Chapter 201 The pit has been dug and jumped, let's all jump!
Zhu Jixi did not hesitate for too long on whether to kill himself or his father-in-law. When his stepmother and aunt reappeared in front of him with a moist face, he had already completed the letter of help to his father-in-law, but for
His stepmother and aunt were not satisfied with its content...
Not sincere enough.
Asking for help must be sincere.
It was necessary to show the special relationship between their father-in-law and his son-in-law, which could be said to live and die together.
This is the attitude of sincerely asking for help.
This is easy to handle.
change!
Change it until she thinks it's sincere enough.
In the end, this request for help looked more like a secret political alliance between the father-in-law and the father-in-law.
Anyone with a little bit of savvy will understand after reading this that a commander in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops and a vassal king in charge of a province have formed an alliance to advance and retreat together. Although this is actually inevitable, it is written in black and white.
It's different. The King of Zhou has been in exile for more than two years after he only met his father-in-law in private. Now your son-in-law has made such a secret agreement behind the emperor's back? As long as the princess or the future princess reports it in person, then Zhu Jixi will have no choice but to be punished.
The result of being deposed and then imprisoned until death is the same as the result of Fu Youde's house being confiscated.
Of course, the princess will not report it.
Even if he is not his biological son, he is his sister's son, and he is actually just like his biological son.
The princess is afraid that she loves and protects him not enough!
But if he is unfilial and disobedient, it will be hard to say what will happen to the princess when she is sad.
So how can he be considered filial?
Be obedient!
He would do whatever the princess asked him to do.
"Okay, he's solved it, now it's time for the next one!"
Yang Feng looked at the secret letter in his hand with satisfaction.
Of course, this secret letter would not be sent out, but would have to be kept in the hands of the Princess in the future. The Princess understood how it was possible for Da Yi to make such a principled mistake. She found that Zhu Jixi had made such a mistake, but a woman could not stop him, so she had to pretend.
Delivered the letter and then left it privately.
The princess is really well-intentioned!
As for Fu Youde...
That's Zhu Yuanzhang's business.
He wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and use Yang Feng's hand to kill Fu Youde.
Of course he sent people here.
"Next one? Do you have another one to trick?"
Princess Jin said.
"Who arranged it for Wei Shan?
The acting was good. He was afraid that Fenzhou soldiers would block Lengquan Pass, so he deliberately led his troops to enter first, and then used those trance-like operations to cause a rout and clear the way for me first. Although he is indeed a very incompetent Xun Er.
It’s a generation, but it’s obviously not normal to have such a brain twitch.”
Yang Feng said.
Wei Shanna did it on purpose.
The Queshu Valley Passage is the only place that can stop Yang Feng.
Even if he couldn't stop him, he could still block the people who followed him. After all, there was only one river valley, and thousands of people occupied Lengquan Pass. Unless he killed them all personally, as long as they resisted, the people behind him would not be able to go north. And Pingyang Guard's
The soldiers and horses have already arrived in Huozhou. They are blocked at two points in front and behind, with hundreds of thousands of young men in between. It is impossible for the Lingshi to provide enough food to sustain them for a long time. Soon the food will be exhausted and they will have to disperse.
It can be said that this is the only way.
After all, as long as they enter the Jinzhong Basin, there will really be no way to stop them.
Therefore, Wei Shan rushed in first, and then deliberately caused a rout, coercing the reinforcements from behind to open the way for Yang Feng in advance, allowing him to pass through Queshu Valley smoothly.
"Who else could be there besides Wei Guogong? Xu Huizu asked Wei Shan to arrange it in front of me."
Princess Jin said.
"So, I should go thank Duke Wei! But why Wei Shan?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Besides him, among the generals in Taiyuan City, who else was defeated without being punished? His mother, Mrs. Jing Zhaohou, was very beautiful when she was young. After his father's death, he was brought into the palace by your majesty. Later, he was persuaded by others to
Let her remarry."
Princess Jin said angrily.
"I see!"
Yang Feng said.
Indeed, it is not a big deal to let a certain general cause a defeat. Anyone can do it, but a defeat must be punished. Even if Xu Huizu is not punished, Zhu Yuanzhang will be punished. The person who does this must first face
Regarding the consequences of the defeat. Then Wei Shan is really the only one in Taiyuan City. After all, his mother has a special relationship with Lao Zhu. For a small defeat like this caused by poor command, others may be punished, but for him, Zhu Yuanzhang is also high
It was lifted high and fell gently.
After all, it was not a big deal, and not many people died in total. Although Wei Shan was the commander, he was still young and inexperienced, and it was understandable that he panicked when he arrived on the battlefield.
"But I beat him before, so he should hate me, right?"
he asked immediately.
