I took the tissue paper presented by Dong Que and looked at it carefully. While reading, I recorded part of it on another piece of paper. Dong Que had already told me what happened. Although Dong Que's revenge methods were a bit cruel,
In comparison, my methods were probably more vicious, so I didn't blame Dong Que. Not to mention the deep hatred between him and Li Hanyou, I always believed that everyone should be responsible for what they did, and I
I also think that instead of waiting for God to retaliate, it is better to take action myself. Otherwise, why should I be in trouble with the prince of a country?
After I sorted out the secret rudder of Fengyi Gate that could be handed over to King Yong, I sent someone to invite His Highness King Yong. In the short interval before King Yong came, I said to Xiao Shunzi: "Say, Wei
How should we deal with adult matters?"
Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said: "I see that Wei Ying is so cruel and ruthless, even if you keep Mr. Wei, it will be of no use. Moreover, Mr. Wei has a deep love between father and son. I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with Wei Ying with all my heart, so why not just kill Mr. Wei?"
, so that the Jinxiu Alliance can gain the trust of Fengyi Sect, I don’t know what the young master thinks.”
I thought about it and said: "Although Wei Guan did not participate in the rebellion, as the head of the civil service, he was lax in running the family and should be punished. Moreover, I think he was not completely unaware of Wei Ying's affairs, but he just did not expect it.
Wei Ying would only participate in the rebellion. He was still optimistic about the success of the crown prince's succession. Wei Ying was smart. If Wei Guan was alive, he would naturally kill Wei Ying's relatives. If Wei Guan died, his father's students would be old.
, many people can't help but have some affection for Wei Ying, but Wei Ying is too smart. As the saying goes, a little affection does not affect the overall situation. At most, it will be when Fengyimen withdraws from Dayong this time.
It's just of some use. Besides, who dares to show favoritism to His Highness King Yong's sword? Let's just let Wei Guan commit suicide. There's no need to worry about it. He just needs to let the guards who are monitoring him relax a little and say a few gossips. Don't worry.
Couldn't Wei Guan succeed in committing suicide?"
At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly winked. I knew that His Highness King Yong had arrived, so I didn’t say anything more, got up and went out to greet him. In the distance, King Yong walked up accompanied by Shi Yu and Xiahou Yuanfeng. I saw King Yong.
From the look on His Highness's face, I knew that he must be in a good mood. I stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, please come and I will be punished with death." While begging for forgiveness, I looked at Xiahou Yuanfeng. When did King Yong trust him so much?
?
King Yong also saw Jiang Zhe's hesitant look. He was also a little annoyed and regretted that he should not have brought Xiahou Yuanfeng here. However, this person has been very capable these days. With his help, he was able to deal with the prince in the palace.
The suppression of the forces went very smoothly, and the most rare thing is that this person is very considerate. Two days ago, Jiang Zhe entered the palace privately. If not for the news from Xiahou Yuanfeng, he would not have had time to smooth things over. Therefore, recently, he has gradually
Yuan Feng was included in his confidants. For this reason, Shi Yu and others were dissatisfied. Could it be that Jiang Zhe was also dissatisfied because of this? King Ai Yong smiled awkwardly and said: "Suiyun, you have been recuperating in the past few days.
How about it? I, the king, have something important to discuss with you?"
After I asked King Yong and others to sit down, I presented the compiled list to King Yong and said: "Your Highness, here are the secret rudders of Fengyi Gate that I found. Please seize the opportunity to control these secret rudders. However,
It's best not to take action immediately, lest it arouses the Fengyi Sect's suspicion of the subordinate spies."
King Yong took the list and looked at it for a long time, then sighed: "Suiyun, the spies under your command seem to be more powerful than those in the hands of my father and the king. I only know about three or four out of ten of these secret rudders, and these days
I just discovered it.”
I heard the implication of King Yong's words, and he actually wanted to target my spies. However, Tianji Pavilion and Jinxiu Alliance are not suitable to be handed over to King Yong now. After all, if someone discovers that King Yong and these two
In order to dispel King Yong’s thoughts and change the topic, I sat down, gently shook my folding fan and said: "As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, there are five types of time: there is cause, there is time.
In the inner world, there is the opposite world, there is the dead world, and there is the living world. When it comes to the science of using the world, His Highness is very good at it. I once heard Mr. Dong say that whenever His Highness marches with troops, he must summon the local natives wherever he goes.
