Many things seem to be extremely difficult, but in fact it is often just that the people involved are unwilling to bear the cost. However, after taking a step, the cost is inevitable, and the space for operation will become larger.
For example, Li Zhi and others were previously struggling with how to reply to Hou Mochen Chong. Now they can fabricate a conspiracy, saying that Duguxin intends to kidnap the king and then murder Hou Mochen Chong, thus opening up the Shannan Dao army to enter the Guanzhong area.
The passage allows his son-in-law to cooperate with both internal and external parties unhindered and control the court affairs.
In this way, no matter how the war is going on the front line, or whether Otsuka Zai's life is in danger, it will directly cut off the possibility of cooperation between Hou Mo, Chen Chong and Shannan Road.
After all, no matter how arrogant Hou Mo Chen Chong is, he will never cooperate with someone who wants to murder him. Moreover, Dugu Xin is already dead with no evidence to prove it. Even if Hou Mo Chen Chong doesn't believe it, he will never dare to risk his own life.
As for Zhao Gui, because he was deeply trapped in the Wanshou Palace, he was already in a dilemma and was in a worrying situation. Unlike Duguxin, he also had a strong foreign aid like Li Boshan. No matter how the situation develops, it seems to be a bit difficult for him.
Not good.
But now with Yu Wenjue's crazy behavior, he was forced to make a choice. It seemed that Zhao Gui had no choice, but in fact it also rescued him from the embarrassing situation before, at least for the moment, he was able to make a choice again.
Now that I have a certain say, I can no longer passively wait for the situation to develop and the final verdict as before.
After the two sides reached cooperation, Zhao Gui was no longer detained in the Longevity Palace, but returned to Tongzhou City with the team. In order to facilitate nearby communication, he temporarily moved into a residence arranged for him by the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office.
Yu Wenjue, Li Zhi and others were eager to unify their caliber, so they tied the other members into the chariot, and after settling Zhao Gui, they hurried back to the Sino-foreign Mansion. Zhao Gui, taking advantage of the relaxation of the relationship between the two parties, requested
He left his son Zhao Yongren behind.
"Aye, I was wrong! I didn't intend to deceive before..."
After everyone else left, Zhao Yongren saw his father's gloomy and unkind expression. He immediately panicked and knelt down on the ground again, kowtow and beg for mercy.
Zhao Gui's mood was complicated and heavy at the moment, but he had no intention of caring about the deception he suffered before. His eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about the former for now. From now on, you must keep in mind what I will say next.
, For the sake of your future and wealth, and for the safety of everyone in your family, remember this!"
Seeing that his father no longer pursued his past mistakes, Zhao Yongren felt relieved at first, and then nodded again and again: "Aye, please tell me, I will definitely keep it in mind!"
"Gong Lueyang is a young man who is impatient and does not understand the overall situation. It is simply a dream to compete with Li Boshan. The former burned the building and ruined not only the life of the Grand Sima, but also the kindness of the previous Prime Minister Otsuka to Li Boshan. Li
Zhi and other ill-informed villains force me to share the same hatred, and I cannot resist. I can only advise them to be more active and involve more people."
After Zhao Gui said this, he took a deep breath, paused briefly, and continued: "But no matter how many people are involved, I am afraid it will not be able to prevent Li Boshan's troops from entering the pass. There will be a liquidation by then. Li Boshan's power is so strong
, no one in the DPRK can match it, only the Chinese and foreign governments can still resist a little.
Duke Lueyang and others are in control of the government. Whatever they have done recently, they will be the first to be blamed in the future. If my father and son want to reduce their culpability, they must convict Duke Lueyang and others before the Shannan Taoist Brigade enters the pass. And before Li Boshan enters,
Before taking charge of the court, the Chinese and Foreign Mansion must not be without its owner. You temporarily lie down beside it, carefully observe where Ningdu is imprisoned, and when the time is right, rob Ningdu and support him..."
Zhao Gui retreated from the front line. He had a relatively pessimistic view on the future of the Chuwaifu. He believed that without Otsuka Zai, the Chuwaifu would suffer a new defeat of the army and it would be difficult to stop Li Boshan from taking power.
Now that something like this happened in the country, it gave Li Boshan ample reasons and great opportunities. Once he came to Guanzhong, he would of course want to avenge Duguxin personally. Yuwenjue and his close followers, including Zhao Yongren,
I am afraid that they will not be able to escape revenge, and in official matters they will also have to blame the original decision-making system of the Chinese and Foreign Governments, thus establishing their new authority.
Zhao Gui's eldest son was already dead. If possible, of course, he still wanted to save his second son. The best way to reduce his son's guilt was to control Li Boshan's real enemy before he exacted revenge.
Previously, after Zhao Gui completed his signature, he suggested that Yu Wenjue force others to sign too. In addition to sharing his own guilt, it was also to allow Yu Wenjue to gather public resentment. Once the situation becomes clearer, those who signed
They also all have demands and ideas to reduce their own culpability, and these people are Zhao Gui's potential helpers, who can control Yu Wenjue, Li Zhi and others at the appropriate time.
As for Yu Wenyu replacing Yu Wenjue as the temporary leader of the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office, it was out of consideration for the overall situation.