Wei Shan was beaten into a pig's head by him.
"Yes, he holds a grudge, but because he was beaten half to death by you, he is even more afraid of you. He treats you like a rat and a cat, and even trembles when he hears your name."
Princess Jin said with a smile.
"Then it's easy. Call him here and I'll beat him up again."
Yang Feng said.
So I have to show my loyalty every time I fight.
This kind of loyalty does not necessarily require gratitude. Fear can also be loyal, and the effect of fear may even be better. For example, as long as the chicken is afraid of its father, it will be loyal to the bones.
"Call here?"
Princess Jin looked at him in astonishment.
Yang Feng looked at the messy secret room made by the two...
"There is indeed something inappropriate here, so let's change the place. Don't worry. Since he is so sensible, he will definitely continue to be sensible. If he is not sensible, then I will teach him to be sensible. If he is not sensible yet, then
He won’t have to be sensible anymore.”
He rolled up his sleeves and said.
Letting Wei Shan know about his collusion with the princess can also strengthen his loyalty.
After all, this means that he actually has a special relationship with Jin Fan, and Wei Shan is the guard commander of Jin Fan after all. He is the guard general of Jin Fan, and everyone is one of his own.
…
the next day.
Shanxi Capital Command and Envoy Division.
Duke Guo of Wei looked at Yang Feng sadly.
Ambassador Yang suddenly appeared in Taiyuan at a critical moment of life and death. The reason was of course that on his way to Jiezhou, he learned about the news that Prince Zhaode fell into the water and drowned, and also learned that there was a river god.
Marching to Taiyuan. As an envoy of the Ming Dynasty's friendly countries, and he had just stayed in Taiyuan for a while, he was very affectionate towards Taiyuan. In order to avoid Taiyuan from suffering from war, he hurriedly and slowly arrived, and finally arrived. However, he did not
He is not here to fight against the River God. The latter is a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty and a hero against the Jin Dynasty. Ambassador Yang also respects him very much. What's more, he is fighting on behalf of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The Xia Dynasty and the Song Dynasty have no grudges.
This war has nothing to do with Daxia.
Of course, it would be impossible for him to fight the River God.
but……
It can be mediated!
A person like him is best suited to mediate.
So after Ambassador Yang had a long conversation all night with the River God, the latter gave him two letters and asked him to secretly deliver them to Wei Guogong, and then let Wei Guogong make a choice.
"Wei Guogong, first of all, I have to explain that no matter what happens between you and the River God, I am neutral and will not help either of you deal with the other. In fact, I can understand the emergence of the River God. Although our era was scientific, this
There are also rumors about such seemingly unexplainable things. Heroes like this in ancient times naturally have ever-lasting heroic spirit, and it is not surprising that they eventually became heroes. And after His Majesty the Emperor of your country started the army, he has always been a minister of the Song Dynasty, honoring the age of dragons and phoenixes.
No., can be regarded as Song Chen.
Regardless of the actual situation, it is certain that he was a minister of the Song Dynasty before he became emperor.
But what about after he becomes emperor?
Why did you hold up Hu Yuan's stinky feet but denounce the Red Turban Army as rebels?
this is not right.
In the past, he was a minister of the Song Dynasty, and these heroes who were loyal to the Song Dynasty would not come out. Even if he later proclaimed himself emperor and kicked out the Song Dynasty, it would be a normal rise and fall of the dynasty, which has happened since ancient times, but he turned to praise Hu Yuan and denied it.
He was once a minister of the Song Dynasty, so these heroes who were loyal to the Song Dynasty would naturally appear if they were angry. So it was not difficult to deal with them. Let him send the emperor's grandson north to pay homage to the Red Scarf Army and clarify who Ming Zhengshuo was.
The Song Dynasty gave way.
Very simple.
Han Lin'er was trapped in Shouchun. If you hadn't rescued him, he would have died. It was your emperor who rescued him. He thought he was incapable of continuing to lead the people to resist Hu Yuan, so he gave up the throne to your emperor.
As for him falling into the water and dying, that was purely an accident.
Prince Zhaode also fell into the water.
It can be seen that death by falling into the water is actually common.
Besides, even if this were not the case, he was rescued by your emperor. Without your emperor's rescue, he would have died in Shouchun long ago. He owes your emperor his life, so it is reasonable to use the throne to repay him.
Then hold a bigger ceremony in Kaifeng, and even set up an altar to worship heaven by the Yellow River to clarify this matter. This will naturally calm the grievances of these heroic spirits and they will rest in peace. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be more in the future.
More will appear, maybe even Yue Wumu will appear, and the world will easily be in chaos at that time.
Of course, I am an outsider and it is not convenient for me to say these things. Wei Guogong should report it."
Yang Feng said seriously.
that's it.
