595 [The Beginning of Dragon Slaying]
Late at night, in the study room of Wei State Mansion.
Wang Pingzhang slowly drank a small bowl of ginseng tea, took a handkerchief from Wang Jiuxuan who was standing next to him, wiped the corner of his lips, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit."
Wang Jiuxuan walked over and sat down, putting his hands on his knees and his back as straight as loose.
Wang Pingzhang said lightly: "Are you envious of Pei Yue?"
Pei Yue stole the show today. In the past, everyone knew that he had made great contributions, so he was highly valued by His Majesty the Emperor, but after all, there was no intuitive feeling. During the day, I saw him riding a tall horse, with behind him were elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield.
Old pawn, the people of Kyoto are cheering non-stop on the side of the road. I don’t know how many young girls have his young and handsome face in their minds. This situation may not be calm for any young man.
Wang Jiuxuan smiled and said, "I'm very envious."
Wang Pingzhang asked: "That's it?"
Wang Jiuxuan nodded and said: "Grandpa, today's scenery was earned by Pei Yue's hard work. In fact, it is slightly inappropriate to envy him. The children of the Wang family must broaden their horizons."
Wang Pingzhang said with satisfaction: "You did not disappoint my grandfather. If your father had not died young and your uncles were incompetent, I would not have placed such a heavy burden on your shoulders."
Wang Jiuxuan said sincerely: "My grandson is very happy with it."
Wang Pingzhang did not continue this topic. He was very satisfied with his eldest grandson whom he personally taught. Even though Wang Jiuxuan was not as famous as Pei Yue, only this old man knew how much ability and ability his grandson had hidden.
The reason why he did not reveal it was, on the one hand, because the time had not come yet, and on the other hand, he had to hide his strength and bide his time.
After a moment of silence, Wang Pingzhang asked: "What's going on with Li Binzhong recently?"
Wang Jiuxuan replied unhurriedly: "After that court meeting, he planned to frame Pei Yue in the mansion. However, because Pei Yue went to Dingguo Mansion to make a big fuss, even Pei Yun was slapped, so His Majesty did not punish him.
, so he was frightened. During this period, he secretly walked around Beijing and met Lu Min's son Lu Jiang in private twice. "
"The plaque in the Chengguo Mansion has been removed, so the Lu family is still not honest?"
"Lu Min is dead, and Cheng Guofu has been deprived of his title, but after all, it is a large family that has lasted for nearly a hundred years. The centipede insect is still alive and will not be able to fall again for a while. Grandpa, Lu Min harmed an army of 50,000 in the Western Region. How can he die?"
Can you atone for the crime? According to His Majesty’s temperament, my grandson would think that he would confiscate his family and exterminate his family.”
Wang Pingzhang sneered and said lightly: "Because your Majesty knows that Lu Min was tricked to death by him, if he kills all the Lu family, what will Gu Liang, me, and even Shen Moyun think? Although your Majesty is the supreme leader of Daliang, you can't do it after all.
Do whatever you want, unless he doesn't want to become an emperor for eternity."
Wang Jiu
surveillance?”
Wang Pingzhang said nonchalantly: "You don't need him to succeed, just cause some trouble for Pei Yue and Gu Liang. Jiuxuan, now you have finally become the commander of the Forbidden Army. The backup plan I have arranged for so many years has paid off. There are some things that I must tell you."
you."
Wang Jiuxuan was slightly startled and sat upright.
Wang Pingzhang said slowly: "The reason why my grandfather was able to force Pei Zhen to fake his death, completely suppress the group of worms like the founding prince, and become the number one person in the Daliang military, what is the reason?"
Wang Jiuxuan replied respectfully: "The changes in the autumn of Yongning."
Wang Pingzhang recalled the blood and fire in those days, and said with a mocking smile: "Your Majesty was able to ascend to this supreme position only because of the knife in your grandfather's hand. If it hadn't been for those idiots who gave the late Emperor the power at my instigation,
poison,
Without me helping him set up false appearances on the border to lure away Gu Liang and others, even if the late emperor died of poisoning, he would not be able to take the throne. If I hadn't led people to decisively wipe out the Chen family, the foundation of Daliang would have been destroyed long ago.
.”
Although he knew that his inner study room was a forbidden area and no one could pry out the information here, Wang Jiuxuan was still frightened after hearing these words. Over the years, he had grown up under Wang Pingzhang's words and deeds, and he knew most of the secrets.