After Li Boshan entered the customs, he would definitely have to carry out a series of liquidations, and the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office, as the original hegemonic agency, would naturally bear the brunt. If the Chinese Foreign Affairs Office did not even have a specific person in charge, how could Li Boshan vent his anger and attack to establish his authority? By then, he should have
The blame that falls on the Chinese and Foreign Governments will probably fall on them, the Zhuguo.
Yu Wenyu and Li Boshan have a brother-in-law relationship, and the transfer of power between the two parties can be smoother. If the main person in charge of the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office is not severely punished, Li Boshan will have no reason to hold others accountable, and the people involved will also
Can get a lenient treatment.
Of course, if the situation were to reverse again and Li Boshan failed to take advantage of the situation to enter Guanzhong and take power, the pattern of internal and external divisions of power was maintained. Yu Wenjue's violence and uncontrollability were also undoubtedly revealed. He who supported Yu Wenyu to succeed him had to deal with Zhao Gui and others.
Speaking is also a good way to increase your own power.
There were so many considerations involved that it was difficult for Zhao Gui to explain them all to his son at the same time. At the moment, he still did not have complete freedom and could only tell his son what he should do over and over again.
In addition to continuing to deceive Yu Wenjue's trust and waiting for an opportunity to seize Yu Wenyu, Zhao Gui also told his son to do more indoor activities with his wives and concubines when he had time to try to sow more seeds.
Not to mention Zhao Gui's advice to his son, after returning to the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office, Yu Wenjue was still in a very excited state. He was about to summon the people in the mansion to announce that Dugu Xin had been executed, and ordered
The crowd signed their names to testify against Dugu Xin on various charges, but Li Zhi spoke up to stop them.
"What? Si Lu still has objections to this execution?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenjue rolled his eyelids and said with an unhappy expression.
Now Li Zhi no longer dared to regard Yu Wenjue as an ignorant young man who had nothing to do. After hearing this, he quickly shook his head and said: "I just feel that it is not appropriate to make this matter public for the time being. Although Duke Lueyang is very talented, his qualifications are still low.
Although the low-ranking officials were kept in charge, they were not popular choices. If they rashly create such a big event, it would be difficult to overwhelm the public sentiment. There are many people with mixed desires, and it would be difficult to control them.
The most important thing at the moment is the power of the armored soldiers. I only need a few generals who can unite the army and share my desires. The rest of the people, whether they know it or not, will not be able to do anything important. Especially the generals of the armed guards, who are already relatives of the father-in-law and son-in-law.
The humerus is used, if all these members can attack with one voice, the situation will be stabilized!"
After Yu Wenjue heard this, he frowned and thought for a while. As the excitement in his heart gradually subsided, he could not help but feel some fear. After pondering for a while, he nodded again and said: "What Si Lu said is also safe.
There are so many idle people in the government that it is difficult to plan big things, so there is no need to know everything. The eldest uncle and I are not of the same mind, and it is true that not all of his suggestions can be adopted."
Although Yu Wenjue accepted his opinion, Li Zhi still looked worried and hesitated several times. After seeing this, Yu Wenjue said again: "Si Lu has other plans, but there is no harm in talking about it!"
"What I say in a humble position may violate my duty as a minister, but I cannot say it without speaking out. Especially because it is part of Lueyang Gong's plan, more attention should be paid to this matter!"
Li Zhi thought for a while and then said in a deep voice: "The execution of Grand Sima by Duke Lueyang now only deepens the feud with Shannan, but it does not damage his power at all. The people in the mansion may be of the same mind, or they may have different aspirations, but it is unpredictable. Especially before the Lord leaves.
For those who have not yet established an heir, Duke Ningdu and Duke Lueyang are always a big threat!"
Nowadays, Li Zhi no longer expects to be able to break away from Yu Wenjue. They are too entangled with each other, and Dugu Xin was planned to be trapped by him before. Once Li Boshan launches revenge, he will definitely not be able to escape, so there is only one way.
When things get dark, to protect Yu Wenjue is to protect yourself.
Yu Wenjue immediately frowned after hearing this. The relationship between him and his brother Yu Wenyu was not deep in the first place, and now they are even more hostile. After ordering Dugu Xin to be burned to death, the cruelty in his character became more and more obvious.
, then he said bitterly: "I can decisively eliminate the great traitor of the country, let alone a mere domestic thief! Si Lu, go quickly and kill him for me!"
After receiving the order, Li Zhi no longer hesitated. When he led several cronies to the hall where Yu Wenyu was under house arrest, he directly offered poisoned wine and said: "Da Sima rebelled against the country and wanted to kidnap you to escape and colluded with Shannan."
In order to counterbalance the Chinese and foreign governments, they have been put to death. According to the accusations of the criminals, Duke Ningdu is also involved in it. Duke Lueyang does not want his family to be scandalized, so he sent a low-level official here to give Duke Ningdu poisonous wine. Please don't resist, Duke Ningdu!"
When Yu Wenyu heard this, he was shocked. He pointed at Li Zhi and shouted angrily: "How dare Si Lu and others dare to be so vicious if you want to accuse Li Zhi! I am not guilty, please come and ask the question!"
Li Zhi ignored Yu Wenyu's arguments and accusations, and immediately waved his hand to signal to his cronies to come forward and control Yu Wenyu. He personally poured poisonous wine into his throat.
