Devil’s Advent

Chapter 649: The mastermind behind the scenes!

Sun Youdao didn't know who was standing behind the palace,

Because he left early,

This is the position of Grand Tutor, and it was also the official title that he was forced to reach a cooperation with Zheng Fan last time.

In fact,

After helping his son with logistics and dealing with the Great Yan's conquest of Chu, Taifu Sun took a break again.

He really didn't want to go out to do errands anymore, and he was already very tired. What he wanted to do now was to have his old concubine to accompany him every day, and finish his last, few remaining days.

stop and go,

Everyone, stop and stop.

Zheng Fan is very clear about this.

Leaving Yanjing and entering the back garden, Yanhuang said that he wanted to cultivate. In fact, no one would really think that Yanhuang had put down all his thoughts and was cultivating.

But although Taifu Sun is in Yingdu, he has already understood his thoughts in all aspects.

Therefore, when Zhao Wenhua and the others were doing something, they didn't involve him at all.

But after all, Sun Youdao was once the Prime Minister of the Dacheng Kingdom, and he had achieved a great career with Situ Lei. This kind of person, his sensitivity is really unimaginable to outsiders.

According to the Queen Mother,

Informing this Lord Hou of the news of the mastermind behind the scenes is the best bargaining chip I can offer at this time.

But in Sun Youdao's view,

This is the real way to take death!

Who dares to use the palace to do such calculations, and what's more, what does it mean to plot against this Lord Hou?

First, people have confidence that things can be done seamlessly;

two,

if something goes wrong,

He can still have the confidence to ensure that he is safe and sound.

The character of this Marquis is one that will be revenged, and Sun Youdao understands this in his heart;

In fact, there are only a few saints in this world, and those few are still imaginary numbers. Most people, if they have the opportunity to take revenge, the so-called ten years is not too late, and they are just a fig leaf. What's more, revenge doesn't last overnight.

But what if you have to endure and you can't retaliate at this time?

Some secrets, if you don't tell them, you can live, but if you tell them, you will die.

Because if you say it, it will only lead to a bigger secret. When this big secret cannot be solved openly, you must keep it secret. No one can keep a secret better than a dead person.

So,

In desperation,

Sun Youdao even called out the Queen Mother's name,

even,

Even because of this, it would destroy the good relationship with the Hou family that the Sun family had been maintaining before, and they didn't care about it.

As the saying goes,

There is no better way to know a son than to be a father, and vice versa.

Sun Ying had already guessed that her father would do this.

But Sun Liang,

Still a little late.

The reason for coming late is that one of Sun Liang's concubines gave birth today.

So, today Sun Liang didn't take any official duties, so he stayed at home and waited. After the child was born, he went to find his father to formally name him, only to find out that his father was sent to the palace by Pingxi Houye.

can only say,

It is really reasonable for such a thing to happen to a person who is not talented enough.

Immediately, I thought of Sun Liang, who was told by my elder brother before. After learning about this, I was shocked. At this moment, the joy of the birth of a new life in the family was directly washed away, because it is very likely that the family will be neat and tidy. Go down again.

Sun Liang rode a horse and rushed to the palace.

But the guards outside the palace stopped him. He yelled and wanted to go in, but he couldn't.

Fortunately, after Gou Moli led the army into the city at this time, he led Kong Mingde to enter the palace, one is to return the waist card, and the other is to wait for the next order.

Seeing that Sun Liang was stopped outside with no official uniform and messy hair, Gou Moli finally took him in together.

The three of them just walked to the door of the meeting hall,

He heard Sun Youdao's loud shout.

Sun Liang was so frightened that his hands and feet became cold, and he rushed to the meeting hall.

Gou Moli stretched out his hand to stop Kong Mingde, and motioned Kong Mingde to wait outside.

Kong Mingde also understood that there were some things that he could not hear, and it would be a bad thing if he heard them, so he retreated to the gate of the courtyard.

And that end,

After Sun Liang rushed in, he immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Lord Pingxi,

road:

"Master Hou, Lord Hou, my father is old and mentally weak, and he is afraid of making inappropriate remarks. Please forgive me, Lord Hou, please forgive me."

