Tang Yin and Zhang Zhihong talked in secret for a long time. Through Tang Yin's story, Zhang Zhihong also completely understood why the Feng army was defeated in Xiaoling County and why it was frightened by the tens of thousands of local troops.
Feng Jun's strategy was not unwise, and it did give him enough excuses to remonstrate with Yan Chu. He could even use this to incite the ministers to create pressure and force Yan Chu to accept the remonstrance.
When the conversation came to an end, Zhang Zhihong grinned, nodded and said: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang is very resourceful, I admire you..." After a pause, he looked directly into Tang Yin's eyes and said with a smile: "I can cooperate with Feng Wang, but, no
After the Governor's work is completed, will King Feng fulfill his promise?"
The calm smile on Tang Yin's face froze, and with a cold look on his face, he asked: "Is Prime Minister Zhang questioning my status?"
Unexpectedly, he would ask this question suddenly. Zhang Zhihong shook his head hurriedly and said: "I have no such intention..."
Tang Yin interrupted: "You are not joking. As the king of a country, do you think I will go back on my word and break my word?"
Zhang Zhihong immediately realized that his questioning was too much. The integrity of the monarch represents the integrity of a country. Questioning the monarch of a country is undoubtedly an insult to the entire country. Zhang Zhihong was stunned for a moment, stood up hurriedly, and said to Tang Yinshen
He gave a salute and said: "Old minister, I have made a mistake. I hope His Highness, King Feng, will not be offended."
Tang Yin waved his hands, his expression softened, and he said calmly: "Zhang can't trust me, but he can always trust the emperor, right? I will report to the emperor at the meeting and pass a secret message to Prime Minister Zhang, stating that as long as Prime Minister Zhang helps me, Feng Jun can enter Liangzhou.
I will make you the King of Xinning."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhihong no longer had any doubts in his heart. If the emperor could really send out such a secret message, then the matter would be a sure thing. Tang Yin might be able to deceive people, but the emperor would never do it. Zhang Zhihong bowed to the ground again
, the fat on his face trembled with excitement, and he said: "Thank you, Sir, His Highness, King Feng!"
"Haha!" Tang Yin laughed and said, "When we meet next time, Prime Minister Zhang doesn't have to call himself Lao Chen. You and I can call each other Brother Wang and Brother Wang."
"Haha——" Zhang Zhihong couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he also looked up and smiled, his round and red face cast an extra layer of glory. In the past few days, he had been overwhelmed by the joint invasion of Feng and Mo.
He thought that the Ning Kingdom was in danger and his position was not guaranteed. Unexpectedly, this turned into an opportunity for him to ascend to the throne of King Ning.
After all that needed to be discussed, Tang Yin said: "It is not appropriate for Prime Minister Zhang to stay here for a long time. If something happens in the future, I will send someone to contact Prime Minister Zhang."
"Okay!" Zhang Zhihong also realized that he had stayed here for too long. He raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, King Feng, I'm retiring." After saying that, seeing that Tang Yin had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but ask: "
Your Highness, King Feng, won’t you leave?”
Tang Yin lowered his head and looked at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "I haven't tasted Ningguo's fine wine and food, how can I leave in such a hurry?"
Zhang Zhihong secretly laughed, Tang Yin was so courageous that he dared to eat and drink in Liangzhou as if no one else was around. He rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, King Feng, is not afraid that the old minister will inform you and arrest King Feng after he leaves?"
Hearing this, a fierce light flashed in Cheng Jin's eyes, and his murderous intent was revealed.
Tang Yin didn't care at all. He picked up his chopsticks, inserted a braised pork knuckle, and said with a smile: "Is Zhang Xianghui so stupid as to do this? This king is the benefactor who helped you rise to the top, and is also the step for you to ascend to the throne. Only fools
Only then would he do something that would destroy his own future, and Prime Minister Zhang is obviously not this kind of person."
Zhang Zhihong laughed again and said no more. He took his retainer Zhang Yuan with him, said goodbye to Tang Yin, and then walked out of the private room. Cheng Jin saw Tang Yin off. When they were about to leave, Cheng Jin took out a jade pendant and broke it in half.
, handed half of it to Zhang Zhihong and said: "Anyone who meets Mr. Zhang in the future will use the other half of the jade pendant as a certificate."
Taking the jade pendant, Zhang Zhihong nodded and just said hello without asking more about who would contact him in the future. He understood that Feng Guo's spies in Liangzhou would not be less than Ning Guo's spies in Yancheng. Tang Yin saw that he
Yi Yiyi has already taken a huge risk. Now that the matter has been settled, he will never take the risk to meet him again.
After Zhang Zhihong left, Cheng Jin returned to the private room and saw Tang Yinzhen eating and drinking. He asked worriedly: "Brother, is Zhang Zhihong really not going to inform?"
"Of course not. As I said just now, only fools would do that." Tang Yin gnawed on the pork knuckle, not looking elegant.
"Zhang Zhihong actually believes that his eldest brother will make him Prince Ning?!" Cheng Jin sneered.
Tang Yin shrugged and said: "Don't underestimate the temptation of the throne. A crown can allow ministers to kill the king, sons to kill their fathers, and risk the disapproval of the world. People's eyes are often blinded by the desire for gain."
