In the palace of the Prince of Han, golden chrysanthemums were like a sea, and the autumn wind was rustling. Everyone looked at Zhuang Jing and listened to his slow words: "The purpose of the deer-horse dispute between Zhao Gao and Qin II was to see whether the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would listen to him.
. As long as we find an opportunity to test the officials, we will know what they think in their hearts."
"Wonderful." Xu Cheng and others laughed excitedly after hearing this: "The prince said that snow is black, but those who know how to tell it dare not say that it is white. If anyone dares to say that, there is something wrong.
"That's right." Song Hu also nodded and smiled: "Such an opportunity is not difficult to find, just give it a try and you will know."
"But there is one condition." Zhuang Jing said leisurely: "At that time, when Zhao Gao called a deer a horse, he deliberately got into an argument with him in front of the Second Emperor."
"Well. Not only can this be used to tell how important he and Qin II are in the hearts of the ministers." Song Hu also felt that it made sense, nodded in agreement: "It can also make the ministers separate themselves from Qin II." The truth is.
It's very simple. The minister cooperated with Zhao Gao to confuse right and wrong in person, and the authority of Qin II was wiped out. Naturally, Qin II was completely offended. After that, he could only follow Zhao Gao to the dark side, and even tried to get rid of Qin more actively than Zhao Gao.
Second generation, so as not to be settled by the future.
"Win, that's it." King Han's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.
"Ah, God is really helping you, Your Majesty. In a few days, the annual September Parade will be held. This year, the Emperor is not in the capital. The Crown Prince will take the place of the Emperor in the military parade. Naturally, all the civil and military officials will accompany him." Wang Bin said excitedly, slapping his forehead.
: "Isn't it a good opportunity?"
"This..." Song Hu hesitated and asked, "Isn't it a little too bold?" That's under the spotlight. Once something outrageous like that happens, it will spread all over the world in an instant, and you can't even hide it.
"Hmm..." The King of Han also hesitated a little. Although he was by no means an indecisive person, he was not allowed to be cautious when performing such a big play in the Great Autumn Festival.
"We are all mothers and we are still afraid of a ball." Li Maofang, a fool who turned around and forgot, suddenly became a supporter of Master Zhuang again: "What can you accomplish if you are afraid of the east and the west?"
"That's right." Ji Gang nodded and said quietly: "Besides, there is nothing to worry about this kind of thing. The prince and the prince have never dealt with it. Even if they are referring to a deer as a horse, others will only think that it is another embarrassment to the prince, even if it reaches the ears of the emperor.
, it’s no big deal.”
"Well..." The King of Han frowned, finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and slapped the case hard: "Seven days later, at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, the troops will be ordered on the battlefield."
After making a big plan, the crowd was excited, and the King of Han no longer pretended, and ordered people to remove the crabs, replace them with big fish and meat, and reward his generals. The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly changed, and the generals shouted and drank, and poured wine around their necks, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
…
At dusk, the banquet ended. Zhuang Jing and Ji Gang were both too drunk to walk, so they had to get in the car and go back to the Yamen.
As soon as the car door closed and the wheels turned, the drunkenness of the two people in the car disappeared.
Ji Gang rubbed his face hard and sneered at Zhuang Jing: "They are indeed a bunch of idiots from top to bottom."
"Haha." Zhuang Jing is not as good at drinking as Ji Gang. He was still a little drunk after drinking more than a dozen drinks. He took a few sips of the strong tea that he had prepared earlier and said with a smile: "They are really not smart. They mistake deer for horse."
That's good, but that's what Zhao Gao came up with when he wanted to usurp the throne and become emperor. Now that the King of Han has come to do this, won't he become a treacherous traitor like Zhao Gao? When the time comes, our cards will be revealed, no matter if he wins
No matter how much you earn, you have to spit it out with the profits.”
"Humph, idiots always make wedding clothes for others." Ji Gang chuckled, his face gradually became serious and said: "But we are determined not to make any mistakes." He looked at Zhuang Jing and said, "That guy still doesn't agree.
Will you cooperate with me?"
"Yes, he has completely turned into a waste. He said that he would rather commit suicide in order to stop the suffering of war for the people of the world." Speaking of that man, Zhuang Jing said helplessly: "He actually committed suicide several times.
"
"Oh?" Ji Gang became anxious. Without that person's existence, he would have no hope at all. So he would have to go through all the trouble to make someone else's wedding dress. "He has to live for me."
"Don't worry, Dong Weng. I sent people to keep an eye on him day and night. He won't be able to hurt himself anymore." Zhuang Jing said with a mocking smile: "He still wanted to go on a hunger strike, but he didn't know there was a way to do it. He was fed once. After that,
Just eat honestly."
"Hmph, that kind of trash who lives in a deep palace cannot die even if he wants to." Ji Gang snorted coldly: "But I not only want him to live, I also want to cooperate." There is really no way, only that person is willing
Only by cooperating can he make all civil and military officials surrender. There is no other way. As he spoke, Ji Gang's eyes were a little blurred, and his voice lowered involuntarily: "Have those people come into contact with you again?"
