To be honest, Zhang Chengze doesn’t believe An Huajin’s words.
But when he saw An Hua's brows and eyes were light, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of falsehood hidden in his eyes, he felt a little unsure.
Does Nanyang really have an arsenal?
He looked at An Huajin and raised his eyebrows, "Even if I believe what Princess An said, so what? With well-armed weapons, Princess An will guarantee that you can defeat Nanyang's millions of soldiers and horses for many years to enrich the country and strengthen the army.
Nan Qi and Nan Liang making preparations?"
"Even if we can't defeat you, why should I cooperate with you, Mr. Zhang? I have at least one million Nanyang troops. What about you, Mr. Zhang? Apart from being a descendant of the Nanliang clan, what else do you have? You returned to Nanliang,
Recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan means just recognizing your identity. Do you have military power?" An Huajin asked.
"Military power will naturally come with it. Once the war starts, I will be sure that I will get the military power of Nanliang. This little princess can rest assured." Zhang Chengze spoke very confidently.
An Huajin nodded and asked again, "But, I also said that I don't want to be a queen. Mr. Zhang has no reason for me to cooperate with you."
Zhang Chengze looked at her, "So, what is the reason for the little princess to cooperate with me? The little princess might as well tell me and let me listen to see if I can do it."
An Huajin said lazily, "At present, in my opinion, Mr. Zhang cannot give me a reason to cooperate."
"Oh?" Zhang Chengze narrowed his eyes, "The little princess looks like she doesn't want to cooperate. Why do you have to go all the way to come here?"
An Huajin picked up the wine cup, shook it, and said casually, "We have cleared away the hidden stakes in Nan Qi and Nan Liang. Shouldn't I come and tell you in person?"
Zhang Chengze choked.
An Huajin drank wine carelessly and continued, "Master Zhang's ambitions are too great. I'm afraid I'm not the same person as you."
"Princess An is too arbitrary. How many embarrassments and grievances have you suffered during the 150 years of your An family's allegiance to Da Chu? Aren't you resentful, Princess An? There was also the battle at Yuxueling half a year ago. Do you know your father and brother?
How did he die in battle and be buried on the battlefield? Doesn’t Princess An just want revenge?”
An Huajin put down his wine cup and said, "Master Zhang, why don't you tell me, my father and brother died in the battle of Yuxueling. Is there any inside story? I really don't know. If you really come up with a reason for me to hate someone,
Maybe I can think about it."
Zhang Chengze looked at An Huajin's face and suddenly stopped being anxious. He relaxed his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Princess An, this is the purpose of your appointment with me today, right? If I hadn't been moved by what I said in the letter,
Without you, you wouldn’t come here, am I right?”
Anhuajin nodded and admitted happily, "Of course!"
She had to admit that Zhang Chengze was smart and worthy of being the direct grandson trained by Zhang Zaifu. She went around in circles, but he was still smart enough to detect and expose him. In this case, let's get straight to the point.
"Eight years ago, during the Battle of Yuxueling, Your Majesty found my grandfather and asked him if there was any way to prevent your father and your eldest brother from dying on the battlefield." Zhang Chengze was surprised when he saw An Huajin admit it readily.
He planned to hold off, but now he simply said happily, "You know, before the battle of Yuxueling, Southern Qi, Nanliang and Da Chu had fought two battles. However, Da Chu had a slight victory in both battles.
His Majesty was not very happy when he received the news of the victory of the Nanyang Army, because the greater the victory of the Nanyang Army, the greater the military might of the Nanyang Army, and the greater the prestige of the King of Nanyang. For His Majesty, it is conceivable that he should not be able to sleep.
I feel sleepy. Especially since the An family may not have many descendants, your father and brother are both civil and military. If one day you rebel and point your troops directly at the sky, and respond to hundreds of calls, what else will your majesty have to secure the country of Chu? So, he found my grandfather.
, I hope there is a way to kill both your father and brother. As for my grandfather, you know that his identity is the prince of Nanliang. If your majesty finds him, it will naturally suit his wishes. Even if your majesty doesn't find him, he still wants it.
He was trying to find a way to kill your father and brother, not to mention that His Majesty came to him personally, so he naturally agreed."
An Huajin listened expressionlessly.
"What? You don't believe it?" Zhang Chengze shrugged, "If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it. Anyway, His Majesty doesn't have any secret information left behind. He just had a secret conversation with my grandfather and said a few words.
The two of us hit it off immediately after talking about it. If my grandfather hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it."