Inquiring in person can be said to be a good use of cause and effect. On that day, Dayong installed Liang Wan in Nanchu. It was said that it was a dead end. Through Liang Wan, Dayong widely bribed and intimidated the officials of Nanchu, which can be said to be an insider. When His Highness founded the Guards
, setting up a scout battalion in the army, responsible for reconnaissance of the army and the enemy, is a living thing. As for the counter-insurgency, didn't His Highness use counter-insurgency tactics in Shu in the past, which forced Prince De to rush to Luocheng? "
Li Zhi said with some embarrassment: "How can I compare to Sui Yun in Yongjian's ability?" He glanced at Xia Hou and said that it was better not to let him know some things, so he did not say any more. In fact, he was very interested in Jiang Zhe's Yongjian.
He was so impressed with his ability that if it weren't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could the prince be so unruly? If it weren't for Jiang Zhe's arrangement, how could he mobilize people like Xiahou Yuanfeng to his advantage and successfully reverse the situation. Since ancient times, famous generals have only been good at
Use your own power to command, but Jiang Zhe is good at using the enemy's power to do things for himself. Naturally, Li Zhi could not learn this miraculous skill of using time.
I smiled and said: "The shortcoming of His Highness's room is that he only knows how to target the enemy, so His Highness is very clear about the affairs around the prince, but he doesn't know much about the affairs of the neutral Lord Wei and General Qin.
, that’s why we lost the opportunity in the Hunting Palace Incident. If nothing else, Your Highness should know by now that I have never reported some personal matters to Your Highness, but Your Highness has never been suspicious, although this is the benefit of Your Highness’s lack of suspicion in employing people.
But from now on, His Highness will become the monarch of Dayong, and all the talents in the world will come to seek refuge with His Highness. Doesn’t it mean that His Highness must be trustworthy in employing people and not use those who are suspicious? Therefore, I suggest that Your Highness should set up another department in the imperial court to serve the government and the public.
Only by setting up eyes and ears to supervise all officials and subjects can we ensure the stability of the monarch's power and the stability of the country."
Shi Yu frowned and said, "If this happens, wouldn't it make people in both the government and the public panic? Moreover, if this happens, those who hold the power of supervision will inevitably have too much power." As he spoke, he looked at me with a vague suspicion.
Apparently there is suspicion that I want to master this institution.
I smiled lightly and said: "It depends on how His Highness arranges it. As long as His Highness separates the power of supervision from the power of disposal, this organization will not have all the power in the world. As for whether it will make people panic and follow the road.
It all depends on how His Highness behaves. As long as His Highness does not use the information obtained through surveillance to convict people, then why are people panicking? As long as it has nothing to do with the overall situation or is not an act of rebellion, His Highness will just laugh it off after reading the information.
If the stakes are high, then you can prepare for a rainy day."
Li Zhi listened attentively, with a fascinating gleam in his eyes from time to time. After I finished speaking, he said: "I have long planned to set up a supervisory department in the ban, and Suiyun is willing to take charge of it."
I smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, although Zhe is very good at using time, such things require a careful person to do it. I have always been careless, how can I take on such a heavy responsibility? Moreover, I have recently recovered from a serious illness, and I also want to take good care of my body."
, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do this kind of hard work.”
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Shi Yu and Xiahou Yuanfeng. They originally thought that Jiang Zhe wanted to control the supervisory power himself, but unexpectedly he declined. Shi Yu felt a little guilty and thought to himself, I should have known that Jiang Zhe was a good person.
A person with a noble nature has never had any thoughts of fighting for power and gain. However, Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes were blazing. This Supervision Department was simply established for him. He was confident that he could be qualified for such a dark position, and this position must be an official position.
He is humble and has great power. If someone else takes the position, King Yong will inevitably worry about losing power. This is probably the reason why Jiang Zhe resolutely refused. However, he was originally from the prince's side, and now King Yong's subordinates control the military and political power.
Basically everyone is wary of him. If he takes up this position, King Yong can naturally rest assured, because he only has King Yong as his backer. In order to maintain the rule of King Yong, he must be working hard, and he does not dare to ignore it, nor dare to
A heart of betrayal arises.
At this time, Li Zhi also thought of this. He couldn't help but look at Xiahou Yuanfeng. Xiahou Yuanfeng responded quickly and immediately showed a loyal and loyal look. Li Zhi nodded lightly and said nothing.
I saw all this interaction, and I couldn't help but feel happy. In fact, even if I didn't say anything, King Yong would sooner or later think of establishing an internal supervision agency. I proposed it on my own initiative, but I refused to be the head of this agency.