"I was about to tell Dong Weng." Zhuang Jing said: "How could those people give up on their emperor? They asked me to meet tomorrow..."
"Since we want to meet again, you naturally agree to my conditions?" Ji Gang said happily.
"It should be like this." Zhuang Jing nodded and said proudly: "That person is in our hands, they are not qualified to negotiate terms with us." He paused and asked: "How much of their terms are Dong Weng prepared to agree to?"
"Well." Ji Gang had already made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Except for the first one, I don't agree to anything. And even for the first one, they only agree that they can meet that person, but they can't be allowed to accompany him.
And we can only meet him once every three days. Each time one person meets him, the time does not exceed a cup of tea, and one of our people must be present."
"Then I understand." Zhuang Jing said, "Leave the rest to me."
"Well, I can rest assured that you will do the work." Ji Gang nodded: "I will leave this matter to you. I have to concentrate on dealing with Lin San, the thorny guy. This guy has not given me an accurate answer until now."
"Haha," Zhuang Jing said with a smile: "After all, it would be hard to let him go without any return. No one would be happy if it were him."
"It's too soft, so I have to use hard ones." Ji Gang gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I give the order, all his brothers in Shandong will make dumplings."
"That's all." Zhuang Jing nodded and said, "It's impossible for him to come back alive anyway. It would be great if he could accomplish this."
"Yes, such an outrageous master is more reassuring after death." Ji Gang said coldly: "That's it."
While talking, the carriage arrived at Ji Gang's house. In order to facilitate planning at any time, Ji Gang vacated the east courtyard of his house and let Zhuang Jing move in... Of course, it was also to facilitate surveillance to prevent this guy from betraying him. Because of this, Zhuang Jing
I didn't even dare to say a word of respect, so I moved my family here obediently.
If it hadn't been for this, how could his villa in the suburbs of Beijing have been so lax in its precautions that even the royalties were stolen?
As soon as he returned to his yard, went into his study and closed the door, Zhuang Jing's face darkened and he asked his nephew Zhuang Bidao who had followed him in: "Have you found the person?"
"No." Zhuang Bi said hurriedly: "According to uncle's order, we can't mobilize the strength of the Jin Yiwei. We can only rely on our own ability to find the needle in the haystack. It is too difficult to find that girl." Zhuang Bi secretly complained to his uncle in his heart.
, looks serious all day long, but is actually full of male thieves and female prostitutes. If the old guy hadn't been lustful, why would he be in trouble today?
"Where is Marquis Zhenyuan?" Zhuang Jing frowned. When someone came to report that Dong Xiaoqian was missing ten days ago, Mr. Zhuang suddenly felt thunderstruck. He secretly hid this woman. Ji Gang was not good at women. Originally,
His order was to kill this woman and get it over with. But Zhuang Jing coveted Dong Xiaoqian’s peerless beauty, especially since she was a talented woman who was proficient in playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could satisfy all Zhuang Master’s fantasies about women.
It's just that Zhuang Jing has been embarrassed to set foot in Liucui Tower due to his status as a Taoist. After getting the order, he had the idea of substituting the previous one. Relying on Ji Gang's trust in him, he seemed to have done this flawlessly.
I hid Dong Xiaoqian for ten years...but I didn't expect that something would happen in the end.
Zhuang Jing knew that if Ji Gang found out that he dared to deceive him, he would definitely be miserable. But this was second to none. The most important thing was, who stole Dong Xiaoqian? He first ruled out adultery and guarded theft.
possibility, and then there is only one possibility - that is, his trick of substituting others was discovered.
You know, ten years have passed since this incident. In the past ten years, Dong Xiaoqian has not taken a step out of her career, and no one has mentioned this incident again. But someone was able to pick this case out of the old papers and find the person again.
Apart from Beizhen Fusi, who was originally responsible for this case, Zhuang Jing couldn't think of anyone else who could handle it.
Zhuang Jing sweated profusely when he thought of the words "Beizhen Fusi". At this juncture, Beizhen Fusi put so much effort into finding Dong Xiaoqian, he must have a big plan. Was he trying to threaten himself? Or...
Blackmailing the Marquis of Zhenyuan?
If the former is not scary, the worst he can do is confess to Ji Gang. Now that he is employing people, Ji Gang can't really do anything to him. Moreover, Wang Xian is not so naive, thinking that he can be threatened by just one woman. But Wang Xian
This woman can be used to blackmail Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Although this woman herself cannot threaten Gu Xingzu, as long as Gu Zaixing is still alive and knows that this woman is not dead, no matter where she is hidden, she will pop out.
So is Gu Zaixing dead? Zhuang Jing has been ignoring this issue before, but now he thinks he is not dead. Of course, Master Zhuang was negligent because his original mission was to force Gu Cheng out of the capital. Now that he has achieved his goal
, he naturally did not pay attention to the situation of Gu Zaixing on death row.
When Mr. Zhuang realized his negligence, he quickly found out the Gu family's trick on behalf of Tao Zang and confirmed that Gu Zaixing was indeed alive. Then the key to the problem changed from finding Dong Xiaoqian to whether Gu Xingzu had been cared for by Beizhen.