They were all well aware of it, except that Wang Pingzhang had not heard of the storm during the succession of the throne.
Wang Pingzhang continued: "For more than ten years, His Majesty has relied on me to frighten the powerful generals in the army. Now he finally couldn't help but want to change this situation. He wanted to reorganize Beiying, but I took a step back.
I wanted Gu Liang to replace Lu Min, but I quit again
Taking a step forward to separate the entire Western Army from your grandfather's hands, I took another step back. But human greed will never be satisfied, and Your Majesty does not want to see the Wang family become the second Pei family, so this kind of suppression and weakening
It will never stop."
He paused and said meaningfully: "I am already sixty-five years old this year, how many more years can I live?"
Wang Jiuxuan met Wang Pingzhang's profound eyes and was filled with shock for a moment.
Although sitting opposite him was an old tiger, the eyes of this old tiger at this moment clearly wanted to choose someone to devour.
"Grandpa-" he shouted slightly panicked.
Wang Pingzhang directly interrupted him and said without any doubt: "Pei Zhen thought that he could save the Pei family by faking his death, but what happened? Silent Cloud became the imperial lackey, and Xi Sidao retired to the market in despair. If Pei Yue hadn't appeared,
This alien, the empty airs of the Pei family have been swallowed up by His Majesty a long time ago. They worry too much and are indecisive to achieve great results, so we cannot learn from them."
Wang Jiuxuan gradually understood his grandfather's thoughts and said hesitantly: "Grandfather, the situation is now in the hands of the emperor."
Wang Pingzhang smiled lightly and said calmly: "Those people only have the word "rebellion" in their minds. Don't I know that there is no possibility of success in rebellion in the prosperous times? But the problem is that there is more than one way to rebel in this world. They seem to have never thought about why Liu Zheng
Can ascend to the throne of God!"
It was like a bolt of lightning exploded in Wang Jiuxuan's mind, giving him a sudden enlightenment.
Wang Pingzhang looked at his dramatic change in expression and smiled with satisfaction: "If the late emperor can die, your majesty will of course die too. Over the years, I have never advised your majesty to establish a heir, because I know that he is raising gu, or sharpening his sword, and I hope that the four
The princes are like fighting beasts, and the one who wins in the end is qualified to become the prince. It's just that our Majesty doesn't seem to have thought that there is a limit to a person's endurance, and a knife will break if it is sharpened for too long. This is what we
An opportunity for the Wang family.”
Wang Jiuxuan took a deep breath and said firmly: "The so-called opportunity is to do what happened back then again."
Wang Pingzhang laughed loudly and sighed: "You are worthy of being called my thousand-mile horse."
Wang Jiuxuan said calmly: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will completely hold the Imperial Guard Zuo Army in his hands within half a year and infiltrate other generals as much as possible."
Wang Pingzhang suggested: "Remember, the Wang family is not trying to rebel, they just want to help a poor prince get out of trouble and give him hope of becoming the emperor of the ages."
Wang Jiuxuan nodded in agreement and asked again: "Grandfather, according to the emperor's control over Kyoto, if you want to accomplish this, I'm afraid it won't be enough to rely solely on the two thousand people in your grandson's hands."
"Don't worry about this. Why do I retreat again and again? Not to mention that the children of the Pei family can't figure it out. Even His Majesty won't notice."
Wang Pingzhang then whispered something, and Wang Jiuxuan's eyes suddenly became brighter.
After a while, Wang Jiuxuan thought about today's conversation in his mind, and asked with some confusion: "Grandpa, actually my grandson still doesn't understand something. Doesn't Your Majesty know about grandfather's influence in the military? Is he really
Are you sure that relying on the emperor’s authority can suppress everyone?”
Wang Pingzhang sneered and said: "Our Majesty is too confident. Do you know why he asked Pei Yue to leave the capital immediately to join Tang Youzhi in the palace yesterday and enjoy the cheers of all the people today?"
Wang Jiuxuan sighed: "He is testing my grandfather's bottom line."
Wang Pingzhang nodded, turned to look at the slightly swaying candlelight, and said coldly: "This will not be the end, it is just a beginning. Since Your Majesty wants to use Gu Liang and Pei Yue, the pair of complicit sons-in-law, to bring down the Wang family, then before Gu Liang leaves the capital
At that time, I will send Your Majesty to see the late Emperor!"
There was a loud bang, and the murderous intention was fierce.
