Chapter 1414: The last piece of the puzzle
Yang Zhi is definitely a celebrity in Chu State.
He was born into a famous family. His grandfather Yang Yihe served as the chief minister of the Great Chu for decades and was in power all over the world. At that time, Yang Zhi was the number one playboy in the capital.
Of course, the so-called playboy is just abominable in the eyes of ordinary people, and in the eyes of powerful families, it is a joke. What really made him famous was that after his grandfather Yang Yihe fell, Yang Zhi, who had been dormant for several years, made a big splash and lurked into the palace to assassinate the emperor's Min Ruoying.
Although the assassination that shocked the world was not successful in the end, it caused a lot of storms in the city. What surprised everyone the most was that this person finally left and finally went to Ming Kingdom.
Over the years, Yang Zhi has led troops to fight in Ming Dynasty and became famous and has become a famous general in the world.
Whether it was Guo Jiuling or Yang Zhi, the existence Lei Wei needed to look up to in the past, and now it is the same. Looking at the little sword running around the room but agilely avoiding all obstacles, Lei Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ten years ago, when Yang Zhi assassinated the emperor, he was already a master of level nine. Now, ten years have passed, God knows that he has reached a level. Not to mention that he has not even crossed the level nine, even if he has passed the level nine, how can he be an opponent of such a person?
A person who dares to assassinate the emperor, just his courage made Lei Wei admire him and frightened.
"Young Master Yang, no, no, General Yang, put away your sword, don't scare me." Lei Wei said with a wry smile.
Yang Zhi smiled, his fingertips stood up, and Xiao Jianlin flew back with a sound, stopped at his fingertips, and Xiao Jian fell silent: "Lei, you should let them retreat a few people outside. The weather outside is very cold. Don't be frostbite after staying for a long time."
Lei Wei walked to the door, opened the door, and said, "Old Hei, you guys go to sleep. It's okay, it's my uncle, but he's from a distant room. I really don't remember it if I don't meet."
There was a voice of promise coming from outside. Lei Wei closed the door, walked back, and stood in front of Guo Jiuling with rules and regulations.
"Sit down, we two haven't seen each other for a long time." Guo Jiuling said with a smile: "Lei Wei, do you remember why I singled out you? You know, you are not the best among those people."
"Yes, the official is actually quite puzzled." Lei Wei nodded repeatedly, and involuntarily changed his name to Guo Jiuling in the first place.
"Because your name is Lei Wei!" Guo Jiuling laughed, "Nei Wei, Lei Wei, I think you should be born with the rice of the Nei Wei, so let me give you a platform first to see if you can dance. Now it seems that you have really not disappointed my expectations for you at the beginning."
Lei Wei couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that the key step he was promoted to the lieutenant was because of his good name?
"Didn't I leave later?" Guo Jiuling curled his smile, "You have no background. It's really not easy to be able to get to this point today, but it shows that I haven't read the wrong person."
"The commander is praised." Lei Wei said humbly.
"Thank you for calling me again, thank you." Guo Jiuling smiled: "The commander is still the commander, but he is no longer the commander of the inner guards. Now I am the commander of the Eagle Nest of the Ming Dynasty. I am the opponent of you. At today's court meeting, didn't Emperor Min Ruoying ask your inner guards to start dealing with us?"
In an instant, Lei Wei was brought back from the past to reality, and sweat suddenly emerged.
"Commander, how dare the subordinates have the courage to deal with you?" he said quietly.
Guo Jiuling smiled faintly: "Do you have the courage to talk about it? Lei Wei, I know, you are not a person without courage. Today, we have a good conversation. If you missed today, if you still want to deal with me, just let us go and we can compete."
Lei Wei swallowed with difficulty and looked at Guo Jiuling nervously.
"Don't worry, no matter how we negotiate today, we will not attack you, let alone threaten you with your family." Guo Jiuling waved his hand.
"Thank you, Commander." Lei Wei felt relieved.
"Lei Wei, you are the deputy commander of the inner guard. You know more than many senior officials of the Great Chu. Then tell me, what is the situation in the Great Chu now?" Guo Jiuling asked.
Lei Wei was silent for a while before he said: "There are holes and the disease is terminally ill. The economic lifeline is almost controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The officials have almost publicly interacted with the Ming Dynasty. How many of them have been pulled over is almost impossible to verify. If ordinary officials don't care, then the most terrifying thing is the county magistrate in many places with different ambitions. And what about the army?"
Lei Wei shook his head: "The Huofeng Army is the emperor's personal army, and it is still reliable, but the officials of the other army are really unsure. Can Bian Wushuang trust it? Of course not, but he controls the largest military force in the Great Chu except the Huofeng Army."
"Then do you think Da Chu is still saved?" Yang Zhi asked.
