The first thousand five hundred and forty-two chapters
Wan Huojing looked at Zeng Yi and said slowly: "You are right. The White Lotus Sect has resurrected. The governor of Jiangsu has been defeated. The emperor is furious. He must mobilize heavy troops and send people to exterminate the White Lotus Sect. However, for the leading general, the emperor is furious.
There was a disagreement among them, and at this time, a minister came forward and suggested that the Duan family of Dali lead troops to exterminate the White Lotus Sect. There are many masters of the Duan family of Dali, so there should be no problem in dealing with the masters of the White Lotus sect, and the emperor also intends to let the Duan family of Dali take action."
"Dali Duan can't take action!" Zeng Yi said straightforwardly after listening to Wan Huojing's words.
Wan Huojing frowned, "Why is this?"
"The reason why the White Lotus Sect was able to defeat the Governor of Jiangsu was inseparable from me and the help of the pro-military Duwei Mansion. The reason why we helped the White Lotus Sect was to let the emperor send top-notch experts from the capital. The Duan family in Dali must not be involved in this matter!
"
"This!" Wan Huojing had no idea about Zeng Yi's plan before. Someone suggested that the Duan family in Dali lead troops to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, but he did not raise any objection.
"This is my purpose for taking such a big risk to come to you this time. No matter what method you use, you must prevent the Dali Duan clan from intervening!"
"But, this suggestion is almost a foregone conclusion. The emperor should issue an edict soon. It's too late to stop it now!" Wan Huojing said with some embarrassment.
Zeng Yi was silent for a moment and then said: "Emperor, you shouldn't worry about the Duan family in Dali, right?"
"Of course, the emperor will not trust any general who is leading troops outside, let alone the Duan clan of Dali, the King of Zhennan, who is his own sect. The Duan clan of Dali has many masters, and the emperor has always been on guard against the Duan clan of Dali, and even restricted it intentionally or unintentionally
The development of the Duan family in Dali. If the Duan family in Dali had not always been very cautious, leaving the emperor with no clues, he might have provoked the Duan family in Dali long ago."
"That's right, you can use this to persuade the emperor to give up this opinion." The Duan family in Dali is indeed very powerful. Zeng Yi has met the monks of Tianlong Temple, but the emperor is indeed very worried about them and always treats them
The Dali Duan clan is restricted to Dali, preventing the Dali Duan clan from expanding its influence outwards. This gives Wan Huojing room to operate.
After Zeng Yi's reminder, Wan Huojing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurried to the palace early the next morning. Before he went to court, this guy went to meet the emperor.
“Your Majesty’s humble minister has something important to report!”
"Is there anything you can't tell me this morning?"
"Your Majesty, it's best if few people know about this matter!"
"Tell me." The old emperor yawned and said.
"Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate to send the Duan clan of Dali to exterminate the White Lotus Sect!"
The emperor frowned: "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, with the strength of the Forbidden Army and the Dali Duan clan, the White Lotus Sect is not a problem. However, this is not to give the Dali Duan clan a credit in vain. The Dali Duan clan already has great prestige in the south. This time
After that, the prestige will be even greater, and it is very likely that the Dali Duan clan will use this to expand its influence, which is not a good thing for the court!"
Wan Huojing is not lying. The Dali Duan family must also have plans to expand its influence. However, due to the emperor's suspicion, he has never dared to show it. If the emperor himself gives the opportunity, the Dali Duan family will definitely not let it go.
, and it is estimated that he will do this beautifully and wipe out the White Lotus Sect with the force of the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. Only in this way can he show how powerful the Duan family in Dali is.
After hearing Wan Huojing's words, the emperor frowned even more and muttered in a low voice: "Duan family of Dali, Duan family of Dali!"
After being silent for a while, the old emperor raised his head and said to Wan Huojing: "I have my own arrangements for this matter. Please go down, dear!"
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice and resign!"
Originally, the emperor was about to issue an edict in the early court, but after Wan Huojing said what he said, the early court did not mention the Duan family in Dali leading the army at all. Obviously, the emperor was still afraid of the Duan family in Dali.
Of course, it was impossible for the emperor to give up on the Duan family in Dali just because of Wan Huojing's words. He still had to discuss it with several important ministers. After the next dynasty, several Yuan Dynasty members were retained.
.
Zeng Yi did not leave Wan Huojing's mansion. He had to wait for news from Queque before leaving. It was almost noon when Wan Huojing came back from the palace. As soon as Zeng Yi saw Wan Huojing, he couldn't wait to ask: "
how's it going?"
Wan Huojing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor has given up on sending the Duan clan of Dali to lead troops to exterminate the White Lotus Sect." It turned out that at first, several ministers did not see the fear in the emperor's heart, but looked at the emperor
Very hesitant, those guys immediately understood that they were all figures who had been in the officialdom for many years, so they naturally knew that they should follow the emperor. These guys changed their words one after another, saying that such a thing must be personally handled by the imperial court in order to deter those little ones.
He also said that the Duans of Dali believed in Buddhism and should not be allowed to participate in the killings.
After listening to Wan Huojing's words, Zeng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time said in his heart: "Fourth brother, don't blame me for losing it once. Your Dali Duan family's opportunity to develop outwards will be compensated for when I become rich.
!”
The matter was resolved, and Zeng Yi relaxed. He looked at the scene of thousands of fires, thought for a moment, and said: "We have a big plan recently. Once it succeeds, it will be very beneficial to everyone in the future. You should pay attention to attracting more people in the court."
For these people, it is best to have a good relationship with the royal family."
"What is the plan? Do I have to hide it too?" Wan Huojing frowned, looked at Zeng Yi and said.
In fact, Zeng Yi didn't want to hide this guy. Anyway, he was a grasshopper on a rope. It didn't matter if he told him. It was just that the plan was too big and Zeng Yi was too lazy to explain it to him. Now that everyone had said so, Zeng Yi had no choice but to tell him.
I can tell Wan Huojing the plan.
"There's nothing to hide. If you want to know, I'll tell you! You probably know that among the next generation of direct descendants of the royal family, there are only two people, the prince and the princess. The target of the plan is the prince...
.." He picked up the important things and said it to Wan Huojing. After hearing this, the guy opened his mouth wide and was very surprised.
"You guys, you colluded with the Four Kingdoms for this plan. Have you ever thought that something like this might lead to a wolf entering the house!"
"Of course we know, but we also know that even if we lure wolves into the house, we have enough strength to deal with them!"
"But the emperor will not pass the throne to the princess!"
"Hehe, it won't be up to him then. He's so old, and after going through such a big thing, he won't live for a few days."
