Chapter 624 If this son is Henkel's lord, how should he deal with himself?
"Isn't it Cao Ah Man?"
Yuan Shao was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Then which thief can be so bold?"
"Your Majesty." Pang Ji faced Yuan Shao who was sitting high on the court steps and said solemnly: "It is the prince of Qingzhou!"
"Wang Zheng?"
When I heard this name, all the people in the huge palace suddenly disappeared, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
This is also very reasonable. Today's Wang Zheng is not only one of the strongest princes in the world in terms of territorial power. The most important thing is that his achievements in recent years have been too outstanding. Not only have he defeated Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu, etc.
Several powerful enemies, including the invincible Jizhou Army, were forced to retreat from the front under Fenggao City.
Even though not all of Yuan Tan's troops at that time were Jizhou strong crossbowmen, most of the elite Xuzhou army at that time was in Beihai. It can be said that Wang Zheng did not have a large army. If the two armies faced each other head-on, the number of winners and losers would be even higher.
Even with Yuan Shao's pride and arrogance, he also found it unpredictable.
Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "You said that the assassin was not Cao Cao, but I was half-convinced. Why did you blame Wang Zheng? Pang Ji, I want to ask you, do you think that this son is a fool and a mediocre man?
Human?"
"Of course not."
Pang Ji Zhengse said: "Wang Yukou pioneered a great cause with a man holding a sword. In three years, he conquered Qingxu and established himself in Jiangdong. He drove Liu Bei to Xiapi, killed Sun Ce in Xiang'an, captured Kong Rong in Beihai, and defeated Yuan Shu in Runan.
, Rong Qi pointed out, it can be said that there is no unstoppable success, how can he be a fool or a mediocre person to achieve such achievements?"
We have reached the last stage. Pang Ji and the real mastermind will not reveal their flaws at this time. Wang Zheng will "defeat himself", and it is impossible to go so far: "When I discovered the whereabouts of the thief, the thief was already there."
Entering the border area, with such rapid speed in just a few days, there must be someone covering and assisting along the way, so I traced the source and destroyed several foreign spies' strongholds, and this letter was obtained from one of them."
As he spoke, Yuan Shao shook his head, clearly showing his disbelief: "It was precisely you who found so much "evidence" on the day of the incident. I guessed at that time that this incident was definitely not his fault.
It’s obvious that someone deliberately framed the fault!”
The whole hall was stunned, the ministers were in an uproar, and Xu You immediately stepped out of the queue and shouted sternly: "My lord, if it is as the major general said, it is clear that Wang Zheng knew in advance that there might be civil strife in Jizhou, and took advantage of it.
Enter, head north!"
"Letter?" Yuan Shao glanced at Pang Ji suspiciously and asked, "Did you get it from the person in charge?"
Forehead.
Yuan Shao originally laughed angrily and shouted out his anger when he asked this question, but he didn't expect that what he got in return was his own ministers praising his competitors, which was a bit unpleasant for him for a while.
"This one after another is not only too obvious, it can even be said to be deliberate."
"From what I have seen, his open-mindedness and far-sightedness are very different from those of Han Gao, and his winning strategy is not inferior to that of his brilliance and military strength. He is a hero!"
Yuan Shao looked sideways in surprise and asked, "How do you say this?"
Yuan Shao nodded, seemingly unsurprised: "Why?"
"It should be Wang Zheng!"
"oh?"
"If the assassin was sent by Wang Zheng, if he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have left so many loopholes. For example, why did he arrange for the assassin from Guanri Gate, and why did he find a Qijun person to be the middleman? Could it be that?
Can't he find a person who can handle the affairs of the nine counties he governs now?"
Good guy, what about "the style of Henkel is even worse" and "not inferior to the glory and strength of his peers", these are almost exaggerated and praised to the heavens. You haven't even said such high praise to me, have you?
After being silent for a while, he continued to ask: "Since you think so highly of Wang Zheng, how can you still say that this son is the instigator behind the scenes?"
But I didn’t know that Pang Ji had also been prepared. He immediately said after hearing this: "My lord, it is precisely because the evidence is too obvious and it seems that someone has framed me, and Wang Zheng is a famous general in the world and knows the art of war well, so I feel that Wang Zheng is suspected.
Bigger!”
When everyone was afraid to take a breath, Yuan Tan looked deeply at Yuan Shao, who was above the rank. He suddenly smiled, stepped forward and said loudly: "Father, in fact, my son is back this time.
, there is also an important matter related to the military situation to report."
"Same thing!"
After placing the two letters in front of the case, Yuan Shao lowered his head and read them attentively.
Yuan Shao nodded lightly, praised, and immediately took the letter from the attendant. As soon as he saw it, he immediately frowned and understood the meaning of "you can tell at a glance" that Pang Ji said: "This word."