"I don't know." Lei Wei said honestly: "I have never considered this issue, I just want to do my own thing."
"Think about it now, it's still too late." Yang Zhi Ge smiled and said, "Do you know why I didn't lead troops to fight in the Ming Dynasty but ran back to Da Chu?"
"I don't know."
"You pretend you don't know, right?" Yang Zhi sneered: "It's okay to tell you the truth. I'm here to instigate the rebellion. My grandfather has been the chief minister in Da Chu for decades, and he has been in the world. Min Ruoying has been cut by him for so many years. On the surface, he has almost cut it off, but how many people know in secret? Your grandfather is not a false reputation. Lei Wei, do you believe it or not, after I go this trip, half of the county magistrates of Chu have to follow me."
Sweat on Lei Wei's forehead dripped one by one.
Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "Don't listen to him yelling around. There are indeed many people who left behind Yang Xiang, but what really made these people want is that the situation of Chu State is despair, and the Ming Dynasty is unstoppable. There is no need to hide it from you. Now Qi State is not concerned about itself, and the Ming Dynasty's attention can be completely turned to Chu State."
"Is the Ming Dynasty going to launch troops against the Great Chu?" Lei Wei's voice trembled a little.
"Does the Ming Dynasty need to use troops to the State of Chu?" Guo Jiuling sneered: "In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty's layout has gradually improved, but the last piece of the puzzle is still missing. Lei Wei, Min Ruoying wants to turn against the Ming Dynasty, so he will not be able to live in peace this winter."
"The emperor has ordered the transfer of money and grain from Anyang and Xinning to Beijing." Lei Weidao.
"Of course I know, but I can tell you now that he can't transfer a penny from these two places, and he can't transport a grain of food in it." Guo Jiuling sneered.
Lei Wei was shocked: "Zhu Yi and Wu Teng have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty?"
Guo Jiuling smiled but said nothing.
Lei Wei was almost sweating and heavy clothes were wet at this time.
"Do you know what our last piece of puzzle is?" Guo Jiuling pressed step by step.
"Is it the inner guard?" Lei Wei said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, it's the inner guard, otherwise why would we find a way to kill Yang Qing?" Guo Jiuling laughed.
"Captain Yang is dead?" Although he had a premonition, Lei Wei was still thrilling when he heard the exact news from Guo Jiuling's mouth.
"Of course he is dead. He died in Jinghu." Guo Jiuling said calmly: "He went to kill Ning Zhiwen, but he didn't know that we were just trying to take this opportunity to kill him. He thought he had won ten thousand goals, but he didn't know that since he stepped into Jinghu, he had already embarked on a path of no return. Kill Yang Qing, the last piece of puzzle was basically half completed, and half was still there. Do you understand now?"
"Is it me?" Lei Wei's eyes were already a little confused.
"Yes, Lei Guard, why are you willing to follow me again? If you want, then the position of the inner guard commander is yours." Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "Although the death of the inner guard Yang Qing was severely damaged, I still know how much foundation the inner guard created by Commander An and I had. I need an inner guard who serves us. I need at the right time, the inner guard becomes deaf and blind, which will inevitably require the power of the inner guard."
"I, how can I become the commander of the inner guard? Although Yang Yi is gone, Tong Qiang's strength is only stronger than me, not worse than me." Lei Wei said.
"So, did you agree to follow me?" Guo Jiuling asked with a smile.
Lei Wei smiled bitterly: "Commander, although I have been separated for many years, I still remember the style of the commander's work. If I don't agree, even if I don't die today, I will definitely be on the street tomorrow. You promised not to move my family, but you didn't unable to move me. But if I die, my family's fate will be very miserable. There are many people I offended."
Yang Zhi laughed: "It's true that he is very smart. Mr. Guo, you really didn't see the wrong person. Lei Wei, since you already understand, will you sign the right thing?"
Take out a volume of documents from your arms, put them in front of Lei Wei, and spread them open.
Lei Wei sighed, not reading the content above at all. He knew what it said without looking at. If he dared to regret it, he would probably have signed the item in front of the emperor. Then he would not have died alone, but would have been confiscated and exterminated.
"Of course I will sign." He said without hesitation.
"Very good." Guo Jiuling nodded and took out something from his arms, "With this, of course you can become the commander of the inner guard."
Lei Wei picked it up curiously and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Da Ming's list of secret spies in Shangjing?"
"Not only are some lists of secret spies, but also their garrisons. We have prepared a lot of money for you. I believe Min Ruoying, who is short of money, will be very happy."
"The commander, the emperor hated the Ming Dynasty to the core. Once these people are captured, they are afraid they will die." Lei Wei hesitated and said: "If these people die in my hands, will I not..."