, King Yong will definitely trust me more, and King Yong will definitely think that Xiahou Yuanfeng is a good candidate, because he can only be prosperous and wealthy if he is loyal to King Yong. And Xiahou Yuanfeng is also a good candidate for me
, although he is capricious and has a vicious mind, he is also a person who knows current affairs. He knows how powerful I am. Unless King Yong has murderous intentions towards me, he will never come to embarrass me.
After a while, King Yong came to his senses and said: "Suiyun, in a few days, my king's crown prince ceremony will be held. You are the first to do so, so you have to come and watch the ceremony."
Naturally, I happily agreed and asked, "Your Highness, after you become the crown prince, you can officially supervise the country. Do you have any arrangements?"
King Yong said: "I have informed my father that Wei Guan, the former Zhongshu Ling, is no longer able to serve as prime minister because he is suspected of treason. My father wants Zheng Xia, the servant, to be promoted to Zhongshu Ling. I have agreed. Father."
I also agree that Ziyou should be appointed as the minister’s right servant."
I raised my hand and said: "Your Highness is indeed a wise man. Although Mr. Ziyou is a complementary talent, if he joins the Zhongshu Province now, his qualifications are still relatively young, and the people in the government and the public are currently unstable. Zheng Shizhong is highly respected, and taking over the Zhongshu Order can suppress him."
To live up to the situation. And Shangshu Zuopushe is also one of the complementary ones, and the current Shangshu Ling is originally a cowardly person. Ziyou can act freely in the Shangshu Province as the Shangshu Zuopushe. The Shangshu Province directly governs the six departments. His Highness is
We can take the opportunity to reorganize the six departments, and in a few years, Mr. Ziyou will be able to enter the Zhongshu Province. But in this case, who will hold the position of Shizhong? This position needs to be filled by someone who is strict and dares to remonstrate."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Sui Yun really understands the meaning. Zheng Shizhong issued the order in his palm, which is exactly what everyone expected. I have already made plans to appoint Wei Guogong Cheng Shu as the new Shizhong."
I was stunned for a moment and said: "Wei Guogong?" I thought of Wei Guogong Cheng Shu's always lazy look.
Shi Yu said with a smile: "Exactly, although Wei Guogong is usually a bit cynical, he is loyal and upright. Although he was a military attache and became a civil servant, His Highness did not want him to go to the battlefield again.
Let the emperor rest assured."
I thought about it and found that Duke Wei Guogong was indeed the most suitable candidate. I thought back when Fengyi Clan was so powerful, he was someone who dared to speak out for justice. Moreover, he had a close relationship with the emperor and was also a good middleman.
To avoid conflicts between Zheng Xia and Shi Yu.
King Yong became excited and said: "In addition, the general has decided to resign from his official position, and I have appointed General Qin Yong as the commander of the imperial army. In this way, both my father and I can feel at ease."
I smiled slightly, it seems that pure ministers like Zheng Xia, Qin Yi and Cheng Shu are the real evergreen trees.
At this time, Li Zhi suddenly glanced at me and said uneasily: "But there is one thing that makes me feel sorry for you. I once asked my father to grant a marriage to Changle, but my father was worried that you were weak and sick, so he refused.
Promise to marry, but don’t worry, as long as your health improves in a year or two, I will definitely ask my father for marriage again. And you don’t have to worry, my father has already decreed that Changle should be named Princess Changle of the Ning Kingdom, and a building should be built for her.
Mansion, it seems that my father will not force Changle to marry someone else. You are still young. If you wait for another year or two, you will be able to live in harmony."
I secretly laughed in my heart. I had known that King Yong would find time to tell me about this matter, so as to comfort me not to lose heart, so I made a disappointed look. During the following conversation, I seemed to be distracted, and my words began to be a little confused. Finally, King Yong
I had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. After King Yong left, I immediately found Xiao Shunzi and told him that the plan could begin.
In order to quickly stabilize the situation, the ceremony to establish the crown prince was held on October 25. On that day, King Yong Sima Jiangzhe was ill in bed due to a cold and was unable to attend the ceremony. So he was an ordinary carriage.
When I left the city, no one thought that I was in the carriage. I had already changed into an ordinary green shirt. I played with the folding fan in my hand while thinking about whether there would be any flaws. When King Yong ascended the throne,
It was my decision to leave a long time ago. It was a matter of grudges. There is no use staying with His Highness King Yong. There are many military and political talents around His Highness King Yong. Besides, just for the sake of His Highness, I
The outstanding performance in the hunting palace incident not only made people like Master Cizhen jealous, but also Zheng Xia, Qin Yi and others could not help but feel chilly. If I continue to stay with King Yong, they will always be worried about His Highness King Yong's use.