At this moment, Sun Youdao didn't care about his son's appearance and words and deeds. In fact, after shouting that sentence, he felt stagnation of Qi and blood, chest tightness, and passed out on the ground.

And at this time,

Gou Moli also just walked in, he first went to Sun Youdao to check, raised his head, and shook his head at Zheng Houye who was sitting there, indicating that he was not dead.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a human pill that the blind man had made from his pocket, and put it into Sun Youdao's mouth.

Subsequently,

He came to Sun Liang, patted Sun Liang on the shoulder, and said:

"Hey, go and take care of your father."

Sun Liang turned his head to look, only to find that his father had fainted, Sun Liang immediately crawled over to check his father's condition, saw that his father was still breathing and had a pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into tears .

Lord Zheng frowned slightly,

Gou Moli leaned forward and shouted in a low voice:

"Why are you crying, why don't you help Mrs. Sun go down to rest!"

Sun Liang wiped away his tears, nodded, then looked at Lord Zheng Hou who was sitting there, nodded vigorously again, picked up his father, and went down.

In the meeting hall, it finally became quiet again.

The episode ends,

Next,

Time to get into the topic.

But before that, Zheng Fan still told Gou Moli:

"Go and arrange for the soldiers and horses to be deployed."

"Yes, my lord."

Gou Moli is a three-legged cat kung fu, but no one would think that the former savage king, he can't fight, he can't form troops.

In fact, Gou Moli lost to King Jingnan at the Wangjiang River, not far from here. It was also because Lord Zheng Hou rushed thousands of miles to attack Xueguan and King Jingnan succeeded in suppressing the Northern Army and Jingnan Army. Relying on iron cavalry for decisive battles;

At that time, the Savage King was actually locked up both strategically and tactically.

The badge was not returned, so Gou Moli walked out of the conference hall again, and ordered He Chunlai to wait on him, while he took Kong Mingde to arrange Yingdu's defense.

After He Chunlai came in,

He just stood in the corner, with his head half down, motionless.

And Lord Zheng Hou leaned forward slightly, looking at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the ground,

The meaning is very simple,

Go on.

The Queen Mother was a little at a loss. She believed in Sun Youdao. Although Sun Youdao retreated disheartened after Yingdu joined Dayan, she was not stupid. She knew who would really treat her family at the last critical moment. good.

But facing Master Zheng's gaze, it was difficult for her to resist.

The former queen of a country,

At this time, he was forced to such a point.

He Chunlai, who was standing in the corner, didn't feel any fluctuations in his heart, even though he was from Jin Dynasty.

In fact, like the Juggernaut, he was also watching and pondering, thinking about how to go as a Jin person when his country was ruined and his family was destroyed.

He may not have the deep and thorough understanding of the Juggernaut, but at least he has seen that the nobles of Jin Dynasty who were once aloof,

For example, the family in front of me,

Looking at them now,

you will feel,

The land of the Three Jins was ruled by the Yan people,

It really makes sense.

"Come on."

"The subordinates are here!"

He Chunlai immediately agreed, because he was the only one in the meeting room.

Zheng Fan pointed at He Chunlai,

road;

"My subordinates are good cooks. Presumably the prince should be hungry tonight. Go and prepare a table of meals. It doesn't need to be complicated, but try to be as delicate as possible."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

He is good at cooking, He Chunlai heaved a sigh of relief.

"Prepare another glass of poisonous wine, and after we finish our meal, we can send our lord on the road."

He Chunlai suddenly raised his head, a little suspicious that he had heard wrong.

He felt that the so-called Jin people's king and queen mother were very unattractive, but did his Lord Hou really treat them like pheasants and kill them if he said so?

But He Chunlai still bit the tip of his tongue,

road;

"yes!"

He Chunlai has gone out, and the servants of the palace are now being investigated by the secret agent Si Yingdu who is at the helm of Zhao Yang's real estate. There is no one in the kitchen, but He Chunlai can handle it all by himself just for supper.

In the chamber,

After ordering,

Lord Zheng closed his eyes,

He leaned back on the throne.

don't look at people,

not talking,

Let the atmosphere in this meeting hall be quiet.

actually,

The quiet atmosphere at this time is the most terrifying and tormenting.