This was his real purpose in creating the River God Li Yanxian.
Xu Huizu looked at him deeply...
Therefore, this forced him to clearly support the emperor's grandson.
It's not a big deal.
Anyway, after what happened before, he basically has no other choice. It is not bad to clarify the camp in this way, but...
Nothing but.
"So, a certain person is indeed worthy of being honored."
he said.
"The Duke of Wei is indeed loyal to the country, but this only relieves the grievances of these heroic spirits and allows them to rest in peace. But now it is not just these heroic spirits, but also the grievances of the people of Shanxi. Why do the people of Shanxi follow the River God?
Are you dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty? The Jin vassal has asked to move to the vassal before, but your majesty has not responded yet because of the matter of Prince Zhaode. The people are anxious. Now that Prince Zhaode has been punished by heaven, it is enough to prove that he
It's just a false accusation to fight for the throne, so your Majesty should immediately issue an order to agree to the transfer of the feudal vassal.
Why the delay till now?
What kind of autopsy is needed to prevent King Jin from resting in peace?
It’s time for Duke Wei to urge His Majesty.”
Yang Feng said.
"This matter shall be decided by His Majesty."
Xu Huizu said simply.
It's not his place to report such a thing.
"Wei Guogong, I think you should read these two letters.
But I don’t know what’s inside.”
Yang Feng said.
Xu Huizu opened the first letter.
"Gauntlet?"
He looked at Yang Feng speechlessly.
Well, this is the letter of challenge that the River God asked Ambassador Yang to bring him. The River God asked him to go out for a duel. If he defeated the River God, the River God would return to the Yellow River. If he lost, he would open the city gate. River
The god didn't want to kill too many innocent soldiers, so he went out to challenge him. If he failed in the challenge, and other generals in Taiyuan City were willing to challenge him, the river god could continue.
In short, there is no need to involve innocent people and soldiers in this struggle.
Just challenge it alone.
Or just go out and let the river god kill you.
"Ambassador, the River God is a deity, how can we, mortals, challenge him one-on-one?"
Xu Huizu looked at Yang Feng and said.
If you, Tamar, want to be shameless and pick a fight, you might as well tell us to go out, and then you can take them out one by one and bleed them.
"I'm just a messenger. As for what the River God wants, that's the River God's business. Since Wei Guogong thinks this is unfair, you can read this letter."
Yang Feng pointed to another letter and said.
Xu Huizu opened the letter...
"Thank you letter?"
Yang Feng then raised his head and said.
The content of this letter is very simple. It is to thank Xu Huizu for letting Wei Shan lead the way. The river god has seen Xu Huizu’s true thoughts from Xu Huizu’s goodwill. If Xu Huizu can lead the Taiyuan garrison to defect and return to the mainland,
In the arms of the Song Dynasty, he is still the Duke of Wei. Besides, this is not considered a betrayal. After all, the Xu family was also a minister of the Song Dynasty back then, but now he has just returned to the Song Dynasty.
Glorious anyway.
"Wei Guogong, I really didn't expect that you would hide so deeply. Although I did not intervene in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, as an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, I have always regarded you as a friend, but you still do this and let me
Very disappointed.
I have to tell the prince of Jin to ask him to report to your emperor."
Yang Feng said seriously.
"Ambassador, this is a false accusation, this is purely a false accusation!"
Xu Huizu said angrily.
"That's easy to handle. Let's call Wei Shan and confront him."
Yang Feng said.
"Wei..."
Xu Huizu was just about to say Wei Shan, but suddenly he realized...
"Ambassador Yang, if we have anything to say, just tell us!"
He threw the two letters on the table and said.
This is not Yang Feng's real purpose. Using these two letters drove him to a dead end. Then there is Yang Feng's real purpose. Now he is really at a dead end. He has two choices in front of him. One chooses to go out and let Yang Feng kill him.
He can indeed do this, which is equivalent to using his death in battle to exchange for the wealth and glory of the Xu family. But the problem is that there is a second letter. Even if he dies in battle, the Xu family will have no glory and wealth. Zhu Jixi will cooperate with Yang Feng
, let those unscrupulous people go north to besiege Taiyuan and inform them, and Wei Shan would testify, so even if he died, the Xu family would be finished.
How vicious!
How vicious!
"Actually, the River God also proposed a choice."
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, please tell me. As long as it doesn't violate my loyalty, I can say anything."
Xu Huizu said.
"It's very simple, let the people of Shanxi make the decision. Although the River God is a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, he is also a righteous man and knows that public opinion cannot be violated. If the people of Shanxi are willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi will still be the Ming Dynasty. If the people of Shanxi Province are willing to belong to the Song Dynasty, then Shanxi will be the Song Dynasty.