Because of my "insidious" plan, rather than letting them doubt King Yong's upright intentions, I might as well leave. With an identity like King Yong's, there is no need to leave a shadow of a person who favors evil and scheming people. So I have long since
I decided to leave, but Emperor Yong's refusal to engage in marriage was also one of the motivations for me to leave.
So I took advantage of the fact that everyone in Prince Yong's Mansion was busy with Prince Yong's enthronement ceremony. I first asked Xiao Shunzi to pick up Roulan, and then while the guards were relaxed, I left with the help of Chen Zhen, Han Wuji and others.
Chang'an, along the way, I have arranged many false appearances, and I can definitely disappear into the sea of people smoothly.
Gently stroking Roulan's sleeping little face, I sighed. My only regret is that I have no fate with the princess. Now Princess Changle of Ning Kingdom has a noble status. How can I bear to let her wander around the world with me? What's more, maybe I am
I will never return to Dayong again.
After leaving Mingde Gate, I remembered the scene of being imprisoned, captured by King Yong, and taken to Chang'an. I couldn't help but smile. Although it was only two years ago, Chang'an left such a profound impression on my heart. Thinking about it,
, no matter where I go, I will always think about the scenery of Chang'an. I don't know how long I have been walking, but suddenly, Xiao Shunzi's voice floats in and says: "Master, a noble person is here to see you off!"
I was stunned. Except for my subordinates, no one knew that I left Chang'an. How could anyone see me off? When I opened the curtain, my eyes immediately froze. In the pavilion on the roadside in front, there was a
A woman in plain clothes stood in the pavilion, with tall temples and a large emerald green cloak. Next to her stood an elegant woman in her thirties, and a handsome boy in his teens. I exclaimed, that
The three of them turned out to be Princess Changle, Zhou Shangyi and Xiao Liuzi beside her. What was going on? With the support of Xiao Shunzi, I jumped out of the car, walked into the pavilion, and asked urgently: "Your Highness
, why did you come to see me off?"
Princess Changle said bitterly: "If Xiao Shunzi hadn't told me, would you have gone away from now on, regardless of the deep love of this palace?"
I said awkwardly: "Your Highness, from now on, Zhe will be a commoner, but the princess has a distinguished status. Not to mention anything else, just the title of Ningguo can make the princess glorious for the rest of her life. I-"
Princess Changle stretched out her slender hand, covered my mouth, and said sweetly: "I don't care about any glory or wealth, I only know that I have no debt to Dayong anymore. My father, the queen, and my queen are in good health, and my brother will fulfill his filial piety."
, if you don’t mind it, I’m willing to let you go and live a peaceful life from now on, becoming a loving couple among the people.”
I could no longer suppress the ecstasy in my heart. It was not that I had never thought about taking Changle far away, but the emperor’s title made me retreat. The title of Princess Changle of the Ning Kingdom was not obtained casually. Any daughter of the royal family could get it.
The title of princess, but this title only has two words, and the title of Ningguo was given because of Princess Changle’s great contribution in suppressing the rebellion. There are only a few princesses who have received such titles in the past. So I gave up.
I never thought that Princess Changle would be willing to abandon such an honor and fly away with me.
I took a step forward, held Princess Changle's hand, and said, "Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for your favor. Although Zhe is just a commoner, he will definitely make the princess happy."
Princess Changle's face was bright red, and she whispered: "If I don't believe you, why should I obey you calmly? But don't call me Your Highness Princess. My name is Li Zhen. From now on, you can call me Zhen."
Son."
I felt nothing but tenderness in my heart, and whispered: "Zhen'er, I will definitely not let you down."
Princess Changle couldn't help but her eyes turned red when she thought about the bitter love that she had been in love for so many years, and she threw herself into my arms. I hugged Princess Changle's delicate body tightly with one hand, but my eyes looked gratefully at Xiao Shunzi.
, if he hadn't made his own decision, I'm afraid I would really have to die alone. Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said nothing.
I helped Princess Changle get into the carriage, while Zhou Shangyi and Xiao Liuzi got into the carriage at the back. They were both loyal to Princess Changle, and they didn't want to be punished for losing the princess, so they went with us.
The carriage set off again. I held Princess Changle's delicate hand and felt filled with joy. God had favored me after all. After losing Piao Xiang, I got such a close lover. As for what will happen to the Emperor and King Yong
I have long since stopped caring about the reaction. Anyway, I don’t plan on going back to the scheming officialdom.
