Peerless Pirates

"This largest hall is called Taiji Hall. It was the place where the upper dynasty was located in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Queen Mother's Palace is here, and Xizhai is at this location..."

In a room in the manor in the west of the city, Ming'er was using a piece of wood to point to a map several feet wide on the wall. There were only two people below her, one was Song Zheng, and the other was the Song Mansion's personal guard. youngest.

At this moment, Xiaoyao was dressed in a yellow embroidered robe and a golden crown on his head. Apart from his pale face and panicked eyes, he really looked like a king.

This is one of the follow-up methods prepared by Song Zheng. Xiao Yao, who was originally 30% similar to Pang Ying, has become 67% similar after Ming'er's expert makeup. Of course, the yellow robe and crown are both fake. It was just something Song Zheng stole from the troupe.

Before going to the Kingdom of Shu, Song Zheng used the limited time to write down the little emperor's habits and actions, etc., and gave them to Ming'er and Xiaoyao. Ming'er had lived in the palace since he was a child, and was very familiar with everything there. She is familiar with Xiao Yao, so it is perfect for her to teach Xiao Yao. Song Zheng also took time to guide Xiao Yao. In the next few months, trying to imitate the little emperor is Xiao Yao's only task.

All this must be kept secret, and no one can tell it except the people closest to Song Zheng. Out of caution about the money in the cabinet, even the little emperor himself does not know.

In case something happens in Jiangning, Song Zheng has already designed a plan to fake the truth and has found a route for the implementation of this plan. Among them, Han Kui and Princess Pang Yun are important links. The only thing Song Zheng hopes for is , I was overly worried about the day this strategy was not implemented.

In a house not far from this room, Mu Yu, Yuan Rong and Cai Yong were sitting on chairs, drinking tea silently. All three of them were new officials and after two days of integration and familiarity, they They were all summoned to the manor by Song Zheng. Before Song Zheng entered Shu, they needed to agree on Yousi's future direction.

Half an hour later, Song Zheng walked into the room. After several days of sleepless preparations, his eyes were bloodshot. If he hadn't had a superhuman physique, he might not have been able to keep an eye on him. In the past few days, he had to deal with There are too many things to do. Han Kui's affairs, Huitong Trading Company, Yousi, and even the visit to Yang Zhen all need to be carefully planned. The preparations for the envoy from the Ministry of Rites are beyond Song Zheng's work and will also cost a lot of money. He had so much energy that he had so little time to talk to Qian'er about himself.

There was almost no politeness. After drinking a cup of tea, Song Zheng said: "Yousi will be idle for a while. During this time, we must rectify all aspects of the country. The court will no longer let us deal with corrupt officials. We can focus on Focus on straightening out the internal affairs, win over those who should be roped in, and kill those who should be killed. Anyway, this is the internal affairs of Yousi, and the court will not say anything. Brother Mu and Sister Yuan have both been in Dark Eagle for many years, and they are responsible for everyone on the road. The people in charge are very understanding, and I think you all know what to do specifically."

Muyu said solemnly, "Don't worry about this. Shuiding, Yuan Rong and I can solve this matter together. Before the end of the year, Yousi will be reborn."

"That's good." Song Zheng nodded, took out a stack of papers from his arms, and handed the top dozen to Mu Yu.

"The above is the training plan for the soldiers. I have deleted what I used to train Cai Yong and the others. From now on, the training of the soldiers will be carried out according to this. This matter will be handled by Cai Yong first, and when Jiang Dakui comes back, it will be handed over to him , Commander Yuan can just keep an eye on it. Of course, you should take a look at this plan first, and you can modify it based on your experience. The only requirement is to turn these soldiers into elite soldiers as soon as possible. Don't underestimate these three hundred soldiers, they They are all retired sergeants and brave and powerful men. When they were recruited by the escort agency, they were strictly screened and they all have good foundations. Once trained well, they can be of great use at critical times."

Yuan Rong and Mu Yu looked at each other, "Xiao Lang, do you have any bad premonitions?"

"It's not bad, it's very bad." Song Zheng sighed, "You may not know that Pang Hui fainted in the palace yesterday and only woke up after the imperial doctor's full treatment."

"Is this happening?" Muyu asked in surprise.

"Well, Pang Hui's days may be numbered. Originally, with his foundation, he could have lasted for more than a year. However, in the past few months, he has been busy reorganizing all his efforts. , and also prepared to send troops to Guanzhong. I worked hard and overworked, and my body was almost exhausted. Since Da Qi was about to send troops, the news of Pang Hui's fainting was concealed." Song Zheng's face was sullen, and his face was red. Si's eyes were staring, showing an almost pathological excitement.

He heard the news about Pang Hui's fainting from the young emperor. Before leaving, Song Zheng went to Xizhai almost every day to discuss the affairs of the country with the young emperor. The young emperor may have regretted his previous actions, but now he was worried about everything. I wanted to ask Song Zheng for his opinion. Song Zheng kept racking his brains to come up with appropriate countermeasures. Unfortunately, he was not an all-rounder and could only put forward the most appropriate opinions based on what he knew.

Song Zheng continued, "If the war in Guanzhong can be resolved in a short time, there may not be any serious problems. If the war does not go well and the time is too long, it is very likely that Pang Hui will not be able to wait until that time. What if he falls ill on the way? , not only will the war be affected, but chaos will also occur in Jiangning City. Therefore, we must respond as soon as possible."

