Peerless Pirates

Chapter 230 Strategies of differentiation

Hearing Yingji's question, Wanyan Yusheng's eyes flashed coldly, "The first thing is to get rid of the blood wolf people."

But they and I are also cautious and don't dare to make any moves."

"Would this act as a warning to others?" Yingji frowned, "Now Wanyan Yu is not willing to come to Zhongdu. If he knows that the Blood Wolf people have been killed, will he be even less willing to come?"

Song Zheng said, "The key is to seize this opportunity. The destruction of the blood wolf will certainly arouse Wanyan Yudu's vigilance (the latest chapter of the biochemical virus). However, he will definitely come to Zhongdu. First, the old emperor

He issued strange orders and said some unintelligible words. Everyone in the upper echelons of Zhongdu became suspicious and believed that the old emperor intended to make Wan Yan Jing the crown prince. In the past few days, people kept visiting Wan Yan Jing.

Yan Jing, both the main war and the main peace faction. Some originally wavering forces also began to move towards Wanyan Jing, which made Zhongdu's power divided into three parts. In this case, Wanyan Jing became

An important opponent of Wanyan Yudu. Don't forget, from Wanyan Yudu's point of view, Yusheng is not in Zhongdu. So he has to rush back to stabilize his own power, and then compete with Wanyan Jing."

"Secondly, although Wanyan Yudu and others secretly threaten the old emperor with the idea of ​​splitting Dajin, why do they want to split? Once Dajin is in turmoil, they will never think of invading the south again. Therefore, he will not stay in the north forever.

I dare not push the old emperor too far."

"Thirdly, Wanyan Yudu is waiting for the news of Yusheng's assassination. So, we made a plan. As long as the fake prince is assassinated, seriously injured, life is in danger, and his life is in danger. Wanyan Yudu will definitely make a quick trip and return.

Come to Zhongdu."

Li Hongniang and everyone nodded.

Yingji and others have nothing to do with Wanyan Yudu. The current situation in Zhongdu is such that most people, even those from the Zhuhe faction, Wanyan Yusheng dare not contact at the moment. With the arrival of Yingji and others, Wanyan Yusheng feels relieved

Available people.

In the evening, the Wushi and Wushe brothers acted separately to contact the left ministers Wanyan Zhangshou and Wanyan Yuhun. At the critical moment, Yingji, the Pang brothers, and Li Hongniang all went out to escort these two people and prevent people from following them.

Nearly two hours later, Wu She came back first.

Wushe had already contacted Wanyan Yuhun. In late September, it was the day when Wanyan Yuhun’s East Gate armed guards patrolled the city. Wanyan Yuhun lived in the city, and Wushe easily saw him holding Wanyan Yusheng’s famous sword. Wushe saw him here.

I went mainly to find out Wanyan Yuhun's attitude.

When Wushe mentioned the blood wolf, Wanyan Yuhui was full of hatred (read the full text of "The Plane Merchant in the Cultivation World"). It can be said that few senior people in Zhongdu are satisfied with the people of the blood wolf, even Wanyan Yudu

The main war party also criticized this

Wanyan Yudu moved the blood wolf to Zhongdu, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of many senior officials in Zhongdu. Who wants to have their private parts exposed in Wanyan Yudu’s eyes? It’s just that Wanyan Yudu is the second prince,

All the senior officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

The Blood Wolf is not an official secret agency like the Imperial City Division, but was privately established by Wanyan Yudu and Tarili. In Daijin, there is no force like the Dark Eagle to compete with the Blood Wolf, so people talk about

The bloody wolf is filled with hatred and fear.

Wanyan Yudu regards all brothers as obstacles to seizing power, so the relationship with each brother is not very good. Because Yuhun is close to Yusheng, Wanyanyu has taken special care of her. Therefore, when it comes to dealing with the blood wolf,

Come, Wanyan Yuhun excitedly asked for advice.

Wu She didn't know the detailed plan, but just said that the Sixth Prince came to ask His Highness the attitude of the Fourth Highness. Wanyan Yuhui immediately said that as long as he could know the Xuelang's lair, he would send troops to exterminate them now.