King Yong, who was officially appointed as the crown prince, returned to the palace and soon received the news of Jiang Zhe's disappearance. He hurried to Hanyuan, only to see that all the guards were restrained and all the rewards given by King Yong in the garden were taken away.
It was sealed and not taken away. All documents and letters were listed in catalogues, some indicating where they were collected, and some indicating that they had been burned. On the desk, there was a letter from Jiang Zhe. After Li Zhi opened it, he only
I saw a Qijue little poem written on it.
"The gold on the waistband has been hidden, and the information contained in it is also ordinary. The world wants to know that Hanyuan guest is just a scholar from Jiangnan."
Li Zhi sighed, sat down on the chair, and said, "Can't I still convince you?"
At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng said: "Your Highness, there is some news that may make Your Highness happy?"
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows to express doubts, and Xiahou Yuanfeng said with a smile: "I just got the news that Lord Jiang had left, so I asked someone to inquire about it. It seems that Princess Changle left the palace today, and the princess only brought Zhou Shangyi and a young eunuch with her.
Some guards, but these guards responsible for protection have already returned to the palace to plead guilty, because they were restrained and finally escaped and came back to report. Her Royal Highness the Princess is also missing."
Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he said, "You mean Changle eloped with Yun."
Xiahou Yuanfeng said respectfully: "I dare not make any arbitrary judgments, but Your Highness, if there is no news about the princess, she should have left with Mr. Jiang."
Li Zhi laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Changle finally has the courage. As long as Suiyun becomes Gu's sister-in-law, Gu will be relieved. Sooner or later he will come back." He frowned and said again: "But what about the father?
I'm afraid he will get angry, so I have to go to the palace quickly to persuade him."
At this time, Shi Yu hurriedly walked in and said: "Your Highness, the border army reported that Long Tingfei led his army out of Mingshui Pass and invaded Zhenzhou. The military situation is urgent."
Li Zhi raised his sword eyebrows and said: "As expected, he is here. Immediately pass the order. I will fight in person."
Shi Yu said decisively: "Your Highness, this is not possible. In the past, you were the prince who led the troops, so you could naturally lead the troops in battle. Now you are the crown prince of the country, and you are also responsible for supervising the country. Now that the domestic situation has not been calmed down, Your Highness must control it in the capital.
The overall situation, otherwise it will be a small loss, and His Highness can no longer put himself in danger, His Highness's identity is no longer the same."
Li Zhi frowned. He was a little uncomfortable with the change in his identity. He was troubled for a moment. Who else could lead the army besides himself? There were many generals in Dayong, but he had to choose one who could resist Long Ting.
It's not that easy for a handsome man to fly. Seeing Jiang Zhe's note on the table next to him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Suiyun, why did you leave me alone at this time?"
At this time, Xiahou Yuanfeng suddenly said: "Your Highness, there seems to be some words at the back of the letter."
Li Zhi was stunned, and stepped forward to pick up the letter. Sure enough, there was a line of small characters on the back, which read: "The Northern Han Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to raise troops and invade the country. The only person who can be the leader is Li Xian, King of Qi. Your Highness sincerely invites you. His Highness, King of Qi, will definitely bow his head and obey orders."
"
Li Zhi held the letter and was stunned for a long time. His expression changed a lot and he didn't speak for a long time. At this time, a guard rushed over and said: "Your Highness, your lords are already waiting in the main hall for your Highness to discuss matters."
Li Zhi came to his senses, smiled slightly, and said: "I'll go now, and pass on Gu's order. This cold garden will be closed from now on, and no one will be allowed to enter without permission. All the servants in the garden will stay and take good care of everything here.
Don't slack off." After saying that, Li Zhi flicked his sleeves and walked out. There were still important things waiting for him to deal with.
At this time, it was already late autumn. The bright moon was in the sky and the breeze filled the garden. Li Zhi was walking in the cold garden, but his heart was full of pride. Northern Han, Southern Chu, just wait, my Dayong cavalry will come soon.

The third part has come to an end, and Jiang Zhe has also retired to the world. The ending may be a bit rushed, but I have tried my best. After all, I am not good at writing emotional dramas. I hope everyone will be satisfied, but this book will not end here. What follows?
I will take a two-week break and then start updating the fourth book, The War of the Northern Han Dynasty. I hope that everyone will not hesitate to post book reviews during my hiatus, and you might as well make some suggestions. I will come up often to read the book reviews carefully. If you think that the reader
Your suggestions are reasonable and I will adopt them. The paper is short and the story is long. I don’t know what to say. I can only thank the readers for their support and care.