"You said His Majesty wanted two of my father and brother to die. Why did the last three of them die? What was your grandfather's handiwork? What method did he come up with?" An Huajin asked.
"Of course, Your Majesty said to kill your father and your eldest brother, but as for my grandfather, due to his status, he naturally does not want your father and brother to be alive. It is best to kill your grandfather together and settle down the family.
It would be best if they are all dead. Wouldn't the Nanyang army be in chaos? Wouldn't Nanliang and Nanqi take the opportunity to raise troops and march straight into Chu to occupy Chu?" Zhang Chengze said, "As for the method, that's simple. The most trusted people around your father and brother.
bribe the veteran generals, exchange letters with Nan Qi and Nan Liang, bury all the troops in Yuxueling, and kill your father and brother at all costs. Although the process is more difficult, all the powerful medicines will be used.
Together, we can do it."
An Huajin pursed his lips, "The trusted people around my father and brother are all loyal."
Zhang Chengze laughed loudly, "Princess An, you are too naive. There is no absolute loyalty, only relative loyalty. Once their family members and descendants are threatened and their lives are endangered, they will make disloyalty after weighing it."
It doesn’t matter if you choose it willingly or you have no choice but to do it, as long as the goal is achieved, that’s fine.”
"Empty words." An Huajin said calmly.
Zhang Chengze thought for a while and said, "My grandfather did not expect that in the battle of Yuxueling, he made complete preparations, but he failed to cause Dachu to be defeated. Instead, he won miserably. Although your father and brother were buried in the battlefield,
But Nan Qi and Nan Liang also suffered heavy losses, especially because your grandfather is still alive. The veterans who followed your father and brother may have changed their minds before the battle or something, but in short, they became loyal and fought hard.
In the end, they all died together in Yuxueling. Now there is no evidence of death, but it is not that there are no living people to confirm the authenticity of this matter."
"Who?"
"The family that your brother is engaged to be married to is named Xu, right? You should know about Xu Jing. If you don't believe what I said is true, you can ask him. He and your father are friends with each other, so they must
He has children and in-laws. Is he still alive?"
An Huajin's pupils shrank, "Of course I know him, he was my eldest brother's future father-in-law. Your grandfather asked him? Did he agree?"
Zhang Chengze smiled, "Of course, you may not know a hidden secret. He likes your mother. This person can be said to be a hypocrite. He is friends with your father openly, but secretly hates and is jealous of him. My grandfather doesn't know where he came from.
After getting this secret, he sent someone to find him. It is said that he struggled for a long time, but in the end he couldn't bear the temptation. If your grandfather died, he might be able to get your mother? So, he took action, and your father
With the help of this prospective in-law, my grandfather has become even more powerful, making it much easier to do this. Little Princess An, you can’t believe it? I heard that you still visit him every year?”
An Huajin remained silent.
Zhang Chengze said, "It's just a pity that your mother had a deep love for your father. After the Battle of Yuxueling, the bones of her husband's two sons were buried in the battlefield. Your mother was deeply affected and couldn't afford to fall ill. In less than half a year,
When he passed away, his efforts were all in vain, and he almost went crazy. Everyone said that Xu Jing mourned the death of his brother and almost didn't survive a serious illness, but only my grandfather knew what he really did."
Zhang Chengze sneered, "Betraying my brother only to end up killing my beloved woman and my daughter. He deserves it for being on the sickbed for so long in the past eight years."
An Huajin has been silent.
Xu Jing, Xu Qingling's father, his father's eight-year-old acquaintance, and his eldest brother's prospective father-in-law, he vaguely knew that he liked his mother, but he didn't know that the battle of Yuxueling had his handiwork in it.
If it was him who was bribed by Zhang Zaifu, then it would not be so strange that the bones of his father and brother were buried in the battlefield.
She believed what Zhang Chengze said, and just because she believed it, she couldn't accept the truth for a while.
"If Princess An doesn't believe what I said, you can ask him." Zhang Chengze said, "If he refuses to admit it, Princess An must have her own way to make him admit it. But I guess, after carrying eight years of secrets and
He must have had enough of the reproach of conscience. If you asked him, he might reveal the truth. He would definitely know more details than I do. I only got a rough idea from my grandfather."
An Huajin nodded and then spoke in a calm tone, "Of course I will ask him."
Zhang Chengze looked at him with admiration, "As expected of Princess An, she can still be so calm after hearing such a big event, so can we talk about cooperation now?"