This analysis was reasonable and reasonable, and many of the ministers in the palace nodded secretly in agreement.
Jushou raised his head and faced Yuan Shao's condescending gaze, and the joy in his eyes flashed across.
"this"
"Go and get the congratulatory form sent by the Yangzhou mission to me!"
"oh?"
Others also came out one after another and agreed: "That's right, that's right, Wang Yukou is ambitious and must be the mastermind."
But what caught my eye was that the handwriting was uneven and messy. At best, it sounded like dragons and phoenixes dancing. At worst, it was crooked and sloppy. It was even a bit ugly (in Yuan Shao's opinion). It was definitely not written by a famous artist.
"Haha," Yuan Shao suddenly laughed, "In this case, it really doesn't matter who the mastermind of the assassination is!"
"Then what is the flaw you are talking about?"
Ju Shou gently stepped out of the queue, saluted Yuan Shao, and said with a solemn expression: "In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether the assassin is sent by Wang Zheng, Cao Cao, or other princes!"
"Because Mr. Pang just said something that I deeply agree with!"
"What Brother Ziyuan said is true!" Tian Feng responded and echoed: "Then the question is, how did Wang Yukou know in advance?"
"Excuse me, my lord, has my lord ever harbored murderous intentions towards Wang Zheng?"
"What about Cao Cao?"
"Since both of them have murderous intentions towards the Lord, does it matter who sent the assassin?"
"Do you think the assassin who killed me was sent by Wang Zheng?"
Hearing this, there was a slight stir among the officials. Yuan Tan was the governor of Qingzhou, and at this sensitive node, he said something important about military affairs? Could it be related to Xuzhou?
After saying that, he paused, took a deep look at Jushou, and asked lightly: "Who do you think the note should be?"
Hearing this, Pang Ji smiled slightly and took out something from his pocket, "I intercepted a letter, and it was from it that I discovered the truth. My lord, I can tell at a glance that Zhuzi was the mastermind behind the assassination."
, the so-called frame-up is actually a very clever method of "self-slander", so that the lord and ministers can exclude him from suspicion from the beginning!"
Yuan Shao was silent for a moment and nodded: "If you want to achieve great success, this son will have to be exterminated sooner or later!"
"That's it."
"Because in my opinion, this assassin was sent by all of them!"
Jushou smiled slightly and said word by word: "Both of these two people have plans to achieve great things. How the Lord treats them will be how they treat the Lord!"
"Looking at it, there is only one possibility, and that is Qingzhou Wang Zheng, who is the mastermind behind the assassination of the lord!"
"no."
"You are always meticulous in your work."
Jushu hopes that Yuan Shao can make the choice he wants, but he also doesn’t want to be fooled and deceived by his officials!
Yuan Shao closed his eyes, raised his head, took a deep breath, and calmed down his emotions. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again.
Staring at Yuan Shao, Jushu said sonorously and forcefully, every word of his speech: "The king's open-minded and ambitious government is far inferior to Han Gao's style, and his winning strategy is not inferior to that of Guangwu!"
Having said this, Yuan Tan paused, and then said in a serious tone: "I don't know why, but after the day of the incident, these soldiers and horses returned to Xuzhou!"
And this "should" already explains a lot.
"Excuse me, my lord, if this son is Han Gao, how will my lord handle himself?"
"This son was born a thief and bandit. He has always had no father in his eyes and no loyalty in his heart. It is not surprising that he would do such despicable things."
Yuan Shao suddenly became very calm, but his face was calm and unmoved, showing off his Qi-nurturing skills, "How do you say this?"
Although he couldn't see his lord's face or expression clearly at this moment, and Yuan Shao didn't say anything, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly grim, which made everyone guess one thing.
"Guanri Sect's rules are very strict. Without the permission of the sect leader, they will never accept commissions to commit assassination privately. The new concubine Wang Zheng recently took in, Qiao Wan, is the direct disciple of the previous leader of Guanri Sect, and she is also a disciple of the previous sect leader.
The future scheduled sect leader, so Wang Zheng cannot escape his involvement in this matter."
There was silence in the main hall. Even Xu You, Tian Feng and others who had passed the call beforehand did not expect that Ju Shou would answer like this, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
But the key point is that the shape of the pen is obviously weird and not neat, but the lines are filled with an indescribable arrogance, high-spirited, and discerning people. One can immediately think that the writer must be in a high position, and even more so.
When the spring breeze is triumphant.
The congratulatory note in Yangzhou is said to be written by Wang Zheng. Since Yuan Shao wanted to compare it with the evidence in the assassin case, and he didn't say a word for a long time, he was afraid that the result of this comparison would be negative.
Are they all written by Wang Zheng himself?
Although it was afternoon and the sun was shining warmly, the whole hall seemed to be back a few months ago, as lonely and silent as a winter day.
