Zhang Zhihong left only one guard, and he sent out the other three.
Then he walked to the opposite side of Tang Yin, sat down slowly, stared at Tang Yin without blinking, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Zhang Xiang really wants to know?"
"explain!"
"Tang Yin!" Tang Yin no longer concealed anything and stated his name lightly.
Hearing the word Tang Yin, Zhang Zhihong's head buzzed, his mouth opened subconsciously, he pointed at Tang Yin's nose, and stammered: "You...you..."
With a calm smile on his face, Tang Yin said slowly: "I'm sorry for what happened to Mr. Ling, but I also hope that Prime Minister Zhang can understand it. After all, we were on a hostile stand at the time. Even if I killed him, I wouldn't do it for him."
Yes." He said he was apologizing, but his attitude and tone were not apologetic at all.
After all, Zhang Zhihong is a high-ranking official in Ningguo. He has deep knowledge and extensive experience, so he calmed down quickly. No wonder he felt familiar when he saw the other person at first glance. It was not that he had seen Tang Yin before, but from the description of Tang Yin's appearance.
Too many things have happened, including his son Zhang Chu who said Tang Yin's appearance in front of him more than once.
It was unimaginable that Feng Wang Tang Yin would appear in Liangzhou with only one attendant. How brave was this? Thinking of this, his eyes naturally glanced at Cheng Jin.
"Don't think so." Tang Yin picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Ah?" Zhang Zhihong was stunned by his sudden words and looked at him blankly.
Tang Yin held the cup and said with a smile: "Don't try to capture me and report your merits to Yan Chu. It will not do you any good." After a pause, he said with a smile: "Feng Mo teamed up to destroy Ning, which is a big deal.
The trend is that, whether with or without me, the country of Ning will perish."
Bang!
Zhang Zhihong clenched his fist and smashed the table hard, shaking the dishes on the table. He said in a ferocious voice: "Tang Yin, you are so brave, you dare to come to Ningdu to threaten me, the right minister of the government.
! Not to mention that I am at odds with you because of national hatred. Even if I hate my family, cutting you into pieces will not dispel the hatred in my heart!"
In response to his gritted words, Tang Yin was not angry or nervous. Instead, he looked up and chuckled. He said: "Prime Minister Zhang, you are not just a young master like Zhang Chu, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Even if Zhang Chu is disabled, he is still alive after all. Do you want to watch your children and the whole family die?" Tang Yin asked softly.
"fart……"
"It is only a matter of time before the Feng Mo Alliance forces conquer Liangzhou. Yan Chu will die by then, and many people will die, including you and your family."
"Hmph! Just because you two countries want to destroy me, Daning?"
"The Feng Mo Alliance Army has no less than 800,000 troops, and they have not yet exhausted all their strength. If the war is serious, the strength can exceed one million, and how many troops do you have in Ningguo? The central army has long been depleted, and it can only rely on the local army.
Hold on hard, Prime Minister Zhang, you are a smart man and should understand the gap between the local army and the central army. Do you think that the strength of the local army alone can stop the central armies of the two countries?"
Tang Yin asked a series of questions, which left Zhang Zhihong speechless. The local army wanted to compete with the central army. Of course, it was a fantasy. However, even if it was a battle of words, Zhang Zhihong did not want to fall at the disadvantage of Tang Yin. He took a deep breath and sneered.
With a loud voice, he said: "As far as I know, a legion of your army was almost completely wiped out by the local army in Xiaoling County..."
"That's just part of our army's strategy."
Zhang Zhihong's face changed slightly and he asked, "How do you say this?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "We can discuss this matter later. This time I came to see Prime Minister Zhang to give you a clear path."
Zhang Zhihong stared at Tang Yin for a long time, and then said: "I will know the way to go."
Tang Yin said: "At a time when life and death are at stake, if you make a wrong move, you will die and your whole family will suffer. Does Prime Minister Zhang want to be the wronged soul of a subjugated country or the king of a country?"
Huh? Zhang Zhihong trembled, and the hostility in his eyes was replaced by horror.
Tang Yin continued: "No matter how high Prime Minister Zhang's official position is in Ning State, he is still a minister, and there is a prince above him. I wonder if Prime Minister Zhang has any intention to replace him?"
He asked casually, but Zhang Zhihong's heart shrank into a ball. If he could be a monarch, who would want to be a minister? He looked at Tang Yin blankly, suppressed his turbulent emotions, shook his head and said: "I don't understand what King Feng means!
"At this time, Zhang Zhihong no longer addressed Tang Yin by his first name, but instead called him Feng Wang.
Tang Yin smiled slightly, puffed out his chest, and said seriously: "This time Feng Mofaning was ordered by the emperor. The reason was that Yan Chu was disrespectful to the emperor and had two minds. To put it bluntly, he wanted Yan Chu to abdicate.
Appoint another Ning Wang who respects the emperor and will act according to the emperor's will. Zhang Xiang has been the right minister for many years, and the Zhang family is a traditional noble of the Ning Kingdom with high morals and high respect. I feel that it is most appropriate for Xiang Zhang to serve as the new king of Xinning. Of course, this is also
It depends on whether Zhang Xiangyuan wants to cooperate with me."