The feeling of waiting to die can drive people crazy;

On the contrary, the kind of joyously shouting "I will still be a hero in twenty years" and then "swish" the knife is the real enviable joy.

I don't threaten you repeatedly,

I've made a decision for you,

I refuse to communicate with you,

yourself,

Let's see.

It's not that Marquis Zheng is pretending to play some psychological warfare, but since he has come to this position and stood at this height, he will naturally have this kind of aura.

As Lord Zhenghou himself said earlier,

The surname Situ, he killed two;

He also abolished the prince of the Ji family;

He went to the capital of the Qian Kingdom, he went there, he scraped off the golden body in the Imperial Palace of the Jin Dynasty, and he passed down the order to kill the captives under the Yupan City;

For the rest, there are too many.

You mother and son think for yourself,

Ben Hou,

Are you trying to scare you?

This quiet atmosphere made Situ Yu the first to lose his breath. It was clear that He Chunlai hadn't come yet, but Situ Yu seemed to have smelled the aroma of food.

He turned his head and looked at his mother.

The queen mother was also engaged in a fierce psychological struggle at this time.

finally,

Both mother and son couldn't hold on anymore.

The queen mother said;

"Lord Hou..."

Zheng Fan still kept his eyes closed and didn't move.

"It's a nobleman in Yanjing City, he is..."

Zheng Fan remained silent.

The Queen Mother had already cried before, but this time, she cried again.

But like a child, crying and crying, she gradually stopped crying when she found that no one paid attention to her.

The queen mother bit her lip,

road:

"During the founding of Dacheng, the late emperor had been in correspondence with a nobleman in Yanjing;

When Dayan trampled Helian's family and heard about others, there was a change in the wild people in Xueyuan. The first emperor first informed the nobleman of Yanjing in a letter that he planned to lead the army north to stop the wild people.

Then,

The first emperor assembled the domestic elite and went to Xueguan, while Dayan's army stood on the front line and stopped moving eastward. "

Lord Zheng Hou slowly opened his eyes,

He has a great sense of substitution in this narration.

Because at that time, Lord Zheng Hou was the guard of Shengle City.

At that time, Dayan's iron cavalry was in full swing, and everyone was guessing when they would continue to advance eastward, defeating Situ's family in one go, and unify the land of the Three Jins.

In the end, it was precisely because of Situ Lei's move to completely put the rear in your hands that the Yan army was informed from above that they were not allowed to go east to provoke.

later,

With the unfavorable battle of the Situ family's expedition to the snow field,

Lao Tian led 30,000 elite Jingnan troops, walked northward from Shengle City, crossed the Tianduan Mountains, and made an expedition to the snowfield.

That battle was actually to support and respond to the Situ family.

At that time, there were rumors that when Situ's family finished fighting the savages, Situ Lei would surrender his national status, submit to Dayan, and become a vassal in the territory of Dayan, that is, a prince.

actually,

to be honest,

In the past few years, Dayan has fought so many battles in Jin, against savages and Chu people, and spent a lot of money and food, and almost emptied the national power, and finally established the Pingxihou Mansion in the east of Jin;

to be honest,

It is to fill the hole that Situ Lei broke in the first place.

According to Emperor Yan's vision,

Situ Lei's Situ family has remained submissive to Dayan and sits in the east of Jin, which can help Dayan resist threats from the snowy plains and Chu people, while Dayan can calmly gather troops and attack southward!

can only say,

Time is fate,

Zheng Houye, who had just won a battle with Lao Tian at the beginning, also found it difficult to understand when he learned that Xueguan was breached.

Situ Lei's counterattack has been wonderful all his life, but that one stain cannot be erased;

Don't care about putting the blame on rebellion, Situ Yi and Situ Jiong brothers, if you fail to defend Xueguan, it is your biggest failure.

To a certain extent, Emperor Yan should have had a few extra years and extra national power to calmly arrange to deal with the large piece of fat in Qianguo, but he was delayed abruptly.

this delay,

It is the time, destiny, and longevity, waiting for no one.

"The first emperor has always kept in touch with that nobleman from Yanjing..."

