. Unexpectedly, he immediately obtained a crucial piece of information, which was a coincidence.
Unexpectedly, the bureaucrats in the court could conclude that the prince was killed so quickly and arranged a counter-espionage plan... Zhang Ning's face looked a little ugly. If we had not decided to send the Taohua Fairy to Yangzhou before, Wang Gou'er would have secretly communicated with Jianwenjun's people about the prince.Then we must bear the responsibility for this matter and cannot be shirked.
Yao Ji was indeed killed. When she ordered the assassination of the Crown Prince Zhu Wenkui, she thought she did the right thing, but now she felt that Zhang Ning was a little complaining about this, so she blurted out: What will happen if the matter is determined by Jianwenjun?
Zhang Ning almost didn't have to think about it, and immediately said seriously: The consequences are very serious!To further expand our strength, the necessary strategy is to legalize the separatist regime in Huguang; only in this way can it be possible to mobilize the material and manpower on the territory as much as possible and collect taxes and military forces.The Sixteen Prefectures in Huguang are vast (two provinces in later generations, equivalent to two major European kingdoms), with a population of nearly 10 million; however, the number of soldiers and horses in the fourth battalion of the Suzaku Army was only more than 40,000, and military expenditure was still in short supply for a long time. This is the result of our promulgation of a series of military expansion and improving the treatment of soldiers... This is the problem, and the Suzaku Army cannot use the resources in its hands.
When we try to establish a regime that allows our people to bear corresponding obligations, we first need a monarch who is reasonable in terms of great significance. The current choice is only Emperor Jianwen.
At this time, everyone is at ease. Civil war is unpopular. Only by relying on the advantage of force to make people reluctantly accept reality is an essential monarch.
Secondly, we must win over the hearts of the Yu ministers of Jianwen, local gentry, and court bureaucrats, and give them the benefits of sharing power and interests, so that they can effectively control various places.
If the assassination of the prince is exposed, it will be known to Jianwenjun and the world.Jianwenjun lost his most trustworthy eldest son. Is he willing to form an alliance with us?They have two hearts, and there may be some chaos in the future; once Yu Chen below Jianwen makes a little publicity, I will bear the reputation of killing my brother, a person with a bad reputation in such a thing is not supported by the people, and coupled with a civil war that is already unpopular... all the general steps may not be realized, and the prospects will be unimaginable.
He spoke quickly and said a lot of words in his heart. Seeing that Yao Ji's face became less and less beautiful, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a good word: I understand that my mother had other considerations at the time.Now that the matter is over, my son has no intention of accusation. We should think about how to cover up and resolve this matter.
Yao Ji raised her arm, stroked her thin and long sleeves, and pondered: Queen Ma is going to Wuchang in the past two days... I should burn the prince's head stored in the ice cellar just in case.
Zhang Ning immediately agreed: What the mother said was very true. Some things were said in words, but evidence that seeing them was true is one thing. Keeping the head at the top was only a hidden danger without any benefit.In addition, after Empress Ma arrived in Wuchang, you have an explanation that she was found because Zhou Ernie revealed the news; and it was necessary to show that we had no malice.Hatred has been over twenty years, isn't it...
I know what to do.Yao Ji said coldly.Her face suddenly made Zhang Ning feel heartbroken.
Should people become emotionally unemotional after participating in political games?
Care, attachment, disgust, humiliation, and hatred should all be conceded to actual interests, a benefit that can be maximized after calculations one by one?
Just like the marriage and marriage of ancient monarchs, there are also people who really send out the real princess they love, for the benefit of national diplomacy.
The dead-snow look that flashed through Yao Ji in an instant made Zhang Ning seem to feel the resentment she hid deep in her heart.
She is like a rose that has experienced the wind and frost. It is still bright outside but it is full of thorns in her heart.
Zhang Ning's mind was full of clues, like a mess.Many thoughts arise.
One of the clues was that he suddenly remembered a detail. Important information such as the news brought by eunuch Wang Gouer was also known by Yao Ji first.
He racked his efforts to check and balance within the Xiangwang Group, but there were still many loopholes.
This kind of thing is not a matter of trust, but a completely rational inference: if Yao Ji and his group want to seize their power, or even dethrone the power in the future, it would be easy...
There is a certain amount of control inside and outside, and even confidential intelligence agencies like the Escort Province are controlled by her.
Perhaps all of this is inevitable. Zhang Ning's family background was funded by Yao Ji.
He put aside some useless thoughts and calmly said: First of all, send a few more people to do what you can do, bring enough money and establish a stronghold in Yangzhou to facilitate a more reliable way to contact Wang Gou'er.Then we can rely on Wang Gou'er to set up a situation to resolve this crisis.
Anyone you can recommend?Yao Ji's tone was still a little cold.
Zhang Ning thought for a while: I remember that the eunuch has an uncle and nephew named Jiang. By the way, Jiang Youde and Jiang Hai. These two people followed me several times before, doing things safely and being reliable.You can let them go.
Yao Ji said: Then according to your words, I will order Qiu Changshi later that Erjiang will be under her control.
Zhang Ning originally wanted to comfort her a few more words. Hatred and anger have never been beneficial, and it is easy to cause people to lose their due IQ, but they have never experienced Yao Ji's pain personally. What's the use of saying these truths when they talk about them with a whim?
As for other preaching, it was even more exaggerated in front of Yao Ji.
So the two people in the room fell into silence without any preparation.I don’t know if Yao Ji did it on purpose, but she seemed to have nothing to say, but Zhang Ning really didn’t know what to say.
But she had no intention of ending the meeting because she was pouring boiling water into a purple clay pot to make tea.Such an action made Zhang Ning unable to say goodbye, otherwise he would feel a little rude.
He sat on the stool, his fingers unconsciously putting them under his cheeks and rubbing them.
There were still countless threads in my mind, and everything seemed to be entangled.
He picked up the letters shelved on the table and read them carefully.
The handwritten words of Peach Blossom Fairy reminded him not only of Peach Blossom Fairy, but also of Luo Moniang, because it was mentioned in the letter.
My thoughts seemed to gradually open up in countless clues.Zhang Ning couldn't control his thoughts and felt that he had to clear out the clues.
He saw a piano case on the east side, and paper and pen were placed next to the guzheng on the piano case, so he got up and walked over. The paper contained some sloppy piano scores, probably written by Yao Ji before.
At this time, he was not interested in the piano score, but only in the white paper that could be written, so he took the piano score aside.
What are you doing? Yao Ji turned her head and finally spoke.
Zhang Ning said without raising his head: The court is verifying the whereabouts of Prince Wenkui and will spread rumors; and Wang Gou'er can influence the judgment of Jianwenjun and other ministers. We may be able to do something to target the ground to further strengthen Wang Gou's influence on Jianwenjun... The Peach Blossom Fairy mentioned that Yang Shiqi's family was under surveillance, which has caused doubts from the emperor and court officials; by the way, the news revealed by Jianwen last time was suspected of spies in the court, and the eunuch Zheng He was almost in trouble. Is this a matter?Can we connect a line between these things...
Suddenly, a cold wind gushed in from the cracks in the doors and windows, and the paper fell lightly from the table. Wang Gou'er's expression immediately became nervous. She suddenly stood up from the chair and hurriedly leaned over to pick up the paper.
Then he looked at it and couldn't wait to get the paper close to the lampstand, watching it burned to ashes before moving his eyes away.
But just burning this piece of paper is useless.