Yuan Rong nodded, "Indeed, Pang Hui has been in charge of the army for many years. If he dies, no one will be able to take up the position of Taiwei for a while. Not even Yang Zhen, Dong Lancheng, or even Qiao Zhenchuan and others. Everyone expects that there will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers in the court."

"Enter the Dragon is true, but the final result may surprise you." Song Zheng snorted.

"Besides these people, who else is there?" Yuan Rong asked curiously.

"Sister Yuan seems to have forgotten an old guy. He has not been idle these years. I still haven't found out how many trump cards he has."

Muyu thought for a while, "Did Xiaolang mean the Duke's Mansion?"

"That's right. The reason why I have so many doubts is that this is the person I'm most worried about." Then, Song Zheng slowly explained the doubts about Pang Tong, making Mu Yu and Yuan Rong look at each other.

"Maybe I'm overly worried, but I can't help it. After all, this old guy's methods are too sinister, far beyond the scope of power. For this reason, I have prepared some tricks, and I will tell you one by one now."

"First, there is Ding Long. Ding Long is an insider of the Duke's government, so I sent him to Liangzhe Road and left him alone for the time being. You will see how you use this person."

"Ding Long?" Cai Yong's face was full of surprise.

"Not bad." Song Zheng patted him on the shoulder, "Now you know the reason why I transferred him? If you two confront each other, I hope you won't slow down."

Cai Yong showed a look of surprise at first, then waved his fist, "Don't worry, Young Master, I will never be soft. I just didn't expect that Young Master is so kind to us, why would he betray Young Master."

"We don't need to know the reason. I only know that he is a very good chess piece now." Song Zheng said lightly, "Okay, let's talk about the second point, that is Lu Bingxuan. He also provided it to me. A lot of information. I have written all this information on paper, but I don’t have time to verify it. You also have to do this."

"Lu Bingxuan? That Yuanzhou Zhizhou you arrested? How did you do it?" Yuan Rong was very curious.

"It's okay not to mention the means. However, I can't trust him 100% just to see the results. Here are a few things that he once wrote in his own handwriting. You can contact him secretly according to the method I wrote down. , tell him that these pieces of paper are in your hands, and I think he will be more cooperative." With that, Song Zheng handed over one of the materials.

"Third, Li Hongniang is my woman. In the past few months, she has mobilized manpower to monitor the Guogong Mansion and Yijiang Villa. Although the gains are not many, there are still some suspicious points. You can communicate with each other and cooperate secretly at critical times. I know that there is some grudge between Sister Yuan and Sister Li..."

Yuan Rong waved her hand and said, "No need to say more, Xiao Lang. It turns out that those things are all for their own sake and are not personal grudges. Although we are not convinced by each other, we still have a view of the overall situation. As long as Li Hongniang is fine, I will There will be no problem.”

Song Zheng glanced at Mu Yu, who smiled and said, "Compared with your outstanding skills in both civil and military affairs, your ability to find a good match seems to be even better."

Yuan Rong gouged out Muyu and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you envious?"

Mu Yu chuckled and said no more. After such an interruption, the atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot.

Song Zheng looked at the last piece of paper and said, "Every right department is in the process of rectification. Jiang Ning You Department must not have to spend too much energy. After all, Sister Yuan has been in charge for several years. Now it is logical to replace Cai Yong. Therefore, Jiang Ning You Department Si's side must play its role as soon as possible. The people on this list must be targeted. Special attention should be paid to a few points. Regarding the garrison, the city guards on the west wing of Jiangning and the navy in Dantu must pay attention. As for the navy, you need to contact my uncle Lu Hong, who will regularly pass on information to my house. The second one is Old Bald Donkey Difei. With the secret support of Pang Tong, Hongjue Temple also trained a group of soldiers. Criticizing the monks. I suspect that he has some evil intentions. This will be handled by Li Hongniang, so you don’t have to worry about it for the time being."

After a quick glance, Song Zheng said hesitantly, "The third one is Huang Song, and he is also in cahoots with the Duke's Mansion."

"Xiao Lang, I know what you are worried about. Huang Song is good to me, but we know the importance." Muyu said solemnly, making a gentle chopping motion with one hand.

"Well, the last one is also the most critical one, which is to target the two commanders of the Forbidden Army and the commanders of each battalion." Song Zheng frowned, "The Forbidden Army is the guardian of the imperial city, but it is also the deepest. A place. At least I have been the commander of the Zhenzi Battalion for so long, and I have not felt much wrong. However, this is also the most dangerous. Once there is a change, it is most convenient for the Imperial Army to take action."

Song Zheng threw the last piece of paper to Mu Yu, "In a word, Jiangning Yousi and Jiangning Zuosi are going to cooperate secretly to turn Jiangning City into an intelligence barrel. No hint of trouble should be hidden from your eyes."

Muyu hesitated for a moment, "What should we do if we encounter something unpredictable and we can't make up our mind or even have no idea what to do?"

Song Zheng smiled, "Then there is one last trick, find Ming'er. However, I really hope that this trick won't be used. If it is, it will be the real civil strife in Daqi."