At this time, the ministers were discussing enthusiastically, but no one noticed this and kept chattering. After Yuan Shao glanced at the ministers, he suddenly discovered that even Tian Feng, Xu You, Shen Pei, and even Pang Ji were involved in the discussion.
Got it
But there was still a person standing quietly behind the crowd, outside the hustle and bustle, just silent.
"It's just that we gave up on this intention after our lord had a near miss and Jizhou didn't fall into the dilemma of being without a leader."
Yuan Shao did not raise his head, but waved his hand slightly.
The two counselors who had always had different opinions spoke at the same time. Naturally, they did not immediately react. Their companions in the camp were also well prepared. One of the civil servants behind Tian Feng immediately walked out, "Tian Gong's words are wrong. Yellow turban bandits are only capable of this."
How could he be so capable of deceiving some country women by bluffing and making alarmist remarks?"
"I think that it is precisely because this frame-up is so obvious that it is not frame-up!"
Yuan Shao had to admit that what Pang Ji said was quite reasonable. He actually believed from the beginning that the assassin was sent by Cao Cao. So as soon as Pang Ji reported that he had found out clearly, Yuan Shao immediately held a court meeting, not only to prepare for the discussion in the palace.
, and even prepared to launch mobilization to discuss the matter of the western expedition to Yanzhou on the spot.
But he had to admit that based on his understanding of Cao Cao, the other party naturally had a reason to frame Wang Zheng, but this method didn't seem to be like Na Si's style?
"Then let's put it another way."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao finally changed his color!
Yes, if Wang Zheng wants to be Liu Bang, who can he be?
Is it Xiang Yu or Han Xin?
"The Art of War says that what is imaginary should be real, and what is real should be imaginary."
"My lord, I just found out the whereabouts of the steward the day before yesterday, so I immediately led people to round him up. Unfortunately, the other party was very vigilant and hid poison pills in his mouth. As soon as he found out that he was surrounded and there was no hope of escape, he immediately bit the poison pill and died on the spot.
"
Pang Ji said loudly: "Just as my lord said, if the assassin was sent by Wang Zheng, with his ability, he would not let me find out the heel so easily. By the same token, if someone else wants to blame Wang Zheng,
You should also be able to plan carefully on how to make this "framing and frame-up" look more natural and shouldn't be so obvious."
Yuan Shao had seen this kind of elegance-like "calligraphy" not long ago. It was precisely because of its "ugly" and unique style that it was still fresh in his memory!
Just as the whole hall became more and more noisy, Yuan Shao finally raised his head, his face turning livid.
"A few days before my father's assassination, the sentries under my father's command reported that there were many groups of cavalry in the border counties of Taishan County. It was suspected to be the mobilization of troops and horses within the Xuzhou Army, but..."
After reading what was in his heart, his face quickly darkened, and he immediately yelled: "Here comes someone!"
Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, "What's the flaw? By the way, have you captured that steward? With your words, did the steward explain something?"
"Note," Yuan Shao said quietly, but instantly silenced the hall, "What do you think about this matter?"
"Of course Wang Zheng also considered the consequences if the assassin failed, so in order to cover up the situation, he not only arranged for a disciple of the Guanri Sect, but also a person from Qi County to be the intermediary. Unfortunately, it was precisely this steward who made a mistake!"
"Is it possible that he is good at divination and has prophetic skills?"
It's too simple and crude.
"What do you mean?"
Pang Ji said clearly: "Why did Wang Zheng arrange a disciple of the Guanri Sect? As a female assassin, she has a better chance of sneaking up on the lord, and her skills are far better than ordinary assassins. This way, she is more sure of hitting with one hit.
If General Zhang hadn't noticed the situation quickly and my lord was protected by Bai Ling, this thief's scheme would have almost succeeded!"
"Not only that, in my opinion, this is more of an attempt to strike first. Gentlemen, please consider that this son already harmed the Marquis of Yangzhai last year and even took away his inheritance. Naturally, I am worried about the revenge of the Yuan family and my lord."
His gaze was like a knife as he swept over the ministers. Every time they made eye contact with him, they unconsciously lowered their heads. He only felt that his lord was aloof, and his whole body was exuding an incomparable and awe-inspiring aura.
"Hey, I am very proud of Han Gao, but I am not inferior to Guang Wu?"
Yuan Shao murmured to himself, and his tone became more and more fierce as he spoke. He suddenly flicked his sleeves and heard a "bang" sound, knocking over the lamp in front of the case!
With a "crash", everyone in the hall fell to their knees. Everyone was prostrate on the ground. No one dared to make a sound. Only the soft sound of the lamp slowly rolling on the ground echoed in the empty hall.
The next moment, words filled with murderous intent resounded throughout the hall.