When Wu She was reporting, the Pang brothers who followed him came back with a few drops of blood on their bodies. It turned out that as soon as Wu She approached Wanyan Yuhun's residence, the Pang brothers discovered that there was someone watching them. After Wu She came out,

The two monitors followed. The Pang brothers were naturally not polite and killed the two men without any effort.

Then, Wu Shi, who went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion, also came back and brought back two important pieces of news.

The first one was that an official from the main war faction in the court wrote a letter to confer a knighthood on Wanyan Jing. The old emperor severely criticized him in the memorial, saying that he had bad intentions and that the person who wrote the letter would be investigated and dealt with. He also asked someone to tell the court that he would not be punished.

I must write again to talk about ennobling Wanyan Jing.

Being knighted is not that simple.

There are nine levels of nobility in Daijin: King, County Prince, Duke of the State, Duke of the County, Marquis of the County, County Bo, County Bo, County Son, and County Prince. These titles are all customized by the city.

Daijin stipulates that as long as the children of the royal family are over fifteen years old and are ennobled, they must leave Zhongdu and go to their own towns (read the full text of Xingdou Tianyuan). They can only stay in Zhongdu unless they have the emperor's holy order.

Although most of the royal family are now favored by the emperor and have not been granted a title, no matter how high the title is, they are still just kings, not "emperors".

For the princes, whether they are knighted or not has become a symbol of whether they can inherit the throne. If they are knighted, they will not be able to inherit the throne. Those who are not knighted still have hope. This has become a relatively established practice of the Jin Dynasty. For example, complete the

Yan Yuhun has been granted the title of King of the Jin Dynasty. Because he is in charge of the First Division of the Armed Guards, he can be regarded as staying in Zhongdu according to the Holy Order. However, neither Wanyan Yudu nor Wanyan Yusheng has been granted the title of King.

Now someone proposed to confer the title of king to Wanyan Jing, which meant asking the old emperor if he intended to pass the throne to Wanyan Jing. As a result, the old emperor refused unceremoniously and even investigated the person who submitted the letter. This direction is too obvious.

.

After this memorial spread, more people turned to Wanyan Jing's side, and the power of Zhongdu quickly became clear.

The second news that Wu Shi received was that the candidate for Commander Wu had been confirmed, and he was Wanyan Qiehe, Wanyan Qiehe, the cousin of Bohai County. Wanyan Qiehe was sixty years old and was considered highly virtuous and highly respected in the court. Wanyan

When Yong ascended the throne

, Xixia took advantage of the unstable political situation in Dajin and invaded eastward. The young Wanyan Qiehe led his army to participate in the bloody battles in those years and grew up during the war. After he became the border commander, he completely stabilized the relationship between Dajin and Xixia.

boundary.

However, ten years ago, Wanyan Qiehe resigned from the army on the grounds of old age and frailty, and declined Wanyan Yong's grace to stay in Zhongdu, and went to Bohai County to enjoy his happiness. Wanyan Qiehe

After he took refuge, he kept a very low profile and never talked about state affairs. He just studied, grew vegetables, and lived a happy life like a farmer. If it hadn't been for the sudden suggestion of the old emperor, people would have almost forgotten that there was such an old minister.

No one in the court had any objections to Wan Yan's appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Military Guard. He was regarded as a figure acceptable to all factions.

After saying this, Wu Shi took out a letter from his arms and said, "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, the Left Prime Minister also asked me to give this letter to you."

Wanyan Yusheng opened the envelope curiously. After taking a look, he broke into sweat and hurriedly handed it to Song Zheng.

Song Zheng couldn't help but change his expression after seeing the letter and asked, "What did the Prime Minister say?"

Wu Shi replied, "I didn't say anything. I just said that I would give this letter to His Highness the Sixth Prince."

Song Zheng waved his hand to let him out and couldn't help but think deeply.

It turns out that this letter was written by Zhang Zong to Wanyan Wanyanjing, the right minister. The letter was very short, "Your Excellency, Shishu, Your Excellency: I had a dream yesterday that I traveled to Qin with my uncle, saw the grand scene of Famen Temple, and watched the Taipei Palace.

