The assassination incident was a trigger. If the target of the assassination had not been Zhang Yi, someone else would have been killed long ago. The situation has developed into a life-and-death situation.
This prompted King Liu Kai to make up his mind to completely deal with Wu Rui and his gang members.
At this time, the soldiers and generals have been separated. The northern army is divided into six legions, commanded by six generals, each guarding a place. When there is a war, the king will send a commander-in-chief to lead the armies in battle.
General Liu Guangda was transferred back to Chang'an and lived in a manor on the outskirts of the city. This was extremely uncomfortable for him, who was used to commanding thousands of troops. Therefore, he repeatedly complained to his brother, even with fierce words.
"Why did my brother deprive me of my military power?" "I can trust an outsider, but my own brother doesn't?" "Chang'an is about to become the Zhang family's world!"
No matter how busy Zhang Yi was, he would visit his father every day, and more than once he heard Liu Guang complaining outside the door.
Liu Guang is also ambitious, Zhang Yi knows it, but Liu Guang's status is special, and Zhang Yi never comments on him behind his back. How to arrange Liu Guang is something that the king has to consider.
Fortunately, Liu Guang and Wu Rui were mortal enemies, and the generals and ministers had always been at odds with each other. This was almost an open matter in old China.
Liu Guang mobilized the northern army to return to Chang'an to guard it. This was also the right thing to do. Chang'an city was empty, and if Wu Rui rebelled, he would definitely gather many people.
However, when Liu Guang got the gold medal and left in a hurry, Zhang Yi saw a proud smile on his face. Liu Guang had a straight face from beginning to end, but suddenly smiled, which made Zhang Yi feel something was wrong.
Therefore, he quickly proposed to dispatch Mopan City warriors to Chang'an. This was an instinctive reaction. He simply did not dare to think deeply. Is Liu Guang here to suppress Wu Rui, or is he taking the opportunity to regain control of the army and realize his own ambitions?
He didn't dare to say anything like this. At the moment, his father still trusted his brother, and Xiaoliu had no doubts about his uncle. He had opinions about him, but he never thought about it elsewhere. No one could do this if the whole family turned against each other.
Something to accept.
Forget it, Zhang Yi felt a headache, so he didn't think much more, and just concentrated on dealing with Wu Rui, first getting rid of this obstacle.
He sent two brothers, Niu Ben and Shi Gan, to set off immediately to mobilize the eight thousand warriors stationed in Jiyuan City and Songjiazhai.
He ordered General Wang Zhengda to gather more than a thousand police officers, equip them with weapons, and prepare for the war.
Then, he led Xiaolong and the commander of the Imperial Guard Army to inspect the palace's defense, asked the Imperial Guard Army to build necessary fortifications, and move a large number of arrows, armor, and weapons from the armory.
The king returned to the palace to rest, and Xiao Liu slept in a side room, guarded by her sisters.
Xiao Han was guarding the door. As long as he was there, no assassin could get close.
…
After settling the palace defense matters, Zhang Yi and Xiaolong went outside the palace and met Xiao Han. The three brothers sat down at the stone table in the garden.
"No abnormality was found." Xiao Hanhui reported.
"Wu Rui is not stupid. He knows that there is no way to get close to the king. That will completely expose himself," Xiaolong said. "Brother, there is no need to worry too much. When the old and new forces alternate, bloody struggle is inevitable."
Both Xiaolong and Xiao Han noticed that Zhang Yi's expression was serious.
"I'm not afraid of fighting. What I'm afraid of is..." Zhang Yi sighed, looked back at the palace, and said, "I'm afraid things will get out of hand, and your Majesty will be worried about this."
Xiaolong and Xiao Han were also sad. They both understood what Yi Ge meant. He was afraid that the king would not be able to stand the excitement and would not be able to hold on to the wedding day. Xiaoliu had already lost his mother. How could he be embarrassed if he lost his father again?
"Brother, don't worry. I see that the king's complexion has improved, and he is a strong-willed person. He will definitely persist until after the wedding." Xiao Han affirmed, "It's pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world. I can see that the country is unstable.
, Your Majesty will never feel at ease. The Guanyin Tower is being built in a hurry, and I think everything will be done in time."
This is just what the brothers said privately. It is impossible for King Liu Kai to see the day when China is unified. It is lucky to be able to hold on until the wedding. The Guanyintai Mausoleum, the Minister of Industry, ordered Xiao Han to arrange for tens of thousands of people to build it day and night.
The completion time will be earlier than expected.
Zhang Yi felt pity in his heart and couldn't help but shed tears.
Xiaolong grabbed Zhang Yi's arm and whispered: "Brother Yi, please cheer up. The burden on your shoulders is getting heavier and heavier. You have to take a long-term view. Princess Xiaoliu, the future of tens of millions of people is counting on you, Tian Xing
It’s about being strong and self-improvement.”
Zhang Yi nodded vigorously and wiped away his tears.
He raised his head and saw the waning moon hanging high, dark clouds drifting, and the sky and earth seemed to be filled with a solemn look.
In fact, this is the scene every day in the wasteland world, but it makes it feel more desolate.
Zhang Yi had to say something.
"Wu Rui is going to rebel. This is certain. The king said that he is Zhiduoxing, but I can't figure it out. What would he use to rebel? In the past, he did have a chance. Now that he has lost the support of other families, he can only rely on the Wu family.
It's unreasonable. Under such circumstances, he dared to send assassins to stir up trouble. I think Wu Rui is not so stupid, right? This shows that Wu Rui has a huge conspiracy, but we are still kept in the dark!
"
Xiaolong and Xiao Han nodded repeatedly.
"Yi Ge is right," Xiaolong agreed. "Perhaps Wu Rui just pretended to be stupid and weak, but was actually setting up a fascination array. He sent out assassins, indicating that he was well prepared and started a series of actions.
.”
"We are busy with reform all day long and don't have the energy to pay too much attention to him. This guy is hiding in secret and planning. He is really despicable. How about I go and assassinate him now?" Xiao Han said angrily.
"It's useless, Wu Rui has been prepared for a long time," Zhang Yi shook his head. "Intelligence personnel said that he has never left the Prime Minister's Mansion. I even doubt whether he is in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Also, what do you think of General Liu Guangda?"
"His expression was very strange when he left. Brother Yi, he is a martial artist. He is not as good at hiding himself as Wu Rui. We have to be careful about him!" Xiaolong said. His observation skills have always been sharp, and Liu Guang's performance cannot be escaped.
his eyes.
"This is dangerous. If not, a civil war will break out." Xiao Han said in shock, "Wu Rui can only tangled up a mob. Liu Guang has an army of 100,000, but we only have 8,000 warriors and 3,000
Royal Guards."
Yes, if two people rebel at the same time, the contrast in strength will be too great, and the enemy will have an absolute advantage. The matter will become more and more serious as time goes by, but this is not an unfounded guess, but a group of wise and courageous people who made it based on various signs.
judge!
Since the reform, everyone has been working hard and has not done too much investigating the movements of Wu Rui and Liu Guang. Now I sat down and analyzed it carefully, and I found that the two people had a conspiracy.
The most worrying thing is, is it possible for two guys who seem to be mortal enemies to come together and join forces to lay out a shocking conspiracy?