Cheng Jin nodded, feeling that what Tang Yin said made sense. In front of the throne, the darkest side of human nature can be fully displayed.
Tang Yin smiled at him and said jokingly: "So, Cheng Jin, you should also keep an eye on the people around me. I don't want to be the second Zhan Hua."
Cheng Jin took a breath and said hurriedly: "To protect the safety of the king, my subordinates will not dare to neglect it for a moment. Moreover, the king's talents and strategies are far beyond those of the previous kings."
"That's good." Tang Yin chuckled and waved, "Sit down and eat together."
"yes!"
Winning over Zhang Zhihong went more smoothly than Tang Yin expected. After completing this matter, it can be regarded as completing the main task of this trip to Liangzhou. The next step is to wait for the Mo army in the south to continue to advance northward and create pressure on the Ningguo court.
, at the same time, he sent a letter to Feige in Yancheng through the eyes of the sky and the earth network spies, asking Shangguan Yuanji to find Yin Zhun immediately, write down the secret Zhao who appointed Zhang Zhihong as King Ning, and bring it to Liangzhou as quickly as possible.
To completely dispel Zhang Zhihong's doubts and enable him to do his best for himself.
In Tang Yin's mind, integrity is worthless. Even though he said nice words and swore in front of Zhang Zhihong, he had already made up his mind. When Liangzhou was destroyed, the first person he wanted to kill was Zhang Zhihong.
, as for the emperor’s secret document, it will also be taken back from Zhang Zhihong’s hands and destroyed secretly.
In his heart, there will never be Ning Guo again, let alone Prince Ning.
In the next few days, Tang Yin found several major leaders of Tianyan and Diwang in Liangzhou and explained to them one by one, especially the matter of contacting Zhang Zhihong. He specifically ordered several leaders to do it in person.
To prevent accidents.
Two days later, the gold that Tang Yin had secretly transported arrived in Liangzhou.
Tang Yin gave the gold to the leaders of Tianyan and Diwang for safekeeping, and took out 10,000 taels from it and asked Cheng Jin to hand it over to Zhang Zhihong's house. No matter how he handled it, whether he kept it for his own use or bribed other ministers,
In short, he hoped that Zhang Zhihong could get the two things he proposed done as soon as possible.
Cheng Jin took the order and left. Tang Yin had nothing to do in the inn and went to a nearby teahouse to drink tea and watch the street scene.
This teahouse is not big and the location is relatively remote, but there are many people who come to drink tea, including many rich and powerful people.
Tang Yin felt strange at first, but after drinking the tea brought by the waiter, he immediately understood why the teahouse's business was so booming. The tea in this teahouse is very authentic, with a mellow taste, fragrant and sweet, and one cup is very satisfying.
Feeling refreshed and refreshed.
If this teahouse were in Yancheng, Tang Yin would probably visit it often. Thinking of this, he was happy and he was confident that he could move this teahouse to Yancheng soon.
While he was enjoying tea happily, several tea guests came from outside. This was nothing, but one of them was the person Tang Yin least wanted to meet at this time.
a woman.
How could it be her? Tang Yin frowned secretly. If he avoided it at this time, it would attract people's attention. He sat there without moving, but lowered his head slightly, pretending to be sipping tea seriously.
He thought the other party couldn't see him, but he was wrong.
Since they were acquaintances, the waiter came up to us and led them to their usual seats upstairs. But just as they were about to go upstairs, the leader, a pretty girl in her twenties, looked around instinctively.
The tea guest, when her eyes swept over Tang Yin, her eyes flashed with shock, and her slender and delicate body was also shocked.
The slender feet that were about to step up the steps were retracted, turned around, and stared at Tang Yin with a pair of beautiful eyes without blinking.
Because Tang Yin lowered his head slightly, she could only see half of his face clearly, but not the whole picture. In addition, she didn't believe that he would appear here, but the person in front of her did touch her deep heart.
The memory I least want to mention.
The girl walked towards Tang Yin step by step with an unbelievable expression.
Seeing that she did not go upstairs, but headed toward the window on the first floor, the people following her were stunned and said in unison: "Miss..."
The girl ignored their questions and walked to Tang Yin's table and stood still.
At this time, Tang Yin had seen everything clearly with the corner of his eye, and secretly sighed in his heart. If God does evil, you can still violate it. If you do evil on your own, you will not live! He and she really have a bad fate.
The girl sat down opposite him, her face turned pale and her body was trembling.
Tang Yin could no longer pretend to be confused. Rather than letting people ask, he might as well say hello himself.
He put down the tea cup slowly and elegantly, raised his head calmly, and met the girl's eyes without any warning. A bright smile spread on his face, his eyes were curved, revealing two neat rows of white teeth, gentle and elegant.
Without losing any surprise, she said: "Miss Youling, we meet again." It was just the wrong time and the wrong place.
boom!
The girl opposite looked at the handsome smiling face in front of her and stayed there for three seconds before her head buzzed and she regained her senses. For a moment, even she was almost beguiled by his warm and charming smile.
But she knew better than anyone else that it was an illusion. Behind his smile was cruelty and cold-bloodedness that was cold to the bone.
She will never forget him, never, even if he turns into ashes, and she will never forget the hurt and shame he inflicted on her.