See the majestic Baishan Mountain, admire the scenery of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and then climb to the top of the Xiyuan Mountains and set foot on Mount Li

The ancestral dragon. When the scenery is beautiful, I suddenly wake up from a dream and feel as if I have lost it. In the past, Taizu visited the Song Dynasty and saw the vastness of Shanxi and Hebei, and saw the majesty of the Yellow River. Every time I think about Taizu's achievements, my heart yearns for them. Now my unworthy nephew wants to die in the world.

My uncle gave me wine at Xianyang Bridge but got nothing, so I am very sad. My unworthy nephew Zhang Zong worships me again."

This letter was an idea that Song Zheng gave to Wanyan Yusheng and Zhang Zong when he first arrived at Tiedamu Camp. He asked Wanyan Yusheng to write a letter to the main war forces in the DPRK and China, saying that he did not have no intention of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, but he just thought that he should plot it.

Guanzhong, not the more powerful Daqi, wanted to use this move to divide the forces in Wanyan Yudu.

After several people discussed it again, they felt that it was not feasible for Wanyan Yusheng to come forward, so Zhang Zong wrote the letter instead. The senior management of Daikin knew that Wanyan Zhangzong was Wanyan Yusheng's personal adviser, just like they knew that Tari followed Wanyan Yudu closely.

.So, Zhang Zong’s attitude almost represents Wanyan Yusheng’s attitude.

As for the person to whom he wrote the letter, he directly chose Wanyan Jing, the representative of the main fighting force in the DPRK and the Right Prime Minister. Wanyan Jing was also from the Wanyan tribe, and was the uncle of Wanyan Zhangzong and his brother Wanyan Zhangshou according to seniority.

Therefore, Zhang Zongcai called him "Uncle Shi" in his letter.

After the letter was written to a good person, Tiedam sent someone to deliver it to Zhongdu. Now Wanyanjing handed the letter to the left minister Wanyan Zhangshou, and then it was returned to Wanyan Yusheng's hands, which was quite strange.

"At that time, did Mr. Zhang write another letter to explain the matter to his brother?" Song Zheng looked serious.

"How dare you hide this kind of thing from the left prime minister!" Wanyan Yusheng said, "Mr. Zhang felt that it would be inappropriate to take such an action without first communicating within his own camp. So, he wrote two letters at that time

.The first is for Wanyan Jing, and the second is for his brother. Explain to him the reasons for doing this and the national policy after he succeeds in taking the throne in the future. The letter to Wanyan Jing should be read by the left minister before giving it to the right minister.

Sent as a gift."

Song Zheng took a long breath. At this critical moment, he was afraid that there would be problems within his own people. Since Wanyan Zhangshou had read the letter, it meant that he agreed to do this. So, what did Wanyan Jing mean by returning the letter to Wanyan Zhangshou?

?This letter was obviously returned by Wanyan Jing. Why did he choose this time to return it?

"Is Wanyan Jing disdainful of our ideas? Or does he think this letter can be used to divide the main camp?" Wanyan Yusheng asked.

Song Zheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Wanyan Jing may have done this because Wanyan Jing's status has suddenly risen. The main war faction wants to make peace with us. We must first defeat Wanyan Jing."

Song Zheng pondered for a while and then said, "I wonder if Brother Yan noticed that Prime Minister Zuo didn't say anything when he wrote this letter to Wu Shi?"

Wanyan Yusheng nodded.

The corner of Song Zheng's mouth turned up and he said, "No expression means that he is noncommittal. I think this has two meanings. One is that the left prime minister's own attitude is noncommittal about this. He is neither clearly opposed to the plot to Guanzhong, but also does not support it. The other is that

The underlying meaning may be Wanyan Jing, the right minister, who is also uncommittal about this. Wanyan Jing may think this is your expedient measure, and may think that your idea may be implemented."

Wanyan Yusheng frowned and said, "Isn't this equivalent to not saying anything?"

Song Zheng chuckled and said, "No attitude is just an attitude, so now you have to give your father a memorial to oppose that Li Yongxi marrying Wanyan Yudu."

"Oh? My father has already asked the Ministry of Rites to agree on the wedding date. If I submit a letter this time, am I asking for trouble?" Wanyan Yusheng looked puzzled.

Song Zheng smiled and said, "No, Brother Yan, listen to me."