Lord Zheng Hou has been listening to the queen mother's narration,

He didn't take it for granted that the nobleman was referring to Emperor Yan.

how to say,

Situ Lei, even in his peak period, did not have the qualifications to bargain with Emperor Yan on an equal footing.

listen listen

Zheng Fan felt a familiar feeling in a trance.

He thought of someone,

Not from Yanjing,

It was a person beside him... a blind man.

Because usually, it is the blind man who handles the letterhead for himself and handles the following matters, and the blind man will only make a brief report to himself after processing.

That gentleman,

His position beside Emperor Yan was like a blind man beside him.

"Before the late emperor died, he personally wrote a letter to that person, instructing him on the matter of entrusting the orphans. After the late emperor passed away, for a long time, that nobleman did not write any more letters.

until,

a few months ago,

The letter from the nobleman of Yanjing came again.

Every time the Ai family saw that the late emperor had written a reply letter to that person himself, and that person's reply letter should also have been written by his own handwriting.

this matter,

Sad family knows,

Zhao Wenhua used to be by the late emperor's side, so he knows more than Aijia..."

The Queen Mother suddenly stopped,

Why didn't Zhao Wenhua mention this before when he was dragged down.

As she said before, Zhao Wenhua knew more about this matter than she, a harem woman.

But Zhao Wenhua did not say,

And the Queen Mother never doubted Zhao Wenhua's loyalty to the palace. He didn't say anything because he thought that if he said it, it would harm the palace even more!

The old eunuch Zhao Wenhua didn't say anything,

Sun Youdao also shouted to himself not to speak before fainting,

but myself,

but already said,

for a while,

The Queen Mother's body began to tremble, and a kind of belated terror began to attack her body and mind.

She remembered a passage that her husband had said to her when she was still there:

When the world of great struggle comes, the once reckless dust will rise out of the sea and become a dragon; the former princes and generals, sons and grandsons of dragons, may be knocked down into the dust;

The Queen Mother looked at Ping Xihou who was sitting there,

Looking at my son again,

She has already realized the deep meaning of her husband's words.

"who is he."

Zheng Fan asked.

Although, Zheng Fan knew that the Empress Dowager didn't know, otherwise, she wouldn't be so stupid as to play tricks on herself at this time.

Is it possible?

Still want to bargain?

This empress dowager is indeed inferior to the princess of the Marquis Mansion, and also inferior to the charming princess on her kang. She lacks political determination and foresight.

But she is not stupid. Zhao Wenhua threatened herself that not treating the palace well would chill the hearts of Jin people, but this queen mother has been playing the emotional card from beginning to end.

It seems useless, it seems ridiculous,

But it is the most practical one.

She may not have much ability and foresight, but she understands that threatening Jin people like Zhao Wenhua will only make Yan people want to erase this palace even more strongly.

so,

She's not kidding.

"Aijia, I don't know, the late emperor never said who he is, but the letters he exchanged in the past are all placed in Yushu Pavilion, no, it's called Zangshu Pavilion now.

Lord Hou, you can compare your notes, writing style, maybe you will find something. "

Lord Zheng Hou, who was sitting on the throne, smiled at this time,

this laugh,

Let the mother and son kneeling on the ground feel a little confused.

Lord Zheng raised his hand,

road:

"Cangshu Pavilion, where is it?"

"Northwest." Situ Yu hurriedly replied.

Master Zheng Hou nodded,

road:

"According to the development of the plot, it's time to catch fire now."

"Report!!!!!!"

At this time,

A personal guard rushed to enter, knelt down and reported:

"Master Hou, the attic in the northwest corner of the palace is flooded with water. The fire is very intense, but due to the barrier of the pond, it should not reach here!"

"Tsk."

Master Zheng Hou nodded,

He waved his hand to signal him to back down.

Situ Yu immediately shouted: "Master Hou, I didn't set the fire, I didn't set it off, you have to trust me."

Master Zheng Hou nodded,

road:

"Ben Hou believed it, you don't have that brain."

"..." Situ Yu.

Lord Zheng Hou leaned back slightly,

hands crossed,

placed on the lower abdomen;

It's not Xiaoliuzi. At that time, Xiaoliuzi might still be a head arrester in Nan'an County;