"this……"
His words shocked Zhang Zhihong too much. Is it true that he deposed Yanchu and established himself as Prince Ning? Is Tang Yin so kind? Furthermore, is this the emperor's wish? It's a question of stance.
, it’s not a child’s play, if you make one wrong move, your reputation will be ruined, and you will die without a burial place, how can Zhang Zhihong not be cautious?
As if seeing all the concerns and questions in his mind, Tang Yin smiled and said: "The reason why I approached Prime Minister Zhang is that I feel that Prime Minister Zhang is a person who can cooperate with me and achieve great things. As for the emperor, there is no need for Prime Minister Zhang to worry.
My king’s will is the emperor’s will, and my king’s decision is the emperor’s decision. Of course, if I want to push Prime Minister Zhang to ascend the throne of Ningguo, it will not be without profit. Once it is done, Hexi County will return to Fengfeng, and Ningguo will go to Ningguo.
The country of Feng is proclaimed its vassal."
His words are half true and half false. Now the emperor is in Feng State and is firmly controlled by Tang Yin. No matter who he wants to recommend as King Ning, the emperor will approve it without saying a word. As for the following, he wants Hexi County and Ning State.
These claims of being a minister are all lies, just to win Zhang Zhihong's trust.
Zhang Zhihong was secretly surprised, stared at Tang Yin with wide eyes, and blurted out: "What? Your Highness, Prince Feng, still wants Hexi County?"
What does a mere county in Hexi count? What he wants is the eight counties in Ningguo! Tang Yin smiled and said: "Isn't it possible that Prime Minister Zhang can't bear to part with it? Does the sixteen counties in Ningguo still care about this mere county?"
"Do you want Ningguo to want Fengguo to become its vassal?"
"It's just some tribute gifts every year. Once Prime Minister Zhang sits on the throne of Prince Ning, will he still care about the gold and silver?" Tang Yin suddenly stood up, looked down at Zhang Zhihong, and said quietly: "As the saying goes,
I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Whether Prime Minister Zhang wants to be the king of a country or the minister of a subjugated country, you can choose for yourself!"
"oh……"
"But I have to remind Prime Minister Zhang that the opportunity I have given you will be fought over by many people. Once you miss it, be careful not to regret it!" Tang Yin walked slowly back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
Pace around to give Zhang Zhihong time to think.
Yes, the conditions offered by Tang Yin are indeed too tempting. No matter how high the official position is, he is still a minister. His glory, wealth, wealth and life all depend on the monarch's words. And if he becomes a prince, he will be the king of a country.
The Lord is so high that no one can control him.
It can be said that the more prominent a person is, the more deeply he understands power and the more he covets the throne. Zhang Zhihong is no exception.
He lowered his head, his face changing. It wasn't hot in the private room, but beads of sweat were forming on his forehead. It was obvious that he was in the midst of a battle between heaven and man.
He was not extremely loyal to Yan Chu. His hatred for Tang Yin for hurting his son seemed insignificant once the issue of the throne was put into consideration. If he became the king, his descendants would be kings for generations to come.
How can that be compared to Zhang Chu?
I don't know how long it took, but for Zhang Zhihong, it seemed like a moment or a hundred years. He slowly raised his head, looked at Tang Yin, and asked in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang... wants to
How can I cooperate?”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Jin's heart dropped as soon as he raised his voice. Even the follower named Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up. If Tang Yin was killed, Zhang Zhihong's official position would still be the right minister, and he would still be a retainer, and Zhang Zhihong would still be the right minister.
Cooperate with Tang Yin and become a prince, and he will rise with the tide, and even become a minister or general.
Tang Yin seemed to have expected Zhang Zhihong's reaction, and there was no trace of surprise on his face.
He stopped, stretched out two fingers to Zhang Zhihong, and said: "Prime Minister Zhang only needs to do two things for me. First, let the eldest son Yuanhong go to the south to fight against the Mo army. Second, take the place of Yunchou County.
The army was transferred to the south to stop the Mo army."
"Ah..." Zhang Zhihong breathed. Tang Yin's two things, his upper lip touched his lower lip, were easy to say, but not easy to do.
Changsun Yuanhong was deeply trusted by Yan Chu. Because of this, Yan Chu still insisted on keeping him by his side when the country was in crisis. It would be too difficult to persuade Yan Chu to transfer Changsun Yuanhong. As for transferring Yun
He was even less able to get in touch with the local army in Kou County. After all, he was the Right Prime Minister. Military matters were not under his control and he had no right to interfere. If he raised this matter in front of Yan Chu, he might still do it again.
Arousing Yan Chu's suspicion.
Oops! Zhang Zhihong sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang, it's not that he doesn't want to help you, but that he really...is really powerless!"
Tang Yin is also the king of a country. He is not someone who does not understand government affairs. He understands that it is not easy for the right prime minister to intervene in military affairs. He shook his head with a smile and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, since I have come to you, it means that you can definitely help."
If you help me, you are actually helping yourself."
Seeing that Zhang Zhihong wanted to speak again, Tang Yin waved his hand, sat back on the collapse and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, now we can talk about the issue of Xiaoling County. The defeat of our army in Xiaoling County was actually to give you
